Chapter 463 Invincible Swordsman 456
South of Xianzhou Luofu, north of Jinren Lane, close to the inner road of Xuanye Avenue.
This is an old-style residential area. A hundred years ago, it was a hub connecting Xuanye Avenue and Jinren Lane.
Now Jinren Lane has been renovated and its former residents have moved into the city.
Only a few large courtyards with brick and tile houses and cobwebs on their eaves were left, exposed to the sun day after day.
At dusk, Yan Qing led the three-person train team and Yun Li to find the old house hidden behind the bustling neighborhood.
It's rare that there is still a maple tree left in the yard, but its leaves have almost all fallen off.
The dead branches cut the dim sunlight into pieces, and a layer of dead leaves lay on the bricks and tiles.
"Wow, General Jingyuan is really good at finding a place. He actually thought of letting us practice here. But is it really okay to break into a private house like this?" San Yueqi followed Yan Qing carefully into the courtyard and couldn't help asking.
"Since the general has said so, there must be no problem."
After a pause, Yan Qing continued, "I heard from Miss Bai Lu before that this was once the residence of General Siming and General Jingliu, but later they moved into the residence of the Chiming Clan, which left this yard vacant."
San Yueqi looked at the empty house, nodded thoughtfully, and thought to himself, no wonder.
The corners of the eaves of the other houses were either covered with cobwebs, or the outer walls had cracks from long periods of wind and sun, making them look rather dilapidated.
But this house is the only one that is clean and tidy inside and out, as if someone comes to clean it every day.
The red brick exterior looked like it had just been repainted recently.
The well in the yard hasn't even dried up yet, and if you look inside you can see the water is crystal clear.
The lighting in the courtyard is very good. The dim light shines down from overhead, casting the dead branches and trunks of maple trees on the floor tiles, like a monster with bared fangs and claws.
Dan Heng was also looking at Jiang Fan's old residence. In a trance, time seemed to be rewinding in his eyes like an audio.
He saw the courtyard as it was a hundred years ago. The courtyard was bustling with people and clinking glasses. He saw the most lively scene of the courtyard a hundred years ago.
But when I came to my senses, the compound was still the same compound, but everything and the people had changed.
All that was left was an empty courtyard, the maple tree, and the old friends with memories.
"Damn it, this is evil capitalism. It's a shame not to use such a big yard to build a swimming pool. By the way, I'm a little thirsty. Is the water in this well drinkable?" Wolong looked around the house and suddenly fixed his eyes on the well.
"Well, the people from the Land Observation Department send people to clean and tidy up every week. I think the water in the well is also checked regularly. In theory, it should be drinkable." Yan Qing thought for a moment and said softly.
What he said was indeed true. Officials from the Land and Investment Department did send people to this mansion every week.
As for whether the water in the well was the work of the Dihengsi, he was not quite sure, but he thought it would not be enough to kill people.
Yan Qing hesitated for a while, and after much thought, he decided to make it clear to Xing that he could not guarantee 100% whether the water in the well was safe.
But the moment he turned around, he decided it would be better not to say anything.
Because at this time Xing was lying beside the well, scooping water with a gourd ladle and drinking it in big gulps.
"But let me make it clear in advance, practicing sword is to train the body, mind and strength. It is not a game that can be achieved overnight." Yan Qing turned his head silently, not paying attention to Xing who was drinking water with a gourd ladle, but staring into San Yueqi's eyes.
"You had the idea of learning swordsmanship before. This time, I promised General Huai Yan that I would let Miss Sanyue learn the swordsmanship of Yunqi, participate in the martial arts ceremony, and defeat at least one opponent."
Yan Qing paused, and glanced at Yun Li, who was looking around in the courtyard with a look of longing, and took a deep breath and said, "I will do my best to teach you, but if you disobey the teacher's teachings..."
"Don't worry. Sanyue has been an obedient and studious child since childhood. Although his talent and aptitude are not as good as mine, he will never do anything to disobey the teachings of his teachers." Xing threw the gourd ladle into the well, raised his head and said while smacking his lips.
"Once I have spoken, I cannot take it back. Since you have promised to study hard, let me start from today! I must make a name for myself." San Yueqi narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, very spirited. This is the kind of determination and courage we need." Yan Qing expressed his admiration that "this young man is teachable."
"Yanqing, I'm leaving March to you. Don't be too polite to her." Danheng gave objective advice at a professional level.
"Dan Heng, your heart is even colder than your usual jokes." San Yue Qi almost yelled, but she suddenly touched her chin and asked seriously: "Do I have a chance to win the martial arts ceremony?"
Dan Heng was stunned for a moment, thinking that you might not even win the championship with bow and arrow, let alone swordplay...
……
Three hours ago, Luofusichen Palace.
The luxurious wooden sword case lay on a tray covered with soft velvet fabric, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.
That was the prize prepared by Zhu Ming's General Huai Yan for Luofu's martial arts ceremony.
It is said that the sword in the sword box is the pinnacle of Zhu Ming's craftsmanship. It was once wandered in a foreign land and created many heroic deeds.
In the original words of General Huai Yan, this sword should be given away as a prize during this defense competition. The winner of the competition must be a hero who is worthy of the sword.
But if Yan Qing and Yun Li want to win the prize, they need to work together to train an apprentice.
Let her take part in the martial arts ceremony and win at least one match.
It is indeed gratifying that the Cloud Rider Swordsman stood out at the peak of victory.
But it is more valuable to pass down the skills, allow them to flourish and benefit others.
If this person could represent the train in the martial arts ceremony with the Cloud Rider sword technique and show off his skills, it would be a great achievement.
Among the three-person team on the train, Dan Heng was the Luofu Dragon Lord in his previous life. He was good at using the Cloud Cavalry Spear Technique, so he was naturally not the best candidate.
And Xing Huaiyan had also heard a little about her. It was said that she was very active in the Xianzhou Forum and was known as the Power Dog.
His style of doing things is unpredictable, and it is said that his bottom line is also unpredictable. He is not the best candidate in his mind.
So under Huai Yan's method of elimination, the seemingly harmless March 7th successfully stood out.
……
Let's play a game, kids. You hide on the highway, and when a truck comes at full speed, you suddenly jump in front of it to scare it.
