I have a lot of relatives

The eastern suburbs of Guobei County.

The mountain road leading to Lanruo Temple.

A young man dressed in brocade clothes and holding a knife in his right hand suddenly stopped and turned to look at the mountain stream not far away.

"What a heavy Yin Qi!"

The young man frowned, turned and walked towards the mountain stream.

This person is just the new county magistrate Pan Haodong who just said to convince the powerful squires of Guobei County.

Because of idleness and boredom, I went to Lanruo Temple to see if he had the luck of his cousin, Ning Caichen, to win the favor of the beautiful ghost Nie Xiaoqian...

I don't know if luck is good or bad, Pan Haodong encountered a ghost before he walked into Lanruo Temple.

But it was not a female ghost, but a male water ghost floating on the pool and dancing swords. He was muddled, but his swordsmanship was extremely clever. When he saw Pan Haodong by the pool, he didn't show a fierce appearance, just practicing swordsmanship.

The water ghost murmured something from time to time.

"My Xiahou is the number one sword in the world..."

"Yan Chixia!"

"I want to defeat you, defeat you, defeat you, defeat..."

Listening carefully to the whisper of the water ghost, Pan Haodong suddenly realized that this water ghost with excellent swordsmanship was the Xiahou swordsman who was indirectly killed by Nie Xiaoqian.

Before Xiahou died, he was playing with Nie Xiaoqian's mandarin ducks in this pool. Before he took off his clothes, he was sucked by the tree demon's grandmother and his corpse was thrown into the pool.

Therefore, the Xiahou swordsman turned into a ghost, just a ghost trapped in the pool.

Water ghosts have certain restrictions on harming people. Before they find a substitute, they will not be able to leave the victimized waters for a lifetime. Xiahou swordsman has become a water ghost in a short period of time, and may not know that'he' is dead.

Otherwise, he would not be so obsessed with the fame of the world's number one sword.

"The sword is not so dancing!"

After reading the swordsmanship of Xiahou swordsman, Pan Haodong found that Xiahou's swordsmanship was a bit rigid, just like those who study hard, don't know the knowledge in flexible books, only know rote memorization, knowing it is not knowing why.

No wonder the swordsman Xiahou has chased Yan Chixia for seven years, and he has lost for seven years, never winning once.

Xiahou's intentions were not righteous, and he was unsure of his use of tricks, and the heat was too great.

"who are you?"

Xiahou swordsman stopped dancing and turned to look at Pan Haodong.

Pan Haodong said: "An insignificant passerby."

"Are you also a swordsman?"

Xiahou Swordsman asked.

"No, I am a swordsman." After a pause, Pan Haodong continued: "But I have heard about the life deeds of a great swordsman, do you want to come over and listen?"

"I, can't make it!"

Xiahou swordsman said with annoyance: "For some reason, I woke up and I was trapped here. I can walk anywhere where there is water, but it is difficult to walk where there is no water."

"That's because you are already dead. Die in this pool and become a water ghost. Water ghosts can't get on the shore."

Pan Haodong was blunt.

It's dead if you die. It doesn't matter if you don't know it, just tell him by yourself.

Xiahou swordsman must not be allowed to think that he is still human.

This is not a good thing.

Because the longer the delay, after knowing, the ghosts turned into ghosts and the kings of ghosts abound. There are many similar records in the Anecdote of Maoshan.

"I, I'm already dead?"

Xiahou swordsman staggered down on the water and murmured: "It must have been the stinky lady a few nights ago! No wonder I can walk on the water for a long time after I wake up. I thought it was a great improvement in my skills. Thinking of...I turned out to be a ghost, and a water ghost trapped in a pool."

"I have a way for you to live ashore."

Pan Haodong interrupted at the right time.

Xiahou swordsman's eyes lit up and said excitedly: "What are the conditions?"

"Take my orders all my life."

"impossible."

Hearing Pan Haodong’s conditions, Xiahou swordsmen raised two faintly blue ghost fires in his eyes, and said angrily: "I have been obsessed with swords all my life, and I stand upright. Three feet of green peaks in his hand have stabbed corrupt officials, slaughtered bandits, and killed Demon. Do you dare to humiliate me so?"

"Never agree if you don't agree, why are you so popular?"

Pan Haodong glanced at a clean stone and sat down: "Let’s talk about something else, let’s talk about the swordsman who was just now, he! But a great martial arts senior, named Dugu Qiuqi, self-proclaimed'Sword Demon'. In the year of weak crown, all the famous players in the world were defeated. Before dying, three lines of characters were carved on the stone tablet."

"what?"

Xiahou swordsman asked quickly.

"For more than 30 years, we have killed all enemies and heroes, and the world has no resistance. We have no choice but to live in deep valleys and make friends with eagles. Woohoo, I hope that a rival cannot be obtained in my life, and it is embarrassing to be lonely. The signature is: Sword Demon Dugu seeks defeat."

As soon as Pan Haodong said this, because he knew his identity as a "ghost", the lost and perplexed Xiahou swordsman sitting on the pool, a wave of blood rushed to his heart.

"For more than 30 years, we have killed all enemies and lost all heroes!"

"It's hard to get a rival in your life!"

"Senior Sword Demon, really a role model for my generation, I must..."

As he spoke, the voice of Xiahou Swordsman became quieter.

All become water ghosts!

Even though he was full of enthusiasm in his heart and wanted to learn from Senior Sword Demon and become the number one person in the world, Xiahou could only think about it, and never want to get out of this pool for the rest of his life.

No, there is hope...

Xiahou swordsman, looking longingly at Pan Haodong.

"Can you really let me leave this pool?"

"can."

Pan Haodong nodded seriously.

A trace of struggle flashed in Xiahou's eyes, and he hesitated and said, "Well, as long as you teach me the swordsmanship experience of Senior Sword Demon, I will promise to be your ghost servant and be at your disposal for my life."

"I hope you believe it, or you might die again."

Pan Haodong took a vaccination in advance and said slowly: "Senior Sword Demon, once summed up his life's kendo experience into five realms."

"In the first state, the sword is unintentional. It is fierce and fierce, and it is invincible. It is weak to compete with the heroes of Heshuo.

"With the help of the sharpness of the sword to maximize the moves, and at the same time, the speed is also increased. The core theory of martial arts is to win without moves, not to stick to routines. It means not to stick to fixed moves, adapt to changes, use the simplest, most direct, The most precise and ingenious move to defeat the opponent."

"I just watched you practice sword, you should still be groping in this realm. If you don't like to hear, you are far from the predecessors of the sword demon. But you also have an advantage, that is, you are infatuated with the sword. In an imaginary name, you don’t practice swords for the best sword in the world. Your kendo cultivation and realm will surely enter another peak..."

Pan Haodong's words made the Xiahou swordsman face red, thinking that he was just inferior to Yan Chixia, and could not become the world's first sword and the world's second sword.

I never thought that he, the second sword in the world, was worse than the predecessor of the sword demon in the weak crown.

Really shame me too!

After a long silence, after digesting Senior Sword Demon's understanding of the first stage of kendo, Xiahou Swordsman couldn't wait to say, "What about the second stage?"

"The second realm is'soft sword impermanence'. Because the soft sword is as soft as silk and its strength is not easy to master and use, it is extremely difficult for those who are not proficient in this way to use it easily..."

Just as Pan Haodong was explaining the five realms of kendo to Xiahou swordsman, a bearded man who looked very bold, came over with a sword box on his back.
