Chapter 53 Sword Cultivator Goes West

Many years later, whenever the human race looks back on the magnificent and magnificent war in the Central Spiritual Realm, it will always be the beginning of the human race's counterattack. Xiu Xizheng, the moment he arrived at the Central Spiritual Realm.

But in fact, the start of the human race's counterattack had nothing to do with Sword Sect, nor the Eastward Journey of Candle Dragon Palace, nor even the Yulin Guard and Chang'an Guard assigned by Xia Zhao's will, but from an ordinary sword cultivator.

 …

In the northwestern border of Zhonglingyu, there is a wilderness area of ​​more than 5,000 kilometers.

On the edge of this wilderness area, there is a small border town.

This is a lonely frontier town. In the wilderness that spans more than 5,000 kilometers, there is one and only human city.

Other than that, it is not much different from other cities in Daxia.

Within the small town, there is a clear river running across it.

It is also because of the existence of this small river that this small border town was established.

Or small stone or wooden bridges over the small river.

Bananas are planted all over the river bank, and behind the banana trees are wine shops, from which the lingering aroma of wine floats out.

In front of the banana tree, there is a bustling street full of pedestrians, bustling and bustling.

As a small border town, the number of monks here is neither too large nor too strong.

In the bungalow area to the west of the small town, there is a huge bungalow

In the one-story compound at this moment, the sound of sharp weapons passing through the void is constantly being heard.

At the gate of the compound, there is a plaque hanging, which reads: Feiyan Jianli

This is a sword gym, opened by a sword repairer named Li Si.

No one knew about Li Si's origin, but they only knew that twenty years ago, Li Si quietly entered the small town, bought a compound, and opened a sword gym.

The unique feature of the small town is that the various forces and classes in the city have long been fixed. To open the door to do business here, you must get the consent of those people and follow their rules.

Even if it's just a sword gym.

Li Si opened a sword gym in the city privately, and soon encountered trouble.

Someone came to the door.

No one knows what happened.

They only knew that once the door was closed and opened again half an hour later, the monk who came to make trouble left with an embarrassed expression on his face.

After that, "Feiyan Jianli" took root in the small town and grew rapidly, becoming the largest sword gym in the small town.

The reason is also very simple. The sword hall accepts people, and only charges a symbolic spirit stone as a "tuition fee". They are all willing to teach each other.

The only threshold is a pair of couplets on both sides of the door.

"Bully the strong and bully the weak, go to another place, don't enter the gate of Sri Lanka if you are greedy for life and afraid of death."

But after all, who wouldn't make empty promises?

So this threshold is almost equal to no.

 …

In the courtyard, Li Si was sitting on a chair, drinking wine leisurely.

Below, are dozens of young sword repairers, doing daily exercises.

Feiyan sword is famous for its speed. If you want to be fast and steady, you need boring and continuous practice.

Li Si narrowed his eyes and looked at the disciples below.

His eyes are small, but it doesn't affect his sharp eyesight, and he can always point out the mistakes of his disciples in a timely and accurate manner.

Like many sword cultivators, Li Si was extremely good at killing when he was young, and he had a lot of lives in his hands.

Later, he also entered Longcheng Pass and hacked the Demon Clan Demon Cultivator.

His flying swallow sword,

It was honed in the battle with Moxiu.

Later, when he reached his age, he could not improve his cultivation for a long time, his qi and blood were gradually exhausted, and his energy and combat power were not as good as before, so he retreated from Longcheng Pass without wasting extra resources.

After retiring from the battlefield, Li Si was at a loss for a while, not knowing where to go and what to do?

Accustomed to the tense and ups and downs, life and death in an instant of fighting life, the life suddenly became dull, which really made Li Si feel at a loss.

He began to miss his first half of his life, the fresh and exciting days at Longchengguan, and the Yujian Zongheng landscape when he was young.

Then, Li Si remembered the sword practice by the river, the girl named Feiyan who liked to wear skirts, and the girl who always liked to watch him practice sword.

Finally, when he was about to leave his hometown to pursue the way of swordsmanship, the girl leaned against the fence of the ferry, looked at him infatuatedly and said:

"Fourth brother, I will wait for you here. After you come back, we will find a small town to live in seclusion, buy a big courtyard, and have many children. You teach them how to practice swords... "

It's just that it's been a hundred years.

Looking back, it has been a hundred years.

The beauty of the past has already turned into a pile of loess.

So Li Si knew what he was going to do.

He found a small border town, opened this sword gym named after a woman, and opened the gate of the sword gym wide.

Li Si, who was becoming more and more indifferent, took a sip of the wine in his hand, got up and prepared to declare that the day was over.

Just at the moment of getting up.

He seemed to have noticed something, frowned, and looked up.

Li Si saw the flying boats. There were as many flying swallows as there were thousands of flying boats, sweeping towards them like a dark cloud.

"How is this going?!"

He was shocked at first, and then his heart jumped, and he felt something was wrong.

"Master Li, Master Li." At this moment, a loud voice came from outside the door.

The next moment, a monk with a height of eight feet and a hulking back walked in quickly.

He is the guard of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Old Zhang, what happened, what's the situation with these flying boats?" Li Si asked.

"Master Li, something serious happened!" the guard called Lao Zhang said hurriedly.

"Speak slowly, don't rush."

Lao Zhang took a deep breath, and quickly told the specific situation slowly.

Then, everyone present, including Li Si and the disciples of the sword hall, were silent, their brows were frowned, and their faces became very ugly.

"Dragon City Pass is lost, evil disasters have entered the territory, and the spirit is in danger!"

This is the answer.

In addition, there are many details, such as the rebellion of Huan Lingzong, such as the destruction of the cross-domain teleportation circle.

As for what is most important to the people of this small town....

That is the demon army of Wujianyu. After taking down Longcheng Pass, it used Longcheng Pass as an anchor point, crossed Xiantian Ridge like a flood, and poured into Zhonglingyu.

Those inconspicuous small cities, small sects, and small families around Xiantian Ridge were like inconspicuous pebbles on the shallows, which were instantly submerged under the impact and beating of the flood.

Longchengguan is located in the westernmost area of ​​Zhonglingyu, so the evil disaster started from the west.

The middle spirit realm is huge, so even if the demons have a huge advantage, it will take a very long time to completely swallow the middle spirit realm.

Regarding the entry of the Demon Race, the chief monks of the major sects, families, forces, and even the cities in the Central Spiritual Domain, after paying tribute to the stubborn monks in Longcheng Pass for the first time, they quickly made their due actions. response.

The monk Longchengguan has already sacrificed his life for the clan, but there are still people alive who need to take responsibility.

The first order given by the head monks of Zhonglingyu was to fortify the walls and clear the fields.

In particular, quickly evacuate all the ethnic groups in the western region of the Central Spiritual Realm and transport them to the relatively safe eastern region of the Central Spiritual Realm.

All the forces in the Central Spiritual Realm worked together, and in a short period of time, hundreds of thousands of airships were used to transport the human race.

In addition, Daxia also issued a repair order, recruiting all monks above the five realms on the western front to organize defenses, and try to buy time for the evacuation of the human race.

Speaking of organizing defense, who doesn't know that this is actually tantamount to "delaying time with one's life"?

All the disciples in the sword hall felt angry and shocked at this moment.

But not too much fear.

Because they are still far away from the front line, the demons will not be able to fight here for a while, and they can retreat to the east in an orderly manner.

As for Daxia's conquest order, it's none of their business.

One is that their small city is located in the northwest, and is not within the scope of the western frontline conscripted by the conscription order.

The second is that in the small town, there are no monks above the fifth realm.

But to say that, it is completely impossible not to be in a hurry.

Besides, the flying boat had already reached the sky above the small town, and evacuation was imminent.

Even if hundreds of thousands of airships were mobilized, compared to the hundreds of millions of people in the west of the Central Spiritual Domain, this is still too little.

The flying boat needs to be used back and forth, running many, many times.

Therefore, Daxia only gave them half a day, and they would not wait until it was too late.

These disciples were not in the mood to practice swords anymore, not in the mood to say anything more, and even forgot to say goodbye to Li Si, so they left the sword gym in a hurry, went back to each house, packed up their belongings, and prepared to board the flying boat to evacuate.

After Lao Zhang reported the news, he also left immediately.

He also has to go back and pack his belongings.

Li Si has been silent since he heard the news of the fall of Longcheng Pass.

When the people in the sword hall left the building, Li Si wandered around the yard, went to the chair and sat down again, picked up the wine bottle, and drank.

It's just that the more you drink the wine, the more bored you become, the more you drink the more bored you become.

So he stopped.

I don't know what I'm thinking, the light in my eyes is getting brighter and brighter.

After a while, he got up again.

Li Si looked to the west and looked at the position of Longcheng Pass, then spilled the wine in the wine bag and poured it on the ground.

The aroma of wine is overflowing.

He bowed his fists to the west and said, "Drink with you all."

For the next half a day, he didn't pack his belongings.

In fact, he had nothing at all.

The sword hall doesn't make money at all.

Li Si just cleaned up the inside and outside of the sword hall, and cleaned it spotlessly.

Then, he wiped the natal sword that had not drank blood for many years with great care.

Finally, he walked out of the compound with his head held high and his chest held high, and closed the gate.

He did not lock the door.

After walking two steps, Li Si seemed to have thought of something, looked back, hesitated for a moment, and then stopped hesitating.

He removed the plaque on the door.

"Feiyan, let's go together."

The plaque was removed, so only the couplet remained at the gate of the sword hall.

"Bully the strong and bully the weak, go to another place, don't enter the gate of Sri Lanka if you are greedy for life and afraid of death."

The big bronzing characters shone with a faint golden light in the sunlight.

.........

Li Si walked out of the city gate slowly.

He saw the rolling stream of people in the open space outside the city.

You can't see the head at a glance, and there is a dense cloud.

There are so many people.

Everyone's faces were full of panic about the entry of the demon army, confusion about leaving their hometown, and even curiosity and anticipation about the first time they took a flying boat...

Among them, many people actually didn't know what the demons were before this.

Even now, they haven't figured out the concept.

All they know is that it's a bad and strong thing, so they're getting it back.

Li Si stood by the side of the road, watching the rolling crowd, watching the old and young women and children board the flying boat one by one.

Whenever a warship is fully loaded, it will rise into the sky and fly towards the east, breaking through the clouds and mist. Because of the extremely fast stirring of the airflow, it will leave long tail glows that will last for a long time.

At this time, there will always be children who exclaim "Wow".

For adults, leaving home often means sadness and reluctance.

But for children, it represents freshness, and the magic of the flying boat makes them extremely happy.

Therefore, children are the only type of people on the court who can laugh.

Li Si watched from the sidelines for a long, long time.

One after another, the airships broke through the sky.

There are fewer and fewer people outside the city.

In the end, only the last airship remained.

"Master, let's go." A baby-faced monk came up and said to Li Si.

Li Si glanced at him.

This is one of the many disciples in his sword gym, called Chang Youfu.

A very blessed name.

It's just that the owner of the name is not so blessed.

He is an orphan who grew up eating hundreds of meals.

Twenty years ago, Li Si came to the small town and opened "Flying Swallow Sword Li", and Chang Youfu, who was just a mortal, walked in.

Chang Youfu was not a monk, so he couldn't even afford a symbolic spirit stone.

But in the end, Li Si accepted him and taught him the cultivation method.

Because, Li Si saw something in Chang Youfu that belonged to sword cultivators.

Facts have proved that his vision is not wrong, but in the past twenty years, Chang Youfu has achieved a little success in Xiujian.

Of course, Chang Youfu also respected Li Si as his master, and regarded him as his biological father.

"Well," Li Si nodded, hummed, and said to Chang Youfu, "It's time to go."

"Master, you're going the wrong way, Feizhou is here!" Chang Youfu noticed that Li Si was going in the wrong direction, and hurriedly shouted.

"It's not the opposite." Li Sidao.

Chang Youfu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized what Li Si meant. He was startled and said nervously, "Master, are you going to the west?!"

"Big Xia issued a repair order."

"What he wants is a monk above the fifth level, master, you are still so old..." Chang Youfu was in a hurry, so he didn't even care about his proportions, and spoke bluntly.

"I'm not above five realms, but I also have five realms, and I killed a lot of demons when I was young."

"Your master is old, but you can still drink five pots of wine for a meal. Don't underestimate your master."

Li Si's words did not reassure Chang Youfu.

The more he listened, the more disturbed he became, "But the repair order was issued to the Western Front, and it has nothing to do with us!"

"I've stayed there before. There are only a few people on the front line. How long can I stop the demons?"

"But...it's useless for you to go alone." Chang Youfu's voice had already started to tremble.

"Who said I can only be alone?" Li Si said softly.

Although he didn't see it, he knew that besides Li Si, there must be Zhang San, Wang Wu, Zhao Liu, and tens of thousands of "Li Si" rushing to that battlefield.

"Blessed, if we want others to take our lives as their lives and risk great dangers to save us, then we have to let them see how valuable our lives are." Li Si and Chang Youfu said.

Having stayed in Longchengguan, he has a wider field of vision than ordinary people.

So he vaguely saw the isolation and helplessness that Zhonglingyu was about to face.

Li Si didn't know if the monks from other domains would take great risks to support them in the spiritual domain.

All he knew was that instead of expecting others to save Zhong Lingyu, it is better to save himself first.

 …

"Master, then you must kill two more demons." Chang Youfu rubbed his red eyes and said.

Li Si saw something about sword cultivation in Chang Youfu, so he accepted Chang Youfu as his apprentice.

And the temperament of Jianxiu is like this.

"Of course, your master is strong." Li Si assured.

"Chang Youfu, hurry up, we are leaving."

At this time, someone on the last airship behind shouted at Chang Youfu.

It's time to start.

"Go." Li Si waved his hand.

"Then... I'm leaving?" Chang Youfu said.

"Let's go."

"Master, I will definitely come back when I reach the fifth realm." Chang Youfu ran a few steps towards the flying boat, stopped again, turned around and shouted to Li Si.

"You must be alive and wait for me to come back!"

He didn't dare to waste any more time, and without waiting for Li Si's reply, he hurriedly boarded the flying boat.

"Wow."

Li Si silently watched the last flying boat lift off and head east through the sky, muttering.

He glanced at the deserted town again, smiled freely, and with a thought, he summoned his natal sword, which he hadn't used for a long time, and walked away with it.

The flying sword and the flying boat took off outside the small city one after the other, heading to the east and west in two different directions, forming two streamers of light interlaced above the sky.

The airship pierced through the air, leaving a white trail, and retreated eastward.

The sword light pierced the sky and brought a fiery air wave, heading west.

Mortals head east.

Jianxiu faces west.

.........

Li Si is just an old five-level swordsman.

He is really ordinary.

He is also really unusual.
