Chapter 18 The Journey to the Sword Garden

When I heard Mr. Zhang calling me a good name, I wondered why I never felt this way?

Follow Mr. Zhang out of the community, and I said, why haven’t I seen him before? It turned out that he was not from the community where I live.

There was a car parked outside the community that I didn't know the brand, but I knew it must be a very high-end car, which was so advanced that even Beijing rarely appeared! There were two bodyguards outside the car, and there was no driver? Oh, maybe one of them was the driver, right?

When I saw the driver and bodyguard respect Mr. Zhang and were invited into the car, I was a little nervous. I was a commoner and had never seen any big shots. The biggest official seemed to be the secretary in my hometown. Who is this old man?

After restlessly silent for more than ten minutes, I spoke, "Mr., don't mind if I call you that, do you?" If I don't say anything, I will definitely get sick.

Mr. Zhang replied with a smile: "Of course I don't mind. You hit it off when you see me and I, don't be too reserved, just be casual."

"Old man, I'm not afraid of you making jokes. For such a high-end car, I'm still a big girl getting into a sedan chair - for the first time I took a seat, so I took the initiative to ask, "What are you doing?" I said.

Mr. Zhang said: "Is it important to you what I do?"

This sentence woke me up like a wake-up call. Is it important to know what he does? Anyway, he and I met by chance, and they were just a fair relationship. Why bother what he does and what his social status is!

"What the old man said is, I've been taught!" I said, "There is another question I want to ask you!"

"What's the problem?" said Old Zhang.

"That's why you said my name is a good name just now?"

Mr. Zhang said solemnly: "Actually it's just a little trick. I just saw Lie Xinxie, so I used your name to calculate it and came to some interesting conclusions."

"Ah? What's the conclusion?" I can't tell that the old man can still test the words.

Mr. Zhang suddenly said jokingly: "You guy is really a kid. You have no demeanor to respect the elderly. I haven't asked you yet, but you have one question after another!"

I was stunned for a moment. Maybe I was affected by the old man, and suddenly felt much more relaxed. I nodded and said, "It's a kid who is abrupt. I hope you don't blame me!"

"I said it should not be too reserved. It is not good to be too young and have an accident. Relax, don't think I'm too old. My mentality is still very young!" After saying that, he said to the bodyguard in the front row: "A Kuan, it's okay to go to Jianyuan!"

"Sword Garden?" I looked at Mr. Zhang in confusion.

Mr. Zhang said: "It's just a few old men who founded it because of their hobbies. The place is quite small, but there are not many people. Nowadays, there are not many people who love ancient martial arts, and even fewer people with this talent. Let's not talk about this for now. You will know when you arrive!"

I nodded and felt a little moved. It wasn't that the old man wanted to pull me into an organization, right? I can't agree at that time. If I join a group, how can I have time to play games?

More than ten minutes later, we arrived at Jianyuan and the car drove in slowly.

Why do I think this place is a bit like a university? Whether it is greening facilities or atmosphere, it is similar to that of a school. The difference is that there are not so many buildings, and there are only small pieces of practice areas that are enclosed.

Mr. Zhang pointed to a vacant lot not far away and said to me, "Did you see those children?" More than 20 children under the age of 10 were following a man's teacher to practice boxing.

"I saw it, could it be a school?" I asked.

Mr. Zhang shook his head and said, "The most common thing in Jianyuan is to look at old men like me and children of the age just now. Here, anyone who likes ancient martial arts can come. This is not a school, but just a place to communicate."

"Then this expense..." Before I finished speaking, Mr. Zhang took over and said, "It's all the old men who are responsible. In fact, the expenses are not large, just some daily management expenses."

At this time, the car was parked in front of the door of a two-story office building. There were several other high-end cars parked here. I knew BENZ, but I didn’t know the specific model.

After going upstairs, it was a large gym, with several old men and two young men sitting together and laughing.

"Old Zhang, you finally came. You usually have it early, so why are you late today?" asked the burly old man with a short buzz cut.

After greeting each other, everyone found me, the new one.

"This young man is in good health. Where did he find it?" The old man with short beard spoke first.

Everyone looked at me together, and Mr. Zhang said, "Let me introduce it to you. This guy is called Xu Fan. When I passed by their community, he was practicing swords. His sword skills were very sharp!"

I looked at Mr. Zhang a little embarrassedly.

Mr. Zhang patted me on the shoulder, and then introduced the other four old men and another man and a woman to me.

The short buzz cut is Huang Lao, the old man with short beard is Liu Lao, the tall and thin old man is Li Lao, and the bald old man is Xu.

The young man's name is Li Xingjie, who is Mr. Li's grandson. He is half a head taller than me, and his figure is almost the same. Although he was disgusted with the disdain in his eyes when shaking hands with him, I still dealt with him with a smile.

The young woman was called Xu Yitian, but she didn't have any quiet shadow on her body. She said to me boldly: "Hello, I'm very happy to know you. So we will have another handsome guy in the future!"

"I'm also very happy to know you, and I'll have to give you more advice in the future." I can only let it go. I really don't know what will happen if I'm with these people.

"Grandpa Zhang, do you think Mr. Xu's swordsmanship is very sharp. Can we be seen?" Li Xingjie was extremely disgusted with this man named Xu Fan when he came in. He knew he was a guy with no status at first glance. Look at the sneakers on his feet and his white sportswear with wrinkled everywhere. Not only was it not a famous brand, but it was also very dirty. I really don't know why Grandpa Zhang brought such a person to the sword garden.

Xu Yitian also echoed: "Yes, Grandpa Zhang, let Xu Fan practice for us."

Old Zhang smiled and looked at me and said, "Xiao Xu, just practice it a few times to show them! Let them see if my Lao Zhang's vision is wise and whether he knows a hero!" He said that this looked at Li Xingjie meaningfully.

In everyone's surprised eyes, I took out the wooden sword held by the backhand in my left hand and said, "What's the problem with this? Everyone is optimistic!"

Accompanied by Xu Yitian's "puff" laughter, Li Xingjie's exaggerated laughter suddenly sounded: "Haha..., you're just like this shabby... ridiculous..."

"Xingjie, stop!" Mr. Li hurriedly stopped his ignorant grandson.

My face turned cold and said, "When I saw Mr. Zhang, I thought that the people in the Sword Garden were all people who knew swords. It turned out that there were such people who didn't know what they mean."

Li Xingjie's expression changed and he cursed: "What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything. In order to perform better in front of several old people, please keep your mouth shut!" I didn't even look at the mad dog and said.

When Li Xingjie heard this, he was anxious and picked up the sword beside him and said, "Good boy, I want to duel with you!"

"Dull?" I was shocked. Why did you get involved in this mess?

Mr. Li, who was standing next to Li Xingjie, grabbed his grandson and said, "Mr. Xu is a guest at the first time, so he has no reason!" The young man in front of him could not see his background, so he should look at his swordsmanship before talking about it.

"Grandpa, he..." Li Xingjie retreated depressedly, looking at me with an unknown fire.

As soon as I breathed a sigh of relief, Mr. Zhang said, "Old Li, let them young people compete, otherwise how could they see Xiao Xu's sword skills!" I looked at Mr. Zhang in surprise, and the latter did not express anything.

Day, just compare, I’m afraid you won’t succeed!

"Yes, Jianyuan is a place for communication, not a place for performance. I also agree with them to compete!" Huang Lao said.

The happiest person is Xu Yitian: "Haole, they are over, let me do it!"

Li Xingjie shook off his grandfather's hand, walked a few steps and said, "Boy, let's start!"

"This is unfair!" Xu Yitian shouted: "Xu Fan should change his sword!"

Li Xingjie was stunned and said, "Sister Tian, ​​lend him your sword to use. I want this arrogant guy to know how powerful I am!"

"No need!" When I was about to refuse, Mr. Zhang had already refused: "Anyway, it's a competition, just click until it's time!"

I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I actually longed to fight with people with swords, and I longed to experience the mystery of martial arts in life and death like in the game. The blood in my heart couldn’t help but boil.

"Let's start!" I looked at Li Xingjie's sword calmly and said, "This is really a good sword, the sword body is like a pool of autumn water. If such a sword is taken to ancient times, it will definitely be much better than any other Longquan. Unfortunately, such a master will only shame the sword.

Li Xingjie thought to himself: "I want to die? I will give you my help! If you kill your grandfather and others will come forward to settle this matter!" The murderous intent suddenly arose, and the sword in his hand brought three sword lights to kill Xu Fan's chest.

When I saw the opponent's sword move, I was shocked and saw three sword lights reaching my chest, like a wolf rushing towards me, but the speed was much slower. However, I didn't expect that I was a beat slower than in the game. However, I jumped up skillfully and twisted my lower body in the air. After a pain in my waist, I got the color? The wooden sword in my hand had accurately stabbed Li Xingjie in the throat.

Li Xingjie looked at the rapidly growing sword body. For some reason, when his sword was scratched rather than stabbed the other party, he wanted to withdraw the sword. Why couldn't he take it back? He looked at the sword's tip pierced in his throat, coughed and fell to the ground.

Mr. Zhang was very satisfied and took all the surprises of everyone, walked to Xu Fan and said, "I'm right. Your sword technique is sharp enough, but your body technique..., look, even though you miss the vital point, you will still be injured. Come and bandage it!"

I took the bandage gratefully and said, "Thank you for your concern, but my body is already familiar with this way of dodging. It seems that it will be difficult to correct it."

At this time, Li Xingjie rubbed his throat and stood up, looking at the back of the person who brought such a great shame to him. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. When did my eldest young master of the Li family have been so angry? He gritted his teeth and rushed forward. The long sword in his hand stabbed me in the back of everyone's exclamation.

As soon as I took the bandage, a strong sense of crisis suddenly came, just like a wolf stretching out its sharp claws to me from behind. I quickly turned to the right and a tearing pain came from my left shoulder. The wooden sword in my hand drew a semicircle and slashed the neck of the attacker.

"Beast!" Old Zhang angrily kicked Li Xingjie who fainted on the ground to Old Li: "Old Li, discipline your grandson well. If you don't change in the future, you will not step into the sword garden for half a step!"

Old Li's face changed a few times, and he helped Li Xingjie, who was kicked by Old Zhang, to the bench beside him, and he helped him to bleeding from his mouth and nose.

I supported my right hand and half-kneeled on the ground. Li Xingjie's sword was pressing against my shoulders and clavicles, piercing my shoulders. The blood flowed out soaked my white sportswear. I was so painful that I sweated coldly, and tears and snot were all handfuls. Looking at Mr. Zhang's concerned eyes, I squeezed out a difficult smile and said, "I... it's okay! It's a pity that my clothes are hard to wash blood and dirt... Haha..."

"Sword Garden won't let you have any trouble, this little injury is nothing!" Mr. Xu took out a porcelain bottle, poured out three pills that were fragrant, took it and told me to hold it in my mouth, "Have you bear it!" After that, he signaled Mr. Liu, who was behind me, to draw his sword.

The pill melts in your mouth, it is very fragrant and sweet. Why did Mr. Xu ask me to endure it?
