When Bald Pen Master saw this scene, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. He stood up suddenly, and the Judge's Pen in his hand quickly turned into a pen flower in his palm, and shouted: "What a great Taishan swordsmanship! Look at my set of "Stomachache Post"!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the tip of the judge's pen in his hand trembled slightly, and suddenly three cold rays of light burst out. They were the three words "suddenly I felt a stomachache" which opened the "Stomachache Post". The pen tip was sharp yet agile.

Yi Huawei held the bronze sword across his chest, with the blade slightly tilted. The bronze sword spine faintly reflected the trajectory of the judge's pen. The pen tip turned and swept like a halberd splitting the air, and stabbed like a silver hook hanging upside down, showing its fierce momentum.

"The first move is 'Writing Poems with a Spear in Hand'!"

Bald Pen Master's deep shout rang out in the room. As he shouted, the Judge's Pen in his hand suddenly turned into a 10-foot-long snake spear and thrust out horizontally, with the tip of the pen pointing at Yi Huawei's chest.

Yi Huawei's eyes were as fast as lightning, and he swung his sword in an unconventional way. With a move called "Cloud Sea Jade Plate", he slashed at the seven-inch part of the Judge's Pen. The bronze sword flashed a cold light in the air and went straight to the target.

However, Bald Pen Weng was no ordinary person. Just as Yi Huawei's sword was about to touch the pen, the judge's pen suddenly turned upside down in mid-air, and the brush hair instantly spread out like wolf hair. Then, Bald Pen Weng shook his wrist slightly, and actually wrote the seal character "kill" on Yi Huawei's bronze sword. With the appearance of the seal character, the bronze sword suddenly became extremely heavy, as if it weighed a thousand pounds, and Yi Huawei's sword moves also became stagnant, as if he was stuck in a quagmire, and it was difficult to move forward.

Black and White sat at the side, stroking the chessboard, and whispered to himself, "Third brother's skill of 'using calligraphy to practice martial arts' has probably incorporated the calligraphy style of the stele in 'General Pei's Poems' into the Judge's calligraphy style."

His voice was not loud, but it was just loud enough for everyone present to hear. Before he finished speaking, the Judge's Pen in Bald Pen Manor's hand launched another attack, transforming into the second style "Iron Painting and Silver Hook". Sparks flew on the bluestone ground as the tip of the pen passed, leaving deep grooves.

Yi Huawei retreated seven steps in a row to avoid the sharp sword. While retreating, he kept his eyes fixed on Bald Pen Master's Judge's Brush. Just when Bald Pen Master's brush was at its strongest, Yi Huawei's sword tip suddenly moved and went straight to the "hook" where the brush was at its strongest.

"Zheng!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out instantly, and the sound shook the dust on the beams to fall. Tu Bi Weng felt a numbness in his palms, and was shocked. He didn't expect the opponent's sword power to be so strong, like a mountain pressing down on his head, making him a little difficult to bear.

Although Bald Pen Master was shocked, he did not panic. He quickly changed his moves and used the "Eight Methods of Yong". The judge's pen made a series of dot, horizontal, vertical and hook strokes, each of which was connected like flowing water.

Yi Huawei's eyes were full of brilliance, and he did not dare to be careless. The Taishan "Eighteen Bends" sword technique was launched in response to the situation. The sword path was like an ancient mountain climbing path, with nine twists and eighteen turns. Every turn was just right, and he always cut off the momentum of Bald Pen Master's pen when it was about to be completed.

The two men's moves kept changing, back and forth, fiercely. When the sword turned to the eighteenth turn, Tubi Weng suddenly let out a long whistle, and with a fierce wave of the judge's pen in his hand, he wrote Zhang Xu's cursive script like splashing ink.

As the brush passed, sword energy spread out in all directions, condensing in the air into seven large ink characters: "Sword energy spreads out over thirty thousand miles."

Seeing this, Yi Huawei did not retreat, but advanced instead. The bronze sword in his hand suddenly turned into the "Ji Taishan Inscription" on the cliff stone of Mount Tai, and the move "How is Taizong" directly took the last stroke of the word "li" in the cursive script, which was cut off by the spirit.

"Crack!" With a crisp sound, the red sandalwood pen shaft broke. Bald Pen Master felt his hand lighten, and his body stumbled back a few steps involuntarily. He stared blankly at the half-broken Judge's Pen in his hand, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.

The broken end was exactly the last vertical stroke of the word "里" in Zhang Xu's original post. This detail made him feel a complicated emotion.

The tip of Yi Huawei's sword trembled slightly, and the pen shaft that was broken into eighteen pieces on the ground automatically spelled out the four words "Ganbaixiefeng". These four words were the official script of the Diamond Sutra in Jingshiyu, Mount Tai.

"What a great 'Happy Three' move!"

Hei Baizi suddenly slammed his hands on the table and exclaimed in admiration, "The three most dangerous sections of the Taishan Mountain climbing trail are transformed into three linked swords, which is in line with the wave-like brushwork of the Zhang Qian Stele. How wonderful!"

In the excitement, the black iron chessboard in his hand was covered with cracks without him noticing, which was obviously caused by his subconscious use of energy while watching the game.

Dan Qingsheng was originally sitting on the side, holding a wine bowl in his hand, but he suddenly smashed the bowl and shouted, "How could Third Brother lose to Taishan Swordsmanship? It must be that kid..."

The words stopped abruptly because he saw that the old man was staring at the words written by the broken pen on the ground, and tears welled up in his cloudy old eyes.

Tu Bi Weng muttered to himself, "Twenty-three years... since my master passed away, no one has been able to decipher my "General Pei's Letter"..."

There was a sense of vicissitudes and emotion in the voice, as if recalling the past years.

At this moment, Xiang Wentian coughed lightly at the right time, breaking the slightly solemn atmosphere: "Second Manor Master, it's your turn."

As he finished speaking, the curtains in the northeast corner moved without wind, and the faint sound of trembling strings of a musical instrument could be heard.

Yi Huawei raised his eyebrows, thinking that the person playing the piano outside the house was the owner of the manor, Huang Zhonggong.

"Brother Yi's swordsmanship is indeed superb. Okay! Then let me learn from Brother Yi's swordsmanship."

The black and white chess pieces looked directly at Yi Huawei. As soon as he finished speaking, the black iron chessboard in his hand suddenly exerted force, and a cold aura covered the air.

The nine-square grid pattern on the black iron chessboard instantly oozed out wisps of ice crystals, and the coldness immediately spread.

Yi Huawei looked calm and unhurried. He thrust out the long sword in his hand diagonally, and the tip of the sword tapped the "Tianyuan" position of the chessboard three times. During these taps, the icy spirit condensed by the Xuantian finger spread rapidly along the sword body like an invisible cold snake, directly invading Yi Huawei's hand Taiyin lung meridian. Yi Huawei only felt a chill coming from his arm, and he was secretly alert.

"There are pine trees on Mount Tai, and they are called Five Doctors."

Yi Huawei suddenly recited an ancient poem in a clear voice. As the ancient poem came out, the sword's momentum suddenly changed, becoming vigorous and powerful. When the sword passed through the ice crystal, it trembled slightly, like a nimble finger, carving pine needle patterns on the ice. This is exactly the "Twisted Branches Hanging in Snow" style of the "Five Great Doctors Sword".

Seeing this, the black and white pieces' pupils shrank slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes. They quickly turned the chessboard in their hands, and eighteen ice chess pieces shot out. The trajectory of each chess piece was in line with the killer move of "three-six invasion points" in Go.

The ice chess piece drew cold arcs in the air, with a fierce momentum, and headed straight for Yi Huawei.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The bronze sword in Yi Huawei's hand instantly danced with a ball of green light, and the sword shadow flickered. He precisely controlled the trajectory of the sword, and each ice chess piece was hit by the sword spine. With a series of crisp collision sounds, the ice crystals burst and ice chips flew everywhere.

Dan Qingsheng suddenly exclaimed: "Where the ice chess pieces landed... is the pattern of "Kuaixue Shiqing Tie"!"

When everyone looked closely, they saw that the broken ice on the ground was refracting the sunlight, casting the afterimage of Wang Xizhi's original work on the bluestone ground. The charm of the handwriting seemed to be looming in the ice light.

Hei Baizi put two fingers of his left hand together, and the Xuantian finger force was condensed again, forming a three-foot ice blade. With sharp eyes, he looked directly at Yi Huawei and said, "Young Master Yi, what do you think of this move 'Xuanbing Jie'?"

As he finished speaking, the temperature in the sword room dropped sharply, and a chill seemed to freeze the air. As the ice blade passed, it actually drew 19 ice lines in the air, turning the entire space into a huge chessboard. Yi Huawei was in it, and suddenly felt as if his limbs were falling into an ice cellar, and even his eyelashes were covered with white frost.

"How is Mr. Tai?"

Yi Huawei let out a long howl, and the sound resounded throughout the sword room. Following this long howl, his sword moves suddenly changed. The bronze sword swung out from bottom to top, and the sparks from the tip of the sword burned the patterns of the "Eighteen Bends" ancient road on the ice net.

This was the long-lost "Shi Gan Dang" formation-breaking style of the Taishan School. Legend has it that the Bixia Yuanjun Temple priest once used this sword technique to break the Khitan glacier formation. As soon as the sword move was made, a powerful aura spread out, as if it could break through the cold confinement.

At the moment when the ice net shattered, Hei Baizi attacked with both palms, muttering something. The broken ice crystals suddenly condensed again and turned into eight ice mirrors. Yi Huawei's figure was clearly reflected in each ice mirror, and the illusions in the mirrors each used different sword moves to attack Yi Huawei.

This is actually the Go game of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" which is a form of illusion that is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, making it hard to guard against.

Xiang Wentian had been paying close attention to the battle situation. Seeing this, his heart tightened and the wine glass in his hand suddenly exploded.

Seeing this, Yi Huawei closed his eyes and lowered his sword, his ears trembling slightly. He concentrated his mind and tried to hear through the illusion of seven false and one real with his keen hearing. After a moment, he found the flaw. The bronze sword suddenly stabbed at the ice mirror in the northeast corner. The sword body was wrapped with sparks, like a meteor, piercing through the mirror.

The tip of the sword accurately hit the "three or four" position on the black iron chessboard hidden in the middle. This "Sun Viewing Morning Light" implies the essence of Dugu Nine Swords "Breaking Arrow Style", but it is performed with the sword intent of the sea of ​​clouds on the Taishan Sun Viewing Terrace, and the sword moves are exquisite.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the black iron chessboard broke into two halves. When one half fell, it was lifted up by the sword energy and embedded into the beam, carving the two characters "Zhongzheng".

The writing style of these two characters is exactly the same as that of the remaining stele of the Diamond Sutra that was destroyed by lightning in Jingshiyu of Mount Tai. It is simple and majestic.

Hei Baizi was hit so hard that he retreated seven steps, his face pale. The backlash of the black ice finger force turned his beard and eyebrows completely white, and he asked in a trembling voice: "This sword... is it in line with the wonderful square strokes of the "Zheng Wengong Stele"?"

Yi Huawei put the sword back into its sheath. At this moment, icicles from the eaves began to drip and formed a "stop war" hexagram in front of his feet.

Suddenly, the sound of silk tearing was heard from behind the curtain in the northeast corner. All seven strings broke, and the sound was as sharp as the cry of a crane. However, Yi Huawei's sword tassel moved without wind, skillfully directing the last sound wave to the bronze crane incense burner. The green smoke in the incense burner condensed into the two words "Cheng Rang" in the inscription of a bell.

Dan Qingsheng had been holding the wine jar tightly in his hand, but it fell to the ground with a thud, and the Western Region wine flowed on the ice like a bloody trail. Staring at the "Stop War" hexagram reflected on the ice, he suddenly laughed and said, "Second brother's Xuantian Finger actually melted so much ice, saving the ice cellar for the wine!"

Yi Huawei took two steps back, stood still, bowed slightly, with a humble look on his face, and said, "Excuse me!"

Dan Qingsheng turned to look at the black and white pieces and said, "Second brother, your chess pieces' hidden weapons are unique in the martial arts world. No one can stop you when you shoot out 361 black and white pieces. Why don't you try Brother Yi's skills in breaking hidden weapons?"

Hei Baizi's heart moved, and he subconsciously looked at Xiang Wentian. Seeing him nod slightly, he turned his head to look at Yi Huawei, only to see that Yi Huawei looked calm and showed no emotion at all.

Hei Baizi thought to himself, "This man's swordsmanship is extremely advanced. In this world, I'm afraid only that man can defeat him. Seeing that they look fearless, I will use hidden weapons again, but it seems that I will only make a fool of myself once more."

Thinking of this, he slowly shook his head, forced a smile on his face, and said:

"Since I've already admitted defeat, why would I bother competing with hidden weapons? It would only make me laugh! Hahahaha~"

Tu Bi Weng was just thinking about Zhang Xu's "Rui Yi Tie". He quickly walked to Xiang Wentian, clasped his hands together, and begged, "Brother Tong, please let me see the letter again."

Xiang Wentian had a smile on his face and said slowly, "Once the Great Manor Master defeats my brother, this post will belong to the Third Manor Master. You can take it even if you want to read it for three days and three nights."

When Tu Bi Weng heard this, his eyes widened even more: "I watched it for seven days and seven nights!"

Xiang Wentian responded without hesitation: "Okay, then watch it for seven days and seven nights."

Tu Bi Weng was itching to scratch his head, so he paced back and forth. After a while, he walked over to Hei Bai Zi and asked quietly, "Second brother, can I ask my eldest brother to help me?"

Heibaizi thought for a moment, then said, "You two stay here to entertain the guests, I'll go talk to eldest brother." After saying that, he turned and walked out.

When Dan Qingsheng saw Heibaizi leave, he turned to look at Yi Huawei and said with a smile, "Brother Yi, let's drink. Alas, a lot of this jar of wine has been wasted by my third brother." As he spoke, he picked up the wine jug and poured the wine into the cup with skillful movements.

When Bald Pen Master heard this, he immediately said angrily, "What do you mean by wasted? The wine you drink goes into your stomach and turns into urine and shits out. How can it compare to the calligraphy I left on the wall, which will be immortal forever? Wine is passed down through calligraphy. Thousands of years later, when someone sees my calligraphy, they will know that there was a jar of Turpan red wine like yours in the world."

Dan Qingsheng raised his glass, pointed to the wall, and said half-jokingly: "Wall, wall, you are lucky to be able to taste the fine wine brewed by the Fourth Master. Even if my Third Brother didn't write on your face, you...you...you will be immortal."

Yi Huawei looked at this scene and couldn't help but laugh: "What you said is very true, senior. I am very lucky to be able to taste such a rare wine throughout the ages." As he said that, he raised the glass and drank the wine in one gulp.

Xiang Wentian drank two cups with them, and then stopped drinking. However, Dan Qingsheng and Yi Huawei drank until the cups were empty, and the more they drank, the more excited they became. They drank one cup after another, and each of them drank 17 or 18 cups.

At this time, Hei Baizi finally came out, looked at Yi Huawei, and said, "Brother Yi, my eldest brother invites you, please move over. Brother Tong, how about having a few more drinks here?"

Xiang Wentian was startled, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, and then he said, "This..."

Seeing that Hei Baizi had no intention of inviting him to go with him, he thought to himself, should he go with him? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "It is a lifelong regret that I have no chance to meet the master of the manor."

Seeing this, Hei Baizi explained, "Brother Tong, please don't be offended. My elder brother has been living in seclusion for a long time and has never seen outsiders. It's just that I heard that Brother Yi is an excellent swordsman and admired him, so I invited him to meet. I would never dare to be disrespectful to Brother Tong."

Xiang Wentian said: "How dare I, how dare I."

"please!"

Yi Huawei put down his wine glass, stood up, straightened his clothes, and followed the black and white pieces out of the chess room.

The two walked through a corridor, with some paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor, looming in the dim light. Soon they came to a moon cave door.

The words "Qin Xin" were inscribed on the lintel of the moon-shaped gate, made of blue glazed tiles with vigorous strokes. Yi Huawei guessed that this was probably written by Tu Bi Weng.

After passing the Moon Cave Gate, there is a quiet flower path with straight bamboos on both sides, and the bamboo leaves swaying gently in the breeze. The pebbles on the flower path are covered with moss, and it is obvious that few people walk on it. Yi Huawei followed Hei Baizi along the flower path, and the sound of his footsteps seemed particularly clear in this quiet environment.

At the end of the flower path were three stone houses. In front of and behind the houses were seven or eight pine trees, with crooked branches standing tall and shady, casting a shadow over the surroundings. Hei Baizi walked to the stone house, gently pushed open the door, and whispered, "Come in."

As soon as Yi Huawei entered the room, he smelled a faint scent of sandalwood, lingering in the air. Hei Baizi said to the inner room, "Brother, Young Master Yi from the Taishan Sect is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man walked out of the inner room.

The old man was thin, dressed in a plain robe, and walked steadily. He walked up to Yi Huawei and said, "Young Master Feng, I am sorry that I was not able to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me."
