Eternal Sword

Chapter 390: Get rid of inner demons
Chen Tang originally wanted to find out about Zhiwei's news.

But seeing that Shen Yuanlin had a bad impression of him, he didn't ask the question when it was on his lips.

Asking rashly might backfire and increase Shen Yuanlin's suspicion.

Since I'm staying in Langya Pavilion, I'll definitely have a chance to see him.

Cheng Lie brought Chen Tang and the other three to the northwest corner of Langya Pavilion and said apologetically, "All the people living here are servants of the pavilion. Fortunately, there are no people from the underworld here, so there is no need to worry about exposing your identity. I'll inconvenience you all to stay here for now."

"Good work."

Mei Zhenyu bowed and thanked him.

Two rooms were arranged for the four of them, one for Chen Tang and Mei Zhenyu, and one for Zhu Lingxue and A Li.

Silent all night.

The next morning, early in the sky, Mei Zhenyu just got up and saw that the other bed was empty.

When I opened the door, I saw Chen Tang practicing boxing in the yard, as if no one was around. I wonder how long he had been practicing.

"This brother Chen is really hardworking, no wonder he can cultivate his body to this level."

Mei Zhenyu was infected by this and took out a long sword from the room and started practicing in the yard.

Sparse shadows slant across, subtle fragrance floats in the air, plum blossoms play three tunes, looking at plum blossoms quenches thirst, plum blossoms fall like snow, green plums are boiled in wine, and they bloom alone in the cold...

Every move of the "Cold Plum Sword Technique" was performed in conjunction with the "Treading Snow to Find Plum Blossoms" step. The sword lights and human shadows intertwined, and the sword moves were continuous and exquisite.

After Chen Tang finished a set of boxing, he took a short break and watched from the side.

Mei Zhenyu didn't care.

For a sword technique like this, without the school's mental method, detailed explanation of the sword techniques, and breakdown and analysis of each move, you won't be able to learn it even if you see him practice it many times.

After a while, Mei Zhenyu put away his sword, stood up and exhaled.

"Good swordsmanship."

Chen Tang praised from the side.

"Brother Chen, thank you for your compliment."

Mei Zhenyu shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "After our sect moved south to Wuzhou, it gradually declined. Although this sword technique is exquisite, it is difficult for disciples within the sect to display its true charm and essence."

"Oh, why is that?"

Chen Tang asked.

Mei Zhenyu explained: "The Plum Blossom Sword School was originally located in Pingzhou in the northern part of Shenzhou. It is freezing cold there, and the climate is cold. The essence of our swordsmanship can only be comprehended in a severely cold place."

"For example, if the "Cold Plum Sword Art" is practiced to perfection, the sword energy is like frost, and each move contains the tenacity and pride of the winter plum. The sword intent is as cold and profound as the fragrance of plum, but it also reveals a kind of lonely and unique charm."

"It's a pity that in Wuzhou, the climate is warm and it rarely snows. Without the special environment of Pingzhou, the disciples in the sect are unable to perceive the charm conveyed by the "Cold Plum Sword Art"."

Chen Tang nodded.

He is from Pingzhou. According to Mei Zhenyu, that kind of environment is indeed more suitable for practicing this sword technique.

Mei Zhenyu sighed and said, "I have been practicing this set of "Cold Plum Sword Technique" since I was a child. Among the younger generation of the sect, I am already a leader, but I only have one or two moves that have reached the level of 'mastering its changes'."

Chen Tang broke off a branch nearby, held it in his hand, closed his eyes, calmed his breath and concentrated his mind. In a trance, he seemed to be back to the top of the snow-capped mountains outside Changze County.

The next moment, Chen Tang's mind moved, and he used the move "Ling Han Du Fang" that Mei Zhenyu had just practiced.

Mei Zhenyu suddenly felt a chill and shivered, looking over subconsciously.

Chen Tang was seen standing tall, holding a branch in his hand, which looked like a long, cold sword.

The tip of the sword lightly touched the ground. Although there was nothing on the ground, it seemed to stir up a circle of fine ice crystals. The sword broke through the ground and went up, just like the first buds of a plum tree blooming in the severe winter, full of vitality!

hiss!
Mei Zhenyu took a breath and looked horrified.

What Chen Tang held in his hand was clearly just an ordinary branch, but the swordsmanship he displayed was many times more advanced than his!
Moreover, the sword just now actually gave off a chill, as if ice crystals were emerging. This was a symbol of the "Ling Han Du Fang" style reaching the divine realm!

How is it possible? Mei Zhenyu was stunned, looking at Chen Tang as if she had seen a ghost!

"You, you, are you a senior of our sect?"

Mei Zhenyu asked stumblingly.

He even suspected that Chen Tang was a hidden master of the Plum Blossom Sword Sect, who had practiced some technique to achieve rejuvenation.

If not, how could one explain that with just a casual move of his, he could perform a sword move that was close to divine level!
"I stayed in Pingzhou for a while."

Chen Tang laughed dumbly and said, "So, I have a deep impression of your swordsmanship."

He not only stayed in Pingzhou.

Moreover, he practiced with the Martial Emperor on the top of the snow-capped mountains of the Three Thousand Snow Ridges for several months. He had deeply experienced the harsh environment of that kind of cold weather and could put himself in the shoes of the Emperor at any time.

"But, but if you are not from our sect, how can you know the "Cold Plum Sword Technique"? "

Mei Zhenyu still couldn't believe it.

Chen Tang said, "I saw you practice it just now, so I tried it."

Mei Zhenyu: “…”

Does this work too?
The main reason why Chen Tang was able to do this was because he opened the Niwan Palace, entered into a state of trance, and had perceptions comparable to those of a master.

Even if Mei Zhenyu only practiced the sword moves once, he would be able to remember most of them.

But to Mei Zhenyu, this was simply a fantasy.

Is there really someone in this world whose talent can reach such a terrifying level?
After all, Mei Zhenyu has been on the list of the hottest names. Although he is at the bottom, he can be regarded as a leader among the younger generation.

But now, he found that after more than ten years of hard training, he was still not as good as the other party's casual sword strike of a branch he broke off.

This is such a huge blow!

Seeing that Mei Zhenyu was distraught and at a loss, Chen Tang guessed that he probably had some mental demons.

If it cannot be broken, there will be endless troubles.

Thinking of this, Chen Tang reminded: "Since you already know how to better practice our swordsmanship, why are you trapped here and not looking for a chance to go to Pingzhou?"

"Heading to Pingzhou..."

Mei Zhenyu murmured softly, and the confusion in her eyes gradually dissipated, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.

Yes.

The road that belongs to him has long been before him.

But he didn't leave for a long time.

He had never even thought of it.

Is Pingzhou far away?

Of course it is very far away, almost in the northernmost part of Shenzhou, and it belongs to Qian Kingdom. There must be many dangers along the way.

But if not, how can we sharpen the sharpest sword!

Baojianfeng comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold.

This is the essence of the Plum Blossom Sword School's mind and swordsmanship!
At this moment, Mei Zhenyu's mind suddenly became clear.

The Jianghu is not just Daxia.

There is also Qian Kingdom, the Far North Cold Region, and even the entire world!

At this moment, Mei Zhenyu not only broke through his own inner demons, but also opened his eyes. His heart seemed to cross the Xia River and fly to the world of snow and ice!
"Brother Chen, thank you for your advice."

Mei Zhenyu took a half step back and bowed deeply and respectfully towards Chen Tang, performing the etiquette of a disciple, and said, "I will definitely remember this great favor in my heart."
