I come to see Bai Yujing today

Chapter 34: The General Swordsman The Warrior Carved on the Ninth Monument

March 4th, the 23rd year of Dazhi, today is a good day for burials, sacrifices, slaughtering animals, and crying in the dark!
There was no spring rain that day, but the sky was covered with dark clouds, even blocking the midday sun.

The entire sky looked gray, making the north gate of Sunan Prefecture seem somewhat gloomy.

General Xuan Zi Li Bodu walked side by side with his hands behind his back and a swordsman wearing an ivory-white brocade robe and a gauze hat.

Li Bodu is a fierce tiger in Xuantianjing, tall and majestic, with a powerful spirit, just like a mountain.

The swordsman walking with him was thin and only six feet five inches tall. He could be considered an average man, not tall and brave.

But this skinny swordsman, walking together with the tall Li Bodu, had a calm and relaxed demeanor, not inferior to Li Bodu at all.

Especially the long sword worn on the swordsman's waist. The scabbard is white and has no pendants. It looks like just an ordinary long sword.

But when the spring breeze blows, the scabbard easily unfolds the spring breeze, cuts it into thousands of pieces, and lets the spring breeze scatter.

This scabbard alone... is a rare treasure.

"The martial spirit of Sunan Prefecture is a little weak, but it is a prosperous place, with willow trees, painted boats, green curtains, and millions of families... It would be a pity if such a prosperous place had a natural disaster."

Li Bodu spoke in a steady voice, looking up at the majestic and towering mountain outside Sunan Prefecture.

The mountain looks like a crouching tiger, so it was named Tiger Hill by our ancestors.

Tiger Hill winds around southern Jiangsu and is one of the most magnificent landscapes in the entire Suzhou and Wuzhou.

But now, in Li Bodu's eyes, this mountain is a great harm to Sunan Prefecture.

"If Tiger Hill collapses and crashes into the Qingshui River, the Qingshui River will burst its banks and millions of acres of fertile farmland will be destroyed. I'm afraid Sunan Prefecture will not be able to escape this great disaster. I'm leading 90,000 Songhuai troops here to stop this."

Li Bodu looked solemn.

He and the swordsman walked slowly through the downtown area, past the buildings that lined the streets, but the people on the street seemed to be completely unable to see them.

The swordsman who was wearing a hat and hiding his face finally spoke.

"General Xuan Zi is actually worrying too much. Gong Longsu is a true warrior. His shoulders are strong enough to carry two great rivers, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas. He has a heart as big as the moon in his arms. He came to Sunan Prefecture just to heal his wounds. How could he cause Tiger Hill to collapse into the Qingshui River?"

The swordsman's voice sounded hazy and unclear, but every word was audible to Li Bodu.

Li Bo shook his head: "Everyone in the world knows that Gong Longsu practiced martial arts and became possessed. Everyone in the world also knows that Gong Longsu wanted to take the magic stone from Daluo Mountain, and he was seriously injured because of it. Now he is facing a big battle with the Five Thunder Lords of Luofu Sea.

Now he is refining spirit veins everywhere... and has already refined four mountains and two rivers.

If he didn't come to Sunan Prefecture for Tiger Hill, then why did he come?"

The swordsman did not agree with Li Bodu's words: "Even if Gong Longsu refined the spiritual veins, he only refined the spiritual veins in places where few people go. Even if he went astray, he never killed the lives of ordinary people.

He has loved martial arts all his life, but he is not the kind of person who would do anything to improve himself. Otherwise, he would not have been so brave and diligent in martial arts."

The swordsman in the precious brocade robe said this and then changed the subject, saying: "I think the Great Yu court also knows that Gong Longsu will not refine the spiritual vein of Tiger Hill, otherwise it would not be General Xuan Zi who led the 90,000 Songhuai Army to Sunan Prefecture, but it should be Great Yu Kuixing who came in person.

Excuse me for being blunt... In such a huge country like Dayu, the only person who could stop the person whose name was engraved on the ninth stele was Dayu Kuixing." Hearing this, General Xuan Zi could not help but frown.

"Gong Longsu was seriously injured. I have 90,000 Songhuai soldiers. If we form a military formation, we will be very powerful... And the reason why I came to find you is to ask you to draw your sword and defend Tiger Hill with me, which can also be regarded as protecting the millions of people in Sunan Prefecture."

The swordsman's face was hidden by his cloak, and his figure was also concealed by his long, wide robe. It was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman, and naturally his face could not be seen clearly.

But his voice came from the void: "I came to Sunan Prefecture only to ask for a sword. The people of Sunan Prefecture have nothing to do with me. General Xuan Zi...Excuse me for being blunt, Gong Longsu should not refine the spiritual veins of Tiger Hill, but if he really has this idea, even if he is seriously injured, I advise you to take your 90,000 Songhuai troops and retreat a hundred miles, don't make him unhappy."

Li Bo was silent.

Before they knew it, the two had walked to a tall pavilion, from where they could see the north gate of Sunan Prefecture from afar and see people coming and going on the street.

"In the past, the swordsman who flew into the air and startled the old dragon from his sleep in the Bitan Lake, didn't he have the courage to draw his sword?" Li Bodu suddenly asked.

The swordsman pressed down the brim of his hat and turned around.

Even with the veil covering him, Li Bodu still felt a cold gaze falling on him, which made him feel even colder.

"Gong Longsu is so strong that he can move mountains and rivers, and he has the power to overthrow the world. He once held a long spear and rebuked the Lord of Five Thunders! He carved the word 'break' on the ninth stele under the Dao, and he wanted to break all the laws of the world with martial arts. I don't want to draw my sword against such a person.

General Li, you have been in Xuan Tianjing for a long time. The long period of comfort makes you feel that the world is just a big Yu, but... the world is the world of seven countries and hundreds of sects. I know that you have obtained the opportunity of the dragon vein, but you have never refined the opportunity. This opportunity is ultimately just a bubble. I advise you not to die on the road of refining the opportunity. "

Li Bodu lowered his head to think, and raised his head after a few breaths. With some stubbornness in his eyes, he said, "Tiger Hill is the Tiger Hill of Dayu! If Gong Longsu steps on Tiger Hill, I will definitely cut him with my sword. Only in this way can I live up to my name of General Xuan Zi and the Chihu Tian Gong."

The cold light in the swordsman's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he nodded: "Everyone says that you are not as good as Si Yuanzhen, but I think that you are not much worse than Si Yuanzhen. General Xuan Zi, I will wait quietly at the foot of Tiger Hill to see how you can draw your sword against Gong Longsu if he really comes to Tiger Hill!"

The two stood on the pavilion of a tall building and looked into the distance.

At this time, people gradually gathered at the Fengbo Tower at the North Gate, many of them talking loudly...

It actually aroused the interest of the swordsman.

"Sunan Prefecture hasn't abolished the death fight yet?" The swordsman said, "Prime Minister Song once said that a death fight is against the law. Not only does it rely on strength to fight ruthlessly, but there are also many reasons for killing people in this death fight... I never thought that Sunan Prefecture, a wealthy place, would still have a death fight."

As the swordsman spoke, Li Bodu also looked up.

His gaze passed through the rolling crowds, through the many buildings in Sunan Prefecture, and fell on the Fengbo Terrace.

He saw Si Hougui coming in a sedan chair with a playful smile on his face and a folding fan in his hand.

It was seen that many young masters and even family heads of wealthy families in Sunan Prefecture had already come to several restaurants in front of Fengbotai.

He also heard many people talking about it.

"To nourish the Qi and fight the true essence to death?"

Li Bodu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Chen Zhian?"
