The only one sitting there was Jingwei, who was sent to assassinate Wei Wuji.
She had only been in Daliang for a short time, and during this time she was trying to get information about Wei Wuji and find a way to get close to him.
Ever since Wei Wuji joined forces to attack Qin and became famous throughout the world, the King of Wei had been extremely wary of him and thus stripped him of his military power.
Wei Wuji was therefore disheartened and no longer attended court to participate in state affairs. He indulged in wine and sex all day long.
Normally he would go to the largest singing and dancing house in Daliang every once in a while. Jingwei's original plan was to sneak in and then find an opportunity to kill Wei Wuji.
However, because Xuan Jian had assassinated too many ministers in Daliang recently, Wei Wuji hid in his mansion and dared not go out again.
"Have you contacted Xuan Jian?"
"No, we didn't see Master Xuan Jian at all."
A Luowang killer knelt on the ground and spoke tremblingly.
Jingwei frowned slightly. Xuan Jian was now showing signs of losing control.
Luo Wang had not contacted him for a long time since his last disappearance. Now he suddenly appeared in Daliang and assassinated the minister of Wei State.
All the circumstances indicate that Xuan Jian was working for others, but what he did was also beneficial to the State of Qin.
But this is not a reason for Xuan Jian to act recklessly. Luowang needs a sharp sword that will obey him.
When Jingwei thought of this, the words Bai Yuan said to her that day emerged in her mind.
"You are not a sword named Jingwei, but a complete person."
Jingwei stroked the scabbard, his mind feeling a little confused.
It must be because of the sensational sword technique that guy used on her, and she hasn't recovered yet.
Jingwei hinted to himself in his heart.
Tuk Tuk!
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.
The two Luowang killers immediately drew their weapons and walked behind the door.
"Who?"
"Ghosts and monsters."
Hearing the signal, the Luowang killers looked at each other, put away their weapons, opened the door and let him in.
As soon as the Luowang killer came in, he immediately reported to Jingwei the information he had just obtained.
"My lord, there is movement in Lord Xinling's residence!"
Upon hearing this, Jingwei nodded and signaled him to continue.
"I just received news that Lord Xinling seems to be planning to hold a banquet at his residence."
"Hold a banquet? Who should I invite?"
"We haven't found out who they are going to invite, but we can be sure that Lord Xinling attaches great importance to this banquet. For this banquet, he specially went to Baihua Pavilion to invite the best dancers to entertain them at the banquet. This is a good opportunity to get close to him!"
After hearing this, Jingwei narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
This was indeed an opportunity. As long as she replaced the dancer in Baihua Pavilion in advance, she could take the opportunity to enter Xinling Jun's mansion. As long as she could enter Xinling Jun's mansion, she would have the confidence to stay, find an opportunity to get close to Wei Wuji, and then kill him.
But this is not without cost.
In the past, as long as she could kill the target, she wouldn't care about the cost.
But this time, she hesitated.
"grown ups?"
The Luowang killer on the side saw that Jingwei didn't speak for a long time, and thought that he had done something wrong and made her unhappy.
Jingwei glanced at him coldly, then picked up his sword and left, leaving a group of Luowang killers looking at each other in bewilderment.
......
In the backyard of Xuanxin Pavilion, Bai Yuan was practicing sword with Wuming at this time.
These days, Bai Yuan refines a batch of pills every morning, and in the afternoon he seeks Wuming's guidance on swordsmanship.
Wuming, who already felt that he had taken advantage of Bai Yuan, naturally agreed, taught him carefully, and also used it as a demonstration.
Bai Yuan learned swordsmanship from Taoism, but he also has his own insights, and every move he makes is very casual and unrestrained.
Wuming also knew a lot about Taoist swordsmanship, and with his own superb swordsmanship, he was more than capable of instructing Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan is always the attacking party, while Wuming is the defending party.
But in fact, Bai Yuan has always been the one being suppressed.
Every attack of his, no matter how subtle or tricky, would be easily resolved by Wuming.
The nameless sword technique holding the Hanguang sword is unpredictable. Although it is mainly for defense, it still puts Bai Yuan in danger.
During this process, Wuming will intentionally or unintentionally help Bai Yuan correct his shortcomings when using the sword.
Bai Yuan was like a dried sponge, quickly absorbing what Wuming taught him, and his swordsmanship skills improved by leaps and bounds.
"Mr. Wuming, I happened to get a sword yesterday. Please try it!"
After a brief fight, Bai Yuan suddenly distanced himself and spoke seriously.
Wuming nodded, put his left hand behind his back, held the hilt of the Hanguang sword with his right hand, and was also looking forward to Bai Yuan's progress.
However, Lu, who was watching the battle on the side, had a strange expression on his face.
"Brother Bai Yuan, have you learned some strange sword moves?"
Thinking back to the day when Bai Yuan used the [Sensational Sword Technique], Lu couldn't help but feel a little scared.
However, seeing the extremely serious expressions on the faces of the two people on the field, Lu felt that Bai Yuan should not use that kind of swordsmanship in front of Wuming!
In the field, Bai Yuan held the Peach Blossom Sword in front of him and pointed his finger at the sword. A light blue sword energy rose up, like a gentle spring breeze.
Suddenly, a lot of tender green sprouts emerged from the soil under his feet, as if spring had really arrived.
Wuming's eyes narrowed, he felt that this was a bit interesting, and he increased his internal force output to the Hanguang Sword. He waved the sword lightly, and countless sword lights appeared behind him. It seemed that he was getting serious.
Bai Yuan's power became stronger and stronger, and finally reached a limit.
There was no sight of him making any movement, and in an instant he disappeared in a wisp of smoke.
This is the Taoist method of harmonizing with the world. When Bai Yuan activated it, there was not even any sign of warning, which showed that he had already mastered it to perfection.
When he appeared again, he was already on Wuming's left side.
But Wuming reacted very quickly. He immediately turned around and swung his sword, setting up a defense with the sword energy.
Dense sword shadows surrounded Bai Yuan, and the sword light was extremely bright.
After sparring with Wuming for many days, Bai Yuan was very familiar with some of Wuming's sword techniques. He closed his eyes in preparation and was not blinded by the sword light.
Relying on his own feeling, he thrust out a sword without hesitation. This sword broke the void with the real, just like a spring breeze melting away the winter snow. The sword energy laid down by Wuming not only failed to have a defensive effect, but instead increased the power of Bai Yuan's sword energy.
"Well done!"
Wuming was not surprised but happy when his defense was broken by Bai Yuan. He immediately changed his tactics and all the sword lights suddenly merged into one. The invisible sword became more solid.
When the two swords collided, sparks flew and the sword energy collided violently. Lu, who was watching the fight, couldn't help but be blown back a few steps by the air wave.
In the end, the powerful impact pushed the two men apart. Wuming couldn't help but take three steps back, while Bai Yuan took five steps back before stopping.
After returning to calm, there were several tiny cuts on the clothes of both men, which were obviously torn by the leaked sword energy.
However, both of them were restraining their strength, so only their clothes were torn.
Chapter 29 Make a Friend (sun)
This sword duel took place in an instant.
Wuming was slightly stunned when he saw the marks left by the sword on the ground.
Taking the place where the two men collided just now as the dividing line, almost all the sword marks were on his side, while there were only a few sword marks on Bai Yuan's side.
Although Wuming won the previous fight by relying on his strength, he lost this sword fight.
"In that sword strike just now, you returned almost all of your sword energy to me?"
"Unfortunately, it's still a little off."
Bai Yuan did not deny this, but he still felt sorry that this move was not perfect enough. He could only counterattack the sword energy, but could not return the opponent's power.
Wuming smiled and shook his head. Bai Yuan's move just now had already surprised him. If he didn't have a strong inner strength to protect his body, and the fact that the two of them were just sparring and controlling their strength, he would have been in a very bad state at this moment.
Wuming pointed at the sword mark on Bai Yuan's side and said, "Your speed of improvement really surprises me. That wasn't your full strength just now, was it?"
If Bai Yuan used all his strength, it would not be difficult for him to return all the sword energy.
After being pointed out by Wuming, Bai Yuan smiled a little embarrassedly.
"It's just a sparring match. I just want to verify the sword moves I learned yesterday."
"What's your name for this move?"
“The spring breeze brings warmth!”
Bai Yuan gave this move a more appropriate name.
This is a sword move that can send back both your own sword energy and the enemy's sword energy. Isn't it just giving people warmth?
Although Wuming didn't know the deep meaning of Bai Yuan's name, when he thought of the breath of spring contained in his sword just now, he thought that the name was not bad and nodded affirmatively.
"In the art of swordsmanship, you have already begun to find your own way. Given time, you may be able to surpass your senior brother Chisongzi and me, and reach the realm of unity between man and nature."
Wuming is not shooting in the dark. Bai Yuan is still so young, but he has already begun to comprehend his own swordsmanship.
In swordsmanship, his talent is even better than Chisongzi's.
However, there is one thing Wuming did not say. There is a prerequisite for Bai Yuan to reach the state of unity between man and nature, and that is that he specializes in swordsmanship.
The reason why we don't talk about it is because Taoists basically practice both Taoism and swordsmanship, and they value Taoism more than swordsmanship, with swordsmanship being auxiliary and Taoism being primary. It is difficult to separate swordsmanship from Taoism.
Of course he couldn't just say something that was not good for Taoism.
Hearing Wuming's praise, Bai Yuan waved his hand modestly.
The martial arts realm in this world can be roughly divided into four stages: acquired, innate, subtle, and unity of man and nature.
Those who cultivate internal Qi sink their Qi into their Dantian and use their internal force to open up the meridians throughout the body. This is the way they enter the innate state from the acquired. Those who cultivate external body must use Qi and blood to strengthen their muscles and bones, making the periosteum tough and the internal organs condensed. Only then can they be considered to have stepped into the innate state.
In the martial arts world, entering the innate realm is basically a sign of joining the ranks of first-class masters.
The subtle realm above the innate level requires not only strong and profound inner strength or physical support, but also requires sufficiently advanced technology in some aspect.
People like Wuming and Chisongzi are at this level. The former has reached a level in swordsmanship that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, while the latter is top-notch in both Taoism and swordsmanship.
Finally, this state of harmony between man and nature is a state close to Tao, and there are only a few people in the whole world who can reach it.
Bai Yuan is only at the innate realm at the moment, and is still some distance away from the subtle realm. Naturally, he will not be too ambitious and think about the unity of man and nature.
What's more, it's useless to think about it. The state of harmony between man and nature is too mysterious. The more you want to step into it, the more difficult it is to break through.
It was because of this reason that his senior brother Chisongzi became obsessed and got stuck in the realm of subtlety. After so many years, he was still a little bit away from entering the state of unity between man and nature.
With the lessons learned from the past, Bai Yuan adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards his realm. During this period, he sought advice from Wuming and learned step by step, improving his sword skills through exchanges.
After Wuming's instruction during this period, Bai Yuan now has confidence that if he meets Jingwei again one day, he will not have to use the [Sensational Sword Technique] anymore, and can subdue her with his own strength.
After the competition, Bai Yuan and Wuming were sweating a lot, so they went to wash up.
Bai Yuan had just changed his clothes and went out when he saw Lin He jogging towards him.
"My Lord, someone wants to see you."
"To see me? Who is it?"
After hearing Lin He's report, Bai Yuan was a little confused, because he didn't have many acquaintances in Daliang.
"The other party claims to be from Lord Xinling's residence."
"Lord Xinling's residence?"
At this time Wuming also came out, and frowned slightly when he heard the conversation between the two.
"Let's go and see it together!"
