Chapter 42 Dugu Sword Tomb
The group passed through Xiangyang. Along the way, Li Liuyan carried her heavy sword in the day and practiced hard according to the principle of "A heavy sword without a sharp edge, great skill without workmanship". At night, she would insist on sleeping on the rope and practice hard.
When they were about to reach Xiangyang, Li Liuyan said,"Let's not go to Xiangyang first. Let's go to the sword tomb to visit Senior Dugu Qiubai."]
Guo Xiang asked curiously,"Why didn't I know there were strange people around Xiangyang?"]
Li Liuyan said,[Senior Dugu is a person from at least a hundred years ago. This heavy sword belonged to him back then. Brother Yang and I were talking about his Nine Swords of Solitude. His kung fu and the heavy sword's principles are completely opposite. One focuses on strength, while the other focuses on technique.] So I asked Brother Yang where the sword tomb was, hoping to find some clues.] There was another reason that Li Liu Yan didn't mention, which was that she had eaten the Qu Pu Si Snake's gallbladder, which could greatly increase her internal strength.
Li Liuyan prayed in her heart, Brother Snake, Brother Snake, as the saying goes, a man is innocent, but a man who holds a treasure will be punished. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being so bold. [Ah, rice tofu!]
Seeing that it was a new martial art, everyone was very interested and followed Li Liuyan to find the sword tomb.
After a few twists and turns, the group walked through the mountain rocks and grass for half a day. After passing through a valley, they finally arrived in front of a stone cave. Li Liuyan pointed and said, This cave is where Senior Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai is buried.] Then, the four of them entered the cave.
The cave was very shallow. They reached the end of the cave within thirty feet. There was nothing else in the stone room except for a stone table and a stone chair. There was a high pile of rocks in the left corner of the cave. It was probably the tomb that the divine condor had built for Dugu Qiubai.
Cheng Ying took out the torch she had prepared and lit it up, illuminating the cave. Guo Xiang saw that there was a place on the wall where the moss was lighter than the other places, and there were some faint words. Guo Xiang walked forward and wiped the moss away. As expected, he saw three lines of small words on the wall. Guo Xiang read out loud,[He has been in Jianghu for more than 30 years. He has killed all the enemies and villains, defeated all the heroes and heroes. There is no one in the world who can resist him. There is nothing he can do. He can only live in seclusion in the deep valley and take the eagle as his friend.] Alas, life to find a rival but can not get, really lonely and embarrassed. Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai.]
Lu Wushuang read it twice and said,"[Defeating all the heroes and heroes, but finding no one to fight against, this…this is too exaggerated.] He was a little unconvinced and said,"As the saying goes, there's always someone better than you. Can you really say that you're the best in the world?"]
Cheng Ying said,"Senior Dugu only said that he hasn't met a worthy opponent, but he doesn't mean that he's the best in the world."] Li Liuyan asked everyone to search the cave to see if there were any clues, but they couldn't find anything. Li Liuyan thought,[Is the [Nine Beyond the Swords] sword manual under this pile of rocks, or did Senior Dugu not leave any manuscripts?]
Guo Xiang said,"There's nothing to see here."]
Li Liuyan said,"There's another place that isn't here. Follow me."]
He brought the three women out and saw a stone platform on the cliff in front of him. From afar, he could see the two words [Sword Tomb] on it.
Li Liuyan walked to the edge of the cliff and said,"[Do you see the moss every ten feet? Those are all small caves that are the stairs to go up. Be careful when you go up.] Li Liuyan saw that it was inconvenient to carry the heavy sword, so she hid it in the grass nearby. She gathered her breath and dashed to the first cave. She pulled the stone wall with her left hand and used force to jump to the second place. She did not stop at all and used twenty times to reach the platform.
Guo Xiang cheered loudly when he saw Li Liuyan go up in one breath. Li Liuyan looked down and saw that the three girls had become small dots.[This height is 70 stories high in the original world. If I tell others that I can fly so high in one breath, they will definitely think I'm crazy.] Li Liuyan felt a little proud of herself for achieving such results in just a year.
A moment later, the three women also came up. Guo Xiang was the coolie and read,[Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai is invincible in the world, so he buried his sword here. Whoosh! Isn't it sad that the heroes bow their heads and their swords are empty?]
These two lines of small words were written next to the two large words [Sword Tomb] on the wall. Li Liuyan saw that the handwriting was more like cursive, and she couldn't help but think of a figure holding a sharp sword and writing on the wall. She sighed,[Let's not talk about Senior Gudu's martial arts, just the good handwriting on the wall is not something I can compare to.]
Lu Wushuang chuckled," Aren't you ashamed to say that? You started writing like a chicken crawling. It took you a year of practice before you could write it neatly. It's so different from this."]
Li Liuyan blushed and said,"Wushuang, can you stop trying to ruin my reputation and give me some face?" [Okay?]
Lu Wushuang said,"If you were more honest and didn't always brag, who would be able to find faults in your words?"]
Li Liuyan had no choice but to say,"Let's not consider this problem. Let's first see Senior Dugu's martial arts realm."]
He quickly arranged the four stone slabs on the high platform with Cheng Ying, and Guo Xiang read out in turn,[Sharp and fierce, invincible. He fought with the heroes of Heshuo before he became a teenager.
Crape myrtle soft sword, used before the age of 30, accidentally injured the righteous people unlucky, regret endless, so abandoned in the deep valley.
The heavy sword has no edge, and the skill is not good. Forty years ago, he relied on him to run amok in the world.
After forty years of age, he could not be restrained by other things, and could make swords out of vegetation, bamboo and stone. From then on, he cultivated and gradually reached the realm of winning without a sword.]
After he finished reading, Guo Xiang's face revealed a look of admiration. If only I could see Senior Dugu's elegant demeanor with my own eyes.]
Li Liuyan laughed inwardly. Guo Xiang's habit of wanting to get to know heroes and heroes as soon as he met them had not changed.
Guo Xiang turned his head and asked Li Liuyan,"Brother Li, do you know about Dugu Qiubai's life?"] Guo Xiang was used to Li Liuyan's knowledge of secrets.
Li Liu Yan thought,"The story of Dugu Qiubai was not written in the Old Jin's book, so I don't know where to find out."] However, in order to maintain his mysterious position in Guo Xiang's heart, he said,"[I know a little about this. You can see it from the stone carvings on the four sides. Senior Dugu Qiubai should be a young genius. His martial arts were already outstanding before he was twenty years old. He was already invincible in Heshuo. According to the words [Fierce, Fierce, and Invincible], his martial arts were still in the imitation stage at that time. It was just that he surpassed his master.]
When he was thirty years old, he used a flexible sword. It could be said that his martial arts took the light and agile route. Perhaps he did not have much experience at that time and thought that someone was a crafty person. Only after he injured someone did he realize that he had misunderstood, so he threw away the Violet Myrtle Flexible Sword.
You should know about this martial arts realm, Xiang 'er. I've been practicing along the way, and my hard work pays off. I finally understand the meaning of the broadsword's edgeless skill. This was probably the limit of his strength. No wonder he could dominate the world.
"As for the realm of winning without a sword and winning without a move after the age of forty, I can only talk about it. I can't understand what it is exactly.]
Guo Xiang asked,"Then what's your current realm, Big Brother Li?"]
Li Liuyan said,[According to all the knowledge in my brain, I've divided martial arts into eight levels. I won't talk about those that aren't good enough. Starting from those who have truly understood martial arts, this is the sixth level. I am the sword, and the sword is my realm.] The seventh level was the realm of having a sword in one's heart without a sword in one's hand. The eighth level was the state of no sword, no self, and forgetting both the sword and the self.]
Guo Xiang tilted his head and said,[It's so profound. I don't really understand. Then what realm is Senior Dugu at?]]
Li Liuyan said," When you are forty years old, you will start with the heavy sword and enter the sixth realm. When you are forty years old, you will be able to use plants, bamboo, and stones as swords and enter the seventh realm. When you win a sword without a sword, you will be able to reach the great success of the seventh realm." I only know about the seventh level. As for the eighth level, I only know that someone reached it 150 years ago. As for what it is, I don't know.]
"You…you've reached the seventh level?" Guo Xiang asked in surprise.]
Li Liuyan said,[What are you nervous about? The level of comprehension and the level of martial arts are not absolutely proportional. People at the beginning of the seventh level might not be able to defeat people at the top of the sixth level.] The realm indicated how far one could go in the future, and there were many factors that determined the level of martial arts. Just like the battle between Jin Lun and Yang Da Ge during the Battle of Xiangyang, if the time and location were changed, the result would be very different.]
Li Liuyan explained to Guo Xiang as she picked up the first sword. With a whoosh, Li Liuyan unsheathed the sword. The blade was still bright and sharp. Yi? Li Liuyan noticed that there was a small character at the end of the sword hilt. It was the character Chu carved with a small seal. Li Liuyan asked,[What does this Chu character mean? Is this sword called Chu?] Or was the owner of this sword called Chu?]
Lu Wushuang said,"Perhaps Senior Dugu also snatched this sword from someone else. It's not surprising."]
Li Liuyan couldn't understand. She put the sword back and said,[Probably.]
Everyone searched the stone platform, but there were no clues about the sword manual.
The four of them got off the platform. Li Liuyan took back her heavy sword and said," There's also a waterfall here. Let's take a look over there.]
The group came to the waterfall. There was no heavy rain or flash floods. Li Liuyan looked around, but she couldn't find any clues even when she dived into the water.
Returning to the cave, Li Liuyan looked at the pile of rocks and said,"[If there are any clues, they should be down here. But this is Senior Dugu's tomb. Isn't it too disrespectful to rummage through it?]
Cheng Ying saw that Li Liuyan was actually going to search the tomb for the sword manual and quickly advised,[Liu Yan, didn't you say that people should learn to be content? The two scriptures we are practicing now are both peerless secret manuals. Why bother looking for other martial arts?] Moreover, Senior Dugu was buried here. How could they touch his bones?]
Guo Xiang and Lu Wushuang didn't agree either. They read Dugu Qiubai's handwriting and felt deep respect for this senior.
Li Liuyan said,[Don't be nervous. I'm just saying. Besides, I'm not looking for the sword manual to cultivate. I'm just curious and want to see this famous secret manual.]]
Lu Wushuang said,"I'd be a fool to believe you. If you found the sword manual, would you not practice it?"]
Li Liuyan laughed and said,"If I find it, I'll have to read it. But if I can't find it, it's not like I have to read it. Everything depends on fate. I won't force it." If you can't find it, then so be it. Next, I'll talk about the other purpose of coming down here, the Qu Pu Si Snake. [Hehe.]
