Chapter 182 Legend of Jianghu
Lu Mansion is at the end of Qixing Lane.
Two stone lions are placed on the left and right, the bronze gate exudes a sense of calmness, and the word "Lu Mansion" is engraved on the plaque.
From the outside, the mansion seems to be ordinary, just like other houses in Qixing Lane, but when you walk in, you find that it is a completely different world. Once you enter the door of the mansion, you suddenly become enlightened.
Snow covers the ground, and the pavilions and lofts are all beautiful scenery.
A maid led Li Fan and the others through the long corridor to an open space in the Lu Mansion, which looked like a martial arts arena in the mansion.
There were many people sitting on the floor in different directions, with warm wine in front of them. Lu Yuhuan was sitting on the main seat, but like everyone else, he was sitting on the floor, appearing to be with the guests.
Moreover, there was no one else in the mansion.
From this point of view, it makes people feel quite comfortable. After all, many of them come here because of Lu Yuhuan's face and do not want to socialize.
Sword cultivators are free and easy, and most of them are unruly people who don't like to be restrained.
Some people are interested in Lu Yuhuan's face, while others want to see other genius sword cultivators.
"Brother Zuo, Miss Lu."
Seeing Li Fan arriving, Lu Yuhuan stretched out her hand to guide a location and said: "Please take a seat."
Among the group of people, only Li Fan and Lu Yuan were sword cultivators, so they were the only two who came to the banquet. After all, it was a banquet for sword cultivators.
Li Fan and the two sat on the ground, snowflakes were falling, and everyone was sitting in the snow like this without any shelter. Li Fan couldn't help but smile and said: "It's really a good time to enjoy the snow, Miss Lu, Ya."
Cooking wine and discussing swords in the snow has a unique flavor.
Many people around looked at Li Fan and Lu Yuan. They both had extraordinary looks, and they seemed to be a perfect match when sitting next to each other. Some people couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Brother Zuo and Miss Lu are Taoist couples?"
Lu Yuan was unmoved when he heard the other party's words. It was indeed easy for people to misunderstand if they walked together, but he didn't need to pay too much attention. Li Fan said: "Friends."
The man smiled and nodded, and then his eyes fell on Lu Yuan again. This woman had outstanding temperament and very good looks, but she didn't know what her swordsmanship was.
If he is not extraordinary, then he is a good match.
"I'm Shi Zhong." He said to Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan looked at Li Fan beside him, pretending not to see it and ignoring Shi Zhong, which made Shi Zhong a little embarrassed for a moment.
Lu Yuhuan saw this scene and thought that Lu Yuan was not polite at all. After Shi Zhong asked, he greeted Lu Yuan and ignored Li Fan.
Therefore, Lu Yuan also ignored him, which was intriguing. Shi Zhong was obviously asking for trouble.
"Brother Tang is here." At this time, a young figure walked towards him with a sword on his back. Suddenly everyone looked at that figure. Li Fan also looked at the young swordsman who arrived. He looked about twenty years old and walked like a child. The wind makes the young man appear high-spirited, free and uninhibited.
Tang Huan, thirty-sixth on the Qingyun Ranking, is also the youngest genius swordsman on the Qingyun Ranking. He naturally has the qualifications to be free and easy.
There is a sword-shaped eye that hides the sword's intention, and you are eager to try it.
Lu Yuhuan invited all young sword cultivators. When these people come to Chixiao City, no one wants to be on the Qingyun Ranking.
Now that Tang Huan, who was on the Qingyun List, appeared, they naturally wanted to confirm it.
If he defeats Tang Huan in the kendo competition in Chixiao City, he can take his place, win the opponent's ranking, and enter the clouds with his sword.
"Mr. Tang." Lu Yuhuan stood up to greet him. Tang Huan walked over casually, called Miss Lu, and sat down not far away from her.
"I have heard the name of Mr. Tang for a long time. When I saw him today, he is really extraordinary. He is still so young." I heard a voice. The speaker was Su Chen. When Li Fan and Lu Yuan arrived, he I didn’t say hello as usual, probably because of that day.
Tang Huan did not respond, but lowered his head to warm the wine, then raised his glass to Lu Yuhuan and said, "Are you serious about what Miss Lu said about the sword?"
"Of course Yuhuan doesn't dare to lie." Lu Yuhuan smiled, took out a sword box from his side, and then opened it. Cold light shot out from inside, and it was actually very cold.
"Today I invite you all to come and enjoy the snow and discuss swordsmanship. Naturally, there must be some luck. To the person who wins the swordsmanship, I, the Lu Mansion, would like to give you a sword. Of course, it is just for fun. You are all genius swordsmen, so I won't be surprised. , this sword also adds to the excitement of this sword discussion.”
Li Fan felt the sword intention in the sword, and secretly thought that this sword was extraordinary and could not be produced by ordinary forces. The Lu family also had profound knowledge, so they took it out as a lottery at will.
Tang Huan seems to have come here for this reason, but he didn't mention it to him before. He must have agreed too quickly?
Among the crowd, a ragged swordsman stood out, it was Yan Qi. He raised his head and glanced at Lu Yuhuan, then continued to drink silently with his head down, seeming to be out of place here.
Lu Yuhuan put down his sword, held the cup in both hands, and said to everyone: "Yuhuan drinks to you all. Thank you very much for coming to my Lu Mansion. Yuhuan is very grateful."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
The others also clinked their glasses with each other, drank them in one gulp, but Lu Yuan was not good at drinking, so he took a sip casually.
"Miss Lu, why don't you drink?" came a voice, and the speaker was Su Chen. He was actually paying attention to Li Fan and Lu Yuan, knowing that Lu Yuan did not drink the wine in the cup.
Lu Yuan frowned. What does this have to do with him?
"She's not good at drinking." Li Fan responded on Lu Yuan's behalf.
"Brother Zuo said just now that he and Miss Lu are not Taoist couples. Now why are he so eager to explain to Miss Lu?" Su Chen said with a smile, seemingly joking.
It wouldn't hurt if he was familiar with him, but Li Fan and Lu Yuan were not very familiar with him.
"Then do I need to explain to Brother Su?" Li Fan asked back with a smile, making everyone around him look at the two of them with interest. They were already fighting against each other before they even started discussing swords?
Do the two of them have old grudges?
"Of course you don't have to. I'm just joking. I'm just asking. I don't mean anything else." Su Chenyun said calmly and laughed it off. It seemed that Li Fan couldn't take the joke.
"Miss Lu is not good at drinking, so she won't force herself." Lu Yuhuan tried to smooth things over.
"In the world of swordsmanship, Chixiao City is the best. The number one swordsman in the Dali Dynasty is already a semi-sacred existence. He is stationed in Chixiao City. He is ranked third in swordsmanship and has attracted countless genius swordsmen here. Today, we can all join forces. It is fate that we gather together. Although our swordsmanship is weak, we are young after all. One day, I hope that one of us will not only become a swordsman, but also enter the sword master list." Lu Yuhuan raised his glass again, and his words were sincere, which made everyone's heart. Longing for life.
The sword enters the blue sky, enters the famous sword list, and then enters the sword master list.
This is the dream of countless Dali sword cultivators.
"The leader of swordsmanship in the world is a semi-saint. So, are there any saints alive in the world of Li today?" Li Fan asked curiously, wondering if people here know something about it.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Maybe." A sword cultivator replied: "I heard that there may be a saint sitting in the palace of the Dali Dynasty."
"Lishan?" Another sword cultivator said: "A year ago, it was said that the Dali Dynasty entered Lishan and was defeated. Regarding the news of that battle, all parties remained silent, but there were still rumors that Wang Daoxuan, the second largest figure in Lingxiao Pavilion, , fate fell from the mountain.”
"It should be impossible." Someone said: "The swordsman saint has passed away long ago, and so has the Lishan Sword Master. Maybe they still have some means left to protect Lishan so that Lishan will never be destroyed."< br>
"If there is such a possibility, I heard that there is a divine sword in Lishan Mountain."
"In any case, Li Shan is in the past. The Dali court will not let Li Shan rise again." Su Chen said calmly.
"Back then, there were many heroes in Lishan. It was so glorious back then. Now, there is only one Lishan sword cultivator on the famous sword list." Lu Yuhuan also sighed with emotion.
"Who?" Li Fan asked.
"Suzaku Sword, Ji Hua." Lu Yuhuan replied.
"Senior Brother Ji Hua." Li Fan thought to himself.
"However, Wen Jianshou's son Wen Ruyu is also extremely talented and will have opportunities in the future." Lu Yuhuan added.
"I'm afraid the court won't give them this opportunity." Su Chen smiled.
"Brother Zuo doesn't seem to know much about these famous sword cultivators?" Lu Yuhuan looked at Li Fan and asked curiously.
"When I first came here, I didn't know much about this. I only knew who the top three people on the Sword Master list were." Li Fan said with a smile. This was what he heard from Old Man Cai.
"These are a bit far away, but apart from those on the Qingyun List, there are actually many young genius sword cultivators who have never been to Chixiao City, so they are not recorded on the list." Lu Yuhuan said: "I heard, Lingxiao Pavilion is cultivating a top genius at any cost, and that person is the son of the Jiang family in the imperial city.”
"Jiang Tai'a."
Su Chen knew a lot. He said with a smile: "Jiang Tai'a has already made a name for himself in the palace. He should be only sixteen or seventeen years old now. It is said that he has entered the realm of foundation building. Such a terrifying genius, if he comes to Chixiao City, , the first person on the Qingyun list will be him sooner or later.”
"How come I have heard a piece of gossip." Another sword cultivator said.
"What news?"
"When the imperial court went to Lishan, Lingxiao Pavilion took Jiang Tai'a there. They went to Lishan to ask for a sword. Jiang Tai'a was defeated."
"Oh?" Everyone was a little curious.
"Who did you lose to?"
"Of course it's a disciple of Lishan. As for who it is...have you heard about what happened in Chuzhou City? The imperial court sent several top practitioners into Chuzhou City just to kill a young man. Why do you think it is?" br>
"The one who defeated Jiang Tai'a?"
"I don't know." The man smiled and shook his head: "But I'm afraid the truth is not much different."
Li Fan and Lu Yuan listened quietly, with normal expressions, but they did not expect that this sword discussion would actually involve him.
It seems that there is already a legend about him in this world.
