Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 99: Copying a book a hundred times, its meaning becomes clear
"So, Mr. Li, are you here to join the World Sword Alliance this year as well?" The confused Taoist asked Li Si while sitting on the cloth and eating melon seeds.
Apparently he had already paid the thirty taels of membership fee, and he didn't even blink when he paid it, as if he had only paid three cents. This made Li Si wonder if these Taoists were all as rich as the monks in front of the Buddha.
One was drinking Buddha tea, and the other was eating Sanqing rice.
However, when he heard the Taoist's question, he stopped thinking about it and directly denied his words.
"no."
As he said this, he took a sip of the wine in his hand and shook his head decisively.
"Then, why did you come here?" The confused Taoist looked a little confused. Based on his understanding of Li Si, if Li Si had no intention of joining the Sword Alliance, he should not have shown up at all.
"Because it will bring trouble." Li Si said helplessly with a curl of his lips.
The confused Taoist seemed to realize something. He turned his head to look at the tiger-manager not far away, blinked , and then shook his head and said.
"don't know."
Li Si glanced at him and replied with a smile: "You don't understand anything."
In fact, the confused Taoist is not confused at all. He just pretends to be confused while knowing the truth. Anyone who is not that confused knows this.
"Yes, I know nothing." The confused Taoist smiled and touched his mustache.
"But I don't think this year's Sword Alliance will be able to be held properly."
"Oh?" Li Si shook the drink in surprise, looked at him curiously and asked, "Why?"
"Because based on my experience in the past years, wherever you, Mr. Li, are, there will definitely be more than just one trouble." The confused Taoist grabbed another handful of melon seeds and said without hesitation.
"Besides, now, the other trouble should have come."
As he spoke, he glanced at a person in the distance vaguely.
Li Si followed his line of sight and saw a foreign man who was over nine feet tall, with a fierce face and a huge sword as tall as a person on his back. The sword also revealed a fierce aura. He looked like he was just short of writing the words "I'm going to cause trouble" on his face.
Okay, Li Si raised his eyebrows, refocused his gaze, and said to the confused Taoist.
"It seems you are right. There will always be trouble coming to me."
"No, no, no." The confused Taoist raised one hand and shook it.
"In my opinion, it is you, Mr. Li, who is always looking for trouble."
To put it bluntly, he just felt that Li Si was too idle, so he always looked for things to do.
Li Si smacked his lips when he heard what he said, then helplessly took a sip of the wine in his hand.
He knew what the confused Taoist meant, but he couldn't refute it because he was indeed an idle person.
"But." Li Si felt it necessary to defend himself, and said to the foreign man in the corner with his chin raised.
"I certainly didn't provoke that person."
"Oh?" The confused Taoist frowned, and after a while, he cracked another melon seed, clapped his hands and said.
"Then this trouble may be even bigger."
After saying that, he seemed to no longer think about this matter, but turned to look at Li Si and asked.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Li, are you sure you won't join the World Sword Alliance this year?"
"Why do you care so much about this?" Li Si looked at him with amusement, picked up a piece of dried meat and took a bite and asked.
"Because if you participate, I won't participate." The confused Taoist stretched and patted the sword at his waist and said.
"I don't want to be cut by your sword."
A confused Taoist always pretends to be confused even though he knows the truth.
He practiced the Wudang Sect's Three Purities Technique, and his mind was clearer than anyone else's.
Therefore, he could see more clearly than anyone else who had the fastest sword in the world.
…
Tie Muyi stood on the stage for half an hour. Just when he thought that no one would come up today, the first person who wanted to challenge him walked onto the stage.
He knew that person; he was the senior disciple of Huashan Sect, Feng Shanyang.
Huashan swordsmanship? Tie Muyi closed his eyes slightly. It should be very tricky.
On the other side, Feng Shanyang was also looking at Tie Muyi.
He had wanted to compete with Tie Muyi for a long time, but unfortunately, apart from competing with others in his early years, Tie Muyi stayed at home all year round and never went out.
I guess he was practicing in seclusion, which meant he lost the chance to fight with Tie Muyi.
I don’t know what he will feel when he finds out what Tie Muyi is doing at home. In any case, he is now very much looking forward to the competition with Tie Muyi.
He jumped onto the sword platform with his sword in hand, bowed to Tie Muyi and said.
"The Huashan Sect has sealed Shanyang, please teach me."
Tie Muyi nodded slightly, raised the iron sword in his hand, and replied.
"Please enlighten me."
The two men faced each other for a while, and then there was a clanging sound, and the long sword in Feng Shanyang's hand had already been unsheathed.
"Huo." Li Si, whose attention was attracted by the fight between the two men, saw the sword in Feng Shanyang's hand and said with a smile.
"Shanyang has changed his scabbard."
The confused Taoist was confused again, and looked at Li Si and asked, "How do you know this?"
"Uh." Li Si was embarrassed for a moment, then pointed at his eyes and said seriously.
"Observation, it depends on observation ."
He couldn't say that he was the one who broke the original scabbard, and he still owed the money, so it would be a bit embarrassing.
Fortunately, the confused Taoist did not delve into it further, but instead turned his attention back to the two people on the sword platform.
For the younger generation of swordsmen, Feng Shanyang is a very difficult opponent to deal with. His sword is not fast, but he is extremely agile and his Huashan swordsmanship is varied.
Many times, his sword would appear in places you least expected, and then you would win by surprise.
But this time, he chose the wrong opponent.
If it were before, when Tie Muyi was still using seven swords, he should have been able to handle it for a while with the risky moves of Huashan swordsmanship.
But now, Tie Muyi's swordsmanship has obviously improved again. He has merged the seven swords into one. Swordsmanship is no longer so important in his eyes.
Because of Li Si, he had learned hundreds of sword techniques, which could be considered as learning from many masters. But Li Si had told him very early on that his final journey should be after he had put down all these sword techniques.
Although Li Si did not know swordsmanship, he had read so many sword manuals and had a certain theoretical knowledge, so what he said was indeed not wrong.
Just a while ago, when Tie Muyi was locked in the study by his mother to copy the Hundred Schools of Scripture, he accidentally saw a passage.
The opening of this passage is called "All schools of thought have their strengths, but all have their weaknesses."
The meaning of the whole paragraph is probably that there is no idea that is without shortcomings and loopholes. Only by looking at things with a truly broad and open perspective can one be absolutely fair and objective.
Tie Muyi seemed to have realized something, so he went to Cangjian Valley and melted his seven swords into one.
He gave up all the sword skills he had learned, and because of this, he is now completely different from the person he was before.
