The martial arts journey begins with The King's Ambition

Chapter 176 Black Iron Epee
Ouyang Feng said to Big Diao: "Brother Diao, senior Dugu is rampant in the world, amazingly talented, but in the end it's just a pile of loess. Are you going to keep guarding him like this? I don't think this is what Senior Dugu wanted." , why not leave with me."

Da Diao looked at Ouyang Feng, then at Dugu Qiubai's grave with a look of sadness in his eyes.

Ouyang Feng naturally wouldn't force Diao into difficulties, and said to Da Diao: "Brother Diao, since I have met Senior Dugu, I really have to leave. If you want, you can leave with me."

After speaking, he bowed to Dugu Qiubai's grave and left the cave.

The big eagle followed, bit Ouyang Feng's sleeve again, and dragged him to a cliff not far away.

The cliff is like a huge screen, soaring to the sky. In the middle of the cliff, about twenty feet above the ground, there is a big stone of three or four feet square, which looks like a platform, with words carved faintly on the side of the stone.Looking up, you can clearly see the two big characters "Sword Tomb".

Ouyang Feng thought: "So it's here."

I saw clumps of moss growing every few feet on the cliff, dozens of clumps lined up straight up, but short grass grew in a few places.With a thought in his mind, he jumped up, reached into the lowest clump of moss, and grabbed a handful of black mud. It was indeed a small cave. Mud accumulated in the hole, so moss grew.

Ouyang Feng jumped up, stepped into the first small hole with his left foot, followed by jumping up, aimed at the second clump of moss with his right foot and kicked in, the soft mud burst out, and there was indeed another hole on the stone wall that could hold his feet.Jumping up again, twisting and turning in the air, using the extremely light work of "Tiyun Zong", and quickly jumped onto the platform.

Next to the two big characters "Sword Tomb" on the big stone, there are two lines of stone carvings with smaller fonts: "The sword demon Dugu Qiubai is invincible in the world, but he buried his sword here. Woohoo! The heroes bowed their heads, the long sword was empty, I am not sorry for my husband!"

Ouyang Feng looked down and saw many stones piled up a big grave.The tomb faces the valley with its back, pitching and empty.

Da Diao let out a few cuckoos from the foot of the mountain wall, and felt that Ouyang Fengfei was on stage, relaxed and at ease, not weaker than Dugu Qiubai at all.It followed suit.The big eagle stretched out its claws to grab the stepping pins on the cliff, and was jumping up vertically.Although its body is heavy, its legs and claws are very powerful, and it got on the platform in an instant.

The big eagle screamed a few more times, stretched out its steel claws, grabbed the stone on the sword mound, and moved it aside, its claws kept rising and falling, and after a while, it moved away the stone on the mound, revealing three long swords juxtaposed. Between the first and second swords, there is another long piece of stone.Three swords and stone flakes are juxtaposed on a large bluestone.

On the first sword on the right, there are two lines of small characters engraved on the stone under the sword: "Sharp and fierce, invincible, use it to compete with the heroes of Heshuo before the weak crown."

When he looked at the sword again, he saw that it was about four feet long and shone with blue light, it was indeed a sharp weapon.

There are also two lines of small characters engraved on the bluestone under the second stone slab: "Ziwei soft sword, used before the age of 30, accidentally injured a righteous man, it is ominous, regretful, and abandoned in the deep valley."

The third black sword is more than three feet long. Both sides of the epee have blunt edges, and the tip of the sword is rounder like a hemisphere.

Ouyang Feng thought to himself: "This is it." Looking at the stone carving under the sword, he saw two lines of small words: "The heavy sword has no front, and the skill does not work. Before the age of 40, rely on it to run rampant in the world."

The fourth wooden sword is old, and the hilt of the sword has decayed. The stone carving under the sword is:

"After the age of 40, don't stick to things. Plants, trees, bamboo and stones can all be used as swords. Since then, I have been intensively practicing and gradually progressing to the realm where no sword is better than having a sword."

Ouyang Feng said to Big Diao: "Brother Diao, are you going to give me these swords?"

The big eagle picked up the dark iron epee and put it in Ouyang Feng's hand.

Holding it in his hand, it weighs seventy to eighty catties, Ouyang Feng clasped his fists at the big eagle, said: "Thank you!" and was about to leave.

Who knew that Da Diao would not let him go.Ouyang Feng recalled the record in the book that Da Diao once asked Yang Guo to use this sword to compete with him.

Ouyang Feng smiled and said: "Alright, since Brother Diao has a taste for elegance, let's try again."

He swung his sword horizontally, showing his sharpness, and pointed at the big eagle.

The big eagle was startled, hastily dodged, and did not attack.

Ouyang Feng was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't know what Da Diao's intention was.

Ouyang Feng said: "Since there is no competition, then I will also take my leave."

He wanted to leave, but Da Diao still refused.

Ouyang Feng himself was confused, he had to fight or leave, what is Da Diao doing?
Ouyang Feng thought for a while, put down the heavy sword, and said: "If Brother Diao is not willing, then I will keep the sword."

Although Ouyang Feng came here for the sword, as the owner of the sword, if Da Diao disagreed, he would not take it away.

Da Diao still disagreed, neither letting Ouyang Feng go, nor competing with him.

Ouyang Feng is really depressed, who can tell me how to communicate?
Ouyang Feng didn't insist on leaving either, he met Da Diao's eyes, full of helplessness.

Ouyang Feng said: "Brother Diao, what do you mean? How about we go down first?"

Da Diao nodded and left the "Sword Tomb" first.

This was the first time that Ouyang Feng felt that Da Diao could understand his own words.

Back in the valley, Ouyang Feng said goodbye to the big eagle again, but the big eagle still refused, there was pleading in his eyes, he really didn't know what he was going to do with him.

Ouyang Feng was helpless, he felt like he was coaxing the child and didn't know what to do.

Ouyang Feng couldn't walk, and the big eagle refused to compete, so he carried the epee by himself and practiced casually.

Ouyang Feng has deep knowledge of swordsmanship, "Tai Chi Sword" and "Jade Girl Suxin Swordsmanship" are top-notch swordsmanship, but he has never used this kind of epee, but he has heard Yang Guo's experience with this epee, It is not difficult to use.

Da Diao was watching him practicing sword, showing nostalgic look.Sometimes seeing that Ouyang Feng's swordsmanship is not sharp, he will fight with him for a few moves, and if he can't resist, he will retreat to the side.

Da Diao looked happy, as if he had returned to the days when he and Dugu Qiubai depended on each other for life.

It was midsummer at this time, and it was raining cats and dogs on this day. The big eagle dragged Ouyang Feng to a mountain stream in the northeast through the rain. A waterfall like a big white dragon rushes down and rushes into a stream. The rush is thunderous and extremely fast. There are branches and stones in the water, and they rush to nowhere in a blink of an eye.

Ouyang Feng understood what the big eagle meant, he jumped into the water holding the black iron epee, using a "thousand catty fall" technique, and landed on a huge boulder, as stable as Mount Tai.

Swinging the epee to strike the rolling branches and rocks on the mountain, after a few rounds, I also feel that I have gained something, and I have learned many sword principles of smooth stabbing, counterattack, horizontal cutting, and reverse chopping, and I am becoming more and more handy.

The big eagle was excited to see it on the shore, and jumped down, flapping its wings against the rocks. This competition was comparable to Ouyang Feng.

The feathers of the big eagle washed by the torrential rain are black and shiny, making it look even more handsome.

Ouyang Feng happily stayed in the mountain, just in time for the frequent flash floods recently, Ouyang Feng and Da Diao used the mountain torrents to practice martial arts, more than three months passed in a blink of an eye.The summer is coming to an end, the rain is less, and there are no major flash floods.

Ouyang Feng felt that the practice of sword practice by the flood was much faster than his usual practice.

He always thought that his fortune was unparalleled, and he never thought of using external forces to help him, but he never thought that although he was gifted, the power of nature was even more overwhelming, and he was still very small in front of nature.

Ouyang Feng said to Da Diao: "Brother Diao, the rainy season is over now, and there will be no more mountain torrents for me to practice swords this year. I know that I can practice swords in the tide, but would you like to lead me there? "

Of course, Ouyang Feng didn't find the sea by himself, but got along with Da Diao for a few months, and he was a little reluctant to part with him, so he wanted to take him with him so that he could have a companion.

The eagle looked at Dugu Qiubai's grave, and was very reluctant to part with him. But during this time, watching Ouyang Feng practice martial arts, it was like seeing Dugu Qiubai again. He transferred his thoughts of Dugu Qiubai to Ouyang Feng.It wailed three times towards Dugu Qiubai's grave, fell to the ground, and shed tears.

Ouyang Feng also felt sad, the friendship between Ren and Diao could be so deep, it might already be far better than Ren and Ren.

The big eagle stood up, came to Ouyang Feng, and motioned for it to leave with Ouyang Feng.

Ouyang Feng felt very relieved, bowed to Dugu Qiubai, and said: "Senior Dugu, I will come to worship you with Brother Diao in the future."

After speaking, he took the big eagle and left the valley.

After leaving the valley, Ouyang Feng followed the big eagle and arrived at the coast of the East China Sea after two months.

He stood on the rock by the sea, overlooking the vast sea, saw the rough waves, heard the rumbling of the distant tide, the sound was like muffled thunder, continuous.The sound of the tide is getting louder and louder, like thousands of horseshoes beating the ground at the same time, but seeing a white line rushing towards the coast, this momentum is stronger than the thunder and lightning.In a blink of an eye, the tide had already rushed in front of him, as if about to pounce on the rock.

Yang Guo practiced his sword in this sea tide at the beginning, and only then did he achieve his five unique strengths.

Ouyang Feng jumped into the white waves, brandishing the black iron epee.The power of the tide is coming from all directions, and it is not like a mountain torrent, only rushing up and down. Whenever it can't resist, it will dive into the bottom of the sea to avoid it for a while.Practice diligently every day, and when you are exhausted, you will have the snake gall of the bodhi snake to cheer yourself up.

Ouyang Feng would not waste such a rare treasure as Bodhi Curved Snake, he raised snakes while practicing martial arts, which greatly increased the effect of his martial arts training.The skills are increasing day by day, and the dark iron epee in the tide is unstoppable.

After a year, gradually, Ouyang Feng felt that it was difficult for him to improve himself by using the dark iron epee against the tide.He knew that as his skill became more and more advanced and reached the top, if he wanted to make further progress, he had to put down the black iron epee and seek a way to use the wooden sword to defeat the black iron epee.

Ouyang Feng carefully recalled Yang Guo's experience of this period of martial arts training in his previous life, and turned Yang Guo's experience into his own practice.
