While writing a diary at Zongwu, Wang Yuyan falls in love with someone else.

This is not surprising, though. Although Dugu Qiubai was strong, this sword technique was probably created by him in his early years. At that time, he himself might have been in the "crossing the river by feeling the stones" stage, thus leaving room for later generations to imagine and interpret.

In many martial arts novels, the ultimate level of swordsmanship is usually the "swordless" state, but the power of this state varies from work to work.

So, to what extent does this world truly become "swordless"?

Ah, I was overthinking it. I was being too attached to appearances. Different works have different settings, and not every swordsman has to follow the same path.

[Dugu Jian's "Sword Twenty-Three" directly involves the soul leaving the body, transcending the realm of the mortal world.]

Yan Shisan's "Fifteenth Deadly Sword," said to come from hell, symbolizes death and destruction.

Whether this is boasting or not is another matter, after all, the "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms" can't actually subdue dragons, but Yan Shisan didn't abandon his sword and use it either.

[There's also Lang Fanyun, whose self-created "Overturning Rain Sword Technique" can shatter the void, something that neither "The Longevity Manual" nor "The Compassionate Sword Manual," two of the "Four Great Classical Novels" of the Huang-style novels, can do.]

[So Lang Fanyun doesn't use a sword anymore? He still does!]

[This shows that martial arts are profound and extensive; one must be open-minded, encourage diverse opinions, and never confine oneself to one school of thought.]

"Liberate your mind and don't be bound by one's own opinion?"

Seeing this, many of the women wielding swords seemed to be deep in thought.

Inner Mongolia, on the vast grasslands.

The girl in the green dress rested her chin on her hand and glanced at the green bamboo stick beside her.

She had never used a sword or anything like that.

She had never even considered the realm of swordlessness.

She had absolutely no idea about things like sword energy, sword intent, sword radiance, or sword momentum.

Whenever she faced an enemy, she would simply swing her bamboo stick lightly...

The opponent fell!

Later, I heard someone call the power she released "sword energy" and her movements "swordsmanship".

She stared into thought as she looked at the green bamboo stick in her hand, which had nothing to do with a sword.

Although she was a little puzzled, she was too lazy to dwell on it. Let others call her whatever they want; it doesn't matter what they call her.

She never cared about the word "sword" and did whatever she pleased.

She had just seen Jiang Sishui talking about how the "Nine Swords of Dugu" could break this and that, and about "having a sword or not having a sword," and she actually found it quite boring.

Because she had never agonized over these issues, nor did she understand what there was to agonize over.

However, Jiang Sishui's last words were quite to her liking.

Suddenly, the girl's gaze sharpened.

[There was also Yue woman A Qing, who with a single bamboo stick knocked down the weapons of two thousand Yue soldiers who were capable of destroying a country during the Spring and Autumn Period.]

[What's most terrifying is that she hadn't even delivered the fatal blow; she had merely knocked the opponent's weapons away one by one, and the sounds of the weapons hitting the ground were so continuous that they were indistinguishable from each other!]

This is truly baffling.

Upon seeing this, all the women were horrified!

The name of the Yue army during the Spring and Autumn period is well-known for its strength, which is recorded in the history of the Central Plains and is still familiar to many people today.

But they were so utterly helpless in front of this woman named Aqing!

Doesn't this mean that Aqing alone could destroy a state from the Spring and Autumn Period?

If she were still alive, could the current dynasty, with its divine artifacts, possibly defeat her?

The women's hearts were surging with excitement.

Especially since the other person was also a woman, yet so outstanding, it really touched them deeply.

……

As the girl in the green shirt, Aqing, looked at the diary entries about her past deeds, her expression became slightly dazed, and a look of reminiscence appeared on her face.

Hundreds of years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period.

The states of Wu and Yue fought each other. The King of Wu was victorious, and the King of Yue, seeking peace, risked his life to enter Wu, where he suffered great humiliation.

After returning to his country, the King of Yue endured hardship and humiliation, vowing never to forget the past shame.

At that time, Fan Li, a high-ranking official of the Yue Kingdom, happened to see that A Qing was skilled in swordsmanship. He then used his identity as a "Yue person" to ask A Qing to "train" Yue swordsmen.

Ah Qing was simple-minded by nature and couldn't resist the cunning old fox Fan Li's pleading, so she agreed.

At that time, she also had a good sister, Xi Shi, who was beautiful and stunning, her beauty was beyond description.

Fan Li secretly met with Xi Shi and, once again posing as a "Yue person," persuaded her to enter the state of Wu and use her beauty to bewitch the King of Wu, while simultaneously giving the state of Yue a chance to recover.

Aqing overheard this conversation and immediately came out to scold Fan Li before angrily leaving with Xi Shi.

Later, the Yue Kingdom still managed to destroy the Wu Kingdom with the help of the three thousand armored soldiers "trained" by A Qing.

After wiping away his previous humiliation, the King of Yue became arrogant and indulged in extravagance.

On one occasion, the King of Yue heard that there was a woman named Xi Shi in the Yue Kingdom, who was the most beautiful woman in the world. He then had a thought and ordered his men to bring Xi Shi into the palace.

When the uninvited guest arrived, A Qing was not by Xi Shi's side, and Xi Shi was just an ordinary person, so naturally she could not resist.

When Aqing returned from herding sheep and heard about this, he angrily stormed into the Yue King's palace.

And that's how the incident in the diary happened.

However, there are discrepancies in the diary; she actually defeated three thousand people at the time.

After A Qing defeated the three thousand Yue soldiers, he learned that Xi Shi had been abducted to the palace and, unwilling to be humiliated, had committed suicide.

King Yue was furious that the meat he was about to eat was gone. Just as he was about to order the execution of all the palace maids guarding the palace, A Qing came to kill him.

Seeing that the three thousand Yue soldiers could not stop A Qing, the King of Yue immediately backed down.

Upon hearing the news, Fan Li rushed to the scene and, seeing the situation, immediately began to offer words of advice.

But Ah Qing still managed to pierce the King of Yue's head with a single blow!

That was the first time she had ever killed someone.

039 Ice and Snow Girl Bai Axiu

Recalling this past event, a trace of melancholy appeared on Aqingsu's usually carefree face.

Centuries have passed, and the world has changed so much!

Even if Xi Shi hadn't died that day, and had eventually lived to a ripe old age, she would still be buried in the earth by now, wouldn't she?

After all, she was just an ordinary person.

Because of her congenital weakness, she was not able to learn martial arts at all.

Recalling Xi Shi's voice and smile, A Qing sighed.

After learning the "Nine Swords of Dugu," he and Qi Ying practiced sword techniques together, and their relationship developed rapidly.

[Qi Ying is not only beautiful, but also gentle, intelligent, and understanding. She will definitely be a virtuous wife in the future... well, a virtuous wife is enough.]

Inside the room, Zhao Qiying's lips curled slightly, revealing a joyful smile, her face radiating happiness.

"A virtuous wife and loving mother? Why does Brother Jiang say that a virtuous wife is enough? Doesn't he want children?"

Zhao Qiying seemed to be deep in thought.

Speaking of virtuous wives, besides Qi Ying and Rong Er, I suddenly thought of someone else.

Bai Axiu, the granddaughter of the Snow Mountain Sect leader in "Ode to Gallantry"

Qingzhou, Lingxiao City.

"it's me?"

Bai Axiu paused for a moment, her clear, bright eyes revealing a complex meaning.

[Character: Bai Axiu]

[Instruments: 10]

【Favourability: 10】

When she saw Shuangman's rating, she knew that her status in Jiang Sishui's heart, even if not as high as Huang Rong's, was definitely not far off.

So, was the diarist's attitude towards her the same as Huang Rong's, one of absolute necessity?

Bai Axiu couldn't help but ask herself this question.

She had never met Jiang Sishui and didn't know if she would like him, but she certainly never thought of sharing a husband with another woman.

Therefore, she was more at a loss about how to respond to Jiang Sishui's affection.

However, it's too early to think about these things now. We can talk about things later. Bai Axiu looked at the diary again, wanting to see how Jiang Sishui would evaluate her.

There's also "The Knight Errant". I wonder what happened to Bai Axiu in the book, and whether her diary reveals anything about her fate.

【Axiu is a very kind and good girl, gentle and graceful, polite and refined, with no guile whatsoever, purer than a snow lotus on a snow-capped mountain】

The ending theme song of the TV series, "The Fairy of Heaven," contains the lyric: "An ice maiden descends to the mortal world."

This sentence perfectly encapsulates Ah Xiu's character.
