    The so-called martial arts world also has levels. There are different levels, three, six, and nine. The low-level ones are like small gangs like the Sea Sand Giant Whale, Five Tigers, and the Broken Door Knife. Their goal is to make a name for themselves and attract wealth. The higher-level ones are like  Even the famous big gangs, such as the Wudang Kunlun Emei and other sects, have great families and businesses, and are also involved in the imperial court. No matter how high-ranking they are, they are like Mu Ying, who is ambitious and has great aspirations and ambitions to change the dynasty.  A kind of martial arts personage who is even more advanced than them is a worldly master like Ye Tianxing who is obsessed with martial arts research and has no regard for the world. Moreover, such people usually have some quirks. As long as they have the right temperament, they can  I can cut off your head, but if you offend him, even if you are the emperor, I will enter the palace and kill you.  The master hermit has already studied martial arts to perfection, which is far beyond what most people can imagine. The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders, nothing is unimaginable, and nothing is impossible. In the remote Gobi desert of the Western Region, there are countless profound martial arts classics, hidden  There are countless great masters who have thoroughly understood the essence of martial arts.  And Ye Tianxing is a person who has just entered the master level, and still has some worldly feelings and emotions, so it is still possible to ask him to take action. If you want to ask those swordsmen who live in seclusion in the Tianshan Mountains to take action, I am afraid that the entire Southern Han Dynasty will be destroyed.  The imperial court packed it up and sold it, but it couldn't afford to hire anyone.  Ye Tianxing, nicknamed the Kuai Sword Prodigal Son in his early years, had only three hobbies in his life, beauties, swords, and fine wine. In order to satisfy himself, he once took over some murderous jobs, but the price was extremely high. I heard that the minimum price was three hundred taels of gold, and only higher than  Not low, no bargaining.  After so many years, I am afraid that the price of Kuai Jian Luangzi will rise again, but it does not matter, as long as he is willing to take it, it is said to be three hundred taels of gold, even three thousand taels, and the Southern Han Dynasty also recognized it.  "So, where can we find such a suitable person?" asked a minister.  "I heard that Ye Tianxing has been in Hangzhou recently. He must have stayed in the Gobi desert for a long time. He wants to come to the south of the Yangtze River to experience the colorful flowers and green willows and the beautiful women." "Well, we will put up a notice in Hangzhou immediately, asking him to come out!" "  You must not make a big show of it. Firstly, Ye Tianxing is not waiting for others. Secondly, it will easily attract the attention of the north. You must know that their military command department does not work for free. " "Then, is there any way to find Ye Tianxing and persuade him to work for him?  We are doing something." Mu Ying laughed, her eyes shining with confidence: "I have a great idea." Two days later, on the Yuelun Mountain beside the Qiantang River in Hangzhou, the tall and majestic Liuhe Pagoda looked graceful and magnanimous.  , a gust of wind blew by, and the one hundred and four iron bells on the eaves of the tower jingled, which had a unique charm. A unique event was being held here.  It is said that three days ago, a businessman from Huguang pawned his ancestral sword to a local pawnshop because he had no money to travel back to his hometown. This man did not know the goods and only offered a price of one hundred taels of silver. Mr. Chaofeng of Hangzhou Prefecture was not a vegetarian.  He could tell at a glance how precious this sword was, so he spent one hundred and fifty taels of silver and a half-worn cotton-padded jacket to pawn the sword.  This sword has been unanimously identified by several antique experts in Hangzhou Prefecture and confirmed to be an ancient sword from the Warring States Period, and it was the personal sword of the overlord King Gou Jian of Yue.  Even a three-year-old child knows the story of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, who sacrificed his life and endured daring. His sword was naturally priceless, so the pawnshop owner held a sword appreciation meeting on the Liuhe Pagoda to entertain friends from all walks of life and share the thousand-year-old sword.  It is said to be an appreciation, but it is actually an auction, but the name is more elegant.  There are many rich people in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and even more people are interested in antiques and treasures. In order to entertain these distinguished guests, the organizers invited Li Qiuying, the top girl in Hangzhou brothel with both sex and art, to join the fun, and also spent a huge sum of money to buy a jar of treasures.  Thirty years of aging.  How could such a grand event not be famous far and wide. When it was held, the area around the Six Harmonies Pagoda was already crowded with people. Most people were not qualified to enter the tower to enjoy the beautiful music and thirty-year-old wine. They were just joining in the fun nearby.  The grand meeting was held. Under the Six Harmonies Pagoda, dozens of well-dressed guests were sitting, including many young martial arts heroes in white clothes and holding swords. The host first invited Li Qiuying to come out and play a tune and sang a song to cheer up, and then started  Open that jar of thirty-year-old wine.  A rich mellow aroma floated out, and this smell alone was enough to make people drunk. This aged wine was no longer in liquid form, but a white wine paste, like amber. When poured into the golden cup, it trembled slightly, higher than the cup.  There are many, but this kind of wine ointment cannot be eaten. If you eat it, you will really die. You must mix it with alcohol.  One pound of wine ointment and forty pounds of newly brewed liquor are blended together to create a fragrance that spreads far and wide. Even the onlookers in the distance sniffed greedily with their noses raised and said it was really fragrant.  Sipping the wine and listening to the ditty (,1£¼£¾1t;xgt;m), the sword finally appeared.    Two servants carefully brought something over, which was covered with red silk in a pretentious manner. When they opened it, they found an antique black box with a simple shape and long decayed corners. It looked like an ancient relic.  Opening the wooden box, a gust of cold air hit the face. This was the sword's inherent murderous aura. The two servants couldn't help but stumbled back two steps. They calmed down before stepping forward again and holding out the sword.  The sword is only two and a half feet long, and its shape is very different from today's long swords. It has an ancient flavor. The sword is covered with regular black diamond-shaped dark patterns. The front of the sword is inlaid with blue gems, and the north side is inlaid with green.  There are two lines of bird seal inscriptions on the turquoise stone near the sword grid, but no one knows this ancient writing, so they can only see eight characters.  The proprietor stepped forward and explained: "This horoscope is the sword used by the Yue King Zhen Qian. After appraisal by several old scholars in Hangzhou Prefecture, it was confirmed that it was the sword used by the Yue King Gou Jian." With that, several white people on the guest table  The old man nodded slightly and greeted the audience very reservedly. He seemed to be the scholar responsible for the appraisal.  Log in to 6 to watch the genuine Wulin Empire.  A young knight in white clothes suddenly stood up and said: "Whether it is true or not, we can't say for sure yet. I, the Fantasy Sword Alliance, would like to know how powerful this thousand-year-old sword is. Can you let me have a look?"  The words were very provocative, but the proprietor was not angry, but full of confidence: "Young hero, please do it, but the sword is sharp, be careful not to scratch your hand." The more he said this, the young hero became more and more confident.  The less he believed in evil, he curled his lips in disdain, walked up to the stage, picked up the sword, and casually tested the sharpness on his thumb.  Tragedy happened.  The young hero's thumb was scratched without any suspense. Fortunately, he didn't use too much force, otherwise the thumb would have fallen off. With a slight scratch, blood flowed. The young hero looked pale and dejected, and went down to apply the gold on the sore.  The medicine is gone.  After this episode, people became more convinced that it was a real sword, so a gong sounded and the auction began.  The first person to bid was the young master of the Fantasy Sword Alliance. The young hero with a broken thumb doubled the base price of one to two hundred gold to two hundred and two gold.  Although the Fantasy Sword Alliance is the best in the world, compared to the wealthy Zhejiang plutocrats, it is still not enough. Three hundred taels, three hundred and fifty taels, four hundred taels, five hundred taels, everyone put in bids to drown out the young hero's bid.  , seeing the price so high, the young hero had no choice but to quit in disgrace.  When the call came to seven hundred taels, no one was following. The proprietor was about to drop the hammer when suddenly a voice from behind the crowd shouted: "One thousand taels!" Everyone turned around and saw a fisherman wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a fish basket on his body.  , holding a fishing rod in his hand and a bamboo hat covering his face, he looked like an ordinary person by the Qiantang River.  But if he can shout out the price of one thousand taels of gold, he is definitely not waiting for others. Everyone is silent, waiting for the hammer to fall. However, another mysterious voice shouts: "One thousand five hundred taels." The fisherman remained calm and continued.  The bidding: "One thousand eight hundred taels." The mysterious voice also continued: "Two thousand taels!" Crazy!  Even a thousand-year-old sword would not have such an outrageous price. Everyone shook their heads and lamented that there are so many crazy people in this world.  The fisherman obviously didn¡¯t expect that someone would shout louder than him. After a moment of silence, he stretched out his hand and shook it, signaling to give up.  With the sound of the gong, King Gou Jian of Yue finally sold the sword for two thousand taels of gold. The proprietor smiled brightly, but the fisherman turned around and left without saying a word.   The man dressed as a fisherman walked to the river and was about to get on the boat. He suddenly stopped without turning around and said, "What are you doing with me?" Someone from behind responded: "Master Ye, I have something to ask you." "Huh,  Are you doing this just to find me? " "Ye Daxia Mingjian, I am Taihu Muying. I have an unkind request" "Don't say it, I want to take advantage of it.  There's no way to threaten me with the sword. It's not the general Mo Xie. You can keep it for fun if you like." The more Ye Tianxing said this, the more Mu Ying knew. After all, the general Mo Xie is a legendary thing. How can it be compared to the Gou Jian sword.  .  "Master Ye misunderstood, please look." Ye Tianxing turned around slightly, only to see Mu Ying holding a black box in her hand, which contained the Yue King Goujian Sword that had just been purchased for two thousand taels of gold.  "A small thought is not a sign of respect. A sword matches a hero, so please accept it with a smile." Ye Tianxing was not polite at all. He stretched out his hand to take the sword, looked at it up and down, and sincerely praised: "It is indeed a good sword!"  He inserted it into the fish basket casually, and Ye Tianxing said: "Look, you are"If you are interested, please ask me for anything.  Mu Ying was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "This is not the place to talk. Senior, please move on. Junior has prepared some fine wine and Li Qiuying is with us. Let's talk slowly."  Ye Tianxing laughed: "You are still thoughtful and know my hobbies."  "" For three consecutive days, Ye Tianxing lived in Yayuan outside Hangzhou. Every day he drank wine and beautiful women, and spent thousands of taels of silver on a meal. Such generosity made even a worldly master like Ye Tianxing  He couldn't help but be surprised. After all, he had short hands and a soft mouth. Ye Tianxing finally couldn't help but ask Mu Ying what he wanted to do. When the time came, Mu Ying immediately knelt down and explained to Ye Tianxing the current crisis facing the Southern Han Dynasty.  , begging him to come forward and do something big to save the Han family. "What is it?  " "Assassinate Yuan Feng, the leader of the Northern Army!  "
