Chapter 2450 2452【Dugu Qiubai】


    Xiang Nan knew that this was the tomb of Dugu Qiubai, so he knelt down again and performed three prostrations and nine kowtows.


    He has long admired and longed for this senior who has never failed in his life.


    Seeing how respectful he was to the stone tomb, the divine eagle seemed to be happy and stretched out its wings to pat his shoulder a few more times.


    After Xiang Nan got up, he took a closer look around the tomb of Dugu Qiubei. Apart from the three lines of characters on the cave wall, there are no other writings and no other relics.


    ??But he knew that Dugu Qiubai did have sword skills passed down from generation to generation, and he used the Dugu Nine Swords. It''s just that his Dugu Nine Swords were passed down from Linghu Chong.


    ??Although Linghu Chong learned all the Dugu Nine Swords back then, he was best at the Broken Sword Style.


    As for the Broken Qi, Broken Palm, Broken Rope, Broken Whip, etc., he didn’t know much about them, so these poses were not passed down well.


    There are also shortcomings in what Xiang Nan learned. The reason why he came here was to find the complete version of "Dugu Nine Swords".


    "This is where Dugu Qiubai lived in seclusion and was buried. If there is a martial arts inheritance, it must be here. Since there is nothing in the cave except a stone table and a stone bench, maybe the secret book is in the tomb." Xiang Nan guessed.


    ?However, in front of the divine eagle, he was really embarrassed to dig into Dugu Qiubei''s grave, so he could only temporarily extinguish the idea.


    Fortunately, there is still time. At least, he can live for another seventy years. When the time comes, it may be possible to boil this divine eagle to death.


    …


    Just as Xiang Nan was thinking about it, the divine eagle tugged at his clothes again, and then strode forward.


    Xiang Nan was stunned and quickly followed.


    The sacred eagle took him to the back of the cave, where he saw green trees and a beautiful mountain atmosphere.


    ?Walking out of Lishu, we came to a cliff.


    ?The cliff is like a huge screen, rising into the sky. In the middle of the cliff, about twenty feet above the ground, there is a large stone three to four feet square, which looks like a platform. There are words faintly carved on the stone. Looking up, I saw clearly the two characters "Jianzhong".


    When Xiang Nan saw him, he was delighted.


    ??He came this time, not only for Dugu''s sword skills, but also wanted to take away the black iron heavy sword used by Dugu Qiufei.


    ?The dark iron heavy sword weighs eighty-eight sixty-four kilograms and is indestructible. It is not only the best weapon to use the dark iron sword technique, but it can also be used to create magical weapons in the future.


    Conservatively estimated, a dragon-slaying knife and a Heaven-Eliminating Sword can also be produced.


    Xiang Nan immediately used Qinggong and jumped all the way to 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, so he buried his sword here. Woohoo! The heroes restrained their hands, and the long sword was empty. , I’m so sad!”


    “Dugu Qiubai, how powerful his martial arts must be!” Xiang Nan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion when he saw this. Fighting against invincible opponents all over the world, trying to win without defeat, he is really a role model for our generation!


    …


    By this time, the sacred eagle had also used the cave on the cliff to climb onto the platform with the help of its beak and claws.


    Then, it came to the sword tomb on the platform, grabbed the stone on the sword tomb with its claws, and moved it aside.


    ?After a while, the stones piled on the sword mound were removed, revealing three long swords side by side. Between the first and second swords, there is another long stone piece. Three swords and stone pieces are juxtaposed on a large bluestone.


    Xiang Nan lifted the first sword on his right and saw two lines of small words carved on the stone under the sword:


    "Strong and fierce, invincible, I can use it to compete with the heroes of Heshuo in front of the weak crown." Looking at the sword again, I saw that it was about four feet long, with green light shining, and it was a sharp weapon.


    He put the sword back to its original place, picked up the long stone piece, and saw two lines of small words engraved on the bluestone under the stone piece: "The Ziwei soft sword was used before the age of thirty. It was unlucky to accidentally injure a righteous man, so it was abandoned in a deep valley."


    "What a pity." Xiang Nan said with regret upon hearing this, and then he went to pick up the second sword.


    Even though he already knew that it was a black iron heavy sword and was prepared for it, Xiang Nan was still slightly shocked when he got it. It was too heavy.


    ??In fact, the appearance of the Black Iron Heavy Sword is about the same size as an ordinary sword, and there is nothing unusual about it. It is not as exaggerated as shown in movies and TV shows, like a door leaf.


    ?It is precisely because of this that it is extremely deceptive.


    Outsiders only think of it as an ordinary sword, but they don''t know that it actually weighs sixty-four kilograms. As long as you are careless, you will be tricked immediately. Being hit by a heavy sword weighing 64 kilograms, even if it is not sharpened, will break the muscles and bones.


    "It''s quite sinister to seek defeat in Dugu!" Xiang Nan couldn''t help but think, and then looked at the stone carvings under the sword, "The heavy sword has no edge, and it is ingenious and useless. Before the age of forty, he relied on it to dominate the world."


    “Awesome!” Xiang Nan admired.


    When Dugu Qiubei was thirty to forty years old, he had already entered the realm of heavy swordsmanship and understood the art of swordsmanship [heavy swords have no edge, great skills have no skill], which is really powerful.


    You must know that even martial arts wizards such as Huang Shang, Wang Chongyang, and Lin Chaoying have been thinking hard throughout their lives to design more exquisite and sharper swords to defeat the enemy.


    However, Dugu Qiufei understood the swordsmanship of [Subjugate Ten Clubs with One Force] early on. He no longer pursued sophisticated and complicated moves, but returned to his original nature and created the simple and unpretentious yet powerful Black Iron Sword Technique. No wonder it is known as [ Sword Demon].


    His talent in swordsmanship is truly admirable!


    Xiang Nan then looked at the fourth sword and saw that it was a wooden sword. Due to the passage of time, the sword body and hilt had decayed. However, he saw the stone carvings under the sword saying: "After the age of forty, do not stagnate with things. Plants, trees, bamboos and stones can all be used as swords. From then on, you will gradually master the skill of not having a sword but having a sword."


    “Awesome!” Xiang Nan praised.


    ?Although he has reached the state of perfecting both internal and external skills, he still cannot imagine a situation where he can win without a sword but with a sword.


    ??In his mind, either Dugu Qiubei was like Duan Yu in his later years, able to release the invisible sword energy, which would be unmatched by anyone; or like the martial arts myth Wuming, who understood the realm of the heavenly sword and could make thousands of swords surrender automatically.


    ?But what exactly is going on, he really can''t imagine. He just feels that Dugu Qiufeng is really unfathomable and makes people look up to him.


    …


    At this time, the divine eagle made a cooing cry, lowered its head, raised the heavy sword, and put it in Xiang Nan''s hand. Then it made another cooing cry, and suddenly its left wing flew down towards Xiang Nan with strong wind.


    Upon seeing this, Xiang Nan immediately raised his sword to fight back.


    Although the Dark Iron Heavy Sword weighs sixty-four kilograms, it is naturally difficult for ordinary people to use it freely. But for him, who is as strong as a thousand pounds, it is still easy to express himself freely.


    ??The divine eagle saw that he was lifting the weight as lightly as he could, making the dark iron heavy sword as agile and quick as an ordinary sword. He couldn''t help but screamed a few times and shook his head repeatedly, as if he was blaming him for his misunderstanding.


    Xiang Nan was startled for a moment, then woke up.


    ?The reason why Dugu Qiubai made the Dark Iron Heavy Sword, instead of using Dark Iron to make sharp weapons such as Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sword, was because he wanted to follow the path of [heavy sword has no edge and is ingenious but unworkable].


    The Divine Eagle fought with him because he also wanted to teach him this set of black iron swordsmanship. And if I still follow the path of lightness and speed, it will be contrary to the way of swordsmanship of Senior Dugu.


    ?At the moment, Xiang Nan no longer shows off his skills, but responds with simple moves such as straight thrusts, diagonal picks, counterattacks, and horizontal cuts.


    ?As expected, the divine eagle nodded repeatedly when he saw it.
