Chen Lin once studied swordsmanship under Wang Jing in Taiyuan, and spent about three or four years before and after. He still had some talent in swordsmanship, learned a lot, and defeated many swordsmen, but he was very arrogant and arrogant in his heart. He always thought that there were very few people in the world who could compare with him. Later, he traveled to rivers and lakes and went to many places. One year, he went to Sichuan to visit swordsmen in Chengdu, and he also tried to find others in private, but he always failed to meet an opponent, and gradually became arrogant. When he was in Chengdu, he briefly interacted with a swordsman named Mu Tong. This Mu Tong was not Chen Lin's opponent, but both of them had one thing in common, bragging!

Chen Lin was good at boasting about his swordsmanship, while Mu Tong boasted that his late master was once a swordsmanship saint in Sichuan, and his swordsmanship was unfathomable! Seeing that he was so ordinary, Chen Lin didn't really believe that he had such a master, but after checking with others, it was indeed as Mu Tong said. Once, Chen Lin committed a late crime and went to a tall and gorgeous grave in a trance. He looked at the lamp and saw that the name of Mu Tong was among the younger generation of tombstone owners. Looking at his life narrative, it turned out that Mu Tong's master was buried! Chen Lin was arrogant, and after being drunk, he had no taboos. Seeing this, he laughed in front of the grave and said, "You are the swordsman of Chuanzhong. '' I heard that your swordsmanship is excellent, but unfortunately, you die too early, otherwise you can learn from each other.

After Chen Lin finished speaking, he behaved frivolously, looked around, looked like he was giving up on me, and laughed arrogantly. At this time, a person suddenly walked out from behind the grave, with a sword in his hand, and looked at him without speaking. Chen Lin shouted, "Who is it? Why are you here in the middle of the night? The visitor replied, the same as you. Chen Lin saw him holding the sword and said with a smile, Since I entered Sichuan, I have never met an enemy. I see you as a swordsman. Do you have any outstanding skills? The man said, "My ability is average, there are many masters in Sichuan, and they can emit sword qi by breaking a branch. It has reached the point where there is a sword in the heart without a sword in the hand. There are not many people like me who have to rely on the sword. After listening, Chen Lin looked at the sword in his hand and was very dissatisfied with what he said.

Chen Lin proudly said, I can use the sword qi to extinguish the burning wick within a hundred steps! The person then asked, You can use your lantern to put it on the grave! Chen Lin placed the lantern on the grave, and a hundred steps away, he drew his sword and extinguished the fire in the lantern. The man lit the lantern and said with a smile, "This is not a skill, nothing strange. Chen Lin was even more unhappy when he heard this, and asked loudly, I don't know what kind of tricks your Excellency has, but you can also use it to open your eyes! Your sword qi can only barely extinguish the lights within a hundred steps, while mine can chop down a tree a mile away. Even so, I can't be called an expert here.

Chen Lin smiled and expressed disbelief when he heard the words. The man took out his sword and waved it, and in an instant a loud noise suddenly came from a far place. At this time, I only heard him say, and now I can go check it out. Chen Lin was very suspicious, picked up the lantern and looked forward, walked for more than a mile, and sure enough, he saw a huge tree cut off at the waist, and when he touched the stump, it was even hot. Chen Lin was shocked, he never thought there was such a master in the world, and hurriedly went back to see him, but there was no trace of that person long ago. He was very depressed, and when he said goodbye to Mu Tong, Mu Tong said that his master could do this kind of thing. Chen Lin detailed the person he met, and Mu Tong was shocked when he heard it, that was no one else, it was clearly my master! Chen Lin was very ashamed when he heard this, and he never dared to be arrogant again.
