Chapter 4: I'm not very good at speaking
The legend of Zhu Shiyao has been a hot topic on Lingjian Mountain for many years.
The reason is also very simple. Except for a certain predecessor who was deliberately treated coldly by Tianjian Hall, Zhu Shiyao has been the undisputed number one true successor since ten years ago, and the senior sister of all disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect.
Ten years ago, Zhu Shiyao was just a childish little girl. Although she had lived in the mountains for many years, she had just officially started practicing. Her cultivation was shallow, and she did not have Wang Lu's ability to shine as a novice. However, from that
From that time on, this senior sister had a majesty that could not be offended in the eyes of others.
Majesty comes from three aspects, one is her character, which is different from Wang Lu's passion and Liuli Xian's innocence and liveliness... Zhu Shiyao's temperament is very cold, like an independent flower on the high mountain, except for the necessary bottom line
Be polite and refuse to have any extraneous involvement with others.
Secondly, it is because her whole mind is devoted to practice, and her dedication to the way of swordsmanship is enough to put anyone to shame.
The Spirit Sword Sect is one of the Five Arts of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance with a very high threshold for entry. Most of its disciples are keen on practicing, and there are few who are lazy. There are also many people like Wang Lu and Liuli Xian who often risk their lives to practice, but compared with Zhu Shiyao
, they were too distracted after all.
Needless to say, Wang Lu and Liuli Xian would often go to Xiaoyao Peak's cafeteria to eat and drink after a sword fight. If Liuli Xian failed in the sword fight, they would go to Piaomiao Peak to assist Aya in developing new dishes... Outside of practice
Life is rich and colorful.
This is especially true for other monks. Outside of practice, the atmosphere of the Spirit Sword Sect is quite active. Like the novel, madmen who live in seclusion all day long, for hundreds of years, walking, sitting and lying down to practice all the time are rare in the entire Kyushu continent.
However, Zhu Shiyao really has nothing but swords. After entering Lingjian Mountain for more than 20 years, she spent almost all of her time practicing swordsmanship in the Star Peak. It was only in recent years that she gradually became more approachable. She was obviously Lingjian Mountain.
She is the senior sister of the Sword Sect, but it is a strange thing that a considerable number of people in the sect have never seen her true appearance in the past ten years or so.
But regardless of whether they have seen Zhu Shiyao in person, the legends about her are very popular. Although few people have actually seen her take action, there are always such rumors within the sect:
Even if we look at the Jiuzhou Continent, among the monks of the same generation, no one can stop Zhu Shiyao's Star Divine Sword.
And this is the third and most important reason why Zhu Shiyao is respected by people: strength.
Five years ago, the Spirit Sword Sect and the Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Sect held a sect competition among their disciples. Although the competition ended with the Spirit Sword Sect's complete victory, the Wan Fa Immortal Sect's five-level strength was still fully demonstrated.
If Wang Lu and Liuli Xian hadn't performed so unbelievably well, the brilliance of Zhan Ziye and others would have been unstoppable.
Even so, many elders in the Spirit Sword Sect lamented afterwards: It's a pity that the senior sister Zhu Shiyao failed to participate in the battle, otherwise the Wanfa Immortal Sect would not have the slightest chance to show off its power. It would not be Wang Lu's turn to make an upset.
Zhu Shiyao's power has been engraved in the hearts of many Spirit Sword disciples like truth.
Even Liuli Xian, who is respected and loved by many Spirit Sword disciples, also highly esteems Zhu Shiyao's Divine Sword. When asked about it, he always says bluntly: "My skills are far inferior to Senior Sister's."
In fact, although Liu Li Xian and Zhu Shi Yao started practicing a few years apart, their official training time was almost the same. They can put geniuses like Liu Li Xian to shame, and Zhu Shi Yao's strength has been fully proved from the side.
Some people say that Senior Sister is like a towering monument that will never fall down.
However, people are also saying that in front of the monument, a monument digger holding a shovel has quietly walked up. A certain leading disciple who is in the limelight will sooner or later compete with the senior sister.
A certain popular chief disciple, Wang Lu, never paid attention to such rumors.
He and Zhu Shiyao had no grievances at all, so why should they be in tit-for-tat? Wang Lu and Zhu Shiyao had not met more than three times in the ten years since they had been in the mountains. Each time, they only glanced at each other from afar and could not say a word. Such a situation
Under the circumstances, there is no way to settle a grudge.
If I must say it, it’s just that after Wang Lu got the title of chief five years ago, there were some sour remarks in the mountains, attacking his title of chief as unfair and unjust, but Wang Lu never took it to heart——
If you have the ability, why don't you just go on stage and grab the title of chief?
If someone tried to provoke the general in the name of Zhu Shiyao's divine sword, Wang Lu would only respond with one sentence: "Just let Zhu Shiyao come to me and say this."
As for Liulixian? Over the years, it has almost become Wang Lu’s royal pet, and it cannot be used as a source of inspiration for generals.
Wang Lu himself has always been very clear-headed. He is very clear that his greatest competitive advantage is not the rigidity of the Wuxiang Sword, but the ability to comprehensively utilize various conditions. In short, it is comprehensive quality.
Five years ago, he defeated Liuli Xian in an upset. Was it because of his cultivation?
To create trouble in Yuntai Mountain, is it based on cultivation?
Therefore, even if he is inferior to others in terms of cultivation, he will not care. Now, because of Qinghu Immortal Fate, his cultivation has surpassed Liuli Immortal. If Liuli Immortal surpasses him in the future, he will not feel pressured by it. As for his cultivation,
If not as good as Zhu Shiyao, it is even less worth mentioning.
On the one hand, he really doesn't care about the gap in cultivation. On the other hand, it's because he has enough confidence that even if his cultivation is not as good as others, he can still find a chance to defeat Zhu Shiyao in actual combat, just like he did five years ago.
Defeat Liulixian.
It wasn't until today when he heard Liuli Xian's casual words that Wang Lu couldn't help but be startled: So in Xiao Liuli's opinion, even if I try my best, I am still no match for Zhu Shiyao? Is the senior sister so powerful?
With this curiosity, Wang Lu pulled Liuli Xian and joined the crowd watching the senior sister return to the mountain.
This time Zhu Shiyao returned from Tiannan Prefecture for training, which attracted great attention.
This is Zhu Shiyao's first formal training. She did not participate in the general training seven years ago due to instructions from the headmaster. Now it is the first time that she has officially stepped out of the mountain to participate in a major event in the world of immortality.
The content of the experience has long been spread, and the leader asked her to go to an ancient sword tomb in Tiannan Prefecture to compete for a high-grade Lingbao-level ancient sword that was about to be born. At the same time, there were more than a hundred sects, large and small, participating in the competition.
Among the three thousand monks, there are many monks from high-ranking sects, and three of the Five Jue of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance have also gone: Spirit Sword, Kunlun, and Wanfa - of course, these three sects are all disciples.
Even so, the pressure of competition is so great that the monks in the mountain are secretly sweating for Zhu Shiyao. In such a gathering of powerful people, no one dares to say that they are very sure of the occasion.
If Wang Lu had participated in the training, perhaps people's confidence would have increased by two points. After all, Wang Lu is best at fishing in troubled waters, and having more people would be beneficial to him. Although Zhu Shiyao has great swordsmanship, she has more than 20 years of experience.
Isolated from the world, to some extent I am afraid that I am even more ignorant of the world than Liulixian
, she has been practicing swordsmanship all her life, and when she encounters problems, she can only use the sword as an answer. It is euphemistically called one sword to break all means. But the ancient sword tomb is full of powerful people, and it is said that there is even a great monk in the god transformation stage, Zhu Shiyao's star.
No matter how sharp the divine sword is, how can I kill a monk who has transformed into a god if I am only in the Xudan realm?
With such curiosity and worry, the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect have been speculating on the results of the training. Now as soon as the news of Zhu Shiyao's return to the mountain spread, countless sword lights flew from all corners to the Four Elephants Peak - that
It is the transfer station for the Spirit Sword Sect to the outside world.
When Wang Lu and Liulician arrived, the square of Sixiang Peak was already crowded with people. Hundreds of monks were huddled together, making a lot of noise. Some were curiously inquiring about the situation, while others were shouting, Senior Sister, we love you.
The scene was extremely chaotic. If one looked at this scene alone, no one would believe that the Spirit Sword Sect was the most depleted among the Five Ultimates.
Despite the disturbance from the crowd, Wang Lu saw Zhu Shiyao immediately.
Because although there were many people in the square, the presence of hundreds of people combined was far less than that of the indifferent woman wielding a sword in mid-air.
This was Wang Lu's first time to observe Zhu Shiyao in detail.
As rumored, the woman was aloof and indifferent, and her whole person was like a cold sword that made people difficult to get close to. She originally had a slender and graceful figure, and a delicate and refined face, but she was so sharp as a sword.
With his eyes embellished, it is impossible to feel any closeness. Even if it is just swept by the corner of the eye, it makes people feel like being pricked by a needle...
She is worthy of being a majestic senior sister. Although she has never really fought against her, she can still make herself feel like acupuncture with her Wuxiang Sword Intention. The strength of Zhu Shiyao's Star Sword Intent is beyond imagination.
Then, when he saw Zhu Shiyao in person, Wang Lu guessed the result of her experience during this trip - it was not difficult to guess, because Zhu Shiyao was wearing a simple and square long sword with deep sword intent on her waist. The top-grade spirit
The treasure-level ancient sword is in her hands. Needless to say, the results of her training?
Wang Lu was not the only one who saw the mouthful of trophies, so cheers soon began one after another. Although Zhu Shiyao's face was always as cold as ice, it did not hinder the enthusiasm of the Spirit Sword monks in the square.
A moment later, a white-haired old man suddenly appeared next to Zhu Shiyao, which brought the cheers in the square to a higher level.
That was the leader of the Spirit Sword, Master Feng Yin.
The result of Zhu Shiyao's return victorious seemed to have been expected by Master Feng Yin. Seeing the ancient sword on Zhu Shiyao's waist, Feng Yin was pleased but not surprised. He nodded heavily and said with a smile: "Well done."
Zhu Shiyao's reaction was very cold. She nodded imperceptibly as a response to her master's praise, and then she slightly frowned and glanced around.
I mean, I'm not used to seeing so many people watching.
Master Feng Yin seemed to be determined to let his apprentice steal the spotlight. He shook his head and said with a smile: "This time you go to Tiannan Province to practice, everyone is very concerned about you."
Zhu Shiyao tilted her head slightly, meaning: What does that have to do with me?
"You are the senior sister of the Spirit Sword Sect and a role model for fellow monks, but you have always been mysterious and mysterious. For this reason, I, the master, have also been criticized. This time I want you to stop at Sixiang Peak.
I also hope that I can take this opportunity to show everyone what I have learned from my experience and satisfy everyone’s curiosity.”
But Zhu Shiyao's eyebrows frowned even more tightly, and her eyes showed a look of embarrassment: I, I don't know what to do.
But after a while, seeing that her master had no intention of relenting or giving any hints, Zhu Shiyao had no choice but to lower her head helplessly and start thinking.
After a while, the woman spoke softly, but her voice was not as sharp and cold as her sword intent. Instead, it trembled slightly, showing a little loss. She really had no experience speaking in front of people.
"I, I'm not very good at talking..."
The next moment, all the unfamiliarity in his words disappeared.
