Chapter 27 Exam Questions of Abandoned Swordsmen (1)
From the martial arts training ground to the foot of the mountain, it would take an ordinary person about half a day to walk, but even if the monks did not use flying swords or escape light and ran on their legs, it only took less than a quarter of an hour to reach their destination.
Wu Jie and the others did not run in a hurry. For them, the Supreme Sword of the Abandoned Swordsman was something that could be gained and lost happily, so there was no need to be in such a hurry.
So when they came to the altar at the foot of the mountain, which looked like a temporary one, there were only a few monks nearby.
"You guys are really slow to come." Xiao Buyi was one of the only people who did not enter the Dharma altar. He sat under the tree next to the Dharma altar and stared at the surrounding scenery, looking leisurely and at ease, as if he was on an outing.
, there is no intention of being nervous or anxious at all.
Seeing Wu Jie and others coming over, he smiled and waved hello.
"Eh? Fellow Daoist Xiao, what are you doing sitting here?" Wu Jie asked in confusion, "Aren't you here to find an opportunity?"
"Looking for opportunities is one thing, taking risks is another." Xiao Buyi said with a smile, "This Dharma platform is used by Senior Qi to select disciples. According to the message he left, as long as you walk to the center of the Dharma platform, you will
When the pure energy is injected into the formation under your feet, it will be transported to the examination room. But the test he gives is risky. If you cannot pass the test, you will die in the examination room."
"It's not surprising. Opportunities and risks coexist, which is the norm." Yi Ti smiled faintly, "I believe that this difficulty should not be able to stop the world-famous Commoner God."
"If that's the case, I can't help but give it a try. But according to Senior Qi, there are four levels of testing. Only those who can pass the four levels within forty-nine days are qualified to become his disciple; and if you want to leave,
The examination room can only be decided after each pass... But the most important thing is that after forty-nine days, no matter how many people are still in the examination room, the examination room will explode directly, killing everyone inside.
"
Wu Jie was stunned. He never expected that this test of selecting disciples would be so dangerous!
"It's not that I don't have even the most basic confidence in my swordsmanship, but I don't plan to take risks." Xiao Buyi said, "Even if it's just a humble possibility - I don't love swordsmanship, and there's no reason to risk being blown up."
The risk of fragments. So I would rather sit outside, even if I don’t get the chance, to pay homage to the Holy Emperor’s Mausoleum and broaden my horizons.”
Xiao Buyi spoke truthfully, and no one tried to persuade him. On the contrary, two more monks came over and greeted him with a smile - like Xiao Buyi, they were unwilling to take risks and would rather wait outside.
I am willing to go to the Dharma Platform to try it out.
Monks know the difference between life and death once they see nature. They will not be greedy for life, but they will not make fun of it. They obviously have no determination to die, but bragging about "making a quick move with a sword" is not their style at all.
If they want to take risks, they are prepared to risk their lives. And when they are unwilling to take risks, no matter how great the temptation is, they will give priority to their own lives.
Wu Jie can completely understand their choice, but he will not affect his own choice because of it.
"Although I don't have any swordsmanship talent, if it's just the first level, I should be able to pass." When he walked towards the altar, he saw Yi Ti's worried eyes and said with a smile.
But in fact, the key reason why he made this choice was Yin Shuang.
Yin Shuang didn't say much, but she had already entered first.
Wu Jie believes that with Yin Shuang's talent in swordsmanship, he will have no problem at least passing the first level. Among the young masters he has seen, Yin Shuang can be ranked among the top swordsmanship masters even if he does not use Tianwen Sword Art. , probably on par with Shen Yue and Lin Ye among the White Emperor's Seven Swords, and even slightly better than Yi Ti.
If she couldn't pass the first level, then the hundreds of monks who came to the Valley of No Return this time would probably be wiped out.
The Sword Abandoner doesn't look like the kind of lunatic who would frantically let everyone die in the first pass. According to Wu Jie's impression of him, he should take this exam mainly because he wants to pass on his swordsmanship, even if there is nothing. The danger should also be in the fourth level or at least the third level.
"Speaking of which... Senior Qi taught me a set of very advanced swordsmanship back then. Unfortunately, after so many years, I can only comprehend less than 30% of it, and I can't even master 10% of it. It's really a secret. It's a pity. ah!"
Wu Jie sighed in his heart, and he was already standing on the magic platform. The true energy flowed, and the formation under his feet began to glow.
As soon as the light flashed, he found himself in a desolate wilderness, surrounded by silent sand. There was a stone with words engraved on it beside him. There was a huge iron-green rock not far ahead. If he looked carefully, under the rock There is vaguely a magic circle.
The writing on the stone is very clear: I divide my swordsmanship into five moves, and there is one move for each of the four levels you have to pass. As long as you master this move, you can pass the level. If you are ready to learn, Just break this stone into pieces.
Wu Jie took two deep breaths to calm down, then gathered his true energy and slapped the stone with one palm.
The stone shattered with the sound, and there was a wooden sword inside. A sword light shot out from the wooden sword, hitting him right between the eyebrows.
This sword light contains a spiritual thought, and it is indeed a wonderful sword technique. In addition to the sword technique, there is also a detailed introduction.
"The strong can defeat the weak, and the hard can defeat the soft. It is a common law in heaven and earth. It is a waste of effort to hit a wooden pile with a brick, but if a nail is placed under the brick, it can be easily driven in. In the same way, if a person can If you condense your power as much as possible, as long as the degree of concentration is high enough, you can exert hundreds or thousands of times more power."
"After you master this sword technique, you can cut steel with even a leaf. I call it the 'Steel-Breaking Sword'."
"As long as you have a preliminary grasp of the Broken Steel Sword, you can use this wooden sword to cut off the rocks ahead and open the way out."
"By the way, this wooden sword can repair itself. You can use it for practice without worrying about damage."
Wu Jie reached out and picked up the wooden sword, trying to inject some Qi into it, but found that its material was quite special, and neither Qi nor magic power could be attached to it at all.
"Isn't it true that you can only use wood to chop stones?" He was stunned for a moment, picked up the wooden sword and chopped at the gravel next to him.
When the sword fell, the gravel was blown away, and the wooden sword broke in response.
Wu Jie had a wry smile on his face, watching the wooden sword slowly recover, but he was already a little scared.
You really have to use a wooden sword to chop rocks! This is too difficult! The first level is like this... Senior Sword Abandoner, are you really planning to kill all these hundreds of people?
But complaining was of no use, so he had no choice but to carry the wooden sword and came to the boulder that covered the teleportation circle.
"At least this stone should be smaller!" Looking at the stone that was bigger than a house, he couldn't help but sigh, "You don't need to turn your true energy into sword energy, just rely on a wooden sword to cut through such a big stone.
, it’s not even long enough!” Complaints are complaints, things still have to be done. Lift the sword, gather strength, and chop. The wooden sword turned into countless fragments without any shame, and a faint mark appeared on the stone. Wu Jie
I reached out and touched it, and the traces disappeared - it turned out to be the marks of sawdust.
"Okay, I'm sure this sword won't help." Wu Jie casually threw aside the wooden sword with only the hilt left, took a deep breath, raised his hand, and flames rose into the sky, turning into dozens of flames.
The long sword, which was ten feet long, rushed towards the boulder and slashed it fiercely.
With a loud bang, the ground shook, and dust flew up, covering the ground like a gray cloud.
Wu Jie used a spell to disperse the dust, and as expected saw that the boulder remained motionless, leaving no trace this time.
"It seems... Senior Qi has been away from the world of normal people for too long and has completely forgotten common sense."
Wu Jie sighed, picked up the wooden sword that had been restored to its original state at some point, held it in his arms and sat in front of the boulder, his mind sank into the sea of consciousness, and he carefully studied the "Broken Steel Sword" move.
The principle of this swordsmanship is very simple, but the simpler something is, the more difficult it is - as a joke says, the secret to longevity is just "keep breathing and don't stop breathing..." That's all...
In the spiritual thought left by the sword-abandoning disciple, the principles and techniques of the sword were explained in detail from all angles. It was very "any monkey can understand it". Wu Jie didn't even need to read it a second time.
, just memorize all the essentials of this swordsmanship without missing anything.
However, it is one thing to understand it, but it is another thing to be able to learn it!
In the next three days, he didn't know how many times he smashed the wooden sword into pieces, but the best result was that it left a mark on the stone that could not even be seen without looking carefully.
"It is indeed gratifying to make a breakthrough from scratch, but... my time is limited!" After smashing the wooden sword on the stone again, Wu Jie could not help but feel extremely distressed even though he was determined and determined.
If he was given ten or eight years, he might be able to explore and master it bit by bit, and train this steel-breaking move. But now... he only has a short forty-nine days - oh, forty-six days.
To be able to practice this sword in forty-six days is really fantastic!
"I don't know how long it took Senior Qi to practice this sword back then - it shouldn't have only taken him a few days, right?" Wu Jie muttered, handing the wooden sword that had returned to its original state into his left hand, and his right hand
Point like a sword, pointing at the boulder.
There was a strange breath flowing on his fingertips, and a mysterious and indescribable feeling emerged from him.
Although he didn't want to cheat, but faced with the danger of losing his life if he failed to pass, Wu Jie finally decided to resort to foul play.
In his eyes, countless stripes appeared on the originally stable boulder, which were the textures that made up the stone. These textures were neat and neat, more neat than neatly folded books. There was no trace of irregularity in it.
The harmonious place can be called a perfect work of art!
"As expected, it is something made by a senior master. It is amazing, amazing!"
Wu Jie sighed in admiration, but his hand did not relax. Tianwen's sword intent was concentrated, and he found the inconsistency between the boulder and the surrounding world, and then stabbed it with his sword.
There was no loud noise or vibration. The huge boulder disintegrated the moment he stabbed it, turning into dust and sand all over the ground as if countless long years had passed.
