Chapter 2: Under the Loquat Tree: On Sword Examination
Under the loquat tree.
Six or seven children were gathering together to play, playing games like playing house.
I don't know where they brought a lot of soil from, poured it with well water, mixed it evenly, and then built it into the shape of a thatched house, which was covered with thatch, which looked similar.
Although none of these children are neat and tidy, their robes, arms, and waistbands are all stained with yellow mud. When they return home at dusk and meet their parents, they will definitely be scolded. But at this moment, they are not
Very happy.
At this moment, without warning, a leaf fell.
The straight "trunk" in front of the "house" was suddenly tilted and completely collapsed by the fallen leaves.
A leaf half the size of a palm does not weigh much; but this "trunk" is even more delicate, only slightly thicker than a toothpick, so how can it withstand it?
Then there was a roar.
Among the children, there was one who had a pretty figure, fair skin, and looked very smart. His eyes suddenly turned red.
It was actually not difficult to build this hut; after half an hour of tossing, it was finally done. But this "trunk" was "worked hard" by him, and it was only completed after breaking sixteen or seventeen branches. It was the most difficult thing.
but.
Suddenly his eyes darkened.
The boys immediately turned around and saw one more person behind them.
This man's appearance was quite ordinary. He was just wearing a strange-shaped clothing made of black and white stripes, forming large and small squares. At first glance, he seemed to be slightly dizzy; but after a few breaths, everything was as usual and nothing unusual happened.
Next to the smart boy, there was a slightly stronger child. He rolled his eyes and shouted loudly: "You, pay for Brother Ren's flagpole!"
All the children were stunned.
The smart boy frowned and immediately corrected: "It's a tree trunk!"
Then he quickly said: "It's none of his business."
The stronger boy said loudly: "Why don't you do his thing? If it weren't for him coming here, how would the leaves of this loquat tree fall?"
At first glance, this statement sounds outrageous and unreasonable.
This boy also had a sharp eye, and could always read the dishes. At this moment, when he saw that the person who came had a good-natured appearance, he started to think of cheating.
Unexpectedly, the person who came here had some kind of loyalty. When he heard this, he was not annoyed or angry. He smiled and said: "You are right. This fallen leaf fell because of me."
When the child heard this, he was half happy and half surprised.
It was normal for the visitor not to mess around with him and to play with a few candies. However, it seemed a bit weird for him to actually admit that the leaves fell because of him.
The visitor looked up at the sky and said leisurely: "Three leaves are on the left and four leaves are on the right. This is slightly different from what I expected. Where should we go first?"
The boys were confused for a while, not knowing what he meant.
The seemingly smart boy looked up inadvertently and finally discovered that, several feet away, apart from the leaf that happened to fall on the "trunk", there were also a few more leaves scattered elsewhere. A rough view
In short, it is true that three leaves are leaning to the left, while the four leaves, including the one in front of me, are closer to the right.
The man suddenly stretched out his hand. Six or seven fruits fell from the loquat tree into his palm.
But I saw him flicking his hand and saying with a smile: "Broken your flagpole, and as a reward, it's settled."
The children stretched their necks to take a look, then turned around and glanced at the loquat tree. They were stunned.
It turns out that it is only the beginning of spring. The loquats on the tree are all small green-skinned fruits, which are far from the time to be eaten. But in the palm of the man in front of him, there are bright yellow golden pills, which are bright and pleasing to the eye.
Drooling.
Immediately, all the children swarmed up, one by one, divided and took it, and no longer paid attention to the destruction of the flagpole.
As for the young man, he had already disappeared without a trace.
Gutan Taoism.
Sutra Pavilion.
There is an old man sitting cross-legged here, with a scroll of scriptures open on his left hand and a guqin resting on his right hand.
The Gutan Taoist Sect is in charge, and the master believes in Shangzhen.
The leader of the Eight Great Dao Sects is actually far away from the core area of the Holy Religion and is very leisurely. However, it is difficult for him to further his path. Since he has a long and long life, he can enjoy the mountains and rivers and live a leisurely life.
However, the leader of the Gutan Taoist Sect, Xin Shangzhen, is a strange person.
Ever since he entered the critical path, he has been studying the eight major classics of his sect day by day; not for the purpose of improving his cultivation, but for his hobby and enjoyment.
At this moment, Master Xin Shangzhen saw something satisfying in the scriptures and couldn't help but twitch his beard and smile.
"despair."
"despair."
"despair."
On the stairs, there was suddenly a rhythmic sound.
Immediately, a person walked up the steps and appeared on the top floor of the Sutra Pavilion.
This person's face is obviously very clear, but it is difficult to describe in words. It seems that it is composed of lines beyond the concrete, free from nothingness. The only thing that can be distinguished is the vitality of his body, which indicates that this person is
A very young man.
After the young man arrived at the top floor, he turned a blind eye to the secrets of the "Sizheng Cave". He seemed to be following the guidance in the dark and searching alone, and finally took out something in the secret box on the stone wall.
The teacher was slightly startled by the letter.
It turned out to be this thing.
For more than a hundred years, people from Xuanzong and above have treasured this stone and worked hard to make progress. Not to mention the Gutan Taoist sect, which is one of the eight great sects.
At this moment, the young man's movements were concise and skillful, and he had already lit up the shadow stone.
In the Yin and Yang Cave, the scene of Gui Wujiu and "Ruan Wenqin" fighting, Luchen Sword against Qingyi Mingxin, suddenly appeared.
Although I have seen this scene countless times, but this time I saw you again, I cherished the appreciation in my heart, and I still couldn't help myself. So I said loudly: "To be able to create such a magic door in the Nascent Soul Realm is truly a blessing.
Unparalleled in ancient and modern times, he is an outstanding sage."
When the young man heard this, he suddenly shook his head and said, "It's not a big picture."
The master's letter was really astonished, and he had no intention of investigating why the person who came was speaking so loudly, and immediately retorted: "Compared with other major sects, the magical power of the press box that has been inherited for one century by the major sects is certainly not enough; but don't forget that this is the second generation of the clan.
A self-created method in the Nascent Soul Realm. If it can be so exquisite and refined, isn't it respectable and terrifying?"
The young man smiled and said: "It's like in the kitchen. Although the materials used are ever-changing, the five flavors are still the same. If it doesn't exceed the rules, why bother?"
At the same time as he spoke, he gently rotated the index finger of his right hand, and three inches away from the fingertip, a sword intention suddenly appeared. It formed six sword flowers in a row, with different styles.
Although these six sword flowers are not worthy of mention in terms of scale, they are unfathomable, unreachable, and indescribably wonderful. Compared with the "Lu Chen Sword" and "Qing Yi Ming Xin", they seem to be even worse.
.
Shi Xin Shangzhen felt a moment of chaos in his mind.
When he saw Qin Menglin using the "Heart Formation Spiritual Eyes", the young man suddenly praised: "The three flavors of Taoism are over here."
"It's a pity that this technique is limited to the prototype of magical power, and it has not been able to open up the inside and outside. Otherwise, it will be my formidable enemy."
In Master Xin Shangzhen's heart, two divisions suddenly arose.
The "Heart Formation Spiritual Eyes" technique of heart deduction is indeed extremely brilliant. But compared with Kongyun Nianjian and the fundamental method of Yin and Yang Tao, it is ultimately weaker. Why can one obtain the "Three Flavors of Taoism?"
"So far" assessment?
When the young man commented on Lu Chen Sword and Qing Yi Ming Xin just now, he spoke in a very loud tone. I thought he was a person with a higher eye than his head, but I didn't expect that he made far-reaching achievements in the method of "Heart Array Spiritual Eyes".
An evaluation that exceeded my expectations.
The combination of the two, one light and the other heavy, both challenge the true cognitive boundaries of the teacher.
But the young man obviously had no intention of explaining it.
The light and shadow flowed, and not long after, the scene of Gui Wujiu using the Kongyun Nianjian to break the "regressive equilibrium" appeared.
This time, the young man's eyes seemed to light up and he seemed slightly surprised; but he did not make any comments.
After a while, in the Shadow Stone, there was a scene of Yu Gucheng and Yu Li's incarnation, fighting together with Gui Wujiu and Qin Menglin.
Yu Gucheng performed the second section of "Kong Yun San Nerve", the method of "breaking all laws with one sword".
When the young man saw this section, he praised: "Such swordsmanship has reached its peak. I never thought that local immortal sects can also deduce the magical power of swordsmanship to such a state. It's a pity that the ultimate principle of 'swordsmanship is knowledge only' is not understood and rigid."
After all, the traces have not entered the true flow."
The teacher's letter was really shocking.
The impact of this section of the review is more than a hundred times greater than the previous two sections of comments.
Not in the true flow.
In the Battle of Yin Yang Cave Heaven, the technique of "one sword defeating all magic" reappeared today, which was a great event. After this battle, it was certainly not the fault, and Qin Menglin was in the limelight; but Yu Guchengpin relied on this method to also
It has established a style that is hard to take away.
According to Master Xin Shangzhen’s knowledge, the Holy Sect’s Ancestral Court Mountain Gate is led by a certain Taoist Master Jie, and at least a dozen Tianxuan Shangzhen have studied carefully, hoping to detect some clues from this battle and restore it.
A master of swordsmanship.
The teacher's letter couldn't help but retort: "This Taoist technique is most likely the legacy of ascended power. Isn't it too derogatory to call it 'not yet in the true stream'?"
The young man seemed to be very well-educated. He smiled slightly and said: "There is no conflict between not entering the true stream and cultivating to the Tao realm, breaking through the realm and ascending."
The teacher's letter was speechless and he didn't know what to say.
The young man suddenly said: "The two people in the volume seem to have a close relationship with the noble sect. I heard someone talking about it in a roadside wine shop that there seemed to be four heroes who stayed in the noble sect as guests. Is that true?"
Teacher Xin was really speechless for a while.
This matter was originally very confidential. He and Heng Hua Shangzhen had been old friends for many years and only heard about it by chance more than a month ago. How could it be reduced to a talking point in a roadside wine shop?
But Master Xin still replied: "That's right. Fellow Taoist Yu Gucheng of the Wu Dao; Taoist Yuli from the Phoenix clan; Taoist Xi Lerong from the martial arts clan; Taoist Li Yunlong from the extraterrestrial dragon clan. These four are all born in this world.
Everyone is no longer returning to the Qin Dynasty. Now they are practicing on the banks of the Wulan River, cutting off their strengths and making up for their weaknesses, and refining their Taoist skills."
The young man said casually: "How to go to the Ulan River?"
Master Xin Shangzhen replied: "Start from our Jifang Cave, then cross along Feiye Taoist Sect's Baishi Cave. After reaching that end, we will go west for another three thousand miles. If we travel faster, we can arrive there in ten months."
"
The young man smiled and said, "Thank you."
Then he turned around calmly and walked downstairs slowly.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Shi Xin Shangzhen felt in a trance.
Who is this man just now? What is his origin? Why did I talk to him for a long time without noticing any difference?
Outside of Gutan Taoism.
The young man's face changed, and he had returned to the look that seemed honest and honest. He was wearing a black and white square pattern uniform and walking with sword light.
