The evil things in the world are all nothingness. If the resentment is very deep, they will condense into reality and wander in the world. Such ghosts themselves are not very strong, but because they are dead, ordinary people have nothing to do, even if they kill them ten times a hundred times.
times, it can still be resurrected.
Just like the female ghost in red that Shi Yu faced at this time, he had killed it several times, but she could always recover as before. If this continues, Shi Yu will still be the one who dies.
But how could Shi Yu be willing to die here? He still wanted to go back to the Nine Swords Gate to retrieve his master's sword, and he also wanted to ask Li Xiao about the sword.
So Shi Yu's sword strikes became more powerful each time.
The Nine Swords Sect's ability to produce Han Qianye, who is the best in the world, certainly does not depend on luck. The Nine Swords Sect has a famous sword manual called "Jiujian Jue", with nine styles in total, and each style has the essence of one word, namely
Each previous formula is the basis for the next formula.
As Han Qianye's disciple, Shi Yu can certainly practice this swordsmanship. However, Shi Yu's swordsmanship talent is too average, and now he can only be considered a beginner.
Move means sword moves. Lightness means being able to draw the sword easily and freely on the basis of sword moves. These two moves are the beginning. Shi Yu just has the form but no spirit.
Now fighting with a female ghost, Shi Yu actually brought out a bit of charm when he drew his sword at the critical moment of life and death.
The sword moves that were originally jerky have become smooth and smooth, and you can do whatever you want.
It's just that the female ghost was too difficult to deal with. She stabbed her throat again and again and cut off her head again and again, but she could still stand up. It made Shi Yu exhausted mentally and physically.
If he continues at this rate, he will eventually have a place in the flower garden.
Suddenly, someone split the dark sky with a sword and floated over. He was dressed in black robes, holding a sword in his right hand and a wine bag in his left hand. After landing, he took a sip of wine.
Seeing this person, the female ghost who was confronting Shi Yu screamed and backed away, as if in fear.
Shi Yu shouted: "Li Xiao!"
Without saying a word, Li Xiao drew out his sword, and the sword energy swept out and hit the female ghost.
The female ghost let out a shrill scream, and her body immediately turned into ashes.
A faint soul fled hastily. Li Xiao was about to draw his sword when he suddenly heard a deep voice coming from behind him.
"The sword leaves a soul behind!"
Shi Yu and Li Xiao both turned around and saw a bald monk wearing cassocks and holding a Zen staff running towards them on the street.
As he approached the courtyard, he jumped up, took out an alms bowl from his wide sleeves, grabbed the fleeing soul with one hand, and slapped it into the bowl. Then he landed in the courtyard, and the Buddha sang and saluted: "Poor monk Chongpu,
I’ve met two donors.”
Li Xiao sheathed his sword and said nothing. He just looked at the monk and waited for his explanation.
Monk Chongpu then said: "I will arrest the female ghost and listen to her tell her story. Then you two can decide whether to disperse her ghost. How about that?"
Li Xiao nodded.
Monk Chongpu took out the female ghost's soul, hung it in the palm of his hand, stared at the erratic soul, and said: "Telling your experience truthfully will give you a chance to reincarnate."
The female ghost nodded vigorously and thanked the monk, then a faint voice came:
"I was originally an ordinary farm girl from Kunshi Town at the foot of the mountain. I had a brother who was addicted to gambling with my father. When he ran out of money, he would reach out to my mother. My mother never complained. Until one day, I
Even my mother couldn’t afford the money to repay their debts, and my father actually...actually..."
As soon as she said a word, the female ghost thought of sad things and burst into tears. Her soul swayed violently and was about to disappear at any time.
As soon as Monk Chongpu pointed at the soul, the soul returned to peace.
Not long after, a voice came out, with a cry: "My father actually picked up an ax and chopped my mother to death!"
After saying this, the dim light began to shake violently again. Monk Chongpu could only cast another spell to stabilize his soul.
After a moment of silence, the female ghost continued: "The most hateful thing is that my brother did not accuse my father, and even helped my father carry my mother's body into the mountains and bury it. And because I witnessed everything, I was also killed by my brother.
Choke him to death and throw him in the back of the mountain."
"But I survived in the end. I don't know how I survived. When I was resurrected again, I felt that I had endless power. But every time the sun rose, my body burned. Only then did I realize that I was not resurrected, I was just
He became what people call a lonely ghost."
"But my desire for revenge became stronger and stronger, so I went down the mountain one night, but was almost beaten to death by the mountain god at the foot of the mountain. After returning to the mountain, I found that this abandoned mountain temple still had the spiritual roots left by the mountain god.
, I will devote myself to practicing here, just hoping that one day I can enter the small town without knowing the ghosts, and kill those two beasts who are worse than beasts."
"Finally, I found an opportunity."
"I don't know whether they had troubled consciences or out of kindness, but they came to the mountain to pay homage to my mother. My hatred for them was far beyond what this little thing could make up for, so I killed them, cut off their heads and planted seeds.
In the mountains, water their souls with sewer water so that they will never be reincarnated!"
After that, the soul was silent for a long time, and then spoke again: "But I have only harmed these two people, and never harmed innocent people. I know I deserve to die, but I don't want to disappear into ashes. Please spare my life, hero!"
The last few words were said to Li Xiao, but Li Xiao snorted coldly, pointed at Shi Yu and asked: "Since you didn't kill innocent people, why did you have murderous thoughts towards him?"
"I...I..." the female ghost said incoherently.
Li Xiao looked at Shi Yu and said, "You decide whether to kill it or not."
Shi Yu's eyes were cold, and just one look at his soul made him feel like he was trapped in an ice cellar.
Shi Yu suddenly took a step forward and handed out a sword in the starting position of the Nine Swordsmanship. The sword seemed to be an understatement, but wisps of sword energy leaked out, causing the soul to drop into the oil pan and make a sizzling sound.
The female ghost's voice was even more miserable, one after another, intermittently.
After a while, the sword energy dissipated and the female ghost stopped screaming.
Shi Yu said coldly: "No matter how pitiful you are, you can't cover up the crime of committing murder. Since you have already had the idea of committing murder, you must be prepared to pay the price. If I don't kill you, the pain of just now's sword energy will shake your soul."
It’s the price you pay for trying to kill me.”
The soul flickered faintly, and the female ghost's voice came out: "Thank you Jianxian for not killing me."
Monk Chongpu put his hands together and said, "That's good."
Offer up the pottery bowl and collect your soul in it.
Then with a wave of his cassock, Shi Yu felt that the world was spinning, and the three of them returned to the ruined temple.
At this time, it was already bright, the snow had stopped, and the red sun was high in the sky.
Monk Chongpu held his Zen staff in his left hand and his alms bowl in his right hand. He bowed and saluted. The Buddha sang and said, "I have to go on a long journey to the Jin Dynasty, so I'll say goodbye. The two donors will go slowly."
Shi Yu and Li Xiao clasped their fists at the same time.
After the monk walked away, Shi Yu and the other two also walked down the mountain.
Li Xiao had already drained the wine in his wine bag, so he walked very fast. Shi Yu had to run and walk to keep up.
After experiencing the bad experience on the mountain, Shi Yu felt depressed.
This was the first time he encountered a ghost in his life, which indeed caused a lot of psychological shadow on him.
Li Xiao slowed down, took the lead in breaking the silence, and asked an unfounded question.
"Did you know that your talent for practicing swordsmanship is actually very good?"
I wonder if I want to comfort Shi Yu again.
Shi Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "No one has ever said that."
Li Xiao asked: "How many years have you practiced the swordsmanship of the Nine Swords Sect?"
Shi Yu said without thinking: "Five years."
He started practicing swordsmanship with Han Qianye when he was ten years old, and he is now fifteen years old.
Li Xiao asked again: "How many times have you practiced?"
Shi Yu said: "No less than ten thousand times."
After thinking for a moment, he added: "Master said that diligence can make up for weakness."
Li Xiao smiled and said: "There are all kinds of martial arts in the world, some are great achievers, few are geniuses, and most are those with great perseverance."
Shi Yu was puzzled and asked: "Why?"
Li Xiao asked: "Is your master Han Qianye a genius?"
Shi Yu nodded. In his twenties, he was one of the ten strongest swordsmen in the world. Of course he was a genius.
Li Xiao suddenly smiled, very slyly, and said: "But I only need one sword to kill Han Qianye, but I am not a genius."
Shi Yu frowned and pursed his lips in silence. He didn't like hearing what Li Xiao said, but it was a fact.
When Li Xiao saw that the young man was silent, he stopped teasing and said to himself: "When your master became famous, I didn't even have a name in the world. No one knew who Li Xiao was, and no one thought that I, Li Xiao, could become a famous person."
No. 1 in the world, I know that even my master has never thought of it that way."
"Do you know when I have the most difficult time?"
Shi Yu shook his head.
Li Xiao then said: "It was the ten years when I disappeared from the world."
Shi Yu looked at Li Xiao with doubts on his face. He didn't know what happened to Li Xiao in the past.
Li Xiao shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I accidentally killed my master, and there was a hurdle in my heart that I couldn't get over, so I went to the seaside in the south of Jin State, and practiced the sword handed down to me by my master on the huge rocks in the sea day after day.
Law."
"There is a vast sea beneath my feet, hiding dragons and monsters. In addition to practicing my sword, I fight with them every day. I thought I would die there."
"It wasn't until my sword energy flattened that boulder that I opened my heart."
Li Xiao was in high spirits and said: "It was only then that I understood what Master often said about having nothing but a sword."
"I returned to this world and fought all the way from the shores of the South China Sea to the Kingdom of Daxia, but no one could take my sword."
"I wanted to know how fast my sword was, so I asked Sword Han Qianye."
"I left with the determination to die. I killed Han Qianye with one sword without even thinking about it."
Li Xiao suddenly turned to look at Shi Yu and asked with a wry smile: "Do you believe me when I say I didn't mean it?"
Shi Yu nodded and said, "I believe it, but that still doesn't make me give up my determination to kill you."
Li Xiao smiled very freely this time. He rubbed Shi Yu's hair and said: "So you don't have to be talented to practice swordsmanship. When you use the sword a hundred thousand times or a million times, you will always let the world see you."
How fast you draw your sword!"
Li Xiao sounded heroic, but Shi Yu's face was not sad.
He didn't think he couldn't use the sword for a million dollars, he just felt that he had practiced the Nine Sword Art for five years before he could show the third form. If he practiced the sword for a million dollars, could he really compete with the sword world?
Disaster!
But he was still willing to listen to Li Xiao. As the master said, diligence can make up for weakness.
Another sunset.
Two figures, one large and one small, walked into Kunshi Town under the setting sun.
The big one holds the sword in his left hand and hangs a wine bag on his waist. The small one has two swords stuck diagonally on his shoulders, with the tassel of one sword swinging from side to side. This chapter has been completed!
