The broken-arm swordsman on the cliff suddenly found that he could move around as he pleased. After walking out of the mountain for more than ten days, he returned with unfulfilled interest. It was not that his interest in the game had faded, but that he suddenly remembered that he had not thanked Yun Zhong in person. In Xiao Xi's opinion, the young man's swordsmanship was actually quite good. He had been coming to sword fights these days, so he knew the basics. But he didn't know that Yun Zhong was practicing with a fast sword in one hand. His skills should be as fast as lightning, but After so many fights, it was only in the last one that the boy seemed to have relieved himself of the heavy burden and showed off his sword skills. Even though he still couldn't deal with the old man guarding the fifty caves, the first forty-nine caves, Probably no one can match it.
People often say that practicing swordsmanship is 90% hard work and 10% talent and understanding. Xiao Xi didn’t know how many swords Yun Zhongtong had used, but as a swordsman, Yun Zhong had such a solid foundation that after Xiao Xi saw it, he was very familiar with it. It was astonishing. Thinking about this boy's age, I naturally felt a bit of admiration. I saw with my own eyes that Yun Zhong went up the mountain every day. Even though he was covered with cuts and bruises by himself and the old man who beat him so hard, he still couldn't help but admire him. He didn't seem to be discouraged at all, but he couldn't help but feel that Yun Zhong was indeed very capable.
But what's a pity is that he is still not as good as the frivolous swordsman who came here last time. The difference is not necessarily in the hard work, but in the seemingly unimportant talent and understanding.
There have been many swordsmen throughout the ages, and those who can really stand on the top of the mountain and look down are the same as countless swordsmen. Nine percent of their blood and sweat are all in the first step. The only difference is that one point of talent and understanding. Fellow practitioners practice the same path and achieve the same goal. All it takes is the first step before reaching the top. Kung Fu, but if you really want to reach the top, if you lack a little bit of talent, you will be thousands of miles apart.
So before leaving, Xiao Xi really wanted to explain the truth to Yun Zhong, but when he thought about it again, he felt that these words were like nonsense. Life is not easy. Most of the time, you can't just not do something because it is difficult. If the world is evil, we must cut off ties with others. If we know that our talents are not as good as those of others, should we give up the sword? Even though Xiao Xi had never read a few books since he was a child, after thinking about it for himself, he still felt that his words were both rude and unreasonable.
The cliff is still the same. The difference from usual is that except for the fiftieth cave, there are no people in the other forty-nine caves. Most of them know that they can move around on their own and don't need to stay here all day long, so the whole Among the cliffs, there was only one old man left who had been drinking tea with his eyes closed all day long. Even though his clothes were disheveled, his aura was still high. Seeing Xiao Xi returning from a distance, he rarely stood up and nodded.
Xiao Xi didn't know what etiquette he should use to greet the old man, so he could only smile, follow Yun Zhong's example and bow with both hands, and then sit down with the old man. The fiftieth cave is the last cave. It is located at the foot of the mountain and is surrounded by flowing water. However, it is snowing heavily and there are no green trees in the middle of winter. Even the few small streams are frozen solid. Usually there is no one there. During the season, children in the city often come to play. They have had many slips and falls in this area, and they often fall and cry twice. After a while, they calm down and continue to slide with their playmates.
There is a cave in the cave, a cold pool thousands of feet, and the Yin Qi is overwhelming. After Xiao Xi drank two or three cups of hot tea handed by the old man, he still felt that the chill could not be eliminated. He frowned and asked, "Although the old man is very capable, , Staying here for a long time will be harmful to your health."
"There is nothing you can do if you are willing to do it. If it is my temper, you will definitely not stay here for a long time. And this Pisces Jade Realm will definitely not change owners several times. I will be in charge alone. Unfortunately, things often don't work out. If one wishes, where can the word freedom come from?”
Xiao Xi was stunned, "How can a capable person like my senior have to endure hardship and imprison himself here? Tsk, tsk, I really can't think of anyone who can trap you. Could it be that Daluo Jinxian fell to the ground, and this situation happened? Then we, the swordsmen in the first forty-nine holes, are like ants, not to mention saving the lives of others, even our own destiny is just crushed into dust with our own hands."
The old man smiled calmly and asked, "What else? The world is too big, and there are too many talented people. A crucian carp crossing the river is nothing. There are tens of thousands of capable people throughout the ages, but those who can be called true masters, How can there be ordinary people?"
"But again, although you, Xiao Xi, are only a swordsman in the first cave, your talent is not necessarily inferior to others. It is a pity that you are still ignorant and cannot be called a great talent." The old man paused and then looked away. Looking at the one-armed swordsman with a frown on his face, he said, "In the past few days, I have been thinking that if you were thrown into the human world, a person with great ability in the fifth realm, maybe even higher than the fifth realm, would really emerge."
"Senior, since you know my name, why don't you clear all your doubts?"
Xiao Xi frowned and his expression changed, but in the end he still asked this question.
Ever since Xiao Xi opened his eyes, he had been imprisoned here, and it seemed that he should have been sitting in the cave, most of the time without wisdom and knowledge. Only when he occasionally opened his eyes to look out at the mountain, he was either wrapped in silver clothes, or in spring. At the end of the summer, the mountains and rivers were magnificent, and not much sanity remained. I couldn't recall everything before. Until today when the old man said his name in front of me, I still couldn't recall the past.
"You shouldn't call me senior. Logically speaking, you Xiao Xi should be higher than me."
The old man smiled and said, turned around and walked into the cold pool, pulled out the iron rope, and pulled out dozens of feet of iron rope from the bottomless cold pool. At the end of the iron rope, he was holding Fang's ancient coffin.
The great demon in the well never thought that with his own level, he would be able to meet such powerful players as the Four Lords. The forty-nine talents who were originally captured from outside the Pisces Jade Realm and were astonishing in the past and the present, They have all been trapped in this place for who knows how many years, and now that they are trapped at the bottom of the well, they are getting weaker and weaker. They are not as good as before, so naturally they have no time to care about them. Although the old man had always been at odds with the man in the blacksmith shop, he still suffered from the cold every day. Now he finally made up his mind and silently turned back to look at the one-armed Xiao Xi with a smile.
In contrast, Yun Zhong, who was calm and calm here and had not left the house for several days, was very bored. Even though his cultivation was no longer what it used to be, he was becoming more and more diligent, but the Baimu Formation forcibly suppressed his confusion and he was still able to stop the boiling water. , no matter how hard I felt, I had to get up and go out for a walk. When I saw heavy snow outside and the door was blocked, it was blocked again. I pursed my lips and teeth and turned around to leave.
The Water God below the well gave Yun Zhong a dead end. Even if he tried to climb out of the wall or use brute force to break open, he was still unscathed, but if he ignored this alley, his thoughts would be different. He always felt restless, like a lump in his throat, and Yun Zhong could hardly suppress the unknown fire in his heart. He stood in the courtyard and was showered with heavy snow for several hours before he lowered his head and walked back to the house.
What Sishui Immortal said may not be true, but if you think about it carefully, it is not necessarily false. From Yun Zhong's point of view, the Four Lords would definitely not act like this, but it was still difficult to convince himself. Although the four gentlemen are fighting for Yunzhong's blessings, no matter what, there are always things that have to be done in the world. A while ago, the four gentlemen's moods changed calmly, and they all saw it in their eyes. After thinking about it carefully, they actually thought they were the same as that one. What the water god said is somewhat related. If it is true, this statement is more credible than before. What's more, when he was looking at Xiaozhou that day, Yun Zhong pinched the formation's eyes with his hands. He originally thought that the scene in front of him was probably fake, but after observing the formation, he could not see any flaws. The bones could be touched and blood was everywhere.
It was said that the Four Lords were the ones who wanted to break the law. In the past, there was no doubt about it, but now the scene is before our eyes. I have been searching for the Four Lords for several days, but found nothing. It is obvious that the Four Lords do not want to defend themselves, but leave this problem behind. For Yun Zhong alone, it is already a dead end. People in the world often have some last resort, and Yun Zhong does not never retreat even half a step. But if the four monarchs retreat, Yun Zhong will inevitably be disappointed, not to mention that it involves countless people. No matter what, Yun Zhong does not want to believe it. But I can't argue with it.
In the past few days, Yunzhong has been in prison and has been visiting everywhere, but found nothing. Most of the people said that no people in the city have been lost recently, but some people said that they have been out on business or worshiping their ancestors recently. Many people have not yet returned home, and even the people who have settled outside the city are also saying the same thing, whether it is true or false, it seems that no flaw can be found, let alone a clever way to solve this situation.
"Nowadays, I am really at a loss of skills."
The swordsman lowered his eyebrows and sighed. He put the very obscure volume in his hand back to its original place, wiped it carefully, as if he felt his hands were a little dirty, and then sat back down.
"As I said earlier, if you follow his path, it will only make you more tired and will not help. There are no bullshit saints in this world. In ancient times, masters would still be anxious with others, and they would still be forced to replace them. People who say things they don’t want to say are just a swordsman who luckily entered the spiritual world, which is quite beautiful to think about.”
Sitting across from Yun Zhong, dressed in black, he disdained to look at the pen and ink on the table. He sneered and waved his hands to wipe all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone clean. The good ink spilled all over the floor and the inkstone was broken into pieces.
"We haven't seen you for a long time. How about I chop you with two swords? You are also a saint anyway. I have no intention of killing you. I just want to chop you with two swords. With your old Bodhisattva's heart, you will probably not retaliate with tooth for tooth, but repay evil with kindness. How about repaying evil with kindness?" So, if I chop your sword twice and dirty the blade, how about you clean the blade for me?"
After saying that, the swordsman in black, who looked exactly like Yun Zhong, actually picked up a long sword from the side and made a gesture to slash.
Yun Zhong lowered his eyebrows and refused to dodge, but the extremely fast sword was held by Bi Hongyi. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to salute Yun Zhong.
"He has always behaved so unscrupulously. Don't be upset."
"There is still something irritating about the matter now. If I have to say it, it is probably the matter in front of me. I thought I had thought many things very clearly before, but now I realize that when I gave up the sword and now hold the sword, that The sword was never in my hand."
