The mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist, which looks very misty. The entire mountain peak seems to be swallowing clouds and mist, and it seems that it may transform into immortality at any time. However, from time to time, three or two spiritual birds come to accompany them, dancing lightly in the mountains, and the fairy mountain is also filled with the bustle of dust.
There is a huge stone on the top of the mountain lying across the cliff. The stone surface is spacious and it faces the deep cliff stream.
Shrouded in clouds and mist, a figure dances a sword on the stone. It is light and flexible, the sword moves as it pleases, and the figure is looming, unlike a guest in the world.
Luo Lan stood still next to the boulder without walking up to it. A blue-feathered bird landed on the branch next to her, with its twin tails hanging down like scissors.
Luo Lan showed a faint smile. She was very fond of the free spiritual bird on the Yanlai Peak - Qing Yan, who loves the house and the crow. She also likes to wear a long green skirt. When moving in the mountains, she is like a free Qing Yan. Yan, and Qingyan has a spirit, and feels Luolan's love and care for them, so she also likes to be close to Luolan and is never afraid of alienation.
At the end of the sword swing, Ai Ling sheathed her sword and settled down.
Luo Lan stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Master."
Although Ai Ling sheathed her sword, she still had the sword's intention in her body, the lingering charm was not exhausted, and the sword's power was about to be unleashed.
Luo Lan was not surprised by this and looked indifferent.
Ai Ling sighed and said: "There are twelve types of immortal sword techniques on the moon stone, but they have been passed down from generation to generation. Now, all that can be gathered are the nine types that come and go. After that, everyone has understood them. There are similarities, the nine sword techniques are interlocked, pushing the sword's power to the extreme, but the bow is full of strings, and there is only one arrow missing to send out this power."
Luo Lan thought for a while and said: "Maybe it's because the nine moves themselves have shortcomings. After all, the results obtained by Wu Shi are determined by each person's qualifications and temperament. Even if it is the same sword technique, different people will have different opinions. For example, the sword techniques collected by the sect, even if they are repeated by many, are still difficult to distinguish between the good and the bad. When the disciple learned the sword technique 'Moon Point Wave Heart One Pearl' before, he hesitated for a long time. Senior Everyone has different understandings. They have different opinions on whether the bead should be in the center of the clear water, or in the sky, or emphasize the reflection, so the disciples don't know for a while which senior's opinion should be inherited."
Ai Ling recalled the interesting incident when the girl was struggling to learn skills, and she smiled, her eyes full of admiration, and said: "But fortunately, you have extraordinary understanding and deep blessings. It would be better for someone else to learn the sword skills collected by the sect, just because If you don't get it yourself, it is difficult to innovate after all. You can only follow the path of your predecessors. You will not be able to walk out of that path, let alone gain any new insights. This is also the limitation of the inheritance of the master. But because of your own vacillation, you once had an epiphany and realized that the bead was not in the water or in the air, but in your heart. Ripples appeared in your heart, and you took this sword technique one step further. The depth of your understanding was no less than that of the Enlightenment Stone. What you gain will also add another form to the sword technique collected by the sect. For this reason alone, you will not lose to my master."
Luo Lan shook his head repeatedly and said: "If it weren't for the master, it would be impossible for the disciple to follow such a path. Although the disciple has achieved something, he dare not be proud. Compared with the master, the disciple is still far behind."
Ai Ling shook her head and said: "Humility is a good thing, but people should not belittle themselves."
Luo Lan nodded quickly and said: "Disciple understands."
Ai Ling nodded and said, "Have you started to realize the stone yet?"
Luo Lan said: "Yes, it has already started."
"That's good."
Ai Ling murmured, her eyes far away, as if she could see the situation on the main peak from a distance, her eyes were full of expectation.
Luo Lan was confused and just a little hesitant.
Ai Ling's voice came and said: "As a teacher, you teach and resolve doubts. As a disciple, if you have doubts, you may as well speak up and don't hide it."
Luo Lan said quickly: "Master, please don't blame me. The disciple is just a little confused. I just feel that the master seems to value the little junior sister too much."
Ai Ling smiled and asked, "What do you think of your junior sister's qualifications?"
Luo Lan said honestly: "Junior sister's qualifications are good, but they are only good."
"Not bad?" Ai Ling laughed, "Yes, in Qingyang Sect, it is not difficult to find disciples with this kind of qualifications. It can even be said that they are everywhere. But in my opinion, your little junior sister still has something extraordinary. .”
Luo Lan hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Is it because of Uncle Qingyangzi?"
Ai Ling was stunned and did not answer.
Luo Lan only said that he said something he shouldn't have said, and quickly knelt down and said: "This is a disciple who is talking nonsense. Master, please calm down."
Ai Ling raised her right hand and sent out an invisible force. She lifted Luo Lan up from the air and said softly: "You can see it to some extent. This is indeed one of the reasons."
Since it was one of the reasons, there were naturally other reasons, but Luo Lan lowered his head and did not dare to ask any more questions.
Ai Ling laughed and said: "You don't need to be nervous. As you all know, your Qingyangzi master is not simple, but the reason why he is not simple is not just because he has understood the Qingyang Yuyan Jue." There are three techniques, and some past experiences, but those are the secrets of the sect, and it’s hard to say much about them as a teacher. But since your little junior sister can attract his attention, there is a reason. I couldn’t see why at first, but That’s how I believe it.”
Luo Lan felt incredible. Ai Ling, who was always known for being strict with her disciples, had valued Xu Mushan from the beginning and was always friendly and kind when they got along. Is this just because Xu Mushan was brought back by Qingyangzi?
Ai Ling said "at the beginning", does that mean she has seen something now?
Ai Ling suddenly asked: "What do you think is the most important thing about Wushi?"
Luo Lan thought seriously for a while and replied: "Qualification and character."
Ai Ling nodded and said, "Yes, it is aptitude and character, which directly determine the income of those who understand the stone. However, the whole sect and the disciples of all generations have almost forgotten another, more important thing."
Luo Lan couldn't figure out what was going on, so he could only listen attentively.
"No matter how good your aptitude and temperament are, it is useless if you don't know how to express them. Although Tianshi is a natural creature, it will not follow anyone who has the same mind. Not everyone can know the other person exactly when they get close. What are you thinking about? Only your performance in the process of enlightening the stone is the basis that truly determines how far a person can go at that time and place. If his words and deeds are inconsistent, or hesitant about himself and loses his enterprising spirit, he will naturally be unable to move forward. But nowadays, the great road can often not be found by forging ahead with determination. Blindly brave and foolhardy people can only get danger, not opportunities. Just facing the temptation of the great road, no one will think of this, not even me... "
Luo Lan chewed on what Ai Ling said. Even though she had already experienced Shi Wu, she was shocked by the content, especially the unfinished sentence at the end.
But then she reacted and said in surprise: "So, junior sister, she..."
Ai Ling nodded and said: "She can definitely go far because she has a pure heart."
Luo Lan's body trembled, and then he seemed to think of something, with surprise in his eyes.
Seeing Luo Lan's performance, Ai Ling nodded with satisfaction. With such a big heart and magnanimity, Ai Ling was worthy of being her top disciple.
…
…
The top of the main peak.
Xu Mushan was on the center line connecting the two sky stones, and had already taken twelve steps towards the sky stones.
These twelve steps are only counted from within the range of the rhythm of the sky stone. After all, given the size of the peak, the entire center line can only accommodate one person per step, and can only accommodate a maximum of two hundred people, which means that the connection between the two sky stones is used as a separation. There can only be about a hundred people on each side of the line, but among those hundred people, at least seventy people can only stand outside the range of the rhythm of the sky stone.
For the disciples who truly understand the matter of Enlightenment, the only thing they really have to fight for at the beginning is the sixty positions. However, since the establishment of Qingyang Sect, there are only a few people who can take ten steps. Therefore, most of the disciples of the mountain sect, In the end, what they are fighting for is actually only those twenty positions. That is where their opportunity lies. As for those positions ten steps away, if you can go there, it depends on your ability. If you can't go, I'm sorry, this position is what I want. Yes, first come first served, last comers have to fight.
Chen Ying clenched his hands tightly, loosened them slightly, and then clenched them suddenly. Seeing Xu Mushan take twelve steps, it seemed that he was not exhausted yet. He immediately stopped waiting and strode forward.
