Gao Yunmian arranged a place for Li Xiuping, and the Night Travel Division was responsible for the food and daily living at the Sword Washing Pond, because Li Xiuping and others had to wait for people from the academy, and also helped the Sword Master forge swords, so they had to stay in the capital. a period of time.
As soon as Li Xiuping settled in, the girl came directly to his door. Gao Yunmian didn't know the relationship between these people and Li Xiuping, so it was naturally difficult to stop them. After confirming that these people really knew Li Xiuping, he had no choice but to give it to these people. Accommodation was also arranged.
Li Xiuping did not have much contact with the girl and her group, but found a secluded place and prepared to forge swords.
To cast an immortal sword, the most important thing is naturally the materials needed for the sword. Li Xiuping had collected a lot of them before, and with the background of the entire sword washing pool, this was not a problem.
Many sword cultivators and guardians were sent to the Sword Washing Pond to prohibit anyone from disturbing Li Xiuping. Many people who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to have a relationship with Li Xiuping were rejected.
During this period, apart from the continuous good news coming from the north, not much happened. However, a lot of actions were made on the Xijianchi side, almost all of which were aimed at Taiyi Sect.
As time went on, the academy quickly entered the capital, and those Confucian disciples who had entered the capital before also began to take action, giving the originally peaceful capital an undercurrent.
In this regard, the Night Travel Division responsible for the security of the capital seemed to have no idea what to do and what to do. As for the people of the capital, they really couldn't find anything.
At this moment, Qi Wenxing and the Sword Master were standing side by side. In front of them was where Li Xiuping was forging his sword.
Qi Wenxing smiled and said: "I didn't expect that you, my senior brother, would get it first before I could get the sword he forged." The sword master said with a smile: "You have already returned home, and you still want it. It's a bit greedy. Besides, you are his senior brother, so you can make swords with him anytime, anywhere?" Qi Wenxing shook his head and said: "It's not like you don't know that my junior brother can't stay in the academy, and as soon as I leave, others will It’s really not easy to find it.” The sword master smiled and nodded.
Qi Wenxing then asked: "Is there any movement over at Taiyimen?" The Sword Master shook his head and said: "Not yet, but there is some movement over at Kunlun Mountain." Qi Wenxing was startled.
The Sword Master continued: "Of course, they are not here for us. It seems that they themselves are in trouble." Qi Wenxing frowned and said: "At this time, is there anyone who can cause trouble to Kunlun Mountain?" The Sword Master said with a smile: " The Kunlun Mountains are not the only ones in the Three Mountains, and we are not the only ones who have enmity with the Taoists." Qi Wenxing asked: "Qingqiu?" The sword master nodded and said: "The queen of Qingqiu Mountains made a lot of noise this time, but It wouldn't be a problem to start a war directly. After all, there are demons watching from all sides, so it should just be a containment." Qi Wenxing nodded and said: "This is enough. This trip will be much easier without Kunlun Mountain's intervention." The sword master nodded, but He said with some worry: "But the matter of Tianchan Temple has been spread now, and those guys believe it so much that it is a big trouble." Qi Wenxing sighed: "This is the case for everyone in the world, what is the truth, for them , in fact, it doesn’t matter. As long as many people say that, then it is the truth. These people have always only cared about whether they can make a profit, or even if there is no profit, they will go with the flow. They only need someone to mobilize their Emotionally, as long as someone stands behind them, they will be happy to destroy a beautiful thing, to destroy an existence that they could only look up to." The sword master said bitterly: "Your uncle was the same three hundred years ago. To put it this way, the masses don’t need wisdom, so someone who can lead the masses to destroy a country and change dynasties with just one shout, to put it nicely, this means that everyone is adding fuel to the flames, but to put it badly, it is just a bunch of rabble.” Qi Wenxing smiled and said: "The heaven and the earth are unkind, and treat all things as dumb dogs. The saints are unkind, and treat the people as dumb dogs..." He looked at Qi Wenxing, and continued: "The people are unkind, and they also regard the saints as dumb dogs. Although we have gone on a journey The path of spiritual practice is truly transcendent from the secular world, so you have to be careful in dealing with this kind of power, otherwise it is not impossible to accidentally get your shoes wet and capsize the boat." The sword master said indifferently: "It's not like that. Let's face it." When he said this, he looked at Li Xiuping's position and continued: "As for him, I'm afraid he doesn't care at all." Qi Wenxing smiled bitterly: "If he really cared, he wouldn't have cared before. Intervening in the fight between the two countries, since he can intervene in this war, then the power of the people in the world who are united as one will naturally be unable to defeat him." The sword master smiled and said: "With all the people united as one, it is not necessarily the case. The three hundred years of your academy I don't believe that planning has no effect at all." Qi Wenxing said with a smile: "As expected of the senior sword master, he really has a sharp eye." The sword master waved his hand and said: "I really don't dare to take it seriously in front of you, Mr. Qi. "Qi Wenxing said with a smile: "In addition to the layout of the academy, there is also the influence of the senior Jiuxian, so all living beings in this world are indeed a terrifying force, but this kind of power can also be used by me; and I always feel that Well, this world is treating me, my little junior brother, in a small way." The sword master was startled.
Qi Wenxing continued: "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all creatures are nothing but ants. In front of us, the world's people are nothing more than ants, but under heaven and earth, we are also ants. We may have been dissatisfied before, but this time the demons invaded, we realized that heaven and earth are not ours." After seeing the heaven and earth, I realized that in front of the real immortal, I can't wait to be dispensable. If I want to transcend the rules of heaven and earth, it is really..." He did not continue to say, but looked up at the sky.
The sword master frowned and said, "This is not like you, Mr. Qi. Aren't you the one who is the most unruly?" Qi Wenxing looked back and said with a smile: "Even if it is really a shackle, even if it is really a cage, we still have to break a few of them. , I also need to see the scenery outside this cage." The Sword Master smiled and said: "That's right." Qi Wenxing smiled bitterly and said: "Do you think people like us are hateful?" The Sword Master was stunned. He frowned and said: "Where to start?" Qi Wenxing said: "Obviously I am protected by the rules of heaven and earth, but I want to break the rules of heaven and earth and transcend the world." The sword master also looked up at the sky, nodded and said: "Monk Isn't that the case? Isn't it all for that glimmer of hope?" Qi Wenxing sighed: "On this matter, Taoism is still clear. We Confucians have too many rules and they are all restricted. What we can see, It's just the various situations in the world that are based on the principles in this book." The Sword Master asked: "Is that why you, Mr. Qi Da, are so unruly?" Qi Wenxing smiled and said: "Sir, it is important to respect teachers and respect the Tao. , but if the disciple doesn’t want to surpass the master or the saint, then the most he can do is to walk the path that his predecessors have taken. It’s not pointless, but it doesn’t mean much.” The sword master nodded and said: “Master Liu Shan He has seen it thoroughly, and he deserves to be a saint in this world." Qi Wenxing nodded and said: "Sir, I am not good at fighting, but the principles are indeed not bad." The sword master curled his lips and said: "If you Confucians are like you, you can speak and fight, then what? Awesome." Qi Wenxing said with a smile: "Actually, I'm not very good at fighting. The only one who can really fight is my little junior brother." The Sword Master said bitterly: "Originally, I still had some achievements, but I was treated like this by you. Say, hey, I, the so-called sword master, am worthless." He sighed: "It's really unlucky. I was born in the same era as you two brothers and sisters. It's impossible for me to shine. But if I'm not in the same era, In this era, I'm afraid there will be a lot of regrets. Sure enough, it is more difficult to cultivate the heart than to cultivate the mind." Qi Wenxing said: "So the junior brother needs to be alone to face the entire world." The sword master was stunned for a moment, then nodded. : "That's it." After the words fell, a sword energy shot up from the front, straight into the sky, and dispersed all the sea of clouds.
The two people said almost at the same time: "It's done." The sword energy just appeared, with a magnificent momentum, but soon disappeared out of thin air, and then thunder continued to gather, and then they saw a long sword slowly rising into the air, facing the Those running thunder are eager to try.
Qi Wenxing said to the Sword Master: "Congratulations, senior, there is hope for overcoming the tribulation." The Sword Master smiled and said: "It is indeed a good sword!" A voice said: "Senior, please give me a name." The Sword Master looked at the thunder and lightning in the sky like a dragon. , staring at the sword with eager eyes, as if he wanted to devour the sword directly. However, the sword showed no timidity in the face of such a mighty existence. The sword rolled over and said: "Let's kill the dragon." Right." As soon as the words came out, two words appeared out of thin air on the sword, and then the majestic sword intention also restrained itself. Those thunder and lightning seemed to have seized the opportunity, and finally fell, constantly impacting on the long sword.
Forged by these thunder and lightning, the sword not only was not destroyed by the raging thunder and lightning, but became stronger and stronger. No matter how the thunder and lightning struck, it was just absorbed by the sword. When all the thunder and lightning dissipated, the world Then he regained his clarity, only the sword was hovering in mid-air, its light glowing.
As soon as the sword master raised his hand, the sword flew into his hand. The sword master held the sword in his right hand and flicked the sword lightly with his left hand. The sword roared like a dragon's roar.
The sword master laughed and said: "Today I will take advantage of the situation to overcome the calamity and become a saint." After saying that, he held the long sword and kept raising his body.
Above, the sky seemed to be provoked, and the thunderclouds that had dispersed gathered again, forming a huge whirlpool.
Qi Wenxing frowned and said, "Can't you change the time and place?" Although he said this, he said loudly: "All Confucian disciples obey the order and form a formation to protect the capital." After the words fell, one after another figures continued to rise in all directions of the capital. In the sky, they each took their positions. Golden energy appeared one after another and connected with each other. The world was suddenly filled with awe-inspiring righteousness.
In just such an instant, the entire capital city was enveloped by a golden barrier. In the sky above, the saint of the Sword Sect, holding a long sword, walked into the huge whirlpool and achieved the state of a saint...
