The people hanging in the air around them all held their breaths, their eyes flashing with horror, shock, and surprise.
"Bishui Sword." The old man surnamed Qin looked at it quietly.
"This sword is very extraordinary." The man in black robes who spoke first said slowly.
Mr. Er looked at this man and asked, "Do you have a name?"
"A poor monk is a nobody." The man in black robe took off his robe and hat, revealing a bald head with nine scars.
The second gentleman said: "From Florida?"
The black-robed monk said: "From Daguangming Temple."
"Take my sword?" Mr. Er asked.
The black-robed monk shook his head, "No need."
The second gentleman raised his eyebrows slightly, "No need?"
The black-robed monk said: "If you strike with your sword, the poor monk will die or not. It's not worth it."
Mr. Er stared at the black-robed monk and did not believe what the monk said.
"Are you here to confirm the existence of the Heaven and Earth Sword?" Mr. Er asked.
The black-robed monk nodded, "Buddhism has always respected the dean. No matter what happens in the future, Buddhism will not take the initiative to take action against Suzaku Academy."
Mr. Er said thoughtfully, "Do you want to return to the Central Plains?"
The black-robed monk shook his head, "It's not the Central Plains, but the nineteen states in the world!"
"Buddhists are too arrogant." An old man in black robe sneered.
The black-robed monk looked puzzled: "Isn't your goal the nineteen states in the world?"
The expression of the old man in black robe who had just spoken suddenly froze, and he was speechless.
Indeed, those who appear here at this time are basically doing it for the nineteen states in the world, or for the invincible position.
"Who still wants to try the sword?" Mr. Er glanced at the people around him.
"..."
For a moment, no one dared to answer.
They are all old monsters who have lived for more than a hundred years. Many of them have recognized the sword in the second gentleman's hand and know that it was the sword that the dean once wore.
The sharpness is secondary. The key is that it may contain the dean's sword intention.
Those who don't know this sword have just witnessed Duan Wanshan's tragic situation with their own eyes. If they don't have absolute certainty, they will naturally not show up at this moment.
"Suzaku Academy is not afraid of any challenge." Mr. Second said calmly, "However, I hope that the person who will eventually challenge me at Suzaku Academy is the senior who can replace my master and become the number one person in the Nineteen States."
The black-robed monk stared at the second gentleman and said slowly: "What the second gentleman means is that the Suzaku Academy will not participate in the subsequent changes in the Nineteen States?"
The other old guys standing in the air were all staring at the second gentleman with burning eyes.
Mr. Er waved his sword and said, "Suzaku Academy welcomes any challenger; any provocateur will be punished!"
After the words fell, the second gentleman swung his sword forward.
The green sword light streaked across the ruins of the Gusha clan. The entire ruins were immediately split into two, and a deep ravine like an abyss appeared.
Everyone held their breath, knowing that this was a sword that was truly used to establish authority.
"This sword has the demeanor of the dean." The black-robed monk admired.
"It's a pity that it's not a sword from heaven and earth." Lao Tianji, who was hiding in the distance, shook his head secretly. This sword was indeed very strong, but it was not enough to scare everyone.
In particular, the issuing of this sword also made many people understand the approximate extent of the Suzaku Academy's background.
Whether this is a blessing or a curse for Zhuque Academy is still unclear.
In the end, Chu Xiu failed to catch up with the big event caused by him. On the way there, he happened to meet Mr. Er who had returned to Suzaku Academy.
"You are indeed alive." Mr. Er saw a rare smile on his face when he saw Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu blinked, "Is it over?"
Mr. Er shook his head and said, "It's begun."
Chu Xiu was startled.
"Go back." The second gentleman said softly, "I plan to seal the mountain."
"Sealing the mountain..." Chu Xiu said thoughtfully in a low voice, "Is it because of the sword of heaven and earth?"
Mr. Er shook his head and stared at Chu Xiu, "It's because you haven't grown up yet."
Chu took a break.
Mr. Er came to the Tai Chi pattern stone slab at the feet of Chu Xiu, and the white clouds drifted towards Zhongzhou.
"No matter what changes will happen to the Nineteen States in the world in the future, you only need to understand one thing." Mr. Er looked down from a distance, "The only person who can really determine the future of the Nineteen States is the strongest person.
The so-called imperial power, the so-called hegemony... are not worth mentioning in the face of absolute strength. "
"I understand." Chu Xiu has always understood this truth.
Moreover, his training goal has always been to be the strongest!
"After you go back, practice hard." Mr. Er said, "Let go of your feelings between men and women first."
Chu Xiu's face turned red and he muttered: "That won't delay my cultivation."
"But it will affect your fighting spirit." Mr. Second said calmly.
Chu Xiu stopped talking.
Gentle Township, Tomb of Heroes.
He still understands this.
"Anyway, the beauties I care about are all in Suzaku Academy, and they can't escape even if they want to."
As Chu Xiu thought about it, the appearance of Queen An Lan suddenly appeared in his mind, and he was stunned for a moment.
Although the two had the closest relationship, until now, he still didn't understand whether he liked Queen Anlan or not.
From the perspective of whether he likes beauties or not, he naturally likes the very beautiful Queen Anlan.
But from the perspective of love and love, he couldn't be sure.
After all, the number of times he communicated with Queen Anlan was only twice.
Nowadays, Zhu Yourong is probably the only one he can really be sure he likes.
"Man, it's so hard."
Chu Xiu sighed with emotion.
The second gentleman squinted, and he knew without guessing that this guy must be thinking of some woman again.
"This alone is far worse than Master." Mr. Er said to himself.
Returning to Zhuque Academy, Mr. Er summoned all the academy disciples and teachers.
Chu Xiu stood under the statue of Master Chen Changsheng, showed his face, and announced that he was still alive.
He saw Zhu Yourong, Mo Shaoyun, Xia Chuxue and other women crying with joy, and felt a little warm in his heart.
However, he did not come forward to communicate.
"Next, Zhuque Academy will be closed for three years." Wang Quan, the second gentleman standing next to Chu Xiu, glanced at everyone in the square, "You have seven days to consider whether to Here, stay at Suzaku Academy, or return to your respective families."
As soon as the words fell, the square fell into silence.
Soon, uproar ensued.
Mr. Er is very ordinary and sealing the mountain has always been in his plan.
Although, he didn't want to do this.
He knew very well that this was a sign of weakness, which was not in line with the academy's style when the master was still there.
Facing the upcoming changes in the general trend, he can only do this to preserve the heritage of Suzaku Academy to the greatest extent.
The discussion died down.
"You don't need to have any psychological burden." Mr. Second said, "If you want to leave, just leave. After three years, if you still have the desire to study, you can come back."
"..."
Many people asked questions, and Mr. Second answered them one by one.
He was very calm and clearly informed all the teachers and students that it was because of the master's departure that the mountain was temporarily closed.
At the end, all the teachers and students dispersed.
Chu Xiu and Mr. Er came to the top of the back mountain together. A group of back mountain gentlemen had gathered here for a long time.
"The same words are given to all junior brothers and sisters." The second gentleman said softly, "If you want to leave, there is no need to feel any psychological burden."
Chu Xiu curled his lips.
"Second brother, stop talking such nonsense." Zhao Wangsun complained, "Don't think I don't know. Among us, you are the only one who is most likely to leave."
Including the second gentleman, everyone looked at Zhao Wangsun.
Zhao Wangsun grinned, raised his eyebrows and said, "If Emperor Qian threatens you with his queen, are you sure you can remain indifferent?"
"..."
Except for Mr. Er, most of the other disciples had a strange look in their eyes.
Obviously, they all know who this second senior brother really is.
The second gentleman’s face was expressionless, and he held his right hand behind his back, clenching and loosening it several times in a row.
"Since no one is leaving," Mr. Second said, "then start practicing well from today on. As the senior brother of all of you, I will do my best to help you."
Zhao Wangsun's eyelids twitched, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the second gentleman continue to say, "The third child is not here, so I will help you, the fourth child."
"No need." Zhao Wangsun said quickly, "My cultivation is different from yours. You don't understand."
"I don't understand?" Mr. Er narrowed his eyes.
Zhao Wangsun laughed dryly, and the next moment he found that the second senior brother had appeared beside him, and his right hand directly pressed his shoulder.
Uh-huh!
The two figures disappeared at the same time.
Everyone looked at each other, and Chu Xiu complained in a low voice: "I thought the fourth senior brother was very strong, why are you so cowardly in front of the second senior brother?"
"Fourth Senior Brother is very tough. Second Senior Brother can't do anything to him with ordinary means." Mr. Eighth Qi Yi said with a smile.
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows lightly, "What are the fourth senior brothers afraid of?"
"Being tough doesn't mean winning." Mr. Eleven Yan Eleven said leisurely, "Second Senior Brother has quite a lot of ways to torture people.
In particular, he also likes to talk to you while fishing. "
Mr. Eight, Mr. Ten, and Mr. Twelve all nodded in agreement.
"Is fishing reasonable?" Chu Xiu looked confused and didn't quite understand.
"..."
…
Florida, Daguangming Temple.
The black-robed monk who had appeared at the ruins of the Gusha tribe in Wuzhou returned to Daguangming Temple. He sat cross-legged in the Guangming Hall and truthfully told the abbot and seven guardians of Daguangming Temple what he had seen and heard during his trip.
Finally, he added another piece: "On my way back, a news is spreading in the Central Plains: Chu Xiu, the Thirteenth Master of Zhuque Academy, has returned to Zhuque Academy."
When Buddhist disciples communicate with each other, they usually do not call themselves "poor monks", but refer to themselves as the common "I".
"Chu Xiu...According to the news from the Central Plains, the dean is very optimistic about him." Jiu Ci, the abbot of Daguangming Temple, said thoughtfully, "Suzaku Academy closed the gate, probably to wait for him to grow up."
"It takes at least fifty years for a young man to grow up, so there is nothing to be afraid of." The Dragon Subduing Protector of Daguangming Temple said calmly.
The black-robed monk shook his head and his expression turned solemn, "I don't think so. Chu Xiu's current strength is already terrifying.
After he fought the monster from the Gusha tribe, the Gusha tribe had been turned upside down and completely reduced to ruins. The monster was probably killed by him.
I even suspect that even at this moment, the strongest person in Suzaku Academy may not be the second gentleman, but Chu Xiu. "
"Is he so scary?" Abbot Jiuci was surprised.
The other guardians also looked at the black-robed monk.
The black-robed monk said: "Not only is he terrifying, he also has a magical gourd in his hand, which seems to be able to contain all things.
The blood of the Flame Demon in the Flame Demon Cave, the thunderous clouds in Cang Qiong Mountain, and the Ten Thousand Swords Heart-killing Formation in the Sword Pavilion were all put into the gourd by him. "
"..."
All the eminent monks at Daguangming Temple began to discuss in low voices.
Wait until it gets quiet.
"Since the abbot has ascended to heaven and left, Buddhism should return to the Central Plains." Abbot Jiuci said, "The original plan remains unchanged.
However, Mr. Thirteen cannot be allowed to grow up, otherwise even if Buddhism returns to the East, the future Chu Xiu may rush back to Florida again. "
The black-robed monk said: "Chu Xiu has a good friend, Huitong of Lingshan Temple."
"Huitong?" All the monks were startled.
The black-robed monk nodded slightly, "That's him."
"Buddha said: If I don't go to hell, who will?" Abbot Jiuci said softly, "I think Huitong will have this understanding."
The monks nodded.
In order to revitalize Buddhism, every Buddhist disciple should be prepared to sacrifice for Buddhism at any time.
No matter what the sacrifice is!
