In the void, all the runes gradually emitted bright light, and the teleportation circle was completed.
Calculating the time, it only took two breaths of effort in total.
Every moving array in the frontline position was built by the Holy Dao Sect who was good at formations. The construction of each moving array took dozens of days, and seven or eight monks were used at the same time.
Comparing the two, there is simply a world of difference.
The rune flashed.
The figures of the boatman and Gu Qingshan quickly disappeared.
Glazed tiles. Red brick wall.
The city towers are stacked on top of each other, with painted pillars and carved beams.
The Hundred Flowers Imperial City is as gorgeous as a palace in the sky.
In the imperial city, there is a huge green jade screen. If a person of ordinary height stands under the screen, it is less than three-thirds of the height of the screen.
In front of the green jade screen, Gu Qingshan and the boatman appeared.
A palace maid came over holding a long scroll and saluted the boatman.
"Is this the person who will be on the sword list today?" the palace maid asked.
"Yes." said the boatman.
"Only one today?" the palace maid continued to ask.
"Those people's sword intentions are not correct. If they are put into the palace, they will not be able to do anything. They will only pollute the aura here." The boatman said.
"Okay, I've brought the people, you can figure it out." After the boatman finished speaking, he disappeared.
The palace maid seemed to be used to this scene, she turned to Gu Qingshan and said: "Are you here to pick up the sword list?"
"Exactly." Gu Qingshan quickly saluted.
The palace maid looked at him and saw that he was well-groomed, his eyes were bright and lively, and his attitude was respectful, so she was somewhat satisfied.
"That's alright." The palace maid took out an incense burner and lit a stick of incense.
She handed the scroll in her hand to Gu Qingshan and said: "You go in, if you can pass the test within one stick of incense, you will be qualified to be on the sword list."
Gu Qingshan was startled and asked: "The boatman has already tested me twice. Is there still another test?"
The palace maid said: "Yes."
"Oh well."
Gu Qingshan nodded.
Another test.
I haven't seen the sword list yet, it's already the third test.
If it were any other swordsman with a bad temper, he might be a little unhappy at this moment, and he might even complain and get angry.
But Gu Qingshan was quite patient when it came to moving reinforcements.
Not to mention, he was reborn, and he knew the temperament of Baihua Fairy in his previous life.
Gu Qingshan silently took the scroll and poured spiritual power into it.
Snapped.
The scroll fell to the ground, and Gu Qingshan was nowhere to be seen.
The palace maid picked up the scroll, placed it on a mahogany table, and murmured softly: "My temperament is not bad."
In the picture scroll.
A scholar stood opposite Gu Qingshan.
The scholar bowed to Gu Qingshan politely and said: "My sword skills are passed down from my family. Most monks can't even parry, but I feel there are still some shortcomings. You can Take a look and help find the problem."
"Please." Gu Qingshan returned the greeting.
"Then I'll start. Don't worry, I will compress the spiritual power into the seventh level of Qi Refining to make it easier for you to take action." The scholar said.
"Thank you." Gu Qingshan said.
The scholar smiled and took out a sword.
He pulled out the long sword, and his whole demeanor suddenly changed.
Crazy roars came from the scholar's mouth.
"Kill, kill, kill! Kill everything in the world!"
The long sword suddenly moved, and the scholar's figure was submerged in the pouring sword energy.
The scholar and his sword turned into crazy afterimages and quickly approached Gu Qingshan.
"Wind Slash."
Gu Qingshan stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the air, and the sharp-edged iron sword was held in his hand.
The boatman walked so fast that he didn't even take back his iron sword.
——Perhaps he stayed on purpose because he liked it.
"The fifth form of Kaishan!"
Gu Qingshan shouted softly, swung his long sword, and slashed straight from top to bottom.
The Mountain Opening Sword Technique is heavy and slow, but the scholar's sword is as fast as an afterimage, which can't even be seen clearly.
One slowly, one quickly, the two swords suddenly collided.
Bang!
The scholar flew backwards with his long sword, hit the wall, and rolled to the ground.
"Strange, why is that?" The scholar's face showed no sign of frustration, but instead he became excited.
Gu Qingshan lowered his sword and said: "As far as my experience with swords is concerned, I think there is only one move in swordsmanship."
The scholar was surprised: "There is only one move? Which one?"
Gu Qingshan said: "The move that could kill people at that time."
"At that time...it could kill people."
The scholar chewed and repeated slowly.
"That's right, you have too many sword moves at the same moment. Although the opponent will be dazzled by this, your flaws will also increase exponentially." Gu Qingshan explained patiently.
These are the swordsmanship insights that Gu Qingshan gained at the cost of blood in numerous battles with demons and narrowly escaped death.
In order to save Gongsun Zhi and Ning Yuechan, and in order to survive himself, he must show off his swordsmanship talent to the fullest.
Fairy Baihua has the highest vision in the world.
As a Great Sword Immortal, Gu Qingshan's vision and experience go without saying. Although there is still a gap between him and a saintly monk like Baihua Fairy, he is still close to Baihua Fairy.
At present, the system seal has been released, and Gu Qingshan's swordsmanship has been restored, but many sword techniques require soul power to awaken.
This is also the system's way of protecting him.
Some extremely powerful sword techniques, even if you think about them in a vacuum, are a kind of damage to Gu Qingshan's soul in the Qi Refining Realm.
The level of cultivation is too low to withstand this kind of damage, so we can only take it step by step.
The scholar stood for a while and waved his sword again.
This time, his sword was much slower.
Each move is still as fast as lightning, but there is only one move at the same time.
The number of sword techniques used decreased, and the power of the sword immediately increased significantly.
Be concise, crisp, and go all out.
The momentum of the long sword gradually became sharper and sharper.
While performing the sword technique, the scholar murmured: "Wrong, wrong. It turns out that I have been pursuing speed and complexity, and even the direction is wrong."
Gu Qingshan looked at it, stepped forward with his long sword, and exchanged dozens of moves with him.
"drink!"
The scholar shouted loudly and suddenly sheathed his sword.
He bowed solemnly and expressed his thanks: "Fellow Taoist's words made me suddenly enlightened. From my point of view, you have passed."
"Thank you." Gu Qingshan returned the greeting with cupped hands.
Outside the scroll, the palace maid seemed to be aware of it, and said with a chuckle: "This set of vacuum electric chops has some people slowing down to use it, which is quite ingenious."
She looked at the incense stick and saw that less than 10% of it had burned down.
Only then did the palace maid really become interested.
She continued to look at the scroll.
In the scroll, the scholar nodded and his figure gradually faded away.
Another monk appeared in front of Gu Qingshan.
This is a monk, holding a long sword and looking confused.
"My question is to ask Jian Xin." The monk stared at the sword in his hand blankly and said.
"Please." Gu Qingshan said.
"Killing all sentient beings with a sword will cause them to enter reincarnation, but they will not eliminate their delusions and obsessions. Instead, they will be the cause of future cause and effect."
"If that's the case, why don't you kill all living beings? Why don't you use a sword?"
"May I ask the donor, how do people who use swords deal with themselves?" the monk asked.
good question!
Gu Qingshan's face straightened.
If this issue is circumvented, it will destroy the Taoist mind.
The two of them stood talking peacefully, which was actually more dangerous than killing everyone in and out of a group of demons.
If Gu Qingshan is shaken by the question, his Taoist heart will also be broken.
If a person who practices Taoism has even his Taoist heart broken, his practice will stagnate and he will no longer be able to make any progress.
