The boatman looked at the sword in his hand and said:
"Yes, this sword is the saint's sword. Of course it is not a problem to kill a young dragon. As for you..."
"You dare to put yourself in the dragon's mouth and use that sword. That's pretty good."
Gu Qingshan cupped his hands and said, "Have we passed the test?"
The boatman said: "As long as you kill the dragon, you will pass. Now you can tell what ranking you two want to win."
Leng Tianxing thought for a moment and said, "I want to try to pick the ancient artifacts category."
The boatman clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful, it is indeed fate. You can get off the boat."
"Disembark?"
Leng Tianxing looked around and saw nothing but the mighty water around except the boat.
The boatman squatted down, picked up a floating and spinning willow branch from the water, and handed it to Leng Tianxing's hand.
"This is the underwater ruins left over from ancient times."
"In the prehistoric era a hundred thousand years ago, there was a decisive battle between the mountain god and the water god here, and they both died here in the end."
"This willow branch can keep you safe. Go down and find some authentic items from the ancient times."
Hearing what the boatman said, Leng Tianxing took the willow branch and pushed his spiritual power into it.
The willow branch stretched out, causing a giant hand to stretch out from the water, gently holding Leng Tianxing, and slowly retracting it.
"It's your turn," the boatman looked at Gu Qingshan, "What kind of list are you here to get?"
Gu Qingshan cupped his fists and saluted, saying: "I'll pick up the sword list."
"The sword list... If you can pierce the sword just now, I don't have to test it again. I can send you there directly."
The boatman held Gu Qingshan's shoulder with one hand and quickly kneaded it with the other hand.
The two disappeared directly from the boat.
…
Baihua Palace.
The boatman and Gu Qingshan appeared.
Gu Qingshan looked at the familiar scenes around him and sighed slightly.
In this timeline, he has never reached the territory of Baihua Sect.
——In my previous life, I joined the "Doomsday Online Demon King Sequence" much later than others and arrived in the world of practice.
The starting point is too low, even the most basic sword techniques are difficult to obtain, and the cultivation level is low, there is no chance to join the Hundred Flowers Sect to win the ranking.
He suddenly fell silent.
——Demon King Sequence!
In this timeline, when will the Demon King sequence come?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a woman dressed in palace makeup coming out from behind the huge green jade screen in front of her.
The palace maid came over holding a long scroll and bowed to 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 came to his senses and saluted.
The palace maid lit a stick of incense and handed the scroll in her hand to Gu Qingshan: "You go in. If you can pass the test within the time of one stick of incense, you will be qualified to win the sword list."
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: "I want to see what is special about the sword master chosen by Dijian himself."
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."
Gu Qingshan felt slightly relieved and took out the Earth Sword.
"How is it? Are the things that have happened to you the same as before?" Di Jian asked quietly.
"A lot of things have changed in the past, but here, I still met this scholar." Gu Qingshan responded.
"Is that so? Do you want to hide your strength? After all, your attainments in swordsmanship are too high. If you go too far and change things too much, will there be new problems?" Dijian asked.
"What are you worried about?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"I'm worried that you won't be able to join the Hundred Flowers Sect - you remember, if you want to find Tianjian, only Ling'er has the teleportation array of Huangyun Tiangong." Dijian said.
"...Yes, you must enter the Baihua Palace." Gu Qingshan agreed.
He thought for a moment.
——Do you want to hide your strength and let everything go over again as it was?
No……
Things are different now.
The idea that he holds the Earth Sword and is dubbed a "Third Generation Boy" is completely different from the other timeline.
At any time, Xie Daoling's vision is the highest in the world.
If you still stick to the old rules, you will not be noticed by the master, and you will not be able to worship the Hundred Flowers Sect——
Wouldn’t that make people laugh out loud?
Gu Qingshan made a decision in his heart, cupped his fists and said in return: "Please."
"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, and he rushed towards Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan held the Earth Sword and gently handed it forward.
when!
The scholar took a few steps back and looked at his hands in surprise.
——His sword was knocked away.
Gu Qingshan said: "It's too chaotic."
"What's so messy?" the scholar asked.
"Your sword moves are too messy. It's best to practice the basic sword skills again and don't think about it." Gu Qingshan said.
The scholar was stunned.
Gu Qingshan said calmly: "The most important thing about swordsmanship is to be able to break through the opponent's defense and kill the enemy with one blow, rather than 'everything in the world is invincible' - that is all nonsense."
The scholar picked up the sword and said unconvinced, "I would like to try it again."
"Come." Gu Qingshan said.
The scholar stretched out his figure, and the man and the sword instantly turned into blurred sword shadows, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
Gu Qingshan shook his head and stabbed with his sword.
when!
A sword flew out.
The scholar stood there, looking quite confused.
"Your sword is like your thoughts, there are too many and too complicated. In fact, just one thought is enough." Gu Qingshan said.
"What?"
"Kill the enemy."
"……It's that simple?"
Gu Qingshan said nothing and motioned for him to bow his head.
The scholar slowly lowered his head, only to see a sword mark on his heart.
"So that's it. I always pursue complexity and speed, but it seems I'm on the wrong track."
His figure gradually faded and disappeared.
Outside the scroll, the palace maid couldn't help but nodded slightly.
"He has a pure heart and a simple sword intention. Now I somewhat believe that he is a boy from the third generation..."
She looked at the incense stick and then it burned down a little bit.
In the scroll, the scholar nodded and his figure gradually faded away.
Gu Qingshan waited for a few breaths.
Another monk appeared in front of Gu Qingshan.
This is a monk.
He was holding a long sword and looked confused.
"My question is to ask Jian Xin." The monk stared at the sword in his hand blankly and said.
"Ask." 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.
It’s the problem again!
Gu Qingshan smiled.
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 you are shaken by the question, your Tao 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.
The monk paused and said with a smile on his face: "Over the past decades, I have collected sword intentions from all over the world, and finally came up with two answers."
"Please speak." Gu Qingshan said simply.
The monk waved his hand and said: "These are the opinions that sword cultivators have advocated in the past ten thousand years. The first one is, no matter what he does, I will kill him with one sword until I cut off a whole world and re-educate all living creatures. Everyone listens. I want it."
"The second theory is that practice is like sailing against the current, and the same goes for swordsmanship. Anyone who blocks my swordsmanship is my life-and-death enemy. Even God will kill you."
The monk bowed and said: "These two ways are the true meaning of sword cultivation. What does the donor say? Please give me an explanation."
Gu Qingshan smiled and said: "First of all, the statement that everyone has advocated in the past ten thousand years is just a statement; secondly, the so-called true meaning of sword cultivation——"
He Shishiran walked towards the monk.
"The sword in my hand is a saint's sword. If you touch it, you will die. Monk, be careful."
The long sword came out, and the sword energy turned into threads and instantly wrapped around the monk.
The monk's expression changed and he shouted: "I'm discussing Tao with you, why did you take action?"
He had just blocked a few blows, but he saw all the sword energy suddenly condensed into a moonlight.
——This is the secret sword!
The monk's hands and feet were in disarray and he had to resist with all his strength.
In an instant, the moonlight was like light smoke and mist, and even if the monk's sword came out like the wind, it could not resist it at all.
The monk suddenly froze.
Before he knew it, the sword was placed on his neck.
Gu Qingshan looked at him and asked: "Monk, now my sword can cut off your head with just one move. As for your statement, what's the use in front of my sword?"
The monk's face was complicated and he said, "But the truth is wrong."
"You can talk to me as you please, I am only responsible for killing you - you are all dead, and you will probably not come to me to reason with you again in the future." Gu Qingshan said.
"If you don't understand clearly, donor, even if you kill me, you still can't explain what the sword heart is." The monk said.
"I've already told you." Gu Qingshan said.
"What?"
"The sword is the truth."
The monk was stunned, and then said: "All the people in the world——"
"It's your business to kill people, don't blame your sword."
"The one who educates all living beings——"
"You're just a swordsman, can you teach me how to give birth to a child or how to marry a wife? I've never had such mysterious confidence."
"Those who block my swordsmanship——"
"Kill whoever you want, don't use Kenshin as an excuse, it's hypocritical."
The monk was speechless for a moment.
Outside the scroll, the palace maid suddenly pursed her lips.
"The girl chosen by the Earth Sword has a somewhat unusual bearing. It seems that she is indeed a sword cultivator."
She reached out and took out a misty communication talisman.
"This is a very good scolding for 'hypocrisy'. Old bald donkey, you try to block me with your words. I will block you back now and see how you respond."
The palace maid said, and with a push of spiritual power in her hand, the communication talisman suddenly turned into fire and flew towards the sky.
The palace maid's eyes flashed, and she said to herself: "This boy seems to have been killed among the monsters, but we have to wait and see what happened after he succeeded in taking the list."
She made a magic formula casually, and Gu Qingshan jumped out of the scroll.
"Is this passed?" Gu Qingshan asked.
The palace maid said: "Passed."
"Forget it, that monk still wants to use the sword to talk things over. I'm afraid if I keep talking and kill him with the sword, it won't look good." Gu Qingshan said naturally.
The palace maid suddenly felt very good and said with a smile: "Yes, there are so many sermons on the way to practice. It's actually better to kill with one sword. Originally, I had prepared a few tests, but now I have decided to let you have a try right away. Sword list.”
Gu Qingshan said happily: "Thank you very much!"
Dijian suddenly snorted in his heart and said, "I was worried just now that you wouldn't be able to enter the Baihua Palace again - tsk, I was really worried."
"What's wrong?" Gu Qingshan asked curiously.
"You two, master and disciple, are more tempered than the other. You are so incompatible with each other. How could you not get together?" Di Jian said.
