"The heart of the Tao is the human heart. The desire to seek the Tao for you and the thought of cultivation are like the collapse of faith. The collapse of the Tao heart can range from losing all cultivation and losing the ability to practice Tao, to the worst case, the body dies and the Tao disappears. This is the collapse of the Tao heart." Lu Zhu explained calmly, as if he was not the one whose Taoist heart collapsed.
"Then..." Lichou looked at Lu Zhu worriedly.
Lu Zhu waved his hand and said with a carefree smile: "It doesn't matter, life or death is determined by fate."
After the two of them sat down, Lu Zhu took out two wine glasses, filled them up and said with a smile: "I really drank this time...Li Chou, we can be considered friends, right?"
Lichou was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "Being able to become the friend of the Palace Master of the Xia Alliance is something I would never dream of doing."
Lu Zhu laughed and the two drank a drink together.
"Li Chou, do you want to hear my story?" Lu Zhu looked at the night sky and said with a lonely face.
Lichou was also very curious about what happened that made the Master of the First Palace of the Xia Alliance hesitate to seal up his memory, so he nodded.
Lu Zhu smiled and took a swig of strong wine from his glass before starting to tell.
Lu Zhu was born in the Chixia Domain of the Ancient Holy Continent. When he was only fifteen years old, his cultivation had reached the level of crossing the realm and breaking the human barrier. He liked swords and specialized in swordsmanship. He understood the meaning of the soft water sword and joined the Knights of the Xiamen League to travel. , hoe the strong and help the weak, and act chivalrously and righteously.
The so-called Knights of the League of Legends are not affiliated with the League of Legends, they have great freedom, and their chivalrous actions can receive a certain degree of help from the League of Legends in various places. To a certain extent, the Rangers of the League of Legends are the purest chivalrous people. However, It is not easy to get recognized by the League of Legends and become a Ranger of the League of Legends.
One day, he went to the back mountain of Shixia Village to find a place with abundant spiritual energy to practice. At sunrise, he clearly felt an extraordinary sword power. Lu Zhu was very curious about how such a small mountain village could have such a sword. I felt like it, so I followed the induction and found it.
In the end, it was discovered that it was a stone sword inserted next to the stone statue of the God of War enshrined in an ancient temple in the mountains. The sword was engraved with the word Shi Xia. If Lu Zhu had not happened to practice in the mountains and understood the sword's intention, he would not have been able to detect the sword's intention released by the stone sword.
Lu Zhu Xi Jian naturally tried to get Shi Jian's recognition. Only when the sun rises and sets, Lu Zhu can communicate with Shi Jian. However, Shi Jian is willing to communicate but has no intention of recognizing his master. Lu Zhu does not give up and continues to persevere.
Every day at sunrise and sunset, he proves himself to the spirit sword. If he makes too much noise, he is discovered by others.
The man was a resident of Shixia Village. When he saw such a big movement, he noticed that Lu Zhu was shining like an immortal descending to earth. He shouted to the immortal and immediately asked him to save his village.
After Lu Zhu learned about it, it turned out that the city lords of the towns above Shixia Village were constantly increasing taxes on each village. Shixia Village's harvest this year was not enough to pay the taxes, so they launched a protest, which received responses from many villages and began to boycott the high taxes.
Immediately, Shixia Village was raped, plundered, and burned down by thieves. The leader of the thieves, who did not hide his face at all, was the person who collected taxes every year.
After learning about it, Lu Zhu went to Shixia Village for verification and then went to the town angrily. As a knight of the Xia Alliance, he first went to the Xia Tang in the town to explain the situation and ask for verification.
After revealing his identity, Lu Zhu was greeted with a smile by the master of the Xia Hall. However, the master of the Xia Hall had long colluded with the city lord and secretly poisoned the inexperienced Lu Zhu.
Faced with the siege of both the city lord and the hero hall master, the poisoned Lu Zhu was in danger.
At this moment, the stone sword in the ancient temple at the back of Shixia Village began to crack and glow, and a long red sword flew out and shot towards Lu Zhu.
Seeing a flash of red light coming instantly, Lu Zhu did not panic. The sword intent had already told him very clearly who was coming.
The red long sword cut through Lu Zhu's arm, and the red long sword stained with Lu Zhu's blood completed the recognition of its owner.
The red sword is named Shi Xia. The reason why Lu Zhu has been rejected many times is because Shi Xia is a women's sword, so she has never accepted Lu Zhu. After all, it is very strange for a man to wear a women's sword.
With Shi Xia's help, Lu Zhu's strength increased greatly. He killed the city lord and the hero hall master and left calmly on the spot. After reporting the matter, the city lord and hero hall master were replaced and immediately began to rectify the atmosphere.
"This is the beginning of my acquaintance with her." Lu Zhu recalled after swallowing the strong drink.
"Is the object of your sealed memory Shi Jian Shi Xia?" Lichou asked.
Lu Zhu nodded, filled the glass with strong liquor again and said, "Yes, she is the important person in my heart."
"Then why do you want to forget her?" Lichou continued to ask.
A flash of pain flashed in Lu Zhu's eyes, and he sighed and continued: "After that, we traveled together in the Chixia Territory, killing all injustices. I entered the Tao with love, and my cultivation level increased rapidly. At the age of 50, I reached the level of the Heart Demon Tribulation and became the The number one swordsman in the Ancient Holy Continent at that time."
After Lu Zhu became the number one swordsman in the Ancient Saint Continent, he was quickly recruited by the Xiamen League. They wanted me to take over the position of the Lord of Dingluan Palace. After passing the test, he would serve as the Lord of Dingluan Palace. After he reached the strength of the Heart Demon Tribulation Spirit Sword Shi Xia has been able to transform into human form.
Lu Zhu entered Taoism with love. He fell in love with Shi Xia a long time ago but never expressed his feelings, and the same was true for Shi Xia.
As for why Lu Zhu didn't express his feelings, he was worried about being rejected. Secondly, once he expressed his feelings, Shi Xia, his sword, would be in an embarrassing situation.
And why Shi Xia didn't do it was because she thought she was just a sword, so what qualifications did she have?
Hundreds of years passed like this, and neither of them was revealed until that day.
Lu Zhu received a request for help from the deputy director of the Pingshuang Domain Branch of the Ancient Saint Continent. An evil cultivator appeared in Pingshuang Domain looking for a special physique to sacrifice for practice. The Pingshuang Domain Branch Minister led his troops to besiege him. He was defeated and was defeated. He was seriously injured, and died soon after due to strange injuries, so he could only ask for help from the Xia League headquarters.
After getting help, Lu Zhu was shocked. The head of the branch of Yiyu Xia Tang was almost among the top ten in the field. He led the troops to besiege and was completely wiped out. In the end, even the branch head died.
Nowadays, the evil cultivators are even more unscrupulous. Even the head of the Xia League branch was killed. People in the entire Pingshuang Domain are panicked. Some people join in if they can't defeat them. The evil cultivators are growing in power.
Therefore, Lu Zhu decided to set off for Pingshuang Domain immediately.
In this way, Lu Zhu set off after receiving Ping Shuangyu's request for help.
"Lu Zhu, will your subordinates treat you differently if you wear a women's sword like this? Do you want me to turn to stone and hide when I'm not in human form?" asked Shi Xia, the stone swordsman.
Lu Zhu smiled and looked in the direction of Ping Shuangyu and said: "Hahaha, no need, don't you always call me the 'female' palace master? Isn't it normal to use a women's sword? Let's go, we haven't gone on a mission for a long time. Already."
Later, Shi Xia accompanied Lu Zhu to the Pingshuang Domain through the teleportation array, but what happened next was beyond Lu Zhu's expectations and became the pain of his life.
