Just when Yanxuan was shocked and intoxicated by the phoenix sword dance, Li Jian was also listening to the teachings of his senior in Muxiu Peak, beside the purple bamboo forest.
Li Jian used the sword completely, and the more than ten feet of sword seedling that surged out with the sword was no less sharp than his Green Bamboo Spirit Sword itself. Li Jian saw that Fairy Leng Yue was fascinated, Then he showed this sword to this senior several times.
It wasn't until Fairy Leng Yue nodded that Li Jian retracted his figure and stood solemnly in front of Fairy Leng Yue again.
"How did you get this sword?" Fairy Leng Yue asked.
"In desperation, I used this sword unintentionally. The younger generation was also very surprised after that. Later, I encountered strong enemies one after another and used it in several crises in succession. But then... I did it deliberately several times, but I didn’t expect that I could handle this sword with ease. Speaking of which, this junior is still a bit surprised.”
Fairy Leng Yue nodded, stretched out her hand and took out two green bamboo branches from Li Jian and inspected them carefully.
"Well, these two bamboos seem to be a bit better than before."
"Yes, thanks to the gift of books from seniors, we really found a spiritual spring water this time when we went out. These two green bamboos have already bathed in the clear spring water."
"It is said that places with spiritual spring water are generally rich in spiritual energy. You probably achieved this breakthrough after practicing there for a while."
"That's right. There were many monsters guarding the spiritual spring water. We also experienced a fierce battle and were exhausted after repelling them. Then we practiced for a while."
Fairy Lengyue returned the two green bamboos to Li Jian and said: "Ordinary swordsmen also have a similar sword, which is very similar to the sword you just used, but their similar sword styles are not easy to obtain. Although you got it unintentionally, you got it in a crisis, but you seemed to have realized this sword earlier than the other monks in Mu Xiufeng."
Li Jian recalled the scene when he used this sword for the first time against a demonic insect, and said: "Senior, when I used this sword for the first time, I was being forced back by the demonic insect. Originally, I had not practiced it. It is impossible for a flying sword to hit the demonic insect, but at that time it seemed that the spiritual sword in my hand was connected with my mind, and this sword seemed natural, but in fact it was used beyond my expectation."
"Perhaps," the cold-blooded fairy said in a deep voice, "Maybe it has something to do with the fact that your green bamboos have been bathed in the spiritual spring water? In my opinion, your two green bamboos have improved a lot compared to before. Alas, speaking of it, it is impossible to turn things into objects. The sword technique is too rare, and I don’t know much about it. But next time, if you can find another spiritual spring outside the sect and bathe in your green bamboo, if you have new harvests, then It’s a great thing for you.”
Li Jian nodded after hearing this. He had also considered this about the acquisition of this sword. Now Senior Leng Yue also said the same. From this point of view, he should tell Brother Qian that wherever there may be spiritual spring water Still have to take a look.
"Okay, one more thing. I saw you dancing with the sword today. Later I found out that you had the intention to kill again and again, and then extinguished the intention to kill again and again. It seemed that you were tempering your will. Did you meet me outside? Whatever it is, you might as well talk about it and listen to it.”
Li Jian also had this intention. He faced the evil sword for the first time outside. Until now, he didn't have a good way to deal with the evil sword. He could just take this opportunity to ask this senior for advice, so he put it outside the sect. He told Fairy Leng Yue everything in detail, especially the battle between him and the monk who used the evil sword.
After hearing what Li Jian said, Fairy Lengyue looked at the young man quietly. She knew what Li Jian wanted to know, which was how a sword cultivator should deal with an evil cultivator.
Unfortunately, the answer Fairy Lengyue can give may not satisfy him, and may even be quite dangerous for him.
"Li Jian, I remember the last time I gave you the book "Heart-Shaped Objects" and I told you that I killed an evil cultivator when I was building my foundation. The evil cultivator was also a sword cultivator. Do you still remember? ?"
"Junior remembers." Li Jian naturally remembered, but Senior Leng Yue did not explain the detailed process of killing the evil cultivator that time.
"Actually, there were several times later when I followed the sect's orders and went out to kill some evil cultivators. Well, these subsequent times were all after I formed the elixir," said Senior Lengyue. He glanced at Li Jian and said, "You might as well take a guess. For me, which time is the most dangerous time to face an evil cultivator?"
"This..." Li Jian had not thought of this question, but based on his own speculation, he had a vague answer. "Is it possible that the first time the senior faced the evil cultivator was the most dangerous one?"
"Well, that's about it. The first evil cultivator I faced was a sword cultivator. At that time, I was somewhat lacking both in experience and cultivation, so that was the most dangerous one. There were several times later when the sect sent me I went out to deal with some evil cultivators, and some of them were sword cultivators. Although it was a bit dangerous those few times, I finally killed them. You might as well guess again, what method I used to kill these Where are the sword cultivators among the evil cultivators?"
"This..." How could Li Jian guess? But there seemed to be a vague idea in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it out. "Junior, I really can't guess it. Senior, please make it clear."
"Alas," Fairy Leng Yue saw in her eyes and roughly understood that this young man seemed to have guessed something. "The first time was the most dangerous because I was forced by the evil cultivator to almost have no way out, and I suffered many injuries. , I was almost at the end of my rope. At that time, there was only one thing I could think about, which was to kill that person. What do you think could happen?"
"Senior...could it be...!"
"Yes, you guessed it, I used a method of sacrificing myself to become a demon to kill that evil cultivator!" Fairy Leng Yue said lightly.
"What...!" Li Jian was shocked!
The night wind blew by, the bamboo forest swayed gently, and the sky was dotted with stars. In such a pleasant night scene, Li Jian only felt a chill rising up in his body, and couldn't help but shiver!
Surrender yourself to the devil! That is letting yourself fall into the devil's way. Li Jian doesn't know whether it can improve his combat power. But if he can't regain his clarity after falling into the devil's way, he will sink into his endless desire to kill and be unable to extricate himself. His behavior will be erratic, Bloodthirsty, cruel and violent, in that case, he would end up either wandering in pain in a mountain of corpses or a sea of blood, or be killed by another monk.
"How is that possible!" Li Jian murmured.
"How is it impossible?" Fairy Leng Yue said. "So far, I have used the method of sacrificing myself to become a demon four times. Three times, I killed a sword cultivator, and once I killed an evil spirit whose cultivation level far exceeded mine. Xiu, every time I faced a strong enemy, was seriously injured, and knew that there was no hope of victory, I had no choice but to use it after weighing it. Alas, every time I was possessed by the devil, it was extremely dangerous, and I asked myself that I no longer have the courage to use it again."
Li Jian didn't speak. He looked at the senior in front of him quietly and listened to her continue.
"You ask me how to deal with evil cultivators. In my opinion, as long as you are not lazy in your practice, you will always have a way to kill evil cultivators. After all, we sword cultivators are the best at fighting in the world of practice. But If that evil cultivator is also a sword cultivator, then he is almost risking his life. Facing the evil cultivator who is a sword cultivator, we sword cultivators often cannot take advantage. If possible, it is best to join forces with others. Kill him, and if you are facing him alone and don’t want to let him go, then sacrificing yourself to become a demon is the last resort.”
"But...after becoming a demon, even if I can win, how can I return my mind to clarity?" Li Jian asked.
"Well, this is the key, otherwise it will be a situation where one demon kills another demon. Hum, there is still one demon left in the end. What should we do?" Senior Leng Yue said this with a smile on his face. Now, think about when you first entered the sect, each sect selected disciples, do you still remember our Mu Xiufeng’s criteria for selecting disciples?”
"It's not about qualifications, it's about determination." Li Jian said.
"That's right. If a person with a weak will is possessed by a demon, he will naturally fall into it and be unable to extricate himself."
"That is to say, if a swordsman becomes a demon, he can return to a clear mind on his own, right?"
"No, some sword cultivators dare not use this method throughout their lives. In the final analysis, our sword cultivators are the ones practicing the most recent demonic path. If those who are not strong-willed practice swordsmanship, they may fall into the demonic path. There is no need to sacrifice one's life to become a demon. , A strong will is the first and most important condition for becoming a sword cultivator, but only those with an unwavering will can return to Qingming after becoming a demon. The purpose of becoming a demon is to greatly improve one's combat power and kill powerful enemies. The most difficult thing is in this During the process, you have to keep a little clarity in your heart, and then you can break free from it.”
"So that's it, becoming a demon is just to kill the demon." Li Jian said.
Fairy Lengyue said: "You are right, becoming a demon is just to kill the demon. Now back to your question, you ask me how to deal with evil cultivators, but I can't give you any good way. The best way seems to be to ask you Work hard on cultivation, improve your cultivation, and temper your will. Only in this way can you have a better chance of winning when facing evil cultivators."
Li Jian nodded after hearing this.
"But you don't have to worry too much about the evil cultivator," Fairy Leng Yue changed the topic, "There are not many evil cultivators in the first place, and there are even fewer sword cultivators in the evil cultivators. They are much less than the orthodox sword cultivators. . In my opinion, the person you met is not even an evil cultivator, he can only be regarded as a dabbler who uses the evil sword as a treasure. Think about it, if a monk with a similar level of cultivation as you is holding an evil sword , how can you cope with it? You must be very afraid. Even if there is no evil sword in the hands of Qi Refining disciples who are much more advanced than you, how can you cope with it? I'm afraid you won't have any chance of winning if you don't fight hard. The cultivation level is much higher than yours You are much more sophisticated, and you still have an evil sword in your hand. How will you deal with it? You can only run away or fight to the death, right? When an ordinary disciple encounters something like you, it will definitely be a certain death situation. Even if you can't It's already good to be able to win and fight against it. It's already rare to be able to join forces with others to defeat it. Although that person didn't die in your hands in the end, this experience is precious to you. Very, well, the method you used when facing that person seemed to me to be quite right. Besides..."
Speaking of this, Fairy Lengyue emphasized her tone.
"The other thing is that when you danced the sword today, you used a method to break free from your own murderous intention again and again. I think it is very good. This is also a good way to temper your will. If you have such a murderous intention in the future, If you have experienced something, you might as well think about it over and over again, it will naturally be beneficial to you.”
"yes."
"Also, the method of sacrificing one's life to become a demon, I told you today, and it is not for you to use in the future. This method is a forbidden technique for our sword cultivators, and it is the same for all sword cultivators. Today I just want to let you know that there is This method, and what you have to do is to temper your will repeatedly in the future, unless...unless it is a life-or-death situation, with nothing to rely on and no way to go, you may give it a try, but if you fall into the devil from now on, there is no way I will personally I’m going to kill you with my sword, remember?”
"Yes, this junior has remembered it!"
