Now that everyone has left, there are only five of them left here.
Lu Pingchuan asked impatiently:
"Hey, Brother Li, it's time to say it now. You can obviously defeat that woman, so why do you have to save face for her in the end, as if it's a tie?"
Li Jian smiled and said:
"If we continue to fight, it will not be easy to defeat her, and it will probably damage her cultivation. After all, we are all Mu Xiufeng's classmates. No matter what resentment she has against me for whatever reason, it belongs to her. The matter has nothing to do with me. If I really cause great damage to her cultivation today and even end her future as a swordsman, then it is my business, and I still can’t bear to do it."
Broken cultivation? Ruined the future of swordsmanship?
When Li Jian said this, the other companions were even more confused, especially Lu Pingchuan, so he asked Li Jian to explain it in detail.
"Well, these are not my words, but the teachings of Senior Leng Yue. She once said that the biggest enemy of our sword cultivators is not the opponents with advanced cultivation levels we encounter, but our sword cultivators ourselves. Sword cultivators Unlike other monks, there is a danger of being possessed by demons after cultivating to a certain level. This is why we, Mu Xiufeng, focus on character of mind first when choosing disciples, rather than looking at spiritual roots. Although I don’t have the eyesight of Mu Xiufeng’s seniors, today I’m talking to When Yunxi fought, I could see that this woman was narrow-minded, short-tempered, and weak-willed. We all came all the way from Youming Valley, and after entering the sect, we passed by the seniors of each sect. Choice, but this Yunxi was not. Miss Tang said that she was from a big family, and Mu Xiufeng couldn't refute the Yun family's reputation, so he kept her, but it actually harmed her. With her character , if the cultivation level is higher, it will probably be harder to resist the inner demons. This is the case today. After I fought with her, I found that she was getting more and more crazy with her sword. She only had the desire to kill and nothing else in her heart. If we fight again If she goes on, she will completely sink into the devil, lose herself, and become murderous and bloodthirsty. The only way to free her is for me to give her a sword, but that is not what I want, not to mention that Miss Tang also said that she has a relationship with Bibotan. Elder Bai Gen is related, we can't take things to that point, alas, but this Yunxi will be in the future... forget it, let's talk about it in the future."
So that’s it!
Only then did a few people know that there was such a dangerous thing in the thrilling sparring just now.
Possession, what is that? Don't ordinary monks become possessed by demons?
"Be possessed by a demon, inner demon?" Lu Pingchuan asked, "What's going on?"
"Brother Lu, didn't Senior Kang tell you? You should have talked about the origin of your Houtu Temple's body cultivation and our Mu Xiufeng's sword cultivation, right?"
"Ah, this, as I said before, my master said that our body cultivation was not what it is now. It was after some kind of 'Thousand Year War' that body cultivation became body cultivation. It is no longer looked down upon by others. It seems that it is thanks to a surname. As for Meng’s ancestor, oh, by the way, my master also said that before the Thousand Years War, you sword cultivators didn’t exist, and you sword cultivators only existed after that, right?” (See Volume 4: Trial Yu , Fifty-eight: Blood into wine.)
"That's right," Li Jian said, "Not only physical training and sword training, but also Miss Tang's method of controlling beasts. It is said that before the 'Thousand Years War', we were very few in Central Continent. But after that war, these skills They all exist, but both physical cultivation and Miss Tang's spirit control skills did exist at the beginning, but they were not popular. Only sword cultivation did not exist in Central Continent. After the "Thousand Years War", Some people say that the cultivation methods left behind by the invading monks are not cultivation methods at all, but are just methods used by outside monks to raise demons and cultivate for them. As long as they practice with that method, the monks will lose their minds. , it only knows how to kill, but it is very powerful, which left a deep impression on the monks at that time. Later, they made changes according to that method, so that after people practice it, they can retain their power without losing their mind. This is the sword. It’s a good way to practice.”
Tang Ping nodded and said: "So that's it!"
Li Jian nodded and continued:
"Being born out of the devil's way, naturally there will be many marks of the devil's way. After practicing it, the monks felt that it was very good, so many people started to practice this method. However, people soon discovered its disadvantages, that is, after practicing to a certain level, , it is easy for people to lose their nature and become bloodthirsty when doing something, and once this happens, it is difficult to recover. This is the so-called demonization, which is what we swordsmen call the inner demon entering the body. Later, those seniors discovered that only those who practice this sword cultivation method have a firm will and a tough mind, and they will not or rarely become possessed by demons. This is also the origin of our Mu Xiufeng's criteria for selecting disciples, which only focus on the mind and not the mind. Qualifications.”
Yanxuan said: "So, if Yunxi continues to practice in Mu Xiufeng, he will definitely be in danger one day?"
Tang Ping said: "That should be the case. No wonder that senior Leng Yue refused to accept her as his disciple and drove her away after meeting her once. It turns out that she has no temperament for sword cultivation at all. It's a pity that Yun Xi is still holding back her temper. It’s just one breath!”
Qian Chao said: "It seems that many things cannot be forced. We are inherently deficient. If we don't change our ways, we will endanger ourselves and even cause harm to others."
Lu Pingchuan said: "Whatever, I don't like that woman anyway!"
Li Jian said again:
"However, Yun Xi and I both gained something from today's discussion. Well, Senior Leng Yue once said some things about Jian Xin Qingming. At that time, because of my low cultivation level, she did not elaborate on it, but today I seem to have gotten my first glimpse of the door. If I meet her again when I go back, I will definitely ask her for advice. That Yunxi..."
After saying this, Li Jian was silent for a moment.
"It seems that through today's discussion, that Yunxi seems to have found a way to break through the bottleneck of cultivation. Alas, if this is true, I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for her!"
After talking for a while, Lu Pingchuan suddenly remembered something and asked:
"We have been fighting a lot in the past few days. Have you noticed that those monks like to spit out something as a last resort? That businessman spit out a sword in the end, right? I almost got screwed. That woman’s face! And the guy that Brother Li dealt with a few days ago, when someone was watching, that guy could spit out lightning, dear, these methods are really weird!"
Tang Ping laughed and said:
"What's this? Let me ask you, Brother Lu, does your roaring technique come out of your mouth? And Sister Yan's Phoenix Breathing Technique, doesn't it also spit out flames from your mouth? Those are just means!"
Lu Pingchuan suddenly woke up:
"Hey, Miss Tang, that's true of you. Why didn't I think of that?"
Tang Ping smiled, then looked at Qian Chao and said:
"Boy Qian, people can spit out anything as a way to save their lives. Do you know these things?"
Qian Chao was stunned, scratched his head and said:
"I really don't have the means. The most I can do is spit out some saliva."
"ha!"
…
"Sister Yun, is that boy Li very powerful?"
Yunxi and Bai Lin had no intention of staying outside the sect and were rushing back to the sect. On the way, Bai Lin looked at Yunxi's face and asked carefully.
"Well, the method is very good, no wonder..."
She did not continue talking. She did not want to talk to Bai Lin about her apprenticeship. This cousin was really uneasy.
"So what? Didn't I just work my ass off to get a tie with you, Sister Yun? I think he is just..."
Bai Lin said something to reassure the cousin. He knew that this woman was arrogant and could not bear such setbacks, but Yunxi interrupted her at this point.
"look"
Yunxi pulled off the wooden hairpin on her head and let the black hair blow away in the wind. She showed the wooden hairpin to Bai Lin.
On the small section of the hairpin that is exposed beyond the hair, there are several light and shallow sword marks. If you look closely, you will be shocked to find that the thin distance between the sword marks is actually identical!
"Hmph!" Yun Xi snorted coldly, "I cut a few small holes in his robe, and he made a few cuts in my hairpin. Now you can see, this Li Jian is definitely not simple. , maybe... I'm not as good as him."
Bai Lin took the hairpin and looked at it, feeling that such a method would be too simple to deal with him.
Yunxi took back the wooden hairpin and was about to continue to tie her hair, and asked casually:
"Did they say anything while you were down there?"
"Uh..." Bai Lin was speechless and didn't know whether he should tell this cousin the truth.
"What's wrong? If you have anything, just say it and let me know it."
"Sister Yun, when you finally took action, the woman who treated people's injuries asked the girl named Tang if the boy named Li would lose to you, and then the girl named Tang said..."
Seeing that he was hesitating again, Yunxi said with some dissatisfaction:
"If you have anything to say, just say it. Now that they are not here, what are you afraid of?"
"Well...that girl named Tang said that boy Li won't be defeated because he hasn't used his two swords yet."
There was a soft "pop" sound, and the hand that was about to tie up the hair in a bun suddenly broke the wooden hairpin!
Two swords!
That Li Jian actually used two swords!
And when he fought with him, he only held a spiritual sword in his right hand, and he fought with him like this. If he used both swords at the same time... what would it be like?
Could it be...
Am I not as good as him?
I am not as good as him!
