Outside the city of swords.
Because the grand event is approaching, the place is once again busy with traffic. No matter who comes, as long as he is a monk with a True Infant cultivation level, he still has to pass through the soul-watching stone at the city gate before he can enter the city.
Perhaps because the extermination of demonic species in the world has been in full swing over the past few years, everyone is no longer as repelled and fearful as before about the inspection before entering the city.
Even if it is discovered that there is a demon seed in the body, as long as it is still in the infancy stage, there is still the possibility of taking special elixirs to eradicate the hidden danger. If it is more unlucky, there is only a dead end. Fortunately, people nowadays spread the news through the ten sects of the righteous path, and they also hate people with demons. As long as they don't find out about themselves, they will all hope to kill them all and eliminate this serious problem as soon as possible. It’s good to uproot them all.
The morning light fell under the broad and flat city gate, forming a small depression of darker shadow at the bottom of the soul-watching stone.
This strange stone with a simple shape and an ordinary appearance cannot distinguish the complexity of the human heart, and it really cannot be used as evidence to distinguish between good and evil. However, it can be used as evidence to determine whether a person will stay or go.
The crowd was filled with cries of grievances, accompanied by the dragging and scolding figures of the white-robed monks. They were mixed together, creating a frightening and frightening dull atmosphere. People just want to cross this hell gate as quickly as possible and don't want to stay here at all.
Then he saw a beautiful woman holding a child and standing among the crowd with a Taoist companion.
The two of them looked young, but their features were weather-beaten. A closer look revealed that it was very difficult for the two of them who only had Yuan cultivation to survive in this vast world.
The two of them had some medicinal business in their family, but after the magic seed incident, all the ways to purchase medicinal materials were taken away by the surrounding forces. As a result, their family was in ruins and they had to sell their property and come here. Looking for relatives, but also looking for a livelihood.
The child in the woman's arms was so cute that she had a pair of black eyes, staring intently at the strange rocks in front of her. After a moment, she heard the child ask softly: "Mother, father, what is that?"
The mother was stunned, not knowing how to answer this question, but the father next to her suddenly changed his expression, quickly reached out and gently covered the child's mouth, and whispered: "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask."
Most children in the world of cultivation are precocious, and when they saw their father's expression change, the child covered his mouth with his two small hands, signaling that he would not question him any more.
Even so, the couple only breathed a sigh of relief after passing the Soul Watching Stone.
At this moment, everyone below the city tower heard a clear cry, and a bright and white sword energy suddenly slashed out from the city tower, splitting the wind and clouds in an instant, as if it was going to cut the entire city gate in two.
It's not just people with low cultivation levels who have fear in their hearts. Under the shock of this sword energy, even the True Infant monks are trembling all over, with chills running down their spines!
If they were struck by this sword energy, they wouldn't be able to survive!
The sword energy fell from the tower, but it seemed to fall from the sky, as fast as thunder, and came and went without a trace.
In an instant, the man next to the woman trembled all over, fell backwards, and made no sound.
When he took a quick look, he noticed that there was a blood hole the size of a grain of rice between the man's eyebrows, with red and white things constantly flowing out of it. It was then known that the sword energy just now had shattered his skull to pieces!
"Ah!" The woman screamed, and then she came back to her senses from the Jinghong Sword Qi. She put the child on the ground, and then rushed over like a baby swallow, crying out the word "husband". The child didn't know why, and just looked at the wailing mother, standing there blankly. After a long time, until the monks in white robes came forward and took the man's body away forcibly, he felt as if he had left his soul and returned to his body. The sadness in the mother.
The ignorant child was crying loudly, and the woman was sobbing softly, but she could only pick up the child in a hurry under the urging of the white-robed monks.
Zhao Shun's eyes passed over this scene, and then looked at most of the people under the city gate.
When the sword energy was slashed out, they felt fear from the bottom of their hearts. This was due to the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding harm. It was not until the man died and the sword energy dissipated that this fear turned into fear, became luck, and in the end, became A weird, righteous applause——
"To think that such an evil person sneaked in, huh, I thought I could hide it from the eyes of the Sword Lord!"
"We have the blessing of the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance, and there is nothing to fear from mere demons!"
"Fortunately, we killed this evil man. Otherwise, if we let him sneak into the city, we don't know how much trouble would have happened."
Among the crowd, there were some who were happy, some who were happy, and some who had dead lips, cold teeth, and desolate hearts. Zhao Xun's heart was as hard as stone. Since he was guarding the city tower, he had killed no less than a thousand monks. Seeing this scene, he could not even think about it for a moment. fluctuation.
She let out a long sigh and realized that a strong force of energy was running towards her, so she got up and walked out, where she met a slightly shorter woman in her thirties with very sharp eyebrows on the tower.
When the woman saw Zhao Chun, she showed a complex expression mixed with envy and reverence. She nodded and said very politely: "Thank you, fellow Taoist. I will guard the city gate for the next three months. Fellow Taoist, you can Go get some rest.”
Sitting guarding the city gate and using spiritual consciousness to identify whether the monks have demon seeds in their body is really a very labor-intensive task. Most of the sword masters on the upper floor of the ancient city are replaced on March 1 according to the rules. Zhao Chun has now been guarding the whole month. And she has not yet become a sword master, but it is because of her amazing attainments in the Nine Orifices Sword Heart that she is able to take on this position as an exception.
But this also means that the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance is indeed short of manpower now.
Zhao Shun nodded, only exchanged a few words with the other party, and then drove off the tower to escape the light.
Looking down from mid-air, she saw the woman holding the child walking behind the city gate with wet tears. On the other side of the high wall, several white-robed monks disposed of the man's body as usual. , to prevent the demon seeds from changing.
She robbed many people's lives, but was praised by many people for it.
Zhao Shun's fingertips moved, and she felt a strange feeling, which seemed to burst out of the ground like a bud in her heart.
She killed many people, mostly for herself. However, there are many kinds of killing in this world, and they have many meanings beyond self-interest. Some people think that today's killings are caused by righteousness, while others think that they are caused by selfishness. However, Zhao Shun feels that speaking of righteousness is too hypocritical and selfishness is too one-sided. The killing itself is actually to prevent more people from dying. .
Also to prevent his own death.
Killing itself is a meaningless atrocity. If there is no support, it will lead to the degenerate path of indiscriminate killing.
"If it is meaningless, it cannot support itself, and it cannot become a avenue for people to explore."
In the bottom of Zhao Chun's heart, the sound of shattering suddenly sounded one after another, and a full and abundant mystery filled his heart and rose to his skull.
"My morality is only in four words——
“Kill to stop killing!”
As the words fell, the prototype of the third sword soul finally appeared outside the Consciousness Sword, echoing with the other two.
An old man at home is hospitalized, and I recently went to take care of him
