Butcher Hu looked at the sword in Yue Jiu's hand and said seriously: "Give me your sword. This is the best evidence to prove that you were killed. As for other things, you don't have to worry about it."
"Give me a sword?" Yue Jiu was silent in her heart.
If the world of the Mugung Dynasty is like a bead curtain, then the real swordsman must be the most dazzling string of pearls. Each bead, big and small, represents the characters, big and small, who have all To create their own name in the world, every thread passing through the center of the pearl is their own story.
Among them, Yue Jiu will definitely be a moon-white bead with a sword spirit.
The "Nine Swords of the Moon" and the sword Yuehua are his unique stories of the world.
Yue Jiu understood what Butcher Hu meant, and he suddenly remembered a saying that was widely circulated in the world: "The sword is where the man is, and the sword dies and the man dies."
This sentence can be shouted out loudly by any sword-wielding swordsman in the world.
Many times it is just a show, looking childish between life and death.
But there are also times when it has a sincere meaning.
For swordsmen who have not yet entered the palace but are close to the swordsmanship, encountering a strong enemy and facing death, "the sword is where the person is, the sword dies and the person dies" does indeed represent one's own courage and determination.
For Yue Jiu, he has become a second-level swordsman after embarking on the supreme sword. The sword that has followed him all the way and has grown up with him for many years has already become a part of him and is the physical manifestation of the sword he has practiced.
It is no longer a simple slogan, it proves the courage and determination of the sword cultivator, and it is also the long-term dependence of the sword practice practiced by the sword cultivator.
When a swordsman abandons his sword, he is tantamount to betraying the kendo he cultivates and making a complete break with the scenery of kendo he has been pursuing on his way to practice.
If the sword is broken, the person may survive, but the heart of the sword is dead and the sword cultivator is also dead.
"Is this really necessary?" Mu Qing glanced at Yue Jiu, who was obviously silent, and finally turned his attention to Butcher Hu.
Mu Qing also uses a sword. If he entered the arena at the bottom of the dynasty, with his solid sword skills, he might be able to be known as a certain Tsing Yi swordsman, but he still doesn't understand the true meaning of swords to sword cultivators.
The choices on the path of spiritual practice are always so confusing, but the risks and opportunities coexist.
Butcher Hu sighed and said: "Hidden Valley is not that little force you know. There is a very mysterious organization in Zhanglu's lineage, codenamed 'Hidden Vision', which specializes in collecting the secrets and current status of assassins who came from Hidden Valley. . Sometimes, they even know you better than you know yourself, so Yue Jiu’s fake death, if you want to confuse the fake with the real, you have to have the real in the fake."
At the last moment of making a decision, Yue Jiu thought that she would think of many past events, such as getting the "Moonlight Sword Sutra" from her master, getting the Moonlight Sword, the first time she killed someone, and the first time she killed many people. , but until this moment, his mind only had various images of meeting Ning Chu.
"Well, here you go." Yue Jiu smiled casually and threw the Yuehua Sword to Tufu Hu. Only he knew that the "Que Yue" sword technique that had been injured completely collapsed at the moment he made the decision. .
Tufu Hu stretched out his hand to take the Yuehua Sword, and seemed to be able to hear a crisp sound in the Great Avenue of Heaven and Earth, and then sensed the connection between the sword and Yuejiu, and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "You abandoned the sword that was just reborn? "
Butcher Hu made a sad face, looked at the long sword in his hand and then at Yue Jiu, then shook his head and said with a sincere apology: "My understanding is shallow. It seems that the sword has a lot of effect on the sword cultivator." I just thought it would affect your practice due to the profound connection with the great avenue, but I didn’t expect it would bring you to this point."
Mu Qingxing's eyes narrowed slightly, and his sword eyebrows furrowed slightly. He could only catch a hint of the changes in the avenue, and couldn't help but look at Yue Jiu in surprise.
"It doesn't matter, this is my own choice." Yue Jiu sensed this subtle change in the avenue and relaxed slightly to find that her sword heart was still there.
Yue Jiu's eyes cleared, and he felt that all the worries in his heart and the seemingly invisible barrier were finally gone. He smiled and said to Mu Qing: "I vaguely feel that this may be a real new life for me. With the beginning.”
It just breaks and then stands up. After the full moon, there is a missing moon. After the missing moon breaks, what will happen?
Yue Jiu was actually a little confused.
Ling Qingzhu had not intervened in the conversation between Mu Qing and the others. She was used to being a quiet observer. Until this moment, she noticed a rare change in Yue Jiu. She couldn't help but smile and said: "This There are too many people practicing the ruthless swordsmanship in the world, and there will always be a few outliers. Now that you have completely escaped from the past path, the sword heart is even clearer and sharper. This is the beginning of the heart-sword swordsmanship. It is indeed gratifying to see. Before you I have only seen one person take this kind of road."
Liu Weirui listened in a daze, but she didn't know that the person Ling Qingzhu was talking about was her father Liu Chaoge. However, the sword in the heart had an anchor. If the person tied to the heart died, the sword would never reach the top.
"Senior, please enlighten me." Yue Jiu was in a mysterious state where the sword's heart was clear and transparent, and Ling Qingzhu's words became a guiding light at this time.
Ling Qingzhu's beautiful brows swept across the crowd and said softly: "In the realm of spiritual life, the ninth level of mortals, the most valuable thing is the state of understanding of one's own path. Many monks can only reach the realm of transparency, and you have just escaped. In the realm of psychics, this is rare.”
"I have a method here to assist in spiritual practice and enlightenment. It's called "Taishi Cunshen Qi Refining Five Times and Seven Hours Technique". It can help you stabilize your current state of mind. It can be regarded as a method that can peek into spiritual life. Do you have the intention to use the Nine-Rank Non-Dual Technique?"
Yue Jiu's eyes were blazing with light, and she bowed and said, "I wonder what senior wants to do? I don't know what else is valuable in me that can be exchanged for such a rare magic technique."
Ling Qingzhu shook his head and said with a cold smile: "The road is long and far away at first glance. It's hard to say who will definitely be able to reach the front. But the meeting we met on the way to practice today is also fate. Maybe we will be there in the future. We will meet again. So I only ask that if you really go further and can walk with people of my generation in the pursuit of immortality, then you can do a few good things for my Xishan Lin family from the bottom of your heart."
"As for now?" Ling Qingzhu looked around at everyone present and said softly: "Practice well and gain freedom is what you should do. You are still too weak now, and I will not ask you to do anything. "
The realm of spiritual life? Ninth level mortal level?
What about above that? The road to longevity?
"This..." Yue Jiu was shaken after hearing this, and couldn't help but look at Butcher Hu.
Butcher Hu once asked Ling Qingzhu if she was the mistress of the Lin family in Xishan, and received a positive reply from the other party.
Yue Jiu was not very clear about the real meaning behind this identity, but I guess Butcher Hu knew something about it.
Tufu Hu felt the inquiry in Yue Jiu's eyes, and gently held the long sword in his hand. Thinking that his small suggestion had created a new beginning for a sword cultivator, he couldn't help but feel envious. Yi said: "After all, the Mugung Dynasty is just a corner of the continent. The longer you practice, the more you will see. As one of the top ten cultivation families in Taishi Continent, the Xishan Lin family is your boy's opportunity and choice for the avenue. I wouldn’t suggest too much.”
Yue Jiu's eyes were clear and she cautiously bent down to Ling Qingzhu and agreed to the matter.
Liu Weirui stood beside Ling Qingzhu, quietly watching the changes in the field, and digesting the information revealed in Ling Qingzhu's words in surprise. At first, he was not very used to the impact of Ling Qingzhu's identity, but seeing Yue Jiu, a young man who had been an enemy before, getting a chance, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and gently pulled Ling Qingzhu's sleeve and pulled Ling Qingzhu's sleeve. Ru Shui's eyes fell on Mu Qing.
"Pfft~" Ling Qingzhu covered her mouth and chuckled, glanced at the girl who was now turning her elbows outward, and said to Mu Qing: "There are indeed many things that we need to understand each other here. Let's go back and recuperate for a day."
…
…
In the inner city of Zhuque City, in the study room of the City Lord's Mansion.
Bai Hao sat in a chair, looked at Hou Yiyong with a leisurely look and asked, "Where did Geng Jian and his group go?"
There was a clear distinction between superior and inferior in the City Lord's Mansion. Hou Yiyong knelt on the carpet in front of the desk, lowered his head and replied quickly: "I took more than a dozen people to Tiannan Marsh Forest. I said those fish that the former royal family slipped through will definitely go to Tiannan Marsh." Lin joined Na Huai Cao Shi, and he led his men to capture those people or kill them on the spot."
"Ha, he is just a fool." Bai Hao sneered and said: "If others don't know, how can Geng Jian know that as the second gear of Tianshou? That guy Murong Xing didn't hurt his own woman in order to break through the realm. Shao Gan, I don’t believe he wouldn’t tell Geng Jian that Huai Cao Shi was the senior sister of Wan Hua Valley before she became a member of the former royal family.”
Hou Yiyong did not dare to follow the city lord to discuss the two most powerful people in Tianshou, and expressed other opinions on the matter in a low voice: "Wanhua Valley has long become the line of pharmacists in Hidden Valley. Lord Geng is going on this trip. Tiannan Marsh Forest, if we really find Huai Cao Shi's group, they are going to cause trouble on someone else's territory or even in front of their home. I don't know if there will be any problems, and we may have to mediate with the city lord's palace."
"Every branch of the Hidden Valley has its own thoughts, so let's not get involved for the time being." Bai Hao was silent for a while, thinking of the old events, he couldn't help but said coldly: "The Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers should have disappeared twelve years ago, and now it is merged into Hidden Valley has been called Hidden Valley for many years, and this name still comes from you and me, which proves that it still retains its independence. Some people in Hidden Valley have long been unable to stand the aloof and aloof attitude of Wanhua Valley, but many things have not yet As soon as he made a move, Geng Jian broke into the chessboard."
Speaking of Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, Hou Yiyong couldn't help but think of a little person he had been paying attention to recently, and said calmly: "Earlier, news came from inside Hidden Valley that Mu Qing did not die in the plan against Ten Thousand Flowers Valley. In a few days, You will arrive at Jinguan City smoothly."
"Oh?" Bai Hao sneered, rubbing the chair handle and said: "That boy can defeat Geng Jian with poison. His strength should not be weak. It's not surprising that he can survive this time. It just so happened that you knitted it before. The net can no longer be wasted.”
Hou Yiyong was overjoyed, thinking that it would be a blessing if Mu Qing could really remove a piece of the city lord's heartache, and quickly said: "I wonder who you will choose as bait this time?"
