At the top of the peak, Mu Qing slowly stood up straight with the support of Ye Qingyu, and said with a forced smile: "I'm lucky, the 'Spiritual Sword Ultimate' I encountered is the true spirit of the Sword-Questing Stone."
Ye Qingyu took out a pill and fed it to him. Mu Qing's complexion recovered slightly and he looked at the top of the mountain.
This place was different from the peaks he had seen before. There was no bamboo forest, only a dilapidated sword house.
Su Kuoyu and the other three did not follow him to the top of the mountain.
Mu Qing frowned slightly and told Ye Qingyu what he had experienced, and finally looked at Ye Qingyu curiously.
He had discovered that Ye Qingyu had no injuries on his body, and it seemed that he had easily passed the test of the Sword Asking Platform.
Ye Qingyu smiled and said: "I am not as lucky as you. Her state is very special. Most of the time she is the embodiment of the will of swordsmanship, but occasionally she has self-awareness that belongs to life. I sparred with her for a while, and she let me pass and reach the top. "
"Eh-" Ye Qingyu muttered with his eyes wide open, "Counting the time, when I reach the top, you will just be fighting with that Fang Jun."
"Perhaps it's because of him that these kendo wills can be embodied."
Mu Qing guessed, but began to wonder about Fang Jun's current situation.
This question about the situation in the sword stone is quite different from the initial guess. At the beginning, three of the four poles of the sword were eliminated, but Fang Jun was the only one who remained here.
Is the other party trapped here, or is he abiding by some agreement?
Mu Qing raised his eyes and looked at the peak again.
Ye Qingyu talked about the discovery: "Before I entered Wenjian Stone, I had already climbed the peak twice."
"On Shengyuan Mountain, there are ruins. In the stone statue space, there is a sword hut and a bamboo forest on the top of the mountain. There are also two tombs under the bamboo forest."
"And there is something different in the Wenjian Stone."
Mu Qing thoughtfully said, "Maybe the clues to leaving here are hidden in these differences."
Ye Qingyu sighed softly and took out a piece of green bamboo leaf, "I think so too, but after several attempts, nothing changed here."
Mu Qing's eyes stopped on Jianlu, "What's inside?"
Ye Qingyu said: "I have searched it once and the Jianlu is very clean."
"Very clean?"
Mu Qing's heart moved, he walked into Jianlu and walked straight towards the blacksmith furnace on the left. There were several stone troughs placed next to the adobe blast furnace, which was exactly the same as in his memory, except that one thing was missing.
"This is wrong!"
Mu Qing took out a rusty iron block from Najie.
Ye Qingyu's eyes lit up, indicating that he could try it.
Mu Qing placed the iron block in the stone trough closest to the blast furnace and took two steps back in anticipation.
After a moment, nothing happened.
Ye Qingyu moved and said, "You stay here."
Ye Qingyu left Jianlu, went to the bamboo forest in front of the house, and took out the green bamboo leaf again.
Mu Qing frowned and waited for a long time, but still couldn't wait for anything strange to appear. She knew that she was looking in the wrong direction, so she was about to say, "Bang——"
Suddenly there was the sound of sparks crackling in his ears, and Mu Qing quickly turned his head.
The quiet blast furnace next to him was emitting scorching heat. Fireworks were beating wildly inside the furnace mouth. The stone trough on the side was also filled with water. As a red sword embryo broke into the water, the scene instantly heard a sound: "呲——"
Mu Qing woke up and quickly retreated outside Jianlu.
Soon, he found that he was still standing where he was.
He called Ye Qingyu loudly, but could not wait for a response. It was not until a spark penetrated his body that he realized that he only had a perspective, not an entity.
As soon as the red sword embryo comes into contact with water, the bright orange color quickly recedes, revealing the unique blue luster after quenching.
Mu Qing's eyes slowly raised, a little surprised.
Blacksmithing and tempering is a strenuous job that consumes a lot of energy. Not only is the man in front of him too young, he is also a little thin and short, like a boy of twelve or thirteen years old.
Just as he was thinking about this, a tall, shirtless figure suddenly burst into view, grabbed the boy's arm, and gave him a violent squeeze.
After scolding, another young man came over and was busy trying to break up the fight.
Mu Qing could occasionally hear the voices of their quarrels, and knew that these were the three generations of grandfather and grandson. Just now, the grandson was naughty and melted the best piece of iron stone in the family to make a sword, saying that he and his friends would go out into the world.
The image was like a fog, which quickly dissipated. When we reunited, the previously narrow family-style workshop was much more spacious, and there were many tall and unfamiliar figures in the blacksmith's workshop.
The original old man was no longer around, and the young man began to take on the old man's aura, catching the apprentice and yelling at him. He developed the blacksmith shop and the days got better and better.
The young man who used to be clamoring to enter the world with his friends began to pick up books and gradually gained the composure of his father.
If life continues like this, the young man who longed to make a career in the world may go to the capital and enter the Emperor's Hall, but his stable life is broken by the hurried horseshoes at night and the stranger who breaks into the study.
When the young man who had just fallen asleep with his book in his arms was awakened, a broken sword was already placed around his neck. The person threatening him with the sword was a young woman.
"I won't hurt you, so don't make a sound."
The young man looked at those tired but extremely clean eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his hand, and tried to move the sword away. The woman's body tilted, and she fainted in front of him.
The sound of horse hooves faded away, and the young man rescued the woman without telling his father.
He vaguely knew that he had made a big mistake, so he threw the chivalry book he read that night into the stove and hid the woman even deeper.
The woman was taken care of by him carefully, and her originally closed heart felt a little softer. She told him about the world. At that time, the young people realized that the country they were in was too weak in the entire northern border, and this was the first place to be affected by the disputes.
The woman's identity is also very special. She is the daughter of a general who guards the border. The people who are chasing her are the rebels who have surrendered.
Later, the situation turned out to be exactly as the woman said. Chaos broke out on the border, wars spread, and they soon became subjects of other countries.
Hearing that the soldiers and civilians in the capital were united and still resisting vigorously, the young man told the woman the exciting news he had heard, but he did not expect that the woman would leave in exchange.
During this period of contact, the young man had already fallen in love with her. He expressed his feelings to the woman on the eve of her departure, but was rejected by the woman.
So the young man gave the woman a sword as a gift.
When the woman left, she held the sword, looked in the direction of the capital, and said seriously: "I have learned swords since I was a child. Now that the world is in chaos, I should pick up the sword to protect everything in front of me."
The young man was full of excitement: "I will go with you."
The woman smiled softly, turned around and asked, "Has Mr. Lang ever learned to sword?"
"No."
"Then live well and hope that when the chaos is over, you and I can see each other again. Then..."
The woman thought for a while, took a dagger from her sleeve and gave it to the young man, "I will use this as a betrothal gift."
The young man stayed where he was, but the woman had gone away.
Half a year later, this remote place occupied by the enemy received news that the capital city had fallen and there were countless casualties. As for the woman, there was no news at all.
The young man wanted to find out about the woman, but instead his relationship with her was exposed. His father used the blacksmith shop to exchange for his life.
The family took refuge in the countryside. The young man thought that life could not get any worse, but he did not expect that the traitorous general of the woman's father heard of his existence, captured him, and tried to force the woman to show up.
He was very happy at the time. It turned out that the woman was still alive and had even assassinated an enemy general in the capital.
But after reacting, he was very angry. These people became traitors and were even more despicable than the enemy.
His family has been forging iron for generations and has forged many swords, but when he wanted to resist, he didn't even have a sword with him.
The young man united with his fellow inmates in prison, knocked down the guards, and escaped in an extremely thrilling way. Then he was overtaken by the enemy. That time was his first murder, and he was extremely lucky to be saved by the resistance.
He became a member of the resistance, and by chance, he got the ordinary iron sword he had made when he was young.
From then on, he grabbed the sword and started killing people.
sometimes
, when the sword is stained with blood, he will also recall the woman's words before leaving, and ask himself, has he learned the sword now?
He didn't know.
He only knew how to kill with a sword, especially after holding the sword he forged. In just a few months, he quickly grew from a clumsy soldier to a machine whose sword was only for killing people.
The woman was surrounded by the capital, and when she learned that he had been captured, it was already half a year later. Although he had escaped, the woman still fell into the trap.
Only then did the young man wake up, and he led his companions to pick up the woman.
When the two met, they neither mentioned their original agreement. The woman said that except for anger, there was no room for peace in his heart. This anger would only get worse, and finally burned him to death, and persuaded him to practice swordsmanship.
At that time, he realized that the disputes between secular dynasties were just an inconspicuous chess piece on the chessboard, and those outside the chessboard were the transcendent spiritual forces.
"If you want to achieve peace in the world, you must calm down the root cause."
The woman said this with great ambition.
The two parted again. The woman received guidance from a famous master since she was a child, and easily became an inner disciple of the Yikendo Sect. However, he was not even a first-rate master in the secular world, so naturally no cultivating force was willing to accept him, so he was forced to become a casual cultivator. .
But he was lucky. In the north at that time, there were many casual cultivators and many swordsmen. Sword cultivators accounted for 90% of the casual cultivators.
Young people find partners easily.
Since embarking on the journey of practicing swordsmanship, the young man has gained friendships, experienced unforgettable betrayals, and even narrowly escaped death many times while competing for resources, but he did not feel bitter.
He can feel his progress all the time.
After so many years, the cultivating forces no longer just placed their pieces on the chessboard, but began to do so themselves.
Once the sect where the woman belonged was overthrown, many of the elders and disciples surrendered, but few rose up to resist. However, the woman, who joined the sect halfway, took up the banner of reviving the sect and began to try to block the car.
In front of the real immortal creature, she, who had already become famous in the north, was just a bigger ant. Just when the woman was about to perish, the young man saved her.
The young man at this time was no longer the handsome scholar who was frightened by the sound of the iron hooves of the army, nor was he the angry rebellious young man who was taken to prison. The first time he appeared in the eyes of many forces in the spiritual world, he was seriously injured with a single sword. He wants to get rid of the woman's immortal creature.
In one day, his name spread throughout the north.
That night, the young man returned the dagger to the woman with great sincerity, and the two became Taoist couples.
The momentum gathered around the two people became more and more powerful in the north. After the two people expressed their desire to fight against the unrest, more and more followers gathered around them.
After that, the young man had his own power.
He still fought first, fell in blood, and stood up again holding the sword. Gradually, his enemies began to fear his sword, and his followers began to respect him as the Sword Master.
Finally, the earth-shattering battle finally broke out in the north.
He won.
He achieved supreme status and opened up a path of cultivation for sword cultivators in the world.
Mu Qing tried to close his eyes.
The light and shadow in front of me are still changing, which is the content of that battle.
Finally, the changes in the picture slowed down, and he saw the seriously injured woman who was on the verge of death, and the broken sword. When he wanted to see more clearly, the pictures all disappeared, and he returned to the stove again.
Looking at the tall figure in front of him, Mu Qing looked a little confused as he watched the other person quenching the iron block a little clumsily.
The man whom the woman called "Yuan" turned his back to him and asked: "This is the road under my feet, are you willing to continue walking?"
