Li Xiudao: "Why don't you understand now? If your master had not converted to the way of the Sword Saint, he would have been a worthy Sword Immortal in the Age of Dharma Ending. His previous path as a Sword Immortal could rival that of Emperor Ji Yuan when he was a boy." Long and short. It's a pity that he seeks the nameless saint for the name, and abandons the way of the sword immortal for the sake of the sword. It is tantamount to being blinded by the holy way and the heart of the sword. As the saying goes: 'The nameless beginning of all things, the name of the mother of all things', people establish their destiny in heaven and earth In time, all you have to take is a "road". Any choice is a road, and it has nothing to do with the name. If you only think about pursuing the "name", you will inevitably lose your heart on the road and lose more than you gain. What's more, if the heart of the Tao is unyielding, Sword Saint and Sword God are just gifts from others, we remain the same, this is the method of righteousness, concentration and wisdom!"
"I understand!" Sword Spirit looked grateful to Li Xiu, and then said: "But there is still something I don't understand. This is because you just asked me that my talent is definitely not comparable to that of Jian Wu Ce. The so-called The leaders of the Sword Sect are just mediocre, what does this have to do with this sentence?"
"It doesn't matter. I just want to tell you that the Sword Master accepts you as a closed disciple and values you far more than others. Otherwise, you will be sent away early. If you go to that place, I'm afraid you will You can't come back. So under the sword tomb, you will definitely find the heart of the sword," Li Xiudao.
The sword spirit said: "Li Xiu, that sword grave is where the sword is buried. If I find the sword's heart, I will lose my physical body and become the sword body."
Li Xiudao: "Your name is Sword Spirit. By doing this, aren't you becoming yourself? Sword Spirit, you have no sword heart. You pursue sharpening the sword just to find your sword heart. Therefore, you are destined to do this." A sharpened sword, this is your path! Of course, if you don't want to, you can follow me back to the laboratory and continue practicing, and I will arrange something for you to do."
"It's not that I'm unwilling, I'm very willing. I said, even if a moth flies into a flame and my body dies, I only want to live for one life. You gave me this path to choose, which is very good for me! Make a sword, It is still the swordsmanship that I pursue. Compared to the millions of people in the world who have no talent but hit the wall, I am the lucky one!" Sword Spirit said firmly.
"Since you insist on making your choice, let's get started!" Li Xiu touched the ground with his toes and stepped suddenly: "Open!"
A gap opened in the ground. The sword spirit did not hesitate at all and got into the gap. After a while, the gap automatically healed.
"Brother, the Sword Master's sword spirit was extraordinary back then. You could give this opportunity to anyone under you. Why did you choose the Sword Spirit alone?" Yangzi obviously didn't quite understand Li Xiu's move. .
Li Xiudao: "Yangzi, you became an immortal because the Yang clan and the Dark World fought against each other every year, constantly attacking each other, and developed a fighting spirit between life and death. In addition, you have the blood of the Golden Crow, so everything is a matter of course. , it’s normal that you don’t understand the truth. But you have to know that it is not difficult to prove the Tao in a demonic country, but it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to uphold the Tao and remain unchanged. In this big dye vat, the variables are too great. . The eight words "subtle and drifting" are the enemies of upholding the Tao. There are many outstanding people in the world who are famous for a while, and their fame is at the top of the world. However, it doesn't take long for them to lose the heart of upholding the Tao and disappear. If we don't tell others, we will be killed! Therefore, when we practice Taoism ourselves, we must always be vigilant and not be careless, so that we can survive for a long time!"
Yang Zi seemed to understand, but he admired Li Xiu very much. He would not refute what this elder brother said, but would remember it in his mind.
The two waited here for three days, but there was still no movement under the sword tomb. Yangzi and Li Xiu took turns from time to time, but they benefited a lot and did not feel uncomfortable. Li Xiu himself was very patient.
Three days later, a group of people suddenly appeared in the snow forest. Before the people came near, Li Xiu and Yang Zi smelled the smell of blood.
"He's here!" Li Xiu opened his eyes and stared ahead.
Sure enough, after a moment, the group of people came out, and when they saw Li Xiu and Yang Zi from a distance, the leader suddenly looked happy.
It's Lu Youshi.
Lu Youshi never expected that she would meet Li Xiu here. She was so surprised that she quickly shouted: "Brother Li, Brother Li, come and save me!"
Li Xiu called the other party to come over. Seeing this, Lu Youshi quickly rushed over with a group of defeated soldiers, crawling on the ground. There were strong men chasing behind him. At this time, he also saw Li Xiu and Yang Zi.
What’s interesting is that when the group of pursuers saw Li Xiu, the leader’s face changed drastically. Without saying a word, he turned around and ran away. The people accompanying him didn’t know what was going on, but when they saw the leader running away, they probably encountered a hard opponent. Stubble also turned around and ran away.
"Go!" Li Xiu waved his sleeves and pulled out a rope, flying out like a spiritual snake. After a moment, he tied up the group together and smashed them to the snow. Everyone screamed in pain.
Li Xiu still sat cross-legged on the ground and nodded to Lu Youshi. Lu Youshi was shocked by Li Xiu's methods and didn't react for a moment.
"Kill!" Li Xiu said coldly.
Only then did Lu Youshi understand, and ran towards the group of people with the blood-stained sword.
"Li Xiu, you can't kill us. You will regret it if you kill us!" The bound leader indeed recognized Li Xiu and knew that the situation was reversed. He was unlucky enough to meet that ruthless man. Knowing that his life was in danger, he couldn't help but threaten loudly. .
Li Xiu didn't answer.
Lu Youshi stepped forward and killed the group of people one by one with his sword, and then used corpse-transforming water to clean up the corpses. Then he returned to Li Xiu and thanked him profusely.
"What's going on?" Although Li Xiu had some guesses, he still asked.
Lu Youshi sighed. He was too tired and didn't care about etiquette. He immediately drank his six men away and asked them to go aside to heal their injuries and cook some cooked food to satisfy their hunger. He himself sat down in front of Li Xiu carelessly and said: "Brother Li, you have hurt me!"
Li Xiuqi smiled and said: "Why, a dignified leader of the Chu court, a great one among the people, still complains endlessly against a few young people, is it ridiculous?"
"You still say! If you hadn't threatened me with the Sword Spirit's head, how could I have gotten into such trouble?" Lu Youshi had learned a lesson from Li Xiu's shamelessness, and actually dared to laugh at herself.
Li Xiu said: "Chu Ting's power is strong. Isn't there no contact point for you in Shangbei County? If you can't defeat them, don't you know how to call for help?" Li Xiu's sarcasm became even stronger.
"Otherwise, where do you think they came from?" Lu Youshi pointed at his six men who were still alive.
"It seems that I guessed right. Those people are not easy to deal with. I didn't expect that even you can't deal with them. This is what I didn't expect!" Li Xiu said seriously.
"Brother Li, if I didn't respect you as a person, I would have cursed you a long time ago. Do you still have the shame?" Lu Youshi said angrily: "Don't say you don't know the identity of the group of robbers you called Skynet. People. Those people eat people without spitting out their bones. If I had known their identities, even if you killed the sword spirit ten times, I would not have sex with them. I still want to live for a few more years!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Li Xiuba smacked his lips, without comment, and looked at Yangzi. The ridicule and disdain on Yangzi's face was much stronger than that of Li Xiuke, and he didn't even bother to look at Lu Youshi. One look and look away.
"This dear friend is..." Lu Youshi was despised by Yang Zi. Of course he was unhappy, but he did not dare to easily offend the people around Li Xiu, especially the young people. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, he squeezed out a smile at the moment, Asked Yoko’s name.
Yangzi ignored him, but Yangzi was also a humble gentleman, so he could only face the other person's smiling face expressionlessly, clasped his fists and said: "I don't dare to take the word "brother" seriously, my surname is Jin!"
"It turns out to be Brother Jin. Nice to meet you!" Lu Youshi also clasped her fists repeatedly.
"Okay, you can meet us here, which means we are all destined. Tell me, how did you know that they are from Skynet?" Li Xiu asked.
Lu Youshi immediately recounted what he had experienced over the past few days.
It turned out that Li Xiu had threatened Lu Youshi with the sword spirit's head and asked Lu Youshi to go to the dock north of Hancheng to kill the members of Skynet's stronghold. Lu Youshi had indeed achieved a great victory in the first battle with one man and one sword. He was cleaning the battlefield and cutting off heads, preparing to take them back to Li Xiu in exchange for the sword spirit's heads. At this time, he ran into trouble. He suddenly heard a burst of intermittent crying. Lu Youshi was surprised. This cry... was actually the cry of a baby...
Finally, the source of the crying was found in a secret room under the largest house in the village. There were more than twenty women and children, a dozen children, and two babies who were still in their infancy.
At a glance, it was obvious that these people had been imprisoned for a long time. Lu Youshi was suspicious, secretly thinking, didn't Li Xiu say that all the people here were bandits? If bandits looted the village and occupied the dock, what they would do would definitely not be to lock up these women, children, and babies. They would either kill them or take them back to the village.
"Who are you?" Lu Youshi asked on the spot.
The women and children were frightened by Lu Youshi. Lu Youshi had just gone through a battle. She was covered in blood and the murderous look on her face was still there. How could these people endure it? The wailing Honest explained that it turned out that they were really the wives and children of the local villagers. I don’t know what kind of mercy those bandits were showing, but they didn’t kill these people. Lu Youshi frowned and threw a few ingots of gold to the women and children. For a strong person like Lu Youshi, there would be no gold on others. Lu Youshi traveled around the world all year round and had quite a few, so he asked them to hurry up with their children. leave.
But the sky is vast, the land is icy and snowy, and they are helpless. Where can they go?
Lu Youshi wanted to leave, but this situation made him unbearable.
We can't stay in this village. It won't be long before someone is expected to come. Once the news leaks out, it would be okay for Lu Youshi to just leave and leave, but these women, children and children will probably die without a burial place.
Lu Youshi got a few carriages, cooked food and food, as well as quilts, shoes, cotton clothes and other things, and stuffed them into the carriages, planning to escort these people to Hancheng. With the money, these Women, children, and children can survive in the gathering place.
At this moment, a person suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village and blocked Lu Youshi's way.
"Who are you?" The man was a strong man in his early forties, with a sword hanging from his waist. Lu Youshi noticed that the shoes of the strong man were official boots, and his clothes were very ordinary, with a short shirt, a long coat, and a scarf. Wear a crimson hat. Lu Youshi judged that this must be a military attache from some big city. He was not bad in strength. Although his clothes were ordinary, his air was there. It was estimated that ordinary county officials did not have such official air. However, the fact that this person came here alone seems quite inconsistent with his identity. Could it be that he is an accomplice of those robbers? Lu Youshi secretly guessed.
When Lu Youshi said this, he said to Li Xiu, "Who do you know that person is?"
