In fact, the so-called sword-washing pool is not far from the Dapingba where Shen Hao climbed up. It takes about one stick of incense to reach it by taking a path close to the mountain wall.
And it is not as mysterious as imagined. It is just a rock pit with a radius of less than ten feet. There is some water in it. Facing north, there is a stone platform where one person can sit. Behind the stone platform, there is an inscription on the mountain wall: Wash the Sword. pool.
If the two words "Changbai" at the mountain gate make Shen Hao feel his eyes sting and dare not look at it for a long time, then the three words "Xijianchi" are even more powerful, and there is no need to look at them at all. , just within ten feet away, there is a strange pain of being pricked by needles on the skin.
"This...is also sword intention?" Shen Hao turned his head to look at Nie Yun beside him in shock. Only then did I realize that Nie Yun's face changed from his usual calm look to look serious, and there was a vague aura rising up on his body as if he was trying to counteract it.
"Yes, it is also a sword intention, and it is a very powerful sword intention. It is somewhat like the meaning of "sword Fusheng" in the legend."
Jian Fu Sheng?
Shen Hao didn't understand this, but the disciple of Chang Baifeng who was leading the way said proudly: "Deacon Nie is really knowledgeable. The three words "Sword Washing Pond" were left by my ancestor after he realized the sword. , after thousands of years, the sword intention on it still remains undiminished, it is the superb state of sword cultivation, "Sword Fu Sheng"!"
Nie Yun continued to explain to Shen Hao: "I am not a swordsman and I can't tell what the so-called realm of Jian Fu Sheng is, but the characteristic of Jian Fu Sheng is one sentence: where the sword's intention lies, all living things are sad. Vol."
Wherever the sword's intention lies, all living beings will be in mourning? !
So arrogant?
Shen Hao was stunned when he heard this, but at the same time he also wondered, he just felt like he was being pricked by needles all over his body, and it wasn't to the point where "all living beings are in mourning", right?
The disciple of Chang Baifeng on the side said again: "This is just the remnant of the sword intention on the stone carving. If this kind of sword intention was deliberately activated, few people would come to this sword washing pool.
If you two are interested, you can go to the Sword Enlightenment Platform in front of you and calm down, so that you can more directly understand the meaning of the sword in the words. If the opportunity is good enough, maybe you can still understand the mystery. "
Nie Yun looked at this Chang Baifeng disciple with a half-smile upon hearing this, and said, "If that's the case, then why do you need to show such a treasure for outsiders to visit? Or does it mean that you, Chang Baifeng, don't care about this "opportunity" anymore? "
"Haha, Deacon Nie, the reason why opportunities are rare is that they vary from person to person. The Sword Washing Pond is right here. Who can benefit and who can only stare blankly. Doesn't this all depend on the word "fate"? This time our sect Daqing, if this were not the case, such treasures would indeed not be shown to others."
So, this sword washing pool can be regarded as a "welfare" provided by Chang Baifeng to entertain guests?
It's possible. But Nie Yun smiled but couldn't deny it. Shen Hao next to him is even more committed to talking less, thinking more, and seeing more. He doesn't understand anyway. You tell me what you think, and I'll take a look.
Nie Yun walked around the sword-washing pool, not knowing what he was thinking. He walked to the stone platform, which was the Sword Enlightenment Platform mentioned by Chang Baifeng's disciple just now. He didn't go up, so he just stood on the edge. Looking at the three stone words, I just closed my eyes, as if I was comprehending.
"Tsk tsk, Deacon Nie is indeed one of the two eagles of Jingxi? He can actually directly perceive the sword intention carved in stone? This kind of soul strength is really terrifying!"
Hearing the sighs of Chang Baifeng's disciples, Shen Hao still said nothing, but in his heart he said: "Oh! So the perception of the sword's intention is linked to the strength of the soul?"
I don't know if he fell into concentration, but Nie Yun's aura became deeper and deeper. It seemed that he was not ready to break away from it in a short time. Shen Hao hurriedly moved closer, wary of his surroundings. This scene made Chang Baifeng's disciples frown, but they didn't say anything.
Because he got up early on the mountain, when Nie Yun was immersed in his insights, there was actually no one around except Shen Hao and a few Chang Baifeng's disciples. But gradually there were more people around, and Chang Bai, who led Shen Hao and the two came here, Disciple Feng couldn't possibly wait all the time. He apologized and went to greet others.
Half an hour later, Nie Yun still showed no sign of coming out of his enlightenment? And there were also many monks from other sects who came to visit the Sword Washing Pond.
But fortunately, Nie Yun's reputation and Shen Hao's cold face and his attitude of keeping away from strangers were enough to dissuade anyone who wanted to get close.
But? Not everyone is so generous.
Just an hour after Nie Yun entered the state of enlightenment, there was a burst of noise outside the sword washing pool.
A graceful woman in a long skirt walked into the sword washing pool surrounded by a group of elegant male monks.
Shen Hao heard others call this woman: Fairy Qingwan.
Looking at the emblem on this woman's waist again? Shen Hao's heart trembled? He never expected to see this kind of sect emblem in Jingxi.
It was a brass-colored hexagonal emblem with a mountain peak relief as the background, and an open book in the middle of the relief.
Seeing this emblem, Shen Hao understood why so many monks, including high-level monks from Chang Baifeng, followed this woman with an attitude like holding the moon in their hands, and even called her "fairy".
Fairy, not just a female monk can be called a fairy. Generally speaking, it is an honorific title for young and high-status female monks.
Called like this, the identity of this woman is naturally not simple: one of the only two super sects in the old Jing Dynasty, Wanjuan Shushan.
As he got closer, Shen Hao discovered that this woman was most likely not good at looks, but was probably much younger than him, and she looked less than twenty years old.
There was an old woman who was always beside this woman. She was hunched over and looked inconspicuous, but Shen Hao always looked away when he saw her, as if he subconsciously wanted to avoid the old woman.
Originally, Shen Hao was not prepared to take the lead. He cowardly protected Nie Yun and continued to follow him until Nie Yun came out of his realization. But after this woman came in, she walked straight towards the Sword Enlightenment Platform, so Shen Hao had to spoke.
"Fairy, please stay here. My senior brother is comprehending the sword's meaning here. If I don't want to be disturbed now, I would like to ask the fairy for your convenience." Shen Hao walked out and stood on the edge of the sword washing pool, the only path leading to the sword enlightenment platform and On the stone road in the direction of Nie Yun, he handed over his hand for convenience.
If it were another sect, the graceful monks following this "Fairy Qingwan" would have definitely opened their mouths to drive him away. If not, there were also high-level monks from Chang Baifeng who came with them, and they would have coordinated to let "Fairy Qingwan" It’s not impossible to give priority.
However, those who came over could ignore Shen Hao standing in the middle, but they could not ignore Nie Yun behind Shen Hao who was closing his eyes to comprehend.
Nie Yun, one of the Double Eagles of Jingxi, was a representative figure of the middle generation of Guishan Monastery. There were not many people in Jingxi who dared to drive him away.
However, just because others don't dare, doesn't mean that this "Fairy Qingwan" doesn't dare.
"The sword intention here is "Sword Fusheng". He has good cultivation but can't understand it yet. It's just a waste of time. Call him out and get out of my way."
