"I surrender!"
Zhu Pingping felt aggrieved when she said these three words, but this was just a sparring match, not a competition between sects, nor an enemy.
Even though she had some killer moves in her hand, she didn't dare to use them on Qi Yue, otherwise she would attract the Law Enforcement Hall and the loss would outweigh the gain.
"Junior sister Zhu is doing a great job, just keep it up."
As soon as I got up, I heard Senior Brother Shi from Ni Yufeng say this.
Zhu Pingping's face was a little dark, but when she saw Zhu Xiuwen's slightly concerned eyes from the corner of her eye, she finally felt better and said:
"Senior Brother Shi, you're welcome. Fellow Daoist Qi is a distinguished guest of our Wuji Sect after all."
She bit the word "distinguished guest" a little harder, and you wouldn't even notice it if you didn't listen carefully.
Except for the thoughtful Bai Chacha, even Qi Yue, who was always sharp-minded, did not hear the complaint in her words.
snort! I knew she would be dissatisfied with Sister Qi.
Bai Chacha hurriedly hugged Qi Yue, with an expression on her face that said "No one can hurt sister Qi", which made Qi Yue's eyes twitch slightly.
They are really unfamiliar!
Bai Chacha didn't know what the people around her were thinking, but when she saw Senior Brother Shi asking about the Sword Covering Pill, Zhu Pingping's face froze at first, and then she sneered.
Probably what she was thinking at this time was, no wonder she couldn't catch Qi Yue's sword. It turned out that she used a foreign object, no wonder... Ha!
But is it really that simple?
Bai Chacha glanced at Zhu Pingping, who had a cold face, and snorted softly in her heart. She thought that Zhu Pingping would definitely be slapped in the face this time.
"Huh? Fellow Taoist Shi also knows Wujian Dan?!"
Hearing Shi Bolong's inquiry, Qi Yue's face flashed with surprise.
Then she looked at everyone's faces, some were curious, and some frowned and showed a little disgust. It seems that in the eyes of some swordsmen, this method of relying on external objects to take shortcuts is not advisable.
On the other hand, Zhu Pingping, who had just fought against her, although she had a cold face, was not as repulsive as her senior brothers.
It’s just that I definitely feel unhappy.
However, since Qi Yue dared to take the Sword Enlightenment Pill in such a place, there was naturally a reason.
Qi Yue pondered slightly, "I don't know, Fellow Daoist Shi, how much do you know about Wujian Dan?"
Shi Bolong shook his head and said, "To be honest, I only heard about it casually from a certain senior. I only know its name and it seems to be helpful in understanding the meaning of the sword."
Qi Yue looked at the others again. Jiang Congshan hesitated for a moment and then said, "I heard Master mention it once about the Sword Enlightenment Pill. It seems to be related to the Heart Sword."
There was uncertainty in his tone, as if he was very unfamiliar with the word Heart Sword.
"Heart Sword?"
Someone wondered.
Zhu Xiuwen and the brothers around her frowned, "What is the Heart Sword? We seem to have never heard of the Heart Sword."
The others also looked at each other in confusion, except for Bai Chacha, who said, "The term Heart Sword came from the Hengyuan Realm. It's normal that you haven't heard of it."
Qi Yue: ...I really don’t blame Bai Chacha for her poor reputation. Part of her poor reputation is indeed her own fault.
Thinking back to the first time they met, Sister Bai was directly curious about her "irregular" birth. It's no wonder that some Wuji Sect disciples avoided her.
Emotional intelligence is sometimes too low, which really makes people unable to afford to be hurt.
Qi Yue smiled slightly, since she was talking about Heng Yuan Realm, she would explain it more clearly here.
This is not a secret, it's just because most of the things in the Hengyuan world are spread among high-level monks, and low-level monks generally have difficulty in contacting their level, so no one knows these things.
"It is true that as Sister Bai said, the Heart Sword was actually passed down from the Hengyuan Realm. Fellow Taoists, you know that in ancient times, there were no such terms as sword cultivator, talisman cultivator, and law cultivator."
Everyone hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Qi Yue nodded slightly and continued, "In ancient times, monks sought Taoism and learned arts, and their original purpose was to kill demons so that humans could live in one place with peace of mind."
"Fellow Daoist Qi, this and the Heart Sword..."
"Fellow Literary Daoist, you don't have to be in a hurry. Please listen to me slowly."
Senior Brother Shi glanced at the writer, who nodded helplessly.
But after saying what he just said, Qi Yue talked about ancient times again.
Although Zanghai Realm is only a small and medium-sized world, the inheritance here is relatively complete because of its close connection with the high-level world of Hengyuan Realm.
Based on the discovered history of the human race, the world of immortality is roughly divided into prehistoric, ancient, ancient, ancient, modern times, and the present.
In the ancient times, there were no written records of the human race. We can only infer from the records of ancient times that gods, demons and wild beasts coexisted in the prehistoric era. Although there were humans in the ancient times, they were not yet enlightened. They were as naked as the gods and demons of the same era. We are all savages, the sky is our quilt and the earth is our bed, but the fate of the human race is like a mayfly.
In ancient times, wild beasts withdrew from the front line, and gods and demons began to gain the upper hand and became the masters at that time. The human race gradually learned to hug each other for warmth. Although they still drank hair and blood, they also developed greater ambitions due to their growing spiritual wisdom.
"...At that time, the gods and demons were powerful, and the orcs were born dependent on the gods. Although the demons were not recognized by other races when they were first born, once they grew up, they were also powerful and could still secure a place in the ancient land.
Only the human race is born with a weak constitution. Although it has the eyes to distinguish right from wrong (here, it does not refer to the physical eyes, but the eyes of wisdom), the heart to understand the desires of all things in the world, and the ability to master the creation of heaven and earth, they are ultimately limited by their life span. For a long time Unable to break through the predicament of the human race. "
"...Later, the human race learned the ancient methods of cultivating gods and demons, eating wild meat, bathing in the blood of beasts, and learning divine inscriptions."
"In the ancient times, the human race's geniuses continued to appear, and the gods and demons followed the cycle of heaven and earth and began to take a back seat. No one could compete with the human race anymore. Since then, the human race has gradually begun to flourish."
"From then on, people who cultivated immortality and sought Taoism sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and they were full of vitality. There were so many miraculous magicians in the world, it was like weeds under our feet today. They can be seen everywhere, and the various methods of cultivation, it is no exaggeration to say, are picked up immediately. .”
Qi Yue's words made those present feel a grand scene emerging in front of their eyes. Immortals were in power, monks were as numerous as dogs, and the heyday of the human race could not be better than in ancient times.
However, these are not the topics Qi Yue wants to talk about today.
After they all calmed down a little, Qi Yue pondered for a while before continuing:
"Actually, I have said a lot. There is only one point I want to emphasize from the beginning to the end. The purpose of ancient human beings seeking immortality is very different from ours.
In ancient times, the human race was prosperous, but there were still many crises. So when they seek immortality, they first seek Tao, their own Tao, and then they seek immortality. Immortality is not in front of Tao. Without Tao, they will never seek immortality. "
Senior Brother Shi's heart skipped a beat and he looked at the junior brothers and sisters beside him. He licked his lips and said, "Fellow Daoist Qi..."
Qi Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, Daoyou Shi, I'm about to get to the point."
"……good!"
Senior Brother Shi always had a feeling in his heart that what Qi Yue said might be contrary to the concepts they were accustomed to before today, and might even lead to a subversive change in their concepts.
"Going back to the original topic, I mentioned that in ancient times there were no titles such as sword cultivator, talisman cultivator, formation cultivator, etc., because in ancient times, it was not said that every monk was proficient in the six arts (these six arts were not just piano, chess, poetry, calligraphy, painting, tea, etc.) Several arts, but refers to the six arts of literature, formation, art, talismans, tools, and elixirs), but at least most of the great human beings who can successfully stay in the history of the human race are proficient in two arts, or three to four arts."
"They never distinguish between high and low art, they only recognize its value in the world. As for the Heart Sword, in ancient times, it was called the true swordsmanship by monks, and it belongs to the same category of literature and art as Buddhism."
Heart sword, kendo, literature and art?
They don't understand these six words individually, but taken together, they don't understand them even more.
