In fact, she herself did not realize that when she said this, what appeared in her mind was the scene in Tomorrow's Star Sea not long ago.
What Qu Zhengfeng, who is now the Sword Emperor, said...
If you don’t have the will to kill, don’t draw your sword;
If you don't have the determination to die, don't draw your sword;
Without selfish thoughts, the sword will not be drawn.
Hiding one's true abilities, making decisions at the right moment; the mind is determined when the sword is drawn, and the intention is ahead of the sword. Kill one person every ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles - this is drawing the sword!
When did these words become so deeply engraved in my heart
Jianchou's expression was a little dazed for a moment.
But only for a moment.
Qu Zhengfeng's understanding of sword is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Although they are no longer from the same school and have different positions, his "instructions" have indeed benefited her a lot.
The Sword Emperor performed “drawing the sword” first, and then she was able to understand “drawing the knife”.
As for Fang Xiaoxie...
Jianchou just looked at him like that. The stubborn little boy pursed his lips tightly, still looking resentful, as if he was unwilling to lose like this.
"I heard that you don't have your own magic weapon yet. Go back and recuperate today. The armory will be opened tomorrow. Don't delay."
"… "
Fang Xiaoxie didn't say anything. He finally endured the pain that almost made his whole body fall apart. He crawled up from the ground, still staring at Jianchou with bulging eyes.
Jianchou didn't care. After all, this was the "fine tradition" of Yashan!
If you want to blame someone, just blame Qu Zhengfeng for setting such a good example.
Thinking of this, she felt more relaxed. Without saying much, she simply waved to Fang Xiaoxie, and then her figure disappeared.
"I will definitely defeat you!"
When Fang Xiaoxie saw this, he knew she was going to leave, and shouted in panic.
But unfortunately, Jianchou's teleportation was already extremely skillful. There was no pause at all and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When he appeared again, he was already in front of the cliff.
She took out the Yashan Order and pressed it on the wooden plaque with the words "Jianchou" engraved on it beside the door. Then she saw a faint flash of light and the word "Jing" appeared on the token.
At this moment, when she pushed the door open again, it was no longer her little house.
The flat ground is covered with smooth marble, and the dome above is sprinkled with millions of stars.
Countless tall bookshelves were arranged in the shape of the Eight Diagrams, and at first glance, they were so densely packed that it seemed as if there was no end. There were countless rare ancient books and countless jade slips of various colors.
In every corner, there were some Yashan disciples flipping through the scriptures on the shelves, completely absorbed in their studies.
—The Sutra Repository is a treasure trove that can be ranked alongside the Yashan Armory.
Jianchou still remembers that it was here that he broke through to the foundation-building stage. Because the Heaven-Flipping Seal was just formed, it caused quite a stir.
But now when I looked again, the big hole in the shape of a human leg had already been repaired.
The entire Sutra Repository looks ancient and magnificent.
In the very center, stands a snow-white jade pillar.
She walked up and probed her spiritual consciousness into it. In an instant, the classifications and lists of various scriptures in the entire Sutra Repository flooded into her mind.
So, by following the map, you can easily find where what you need is.
After withdrawing her spiritual consciousness, she walked to the far left.
On the bookshelf in the corner, there was a broken jade slip with two extremely ancient words engraved on the outside - armory.
Although Zheng Yao asked Jianchou to open the armory, except for the time she went there when she chose the Ghost Axe, she knew nothing about the armory.
Now it's her turn to take people to open it. She can't just remain ignorant of everything.
Zheng Yao only gave her a tiger-head order and didn't tell her anything else, so she had to find it herself.
Fortunately, the Sutra Repository in Yashan contains everything. Except for some secrets that cannot be told to human beings, you can find the answers to everything you want to know here.
When taking out the jade slip, Jianchou was thinking that it was time to stay in the Sutra Library for a while longer.
By the way, she had seen a lot of things in the old house in Jiyuwudie City. If she could find time to compare and verify them, she would definitely gain a lot.
So, the whole night passed by.
In addition to the jade slip in the armory, she also read "Records of Ancient Strange Stories", "A Study of the Eight Sects of Buddhism", "The Secrets of the Way of the Sword", etc., and combined with what she had seen and heard before, she had a deeper understanding of many things.
It was not until the next morning that she left the Sutra Library.
At this hour, the sky was still dark, and the thick fog of late autumn had invaded the mountains, with a faint hint of frost everywhere.
But on the top of Lingzhao, dozens of Yashan disciples had already gathered.
At a glance, all you see are young faces.
The youngest is only in his teens, while the older ones are in their teens and early twenties. They all look full of energy and can’t hide their excitement.
Fang Xiaoxie, who was "scolded" by Jianchou yesterday, was also among them, but his expression did not look so good.
When Jianchou walked over, he saw him at first sight.
Of course Fang Xiaoxie also saw her, but when he thought of what happened yesterday, his expression became even uglier. He snorted and deliberately turned his head away.
This reaction...
Jianchou was just laughing at the sight.
A little brat is still a little brat after all, and his character still needs to be tempered slowly. However, he did not lose heart because of the battle yesterday, which shows that he has some extraordinary potential.
She was very satisfied, secretly thinking that Zheng Yao was indeed a good disciple, but she didn't show it on her face. After walking over and greeting everyone, she asked, "Is everyone here?"
"Master, everyone is here. The eighteen people who will go to the armory today have already been checked on the list." A disciple who looked mature and steady came out and answered with a smile.
Jianchou took a quick glance and found that he had just passed the foundation-building stage, and this should be his first time entering the armory.
No wonder he looks so happy.
She also laughed and waved her hand, saying, "Since everyone is here, you can all follow me. Fly in the air, be careful on the road, and don't go too far. If you have any problems, just call me."
"yes."
When everyone heard that they were about to set off, their eyes lit up and they responded in unison.
Afterwards, Jianchou took the lead and flew up from the top of Lingzhao and out of Yashan.
She still remembered the direction and route that Qu Zhengfeng took them to the armory. In addition, she had read many records about the Yashan Armory in the Sutra Library, so she had a rough idea of the location.
Because her cultivation is very high now, and most of her disciples are only in the foundation-building stage, her flying speed is also very slow to ensure that everyone can keep up.
The arsenal is located east and northeast of Yashan.
After leaving Yashan, they followed the Jiutou River tributary in front of the mountain and flew over a range of mountains. About an hour later, they saw the basin.
Surrounded by mountains, with lush trees and clear streams, it looks quiet and mysterious in the dark sky.
The high mountain to the west still stands, and the mountainside has been opened up by the ancestors of Yashan into a sloping platform.
Jianchou brought everyone onto the platform.
This group of people who came today, including Fang Xiaoxie, were all visiting the armory for the first time. Now that they had landed on the platform and looked around, they did not see any trace of the armory, and they could not help but feel puzzled.
Someone dared to whisper, "Is this the armory?"
Jianchou heard it and smiled.
She stood at the front of the platform, looking down at the huge basin beneath her feet, letting the cold wind blow across her face and body, but she remained motionless.
I still remember that when I first arrived at the armory, it was Qu Zhengfeng who split the armory open with one sword.
The grandeur and elegance of "a sword falls, the armory opens" is really fascinating. So, she thought, if one day she can reach the Nascent Soul stage and open the armory, how exciting will it be
But at this moment, she stood here, her heart as calm as water.
Sixty years have passed and everything has changed.
"This is my Yashan arsenal."
In the end, she did not waste too much time recalling, but instead quickly pulled herself out of her memory.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the deer-cutting knife was already in his hand.
As soon as he thought of it, a fighting plate over three meters in size lit up under his feet in an instant.
Its range is so large that it even extends to the entire platform and to the feet of those young disciples!
In an instant, starlight enveloped the place!
All the Kun lines that covered the entire fighting plate were lit up at once, and the rich spiritual power of heaven and earth came from the edge of the fighting plate and gathered at the center of Jianchou's brows!
At that moment, her ancestral orifice was as bright as a lamp, her spiritual platform was clean without a speck of dust, her arms moved as her heart wished, and her sword moved as she pleased!
The silent world was suddenly filled with the sound of swords chanting!
Everyone saw her figure flying high up, and the endless blade light had already enveloped her entire body.
When the knife fell, thousands of blade lights merged into one, like a full moon, flying and smashing down!
With a loud "boom", the earth shook!
Where the knife light fell, the basin cracked!
In the crack of the ground, a gray-white platform slowly rose up, supporting thirty-six huge stone pillars, standing in the basin!
Then Jianchou put away his sword, took out the tiger-head order needed to open the armory, and pressed it into the void in front of him.
Pieces of golden light immediately appeared and connected between the stone pillars.
In the blink of an eye, a huge and magnificent palace appeared in front of everyone. Opposite it, there were two dark golden doors that were more than ten feet high, with countless ancient totems carved on them.
Jianchou turned the token that was stuck in the gap of the door and the two doors opened with a bang. A white light and a cold air blew in.
"Yashan Arsenal, the swords are hidden in an endless amount."
"Famous swords have spirits and choose their masters to follow. All of my disciples in Yashan choose swords from the arsenal based on the two words 'fate'."
"So after entering, it is up to you to choose which kind of magic weapon you can get."
These are the "rules" of the Yashan Arsenal.
She talked to everyone first before letting them in.
But unlike the year when Qu Zhengfeng went there first, she stood in front of the gate for a long time, until everyone had entered. Then she slowly withdrew her gaze, took a deep breath, as if making some preparation, and threw herself in.
The sky was gray and pale.
The frozen ice field looked flat and unobstructed at first glance. Countless long swords lay silently under the ice, leaving only a few refracted afterimages on the ice surface.
The surrounding peaks are high and low, seemingly continuous, like sawteeth.
The young disciples who had just entered the armory were all very curious.
A few people spotted the sword shadow hidden under the ice and hurriedly called for people to come and see, with sounds of amazement echoing throughout.
The smart and active ones began to look elsewhere, even at the surrounding mountains.
Jianchou fell on the ice field and looked at them for a while, but seemed a little absent-minded.
The armory remains the same as it was before, with no changes.
It is freezing cold, and the accumulated ice has covered the stories of the past. No one can hear the sounds beneath the ice.
She slowly turned around in place, looked around, and finally she saw it.
Due east, as far as the eye can see.
It was the most abrupt and steep ice peak, like a sharp sword, reaching as high as the sky, incredibly high.
Because of the long distance, it appears as just a blurry grey shadow in front of my eyes.
But Jianchou could clearly see:
At the highest point of the cold and desolate peak, a sword shadow was sealed in crystal clear ice.
The hilt of the sword is up and the tip of the sword is down.
The slender sword body is an astonishing six feet long; the sharp blade has traces of waves; a deep red color, like a thin thread, rises from the tip of the sword, goes up and gradually sinks into the mottled rusty sword body, adding three points of arrogance and coldness!
As always, he was silent, as always, he looked down at the swords, as always, he stood at the end of the sky, and as always, he made her heart fall at the first sight—
Six-foot sword, a line of sky!
