The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 20: Ask the sword to the old man in black

Views:

It was not until a long time later that Jing Jiu looked away and raised his head.

At this moment, he just heard Lin Wuzhi's last words in this class.

"To do this, you must first find a sword that belongs to you."

Lin Wuzhi left the Xijian Pavilion with more than ten disciples, walked upstream along the Xijian River, and came to a mountain peak not long after.

Compared with other peaks, there is very little vegetation on this mountain, and there is no dense forest. Looking around, you can only see jagged cliffs and rocks, which looks very desolate.

There are many small holes in the cliff below the mountain peak, the holes are small, and the edges are extremely smooth, as if they were pierced by something.

The upper half of the mountain was shrouded in thick clouds and fog, making it impossible to see clearly.

This is the fourth peak of Qingshan, Yunxing Peak.

The disciples of the Green Mountain Sect are more accustomed to calling this mountain the Sword Peak, because there are countless swords hidden in this mountain, waiting to be discovered by their masters.

Yunxing Peak is very special, the clouds and mists do not disperse all year round, the peaks are very humid, and there are countless swords hidden in the cliffs, it is very hard to live in it, so the masters and apprentices of Yunxing Peak practice and live under the peak. The Lord is discussing matters at Tianguang Peak.

When the lifespan of the Qingshan sect powerhouse is about to expire, he will often come to this peak and give back his flying sword to this mountain.

Of course, if that strong man wanted to be buried with his flying sword, no one would force him to do so.

But since the Qingshan sect was founded, no matter how many strong people have returned their swords to the peak, it is impossible to get more swords than the disciples of the younger generation.

Why are there so many swords in Jianfeng? Where did the first swords come from? No one can answer this question.

Some people say that this sword peak is a sword furnace formed by heaven and earth. Some people say that this sword peak is a tomb formed after the strong men of previous civilizations fought and fell together. No relevant evidence was found.

The disciples stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the mountain peak in the clouds, and listening to Lin Wuzhi's explanation, their eyes became sour, and some of them even cried.

Naturally, they were not expressing nostalgia for the past, nor were they nostalgic for the demeanor of their seniors, but they were stabbed in the eyes by the sword intent.

There are tens of thousands of swords hidden in this mountain peak, and the combination of sword intent, even if separated by such a long distance, it is not something they disciples who have just entered the inner sect can bear.

How to go up this sword peak? Or just look for swords among the cliffs below

Some disciples thought to themselves.

Lin Wuzhi knew what the disciples were thinking, so he was not angry, and said with a smile: "The things you can think of, naturally, the disciples of the previous generation would also think of them. I might as well tell you that these caves on the cliffs at the bottom of the mountain are sword caves. Knowing how many years you have been looking for, if you can still find a sword, then it is your skill, and luck is also your skill, right?"

The disciples were so speechless, they thought that just standing at the foot of the mountain was already so difficult, could it be that they really wanted to go up to Jianfeng Peak, or even to the peak

Lin Wuzhi reminded: "Don't forget, the higher you go to the peak, the higher the quality of the flying sword will be."

A disciple suddenly thought of something and asked, "I heard that Senior Sister Zhao has been practicing swordsmanship on the Sword Peak?"

Lin Wuzhi nodded and said, "Yes, she should be in the cloud at this time."

The disciples were shocked and discussed a lot.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, they could already feel the eerie feeling emanating from the clouds on Jianfeng Peak. What kind of terrifying feeling would it be if they walked into those clouds

One must know that even the masters of Yunxing Peak's lineage are unwilling to stay in the peak for too long, but Zhao Layue has been on the peak

"Jianfeng taking the sword is also a test of your will and wisdom."

The wisdom in this sentence obviously has a deep meaning, but Lin Wuzhi didn't explain further.

"Zhao Layue's perseverance is a model for three generations of disciples. You should learn from her."

After saying this, he glanced at Jing Jiu indiscriminately.

Jing Jiu understood what he meant, so he didn't turn around to avoid it, nor did he give any response. Looking at the cloud on the peak, he thought to himself: "Sword Intent Tempering Body?"

Body tempering with sword intent is a very bitter and dangerous method. Generally speaking, except for those sword cultivators whose lifespan is dying, no one will use it, because the risk is too great.

Zhao Layue is a key disciple of the Green Mountain Sect. She has a bright future, and she is only ten years old, so she still has a lot of time to spend on cultivation, but she resolutely chose this most difficult and dangerous path.

This made Jing Jiu appreciate her a little.

While Lin Wuzhi was speaking, several deacons from Yun Xingfeng's line came out from the building at the foot of the mountain, and began to register Jing Jiu and others in the roster and distribute sword cards at the same time.

They patiently told these disciples who had just entered the inner sect how to use sword cards, how to judge that they could no longer support themselves, and what to do when they were in danger.

Those disciples were a little surprised. Hearing these words, their expressions became more dignified. Some disciples couldn't help but said, "Could it be that we are going to climb the peak to get the sword today?"

Today is the first day for many disciples, including Jing Jiu, to enter the inner sect, so they have to face such a challenge

Lin Wuzhi looked at them and said with a smile: "Don't you just know that climbing the peak and taking the sword is my first lesson in Daqingshan?"

Suddenly, the deacons Yun Xingfeng who were registering on the roster stopped and looked somewhere.

When they saw the person walking towards Jianfeng, the deacons suddenly looked solemn, and hurried out to serve the side of the road, bowing and saluting, extremely respectful.

The disciples were a little surprised, thinking that some important person had come, so they also looked at the way they came.

It was an old man in black, with white hair and a haggard face. He didn't know how old he was, and he couldn't see anything unusual about it.

Lin Wuzhi's expression also became serious, he clasped his hands in front of him, bent slightly, and said slowly, "Send off Master Mo."

The old man in black stopped, saw him, cupped his hands, looked at Jing Jiu and the others, and asked, "Is this the inner disciple of this period?"

"Some will come in one after another." Lin Wuzhi replied.

The old man in black sized up these young disciples, with a happy smile on his face, and said, "Not bad, good, good, it's much better than ours back then."

With just a quick glance, the old man in black used his sword sense to see clearly the realm of these disciples.

The old man in black talked a few words with his disciples, asked where he came from, and where he practiced in the outer sect, with a gentle expression and a lot of encouragement in his words. The disciples didn't know who this old man was, but seeing the attitudes of Lin Wuzhi and those Yunxingfeng deacons, they guessed that he should be a great big shot, so they dared to be impatient and answered cautiously.

Lin Wuzhi stood quietly and listened, neither interrupting nor urging.

Jing Jiu felt a little strange that there were no sword masters on any of the nine peaks of Qingshan who could wear black clothes.

He can't see the realm of the old man in black now, but he can clearly feel that the other party's spirit is weakened and weak, and he should not be as good as Lin Wuzhi.

Why does Lin Wuzhi respect this person so much

He suddenly thought of something.

At this moment, the old man in black just looked at him, startled slightly, and said, "This child is so beautiful."

Lin Wuzhi smiled and said: "Everyone knows he is good-looking, that is to say, uncle, you copy books on Shiyue Peak every day, and never pay attention to these things."

The old man in black smiled, looked at Jing Jiu and said seriously, "Work harder in the future."

Jing Jiu didn't answer his words, just looked at him quietly.

The old man in black felt a little strange.

The atmosphere in the room was also a little strange.

Several disciples tried their best to wink at Jing Jiu, but Jing Jiu didn't seem to notice it, and still looked at the old man in black quietly.

Lin Wuzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and was about to reprimand Jing Jiu when the old man in black waved his hand to stop him, laughed at himself, turned and walked towards Jianfeng.

"gone?"

Lin Wuzhi asked.

"gone."

The old man in black said.

Suddenly, a voice sounded.

"How is your sword now?"

Jing Jiu looked at the back of the old man in black and said.
