The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 25: There must be a sword

Views:

Liu Shisui had been learning swords from Gu Han, but he was not qualified to enter Liangwang Peak, so he still practiced swords by the Xijian River.

Jing Jiu knew that place, but he had never even been out of the cave, so naturally he had never been there.

Going upstream along the Xijian River, the water surface gradually widens until it reaches the end, facing a smooth stone wall about hundreds of feet high.

The clear water flows down from the stone wall, and ripples are produced when passing through the densely packed sword holes, which looks very beautiful.

Several feet away on the stream, a row of boulders emerged from the water, smooth and wet, making it difficult to stand firmly.

More than ten disciples stood on the stone and practiced their swords.

The intent of the sword is strong, occasionally there is the sound of the wind breaking, the white light is fleeting, and swords fly out from time to time.

Some flying swords went deep into the stone wall and then flew back. The disciple looked calm and confident.

Some flying swords were several feet away from the stone wall and fell into the water. The disciples jumped into the water to retrieve them, looking a little embarrassed and ashamed.

Some disciples stood on the shore a little farther away, watching the scenes enviously.

They haven't been able to take the sword from Jianfeng, but these fellow disciples have been able to break through the wall with flying swords from a distance of more than ten feet, and enter the realm of Shouyi.

Jing Jiu saw Liu Shisui also standing on the rock in the stream, and walked over.

Seeing his figure, the disciples were very surprised and started discussing one after another.

Just like when he walked out of the small courtyard for the first time in Nansong Pavilion.

Liu Shisui retracted the flying sword, looked at the clear sword hole on the stone wall, was somewhat satisfied with his progress, and then saw Jing Jiu.

He was very pleasantly surprised, and immediately showed strong uneasiness, because it was inconvenient to speak, he shook his head at Jing Jiu, and signaled him to go back with his eyes, and went to find him later.

That's too late.

Gu Han had already noticed the movement behind him, turned to look at Jing Jiu, and said indifferently, "What's the matter?"

Dozens of eyes fell on Jing Jiu.

Jing Jiu glanced at him, but didn't speak.

Not everyone saw Jing Jiu's eyes, but everyone clearly sensed what he meant.

—If it’s okay, what am I doing here

That being the case, your question is naturally nonsense.

The atmosphere by the stream suddenly became a little uneasy.

Unexpectedly, Gu Han did not get angry, but asked, "What's the matter?"

Jing Jiu said, "It's none of your business."

There was an uproar by the stream, both the disciples and the teacher were shocked.

How dare an ordinary disciple speak to Senior Brother Gu Han of Liangwang Peak with such an attitude!

Jing Jiu didn't intentionally humiliate Gu Han, he didn't even understand why everyone's eyes became so shocked.

He was just answering Gu Han's question.

What he wants to do has nothing to do with Gu Han.

But he didn't think about what his answer would mean to everyone.

Liu Shisui was extremely nervous, and hurried back from the stream.

He wanted to explain a few words for Jing Jiu, but Gu Han stopped him.

"It's been half a year, and you still haven't made any progress in your realm, and you can't even see the shadow of Jian Guo."

Gu Han looked at Jing Jiu expressionlessly and said, "I heard that you want to use Uncle Mo's sword, do you think you have the qualifications?"

Jing Jiu said, "Yes."

The creek was quiet.

With a pop, someone couldn't help laughing out loud.

People thought about how Jing Jiu might respond to Gu Han's reprimand, but no one thought that he ended the conversation with one word.

He didn't even think about it when he said the word.

Gu Han's face became a little gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "With the elixir, it is never possible to step on the real Dao of Tongtian, so you should give up your heart."

This time, it was not Jing Jiu who gave the answer, but a gentle yet majestic voice.

"The way is facing the sky, who can judge which method is correct?"

People dispersed one after another, and Gu Han bowed slightly.

The person who came was Uncle Meili from Qingrong Peak, his face was like a winter plum in the snow, beautiful but not gorgeous, with a sense of coldness.

She looked at Gu Han and said, "No matter who leads the door, the cultivation is up to each person. How Jing Jiu cultivates really has nothing to do with you. You should not care about him."

Gu Han said expressionlessly: "I don't care about his life or death, I just want to control his mouth."

The crowd was divided again, and Junior Sister Yushan and the young man surnamed Yuan from Lelang County rushed over with Lin Wuzhi.

Lin Wuzhi looked at Gu Han and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Gu, Jing Jiu is in my class, even if you want to take care of it, it's not your turn."

Gu Han took a deep breath, took a deep look at Jing Jiu, turned around and walked out.

"It's up to you to decide what to do in the future."

Naturally, he didn't say this to Jing Jiu, but to Liu Shisui, and the meaning was very clear.

If Liu Shisui didn't follow him at this time, but stayed with Jing Jiu, then he wouldn't have to try to walk up Liangwang Peak in the future.

Liu Shisui glanced at Jing Jiu, then turned his head to look at Gu Han's figure in the distance, his small face was full of hesitation and struggle.

Jing Jiu turned around and walked in another direction.

Looking at his back, that Uncle Meili of Qingrong Peak showed admiration on his face.

"Jing Jiu, you still have to work harder and get the sword in your hand earlier."

She said to Jing Jiu who was going away.

Jing Jiu didn't look back, nor did he stop.

"okay."

Seeing Jing Jiu's figure disappearing in the creek, Uncle Meili narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering what he was thinking.

Lin Wuzhi walked up to her and said with a smile, "Master, Qing Rongfeng is also interested in Jing Jiu?"

Uncle Meili glanced at him and said, "If that's what you mean by the sect leader, then of course we won't fight."

Lin Wuzhi said, "It's Master Mo's intention. He wants to see if Jing Jiu has hope."

Uncle Meili sneered, and said: "Then don't think about it, as long as Jing Jiu can bear the sword, he will definitely enter our Qingrong Peak. Look at the child who was born, where else can he enter if he doesn't enter our place?"

The two looked at each other and separated.

For the Qingshan Sect, the Inheriting Sword Conference had a great impact on the inheritance and heritage of Zhufeng.

If one can get a truly excellent disciple, decades or even hundreds of years later, there may be an extra peerless sea-breaker among the peaks.

If you miss that outstanding disciple, then you will be giving this peerless strong man to another sword peak.

Jing Jiu is obviously an unusual disciple, who would not pay attention? If it turns out that he is really a waste, then that's fine, but now there is still half a year before the Chengjian Conference, no matter how bad it is, there will be the next Chengjian Conference, who would cut off all hope in advance

That's why people like Gu Han appear in places like Liangwang Peak that don't need inheritance and don't lack talent.

Jing Jiu knew very well why Meili and Lin Wuzhi from Qingrong Peak came out to rescue him, but he didn't care.

Until now, he himself is not sure which peak he wants to go to.

Back in the cave, he spread his palms, looked at the light blue pill in his palm, and was silent for a while.

This elixir is called Xuanji Pill, which is of great help to the stability of the sword pills of the disciples of the Shouyi Realm, and it is naturally very rare.

Yesterday, Junior Sister Yushan told him about the Chengjian Conference. He thought that it might be necessary for him to be ten years old, so he had today's trip, and then encountered today's event.

Thinking of the look Gu Han gave him before leaving, Jing Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly, a smile appeared on his beautiful face, and he said to himself, "It's interesting."

For Jing Jiu, boredom is a very rare emotion, and the same is true for a little meaning.

Before leaving, Gu Han took a deep look at him, and checked his body inside and out with his sword sense.

Domineering and fierce, unreasonable and condescending.

Jing Jiu hadn't encountered such a thing for many years.

This made him a little uncomfortable and a little unhappy.

If in the past, when encountering such a thing, he felt displeased, what would he do

Jing Jiu thought about it quietly.

If you don't like it, you will naturally kill it with a sword.

Of course, not now.

Gu Han is not guilty of death.

He is not a man to kill.

More importantly, to kill the opponent with one sword...

First, you need a sword.

He has no sword now.

And without a sword, naturally, he couldn't participate in the Sword Inheritance Conference.

It seems that I really need a sword.

The bracelet on his wrist vibrated slightly.

"I can't use you."

Jing Jiu said, "And I promised Xiao Mo."

There must be a sword.

The sword is on the sword peak.

Jing Jiu went to Jianfeng.
