Chapter 386: The Decline of Sword Cultivation
In fact, the two of them were too careless, when Luoyang used the fire technique, it was clear that the spiritual fire had been extinguished by the monster. This shows that the strength of the other party is far beyond the reach of the two.
Therefore, when Su Qing said that he would go back to the sect first to ask for help, Luoyang immediately nodded in agreement. After yesterday's poisoning, he was also deeply jealous of the monster that had never appeared.
When Su Qing withdrew the array, he found that the two of them were already in the mountains behind the fishing village.
"Su Qing, this array of yours is really extraordinary, and you can even take people to transfer at random!" Looking at the lush village forests around him, Luoyang sighed with relief.
"Yes, it's Senior Brother Lu's ingenuity to make such an exquisite array." Su Qing was very pleased to put the small array plate in his hand into his arms.
When Lu Pei gave her this gossip array plate, although Su Qing was also very happy, because she had already received the Qingquan Senior Brother Ruyi array plate. Therefore, I didn't take it to heart at the beginning, but I didn't expect that this array would save their lives today.
At the same time, I was a little distressed to think that the Ruyi array that Senior Brother Qingquan had added had been destroyed, but I was relieved to think that the array had also won a glimmer of life for the two of them.
"Lu Pei is really a natural talent in the formation, no wonder he has always been loved by Changming Zhenjun like flesh, so that he indulged in his willful and reckless behavior, and finally ended up like this." Luoyang has always been at odds with Lu Pei, and he has many complaints about his public regret of marriage, but despite this, he has to obey his formation ability.
"Yes, Senior Brother Lu can be regarded as a proud son of heaven who is similar to you, but he is just unladylike when he meets people, as a result. But he was harmed by love! Su Qing sighed and said, feeling more hatred for Lu Qiu'er in her heart.
When the two left Beihai, the originally dead fishing village suddenly became lively.
The fishermen, who had been sluggish and mechanical, suddenly became alive and came out of the courtyard one after another to the North Sea......
Besides, Su Qing and Luoyang drove all the way to the southeast with Liuyunzhan.
In order to prevent being robbed by high-level monks and demon beasts halfway, Su Qing opened all the hidden spirit arrays on the Liuyun Lamp, and. An invisible formation was also laid out by Luoyang. Disappear all traces.
In this way, the two of them traveled day and night, looking for a straight line, and traveled with all their strength for three months before returning to the Floating Cloud Sect.
Looking at the familiar sect hall. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. I didn't expect to go out of the mountain this time. It was three years before and after, and most of the time was in the North Sea.
Speaking of the North Sea. Not only is there no Xiuzhen sect nearby, but it is also sparsely populated.
Originally, the productivity of this realm was not high, and although there were disputes between countries from time to time, the population had not been abundant, but the cultivation realm had never paid attention to this matter.
On the way back from the North Sea, I passed through several secular countries, and now the war is raging, and the smoke is everywhere! Looking at the countless displaced secular people, Su Qing was moved with compassion.
She also quietly cast spells to save some people, but after seeing more of these miserable people, she found that these war disasters were beyond her alone.
During this period, she also asked Luoyang, why did the cultivation world ignore the war in the secular world? Luo Yang said with a smile at the time: "Once a cultivator steps into the path, it is equivalent to detaching from the world, so it is not easy to interfere too much in these things. ”
But Su Qing's heart was still very heavy, but she remembered that even though she lived in the modern era in the first half of her life, civilization had developed so high, and there were still wars from time to time.
Seeing that Su Qing had always been unable to let go of the secular disputes, Luoyang earnestly persuaded: "Su Qing, the way of heaven is not only for us monks, but also for secular people, and the war is also a calamity that the world should bear. Therefore, there has always been an unwritten agreement in the cultivation world that those who cultivate the truth, especially the monks after the foundation has been built, cannot participate in secular disputes. ”
Because Luoyang had always been worried about the Beihai Yaksha, as soon as he entered the mountain gate, he invited Su Qing to join him and go to his master's cave mansion to explain the matter.
But for Su Qing to refuse, she knew that Luoyang would definitely tell the good and true monarch about this matter, for this matter, the door has its own conclusion, but now what she is worried about is the war between the world, I don't know, Qi can be involved.
Therefore, she planned to go back to Yunzhongjian to make a batch of medicines, and then go to Qi State, after all, she and Han Jin also had a year-long friendship.
Moreover, the queen of Qi, Guo Yu's family, had the grace to take her in when she first entered this world.
After returning to Yunzhongjian, I saw Yan'er practicing swords outside the courtyard, and after a few years, he even cultivated a dignified sword intent. Seeing that he was holding dual swords and devoting himself to the sword shadow, Su Qing didn't intend to alarm him.
But as soon as she got closer, she was still aware of it, Yan'er put away the spirit sword and ran towards her happily, shouting excitedly: "Master, you are finally back, do you see that my swordsmanship has improved?" ”
A year ago, when he was practicing swordsmanship, he suddenly felt that there was a breakthrough, and the swordsmanship taught by Uncle Xu at the beginning was also more thorough.
"Very good, Yan'er, I didn't expect you to cultivate your sword intent so quickly, you continue to work hard, go back to freshen up for your master, and go to Lingcao Peak to meet your ancestor." Su Qing looked at him lovingly.
Su Qing was about to turn around, but was stopped by Yan'er: "Master! Su Qing looked at him calmly, and Yan'er said with some hesitation: "Master, you, can you take me to Lingcao Peak with you?" ”
Su Qing replied without thinking: "Okay, it's rare that you have such intentions, your ancestor will definitely be happy to see you!" It's the teacher's fault to say it, and I never thought to take you to meet you. ”
Seeing that Su Qing agreed to him so easily, Yan'er couldn't help but jump: "Really? Master, please go into the cave and pour you tea. ”
After saying that, he ran to her and opened the courtyard door, and went straight to the upper room.
As soon as Su Qing entered the courtyard, she saw Lu Pei come out of the room and greet her: "Su Qing, you are back!" What opportunities did you encounter this time out of the mountain? ”
"Senior Brother Lu, I haven't seen you for three years, you have a good point in cultivation, if you continue like this, it will be just around the corner to build the foundation again! Congratulations! When Su Qing saw him, in just three years, his cultivation had risen by another level, and he couldn't help but praise.
The two chatted and entered the upper room side by side.
Speaking of this experience, Su Qing sighed: "I didn't encounter anything by chance, but I have been chased and killed by demon beasts. It took several escapes from death to return safely. ”
Speaking of this, she said to Lu very sincerely: "I also want to thank Senior Brother Lu for the array plate you gave me, otherwise, I would probably have already fallen in Beihai." ”
"You're welcome, Su Qing, you went to Beihai on this trip? What kind of natural treasures are born there? Lu Pei asked with some surprise.
Hearing this, Su Qing couldn't help but smile and said, "We were also chased by high-level demon beasts, so we strayed into the North Sea, but we didn't expect to be swallowed by the kraken again......"
"You've been in the belly of the giant kun for nearly a year?" Lu Pei said in surprise: "It's really lucky to be able to escape from the belly of the fifth-order sea!" ”
Su Qing didn't tell him about the Beihai Yaksha he encountered. Originally. She wasn't sure what kind of monster the monster that had never shown up was, at least the North Sea Yaksha was just her guess.
"yes. Senior Brother Lu. Have you been in retreat here for the last few years? Have you ever been out? Su Qing put down the spirit teacup in his hand and asked casually.
Lu Pei replied without thinking: "Exactly." As you said, these few people have been concentrating on cultivation in your land, and I hope that I can quickly improve my cultivation. Strive to build a foundation as soon as possible. ”
Su Qing had originally planned to tell him about the secular battles he had seen, after all, he was also born into the most fiercely fought country, the royal family that left the country.
But now seeing his attitude of devoting himself to the Tao and concentrating on cultivation in order to build a foundation again, Su Qing dispelled this idea in vain. Perhaps, as Luoyang said, since the cultivator is out of the world, he should no longer interfere too much in the world.
Moreover, from his several travels, it can be seen that the cultivation realm is not very peaceful.
The two chatted for two or three years, and after their respective practice experiences and experiences, Lu Pei got up and said goodbye.
Looking at his increasingly upright figure as his cultivation grew, Su Qing couldn't help but smile: Lu Pei has now returned to that immortal posture, describing Yun Shu's appearance at first sight, but there are more vicissitudes between steps.
"Master, shall we go to Lingcao Peak now? Do you see me dressed like that? After Su Qing freshened up a little, she saw Yan'er dressed in a light gray disciple uniform and looked at her with a worried expression.
Su Qing looked at him carefully, and saw that his originally feminine and beautiful face had become a little cold and handsome due to the cultivation of sword intent, and he faintly revealed a masculine aura when he put on his disciple's clothes.
Seeing this, Su Qing couldn't help but be happy: "Okay, that's good, but where did you get the sect clothes?" It is also Master's negligence. ”
Hearing her appreciation, Yan'er said happily, "How can this be blamed on Master?" I heard Uncle Luoyang say, when you started, you also wore his disciple uniform! ”
"Oh, your disciple uniform was also given by your uncle Luoyang?" Su Qing asked with interest.
Yan'er said with some excitement: "Yes, he also taught me, please take me to see the ancestor as soon as possible......"
Unexpectedly, Luoyang not only cared for her, but even Yan'er was very attentive to her after she didn't agree with the time when she accepted her apprentices, thinking of this, Su Qing's heart couldn't help but warm.
After Su Qing's master and apprentice came to Lingcao Peak, the Jade Rank Zhenren liked Yan'er very much after seeing him, and after hearing that he was good at swordsmanship, he also specially gave him an Ancient Qingyin Sword: "Although I am good at Danshu, I have admired the way of the sword since I entered the Dao, but due to my limited qualifications, I can't become a sword cultivator." ”
Speaking of this, he sighed and said to Su Qing: "Now there are many apprentices and grandchildren who sit down for the master, and only you master and apprentice are the only ones who can do swordsmanship!" ”
Then, he looked at Yan'er lovingly and said, "Although your master also has a body of swordsmanship, she is a cultivator, and her talent in swordsmanship is extremely high, so she can't devote herself to practicing swordsmanship. Therefore, you must practice seriously in the future, and strive to create your own sword cultivation in the door! ”
Hearing this, Yan'er was excited in her heart, and a sense of pride arose: I didn't expect this Jiedan Master Ancestor to value him so much! At the same time, he also secretly vowed to practice swordsmanship well in his heart, and lived up to the expectations of his ancestors.
"Master, do you really think that Yan'er can achieve great success in sword cultivation when he is in the same sword?" Hearing that the apprentice was expected and valued by the master like this, Su Qing was naturally very happy.
After all, Yan'er was a disciple she brought out single-handedly, and she had always felt guilty because of the different physiques of the two of them, as well as the different exercises they practiced, and she couldn't guide them in the process of cultivation, and she was afraid that she would miss Yan'er's future cultivation path.
When he taught him to practice swordsmanship, it was also because he could only teach him this at that time, and Yan'er was also quite interested in swordsmanship, but he didn't expect him to have such a high talent.
Her ultimate goal was just to hope that Yan'er could become a real sword cultivator, but she didn't expect the master to say that she expected him to create a peak of sword cultivation in the sect.
Looking at the two masters and apprentices who were extremely happy, the Jade Rank Zhenren sighed and said: "The sword cultivation path is originally a compulsory technique for cultivators in the cultivation realm, and just a thousand years ago, there was a peak of sword cultivation in this sect. ”
As he spoke, he got up and came to the outside of the hall, pointed to the northwest direction, the lone peak shaped like a sharp sword, and said: "At the beginning, the Spirit Sword Peak was there, and later, with the fall of Uncle Yue Jian, it became a peerless peak in just three hundred years, and no disciple can step on it!" ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly turned around and looked at Yan'er who was following behind with burning eyes: "Child, you practice swordsmanship well, and I hope that one day, you will be able to set foot on that Spirit Sword Peak again!" ”
Su Qing asked with some curiosity: "Master, is it difficult to set foot in the Spirit Sword Peak?" ”
Every time she came to Lingcao Peak, she would pass by Lingjian Peak, but she never noticed any difference in it, thinking that it was just an ordinary mountain in the door.
Now listening to Master's words, she realized that the Spirit Sword Peak was definitely not what she imagined.
Sure enough, the real person of the Jade Rank showed a look of nostalgia: "There are ninety-nine eighty-one spirit sword formations on that Spirit Sword Peak, from bottom to top, the difficulty of the sword formation gradually increases. Back then, I also used my blood to break through to the Spirit Sword Peak, but I only entered the ninth formation and was trapped in the sword heart for a while, and as a result, I stopped here for the rest of my life. ”
Then, he said to Su Qing with a solemn expression: "Back then, before your Yue Jian Master fell, he left a trace of spirit, and told your master to help him find a descendant to inherit the Spirit Sword Peak. ”
"Isn't there a disciple under the ancestor of the Yue Sword Master?" Su Qing asked puzzled.
If you say that you are the master of a peak of the sect, not to mention this peak, even if you have a disciple to inherit it, how can you entrust it to other peaks?
The Jade Rank True Man sighed and said, "Over the years, the cultivation realm has not been as calm as you have seen, and the turmoil in the past thousand years has been nothing but the result of the mutual control of the major sects. ”
Although the disciples of Lingjian Peak withered back then, there was no shortage of outstanding characters, but in the trip to Luoxian Mountain, more than 300 people were killed at one time! All of the elite disciples have died!
Senior Brother Jian Ran, who led the team, was the only disciple of Uncle Yue Jian, and at the same time, he was also the next peak master who was scheduled to take over Lingjian Peak, and they withered together in Luoxian Mountain.
At that time, the entire Spirit Sword Peak was only five hundred disciples, and this matter made the Yue Jian Master Uncle who had just succeeded in the knot break into the heart of the elixir, and after breaking into Luoxian Mountain several times to find disciples, the whole person was mentally riotous, and he had no intention of taking charge of the affairs in the peak, plus the original sword cultivators were scarce, so in less than three hundred years, the entire Spirit Sword Peak was useless.
