Chapter 8: The Lingxiao Sword Sect
Five hundred miles away from the bluestone city, there is a mountain, the mountain is called Lingxiao Mountain, and there is a sect on the mountain, called the Lingxiao Sword Sect.
Today happened to be the day when the Ling Xiao Sword Sect recruited disciples on the first day of January.
Although the Lingxiao Sword Sect has long since declined and has been reduced to a ninth-rate sect, there are still too few people in the nearby mountain villages who know how to cultivate, so there are still many villagers who will send their children to Lingxiao Mountain when they are of the right age, so that they can learn the sword well.
After Ren Jian went up the mountain along the winding and difficult mountain road, he ignored the strange eyes of the villagers along the way who looked at him, walked straight to the mountain gate of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, and said to a few disciples who were chatting casually: "Excuse me, is this the Lingxiao Sword Sect?" ”
As soon as the words were asked, Ren Jian saw the long knife hanging from their waists, and he immediately slapped his forehead and said, "I'm sorry, I found the wrong place......"
With that, he turned to leave.
He was still wondering in his heart, why did he go the wrong way? It shouldn't be.
"Hey, hey, don't go, don't go......"
Ren Jian turned around to leave, and the two disciples suddenly came back to their senses and hurriedly shook their hands and shouted.
"Huh?!" Ren Jian looked back at them suspiciously, "Is there anything else?" ”
"You're not wrong, you're not going the wrong way, this is the Lingxiao Sword Sect." The two disciples said with a smile.
The Lingxiao Sword Sect has not had a newcomer for a long time, and today there is finally another innocent and lovely newcomer, and they can't let him go.
"This is the Lingxiao Sword Sect?" When Ren Jian heard this, he squinted and glanced up and down a few times, especially the long knife hanging from their waists, which made him look at them several times.
"Then how did you get the knife?" Ren Jian retracted his gaze and asked with a not very good-looking face.
"It's normal." A disciple said confidently, "Lingxiao Sword Sect, you don't have to hold a sword, just the name, don't care about these details." ”
"That's it." Another disciple also nodded, "Young man, don't stick to stereotypes and bad habits, we must be good at changing traditional concepts and have the courage to face the bleak life, so that we can break the trap of martial arts and become masters of both swords." ”
"Sorry to interrupt." Ren Jian was expressionless, turned around and left.
……
The two disciples talked about it and made countless promises, telling Ren Jian who there was still a crude sword technique in the Lingxiao Sword Sect, and Ren Jian reluctantly walked into the mountain gate with them.
"Why are you obviously called the Lingxiao Sword Sect, but now you are abandoning the sword and following the sword, what is wrong with the sword?"
Halfway through, Ren Jian asked the doubts that had been pressed in his heart for a long time.
He remembered that when he was in retreat, the sword soul was still very powerful in the Chosen Continent.
Otherwise, he would not have chosen to go to Shilipo to find the sword stone, wanting to realize the sword theory of the sword god and become a sword soul.
But why is it that after 100,000 years, the sword soul has become a disgrace?
Ren Jian really doesn't understand.
"What's so good about a sword?" When a disciple heard this, he glanced at Ren Jian in surprise, and said, "Sword, difficult to learn and difficult to master, knife, easy to learn and difficult to master, in this era of pursuit of immediate results, plus the lethality of the sword is not as good as the knife, just a little more flexible, is it not normal to be abandoned?" ”
"yes." The other disciple also nodded, and continued, "If it weren't for the fact that the previous heads of our Lingxiao Sword Sect finally figured it out and let us change our sword practice, it is estimated that the Lingxiao Sword Sect would have been wiped out hundreds of years ago. ”
"However, swords also have many advantages." Ren Jian was not reconciled, and said to them, "For example, handsome, showy, chic, flexible......"
"What's the use of what you're talking about?" The disciple looked at Ren Jian inexplicably, as if he was looking at a stubborn retarded person.
"No matter how handsome you are, no matter how showy, no matter how chic you are, you don't hurt enough, your combat power is low, team up with someone to go through the secret realm, see if anyone wants you?"
"Why doesn't anyone want it?" Ren Jian is puzzled.
"Let's say it." The disciple said as he walked, "We are all cultivators of the eighteenth layer of qi refining now, and we urgently need to build the foundation of the foundation of the foundation building, but the sect will not give it to you for free, you need to exchange the spirit stone for yourself, or collect materials to ask someone to refine the pill, collect the materials, the main medicine of the foundation pill is not so easy to find, there must be a peak beast in the place, and one person can't beat it, so you must join forces with people to ......"
"Then, there are many cultivators like us, who need to build a foundation building pill to build a foundation, and everyone joins forces to have a higher success rate, but the medicinal herb is definitely not inexhaustible, so it is destined to only be available to a few people."
He looked at Ren Jian and asked, "If you say that the main medicine of Zhuji Dan is only for four people, and the captain who knows where there is news of this herb, when he picks his teammates, will he want a swordsman who is easy to get started in the early stage and has strong combat power, or a swordsman who is difficult to get started in the early stage and has low combat power?" ”
"Swordsman." Ren Jian said without hesitation.
The disciple shook his head slightly, and sighed: "It seems that what I said is not clear enough, the teammates who can be picked are all eighteenth layers of qi refining, and they are all holding low-grade famous weapons, the sword is strong, the sword is weak, that place is very dangerous, one more oil bottle, one less strength, it is likely to cause the whole team to die." ”
He looked at Ren Jian and asked again, "Do you still want to choose a sword player?" ”
"Of course." Ren Jian nodded.
"Huh?"
The two disciples both stopped, looking at Ren Jian with a look in his eyes that was uncertain, wondering if he was sick in the brain?
"It's all said that it's dangerous, and if you don't have a force, you're afraid that you will be wiped out, so you still want to choose a swordman?"
The disciple said, and began to hesitate in his heart whether to take Ren Jian to the entrance ceremony.
"With me, what's the danger? I like swords, so of course I bring them with me. ”
Ren Jian said lightly, feeling that his assumption was meaningless.
The disciple knew that Ren Jian was sick in the brain, so he didn't talk much about the question of "whether he is in danger or not", shook his head and said: "You can take people safely, but others can't, everyone is not related to each other, why should people take others?" ”
"Even if the captain takes down the treasure weapon, he will not die under the claws of the fierce beast if he brings the weak, but originally a few people joined forces, half a cup of tea can kill the fierce beast guarding the herb, but because he brought a sword with low combat power, it has to be delayed until the time of a cup of tea."
"Who's willing?"
The disciple looked at Ren Jian, hoping that he would still be rescued, so he persuaded bitterly: "Everyone is about efficiency, time is money, who wants to accompany a swordsman to waste time in vain?" ”
Ren Jian was silent.
It turns out that this is the reason why the sword is despised and despised .
But since everyone is weak and disliked, why can't they level up together and work together happily to team up to do tasks, isn't that good?!
Why did I start to dislike myself after being disliked, and finally became so eager for quick success? Chose to abandon the sword from the knife?
He knew that the swordsman was rejected and disliked by the world, and all the members of the Lingxiao Sword Sect also abandoned the sword and followed the sword, representing their internal and the same atmosphere, the senior brother refused to bring the junior brother with a slight weakness, they were disliked outside, kicked into a ball, and rejected the junior brother inside, sneering, and finally made this appearance.
