Huai Shi couldn't be sure whether what she was seeing was real or illusory.

Because for the Shangquan Sword Master, it no longer matters whether it is real or illusory, what really matters is the willpower that reverses the phenomenon.

He thinks he's here, so he's here.

He was visible to all.

If he thinks he's drawn a knife, then everyone can see him draw it.

If he thinks the enemy he kills will die.

Then his enemies are dead.

It is this absolute confidence in oneself that creates this incredible intention.

Now, with the arrival of Shangquan, the originally gloomy atmosphere of the entire dojo was instantly shaken, and everyone's eyes suddenly became fanatical.

A glow that is almost like faith!

It was the pinnacle of countless samurai worshipping day and night, yearning for the chase, the sacredness of the world.

Now, he sat down at the back of his place, smiled and raised his glass, and greeted his friend beside him, "Ohtengu is okay?"

The big tengu grinned, "I've made do, I'm far from death." ”

Kamizumi smiled, "I thought you wouldn't be too lazy to come." ”

The Great Tengu shook his head indifferently, "Where there is alcohol, how can I not go?"

"Well, please. "Ueizumi bows.

"I don't remember what I promised. ”

The Great Tengu laughed strangely, but he raised his glass and drank with him.

Immediately after, the old man's gaze turned to Huai Shi, "Is Mr. Russell okay?"

"Eat well, sleep well, be healthy. Huai Shi replied, "I originally thought that the Sword Master would ask another person to come. ”

"Ha, isn't that guy still alive and energetic, what is there to care about?" the old man also raised a toast.

After drinking a cup of poetry with Huai, the old man extended his greetings to the distinguished guests who came today.

There is no need to do anything else, just being here is enough to become a Dinghai Divine Needle, giving the disciples of the dojo infinite confidence and joy.

The banquet began.

The song and dance continued.

There were no more surprises, a feast went on in an orderly manner, and in the end, it came to an end.

When the servants removed the cups and plates and served the refreshments, the dinner was finally coming to an end.

But everyone looked at the top and looked more and more expectantly.

I was looking forward to getting the guidance of the Sword Master, getting the blue eyes of the old man, and getting guidance from the peak.

Even if it's just to look at yourself.

"I guess you can't wait, right?"

Shangquan Sword Saint smiled slightly and put down the teacup, "It's embarrassing to say, as the hall master of the dojo, after being accustomed to living in seclusion, the only time to teach is only at this quadrennial banquet, which is really ashamed."

Time is precious, so let's get started. ”

He paused for a moment and said seriously and kindly, "This is the last lesson that I, as a sword master, can give to you. ”

"Here, I have a question to ask first. ”

The old man asked, "All of you here are experienced warriors, bold high-rollers, and clever sages, so can anyone answer my confusion?"

He asked, "The people here must be like me, seeking the Tao at all costs in order to chase the pinnacle and challenge, and to become strong."

But what I'm curious about is, what kind of power is the strongest?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone fell into a stunned place and froze in place.

Incomprehensible.

Known as Yingzhou, no, it may be one of the few powerhouses in the current realm, and the Venerable Sword Saint will ask such a question.

But Shangquan was still smiling, drinking tea, and quietly waiting for the disciples to come to the conclusion of thinking.

A quarter of an hour later, he put down his teacup and looked down at the last of his own disciples he had received.

"Hisakawa, have you thought about it?"

"Back to the teacher, the disciple is dull. ”

The young man with glasses bowed his head and replied respectfully: "In the hearts of disciples, a power like a teacher is the strongest. ”

Shangquan shook his head and smiled, "Isn't there someone better than me? Aren't the seven natural enemies the real pinnacle of the world?"

"That's not what I'm looking for. Jiuchuan replied categorically: "The only peak I want is the teacher." ”

"Then you can go back and practice again, probably ...... Eighty years? Sixty years if you want to do it sooner. Shangquan shook his head and sighed: "When the time comes, let's think about the sword saint of Yingzhou." ”

That is not a reprimand, nor is it a disappointment, but the result of a long time ago.

Instead of being disappointed, Hisakawa was ecstatic.

I was so excited that my hands were trembling.

"Yes!"

He leaned over respectfully.

And the people around him couldn't help but cast envious and even jealous glances.

The warrior hand-picked by the Sword Saint who can win the title of Yingzhou Sword Saint after eighty years......

There may not be a few eighty years in life, but how many sword masters are there in the whole world?

"So, what about you?" asked the Sword Saint Detective.

The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Students are also like Jiuchuan." ”

"But you are different from Kukawa, what he envies is my swordsmanship, and what you desire is power like mine. Shangquan said bluntly: "But my power is not the strongest, Zhongju, you have gone astray." ”

"The teacher is taught. Zhongju calmly bowed his head, as if he was ashamed: "When you understand this, it's too late." ”

"It doesn't matter, it's especially late to make amends. ”

Shangquan was relieved: "Tomorrow, you will go to the Imperial Palace to seek officials." The emperor is employing people, and he will not treat you lightly, and he also hopes that you can serve faithfully and serve the emperor as a cow and horse. ”

Zhongju was stunned for a moment, as if he was happy and sad, and for a long time, he respectfully bowed: "Thank you for your generosity." ”

"Then, there are two unscrupulous disciples in the lead, and the others can also speak freely, right?" Shangquan then asked again, casually pointing to a disciple: "In your opinion, what should the strongest power look like?"

The disciple was stunned for a moment, hesitated, and finally asked tentatively: "Those who follow me will live, and those who oppose me will die?"

"Hahaha, that's not bad. ”

Shangquan stroked his knees and smiled, "Then you shouldn't come to the dojo, but you should go to the astronomical society, if you go to defend Zarathustra, the whole current situation will be just a little plaything for you." ”

As he spoke, the old man waved his hand, signaling that he should not be ashamed, and asked another person.

The student bowed his head and replied solemnly: "The disciple believes that unfettered freedom is the real power. ”

"Then you may be in pain, don't break it. ”

Kamiizumi said with pity: "The power you want does not exist in the present situation, I am afraid that you can only get rid of the shackles by going to the border and hell? Maybe one day, you will go to the tomb of the returnless, abandon all this, and go to hell to seek liberation......

As he spoke, he looked at Yuan Yuan, "Little girl, you are the top of the sword hunt, what kind of strength do you have in your cognition that is called the strongest?"

"I don't know. ”

Yuan Yuan replied calmly: "There are too many powerful people in this world, even my grandfather can't become the strongest." But in my opinion, the strongest force is something that can bring hope to those who are suffering. ”

"Then you have to learn more from your teacher. ”

Shangquan glanced at Huai Shi with a smile, and then looked at the forest hut: "So, what about this brave young man?"

The hut in the forest leaned over respectfully and gave the standard answer: "Its eyes are obscure, its sight is clear, it does not eat or sleep, and the wind and rain are ......."

This is a decisive judgment that every Lin family member will make.

- The top of the path of evil karma: Candle Nine Yin!

"Hahahaha, whether it's real or not, it's a slippery little guy. Kamiizumi shook his head and laughed, "But so lonely, won't it be lonely for you?"

The cabin in the woods bowed its head and did not answer.

"Think again, young man. Kamiizumi said, "Think about it, the rest of your life is long enough for you to find the answer you want." ”

This time, the cabin in the woods was no longer silent, and suddenly raised his head and asked in a loud voice, "What if there is no answer?"

"Then turn yourself into the answer. ”

Kamiizumi said, "If you want to follow the path that no one has gone before, then you yourself are the beacon of your successor, and you should not be afraid, but you should have the joy of the seeker." ”

The boy froze in place.

Kamiizumi withdrew his gaze and looked to the side.

"Hey, just teach your disciples well, what are you doing with me?" the big tengu scratched the tip of his red nose, a little helpless.

Kamizumi said, "It's all here, why be stingy?"

"In my generation's opinion, being able to have endless wine, endless delicacies, and endless excitement is the most beautiful and powerful power in the world...... Speaking out really makes the juniors laugh. ”

"Aha, those who are content are always happy, so why be ashamed?"

Kamizumi stroked his palms and laughed, and finally, his gaze looked at Huaishi.

Huai Shi reluctantly put down the wine glass.

"So, can Huai Shijun give me an answer?" Shangquan asked, "What is the power you are chasing for a person like you, who has achieved such an achievement, and still can't satisfy and can't stop longing?"

"It's not something far away, Mr. Ueizumi, it's not an outsider, and it's not worth mentioning. ”

Huai Shi shrugged her shoulders and smiled self-deprecatingly: "You don't have to be ugly." ”

At best, it's just a happy life.

Such ordinary aspirations and grandiose ambitions are not worth mentioning at all.

Shangquan bowed his head and did not force it anymore.

Keep asking.

At first, some people may look confused, but later, they all fall into deep thought, and in the end, their faces are solemn and their eyes are lowered.

Listen respectfully.

"I'm here today not to hold a wish-sharing meeting, nor to solicit an answer to this doomed inconclusion. ”

Kamiizumi paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Presumably, from so many answers, you have already got the answers you want. ”

The strongest force in the world?

This was a false proposition from the start.

An unreachable phantom, a mirage far away that cannot be chased.

It's just that it looks beautiful.
