Chapter 689: Paving the Way

Ji Shaokang is just over forty-nine this year, which is the prime of life for a man, but he has gray hair.

But he didn't look old, he sat there casually with a straight waist, but he gave people an extremely calm feeling.

There is no edge in his body, only a sense of near-perfection, Lu Hong knows that this kind of realm that has lost its edge, become all-encompassing, and return to the basics is truly terrifying.

In this realm alone, his reputation as the "Holy Hand of the Sword" is by no means in vain.

In his memory, Ji Shaokang didn't do much.

Over the years, Dasheng Guan has Wei selflessly in charge, and it can be regarded as orderly in general, and with Ji Shaokang's identity and status, of course, there is nothing worth his shot, so even Lu Hong is not clear about the extent of his swordsmanship.

When he walked to the door, Sun Yao stopped and stopped moving forward, only Lu Hong entered the house alone, standing quietly behind Ji Shaokang, without speaking or greeting.

"If I'm not mistaken, you didn't start practicing swords until you were six years old",

Ji Shaokang said.

The conversation between the two was also straightforward.

Lu Hongdao: "Yes",

Ji Shaokang said: "Shao'an is two years earlier than you, I taught him to practice swordsmanship when he was four years old, and by the time he was fourteen years old, his swordsmanship was already very mature, not much worse than Ren Feixian back then."

Lu Hong nodded.

Ji Shaokang said: "Even you, I have assisted three generations of inheritance, Kunlun is born with divine power, bold and courageous, although he is a little stubborn and self-serving, but the flaws are not hidden, and his limelight was indeed unique for a while."

"It is my honor to witness the road they have walked, although they are not prodigal, they are not waves",

"I originally wanted to train Shao'an to be like Feiji, and he himself has always taken this as an example, hoping that he will become the hope of this village like Feiji",

"He may not be able to do it, but you have not given him a chance",

His tone was still so steady, but Lu Hong could hear a little sadness, and his face became more and more serious.

Ji Shaokang said: "You have taken away almost all the things he cherishes, the identity of the inheritance, the eyes of expectation, the lofty status, and Sun Yao",

"Shao'an is a proud and extreme person, you took everything from him, he can only go",

Lu Hong said: "I'm sorry",

Ji Shaokang said: "When he left, no one informed him, not even I, a father, did not know, over the years he was alone outside, and suffered a lot, but I could only stay in the sword house",

"I, Ji Shaokang, have dedicated my life to the family, been loyal to the sword, and assisted three generations of successors, and your token was also taken from me, and I have never owed anyone",

"In addition to Shao'an",

"So he went back to Ji's house again, and I couldn't refuse him when I asked him to give him a chance",

"I know he's done wrong, but I can't just give him a chance",

Lu Hong said: "I understand very well",

He had never been a father, but he was able to understand the feelings.

Ji Shaokang said: "But I just gave him a chance, and didn't help him",

"The younger generation is puzzled, please teach the seniors",

Ji Shaokang said: "Shao'an originally wanted me to hand over all the divine swords in the sword house to him, but I didn't agree",

Lu Hong's eyes couldn't help but move, and when he looked at him again, there was a look of admiration in his eyes.

Ji Shaokang said: "There are nearly 100 divine swords in the sword house, each of which is a rare weapon in the world, and they have all been with its owner, and I have spent more thoughts on them than on my wife."

"Many people think that the sword intent and divinity of these famous swords have become waste swords when they are included in the sword diagram, but you and I know that they are definitely not, just the traces left by the owner of each sword on the sword body are enough to make people covet, and my cultivation has been able to continue to improve over the years thanks to the nicks on these divine swords."

Lu Hong nodded.

He is a master of swords like Ji Shaokang, of course he knows what the sword marks left by the previous generation of masters mean, for the swordsman, it is like a huge treasure locked in a box, as long as you can find the key to open the box, the treasure in the box is at your disposal.

Today's swordsmen pay attention to experience, thinking that only when they have more knowledge can they set foot on the peak of kendo with their vision, they can't understand how Ji Shaokang, who has been locked in a palm-sized place, can have such a high attainment, but they don't know that over the years, Ji Shaokang has continued to comprehend the sword marks on nearly a hundred divine swords, and studied the sword scores left by the ancestors, and has already surpassed many people in terms of vision.

Lu Hong still remembered that in the bamboo forest on the Xiaoyao Peak of the Red Mansion of Baijian, the sword marks left by Sword Immortal Xiao Wu on the green bamboo also benefited him a lot.

Ji Shaokang said: "Shao'an is a smart man, if these famous swords are in his hands, he will benefit a lot, and he can also dedicate them to the God of Wealth Pavilion, so as to go further."

Lu Hong nodded noncommittally.

"So I didn't hand over the famous sword to him, this sword has been guarded by the Ji family for thousands of years, I will not let him be lost in my hands, let alone let the reputation accumulated by the ancestors of the Ji family be ruined in my hands",

"Thank you seniors",

"But I don't want to give you the sword at once",

Lu Hongdao: "Of course, the predecessors have their own reasons for doing this",

Ji Shaokang bowed slightly, and said: "I want to know how far you and Shao'an have grown, and I also want to know if the arbitrary choice between the village chief and Sun Yao was wrong."

"Do you have a conclusion from your predecessors?",

Lu Hong's eyes burned.

He knew that Ji Shaokang's answer would almost determine the outcome of this meeting, whether to reconcile or continue to be enemies.

Ji Shaokang raised his head, looked at the ancestral tablet offered on the previous plan, sighed and said, "They are not wrong",

"You are stronger than Shao'an",

Lu Hong smiled faintly.

Ji Shaokang said: "When the village chief brought you back to the village, he asked Daoxiang's god operator to calculate a hexagram for you, and the god operator said that you are a person of destiny, luck is added, purple gas is coming to the east, the four saints are guarded, and the life is indescribable, the village chief is convinced, at that time, he was seriously injured and dying, and he was anxious to find the next successor, Ji Xuewei was entrusted by him, and saw that you were clever and cute, although you were young, but your demeanor was quite similar, so she also regarded you as a treasure, and did not hesitate to cultivate a Sun Yao to accompany you."

"I scoffed at this, the generations of Xinghua Village have been running for the curse of Xianmen, which one believes in what destiny? Which one is the one who is obedient? I thought that the village chief was a golden iron horse all his life, but when he was old, he was confused, what kind of words do you believe?"

"Later, I learned that he was never confused, everything he did was paving the way for you, and he was really a very admirable person."
