Chapter 28: The Blue Lotus Chapter

May 14, 2018

After the three of them discussed outside the council hall, they returned to the house again, and Zhao Shenlu took the lead and lit up the entire venue with a bright smile.

"Good news, everyone."

In a word, the Qinglian elders in the council hall showed expectant expressions one after another, especially seeing the flying spirit on Zhao Shenlu's face, as well as the sad face of the sect master, they couldn't help but make up the sect master's reluctance to give up the sword book restoration, and from then on, the Qinglian Academy would return to a peaceful future.

However, then, Zhao Shenlu's words made the atmosphere of the venue fall into the abyss.

"Mr. Wang Jiu has already promised to help restore the Qinglian Sword Codex, and our precious flood desolation inheritance has been preserved!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Several elders at the conference table were stunned, and after a while, Shang Wuming was the first to get up and asked incredulously, "Wait, why did you suddenly ......?"

Feng Xiaolu next to him also stared at him in surprise, his lips kept moving, but he couldn't speak, but his little face became redder and redder.

And Tan Luo, the only male among the elders, kept wiping the lenses of his glasses, sweating nonstop.

The three elders all looked embarrassed and reluctant, but Zhao Shenlu just smiled and said, "I know that this news came a bit suddenly, and it is not easy for everyone to accept it immediately, but after all, it is a major matter related to the interests of the academy, and I believe everyone will be able to understand it." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold voice.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid we don't understand."

As he spoke, a plainly dressed woman who appeared to be in her early thirtiesβ€”or in her late twentiesβ€”walked slowly into the council chamber. She had a pretty, slightly majestic face, and eyes that were as calm as water, and when she gazed at her with a serious gaze, it was like being poured down from the top of her head by a cool mountain spring.

If it weren't for the unique True Yuan fluctuations on her body, and the residual trace of alcohol that was suppressed with perfume, it would really be difficult to connect her with the crazy business witty words of Fang Cai.

After the woman entered the house, she bowed to everyone present and said apologetically: "The witty words are just drunk and out of shape, please forgive me." ”

Zhao Shenlu smiled: "Woke up? ”

Shang Miaoyu glanced at her: "I'm disappointed, right?" The drunken gold thin didn't work for me. ”

Zhao Shenlu said: "I really didn't expect your alcohol to progress so quickly, that piece of paper was soaked in the essence of eternal drunkenness for three days and three nights, even if the sect master old man ate it, he had to run naked on the spot, after you swallowed it by mistake, you actually just got drunk for a while and came to your senses, it is better for you to take over as the sect master of the Holy Sect." ”

"City Lord Zhao, if you haven't been drinking, don't talk drunk. And this is the Qinglian Hall, so don't discuss things that have nothing to do with Qinglian. ”

Shang Miaoyu's serious speech soon made Zhao Shenlu shrug his shoulders and say that he had nothing to say.

The sect master sighed: "Elder Shang, long time no see. ”

Shang Miaoyu looked apologetic: "Sect Master, I haven't seen you for a long time, I am drunk and cultivating, and I may not be able to sober for a few days throughout the year...... It's rare to wake up today, but I have to refuse your kindness. I know that the restoration of the Sword Code is indeed related to the overall interests of Qinglian Academy, but as the chief elder of the Academy, I have to express my opposition. ”

The sect master asked, "Why?" ”

"Because the Qinglian Sword Code will do more harm than good to today's Qinglian Academy." Shang Miaoyu replied, "The sword is a murder weapon, and the main killer is a bad thing. If you are in a turbulent era in troubled times, in order to survive, everyone has to go into battle, and scholars have no choice but to hold swords. But now that the four seas are peaceful, the academy really has no reason to cling to the sword codex. ”

The sect master said: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace. ”

"Being prepared for danger in times of peace is for human civilization as a whole, but human beings, as social creatures, have a division of labor and cooperation, and the work of the academy is not to hold a sword. That is the work of the Wuxiang Sword Academy and the Seventh Family, if you don't take on the responsibilities that don't belong to you because you are prepared for danger in times of peace, it will only cause a great waste of the overall efficiency of the society. ”

Shang Miaoyu said, paused, looked around, and said, "With all due respect, if it weren't for the Qinglian Sword Codex, our Qinglian Academy wouldn't have lost the president and vice president at the same time overnight. This kind of case of the first and second leaders of the three courtyards falling at the same time has been extremely rare in the past few hundred years, even the Shen family, which has been fighting on the Chaos Battlefield for many years, or the Wuxiang Sword Academy, which is the most active in exploring the ruins of the Flood Desolation, has not suffered such losses. The reason for this is that Qinglian Academy is trying to covet force without its own strength. We are a academy, not a sword academy, and the monks of the academy are scholars, and scholars who dance swords will only hurt others and themselves. ”

After these words, the sect master sighed again.

"I'd rather you hadn't sobered up now."

Qinglian Shang Witty Words, in the name of Witty Sayings, is a first-class eloquent person in the world, before indulging in alcohol, on behalf of the academy to participate in various polemics on the continent of Xiangzhou, invincible.

A drunken business witty saying, although he often makes jokes that make people cry and laugh, but after all, it is not in the way of big things, and he often gives out benefits. But a sobering business phrase is really a headache.

Because she did have a point, the current Qinglian Academy is no longer the academy that overcame obstacles with the Seventh Family of the Holy Sect two thousand years ago, and the scholar's sword dance at that time was not only a sad song of the times that was helpless, but also a banner that inspired all mankind. But now, the scholar's sword dance has outweighed the loss.

"In fact, for nearly a hundred years, the academy has been respectful of the Qinglian Sword Classic, and we admit that the Honghuang inheritance has an irresistible temptation for every immortal cultivator who loves to study, but we are more aware of the truth that manpower is sometimes poor, and even if you are not good at it, even if you do it reluctantly, there will be no good results. And how many of the monks in the academy are good at kendo? The sect master should know that most of the monks who joined the academy were people who were not good at dancing knives and guns when they were teenagers, and they were ostracized by their families and had to sink further into the sea of books. The academy has 400 people, divided into 5 research groups, among which Sang Yue holds the sword code and has served as the dean for 20 years, but the number of people in the sword group barely exceeds 100. And more than half of them have part-time jobs in other study groups, so it is not an exaggeration to say that people are discouraged. As for the dispute with the Wuxiang Sword Academy, it is true that the academy has been humiliated for a hundred years, but we have already passed the era of fighting for a moment, and if we can't fight, we can't fight, and in the field of swordsmanship, it is indeed the Wuxiang Sword Academy that is more proficient. We keep our own college signboards, and we are still one of the three colleges that can keep pace with them. On the other hand, if we really win, wouldn't it be a good thing to let the Wuxiang Sword Academy change its name to the Wuxiang Academy? The relationship between our two academies deteriorated dramatically, starting from the first Qinglian Academy's victory in the sword academy's signboard, and the Wuxiang Sword Academy had no cards available. The other party was deeply ashamed, and regarded the academy as a great enemy in life, and since then it has opened the prelude to the centuries-old feud between the two academies, why bother? ”

After saying this, even the sect master began to hesitate.

It is indeed too reasonable, since a sword code will bring so much trouble, and it will make the people of the sword academy sincerely disgusted, then instead of forcibly restoring the sword code to them, it is better to give up this matter, or hand over the sword code to someone else to manage, such as the Wuxiang Sword Academy, which has the highest overall sword strength now, or the Qingyun Li family with the sword heart inheritance. Qinglian Academy is indeed more suitable as a pure research institute, away from Daoge.

As for Wang Jiu's matter, anyway, as long as he can restore the inheritance of the flood desolation with his own strength, his reputation will be out, whether it is in Qinglian Academy or not, it is not so important......

However, just when the sect master's will was shaken, he heard Wang Jiu say: "Otherwise, you have a serious misunderstanding of the way of the sword and yourself, and you will have a wrong conclusion." ”

Wang Jiu's words made Shang Miaoyu raise his eyebrows: "Listen to me." ”

"You think that the existence of the Sword Code has caused a series of tragedies that follow, but this is the thinking of putting the cart before the horse. It is precisely because of your insufficient study of the Sword Code and your lack of deep grasp that there will be the tragedy that follows. If the two deans who were killed could realize the Qinglian Chapter's death and reincarnation technique, or the body sword replacement technique, they would have been able to escape during the chaos dust riot in the Yanqi Cliff, but their understanding only stayed at the seventh layer, which happened to be one or two levels behind. ”

Wang Jiu said again: "I just read the information of Sang Yue and Sang Jing, if this information does not have the problem of exaggerated resumes that are common in human society, then with their qualifications and age, their comprehension of the Qinglian Sword Code should not be so rudimentary. Combined with what you just said, the fact that the Sword Team is distracted, I think it was the carelessness of the members of the research team that slowed down their research progress and led to their unfortunate deaths during the final expedition. ”

After these words, the atmosphere in the council hall changed again, Shang Wuming, Feng Xiaolu and other elders began to talk to each other, and Shang Miaoyu sneered: "It's all out of the blue, but it's all your family's words." Sang Yue and Sang Jing's kendo cultivation, on what basis do you assert it? Now that the Qinglian Sword Book has lost the Qinglian Chapter, how did you deduce that the eighth and ninth layers were reborn from death? What's more, blame the Sword Monk for causing them to die!? ”

Wang Jiu paused for a moment and said, "Because I have already finished making up the Qinglian Chapter." ”

As he spoke, Wang Jiu's sword spirit took off the white sword body at his waist and raised it to his chest, and a cyan lotus flower slowly appeared on the sword body, each petal was a small cyan sword with a unique shape.

The entire lotus flower is a semi-entity formed by the transformation of the pure true element into sword qi, and it is highly condensed, and if you look deep into the primordial spirit, it will be as if you are in a vast new world in an instant. Each cyan sword contains a mysterious supernatural power, and with the slow rotation of the petals, the supernatural powers merge and intertwine with each other, and can produce countless new changes.

None of the Qinglian people present would not know this lotus.

Although they have stayed away from it in the past few decades, and even avoided it, absolutely no one will mistake the Qinglian Chapter of the Qinglian Sword Codex.

And when he saw this lotus, the sect master was also taken aback: "When did you restore the Blue Lotus Chapter!?" ”

Wang Jiu said: "You and Zhao Shenlu are chatting outside the door, and I will restore the Qinglian Chapter when I am bored." ”
