Volume 1 The Scholar and the Sword Chapter 64 Preparation Before Parting
As the sword intent on Qin Zi's body slowly dissipated, Lu Shui also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even he couldn't help but be a little nervous just now, and a little sweat oozed from his forehead.
However, of course, he could also sense that that the sword was not enough to kill him.
But the key to the matter has never been whether this sword can kill him, and more importantly, what kind of character the owner of this sword is.
You know, this sword was not cut by that person himself, but borrowed from the hand of a young man who had cultivated to a low level after countless years, so what would happen if that person came in person?
Lu Shui was a little unimaginable, the only thing he was certain of was that he would never be able to catch a sword.
With a deep breath of turbidity, he decided to skip the topic.
He didn't know if Qin Zi really knew who left this sword here, but it didn't matter now.
At this moment, the two sides are in a completely unequal situation, the other party's identity, cultivation, and even whether he is still alive, he knows nothing, and more importantly, the other party has the ability to easily destroy him.
In this extremely disadvantageous situation, it is obviously the wisest thing not to do superfluous things, but to follow the other party's wishes first.
So, he decided to change the subject.
"So, what are you going to do next?"
That's what he's most concerned about right now.
After the previous events, he had already understood that Qin Zi's heart was firm enough that he could not be at the mercy of others, and there was no point in continuing to stay on the mountain to lead him to goodness.
Fortunately, although he is a little extreme, it is not too bad overall, and there is no need for Lu Shui to continue to do anything to him.
"Even if I wanted to stay here, you wouldn't agree."
Yes, even if he knows that Qin Ziren is not bad, but if such a person stays in the sect, God knows what he will do in the future.
You have mastered the sense of proportion now, but in the future, what if something really happens and he binds the entire sect out to save the common people?
For the sake of the development of the sect, it is impossible for such a person to stay in the sect.
Even if you change to someone else, this kind of harm to the interests of the sect and help others, don't be proportionate with me, it doesn't matter too seriously, just cut him with a sword.
That is, Lu Shui, in essence, recognized his idea of protecting mortals, so he spared his life, but it was impossible to keep him on the mountain.
"Since you know it yourself, it's best, tell me, what else do you need?"
He didn't ask this to compensate Qin Zi, after all, he drove people away by himself, so he wouldn't really think that he would have to give some compensation if he drove people away.
Lu Shui's words, the hidden meaning, are aimed at the sword left by the mysterious man.
No matter who the other party is, this kind of thing that is not in the hands of the sect has seriously endangered the safety of the sect, and it is impossible for Lu Shui to continue to keep it, he needs Qin Zi to solve it.
Qin Zi also had this intention, since only he could resonate with that sword, there must be someone who put it here specifically for him, and it was impossible for such a character to think that Qin Zi would only use it in the sect, so he must have left something else.
Qin Zi closed his eyes, turned the axis of memory, and his thoughts gradually returned to the sunset of that day.
Seeing the scene in his memory again, he suddenly thought of a person he had been ignoring all along—the founding patriarch of the Falling Sword Sect, the young Taoist on the portrait.
He had long ago learned from the elders in the sect that the era of the founding patriarch was in turmoil, and he himself also had hidden diseases, and after the establishment of the Falling Sword Sect, he had risen in less than a hundred years.
This matter can be confirmed by everyone, the one who publicly set up a feather feast before the feathering, and went away after saying goodbye to his friends.
And because he has always felt that those people behind the scenes, no matter what their position, are at least sure that even if they die, they should have a backhand, so he thinks that the founder of the mountain can laugh at life and death, and he should not be such a person.
Because of this, Qin Zi has not spent much thought on him all along.
But today, he suddenly thought of something, a rumor that he had heard a long time ago.
That was the story he told in an introduction to the sect when he first started.
"The founding patriarch of the Luojian Sect, who fought all his life, was the leader of the sword in his life, and later traveled to the Luojian Mountain, watched the sunset, put down the sword in his hand, and since then the sword has gone to the next level."
At that time, I watched the sunset by myself, and I felt a lot, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but now that I look at it, there are many doubts.
A sword immortal with that kind of cultivation would feel something just by watching the sunset once?
Although the sun rises and sets, it contains the principles of nature, and it is normal for the founder of the mountain to have a sense of this throughout his life.
At that time, it was believed that he put down the sword in his hand, which represented the change of his heart, from who fought with him at the beginning, to no fight with the world later.
This can also be verified from his later feather feast.
However, there is a suspicion in this, that is, although the Falling Sword Sect is indeed indisputable, the teachings of the sect have never mentioned this, and it is all an atmosphere cultivated by later generations.
He carefully recalled the teachings of the Falling Sword Sect and finally found the problem.
All buildings are not allowed to be built on the top of the mountain, and the technique of flying is not allowed to be too high, and there are fewer people to compete outside......
In the final analysis, these are all derived from the true teachings of the Falling Sword Sect - reverence!
The moment he thought of this, he suddenly figured it out.
I used to think according to what I thought was the right logic, completely ignoring other possibilities.
After the patriarch of the mountain watched the sunset, the way of the sword rose sharply, why did it feather less than a hundred years later?
You must know that even Shen Shuo's pseudo-transformation god stage cultivation can easily live to thousands of years, and for those who cultivate, a hundred years is only a fraction of the lifespan.
The founding ancestor of the Falling Sword Sect was feathered in less than a hundred years, which shows that the statement that his sword path has risen is likely to be wrong.
Of course, this point of view is not absolute, after all, Qin Zi has no way of knowing whether the sword path surge is about cultivation, or if it is really just the way of the sword.
But is it possible that there is another scenario.
The founding patriarch of the Falling Sword Sect really saw the sunset and really put down the sword in his hand, but it was not because he "felt the sunset", but on that day, he saw the Heaven and Earth Sword that Qin Zi had also seen before.
Perhaps it was because he witnessed a sword that was difficult to achieve in his life that he was disappointed in his kendo, so he fell from the sword.
As for the surging kendo that outsiders say?
Nonsense, who saw a sword of that level that wouldn't go up sharply?
According to this logic, many things can be explained more clearly.
For example, as a sword immortal, why would he give up his love sword, for many sword cultivators, this is simply unreasonable!
Qin Zi himself is more inclined to this second conjecture.
And if the right one is really the second one, he knows what he's going to do.
"I'm going to Qingyunding!"
