In the next few days, it was calm and there were no further waves.

Chu Qingxiao also had free time, in addition to condensing the spirit and dragon breath every day, the rest of the time began to comprehend the sword chapter that he also obtained in the library pavilion - "Loulan Listens to the Wind".

"Loulan Listening to the Wind" is an exercise to condense sword intent.

For sword cultivation, sword intent is naturally an extremely important thing.

Its importance, in a sense, even exceeds the amount of spiritual power and the strength of the martial soul.

The most typical example is Chu Zhaozhao's "Viewing Sword and Cultivating Intentions".

It is the method of completely abandoning spiritual power, or the method of completely transforming the learned spiritual power into sword intent, and even the martial soul condensed in the future will be closely related to sword intent.

This kind of exercise is extreme, and the sword goes sideways.

But once it is completed, the combat power cannot be underestimated, which also shows the importance of sword intent to sword cultivation.

Chu Qingxiao, who is already in the four realms, has always used sword weapons, so naturally the matter of condensing sword intent should also be put on the agenda.

Sword intent is different from spiritual power.

It cannot be absorbed from heaven and earth.

The sword intent was also different from the spiritual dragon breath condensed in Chu Qingxiao's body.

It's not that if you have the exercises, you can transform them with spiritual power according to the gourd painting scoop.

The condensation of sword intent is complex.

It is the fusion of intention and force.

The swordsman's perception of the sword, coupled with the fusion of the spiritual power in the body, can be transformed into sword intent.

And the perception of kendo also determines the strength of sword intent to a large extent.

Even if there is the same sword intent method, it is possible for different monks to cultivate two kinds of sword intent with a huge difference because of the difference in understanding the way of the sword.

"Loulan Listens to the Wind", compared to the "Spirit Demon Dragon Breath Gong" from the Demon Gate, there is not much mystery.

He came from the hand of a swordsman many years ago.

The swordsman came from Loulan, a defunct feudal kingdom in the Western Regions.

Loulan was once the richest place in the Western Regions, it is rumored that in the heyday, the streets of the royal capital of Loulan were paved with gold, and the doors of ordinary people's homes were inlaid with jade, and there were countless priceless night pearls at night, which illuminated the entire royal capital as if it were day.

Such a place of abundance will naturally attract the covetousness of the bad guys.

Because of this, Loulan often suffered from military rebellions, but fortunately, the king of Loulan was merciful, and the people in the city loved them, and they worked together to defeat those wicked people who coveted treasures again and again.

But the perennial war still made Loulan miserable.

So the king of Loulan selected seven young people with the best talent from the country and sent them to the Central Plains, which was still the Great Zhou Dynasty at the time, to practice martial arts, hoping that after these children returned from their studies, they could keep Loulan peaceful.

The swordsman who comprehended "Loulan Listens to the Wind" is one of these seven children.

When they arrived in the Central Plains, two of them died on the road, and then the five of them shared the gold, silver and jewelry given by the king of Loulan when they left, and each embarked on the road of study, and agreed that after fifteen years, whether they succeeded or not, they all gathered here and returned to Loulan together.

The swordsman who comprehended "Loulan Listens to the Wind" worshiped under a sword cultivator.

He was an orphan whose parents died of a serious illness at an early age, and he relied on the help of the kind people in Loulan City.

So he practiced very hard, and fifteen years later, the original boy was already over thirty years old.

His cultivation also reached the Seven Realms, and through the wealth on his body, he bought many cultivation methods and prepared to bring them back to Loulan together.

It's just that when he came to the apex of the agreement with his companions in high spirits, he didn't see the arrival of his companions.

He thought they were delayed, so he waited here for three months, but did not wait for any of his companions to arrive.

Disappointed, he prepared to return to Loulan alone.

On the way home, it was another way to eat and sleep.

But the hometown is close at hand, and the man does not feel hard.

A month later, when he walked through the yellow sand to Loulan, he saw a ruined wall after a fire.

He looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, he rushed into the ruins of Loulan, trying to find even one living Loulan person, but the Loulan burned by the fire was only covered with bones all over the ground.

Later, he learned that Loulan had been ransacked by a gang of robbers.

After several rounds, he found the gathering place of the group of enemies.

It's ridiculous to say that the bandits who razed the entire Loulan City to the ground are only a hundred or so people, and the one who has cultivated to the highest level is only in the fifth realm, and in front of the men in the seven realms, it is not worth mentioning.

He only suffered some flesh wounds, and then he killed all the bandits of a hundred or so people.

But revenge did not bring him any pleasure, he carried the head of the bandit leader back to the ruins of Loulan, but there was no joy in his heart, only empty.

He sat there in despair, until an old man passed by.

He recognized him, he was the old man of Loulan.

According to the old man, when Loulan City was broken, he hid in the cellar of the house, and only then did he escape the fire in Loulan City.

Afraid that the gangsters would go and return, he fled outside the city and stayed in the wild for a month before daring to come back, and then he met the man.

And the time when those gangsters attacked Loulan City was just a month ago......

A month ago.

The old man's words made the man stay where he was.

Those bandits are not very high in cultivation, and they are not men's opponents at all.

If he didn't wait for his companions in the territory of Da Zhou, and didn't go to Panhuan for three months, he would have been able to return to Loulan before the bandits attacked Loulan, and he could have prevented all this tragedy from happening.

At that moment, the man was discouraged.

After separating from the old man, he packed his luggage and returned to Da Zhou.

He wanted to find his four companions, and he wanted to ask them why they had failed!

There are so many people that it's not easy to find them.

But the man has made up his mind, and he regards this matter as the most important and only thing he needs to do for the rest of his life.

He searched for eight years and finally had a clue.

One of the four had died three years earlier, and he could not know from the man's mouth why he had missed his deadline, but when he saw the man's widow and children, he probably had an answer.

After all, he couldn't bear to dig his grave in front of the man's wife and children, he just cut off a corner of the man's tombstone.

When the man found him, he was so depressed that he begged on the street, and the man did not kill him, but just cut off a strand of his hair, not that he couldn't bear it, but let him live like this, and being bullied every day was the best punishment.

There is another person who is now rich, relying on the wealth of the king of Loulan, his business is very large, there are groups of wives and concubines, and he is naturally happy, this time, the man killed him.

The last person did honestly worship a sect and practiced hard.

When the man found him, he was already over forty years old, and he was sitting in the position of the sect master, and he was a highly respected and premier Jianghu master in the surrounding states and counties.

He has entered the Eight Realms, and there are countless peaches and plums under his door.

The man asked him why he missed the deadline, and the other party only said that he is now in a high position, although he is in the rivers and lakes, but with his spiritual cultivation, the land of a state is almost used by him, just Loulan, a bitter cold place, why give up everything he has worked hard for that place.

The man had already prepared for such an answer, so he drew his sword and fought it.

Over the years, he has been running around, exhausted, and his cultivation has stopped at the Seven Realms, far from being an opponent who has entered the Eighth Realm.

He was defeated.

With a serious injury, he fled back to Loulan.

He placed the corner of the tombstone, the short hair of the beggar, and the head of the rich merchant on the ruins of Loulan that he had been searching for for eight years.

Then I sat there for three months.

Three months later, he set off again to return to Da Zhou and found the last man.

The other party also knew that he would come back again, so he invited three friends from the same realm, and ordered hundreds of sect disciples to set up a large array to invite you into the urn.

The first time the two clashed, one-on-one, the other party had eight realms, and the man had seven realms, and he was defeated.

And the second confrontation, four against one, there is also a hundred sword formations, the opponent's strongest combat power is four eight realms, and the rest of the hundred are mostly elite disciples of the four or five realms, and the men are still seven realms.

But this time.

He beheaded eighty and forced the three Four Realms Grandmasters, one to retreat, one to be seriously injured, and one to cut off both feet.

At last, he came to his companion, and in the wail of the other party's knees, he abolished his cultivation.

He didn't kill him.

Again, it's not because I don't want to.

But after this battle, he had already run out of oil, and he couldn't return to Loulan with his head.

Then you can only let the other party live better than dead.

At the end of his life, he dragged his dying body to Tianhang Mountain.

He heard that this was the head of the world's swordsmanship.

He put the swordsmanship he felt into the hands of the peak master of Kamigawa Peak at that time.

He hoped that this sword technique would be passed on.

It's not because he cares about his legacy.

It's just because this is his hometown, the last vestiges of the existence of the Western Regions domain.

He named it "Loulan Listens to the Wind".

The first half of the exercises of "Loulan Listening to the Wind" is such a story, and the handwriting on it is completely different from the handwriting of the exercises in the second half, which is obviously written by the peak master of Kamigawa Peak after hearing the story of the man.

Just like a man's last wish, he wanted the world to remember that there was a place in the far Western Regions.

And future generations, since they want to learn his exercises, should write down this story for him.

It's a fair trade.

Chu Qingxiao silently recalled what he had read in the library pavilion, and also let himself come back to his senses from that tragic story.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to turn the second half of the page—a rubbings he had written down after he walked out of the library for fear that he would forget the contents of the book.

He opened the page and looked at the first paragraph of the exercise.

Swordsman Thirteen, in the hometown of Loulan, sat on the yellow sand, listened to the wind of the desert, March, and realized this method.

It is called "Loulan Listens to the Wind".

Swordsman, soldier also.

Soldiers, fierce also.

The one who wields the sword resists the enemy with his weapon, as if he enters the killing game with his body......
