Chapter 34: The Sound of the Sword
With the squeak of the years, among the seven wooden doors hanging the portraits of the Seven Saints in the back hall, the door with the portraits of the Sword Saints slowly opened, and there was only a deep darkness behind the door, and nothing could be seen.
Lin Lan thought about it, this scene was somewhat similar to the scene behind him pushing open the gate of the National Teacher in the Seven Holy Paths, and it seemed that this grass hall was probably also a formation.
Immediately, the eunuch slowly bowed towards the open wooden door, and said respectfully: "I respectfully invite the Sword Sect to show its saints, inherit the law, and preach to help the world!" โ
The Sword Sect is the Sword Saint, and the Sword Saint is the seal of the descendants.
Although the Sword Saint has passed away, but its mana is vast, since the establishment of the Human Sect, the mana left behind has not dissipated, and its legacy spirituality can also be passed on its behalf, in a way, it is the will of the Sword Saint himself, and the descendants of the Human Sect are naturally respectful.
Under the gaze of many eyes, behind the wooden door of the Sword Saint Grass Hall, a huge scroll suddenly flew out, unfolding in an uproar among the flying dances in the Question Heart Hall, floating in front of the door of the Sword Saint Thatched Cottage.
The huge scroll, which was three feet long and three feet wide, was unfolded in the air, and everyone looked intently, only to find that it was blank, and there was not a single ink on it.
"This is the Book of Swords among the eight wordless heavenly books."
Jian Cheng said: "Except for the Holy Master's Book of People, the remaining seven volumes are all hidden in the Seven Holy Grass Hall, and this sword book is the sword book that carries the sword path and supernatural powers of the Sword Saint. โ
Many Yuan Sheng couldn't help but look at the legendary "Wordless Sword Book", but they couldn't see anything.
Jian Cheng glanced at many Yuansheng with a light smile, shook his head and said:
"You have to be a person with a high enough talent in swordsmanship, and only by carefully reading this wordless sword book can you discover the sword intent ink treasure in the sword book.
"At the same time, the higher the talent, and if it is suitable for the Sword Saint Divine Communication, the more words can be read, and the more words you can read, the more sword intent you can feel.
"Then as long as you keep the sword intent in your heart, and then spray it out when the sword intent accumulates to the limit, the spirituality of the relic treasure in the Sword Saint Grass Hall will be perceived, even if the sword intent only makes the relict treasure emit a sword sound, it is enough to get the evaluation of 'Jiaxia', and you are qualified to learn the supernatural power of the Sword Saint, and the second sword sound is the evaluation of 'Jiazhong'.
Speaking of this, Jian Cheng paused before saying: "As for the three sword sounds, it is more likely to cause a sword saint relic to fly out and take the initiative to recognize the master, which is enough to get the evaluation of 'Jiashang', and it is expected to become the pinnacle of swordsmanship masters in the future." โ
Many Yuansheng listened to it with fascination, the legendary sword saint relic, who wouldn't want to get it if someone who learned the sword?
"As for the higher ......"
Jian Cheng shook his head slightly, and said: "There is no need to say it, only a peerless genius in real swordsmanship can be induced, this kind of genius is born with a sword heart, as long as he touches the sword, he can command it like an arm, just like a human sword is one, it is not difficult to distinguish." โ
Chen Yan couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Although he learned the sword extremely quickly, he ...... So far, there is no feeling that no one is in the same sword, and it is clear that he is not a peerless genius in swordsmanship.
However, if the supernatural powers with the Sword Master are particularly suitable, maybe there will be another turnaround?
And Lin Lan secretly thought that when he killed Yan Sanniang, he did use a sword, but he didn't have the feeling of a unified sword, and even had any significant talent in swordsmanship.
We can only see how much it helps the Heaven Thief method to say, 'It is very helpful to the cultivation of natal supernatural powers'.
"You two start reading, the sword intent ink treasure on this sword book, even if it is slow, it can be fully revealed in a moment at most, and it is meaningless no matter how long it is."
Jian Cheng glanced at the two of them, and immediately waved his sleeves, and two three-foot swords with hidden sheaths flew out of his sleeves and fell on the knees of the two of them, "When the sword intent is spurted, you two can use this sword to show your sword intent." โ
With that, he walked to the side and let the two of them read the sword book.
There was complete silence in the Hall of Inquiry.
Although it was only Lin Lan and Chen Yan who were tested, almost all of the Yuan Sheng were staring at the wordless sword book and reading it carefully.
What if he is a hidden kendo wizard who triggers the sound of the sword, and even triggers the sword saint relic?
It's just that almost everyone stared at it for a long time, and they still couldn't see anything, and the sword book was blank, and the so-called 'Sword Intent Ink Treasure' was completely missing.
Suddenlyโ
"Haha...... Hahaha...... It turns out that this is the Sword Intent Ink Treasure? โ
A low laugh with suppressed joy suddenly sounded in the hall of inquiry.
When everyone heard the sound, it was the laughter of Chen Yan, who was staring at the wordless sword book.
I saw Chen Yan stand up suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face, his eyes staring at the seemingly blank sword book without blinking, and the whole person exuded a trace of awe-inspiring sword intent.
Many Yuan Sheng immediately understood that this Chen Yan's swordsmanship talent was really high enough, and he had already seen the sword intent ink treasure on the wordless sword book.
Everyone could perceive itโthe sword intent exuded by Chen Yan was also gradually becoming more and more powerful, becoming more and more obvious, as if it was really about to turn into a sword.
If it triggers the sound of the sword, even if it is just a sword sound, it is at least the evaluation of the subordinates.
The Yuansheng couldn't help but secretly speculate, how many sword sounds could this Chen Yan provoke?
And in contrast-
The Yuansheng in the Hall of Inquiry subconsciously looked at Lin Lan again, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
From the initial assessment to the present, this Lin Lan doesn't seem to have changed at all, just sitting there quietly, clear and cold, the ancient well has no waves, and it doesn't seem to have the slightest speciality.
Even if he was looking at the sword book, Lin Lan didn't stand up like Chen Yan, he still sat there quietly, staring at the huge sword book with a flat face, and there was not the slightest fluctuation in his expression, let alone any sword intent.
Zhong Yuansheng immediately understood, it seems that this Mr. Lin, who has an amazing heart, has not been able to see the sword intent ink treasure yet.
However, this is also normal.
If you want to see the sword intent ink treasure in the sword book, you need to have a high enough sword skill talent, and among the eighty-two yuan students present, only Chen Yan's sword skill talent is high enough, and no one else can see the so-called sword intent ink treasure.
Time passed quietly.
Lin Lan's expression never changed in the slightest.
And the sword intent exuded from Chen Yan's body is becoming more and more powerful, looking sharp, and his whole person is becoming more and more like an unsheathed sword!
The contrast between the two was too obvious, and some Yuansheng had already begun to shake their heads slightly.
There is no way, no matter how strong the will is, in the pure field of swordsmanship, there is no help, this competition is a swordsmanship talent, and it is natural to make a judgment.
However, some careful Yuansheng noticed something special -
Lord Jian Cheng was also paying attention to Chen Yan, who was awe-inspiring with sword intent, but he was just ...... There was no joy or appreciation on the prisoner's face.
Instead...... Still frowning?
A moment of time is not long, but when looking at this precious wordless sword book, it is particularly short.
When it was almost a moment, many Yuan Sheng were suddenly surprised to find-
Chen Yan was still staring at the ink treasure, while Lin Lan, who was sitting there, had already closed his eyes at this time and no longer looked at the wordless sword book.
Could it be ...... Gave up?
Many Yuan Sheng sighed secretly, and they also admired Lin Lan's heart a little, such a precious wordless sword book, found that it was not suitable for themselves, and gave up when they said to give up, and they had no intention of nostalgia, which was indeed extraordinary.
However, after all, it was normal to be able to read the wordless heavenly books in the other Six Holy Grass Halls, and to be so calm after giving up.
Soon, the one-moment deadline was over.
"The time has come."
As soon as Jian Cheng waved his sleeves, the huge wordless sword book immediately rolled up again and flew directly back into the dark and deep darkness in the Sword Saint Grass Hall.
"If the sword intent is successful, please take out the sword!" The prisoner snorted.
Chen Yan found that the sword book was suddenly gone, he was stunned at first, and then suddenly woke up, only to realize that it was time.
His eyes suddenly turned cold, and he immediately grasped the hilt of the sword and drew the sword out of its sheath!
With a bang, the blade that had not yet opened was already unsheathed, and with Chen Yan slashing in the direction of the Sword Saint Grass Hall!
It was only the power of mortals, there was no sword qi or sword light, only a trace of sword intent erupted with this slash, and rushed straight towards the Sword Saint Grass Hall!
Sword intent rushed into the darkness.
And yetโ
It was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no sword sound in the grass hall.
Many Yuan Sheng were stunned, a little incredulous.
The accumulation of sword intent on Chen Yan's body was so fierce, without the Sword Saint Relic Treasure coming out, how could there not even be a sword sound?
"This ...... No way! โ
Chen Yan roared in disbelief and slashed out with a sword again, but the sword intent that had been stored in his heart for a long time had not made the Sword Saint Grass Hall respond to the sword roar, let alone this ordinary sword?
"How is this possible? I'm obviously a natural sword cultivator, how can I not even have a sword sound, how can I not even have an evaluation under the armor? โ
Chen Yan's face was pale, his lips trembled, staring at the darkness in the Sword Saint Grass Hall, and continued to slash frantically, slashing into the void, and one of his hearts gradually sank into the darkness.
"Enough!"
Jian Cheng waved his sleeves and frowned: "This can only show that although your swordsmanship talent is high, it is not in line with the sword path of the Sword Sect Master, and the Sword Saint Relic Treasure has no resonance with you, so naturally it will not echo the sword sound to you." โ
With a bang, the three-foot long sword in Chen Yan's hand fell to the ground, and he also sat on his seat a little weakly, looking at the Sword Saint Grass Hall in a daze.
Jian Cheng looked at Lin Lan again, his face softened, and he said: "Mr. Lin Lan, if you see the sword intent ink treasure, you can try the sword intent, if not, don't worry, I will open the next grass hall again." โ
"No need."
In the flat response, Lin Lan, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes slowly.
The prisoner looked at those eyes and was suddenly stunned.
What kind of eyes are they......
Sharp, cold, sword intent!
At this moment, the moment Lin Lan opened his eyes, he was already looking at the door of the deep and dim Sword Saint Grass Hall, and his gaze was like two sharp sword lights, instantly plunging into the dark depths.
So, he saw it.
Then, everyone in the Asking Heart Hall heard him whisper towards the darkness in the Sword Saint Grass Hall:
"Which of you wants to come out?"
The next moment-
"Zheng!"
The sound of heavy swords suddenly rang out, and countless swords rang out fiercely, scrambling like courtiers who had come to offer their courtesies.
