Chapter 61: Seeing the injustice, the road draws a sword to help
Half believe it, because according to legend, after cultivating the "Heaven and Man Sympathetic Sword Divine Technique" to the fullest, this person actually killed the enemy who had defeated him back then, a cultivator in the middle stage of refining the void. And the man who was slain was indeed a person, and it was not a fabrication.
Suspicious, because in the second half of the legend, after killing the enemy, this person suddenly caused a large-scale catastrophe, and after the catastrophe, he disappeared into the Ten Directions Realm and never appeared again. And the whereabouts of the "Heaven and Man Sympathetic Sword Technique" have not been known since then, and I have not heard of any heirs in the next two thousand years.
At this moment, hearing the name of this sword technique from the mouths of the two Iron Sword Sects, Qu Wuming was very surprised, and after paying attention, it didn't take long for him to get more information from the conversation between the two.
It has been a year since the news of the appearance of the "Heaven and Man Sympathetic Sword Technique" came out, but because this sword technique is just a martial artist's internal strength and mental method plus supporting sword skills for ordinary cultivators, it is naturally difficult to attract the attention of the cultivation sect.
But for a sword-based cultivation sect like the Iron Sword Sect, this exercise has a different meaning - if it is really as rumored, then it is very likely that that person was an ordinary martial artist at the beginning, and finally entered the Dao with a sword and caused a heavenly tribulation!
As for whether it finally passed the Heavenly Tribulation and ascended to the upper realm, or whether it didn't carry the Heavenly Tribulation and turned into ashes, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that if a technique that allows ordinary martial artists who cannot cultivate to rely on their internal strength and enter the Dao with a sword, if it is in the hands of a cultivator of the Iron Sword Sect, wouldn't it be easier to explore what secrets it has?
The two Iron Sword Sect people at the next table were sent by the sect to track down the "Heaven and Man Sympathetic Divine Sword Technique", and listening to the meaning of their words, it seems that there are many people from the Iron Sword Sect this time.
As far as they knew, just the news about this sword technique had already been fought over among ordinary martial artists for a long time, triggering several scuffles and interceptions.
And this Dongsheng City is the place where the latest rumors will appear in the latest rumors, "Heaven and Man Sympathetic Sword Duel" will appear......

Unlike Qu Wuming, Lin Wanqing didn't know anything about the communication between the two behind him.
Faced with a large table of food and Qu Wuming, whom she admired and admired, Lin Wanqing put down the girl's reserve, and chatted with Qu Wuming while feasting, and ate very happily.
After he was full of wine and food, Qu Wuming had another huge food box in his hand, which was not the leftover cold rice, but the exact same delicacy of the new order.
When he walked downstairs with Lin Wanqing one after the other, Qu Wuming habitually used the power of his divine sense to carefully probe downstairs, and was surprised to find that in an inconspicuous corner, there seemed to be a cultivator who was drinking alone, but unlike ordinary cultivators, who mostly packed things in storage rings, this person actually carried a long sword behind his back, and was dressed like an ordinary Jianghu warrior.
"It seems that this Dongsheng City, where the aura is thin, is afraid that there will be a dragon fight." Qu Wuming sighed secretly.
However, although he knew that "Heaven and Man Sympathetic Sword Technique" might have its wonders, Qu Wuming didn't want to participate in the competition - it wasn't that if he heard that there was a treasure, he would have to get it, and Qu Wuming was not so greedy.
Besides, his mana is limited now, and the external injuries on his body have only just healed. What can be used is nothing more than the power of divine consciousness and some low-level talismans that do not need mana support, and they are naturally not afraid of ordinary martial artists, but if they are cultivators with higher cultivation, they are inevitably still a little dangerous.
Qu Wuming accompanied Lin Wanqing to the inn where the dart game was sharp, and as soon as he turned the corner of the street, he heard a woman's cry and several men's laughter coming from an alley not far away.
Qu Wuming and Lin Wanqing glanced at each other, and seeing that there seemed to be a pleading in Lin Wanqing's eyes, Qu Wuming thought for a moment and nodded.
After the group of bandits was dealt with in the rocky gang, Qu Wuming found an opportunity to point out the shortcomings of Lin Wanqing when he was left alone to deal with the bandits, and even Lin Wanqing's flaws in the battle with the two masters of Tian Da and the opportunities that he failed to find in time were also pointed out one by one, which made Lin Wanqing even more impressed with Qu Wuming.
Since then, Lin Wanqing has become very well-behaved and obedient in front of Qu Wuming, and many things must be done with Qu Wuming's consent first.
In Lin Wanqing's opinion, Qu Wuming, who claims to have walked the rivers and lakes for many years, is a grandmaster-level figure with experience and excellent martial arts, and he is lucky to be able to follow him, but Qu Wuming has no shelf, and he is willing to give guidance to whatever he asks, so it is natural to ask for more advice - maybe under Qu Wuming's guidance, he can step into the realm of grandmaster earlier.
At this time, seeing Qu Wuming nodding, Lin Wanqing was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the alley.
When she ran to the mouth of the alley, Lin Wanqing was blocked by a man in a black shirt.
Lin Wanqing looked sideways into the depths of the alley, and caught a glimpse of the situation inside-
It's a dead end. In the depths of the alley, there were two warriors with long knives at their waists, a beautiful woman in disheveled clothes with tears on her face, and an old man who fell to the ground with a bloody face.
"Stop!" Seeing this, Lin Wanqing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and scolded angrily, "In broad daylight, you actually dare to tease a woman from a good family on the street?!" β
"Little lady, Yunsheng Mansion collects debts, don't be nosy!" The black-shirted man at the entrance of the alley raised his hand and raised a palm-sized token, glared at Lin Wanqing with a fierce look, and said viciously.
"Yunsheng Mansion?" Although Lin Wanqing didn't have much opportunity to come out and walk the rivers and lakes before, after all, she was in the dart game and had already heard of some sects and forces in the rivers and lakes.
This Yunsheng Mansion is a huge Jianghu force entrenched in Dongsheng City - behind the pawnshops and gambling houses in Dongsheng City and more than ten surrounding big cities, there is the shadow of this Yunsheng Mansion, especially in Dongsheng City, I heard that more than eighty percent of the usury is in the hands of Yunsheng Mansion.
"If you collect debts, you can collect debts well, why do you hurt the old man and molest weak women?" Lin Wanqing's momentum was not weak at all, and she scolded angrily.
The man blocking the road looked Lin Wanqing up and down, and said, "Heh, you are a little girl, it's okay to practice more female red at home, and run out less to meddle in things!" Brother, I am kind enough to say a few more words to you - the family owes Yunsheng Mansion a large amount of silver, so naturally they can only pay it for it. But obviously even signed the deed of sale, and when the matter came, he wanted to regret and escape. This matter, even if it is reported to the city lord's mansion, they will not take care of it, do you understand what is going on? β
At this time, the woman in the alley heard the man's words, and suddenly stopped crying and retorted loudly: "My father just borrowed two taels of silver to my mother for medical treatment, but I didn't expect you to bully my father for being illiterate and tricking him into pressing his fingerprints on the tight money, but it will take ten days to find us twenty taels!" If you can't pay it off, then I'll pay the debt! I was going to the City Lord's Mansion to sue you, if you think you are justified, why did you hurt my father and block us here?! β
"You've got a face!" Seeing this, a man next to the woman raised his hand and slapped the woman in a circle.
"Stop! Don't hit anyone! Seeing this, Lin Wanqing pushed away the person who was in the way, and rushed to the woman's side in a few steps to protect her.
Lin Wanqing glared at the man who had just beaten people, and wanted to kick him away, but considering that Yunzhong Mansion was the largest local snake, even if he sent a few of them away for a while, the father and daughter might still fall into their hands, and they might encounter even more vicious revenge at that time, so she forcibly suppressed her anger and said coldly: "How much silver do they owe?" I paid them back! Give me the IOU and the deed of sale! β
"Yo! I didn't see it, but she was still a rich little lady. The man who beat the man took out two slips from his arms and shook them, "Originally, when the day came, it was twenty taels with interest!" However, on the day of the sale, the agreed ransom price was already thirty taels! Since the little lady is willing to come out of this, thirty taels, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. β
"Brother Qu, can you lend me some silver first...... Lin Wanqing only had some scattered silver taels and copper coins in his hand, how could he have thirty taels of silver, and when he heard this, he had to ask Qu Wuming, who was already guarding the alley, for help.
Qu Wuming handed over the large bag in his hand to his left hand, pretending to take out the silver from his arms, but in fact, he took out an ingot-shaped silver ingot from the storage ring, pinched it lightly in front of the man at the entrance of the alley, and forcibly pinched the silver ingot off one-fifth of its size, and then threw more than half of the silver ingot, which was almost forty taels, to the black-shirted man next to him.
Originally, the man in the black shirt still wanted to embarrass Qu Wuming's two people, but he could see that Qu Wuming's bare hands were as easy as kneading dough, and he immediately knew that the other party's skills were not simple, how could he dare to say more, hurriedly took a few steps back, turned around and came to the alley, and muttered a few words to the man who had just beaten people.
The beating man's face couldn't help but change greatly after hearing this, and suddenly changed to a smiling face, and respectfully handed over the woman's deed of sale and IOU to Lin Wanqing: "This girl, since the debt has been paid off, then we won't bother, please collect the IOU and deed of sale." Farewell, farewell! β
After handing the things to Lin Wanqing, the three of them didn't dare to linger at all, turned around and trotted out of the alley.
After saving the father and daughter, Lin Wanqing gave the remaining silver taels to the woman, asking her to give the old father medicine and see a doctor, and then turned around and left in the gratitude of the two.
On the way back to the inn, Qu Wuming saw that Lin Wanqing seemed to have been a little sullen, and couldn't help asking, "I just did a good deed, why are you still so unhappy?" β
"I wonder why some people are bullied or face an unfair fate when they are trying so hard to live well? Why do some people rely on power to do evil and bad things, but they can live a very nourishing life? Lin Wanqing lowered her head and said as she walked.
"I really can't answer these two questions. Perhaps, this is the reality of life. β
"Brother Qu, do you say that there is really a heavenly reincarnation in this world?" Lin Wanqing raised her head and looked at Qu Wuming, with a hint of hope in her eyes, "If you don't have a good time in this life, you will be compensated in the next life?" β
"Yes...... Qu Wuming nodded, "At least in our world." β
"Our world?" Lin Wanqing opened her small mouth and was stunned, "Is there another world?" β
"Well, yes. You should know that there are cultivators in our Ten Directions Realm, right? β
"Uh-huh, I've heard that."
"The cultivators of our world have cultivated to the peak of the refining period, and they will have the opportunity to fly to another world." Qu Wuming said, "So, I think that since there is ascension, there will also be heavenly reincarnationβit's just that we don't know what the world will be like after death." After all, no one has really come back from the dead, and even if there is a reincarnation, no one remembers the events of the previous life. β
Lin Wanqing pursed her lips when she heard this, "In this way, even if there is little hope, it is still possible to be compensated in the next life, right?" β
"Maybe. But even if there is really an afterlife, it is already another person, and whether there is compensation or not has nothing to do with the previous life. Qu Wuming said, "I said that you are young, why do you keep thinking about this?" β
"Just curious."
"The past life cannot be traced, the next life is unpredictable, just live in the present!" Qu Wuming said with a slight smile when he heard this.
"Brother Qu is right, the past life cannot be traced, the future life is unpredictable, live the present ......" Lin Wanqing nodded, repeated silently, and fell into silence again.
