"What is the most important thing about a swordsman?"

This was the first thing Negative Jianbei asked her as a teacher.

Taixi thought seriously for a long time: "I'm not afraid of death." ”

"Nope. The most important thing for a swordsman is to have a sword. ”

Sounds like a joke.

But there was only seriousness on Jianbei's indifferent face.

"There are many things in this world that can kill people."

Negative Jianbei said slowly: "Within ten steps, the Black Rose is fatal with one blow, and beyond ten steps, it is difficult to have an opponent under the Rose Artillery." In terms of killing effect alone, these two weapons are superior to regular swords. ”

"In the fight between life and death, the space for a swordsman to exert himself is narrow, and if he does not have a sword in his hand, it is difficult to kill the enemy quickly even if he finds a flaw."

Taixi whispered: "Teacher, didn't you break into the main force of the Ben cavalry army with one person and one sword, and also killed the enemy apostle Falbert?" ”

"It's just luck."

The teacher said without any emotion: "If it weren't for the Cloud Sword, I would have died, if Falbert hadn't been so arrogant, I would have died, and if I hadn't been rescued by the Datney of the Bency Clan, I wouldn't have lived." ”

"It was a reckless and impulsive choice, and it wasn't worth emulating."

Negative Jianbei commented on his classic deeds that have been widely praised.

"The sword represents the direction and is the tool for the swordsman to survive."

The sword-bearer shifted his gaze to look at the young student: "In my early years, I fought with the Huayun Monk outside the Sand City, and in addition to comprehending the Huayun Sword, I also inherited the fragmentary experience and memories of the ancient cultivators from the Huayun Monks. The vast majority of them are the bitterness of failure and the confusion of the world and the future. ”

"Many people see the Cloud Monk as a monster in the Cloud Temple, but in fact, they are not monsters, they are a ship that has lost its direction, a mirror of battle, and fighting with them allows me to look directly at my true self."

Two years later.

"You've learned the Cloud Sword, I don't have anything to teach you."

Negative Sword North said to the young apprentice: "Go, go find your own sword." ”

……

Taixi felt stunned and confused in her heart.

Since she was a child, she has dreamed of becoming a swordsman like Negative Kenbei.

With the help of the fish spirit, she learned the [Rock Resisting Technique], and when she grew up, she left the island with the permission and help of the King of Light to follow the footsteps of the Negative Sword North.

That's five years.

She fought to the death with the cloud monk in the desert of Yunzhong Temple, talked with the cacti in the back box at night, and drank the water in the lake.

She had traveled to the Blood Mound covered in the Sea of Blood, where she practiced martial arts with the War Cats and learned roses and local jokes from the Bloods.

She has also traveled to the outer worlds, the Ghost Realm and the Bamboo Reed Country.

In the kingdom of the gods, which is ruled by the two gods, Taixi and the ghosts raise slugs together, wrestle with ghouls, and exchange what they see and hear with the mortuary.

She befriended the smart and dexterous Tsumi people, wrestling and jumping long jumps with the bamboo people...... She even paid a visit to Master Shiohisa of Pillar Mountain, as well as his disciple, Martial Monk Nonglei.

The challenge ended in a fiasco.

In the face of Yanjiu, Taixi was even more unable to touch the other party, and the characteristics of the sand walker were brought into full play by this martial arts master.

……

Constantly probing and pursuing, she finally found the negative sword north where she stopped at the headquarters of the Yao world.

At that time, the legendary swordsman actually worked in Yancheng as a guard of the old museum.

He cut off the braids of the swordbearers, wore ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and no longer even carried a wooden sword, as ordinary as a real pure passerby, patrolling the museum.

Taixi couldn't understand why such a swordsmanship master would be so down.

"It's a very quiet place."

Negative Jianbei said: "It is very suitable for cultivation. ”

"A swordsman must be able to draw his sword and collect it."

After apprenticing, Taixi knew that Negative Jianbei was not joking. He's never a joker.

The first half of the life of the negative sword north was sharp, either in battle or on the way to battle, he was a sheathed sword, and he saw enemies.

Now he returned his sword to the sheath, and his edge was scattered. Even when the professor was too young, he used a branch.

Even a single branch can turn a cloud into a sword.

Negative Jianbei told her: "The Cloud Transformation Sword is my sword, you need to find your own sword." ”

After being asked by the teacher to leave the school, Taixi left Yancheng.

She began to travel in the Yao world.

It wasn't until a year later that Qianyuan Mountain opened.

It is a treasure given to this world by Lord Yaoshen, it is an incomparable mythological wonder, a miracle condensed by the power of the gods, and the source and true body of legends and myths.

Taixi looked up at the sacred mountain that was high in the sky, and she heard a voice in her ear.

The voice said, if you want to enter Qianyuan Mountain, then come up step by step, come to the foot of the mountain, and you will have the qualifications to talk to me.

Taixi began to climb the mountain with a wooden sword on his back.

She put away the [Rock Technique], relied on her own feet, stepped over the rugged and narrow mountain pass, grabbed the steep and straight cliffs with her hands, and climbed the first mountain first.

Then she climbed along the summit to the bordering floating islands and headed for a higher place.

When she was hungry, she searched for wild fruits and caught wild birds in the mountains, and when she was thirsty, she drank water from streams and dew, made baskets and walking sticks out of bamboo and wood, and kneaded rattan into strong ropes...... Everything she's learned in the past has come in handy.

She draws her sword only when she encounters large beasts or otherworldly monsters along the way.

Most of the time, Taixi is like a poor and optimistic hiker, relying on the wisdom left by his predecessors to live and continue to climb high places.

It took nearly three years before and after, and she finally came to the foot of Qianyuan Mountain.

The voice that had not been heard for a long time came from the clouds like cotton balls in the sky.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

A white figure with a lake of faces perched high in the sky, exuding a sense of oppression unique to the apostles.

Taixi said frankly, "Lord Apostle, I hope to forge a sword here and hone my swordsmanship. ”

"Yes."

The apostle agreed.

Taixi breathed a sigh of relief.

That's how she lives on this suspended mountain.

When looking up underground, Qianyuan Mountain is not too big, but when you really stand on the mountain, Taixi feels that this mountain is amazingly big.

It is like a rising land, with ancient roads in disrepair, most of which are either covered and broken by weeds, or have fallen stone slabs, lost railings, or collapsed landslides.

It's been a long time since no one has taken care of Mount Kinabalu.

Taixi was given the task of carrying stones from the surrounding floating islands and polishing them one by one, repairing the various mountain paths and steps.

Obviously, the Apostle had seen through his Rock Technique. This ability can be applied to the movement and modification of stones, the maintenance and construction of mountain roads.

As for the apostle who saw the dragon in the clouds, Taixi also knew very little.

She heard from other fellow disciples who were also practicing here that the apostle's name was Master Ji, and he was also a substitute under the command of God Yao, and he was the mountain lord of this mythical land.

Later, everyone called him the Lord of Jishan.

Every day, Taixi stepped on stones, piled piles of stones into a giant stone ball, and then stepped on the stone ball all the way back to the mountain gate of Jinguang Cave.

When she returned, she transformed these stones into stone slabs, stone balls, stone railings, and stone stairs according to their body shape and material...... And store them in different categories.

She then used the stones to repair the missing or damaged areas, so that the sacred mountain could be restored to its original appearance.

It was only at night that she had time to hone her swordsmanship.

In the valley of the back mountain, there are often fellow fighters, and that place used to be used to test various magic weapons, but now it has also become a ring and a martial arts arena.

Taixi has always lost more than he won in the competition with his peers.

Those who can enter Qianyuan Mountain to practice are either strong-willed, or have strong physical bodies or abilities, and there are no completely mediocre people.

After repeated defeats, Taixi gradually realized what the teacher said about Jianbei.

"The Cloud Transformation Sword is not your sword, you need to find your own sword."

The Cloud Transformation Sword of the Negative Sword North is unpredictable, coming and going without a trace, just like the fingers he hides in his sleeve.

Taixi's Cloud Transformation Sword is a board and a glance, but it only condenses the cloud and mist elements into a sword shape, which is used to stab and slash, and there is no cloud-like fluttering and agility at all.

She needs a sword of her own.

Taixi spends all his time outside of labor in the dismantling pool.

The Bitan-like dismantling pool can disassemble various props, but it consumes the power of the entire sacred mountain, so the mountain owner has always strictly forbidden throwing props into it.

However, Taixi found that if it was not a prop, it was just a product of some kind of ability condensation, but it would not consume the power of the sacred mountain.

For example, the Cloud Sword, or the Stone Sword.

After obtaining permission from the Mountain Lord, she began to perform the [Rock Resistance] and threw stone swords into the pool.

When the stone sword enters the water, it will visibly separate into earth elements and crushed rock cracks, which will eventually turn into dust and silt at the bottom of the pool.

It was only in the short time of decomposition that Taixi could see an amazing scene: the condensed earth element turned into countless fragments, peeling off from each other with the broken rock, like a huge and dense spider web, and the silk threads slowly pulled out, and the delicate and complex structure inside it was revealed in the water.

Taixi watched the stone sword enter the water over and over again, being stripped of the earth elements and detritus.

At the same time, she also began to try, recreating the internal structure of the earth elemental she saw, and condensing a more powerful stone sword.

It's difficult.

Taixi can easily twist rocks to make stone swords with [Rock Resistance], but she has to weave the structure from the basic level of the earth element, but the complexity and difficulty of it makes her difficult and extremely difficult.

It's like building a complete house out of wooden cubes, and the mistake of any one area will cause the whole world to collapse and collapse.

In order to further confirm, Taixi also used the [Cloud Sword] at the same time, condensing the cloud and mist elements into a sword, sinking into the dismantling pool, and contrasting with the stone sword.

Unlike the settled earth element, the cloud element is light and easy to disperse. When they are detached from the Cloud Transformation Sword, they turn into tiny bubbles that slowly rise above the water surface and merge into the air.

This made a thought pop into Taixi's mind.

Can the heavy earth element be intertwined with the light cloud element to create a sword that will neither sink nor float upward?

It will rise like a cloud with the wind, and it will be like earth in all things.

How nice that would be.

Great Lord Yaoshen, please bless me so that I can forge this sword as soon as possible!

Taixi was both excited and looking forward to it.

With continuous attempts and failures, the combination of the earth element and the cloud element has begun to bear fruit, and the sword that has never been seen before is taking shape in his hands little by little......

However, at this critical juncture, a major event suddenly happened.

A giant beast of mysterious origin attacked Qianyuan Mountain.

It was covered in black hair, its eyes glittered, and it roared wildly at the moon. As soon as the black-haired monster appeared, he smashed a stone tower of the Treasure Refining Pavilion that everyone had managed to repair with great difficulty.

Under the moonlit night, Qianyuanshan's fellow disciples couldn't help but scold and shot one after another.

I don't know if the mountain lord went out or what's going on, and I didn't hear his voice.

Seeing this situation, Taixi also raised his sword to participate in the battle!
