Chapter 13, the way to heaven asks the heart, and the killing sword path punishes all evils
The wind is biting, and the sky is full of frost and snow.
Maybe Chu Lishang would tremble because of the chill in his bones at first, but once the time passed, he became numb. Her curly eyelashes were covered in frost, and her long black hair was covered in snow and ice. Chu Li stood firmly in the wind and snow, holding the sword in his right hand, and did not move.
Not far away, Gu Chenyuan dispersed the wind and snow on his head, and looked at the small figure standing in the frost and snow with interest, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"It's very stubborn......"
Looking at the gradually brightening sky, Gu Chenyuan raised his hand slightly, drew a few sword runes in midair, and then pointed a little, and those sword runes turned into Dao Dao Ling people's sword qi and came out towards Chu Li.
The silence for a long time except for the wind and snow made Chu Li's five senses very sensitive, and almost the moment the sword qi hit, Chu Li's sword was raised, and he stepped up with his toes, shaking off a body of frost and snow between the whirling dances of his body, and fighting with the sword qi in one place.
Standing for a long time made Chu Li's limbs a little stiff, and he didn't notice for a moment that his forearm was cut open by the whistling sword qi. Fortunately, the disciple's uniform comes with a certain protective function, otherwise the forearm is afraid that it will not be protected. Chu Li knew very well who this sword qi came from, so he didn't have any fear in his heart. Moreover, the power of the Fu Ling Sword doubled after recognizing the master, even if the current Chu Li could not exert the full strength of this sword, he could still fight with the sword qi released by Gu Chenyuan casually.
After all, Gu Chenyuan will not kill himself, at most he will suffer some grinding.
The East is enlightened, and the sword breaks through the early sun.
Gu Chenyuan waved his hand to disperse the sword qi, and walked in front of Chu Li: "Isn't it cold?" ”
Chu Li opened his bloodless lips and replied, "It's not cold." ”
"Huh." Gu Chenyuan did not expose her, but took her to the sky and headed towards the mountain gate, "It stands to reason that when a new disciple enters, he has to go through the way to the heavens and deduct the door of conscience, you have been delayed for a long time, and now it is time to go." ”
Tongtian road test qualification, ask the heart door can be the state of mind.
Tianze Sect has always set the age of death between five and fifteen years old when recruiting disciples, because most children at this age have undecided hearts, even if they have a little evil thoughts in their hearts, they can get it back. As for cultivation, there are no specific requirements.
Some disciples come from small families that are attached to the sect, so most of them have opened their pulses before coming to the sect to apprentice, and they have even entered qi refining; And more often, the sect sent disciples to recruit from the human world, they may have heard of the existence of immortal cultivators in this world, but due to the limited geographical location, they have almost never practiced cultivation, let alone cultivated themselves.
Therefore, the path to heaven is never based on cultivation to choose new disciples, but from a person's luck, spiritual roots and many other aspects. It's just that the luck is slim when it is said, and it is the true monarch of the Yuanying, and it is rarely investigated. Therefore, the spiritual root has become the most direct means of screening disciples. But this move does not mean that the Five Spirit Root Monks will not be able to enter, and what saves them is the luck that has been surveyed by the Heavenly Path.
As for the door of inquiry, it's even simpler.
Those who ask their hearts and minds, and think of evil, will never pass this level.
For these two levels, Chu Li is fearless.
Standing at the starting point of the road to heaven, there is a long staircase in front of him that is endless and far into the sky, and Chu Li is just standing on the first step.
The wind and snow around her body dissipated, and the whole road seemed to appear between heaven and earth out of thin air, Chu Li guessed that this should be some kind of space formation, but this knowledge was beyond her comprehension for the time being.
First-order, second-order ......
Until more than a hundred steps, Chu Li didn't have any special feeling at all.
It's as if between the vast heaven and earth, she is the only one left, and the endless steps under her feet. The practice of monks is the word "self", and this lonely environment undoubtedly implies this.
In this life, there may be many relatives and friends, but life in the world is a distant guest, even if there are friends for a while, but in the end, this road can only be walked on its own. Life is lonely.
Maybe you don't find out until the end that your former friends have long since died, or you have different paths and are gone. Even if you cultivate to the sky, you can only watch the clouds on the edge of the sky alone, the flowers of the world bloom and fall, and you are alone, standing alone in this vast world.
"So, the meaning of cultivation is loneliness?"
Chu Li's eyes were a little dazed, even so, she still resolutely stepped to the next step.
With Chu Li's progress, the ink-colored stone door above his head opened a little more.
In the next step, the cold stone steps suddenly became slippery, and warm blood flowed down the long steps from top to bottom to Chu Li's feet, wetting the soles of her shoes.
The sky was dark, and there seemed to be a demon roaring beside him, Chu Li turned a deaf ear, and walked up the stairs with blood all over the ground.
What about blood all over the ground? Even if there are thorns in front of her, she will also overcome them and ride the wind.
Just like there are thousands of monks in this world, which monk in a high position has not climbed step by step on the bones of others, and whose hands have never been stained with blood? Regardless of immortals and demons, only about the heart.
Chu Li didn't know how long she had been walking, but even so, she hadn't looked a step backwards.
"Chu Li, you are not afraid of loneliness on the path of cultivation, nor are you afraid of the road ahead being full of blood, but can you let go of the obsession in your heart?"
"Obsession?" Chu Li's blank eyes instantly cleared, "What is obsession?" They have planted cause and effect on my path, and I will naturally end it myself. ”
"Really?" The sound is vast, as if coming from the sky.
Chu Li looked at the sky, but he couldn't see anything except the endless floating clouds.
"Yes. The demons deserve to die, not to mention that they have hurt my loved ones. Therefore, in this life, I will slay demons, destroy demons, and defend the way. ”
"Huh...... I hope you will remain steadfast in the future. The voice chuckled a few times, and after leaving this sentence, it completely disappeared from Chu Li's consciousness.
The ink-colored stone door above his head completely opened, and an evil cultivator covered with black qi appeared in front of Chu Li.
"Yo, little doll, we'll meet again." Chu Li, the black magic sword floating on the chest of the evil cultivator, recognized it as the one that his grandfather stopped on the spirit boat that day, so the identity of this person was about to be revealed.
"I let you go before, but I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."
Chu Li held the Fu Ling Sword in his hand expressionlessly: "Just a heart demon, if I can drive you away the first time, I can kill you the second time." ”
"Really?"
With a soft shout from the evil cultivator, the magic sword stabbed towards Chu Li at a rapid pace, just like that day on the spirit boat. It's a pity that this evil cultivator is just a phantom heart demon, and Chu Li is not Tianming.
What she wants to do is not to block, but to kill.
The sword qi swept through the air, shocking the four fields. The black magic sword turned into black smoke and disappeared in an instant before it could resist it, and even the evil cultivator who was originally very rampant disappeared.
"Hahaha...... We'll see you again ......."
"Goodbye, I can cut it with a sword." Chu Li withdrew his long sword, and in front of him was a frank path to the sky.
This time, Chu Li's side no longer had the demonic and evil difficulties that hindered her progress, and what greeted her was a trace of enlightenment and a golden mang.
Outside the space, a trace of waves finally appeared on Gu Chenyuan's calm face.
"Luck...... And, Killing Kendo. ”
