Chapter 51: The Remnant is King
There is a mist outside the stele forest of the Five Elements Sword Alliance, and there is a formation inside, even if they are disciples of the Sword Alliance, most of them have never seen their true faces.
Xun Qiu memorized all the eighteen hand knife tricks, and he was also shocked in his heart. Rao is based on his current knowledge and memory, but he has just been able to copy these obscure mantra words in his mind.
Eighteen hand sword techniques, just like eighteen kinds of martial arts, the content is extremely complicated, Xun Qiu in his heart after going through it is even more admired the strength of the predecessors who created this set of sword techniques, that person must have studied countless sword techniques on the mainland, and then after years of hard work, in order to create such a martial arts.
Gradually, Xun Qiu devoted himself to the cultivation of this sword technique, and everything that happened outside was left behind by him.
Zhou Qianluo looked at Xun Qiu, who was sitting in front of the broken stele, she looked at the forest of steles that seemed to be endless, and then retracted her gaze and fell on Xun Qiu, silent.
Since entering the Forest of Steles, her expression has been extremely vigilant, and it was not until she confirmed that there was no bad aura around her that she sat down cross-legged, and she was not too intimate or alienated at a distance of five feet from Xun Qiu.
Although not everyone would notice the Beilin, and Zhou Qianluo didn't know how many people had noticed the situation here, she was sure that that person must be watching everything that happened on this side.
Perhaps in the eyes of many disciples of the Five Elements Sword Alliance, there is an unknown ambiguity between her and Xun Qiu, which has become an after-dinner conversation between them, but this is not important, because Zhou Qianluo is most concerned about the high-level views on them.
Although Mu Yanzi is the deputy leader of the Sword Alliance, Zhou Qianluo clearly knows that in this Immortal Mansion, the Alliance Leader is the only family member, if what happened on the Five Elements Cloud Platform before happened in other Immortal Mansions, it may have shown that this force is destined to be the enemy of Xun, but the alliance leader's style of acting is different from others.
This person thinks a lot, and if it sounds good, it is far-sighted, and if it is not good, it is forward-looking, and in the eyes of this person, there will be no permanent friends, but only eternal use value.
Zhou Qianluo needs the high-level to give her an answer, and it is inconvenient for her to ask this question directly, so this way is a good choice at the moment, she brought Xun Qiu to the stele forest, and helped him open the stone tablet to learn the peerless sword technique, which is obviously contrary to the regulations of the Sword Alliance, and whether the alliance leader is a teacher to ask guilt, that is, his attitude towards this matter.
It was a bit risky for her to bring Xun Qiu to the Stele Forest, but it was her decision after careful consideration, and it may be a bit out of line for her to force the alliance leader to make a decision, but it can reduce a lot of trouble for the future. In the current turbulent situation, the sooner we can distinguish between friend and foe, the wiser it would be.
Now it seems that the attitude of the alliance leader is not bad.
Nothing happens, it's the best thing.
After making sure that there was nothing abnormal around him, Zhou Qianluo calmed down and began to devote himself to the cultivation of the No Rejection Sword Technique.
The cultivation of the No Rejection Sword Technique was not an overnight thing, she had not relaxed since she first came into contact with this set of sword techniques five years ago, and now she had mastered the use of the previous twelve swords.
Occasionally, a mountain wind blew in the stele forest, and a little spot of light fluttered in the mist, falling on the two people in front of the stele.
The two people in front of the monument did not move, like sculptures.
Huo Fang stood on the railing of the top floor of the Five Elements Palace, looking at the endless stele forest in the distance, in the eyes of others, it was just a sea of clouds, mountains and qi, but his eyes could penetrate the fog and take in everything in it.
A young man wearing a black shirt and holding a sword on his chest stood beside Huo Fang, the young man looked at the stele forest in front of him coldly and arrogantly, with a look of displeasure on his face, and said: "Why can't I go to the stele forest to realize the Tao?
Over the years, he has obeyed the orders of the people around him, has been hiding his cultivation, mixed among the juniors of the Sword Alliance, not showing the mountains and waters, and cultivating quietly alone, even in the eyes of those teachers, he is a young man who has a mediocre cultivation and is unknown all day long, but to really do this, it is a kind of tempering for the state of mind, in other words, it is also a great torture.
"Because you're not as good as her. Huo Fang said unceremoniously.
"Well, it's just a little. ”
"It's a fraction of a thousand miles. ”
"Then why can he go in, he is not from our Sword Alliance, isn't this a broken rule!" the black-shirted young man turned around and asked.
"He's different, he's a variable, he's a person who can make people not think about the rules. Huo Fang turned to look at the young man in front of him, and said with a serious expression: "If you really understand these, you will really become powerful." ”
"I don't understand your set of tricks, and I'm not interested in understanding them. The black-shirted young man snorted unconvinced.
"So Zhou Qianluo can become the symbol of the Sword Alliance, but you can't. ”
"That's because of her bloodline advantage, so her cultivation is slightly better than mine, and this so-called is estimated to be ignored soon. ”
Huo Fang shook his head, "Not only is her cultivation higher than you, but she also knows how to make trade-offs." I've always wanted to get her married to you, but now it seems unlikely. ”
"It's not her who I like, you should know it. ”
"So I never forced you. ”
"But I still don't understand how much difference your attitude towards an outsider can be. The black-shirted young man had witnessed a battle on the Five Elements Cloud Terrace before, and naturally understood that even if Mu Yanzi came forward, the idea behind this must have been taken by the person in front of him, but now he saw Zhou Qianluo taking Xun Qiu to the stele forest, and unraveling the stele to learn the knife technique, but he did not show the slightest opposition, which was really incomprehensible to him.
Huo Fang looked at Zhou Qianluo, who was cultivating side by side with Xun Qiu in front of the stele, and didn't speak for a while, and only said softly for a while: "I just said that Zhou Qianluo knows how to make trade-offs better than you The reason is here, she naturally understands that I will know that she entered the stele forest with Xun Qiu, so she is probing my attitude by doing so." ”
"Could it be that you don't agree, she may still leave the Five Elements Sword Alliance?"
"It's not possible, it's certain. The Sword Alliance can provide her with not many conditions now, as a strong person with a half-immortal cultivation, if she wants to leave, even if our Sword Alliance can stop her, it must be quite painstaking, she took Xun Qiu to the stele forest, and unlocked the stone tablet for him, after finding out my attitude, she also successfully expressed her attitude. ”
The black-clothed young man sneered and said, "It's really interesting that the alliance leader still has to look at the face of a junior." ”
Huo Fang shook his head and said, "I just don't want to repeat the tragedy of the Doushi Association and the Six Dao Alliance, at that time, when the Yellow Robe Helian and the Dou Shi would tear their faces, and when the Medicine King and the Six Dao Alliance parted ways, the cultivation of the two of them was far inferior to the two in front of them, and it had a big impact. ”
"So instead of standing opposite two half-immortal juniors with infinite potential, I should woo one and get to know the other. ”
The black-shirted young man frowned and said, "Getting acquainted with another one, isn't that a little simple?"
"Not fighting each other, it's the minimum level of acquaintance, and I believe I can still do this. ”
"But I still don't think a man you nearly killed will believe you. ”
"As a superior, survival and development must be taken into account, I promised Xiao Wuji the condition before, it was because it was for development, and now my connivance with Zhou Qianluo is for survival. ”
The black-shirted young man sneered disapprovingly, and said, "You are always too forward-looking, but you don't know that everything in the world is perfect, it's really pedantic!"
Huo Fang's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, he looked at the unconvinced young man, and then put away his anger, and said a little helplessly: "I am the leader of the alliance and a father, and you are a disciple and a son, no matter which position you start from, you are not qualified to criticize me now!"
The black-shirted young man's tone had softened a lot, but he still hummed unconvinced: "If it were Xiao Wuji or Qin Zhong, they would definitely not do this." ”
"That's what sets me apart from them. Huo Fang's words were very plain, so plain that there was an unquestionable and incomparably firm strength in it.
Among these people, his cultivation was the weakest one, but he never felt frustrated because of this, because he understood that he did not have the strength to absolutely override everything, and as long as there was no this, then who could survive to the end, or better to the end, was not just based on personal strength.
Maybe in the eyes of some people, and even in the eyes of his own son, he is a person who is too forward-looking, lacking the strategy of a superior to make a quick decision, but he still thinks that it is because of this that he has come to this day.
Huo Fang remembered that when he was young, it was also an era of bright stars and capable people, although he was excellent in that era, he could not be called the top, and at that time, some of the people who were famous in the world had soared for three days, some were still famous in the world, and some had fallen and gradually disappeared in everyone's memory.
This may also be the so-called leftover is king, if you really can't always be in the position of making the tide, then try to keep yourself in the tide of upheaval.
Just like him now, the leader of the Five Elements Sword Alliance, this kind of rest is indeed very good.
Therefore, there is no eternal enemy, and there is no eternal friend, and even if this friend is so unfamiliar that he cannot be equated with an enemy. Because he first has to do whatever it takes to ensure that he can be left without fail, and then to ensure that he can develop by any means.
Those who focus entirely on the latter often slip away from the former.
