Chapter 52: The Secret of the Fairy Sword (1)
Unconsciously, under the leadership of Lei Jiang, the three of them traveled all the way east, passing through several large cities and more than a dozen small cities, and finally leaped over the border of Qingxutian and arrived at the territory of Yuezhou, where the Immortal Sword Sect was located.
Fortunately, except for Lei Jiang, who took care of a few monks who were not long-sighted at the border, from the time they left Qiyuan City to the time they arrived at the border, they were all the way and did not waste too much time.
Between high-level monks, a small realm gap is likely to have earth-shaking changes, let alone compared to low-level monks.
And looking at the entire cultivation realm, the Imperial Wind Realm is already a middle- and upper-level combat force in all sects and factions, and they often hold important positions. Not to mention rare, but rare.
So after knowing these common senses, Qingyun felt that his luck was quite good to be able to hug such a thigh.
Similarly, the people of Jingci Tianmen practice Buddhism, so most of them are kind-hearted, and their disciples are also well-known in the righteous path, so the Jingcitian identity jade plate brought by Yao Mengxun also helped the three of them greatly.
After entering the area under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Sword Sect, just like in Liangzhou, the monks guarding the city only glanced at the jade plaque, and then relaxed them a lot, and in less than a month, they had already arrived at Yaoguang City, one of the seven core cities where the Immortal Sword Sect was located.
Because Yao Mengxun was also stepping on the mountain gate of the Immortal Sword Sect for the first time, Lei Jiang, as a guide, introduced as he walked:
"The Immortal Sword Sect is a sect that uses swords to establish a sect, and both of its inner and lower levels are involved in the way of swords. It is rumored that when those who cultivate to the depths ascend, they can destroy the thunder with the sword and achieve the supreme sword immortal. And the sword belongs to Gengjin, so the killing atmosphere in the door is fierce, and it is known that the sword is in the people, and the sword is dead. Compared with Qingxu, Jingci, Shenhua and the two major demon gates, the Immortal Sword Sect was established later. But it is said that the founding patriarch of the sect was a disciple of Shenhuatian, so the two families have been very close, so the foundation is also very strong, and the Yaoguang City we are about to enter is one of its mountain gates. ”
Lei Jiang glanced at Qingyun meaningfully and continued:
"The Immortal Sword Sect used the power of the Big Dipper to cast seven holy swords: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang, and then condensed the seven cities into an array with supreme secret methods, and the seven swords were used as the pillars of the city, forming a natural Immortal Martial Seven Star Array, which was unbreakable. However, these are already the stories of ancient times, and the power to do so much, cultivation will not stop at returning to the spirit, but according to historical records, there are no true immortals after ancient times, and so on I and other descendants have no way to verify. ”
At this time, Lei Jiang's eyes stared at the giant city Yaoguang not far away, and exclaimed:
"In fact, the other giant of the Demon Dao, the Absolute Immortal Gate, seems to have hit the mountain gate of the Immortal Sword Sect. It is rumored that at that time, with its absolute strength and lightning speed, the Absolute Immortal Sect defeated the entire city directly under the Immortal Sword Sect like an anthill. It's a pity that the Immortal Sword Sect later made a decision to abandon all the cities and retreat to the Immortal Martial Seven Star Array, until the Absolute Immortal Gate was killed under the Tianshu City, and the supreme treasure in the sacrifice door could not be broken. After a long time, in the end, the rescue troops of the four factions waited for three days for the Immortal Sword Sect, and the vitality of the Absolute Immortal Gate was greatly damaged, and it ended with the withdrawal of troops back to Yunzhou, but it's a pity. ”
Qingyun listened with relish, but Yao Mengxun shook his head and said:
"Hey, I don't know how many innocent lives will be killed or injured in such a big battle, whether it's the Demon Gate or the Immortal Gate, since they are seeking the same path of immortality, why bother killing each other like this?"
Lei Jiang looked at Yao Mengxun with a compassionate face, and was also helpless, after all, she couldn't say anything more about herself practicing Buddhism, and then changed the topic and said:
"The Fairy Sword Sect has exchanged for a moment of humiliation for today's prosperity, only they know which is right and which is wrong, and this is only the record in our internal classics, whether it is true or false is impossible to verify, but I have to admire the current prosperity of the Fairy Sword Sect. ”
Lei Jiang still seemed to be a little dissatisfied with being blackmailed by the Qingxu Heaven Cultivator in Qiyuan City, and with a wave of his hand, he said sarcastically:
"You can also see along the way that Qingxutian is known as the No. 1 Sect of the Righteous Path, but what kind of virtue are those monks stationed there? Look at how many refugees we have encountered along the way who fled from Liangzhou to Yuezhou? Qingxutian, which should have been barren in the south and prosperous in the north, in the end, some cities are not as good as the corners of Qianzhong City, and they are starving all over the wilderness!"
Hearing Lei Jiang say this, Qingyun nodded thoughtfully.
Relatively speaking, he still knows the situation in the southern part of Liangzhou, or the Qianzhongcheng area, and he has seen many refugees fleeing the famine on the way from Liangqian Village to Qianzhongcheng.
At this time, I only listened to Lei Jiangdao:
"Although I heard that Yi Chen, the current sect leader of the Immortal Sword Sect, is indecisive, judging from the relative prosperity in Yuezhou, he might as well be a generation of holy masters. ”
Suddenly, the appearance of the word Yichen in Lei Jiang's mouth was like a bolt of lightning, which instantly struck Qingyun's nerves, and even his body seemed to be a little disobedient, he couldn't help but pretend to be calm and asked:
"Uncle Lei, what is the name of the head of the Immortal Sword Sect?"
Lei Jiang did not doubt him, and said by the way:
"It's called Yichen, what's wrong?"
Qingyun couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart, his master was actually the head of the Immortal Sword Sect!
If this is the case, even if he can't kill the enemy with his own hands in the future, he can use the power of his uncle to find out the real culprit and avenge his father and everyone in Liangqian Village!
I saw him biting his lip lightly, and said with some trembling:
"It's nothing Uncle Lei, I'm thinking that when I get to the Immortal Sword Sect in the future, I can't know what the name of the head is, right? If Uncle Lei knows, please tell me about him again!"
Although Lei Jiang was suspicious when he heard this, after getting along for a long time, he still regarded Qingyun as his own, so he sorted out the information a little and said:
"As far as I know, Yi Chen has only been the head of the Immortal Sword Sect in the past hundred years, and he is also the new Returning Spirit Realm senior in the cultivation realm for hundreds of years. At the time of his debut, because of his cold swordsmanship, he never became turbid, and his descendants gave him the nickname "Dustless Sword". Although I have not seen his face with my own eyes, I have heard that he is a long man and a handsome man, and he and his brother often slay demons in the world and perform chivalrous deeds. It's a pity that his younger brother later broke into a catastrophe and betrayed the right path, and Yi Chen had to take on the responsibility of being in charge for him. Later, together with the Shenhua Heavenly Sect Master "Hidden World Sword" Wu Renfu, he was called the "Earthly Double Sword", but after taking over as the head, few people saw him walking in the world. ”
Although Lei Jiang didn't see Qingyun's abnormality, it didn't mean that no one could see it, Yao Mengxun stared at Qingyun, but he didn't say anything about the different colors in his eyes. After listening to Lei Jiang's brief explanation, Qingyun hurriedly asked:
"Uncle Lei, what's the name of the brother of the head of Yichen?"
"It's called Yi Qing, the two of them were previously collectively called the "Qingchen Twin Swords", and they are also famous masters in the cultivation realm, good at joining forces against enemies, and it is said that they even killed the demon spirits of the Guiling Realm together when they were in the Wind Realm. After his disappearance, the "Twin Swords of Dust" was replaced by the "Twin Swords of the World". ”
Hearing this, Qingyun couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, it turned out that his father was actually the younger brother of the head of the Fairy Sword Sect, not just the uncle in his father's mouth!
What made him even more excited was that he still had relatives in the world! And it was the first time he heard about his father from others, although it was not a glorious rumor, but he didn't care, even if his father was a demon who killed people without blinking, it was also his father, so Qingyun continued to ask:
"Then Uncle Lei, why did Yi Qing's predecessors betray the right path, and why did they disappear?"
Lei Jiang's thick eyebrows were twisted into a figure-of-eight, and at this time, he also saw that Qingyun was a little abnormal. Secretly this kid has always given people the feeling of pretending to be old, how did he become so active today.
At this time, Yao Mengxun smiled intriguingly at Qingyun, and then lightly opened his lips and said:
"Yes, Uncle Lei, I also want to know why Senior Yi Qing betrayed the right path, you can talk to us, and take it as a long insight. ”
After Yao Mengxun's interruption, Lei Jiang's suspicion receded slightly, and he only heard him speak:
"It's Yaoguang City in front, let's go to the city to find an inn to stay, it's still early, I'll talk to you in detail when it's time for lunch." ”
Hearing Lei Jiang say this, Qingyun had no choice but to grit his teeth and move forward with his fists clenched and his head bowed.
Yaoguang City, as the name suggests, takes the meaning of Yaoguang at the end of the Big Dipper, and the overall style of the city gives people a sense of slaughter.
In Qingyun's opinion, the city walls of Yaoguang City made of bluestones looked slightly gloomy and cold, and the rumored Yaoguang Sword suppressed the fortune of a city, so even if it was already summer, it still made people feel a chill down their backs.
However, after entering the city, he found that there was a huge difference between inside the city and outside the city walls, and even Yao Mengxun couldn't help but sigh:
"I didn't expect the city to be so bustling, it's really incompatible with the slaughter outside the city!"
Lei Jiang also exclaimed:
"Among the Big Dipper, the Yaoguang Lord is peaceful, coupled with the careful management of the Immortal Sword Sect, so the prosperity of Yaoguang City is understandable, and you can pay attention to it, there are almost no mortals in this Yaoguang City. Thinking about it, every city in the Immortal Martial Seven Star Array should be like this, and if the Immortal Sword Sect is given a thousand years, it is not impossible that they may break the current situation of the righteous path covering the top in three days. ”
"Uncle Lei, why are there no mortals in the city?"
Because he is a mortal, Qingyun has to ask more, so as not to cause any trouble, Lei Jiang smiled when he heard this, patted him on the shoulder, signaled Qingyun not to worry, and said:
"Actually, Uncle Lei, I also said something. It's not that there are no mortals, but they are extremely rare, and some are just servants and other characters. In addition, we monks are also human beings, and in the same way, before becoming immortals, this world belonged to people, and when recruiting disciples, we also selected those with extraordinary talents or excellent spiritual roots from among mortals. Only when the sect is strong enough to a certain extent, will it not deliberately select disciples from among mortals, and will also accept people from the vassal sects who bring art masters. This also reflects the extraordinary bearing of the Great Sect, but I don't know how many spirit stones it takes to maintain this kind of city that is entirely a monk. ”
