"In Tiangang Academy, everyone knows that the old man is a sword cultivator, but few people know the exercises that the old man practiced. Master Jiang asked slowly, "The old man's exercises are ruthless, have you ever heard of it?"

Seeing Liang Cheng shaking his head, Master Jiang continued: "This ruthless trick is not trivial, it is powerful, and the speed of advancement is extremely fast, that was when the old man was still a disciple of Tiangang Academy, he made great contributions to the Great Xuan Country, and the academy as a reward allowed me to go to the seventh layer of the academy to select a technique, and I got it by chance." ”

"Hide the seventh layer!" Liang Cheng was surprised, it was a forbidden land-like existence, not to mention the seventh layer, even the sixth layer was rarely entered, and Liang Cheng didn't expect that Master Jiang was also a disciple of Tiangang Academy.

Master Jiang continued: "The old man's ability to have the cultivation and status of the master of the inner courtyard of Tiangang Yuan has a lot to do with the ruthless trick of cultivation, this exercise makes the old man's strength soar day by day, and he is advancing wildly. The disciples of Tiangang Academy, who was at the same time as the old man, in addition to the old man ranking first in terms of strength, the second place was Bai Yuanqing, the head of the Tiangang Outer Court, but in the final analysis, he was just a monk of Jiedan, and it was difficult to match the old man's back. ”

Liang Cheng didn't expect that Bai Yuanqing and Master Jiang would be disciples of Tiangang Academy in the same period, so it seems that Master Jiang is indeed extraordinary, because the two best people in this period are really far from each other in terms of strength and status.

But there is also a great drawback to the cultivation of this ruthless formula, the so-called ruthlessness, that is, to abandon all human feelings, specifically there are three major difficulties, the first is to abandon the gratitude to parents, and then abandon the love of husband and wife, and finally throw away the love for children, which can achieve positive results. How easy it is to say this, alas......" Guru Jiang said this, and sighed, his eyes glazed over, as if he was looking back on the difficulties he had encountered at that time.

"The old man is an orphan, and he can't understand the nurturing feelings of his parents at all, and the first level of this ruthless trick is not a problem for me, so there was no resistance to cultivating the ruthless trick at that time, and I successfully cultivated all the way to the Jiedan, and then successfully served as a teacher in the Tiangang Outer Courtyard, which was very beautiful. But it's not easy to get to the second level, although the last thing to do is ruthless, but in the early stage, you must be affectionate, indulgent, and even abusive. So when the old man was young, he was really indulgent, showing mercy everywhere, often entangled with the nuns, and experienced a lot of romances, each of which was very affectionate and unforgettable, but unfortunately in the end it was to give up. Master Jiang also had a wry smile on his face when he said this, and shook his head: "That was really a ridiculous time, if you had been born more than a hundred years earlier, you would have heard all kinds of mixed reviews of the amorous swordsman Jiang Hong circulating everywhere in the academy. ”

Liang Cheng was silent, thinking that this ruthless trick was really evil, and if he wanted to cultivate like this, he would hurt how many innocent people who loved him when the exercise was completed, this kind of exercise was really very disadvantageous.

In the end, the end of every relationship is that the old man ruthlessly abandoned the person he loved, and finally passed the second level of this ruthless trick and achieved the cultivation of Yuanying. So the old man began to face the ruthless trick

Three offs. Master Jiang said.

"The third level, the love of children, is it ......" Liang Cheng suddenly realized something.

"yes, looks like you've got it in mind. Master Jiang said, "The old man and the last double monk gave birth to a child, and that is my Peng'er. After abandoning Peng'er's mother, I raised Peng'er by myself, and I took good care of him and cared for him since he was a child, but as long as he wanted it, the old man had to be satisfied, so he developed his arrogant and arrogant character. The rumor that I, Jiang Hong, doted on my son, is not known to the whole world, but who knows, in the end, Peng'er is just a tool for the old man to cultivate ruthlessness. ”

Speaking of this, Master Jiang stood up, slowly walked to the window, stared into the distance and said: "The day when you cross the third level of the ruthless trick is the time when the old man achieves distraction, in fact, the old man has already reached the conditions for rushing through the level, and the reason why he didn't dare to take that step is really because he can't bear it, because at that time, the old man must kill his beloved son with his own hands, so that he can completely cut off the family relationship and achieve the great success of the exercises." ”

Liang Cheng was stunned when he heard this, this ruthless trick was too cruel, and he didn't know who created it and would use such a method.

"The old man has been hesitant in his heart, and he has been dragging it, and his love for his son is also as deep as a day, so he is reluctant to do anything to his son, but my son was killed by someone else. Master Jiang said: "Killing my son also cut off the old man's way of progress, the old man couldn't help but be angry, and immediately destroyed the Tiger Roaring family, in fact, as long as you think about it, you will feel that this matter is quite strange, but at that time the old man did not want to think deeply about the extermination of the Tiger Roaring Ridge, because his son died, the road to progress was also broken, and the blow to the old man was too great." ”

"When the old man was disheartened, he encountered an unexpected joy, that is, the old man saw you during the vicious fight with Guo Lang, you look very similar to my Peng'er, in this case, the old man was thinking at the time, why not treat you as Peng'er to continue to pamper?" Master Jiang looked at Liang Cheng with a smile, but Liang Cheng felt a chill in his heart.

"Later, when the old man was packing up Peng'er's relics, he saw the divine sword, but the strange thing is that this sword is stained with your breath. Later, I found out that you have a deep grudge with Tiger Roaring Mountain, and you and Peng'er are similar in appearance, so it is not difficult to think that Tiger Roaring Ridge set up an ambush outside the academy, and the original target should be you, so it is very likely that you deliberately blamed Peng'er, and then borrowed the old man's hand to get rid of Tiger Roaring Mountain, this kind of strategy to kill two birds with one stone is indeed very smart, but you forgot, with your swordsmanship, how could you be injured in Peng'er's hands? He was also absorbed so much essence blood by the Divine Sword, which the old man saw when he taught you swordsmanship, so he could be sure that Peng'er had fallen into your trap. In this case, the old man will treat you as a peng'er, and finally kill you to achieve ruthlessness, that is the best choice. Master Jiang said.

"Then during the investigation, the old man found out that Zuoqiu Suqing was also related to this matter, and my son walked out of the academy that day to find her, and this matter was also very suspicious, so the old man accepted Qing'er as a disciple and investigated nearby, which was more convenient. But in the end it turns out that she's just being used by you, in fact she

It doesn't have much to do with it. ”

When Liang Cheng heard this, he felt a little chill in his heart, he never expected that Master Jiang, who seemed to be confused, would have so much consideration in his heart when he did these things, and he couldn't help but think that Yuanying Monk was an old and refined person, where could there be a person who was simple-minded, he actually thought too little.

But what is the purpose of Master Jiang spreading things out with himself today? Does he still have the ability to retaliate? But then again, wouldn't it be better to take revenge on himself and do it quietly, so why bother saying this? Isn't this in vain to make himself vigilant?

"The old man didn't intend to take revenge on you when he talked about things today. As if seeing Liang Cheng's doubts, Master Jiang began to talk about the reason: "Besides, now the old man just wants to take revenge on you, and he has no ability, the old man just wants to tell you that recognizing you as a son, and all the kindness he did to you before, in fact, is not good, and it is also to achieve the old man's ruthless tricks, so you don't have to be grateful to the old man." ”

"But, Master Jiang, why did you sacrifice your life to save me outside Tianyun City, and finally became what you are now, isn't that self-defeating?" Liang Cheng asked.

"Since the old man regards you as a substitute for Peng'er, he naturally loves you sincerely, this is due to the exercises, it can be said that the old man's previous love for you is indeed true, but the final purpose is to kill you, otherwise, how can it be refined into the supreme ruthless trick. Guru Jiang explained.

"The reason why the old man protects you wholeheartedly, in fact, in the final analysis, is to protect his own path to progress, but people are not as good as heaven, and in the end the old man became a wasted person, which was unexpected, and a plan became empty talk, and now the old man has no hope of advancing through the cultivation of ruthless tricks, so there is no need to kill you. But I don't want to hide all this from you, and take advantage of your gratitude to the old man, in this case, the old man's Dao heart will not be transparent. In fact, in the bottom of my heart, I am still grateful to you, because with you, I avoided the fate of killing my own son with my own hands, this fate is what I have feared the most in my heart for many years. ”

After listening to what Master Jiang said, Liang Cheng was silent for a while, and then said: "Master Jiang, everything you expected is basically the same as what actually happened, even if you already know that I am not Jiang Peng, and you don't want to retaliate, then I will treat you as my father-in-law, in fact, I think not only did you treat me as your own son before, but it is the same now, otherwise you would not have told me these things." Now that you have said all this, it is also a good thing, no matter what, you lost your cultivation to save me, so you can't leave, I don't agree. I will do everything I can to help you, and if you never recover, I will always provide for you, after all, I owe you a debt. ”

At this time, Zuoqiu Suqing also walked into Master Jiang's room, stepped forward and said, "Master, I also heard what you said just now, and I am the same, no matter what you took me as an apprentice in the first place, but these days, you have really been good to me, so I will never abandon you." ”

Master Jiang was speechless for a while, and sighed: "Alas, you young people...... How so. ”
