"Little junior sister, no, you have to raise your hands high, you have to work hard, you can't look at it. ”

"It's too high······ If you can't poke people like this, you have to find the right one to make a sword, right?"

"Eyes, what are you hiding from your eyes······ Now is the time to draw the sword, and you don't even open your eyes, how do you know if you have stabbed someone? Don't be afraid. ”

Li Zijin stood in the dead end next to the Shaohua Tavern, looking at the little junior sister in white who was holding the sword Cangjie, and had a headache.

This is no better than the Feixue Inn, there is no spacious backyard, and the two brothers and sisters can only practice swords in the uninhabited alley next to the Shaohua Tavern.

It's not like he hasn't seen Hong Shao out of his sword?

Could it be that in the underground of the Sleepless Mountain Library Building, you can understand it if you are taught by the female sword fairy Yunmeng, but now in this alley, you can't teach the sword yourself?

Li Zijin looked at the girl who was a little clumsy in her hands and feet, so timid as a mouse that she would turn her head sideways and close her eyes even when she took out her sword, and said with a wry smile: "Or, let's practice again another day?"

He always felt that Hong Shao was a little absent-minded, but he couldn't say anything heavy, after all, she was a girl, and she might not be able to stand a few heavy words and would shed tears. He has never taught others, and he is even more afraid that he will not be able to handle the proportions well, and his words will hurt Hong Shao.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, held the sword Cangjie again, pursed her mouth, and said seriously: "No, just practice today." Brother, let's do it again!"

In fact, it was not the first time that the girl had held a sword, she was just too nervous. Somehow, Sister Yunmeng taught the sword, and she could devote herself wholeheartedly, but when the "justifiable" senior brother taught the sword, she couldn't focus on the swordsmanship itself, but focused on the senior brother.

However, it seems that the senior brother is a little disappointed. She has to cheer up quickly, the girl has such a thought, increased the strength in her hand, firmly grasped the hilt of Cangjie's sword, frowned, like facing a great enemy, a little cute.

Li Zijin couldn't help laughing, and also re-grasped the scabbard, he didn't dare to directly use the Cuiqu sword to "practice" with the little junior sister, not that he was afraid that he would hurt her, this bit of proportion Li Zijin can still grasp on his own.

But Hong Shaodu, who faced the scabbard, was often so scared that he couldn't open his eyes, if he really held the sword and let the girl face the white blade, I am afraid she would be even more at a loss.

Hong Shao re-drew his sword, and this time, the girl was extra serious.

Li Zijin borrowed the sword with the Cuiqu scabbard to help her stabilize the foundation of swordsmanship, so she naturally started practicing the thirteen swordsmanship skills taught by Xie Yufeng.

The thirteen kinds of sword moves, as the "foundation" of the swordsmanship of all schools and schools in the world, are the basic skills that every sword cultivator needs to be solid.

He himself came from this process, although it would be boring at first, but sword training is like this, and so is cultivation.

I want to become stronger, become an earth immortal, a heavenly immortal, or even ascend to the heavenly realm. Then you need to make efforts that ordinary people can't put in.

The path of cultivation is full of thorns and waves, and it is very heavy that people can bear.

Therefore, every time Li Zijin sees that the little junior sister doesn't want to practice swords, he won't urge him too much, but now he is more out of a "free-range" mentality, willing to learn, and unwilling to learn.

After all, he has endured these hardships and knows how difficult it is.

It's just that the more difficult thing than practicing the sword is cultivating the mind.

Cultivators, cultivation can still be done step by step, but mind cultivation is more difficult, more ethereal, and there is no trace to follow, after all, there is no way to self-examine the matter of mind cultivation with a set of standards all the time.

The young man turned sideways to dodge the sword that went straight to his face, and smiled: "Very good, this time is much more beautiful than before, a neat sword!"

"Really?!" The girl in white who heard the praise could not hide the joy in her heart, and smiled from ear to ear.

Li Zijin said truthfully: "Really, keep the state of the sword just now, hold your breath and concentrate, and do it again." ”

Hong Shao nodded solemnly, and according to what the senior brother said, he took out his sword again.

A smart and clever girl, the last two pieces are no longer aimed at Li Zijin's face, but at the neck and chest.

Li Zijin narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the sword aimed at his chest with the scabbard of his sword, and said, "It's okay, I already know how to change my moves." Much progress has been made. ”

When he practiced swords outside the small courtyard of Wuding Mountain Bamboo Forest, Xie Yufeng never hesitated to praise himself, although his mentor Xie Yufeng always said that he was stupid and needed to put in more effort from other people to reach the cultivation realm of others.

But even if Li Zijin did a trivial thing that seemed trivial to him, Xie Yufeng would also praise him.

For example, today is a few more swords than yesterday, for example, today is earlier than yesterday. For another example, today is a little faster than yesterday, the speed of the sword is a little faster, the strength is a little greater, and the pace is a little steady······

And Xie Yufeng's compliments all gave the boy great encouragement.

These words are the key to supporting Li Zijin's interest in sword practice when he first entered the kendo, and let this interest support him to maintain high-intensity practice every day. It can be said that if there were no seemingly insignificant compliments and admiration, even if Li Zijin still insisted on practicing swords every day, he would have lost a lot of self-confidence in swordsmanship.

"A swordsman cannot live without self-confidence. ”

This is what Sui seniors said.

The old man didn't get along much with Li Zijin, and in a few years, he would appear near the county guard mansion once every three or two months, and then take Li Zijin to the back mountain of Taiping County to drink and chat. Most of the teenagers told the old man some interesting things that had happened recently, and the old man just drank his head and listened quietly, occasionally saying a few words.

The old sword immortal of Sui, who had already soared away, did not leave much for Li Zijin, but every word was fine, and every sentence was a golden and jade good word.

For example, a swordsman can lose in the realm, but the momentum of the sword must not be weaker than others, and a sword must be handed out, no matter who or how many people are in front of him, they must be radiant, and they must avoid its edge.

Teacher Xie Yufeng also has a sentence very similar to Sui's predecessors on this point.

Swordsmanship can be lost, but the sword bones cannot be broken.

Li Zijin came back to his senses, looked at the girl who kept making swords, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, looking at Hong Shao's eyes, that smile was sunny and warm, like a spring breeze.

The result is that the sword is distracted, stabbed and leaning sideways, which makes people laugh.

The young swordsman in the green shirt who held the scabbard of Cuiqu, didn't know where the girl had a problem, and the continuous sword moves that he had finally built up were destroyed by such a heart just now, and the sword moves were broken, and the efforts made before were in vain, and it took half a day of hard work to capture the slightest imperceptible "feeling" of the sword, just slipping away from the fingers of the girl in white, and then trying to catch that "feeling", but it was not easy at all.

Li Zijin suddenly became a little anxious, as if he cared more about her swordsmanship improvement than Hong Shao himself.

The girl in white just now faintly had the appearance of a sword bone on her body.

Li Zijin can be sure that if he maintains the posture of the sword, and persists for a while, maybe he will be able to understand the sword bone before he knows the sea, which is an unavoidable opportunity, talent, timing, and luck are all indispensable.

After watching the girl continue to shoot the sword and the posture was amazing, he didn't even praise it anymore, and didn't dare to disturb it in the slightest, because he was worried that once he spoke, he would "drive away" the "feeling" of the sword on Hong Shao's body, which can also be called "meaning".

"It's clear that the sword bone is about to be born······" Li Zijin looked lost, and his sister's loss seemed to be more regrettable than his own loss in his eyes.

"Right······ I'm sorry, brother, I'm wandering again. After Hong Shao's sword stabbed away, he also noticed it, and the wonderful feeling that seemed to be lingering on his arm just now was gone.

But for the time being, the girl who doesn't understand what a sword bone is.,It's not an apology for losing some kind of unknown opportunity.,Just apologize for her own loss.。

She is not afraid of anything, but she is afraid that her senior brother will be disappointed in her.

Cen Tianchi, who was separated by a wall from the two, was sending melons and fruits to his mouth, and at the same time he was interested in "the wall has eyes", looking at one person and one demon in the alley, a senior brother, and a junior sister, which was a little funny.

The gentle woman chuckled: "If you practice swords like this, I'm afraid that you will only be able to practice one swordsmanship, 'combining two swords'." ”

It is to make fun of the girl in white who is also from the essence of the charm, her mind is not on the sword, but on the person, how can she practice any swordsmanship, unless she is double cultivated, then there is a slight opportunity.

However······ It's not that the girl in white is not talented, on the contrary, a "mortal body of flesh" who has not yet opened up the sea of knowledge has almost grabbed the "sword bone" with one hand, which is not only one in ten thousand, but also a million-in-one.

This kendo talent, even far surpassing the young swordsman in green shirt who is teaching swords, he is already a rare cultivation seed, and he also has his own unique views on swordsmanship, over time, he will definitely be able to grow into a figure that is enough to open a sect in a state landscape, and it is a rare genius for a hundred years and a thousand years, but he doesn't seem to know it.

The girl in white has no problem learning, and the young man in green shirt has no problem teaching, so ······ What went wrong?

Cen Tianchi sat alone on a chair facing the wall, suddenly covered his mouth and smiled, and said to himself: "It may be that there is something wrong with the word 'love'." ”

The guy Ah Niu happened to be wiping the table next to him, and when he saw the shopkeeper sitting there with his own eyes, facing the wall, talking and laughing to himself, he instantly felt creepy, and felt that his shopkeeper should have fallen into an evil spirit?

Cen Tianchi rolled his eyes, and in a charming manner, he turned his head and glared at the guy Ah Niu who was standing in a daze, and said angrily: "Why are you stunned, why don't you do things quickly, are you evil?"

After the men hurriedly left, the gentle woman turned her head again and found that the senior brother and sister were no longer in the alley separated from the Shaohua Tavern.

The next moment, she rolled her eyes again, put away the little magic power that "has eyes on the wall", turned her head to look at the young swordsman in green shirts, and handed him the plate of immortal melons and fruits that she had scavenged from the juniors of the sect with a smile on her face, and said, "Do you want to taste it?"

————

When night fell, Hong Shao had already fallen asleep, and Li Zijin was still in the house poring through a copy of the "Honghu Classic" borrowed from Cen Tianchi, the shopkeeper of the Shaohua Tavern.

This book is similar to the "Jinhuai County Chronicles" that I borrowed from the old man in the bookstore when I was in Jinhuai City.

It's just that the book in Li Zijin's hand in front of him can record the history of Honghu Prefecture, and the thickness of the book is as thick as more than a dozen Jinhuai County Chronicles.

If you really want to read this "Honghu Classic" page by page, word by word, I am afraid that it will take Li Zijin more than half a year's time, and it will have to be a situation where you spend a lot of time reading books every day, and you can't do anything else.

Naturally, this cannot be the case with teenagers.

This time he borrowed this book, Li Zijin had two purposes.

One of them was to avoid some situations in Jinhuai City that he was overwhelmed.

For example, in dealing with Qiao Hongmiao, the young man thought that he had not considered it, so that he was so late that he owed the owner of the Zhehua Building a great favor in vain.

Even because of this incident, he lost a supreme sword qi that could save his life in Zhehualou.

The severity of this incident can almost be seen as his "missing life". After all, with that supreme sword qi in his body, he could be slashed with a sword under the Nine Realms, this was what Sui Lao Sword Immortal said personally before leaving, and this matter was also confirmed when facing Han Jian and Changmei Daoren.

At that time, Sui Lao Sword Immortal borrowed three sword qi to the young man, only saying that these three sword qi can only be used when you are about to die, and they can protect you for several years.

In retrospect, would it be too hasty to say "several years" from the mouth of the Sui seniors?

After all, it has only been a year since the demise of Taiping County.

However, the three sword qi on his body had all been used up.

Therefore, without this "talisman", Li Zijin needs to be extra careful when walking the rivers and lakes in the future, so it is extremely important to find out the situation in Honghu Prefecture.

At least, next time, you must not be forced to share life and death with your opponent without knowing anything about your opponent.

Second, when he was in Jinhuai City before, on the eve of his departure, the old gentleman in Jinhuai Bookstore suddenly shouted Li Zijin alone in the bookstore at night and explained a few things.

Although the old man said several things separately, the young man believed that those things could be judged as one thing after all.

This matter is an "incurable disease" that has puzzled a Honghu Prefecture for hundreds of years, and it belongs to an incurable disease that makes the secular dynasty of the entire Honghu Prefecture and even those immortal sects on the mountain helpless, and its difficulty has even reached the level of terminal illness.

None of them.

Just to say that there is only one Honghu Prefecture, almost all the temples are declining day by day and are going to perish.

The gods of Honghu Prefecture, the incense they received from the people of a state, is getting worse day by day, and the impact of this loss on the gods is almost irreversible.

The gods who have lost their faith are like water without a source and a tree without roots, they cannot last long, they can only eat their old books year after year, and one day they will sit and eat empty mountains.

Until the last believer in this world loses this faith.

At that time, that former god will be like a qi refiner's body will die, his golden body will turn into powder, and his divine consciousness will disappear.

In addition to Honghu Prefecture, the situation of the gods of a state is becoming more and more difficult.

All the Qi Refiners in Honghu Prefecture, including those orthodox immortal masters on the mountain whose names were recorded on the genealogy of the sect, as well as some wild cultivators and scattered cultivators wandering in the mountains and forests and the world, their realm heights were also constantly "shortening".

A year is not as good as a year.

This point can only be seen from one thing, that is, all the mountain immortal sects in Honghu Prefecture, their requirements for recruiting disciples are decreasing almost every year, and at the beginning, some mortals who have the dream of cultivating will be assessed and evaluated in all aspects, and finally according to the conditions of each selected person, they will make extremely strict choices.

Just say that the Shanhai Sect, which is the leader of the Immortal Sect on the mountain of Honghu Prefecture, has many requirements for beginner disciples.

It is not only necessary to have certain cultivation qualifications and roots, but also to dabble in Taoist classics, and it is also required that the disciples' temperament should not be too much to chase fame and fortune.

This is only a requirement for the outer disciples, if it is the inner disciple of the Shanhai Sect or the ancestor of the ancestral hall, the content of its assessment covers all aspects, and it is almost no longer a requirement for an ordinary man who eats grains and grains to become an immortal master on the mountain, but to require them to become a saint and sage.

How is this possible?

People are not sages, and before they become immortals, they all need to eat grains and grains all the time to maintain their lives, and how can they completely detach themselves from the vulgar word.

If you eat fireworks in the world and grow up, how can you not eat fireworks in the world at all?

It's just that even the Shanhai Sect, which has such strict requirements, is lowering the requirements for selecting introductory disciples every year, and other mountain immortal sects in Honghu Prefecture have followed suit, which is also the key crux of the mountain in Honghu Prefecture today, where one generation is not as good as one generation, and one year is not as good as one year.

There are more Qi Refiners than before, but the good and bad in the sect have also become uneven, and even more with "relationships", "means", and "interests", even Qi Refiners with extremely poor cultivation talents can also rely on eating pills to improve part of their realm in a short period of time, so as to deceive those immortal masters who are in the mountain Immortal Sect to check the entrance assessment.

Abuse is also on the rise.

It's not that these sects are unwilling to abide by the tradition and would rather lack than abuse, but if they don't lower some requirements to recruit Qi Refiners from all over the world as introductory disciples, then in another ten or decades, a sect will gradually perish.

Or take 10,000 steps back and say, the realm within the sect is as high as the Jindan and the earth immortals above the Yuanying, and they can live for hundreds of years by virtue of their cultivation, but what about the disciples in the realm who are not as good as a year after a year?

After telling Li Zijin about the current difficult situation in Honghu Prefecture, the old man of the bookstore also said to Li Zijin:

The ruler needs to be governed.

Incense is inherited.

Whether it is the gods, or those immortal sects on the mountain, or the secular dynasties, or the small vassal countries.

Even ordinary people and ordinary people, their incense also needs to be inherited, and only by passing on the flames of their predecessors can this will not be extinguished.

For the gods, the inheritance of incense is the inheritance of faith.

For the country, the inheritance of incense is the continuation of the national honor and the inheritance of the dynasty.

For the immortal sect on the mountain, the inheritance of incense is the inheritance of Taoism, supernatural powers, and skills, and the master is the continuation of the ancestor of each sect who opened the sect at the earliest, and continues his "Tao" and is the inheritance of "Tao".

For the academy, the inheritance of incense is the inheritance of culture, the continuation of ideas, the development of traditional civilization and successors, and the inheritance of the beautiful vision of "opening peace for all generations" in the hearts of the scholars who shoulder the family and country to move forward day by day.

These incense inheritances seem to be a bit "immeasurable", not something that one person can do, but if everyone in Honghu Prefecture has such a vision in their hearts, one day, it can always be done.

That night, Li Zijin listened a lot and thought a lot, and the young man asked: "Since Mr. is not from Honghu Prefecture, why is he so concerned about Honghu Prefecture?"

The old man coughed, and in a hoarse voice, he said softly: "This is not only the case in Honghu Prefecture, but in fact, Canggeng Prefecture, Fuyao other states, and even a Fuyao world, are all like this. If one day, all the gods on the spectrum of immortals have fallen, the gods are empty, the secular dynasties are full of disputes, wars are flying, and the people are struggling to make a living. The mountains do not suppress the sea, the dragon does not control the water, and the king does not care about the people. The old decay will certainly not sit idly by. ”

Li Zijin wanted to speak and stopped.

The old gentleman added: "I believe that 'you' will not either. ”

————

There was a slight knock on the door, Li Zijin closed the obscure and lengthy "Honghu Classic", got up and held the candle, walked to the door, and gently opened the door.

"I don't know why Miss Ji came to visit late at night?" asked Li Zijin suspiciously.

The woman first stood on tiptoe, crossed Li Zijin, and glanced into the room. To be precise, she looked at the sleeping girl on the bed in the room.

After making sure that the girl was asleep, Ji Wushuang put down his feet and said, "Li ······ Li Gongzi, you haven't slept yet. ”

Because he read the book in the middle of the night, the young man's face was a little tired, so naturally he didn't smile. In Ji Wushuang's eyes, he had a serious expression, as if he had written the words "Don't approach a living" on his face.

But if a woman wants to see someone, even if there are rules and regulations, she will naturally try her best to break them, such as the four words "don't get close to the living" on Li Gongzi's face, Ji Wushuang comforted herself with "Now that I and the predecessors of the Sword Immortal, we are naturally not considered to be living".

Anyway, don't get close to the living, if you're not a living person, can't you get close?

That's how women are logical.

Li Zijin laughed and said, "Miss Ji looks at me like this, like she is sleepwalking?"

The young man looked like he was talking to death, obviously having given an eviction order.

I don't know why, since I had the lesson of tomorrow night, now Li Zijin meets a woman, and the first thing he thinks about is to stay away.

Otherwise, it would be more or less annoying to be talked about "color embryos" by those women every day, and if it was just like that, he could laugh it off and just take it as a joke.

But what the young man was afraid of was that she would see her sweetheart in the future, and she also listened to a few words from those women who didn't know why, and mistook herself for the prodigal son, wouldn't she jump into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away?

Just like tomorrow night, I clearly regard her as a good friend, but what about the girl? I always shouted to myself one by one, and after a long time, it seemed that she was still shouting, and the more she shouted, the more energetic she became.

At that time, Li Zijin found an opportunity to explain the matter desperately, and learned that the girl was on the Kunpeng ferry tonight, and saw that she and the ferry maid Miss Kite often walked together, so she called herself one by one. Li Zijin explained, saying that he took the Xianjia ferry for the first time, and there were many rules that he didn't understand, and he wanted to consult Miss Kite. He also said that with the help of the kite-girl, he caught a golden turtle for him and sold it for a lot of fairy money. So out of gratitude, since that time, Li Zijin has always regarded the kite as a friend to make, eating with friends, taking a walk, is there anything wrong?

It's a pity that the depiction became darker and darker later, and after Li Zijin found that he couldn't change his image in Mingye's eyes no matter what, he could only suffer a dumb loss and no longer be bored.

So later, when I met a woman again, the teenager kept a distance of more than one zhang, did not squint, and was concise and to the point, never letting the other party have a chance of misunderstanding him.

He felt that in this way, no one would call himself "color embryo" by mouth like tomorrow night.

But what the young man didn't know was that in Ji Wushuang's eyes, his actions seemed quite old-fashioned and serious, and he belonged to the righteous gentlemen among the righteous gentlemen, and he was more pleasing to women. In addition, Ji Wushuang mistakenly regarded Li Zijin as a hidden sword immortal, and he had a life-saving grace for her, so last night in the cave, the back of the green shirt who dragged the turquoise sword back slowly left an indelible impression on her.

That's why we're going to visit late tonight.

Ji Wushuang, who pretended not to hear Li Zijin's tone, instead said to himself: "Since Gongzi Li hasn't rested yet, I wonder if Gongzi can accompany me to relax?"

Li Zijin turned his head, looked at the sky through the window, and muttered, "But it's so late." ”

"If Childe thinks that Wushuang is bothering you, then forget it······" Ji Wushuang lowered his head slightly, with some grievances on his face.

The young man in the green shirt was speechless, and he didn't want to hurt people too much, so he quickly explained: "No, it doesn't bother ······"

Ji Wushuang didn't wait for Li Zijin to finish speaking, he quickly turned his head and changed his happy expression, and said, "So, Li Gongzi is willing to go out for a walk with me?"

Li Zijin finally agreed, first, because he was afraid that the two of them would stand at the door of the room and you would say a word, and the little junior sister would be woken up later. Second, he is also a young man with thin skin, and he is easy to be soft-hearted, and he can't stand the grinding of women.

Fang Cai's Ji Wushuang eyes were about to shed tears, he saw at a glance that something was wrong, Li Zijin was most afraid of this, so he could only agree to come down, thinking that he would go out for a walk with her.

You must not walk for too long, just walk half a stick of incense!

With this in mind, the boy and the woman strolled through the streets of Hongzhou City at night.

Although Li Zijin came out reluctantly, when Ji Wushuang asked him, where are we going. The young man directly chose the direction to the north of the city, which was the opposite direction of Wei Mansion, and he knew that there were extremely painful memories of Ji Wushuang on the Wei Mansion side of Lihua Lane in the south of the city.

Although the young man didn't understand what it was like to be stripped of his life by the black bowl and the magic circle, he seemed to be born to empathize with others, know the joys, sorrows and sorrows of others, and was unwilling to easily touch the wounds of others. You can sincerely rejoice in the joy of your friends, or you can empathize with and have compassion for the suffering of people you don't know.

In Xie Yufeng's words, Li Zijin was born to practice "empathy" swordsmanship. Empathy is a talent that not everyone has.

Only by empathizing with all things in the world can we truly stand on an objective and fair perspective and make some extremely difficult but unfortunate choices.

For example, if you kill someone for the benefit of the world, you just need to see whether the person who makes the choice puts himself in the "one person" or the "world".

The two walked to the north of Hongzhou City, and since they could not go out of the city at night, they could not go out of the city at most, and could not go outside the city.

Ji Wushuang was a little regretful, originally she wanted to go to the pear forest outside the city with this Li Gongzi, I heard that in late winter and early spring, the crescent spring outside Hongzhou City, the pear trees all over the mountains will bloom, the scenery is pleasant, the most suitable ······ It is the most suitable to watch the flowers with your sweetheart and talk about your heart.

Unexpectedly, Li Zijin caught a glimpse of the city wall of Hongzhou City, there was a staircase to climb the city wall, and the young man suddenly became interested, and accelerated his pace to the city wall.

Without words, Ji Wushuang naturally followed him, but he didn't understand what he was going to do.

Under the city wall, there were two officers and soldiers of the night watch, looking young, seventeen or eighteen, not as weak as the crown. The two sat on the ground with their backs to the wall, chatting, passing the boring vigil and avoiding dozing off.

Seeing Li Zijin and Ji Wushuang rushing towards this side, one of them suddenly stopped talking and glanced at the colleague beside him.

The latter immediately got up and frowned slightly: "Who are you, what are you doing here at the city gate so late?"

Under normal circumstances, the officers and soldiers of Hongzhou City would not be so wary of the people, but the young man in green shirt carried a sword behind his back, although the Zheng court did not issue a ban on martial arts, but in the face of these swordsmen walking the rivers and lakes, the officers and soldiers have always been not very welcome.

After all, the people who love to cause trouble the most are these people in the rivers and lakes.

There are often people who rely on their own skills, have no king's law, either wantonly out of swords, or wantonly wield swords, guns and halberds, maybe such people will keep playing the slogans of "doing the right thing for heaven" and "robbing the rich and helping the poor", standing on the side of the so-called justice, and calling themselves "chivalrous".

Every time you get into trouble, you need the officers and soldiers to clean up the mess, and you can't say that you will be injured or die because of it, after all, the officers and soldiers are just officers and soldiers, and the swordsman may be the sword cultivator among the qi refiners on the mountain.

Therefore, the two officers and soldiers who stayed under the city gate to keep vigil did not have a good face towards the young swordsman in the green shirt and carrying the sword.

Li Zijin didn't mind, but just stretched out his hand and pointed to the stairs on the side, and asked with a smile: "Two adults, we are guests staying in the Shaohua Tavern in the west of the city, and we came out at night to relax, I want to ask you two, can you still go to the city now?"

In fact, according to Zheng Guo's law, strictly speaking, as long as it is not wartime, then even if it is midnight and three watches on weekdays, there is naturally no problem for the residents of the city who want to climb the city wall.

It's just that Li Zijin is just a swordsman.

And Zheng Guo's officers and soldiers are precisely prejudiced against swordsmen.

In fact, not only the officers and soldiers of Zheng Guo, but even more than the people of Zheng Guo, in fact, the people of the world, especially ordinary people, will be more or less prejudiced against swordsmen and sword cultivators. Even if they face the sword immortals, they will be low-voiced and flattering, but in their hearts, there are still many people who don't like it, or they hate it.

For example, in Buye Mountain, Jiang Xiang, who was pretending to be a disciple of the farmer's outer sect at that time, once admitted to Li Zijin that he was most annoyed by the fact that he was a sword cultivator all day long, as if he had such an identity as a sword cultivator, he was superior, and he could walk sideways, without scruples, and do whatever he wanted.

And such a person, swordsmanship is still sparse, after losing people's eyes, he has no other skills, and the ability to complain to his elders is perfect.

That's the real lesson of the young and the old, and the old and the immortal.

Such a guy has ruined the reputation of the person who wields the sword.

They are the main culprits who people in the world are not accustomed to sword cultivation.

But how can people in the world have so much effort to understand what kind of sword cultivation you are?

Most people, turning a book, just look at a layer of skin, let alone cut deep into their bones, and even flesh and blood are not willing to spend some effort to look at it.

To do one thing, it completely depends on "inertia", only the first moment of picking up the arms is powerful, and after that, it is all residual energy. Those residual energies, just like the incense in Honghu Prefecture, will only become less and less, and eventually disappear completely.

When you look at a person, you can determine in your heart whether that person is good or evil just by the first glance, and it is even more impossible to listen to people's explanations and judge things on the facts. When there is prejudice in the eyes of people, all remarks are excuses and cover-ups in the eyes of that person.

Jiang Xiang was already extremely reserved when he said these words, after all, he didn't tell Li Zijin that he had picked many sects' ancestral halls with his sword.

As a sword cultivator, Jiang Xiang has not liked many people, but so far, only the sword has picked on the ancestral hall of those sword sects, and for the mountain sects of other branches of the qi refiner, it is not pleasing to the eye when he meets him, and Jiang Xiang is too lazy to care.

It may be that the other party is not worthy of letting him use the sword.

It may also be that he feels that as a sword cultivator, he is a bit of a bully if he doesn't fight sword cultivation.

It may also be a greater vision, but if Jiang Xiang doesn't say it, no one will know about it.

"I can't get on it, let's go back quickly. Another officer and soldier said impatiently.

The corners of Li Zijin's mouth twitched, he would ask this question, it was really completely out of politeness, seeing that there were two officers and soldiers guarding the city who happened to be here, so even if he wanted to climb the city wall, he would say hello to the other party first, which was considered a courtesy.

In fact, when he was flipping through the "Honghu Classic", he happened to see Zheng Guo's decrees, and he was even familiar with the laws and regulations of Jinhuai City and Hongzhou City, so he naturally knew that he and Ji Wushuang could climb the city wall. It's just that I didn't expect to be sternly rejected by these two officers and soldiers.

Ji Wushuang rushed over, hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward, and said: "As far as I know, as long as it is not wartime, all the walls of Zheng Guo are open to the people, and after the beginning of spring, the people in the city are encouraged to climb the city walls.

As a member of the Ji family, even if it is a collateral bloodline, Ji Wushuang's understanding of Zheng Guo is still not lost to any Zheng Guo official, let alone the lowest level of officers and soldiers below.

Even if Ji Wushuang was asked to put Zheng Guo's law order upside down, the woman would not be the slightest bit ambiguous.

Li Zijin looked at the woman standing in front of him with some surprise, and his side face was somewhat similar to Su Hu, thinking that at that time, when he and Su Hu first entered Wuding City in Yan Kingdom, Su Hu also stood in front of him like this, arguing with the soldiers who defended Wuding City.

watched Ji Wushuang change his submissiveness when he spoke to him. The young swordsman unexpectedly had a lot of changes in his opinion of this only descendant of the Ji family—at least, he had completely stopped thinking of the few kicks she had kicked him before when he saw Ji Wushuang······

The officer and soldier were so stunned by Ji Wushuang that they had nothing to say, but they couldn't attack a woman, so they could only turn their heads and glare at the young swordsman in green shirts, and scolded: "If you say that you are not allowed to go up, you are not allowed to go up, you should go back quickly." ”

After speaking, the two officers and soldiers lightly rested their hands on the handle of the narrow knife at their waists, as if it was useless to say more, and they were about to do it.

Ji Wushuang was not afraid, frowned, and was about to continue to "talk" with them.

"Forget it. Li Zijin said softly, "Miss Ji, since they said no, it may really be not, let's go back." ”

"But. Ji Wushuang wanted to speak and stopped.

Li Zijin shook her head, she had no choice but to give up, but before leaving, she didn't forget to turn her head and glared at the two officers and soldiers, feeling that there was no such person, who didn't make any sense, and it was clear that they could go up, which was really unreasonable.

The two of them walked back step by step along the road they had come.

But after the scene just now, the young man was not in a hurry to rush back to the inn.

Looking at Ji Wushuang's side face, Li Zijin thought of Su Hu.

I don't know where she is now, how she is doing.

As a sword cultivator, it is already so difficult to be treated with prejudice by the human race who are actually the same kind.

So as a demon, Su Hu walked the rivers and lakes, how many horizontal eyebrows should he suffer, and what Qianfu was referring to?

In the sleepless mountain, Li Zijin had already felt the delicate relationship between the human race and the demon race, and the demon clans on the martial arts platform clearly had the strength to win against those few human monks.

However, because of the people who watched the competition, ninety percent of them were human races, and a very small number of demon clans could only transform into human forms and did not dare to show their true faces.

So those demons, in the end, chose to "regret defeating others", can't they be defeated?

At first, Li Zijin didn't understand that since he was on stage and couldn't win, he still had to work hard to try what to do.

Until he saw a human monk with his own eyes, he took out a bag from his bosom and handed it to the flower demon.

It is not easy to cultivate, and demons also need fairy money.

I thought that whether it was the gods on the mountain or the spirits of the world, I embarked on the road of cultivation, and from then on I could only hope for immortality and only take the avenue.

I didn't expect that after I became a qi refiner, I came to re-examine all this, only to find that whether it was a human or a demon, or a god or a ghost.

are all confined to the "sophistication of human feelings", and can only take some sheep intestine paths.

Just like the teacher and girl in Kaoyufang, "How can you not get stained when you get out of the mud?"

How can you and I come from the smoke and fire without being stained with dust?
