Text: Chapter 9: The Great Road
The days passed, and time was like water.
The second disciple of Luoyang Peak to reach the mortal dust realm appeared.
When Han Shaobin left Luoyang Peak, he deliberately came to Lu Shen's house.
Lu Shen said: "Something?"
Han Shaobin's face turned a little red, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "Thank you for what happened in the North Pavilion last time, but I don't think it's enough to rely on talent to do anything!"
"Huh?"
Lu Shen didn't understand what he meant.
Han Shaobin took a deep breath and said, "I know you are very powerful, I think you have the ability to become a powerful sword cultivator in the Sword Pavilion." So, so... I think you should work hard to cultivate..."
After saying these words, Han Shaobin fled, leaving only Lu Shen with an inexplicable face.
Next, it seems to be a harvest season,
There are more and more disciples who have stepped into the mortal realm.
However, there was a strange scene, when each disciple left, as if they had made an agreement, they would come to Lu Shen's house to say hello, and their tone was respectful.
This situation made Lu Shen a little surprised.
Early one morning, at the top of the peak, after practicing swords, Ling Rongrong carefully explained: "You taught me swordsmanship skills at the beginning... I accidentally told Han Shaobin about them, and then everyone just..."
Lu Shen suddenly realized.
These days, the realm of lemon paste has improved greatly, and it has also come to the cultivation of the Eight Realms of Qi Cultivation. After getting acquainted with Lu Shen on weekdays, he can still chat with Lu Shen, but if he doesn't get a response, most likely the latter is already asleep.
A figure in white fell from the top of the mountain, and then walked slowly down the mountain.
"Jing Chang Zhenren seems to be very strange lately, and he stayed at the top of the mountain all night last night. ”
"Although my temper is getting better and better, I feel a lot older. ”
"When the heart is old, it will naturally look old. Lu Shen glanced at the back and shook his head slightly.
"Senior Brother Lu Shen..."
Lemon Paste seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage and asked, "Do you think there is anything else that needs to be improved in my recent swordsmanship?"
Lu Shen was silent for a while, and said: "Actually, I don't agree with women's sword practice, the upper limit is too low. ”
The girl who was full of anticipation lowered her head in frustration when she heard this, was a little silent, bit her lip, and vaguely aggrieved.
"But..."
Lu Shen raised his head and said, "If there is really a female sword immortal in the world, it will be very good to think about it." ”
The girl's eyes lit up, and her smile couldn't hide it.
Lu Shen rubbed the stupid girl's head and said, "Come on." ”
"Good!"
Ning Rongrong nodded vigorously, and then asked the question that many people had asked again, and said, "You really used a brick in the North Pavilion to stun the two of you?"
"Nope. ”
Lu Shen raised his eyebrows and said, "It's obviously three people!"
“....”
Lemon Paste felt the pride and pride on the young man's face, a little surprised, and a little speechless.
In her eyes, Lu Shen, who didn't seem to care about anything on weekdays, would be proud of this kind of thing.
Doesn't he feel that there are many things in him that he can be proud of?
"It's not the same. ”
Lu Shen saw through her thoughts and said: "The sword is equivalent to my own thing, no matter what realm I reach with the sword, who I kill, it is a matter of course for me." But slabs and bricks are different. ”
Lemon Paste didn't understand a little, but she felt that the way the teenager explained was finally no longer like a heavenly figure who was indifferent to anything on weekdays, and she was a little angry with her peers.
This kind of Lu Shen is more intimate.
Suddenly.
The chirping of cicadas around the summit was much quieter, and the sea of qi and flying clouds in the sky seemed to have stagnated.
Lu Shen, who had closed his eyes from beginning to end, slowly opened his eyes, his black hair was windless, and his eyes exuded a different luster.
Ling Rongrong had also felt this similar change in heaven and earth before, her eyes widened, and she looked at the young man and said with a radiant expression: "Senior Brother Lu Shen?"
Lu Shen lightly exhaled a breath of turbidity, nodded and said, "Ah, mortal dust." ”
The tone of the young man's voice was a little emotional, and there was a hint of relief, which had been quite a torture for him for more than a year.
But in Ling Rongrong's opinion, Lu Shen's tone when he said this was as casual as eating and drinking, as if it was a matter of course.
Which of the people in Luoyang Peak didn't practice hard day and night, and they couldn't wait to use all the time they spent eating and sleeping?
Listening to the young man's bland but proud tone, Ling Rongrong thought to herself that Senior Brother Lu Shen was really a strange and terrifying person.
Lu Shen stood up and rubbed the little girl's head.
Lemon puree blinked and asked, "Leaving you?"
"Hmm. ”
Lu Shen said: "Don't slack off, don't be in a hurry, when it comes to cultivation, pay attention to a drop of water." ”
Lemon paste stuck out her tongue and said innocently: "If only you could eat, sleep, and walk like you, you can reach mortal dust." ”
"Of course not. ”
"Then why can?"
"Hmm.... Because my name is Lu Shen?"
....
Courtyard at the foot of Luoyang Peak.
Jing Chang looked at the young man who pushed the door in front of him and said, "You are coming later than I thought." ”
When he was in the North Pavilion ring, he already knew that Lu Shen had at least the cultivation of the Nine Realms of Qi Cultivation, but he didn't expect to wait so long.
Lu Shen said: "Cultivation is in the heart, only enlightenment and non-enlightenment, there is never a late or not too late. ”
Jing Chang was slightly flustered, then showed a self-deprecating look, nodded and said, "You're right, I'm afraid that I'm afraid that I will never understand the day." ”
A soft sigh.
Watching those young boys and girls who had just stepped into cultivation two years ago gradually ascend to the realm one by one, his state of mind inevitably had some ripples.
He had been staying in the Dust Realm for too long, and he had been practicing penance on the mountain for many years, so he took the initiative to go down the mountain to contact the mortal world, thinking that there might be a miracle, but as a result, his cultivation had not increased at all in the past two years, and there were faint signs of regression.
All kinds of circumstances couldn't help but make him disheartened.
Jing Chang retracted his thoughts and said softly: "You step down, I will report the list, and I can leave here tomorrow." ”
Lu Shen nodded and left.
He could naturally see Jing Chang's current situation, even very early.
Kenshin is covered with dust.
The problems that all sword cultivators on the path of the sword will basically encounter, if there is no way to solve them, they will only completely cut off the avenue.
But he didn't pay attention to it, this experience could only be overcome by himself, not to mention that it had nothing to do with him in the first place.
Lu Shen had just walked out of the gate when he suddenly saw the spirit fruit condensed by the tree in the distance.
This spiritual fruit helps to improve the body's meridians and even helps the body absorb aura.
The young man suddenly remembered that Lemon Paste had said that in the past two years, Jing Chang Zhenren would send the spirit fruit on time every seven days, and he occasionally tasted it and thought it tasted good.
"Where's your sword?" Lu Shen suddenly turned around and asked.
Jing Chang was stunned and subconsciously looked into the house.
The sword "Jiuyang", which was given by the master himself, was placed in the back room by him.
Lu Shen followed his gaze and said, "I haven't drawn my sword for two years, how can my sword heart not be dusted?"
Jing Chang didn't speak.
Lu Shen looked into the distance and said in an astonishing voice: "Actually, I have always felt that there is no need for a place like Sword Pavilion to exist. ”
Jing Chang was furious when he heard this, this kind of behavior equivalent to bullying the teacher and destroying the ancestors was really absurd, and he was about to scold him twice, but was interrupted by the young man.
"The people of the world seek the Tao hard to get rid of the six realms of reincarnation. ”
"The saints of the three religions pursue the Great Dao of immortality in order to stand higher and see farther. ”
"But sword cultivation is different, because sword cultivation pays attention to a good heart, not looking at the current things, only looking at tens of millions of elephants. ”
"With such a large sword pavilion and such a strict inheritance, there may be a good kendo understanding, but it can only invisibly shrink people's minds. ”
"It's normal for you to be unable to step into the realm of no distance for many years when you are out of the dust realm, what is no distance? When you meet the mountains and split the mountains, when you meet the sea and open the sea, the heart is not afraid to be far away. ”
"Only by keeping the world in mind can you use a sword that is not far away. ”
Lu Shen looked at him and said seriously: "You are too indecisive in your heart. ”
Jing Chang's face was a little pale.
Because he found that he could not refute any word of the other party.
There was a silent silence in the courtyard.
Jing Chang raised his head and stared at the young man, his lips were slightly white, and he asked seriously, "Then what should I do?"
"Chop, of course. ”
"The heart lake ripples and fogs, and slashes it with a sword heart. ”
"There is a sea of fire in front of him, and he slashes it with the long sword in his hand. ”
Lu Shen raised his legs and walked out of the courtyard gate and said, "Of course, the premise is that you can pick up your sword." ”
The courtyard was quiet again.
Jing Chang stood in the courtyard in a daze, speechless for a long time, the only thing that changed was the eyes, which gradually became sharper and sharper from the initial confusion,
I don't know how long it took, he closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Sword up!"
There was an ancient sword in the room that had been silent for a long time and began to tremble slightly.
....
Lu Shen walked to the steps at the foot of the mountain and stopped, looking at the sky, as if waiting for something.
Half an hour later, an astonishing sword aura erupted from the center of the courtyard at the foot of the mountain, followed by a sword roar that seemed to have been suppressed for a long time.
This sword roar was extremely thorough, and there was no trace of impurities, resounding throughout Luoyang Peak.
Therefore, the disciples on the mountain all looked down in unison.
Lu Shen smiled.
It was the first smile he had ever smiled when he came to the Sword Pavilion.
He didn't really care much about Jing Chang, in fact, there were very few that he could remember for thousands of years.
But as he said to Mengyixiao.
On the avenue, the people who walk side by side are all Taoist friends.
From this point of view.
The boy is really with a big heart.
