Chapter Eighty-Seven: Conscience
All eyes were focused on Huan Yin's body, including Ye Qingyou and his master Duan Yun.
"Yin'er, how are you?" Duan Yun was a little surprised, if Huan Yin's cultivation hadn't recovered, he shouldn't have appeared here.
Huan Yin bowed to Duan Yun and Ye Qingyou: "Uncle Shi, Master, disciple is alright!" At this moment, he looked excited, and anyone could see that he was in a good mood.
Huan Yin's words about him being better naturally mean that his cultivation has fully recovered, and Ye Qingyou's divine sense was slightly released, and he saw Huan Yin's situation - he was indeed well.
Duan Yun sighed a little, it seems that this time Huan Yin's soul burning is indeed unique, even the cultivation can be restored so quickly.
Ye Qingyou nodded, and there was no expression. However, in fact, she was far more surprised than Duan Yun in her heart. Although she didn't know why Huan fell due to cultivation before, there were only a handful of reasons why the monk's cultivation fell, and no matter which one it was, there was no reason to recover in a month. There are too many mysteries on Huan Yin's body, and he can't judge it by common sense at all, although Ye Qingyou is surprised, he is also a little used to it. This junior always makes the people around him unable to see through.
Huan Yin stood behind Duan Yun and turned to look at the disciple who was recruited, and was suddenly taken aback by the crowd in front of him. Then, he found that almost all of these people were looking at him curiously, and there was a little more doubt in his heart.
"Excuse me, is it Senior Brother Huan?" In the crowd, a voice finally couldn't help it, and asked under the pressure of Ye Qingyou.
Huan Yin didn't see who was asking, but he still stepped forward and bowed to the crowd: "I've seen all of you, the little brother is Huan Yin." ”
As soon as Huan said this, there was a low discussion in the crowd, and even the disciples who were supposed to leave in the distance stopped moving, but stopped and watched.
"It's really Senior Brother Huan, why isn't he as tall and heroic as I thought, but he is really polite and humble, he deserves to be the first person among my Infinite Sect disciples!" a male disciple's voice came out.
"Are you blind? Senior Brother Huan is so handsome, what if you ...... If you ......," a female disciple's voice came out again.
"It turns out that Senior Brother Huan is like this, and if I can see Senior Brother Huan today, even if I didn't come in vain!"
"I want to join the Sword Pavilion and learn sword qi from Senior Brother Huan!"
......
"Okay guys, then, let's get started!" Duan Yun saw that Huan was a little embarrassed, and Ye Qingyou frowned again, and hurriedly spoke up.
This time, all the disciples didn't say anything, and they all walked through the "mind reading" and "fortune telling" in turn according to Duan Yun's arrangement, testing their hearts and qualifications.
Although there were many people participating in the test, the test was carried out in an orderly manner and was very fast. In less than an hour, all the disciples who participated in the test completed the test.
After this round, there were only a few eighteen disciples who passed. Most of the disciples who participated in the test were eliminated by the qualification level. It's no wonder that the Infinite Gate is weak, and most of the disciples who worship the Infinite Gate are mediocre, and the Sword Pavilion has set the minimum requirements for qualifications above Wuyong, where are the many disciples who can meet the conditions?
After the test, Duan Yun politely invited the disciples who didn't pass back, and then he said to the remaining eighteen disciples: "Now, all of you who remain are rare pillars of talent in my sect. It's just that the lineage of my Sword Pavilion has been able to continue to this day, not only because the disciples in my Pavilion have cultivated well, but also for a more important reason, that is, all the disciples of my Sword Pavilion can forge swords!"
"If sword cultivation is the spirit of my Sword Pavilion, then sword forging is the soul of my Sword Pavilion!" Speaking of this, the smile on Duan Yun's face was no longer there, but full of seriousness, seriousness, and pride.
"The sword is the core of my Sword Pavilion lineage. I am a member of the Sword Pavilion, everyone practices swordsmanship, slashes demons and destroys demons with swordsmanship, and has made immeasurable contributions to my immeasurable gate in the past years. It's just that if you want to really understand the sword, it's not enough to just cultivate. To forge a sword is to create the shape of the sword, to understand the god of the sword, and to condense the meaning of the sword. ”
"A master is a person who gives the sword form, the god, and the will. To be able to endow the sword shape, spirit, and meaning, in your own swordsmanship, you can truly have charm. If a person can only use swordsmanship, but does not know how to forge a sword, then the sword is nothing more than a magic weapon to him. If a person has extraordinary swordsmanship and knows the way of forging swords, then the sword is his soul, he is the god of the sword, and the spirit and soul are one, and there is no disadvantage!"
These words were said to Duan Yunbai when he was under the Seven Peerless Sect. Unexpectedly, he could one day convey these words to his juniors.
The eighteen disciples who remained, although they all knew that Duan Yun was Huan Yin's master, but Duan Yun had not cultivated for many years, and they were all clear. They came here, either because of Ye Qingyou, or because of Huan Yin. It's just that the words that come out of the mouth of this cultivator who have cultivated to nothingness now make them feel deeply shocked.
If it is said that without Huan Yin and Ye Qingyou, the Sword Pavilion would not have today's momentum, then without Duan Yun, there would be no today's Sword Pavilion. Duan Yun is the hero who really maintains the Sword Pavilion with great efforts, and it is the foundation of the Sword Pavilion!
"If you want to enter my Sword Pavilion, you should know that you have to pass a trial in my Pavilion. This trial is to test whether you are suitable to become an instrumentalist. Now, then, please come down the mountain with me to the trial!"
After that, Duan Yun was about to take a group of disciples down the mountain, when suddenly a disciple asked, "Uncle Duan, I remember you said that no more than five disciples will be recruited this time, if there are more than five people who have passed the trial, what should I do?"
When Duan Yun heard his words, he turned his head and smiled slightly: "Oh, if it can really exceed five, then my Sword Pavilion will accept it all." However, I'm afraid I won't be able to recruit even five. ”
......
To the west of the Qingchuan River, there was a black boulder in the river that was two people high, and there were twenty people standing in front of this boulder at this moment, it was Huan Yin, Duan Yun, and the eighteen disciples who had passed the previous round of tests.
This boulder was the boulder full of sword marks that the old Dao Ci Yuan Ling instructed Huan Yin to wait for Duan Yun.
Duan Yun walked up to the disciples and said loudly: "This boulder behind me is called the 'Sword Test Stone'. When a young disciple of my Sword Pavilion forged his first sword, he would come to this stone side and test the sword with a stone. ”
All the disciples looked at the countless sword marks on this black boulder, and their hearts were extremely shocked. None of them expected that the Sword Pavilion in the original sect, which was considered a waste, had so many disciples.
"Today's trial is about asking the heart. Kokoro refers to the heart of the sword. The disciples of my Sword Pavilion all have a sincere sword heart, so when they forge a sword, they will also integrate their thoughts into the sword they have made. If the sword heart is different, the sword is different, and the sword marks are also different. ”
After a while, Huan Yin will take out fifty swords. These swords are the first swords forged by the ancestors in my pavilion after becoming a qualified craftsman. Although these swords are not of high quality, they are full of their original intentions. To pass the trial, choose one of the fifty swords, find the sword marks on the boulder that match them, and tell you what you feel about the sword heart. If it's all right, it's passed!" Duan Yun finished speaking, and motioned for Huan Yin to take out his sword.
Huan Yin stretched out his hand, and the golden light of the Qiankun bag flashed, and a series of swords flew out of it and fell in front of everyone in an orderly manner. Duan Yun saw that the sword was set up, and he came again: "I'll give you a stick of incense to observe the sword marks on the boulder and understand the sword heart of the predecessor of the Sword Pavilion." Then, give you another ten breaths to choose your sword. Once you've chosen your sword, try them one by one. So, let's get started!"
As soon as Duan Yun's voice fell, the eighteen disciples who participated in the trial all moved. They quickly ran to the boulder and carefully examined the sword marks on the boulder.
The conscience test given by Duan Yun was really not simple, and only a person like him, who had been cultivating and practicing swords in the Sword Pavilion for decades, could think of such a trial method.
The sword marks on the boulder are long and short, thick and thin, deep and shallow, and there are many staggered overlaps, and even a large sword mark contains a small sword mark, these traces accumulated by the ancestors of the Sword Pavilion for countless years, where can they be left in the heart by memory?
What's more, they hadn't seen the swords Huan Yin took out at the moment, and those swords were of different sizes and lengths, and after seeing the dazzling sword marks, they had to face fifty different swords. After doing this, I am afraid that my heart is already in chaos, how to find a sword that can correspond to the sword marks?
Duan Yun gave such a trial, naturally it was not a test of the memories of all the disciples. In fact, what he wanted to select was a disciple who had the same sword heart as the Sword Pavilion ancestors. The ancestors of the Sword Pavilion were all elites, and their understanding and perception of swords were far superior to those of ordinary monks, so when they forged swords, they would fuse their sword hearts into the swords they forged.
Kenshin, in the final analysis, is the person who casts the sword pins his feelings and hopes on the sword. Different people have different sword hearts, so even if the same material and the same process are used to cast the sword, the resulting sword will be different. The sword heart is a feeling, ethereal but not empty, so as long as you can understand the deep meaning of the sword marks on the boulder, and then find a sword with the same feeling among the fifty swords, you will naturally be able to fit.
Soon, the time for a stick of incense passed, and after all the disciples looked at the sword marks, they ran to the other side and looked at the swords on the ground in turn.
At this moment, almost all the disciples were already sweating on their foreheads, and some of them had bloodshot in their eyes. They all wanted to join the Sword Pavilion, so they did their best.
Finally, the ten breaths were over, and all the disciples had a sword in their hands, which they had selected and wanted to try to match the sword marks.
"Alright, guys, let's get started!"
With Duan Yun's shout, the trial began!
