The sword mound is famous in the monastic world, but the main gate was unexpectedly built behind a fairly ordinary mundane town, and the name of the town is Jiankou Town, the gate of the sword mound is simple and straightforward. Descending along the winding mountain road, passing a stone tablet engraved with the word "sword mound", turning into an avenue, it is the fireworks in the world that come from the pavement.

The words on the stele are the penmanship of ordinary teachers, and the lettering is also an ordinary stonemason, and at first glance, I thought it was a bandit cottage in the name of the sword mound.

And stepping into this avenue, he can no longer feel the sharp sword intent lingering in the Thousand Peaks of the Sword Shrine, and he seems to have stepped into another world in a trance. If it weren't for the long robe embroidered with the sword mound pattern on his body, and the hard and cold touch of the sword behind his back, Changning would have thought that the sword mound sun and moon were just a dream.

Lu Ming patted Changning on the shoulder: "It's good to get used to it, the sword intent is restrained by the Protector Sect Great Array, and it's normal not to feel it." ”

"Usually come and go here?" Changning said blankly.

"That's right, you were directly brought by Senior Brother Ye by water, but on land, it has always been here to go in and out. The town is really an ordinary world, and the Sword Ancestor insists that cultivators should not abandon fireworks, and the Sword Shrine has been inherited from generation to generation. At the gate of the sword mound, it is very safe, and the merchants in the past slowly used this town as a transit station, and then all kinds of people gathered here, and it is like this. ”

The crowd on the avenue is bustling, although it is not so much that it is not rubbing shoulders, but for a small town, these people are still a little too much. Changning looked around and found that both sides of the road were full of all kinds of small shops, from bruise medicine to swords and blades, and there were even various signboards hanging in the courtyard such as martial arts hall dart bureaus.

The two people who came out of the entrance of the sword mound were extremely eye-catching, but pedestrians should have been accustomed to seeing the disciples of the sword mound for a long time, greeting each other with their chins bowed back and forth, respectful but neither humble nor arrogant.

"See, the sword mound is still very fond of the mortal world. ”

Lu Ming picked and chose from the roadside stalls as he walked. There are countless geniuses and earth treasures on the sword mound, and the forging hall is directly casting with these materials, and of course these goods on the side of the road can't enter her eyes. But after all, it is the heart of a little girl, and the colorful and exquisite gadgets are enough to make Lu Ming stop.

Fortunately, she still remembered what she was going to do when she went down the mountain, and she didn't move her feet.

Changning followed patiently. Although he was born in a mountain village and grew up in a mountain village, his father took him to the market every month, and he had no less knowledge of the temple fairs during the New Year's festivals.

The roadside stall and the owner of the store have long been familiar with the sword mound logo, and they are enthusiastic to attract the two. In their eyes, these high-ranking cultivators, if they fancy something, they are generous, and they treat these ordinary people with a very good temper, and after a long time, a rare scene of ordinary people and cultivators in the town has been formed, and even has a very good personal relationship, which is also very rare elsewhere.

The coachman had seen a lot, and when he saw that the two of them were not flying with the sword but on foot, he stepped forward and said: "The two immortals want to inspect? If the two immortals have something to use, go straight, and the post station is not far ahead. After speaking, Xiaoyi pulled away a distance, not far or close, followed a few steps, waited for the question as usual, and if no one paid attention, he would never be entangled.

Changning was a little unaccustomed to being treated like this, so he stopped and turned his head sideways and said that if necessary, he would go and see, smiled and thanked him, and the coachman seemed to be greatly shocked, bent down and nodded, and even dared to do so, and no longer followed, and left. Changning was confused by the driver's reaction for a while, obviously it was kindness, how did he scare the other party?

Lu Ming looked at him with a confused face, and said slowly:

"In fact, there is a big gap between cultivators and mortals in the world. Don't look at the fact that everyone in this town is happy on the surface, but in fact, when facing us cultivators, everyone has a little fear hidden in their hearts. The secular dynasty relied on the fortune of the country to control the world, but the sects of the Taoist sect directly seized the creation of the heavens. On weekdays, it seems that the autumn has not committed any crimes, but in fact, the massive resources consumed by cultivators are extremely burdensome to the world, and if a cultivator with a slightly higher realm commits a crime, his gestures will be full of blood, and ordinary headhunters and even garrisons are not opponents at all, so they have to ask for the worship of fellow cultivators to accept them.

"If you and I commit murder now, the worship of Hezhou can be taken down. But if it is Senior Brother Tao Ran, Senior Brother Weigu, he has to invite at least three surrounding states to worship Qi Zhi, or simply invite him from Beijing to worship. If Senior Brother Ye Lan makes a big fuss, I am afraid that as long as the Sword Shrine Master does not make a move, and the other sects are unwilling to tear their faces with the Sword Shrine, the world can only rely on him.

"This kind of unresistible killer, no matter how smiling on his face and behaving as close as he is, it is impossible for ordinary people to completely let down their guard. There are even some outsiders, with the most warm smile on their faces, but they are the most vicious when they attack mortals. Although the Sword Shrine is not like this, in the eyes of ordinary people, what is the difference between cultivators?"

As Lu Ming walked, he encouraged the Dao power to transmit the sound into the secret, picking and choosing in his hands, but the words he said were extremely heavy.

"Master said that your Dao heart is the most clear, and your inner essence is the most clear and clean, and it is naturally impossible to do things that slaughter ordinary people. But the cleanest ones are also the most susceptible to stains. After Xi Liang's battle, we can all feel that you are carrying an invisible pressure. It is impossible for a cultivator to have blood on his hands, but every sword we swing must have a reason to wield it.

The meaning of this is simple. You are no longer what you used to be, and the world will never be able to treat you the way it did then. You don't have to have a grudge in your heart, just cultivate your own way and do your own thing. We are with heaven and earth, and we also protect the common people for heaven and earth.

"When I say chivalry, I'm serious. ”

Lu Ming finally chose a small string of coral bracelets. A string of mundane things is just transported from the sea to the Central Plains over the mountains and mountains, so it is particularly precious in the world.

"Is it good-looking?" Lu Ming put it on, raised his hand and shook it in front of Changning.

"Well, it's good-looking. ”
