At the beginning of leaving home, Changning was still very silent. After walking for dozens of miles, looking back, Dacang Mountain is still majestic, but the small village has long been hidden below the horizon.

The two walked on the official road, and occasionally an ox cart creaked and squeaked past, and the coachman at the front of the car hummed a little song, so comfortable.

There are also all kinds of pedestrians, either in a hurry, or leisurely.

However, when everyone encounters two people, they inevitably look back and look twice.

There is no other reason. In a place like the West Pole, it is rare to see a young man with a delicate face like Changning, and that kind of gentle temperament is far from being comparable to a group of martial artists who only care about their strength. It's just that in the village, everyone has long been commonplace, and once they come out, they naturally become the focus of everyone's attention.

And Ye Lan is even more extraordinary. The uprightness of the turbid world is the object of competition among girls everywhere. A long sword crossed his waist showed off his heroism. This guy is not restrained at all, as long as he faces the opposite sex, he habitually sends a gentle smile, which makes several aunts passing by red-faced.

Where could Changning stand this kind of scene, just full of curiosity, so he provoked the topic: "Where is the sword mound?"

Ye Lan finally put away that amorous aura. His expression became one of reverence and pride. He tilted his head slightly, and his gaze crossed the layers of mountains and clouds, casting it to somewhere far away.

He said, "Sword mound, by the river." ”

There are too many rivers in the world.

On the way out of the village, the two crossed a thin river. The people in the village fetch water and clothes, and they are all here. Changning is naturally very familiar with this small river.

The small river flows not far away, and flows into a larger river. Not too far apart from the river, there is a string of pontoons connected by arm-thick hemp rope, a wide pontoon bridge, and even ox carts can be crossed.

The big river rushes and pours into the bigger river. Some travelers from afar said that the river is so turbulent that only a bridge made of boulders can withstand the impact of many years.

And Ye Lan only said, by the river.

Then this world only means that river.

From the Tianshan Mountains in the west, it flows down for tens of thousands of miles. All the way east, unstoppable.

A river is a sword, and it is a sword move.

The sword mound is hidden on its side.

The disciples of the sword mound temper their bodies with their momentum and refine their swords with their water.

Whoever stands in the way, slash them with a sword!

If you are afraid that the sky and the earth will change color, you will break it with a sword!

Changning yearns for it.

"What about you, Brother Ye, can anyone who stands in the way be cut with a sword?"

Ye Lan smiled bitterly: "You also saw that those few people joined forces last night, and I couldn't beat it." ”

"They say you're five steps, you're six steps, what is that?"

Ye Lan's expression was a little unnatural, and she thought to herself, you have such a fierce pair of fathers and mothers, it is really not easy to suppress and not tell you these things. But he didn't stop there:

"Cultivating the road is like climbing a mountain. Ordinary people stand at the foot of the mountain and can't find the way. Some don't even see the mountains.

"However, when you see the trail of mountaineering and try to step out of the footsteps of mountaineering, this step is steady, which is the so-called one-step cultivation. It's just that this step is extremely difficult, and even if someone leads it, there are not a few people who are trapped at the foot of the mountain all their lives without knowing the essentials.

"One step, there are two steps, three steps. Then you see the scenery in the mountains that ordinary people can't see in their lifetime, and experience experiences that ordinary people will never have in their lifetime. These three steps are the foundation of the thousands of Dharma foundations, and if you make one wrong step, you will never have a chance to go backwards.

"Therefore, below the three steps, except for casual cultivation, most of the disciples of the major sects have laid a solid foundation in the sect, and few have come out to experience in this realm.

"If you break through the three-step barrier, you are qualified to continue walking. Four steps, five steps, six steps, have reached the mountainside, and wherever they are placed, they are all dominant figures. For most people, in their lifetime, the limit is to be able to get here. The world is big, and with this realm, there are very few places that can't be visited.

"Talent, perseverance, and luck are all in one to have a chance to take the seventh step. This step out of the country is a different scenery. Enter, you can start a sect, retreat, and you can also get away with it.

"Eight steps, clouds breaking through the sea, just ordinary.

"As for the nine steps, there are only two hands that have come to this step in history. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is like a god. ”

Ye Lan put away her yearning expression and looked at Changning, who was demented: "Don't think about it so much, with your father and mother laying the foundation for you, plus the training of the sword mound, even if you are lazy, there will be no problem with five or six steps." It's just that if you want to go further, you can only look at yourself. ”

"Nine Steps...... Have you already reached the top?"

"I don't know. Nobody knows. How high the mountain is, no one has ever really reached the top. Nine-step gods, these high-ranking beings, with one look and one movement, can already interpret the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, but few have left a single word about this realm. ”

Touching Changning's head casually, Ye Lan turned into an ordinary brother next door again: "A group of stingy ghosts." Changning is good, don't think about these things that I don't have, I'm thirsty after saying so much, let's eat some pancakes and meat first. ”
