Chapter 178: A Gentleman in a Soldier

Time is long, the green mountains are still the same, how many degrees of sunset is red?

A few years of time, for those who practice, are just a blink of an eye.

Xiaoqing felt that time passed quickly, when she came here from Xizi Lake, with the cultivation of her second brother and Sister Bai, it had been four or five years in a flash.

In four or five years, Xiaoqing's cultivation path has also embarked on a more systematic path with the help of Erqing, and his own cultivation has also grown a lot with the help of Erqing.

It's just that the relationship with the little fox is like that, and it can't be better.

But everyone also knows that she is just a knife mouth, a tofu heart, and an unforgiving mouth.

For some people, four or five years is quite a long time, such as the disciples of the Sword Pavilion.

It has been seven or eight years since the Sword Pavilion experienced that incident, and the buildings on several peaks have long been restored, but it no longer has the same vigor and sharpness as it did at the beginning.

Although the younger generation of the Sword Pavilion has also grown up, that arrogance has been dispersed.

Over the years, the Sword Pavilion has sealed the mountain, and it has also sealed the sword blade in their hands.

Many people are anxious, but they are helpless.

And some people have already died and have to get by.

As the current master of the Sword Pavilion, Qin Xuanyue remained silent and devoted himself to cultivation.

At this time, he sat cross-legged in the Tibetan Pavilion of the Sword Pavilion and discussed the sword with Erqing.

In the past, Erqing, even if his cultivation was much higher than Qin Xuanyue, if he talked about swordsmanship, it was difficult to reach the other party. But now, Erqing is qualified to sit with him.

Everyone has a different view of the same thing. Therefore, even if both of them read through the "Taiqing Sword Codex", their opinions on this sword code are also different.

Erqing took the sword and put it across his knee, "The sword, with blades on both sides, can hurt the enemy and hurt himself." It is the sword of the self, and it is the mean. The sword is a gentleman in the army, the way of a gentleman, and it is reasonable to take the mean. ”

Qin Xuanyue looked at Er Qing, and also took out his sword, placed it horizontally on his knees, and said: "Sword, the king of soldiers, take it from Zhizhong, which is in line with the style of the Sword Pavilion at the beginning." At that time, my sword, or the sword of all the disciples of the Sword Pavilion, was invincible, and I was invincible. ”

After the initial entanglement, rejection, resistance, but having to compromise, and then to today's habits, seeing it, or thinking a lot, Qin Xuanyue's temperament has become more neutral and peaceful.

Erqing asked, "What about now, is your sword still sharp?"

Qin Xuanyue said expressionlessly: "Now my sword is still the same, and it is still straight to the middle." It's just that this 'straight' is no longer the 'straight' that doesn't care about black and white. ”

Er Qing smiled, put away his sword and got up, turned to the bookshelf, took down a codex from the shelf, flipped through it, and said: "After several years of recuperation in the Sword Pavilion, everyone has calmed down a lot. After a pause, he added, "Have you ever thought about accepting apprentices?"

Qin Xuanyue was caressing his sword, and when he heard this, his fingers paused slightly, and he looked at Er Qing, as if he was a little puzzled, "Didn't you want the Sword Pavilion to seal the mountain for a hundred years?"

"Closed the mountain for a hundred years, just let the disciples of your Sword Pavilion not go out and toss around, so as not to provoke the big demons and trolls that should not be provoked, and then it will be me who will be in trouble. ”

Er Qing said it very lightly, which made Qin Xuanyue panic in his heart.

It seemed that he didn't see Qin Xuanyue's depression, and Er Qing said again: "As for accepting apprentices and passing on the inheritance of your Sword Pavilion, I naturally won't stop it." Otherwise, you will have to wait for a hundred years, and it is estimated that there are not many disciples left in your generation. ”

Hearing Er Qing's words, Qin Xuanyue was a little confused.

After being silent for a long time, he said, "Green Snake, I really can't understand you!"

"Tsk, it's really rude, who called me senior in front of all the Sword Pavilion disciples?"

Qin Xuanyue was scolded by Erqing, so he stopped speaking and was silent.

Erqing didn't care, and said with a smile: "Don't you think it's strange, I'm obviously a monster, what I do and think, I should stand in the perspective of a monster, it's reasonable?"

Qin Xuanyue looked at him, still silent.

Erqing looked at the codex and said, "Actually, you are all wrong, in my eyes, demons are the same as humans, not much different." My position is neither human nor demonic, nor other anomalous. When I kill people, I only see if that person does evil, and when I kill demons, I only see if that demon is a disaster. I just uphold the good in my heart and weigh what I feel is good and evil. Perhaps, the scale of what I measure is different from that of others! This is not surprising, everyone has their own view of right and wrong, good and evil. Maybe I feel evil, but others don't, but so what?"

When Qin Xuanyue heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "In this way, isn't it also selfish?"

Erqing smiled and didn't refute.

After a long time, Qin Xuanyue said: "The disciples of the Sword Pavilion are all human beings, and in the inherent thinking of human beings, demons and monsters are all evil and will cause disaster. You ask my Sword Pavilion disciples to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, isn't it difficult for a strong man? Don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, I think you understand!"

Hearing this, Erqing said with a smile: "Then, the problem is back to the original place. You Sword Pavilion slashed demons and eliminated demons, and you never asked the reason, all because those were demons and monsters. Then, when the demons and monsters unite to kill you Sword Pavilion, why do you put on a victim face, crying and shouting, begging the ancestor for protection?

Qin Xuanyue was silent for a long time before he sighed: "Green Snake, if you want to change this status quo, it's very difficult!"

Er Qing sighed when he heard this, "I also know it's difficult. So, I'm just trying to change what I think I can change. Don't take evil as small, don't take good as small!"

When Qin Xuanyue heard this, he didn't say anything anymore, just gently wiped the magic sword in his hand and was silent.

Erqing looked at the codex, and sighed at the end: "The person who wrote this codex, Lian Chengdao, is your Lian Shibo! I can't see it, he is also a genius, and he can actually think of using this way to integrate and superimpose the mana of several people to improve the power of sword moves!"

Qin Xuanyue glanced up at him and said, "This Lian Cheng Dao Master is my senior uncle and ancestor, and my Lian Senior Uncle is his clan nephew. According to Uncle Lian, when he came up with this method, he realized it from the sword formation. In order to complete this trick, he didn't even have time to accept his apprentices, but he just introduced Uncle Lian into the cabinet, and his senior brother, that is, the upper and upper cabinet masters, accepted him as apprentices. ”

Erqing smiled bitterly: "I killed your uncle Lian for revenge, but now I am here to learn what his uncle created, I am a little ashamed to say it!"

"Uncle Lian has a gentle temperament, and even if you know about it, you won't make fun of you. ”

Erqing said: "Even if he makes fun of me, I won't see it!"

Qin Xuanyue: "......"

After carefully reading the codex, Erqing turned around and left.
