Chapter 9: The Root of the Sword Hall
Qiu Xin is the next generation disciple of Ling Lao, and he is looking for Ling Lao for anything, and the other eight are all worshipping Yin Lingzi as a teacher, it stands to reason that not long after entering the Sword Hall, Yin Lingzi should be guided every day, so that there will be progress.
But it has been more than a month since he came to the Hanging Cliff Peak, but he has never seen the shadow of Yin Lingzi, and what puzzles him is that these senior brothers of the Sword Hall are also difficult to find, does the sect master not care about them?
In short, when Yin Lingzi came to the Sword Hall, all the disciples also appeared as promised, and Qiu Xin was also among them, and after bowing to Yin Lingzi, he heard him say, "Last time, you passed your three-foot sword, and now all of you have come to perform it again?"
Hearing this, Qiu Xin was stunned, the Hidden Sect Sword Hall is naturally famous for its swordsmanship, but the world only knows the Divine Sword Technique, and the Hidden Sect clearly ordered disciples not to practice the Divine Sword Technique, so what is the sword technique that the Hidden Sect Sword Hall can gain a foothold, is it the Hidden Lingzi taught everyone the three-foot sword?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Qiu Xin looked at the sword moves demonstrated by several other people. In order of age, Zeng Fan was the brunt of the song, and the three-foot sword was single but impermanent in his hand, seemingly spontaneous, but it was dripping with sword energy, just as Yang Jin did when he was competing with himself.
Yin Lingzi also nodded, and when he stopped, another disciple followed another disciple, and the swordsmanship in his hands was much the same, they were all three-foot swords, but Yang Jin and Zeng Fan had the smoothest swordsmanship.
Although Long Hanyun and Zong Rui's swordsmanship is not as good as the two of them, they are magnificent and should not be underestimated, and the other four are commonplace, and they have to practice diligently by the hidden spirit son.
After the demonstration of the eight people, Yin Lingzi did not ask Qiu Xin to demonstrate it as well, but instead motioned for Li Ling'er to step forward and spoke again, "Li Ling'er is the daughter of Li Mingxuan, the head of the Canglan faction, because she made a big mistake, she came to hang the wall peak and face the wall for five years. ”
Li Ling'er immediately bowed and saluted, "I've seen all the senior brothers and sisters." When her gaze swept over Qiu Xin, she was obviously very surprised, but she didn't say anything, and stood behind Yin Lingzi again.
At this time, Yin Lingzi said again, "Three-foot sword, one foot for people, two feet for the heart, three feet for the mind, the human sword is one foot together, the sword heart is exquisite, and the return to the truth is regarded as three feet, you must understand it well, don't let down this swordsmanship." ”
Several people nodded yes, but Zong Rui stepped forward, "Master, why is this sword technique very similar to the sword marks on the Hanging Wall Peak?" Hearing this, several other people's faces also changed slightly, and it seemed that they also wanted to know this question, Qiu Xin also found this problem in the process of sword practice, and listened quietly.
Yin Lingzi glanced back at the towering Hanging Cliff Peak and said, "The ancestors of the Sword Hall opened a sect here, in order to integrate all the sword marks on the Hanging Cliff Peak, and then passed down this three-foot sword.
Moreover, this hanging cliff peak is not a simple peak, but a sword mound, as long as you can reach the peak, you can go down to get a sword. ”
Several people also looked up at the hanging cliff peak at this time, the fundamental reason why the Hidden Sect Sword Hall can be famous all over the world is that the disciples of the Sword Hall have outstanding swordsmanship, and there is also this place of the sword mound.
Everyone understands the importance of having a weapon in hand, and they are eager to try it at this time, and first put aside the matter of the virtual image of the dragon and tiger, this alone can make people's blood boil, and they can't wait to climb to the top of the hanging wall.
However, at this time, Yin Lingzi was still here, and several people also suppressed this impulse, only to hear him continue to say, "If you have any questions during the sword practice, you can go to Xiao Yuanfeng to find me." ”
"Yes. Seeing this, Yin Lingzi also nodded, the swordsmanship of Zong Rui and several people was still above his expectations, according to this situation, it would not be long before there would be a few more disciples of the sword in the sword hall.
Seeing that the few people didn't speak again, Yin Lingzi turned around and returned to the front yard of the Sword Hall.
A few people in the backyard relaxed, and among the eight disciples, Qiu Xin saw the least Liu Buqin, Hu Can, and Wang Zhi, but it seemed that the three of them formed a small group of their own and left the bamboo forest first.
Yang Jin smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zong, Senior Brother Yin, the three of us will also give it a try, if we can climb to the top, we can choose a sword first." ”
Zhang Jibi, the black-faced man, said in a rough voice when he heard this, "Senior Brother Yang, take me with you." Last time, he also expressed disdain for Yang Jin's blackmailing of Qiu Xin, but at this time, he joined voluntarily, and Zong Rui had no opinion, so he nodded.
One more person is one more way, to be able to go up to the peak, so a few people will be together, but Zeng Fanyi and Long Hanyun have no interest in joining, and they each returned to the bamboo house.
Just as Qiu Xin was about to walk out of the open space and pass by Li Ling'er, he was stopped, "Young Master Qiu, it's my first time coming to this place, can you take me to find a place to live?"
"Senior Brother Yin, do you know this girl?" Yang Jin curled the corners of his mouth, put his arm on Zhang Ji's shoulder, and looked at Qiu Xin uninhibitedly, making Li Ling'er a little embarrassed at this time and lowered her head.
And Qiu Xin was also a little helpless by Li Ling'er's move, at this time, Li Ling'er and Canghai Lanhu were like two people, which made him a little suspicious whether it was the high-flying and domineering woman.
So he said, "I've only met Miss Li once, so I don't know her." Although Qiu Xin had a grudge against Li Ling'er for killing Shan Sanniang in disguise, it was not easy to have a seizure at this time, so she could only reply like this.
Yang Jin and Zhang Jibi looked at each other and smiled when they heard this, "Yo, we have met again, how did we hear that Senior Brother Yin still knows the two junior sisters surnamed Ling in Xiuxin Hall, and their luck is much better than that of Senior Brother." ”
Qiu Xin's face turned red, so she could only divert the topic and said, "The three senior brothers will go to the hillside first, and I will arrive later." After driving the three away, Qiu Xin said to Li Ling'er.
"Miss Li, you and I still draw a good line, whether you have the intention to kill Sanniang or not, but human life is at stake, but it is not so forgivable. Li Ling'er lowered her head and sighed, but did not continue.
Qiu Xin frowned, it was really difficult to deal with, with Li Ling'er being able to ask for barbecue meat in front of Dao Basan on the island, and she also looked like she had been wronged, she would definitely not give up because of her words, she still stood in front of herself, with her head down.
Qiu Xin could only say helplessly, "Okay, except for these five bamboo houses, you can live in other places, anyway, there are only so many people in the Sword Hall." ”
Only then did Li Ling'er raise her head and say, "I'll live next to my senior brother." This sentence frightened Qiu Xin, how could he let Li Ling'er live by his side, wouldn't he never be able to get rid of it, just about to say no, Li Ling'er lowered her head again.
Seeing this, Qiu Xin raised his hand and put it down again, rubbed his furrowed brows, and his tone was a little impatient, "Okay, it's in the room on the left hand side of the front yard." ”
After speaking, Qiu Xin walked out of the bamboo forest and went to the hillside, where the main peak can be seen directly, and it is also one of the few places that is not surrounded by trees.
Looking from a distance, Zong Rui and a few people stood at the foot of the hanging cliff peak, looking up, Qiu Xin walked quickly to him, Yang Jin's face was gloomy, and said, "You're the only one left, we have already tried, of course, no one can go up halfway." ”
As he spoke, he also smiled bitterly, which was also expected by Qiu Xin, no one had been able to reach the peak before, and it was naturally impossible today.
Qiu Xin stood in front of the peak, feeling that the entire hanging wall peak seemed to be pressed straight down towards him, and the flat wall seemed to be finely carved and polished, very smooth.
Taking a deep breath, the three-color true qi swayed, but under his feet was Lingxiao nine steps, rushing towards the peak at an extremely fast speed, and there was nowhere to borrow strength on the stone wall.
Seeing that the speed was getting slower and slower, and finally stopped in mid-air, but the peak was still far away, and then the body slid downward, Qiu Xin suddenly pulled out the long sword in his hand, and the three-color true qi was swirling, sliding towards the mountain, only to see the sparks splashing on it, but he couldn't pierce it, Qiu Xin was very true, but only left a faint trace on the mountain.
Although the downward trend has slowed down slightly, it is impossible to use this to take advantage of the upward trend, and the look in Qiu Xin's eyes suddenly brightened.
I don't know why the mountain is so hard, even if you use your true qi to resist the sword, it is difficult to get down, but the sword marks on the mountain are clearly visible, several inches deep, if you use the sword to follow the direction of these sword marks, you will definitely be able to borrow strength.
Thinking like this, the sword in his hand had moved to the nearest sword mark, and then, the long sword drove Qiu Xin's body to swing backwards, and Qiu Xin then injected true qi into the long sword, and Qiu Xin's body also stopped because of this.
This made him happy in his heart, it was indeed feasible, but just when he wanted to borrow his strength to go up, he had already reached the end of the sword marks, and the long sword had already cut out the sword marks, and appeared on the smooth stone wall again, and Qiu Xin's body slid down again.
Many times in a row, Qiu Xin struggled in this situation, although the sword mark can make itself stop in the air, but if he wants to use his strength to go up, it is always in the last part of the sword mark.
In the end, Qiu Xin could only fall back to the ground, and there was not much true qi left in his body, and the people waiting on the ground also knew that Qiu Xin had not succeeded, so they sighed and turned back.
Qiu Xin thought and thought about the hanging cliff peak at the foot of the mountain, touching the sword marks in front of him, unless he used his light skills and the thickness of his internal strength, he borrowed his strength to go up when he did not fall, and reached the peak at one time, otherwise there was no rear force in the air, and it could only be a way of failure.
But I can't do these two things, although I learned the first step of Lingxiao's nine steps, but after my own inquiry, several people who joined the Sword Hall, without exception, all learned Lingxiao's nine steps, and Zong Rui and Zeng Fanyi also comprehended the second step of Linshui, but they were unsuccessful.
In this way, there are other ways to find a way, but I think about it, if it is very easy to go to the peak and get the sword, what is the point.
Qiu Xin didn't try anymore, but went around the hillside to the other side of the back mountain, which was where his mother's grave was located.
Since he became a disciple of the Sword Hall, he has to come here every day to see, although he didn't speak, but it was enough.
When he walked into the woods, there was a man standing in front of his mother's tombstone with his hands in his hands, it was the Hidden Spirit, whose eyes seemed to penetrate the whole forest, and he seemed to have nothing else to see, standing in front of the tomb for a long time.
Qiu Xin was stunned for a while, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
