Chapter 736 The Weapon Spirit of the Wentian Sword
More than one of them imagined that Chen Zhou would come back to them handsomely riding on colorful auspicious clouds and tell them: "Brothers! I'm back! From now on, we will revive the Mingsheng Sect together!"
Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
When they saw Chen Xuan holding a crying Chen Zhou in his hands, they didn't want to believe it.
As soon as he saw Chen Zhou, Zhang Ping immediately put down what he was doing and ran forward to look at Chen Zhou.
"Zhou'er!"
He took Chen Zhou from Chen Zhou's hand who couldn't stand up, frowned and asked nervously: "What's wrong with you Zhou'er?
Why are you crying like this?"
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, third senior brother!"
As soon as he saw his relatives, Chen Zhou cried even harder.
He hugged Zhang Ping and cried bitterly: "Third Senior Brother, we... our mountain has been destroyed, and the Mingsheng Sect is finished..."
Hearing what Chen Zhou said, Zhang Ping immediately realized why Chen Zhou was crying.
Looking at the bare mountain, Zhang Ping smiled bitterly and said: "Zhou'er, everything on the mountain is gone, but we are still there. We must work together to revive the Mingsheng Sect!"
Chen Zhou sobbed and said sadly: "I know... Third Senior Brother, I know we have to work together to revive the Mingsheng Sect, but I just can't accept it for a while."
Also, no one else would be able to accept it. For a while, the place where he grew up was burned down to nothing. In fact, the disciples who were calmly cleaning up the poisonous insects in these places were all a little unbelievable.
The fire that Chen Xuan lit was so powerful that in just one night, all the flowers, plants and trees in the Mingsheng Sect were burned to the ground.
Even those buildings are all gone.
When the fire subsided and looked at the condition of the mountain, even Zhang Ping was actually a little confused.
He also wanted to cry like Chen Zhou.
After being burned into such a horrible state, you still do this...
But as the only one who can continue to lead them, Zhang Ping cannot cry.
After seeing Chen Zhou, he couldn't cry even more.
Zhang Ping hugged Chen Zhou and comforted him: "It's okay, everything will be fine."
When Chen Xuan saw Chen Zhou like this, he originally wanted to scold him, but thinking of his miserable experience, it was hard to scold him anymore.
She kicked him lightly and said, "Get up."
As soon as he heard Chen Xuan speak, Zhang Ping immediately pulled Chen Zhou up, then bowed to Chen Xuan and saluted: "I have met the ancestor."
"How is the cleanup of the Five Poisons on the mountain going?"
"Back to my ancestor, the fire was almost done. In the past few days, I led the disciples to clean up the mountain in a circular motion. Now basically the five poisons can no longer be found."
Chen Xuan nodded lightly, and then said: "We must leave no one behind, not even a single egg."
Zhang Ping lowered his head and said, "Ancestor, please rest assured."
After experiencing so many things, Zhang Ping naturally knew why the Gu Territory became like this, so when he inspected, he was very, very careful and inspected more than once.
Today is the fifth time I have patrolled again, and still not a single remnant of the Five Poisons has been seen.
Although Zhang Ping said so confidently that Chen Xuan was relieved, in fact Chen Xuan was still worried.
He used his spiritual power to sense every inch of the Poison-free Mountain, feeling whether there were any five poisons here.
The result is that there really is none at all.
In fact, in nature, the five poisons are not all bad. In the ecological cycle, the five poisons still have some work.
But Chen Xuan just doesn't like the Five Poisons, and even the slightest remnant of Wudu Mountain is not allowed.
After Chen Xuan completed the sensory detection, he looked at Zhang Ping with satisfaction.
At this time, Chen Zhou was still sobbing and murmuring: "What should I do? What should I do?"
Chen Xuan has a very strong character, so he is always very strict with those descendants who cry easily. Seeing others cry in front of him, Chen Xuan feels annoyed to death.
After lightly kicking Chen Zhou, Chen Xuan scolded: "What a big deal! Cry, cry, cry! Why are you crying!"
After being scolded, Chen Zhou stopped sobbing and gave Chen Xuan a pitiful look.
Chen Xuan looked at Chen Zhou and pretended to hit him, but Chen Zhou quickly closed his eyes.
Of course, Chen Xuan would not hit him now. Seeing Chen Zhou closing his eyes and hiding behind Zhang Ping, Chen Xuan sighed and opened the system's backpack in his mind.
Chen Xuan actually had no chance to use the set of things that were used here hundreds of thousands of years ago, because not all places are like this, which Chen Xuan really couldn't stand.
Sometimes, even if Chen Xuan builds a new sect, he will build it according to the rules and will not use these things at all.
Chen Xuan never expected that the same thing would happen twice in the same place. Fortunately, Chen Xuan had a lot of things like that, otherwise there would really be nothing he could do.
After opening his backpack, he found the Green Mountains and Green Waters suit. Chen Xuan chose a suitable one and clicked to use it.
Then within a short period of time, the surrounding scene began to change.
Chen Zhou, Zhang Ping and others were dumbfounded. They watched as flowers, plants and trees slowly appeared around them, as well as the towering building not far away.
Not one of them was rubbing their eyes, and some even started to slap themselves in the face.
There were endless sounds of surprise in the crowd. Chen Xuan dug his ears, avoided a tree growing from the ground under his feet, and then sat on a green stone next to him.
"Old... Ancestor! What's going on?
!”
Chen Zhou asked Chen Xuan excitedly.
Chen Xuan shook his sleeves, then casually moved to the side to support his body. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "It's as you can see with your naked eyes."
"My dear..."
“Some people say that hearing is false and seeing is believing, but how come I still can’t believe what I saw with my own eyes?
!”
"Is this something that can actually happen?"
——
Surprised words reached Chen Xuan's ears one by one. He smiled lightly and said: "The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. Things that you can't believe are indeed very trivial things here."
After saying this, Chen Xuan looked at Chen Zhou and said, "Just think of this as a gift from me."
Chen Zhou looked at Chen Xuan in disbelief, "But ancestor, didn't you already give me the Wentian Sword?"
"Asking Heaven Sword?"
Zhang Ping was confused when he heard Chen Zhou's words.
Chen Zhou looked at Zhang Ping after hearing this and explained: "Yes, senior brother, before I asked to kill Liu Feng, my ancestor gave me a sword named Wentian."
As he spoke, Chen Zhou transformed the Wentian Sword. With just one glance, Zhang Ping could tell that this sword was extraordinary.
Moreover... Zhang Ping still knows and recognizes this sword.
This is the seventeenth-ranked weapon in the veteran weapon list. It is a sword forged by Empress Nuwa on the Kunlun Mountains using black iron from the Kunlun Mountains.
It is said to be a veteran weapon chart because in today's world, there are new weapon charts and weapon rankings.
The reason is that among the old weapon charts and weapon rankings, almost the top fifty weapons have completely disappeared from this world.
Without battle, there is no ranking list. These weapons have never been found, so a new ranking list was formed later.
But people who are familiar with weapons or have some understanding of weapons know in their hearts that no matter how powerful a new weapon is, it will never be as powerful as an old one.
Zhang Ping usually likes to study weapons, and his sword was forged by Chen Yihao and he also processed it himself.
The moment he saw Chen Zhou's transformed Wentian Sword, Zhang Ping could tell at a glance that it was the real Wentian Sword.
He was shocked in his heart and looked at Chen Xuan in shock.
"Ancestor..."
Chen Xuan naturally knew what he was thinking. He nodded lightly and said, "It's just a small weapon that's not surprising. There's no need to make such a fuss about it."
An amazing little weapon...
Zhang Ping was speechless and didn't know what to say to Chen Xuan. He looked at the weapon in Chen Zhou's hand and could only salute Chen Xuan with a cupped fist: "Thank you, ancestor."
Chen Xuan waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite, and then Chen Zhou asked Chen Xuan: "Ancestor, why do you still give me gifts?"
"If I don't give you another gift, how long will you plan to rebuild the Mingsheng Sect?"
Chen Xuan chuckled and replied. After hearing this, Chen Zhou lowered his head in embarrassment.
But this is just one of the reasons. Chen Xuan's gift is actually a funeral gift, given to Chen Yihao.
At any rate, Chen Yihao did his best when he served him back then. Wudu Mountain has now recovered, and there is nothing wrong with giving him a new environment.
And this kind of thing is nothing to Chen Xuan.
After saying that, Chen Xuan waved his hand towards the mountain and said: "Okay, the environment and buildings in this mountain are different from the previous ones. You should go and get familiar with it first. We will revive the Mingsheng Sect in the future.
Let’s take a break for the time being and gather up enough strength to work harder.”
After Chen Xuan finished speaking, the disciples dispersed in a hurry. They scrambled and started running around in the mountain, constantly poking at the trees on the mountain to see if this was true.
Originally, Chen Zhou wanted to go with the disciples to see it, but Chen Xuan stopped him.
"Chen Zhou."
Chen Zhou just ran two steps and was called, then turned around, looked at Chen Xuan and asked with a smile: "What's wrong, ancestor?
Do you want to come with me?"
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "I'll go to hell with you.
I want to tell you about Wentian Sword."
Chen Zhou was still young and quite playful. When he just heard Chen Xuan say that he wanted to take a look inside the mountain, he rushed out without thinking too much. However, Zhang Ping, as a slightly older man,
Senior brother, I will not leave Chen Xuan here alone.
Even though he was very curious about this environment, Zhang Ping had to endure it first and wait until Chen Xuan left or moved before he could move.
Everyone moved just now, but Zhang Ping just turned his head and stood next to Chen Xuan.
When he heard Chen Xuan calling out to Chen Zhou and wanting to talk to Chen Zhou about the Wentian Sword, Zhang Ping cupped his fists and faced Chen Xuan and said, "Ancestor, Zhang Ping will step aside for now."
Originally, Chen Xuan didn't want to pay attention to Zhang Ping, but after thinking about it, he stopped him and said, "It's okay, it's just some instructions, no need to deliberately avoid them."
Hearing this, Zhang Ping clasped his fists and looked at Chen Xuan, saying, "Thank you, ancestor, for your trust."
Chen Xuan smiled lightly and said nothing, but seeing all this in Chen Zhou's eyes, he naturally knew what it meant.
After taking two steps forward, Chen Zhou came to Chen Xuan, looked at Chen Xuan and asked: "What's wrong, ancestor?
What do you want to tell me?"
"Do you still remember what I told you in the realm of narrow escape?"
"That paragraph about the weapon spirit?"
Chen Xuan nodded, "Yes.
Do you understand, what exactly is a weapon spirit?"
Originally, in the past ten years, Liu Feng had not given Chen Zhou any opportunity to learn about cultivation or study. Although he heard what Chen Xuan said, he and Wentianjian had resonance, but what about the spirit of the weapon?
Yes, Chen Zhou really didn’t understand.
After thinking for a while, Chen Zhou shook his head. Chen Xuan looked at Zhang Ping again and asked with a smile: "I just saw the way you looked at Wentian Sword. You must have some knowledge about weapons, right?"
When Zhang Ping heard Chen Xuan's question, his eyes flashed brightly.
He looked at Chen Xuan and said excitedly: "Yes, ancestor, I have been fond of weapons since I was a child. When I was young, I only used a wooden stick to symbolize weapons when I had no conditions. Later, when I was adopted by my master, I had the opportunity.
Study it whenever you have time.
Although the world is so vast and it is impossible for me to fully understand all the weapons, Zhang Ping boasts that he has read through all the existing documents."
After hearing Zhang Ping's words, Chen Xuan nodded, and then said: "Explain the meaning of weapon spirit to Chen Zhou."
Hearing this, Zhang Ping nodded and said yes, then looked at Chen Zhou and said slowly.
"There are many kinds of weapons in this world, no matter big or small, good or bad, they all have "weapon spirit".
There are three forms of weapon spirits. The first one is unborn, but exists. Weapons with this kind of weapon spirit are the most common.
The second type is one with spiritual consciousness, which can understand the owner's words and respond. Weapons with this kind of weapon spirit will have different blessings on the weapon itself according to the strength of the weapon spirit.
The third type of weapon spirit can transform into a human being.
This kind of weapon spirit is very rare, and there are only a handful of them in the world.
But if this third kind of weapon spirit wants to transform into a human being, it must find the owner it recognizes."
In fact, Chen Xuan did not tell Chen Zhou about the previous explanation, but simply told Chen Zhou that there was this resonance between Chen Zhou and Wentian Sword.
Now that he heard Zhang Ping's explanation, Chen Zhou suddenly understood.
Then he thought for a while, suddenly looked up at Chen Xuan, and said in surprise: "Old... Ancestor, you said before that Wentian Sword resonates with me?"
Chen Xuan nodded lightly and said, "Yes, I stopped you just to tell you this."
After hearing Chen Xuan's words, Zhang Ping was also shocked.
From the records about weapons he had read, there were only a handful of weapons that could transform into humans... No, there were not more than three.
But...but now Chen Xuan said that Wentianjian resonates with Chen Zhou?
!
If there is resonance, it means that Wentian Sword is very likely to transform into a person during Chen Zhou's practice?
!
Zhang Ping looked at Chen Zhou in shock and was speechless for a long time.
"I think you should have felt it yourself when you held the Wentian Sword.
The moment the Wentian Sword is held by you, it changes into its original form.
Weapons from ancient times, after being covered up for a long time, will turn into an ordinary sword. Only after meeting a master who can resonate with it, will it reveal its original form.
"
After what Chen Xuan said, Chen Zhou carefully recalled his feelings at the moment when he held the Wentian Sword.
At that moment, he was really only immersed in the beauty of the sword, and he didn't even realize that the sword had undergone such a change.
And at that moment, Chen Zhou felt something. He felt that at that moment, he was holding hands tightly with a soul.
Chen Zhou took out the Wentian Sword again, and then looked at the very beautiful sword in front of him, examining it carefully.
"Ancestor, how can this sword be transformed into a human being?"
Chen Zhou stroked the blade of the sword, and a blue light glowed where Chen Zhou had stroked it.
Chen Xuan looked at the changes on Wentianjian's body, and then said: "I'm actually not sure about this, because no one can really figure out the thoughts of the weapon spirit.
If the weapon spirit is in a good mood, it may be able to transform into a human being now, but if it is in a bad mood, it will not transform into a human being."
"ah?"
Chen Zhou put away the sword, and then looked at Chen Xuan doubtfully, "Ancestor, maybe this sword can't transform into a human being?"
Chen Xuan smiled lightly, and then said: "Look at you, if you say you may not be able to do it, you will put the sword away.
This is what I want to explain to you when I stop you.
Weapons will only look for one master in their lifetime. Once they identify this master, they will not change it again.
But the weapon spirit has chosen you, so you have to work hard."
"How hard should I try, ancestor?"
Chen Xuan looked at Chen Zhou and asked, "Do you know what is the most important thing between a person and his weapons?"
If he were an ordinary person, he might be able to answer it, but Chen Zhou had no knowledge at all and had not read any books. He could only work, so naturally he could not answer Chen Xuan's words.
Chen Zhou looked at Chen Xuan and scratched his head. Chen Xuan rolled his eyes speechlessly, then pointed at Chen Zhou and said to Zhang Ping: "Come and explain to him."
Zhang Ping immediately nodded in agreement, then looked at Chen Zhou and explained: "The most important thing between a person and his weapon is tacit understanding.
The most important factor for the weapon spirit to transform into a human being is also the same, it all requires tacit understanding."
"tacit agreement……"
Chen Zhou murmured in a low voice, and then heard Zhang Ping continue: "Only when the tacit understanding with the weapon reaches a certain level, and the weapon completely trusts its master, will it show its strongest form for the master."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Ping looked at Chen Zhou, patted his shoulder and said, "Zhou'er, you have suffered a lot over the years. Perhaps this sword is a new and beautiful beginning for your future."
After listening to the explanation, Chen Zhou looked at Zhang Ping, nodded heavily, and then asked, "How can we improve our tacit understanding with it?"
"There is not a very specific method for this..."
Although Zhang Ping reads many weapons books on weekdays, there is no way to improve his tacit understanding with weapons in these books.
"It's not that there's no way to do this. It's just that you need to practice it carefully."
When Zhang Ping was halfway speaking, Chen Xuan interrupted him.
The two looked back at Chen Xuan, only to see Chen Xuan supporting his head with his hands, half lying on the bluestone, looking like an immortal.
"What is tacit understanding?
Even if it is not said in words, the other party can perceive it mentally.
The way to improve the tacit understanding is to spend more time with the sword body and practice more with the sword. In the process, you will get to know each other and the level of tacit understanding will be improved."
After finishing speaking, Chen Xuan raised his chin towards Chen Zhou and asked, "Do you understand?"
Chen Zhou did not answer Chen Xuan's words immediately, but thought about it in his mind for a while, then looked at Chen Xuan with a sudden realization, nodded heavily and said: "I understand, ancestor!"
Seeing Chen Zhou nodding, Chen Xuan smiled with satisfaction, then jumped down from the bluestone. He caressed his sleeves casually and walked forward two steps: "Okay, I will tell you what I should tell you.
Going back."
"Ancestor, please stay here for a while."
As soon as Zhang Ping heard that Chen Xuan was leaving, he asked to stay with Chen Xuan.
Chen Zhou on the side also started to chat: "Yes, ancestor, please stay here for a while."
Chen Xuan waved his hand and said: "No, the Mingsheng Sect has just been revitalized, and there are many things to deal with. You are too busy to greet me, and I still have my own things to do after I go back."
"Ancestor..." Chen Zhou looked at Chen Xuan reluctantly.
Chen Xuan patted Chen Zhou on the shoulder, and then said: "It's okay, everything will get better slowly from now on.
Oh, by the way, you must not fall behind in your cultivation. From now on, the Mingsheng Sect will rely on you to carry it up."
"Ancestor, it would be nice to have a meal here."
Zhang Ping continued to hold on.
Chen Xuan waved his hands and said: "No, no, you go and do your work quickly."
"Ancestor, you won't never come back once you leave, right?"
When he said this sentence, Chen Zhou's eyes were filled with tears.
To this day, Chen Zhou still vaguely remembers that when he was young, Chen Yihao often told Chen Zhou that their ancestor had left and never came back.
But no matter how long Chen Xuan has been away, Chen Yihao firmly believes that Chen Xuan will come back one day.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhou was also worried that Chen Xuan would leave him just like he left his father before. A separation of hundreds of thousands of years would be too painful.
After seeing what Chen Zhou and the others were thinking, Chen Xuan comforted him: "Don't be sentimental, I won't be separated for hundreds of thousands of years like last time.
Moreover, the Mingsheng Sect has just been rebuilt, and I will come back soon to see how well you have rebuilt the Mingsheng Sect."
After saying that, Chen Xuan stretched out his hand to stop Chen Zhou and Zhang Ping who were about to continue talking, and said: "Okay, don't stay any longer, I really want to leave. I haven't had a good rest these days because of this incident.
"
As Chen Xuan said this, Chen Zhou and Zhang Ping could no longer keep Chen Xuan here. Chen Xuan waved his hands to them and then disappeared from their eyes.
Seeing that the place where Chen Xuan left was full of life, Chen Zhou and Zhang Ping looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
