Chapter 95 Sword grinding stone, the fish is about to take the bait!
Although, by speculating on the intentions of the person behind Zhao Linglong, both Xu Taiping and Fairy Lingyue had already guessed that Lin Qingnu would most likely use the Zhi Ge Ling to reject Amen's sword quest.
But when they heard Lin Qingnu's refusal to ask for the sword, the faces of the two people still showed surprise.
Because Lin Qingnu's refusal to ask for the sword at this moment proved their previous suspicion - someone wanted to use Lin Qingnu's sword to sharpen the swordsmanship of Zhao Linglong and Amon.
Looking down at Lin Qingnu walking down the sword platform step by step, Fairy Lingyue murmured with sharp eyes.
"If this plan is really the work of Lin Buyu, then her identity may be far less simple than what we currently know."
Xu Taiping asked curiously
"Why?"
Fairy Lingyue explained
"Let's not talk about how she appeared in this Zhenwu Jiangui meeting. Let's just talk about the plan itself. It is more like the hands of those old monsters from outside the world."
"What these old ghosts plot is never a victory or defeat, but a battle of swordsmanship to guide the cause and effect of hundreds or even tens of thousands of years in this world, so that
This luck and cause and effect gave birth to the fruits they wanted."
"And they, like the man who planted the tree, waited quietly for the fruits to ripen, then plucked them and ate them."
Although he did not fully understand what Fairy Lingyue said, Xu Taiping still felt a shiver after hearing these words.
Because according to Fairy Lingyue, any monk in the upper realm, any opportunity or disaster, may be a plan of some old ghost outside the world.
Xu Taiping asked tentatively
"Sister Lingyue, have you ever experienced this?"
Fairy Lingyue hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "I gave up my physical body, fused with the earth fruit, and escaped to the Zhenwu Heaven earthly world after a narrow escape. It was indeed to cut off a piece of cause and effect and avoid being eaten by an old ghost as a Tao fruit."
Xu Taiping was shocked when he heard these words.
Fairy Lingyue
Then he added
"In fact, I originally planned to tell you these words after this sword master meeting."
"But in today's sword questioning, there are obvious signs of the interference of those old monsters. I can only inform you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared."
Xu Taiping nodded, then looked down at Jianping with a solemn expression and said
"In this case, wouldn't it be possible for us monks to become the pawns of those old ghosts you talk about, Sister Lingyue?"
Fairy Lingyue shook her head and said
"Interfering with other people's karma and destiny is not child's play. Even those old ghosts can only plant one tree or plant one seed in their lifetime."
"It's just like gamblers placing bets."
"Once the bet is out of your hand, you can't regret it."
"So they have to be very careful."
"And there are so many monks in the world. The one who can be chosen by them must be the top monk in this world."
"So at least for now, you won't be on their chessboard."
"but……"
When she said this, Fairy Lingyue suddenly paused, and then her eyes locked on Amen Dao below.
"But this Amon, it's hard to say."
Xu Taiping's heart sank when he heard this.
With Amon's talent and cultivation, there is a high probability that he will be chosen by those old ghosts mentioned by Fairy Lingyue.
Fairy Lingyue said again at this time
"Of course, these old ghosts who interfere in the cause and effect of monks in the lower realm are not necessarily just for their own selfish desires."
"There are also people who, for the sake of the survival of the human race in the Upper Pure Realm, give certain monks opportunities to cultivate monks who can resist the Nine Abyss."
exist
After hearing Fairy Lingyue's introduction, Xu Taiping became very curious about the old ghost he mentioned.
So he tried to ask Fairy Lingyue
"Sister Lingyue, what kind of existence are these old ghosts?"
After Fairy Lingyue hesitated for a moment, she finally said, "These old ghosts are all monks who are just one step away from ascending to heaven. We call them half-immortals."
"Right now, all you need to know is that these half-immortals are neither humans, nor demons, nor immortals. They have no emotions or desires. They will only act according to their Taoist hearts, and there is no reason for their actions."
"As for the rest, after the Sword Leader meets, I will find a place that can completely block their induction and inform you in detail."
After listening to Fairy Lingyue's story, Xu Taiping suddenly had a mysterious feeling that someone had pushed open a door full of unknowns.
He nodded first, then looked down at Jianping with a solemn expression and said
"According to Sister Lingyue, isn't this Zhenwu Jiangui meeting a place where these half-immortals choose their chess pieces?"
Fairy Lingyue shook her head and said
"Being a chess piece is sometimes not a bad thing."
When she said this, Fairy Lingyue paused for a moment, then looked at Xu Taiping solemnly and said
"Taiping, you must keep it in mind."
"When your cultivation reaches a certain level, you will inevitably become a chess piece."
"But it doesn't matter, because as long as you get rid of that chessboard, you can replace that chess player."
"By then, you will be the new half-immortal."
"Only by becoming a half-immortal can you have the qualifications to ascend to heaven."
At this moment, Xu Taiping could not imagine how much impact Fairy Lingyue's words would have on his future practice.
But there is one thing, he learned from the words of Fairy Lingyue
He could hear it in the words - "The former Fairy Lingyue is only one step away from replacing the half-immortal behind her."
While the two were talking, the interrupted sword-asking process on the sword flat below started again.
There was almost no suspense. Amon and Lin Qingnu dominated the sword competition and both entered the next round of the sword trial.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
However, just as Xu Taiping and Fairy Lingyue were about to go downstairs, there was a sudden knock on the door of the wing room.
At the same time, an extremely powerful aura surged through the door and poured into the side room like a tide.
Suddenly, Xu Taiping and Fairy Lingyue in the wing stood up with alert expressions on their faces.
Xu Tianping put on Chu Ping'an's face and asked outside the door.
"who?"
Soon, an old man's somewhat indifferent voice came from outside the door - "I, Qian Yi, from the Chunyang Sword Sect, have been entrusted by the Jiufu to invite fellow Taoist Chu Ping'an to come with me to visit Yunfeng in Jiufu Town."
Xu Taiping was shocked when he heard this.
Because this is Zhenyun Peak, the place where Jiufu specially detains Zhenwu Tianxin cultivators.
After Xu Taiping looked at Fairy Lingyue, he calmly asked outside the door.
"Senior wants to send me to Zhenyun Peak, so at least give me a reason, right?"
Qian Yi outside the door said impatiently
"Sanxiu Chu Ping'an, in order to seize the Star Gathering Plate, you colluded with Jiuyuan and killed Chu Qiuqiuya, the guardian elder of Wansei Peak. The evidence is conclusive."
When he said this, Qian Yi paused for a moment, then released an extremely huge wave of aura and murderous intent, and continued
"If you don't open the door and obey the law, I will kill you here right now."
Hearing this, Xu Taiping was first surprised, and then happy again. He only heard his message from Fairy Lingyue saying:
"Sister Lingyue, the fish is about to take the bait!"
