After opening their eyes, the figure of the man in blue disappeared from the disciples' eyes. Instead, what appeared in front of them was the shadow of a sky-holding sword.
The dark shadow of the long sword hung in the air, and a huge sense of oppression radiated from the sword, causing many disciples to shake violently, and even the timid ones took a few steps back and hugged others.
"This...this is..."
At this time, Gao Can was already stunned on the spot. His mouth was as big as he could swallow three steamed buns. His eyes were filled with shock and fear. He stretched out his hand tremblingly and pointed at the sword shadow, unable to speak.
Come.
Beside him, the girl Feng Ling who was almost hit by the sword just now was also stunned on the spot, covering her mouth with her hand and her pupils shrunk.
"This is……"
The surging sword wind washed over people's faces, and the ten thousand-foot-high sword light reflected in the hearts of countless people, leaving a deep shadow in their minds.
The moment they saw this giant sword, people quietly had an idea in their hearts. If this sword was struck, the mountain would be cut off in the middle!
People held their breaths and concentrated, not daring to take a breath, as they watched the giant sword fall from the sky and slash towards the tiny bamboo forest in front of them.
"Whoa!"
The seemingly heavy giant sword did not hit the ground like a giant hammer. Instead, it cut across the bamboo forest at a very precise angle along the ground, cutting off all the dense bamboo forest.
Such a powerful and huge sword blade did not even touch the ground when it was slashed!
Look at the bamboo joints scattered on the ground. The cut surfaces are smooth and flat, as if they were the result of careful carving by the villagers in the village down the mountain!
"Click."
The shadow of the sword slowly disappeared and merged with the morning mist between heaven and earth. When everyone came back to their senses, they saw that the young man in blue was still standing there, not moving at all, and the black sword had returned to its scabbard at some point.
Among them, it is extremely chic.
Seeing this scene, many male disciples in the crowd suddenly became excited. In their minds, it seemed that the man fit their image of a sword cultivator; and there were also several female disciples who had a quiet look on their faces.
She blushed a little, her eyes moved, and her heart was full of favor for that man.
"Although you acted recklessly, at least one thing you said is right." At this time, people saw the man in blue robe turning to face them and said calmly: "If you want to practice the integration of human swords, you don't need to use the basic twelve sword styles.
Mastery is not enough.”
"But apart from that, you all need to think clearly about one thing, and that is your sword heart."
"Kenshin?"
Everyone was slightly startled, feeling very unfamiliar with these two words.
"Sword cultivators, only when they know why they swing each sword, who they kill for, and know the meaning of drawing, holding and swinging the sword, can they have a sword heart and understand the unity of man and sword.
meaning.”
"Man and sword are one, man is the sword, and the sword is the man. What should be taught to you is the spirit of the sword. You must know that the sword in your hand represents who you are at all times, not just a weapon.
Simple."
Su Xing raised his eyes and glanced at the faces of each junior brother and sister one by one, and saw in their immature and confused expressions the shadow of when he first entered the profession.
He left Neishan today and flew to Yuyang Taoist Temple. On the way, he suddenly had a whim and wanted to see Xiaozhu Peak first, but he unexpectedly saw this scene on the peak.
After listening to Su Xing's words, the scene fell into silence for a while. Several disciples in the crowd immediately showed thoughtful expressions and fell into deep thinking.
Even the disciple Gao Can, who had just been full of ridicule and whose face was getting colder, showed a look of enlightenment after hearing these words. He stood there frowning and thinking, as if he had grasped something indescribable.
After a few breaths, Gao Can suddenly came back to his senses and bowed deeply to Su Xing with an excited expression. This action shocked all the junior brothers and sisters at the side.
"This fellow Taoist, Gao Can was confused for a moment and dared to embarrass fellow Taoist. I'm really sorry!"
"It doesn't matter. After you know your fault, you have to think about how to make up for it." Su Xing smiled and waved his hand.
Gao Can immediately understood what Su Xing meant. He quickly walked to the front of his junior sister Feng Ling and said with a sincere expression: "Junior sister, it's my senior brother's fault. He insists on showing off his strength even though his skills are inferior to others, which almost caused a disaster.
,I’m sorry, I was wrong.”
"No...it's okay, senior brother."
Su Xing, who was watching this scene from a distance, nodded with satisfaction and whistled into the sky. A white crane with spread wings quickly responded to him with a loud cry.
Within a few minutes, the white crane slowly landed in front of him.
However, when everyone on the side saw the white crane parked in front of Su Xing, including Gao Can, they all froze on the spot, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.
This is because the whistle blown by Su Xing and the white crane summoned are very familiar to them. Isn't this the mount of their Third Avenue Courtyard of Wanjian Sect? Why can this man in blue robes summon their mount?
"Fellow Taoist, stay!"
Gao Can's expression changed, he shouted loudly and walked quickly towards Su Xing.
"What's the matter?"
Su Xing, who had just been sitting on the crane's back, looked at everyone with doubts on his face.
"This Tao... Brother, may I ask where you came from? You saved Feng Ling's life and you saved mine, but we don't know your name yet. If there is a chance in the future, we would like to repay you!"
Su Xing was stunned when he heard this, then laughed and said: "Fellow disciples don't talk about repaying each other, they should help each other. A year and a half ago, like you, I was worried about cultivating the unity of man and sword every day."
"Fellow...disciple?" Gao Can asked in confusion.
"Of course. My name is Su Xing, and half a year ago I was a disciple of Yuyang Taoist Academy just like you."
"Su Xing... We don't have such a person in the Taoist temple?"
"I don't remember either."
The new disciples in the crowd looked at each other and shook their heads at each other.
The leader, Gao Can, showed a slightly confused expression and frowned, as if he was recalling the name in his mind.
Su Xing looked at the crowd and smiled, then patted the crane on the back. The crane then fluttered its wings and flew away into the distance, leaving behind everyone with dull faces.
It wasn't until Su Xing's back disappeared from their sight that Gao Can suddenly realized it. He slapped his forehead and remembered the name in his mind.
"It's him!"
He remembered that when he first started, several senior brothers and sisters who taught him mentioned the name Su Xing to him. At that time, he clearly remembered the excitement and admiration on their faces when they mentioned this person.
look.
"Senior brother, do you know that man?"
A group of junior brothers and sisters immediately gathered around and asked Gao Can.
"I... don't know him, I just heard my senior brothers talk about that person."
"Senior brother's senior brother? How do they describe that man? I think he is not a few years older than us, but he can use the sword to merge into one!"
"He said that he is a disciple of our Taoist academy, but he is wearing a blue Taoist robe. It is obvious that he no longer studies in the Third Avenue Academy. Could it be that he was...expelled from the school?"
"What are you talking about? Maybe he has just returned to the sect from outside the mountain and has not had time to change his clothes. And did you listen to his words? He was already a disciple of Yuyang Taoist Temple a year ago. You still have to address him respectfully.
A senior fellow apprentice!"
"Huh, senior brother? I think he failed in last year's academy examination, was too embarrassed to continue to stay in the sect, and went back to his hometown against the customs!"
"you!"
Seeing that Gao Can didn't respond immediately, these junior brothers and sisters who had just joined the mountain sect began to chatter about the person's identity.
Among the crowd, only the woman Feng Chime, who was rescued by Su Xing, still kept raising her eyes and looking up, as if she had not recovered from the scene just now.
"Senior Brother Gao, that senior brother named Su Xing, has he left Wanjian Sect?"
Feng Chime ignored the shouting crowd and came to Gao Can's side and asked.
Gao Can frowned and looked sideways at Feng Chime, "No, he didn't leave Wanjian Sect, he just left our Taoist Academy."
Gao Can's words made everyone on the side quiet down, and they all looked at him, waiting for his next words.
"You didn't leave Wanjian Sect, you just left Yuyang Taoist Academy. What does this mean?"
"Senior brother told me that two people in our Taoist academy advanced to the top ten in last year's academy examination and obtained the qualifications to enter the inner mountain to practice. The senior brother named Su Xing is one of them."
The new disciples who had just started looked at Gao Can in confusion, still unable to understand what he meant by "inner mountain". Only Feng Ling showed a thoughtful expression.
