More than half a month has passed since Liu Yuexi left Xiaozhu Peak.
In the past half month, Su Xing, besides eating and lodging, spent the rest of his time on the Xiaozhu Peak, searching for the heart of his sword.
The devil wields his sword to kill, and the knight wields his sword for justice.
And Su Xing...
One morning, the snow in the sky finally stopped after falling continuously for a week.
Beside the stream flowing down from the top of the mountain, Su Xing was sitting on a stream rock, folding his arms and touching his chin with one hand, thinking.
During this week, Su Xing came up with many explanations for the proposition of sword heart, but none of them satisfied him.
He doesn't want to be like a demon who causes countless families to be broken up every time he swings his sword, but he also doesn't want to be like a narrow-minded gentleman in the world, living every day to bring peace to the world. That's too tiring.
While thinking about this, an idea suddenly occurred to me.
On the day when he learned that he could not enter martial arts, Su Xing seemed to have held his head and cried in the room, thinking about how to walk the future.
At that time, the answer he gave himself was to live according to his heart.
Although he cannot become a true warrior and be respected by everyone, as a son of a family, he can still live a carefree life for the rest of his life.
Travel around mountains and rivers, climb mountains every day to watch the sunrise, and after sunset, return to your own courtyard to toast to the moon.
But this idea was shattered after meeting Di Yueling.
That's because he can become a warrior, and... he also has a more arduous vow that he must fulfill.
As a result, you can no longer live as you please.
"but……"
Su Xing murmured in a low voice, and suddenly leaned against the rusty sword on the rocks beside the stream.
His eyes gradually brightened, and a look of relief appeared on his originally depressed face.
"Although as a warrior, I can no longer live a life of my own free will like a mortal."
"But I can become a swordsman who lives according to my heart."
Go with your heart.
When a person lives his whole life, he can only achieve absolute happiness and perfection by living according to his heart.
"I swing the sword because my heart wants me to swing the sword. It's because when something doesn't go my way, I have to rely on the power of the sword to turn it around."
"Every sword strike is for the sake of one's own will."
"Shunxin is the heart of my sword."
When he finished his thoughts, Su Xing suddenly stood up, and a strange aura radiated from his whole body. He kicked off the rocks under his feet and flew toward a bamboo forest not far away with his sword.
The cold wind blew, and the flying figure left light footprints on the snow on the ground. In the blink of an eye, he had appeared in front of the dense forest.
There was only an ear-piercing stabbing sound as Su Xing pulled the rusty sword out of its scabbard and slashed hard at the bamboo forest in front of him.
The young man's eyes were cold and stern, his face expressionless.
The shadow of the sword flickered in the forest, and several birds climbing on the treetops chirped loudly and fluttered their wings.
"Wow."
The sound of green bamboos chopped off by sharp swords falling to the ground resounded throughout the mountains of Xiaozhu Peak, and dozens of green bamboos also swayed and fell to the ground.
There was another stabbing sound, and the rusty sword returned to its scabbard, and Su Xing looked at the place where the green bamboo was chopped.
All I saw were complete and smooth surfaces.
At this moment, the young man became one with the spirit sword.
…
Half a month later, Yuyang Peak, Yuyang Taoist Temple.
Du Jia stood in the open space in front of the Taoist temple, with his hands behind his hands, scanning the disciples present.
Two months ago, under the leadership of Du Jia, these disciples who had just entered the kendo began to try to understand the unity of man and sword. Today, two months later, it was the time when he was ready to test the progress of everyone's kendo.
According to his previous estimates, it would be extremely good if he could reach the threshold of the unity of man and sword within half a year.
In fact, the disciples of the other two Taoist monasteries were required to fully master the unity of man and sword within half a year, otherwise they would be expelled from the Taoist monastery.
The reason why Du Jia has such low requirements for his disciples is because the student resources of Yuyang Taoist Academy have become worse and worse in the past two years. Since everyone's talents are not high, the requirements do not need to be so harsh.
.
Yuyang Taoist Temple is the last place for the outer disciples of Wanjian Sect. If the standards of this Taoist Temple are so high, wouldn't it mean that most of the disciples will have to leave the sect?
Even though Du Jia also loves geniuses, he still has to face reality.
At this time, a white crane descended from the sky, and Su Xing, wearing a yellow robe, quickly joined the crowd.
After a while, Du Jia saw that the time was almost up and clapped his hands.
Several martial boys immediately moved the wooden stakes one by one in front of everyone.
"According to our agreement, I will check the results of your practice every two months." When the equipment was almost ready, Du Jia said loudly.
"Now, everyone line up and use your sword skills on the wooden stakes in front of you. Remember not to be shy and unwilling to take action just because you feel that your mastery is not complete enough. I will watch you from the side and provide guidance.
"
As Du Jia finished speaking, a dozen disciples lined up one by one.
Su Xing stood at the end of the crowd. He counted twelve people in front of him.
Seeing that everyone was ready, the first disciple left the team in two steps, holding the scabbard with his left hand and placing his right hand on the hilt.
He is a young man with a strong build and an upright appearance. He first nodded to everyone, and then slowly drew out his long sword.
It was a slender sword that was green in color and had a dark red hilt.
"Li Feng, this sword is called Blue Blood."
After Li Feng finished the introduction, he suddenly held his breath and placed his eyes on the wooden stake in front of him.
"drink!"
He shouted loudly, kicked off the ground with both feet, and ran towards the wooden stake with the green blood sword in hand.
In front of everyone's eyes, Li Feng appeared in front of the wooden stake at an extremely fast speed. He swung his right arm holding the sword hard in the air, and a slanting sword shadow immediately slashed on the wooden stake, leaving a trail of two swords.
Inch-deep traces.
When Du Jia saw this scene, he gently shook his head.
He couldn't even cut off a small wooden stake with a full blow. I really don't know where his time was spent.
With this thought in mind, he said: "The angle and strength of the sword are extremely inaccurate. Please read the sword art more often and see how the pictures in it are done."
"yes……"
Li Feng, who originally wanted to fish in troubled waters, sneered, scratched his head in embarrassment, put away the Blue Blood Sword, and quickly retreated.
Seeing Li Feng's appearance, everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.
The test continued. Among the twelve people after Li Feng, although everyone's spirit swords had very nice names, nine of them failed to break the wooden stake just like Li Feng.
Du Jia looked at the scene in front of him with an expressionless face, but in his heart he wanted to curse these disciples.
When Su Xing saw this scene, he secretly shook his head.
No wonder there are rumors that Yuyang Taoist Temple has declined. Among the thirteen people who participated in the first inspection, excluding Su Xing who has not yet appeared, ten of them were unable to cut even a small wooden stake.
The other two successful disciples were a man and a woman named "Li Cheng" and "Zhou Yue", whose faces were not very familiar to Su Xing.
"Su Xing, you are the last one."
At this time, Du Jia's resentful words reached Su Xing's ears.
The lecturer, who was on the verge of tears, deliberately added an accent to the word "last", as if he meant to threaten Su Xing.
Naturally, the young man understood what the other party meant. He smiled innocently at Du Jia and walked to the wooden stake under the spotlight of everyone.
The twelve people who had finished the display now all focused on Su Xing.
Some of them were very curious about the young man because of the incident between Su Xing and Zhang Zhi; there were also some narrow-minded people who failed to break the wooden stakes and looked at Su Xing with a disapproving attitude, thinking only about
Make him look embarrassed.
The polite Su Xing first bowed to everyone present. This move immediately won the appreciation of several disciples, including a female disciple named Zhou Yue.
After the salute, Su Xing picked up the spirit sword wrapped in white cloth around his waist.
This move attracted the attention of many people.
Wrapping his own spiritual sword in white cloth, is there something special about his spiritual sword?
Everyone thought so.
With a faint smile, Su Xing slowly took off the white cloth, revealing the true appearance of the spirit sword.
"Pfft."
Before he could introduce him, several disciples among the crowd couldn't hold back their laughter.
"This Su Xing actually picked a useless sword in the sword hall?"
"There are countless famous swords in the sword hall, why would he choose a useless sword? Could it be that he feels that his worth is not worthy of other swords?"
At that moment, someone speculated like this, and everyone in the audience was whispering among themselves.
But Zhou Yue frowned slightly like Du Jia, but Du Jia frowned because he was very worried about Su Xing. As for Zhou Yue's inner thoughts, it was unknown.
At this time, Su Xing didn't pay attention to what everyone said. He opened his mouth and said to everyone in a very calm voice:
"In Xia Su Xing, this sword has no name or surname, so it is called 'Wu Ming'."
Before he finished speaking, everyone felt a scorching light flash before their eyes.
