Layers of black energy floated over his body, covering his entire body. The bell flew back from the ground to his hand, and the ghost cultivator disappeared.
As soon as he disappeared, the nausea and dizziness that had been lingering in Shi Yingxue's mind for a long time disappeared instantly. She gathered up the tattered robes on her body, cast a spell to change clothes, and stood up again holding Yi Rushuang in her hands.
Who is this person...?
It is indeed a bit disgraceful to say that the move she used with her fingers just now was not the Yunlangdao sword technique, but a set of Beidou swordsmanship secrets that Fei Ye used when she was still in the far western Gobi.
At that time, I was also thinking of using a powerful killing move, so I used the most lethal move in my memory, which was the move that Fei Ye used to cut the senior brother of Burning Soul Palace in half.
I didn't expect that I could succeed, but other sword techniques couldn't be used at that time when the magic sound filled my ears and made me dizzy.
He will say that he is a thief, which proves at least two things.
First, he knew that this move was the secret skill of the Beidou Sword Sect.
Second, he knew that he was not a disciple of the Beidou Sword Sect, or that he was from Yunlang Dao.
interesting.
Shi Yingxue rubbed the scratches on her palms thoughtfully, but with sharp eyes she could see a little bit of green on the ground on one side.
She wrapped it up with a handkerchief and found it was a broken corner of a jade plaque.
This should be the jade plaque of a disciple of the sect, the broken marks are still very fresh.
Thinking that he seemed to have hit a hard object when he was fighting with the ghost cultivator, he didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Now I think it must have been the disciple jade plaque hanging on his waist.
However, this jade tablet has been broken into pieces now, and all the information in it has become invalid.
Shi Yingxue felt that the texture of the jade plaque seemed a little different from what she had seen before, so she simply wrapped it carefully and put it away.
"Young hero, are you okay?"
Just when Yingxue was still thinking about the identity of this ghost cultivator, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.
I saw that the bodyguards who were protecting me under the talisman had all run out.
Some of them had black donkey hooves in their hands to ward off evil spirits, some had a pot of dark blood from nowhere, and some were holding all kinds of messy things to ward off evil spirits.
Several people just stood there defenseless, looking at Shi Yingxue with worried faces.
Shi Yingxue couldn't help but feel a little touched in her heart.
"When did you come out? Aren't you afraid of being caught by the... bad guys?"
Words such as "ghost cultivation" cannot be spoken directly. For monks, the secrets of cultivation cannot be revealed. If it is discovered by mortals and causes adverse consequences, it will be obliterated by the law of heaven. Although this continent seems not to be affected by the law of heaven in the cultivation continent.
Affected, Shi Yingxue did not dare to joke with her own life.
These people looked at me and I looked at you. The honest and honest man stood up and said, "I called everyone here. It was the young hero who saved our lives back then. The young hero is now in danger. It's obvious that
He is not a normal person, so we can’t watch him in vain! If he dies unfortunately, it will be considered as repaying the young hero’s kindness.”
She tightened her grip on her sword that was still stained with ghost energy, and asked somewhat inexplicably: "Aren't you afraid... Aren't you afraid of me? I don't look like... a normal person."
Since they would say that the ghost cultivator was not a normal person, I am afraid they had watched a lot of his battles with him, and they could tell at a glance that they were definitely not normal people.
"Young hero, we are not scholars. There are some truths that we cannot understand. It's just that we brothers have something to tell you."
"The young hero saved us once last time, and this is the second time. We don't know what kind of monsters the young hero is fighting. Although we see that the young hero is different from us, we are afraid, but we know that the young hero is fighting.
Xia is protecting us."
"With the young hero's ability, wouldn't it be easy to escape just now? But the young hero still stayed and chose to protect us, so we also want to protect the young hero, even though our strength is nothing compared to the monsters.
"
The words these escorts spoke to each other brought great shock to Shi Yingxue.
She protected these people purely out of her inner conscience, without any thought of receiving anything in return. This seemed to be the first time that she was so purely grateful by the people she protected behind her.
This made her suddenly understand the meaning of the sword.
The sword thirsts for blood and has thousands of meanings among millions of people.
The sword technique of driving the sword also has thousands of different interpretations for different sword masters.
Shi Yingxue originally thought that Canghai Jiange must kill.
She has always felt that the sword is a murderer and a beheader.
But looking at these simple bodyguards at this moment, Shi Yingxue suddenly felt that swords and swordsmanship were not powerful killers.
Rather, he is a protector who protects himself and those he wants to protect, and he is the one who separates the darkness from the light.
Swordsmanship requires killing, but is there a lack of killing in the world of cultivation?
How many times have you done it to protect the innocent people behind you and your fellow travelers, so you have no regrets about unsheathing your sword, and you have no regrets about killing and fighting?
Shi Yingxue finally felt that the dark clouds in her heart suddenly cleared up.
She uses her sword to protect what needs to be protected and kill the monsters that need to be killed. This is the meaning of her sword.
At first glance, Canghai Sword Song demanded constant killing and regicide. Shi Yingxue’s inner pressure was all on “how should I face this swordsmanship?” and she never thought about whether she would use the sword.
, and what exactly is the purpose of drawing a sword?
Now think about it, how many people and things has she killed?
In fact, quite a few.
And none of the creatures who died under her sword were people she regretted killing, only people she regretted not killing.
The sword without regrets, the sword comes out without regrets.
Even without Canghai Sword Song, she would still be able to use the sword in the future.
Sometimes she draws her sword to protect herself;
Sometimes she draws her sword to protect others;
Sometimes she draws the sword for her own safety;
Sometimes she draws the sword for the sake of innocent people.
She didn't use the Regret Sword, and she didn't even feel the slightest regret about the people in Hungry Wolf Mountain who lost their memory and killed them that day.
Shi Yingxue suddenly realized that swordsmanship was bloodthirsty, but she could choose who to kill.
How many demons and monsters are there in this world to cause misfortune? Should I kill them?
How much darkness, insidiousness, and arrogance are there in this world, should I kill them?
Shi Yingxue already had the answer in her heart.
Perhaps this is the fundamental difficulty of Canghai Sword Song. Li Yang also said that the probability of sword skill backlash is actually very low. The main reason is that Shi Yingxue himself has a natural flaw.
Shi Yingxue, however, focused all this loss of control more on the so-called "bloodthirsty swordsmanship".
In fact, the real purpose of it seems to require the sword master to keep killing, but it is to use this request to warn the sword master in a tortuous way that he should clearly identify the target of his killing, and should realize that he is holding the sword not to commit evil, but to do evil.
It is to protect the innocent people in this world.
