The twenty-fourth day of the lunar fifth month, the Slight Heat.
In the shabby temple at the foot of Sword Mountain, after a statue was destroyed, Liu Yibai soon put the sands in a big pot and then told Li Fuyao to cut a sword tree on the mountain. Later, he unprecedentedly used his sword Wild Grass as a tool to cut the sword tree to a memorial tablet. After he finished it, he didn’t instantly put it where the statue had been but asked Xie Lu to come to engrave some words with her sword.
As for the three people at the foot of Sword Mountain, although Xie Lu always paid attention to swordsmanship and didn’t like to study anything else, it didn’t mean that this descendant of the Xie family wasn’t skilled in anything. In fact, the first senior fellow apprentice Xian Chunan who had learnt all kinds of skills was always profuse in praise for Xie Lu’s beautiful tiny handwriting and said that all the characters she wrote were full of spirit. Now that Xie Lu
In the ocean where countless cultivators from the three religious sects and Demonic cultivators as well as swordsmen were buried, there was hatred everywhere, and a lot of cultivators’ dead bodies sank to the bottom, so such a black ocean was formed. It was the most suitable battlefield on the demonic land to fight against a swordsman. If not so, the two big shots who could command one area of the demonic land respectively wouldn’t have deliberately planned to lure Chao Qingqiu into this place.They could restrain this Sword Immortal most here.Even so, these days, the Sword Immortal Chao Qingqiu who couldn’t break this siege with his sword still hadn’t found a way to leave, but in this ocean, when he fought against these two big shots from the demonic land, he had never been in a disadvantageous position. After spreading their figures, the two big shots were towering, and they spared no effort and tried every means all the time to attack the Sword I
It was beyond expectation that Ye Shengge climbed up the mountain, but since this gifted Dao cultivator was determined to go up, the people on Sword Mountain certainly couldn’t ignore her. Although Ye Shengge was a gifted Dao cultivator, she was a member of the young generation, and it was obviously unrealistic to let the two swordsmen at the Dawning Stage at the foot of Sword Mountain stop her, while there were only two young men left on Sword Mountain, Li Fuyao and Wu Shanhe. Li Fuyao hadn’t cultivated swordsmanship for a long time, so he was unable to stop Ye Shengge. As a result, the important job to stop her from climbing up was naturally given to Wu Shanhe in the end. He had finished the Sword Qi Stage and entered the Fundamental Stage lately, able to fight against the gifted Dao cultivator Ye Shengge at the Sanctification Stage, so as soon as she showed up on the mountain path, she was attacked by Wu Shanhe with his sword.This teenage boy would be thrown
During the period of the Great Heat after the Slight Heat, the old master went down to the shabby temple at the foot of the mountain and saw his two disciples respectively. He saw Xie Lu first. He didn’t know what to say to this female disciple who was from an influential family logically. At last, he stayed in front of the shabby temple for a long time and said something irrelevant. Then he went to see Liu Yibai. Xie Lu didn’t answer him from beginning to end and looked indifferent.In the shabby temple, Liu Yibai pulled out a pot of rice wine and gave it to his master. Then he pulled out another pot from under his statue. He didn’t care if it was clean and just sat on a stone table in front of the statue, which caused much flying dust.Xu Ji said crossly, “Give me a bowl.”Liu Yibai unwillingly took out a small wine bowl from under the statue.Xu Ji wiped the bowl with his sleeve randomly and then poured a bowl of wine. Af
The old master Xu Ji on Sword Mountain had picked up the ancient sword Reminiscence earlier. Although he hadn’t gone down the mountain, the sword Qi was powerful. Only the swordsmen who really had attainments had such momentum. The predecessor in swordsmanship who was proficient in literature many years ago would write some poetic prose such as “The sword is used by a man, but his name will be known only after he writes” to describe the swordsmen’s charm. However, that predecessor’s attainment in swordsmanship was really average. Although he could write excellent poems and essays, he might not win many people’s admiration. A Sword Immortal who could sit in the clouds once said while laughing, “If his attainment in swordsmanship is half outstanding as his poems and essays, there will be much more advocators of him in the human world.”Xu Ji didn’t go down the mountain in a hurry or anxiously pay attention to what was happening at the foot of the mountain. He was j
In society, if people wanted to describe somebody who was still powerful in martial arts when he was old, they would like to say that he became more firm as he grew old, but it was improper to describe the cultivators on mountains in this way.After all, the cultivators on mountains had lived for hundreds of years at least anyway. If they wanted to maintain a good appearance, they might show their faces which were young all the time as they liked except the last days when they looked old. So it was not right to say that they became more firm as they grew old. For example, the temple owner Liang Yi had cultivated for hundreds of years, yet he still had a middle-aged man’s face, while the old master Xu Ji was unwilling to maintain his face, so he looked so old. However, after he wielded his sword several times and his momentum rose to the peak, his white hair became black gradually, and his face looked much younger than before. With this trend, it was safe to say t
Soon after the temple owner Liang Yi went down the mountain, the old Confucian scholar with a book box on his back talked with the old master Xu Ji endlessly on the mountain path. Then Xu Ji whose white hair looked dim with no shine nodded.The old Confucian scholar said with a smile, “Rest assured. In three or four hundred years at most, I will give you a swordsman at the Ascending Stage.”Xu Ji looked indifferent. “Don’t need to make it by force. As he wants to leave the mountain since long ago, nobody can stop him, but please take care of him after he goes down the mountain.”The old Confucian scholar nodded and signed with emotion, yet he didn’t say more. After he reached the mountaintop, he went to the sword grave first. He didn’t talk much to the teenage boy in the sword grave about the sages’ reasons. He just said that Xu Ji had agreed to let Little Fool Wu travel around the world with him and go back in three or five hundred year
Chao Qingqiu looked pale after he almost fought against three cultivators at the Ocean Stage successively. Obviously he had been wounded seriously, but because he could stand on the mountain path, it meant that this Sword Immortal was still able to unsheathe his sword at least. Since he had the ability, nobody dared to provoke him randomly.Standing on the mountain path, Chao Qingqiu looked as usual and said calmly, “If I weren’t wounded severely, I really wanted to take Du Gong’s life today.”Chao Qingqiu spoke casually, while in fact, any cultivator might gasp after hearing that. What kind of person was a sage? The sages were the most powerful men in the human world, the peerless cultivators who could destroy a sect or an empire as long as they wanted to. How could Chao Qingqiu say that he would kill one?Xu Ji showed a bitter face. He still remembered how arrogant Chao Qingqiu was when he reached the top of Sword Mountain for the firs
Li Fuyao walked around at the top of Sword Mountain before he left. He didn’t go with Ye Shengge. After all, this gifted Dao cultivator was from the Taoism sect. If she went up Sword Mountain randomly, the old master Xu Ji wouldn’t agree, and Li Fuyao was unwilling.This was the first time for Li Fuyao to look at Sword Mountain carefully. He went to the Sword Immortal Hall, sword grave, Sword Lawn at the top and Sword Washing Pool with many swords. At last, he stood in front of the Sword Immortal Hall for a long time. Before going down the mountain, Li Fuyao lit a stick of incense in front of each memorial tablet of the Sword Immortals in the history in the hall and then left here.When Li Fuyao went down the mountain, he wore a white robe made by Xie Lu and carried the sword case made by Liu Yibai on his back. There were two swords in the case, Green Strand that he had found under the cliff and Master Xie Lu’s Light Snow. Both of them were famous sw
