The Path Toward Heaven Chapter 20: Ask the sword to the old man in black


   It wasn't until a long time later that Jing Jiu retracted his gaze and raised his head.

   Just then, he just heard Lin Wuzhi's last sentence in this class.

  "To do this, you must first find a sword of your own."

  ……

  ……

   Lin Wuzhi left Xijian Pavilion with more than a dozen disciples, walked upstream along Xijian Creek, and soon came to a mountain peak.

   Compared with other mountain peaks, there is very little vegetation on this mountain, and there is no dense forest. I can only see the cliffs and rocks, which is very desolate.

   There are many small holes in the cliff wall below the mountain peak. The opening of the hole is very small, and the edges are extremely smooth. It seems to be pierced by something.

   The upper half of the mountain peak is shrouded in thick clouds, and it is impossible to see clearly.

   This is the fourth peak of Qingshan, Yunxingfeng.

   Green Mountain Sect disciples are more accustomed to call this mountain a sword peak, because there are countless swords hidden in this mountain, waiting to be discovered by their owner.

   Yunxing Peak is very special. The clouds and mists never dissipate all year round. The peaks are very humid. In addition, there are countless sword intents hidden in the cliffs. It is very hard to live in it. Therefore, the teachers and apprentices of Yunxing Peak practice under the peak. In daily life, the peak owner is discussing matters in Tianguang Peak.

  When the life of the strongest of the Green Mountain Sect is about to expire, they often come to this peak and donate their flying sword to this mountain.

   Of course, if the strong man wants to bury his flying sword with him, no one will force him.

   But since the establishment of the Green Mountain Sect, no matter how large the number of strong swords returned to the peak is, it is impossible to obtain more swords than the disciples of the younger generations.

   Why are there so many swords in Jianfeng? Where did the first swords come from? No one can answer this question.

   Some people say that this sword peak is a sword furnace built on its own. Some people say that this sword peak is a large tomb formed by the powerful people of the previous generations. No relevant evidence was found after investigation.

  The disciples stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the peaks in the mist, and listening to Lin Wuzhi’s explanation, their eyes grew sour, and several of them even cried.

   They are naturally not thinking about the ancient feelings, nor are they empathizing with the demeanor of the senior teachers, but they were stabbed in the eyes by the sword intent.

   I don’t know that there are tens of thousands of swords hidden in this mountain. The swords are in harmony. Even at such a distance, these disciples who have just entered the inner gate cannot bear it.

  How to get up to this sword peak? Or just look for swords among these cliffs below?

  Some disciples thought to themselves.

   Lin Ignorant knows what the disciples are thinking, and he is not angry, and said with a smile: "The things you can think of, naturally the previous generation disciples will also think of it. I might as well tell you that the caves on the cliffs at the bottom of the mountain are swords. Dong, I don’t know how many years I have been searched for. If you can find a sword, then it’s your skill and luck, isn’t it?"

  The disciples are so speechless, thinking that just standing at the foot of the mountain is already so difficult, is it really necessary to go up to the top of Jianfeng, or even to the top?

   Lin Wuzhi reminded: "Don't forget, the more you go to the top, the higher the quality of the flying sword."

  A famous disciple suddenly thought of something and asked: "I heard that Senior Sister Zhao has been practicing swordsmanship on Jianfeng?"

   Lin ignorantly nodded and said, "Yes, she should be in the cloud at this time."

  The disciples were shocked and talked a lot.

   When they stood at the bottom of the mountain, they could already feel the awe-inspiring feeling emanating from the clouds on Jianfeng. What kind of terrifying feeling would it be if they walked into those clouds?

   Do you know that even the teacher of the Yun Xingfeng line does not want to stay between the peaks for too long, but Zhao Layue has been at the top of the peak?

  "The sword is taken from the peak, it is also a test of your aspirations and wisdom."

   The wisdom in this sentence is obviously profound, but Lin Wuzhi didn't give more explanation.

  "Zhao Layue's determination is a model for three generations of disciples. You must learn from her."

   After saying this, he glanced at Jing Jiu without a trace.

   Jing Jiu understood what he meant, did not turn around to avoid it, and did not respond. Looking at the cloud on the peak, he thought: "Sword intent tempers the body?"

   Sword Intent Body Tempering is a very bitter and dangerous method. Generally speaking, no one will use it except those sword repairs that are about to end their life, because the risk is too great.

   Zhao Layue is a disciple cultivated by the Green Mountain Sect. She has an infinitely bright future, and she is only more than ten years old. There is still a lot of time to be used for cultivation, but she resolutely chose this most difficult path.

   This gave Jing Jiu a little appreciation for her.

  While Lin ignorantly spoke, several deacons from Yun Xingfeng’s line greeted them from the building at the foot of the mountain and began to register for Jing Jiu and others on the roster, and at the same time hand out sword cards.

   They patiently told these disciples who had just entered the inner gate how to use the sword card, how to judge that they could no longer support it, and what to do in case of danger.

   Those disciples were a little surprised. Hearing these words, their expressions became more solemn. Some disciples couldn't help but say: "Are you going to climb the summit to get your sword today?"

   Today is the first day that many disciples, including Jing Jiu, entered the inner gate. As a result, they have to face such a challenge?

   Lin Ignorant looked at them and smiled and said, "Do you guys know that climbing the mountain and taking the sword is my first lesson in Daqingshan?"

  ……

  ……

   Suddenly, the deacon Yun Xingfeng who was logging into the roster stopped and looked somewhere.

  When they saw the person walking towards Jianfeng, the deacons looked very solemn, and quickly walked out to the side of the service road, bowed and saluted, very respectful.

  The disciples were a little surprised, thinking about what big person had come, and then they looked in the direction.

   It was an old man in black, with white hair and withered face. I don't know how old it is, and I don't see any surprises.

  Lin’s ignorant expression also became serious, with his hands in front of him, bending slightly, and slowly said: "Gracefully send Mo Shishu."

   The old man in black stopped, saw him, arched his hands, looked at Jing Jiu and others, and asked, "Is this the inner disciple of this period?"

   "Some will come in one after another." Lin Wuzhi responded.

  The old man in black looked at the young disciples, with a happy smile on his face, and said: "Not bad, good, good, much better than we were back then."

   just glanced twice, and the old man in black used his sword knowledge to see the realm of these disciples clearly.

   The old man in black said a few words with his disciples~IndoMTL.com~ asked where he came from and where he was doing the Outer Sect practice, his expression was gentle, and there was a lot of encouragement in his words. The disciples didn't know who this old man was. They just saw the attitude of Lin Wuzhi and the deacon Yun Xingfeng, guessing that he should be a great man, so he didn't dare to be impatient, and responded cautiously.

   Lin ignorantly stood by and listened quietly, without interrupting or urging.

  Jing Jiu felt a little strange. On the Nine Peaks of Qingshan, no swordsman on the peak can wear black clothes.

   He can't see the realm of the old man in black now, but he can clearly feel that the opponent is weak and weak, and should be inferior to Lin Wuzhi.

  Why does Lin Wuzhi respect this person so much?

   He suddenly thought of something.

   At this moment, the old man in black happened to look at him, startled slightly, and said, "This child is so beautiful."

   Lin Wuzhi smiled and said: "Everyone knows that he is good-looking, that is, Uncle Master, you copy books on Shiyue Peak every day, and you never pay attention to it."

  The old man in black smiled, looked at Jing Jiu and said seriously, "I will work harder in the future."

   Jing Jiu didn't answer his words, but looked at him quietly.

  The old man in black felt a little strange.

   The atmosphere in the room is also a bit strange.

   A few disciples desperately gave Jing Jiu a wink, but Jing Jiu seemed unaware, still watching the black-clothed old man quietly.

   Lin ignorantly squinted slightly as he was about to reprimand Jing Jiu for a few words. The old man in black waved his hand to stop him, laughed at himself, and turned and walked towards Jianfeng.

   "Gone?"

   Lin asked ignorantly.

   "Go away."

   said the old man in black.

   Suddenly, a voice rang.

   "How is your sword now?"

   Jing Jiu said, looking at the back of the old man in black.
