After the silver waves all over the ground, there is a cloudless sky.
The view is extremely broad and unobstructed.
Between heaven and earth, in Chang'an, there was silence, no longer the hustle and bustle of the past.
Occasionally a breeze blows by, but Chang'an does not seem like spring|water will frown.
The breeze enters the city tower, and Chang'an knows no sorrow.
This largest city of the human race seems to be asleep today.
There was silence under the sun.
In the spirit boat, the figures of Lu Qingshan and the master of Shuiyue Temple flashed out.
Looking at the empty city scene, looking at the trace left by Li Qiubai's sword that went straight through the eighteen gates, and the devastation on the wide central avenue, Lu Qingshan remained silent.
Clearly, all that was left in front of him was the weathered city wall, but in Lu Qingshan's eyes it seemed as if there were crowds of people, naughty children holding bunches of frosted fruit, hawkers hawking their wares, women with makeup on, monks, and a sword that pierced through heaven and earth.
This place was once bustling and prosperous.
Higher up in the sky, Xie Qingyun emerged from the sword light, his expression calm and gentle, with a ethereal and otherworldly temperament in his eyes.
Between heaven and earth, there is a lingering sword intent.
He paused for a long time, feeling the eternal sword intent, and then he said leisurely, "Li Qiubai, what a good sword."
The sword of a sword cultivator is different from that of other people.
The other person's I have a sword, and that means he really has a sword.
But as a sword cultivator, I have a sword. It can be a treasured sword, a sword style, a sword technique, a sword intent, a sword heart, and even a way of being a human being.
…
In the imperial study of the Great Xia Palace.
Xie Qingyun, Xia Zhao and the master of Tianji Temple who had arrived not long ago, a total of three people gathered together.
The conversation between the three had been going on for a long time and was nearing its end.
"Master Xia, please accept my condolences." The master of Tianji Temple finally sighed leisurely and said to the female master who had maintained a cold expression from beginning to end.
"Why should I be sad?" The female master felt a little nervous, but her expression did not change.
The master of Tianji Temple said nothing more.
Xia Zhao told them about Qingzhou, Xuanzun, Tianhe City, how to rebuild Chang'an, and Yanlan Pass...
Having sat on the throne for ten thousand years, Xia Zhao did not cultivate military power, but he was really good at governing the country. He had considered almost every aspect.
But there was no mention of Chang'an Sword Immortal.
When you have said everything, the only thing you haven't said is the most important.
The master of Tianji Temple sighed in his heart.
Just because you don’t mention it, it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
But he also understood that Xia Zhao was not deceiving herself, but only in this way could she hold on to her last string and support her to continue her responsibilities until the last moment...
The master of Tianji Temple was a man of great wisdom. He did not try to enlighten or persuade Xia Zhao.
because.
The most emotional thing in the world is nothing more than the clinking sound of broken ice in white porcelain plum soup in midsummer.
The love tribulations in the world are nothing more than the coldest days of winter, when the black tiles are covered with black berberines and the sweet heart speaks of bitterness.
The obsessions in the world are nothing but the thousands of layers of ice on the weak water in the dead of winter, which cannot be moved by axes, shovels or chisels.
People's obsession cannot be removed by human power.
…
Xie Qingyun and the master of Tianji Temple left the study together.
"Without Lu Qingshan, the outcome of this bloody massacre in Chang'an would be much worse than it is now." After the two of them walked in silence for a while, the master of Tianji Temple suddenly spoke.
Without waiting for Xie Qingyun to answer, the master of Tianji Temple continued, "Shuiyue told me that the sword luck that Chang'an Sword Immortal gained from opening the Heavenly Gate was fully within his reach."
"No one knows what the master of Dongming Temple saw in the Tianji Mirror that year, but the reason why he named the new year Tianyuan is because he took the meaning of falling into Tianyuan." The master of Tianji Temple continued.
Lin Dongming was the previous abbot of Tianji Temple.
"No one knows who that Tianyuan is." Xie Qingyun finally spoke.
"I originally thought it would be Li Qiubai or Chu Mushen," Tianji Temple Master asked with deep eyes, "But the death of Chang'an Sword Immortal suddenly reminded me of a saying. The sword of the previous dynasty cannot kill the officials of the present dynasty. Then how can the chess players of Chang'an decide the chess game of Tianyuan?"
Xie Qingyun was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Your idea is very bold."
The head of Tianji Temple shrugged, then suddenly said, "Lu Qingshan is a precious jade, and needs to be carved carefully."
"I know," Xie Qingyun replied, "The Sword Sect has always been like this."
It's not about protection, it's about carving.
Every truly powerful cultivator has made his own way and never relied on shelter to gain power.
…
Lu Qingshan paced on the empty streets of Chang'an.
A huge feeling of sorrow arose in his heart, and along with this feeling of sorrow was an inexplicable sense of pride.
He already knew everything that happened in the battle of Chang'an City.
Li Qiubai, in the end, lived up to his name and remained undefeated throughout his life.
"This is the sword that opens the sky gate." Lu Qingshan said silently.
This was the last version he experienced before coming to this world.
Although it happened two hundred years earlier than in the previous life.
All this is because of his arrival.
In fact, from another perspective, this bloody massacre that happened two hundred years earlier was a good thing for the human race.
This gave the human race more time to recuperate after the bloody massacre in Chang'an.
More importantly, Li Qiubai opened the Tianmen Gate two hundred years earlier, which was equivalent to giving the world's sword practitioners two hundred more years.
Of course, the bloody massacre in Chang'an that broke out two hundred years earlier definitely changed the subsequent established plot beyond recognition.
However, these have .
Because the plot after "Sword Opens the Sky Gate" was unknown to him.
For things that are unknown, there is no point in changing them.
There was no one to be seen in the empty streets.
Prince Qing and Xuanzun were too powerful, and the Blood Word Art was too strange. The cultivators in Chang'an City died without much struggle, and there was not much damage to Chang'an City caused by the fight.
This place is different from Tai'an, Donglin and other three cities. This is a great city of the human race, the imperial capital of Daxia, and an extremely rich place.
Most importantly, it has a history of 20,000 years and is a symbol of the human race.
No matter how strong the wind or how heavy the rain, it cannot completely destroy . Soon, Chang'an will be rebuilt amidst the devastation and gradually regain its former popularity.
This will of course take time and involve a certain degree of difficulty.
But humans have always been a tenacious race.
Lu Qingshan, whose mind was wandering, frowned suddenly, then quickly relaxed his brows.
At the end of the empty street, a man appeared.
Lu Qingshan stopped and looked.
With just one glance, he knew the identity of the person opposite him.
The leader of the Sword Sect, the Qingyun Sword Immortal.
He looks like a middle-aged man, with loose black hair, clear eyes, a handsome face, a tall and strong figure, and an ethereal temperament.
He stood still, his eyes very deep, looking at Lu Qingshan.
"Dao Yun's disciple, Lu Qingshan?" the sword immortal asked gently.
Lu Qingshan nodded and said respectfully, "Greetings, Sect Master."
"I originally told Daoyun to ask you to go to my Qingyun Palace after returning to Yumen Pass, but I didn't expect to see you here first," Xie Qingyun said softly, "Very good, although your cultivation progress is rapid, your aura is stable, and it is obvious that you are not making reckless moves."
Lu Qingshan clasped his fists and said seriously: "The boy knows the importance of things and will not lose sight of the main point."
Xie Qingyun nodded slightly, and then sighed, "I heard from Dao Yun that you are quite good at swordsmanship. I want to take a look."
It was exactly the same greeting as Xia Daoyun's, or rather, Xia Daoyun inherited the old sect master's habit.
This is the way sword practitioners communicate with each other. There is no need to say too much. Everything can be said through sword moves.
Lu Qingshan obeyed the order without reservation.
In an instant, the Yuan Energy in his body surged into the sky, like a real dragon reviving and surging. The powerful fluctuations of the Yuan Energy surprised Xie Qingyun, and he nodded continuously.
"boom!"
Lu Qingshan's momentum was still rising, all the energy in his body was surging and overflowing in his body, and the shape of a dragon could be vaguely seen, like a vast ocean, with a blue dragon causing waves.
"Yitian." He whispered in his heart.
With a buzzing sound, a flash of red light passed by, and the dragon bird suddenly appeared in his hand.
"Xia Yu...fall!" he shouted softly.
In an instant.
The continuous rain is all over the sky, everywhere.
Those were the afterimages left by the sword's trajectory in the air.
Aggressive.
Each sword move is more exciting than the last, and the momentum is particularly strong.
A gleam of light flashed in Xie Qingyun's eyes, but he smiled and his mind moved.
A majestic spirit appeared out of nothing, drawing a semi-arc, with a head and a tail, and the sword energy was full of ancient spirit, blocking in front of Lu Qingshan's sword style.
Lu Qingshan swung out fifteen swords in an instant, but they were all deflected by Xie Qingyun's powerful sword energy.
The ten-foot distance between him and the Sword Immortal seemed like a world away, and he would never be able to reach him.
It seemed futile, but after the sixteenth sword, Lu Qingshan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Spring breeze...return." He shouted in his heart.
A secret sword that will hit the target within a distance of fifty feet, and can be used at the same time as other secret swords.
This is the combination move of Chun Feng Gui and Xia Yu Luo's seventeenth sword.
The ten-foot distance that seemed so close yet so far away was finally broken by Lu Qingshan.
He pointed his sword at Xie Qingyun's heart.
However, at the junction of the sword tip and his heart, there was a thin and almost invisible air flow, which stopped Lu Qingshan's Dragon Bird from advancing even a bit.
"Very good," Xie Qingyun praised softly, and then asked: "I have never seen these two secret sword techniques before. Did you create them yourself?"
"I was able to comprehend it after learning other people's swordsmanship and hearing the sword skills taught to me by the Sword Immortal Chang'an." Lu Qingshan told the truth without hiding anything.
"You are quite modest. In the way of swordsmanship, the back waves push the front waves forward. It is natural to stand on the shoulders of others and take a high position." Xie Qingyun had satisfaction in his eyes. "After all, this secret sword was created by you. You have a high level of understanding in the way of swordsmanship."
Lu Qingshan took back the dragon bird, and before he could say anything, the sword fairy continued: "Among the current young generation of the Sword Sect, you are the leader in terms of swordsmanship."
The sword immortal figure who was unattainable in his previous life gave him such a high evaluation. Logically speaking, Lu Qingshan should have been secretly delighted.
However, Lu Qingshan discovered that he now had nothing but his ambition.
The spirit of a sword cultivator is as gentle as jade, and a gentleman values ​​it.
Xie Qingyun took a few steps back and looked at this young man from the Sword Sect carefully, remembering what the master of Tianji Temple had just said.
Lu Qingshan is a sword practitioner favored by the sword spirit.
The luck released by Li Qiubai when he opened the Heavenly Gate should have been distributed among the millions of sword practitioners in the world, but instead, some of it flowed into one person.
Even the two sword immortals have never monopolized all the luck.
Weird, strange, it shouldn't be like this.
It’s not surprising, as the kendo energy favors true sword holders.
Landing...Tianyuan?
"Prince Qing colluded with the demons, massacred Chang'an, killed his compatriots, and was beheaded by the Chang'an Sword Immortal. What do you think?" Xie Qingyun asked suddenly.
"Even in the world of monks, there are still rules and etiquette. If someone does not follow them, they need to be punished."
"Indeed," Xie Qingyun nodded, and then said, "The Sword Sect's rules for the world are very simple. Our swords are etiquette and rules."
"When you opened your sect, I was not in the sect, so I did not give you a gift for opening your sect." Before Lu Qingshan could respond, the sword immortal was probably very satisfied with this extremely promising and capable swordsman. He continued, "But since we met today, I will make up for this gift for opening your sect that I have owed you for several years."
"After all, you will still be the ones to direct the world in the future." Xie Qingyun took a step forward, patted Lu Qingshan on the shoulder, and said kindly.
Finally, he raised his hand, and an old dragon sword talisman suddenly fell and landed in Lu Qingshan's palm.
Then, the sword immortal passed by the younger generation, ascended to heaven in one step, and disappeared in a flash, and let out a long sigh, "Your generation of sword cultivators has a heavy burden on your shoulders, so don't think it's too heavy."
Xie Qingyun's voice was calm, and his figure appeared above Qingyun, but his mind was filled with mixed feelings.
The person he most wanted to give this Old Dragon Sword Talisman to was his disciple, Xia Daoyun.
Because in the Sword Sect, Xie Qingyun's most promising swordsman has always been the female swordsman whom he praised as "the one who is the best among flowers, without needing the light green or light red color."
However, Xia Daoyun's identity destined her to become a sword cultivator of the Sword Sect, but she could never be just a sword cultivator of the Sword Sect, nor could she inherit the Old Dragon Sword Talisman.
Apart from this, among the other sword cultivators in the sect, there is no one more suitable than Xia Daoyun.
As long as the sword cultivator can kill people, it's fine.
But if you want to inherit this Old Dragon Sword Talisman, you must not only be able to kill people, but also be able to make friends and teach people.
He didn't pay attention to Lu Qingshan at first.
——No matter how successful Lu Qingshan is, his cultivation is still low after all.
However, Xia Daoyun respected her as a disciple very much, and twice suggested that Lu Qingshan take over his Old Dragon Sword Talisman.
Therefore, Xie Qingyun began to pay attention to the youngest swordsman in the Sword Sect.
After Lu Qingshan advanced from the strongest fourth realm to the strongest fifth realm in a year, he was finally moved and asked Xia Daoyun to decide to meet Lu Qingshan in person.
He just didn't expect that within just one month, he would meet Lu Qingshan by chance.
What is even more unexpected is that the strongest five realms a month ago has now reached the sixth realm.
He didn't ask what happened during that month.
He just tried Lu Qingshan's sword.
That's all, it's enough.
He knew Xia Daoyun's temperament, Li Qiubai's character, and the direction of his sword skills.
He was so honored by Xia Daoyun, and was taught a sword by Li Qiubai, and was favored by the sword-fighting luck, as well as having this sword test.
Lu Qingshan is fully qualified to take over this Old Dragon Sword Talisman.
But no matter what, the fact that a sixth-level swordsman inherited the Old Dragon Sword Talisman was still unprecedented in the history of the Sword Sect.
Too early and too hasty.
The reason why Xie Qingyun did this was all because of what the master of Tianji Temple said.
Tianyuan chess players decide the Tianyuan chess game.
But time is short, not enough for the chess pieces to become chess players.
Jade cannot be made into a useful object without being carved.
So he not only had to carve it, but also had to carve it quickly and hard.
…
Lu Qingshan looked down at the Old Dragon Sword Talisman in his hand, his pupils shrank slightly, and he pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
The sword symbol is in the shape of a blue dragon, with blue clouds in front and a blue sword breaking through the clouds.
That is the Sword Sect’s Taoist weapon, Fuyao.
On the back, the word "Sword Sect" is engraved in a flamboyant manner.
At the lower right corner of the word "Sword Sect", there are two slightly smaller fonts, also written in the same iron-painted and silver-hooked style.
Shaozong.
Together, they are the Young Master of the Sword Sect.
This means that from this moment on, Lu Qingshan will have another identity, the Young Master of the Sword Sect.
Of course, this is just a name.
There may be more than one young master of the Sword Sect.
It doesn't mean that just by becoming the young sect leader, one can become the one in charge of the sword sect in the future.
Whether this name can become reality and be recognized by everyone depends on the rules of the Sword Sect.
——See if the sword in Lu Qingshan’s hand can convince the crowd and make the three thousand swords of the Sword Sect follow him.
But no matter what, this is the supreme honor, which means that Lu Qingshan has at least been recognized by Qingyun Sword Immortal.
In addition, Lu Qingshan is currently the only young master of the Sword Sect.
Moreover, among the seven great Taoist sects, Lu Qingshan is the only one who is currently the young master.
