Hard to be a master

When a monk broke through the Wujian Peak sword formation for the first time, the barrier at the exit of the sword formation would mark him with an invisible mark, and the sword formation would not activate when he passed again in the future.So the next morning, Shen Ziliu and Zilan went up to Wujian Peak very leisurely, and for the first time, they had time to look at the scenery along the way.

This time when the two of them set foot on the top of Wujian Peak, they didn't see anyone like last time, but met a man who was waiting at the exit of the sword array.This man is also a sword cultivator, and he seems to be a few years older than Guan Jingxuan from the outside, but because a monk can keep his face forever after forming an alchemy, his appearance age is not accurate.Fortunately for Zi Lan and Shen Ziliu, all the monks who have already formed alchemy in Kunlun must be older than them, and they can't go wrong calling out senior brother.

After Shen Ziliu and Zi Lan finished greeting him, the man with a cold expression nodded his head slightly, and said, "Master Rou Qing thinks that the two of you are coming today, so I'm here to guide you. Please come with me. "

After the man finished speaking in a flat tone, he turned around and walked forward, not caring whether the two behind him followed.Seeing that the sword cultivator didn't intend to introduce himself, Shen Ziliu and Zi Lan quietly followed behind him without asking any further questions.

A quarter of an hour later, the two were taken to a large hall standing alone beside a snow-covered square.The light in the hall is brighter than imagined, but the layout is very simple. There is a large open space from the main entrance to the innermost table. Dozens of futons are neatly placed on the ground, making the whole hall look very empty, which looks a bit like The Buddhist hall where the lectures will be opened.

Probably seeing that Shen Ziliu and Zi Lan were a little curious, the sword cultivator who led them explained very rarely: "This is a place for lectures, and it is rarely used on weekdays."

This is not difficult to understand, for a monk without a sword peak, no amount of talking is as good as pulling out a sword and actually practicing.Moreover, the monks of Wujian Peak are different from those of the other two peaks. Even if they have just joined Wujian Peak, there may be a big gap in level, so it is not suitable for group teaching.

At this moment Mrs. Wen was sitting on the main seat at the end of the hall, looking carefully at the four long swords with different appearances placed on the table in front of him. He waited until the three of them were only two feet away from the table look up.

The sword cultivator who led the way had a cold look when facing Mrs. Wen, but his tone was obviously very respectful, and he said, "My lord Rouqing, this disciple brought them here."

Mrs. Wen nodded and smiled, "Thanks for your hard work."

Jianxiu bowed deeply to Mrs. Wen and stopped talking. He quietly glanced at the four swords on the table and backed away silently.

After letting Shen Ziliu and Zilan sit on the futons in the first row, Mrs. Wen sized them up for a moment, and then said with some approval: "It only took two years to complete the foundation building and break through the sword array of Wujian Peak. , you are very talented in sword cultivation, and the trial in the water moon illusion seems to be quite effective, I am very glad that you can choose to join Wujian Peak."

After a pause, Mrs. Wen went on to say: "From now on, the two of you will officially become my disciples of Wujian Peak. I hope that you will be diligent and restrain yourself in the future, seek with all your heart, live up to your chivalry, and never let go of your original aspiration."

Shen Ziliu and Zilan both straightened their backs by coincidence, and replied seriously with firm eyes: "Student, remember."

Mrs. Wen relaxed slightly, and said with a slight smile, "The road to sword cultivation is difficult. If you can get a good teacher to teach you, you will avoid many detours. Regarding apprenticeship, do you have any plans?"

As he said that, Mrs. Wen cast his eyes on Shen Ziliu, and said bluntly: "What I said two years ago still counts, is Xiaoliu willing to worship me now?"

Shen Ziliu now knows how difficult it is to become Wen Kang's disciple, and also knows that compared with Wen Kang, Guan Jingxuan's help in sword cultivation is too limited, and it can even be said that it has come to an end, but He still said without hesitation like two years ago: "Thank you Rouqing for your kindness, but this disciple has already decided that there will only be one master in this life."

Shen Ziliu's refusal seemed to be expected by Mrs. Wen, so he just said with a little regret: "Since you have made up your mind, I will not force you. What about Zi Lan? I heard that you have never been a teacher, and you already have your own teacher." Think about it."

Zi Lan was named by Mrs. Wen, and immediately stretched her back straighter. She looked at Mrs. Wen eagerly and said, "Master Rouqing, I hope to worship you as my teacher."

Mrs. Wen was not surprised when he heard the words. After all, there are not many sword masters in Kunlun who do not want to worship him as a teacher, but he smiled and shook his head, and said, "I remember that although your test results were not as good as those in the spiritual power test, Xiaoliu's is astonishing, but he is also very good. And you only completed the foundation building in two years, which shows that you are not only talented, but also very hardworking. However, there is no relationship between you and me as a master and apprentice."

Being rejected so clearly, the light of anticipation in Zi Lan's eyes instantly dimmed, but Mrs. Wen said again: "Although you two are not my disciples, you are disciples of Wujian Peak. If you encounter any confusion or bottleneck, you can also come to me for help."

Hearing what Mrs. Wen said, Zi Lan felt a little less disappointed. After all, Mrs. Wen's words meant that she agreed to treat them both, although he could feel that he was probably in Shen Ziliu's favor.He already knew that Shen Ziliu was very popular with Mrs. Wen, and Shen Ziliu was indeed quite capable, so Zi Lan didn't mind too much.

Afterwards, Mrs. Wen gave each of them a black gold waist card, and was about to call a disciple to take them to familiarize themselves with the various parts of Wujian Peak, but saw a young disciple rushing in like a wind, and came straight to Mrs. Wen. Stepping forward, he hurriedly said: "Master, the Zhengyang sword has suddenly moved, please go and have a look!"

Mrs. Wen's face changed slightly when she heard the words, and she quickly got up and walked out, but stopped suddenly after taking two steps, turned her head and said to Shen Ziliu and Zi Lan who had already stood up, "Follow me."

The Zhengyang Sword is the first peak master of Wujian Peak, the natal spirit weapon of the ascended Zhengyang Immortal Venerable Duan Xihua. It is an epee that is longer and wider than ordinary swords. Duan Xihua left Zhengyang in the No sword peak.His great apprentice Lingyu Shangzun Fangcun did not use the Zhengyang sword after he succeeded him as the peak master, but built a square sword pavilion on the spot to protect the Zhengyang sword, leaving disciples to guard it at all times.

Afterwards, Fang Cun's tribulation failed and his body was destroyed. After his second apprentice Wen Fu became the third peak master of Wujian Peak, he also inherited the protection of Zhengyang Sword.It is said that the Zhengyang sword has been cultivated into a sword spirit with its own consciousness. In the past 300 years, there have been several sword cultivators above the Yuanying stage who wanted to inherit the Zhengyang sword, but they were all rejected by the Zhengyang sword.Afterwards, the Zhengyang Sword remained silent until today when there was a sudden change, so it was no wonder Mrs. Wen was so nervous.

A group of four hurried to the Jiange. Standing at the entrance of the Jiange, they could already see the position of the open-air sword platform surrounded by the Sifang Jiange, shrouded in a blue light.Mrs. Wen didn't stay at the door, and walked straight into the gate of Jiange. Shen Ziliu and Zi Lan hurriedly followed.

Passing through two winding corridors, the three of them walked out from a door in the Jiange, and the Zhengyang Sword shrouded in a dim light suddenly appeared in front of them.In the center of the open space on all sides is a huge boulder, part of which is buried underground, and the part exposed to the surface is half the height of a person.There is an epee obliquely inserted in the center of the boulder. Half of the pitch-black sword body is hidden in the boulder, while the exposed part emits dark blue light from time to time. The pattern will appear for a moment, the beauty is shocking.

Eight two-foot-high stone pillars were nailed around the boulder, and the stone pillars were connected by iron cables. On each stone pillar, there was a lingering brilliance stone.These eight stone pillars erected an invisible and solid barrier around the boulder, which was maintained by Mr. Wen himself.If a monk wants to enter the barrier and get close to the Zhengyang sword, he must first obtain Wen's permission, otherwise he will not even be able to pass through the barrier.

However, at this time, the barrier guarding the Zhengyang Sword seemed to have been hit by something, and cracks of different sizes appeared from time to time. Although the time was extremely short, it was still enough for people to take advantage of it.

Four Wujianfeng disciples were standing outside the barrier on one side, and pulled up another barrier, temporarily protecting the original barrier in it.

Wen Kang walked directly through the first barrier to the stone pillars, carefully looked at the spirit stones on several stone pillars, and found that there were tiny cracks on each spirit stone, and they were gradually expanding.

Mrs. Wen stood up straight and said to one of the disciples, "When did the barrier of the Zhengyang Sword start to have problems?"

While maintaining the spiritual power released on the enchantment, the disciple who was asked said, "Hui Rouqing Master, about half an hour ago."

Mrs. Wen asked again: "When did the change of the Zhengyang sword start?"

The disciple replied: "Shortly after there was a problem with the enchantment."

Half an hour ago, it was almost the time when Shen Ziliu and Zi Lan went up to Wujian Peak.

Mrs. Wen thoughtfully glanced at the two people standing outside the barrier, and suddenly said to the four disciples outside: "Put away the barrier first, I'm fine here, don't waste your spiritual power .”

The four disciples withdrew their spiritual energy and withdrew the barrier, and Mrs. Wen waved to Shen Ziliu and Zilan, saying, "Xiaoliu, Zilan, come here."

Shen Ziliu and Zilan looked at each other, and then they walked towards Mrs. Wen together.The closer they got to the Zhengyang Sword, the more they were shocked by the momentum of the Zhengyang Sword, and the more clearly they felt that there seemed to be a powerful and ready-to-move force in the sword.When the two of them reached the barrier surrounded by stone pillars, they immediately felt a gentle but firm force repelling them. Mrs. Wen reached out and tapped their foreheads lightly, and that force suddenly disappeared. .

Mrs. Wen signaled the two to go further in. As sword repairers, the two did not expect to have the opportunity to observe the Zhengyang Sword so closely so soon. They couldn't help being a little excited, but their steps became more cautious.When the two stood in front of the boulder, only two or three steps away from the Zhengyang sword, the light on the sword suddenly flickered so brightly that it was a bit dazzling under the sunlight.

Everyone was a little surprised, only Mrs. Wen stared and said calmly: "Do you have any special feeling? Is there any interference from any force?"

Shen Ziliu stared at Zhengyang Sword for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Not really."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Zi Lan, but saw that Zi Lan's eyes on Zhengyang Sword were not full of admiration and longing as he imagined, but complicated and hard to understand.

"Zilan?"

Hearing Shen Ziliu calling him, Zi Lan seemed to wake up suddenly, and the extremely complicated gaze just now disappeared in an instant, as if it was just an illusion of others.

He said to Mrs. Wen with a face of shame: "I'm sorry, Master Rouqing, the disciple was completely shocked by the beauty of the Zhengyang sword just now, and was a little distracted for a while..."

Mrs. Wen nodded understandingly, and said, "Then do you have any special feelings?"

Zi Lan shook her head regretfully, and said, "My disciple is stupid."

Before Zi Lan finished speaking, a gust of air suddenly rolled up around the boulder, directly hitting Shen Ziliu and Zi Lan.Mrs. Wen, who was standing next to the two, immediately felt that the air flow was very unusual, and couldn't help but look back at Zhengyang Sword. Just as he raised his hand to block the two who hadn't reacted yet, the air flow suddenly It disappeared as suddenly as when it first started.
