Chapter 121: Observing the Knife

Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered something and asked: "Master Sun, what is the cost of practicing the 'Demon Sword'?"

Sun Hewu had some of the usual problems of old scholars. When explaining a problem, he wanted to start from the beginning of the world. He said: "This goes back to before Song Zheng became famous. Like you, he did not have a prominent background and no family support, but he had the support of noble people. This noble man is Xu Wugui, the leader of Zhongdao Sect. Xu Zu has a debt of gratitude to Song Zheng for teaching and teaching. From this point of view, Song Zheng and Tantai Yun can still be regarded as half of Xuan Sheng. Because of this, there are many traces of Xu Zu's lineage in Song Zheng's knowledge. When he created the 'Magic Sword', he even referred to part of the 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin'."

Qi Xuansu asked again: "I remember that there was an ancient immortal who surrendered to the Taoist sect, named Taiyin Zhenjun, and the name of the 'Thirteen Taiyin Swords' also has the word 'Taiyin' in it. Are the two related?"

"There is a connection, but this 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin' is not the other 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin'." Sun Hewu said, stroking his beard.

Qi Xuansu became more and more puzzled: "How do you say this?"

Sun He realized: "The 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin' created by Zhenjun Taiyin was originally a Shinto technique that was driven by divine power. However, Xu Zutianzong, a genius, actually changed this technique into an Earth Immortal technique. The inherited technique, the 'Thirteen Taiyin Swords' inherited by our Taoist sect today is actually the 'Thirteen Taiyin Swords' modified by Xu Zu, not the original 'Thirteen Taiyin Swords' by Zhenjun Taiyin."

"So that's it." Qi Xuansu said clearly, "So, the 'Demon Sword' can also produce inner demons?"

Sun He realized: "That's not true. The inner demon of the 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin' lies in the last move, 'Sword Demon Comes from Me', also known as 'Inner Demon Comes from Me'. It is the most powerful and dangerous. If you can't get through it, , the demons in his heart will backfire, and he will turn into a sword slave puppet and make wedding clothes for others. If you gather enough thirteen sword slaves, you can form a 'Taiyin Sword Formation'. Song Zheng abandoned the sword slave part, so you don't have to worry about it. Being replaced by inner demons, if you use a weapon to control people, you have to be controlled by the sword in your hand. If it is an ordinary sword, it will be fine. Spiritual swords and precious swords all have spirituality, and their murderous power is far stronger than ordinary people. If the will is not strong, If you can let it go, you can't take it back. To put it in plain English, it's easy to get jealous and disown your relatives. "

Qi Xuansu thought for a moment and said, "If we use compassionate weapons that are not very lethal, can we offset this murderous nature?"

Sun Hewu sneered: "You can practice the 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin' without the inner demons, but the result is that you will miss the last move 'Sword Demon Born from Me' and cannot form a sword formation. How can you compete with the 'Cihang Pudu Sword Code'? If you If you are afraid of inner demons, wouldn't it be better to directly practice the 'Cihang Pudu Sword Code'? In the same way, the essence of the 'Demon Sword' lies in the murderous and crazy nature. If you suppress it directly with external force, then the 'Devil Sword' and What's the difference between the 'Dayan Spiritual Sword'? Wouldn't it be better for you to continue practicing the 'Dayan Spiritual Sword'?"

Qi Xuansu was left speechless and could only sincerely admit his mistake.

Sun Hewu then continued: "The reason why the 'Demon Sword' is less dangerous than the 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin' is because after the 'Demon Sword' loses control, it will only hurt others but not yourself. It will only slash at others, but He would not attack himself. This is probably related to the temperament of the founder. Song Zheng valued himself and put himself first in everything. Although Xu Zu only looked at the results and did not ask whether he was right or wrong, it was undeniable that he was a man of great courage. Fight with others and fight with yourself, and be willing to make a life out of ten thousand deaths.”

Qi Xuansu said: "Since the 'Thirteen Taiyin Swords' can subdue inner demons, I guess there is a way to curb the murderous nature of the 'Demon Sword'."

Sun Hewu said: "It's easy to say it's easy, but it's hard to say it's difficult. In addition to fighting with your own will, you can also use external forces to resolve it. This is much better than the inner demons of the 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin'. The inner demons can be sealed. It can also be removed by force, but it cannot be resolved. In the end, the 'Magic Sword' will be on your body. Otherwise, an outsider can help you. Isn't it true that you have a good relationship with Zhang Yuelu? If you go crazy, she can directly use the 'Heart Word Scroll' from the 'Cihang Pudu Sword Code' to help you regain your sanity."

Qi Xuansu always believed that it is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself, so he couldn't help but said: "What if she is not around?"

Sun Hewu touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Actually, there are other solutions, and that is the inheritance of ghosts and immortals. The alchemists have always been known for their clear spirit and the strongest will. Back then, Song Zheng was seriously injured by the ancestor of the Li family in the Yuxu sword fight. , his body was almost destroyed, and he had no choice but to switch from the Earth Immortal Path to the Ghost Immortal Path, and then used the secret skill "Demon Sword", and he was able to retract and release it freely, better than before. Even though he later had a deeper cultivation level, the Ghost Immortal The path also played an important role, but it is a pity that Song Zheng died and could not leave a few words. The specific reasons cannot be verified..."

Qi Xuansu's eyes lit up.

Isn’t he the path to ghost and immortality?

Sun Hewu scratched his head, as if he was a little annoyed because he couldn't figure out the secret of Song Zheng's "Magic Sword", and then he turned his anger on Qi Xuansu and scolded: "You think about these things before you even get started. This is the attitude you should have when studying. Is this a down-to-earth attitude? Young people must not aim too high. They must settle down, take one step at a time, be down-to-earth, and be diligent..."

Qi Xuansu had no intention of contradicting a highly respected old scholar. The key was that he had to accept requests from others and could only accept them.

Halfway through Sun Hewu's words, he felt that it was outrageous to anger a junior. He blushed slightly and waved his hand: "Go and see for yourself. I'm right next door to you. If you don't understand anything, come and ask me."

After that, regardless of Qi Xuansu's reaction, he went straight out.

Qi Xuansu turned around and looked at the densely packed words on the wall, first looking at the original part of "Magic Knife".

It was unknown who carved these words, and the writing style was very different from the calligraphy in the world, and the strokes were quite unusual. In theory, each stroke should be from top to bottom and from left to right, although the hook is from top to bottom and the curved stroke is from right to left, but they are all oblique rather than straight. There are many straight strokes from bottom to top and from right to left in the words on the wall, which are often completely opposite to the calligraphy style and are extremely clumsy.

At a glance, Qi Xuansu saw that some strokes looked like a long knife, and there were hundreds of them.

These knife shapes were either horizontal or vertical, or left or right, which were the most basic knife-drawing moves, and then they were constantly arranged and combined. In the eyes of people who don't know how to use a knife, it was just a stroke in a word, but Qi Xuansu saw a long and short knife, some with the tip facing up, some facing down, some slanting up to fly, and some sweeping horizontally to fall.

Qi Xuansu immediately immersed himself in it, looking at the knives one by one. At first, he didn't feel anything. When he saw the ninth knife, he suddenly felt a figure in the text, holding a knife in his hand, rushing towards him.

Qi Xuansu was startled, and subconsciously used his palm instead of the knife to meet the figure.

To others, it was just Qi Xuansu who was performing the "Dayan Spirit Knife" alone, and there was no figure at all. Qi Xuansu felt that it was extremely dangerous, as if the sharp knife force was actually attacking his body, and his skin seemed to be cut open. The physique of the Return to True Martial Arts was actually vulnerable.

To be fair, this knife intent was not very swift, that is, the level of the Return to True Stage, but it wandered around wantonly, and the killing intent was directed at all the weaknesses and flaws of Qi Xuansu's body, using the gap without thickness to forcibly strip away Qi Xuansu's body-protecting true qi.

In short, three words are enough to summarize it: fast, accurate, and ruthless, without any false moves. It was so fast that people had no way to react; it was so accurate that the enemy would be saved; it was so cruel that he fought with his life, exchanged injuries for injuries, and injured the enemy a thousand times while injuring himself eight hundred times.

Qi Xuansu saw such a sword technique for the first time, and he was fully focused. His hand knife changed dozens of directions in an instant, but the figure didn't care how many ways he came, he just went one way, breaking through the illusion and hitting the flaw of Qi Xuansu's sword. Qi Xuansu felt that his sword collapsed in an instant under this attack, and he was horrified. He wanted to remedy it, but it was too late. He was hit by several swords in a row, which clearly had no substance, but like Qi Xuansu's "ghost sword", it caused wounds as thin as red lines to appear on his body.

This reminded Qi Xuansu, he stretched out his hand and grabbed, pulled out his "ghost sword", used "innate divine calculation", and met the figure again.

However, Qi Xuansu's "Innate Divine Calculation" was just a beginner's skill. Facing the figure, it actually limited itself. The figure slashed and chopped around more than a dozen times in a row. It seemed aimless, but each knife blocked Qi Xuansu's path, making Qi Xuansu extremely uncomfortable and unable to use it.

Qi Xuansu had to give up the half-baked "Innate Divine Calculation" and slowed down the knife in his hand. The figure suddenly came forward. Qi Xuansu was shocked and condensed the "ghost knife" and held it horizontally in front of him. However, he didn't expect that a line of knife power and murderous intent condensed into a line, which seemed to be there and not there, through the "ghost knife", and pierced directly into Qi Xuansu's chest.

Qi Xuansu felt that his eyes were black and his blood was rolling. He couldn't help but scream and fell backwards.

In an instant, Qi Xuansu's eyes became clear again, and there was no half of the figure.

Qi Xuansu sat up and looked at the words on the wall again. He couldn't help but say: "What a powerful knife."
