Chapter 132 Two True Meanings

The two swords clashed, and Qi Xuansu fought fiercely with a sword-wielding figure whose face could not be seen clearly.

The figure held a simple long sword, and Qi Xuansu used his "Fei Ying" as usual. Apart from the sword moves, neither side used any other magical skills. The sword energy was crisscrossed, and the murderous aura was soaring.

Suddenly, the figure used a move of leaving the hand sword, and the simple long sword in his hand stabbed towards Qi Xuansu's face like a flying sword. Qi Xuansu leaned back suddenly, and with the support of a warrior's physique, his waist and back almost bent into a right angle, barely dodging the sword.

But the figure's skills were not limited to this. Although the sword had left his hand, as he pressed his right hand down, the sword that left his hand also chopped down, as if it was still held in his hand.

Qi Xuansu could only dodge the sword with a rather embarrassing roll, and then rushed towards the figure like an arrow from a string.

Since it was the "Devil's Knife", it was naturally not afraid of exchanging injuries for injuries. The figure did not dodge or evade, but just stretched out his hand and pulled, and the knife that left his hand turned around and stabbed directly at Qi Xuansu's back.

The next moment, the knife that left his hand stabbed Qi Xuansu through, but Qi Xuansu also stabbed the "Fei Ying" in his hand into the opponent's heart.

Qi Xuansu suddenly woke up, still in the stone chamber full of words.

Now it was June 20th, and Qi Xuansu finally read the entire text of the "Devil's Knife", that is, he survived ninety-nine knives. However, Qi Xuansu was not able to take on ninety-nine knives completely every time.

About every ten times, Qi Xuansu could win once, die together twice, and die under the opponent's knife seven times.

Many times, whether Qi Xuansu could pass the level depended on luck. Sometimes he was in a very good state, and he won by luck with a flash of inspiration. Sometimes he was in a bad state, or he was timid, or he was impatient and reckless, or he was lucky, and he would be cut down by the knife. If you are careless and distracted, you may lose as soon as you meet.

In any case, Qi Xuansu finally got a glimpse of the outline of the "Demon Knife", just like a child reading a book, no matter how bumpy it is, he finally reads it.

In this process, Qi Xuansu understood the first true meaning of the "Demon Knife", that is, killing. In a sense, Qi Xuansu has not made much progress in his moves after practicing the knife for so many days, but more in his thoughts, breaking many constraints, and even a little bit of the meaning of a thought.

Killing with all means, the most extreme killing.

Since you can read the whole text, the next step is to understand the true meaning word by word according to the annotations. At this stage, Qi Xuansu will ask Sun Hewu for advice.

Sun Hewu reads in the stone room next to Qi Xuansu most of the time, so it is not a big deal to ask him for advice.

Qi Xuansu sits cross-legged, with the knife on his knees, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, recovering the energy and spirit that he has just lost.

At this moment, Sun Hewu walked in with his hands behind his back.

Qi Xuansu opened his eyes and was about to stand up to salute, but Sun Hewu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, there are only two of us, so there is no need for these empty formalities."

As he spoke, Sun Hewu came to the bottom of the stone wall engraved with the original text of "Demon Knife", looked up at these words that made Qi Xuansu suffer a lot, but was not affected at all.

This is also reasonable. After all, it is just the text left by the predecessors, not the predecessors' personal demonstration. Even if it contains true meaning, it is impossible for a senior celestial being to be unable to resist.

"Do you know who engraved this text?" Sun Hewu suddenly asked.

Qi Xuansu thought about it carefully and it must not be Song Zheng, because Song Zheng was dead. He hesitated and said, "Could it be the female emperor Tan Taiyun?"

"When the Wanxiang Academy was rebuilt into the Wanxiang Dao Palace, Tan Taiyun had already gone to the Western Regions. How could she appear here?" Sun Hewu shook his head.

Without waiting for Qi Xuansu to continue guessing, he gave the answer directly: "It was dictated by the first generation of Quanzhen Dao Great Immortal Master Shangguan, and the first Grand Master Ning, the Grand Master of the Palace, personally engraved it. There are also these annotations, which were left by Grand Master Ning, all of which are his experience."

Qi Xuansu is a person who is proficient in Xuansheng tablets, and is familiar with these ancestors. Grand Master Shangguan is the geomancer Shangguan Wan who married into the Zhang family, and Grand Master Ning is the Great Immortal Ning Yi who founded the Wanxiang Dao Palace.

Sun Hewu continued: "Grand Master Shangguan was very close to Song Zheng in the past, and even agreed with Song Zheng and the abandoned Tianshi Zhang Jingchen to oppose Xuansheng together, but later Zhang Jingchen and Song Zheng were suppressed by Xuansheng one after another, and only Grand Master Shangguan repented and became Xuansheng's right-hand man. This is probably the reason why Grand Master Shangguan knew the 'Demon Knife' technique. Of course, this is just my speculation, and there is no clear record. There is another point that I have never figured out. Song Zheng has two great methods, one is the 'Demon Knife' and the other is It is the 'Eternal Su Nu Sutra', and the 'Demon Knife' fell into the hands of the Shangguan Patriarch, but the 'Eternal Su Nu Sutra' was circulated in the Qingqiu Mountain lineage of the Taiping Dao. I have never heard of any relationship between Song Zheng and Qingqiu Mountain. It is really strange. "

Speaking of this, Sun Hewu felt that he had spoken out of turn, and added: "This is all before Xuansheng integrated the five major inheritances. After Xuansheng integrated the inheritances, everyone can learn it, and it doesn't matter which inheritance it is. "

Qi Xuansu said: "I remember that Patriarch Ning is also a master of swordsmanship. "

"Exactly." Sun Hewu nodded and said, "At that time, there was a saying that there were three swords in the world. The 'Heaven Sword' was Emperor Gaozu, the 'Demon Sword' was Song Zheng, and Patriarch Ning was the 'Blood Sword'. , once wiped out most of the horse thieves in the Western Region with one sword. You can imagine how many people he killed. Even Song Zheng, who was known as the "Magic Sword", was not as good as him. Many times, people think that Song Zheng killed more people just because. There were more famous people who died under his sword, and if you include the unknown people, it was Patriarch Ning who was even more likely to die."

Qi Xuansu said: "If we talk about killing people, the 'Tiandao' will not kill many people by himself. But when the world is wiped out, the soldiers will point to corpses everywhere. If these are included, I am afraid that the two of them combined may not be able to compare." Pass the 'Heavenly Sword'."

"Perhaps." Sun Hewu had no intention of getting too entangled in this matter, "The 'Demon Sword' you are learning at this time is actually the 'Demon Sword' improved by Patriarch Ning. It incorporates his own insights and makes up for the 'Devil Sword'. Some of the flaws of the sword, but the true meaning of this text is also left by Patriarch Ning. Since you have withstood the ninety-nine swords in front of you, do you want to see Patriarch Ning use the sword himself? "

Qi Xuansu did not hesitate and said directly: "Of course I do."

Sun Hewu smiled and said: "Master Ning is the path to the earthly immortal. When you practice your Qi to a high level, you can transform all things with Qi. Back then, Grandmaster Shangguan visited the Wanxiang Taoist Palace and discussed Taoism with Grandmaster Ning. Not only did he leave the 'Taiyin Ten' in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, "Three Swords" and "Magic Sword" once had a duel with Patriarch Ning, and used their true energy to transform the illusion, which was passed down to future generations. "

"In this battle, Patriarch Shangguan used the 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin' known as the 'Devil Sword', and Patriarch Ning used the 'Demon Sword', the Demon Sword versus the Demon Sword. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Xuansu noticed that the scene in front of him changed. There were two more figures, one man and one woman. The man was holding a knife and the woman was bare-handed.

These are the two ancestors Sun Hewu mentioned.

The woman spread her hands and thrust her ten fingers into the void beside her. The two palms seemed to disappear out of thin air. When she retracted them, she pulled out ten thin Yin Fire swords from the void and attacked the man. Wherever the fire passed, the space was violently distorted, making the woman's figure blurred.

The man slashed and slashed in all directions with more than a dozen swords, seemingly aimlessly, but he caught all ten swords.

The woman's figure is erratic, and the ten yin fire swords are erratic, bending and stretching, changing unpredictably.

The two of them fought faster and faster. Suddenly, the man's hand turned into a pair of swords. The swords became more and more chaotic, and the murderous intention increased to a higher level. The swords even moved before the man moved. Ten long swords of Yinfire were allowed to move. No matter how he changed, he couldn't break through the net formed by the two long knives.

Qi Xuansu had never practiced the "Thirteen Taiyin Swords", so naturally he could not understand the mystery of the magic sword. He was completely immersed in the man's sword moves, and all unnecessary emotions were forgotten.

The man's sword moves not only allowed Qi Xuansu to fully experience the momentum of the "Magic Sword", but even allowed him to feel part of the power of the "Magic Sword".

When Patriarch Ning drew his sword, Qi Xuansu's eyes felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, with blood clouds above and sea of ​​blood below, corpses strewn across the field, and rolling murderous intent impacting his mind.

For a moment, the "Magic Sword" practiced by Qi Xuansu resonated with it, and he couldn't help but hold "Feiying". He followed the movement of the sword and swung it wildly, like a gust of wind and rain. It seemed chaotic, but it was directed at all kinds of things. flaw. Although the paths are different, they reach the same destination as the "Heavenly Sword", intertwining a killing net.

But facing the real "magic sword", the flaws Qi Xuansu saw were actually traps. For a moment, Qi Xuansu only felt that ninety-nine consecutive knives fell on him, passing through his clothes and not damaging the clothes or other dead objects at all, but the knives penetrated the bones and ripped open the skin.

The next moment, all the illusions disappeared, and Qi Xuansu woke up as if from a dream, but the ninety-nine stab wounds on his body did not disappear. It can be said that the truth is also false when it is fake, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false, but believing is true.

"What a terrifying 'magic knife'." It took Qi Xuansu a while to come back to his senses.

The sword just now was not executed by Patriarch Ning himself. It was essentially an illusion, and there was no excessive suppression of realm cultivation. Furthermore, Patriarch Ning's "magic sword" was not aimed at Qi Xuansu, but was mainly used to deal with Grandmaster Shangguan's "sword". "The devil is born of me", but after Qi Xuansu resonated with it, he couldn't help but draw the sword. The result was that the authentic "magic sword" rebounded and he was defeated immediately. It was not even a head-on confrontation. If we use four words to describe it, it would be "a mantis' arm acting as a cart", which has no impact on the carriage's forward movement.

However, Qi Xuansu did not want to defeat the illusion of the ancestor, but wanted to gain something.

Sun Hewu asked: "Do you have any insights?"

Qi Xuansu recalled the resonance he had just felt and asked with some hesitation: "The second true meaning of the 'Devil Sword' is to kill to stop killing?"

Sun Hewu smiled and said: "You can teach children, this is the true meaning of Zhi Ge."
