Chapter 277: Become a Disciple of Chaoyin Pavilion
The name of Chaoyin Pavilion is very loud.
It is a bit like the meaning of the Eight Directions Chaoyin Association Tanzhou.
In fact, this sword sect is only the ninth grade. If it drops further, it will be out of the mainstream. Without a grade, it must give up the dojo, and the plaque of the sword sect must be removed. All disciples must either follow the new sword sect or go far away and leave Chaoyin Town.
It is so cruel!
These sword sects under Tiandu Mountain organize sword fights all year round, or the mountain issues the Tiandu Sword Order to recruit sword sect disciples to participate in the trial. If they fail for many years and exceed a certain limit, they will be demoted. If they cannot keep their grade, the sword sect will be forcibly disbanded.
Sword!
It is a murder weapon!
Life and death are all between a sword!
Ominous, unlucky, unkind, unkind...
What is stopping war with a sword?
In this world, the true meaning of swordsmanship is not like this.
The meaning of the existence of a sword is to transcend, transcend the lives of others, and at the same time, transcend oneself. Once on the sword fighting stage, it is a life-and-death duel. If you can't crush the opponent, if you are evenly matched, you will struggle between life and death.
The winner stands, and the loser falls.
It has always been like this!
Fifty years ago, Chaoyin Pavilion was still a sixth-grade sword gate.
You must know that in these small towns at the foot of Tiandu Mountain, the sixth-grade sword gate is already the top existence. If you cross the sixth grade and become the fifth grade, you can move to the mountain, which will be a different situation.
For the sword gate, there is a huge difference between the outside of the mountain and the inside of the mountain.
It is actually very simple to enter the mountain from the outside of the mountain. As long as a person who climbs the sword pavilion comes from a sword sect outside the mountain, has built a foundation in that sword sect, and has developed a clear sword heart, then this sect will be recruited into the mountain.
Even if it is a ninth-grade, it will jump to the fifth grade.
It sounds simple, but it is actually as difficult as ascending to heaven.
For thousands of years, there are only a few families.
Fifty years ago, although Chaoyin Pavilion was a sixth-grade sword gate, no great figure had ever appeared in the ancestors.
Jianmen could only stay outside the mountain.
The sky waxes and wanes!
It is hard to predict the fortunes and disasters of people!
The same is true for sword sects.
Fifty years ago, Chaoyin Pavilion was at its peak and dominated several small towns within a thousand miles.
Unexpectedly, first the expedition to Liangjie Mountain destroyed the elite swordsmen, and when the time was short, they received the death trial and the whole army was annihilated. To make matters worse, the old enemies came to challenge, and several good players died on the sword fighting stage.
Fifty years passed quickly, and it fell to the ninth grade.
Now, Jianmen has only a few people struggling to support it, just like a shaky house, which will collapse instantly if it encounters a strong wind.
Falling to the ninth grade will also lose the signboard.
The black and white swords are all aware of the above situation. It is precisely because they know the current situation of Chaoyin Pavilion that they decided to come here.
If they had come to Tiandu Mountain at the beginning, they would naturally not choose Chaoyin Pavilion.
However, they have been at the foot of the mountain for about a month, and have been rejected by the eight sword gates, so their spirits have long been not so high.
The reasons for rejection are varied, but in fact, they can be summarized into one point.
The black and white swords are a bit old, and Jian Yibai is nearly fifty years old. As a real person of the Earth Demon, he is still young. If he practices swordsmanship, it is too late.
The black and white swords are swordsmen themselves. Why do you say that?
It is precisely because they are swordsmen themselves, they have already established rules in their hearts, they are old, and they have already turned into real people. It is very difficult to change their ways and start over. It can be said that there is basically no chance to achieve a clear sword heart.
If you can't achieve a clear sword heart, you can't even do the most basic things of a swordsman. What's the point of staying?
Be a thug?
There is no need at the foot of Tiandu Mountain.
Therefore, the black and white swords hit a wall again and again and could not enter the sword gate to practice.
As for Nie Wushuang, who goes by the pseudonym Nie Feng and looks like Yi Mian, he now looks to be in his twenties, not the original seventeen or eighteen years old.
A twenty-year-old internal force martial artist knows nothing about swordsmanship.
Speaking of which, the purpose of Jianmen is to teach everyone. In fact, because of limited human resources, teaching skills to apprentices also requires energy and delays one's own practice time, so Jianmen is actually quite strict about accepting apprentices.
The four words "the law is not easily passed on" can also be applied here.
Basically, they will only recruit teenagers under the age of thirteen who have excellent talent for swordsmanship. As for their identities and origins, they are indeed unimportant.
What is important is the aptitude and talent!
Without the aptitude and talent for swordsmanship, it is difficult to get started.
It is reasonable that Nie Wushuang and the black and white swords were rejected.
This is also the reason why they came to Chaoyin Pavilion to worship after knowing that the qualification of Chaoyin Pavilion's ninth-grade sword gate was shaky. It is precisely because everyone knows that Chaoyin Pavilion is difficult to exist, so talented teenagers will not come here.
If no one chooses...
There is a saying that when you are desperate, you will try any medicine.
Or, Chaoyin Pavilion would not refuse them.
However, Nie Wushuang and the Black and White Swords seemed to have come at the wrong time. When they came to the magnificent archway of Chaoyin Pavilion, there was a commotion in the sword practice field of Chaoyin Pavilion, but no one was outside.
"Is anyone there?"
Jian Yibai shouted twice.
There was still commotion inside, but no one responded.
"Brother Nie?"
Jian Yibai looked at Nie Wushuang and asked.
At first, Nie Wushuang wanted to go south with the Black and White Swords.
To be honest, Jian Yibai was reluctant, but he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he nodded in agreement.
At first, he just regarded Nie Wushuang as a follower.
It's not that he despises him, but he doesn't take him seriously either. When something happens, he rarely asks for his opinion. He always makes a decision and lets Nie Wushuang do it.
Along the way, it's inevitable that there will be problems.
Sometimes trouble comes to him, and sometimes the black and white swords are not satisfied with it and take the initiative to find trouble for the sake of justice in their hearts.
Dangers are inevitable.
However, every time he can turn danger into safety and survive.
Luck?
Maybe?
However, whether it's Jian Yibai or Tao Xuanyi, although they act straightforwardly and like to do what is right, they are not stupid. They have basic common sense and rich experience in the martial arts world, so they will inevitably have some ideas.
Later, they would ask Nie Wushuang's opinion like now, and coming to Chaoyin Pavilion was the result of the three people's discussion.
No longer treat him as a dispensable person.
"Go in."
Nie Wushuang said.
The three of them walked under the tall archway, walked in through the open door, and came to the sword practice field.
Inside the dojo, there were two groups of people on the left and right facing each other.
There were fewer people on the left, wearing white shirts and black belts, with long hair tied with a scarf. They were obviously at a disadvantage, and almost no one spoke, staring at each other angrily.
There were more people on the right, also in uniform, with green robe sleeves and golden silk lines in between, like auspicious clouds, and they pressed forward step by step.
This was what Nie Wushuang and the other two saw when they came in.
After the three came in, neither group noticed.
"Hello, everyone!"
Nie Wushuang stepped forward, a bit like Brother Haonan, and asked coolly.
"Excuse me, who should I look for to get started?"
