Too Reckless

  Ten years of ascetic practice no one asked, and became famous in the world.

  The two discussions on the Swords Worship Platform have just ended. The alias 'Jiuzongjiankui', representing the strongest swordsman of the younger generation, appeared in the public eye for the first time, and it was spread far and wide in a short time. The major sects in the realm have even spread to Central Continent.

  Cultivation is about longevity, and killing is not advocated, but dignity is only above the sword's edge, and superior combat power is the basis for ensuring that one can live and seek longevity.

  Therefore, in the final analysis, the cultivation way is still a world where the strong are respected; all beings walking on the cultivation way naturally worship the strong.

  After this battle, Zuo Lingquan finally became a monk with a name and a surname, and it was considered that he had achieved the first small goal of his life and was no longer looked down by the people on the mountain.

  For Zuo Lingquan, this kind of achievement is just the beginning of gaining a firm foothold in this world; but for ordinary people, it is already the pinnacle that they can't even imagine.

  Outside the Worshiping Sword Platform, thousands of cultivators gathered on the street, watching Zuo Lingquan, who had just made a name for himself, walk out of the octagonal gatehouse.

  Jiang Yi stood among the crowd, her eyes were full of small stars, but when she saw Zuo Lingquan looking over, she quickly put away her adoring expression, and acted like the eldest princess should be 'pampered and not shocked'.

  The cultivators on the street were crowded with water, and although no masters had the nerve to open their mouths to accept apprentices, there was an endless stream of people who cheered and praised them for trying to make friends.

  The most numerous of them are the nine female cultivators, ranging from young beauties of fourteen or five to enchanting fairies of four or five hundred years old, all vying to strike up a conversation with each other, and even those who are bold even take a three-point provocation; Speaking of Zuo Lingquan's fight, he directly played the nine supreme mate selection rights.

   Jiang Yi saw this scene, her heart was sour, but there were so many women on the street that she was too embarrassed to come to Zuo Lingquan mainly because she was afraid of being stabbed to death by those women with jealous eyes .

  Therefore, Jiang Yi just walked behind the crowd, waiting for Zuo Lingquan to get away.

  Zuo Lingquan was also a little bit overwhelmed by the grand occasion of 'throwing fruit into the car'; but he couldn't fly, so he couldn't finish the sword fight like a real sword fairy, and could only walk on the ground .

  Faced with the politeness of many unfamiliar monks, Zuo Lingquan didn't want to offend people with a cold face.

  Fortunately, people in the practice also know the proportions, but they are just watching along the way, and they are not entangled in the back.

  After Zuo Lingquan entered the Baili Market in the Iron River Valley, there were fewer onlookers. He took the opportunity to turn into a Xianjia shop and was about to leave through the back door; then he thought that he was blackmailed by the shopkeeper's son and dragged him to write a plaque, and then he was able to escape.

  The alley behind the street was sparse, and the white snow dyed the alley and the walls on both sides white.

   Zuo Lingquan waited in the alley for a while, then Jiang Yi ran over with her skirt in hand.

  I ran fast. There was a layer of snow in the alley. When I stepped on my embroidered shoes, I made a 'chacha' sound. My chest was trembling.

  But after seeing him, Jiang Yi quickly stopped, tidied the hair around her ears, and then came to the front:

  "No one is following, go back."

   Zuo Lingquan took the limelight, naturally showing a look of taking credit in front of his daughter-in-law, holding Jiang Yi's hand and saying:

  "Princess, how did I behave just now?"

   Jiang Yi was fascinated just now, if it weren't for the crowd, she might have jumped up.

  But she glanced at Zuo Lingquan and found that Zuo Lingquan wanted to show off to her, so she made the appearance of the superior admonishing the subordinate, and said plainly:

   "It's alright, we have to make persistent efforts in a few days, don't take credit for it."

   Zuo Lingquan was naturally dissatisfied when he heard such official words:

  "Just okay?"

  “…”

  Jiang Yi didn't know why, but after last night, she was a little afraid of Zuo Lingquan, and she couldn't be fierce if she wanted to. She pursed her lips and changed her mouth:

  "Performed well, but it's not at your highest level yet, and you have to keep working hard."

   Zuo Lingquan was satisfied and smiled:

   "If you work hard and have motivation, why won't Her Royal Highness reward me as a great hero? I've made a lot of face for the entire Great Dan and Xihuang Valley."

  Jiang Yi actually wants to reward Zuo Lingquan, but she has almost nothing in the practice, so she can't give Zuo Lingquan the honorary title or reward a few beautiful concubines like in the secular world.

   "What can I do for you... Do you want to owe it first? I'll supply you later when I get better."

  Zuo Lingquan shook his head slightly, hugged Jiang Yi's waist, and slipped his hand down a little dishonestly:

   "Being a daughter-in-law, it's not easy to reward your husband. If the princess really has this intention, there are ways."

  Jiang Yi was first in personnel, but after all, she was still a little green. She couldn't stand this kind of frivolity, so she slapped Zuo Lingquan with her elbow:

  "Outside, don't mess around...what do you want in return?"

  Zuo Lingquan wants to work hard for three days.

  But such vulgar words really do not meet the identity of a peerless swordsman, he smiled and said:

   "I'm very tired from fighting today. I want to go back and have a good rest. With such a beautiful snow scene, we sit in the small building together and enjoy the snow together. It should be very artistic."

  Jiang Yi glanced at it and felt that the snow scene in the alley was really beautiful, she nodded and said:

  "I'll just watch it with you, but what kind of reward is this?"

  "Look for three days, don't go out, obey me, is it alright?"? ?

  Jiang Yi has never seen the danger on the bed, so she didn't think about it, she actually wanted to reluctantly agree to it. But she thought about it and shook her head:

  "I'm afraid it won't work in three days. I just contacted my aunt and the others. The three of them, and the dumplings, were very excited. They said that they would come over to watch the fun, and they should be there in the afternoon."

   Zuo Lingquan heard these words and dismissed the idea of ​​​​working for three days; but for some reason, the scene of Jiang Yi and Qingwan lying side by side appeared in his mind.

  However, this kind of immoral thing cannot be done at present, and it can only be thought about.

   Zuo Lingquan chuckled lightly: "It's time to call them, go and pick them up."

   Jiang Yi nodded slightly and walked along the alley with Zuo Lingquan.

   It was just that the two of them walked a few steps, and a shadow fell from above and stopped in front of the two of them.

  Zuo Lingquan subconsciously touched the hilt of the sword, looked up, but saw Shangguan Lingye landed in front of him.

  Shangguan Lingye wore a golden phoenix dress that was incompatible with monks. Although she was not afraid of the cold, she still had a shawl on her shoulders on a snowy day, looking gorgeous and graceful.

   "Senior Ling Ye (the emperor's concubine)?"

  The two were slightly surprised.

  Shangguan Lingye's expression was as calm as ever, full of ladylikeness, and came to the two of them:

  "I didn't bother you, did you?"

  Jiang Yi was still holding Zuo Lingquan, her face flushed at this time, and she quickly released her hand:

   "No... um, why are you here, Lady Concubine?"

  Shangguan Lingye smiled friendly, took out a unicorn paperweight from his arms, and handed it to Jiang Yi:

   "I'm going to come over and have a look, I just heard you say that you want to pick up someone, use my boat to pick them up, it's more convenient."

   Jiang Yi and Zuo Lingquan had this intention, but they were embarrassed to borrow a boat. Seeing that Shangguan Lingye took the initiative to speak, Jiang Yi hurriedly took over the Kirin paperweight that was controlling the painting boat:

   "It's really bothering the concubine."

  "What's the trouble with your hands? If you're embarrassed, you can help me deal with the files of the Demon Hunting Division, and they're all on the boat."?

  Jiang Yi came to the Iron River Valley, thinking that she could 'steal her life for half a day', but she still did not get rid of the fate of being a free labor force.

  It's all said and done, what can Jiang Yi say? She smiled and nodded:

  "No problem, let's go first."

   Said and wanted to pick up people with Zuo Lingquan.

  But Shangguan Lingye showed up, obviously not just to borrow a boat, she said again:

   "Just pick someone up and go alone. Zuo Lingquan still has to fight in the ring and needs to rest. I'll take him to the Iron Arrow Mansion to find a place to practice and settle down. You can come over later."? ?

   Jiang Yi felt a little wrong when she heard this.

   Throw all the work into her arms, then put her away, and take her man out for a walk...

  How do I feel a little useless...

  It's just that these words are just thinking about in my heart. Jiang Yi knows the identity of Shangguan Lingye, and she should just want to arrange a practice place for Zuo Lingquan. She nodded and said:

  "Thank you, Empress Dowager, I'll go back to the capital first."

  Shangguan Lingye nodded slightly.

   The painting boat is very safe to travel back and forth, Zuo Lingquan didn't say much about this, and after sending Jiang Yi to the ferry, he returned with Shangguan Lingye...——

  The lively event of the Sword Worshiping Platform ended, the Iron Arrow Mansion was cleared, the huge square outside the sect gate disappeared, and only snowflakes fell silently.

  Two figures walked side by side in the vast snow-colored square, with two long footprints extending behind them.

  Shangguan Lingye looked at the sect where she lived as a child, and recalled the past a hundred years ago, she was a little lost, and she didn't say much the whole way.

  Zuo Lingquan refused Shangguan Lingye's invitation to drink and enjoy the snow last night, which was a bit unreasonable.

  "Senior Lingye, last night..."

   "It's okay. You and Jiang Yilang are in love with each other. It's really not good to disturb you at night; it's because I'm used to living alone, and I forgot the time of ordinary people's work and rest."

   "Senior Sister Li is fine."

  Shangguan Lingye turned his head and looked at the sword worship platform in the distance:

  "You performed well today. You are bigger than when I first appeared. The elders of the nine sects are all dumbfounded."

  Zuo Lingquan heard that Shangguan Lingye was very powerful back then, and smiled modestly:

   "Outsiders say that Senior Ling Ye is a venerable lord, and his appearance must be bigger than me, how could he be inferior to me."

  "Before I joined the Nine Sects Association, I was already invincible by my peers, no matter how good my performance was, no one would be surprised; you didn't have a reputation before, so having this record would naturally cause a bigger shock than me. , you can't support three moves under my hands, this time it's a good time for you."

  “…”

  I thought I was complimenting me, but I was complimenting myself for a long time... Zuo Lingquan said with suspicion:

  "In front of Lingye, under the same circumstances, is there such a big gap?"

  Shangguan Lingye talked about this, and his clear eyes showed three points of pride:

  "You are just a mortal man, without any talent of your own, and your level is all achieved by personal effort; and I am a reward for food, and I don't put in less effort than you, it is inevitable to be better than you. Sometimes, God also It's not fair to everyone."

  Zuo Lingquan has never relied on God, so God is unfair, it doesn't matter to him, nodded and said:

  "Then I will try to catch up with the seniors as soon as possible."

  "You first beat Jiuzong Qingkui to the ground; you have already leaked the bottom line today, it is difficult to defeat Hyacinth and Shang Siming, and if you encounter Wolong in Central Continent, I am afraid there is no chance of winning. God is a sparring partner for you, so you can hone your match-up skills, so that when you play this way, your chances of winning will be better.”

  Whether in the rivers and lakes or in the practice of Taoism, feeding tricks by an expert is a great gift that cannot be sought. Zuo Lingquan quickly cupped his hands and said:

   "How embarrassing, I don't even know how to thank Senior Ling Ye for being so kind."

  Shangguan Lingye raised the corner of his mouth, and the fox's tail also leaked out:

   "You don't need to thank me. Today I asked Jiuzong for the lottery. When you win, you can share a few percent with me. We don't owe each other."

  Shangguan Lingye served as a sparring coach to help win, and according to the rules, he could have paid dividends; and if it wasn't for Shangguan Lingye's lavish spending today, there would not be so many lucky draws. Zuo Lingquan was naturally cheerful about this:

  "It's natural, if we win, we'll get three or seven points in the lottery..."

  Shangguan Lingye politely said: "I'm just a sparring partner, how can I take 70% and let outsiders know that I'm bullying the younger generation, five or five?"?

  Zuo Lingquan looked at the beautiful woman in palace dress, these words flashed in his mind subconsciously, he nodded with a smile:

   "Then according to what the goddess said, as long as you can get the lottery, you should be 70% filial to the goddess."

   After speaking, she subconsciously glanced at the line of her buttocks, presumably to relieve the pain in her heart.

  I have to say that Shangguan Lingye's waist-hip curve is perfect.

  Shangguan Lingye walked in front, unaware of Zuo Lingquan's eyes that were immediately closed, walked across the square, thought about it and said strangely:

   "Just now, you were at the Sword Worship Platform. After you finished the fight, you didn't look quite right. It seemed like you had a wave in your heart. What's going on?"

  Cultivation practitioners must keep their hearts as still as water, in order to 'the mind of the Tao is like iron', the stagnation in the heart is more terrifying than being seriously injured. The most notable example is that the old Lu Xinjie could not be solved. Longevity Avenue.

   When Shangguan Lingye asked about this, he really cared, and his eyes were placed on Zuo Lingquan's face.

  Zuo Lingquan and Shangguan Lingye also shared weal and woe, enjoyed the wine together, and saw Shangguan Lingye's red cherries; he couldn't say he was a confidant, but he was indeed a friend, and he didn't hide it, he explained:

   "Although Li Chusun lost, his sword was terrifying and outrageous. I have never seen such a strong swordsmanship since I practiced swordsmanship. Although I haven't mastered it yet, I can I feel that it is terrifying to practice that sword to the peak, not much worse than my sword."

  It is not the first time that Zuo Lingquan saw that 'Jian Yi' was outside Qingyun City before. It did not show the power of that sword; this time Li Chusun, although he only touched the threshold, the swordsmanship shown is indeed the strongest person Zuo Lingquan has ever seen.

  Shangguan Lingye saw Zuo Lingquan frowning and said softly:

   "Li Chusun uses 'Lianyun', which was created by Venerable Qingdu. The idea is to make the most swords in the shortest time, and when you reach the state of Venerable Qingdu, you can use a hundred swords in an instant. Ten thousand times, there is nothing under the same realm that can block it, so 'one sword breaks all methods', called 'jian one', is indeed comparable to your sword."

  Zuo Lingquan has studied kendo for more than ten years, and his understanding of kendo is higher than that of Shangguan Lingye, and he has already seen the way. He sighed and said:

  "The original intention of my swordsmanship was to become the 'strongest sword in the world'; I thought I had already mastered it, but when I met Li Chusun, I found out that there are actually people whose swordsmanship is comparable to mine. I wanted to refute the original intention of practicing swordsmanship, so I felt a wave in my heart, and I felt that so many years of hard work were in vain."

  Shangguan Lingye slowed down and walked side by side with Zuo Lingquan:

  "'Jianyi' is the strongest sword in the world, and it is the 'end' of kendo; even if there are other people who can realize 'Jianyi' and meet you, they will die together, and it is impossible to beat you , you have a problem with your idea, you must correct it in time."

  Zuo Lingquan shook his head at this: "The real 'the strongest sword in the world' should be purely unique and invincible in the world. If there is an opponent, it is not invincible in the world, so why call it 'the strongest'? "? ?

  Shangguan Lingye frowned when he heard this, "Jian Yi" is recognized as the strongest sword in the world, isn't it a slap in the face?

  Shangguan Lingye thought for a while before seriously saying:

  "The sword is a killing weapon, and the purpose of practicing the sword is to kill the opponent. 'Jianyi' means no reason, the way to kill the opponent is bound to be the limit of martial arts, there is no way to climb up, there is no way It is necessary to climb higher, after all, you can't kill a person twice. Your idea of ​​practicing swords for the sake of swordsmanship has gone astray."

  Zuo Lingquan felt that Shangguan Lingye was a little serious, and his expression slowed down:

   "Senior is wrong, swordsmanship is not for killing people, but for self-protection. If my sword collides with other people's swords and both die, it means that I can't protect myself, the goal of swordsmanship is to protect myself. It has not yet been achieved, and we have to continue to work hard, senior said, right?"

  “…”

& emsp;

  After all, the original intention of practitioners to learn various killing techniques is not to slaughter all living beings in the world, but to protect the common people.

   Judging from this principle, Zuo Lingquan's remarks are not at all problematic, and the 'Dao's heart is very upright', there is no place to go astray.

   "But... 'Jian Yi' is the ultimate of killing, the limit of martial arts, and the limit that people can bear. It is impossible to become stronger."

  "'Sword One' is indeed the limit of a person, but there is absolutely no limit to martial arts; my sword can't be faster, I can use other methods to enhance my combat power, so as to obtain stronger swordsmanship than this sword ."

  Shangguan Lingye thought for a while: "I've never heard of a sword that is stronger than 'Jian Yi', can you still figure out a 'Jian Zero'? No sword is better than a sword?"

   Zuo Lingquan was amused by this, shook his head and said:

  "My sword has indeed reached the limit of human beings, and it is impossible to increase the speed. However, when I saw Li Chusun's sword today, I realized that since it cannot increase its power, it must be maintained under the premise of maintaining its power. increase the frequency."

  Shangguan Lingye understood what Zuo Lingquan meant, she sighed:

  "You take it for granted. 'Jian Yi' is a summary of one's own martial arts, representing a genre. It is impossible for one person to master two kinds of 'Jian Yi' at the same time..."

  Shangguan Lingye felt that the explanation was a bit troublesome, so he directly lifted Zuo Lingquan, flew over the thousand-storey buildings in the sect gate of Iron Arrow Mansion, and came to a house.

  The house was full of snow, and it looked like it was uninhabited for many years. The courtyard in the middle was a martial arts field, and in the center was a dummy of unknown material.

  Shangguan Lingye landed in the large courtyard, took out a long sword, and said seriously:

  "For example, Jingtai's swordsmanship is based on 'Ghosts', which is in the same vein as the 'Wuying' of Lord Barren Mountain; 'Wuying' is the most ghostly and elusive sword in the world, and no one knows the sword before the sword Where does the shot come from, the shot is sure to kill, just like this..."

  Shangguan Lingye held the hilt of the sword, his body did not move, but a sword mark suddenly appeared on the dummy's neck. Of course, this was simulated by Shangguan Lingye's technique.

  Zuo Lingquan watched from the side, seemingly understanding but not understanding:

  "Meaning, if you don't draw the sword, the sword will already go out?"

   "It's not that I don't draw my sword, I just explain the concept of 'Wuying'. As long as 'Wuying' is practiced, the way and position of the sword can't be predicted in advance, do you understand?"

  Zuo Lingquan nodded lightly.

  "Lianyun' of Yunshui Jiantan's concept is 'the most swords can be produced in an instant', which is essentially different from 'Wuying'. It is impossible for a person to produce a million swords in an instant and still maintain the Every sword is 'swordless', as long as one sword is exposed, 'Wuying' will no longer be 'Wuying'; Then there is 'Lianyun'. The result is that the two ends are not touching, and the sword is not well practiced."

  Zuo Lingquan thought about it carefully:

  "Actually, theoretically, it's not impossible."

  ?

  Shangguan Lingye felt that Zuo Lingquan was a little lost, she asked:

  "What is your kendo philosophy?"

  "Use the fastest speed and do your best to stab the sword in the most accurate place to achieve a one-hit kill."

  "The core of 'Lianyun' lies in 'a million swords in an instant', so it is impossible to use all your strength with one sword; The reserves are not enough, and the speed of infuriating is difficult to support. How do you solve this problem?"

   Zuo Lingquan's sword consumes too much, four or five times is already the limit, it is indeed impossible to practice 'Lianyun', unless he gives up the explosive power of the peak, and turns to modify the swordsmanship of Yunshui Jiantan.

  But Zuo Lingquan didn't want to learn 'Lianyun', he just prepared to 'collect the stones from other mountains to attack jade, and recruit the elders of a hundred families to benefit himself'.

  Zuo Lingquan took out his saber, stood beside Shangguan Lingye, and said seriously:

   "I don't need a million swords, as long as two swords are fired in an instant, the lethality can be doubled, which is stronger than the current sword one."

  Shangguan Lingye shook his head: "You take it for granted, your sword has reached the limit of your body, and you can't strike two swords in an instant at the speed of 'Lianyun'."

  "Then practice to the death until you can. I used to be so reckless for 14 years."

  “…”

  Shangguan Lingye pursed his lips, and he stopped talking. He was indeed a disciple of my Iron Arrow Mansion. Cultivation never requires brains, and he is done with recklessness.

  Zuo Lingquan thought for a while and said:

   "Going to the top of the mountain and finding that there is no way, is actually a very desperate thing for the warriors; now there is another way in front of you, so you have to try to climb up. I think those who realize the 'sword' Yi's peak swordsman is also trying this path; otherwise, those 'Sword Emperor' and 'Honored Lord', who have 'Jian Yi' in their hands, but have no direction to move forward, can't stay at home and eat and wait to die."

  Although Shangguan Lingye doesn't know whether this statement is right or wrong, he can imagine the feeling of 'standing on the top of the mountain but there is no way in front of him'. She was silent for a while, no longer arguing with Zuo Lingquan, she nodded and said:

   "Then I hope you are not wrong. If you really practice this sword, you can probably destroy the Central Continent Sword Imperial City alone."

  Zuo Lingquan looked at the saber in his hand and chuckled lightly:

   "First destroy Wolong and Kowloon... By the way, Senior Lingye, Shangguan Kowloon of your sect, is he really that much stronger than me?"

  Shangguan Lingye probably wanted to give Zuo Lingquan motivation, nodded and said:

   "The difference between clouds and mud. You may be able to defeat him head-on if you master this sword."? !

   Only by practicing this sword can you ‘may be able to defeat’?

  Zuo Lingquan really didn't believe it. When he saw Grandma Shangguan talking about "Shangguan Jiulong", his eyes were full of pride and self-confidence.

  "Is Shangguan Jiulong a man or a woman?"

  Shangguan Lingye was stunned for a moment, not expecting Zuo Lingquan to ask this.

  She glanced at Zuo Lingquan, and suddenly understood something, is this kid jealous of me?

  “…”

  Shangguan Lingye's eyes moved, his hands folded around his waist, and he put on the luxurious aura of a concubine, and said plainly:

  "Why do you ask this?"

  Zuo Lingquan didn't know what to ask, he smiled and said:

   "Just curious, um... interested in such a strong opponent."

  Shangguan Lingye secretly noticed Zuo Lingquan's expression and said deliberately:

  "Kowloon is a man, taller than you, more handsome than you, gentle and elegant, witty and humorous... There is also a saying in the sect that 'you see Kowloon, you lose your life', after I saw it , I can't forget it to this day."

  “…?”

  Zuo Lingquan's expression froze obviously. However, the strangeness in his expression quickly returned to normal, and he said with a smile:

   "Is that so? The niangniang has such a high opinion of him, and it's only if you meet him in the future and get to know him well."

  Snowflakes fell in the silent courtyard.

  The young man and the beautiful woman in palace dress standing side by side in front of the dummy fell silent for a while.

  Shangguan Lingye looked at Zuo Lingquan calmly, her eyes were clear, she couldn't see what she was thinking, but she was obviously thinking about something.

  After a while, she covered her mouth and laughed, and joked:

   "Just kidding, the male cultivators in my Iron Head Mansion are all as strong and mentally handicapped as Situ shock, and the higher the cultivator, the more rude he looks, and he can't compare to a refined boy like you. He is indeed better than you in terms of cultivation, but I believe you can surpass him, so don't let me down."

  This smile can be said to be a hundred and beautiful.

  "Alas..."

  Zuo Lingquan gave a false alarm~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He didn't know what to say, nor could he stare at Grandma Shangguan's smile, he raised his sword:

   "Let's start practicing swordsmanship. If there is anything wrong, please ask the seniors to give some pointers."

  Shangguan Lingye put away his smile and came to the eaves where he often meditated and cultivated his qi when he was a child.

  And in the snowy courtyard, at this time, there was the sound of sword cries that had been ringing for fourteen years in a row.
