When the two of them were whispering to Jiang Xin, they didn't notice that there was a very subtle change in the air; Naturally, they couldn't perceive that not far upstream, a scholar in an old gray cloth robe was squatting by the river, pouring water into a gourd; It was even less likely for them to notice that in the void above their heads, a tiny, invisible drop of water was falling alone.When Ren Zhen said, "I'm sorry to trouble you", Xue Qingwu, who had cultivated to a higher level, moved his mind and finally realized the abnormal changes that had quietly occurred.The river breeze did not know when it stopped, and the humidity gradually became cold; The scholar came to this place, and sat quietly on the north shore and watched them; As soon as the water droplets fell into the river, the next moment, the entire Lijiang River instantly froze the white carp that crossed the river, and before it even had time to struggle, it was frozen in the ice and lost its vitality.At this moment they were standing on the ice.Passing through the waves that were frozen into ice peaks, their eyes fell on the gentle and clean faces of the scholars, and their eyes suddenly froze, as if even their breathing was frozen with the river.The middle-aged scholar sat upright on the rock, dusting off his old robe with his hands, and his expression was calm.His aura is very ordinary, but it gives people the illusion of coming from the clouds.Seeing this scene, Xue Qingwu's expression was extremely exaggerated.Even Ren Zhen, who has always been indifferent, has a rather complicated expression on his face."
The first enemy is a little too strong" They all recognized the identity of the scholar.There are too many people like him who have an ordinary breath like a carp crossing the river.Although there are few people as powerful as him, there are still some after all.However, there is only one scholar like him who seems ordinary but is actually terrifying.The two of them were shocked because in order to deal with a person who had lost his cultivation and fell into the clouds, the scholar who actually came in person stood up, bowed to the two people on the ice, smiled warmly, and couldn't see any hostility.Xue Qingwu took a few steps back, holding a sword in front of Ren Zhen, and did not hide the surging battle intent in his body.Seeing this picture, Ren Zhen smiled bitterly, looked at the scholar who stepped on the ice, and laughed at himself: "In the face of the challenge of the tenth person on the list, I, the sixth, can only hide behind a girl, isn't it ironic" The scholar waved his hand and said: "It naturally makes sense that you can be respected as one of the six saints."
There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, even if you lose your cultivation, you are still a senior, and I will not mock you. ”His pace of speech is the same, smooth and steady, giving people the feeling of a spring breeze.If he hadn't used the means of dripping water and condensing the river, I'm afraid no one would believe that he was trying to make enemies of others.Walking a short distance, he stopped, smiling sincerely, "Besides, I'm not here to challenge.There's just something I want to discuss with you. ”"Discuss" Xue Qingwu snorted coldly, the battle intent in his eyes did not diminish at all, "Do you have a dismount before discussing like this" The scholar's gaze stayed on Ren Zhen, and it was not until this moment that he looked away and looked at her seriously."
You are my junior brother's sister, and I am also your brother, so I shouldn't embarrass you in any reason.However, what we are going to discuss next is not something you can mix. ”As he said this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a divine coercion burst out, like lightning that pierced the night sky, penetrating into the depths of her soul at an uncatchable speed.She felt that her eyes were dark, her head was buzzing, and she collapsed on the ice, unconscious.Ren Zhen watched coldly, he knew that he didn't have to, and couldn't stop this scholar's move."
Discuss things with me, who does Mr.
Big represent" He looked at the other party and asked expressionlessly: "Your own academy or the entire Confucianism" He had already heard of the unfathomable scholar in front of him, but he knew very little, did not have much hatred, but he did not have the slightest good impression.It is important to know that the still water flows deeply, and the more turbulent the stagnant water, the easier it is to lurk the earth-shaking danger.He didn't want to risk his life.The scholar replied, "All three." ”Ren Zhen was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Do you think that a person who is inferior in the first realm is still qualified to talk to you about family and country affairs" The scholar no longer looked at him, his eyes fell on those ice waves, looking at them one by one, looking like he was counting."
Sir, why should you take yourself lightly.From the mundane to the clouds, it may seem ethereal and difficult, but for you, it is only a matter of time.Cultivation is like a walking road, you have already walked once, how can you get lost on the way again" Ren Zhen did not make a sound, he also thought so.He was now more and more curious about what this scholar wanted to do.The scholar looked farther and farther, and the pupils seemed to be fogged, which made it even more difficult to see."
It's a pity that you and I are not the only ones who understand this.The road is facing the sky, and it seems that they are going to one side, but in the end, there is only one sword saint, and all sword cultivators in the world want to go to the top, how dare they raise tigers to cause trouble, and wait for you to ride on their heads again" Ren Zhen frowned and said: "The way of the sword is only fast and straight, and it is not euphemistic and subtle."
There is no need to detour anymore, what the hell do you want to say" The scholar turned sideways, looked at Ren Zhen's condensed thin eyebrows, a little distracted, and quickly realized the gaffe, and scratched his head apologetically."
If you re-cultivate the sword, with your talent and attainments, it is difficult not to be regarded as a thorn in the side of others, and you want to get rid of it quickly.You might as well find another way, belong to my Confucian lineage, avoid the edge of the world, and return to the peak of martial arts from another way" Ren Zhen suddenly froze when he heard this.He wondered if his ears had heard it wrong, this Confucian saint disciple actually came to persuade him to deviate from the scriptures and belong to the Confucian sect, he was shocked, and stared at the scholar in disbelief, "Mr.
Big really has a clear mind, and he actually came up with a clever plan to lure the sword saint to abandon the sword."
If I really abandon the sword and follow Confucianism, I don't know how the Sword Cultivators of the World feel, "There are six saints in the world, each of whom is a master of their respective schools of Taoism and is admired by tens of millions of people."
The abandonment of the sword by the sword master is bound to cause an uproar in the way of the sword.And abandoning the sword and following Confucianism will even shake the entire pattern of the world.The weight of this decision is immeasurable.The scholar blinked and said gently: "How" The corners of Ren Zhen's mouth were slightly raised, outlining a cold smile.It's a bold idea, but it's just underestimating the arrogance of the Sword Master."
I learned swords at the age of ten and practiced swords for twenty years, how have I ever been afraid of secular competition and threats, and how have I ever been discouraged and compromised" "Since ancient times, I have been promoting my strengths and avoiding weaknesses, but you have made me abandon my most dazzling kendo attainments and turn into a mediocre Confucian student, don't you think this is ridiculous" "Change course, abandon the heart of the Dao, and become a traitor to the entire kendo, this is the greatest shame as a sword saint" His words are like a sword out of the sheath, the cold edge is exposed, and it is so fierce that it makes people cold.He knows very well that he is by no means the opponent of the scholar, and if he chooses to be tough at this moment, he will face great risks.But if he shows weakness, he will not only violate Gu Jiantang's original temperament, but also lose the respect of scholars, and there will be no opportunity for equal dialogue.He had to take this risk to test whether the other party had murderous intent and whether he really wanted to recruit him into the academy.The scholar smiled faintly, his expression was still calm, and he did not make waves as Ren Zhen was worried about."
Arrogant and conceited, unwilling to bow your head in front of the general trend, that's why you've fallen into such a situation.In many cases, forbearance is the wisest thing to do. ”"This is not the same as in the past, you are enemies in every way.I said that in front of me, there are many strong people rushing here, and they will not treat people with courtesy like my Confucianism. ”"Do you feel that cultivating Confucianism has wronged your talent, then have you ever thought that kendo is no longer tolerated by you, and if you continue to cultivate swords, you will only suffer more grievances."
Ren Zhen was indifferent, thinking to himself, sure enough, it was still the same number as Xue Qingwu.She persuaded herself to forbear, because she wanted to make herself always dependent on her, and she had to teach the Nine Swords of Loneliness.So what kind of calculation is this big gentleman, "What is the benefit of me cultivating Confucianism to you, you are not afraid that after I enter the academy, it will threaten your status" The scholar smiled dumbly, took off the gourd on his waist, and took a sip of river water.When he looked at the frozen vast river again, there was a little more strange look between his eyebrows."
For you, it's about the strong that fights.And in my eyes, there is only the general trend of the world" Ren Zhen's heart fluttered.Looking at the scholar's thin back, he suddenly had a hunch that perhaps only by using this person could he complete that great task."
What is the general trend in your eyes" In the autumn of the sixteenth year of Yuanwu in the Northern Tang Dynasty, Danqing City ushered in the first snow.The snow came abruptly and violently, and the goose feathers and snowflakes danced wildly with the wind, floating in this small city in the south of the imperial dynasty, and it only took a moment to dye this mountain and water white, and the vast world was slaughtered.Winter is coming, and there are guests on the snowfield.Two middle-aged men wore hats on their heads and stepped on thick snow on their feet, walking slowly in the direction of the city.An old robe was worn on the scholar's thin body, which looked extremely thin in the cold wind, as if it would be blown away at any time.And the swordsman's white clothes, against the backdrop of the snow, reveal some elegant and dusty temperament.After a secret conversation on the Lijiang River, the scholar did not leave, but came to this remote town with Ren Zhen.Both out of curiosity and because this was Ren Zhen's request."
As soon as I promised to help you do three things, you will immediately use up a chance," the scholar exhaled a white breath, his cheeks flushed, "And it's used for this kind of trivial matter, don't you think it's a waste" Ren Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the black spot that was getting closer and closer in his sight, full of emotion."
For Mr.
Big, who is invincible in the Seven Realms, Danqing City is very small.But in the eyes of me, the fallen phoenix, it is too big.With your protection, I can feel safer. ”The scholar glanced sideways at him, rubbed his hands and said, "You think it's a good deal."
It's just that I hope that after you return to the Yunyao Sword Sect, don't forget what you said on the Lijiang River. ”Ren Zhen ignored his reminder, stomped his foot hard, shook off the snow on the sticky belt on the sole of his boot, suddenly felt much more relaxed, and his pace began to pick up.The scholar stepped forward and couldn't help but ask: "There are two uniques in Danqing City, which one of them are you looking for" Ren Zhen heard this, his expression was slightly sluggish, and he stopped.Today, there are thirteen peers, which refer to the thirteen leaders who are the best in their respective fields.They are amazingly talented, and they are all romantic characters.Dan Jue, the art of alchemy is superb, and it can be called a Dan Dao master.Danqing is unique, the painting art is outstanding, Danqing's wonderful hands are amazing, and he is amazing.The small Danqing City in front of it is famous all over the world because of these two people in the city.Ren Zhen's expression was solemn, looking at the scholar with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and said solemnly: "Guess." ”:
