Chapter 275 The solitary peak is like a cut, the bright moon hangs high, and the sword energy is lik
Jiang You lived in Emei and devoted himself to practicing "Autumn Water Sword". Accompanied by the rising and setting sun in the sea of clouds every day, a week passed in the blink of an eye.
Jiang You has not been disturbed by any worldly affairs these days. Gong Jianqiu has not gone up the mountain to look for him these days. He practices swordsmanship during the day, breathes and breathes at night, and practices Changshengqi. With the old man's meticulous service by his side, his life is quite good. It was so relaxing and comfortable that even the donkey had several layers of fat on it, and its body became bigger and bigger, almost like a horse.
The first six levels of "Autumn Water Sword" are nothing to Jiang You. When you reach the seventh level, you need to understand the meaning of Autumn Water and start moving towards the Sword Qi realm.
But at this time, spring is in full bloom, and even the spring cold has passed. It is really difficult for Jiang You to appreciate the autumn water in spring.
He was currently sitting cross-legged on a rock that he had flattened on the cliff, closing his eyes to comprehend the mystery of the sword energy.
After a long time, Jiang You stretched out his hand, and a five-color light flew into the pine forest behind him. A pine branch broke and flew towards him. On the way, the light flickered, and the branches on the pine branch broke, and sawdust continued to fly out. By the time he reached the top, it had turned into a pine wood sword.
He grabbed the wooden sword and slashed forward. He saw a thin green light flashing on the wooden sword, and the wooden sword suddenly broke into powder and flew away.
He sighed, "It still doesn't work!"
For him, there is no difference between a wooden sword and an iron sword. If the sword energy is not understood, the longevity energy in the body cannot be converted into sword energy and emitted. As long as it is a mortal sword, this will be the end.
This is already the third day that Jiang You has stopped on the sixth floor. In the past few days, the pine forest behind him has almost been cleared away by him.
"If you want to understand Qiushui Sword Qi in the spring, it is completely against the will of heaven. You should just follow the trend!"
Jiang You felt that he was just one step away from comprehending the sword energy, but he always missed the opportunity. He sat quietly for three days and failed to find the opportunity. Now he could only change his mind.
He reviewed the full text of "Autumn Water Sword" again in his mind, changing his mentality from a practitioner to one of creating skills.
When I think about it, it is no longer about how to practice the fastest, but why we practice like this and what is the purpose of practicing like this.
In this way, Jiang You sat from sunrise to sunset again, constantly deducing the exercises in his mind. At this time, the advantage of strong mental strength was reflected. There were more than a dozen directions in his mind at the same time, and he was halfway through the process. If it doesn't go down, cut it off quickly, start again and push it all the way back.
Until a small reincarnation, the sun rose again, and his mind suddenly flashed through the two sentences Ge Yun and others said when discussing the exercises at the Taisu Dharma Assembly: The ancient people were externalized but not internalized. Transformation; people today transform internally but not externally. Hundreds of rivers have different origins, but they all return to the sea.
At this time, when two pre-Qin Qi masters were drafting "Tai Su", they were arguing in two directions, and they were so angry that their faces turned red and their necks thickened. This is what Ge Yun said when he came out to calm the dispute.
At that time, Jiang Youzhi thought it was just Ge Yun's and Xini's, and didn't take it seriously. The two sentences he remembered at this time suddenly inspired him.
An opportunity finally came to Jiang You, and he immediately felt like he was enlightened. The longevity energy in his body rushed to his handwriting, and then he opened his eyes and said, "Here comes the sword!"
The last pine branch behind him turned into a sword and flew into his hand, and he swung it forward casually!
The solitary peak is like a cut, and when the bright moon hangs high, the sword energy is like water, flowing through the mountains and lighting up the sky.
After slashing out with the sword, although the pine wood in his hand still turned into powder and flew away, Jiang You couldn't stop laughing.
"Now that you have understood the Qiu Shui Sword Qi, you can also understand the Spring Water Sword Qi. The essence is actually the same, but the form of expression is slightly different. It is externalized but not internalized. All rivers come from different sources, but they all return to the sea. You still have to follow nature!”
"Spring Water Sword" is complete and the sword energy realm is complete! At this time, a sword energy seed appeared in his dantian. After absorbing the longevity energy, the sword seed spit out the sword energy.
At this time, Jiang You deeply felt the benefits that his participation in the Taisu Dharma Association had brought to him. Although he couldn't understand what Ge Yun and the others said at the time, he could never forget it, just like swallowing a piece of cake. The golden elixir cannot be digested for a while, but at any time, this golden elixir will be gradually absorbed by him, turned into nutrients, and nourished him.
Jiang You sat there alone, watching the milky white sea of clouds slowly illuminated by the morning sun, and listening to the sound of chicken hooves coming from the distance in the morning breeze.
Ge Yun's slightly funny Mediterranean face appeared in the void in front of him, and behind him stood other Qi refiners, smiling and nodding at him, as if praising him for turning autumn water into spring water and understanding the mysterious and true meaning of Taoism.
He stood up and bowed deeply to the void, "Thank you fellow Taoists for clarifying my doubts!"
The sky is bright, the turbid air is falling, the pure air is rising, and the spring breeze is gentle like the eyes of a lover.
Jiang You smiled, feeling very happy. He put his hands on his back and walked slowly on the top of the mountain.
Although he successfully comprehended the Spring Water Sword Qi, his magical power: Demon-Slaying Sword Qi did not awaken, but his further understanding of Taoism made him feel as happy as nectar.
Afraid of endless Taoism, you will feel happy every inch you advance.
Although his supernatural powers were not awakened, Jiang You clearly felt that his connection with the Victory Evil Sword had become closer. He waved to the room, and the Victory Evil Sword inserted in the scabbard flew out of the bedroom, autonomously. adsorbed on his back.
Originally, Jiang You could only call out when the Shengxie Sword was unsheathed. Once the sword was returned to the scabbard, it fell silent. Being able to do this now was the benefit brought to him by the Spring Water Sword Qi.
After the Shengxie Sword was absorbed on the back, the Changsheng Qi in the body flowed into the scabbard of its own accord. After walking around in a circle, when it came back, the Changsheng Qi had transformed into Spring Water Sword Qi.
"I didn't expect that the Victory Evil Sword can also transform sword energy!"
If Jiang You hadn't made great progress in swordsmanship and understood the sword energy on his own, he might never have known the efficacy of the Victory Evil Sword in his entire life.
With the help of the Victory Evil Sword to transform, Jiang You has to devote much less energy. With the sword type, the transformation speed is also greatly improved.
He tried to put the Spring Water Sword Qi into the scabbard, and heard a happy sword cry from the Shengxie Sword.
I sensed that the accumulation speed of the Victory Evil Sword also accelerated.
Jiang You activated the Demon-Slaying Sword Qi at the same time. Two colors, one yellow and one black, appeared on the scabbard at the same time. The two did not reject each other, but the Demon-Slaying Sword Qi began to absorb the sword Qi. After he discovered, Convert the spring water sword energy with all your strength. After absorbing the demon-slaying sword energy for a period of time, it no longer absorbs it. Instead, the black sword light surges. The newly condensed spring water sword seed flies directly from the dantian and is thrown into the demon-slaying sword energy. .
The sword energy suddenly surged. Under Jiang You's perception, the demon-slaying sword energy became even sharper, and there was an astonishing power gestating in it.
Jiang You checked the sequence text and found that there were indeed three more words after the Demon-Slaying Sword Qi: Awakening.
Jiang You was even more happy when he saw it. It seemed that he was on the right path to use his own sword energy to awaken the magical sword energy. The reason why it has not been awakened yet is that the power of the Spring Water Sword Seed is not enough.
It should be fine when you practice several sword energies in the future!
Jiang You thought to himself and strolled down the mountain.
This is the first time he has gone down the mountain after entering Emei. He will walk around Emei today. If there is no movement from the top management of Emei, he can leave tomorrow.
After Jiang You came down from the mountain, he ran to the valley where the Emei Sect planted spiritual plants. The disciples in the valley didn't know his identity, but those who could enter the Emei Sect were definitely not people with malicious intentions, so no one No matter what, he is just concentrating on doing his own thing.
Jiang You watched carefully how they took care of the spiritual plants, and saw a young man wearing a bamboo hat, holding a hoe and humming to loosen the soil of a spiritual tree. Seeing how hard he was struggling, Jiang You also felt the same. Doubtful, isn’t it just loosening the soil? As for breathing like this?
He leaned over and said, "Brother, are you really loosening the soil?"
The young man looked up at Jiang You and realized that he didn't recognize him, so he didn't say anything and continued to loosen the soil.
"Brother, your health is not good. You are too weak. How can you practice swordsmanship when you are so exhausted after just these two strokes? Young people must exercise restraint!"
Jiang You stood up and said angrily, "You are so annoying. You are not from Emei."
"Well, I'm here to exchange and learn."
The young man didn't know how his sect could still have exchanges and studies during the mountain closure, but these were the matters of the elders and he didn't need to worry about it.
"There is no need to be restrained. The roots of this spiritual tree absorb the spiritual energy in the soil and harden the soil. It is as strong as iron. It is naturally very laborious to dig!"
"Young man, your body is weak. What excuse can you make? I don't believe it anyway!"
"My body is not weak, so don't yell!" The young man turned his head and looked at it. The fellow disciples on the side also looked over at this time, and his face became even redder. "You don't believe it? You don't believe it, dig into it and take a look!" The young man handed the hoe to Jiang You.
Jiang You thought to himself, "Young people are still easy to fool!"
But there is still a questioning expression on his face, "I will dig as long as I want, isn't it just loosening the soil? Look how tired you are!"
After he took the hoe, he noticed that the weight of the hoe was obviously much heavier than ordinary ones. The wood was ordinary jujube wood. It should be that rare metals were mixed into the material of the hoe, and the density became higher, making it heavier.
He dug into the ground with a hoe. As expected, the soil was extremely hard as the young man had said, but under his power, even real pig iron could be dug through effortlessly.
The young man saw that the extremely hard soil in his hands was as soft as tofu under Jiang You's hands. Half of the soil was loosened in two or three strokes.
"No way. Is it really because I am weak? No way. Since practicing swordsmanship, I have long given up on traditional skills!"
The young man looked at Jiang You and felt extremely relaxed, and for a while he began to doubt himself.
"Look, it's just you who's weak, otherwise why would it be so easy for me to dig it up?"
"Could this person be a hidden master?" The young man still didn't want to believe that he was imaginary, and began to look at Jiang You's face carefully, "This person is not much older than me!"
“Okay, the soil loosening is done, what’s next?”
"After loosening the soil, water it!"
"You don't have a water source here, how do you water it?"
"You don't know this. You are from a small sect. No wonder you want to study in Emei."
"Hehe, my sect is indeed not big."
"Look at me!"
The young man raised his face and took out a yellow paper talisman from his arms. He held the talisman between his two fingers and shook it. There was no need to recite the incantation. The talisman immediately burst into flames. After it burned out, it was three feet above the small tree. , a few white clouds appeared, and a light rain began to fall.
Jiang You caught some rainwater with his hands and found that the rainwater contained some spiritual energy.
"I just thought that the roots of the spiritual tree absorbed spiritual energy and solidified the soil, and now it's raining spiritual energy again?"
"What do you know? Cultivating a spiritual tree is so troublesome. You have to do this every three days!"
"That would consume a lot of talismans. What is this talisman?"
"The small rain talisman is not difficult to draw. It is an entry-level talisman. You don't even know this. What does your sect teach? It can't be a pheasant sect!"
Having said this, the young man was even more proud. Even if it was true that I had no control and was physically weak, the sect I joined was Emei. I will become more and more powerful in the future, much more powerful than you.
Jiang You also gave an envious expression in time and flattered him, "Brother, you are really awesome. You know everything. You are much better than me. You have a bright future!"
Jiang You was often flattered by others in Yama. After listening to it for a long time, he also learned a few things. Once flattered, the young man became even more proud.
Jiang You took the opportunity to say that he came from a small place, and asked the young man to tell him more about the key points of spiritual plant cultivation, so that he could open his eyes, and when he went back, he could show his skills to his fellow disciples and shock them.
The young man gradually got carried away under Jiang You's flattery and began to show off his knowledge endlessly.
While listening to the young man's talk, Jiang You thought to himself, "It's true that there are many things to wear, but flattery never wears out. No wonder those old oilmen in Yama love to flatter people the most."
Just as the two were talking, an outer sect elder who had received Guo Jiangyou walked in quickly from the direction of the inner mountain.
The young man was saying proudly, "Let me tell you, there are many ways to cultivate spiritual plants. They must be based on the physical properties of spiritual plants and cannot be generalized. What I just talked about is just the cultivation method of this cool fruit tree. Our clear The Miao Tea Tree is different. This Qing Miao Tea Tree is the "
"Cough, cough!"
A sudden cough interrupted the young man. Only then did he realize that there was someone behind him. When he turned around, he saw a middle-aged man with an ashen complexion standing behind him.
"Elder Peng!" The young man saluted quickly, but seeing that the country bumpkin next to him saw the elder of his outer sect, he was still indifferent. He thought to himself, doesn't this country bumpkin even know the etiquette?
He turned his head and winked at him repeatedly. When he found that Jiang You couldn't see him, he reached out and pulled the corner of Jiang You's clothes.
"Young Master Jiang, you are polite!"
The young man was surprised to find that the elder of his family actually saluted the country bumpkin. "Young Master Jiang? What is the position of Young Master? It sounds like he is very powerful!"
Jiang You then smiled and returned the courtesy: "Elder Peng, what a coincidence!"
"Why is Young Master Jiang so elegant? When you come to the spiritual garden, there is no one accompanying you. These disciples don't know your identity. It would be bad if you are abrupt!"
"I'm just wandering around. I don't dare to waste the valuable time of your disciples. There won't be any rudeness. I get along very well with this frail little brother!"
"My body is not weak!" The young man wailed in his heart. He was just naive, not stupid. At this time, the powerful man didn't understand. The country bumpkin he thought was a big shot with a very high status. He was just making up his own words.
"If you have nothing to do with Elder Peng, please leave it alone. I will chat with this little brother again!"
"Otherwise, I came here specifically to see Young Master Jiang. The leader has been in retreat for the past few days and has not been able to meet him. Today he finally came out of seclusion. When he learned that he had distinguished guests during his retreat, he hurriedly asked me to come over and invite Young Master Jiang to come. A narration."
"Retreat, haha, I believe you!" Jiang You sneered in his heart. This was because he was noticed after he unleashed his sword energy last night. He knew that he was about to leave, so he couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Okay, please lead the way!"
"Jiang You, just go straight ahead. Jian Qiu is waiting at the bottom of the mountain. I'll have a few words with him!"
"Okay, little brother, apart from being weak, he is still a good person."
In addition to saying goodbye to the elders of the outer sect, Jiang You also deliberately patted the young man on the shoulder, "There is a hidden wound in my heart. I just don't feel it now, but it will become a roadblock in your practice in the future!"
The young man was shocked. In order to enter the inner gate as soon as possible, he was eager for quick success and made a dangerous breakthrough. He thought that after the breakthrough, everything would be fine. However, he did not expect that after entering the inner gate, his cultivation speed was slower than those of the same period. Many people came to accept the task of cultivating spiritual plants in exchange for cultivation resources because of this. They didn't expect that there was something wrong with their heart.
At this time, as Jiang You's hand patted down, he felt a warm current entering his body and going straight to his heart. After that, his heart felt warm, and his body suddenly felt much lighter.
"Thank you, young master!" At this time, the young man's resentment at being tricked by Jiang You has completely dissipated, and instead he has a feeling of admiration. Nothing is insignificant compared to his own path, and people are still talking about him in words. If you protect him, Elder Peng won't punish him too harshly later.
After Jiang You helped the young man resolve a hidden injury, he calmly walked towards Jianfeng.
When the young man raised his head again, he saw Elder Peng with a cold expression in front of him.
"How much did you just say?"
"I just told you how to plant cool fruit trees!"
"Just? You've already told me how to cool down the fruit trees, what else do you want to do? If I had come a little later, would you have told me about the core Dharma of my Emei too!"
Elder Peng gave a sharp shout, which made the young man break into a cold sweat and quickly bowed, "Disciple doesn't dare!"
"Don't dare? I think you are very brave. Do you know how much resources I, Emei, have consumed in order to find out this cultivation method? Do you know how much profit they, Yama, have to pay if they want this method? "
Elder Peng was very angry. His family's selection mechanism was extremely strict, and the talents of his disciples were all top-notch. However, it was these disciples who put all their thoughts on cultivation and were obsessed with swords. These thoughts were too simple. Coupled with the fact that Mount Emei was closed and the disciples could not go down to the mountain to practice, this simplicity almost turned into stupidity.
"Hey, sealing the mountain, sealing the mountain, it's obviously a great struggle, why does the leader have to seal the mountain at this time? I hope they can come to a result this time!"
Elder Peng was determined to punish the young man severely. After all, the fault he had committed was not small, but after all, the secret had been leaked. It was not worth it to ignore what Jiang You said before leaving and hurt Yan Luo's face. Just go with the flow and sell your favors!
"Your Taoist heart is not strong, and someone's words have stirred up your delusional mind. I will punish you with one month's worth of points and three months of facing the wall in the Sword Tomb!"
The young man was overjoyed after hearing this. This punishment was already extremely light, and he immediately accepted the order.
"Everyone in the world says that the people of Yama are extremely treacherous and slippery in their behavior. This can be seen from the young master of Yama. It seems that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. We in Emei can't be like this in the future!"
When Elder Peng arrived, Jiang You guessed that the senior officials of Emei couldn't wait any longer. He didn't believe that Elder Peng came by chance. As a mature politician, there are no such words as coincidence, just right, and just right in the dictionary. .
Immediately he knew that what he had just done was undoubtedly detrimental to subsequent negotiations, so he was simply asked, is Emei's method of cultivating spiritual plants good? Does Yama have a better one? Since you already know ours, why don’t you also tell us Yama’s method so that we can learn and make progress together.
In that case, if Jiang You says that Yan Luo doesn't exist, he is just here to steal his master, and there will be more to talk about later.
So Jiang You chose to help the young man resolve his own injuries. As a disciple of Emei, the young man gave him benefits, which was also a benefit to Emei.
Although the value of the two cannot be compared, it is difficult for Emei to use this matter to force Jiang You. Is the disciple's path so insignificant in Emei's eyes?
No matter how the high-level officials of Emei settle the accounts, they cannot say this on the table. Once the disciples know about it, there will be a layer of grudge in their hearts. Compared with this matter, the cultivation of spiritual plants becomes a trivial matter.
Now it was Jiang You who made Emei suffer a loss.
Since we want to talk about cooperation, Jiang You, as the young master of Yama, is no longer him at this time, and political competition is something that must be done.
From the moment Elder Peng appeared, this game had already begun.
Of course, Jiang You did not resolve the hidden wounds for the youth solely out of political considerations. Since his understanding of Taoism has gradually deepened, he has realized that every drink and peck are cause and effect. He has benefited from the youth, and he has the responsibility to repay him. , to help him avoid subsequent punishment.
This is Jiang You's way of practicing his Tao, and it is also very important to him. Otherwise, if his Tao heart is dusty, there will be another mental disaster waiting for him in the future.
Moreover, this young man Jiang You really seems to like him. There are not many young men who are so innocent and cute now, and they can only meet them under extreme conditions in Emei. As a person who is at the forefront of the road, I will pour some water for the younger generations. Water is what they should do to let them thrive. This is what Jiang You learned from the academy.
As for whether there are more political considerations or Jiang You's care for his descendants, it no longer matters. Good deeds are judged regardless of heart. As long as the result is good, then you have a clear conscience.
It turns out that there is a couplet rumored among the people, which is said to be from the underworld: If you intend to do good, you will not be rewarded even if it is good; if you have no intention of doing evil, you will not be punished although you are evil.
It's simply ridiculous. When good deeds are done, someone will benefit. If an evil person has the intention to do good, but spares the life of the person in his hands, you will treat this person as if he has the intention to do good, but it is not considered a good deed. This person will definitely spit on your face. , if you can, you can also slap a few more big mouths.
If the evil person thinks that his intention to do good is not good, and he kills himself at that time, and it is not you who dies, of course you can stand and talk without pain in your back!
There are too many stupid people in this world, and many of them just follow the crowd. A mediocre person raped a woman because his colleagues in the organization did many evil things. He just stood by and watched. People continued to drink wine and eat meat. Anyway, he didn’t do it himself. He did it unintentionally. If it wasn’t evil, then there would be more than half the number of evil people in the world.
Jiang You walked under the sword peak and saw Gong Jianqiu wearing a green suit and standing with a frosty face.
This woman, Jiang You, has never seen her smile before. She is usually fine, and her facial expressions make people think she is an iceberg beauty, hard to get close to. Now she is angry, and the coldness on her body has almost turned into reality.
When Jiang You saw it, his thoughts changed and he greeted him with a smile.
The two of them had seen the ceremony, and Gong Jianqiu didn't talk nonsense and just left a cold sentence. "The old man wants to see you, come with me!"
Then without waiting for Jiang You, he flew up with his sword.
"Is it because the matter of lifting the mountain closure is not going well?" Jiang You thought to himself, then jumped into the air, stepped on the clouds, and followed Gong Jianqiu all the way up the mountain.
The two of them flew to the top of the mountain, because flying was prohibited over the palace. They came down at the main entrance and walked inside.
There are many palaces inside, and they are very large. When you walk to the deepest part, you see a row of Emei disciples kneeling at the entrance of the hall. There is one kneeling alone at the front, who must be the leader.
No one got up after Jiang You and Gong Jianqiu came in.
On the main hall in front are five large characters with sword energy: Jian Qi Lingxiao Pavilion.
After Jiang You looked at it, he thought that the sword spirit was so high that there was a sword intent in it.
The sword intention is more powerful than the sword energy, and the sword power is also superb. Jiang You was still thinking of taking a few more glances to see if he could understand something from it, when he heard a laugh coming from inside.
"Hahaha, is Young Master Jiang here? Please come in quickly. I have long heard that Young Master Yama is like a god, and I have always wanted to get acquainted with him. It is really rude not to receive him immediately during this retreat. Young Master Wangjiang, you have so much respect!"
This was said politely, but when the voice came out, it was also accompanied by a hint of sharp sword intent that was the same as the writing on the plaque, heading straight towards Jiang You.
Jiang You's Shengxie Sword was frightened by the sword's intention and was about to be unsheathed with a sword cry, but was calmed down by Jiang You.
"Are you showing off your power?" Jiang You thought in his mind.
He immediately released the dragon's power, and the powerful dragon's power collapsed at the touch of the sword.
Under the full force of Long Wei, this trace of sword intention finally dissipated after consuming most of the Dragon Power.
"The sword intention is indeed terrifying! A single trace can consume most of my dragon power!" Jiang You thought in his heart, but in the end he still did not show any timidity and took it head-on.
The man kneeling in front looked back in surprise and saw that he was a man with a delicate face.
"Hahaha, he is indeed a heroic young man. Young Master Jiang, please come in quickly!"
