Chapter 52 The old man is very bad
Under the thunder clouds, white cranes flew across the endless mountains.
Wu Qingwan leaned over to feed the medicine between the empty sky and the earth, thinking that no one knew about it, but she didn't know that above the sea of clouds, there was always a pair of eyes following her.
Above the thundering sea of clouds, you can see the starry sky and the bright moon.
Lao Lu, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, was hanging high in the sky with his hands behind his back, looking down at the men and women flying by under the clouds, with something strange in his deep eyes.
After staring for a long time, Lao Lu finally turned his gaze away and muttered softly:
"Young people today are so chaotic..."
When he saw the sword marks on the corpse beside the pool, Lao Lu completely confirmed that the genius was Zuo Lingquan who he had noticed when he first arrived.
Even though he had already guessed this possibility, Lao Lu was still a little surprised - because Zuo Lingquan was too young.
Even in a wealthy fairy family like the Nine Sects in the South, someone who has been trained with heavenly materials and earthly treasures since childhood, and who has reached the spiritual valley at the age of seventeen and a half, is an extremely rare good seedling.
Zuo Lingquan did not rely on any external force. In a remote place like Dadan Dynasty, he relied on his own perseverance to get to this point. He also realized his own 'Sword One'. How high his future achievements will be, Lao Lu has no idea. Dare to think.
With his peak cultivation level, Lao Lu Youhuang could be regarded as a well-known swordsman in Yuyaozhou, but to be honest, he felt ashamed from the bottom of his heart.
What is inferior is not cultivation, but 'humanity'.
He had just checked all the traces around him and had already deduced the process of this fight.
Zuo Lingquan encountered an ambush. In a desperate situation, he never abandoned his companions and spared no effort to find a chance to survive.
If you dare to draw a sword against a stronger opponent, no matter how strong your opponent is, you will never doubt your own sword; no matter how big the gap is, as long as you have half of your strength left, you still have to thrust out the sword in your hand.
Later, his companion sacrificed his life in exchange for life, but Zuo Lingquan didn't take it, but instead rushed into the desperate situation again with his sword.
This approach is not reckless, but stems from the self-confidence accumulated through fourteen years of hard training, and the sense of responsibility that "as long as you have a sword in your hand, you will not let your relatives and friends shed a drop of blood for you."
Based on these two points alone, Lao Lu knew that he could not teach such a disciple.
First, if he were to put himself in his shoes and face the same opponent, he would never have the self-confidence of a 'reckless man' like Zuo Lingquan.
The second reason is that he ran away from home when he was young, abandoned his parents, was obsessed with swordsmanship and lost his beauty. He is not even worthy of being a human being, let alone a sense of responsibility. How can he teach a person who dares to risk his life and risk his life for his relatives and friends?
The purpose of Lao Lu's stay here for so long was to see what kind of person the genius who figured out 'Jian Yi' was, and what was the difference between him and himself.
Now that he saw it, it wasn't too special, he just had a good nature; it wasn't that the way of heaven was on Zuo Lingquan's side, but that the Tao was in Zuo Lingquan's heart.
…
Lao Lu was alone, hovering in the vast sky and earth for a long time, until the white crane disappeared from the end of the field of vision.
He originally wanted to leave quietly, but he still had a thought in his heart - he couldn't teach and couldn't teach, so why not give the head office a little boost?
It's like a swordsman seeing an immortal sword. Even if he can't use it, he can enjoy it just by touching it.
Lao Lu frowned and thought deeply - judging from Zuo Lingquan's current situation, what he lacks is nothing more than a good sword and a training method; with the 'Jianyi' who can defeat all methods with one sword, everything else is The icing on the cake.
A swordsman wearing a sword is like a brother and sister having a wife.
After all, Lao Lu is not dead yet. The sword he carries with him cannot be given away. The only thing that can be given is the practice of martial arts.
Lao Lu was able to join Youhuang, and the skills he practiced must be the best in the world; but it was a bit inappropriate to pass it on to Zuo Lingquan.
Because Zuo Lingquan has the superior magic in his hands, his level will certainly rise very quickly, and the people around him will not be able to keep up. In the end, it is very likely that he will repeat the same mistakes that Lao Lu did in the past - he will gain a soaring level of skills, and soon be separated from the Taoist companions around him. Eradicate the calamity of the heart. →
Lao Lu wanted to support Zuo Lingquan, but he didn't want to harm Zuo Lingquan, so he couldn't give him his skills, so he had to think of a way to get the best of both worlds...
Best of both worlds…
Lao Lu thought about it for a long time in the sea of clouds, and suddenly an idea struck him, and he remembered a practice method that he could never give up, which was very suitable for Zuo Lingquan at the moment!
He took out the Sword King Card from his sleeve and thought slightly:
"Qi Jia."
The jade pendant shimmered, and after a moment, a response came:
"Lao Lu? What happened? Did you find the genius?"
"I found it. It's the good seedling I mentioned last time."
"I'll just tell you. How do you feel? Who is stronger or weaker than me?"
"The difference between cloud and mud."
"Who is the cloud and who is the mud?"
"You'll know later."
"Am I mud? Lao Lu, you are going a bit too far..."
"Stop talking nonsense. In your name, go to Qiu Fengqing and ask for the fragments of the Green Lotus Sutra."
Qiu Fengqing is the sword-wielding elder of Jing Terrace and a descendant of Lord Huangshan. He has a transcendent status in Jing Terrace. When Qi Jia heard this, he was a little embarrassed:
"Lao Lu, it's okay to ask for skills, but you are a good person, why should I owe you a favor?"
"If you don't go, let your father find you a guardian. I will stay here to take care of myself."
"Lao Lu, you are no longer interested...forget it, I'll go ask, please wait a moment."
The jade pendant faded away.
Lao Lu put away the jade token and waited quietly above the sea of clouds, thinking about it in his heart.
For monks in the world, because the cultivation goals of each realm are different, the cultivation methods will naturally not be consistent.
Ordinary exercises can only pass twelve levels, the eight meridians at the spiritual level, the five elements at the earth level, the three souls at the heaven level, and the yin and yang at the immortal level.
The corresponding ones are 'Qi Lian, Linggu, Youhuang, Yujie, and Wangji'.
The higher the realm that can be used, the higher the level of the skill will naturally be.
"Qinglian Zhengjing" is a heaven-level skill that can be practiced up to the jade level; however, the book in Qiu Fenqing's hands, like other skills in the world, is a fragmentary copy, only recording the early practice methods; fortunately, the complete copy The techniques have not been lost and can be traced back to their origins in the future.
This technique was acquired accidentally when Lao Lu was 'young', killing demons with Qiu Fengqing. At that time, they shared the spoils together, but Lao Lu didn't want it. Now that I think about it, it is just right for Zuo Lingquan's current situation. .
Lao Lu sat cross-legged on the sea of clouds and waited for about half an hour. The jade pendant trembled slightly. As his thoughts moved slightly, the voice sounded again:
"Old Lu, you are such a bad old man! You are also writing the "Qing Lian Zheng Jing", bah -, the name is so serious, why is this a double cultivation method?"
Lao Lu's expression remained calm: "Practice the exercises as long as they are easy to use. There is no way to say that they are serious or not."
"Hey?! That's not for me. I just ran to Renqiu, the great elder, and asked for the skills with a straight look and sincere eyes, saying that I wanted to learn it. Didn't you see the look in Senior Renqiu's eyes - Yuyan He stopped, stopped and started to speak, first he shook his head with a strange look, and then smiled meaningfully, maybe he thought of who I was."
Lao Lu was not surprised by this. After all, it was no different from borrowing Fang Zhongshu from an elder. He asked Qi Jia to ask for it because he couldn't ask for it.
"Okay, I'll keep you in mind."
"It's not enough to just remember the favor. My image is shattered. I took out the treasure at the bottom of the box and exchanged it with Senior Qiu. It would be too much of a loss to give it to others. How about you let me learn it first and then take it away?"
"Your sword is not stable. If you learn this, you will become a demon."
"Oh~...forget it, come and get it. Qiu Fengqing is such an upright person, but I didn't expect that he would hide such unscrupulous things in private, tsk tsk..."
…
Lao Lu put away the jade token, put his hand on his waist, and flicked it with his fingers.
Just listen to the sound of "choi lang" sword.
The three-foot green blade at the waist was unsheathed. Before the true appearance of the long sword could be seen clearly, the long sword turned into a stream of white light, passing through the sea of thunderous clouds and galloping towards the west.
Jingping Terrace is located on the west side of Barren Mountain, and Qihuang Valley is on the east side of Barren Mountain. In fact, there is a barren mountain range between the two, and the distance is not too far. However, the main peak of Barren Mountain is too high, and monsters are rampant in the depths of the mountains. Generally, they are not There will be people walking across the mountain; people from the Great Dan Dynasty who wanted to go to Jingtai had to go to Dayan first and make a long circle before they could reach it.
The reason why Lao Lu was able to discover the sword marks left by Zuo Lingquan was because he came from Dayan and it was closer to Jingting Terrace.
After Lao Lu waited for an hour above the sea of clouds, a sword came from the west and returned to Lao Lu's scabbard in the blink of an eye. There was a jade slip suspended behind the hilt.
Lao Lu raised his hand to take the jade mace, inspected it for a moment, and nodded slightly.
The dual cultivation method emphasizes the balance of yin and yang, and the complementarity of yin and yang. Therefore, it is best for dual cultivation couples to have the same realm and the five elements to complement each other.
If there is a big difference, those with a high level can also sacrifice themselves to support the Taoist companion so that they can keep up with him, which is most suitable for people like Zuo Lingquan who value friendship.
However, since Zuo Lingquan has been practicing, he has been working steadily to support himself; casually giving opportunities will make Zuo Lingquan "get rich overnight" and feel that he has deep blessings, thus affecting the good mood he has cultivated since childhood.
Therefore, this skill cannot be given directly to Zuo Lingquan. The best way is to give it to Zuo Lingquan's Taoist companion and let him teach it indirectly; in this way, the blessing belongs to the Taoist monk, and Zuo Lingquan is on the side of being cultivated. Even if he feels lucky, it will not disturb his own state of mind too much. .
As for who should give the skills to...
Logically speaking, it should be given to Zuo Lingquan’s fiancée.
But the reason why Lao Lu suddenly had the idea of finding a dual cultivation method was because he saw an almost perfect cultivation partner next to Zuo Lingquan.
Although he was Zuo Lingquan's teacher, Congquan kissed him on the lips in a hurry. For the sake of the Dao, he would not embarrass the girl too much...
