Chapter 3 Observing the "Tide"
"Although Xijianchi is our Western Region sect, but your comparison is too biased towards Xijianchi, I can't stand it anymore." A sensible yellow-robed monk in the crowd answered.
"The number of sword sects is the least among the seven Dao sects. In addition, it is said that the total number of disciples in the entire sword sect who are in the Yuanying stage does not exceed three hundred.
Xijianchi is the number one sword cultivator sect in the Western Regions, the number of disciples has reached hundreds of thousands, and the number of disciples in the Nascent Soul Stage is nearly ten thousand.
With such a large base, one more disciple on the list than Jianzong, does it mean that the younger generation of Jianzong is not as good as Xijianchi?
Besides, don't you look at who is at the top of this yellow list?
Hao Ran Jian Ji Chuan!
Among the disciples listed in Xijianchi, the highest rank is thirty-seventh. "
After being taught by the yellow-robed monk, the gray-clothed monk who spoke earlier also understood the gap, and lowered his head in a low voice, and stopped talking.
Seeing that the gray-clothed monk did not refute, the yellow-robed monk who won the debate became interested, and continued: "Jianzong has always been famous for being few but skilled, so even if it appears, the number of refining monks in the sect is more than that of Yuanying. Many monks violate the unique atmosphere of the pyramid structure.
Don't look at the top of the yellow list, there are only two swordsman monks on the list, but in this mysterious list, there are nine people on the list, the most among all the sects in the world. "
After being told by the yellow-robed monk, other people also set their sights on the Xuanbang.
They took a little inventory in their hearts and found that it was indeed the case.
In the Daozong Taiqing Palace with the largest number of people, there were actually only seven monks who finally made it to the Xuanbang.
From this comparison, we can know the horror of Jianzong.
"Furthermore, looking at the four rankings, Jianzong actually occupies two of the first places. They are Ji Chuan, who is the first in the Yellow Ranking, and Taibai Sword Master, who is the first in the Heaven Ranking. Doesn't this explain anything?"
This time, the grey-clothed friar was completely speechless.
In fact, he just suddenly discovered that the number of Jianzong disciples on the Yellow List was actually less than that of Xijianchi, so he blurted out without much thought.
In fact, the moment he exited, he had already noticed something was wrong.
Didn’t think about it? He happened to catch up with a brother again? In the end, he was educated by someone,
It can be said to be very depressed.
"It's not a big deal just to talk about the first two rankings," the girl in light yellow clothes actually took over the conversation at this time? Crisply said: "The most remarkable thing about Jianzong? Or is it that they have the strongest Seventh Realm? Luoshen Fairy Xia Daoyun. "
When Xia Daoyun's name was mentioned, all the monks immediately started talking.
Obviously? This name? Has a lot of popularity.
The fact is also the same? One must know that Xia Daoyun has been on the fourth list of Tianji Temple for so many years? It is the first time that Xia Daoyun has given the name of the strongest monk.
How could an unprecedented monk not be famous?
"It is said that this Luoshen fairy has done something important recently." Seeing that everyone's attention has been attracted? The girl decided to reveal some unique news about her family.
"What's the big deal, little girl, don't try to whet our appetites, hurry up and speak directly." A middle-aged male cultivator with a beard is impatient? He urged.
"What's the hurry?" The girl's nose was slightly raised. She was a little dissatisfied with the urging of the middle-aged male cultivator, but she still spoke in the end: "It means that there was a big demon king of the eighth rank in the Eastern Region some time ago. I don't know What kind of bear heart and leopard courage did he eat, and he actually threatened Jianzong with words.
Later, Fairy Luoshen directly killed the demon king's lair with a single sword, beheading the demon king with just one strike. "
Hearing the girl mention the name of her master, Lu Qingshan, who was also listening to the first-line information, couldn't help but click his tongue at this moment.
This eighth-rank great demon king who ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall, couldn't be the source demon king, right?
Lu Qingshan guessed in his heart.
"One sword? Really just one sword?" A monk on the field heard the girl's narration, and immediately exclaimed, unbelievable, and said suspiciously: "Didn't Fairy Luoshen have only advanced to the eighth realm for decades? Would there be such a thing?" as strong and ferocious?"
"Yes, I only used this sword! Otherwise, can Fairy Luoshen be the strongest in the seventh realm? Naturally, she is so strong that she can say that." The girl was beaming with joy, as if she had witnessed Xia Daoyun's prowess in beating monsters with her own eyes. Full of worship.
Facing the doubts of others, the girl said disdainfully: "Fairy Luoshen has an amazing record of killing eighth-level monks with a seven-level cultivation.
Once she advanced to the eighth stage, after finding out that the demon king came provocatively, she was furious, and killed a little eighth-rank demon king with a single sword, what was it? "
"Hmm—" Hearing this, Lu Qingshan curled his lips unconsciously.
There is nothing to say that Xia Daoyun is very strong.
But with the temper of my master, how can he be so angry when he kills an eighth-rank demon king?
Seeing the amazed expressions of the monks around her, the girl who felt extremely satisfied in her heart finally tidied up and yelled at the elder brother beside her: "Let's go, brother, go to the Fengling River to watch the "tide"!"
"Looking at the tide on the Fengling River?" This term fell into Lu Qingshan's ears, and he couldn't help but move.
"Why, you are also going to join in the fun?" The girl beside her was very sharp-eyed, seeing Lu Qingshan's reaction, she greeted enthusiastically: "How about going together?"
The reason why the girl is so enthusiastic is because she is not deeply involved in the world, innocent and romantic, and not too wary of others, and secondly, she just exchanged a few words with Lu Qingshan, and I feel that this person is thoughtful and easy to get along with.
Of course, the most important thing is that this fellow Taoist looks very good, he looks like a good person!
"Ping'er..." The young male cultivator was a little dumbfounded when his sister greeted a strange monk to go with him like this, and called weakly.
"Okay, that's exactly what I mean." Here, Lu Qingshan has already agreed with a smile.
What the young man Xiu said was immediately blocked back.
Although he is more thoughtful than his sister, but after all, he is just a newcomer monk with a thin skin.
His younger sister had just warmly invited Lu Qingshan earlier, he couldn't turn around and just pushed Lu Qingshan out.
This is not authentic, maybe in a few decades he will be able to do this without changing his face, but now he can only feel awkward in his heart.
The girl who was on her head obviously didn't notice that her brother was sullen, and introduced herself cheerfully: "We are from the Li family on a white horse. My name is Li Baoping. This is my brother, Li Zhangong."
A water bottle, a wine glass, the names of these two brothers and sisters are cute, their father must be a wonderful person.
"Don't know your name?" Although Li Zhangong felt uncomfortable, he was a well-educated person after all, and when his sister introduced him, he couldn't show his face to Lu Qingshan, so he cupped his hands and asked politely.
"Lu Qingshan." Lu Qingshan said with a smile, not hiding his name.
Naturally, Li Baoping and Li Zhangong would not connect a monk they met on the road with the unreachable leader of the seven domains theory just because of a name.
After all, Qingshan is not an uncommon name, there are countless people with this name in the world.
While chatting, the three of them had already left Baima City and rushed towards Yujian of Fengling River.
The girl looked at Lu Qingshan twice, and suddenly asked: "You don't seem to be from our Baizhou, fellow Daoist Lu?"
"Why do you see that?" Lu Qingshan asked in surprise, raising his eyebrows slightly.
Li Baoping responded with a smile: "'From the west of Baizhou, everyone has deep eyes', it means that from Baizhou to the west, the eye sockets of the people in the west are more or less slightly sunken. Your eye sockets are full."
Lu Qingshan didn't expect that a little girl who looked at him in a daze would be so careful, and immediately responded with a smile: "I was born in the south, and later I joined the sect in the east. For some reasons, I happened to fall here .”
The south he mentioned refers to the southern region, but in the eyes of the two brothers and sisters of the Li family, it naturally means the southern states.
Knowing that Lu Qingshan came from another place, Li Baoping's eyes immediately brightened, "This is the first time I have traveled far away from home, and this is because it coincides with the "tide" of Fengling River Viewing, and under the banner of long-term vision, I did it. Only then did my father release me, and I will definitely go to a farther place to see if I have the opportunity."
Lu Qingshan was noncommittal.
Seeing that Lu Qingshan and her elder brother didn't pay much attention to her, the girl was not annoyed, and began to think about her little thoughts on her own.
"One day, after I have cultivated the golden core, I will travel all over the world and meet those legendary figures on the Yellow List... It would be great if I could say a word or two to them... …”
Li Baoping has a girlish heart, chattering all the way, "If... if one day I can get my own name, that would be even better. I have already thought about the name, and I will call it Yijian Kaiyuan , One Sword Kaiyuan Li Baoping..."
"One sword to open up yuan," Lu Qingshan, who had been talking to Li Aquarius one after another, became interested and asked, "Fellow Aquarius is still a sword cultivator?"
"Of course! Our Li family is originally a family of sword repairers, otherwise, how could my elder brother and I rush to watch the "tide"?" Li Baoping said with a serious look, then turned to look at Li Zhangong, "Brother, you are right Bar."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Zhangong glared angrily at Li Baoping, who had already confessed all his secrets, and responded perfunctorily.
"You should also be a sword cultivator, otherwise why would you join in the fun?" Li Baoping asked Lu Qingshan back.
"Of course it is. Hearing the name of the tide of the Fengling River, I wanted to see its beauty," Lu Qingshan nodded and admitted, and then asked casually: "I don't know how far we are from the Fengling River. Who is the person?"
Li Baoping was very enthusiastic, knowing everything and said: "Fengling River is just around Baima City, and it's not far away. With our speed, it will arrive in about a day or so. As for the people who hit the tide this time, that's... Ariel Sword 'Qianliu' is an existence ranked 98th on the Yellow List."
Mentioning this 'Ariel Sword', Li Baoping's eyes suddenly shone with divine light, obviously he admired it very much, and he was even more familiar with it in his mouth, and he couldn't stop talking about it.
"Azure Sword Qianliu, Yuan Ying's cultivation is perfect, and he has the sword intent of water at the upper level of the Perfection Realm, and the killing sword intent at the upper level of the Unity Realm.
The natal sword is Liuxue, a middle-grade heavenly weapon, and is good at outer swords. He once killed a water tiger demon at the beginning of the fifth grade..."
"Ariel Sword..." Lu Qingshan repeated the name, nodded slightly, and continued chatting with the two.
.........
A day later, the three finally approached the Fengling River.
It can be seen that on both sides of the river, there are many tide-watching pavilions in forests, among which the shadows of people are intertwined, which is very lively.
If you take a closer look, you will be surprised to find that the figures in the pavilion are all monks.
The so-called observation of "tide" is naturally not the tide of Fengling River.
Although the tide of the Fengling River is indeed surging and has a reputation of being the best in the world, how can such a mere natural scene attract monks?
The "tide" these monks want to watch is actually a sword tide.
Among all the sword cultivating sects in the world, the Eastern Region Sword Sect is the only Taoist sect, and the well-deserved leader of the Sword Dao, followed by the Western Region Sword Washing Pool.
But who in the second position would be willing to occupy this position?
It has been a long time since Xijianchi wanted to be promoted to Daozong, and even replaced the reputation of Jianzong.
For so many years, Xijianchi has been planning in every possible way, wanting to enhance the reputation of its own sect externally and the strength of its own sect internally.
And this Fengling River Sword Wave is a grand event created by Xijianchi to promote their own reputation.
Every ten years, on the day when the tide of the Fengling River is at its peak, Xijianchi will send out its own disciples to meet the challenge of sword cultivators in the world in the tide of the Fengling River.
Don't hurt people, don't seek money, it's more of a pointing meaning, and it shows that the disciples of the sect are powerful and invincible at the same level, so as to promote their own reputation.
The euphemistic name is "washing the sword".
Swordsmanship is the art of actual combat. Whether it is fighting against a master or seeing a master's swordsman's moves, for a swordsman, it will help his own swordsmanship to improve.
Therefore, whenever the disciples of Xijianchi washed their swords in Fengling River, whether they were challenging sword cultivators or watching sword cultivators, they would come flooding in like a tide.
Therefore, it is also called "watching the tide" by good people.
In the riverside area, in the tide watching building.
The young girl Li Baoping has already reserved an elegant seat in the building in advance, which is located on the top floor, facing the Fengling River directly, with a panoramic view of the mighty river.
Lu Qingshan can be regarded as being honored by the brothers and sisters of the Li family, otherwise there would be such a good spot for him to watch the tide with such a lively scene here and now.
In all likelihood, I'm afraid I'll be waiting on the nearby hillside.
A lot of side dishes were ordered on the table, but the brothers and sisters of the Li family obviously didn't care about it. They kept looking at the center of the Guangling River, as if they were waiting for something to arrive.
Lu Qingshan ate very happily.
"Here we come!" Li Baoping suddenly excitedly said.
At the same time, the crowds of tide-watchers suddenly became agitated.
Lu Qingshan followed Li Baoping's line of sight.
I saw a blue-shirted cultivator approaching with a sword, followed by a dozen sword cultivators of different levels.
More than a dozen Yujian streamers flew at the same time, which looked spectacular.
The figure of the blue-shirted monk, and finally Yujian hovered above the center of the Fengling River.
"This time the Fengling River washes the sword, and Xijianchi sent a total of 14 sword cultivators. From the early stage of Jindan to the late stage of Yuanying, there are a total of seven small steps, and there are two guardian monks. If you are interested, you can come up and teach me." The blue-shirted monk's spiritual power was transmitted in his voice, and his voice instantly spread across both sides of the river.
"As for the last person to hit the tide..." The blue-shirted monk paused, and then said: "It's for me...My humble 'Ariel Sword' Qianliu, Nascent Soul's cultivation is complete , I also welcome your enlightenment."
"The rules remain the same as in the past, every fellow swordsman can only challenge those with the same or higher cultivation level as himself.
Anyone who wins and is a fellow practitioner will get two spirit crystal rewards for Jindan stage monks, and five spirit crystal rewards for Nascent Soul stage monks. If someone can beat me... ten spirit crystals will be offered! With a wave of Qianliu's hand, twenty spirit crystals were thrown out by him, hovering high above the sky, shining with aura, "If you win by leapfrogging, the reward for spirit crystals will be doubled directly!" "
As soon as Qianliu's words fell, the fourteen Xijianchi disciples immediately dispersed in rows, each occupying a piece of heaven and earth above the Fengling River.
At the same time, the water waves in the Fengling River suddenly rose, and there was a faint sound of water stirring.
The tide of Fengling River is about to rise!
