Chapter 88 Conscience

All eyes were focused on Huan Yin, including Karen Ye and his master Duan Yun.

"Yin'er, are you okay?" Duan Yun was a little surprised. If Huan Yin's cultivation hadn't recovered, he shouldn't have appeared here.

Huan Yin bowed to Duan Yun and Karen Ye: "Uncle, master, disciple is ready!" At this moment, he looked excited, and anyone could see that he was in a good mood.

When Huan Yin said he was well, he naturally meant that his cultivation had completely recovered. Karen Ye's consciousness was slightly released, and she could see clearly Huan Yin's condition - he was indeed well.

Duan Yun sighed a little. It seemed that Huan Yin's burning soul this time was indeed unique. Even his cultivation could be restored so quickly.

Karen Ye nodded without any expression. However, she was actually far more surprised than Duan Yun. Although she didn't know why Huan Yin's cultivation dropped before, there were only a handful of reasons why a monk's cultivation dropped. No matter which one, there was no reason why he could recover within a month. There are too many mysteries in Huan Yin, and it is impossible to judge based on common sense. Although Karen Ye was surprised, she was somewhat used to it. This junior always makes people around him see through.

Huan Yin stood behind Duan Yun, turned around and looked at the disciples who had accepted the call, and was immediately startled by the crowd in front of him. Then, he found that almost all of these people were looking at him curiously, and he felt a little more confused.

"Excuse me, is this Senior Brother Huan?" A voice in the crowd finally couldn't help but asked despite Karen Ye's pressure.

Huan Yin didn't see who was asking the question, but he still stepped forward and bowed to the crowd: "I have met all of you fellow disciples. My younger brother is Huan Yin."

As soon as Huan So spoke, there was a low discussion among the crowd. Even the disciples who were supposed to leave in the distance stopped moving and stopped to watch.

"It's really Senior Brother Huan. Why isn't he as tall and heroic as I thought? But he is really polite and humble. He is worthy of being the number one among my Wuliang Sect disciples!" A male disciple's voice came out.

"Are you blind? Senior Brother Huan is so handsome. If only... if only..." The voice of a female disciple came out again.

"It turns out that Senior Brother Huan is like this. If I can see Senior Brother Huan today, even if I didn't come in vain!"

"I want to join the Sword Pavilion and learn sword energy from Senior Brother Huan!"

…

"Okay everyone, let's get started!" Duan Yun saw that Huan Yin was a little embarrassed, and Karen Ye frowned again and hurriedly spoke out.

This time, the disciples didn't say anything. They all followed Duan Yun's arrangement and went through "mind reading" and "fortune telling" in order to test their character and aptitude.

Although there were many people participating in the test, the test was carried out in an orderly manner and very quickly. In less than an hour, all the disciples who participated in the test completed the test.

After this round, only eighteen disciples passed. Most of the disciples who participated in the test were eliminated by the qualification level. It's no wonder that the Wuliang Sect is weak, and most of the disciples who join the Wuliang Sect have mediocre qualifications. In addition, Jiange requires the minimum qualification to be above Wuliang. How many disciples can meet the conditions?

After the test, Duan Yun politely invited the failed disciples back, and then he said to the remaining eighteen disciples: "Now, all of you left behind are rare talents in our sect. It's just that , My sword pavilion lineage can continue to this day, not only because the disciples in my pavilion are good at cultivation, but also a more important reason is that all the disciples in my sword pavilion can make swords!"

"If sword repairing is the soul of my sword pavilion, then sword making is the soul of my sword pavilion!" At this point, the smile on Duan Yun's face was no longer there, but was full of seriousness, solemnity and pride.

"The sword is the core of my sword pavilion. Everyone in my sword pavilion practices swordsmanship and kills demons with swordsmanship. In the past years, they have made immeasurable contributions to our Wuliang Sect. However, I want to To truly understand the sword, it is not enough to just practice it. To make a sword is to create the shape of the sword, understand the spirit of the sword, and condense the meaning of the sword.”

"A weapon master is the person who gives the sword shape, spirit, and meaning. Only if you can give the sword shape, spirit, and meaning, can you truly have charm in your swordsmanship. If a person only knows swordsmanship but cannot make swords, To him, the sword is nothing more than a magic weapon. If a person has extraordinary swordsmanship and knows how to make swords, then the sword is his soul, and he is the god of the sword. The soul and soul are united, and he can do anything! "

These words were what Qi Juezi said to Duan Yun when he first became a disciple of Qi Juezi. Unexpectedly, he would be able to convey these words to his descendants one day.

Although the eighteen remaining disciples all knew that Duan Yun was Huan Yin's master, they knew clearly that Duan Yun had not been practicing for many years. They came here either because of Karen Ye or because of Huan Yin. However, the words coming from this person with no cultivation left them deeply shocked.

If without Huan Yin and Karen Ye, Jiange would not have the momentum it has today, then without Duan Yun, there would be no Jiange today. Duan Yun is the real hero who has worked so hard to maintain Jiange and is the foundation of Jiange!

"If you want to enter my sword pavilion, you should know that you have to pass a trial in my pavilion. This trial is to test whether you are suitable to become a weapon master. So now, please come down the mountain with me. Trial!"

Having said that, Duan Yun was about to lead a group of disciples down the mountain when suddenly a disciple asked: "Uncle Duan, I remember you said that no more than five disciples will be recruited this time. If more than five people pass the trial, then What to do?”

When Duan Yun heard what he said, he turned around and smiled slightly: "Oh? If there are really more than five people, then my sword pavilion will take them all. However, I am afraid that even five people are not enough."

…

To the west of the Qingchuan River, there is a black boulder in the river that is as tall as two people. At this moment, twenty people are standing in front of the boulder. They are Huan Yin, Duan Yun and the eighteen disciples who passed the previous round of tests.

This huge stone was the same huge stone covered with sword marks that the old Taoist Ci Yuanling had instructed Huan Yin to wait for Duan Yun.

Duan Yun walked up to the disciples and said loudly: "The huge stone behind me is called the 'Sword Testing Stone'. When the young disciples of my sword pavilion cast their first sword, they will come to this stone." , test the sword with a stone."

The disciples were extremely shocked when they looked at the countless sword marks scattered across the black boulder. None of them expected that the sword pavilion in the sect that was considered useless once had so many disciples.

"Today's trial is about asking the heart. The heart refers to the heart of the sword. The disciples of my Jiange lineage all have a sincere heart for the sword, so when they forge the sword, they will also integrate their own thoughts into the sword. "If the sword center is different, the sword will be different and the sword mark will be different."

"After a while, Huan Yin will take out fifty swords. These swords are the first swords made by the ancestors in our pavilion after they became a qualified weapon master. Although these swords are not of high quality, they are It contains their original sword heart. If you want to pass the trial, choose one of the fifty swords, find the sword mark on the boulder that matches it, and tell the sword heart you have realized. That's right, it's passed!" After Duan Yun finished speaking, he motioned for Huan Yin to take out his sword.

Huan Yin stretched out his hand, and the golden light of the Qiankun Bag flashed, and a series of swords flew out from it, falling in order in front of everyone. When Duan Yun saw the swords placed, he came again: "I will give you a stick of incense to observe the sword marks on the boulder and understand the sword heart of the sword pavilion senior. Then, I will give you ten breaths to choose the sword. After choosing the sword, one by one, Go ahead and try. So, let’s get started!”

As soon as Duan Yun finished speaking, the eighteen disciples participating in the trial started to move. They quickly ran to the boulder and carefully examined the sword marks on the boulder.

The questioning test given by Duan Yun is indeed not simple. Only someone like him, who has practiced swordsmanship in the sword pavilion for decades, can think of such a test method.

The sword marks on the boulders are long or short, thick or thin, deep or shallow, and there are many overlapping and even a large sword mark contains a small sword mark. These have been discovered by the ancestors of Jiange for countless years. How can the accumulated traces be retained in the heart just by relying on memory?

What's more, they haven't seen the swords Huan Yin took out yet, and those swords were of different sizes and lengths. After looking at the dazzling sword marks, they had to face fifty different swords. After doing this, I am afraid that my heart is already in chaos. How can I find the sword that corresponds to the sword mark?

Duan Yun gave such a trial, naturally not to test the memories of the disciples. In fact, he wanted to select disciples who had the same sword heart as the ancestors of Jiange. The ancestors of the sword pavilion are all elites. Their understanding and perception of swords are far better than ordinary monks, so when they forge swords, they will integrate their sword hearts into the swords they forge.

The heart of the sword, in the final analysis, means that the person who forged the sword placed his own feelings and hopes in the sword. Different people have different sword hearts, so even if they use the same materials and the same process to make swords, the resulting swords will be different. The heart of the sword is a feeling, ethereal but not empty, so as long as you can understand the profound meaning of the sword marks on the boulder, and then find a sword with the same feeling among the fifty swords, you will naturally be able to fit it.

Soon, the time of burning incense passed. After seeing the sword marks, the disciples ran to the other side and looked at the swords on the ground one after another.

At this moment, almost all the disciples were sweating on their foreheads, and some even had bloodshot eyes in their eyes. They all wanted to join Jiange, so they tried their best.

Finally, after ten breaths, all the disciples took a sword in their hands. This was the sword they selected and wanted to try to fit the sword marks.

"Okay, everyone, let's get started!"

With Duan Yun's shout, the trial began!

Do you understand the trial of Jiange? Welcome to the second update!
