Chapter 9 The Avenue(1/2)
Days pass by day, and time is like water.
The second disciple who reached the mortal realm of Luoyang Peak appeared.
When Han Shaobin left Luoyang Peak, he came to Lu Chen's house.
Lu Chen said, "Is there anything wrong?"
Han Shaobin's face turned a little red. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Thank you for the last time when I was in Beige, but I think it's not enough to rely on talent alone to do anything!"
"Um?"
Lu Chen didn't understand what he meant.
Han Shaobin took a deep breath and said, "I know you are very powerful. I think you have the ability to become a powerful sword cultivator in Jiange. So, so... I think you should work hard to practice!"
After saying these words, Han Shaobin fled in panic, leaving only Lu Chen with an inexplicable look on his face.
Next, it seems that a harvest season has come.
More and more disciples are entering the mortal realm.
However, a strange scene appeared. When each disciple left, he would come to Lu Chen's room to say hello with a respectful tone.
This situation surprised Lu Chen a little.
One morning, at the top of the peak, Ning Rongrong carefully explained: "The sword technique you taught me at the beginning... I accidentally told Han Shaobin and the others, and then everyone..."
Lu Chen then suddenly realized.
These days, Ning Rongrong's realm has improved greatly and she has also reached the eight realms of Qi training. After she is familiar with her, she can chat with Lu Chen for a few words. If she doesn't get a response, it is probably because the latter is already asleep.
A figure in white fell from the highest point of the mountain and then slowly walked down the mountain.
"Jing Chang seems to be very strange recently. He stayed on the top of the mountain all night last night."
Ning Rongrong said: "Although her temper is getting better and better, she feels much older."
"When your heart is old, you will naturally look old." Lu Chen looked at the back and shook his head slightly.
"Senior Brother Lu Chen..."
Ning Rongrong seemed to have been plucking up a lot of courage and asked, "Do you think there is anything else that needs to be improved in my recent swordsmanship?"
Lu Chen was silent for a while and said, "Actually, I don't agree with women practicing swordsmanship, the upper limit is too low."
The expectant girl lowered her head in disappointment when she heard this, and was a little silent. She bit her lips and felt a little aggrieved.
"but..."
Lu Chen raised his head and said, "If there really is a female sword fairy in the world, it would be great."
The girl's eyes lit up, and her smile couldn't be concealed.
Lu Chen rubbed the silly girl's head and said, "Come on."
"good!"
Ning Rongrong nodded vigorously, then asked the question that many people had asked again, and said, "You really used a brick in Beige and then slapped the two of them?"
"No."
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "It's obviously three people!"
“…”
Ning Rongrong felt the faint pride and pride on the boy's face, a little surprised and speechless.
In her eyes, Lu Chen, who seemed to care about nothing on weekdays, was actually proud of such things.
Don’t he feel that there are many things in him that he is even more proud of?
“It’s different.”
Lu Chen saw through her thoughts and said, "Swords are equivalent to my own thing. No matter what level you reach with the sword or who kills you, it is natural for me. But the bricks are different."
Ning Rongrong didn't understand it, but she felt that the boy's explanation was no longer like a heavenly figure who was indifferent to anything on weekdays, and she felt a little angry with her peers.
Such Lu Shen is more close to him.
Sudden.
The cicadas around the top of the peak became much quieter, and the flying clouds in the sky seemed to have stopped.
Lu Chen, who had closed his eyes from beginning to end, slowly opened his eyes, his black hair was windless, and his eyes were filled with a different luster.
Ning Rongrong had also felt this similar change in the world before, and widened her eyes and looked at the young man with a bright look, "Senior Brother Lu Chen?"
Lu Chen gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, nodded and said, "Ah, it's all over the world."
The boy's tone of speech was a little emotional and a little relief. The past year had been a great torture for him.
But in Ning Rongrong's opinion, Lu Chen's tone of saying this was as casual as eating and drinking water, as if it was natural.
Which of the people in Luoyang Peak practiced day and night, and wanted to spend all their time eating and sleeping?
Listening to the boy's plain but proud tone, Ning Rongrong thought to herself that Senior Brother Lu Chen was such a strange and terrifying person.
Lu Chen stood up and rubbed the girl's head.
Ning Rongrong blinked and asked, "Are you leaving?"
"Um."
Lu Chen said: "Don't slack off, and don't be anxious. When practicing, you should pay attention to the water droplets of stones."
Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue and said naively: "It would be great if she could reach the mortal world like you."
"Of course not."
"Then why can you?"
"Well... because my name is Lu Chen?"
....
The courtyard at the foot of Luoyang Peak Mountain.
Jing Chang looked at the young man pushing the door in front of him and said, "You are coming later than I thought."
When he was in the Beige Arena, he already knew that Lu Chen had at least the cultivation level of the Nine Qi Training Realm, but he didn't expect that he would wait for so long.
Lu Chen said: "If you practice Taoism in your heart, you can only enlightenment or not enlightenment, and there is never a saying of late or not late."
Jing Chang was slightly stunned, then showed a self-deprecating look and nodded, "You are right, I'm afraid that you will never understand it all day."
A sigh.
As the boys and girls who had just entered the practice of practicing two years ago gradually moved away, their state of mind inevitably had some ripples.
He had been stranded in the realm of the world for too long, and he was still like this for many years in the mountain. So he took the initiative to go down the mountain to contact mortal affairs, thinking that there might be a miracle, but in the past two years, his cultivation level has not increased at all, and there are still signs of regression.
All the situations made him feel discouraged.
Jing Chang withdrew his thoughts and said softly: "You retreat, I will report the list and I will leave here tomorrow."
Lu Chen nodded and left.
He could naturally see Jing Chang's current situation, and even saw it very early.
The sword heart is covered with dust.
All sword cultivators will basically encounter problems on the road to sword path. If there is no way to solve it, they will only completely destroy the great way.
But he ignored it. This kind of experience can only be overcome by himself, not to mention that it had nothing to do with him.
Lu Chen just walked out of the gate and suddenly saw the spiritual fruit condensed by the tree in the distance.
This spiritual fruit helps improve the meridians of the human body and can even help the human body absorb spiritual energy.
The boy suddenly remembered that Ning Rongrong once said that for two years, Jingchang would send spiritual fruits on time every seven days. He tasted them occasionally and thought they tasted good.
"Where is your sword?" Lu Chen suddenly turned around and asked.
Jing Chang was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked into the house.
The sword "Nine Yang" that was personally given by his master was placed in the inner room.
Lu Chen followed his gaze and said, "I haven't drawn my sword for two years, how can the sword heart not be covered with dust?"
Jing Chang didn't speak.
Lu Chen looked into the distance and said in a shocking voice: "Actually, I always felt that there was no need for a place like Jiange to exist."
Jing Chang was furious when he heard this. This behavior of deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors was really ridiculous. He was about to scold him twice, but was interrupted by the boy.
"The secular people work hard to seek the Tao in order to get rid of the six realms of reincarnation."
"The saints of the Three Churches pursue immortality in the great way to stand higher and see further."
"But the sword cultivator is different, because the sword cultivator pays attention to a smooth life. He does not look at the current situation, but only looks at the vast world."
"A such a large Jiange and such a strict inheritance may have good sword insights, but it can only narrow the mind and structure of a person invisibly."
"It is normal that you have been out of the world for many years and cannot enter the realm of no distance. What is the realm of no distance? When you encounter a mountain, you will be able to break into a mountain, and when you encounter a sea, you will be afraid of nothing and you will be able to get away."
