The Supreme Being
The sword tomb is in the mountain behind Sanchi Road, but you can't walk through it from Sanchi Road.
The formation was also designed by Zuo Qin, and it required teleporting from Fengjian Town, three hundred miles outside Cuiwei City, to the sword tomb.
Chang Xia explained, "Every year, tens of thousands of people come to the Sword Tomb to try their luck. They all go up Cuiwei and Sanchi Road, so it's packed. That's why Pei Jianshou spent a fortune to hire Zuo Qin to set up this formation."
Xingyun has been very sensitive about money recently. He asked cautiously, "How much is a large sum of money?"
Chang Xia thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. I only know that the star map of Morning Star Mountain was created around that time."
Xingyun took a deep breath and said, "Didn't they say that sword cultivators are very poor?"
Chang Xia looked at him in confusion: "Don't you know that Pei Jianshou is the most powerful weapon refiner in all of Cangxuan? He's very expensive. The wooden Zen staff in your hand made of water-sinking wood was made by him as a rough draft, and then handed over to the Zen master to polish it."
She finally added, "The Zen master spent a lot of good things to impress Pei Jianshou."
Xingyun was suddenly stunned. He really didn't know this.
He only saw the Zen master often sharpening the Zen staff, but he didn't know where it came from or for whom the Zen master was sharpening it.
At that time, I was secretly calculating in my heart, wondering who else could be worthy of the old monk's attentive treatment.
Later I gave it to him, and he was happy to have more new toys, but he never thought about studying them in detail.
He muttered, "It's just that I never thought of getting to know him better."
The old monk knew him, but he did not know the old monk.
Chang Xia comforted him, "It's okay. I didn't know my master wanted to commit suicide."
Although I don’t know what condition Bie Jingchun will be in after entering the formation, I guess he will either be dead or suffer a fate worse than death.
Otherwise he wouldn't have told her.
Xingyun: ...
He wasn't comforted, but he didn't dare say it.
Chang Xia could break Zuo Qin's formation, as long as it wasn't too special. She didn't get the registration token from the Sanchi Dao disciples stationed in the town. Instead, she pinched her fingers and used her spiritual power to lightly tap on a few points. In a blink of an eye, they moved to another place.
Although it is called the Sword Tomb, it is not eerie or spooky. Instead, it has blue sky and white clouds, warm sunshine, and lush vegetation. The only difference is that there is a towering mountain in front of them with countless swords stuck in it. As soon as they arrived, the millions of swords in the Sword Tomb made a soft buzzing sound.
There were many monks on the mountain who were looking for swords, and they were all shocked by this scene.
Changxia just raised his hand, then turned his palm and pressed it down, and the spirit sword that was still restless just now instantly calmed down.
Xingyun stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the top, and exclaimed: "How magnificent."
Changxia had been here when she was young, and many swords were chosen by her, including the Taiyi on the top of the mountain. He even condescended to come down the mountain for her, but she didn't like any of them.
Bie Jingchun didn't care that his disciple had high standards. He didn't choose her and just took her down the mountain.
Later, when talking about this in a casual conversation, he sighed: "Tai means vastness, and Yi means non-duality. Taiyi is refined by the origin of Tao, and it is rare for it to take a fancy to one person."
When he went to the sword tomb to look for the sword, Taiyi also made the sword ring for him, but he did not go down the mountain for him.
Chang Xia, however, did not feel sorry at all. She said to Bie Jingchun, "Weapons are sharp tools, used to kill. Tao follows nature. I use my sword to kill, not to seek the Tao."
Taiyi embraces everything, but it is not what she wants.
Back then, her master took her to the sword tomb to choose a sword, and now it was her turn to be the guide.
"Li Bai, which one do you like?"
Li Bai blinked and asked, "As long as I like it, is that okay?"
Chang Xia said: "As long as you like it."
She can help her junior sister suppress any sword here.
Li Bai thought about it, then shook his head and said, "Forget it. A forced melon is not sweet. I want to choose a sword that also likes me."
Chang Xia didn't let her do what she wanted this time. She looked into Li Bai's eyes and said word by word, "Whatever you like is fine."
"It's just a sword. If it doesn't like you, we can just break it and forge it again. We can always forge a sword that likes you."
"Libai, you can't always wait for others to like you first."
Her junior sister had received so much kindness since she was born that she was always apprehensive about it. She had to be sure that someone truly loved her before she would let go of her guard and reveal her softest side.
Changxia noticed that even when facing Xie Fengxue, Li Bai was still tense.
"Whatever you like, whatever you want to fight for, just go get it yourself. You are my junior sister, and you deserve the best things in the world."
Chang Xia said in a gentle voice.
She had wanted to teach slowly and tell Li Bai slowly that although there were many people who coveted Cang Xuan's identity, there were not that many.
Or perhaps there is some worthless sincerity mixed in among those calculations and conspiracies.
After all, humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless?
but……
Changxia lowered her eyes, but she had no time.
There are more and more important things waiting for her to do soon.
So she needed a faster way to tell Li Bai that she deserved the best things in the world.
Li Bai looked at her in a daze, as if she had never heard such words before.
For the first time, the girl's voice dropped.
"Is it really possible, Senior Sister?"
Chang Xia asked back: "Why not?"
She took Li Bai's hand and led her to the road leading to the top of the Sword Tomb. Then she pointed at the millions of divine swords on the mountain and said:
"Choose what you like, as long as you like it."
Xingyun watched the little girl leave and asked Changxia beside him: "If the sword that Xiao Libai likes doesn't like her, would you really break the sword and reforge it?"
Chang Xia: "The hatred for killing my father and stealing my wife are irreconcilable."
Xingyun: "What does this have to do with whether you can break the sword or not?"
Chang Xia: "A sword cultivator's sword is his wife. I can't destroy what someone loves."
Xingyun: ...
He didn't give up and asked: "Who do you choose between Xie Fengxue and Cai Shou?"
Chang Xia said expressionlessly: "Of course it's my senior brother."
Xingyun: "Didn't you say you treat the sword as your wife?"
Chang Xia: "They just treat her as a wife, but I really have one."
Xingyun: ...
He was inexplicably shown off and decided not to discuss the issue anymore.
He looked at the small figure climbing up the mountain and asked softly, "Which sword will she choose, Taiyi?"
Changxia was also looking at Libai, but after a moment, she looked away.
"It can't be Taichi."
Xingyun was a little surprised at her confidence, but when he saw that Changxia was unwilling to explain further, he knew that he would not be able to pry out any useful information.
The Taiyi sword is very famous. It was born and refined by nature and has been a sword for more than 30,000 years. Only a few people can make it ring. And Changxia is the only one who asked Taiyi to come down the mountain to greet him in the past 30,000 years.
People say that this is because of her amazing talent in swordsmanship, but Xingyun doesn't think so.
When it comes to swordplay, Bie Jingchun is always the best.
Perhaps Changxia will be able to reach the same level as Bie Jingchun thousands or tens of thousands of years later, but at least until now, she is still inferior to her master.
Xingyun glanced at Changxia and couldn't help wondering what Taiyi saw in her.
The wind from the Sword Tomb whistled past, carrying with it the wielding of the ten thousand swords' energy. Xingyun felt a sting on his face. He had heard that the top of Cangfeng Mountain was also filled with wielding sword energy year-round, and Changxia had lived there since he was a child.
That’s really cruel.
I just don't know which sword energy is more powerful, the sword energy from the Sword Tomb or the sword energy from Cangfeng Mountain.
When I was bored, I suddenly heard a roar coming from the sword tomb near the top.
Smoke and dust began to spread from that point, making people at the foot of the mountain look up involuntarily, wondering what was happening there.
Xingyun was not familiar with swords and didn't know what sword Li Bai had got, but Changxia knew.
The famous Taoist sword - Wu Ji.
The most perfect man has no self, the divine man has no merit, and the sage has no name.
"Xiaoyao Dao is quite suitable for her."
Xingyun asked: "Xiao Libai is such an open-minded person?"
He didn't quite believe it.
He knew it the first time he saw Li Bai. Although the girl was young, she had a heavy heart and always seemed to be carrying something extremely heavy.
Chang Xia glanced at him and said, "What else does a free and easy person need to ask for?"
She whispered, "Only those who are not free seek freedom."
After saying that, she tapped her toes lightly, and in a few moments her figure disappeared on the mountain path.
Xingyun wanted to learn from her, but found that the entire sword tomb was covered by a formation and he could not use spiritual power. He did not have the Zuo Shanzhu to help him cheat, so he could only walk up honestly.
…
People with connections are really amazing.
When Changxia reached the top of the mountain, Li Bai was holding the sword in a daze.
“Did you choose the one you like?”
"I got the choice." Li Bai handed the ancient black sword to Chang Xia, his face wrinkled and he said with a distressed look, "But it doesn't seem to like me very much."
Changxia didn't ask Li Bai why she chose this sword. She lowered her eyes to look at the "Wu Ji" sword, and flicked the sword with her fingers, making a crisp sound. The ancient long sword seemed to be very dissatisfied, bounced up, turned over, and then fell silent again.
Like a person who was woken up from sleep and turned over.
“Then how did you pull it out?”
"I didn't pull it out. I fried it with a talisman and spirit rice."
...I finally know what that little bit of smoke and dust I saw at the foot of the mountain just now was.
Fortunately, Wu Ji was very respectable, and this was the only sword buried within a hundred meters, so Li Bai dared to explode without any worries and did not damage other swords.
"It's like it's holding a piece of wood, not letting me pull it out, but when I dig it out, it doesn't resist."
Chang Xia smiled and said, "They all follow the same virtue of Xiaoyao Dao, governing by doing nothing. Come on, we've chosen the sword, and Senior Sister will take you to dinner."
Li Bai asked: "Can I help Brother Xiao Su and A Yang choose again?"
When she found out that she could take the sword by force this way, her mind became active.
I really never forget Zhou Xiaosu.
"You can use Wu Ji because it's a sword that goes with the flow. Other swords have their own temperaments. Even if you pull it out, Zhou Xiaosu won't be able to use it." Chang Xia refused. "Besides, Zhou Xiaosu uses a knife, so a sword doesn't suit him. Don't worry, I asked someone to make him a set of knives a few days ago. He'll like it."
"As for Ayang...you don't have to worry about her. Senior Sister Lianhua has made arrangements."
Li Bai whispered "Oh", and then happily followed Changxia to prepare to eat.
Changxia didn't forget Xingyun, but out of some bad taste, she planned to wait until he slowly climbed up the mountain before telling him about going down the mountain.
So she said to Li Bai with a smile: "Do you want to see Taichi, the most powerful sword in the sword tomb?"
Li Bai nodded immediately: "Yes!"
Although she heard along the way that people who went up the mountain to ask for the sword said that only those with a predestined relationship could see Taiyi, she never doubted the ability of her senior sister.
If her senior sister says she can take her to see him, she will definitely see him!
