"I am Gu Qingfeng, a junior, nice to meet you seniors." Gu Qingfeng said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
However, he was wondering in his heart how many human demons there were among the seven sect leaders.
As the name suggests, a human demon is a human transformed into a demon.
He did not dare to use the Eye of Illusion to look directly, because when facing these strong men, once he used the Eye of Illusion to spy on them, even if he could see through their background, he would inevitably be discovered by them.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if you are discovered by the demons. Anyway, you have the system with you, so the demons won’t be hurt.
But the question is, who can guarantee that the human-demon side is full of demons? Is there no human traitor among them?
Who doesn't have a few younger brothers, or like-minded friends, relatives, etc.
I have just arrived and haven't figured out the situation yet, so I shouldn't alert the enemy. There is still a lot of time left.
"Well, no need to be so polite." Dugu Wei nodded.
"Gu Qingfeng, I believe you already know why I asked you to come to Jianmen, so I will get straight to the point.
Jianmen needs geniuses like you.
And you also need Jianmen's protection, so it is a win-win situation for you to join Jianmen.
In addition, you have learned the sword canon and recovered the long-lost Ni Lin sword for Jianmen. It can be said that, except for the formalities, you are already half a member of Jianmen.
So, now I invite you to join Jianmen, are you willing?"
"Junior is willing." Gu Qingfeng said without any hesitation, and at the same time added in his heart, I hope you will never think of driving me away in the future.
Dugu Wei smiled slightly, very satisfied.
“That’s great, but before you can join, you still need to answer three questions from me. These three questions are crucial and will determine whether you can join Jianmen.
Although you are a peerless genius and Jianmen is eager to recruit talented people, if you have bad character and ulterior motives, then no matter how talented you are, our sect will never accept you.
This is not directed at you. This is a tradition passed down by our Jianmen since ancient times, and it was ordained by the Emperor Jiantian back then.
Emperor Jian Tian once said that this sect only accepts people with both virtue and talent, or people with virtue but no talent, and even people with neither virtue nor talent can be accepted into the sect at the discretion of the sect, but the only thing that is not accepted is people with talent but no virtue.
Do you know why this is so? "
Gu Qingfeng thought for a moment and replied, "A person without moral integrity and talent, even if he joins Jianmen, he will not be able to achieve anything because he has no talent. Even if he causes chaos in the future, he will not cause significant damage to Jianmen.
However, people with talent but no moral integrity will definitely develop many bad thoughts as their strength grows. Such people are naturally gifted and can easily become strong. Once they cause chaos, Jianmen will suffer heavy losses. "
"Good! Well said, that's exactly it." The more Dugu Wei looked at Qingfeng, the more satisfied he became.
"So in order to prevent this from happening, the Sword Emperor gave us the Heart-Searching Stone to screen our disciples. The Heart-Searching Stone can identify lies. Once a lie is told, the Heart-Searching Stone will vibrate and glow."
As Dugu Wei spoke, he just threw it casually.
A white, translucent, fist-sized stone floated in the air, as if being pulled by a string, and slowly floated towards Gu Qingfeng.
"Gu Qingfeng, take the Conscience Stone and answer my three questions seriously. Remember, don't lie."
Gu Qingfeng took the conscience stone and looked it up and down.
Isn’t this a fantasy version of a lie detector?
He doesn't care. After all, he is a man of virtue and talent, so what is there to be afraid of?
"Master, please ask."
"The first question is, are you truly joining Jianmen and not an undercover agent sent by other forces?"
"I joined naturally with all my heart and I am definitely not an undercover agent." Gu Qingfeng said frankly.
Anyway, he was telling the truth. There were demons here, so of course he joined sincerely. As for being an undercover agent? That was nonsense.
As Gu Qingfeng finished speaking, the stone of conscience in his hand did not react at all.
Dugu Wei looked at Gu Qingfeng with a softer gaze, and continued to ask: "Second question, what is the purpose of your cultivation?"
Gu Qingfeng said without hesitation: "Of course, it is to climb to the top of the world and see the elegance of the supreme sword. For cultivators like me, if we hear the truth in the morning, we can die in the evening!"
The sword fanatic at the side twitched his lips. Hey, hey... is it such a coincidence? Are you also pursuing the supreme sword art? Why do I always feel like you are stealing my lines?
"I know this road will be difficult, and even difficult to achieve in a lifetime, but so what? There is no need to be afraid. The road of martial arts is infinite, and every inch of progress brings joy!"
When everyone heard Gu Qingfeng's words, they were instantly in awe. Is this the mind and pursuit of a genius?
With such a terrifying spirit, no wonder he is able to suppress all the geniuses in Qingmu Domain!
Gu Qingfeng looked at the eyes of the crowd and suddenly felt a little light-hearted. He spoke more and more fluently: "Even if the road is difficult and arduous, I will cut through the thorns and thorns, sing all the way, and move forward courageously!
If heaven had not given birth to me, Gu Qingfeng, the path of swordsmanship would have been like a long night forever!
Who is the peak at the end of the sword path? Once I see the breeze, the path becomes empty! "
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell into an eerie silence, and silent shock flowed in the eyes of the Jianmen’s senior leaders.
The sword fanatic standing by was looking at Gu Qingfeng with astonishment. At this moment, he even suspected that his Qiankun Ring might have been lost accidentally instead of being snatched away by Gu Qingfeng.
"Great!" Dugu Wei couldn't hide his excitement and said, "We cultivators should have this kind of spirit. If heaven hadn't given birth to Gu Qingfeng, the sword path would have been like a long night forever! Who will be the peak at the end of the sword path? Once I see Qingfeng, the path will be empty! What you said is too..."
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Before Dugu Wei finished speaking, the Heart-Searching Stone suddenly vibrated violently, and a red light flashed on it! The frequency of the vibration was even more violent than a girl's toy at the highest setting.
Gu Qingfeng stared blankly at the conscience stone in his hand, thinking, is bragging also considered lying?
Everyone was stunned when they saw this.
Dugu Wei's excited expression paused slightly, and there was a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Cough." Dugu Wei coughed tactically, as if he was not the one who was excited just now.
"Gu Qingfeng, tell me the truth. What is the purpose of your cultivation? Don't exaggerate. The Heart Stone has no spirituality. Even if you exaggerate a little, it will judge that you are lying."
Dugu Wei thought that there was a little bit of water in Gu Qingfeng's words, so the Heart-Searching Stone made the sound.
Gu Qingfeng thought about it, then tentatively said: "Supreme Sword Dao?"
Buzz buzz buzz...
Damn it!
Gu Qingfeng was so angry that he almost threw the stone of conscience away.
"Master, is this heart-searching stone broken?"
Dugu Wei also had a puzzled look on his face. This shouldn't be the case.
"Sword maniac, try taking the Heart-Searching Stone."
The sword fanatic who was named suddenly had a bitter look on his face, just like a middle school boy who was about to die socially.
"Sword Maniac, what are you practicing for?"
"To be handsome, to be admired by the world." The sword maniac said with a look of despair on his face.
As expected, the Heart-Searching Stone neither vibrated nor glowed.
