Chapter 359 Half-Demon Fox's Black Moonlight Monk 60
In the eastern sky, a golden beam of light broke through the clouds, dyeing the entire sky into a gorgeous picture.
Thunder rumbled faintly in the clouds, but there was no sign of rain. The earth also began to respond, with slight tremors spreading across the fields.
The birds and beasts also became unusually quiet at this moment. They could feel the powerful aura and instinctively sought cover to avoid being affected by what was about to happen.
With the appearance of the light column, strange clouds appeared in the sky. They slowly rotated and formed a huge vortex, as if welcoming the arrival of something important.
Shen Xinran knew that this was a sign that the Longyuan Sword was about to appear. She hurriedly grabbed Wu Jieying's arm and ran to the east.
Seeing this, Yi Xiaoyue and Cui Wu also quickened their pace and followed closely behind.
The origin of this strange phenomenon is a big mountain. Some people have already arrived at this mountain, and they are Yang Qingyi, Lin Man and his group.
Shen Xinran was not surprised by this, because in the plot they were the first to discover the magic sword, but the world of cultivation emphasizes chance, and the one who discovers first does not necessarily get it first.
An old and powerful voice came from the cave entrance, "Whoever can answer my question will become my master. Everyone has only one chance."
Lin Man's face lit up with joy, for she knew it was the voice of the sword spirit. Since there was only one divine sword, it was obvious that whoever answered the question correctly first would possess it. She eagerly shouted, "I'll go first!"
Sword Spirit: "In your heart, what is the way of the sword?"
Lin Man frowned and pondered for a moment, then held his breath and answered seriously: "Kendo is a sword art that includes various sword techniques, moves, skills and combat strategies to gain an advantage in actual combat."
The sword spirit responded, "Your answer is too superficial. It's not the answer I'm looking for."
Lin Man hastened to add: "Kendo also represents a spiritual pursuit, emphasizing inner cultivation and cultivating willpower through swordsmanship practice."
But the sword spirit announced: "Each person only has one chance to answer, you have already failed."
Seeing this, Shen Xinran quickly pushed Wu Jieying and said with a smile: "Sister, it's your turn, go quickly."
Wu Jieying was pushed to the entrance of the cave, and she only heard the sword spirit ask her: "In your eyes, what is the way of the sword?"
She pondered for a moment, then calmly replied, "Kendo is about freedom and ease. It's about controlling the sword with your mind, letting it move at will. It's about taking unconventional approaches, exploiting the environment and the opponent's weaknesses, and using ingenuity to overcome force."
Shen Xinran looked at Wu Jieying nervously and found that her answer was different from the plot. However, her sister was the best, so no matter how she answered, it would be correct.
But the sword spirit also announced: "This is not the answer I want."
Shen Xinran was furious, his face like a popping rice pot. He was so picky about a broken sword.
Wu Jieying seemed calm. She nodded, stepped aside and gave the opportunity to others.
Chen Xinran folded his arms across his chest, snorted coldly, and comforted Wu Jieying: "Sister, don't be sad, it's this broken sword that has no taste. I will definitely make you a better sword in the future."
Wu Jieying did not feel disappointed. When she heard Shen Xinran's words, she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your sword."
The strange vision in the cave attracted more and more monks to come on their swords. They gathered from all directions just to get a piece of the pie.
Shen Xinran didn't want to let other cultivators take advantage of her, so she decided to find a sword cultivator who was most compatible with her and tell him the correct answer. She looked around and only thought that Yang Qingyi was not bad.
So, she walked behind him and lowered her voice, "Since you let me use the Tailing Sword, I'll tell you the standard answer. Kendo is about direct swordsmanship. Every strike is designed for maximum killing efficiency, without any delay. Kendo is about a calm mind. Even when facing a life-or-death situation, one can maintain inner peace..."
What Shen Xinran didn't know was that while she was saying this, Hu Changfeng had been watching her from a distance with deep eyes.
Yang Qingyi was stunned after hearing this. Before he could fully digest Shen Xinran's words, he was pushed to the entrance of the cave by her.
The sword spirit's voice sounded again: "What is the way of the sword?"
Yang Qingyi subconsciously repeated Shen Xinran's words word for word: "Kendo is about direct swordsmanship. Every strike is designed for maximum killing efficiency, without any delay. Kendo is about a calm mind. Even when facing a life-or-death situation, one can maintain inner peace..."
Shen Xinran nodded with satisfaction, thinking: It should be right this time!
However, the sword spirit's answer was beyond her expectations: "This is not the answer I want either."
Shen Xinran was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart: If even the standard answer is not what you want, then what is the answer you want?
The sword cultivators witnessed the failures of the respondents one after another, and they couldn't help but feel hesitation and fear in their hearts. They chose to retreat, hoping to wait and see for a while before making any plans.
This caused a brief lull in front of the cave entrance, and no one dared to go forward and try.
However, at this moment, the voice of the sword spirit came from the cave entrance, "Not only sword cultivators, but other cultivators can also come and answer my questions. Is the female cultivator in green willing to give it a try?"
Shen Xinran pursed her lips with a look of disdain. A broken sword actually started to call out orders. However, there were many green-clothed monks on the field, and even she was wearing green clothes. She didn't know who the sword spirit was calling.
Just as Shen Xinran was looking around, the sword spirit's voice sounded again, this time more specific, "It's the Green Female Monk standing under the tree with two sky-high braids who was just giving advice to the other monks."
Shen Xinran suddenly realized that the sword spirit was talking about her. She retorted directly: "Are you blind? My braid is not a sky-high braid, it's a pigtail!"
The sword spirit asked directly: "What do you think is the way of the sword?"
After Chen Xinran sneered, he blurted out: "Kendo is like fucking your uncle. You have a broken sword, and you are still here to command troops and generals. Don't you even consider whether you are worthy of it?"
The sword spirit was clearly not expecting such an answer and seemed stunned. After a long moment, his voice could be heard again from the cave: "Very good! This is the answer I was looking for."
Shen Xinran said sarcastically, "Is this the answer you want? Are you a masochist, or do you just want to be scolded?"
Blade Soul: "Your anger represents your unyielding character; your outspokenness shows that you don't covet the title of Excalibur; your rebellion represents your independent spirit. These are all what I desire!"
Shen Xinran didn't know what to say for a moment. She just stood there, quietly listening to the sword spirit's story. The surrounding sword cultivators were also shocked by this scene. How could it be like this?
Perhaps the sword spirit itself could no longer make up its story, so it rushed out of the cave with the Dragon Abyss Sword, emitting a clear and melodious sound of sword: "In short, you are the master I have been waiting for."
The Longyuan sword appeared before everyone's eyes. Its sword body was slender and elegant, and its streamlined blade flashed coldly in the sunlight, as if it contained the brilliance of the stars.
Hu Changfeng was stunned for a moment when he saw the Dragon Abyss Sword. In his previous life, he had died on this very sword, and its owner was Wu Jieying. But in this life, the sword had unexpectedly chosen Junior Sister as its master. Thinking of this, Hu Changfeng's eyes became deep.
