Chapter 127: Rebellion or protection?
When the sword is drawn, it has a direction to go, and it will strike wherever it points.
What Ji You felt in the forest was the sword intent that was directed towards Tianjian Peak several times, and the murderous aura was very strong.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Zhengyang's hand suddenly stopped.
The movements he used to wipe the sword were always gentle, and he did not touch the sharp blade, but at this moment, a gap was cut in the deerskin in his hand.
Qi Zhengyang raised his head and looked at Ji You seriously, with a fierce coldness in his eyes.
"Cleverness can get you killed. If you insist on guessing things that you shouldn't know, you'll lose your life."
Ji You was not afraid: "That means I really have a clear mind for swordsmanship."
Qi Zhengyang frowned: "When did you guess it?"
"I sensed the murderous intent in the first forest, but it was not until the third forest that I was sure that the elder wanted to kill someone. However, the murderous intent was erratic, as if he didn't know who to kill. Especially the [Thinking of Wuxie], which inexplicably weakened in the end. I guess he didn't want to kill me."
Qi Zhengyang continued to polish his sword: "That [Thinking of Wuxie] was meant to be a little weaker in the end. It has nothing to do with you."
Ji You nodded: "It really has nothing to do with me, but I think Elder Qi didn't want to harm Yan Shujing, so he changed the sword intent in advance, because the elder knew that the disciple was innocent, and it was Tianjian Peak who was guilty."
As soon as these words were spoken, the mansion fell silent.
But along with it, a sharp murderous aura was gradually revealed, as if foreshadowing that someone was about to die.
Qi Zhengyang is the elder of Tianjian Peak, but Ji You repeatedly said that his sword was pointing at Tianjian Peak. Logically speaking, he should have been beheaded by now.
But the murderous aura gradually subsided after whistling for a while, and there was no real sword swinging.
"There are many people in the ruins who shouldn't have died, including my son."
"He had average talent and aptitude for cultivation, and he only loved chess. However, he was forced to the ruins by the people of Tianjian Peak, and died there."
"I was in seclusion at the time, and by the time I learned the news, I no longer had the chance to take action."
"Later, several elders from Tianjian Peak sent their sons to me, saying they wanted to show their filial piety to me, but I knew they wanted my swordsmanship."
"By then, all the Zheng family members were dead, and I didn't know who to attack with the sword."
"But if I don't avenge my son, wouldn't I be unworthy of being a father?"
"When I set up the Sword Forest, I wanted to kill everyone in Spirit Sword Mountain, but in the end I thought clearly that those people were innocent. Today I can only strike with one sword, and I will kill the one who deserves to die the most."
Qi Zhengyang's voice was calm and restrained.
Judging from his expression, no one knew that this elder from Tianjian Peak was about to settle the account with Tianjian Peak for the loss of his son.
Only those who can truly see through his sword intent can know where his sword is pointing.
Qi Zhengyang just felt it was a pity at this moment. It was a pity that this person was a disciple of Tianshu Academy, and the sword art that he had been studying all his life could not be passed on to him.
But at least, he sent out four swords, and did not let all his achievements in this life go to waste.
"You have already learned the three swords, leave now."
"I thought the elder told me this because he thought that since we were going to kill someone to silence them, it was fine to just chat."
Qi Zhengyang didn't even raise his eyes: "Since my sword is already unsheathed, you can't speak faster than me."
Ji You did not leave, but found a cushion to sit on. "I escaped from the ruins, and I saw the people from Tianjian Peak ordering the disciples not to retreat, even though everyone knew there must be a conspiracy."
Qi Zhengyang was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Whose fault do you think this is?"
Ji You thought for a moment and replied: "No one should die for others' greed, unless they are greedy..."
"My son is never greedy!"
"Then it's all due to Tianjianfeng's greed."
Qi Zhengyang's eyes suddenly became deep, and then he murmured, "Yes, it's Tianjian Peak."
Ji You looked at the sword and suddenly changed the subject: "But the elder still has a wife and daughter, and the Qi family also has other clansmen. If we destroy both of them now, it will only bring greater karma. Elder Qi taught me the three swords, so he can be considered my sword teacher. I came here to persuade the elder to think twice."
Hearing this, Qi Zhengyang suddenly looked at him again.
Ji You was wearing Yan Shuyi's old sword robe at this time. Because it couldn't be closed, his full chest muscles were exposed, which was unbearable to look at.
"So it wasn't me who dragged you here. You wanted to come here on your own. No wonder you didn't struggle at all."
"If I hadn't discovered Elder Qi's sword intention at the end, I would have run away after breaking through the forest. After all, I am a disciple of Tianshu Academy, and I have never thought of worshipping the elder as my master. I came here with the elder just to share some humble opinions."
"I've heard your humble opinion many times."
Qi Zhengyang placed the sword on his knees and said, "Everyone knows that I have relatives. Everyone says that this is all the fault of the Zheng family and the Chen family. I pretended to agree, but in the end, I still couldn't control my sword heart."
The sword art of Lingjian Mountain seeks straightness, cleanness and directness.
Therefore, once some things come to mind, it is difficult for the person to suppress them.
After the incident with the ruins, everyone said they wanted to seek settlement with the Chen family and the Dan Sect.
But in Qi Zhengyang's opinion, the ones who really need to be held accountable are those who knew there was a tiger in the mountain but still forced their disciples to go there.
Whenever he thought of his son, his austere swordsmanship would stir, and he could not persuade himself to reconcile with Tianjian Peak.
After thinking for a long time, Ji You spoke again: "Elder, if you draw your sword now, I'm afraid you will only be accused of being a traitor and despised by everyone. Then no one will remember you, and your swordsmanship will also be lost."
"So what? I have avenged him after all, but it will cause hardship to my tribe members, as well as my wife and daughter..."
In Qingyun world, there is the Immortal Sect at the top and numerous noble families below it. It is the foundation but also a shackle.
Just like when they first visited the ruins, Wen Zhengxin, Ban Yangshu and Pei Ruyi knew they were going to die, but they still had to go.
But Qi Zhengyang's sword was too straight, it could hide the heart but not the sword.
Over the past half month, his sword heart was almost possessed by a demon, and he could not suppress his murderous intent at all. The reason he had endured until now was that he did not know what to do with his wife, daughter, and clan members.
"If you were me, what would you choose?" Qi Zhengyang suddenly looked at Ji You.
Ji You sat and thought for a long time: "On the way here, I also thought a lot, and put myself in their shoes. I think there seems to be a way to get revenge and be worry-free."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Qi Zhengyang looked at him with interest: "What do you want for me?"
"The Immortal Sect is powerful, and it is difficult to avenge personal grudges. I am afraid that it will bring disaster to my family. If I were Elder Qi, my only choice might be to abandon Tianjian Peak and help Xuanjian Peak."
"Because in my opinion, that young master is the future of Lingjian Mountain, and he can also make Tianjian Peak's greed come to nothing."
"When I followed my master to ask for advice, I heard a story on the mountain. It said that the young master of Lingjian Mountain did not like being the master. He was so angry that he wanted to sink the Lingjian into the Xuanhai."
"But later, she heard that the people of Xuanjian Peak were always bullied by Tianjian Peak, so she never said she would abandon Jianzi again, and imprisoned herself on the top of the mountain, becoming the fastest Yingtian Realm in the world."
"The elder's daughter is on the mountain, and the family's nephews and nieces should all be on Lingjian Mountain now. If the Taoist lineage eventually returns to Tianjian Peak..."
Ji You paused at this point and stopped talking. He pursed his lips and said, "Everyone has to die. It may be as light as a feather now, or as heavy as Mount Tai in the future."
Qi Zhengyang frowned upon hearing this: "The Yan family are all birds of a feather. I won't believe them anymore."
"But no one died at Xuanjian Peak. The young master of Lingjian Mountain had ordered his disciples to evacuate early in the morning, not wanting them to die in vain. The reason why she was around the ruins at that time was because several disciples were lost on the mountain, and she went down the mountain to look for them personally."
Ji You looked at Qi Zhengyang and said in a resounding voice: "My sword is the most upright. It should not be used to betray the sect, but to protect the Dao."
He chewed the young master's hoof and held her in his arms for a long time.
If she insists on marrying him in the future, she will not be able to form an alliance with the Wendao Sect, and he will have to find a way to help her guard the mountain.
The perfection of the upper five realms is the strongest fighting force under the Taoist tradition, and even in the Tianshu Academy there are only five.
When he felt the murderous aura in the third forest, he guessed that Elder Qi must have had a rift with Tianjian Peak.
Therefore, breaking through the fourth level was not just for the sake of face, but also because he wanted to meet Elder Qi, killing three birds with one stone.
He is a swordsman who stole the sword, and also a disciple of Tianshuyuan who did it for face.
But no one probably knows that he is also a lobbyist for Xuanjian Peak.
Qi Zhengyang looked at him and suddenly fell silent, then raised his head again: "Are you acquainted with the young master of Lingjian Mountain?"
"I've always admired her."
"He's still a lecher..."
Ji You coughed and said, "Admiration is one thing, but in the final analysis, I don't want Elder Qi to die in vain, which will make his relatives sad and his enemies happy. Although the young Master Jian is weak, he is the orthodox of Lingjian Mountain. Regardless of name and righteousness, Elder Qi's future sword strikes must be more upright than they are now."
Qi Zhengyang kept repeating the phrase, "When relatives are sad, enemies are happy." After a while, his eyelids trembled slightly: "Then how long should I wait? Do I have to wait until I die of old age?"
"Not long."
"That's easy for you to say."
"Elder, everyone says that the world is going to be in chaos, so the barbarians started to attack Hantie Pass, and the demons suddenly wanted to trade with humans after being closed off for a thousand years. Under such circumstances, Tianjian Peak will definitely not be able to stand the loneliness and will take action to seize the orthodoxy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Zhengyang's sword made a clanging sound, and he fell into silence.
Those with a clear sword mind can feel the changes in sword intent, just like now.
After a long silence, Qi Zhengyang suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him: "You didn't say you wanted to learn swordsmanship when you came here, but you always talked about irrelevant things. I am very curious about what you want?"
"I don't want anything, I just have a kind heart that likes to help others, and I always want to take care of some of the injustices in the world."
"to be honest."
"I want to choose a good sword to give to a woman, but after choosing, I always feel that the ones are too bad."
Qi Zhengyang looked at the sword in his hand: "You want my sword? Unfortunately, this is my natal sword and I can't give it to others."
Ji You smiled and thought, no need, I have already found a good sword for her.
