Drifting in the sea of ​​suffering, I can’t help myself.

Scenes from the past flashed before Liang Yan's eyes like a revolving lantern.

He has made choices at countless intersections, but has also suffered the consequences...

Have you ever been unwilling in the past? Do you have any regrets?

There definitely is!

The road to self-cultivation is long, and everyone has past experiences that they cannot bear to look back on.

But since I set foot on this road, I was destined to never look back!

Liang Yan thought to himself that his heart was stable and he rarely looked back at the past, but at this moment, for some unknown reason, the figures of his old friends actually appeared in front of him out of thin air.

well!

The lonely shadow on the cold river, and finally I am the only one...

Liang Yan sighed in his heart, his sorrow spread like a tide, and soon swallowed up all his thoughts!

At this moment, the three chaotic sword energies in his body vibrated slightly.

In an instant, an unyielding will appeared in his heart, as if it were a tall mountain, unmoving. No matter how his emotions changed, it could no longer affect his state of mind.

After a moment, he cleared away all his melancholy, and his eyes once again burst into sharp light.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, what does this mean?" Liang Yan said coldly.

When Fang Xi saw that he had regained consciousness in a moment, his face changed slightly and his eyes showed surprise.

But soon, he changed his smile and said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, fellow Taoist, our Hidden Sword Academy does not accept mediocre people. Since Fang is in charge of the Juxian Pavilion, there is no reason why we need to test it. Fellow Taoist performed well just now.

, it can be regarded as passing the assessment.”

After hearing this, Liang Yan didn't buy it, and still said coldly: "Then I want to ask, is this assessment a rule of the Hidden Sword Academy, or is it the rule of Fellow Daoist Fang himself?"

Fang Xi was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Liang Yan to hold on to her.

After thinking for a moment, he said calmly: "This... is Fang's own decision. But since the academy has asked Fang to preside over Juxian Pavilion, then I should have this right, right?"

"If there is an assessment, the academy should clearly stipulate it. How can we suddenly resort to cold arrows?" Liang Yan was reluctant and seemed to want to make this matter bigger.

He was indeed angry because the other party had just touched upon some of his bad memories.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the field was getting more and more serious, Liu Rushi suddenly chuckled and said leisurely: "Fang Xi, you are making your own decisions again. Unfortunately, this time you have hit the wall. I am not the one who suffers the consequences! You don't want to either.

Let those old men know about this, right? It’s better to show some sincerity to avoid making the matter bigger."

"you!"

Fang Xi glared at her, but saw that the woman was smiling, as if she was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

After a moment of stalemate, Fang Xi sighed: "Forget it, who made me feel cheap with itchy hands? As compensation, I gave fellow Taoist a piece of 'Listen to the Bamboo Order', and the matter was revealed. What do you think, fellow Taoist?"

After hearing this, Liang Yan did not answer immediately, but looked at Liu Rushi beside him.

The latter smiled and nodded slightly towards him.

Liang Yan finally agreed and reached out to take Fang Xi's "Listen to the Bamboo Order".

"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Taoist. We didn't know each other without fighting, so we can be considered acquaintances from now on." Liang Yan changed his previous attitude and became much more relaxed.

Fang Xi smiled slightly: "Fellow Taoist has a good foundation and is a good swordsman! I have registered your information in the register. This is your identity token. With this token, you can move around in most areas of the academy. Waiting for you to officially

After you enter the academy, you can listen to lectures in the academy like us."

After saying that, he handed over another token.

This token is made of green wood and looks simple and elegant. It has three small seal characters "Lu Xuanji" engraved on it.

"Thank you." Liang Yan reached out and took it.

"Haha, it's so rare that you still have a day when Fang Xi is defeated!" Liu Rushi looked gloating and smiled brightly.

But Fang Xi didn't take it seriously. She sat on the chair and stretched out leisurely: "When you are drunk, you don't know that the sky is on the water. A boat full of dreams overwhelms the stars... Alas, those who disturb others' dreams are guilty of heinous crimes. Two

It’s a good place to leave!”

After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep on the chair.

Liang Yan and Liu Rushi looked at each other, and the latter smiled and said: "That's what this scoundrel is like, don't worry about him, let's go."

"Um."

Liang Yan nodded and followed Liu Rushi out of Juxian Pavilion.

The two of them fled all the way and soon entered the depths of the mountains of the Hidden Sword Academy.

The mountains here are steep, the woods are dense, various buildings are hidden in the mountains and forests, and the air is filled with a faint scent of books.

Liu Rushi led him to turn off the escape light and came to the mountain road.

"From here we enter the central area of ​​the academy. Most of the schools are set up in this area. In order to show respect for teachers, monks under the saints are not allowed to fly in the air here." Liu Rushi introduced to him.

road.

Liang Yan nodded.

He was not surprised by this. Many sects had similar rules, let alone Confucian sects.

Liu Rushi added: "There is a road map behind your token. According to the guidance of the road map, you can reach your cave."

After hearing this, Liang Yan took out his identity token and took a look at the back. Sure enough, there was a red line, and the end should be where his cave was.

"Thank you, Fairy, for clarifying my doubts." Liang Yan cupped his hands and said with a smile.

Liu Rushi said calmly: "You can go to the cave on your own later. I am bringing you here now to join the academy. There are two major schools in the Hidden Sword Academy, namely the Heart Sword and the Wisdom Sword. The founder of the Heart Sword School is Yu.

The founder of Sword Immortal and Huijian Ryu is Shu Sword Immortal, and both of them are swordsman saints. You can choose one of them to be your teacher, and you will listen to his lectures from now on."

"oh?"

Liang Yan became interested as soon as he heard this.

Isn't it that he traveled across the ocean and came to Dongyun Lingzhou to explore a higher level of swordsmanship?

"There is indeed a swordsman saint here!"

Liang Yan was secretly happy and couldn't wait to ask: "I heard that there are seven realms of sword cultivators, but I don't know which realm these two ancestors are in?"

"Of course it's the Sword Mind Realm." Liu Rushi said disapprovingly, and then added: "Otherwise you would think that the last two realms of sword cultivation have been lost long ago, and the Sword Heart Realm has come to an end!"

"ah……"

This answer was like a sap blow to Liang Yan's head.

"Lost? Are the two ancestors only in the sword mind state?" He couldn't control it for a moment and blurted out.

Liu Rushi rolled her eyes at him: "What do you mean by just the sword mind state? This is the state that many sword cultivators dream of? In the entire Sword Collection Academy, except for the two sword immortals, only a few of their direct disciples can reach the sword mind state. Others

Seeing as you have the cultivation level of the Sword Infant Realm, you are only one step away from the sword heart, but this step is a world of difference, and the distance cannot be measured in miles!"

Liang Yan came back to his senses and realized that he had just lost his composure. He immediately nodded and said, "The fairy is right. I am too addicted to the sword. I always think that there are higher mountains ahead, but I make the mistake of aiming too high.

"

"It's good to know. Judging from your reaction just now, I thought you were already in the sword mind state." Liu Rushi joked.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Liang Yan felt a shiver in his heart, knowing that he would be confused if he cared, and he almost exposed himself, so he couldn't help but be secretly vigilant.

He quickly changed the topic and asked with a smile: "By the way, what are the Heart Sword and Wisdom Sword that fellow Taoist just mentioned?"

"The sword of wisdom cuts the body, the sword of heart cuts the heart." Liu Rushi said calmly.

"How do you say this?"

"Huijian combines various secret techniques of Confucianism in the way of swordsmanship. It can be said to be ever-changing and difficult to guard against. As for the Heart Sword..."

When Liu Rushi said this, he smiled softly: "The sword of the heart is invisible, but it is the sword that kills the heart!"

"The Heart-Destroying Sword..." Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Liu Rushi added: "That Fang Xi just now is the Kujian, one of the 'Four Secrets of the Heart Sword'. You must have experienced it."

"That's it." Liang Yan looked astonished.

He just felt strange, how could Fang Xi interfere with his mind?

You must know how huge the power of his spiritual consciousness is. Even just one third of it is enough to crush the sub-sage. Ordinary illusions are completely ineffective against him.

Fang Xi is just a monk who has overcome eight difficulties, but he can actually interfere with his own spiritual thoughts, which makes him feel incredible.

Only now do I realize that what Fang Xi used was not an illusion, but the "Heart Sword"!

This sword is invisible, it can kill people and kill people, it is indeed overbearing!

Liu Rushi seemed to have guessed part of his thoughts, and said with a smile: "I know you have great magical powers, but don't underestimate Fang Xi. Although he is not a sub-sage, he has the strength to kill a sub-sage, like Murong Changfeng

He is no match for him at all, even if he fights against me, he is still capable of fighting... So, if necessary, don’t offend this person again."

Liang Yan was slightly surprised after hearing this.
