Chapter 32 Sword Type
Chapter 32 Sword Type
Li Qian followed his master Zhou Buping to the square outside the Divine Sword Temple.
So many people.
This was the first time he saw so many people in the inner gate.
Anyone who can appear here is at least a formal disciple.
Just from the huge crowd of thousands of people, one can see the power of the Divine Sword Sect.
After all, it is a great martial arts sect that is feared by the three states and twelve counties.
The number of menial disciples recruited every year was huge. He remembered that when he was in the class, there were almost two to three thousand menial disciples.
After all, the scale of the Divine Sword Sect is too large. The thousands of inner disciples, elders, true disciples, peak masters, etc. are all full-time martial arts practitioners. Their food, clothing, housing, transportation, and other aspects all need menial disciples to do.
Li Qian estimated that there were no less than ten thousand menial disciples in the entire Divine Sword Sect.
"follow me."
Zhou Buping took Li Qian to the front of the Divine Sword Hall.
"Old Man Zhou, this is your disciple? He's quite young."
The fat old man looked Li Qian up and down.
The other elders and peak masters of the Divine Sword Sect were also very curious. After all, Zhou Buping's standards for accepting disciples were outrageous.
Practice the sword jab to perfection.
Which inner disciple would do this?
After formal disciples enter the inner gate, they will directly practice internal skills and no one will practice basic boxing, sword, or stabbing.
Not to mention practicing it to perfection.
The practice of martial arts itself is a race against time.
Once you miss the best golden time period, it will be difficult to overcome this bottleneck.
This year Zhou Buping stayed in Yanmen Valley, hoping to pick out a rough gem from the pile of gravel among the menial disciples.
Is this a success?
However, no one questioned that Li Qian was not qualified to participate in the true teaching selection.
Zhou Buping is a senior elder of the Divine Sword Sect and would definitely not fake it.
What's more, it is impossible to fake it.
If one's cultivation and swordsmanship attainments do not reach a certain level, one will not even be qualified to enter the Sword Sharpening Cave. If one forces his way in, one will only be backlashed by the aura that permeates inside.
When Li Qian stood together with the dozen or so inner disciples who were participating in the true teaching selection, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.
First of all, there are the dozen or so inner disciples. Among the inner disciples, they are already top-notch figures, outstanding and very famous in the inner sect.
But Li Qian has no fame at all.
No one even knows him.
"This Junior Brother, why do you look so unfamiliar?"
A young man in black first touched his bald head with his hand and looked at Li Qian with curiosity.
"Brother, your halo is too bright, so naturally you can't see my existence."
Li Qian said.
"Junior brother, your words are quite interesting. My name is Pang Bai, and I am from Wu Qu Peak."
"Li Qian."
Li Qian said.
The other disciples just glanced at Li Qian and didn't say anything.
But Pang Bai, the bald young man in black, is a bit talkative.
Among the crowd below, several inner disciples who had performed the escort mission with Li Qian last time all recognized Li Qian.
"Look, isn't that Junior Brother Li?"
"It seems to be really Junior Brother Li. Why is he up there?"
Wang Xiangyu widened his eyes.
"It seems that we have all underestimated this Junior Brother Li."
Liu Hui sighed.
"How come Junior Brother Li is in the inner sect and I have never heard of him?"
Ji Su from Yuping Peak had a pretty face full of confusion.
Anyone who is qualified to participate in the true teaching selection must be a prominent figure in the inner sect. How could he remain unknown?
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started."
The leader of the Divine Sword Sect spoke. With a slight vibration, the door of a building next to the Divine Sword Hall slowly opened.
That is the Zhenchuan Hall.
The entire Zhenchuan Hall is built against a steep cliff.
"There are true teachings in the True Teaching Hall to guide you, so go in."
The Divine Sword Sect looked at the nineteen inner disciples who were participating in the true teaching selection.
Soon, nineteen inner disciples, including Li Qian, arrived in front of the Zhenchuan Hall and walked in.
Inside the Zhenchuan Hall, there was a large space with ten figures standing there.
Everyone's aura is very powerful.
Wearing various masks.
This is the true teaching of the Divine Sword Sect.
There are ten true teachings in total.
Originally there were twelve.
There were only two true disciples, but because their time limit had expired, they were transferred to elders.
The identity of a true disciple does not always exist. Once a person reaches a certain age, he or she will automatically lose the identity.
This is to make way for latecomers.
If a peak master or even a sect master abdicates during the term of office of a true disciple, he will be succeeded by the most experienced true disciple.
Therefore, the power iteration among the top leaders of the Divine Sword Sect is often relatively smooth and easy.
"My fellow disciples, before entering the Sword Grinding Cave, I have a few special reminders. If you cannot bear it, you must withdraw in time and do not force yourself. When competing for the sword species, it is strictly forbidden to kill your fellow disciples, otherwise you will be disqualified from the selection of the true disciples and will be subject to the sect rules. In addition, there are some murals in the Sword Grinding Cave that contain mysteries. Even if you cannot compete for the sword species, you can also find suitable murals to comprehend, and you may gain unexpected benefits. Of course, there is a time limit, and you must leave the Sword Grinding Cave before dark. Finally, it is forbidden to damage the murals, otherwise we, the true disciples, have the right to execute them in the Sword Grinding Cave."
The masked master who was in the lead spoke.
The inner disciples present naturally knew about the situation in the Sword Sharpening Cave.
Some inner disciples who thought they had no chance of competing for the true teachings actually also had the idea of comprehending the murals in the cave.
Led by ten true disciples, they entered a door with many inner disciples. Inside was a deep corridor with luminous pearls inlaid on the ceiling, making the corridor dimly lit.
At the end of the corridor, there is a wide stone door.
There are three large, mottled characters "Mojian Cave" carved on the stone gate, and it is clear at a glance that it has been there for many years.
"This is the Sword Sharpening Cave, let's go in."
The true disciple who was in charge said.
Then nineteen people filed in.
The moment they stepped into the Sword-Moxing Cave, they felt an invisible sense of oppression permeating the entire cave.
“Is this sword intention?”
Li Qian felt as if there was a stone pressing on his heart.
Immediately afterwards, his own unintentional sword intent began to stir, as if it was being aroused by something.
He couldn't help but look into the depths of the Sword Sharpening Cave.
That strange attraction seemed to come from inside.
This feeling is very strange.
"Could it be the sword type that Master mentioned?"
Li Qian thought to himself.
According to Zhou Buping, the sword seeds are extremely peculiar. There are a total of twelve of them that the founder of the Divine Sword Sect obtained from the Sword Grinding Cave. It is said that after sword practitioners carry them, they can use the sword seeds to practice in the Sword Grinding Cave, which has a great promoting effect on the comprehension of sword intent, and it is said that they can make rapid progress every day.
Especially those who use swords without comprehending the sword's meaning, can use the secret skills they have comprehended as the core and easily comprehend the sword's meaning.
This seems to be similar to the sound of the Chen bell.
To Li Qian, the effects brought by sword types and sword-sharpening caves were not very attractive.
What's more, once you become a true disciple, you will have to live in the True Transmission Hall and practice in the Sword-Moxing Cave for many years.
He can no longer ring the bell or offer sacrifices.
The other eighteen inner disciples felt the invisible attraction almost at the same time, and immediately rushed towards the depths of the Sword Grinding Cave despite the ubiquitous sense of oppression.
Li Qian did not follow him, but looked at the walls of the cave on both sides.
Looking for the mural that Master Zhou Buping mentioned.
