The Spirit World

Chapter 758: Silent Sword

[What I am talking about with you is always the historical perspective of group possibilities, not the historical perspective of heroic possibilities.

This possibility does not mean that someone will definitely accomplish something or that someone will definitely do the right thing, but that this world is formed by one person, many people, all people, and all things living one minute at a time. It does not appear suddenly, nor can it disappear.

This is the only way to seek truth from facts. 】

"I wish to have a serious talk with you about weapons."

An old man stroked his beard, sat leisurely on the podium, took a sip of green tea, coughed very seriously, and looked at the disciples who were not so willing to listen to the class. Everyone also looked at that disciple and became surprisingly quiet.

The disciple was also a little confused as to why everyone suddenly became quiet. He also coughed softly and slowly lowered his head.

"Li Jingyue, tell me what a knife and a sword are!"

The old man closed his eyes. The disciple was a little embarrassed, but he still stood up unsteadily.

"A knife... um... a knife is... a knife, a sword... that's a sword!"

Li Jingyue's answer was not very good, but it caused the people around him to laugh quietly, but the old man did not take it seriously.

Li Jingyue has many clever tricks, and all the Gold-level disciples of Bailing Mountain are aware of it.

"A knife is a tool for cutting, slicing, chopping, chopping and hewing. It has a single-edged blade, similar to a pictographic knife, which is a knife." The old man stroked his beard and supplemented Li Jingyue's knowledge of knives.

"Sword, what is it?"

The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Jingyue again. Li Jingyue scratched his head and was unwilling to say anything.

After a few seconds of pausing, he felt that he was probably wrong, so he slowly said: "A sword is... a long iron weapon with a sharp end and two sharp blades. It has a handle to hold it... and... a hook blade. Many swords in ancient and modern times have been transformed."

"Sit down."

The old man waved goodbye, and Li Jingyue sat down angrily and smiled at the person next to him.

"Knives and swords are all made of iron, and they are different from the kitchen knives we talk about. The knives we talk about are the long swords we use to practice swordplay, and the broadswords. The swords here are mostly three-foot swords, not gold or silver swords."

"Bai Ling Mountain emphasizes controlling objects with spiritual power, rather than simply controlling swords with spiritual power. Unlike other immortal cultivation sects, swords are used not only to attach spiritual power, but also to draw the spiritual power of heaven and earth, so as to achieve the purpose of using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for my own benefit. Therefore, in general cognition, swords are just a medium between the spiritual power core of our Dantian and the spiritual power of heaven and earth. Using other things as a medium can also achieve the same effect, but the power is different."

The old man waved his hand, and a sword flew out of the scabbard into the air. The blue spiritual power pulled the sword to rotate above the heads of all the disciples, and finally it slowly stopped, emitting the light of the ice-blue sword itself.

"Just like this sword, it was made by our Bailing Mountain craftsman. The material itself can't be said to be patchwork, but it's acceptable. It's enough for disciples like you to use, but it would be too unfair for people who are a little stronger than you. For example, geniuses at the Tianzi level, they need to use a blind sword that is more difficult to draw the spiritual power of heaven and earth, so that they can exert their strength."

"The swords you use can make it easier for them to practice channeling the spiritual power of heaven and earth, but there will be some control over the spiritual power. If you feel that this kind of sword is too easy during practice, you can go to the craftsman shop and apply for the use of the Heavenly Grade Blind Sword. Don't be too rigid."

The old man waved his hand again, and another sword flew out of the scabbard, flashing with cold light, and once again flew over the heads of the disciples.

The disciples looked up and saw that the old man's spiritual power was indeed strong enough to make the two swords shine brightly, almost brighter than the sun, visible to the naked eye.

"I think that you are in Bailing Mountain, and you are in contact with swords every day, so you must understand this truth. That is, the swords you use must be made in Bailing Mountain, and they are severely restricted. Except for some masters who teach some spells, the rest of the time, this kind of sword is no different from a wooden sword and can't hurt people at all. It's better to use it as a blunt weapon."

The old man spoke slowly, and some of his disciples nodded in agreement.

The swords of the disciples of Bailing Mountain are more or less powerless. They can hardly even cut vegetables with them. Except for those who need to change swords or practice magic at specific times, most of them use such non-lethal swords.

That is, you cannot release spells that are too powerful.

The disciples of Bailing Mountain were not allowed to go down the mountain, so it was even more impossible for them to need another sword.

Although the disciples all carry their own swords, they are obviously forbidden to use them.

"My purpose in this lecture today is to tell you what a normal sword should look like. This can help you gain a deeper understanding of swords."

The old man gave his Taoist boy a look, and the Taoist boy stepped down from the stage and pushed out a small table from the podium.

There were some meats on the table.

For example, a chicken, a pig, a cow, and a black stone.

“Have you ever eaten these?”

The old man asked, and the disciple of course smiled and answered yes.

The old man made a sword gesture, stretched out his hand, and with his index finger, a raw chicken thigh flew in front of him.

"Now, let me ask you a question."

The old man turned around and slowly looked at the crookedly sitting disciple, and said loudly: "If I use a sword to chop this chicken thigh, including the chicken bones inside, how long will it take me to cut it in half?"

When the disciples saw their master asking this question, they all smiled. The old man was named Chen Qilin, and he was the 33rd master in the Imperial Celebrity List. He had never been here before, and the reason he came to Bailing Mountain to give lectures was because the Chen family and the Ning family were on good terms.

It was just a simple chicken, but facing such a powerful being, let alone using a sword, even if it just glared at it, the chicken thigh would have been torn into pieces and exploded to pieces on the spot.

This is no joke.

Seeing that everyone was laughing, the old man nodded with satisfaction.

It happened in a flash. Before Master Chen Qilin could even finish his sword move, the sword flew over and in a flash, the chicken legs were scattered on the spot.

Not to mention a few sword strikes in an instant, even if hundreds of sword strikes were made, no disciple would be able to see clearly.

All the disciples were amazed and applauded. Chen Qilin asked his disciples to be quiet, waved his hand, and the piece of meat with the pig bone flew in front of him.

He asked: "This is half of a pig. I ask you, how long will it take me to cut this piece of pig, including the bones and meat, into two parts?"

Chen Qilin touched his beard again and said half-jokingly: "Just now it was chicken bones, now it's pig bones. The comparison between chicken and pig makes me feel a little embarrassed~"

Of course the disciples knew he was joking.

I also started to guess when it would be.

Most of them took a matter of seconds, but some actually took several minutes, which made everyone laugh.

Chen Qilin made another sword move. The sword flashed and exploded, burning the pork and pork bones. In a split second, half of the pork fell to the ground along with the bones. The Taoist boy caught it and prevented it from falling to the ground, and slowly retreated.

The disciples shouted loudly and applauded.

Chen Qilin lives up to his reputation. Killing chickens and pigs is a waste of his talent. He also has a cow bone. This cow bone is different at first glance. It is black and should be the black-bone wild cow that is abundant in the Western Regions.

Black bone beef is delicious, but the bones are very hard. Most of the time, it needs a skilled chef to cook it in order to eat it. Not to mention the butchering of the beef, even cutting the meat requires skill.

"You have seen the bones of this black-bone barbarian bull, so I will not keep you in suspense. Just guess a number. I need a few minutes and seconds to cut the bones. Not only that, I need to cut them into small pieces and turn them into bone paste."

Chen Qilin smiled happily and stroked his beard.

Some disciples felt that Master Chen Qilin was confident that he would always achieve a three-second single shot.

Some disciples disagreed. They thought that the former must not be aware of how powerful the Black Bone Bull was, and guessed more than ten digits.

The rest are still pondering and have not expressed their views.

Because everyone knows that Chen Qilin can definitely cut the bones of the Black Bone Bull, but it takes a few seconds to guess, and it has to be minced into bone paste, which means cutting it repeatedly until it is diced.

Chopping bones into small pieces is not something that can be done in seconds.

Chen Qilin was smiling happily. Seeing that all the disciples were using their brains, he put his index and middle fingers together and used his spiritual power to guide the sword on the ground. Who would have thought that with just a flash of sword light, the black bones turned into mud and fell down in lumps. In a matter of seconds, Chen Qilin used the sword specially used by the gold-level disciples to chop the black bones of the black-bone bull into bone mud.

The disciples were a little stunned. This was even faster than the previous two times. Chen Qilin seemed to be leaving some room for himself, and his expression was expressionless.

All the disciples began to cheer loudly.

The applause was deafening. Not to mention showing support, even if the 30th-ranked celebrity in the empire came to perform a segment, it would be worthwhile to come to Bailing Mountain to study.

"I, actually, have another question for you all. Please listen carefully to what I am going to say next."

Chen Qilin signaled for everyone to be quiet, and waved his hand with a smile, asking the Taoist boy to clean up the chicken, pork and cow bones here.

He glanced at Li Jingyue, who looked at him enviously. He squinted his eyes and smiled.

Most of the top 100 celebrities in the Imperial Celebrity Directory taught at Bailing Mountain. Not to mention teaching of unique skills, just watching these prestigious masters come and go was a pleasure.

What else do you need a bicycle for when you can see a master who wields swords like clouds and moves smoothly like water?

All the disciples fell silent, waiting for Chen Qilin's question.

Their eyes were all on Chen Qilin, but they had no idea what Chen Qilin would say next.

Chen Qilin slowly sat down and took a sip of the green tea. The sword above the heads of all the disciples also began to roar slowly.

The sword that had cut through flesh and bones returned to the sky and hung over the disciples' heads.

Everyone looked towards the two swords. The sunlight was rippling and blue light was shining on each sword. It was so sharp that it was blinding, and so ugly that it lasted for a long time.

"I want to ask everyone here, do you think your meat or bones are as hard as the chicken, pig, and cow bones just now?"

Chen Qilin closed his eyes and drank his tea quietly. The disciples were in an uproar and started making noise?

"what?"

Is this... a threat?

All the disciples had bewildered expressions on their faces, some even didn't understand what was going on, and they all stood up. It took less than a second for them to change from smiling to serious.

This sentence is terrible.

Because just now Chen Qilin cut the chicken, pig and cow so fast that it was hard to see clearly, this time, he is not going to cut a person...

Even if it's not, it still makes people feel uncomfortable.

However, Chen Qilin naturally knew that there would be such a discussion, so he opened his eyes and said in a serious tone: "Guess how many seconds it would take me to cut a person into minced meat?"

Now, all the disciples looked at his serious and indifferent eyes.

Chen Qilin now looked as if he really wanted to pull one person out from among all the disciples, and chop him down quickly, emitting a cold chill.

This is not a joke, this is scary, what nonsense are you talking about?

Even if Chen Qilin was joking, few people would think he was joking.

"I bet that none of you has bones harder than this cow. In other words, your meat is unlikely to be harder than this chicken bone."

Chen Qilin said slowly: "This is also the reason why I want to talk to you about swords today."

"Our ancestors invented knives, swords, and even the now-lost gunpowder. They were not for fun or to intimidate, but to kill the enemy in battle. They were extremely useful weapons."

"This is a cold weapon. It is definitely not something you can use to show off your chivalry. When you hold this sword, you must be prepared to be killed by it."

"Besides, even if you don't want to hurt others with a sword, there is absolutely no way to prevent others from hurting you without a sword."

Knives and swords are always weapons without any emotion. Even if they become spirits of swords, they are not gentle at all. They will kill their enemies with swords and will never show any mercy. "

"Never, ever, ever think that swords and gunpowder are cool or fun, and never, ever, ever, ever use swords and knives as a means of solving problems."

"Because there are always people who are better than you. If someone weaker than you holds a sword and you don't have a sword, then he is a hundred times stronger than you. If someone stronger than you holds a sword, he can definitely chop you into minced meat. Even if you are lucky enough to kill him, there is no guarantee that you won't be chopped into minced meat by others next time."

"I hope these two swords hanging over your heads will keep you humble forever."

"If you really encounter a very strong enemy, or a troublesome opponent, or even an enemy who needs you to be chivalrous."

"The first thing you need to pay attention to is always your own safety. Even this kind of inexplicable chivalrous act may cost you your life."

"I'm not asking you to be cowards! I'm asking you to realize that knives, swords, and gunpowder are not the only means to solve problems. In your future training, you will also understand that running away from a powerful enemy is not a shameful thing."

"Many problems in this world cannot be solved by tragic, righteous death. Quite the contrary, death is the most useless and the most undesirable situation."

"Young people, most of the social problems in this world have nothing to do with you."

"Use your brain more, not your sword. Swords are tools, and you should not expect swords to solve problems."

It is definitely important to protect yourself! Very important! Very important!

Of course, the overall situation here is not correct. Please pay more attention.
