Chapter 53: Sword Tower Selection
The most glorious sect in the past, after hundreds of years of baptism in the Dharma-Ending Age, is a very small number of sects that can be inherited. In addition, the frequent wars in ancient times have occurred, and it is extremely difficult to say that the sects that can be inherited to this day are all called extremely difficult.
The Sword Sect, which built the sect in Shushan, has always been famous for its low-key practice. In modern people's words, the Sword Sect takes the elite route. Although there are not many disciples in the sect, they are all elites, and it is extremely difficult to mess with just one out.
Perhaps it is this kind of low-key and inability to follow the world that allows the Sword Sect to continue to this day. But in the Dharma-Ending Age, only a few sets of sword techniques can be used, but if you lose the true energy to activate it, what's the use of sword techniques that cannot play a role at all?
For example, swordsmanship is a shell or missile, then true gas is fuel and catalyst. What is the difference between having an empty shell but no fuel? In the era of firearms, swordsmanship has evolved into a form of stage performance.
After listening to the story of Chihuo Zhenren, Hu Xuanzong smiled and said, "True Man, if you don't mind, can you let me break into the sword forest on your behalf? If you can obtain the inheritance, I will definitely leave the sword-controlling technique to your sect."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chihuo Zhenren was stunned and said, "Daoist's bone age is not yet at Double Ten?"
"Yes! To be precise, I still have about half a year before I get to the age of Double Ten."
Listening to what Hu Xuanzong said, Chihuo Zhenren and his four disciples were completely stunned. Originally, in their opinion, Hu Xuanzong was at least about twenty years old. But who did not expect that he was not twenty years old.
If you want to break into the sword forest and enter the sword wall and understand the supreme secret art of the sword sect inherited, you must break into the sword forest once before you are twenty years old. Compared with the sect inherited sword sect, the Sword Sect ancestor hopes that the disciples of the disciples can understand it themselves.
Only the sword-controlling technique that one can cultivate the sword sect disciples who truly exert the power of this sword technique to the extreme. What they have learned by themselves and what they have learned according to the script is naturally more impressive.
I knew that two of the four disciples under my sect had lost the qualification to enter the sword forest. The most talented disciple also tried to enter the sword forest. Unfortunately, he returned in the end without success and had to withdraw from the extremely dangerous sword forest.
In the Dharma-Ending Age, the power of the sword forest can exert is also small. Now that the spiritual energy is revived, the power of the sword forest is also increasing. This means that the disciples of the sword sect who entered the sword forest later have to undergo even greater tests than they are now.
It is clear that no one can enter the sword forest. After careful consideration, Chihuo Zhenren said, "Fellow Daoist Xuanzong, I believe you should know that the sword forest and the inherited sword wall are the supreme inheritance of this sect and are not allowed to enter unless people in the sect.
Although the Sword Sect has declined in my hands, as a contemporary sect of the Sword Sect, the old Taoist also has the responsibility and obligation to protect this foundation for the ancestors of all generations. Therefore, the old Taoist has a suggestion, and I hope that fellow Taoists can consider it.”
After hearing these words, Hu Xuanzong thought for a while and said, "What do you mean by the real person? But please just say it! "
"As far as I know, fellow Taoist is a guest elder of the Tianshi Mansion, is it?"
"Yes!"
"Does fellow Taoist consider becoming the outer elder of my Sword Sect? If fellow Taoist is willing to condescend and become the outer elder of my Sword Sect, then the secrets of the Sword Sect's cultivation can be opened to fellow Taoist. Even the sword forest and the inherited sword wall are the same!"
Compared with the weight of the guest elders, the weight of the outer sect elders is higher. Being an outer sect elders means that they can interfere in the affairs of the sect. On the contrary, the guest elders are all careless and have no power or obligations.
After thinking about it, Hu Xuanzong also said directly: "I am indeed a little flattered by the true man's reputation. But one thing is that the true man should know that I have the inheritance of my own mind and shoulder the responsibility and obligation of reviving the sect.
Therefore, even if I take over the position of the elder of the outer sect, it will be difficult for me to stay in the sect forever. All I can do is to do my best to help the sect. If the disciples of the Sword Sect are born in the future, I will do my best to care for them."
Regarding Hu Xuanzong's frankness, Chihuo Zhenren also smiled and said, "This is natural! To be honest, even if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has recovered, Yu Dao missed the best opportunity to practice, and his future achievements are probably extremely limited.
Although the four disciples under my sect are all made of materials. But fellow Taoists should know that they need more experience in growing up. Inviting fellow Taoists to become the elders of the outer sect in this sect is also hope that fellow Taoists will be able to caress one or two of my Sword Sect in the future. The old Taoists are very grateful!”
"This is natural! I will take on this cause and effect and will fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of an outer sect elder. And I believe that the disciples of the Sword Sect have a more focused nature than their roots. It is also my honor to be an outer sect elder!"
After the terms were agreed, Chihuo Zhenren did not hesitate and directly took Hu Xuanzong into the ancestor's hall, showered and burned incense to pay tribute to the ancestor, Hu Xuanzong became the outer elder of the Sword Sect. After giving the salute, the four disciples of the Sword Sect didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Compared to the two underage disciples, after drinking a cup of tea from Hu Xuanzong, they felt that Hu Xuanzong was a good person. However, the two adult disciples knew that their current abilities were far inferior to that of this outer elder who was younger than them.
As the elder of the outer sect, Hu Xuanzong first saluted to the Master Chihuo, who was the sect leader, and then the four disciples of the Master Chihuo, then saluted to Hu Xuanzong. After these rituals, Hu Xuanzong had another identity as an elder of the outer sect.
After the introductory ceremony, Chihuo Zhenren seemed to be very happy and said: "Xuanzong, today is the day when you become the elder of this sect, and there is nothing that the sect can give. I heard that you love collecting ancient swords, so today I will allow you to go into the sword tower to pick up a sword!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Xuanzong also became interested and said, "Thank you, the sect leader! I think the ancient sword collected by the sect should be extraordinary, right?"
"That's all the legacy of the sect. Speaking of which, we younger disciples have not been able to contribute to the sect. Today, you will be a blessing for the sect. It is natural for you to give you a magic sword."
"Then I'll thank the sect leader!"
Under the guidance of Chihuo Zhenren, Hu Xuanzong quickly came to the sword tower where the sword sect stored magic swords. As soon as he approached this small stone building, Hu Xuanzong could feel the sharp sword edge. Ordinary people would not dare to get close at all!
Seeing that Hu Xuanzong seemed to feel the sword intent contained in the sword tower, Chihuo Zhenren also sighed: "The Sword Tower in the past was the place where the famous swords of the Sword Sect collected. It's a pity that we later generations have made the sword covered with dust."
"The sect leader should not be sad. This is a fixed number of heaven. How can we change it? Fortunately, the world is changing greatly now. As long as we are willing to chase it, I believe that our Sword Sect can still defeat all the heroes in the future!"
"I hope so!"
Taking out a sword-shaped key, Chihuo Zhenren also said directly: "Please choose a sword, choose a sword. After entering the building, you can choose a sword by yourself. As for whether you can pick a real good sword, it depends on your luck!"
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
Hu Xuanzong, who bowed and stepped into the sword tower, quickly saw thousands of ancient swords hanging in the wall of the building. However, these ancient swords were hidden in the scabbard without exception. Whether good or bad is really based on feelings.
The sharp sword edge filled the entire sword building. Looking at the trembling sword from time to time, you can also hear the sword sound coming from time to time. According to the words of Chihuo Zhenren, the sword sounding sword can be obtained by Hu Xuanzong.
But what surprised Hu Xuanzong was that the sword that released the meaning of sword sound seemed to be much more than he imagined. Even when Chihuo Zhenren who was staying outside the building heard the sound of sword sounds from inside the building, he looked shocked.
"How is this possible? Qianming's voice, is this son a sword-cultivating genius?"
Qianming means that Hu Xuanzong stepped into the sword tower and had thousands of swords willing to become Hu Xuanzong's sword. But Hu Xuanzong finally chose that sword, which depends on Hu Xuanzong and that sword that is most destined to be!
