In a trance, I feel as if I have returned to my college days, spending all day in the library, looking for favorite books among the piles of old papers. Which book I encounter or miss is all determined by fate and human destiny. Or the fate of books. (On Aikanshu.com)
It’s a surprise if you meet it, but if you miss it... you’ll miss it.
In the heart of the mountain, time passes by, and the Grimace Order beats every twelve hours, faithfully reminding him that there is not much time left. Wei Shiqi searched almost all the jade slips on the third floor and memorized a lot of miscellaneous information, but still found no substantial gains.
In the last two days, he gave up his tireless search and came to the fourth level of the outer sea. He casually read through the travel experiences left by Kunlun disciples of past generations to relieve his boredom.
There is God's will in the dark. He noticed that in the corner where the bright pine stone was not illuminated, there was a dim jade slip. The top of the stone trough was engraved with "Linchuan Miscellaneous Notes" and the bottom was engraved with "Linchuan Miscellanies". The word "sword".
Wei Shiqi casually pulled out the jade slip and browsed ten lines at a glance. They were all words written down casually, similar to "notes". The contents involved cultivation, anecdotes, utensils, scenery, and experiences, ranging in length. First, some are just one or two sentences, and some are hundreds of words
One of them talks about sword cultivation, which is very insightful.
There are two ways for sword cultivators to practice sword techniques and improve the power of sword control. One is to focus on oneself and improve the cultivation level, and the other is to focus on external objects and temper flying swords. Focus on yourself, follow the sword light, sword energy, sword thread, and sword spirit to break through in sequence, until you reach the great state of "one sword breaks all laws". Focus on external objects, and focus on the flying sword itself, such as the Five Elements Sect's flying sword. The Poison Sword Sect uses poison quenching and transformation to enhance the power of the flying sword, while the Hook Sword Sect works hard on changing the shape of the flying sword. Such a flying sword is more similar to a Taoist magic weapon or magic weapon.
Kunlun Sword Cultivators usually take into account both cultivation and flying swords, but there is a certain emphasis. Generally speaking, Yujian Sect and Feiyu Sect focus on the former, while Five Elements Sect, Poison Sword Sect, and Hook Sword Sect focus on the former. the latter. There are also extreme examples. For example, there was a senior in the Sword Controlling Sect with the surname Ximen who completely abandoned the flying sword itself and spent his whole life integrating secular swordsmanship into sword control, supplemented by chopping, slashing, breaking, and teasing. , blocking, washing, intercepting, stabbing, stirring, pressing, hanging, cloud and other techniques can defeat the enemy purely by changes in speed. Another example is that there is a senior from the Poison Sword Sect named Bi who has never even practiced sword techniques. An extremely powerful "Seven Poison Invisible Sword", which has defeated countless powerful enemies, and can be regarded as an outlier among sword cultivators.
There is also an article about Liushi Peak’s three caves and four valleys.
The three caves are Ziluo Cave, Tulong Cave and Water Bat Cave. Several rare elixirs can be found in the Purple Luo Cave. There is a thousand-year-old purple radish deep in the cave, and the purple radish fruit it produces is the main ingredient for wine making. There are thousands of earth dragon snakes entrenched in the earth dragon cave. The earth dragon saliva is used to refine mixed poisons, and the snake bones can be made into the embryos of magic weapons. The Water Bat Cave is a water cave with thousands of twists and turns and bottomless depths. Stone eels live in the stone crevices under the water. There are countless vampire bats hanging upside down in the cave. It is said that there are two wise bat kings among them.
The four valleys are Wentang Valley, Suihan Valley, Poisonous Spider Valley and Nanhua Valley. Wentang Valley is surrounded by mountains and benefited from hot springs. There are flowers that never fade in four seasons and evergreen grasses in eight sections. It is a good place to collect Ganoderma lucidum. Suihan Valley is located at the northernmost tip of Liushi Peak. It has a year-round roaring wind and biting cold. The valley is covered with pines and cypresses, and several rare insects can be found under the ice and snow. Poisons are rampant in the Poison Spider Valley. There are hundreds of species of poisonous spiders alone. They devour and mutate each other. Occasionally, a "Poison King" will be produced who can create wisdom and form pills. This is a sword-refining material that the Poison Sword Sect regards as a treasure. Nanhua Valley occupies a very large area, most of which is covered by dense forests. Demonic beasts appear in the area. Demonic elixirs can be used to refine weapons. Some alert civets and foxes can also be used as pets for raising spiritual beasts. They are of little use and can only guard the door or be used as pets to relieve boredom. .
It was very interesting. Wei Shiqi read it with great interest, but there was not much time left for him. He felt a little regretful and hurriedly turned to the last article, which contained only a few words.
"The years pass by, and the seasons flow by. Suddenly, fifty years have arrived. The record of Yueshuo in Linchuan."
Linchuan is the name of a place, and Yueshuo is the name of a person. Wei Shiqi finally knew who left this jade slip - the master he had never met, the younger brother of Taoist Ziyang, and Ruan Jing's biological father, Yue Shuo.
Ghostface Ling became hot, reminding him that time was up. Wei Shiqi regretfully inserted the jade slip back into place, and flew his sword out of the jade sea and returned to the sword pavilion.
Qingming leaned on the railing to bask in the sun, supporting his chin with both hands, staring at the sea of clouds, bored. "Ah, you finally came out!" He said lazily.
Wei Shiqi returned the Grimace Token to him and asked tentatively: "When can you lend it to me again?"
"What sword technique, it takes half a month to return it?" Didn't you remember it?"
"It's not the Sword Technique, it's the travel experiences of the seniors of the Sword Control Sect. It's very interesting."
Qing Ming said with a flat mouth: "No one has that kind of thing. If you care, if you want to see it, I can help you steal it!"
Wei Shiqi was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Qingming didn't take it seriously, he was not polite and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you, that one! The jade slip is in the corner of the fourth floor of Waihai. It's not easy to find. It's called 'Linchuan Miscellaneous Notes'."
