Volume 2 Whose Era Chapter 64: Past Events
Wang Chen smiled kindly at the young disciple, then walked over and took out three things from the storage ring that Lan Qingzi had just given him.
First, he handed a green jade pendant to Lu Rong.
"This jade pendant is made of thousand-year-old cold jade, and is engraved with a meditation formation. After wearing it, when you comprehend the sword tactics, you can calm your mind and concentrate, and achieve twice the result with half the effort . Junior Sister Lu, I give it to you."
"Thank you, senior brother." Lu Rong took it happily and couldn't let it go.
He turned to Zhou Shuwu and said, "Old Four."
This call suddenly startled Zhou Shuwu. Even Lu Rong turned her gaze away from the jade pendant and looked over, with an inexplicable meaning in her eyes.
"This silver-scaled python armor is for you. It's a good thing that you have an indomitable character, but remember, rigidity is easy to break. A true magic weapon is one that can advance and retreat."
Every word of Wang Chen's evaluation hit the nail on the head. At this moment, his comprehension of sword techniques was not inferior to that of many older generation cultivators. If he still couldn't see through the personalities and skills of these young Qi Condensation cultivators, then he would have practiced in vain for so long.
He spoke earnestly, a role of a senior brother, without any flaws. He handed over the silver-scaled python armor while looking serious.
Zhou Shuwu opened his eyes wide and raised his hands, as if he was struggling in his heart.
"Junior brother, just take this, which the senior brother gave you." Seeing that Zhou Shuwu did not move for a long time, Lu Rong quietly pulled the corner of his clothes and urged him.
"Pah." Zhou Shuwu looked struggling.
Suddenly he stretched out his hand, knocked the soft armor in Wang Chen's hand to the ground, and shouted.
"Who asked you to pretend to be a good person?"
"And you." Zhou Shuwu shouted at Lu Rong.
He pointed at Wang Chen and shouted excitedly: "Why do you still call him Big Brother? Do you know how much grievance and exclusion our lineage has endured because of him?"
"What are you talking about? If you want to win the respect of others, you have to rely on your own strength. Why are you going crazy if you don't work hard on your cultivation?" Lu Rong was furious, and the style of a senior sister suddenly came out.
"It doesn't matter if Jiang Yu hasn't made any progress in the past ten years, I still respect him and regard him as my senior brother."
"But do you know what they are saying about us now?" Zhou Shuwu looked extremely excited, with veins bulging on his forehead.
"They said that your lineage has the fewest people and the lowest level of cultivation. The disciple Jiang Yu behaved in a despicable and mean manner outside, and had a long history of bad deeds. Even recently, it was widely rumored that he sold out his teammates in the middle of a battle and used the blood-reversing technique to escape. It was because of him that the master became disheartened..."
"That's enough."
Lu Rong was excited, his eyebrows raised, looking up at Zhou Shuwu, who had higher cultivation level than him and was half a head taller than him.
"Although we are a small and weak sword sect, we also know how to respect our teachers."
"How dare you yell at my senior brother? I will punish you to face the wall for three days in the Thunder Cave in the back mountain."
"Then what did Second Senior Brother say? If it's not because of Jiang Yu, Second Senior Brother..." Zhou Shuwu's face flushed and he argued loudly.
"Pa." Lu Rong suddenly slapped Zhou Shuwu on the face.
This slap seemed to have stopped everything. Zhou Shuwu was stunned for a long while before he looked at Lu Rong and shouted:
"You actually beat me for him? I am now a hundred times stronger than Jiang Yu was back then. Many inner disciples recognize me as their leader. Only I can make our lineage proud."
Zhou Shuwu pointed at Wang Chen as if he was pointing at an enemy.
"Go face the wall." Lu Rong said coldly.
"Okay! Just wait and see how Jiang Yu will embarrass our family this time."
After saying that, he flew towards the back mountain on his sword angrily.
The second senior brother Zhou Shuwu mentioned is Lan Qingzi’s second disciple Chen Luojiang. What happened to him?
Wang Chen was slightly stunned, because he suddenly felt an extremely subtle but clear sad thought coming from the mask.
"Is it Jiang Yu's own divine consciousness?"
"Big Brother, don't mind it. Xiao Wu means no harm. He may be a little impulsive, but he admires you very much in his heart. I will teach him well in the future." Lu Rong said with a stiff smile.
Wang Chen smiled. How could he take the words of a Qi Condensation disciple to heart? Besides, he came here to learn the more advanced Qiankun Sword Technique and had no interest in the family affairs of these sword veins.
He hung a dark golden pendant in his hand on the youngest disciple and said, "This pendant is engraved with a protective formation that can block a full-strength attack from a foundation-building cultivator. I'm giving it to you."
This kind of magical protective weapon is what these cultivators with low cultivation base need most.
The young man was stunned by the inexplicable conflict and was a little dazed, not knowing what to do.
"Why don't you thank Senior Brother?" Lu Rong called out.
The young man came back to his senses at this moment and said happily: "Thank you, Senior Brother.
My name is Yan Xin, and I have been here for two years. "
Wang Chen touched the young man's head and his eyes vaguely swept towards the direction where Zhou Shuwu was flying his sword.
Last time, he used the soul-locking device to change his identity, but he got involved with Qian Xiaoyun.
This time, he changed into Jiang Yu's identity, but inexplicably came into his sword vein.
There seems to be a kind of destiny pulling us along.
On a small hill, among the white clouds, Wang Chen sat cross-legged, carefully studying the intelligence jade slips he had obtained from the Tianji Sect.
Lan Qingzi is a free-spirited person with extremely high cultivation level. Disciples with average qualifications are not worth his attention.
Jiang Yu was the first disciple he accepted.
And Jiang Yu did not disappoint his expectations, showing a very high talent for cultivation. He entered the inner sect at the age of fifteen, and reached the realm of the fifth nirvana at the age of twenty . He passed the trial and became one of the inherited disciples of the Qionghua Sect.
Such talent is extremely rare in the Qionghua Sect, which is full of geniuses. After that, none of the four disciples that Lan Qingzi accepted could make such rapid progress as him.
Therefore, Jiang Yu became the object of respect by all the fellow disciples in this sword lineage.
Zhou Shuwu, in particular, was even more crazy about his admiration for Jiang Yu.
However, the good times did not last long. Just after Jiang Yu joined the inner sect, he went out for a year of training. After he came back, his temperament changed drastically. He became sarcastic and mean, and acted strangely and despicable. If he could attack by surprise, he would never do it head-on, and if he could do it covertly, he would never do it openly.
He used the Qiankun Sword Technique in a tricky and strange way, which gradually went against the kingly and heavy spirit of the Qiankun Sword Technique. His cultivation did not improve at all from then on.
Became a laughing stock of the Qionghua Sect.
In the assessment of the disciples who were to inherit the legacy, his ranking was getting further and further behind, and he was recognized as the person most likely to be eliminated from the inheritance sequence.
At this point, Lan Qingzi, who had placed high hopes on Jiang Yu, became disheartened and stopped accepting disciples. This sword lineage gradually declined and became lifeless.
At the beginning, Jiang Yu was considered as "another family's disciple" by all the major sword sects. They also looked up to him because of him.
However, Jiang Yu's fall gave his peers, who had been overshadowed by his halo, a reason to revel, and they insulted and suppressed Jiang Yu's fellow disciples in various ways.
Lan Qingzi's second disciple, Chen Luoyan, could not bear the humiliation of his clan, so he duelled with others and was beaten to death on the spot.
The fourth disciple, Zhou Shuwu, was unwilling to be bullied, so he practiced very hard and gained some fame. Now he is one of the best inner disciples.
Unconsciously, a scene emerged in Wang Chen's mind of a graceful senior brother instructing his younger brothers and sisters.
However, it was difficult for him to reconcile this scene with the figure who pretended to leave when they first met, but then launched a despicable sneak attack, and finally escaped quickly using the blood-reversing technique.
Although he had only met Jiang Yu once before he killed him with his sword, it is probably because of this that Wang Chen is the person who knows the truth of the matter best.
I'm afraid that the real Jiang Yu has already been possessed by that dark soul.
Secretly sorting out the time points when Xiaoyao stole Jiang Yu's thoughts, Wang Chen speculated that Jiang Yu was possessed by this dark soul when he was 21 years old. From then on, his temperament changed drastically and his cultivation stopped improving.
At this point, the chain reaction caused all sorts of problems in the entire sword vein.
A dead genius is no longer a genius. Wang Chen sighed and stood up.
Staying alive and defeating "other people's disciples" will prove others' mistakes, and from then on you will reach the peak of your life. This is the dream and expectation of many people.
And this kind of expectation is much more realistic in the world of cultivation where human life is worthless.
When this expectation comes true, one can imagine the exposure of the evil in human nature.
whoosh!
Suddenly, a sword whistled in the air.
"Is it him?" Wang Chen looked up and saw Zhou Shuwu flying away hurriedly on his sword.
