Chapter 51 Annual Festival
Outside Chaoyang Town.
Lu Qing stood quietly on the road on a black blood horse, looking at Chaoyang Town, which was quiet in the cold wind in front of him, Lu Qing felt calm in his heart, and his whole body seemed to be integrated into the air around him. Whether it was trees or the flying sand and dust, it seemed that there was also the winter phoenix that came out to seek food, flapping its wings and flying by, as if it had existed around him, natural and harmonious.
This is the second day after Lu Qing left Chaoyang City. After this tour of Chaoyang City, his great gains were unexpected. Not only did he succeed in breaking his original heart, but he refining the innate realm to reach the sword element realm. He only needed to accumulate enough sword element to naturally reach the small heavenly position of the swordsman. Moreover, the impact of these three days of iron-making on him was even more huge, and his grasp of strength had almost qualitative changes.
From the old man, Lu Qing knew that when he learned his hammering method, he also learned the self-improvement of his hammering method. This is the profound realm of swordsmanship. However, since he only understood the realm of lifting heavy weights, he could not really use this realm. But even so, Lu Qing had a leap of understanding of the realm of lifting heavy weights, just like a person who started trying to lift a thousand kilograms of rock, but he couldn't lift it. However, after a long trial, he would feel much more relaxed when he lifted the 100-kilograms of rock he had lifted before. The same is true.
"Gao—" Retracting his thoughts, Lu Qing rode into the town on a black blood horse. Now there are only three days left before the New Year Festival, and Chaoyang Town is gradually becoming lively. Whenever this time, the market's business is the best, and every household has to prepare food and offerings for the New Year Festival.
The so-called annual sacrifice is a tradition that has been passed down for 50,000 years on the Sword God Continent. It is mainly to commemorate the ancestors of the family. The great ceremony of burning incense and offering sacrifices to make the souls of the deceased ancestors live in the dark sea between the earth. Although no one knows the truth of the dark sea between the earth, more people who have believed in it for 100,000 years will become true.
At this time, next to the streets of Chaoyang Town, many four or five-year-old children were playing and celebrating the arrival of the New Year Festival. For them, the arrival of the New Year Festival means that they will eat the best food of the year, get the latest clothes, and renovate everything. This is what they care about the most. For things like worshiping ancestors, in their opinion, it is not as attractive as a piece of fragrant pastry.
A smile appeared on his face. Looking at the warm scene, Lu Qing smiled so relaxed, but then his smile restrained. These were all the people of his Chaoyang Town and his people. Although he had not officially become a guard, the time was approaching. It would only be three years after the New Year's Festival.
He wanted to rise up for their peace and prosperity. At this moment, Lu Qing looked at the cheerful smiles and said to him.
Lu Qing led the black blood horse to Lu Mansion. Most of the people in the town knew him and saluted him one after another. There were even simple Zongmin stuffing the wild pheasants that had just been hunting back into Lu Qing's arms. These people were all the people Lu Qing had been watching since he was growing up. In addition, some passing merchants also showed curious eyes at Lu Qing. Although Lu Qing was in a calm and concise mood now, he had no idea of being watched. He turned in from a small street intersection and Lu Qing walked all the way back to Lu Mansion.
Old Yi waited in front of the door early in the morning and ordered his servants to lead the horse in. Old Yi turned his eyes to Lu Qing, but was stunned, because he found that Lu Qing's aura had completely changed, from the original momentum to the silent, just like an ordinary person with no cultivation. His skin and flesh were as crystal clear as jade, and a fresh fragrance radiated on his body, which also made people closer to him.
Of course, Lu Qing cannot be an ordinary person. This is what Yi Lao knew before, so now there is only one possibility, it is really-
A look of shock and disbelief appeared on his face. Yi Lao's voice trembled and said, "After the sword master refining the innate and reborn in the emptiness, his body will exude a fresh fragrance like a newborn baby for a period of time. Young Master, you——"
Nodded affirmatively, Lu Qing said: "Yes, I've reached it."
"This--" Yi was a little unbelievable. Although he had guessed the facts, hearing Lu Qing say it in person at this moment was another shock.
Indeed, if there are more than 2,000 swordsmen who have established foundations and gathered Yuan in Zixia Sect, including all the disciples of the inner sect and guardians, then there are only more than 100 people who have reached the second sword element realm of the sword path and entered the swordsman level, and among the other nearly 900 people, four or five hundred swordsmen may have four or five hundred swordsmen who are stuck at the threshold and cannot break through, because they cannot break their original heart, so that their spiritual consciousness can guide the sword element to break through the Baihui acupoint without being taken advantage of by the inner demons.
This also allows everyone who can become a swordsman to have a considerable status and identity in the entire sect domain. For example, the deacon of Zixia Sect needs to have the swordsman level cultivation, while the guardian needs to have the swordsman level cultivation. These are all real power figures in the sect domain, and most of them have the power of life and death in one side.
Therefore, if there is a swordsman or even a swordsman in the entire Zixia Sect, it will be an amazing family or force. For example, the five major families today have their own swordsman character to protect the house, so they have their current status.
Now that Lu Yun, the head of the sword master rank, has passed away, and the Lu family, the first sword-making family of Zixia Sect, has accumulated more than a thousand years of foundation, will have many people peek at it. Even if Yan Ruyu, the swordsman of Zhongtian, has suppressed the cultivation level of the swordsman of the Huangfu family, it has coveted it. But now it is different. In addition, Lu Qing, a new young swordsman, can completely intimidate the surrounding towns, but at least no one will come to attack the Lu family. At least those five major families want to move the Lu family, they have to take out the sword master at the bottom of the box.
When Lu Qing was welcomed into the face, although the shock on Yi Lao's face had not yet dissipated, he had already begun to show an excited expression. The Lu family's power is unstable and has been turbulent. Even business in various places has been suppressed. However, as long as Lu Qing's identity as a swordsman will be released, it will immediately settle down. No one is willing to fight against such a pillar of the sect that may be about to rise in the inner sect.
Walking through several yard corridors, a group of servants were busy cleaning, replacing the cloth screen that had been used for a year, and many of the vessels were replaced with new ones. Only the sword-casting house in the middle had been ordered, so no one moved. The broken wooden door that day had been repaired after Lu Qing left, but the new color was very disharmonious with the color of the wall and stone next to it. When Lu Qing saw it, he seemed to touch the string hidden in his heart, and pushed open the door and walked in.
It was still the square Qingyuan Condensing Furnace, and the hundred-pound fire jade hammer was quietly placed on the desk beside it. The clamps, casting molds, and quenching pools were still exactly the same as before, and even the placement did not change.
All these were done by my mother, Lu Qing said in his heart. Although my mother had resentment towards her father's intoxication and sword making, the deep affection of supporting each other was still the same, otherwise she would not have done such a move. She wanted to keep yesterday.
After looking around for a week, Lu Qing felt that he stopped stopping and closed the door and went out gently. But Yi Lao sighed softly after following him. He followed Grandpa Lu Qing since childhood and watched Lu Yun grow up since childhood. He treated Lu Yun as his own son, taking care of all the affairs of the Lu family for him, making him feel at ease indulging in the way of making swords without worrying about anything else. Now that it has only been half a year, things have changed, and the changes in the world really make him sigh in his heart.
Later, after seeing Yan Ruyu, Yan Ruyu was also shocked by the changes that happened to Lu Qing. However, he cried with joy. Lu Qing's achievements are now Lu Qing's young age. He has experienced so much. In the past dynasties, the Zixia Sect, who can break through his original heart is not the experience of adulthood and the accumulation of many human feelings and worldly ways. Even those disciples of the inner sect have broken through through the sword formation. However, Lu Qing is still only thirteen years old. It is possible to imagine how much he has taken on such a task in his heart.
Three days passed quickly, and the New Year's Festival also began. The Lu Family Ancestral Hall was incense, the previous New Year's Festival, worship, sweeping the hall, night watch, etc., and all kinds of things were also needed to receive the New Year's greetings from the shop managers of Chaoyang Town and other places in Lujiafang City, etc., and Lu Qing had no complaints. He knew that these were all things he needed to come into contact with in three years.
It was not until ten days after the annual festival began that it gradually calmed down. During this period, Lu Qing also stabilized the state he had previously broken through, and the fragrance of the baby that had been refined innate gradually dissipated. At night, he also began to take silver ginseng and Zizhi to improve the sword energy. His cultivation was a thousand miles a day, and another half a month later, the sword energy missing in Lu Qing's body had been upgraded from the original Zhongtian level of the first sword enters the sword to the Great Heaven level of the Sword Master, and he mastered the use of sword energy leaving the body.
The so-called sword energy is a new ability to master in the second realm of the sword path. Because the Baihui point is opened and the human beings are connected with the heaven and earth's vital energy, it can always use the heaven and earth vital energy to restore the sword energy, as if it is nurtured in the mother body and can absorb the vital energy at any time. Therefore, swordsmen at the swordsman level are often called innate swordsmen. Sword energy leaves the body, which means that swordsmen use their powerful recovery ability to absorb the heaven and earth vital energy to shoot the sword energy out of their body. Only by reaching the swordsman level can they use such ability. Without connecting to the innate realm of heaven and earth, even if the swordsman in the Great Heaven level fights all the sword energy in his entire body, he can only shoot out one sword energy and will be exhausted. (Ten steps to the newcomer list, urgently seek recommendation votes and collections, I hope everyone can help them generously, let ten steps really kill one person, without leaving a thousand miles away, and kill to the top ten!)
