Seeking the Flying Sword Path: Postscript, many years later

A long, long time has passed since Qin Jianxian killed Zhu Rong and swept away all the demons. It has become a legend in the Three Realms.

On an official road.

There are six riders riding forward, three middle-aged men and three young men and women.

"Can I join the Sky-Splitting Sword Sect?"

The young man ‘Liu Qi’ was confused.

His father Liu Qianshan is one of the Seven Eagles of Baihe County's "Seven Eagle Castle". At the beginning, he and the other six senior brothers were all outer disciples of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect. The seven fellow disciples had a deep relationship and joined forces to build the Seven Eagle Castle and settled in Baihe County. The ‘Seven Eagles of White River’ are also quite famous.

"The Sky-Splitting Sword Sect, which commands the entire Eighteen Prefectures of Jiangnan Dao, is the top sect in the world." Young Liu Qi thought, "Some of the inner disciples of the Sky-Splitting Sword Sect were cultivated by high-level disciples of the sect since childhood. Some are selected from the outer sect disciples. Those who enter the inner sect directly are very few. Now there are only ten inner sect disciples in the Dongxiang Mansion. Can I get in?"

"It's just ahead."

A man with a broken arm on horseback had a sword on his waist and said, "Each of the eighteen prefectures of Jiangnan Road only has ten places for inner disciples. Our seven brothers have been suffering in the outer gate for many years, but we have not been able to enter the inner gate. , I can only look at you, the younger generation.”

"Give us some air." Another elegant man also said.

"Yes."

Liu Qi and another boy and girl all responded.

The younger generation of Seven Eagle Castle have practiced hard since childhood, and the three of them are the best.

……

Splitting Heaven Sword Sect, branch of Dongxiang Mansion.

Today, a large group of parents and elders came with their children, and they all dared to participate in the primary election. They all had some basic skills. Either he is a wealthy businessman, or he is a descendant of a disciple of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect, and he has been cultivated since childhood.

"I made it clear in advance that only those who practice basic internal skills can join our Sky Splitting Sword Sect. If you practice other internal skills, please leave quickly." An old man in green shirt looked at thousands of young men and women, and the surroundings were quiet. .

"Okay, this year's screening assessment is the first level."

The old man in green shirt pointed to a towering mountain behind him, "Within one stick of incense, I climbed from the foot of the mountain to the top with bare hands."

"Is this the first level of the year?" Many parents and elders in the distance were worried.

……

Many young men and women climbed quickly on the steep mountain wall.

They all have internal strength and know the light skills, and they can climb quite quickly. But the time for burning an incense stick is too short, and many accidents will happen while climbing. For example, someone else stepped on the rocks deliberately and the rocks flew around.

"Ah." Boys and girls often fall, and disciples of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect immediately fly up to catch them, but they are all eliminated.

……

"There are one hundred and twenty-six people who have passed the first level. If you are willing, you can all join our Sky Splitting Sword Sect and become outer disciples." The old man in green shirt said with a smile as he looked at the young girls. , Liu Qi also stood among them, but his two companions failed. Liu Qi looked back and saw his father and uncles in the crowd outside the railing in the distance.

"Dad, uncle, third uncle." Liu Qi saw his elders at a glance.

"Xiao Qi, give it a good try." The three elders looked excitedly and expectantly, but the pair of boys and girls beside them were a little red-eyed.

Liu Qi nodded slightly, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

……

"They all sat down cross-legged and began to operate the internal energy method to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as quickly as possible."

"Liu Qi, talented, inferior!"

……

"Come one by one and demonstrate basic sword skills."

"Wang Tong, swordsmanship, Yi Zhong."

"Liu Qi, swordsmanship, under armor."

……

"Let's all go and have a rest. We will start early tomorrow morning for a competition in the ring."

"Liu Qi, actual combat: A-level."

……

After two days of screening.

The one hundred and twenty-six boys and girls who passed the first level are also ranked.

"Liu Qi, ranked seventeenth." Liu Qi looked at the ranking on the red list and fell silent.

"Uncle Li, my Xiaoqi ranks first in terms of swordsmanship and actual combat, even in the top three! The two people who are comparable to my Xiaoqi, one is the son of the palace lord, and the other is also a Dongxiang swordsman. The third son of the Holy Family. My little Qi can match them, and his swordsmanship is extremely high, right? "Can't we make an exception?" Liu Qianshan begged in front of the old man in Qingshan.

"Qianshan, it's not that I won't help you, this is the sect's rule. Your son's ability to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can only be regarded as ordinary, and he has the qualifications of a subordinate. And this time the best one has the qualification of 'A'" , absorbing the spiritual energy of the world is five times that of your son! Ten years of practicing internal strength is equivalent to fifty years of your son's practicing of internal strength." The old man in green shirt said, "Swordsmanship is important, but internal strength is the foundation, and the internal strength is too far apart. How can this work? ”

"But my son is only fourteen this year and already has such swordsmanship. Isn't it worth cultivating?" Liu Qianshan asked.

"Only fourteen! Next year and the year after that, your son will be able to compete again." The old man in green shirt said with a smile, "Maybe next year and the year after that, your son will be ranked in the top ten and enter the inner gate directly."

Liu Qianshan was silent.

The Seven Eagles are considered heroes in Baihe County. But in the entire Eighteen Prefectures of Jiangnan Province... they can only be regarded as third-rate.

Liu Qi stood in the distance, silently watching his father argue with Guardian Li.

……

On the way back, Liu Qi was a little silent.

"Xiao Qi, you can rank seventeenth in the entire Dongxiang Mansion. This time the top ten have all entered the inner sect of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect. Then if we compete again next year, you will definitely be in the top ten." The man with a broken arm laughed loudly.

Liu Qi said nothing.

"Next year? Many people practice until they are fifteen or sixteen years old, and then come to compete when they are close to the age limit. There will be new opponents next year." Liu Qi said silently, "But my qualifications will not change. , still Bixia."

"Be brave, you will be stronger next year than this year, and you will definitely be in the top ten." Liu Qianshan also said.

"Yes, Dad." Liu Qi responded.

Liu Qianshan and his three senior brothers exchanged glances with each other, but they were all quite stressed.

"Xiao Qi's swordsmanship has already reached the first level. At such a level, it is very difficult to take another step forward. Will he be able to enter the inner sect next year?" Liu Qianshan said silently, "Only after entering the inner sect can I enter the inner sect." Learn the truly powerful method. Otherwise, you will end up being just a second-rate person in this world."

……

A bookstore.

The young Liu Qi came to this bookstore very familiarly and looked through the storybook. Every time he feels tired during practice, he will come here to find some story books to read. If he is immersed in the story books, he will forget about his fatigue.

"Xiao Qi, looking at you like this, you can't become an inner disciple of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect?" There was a shop owner waving a cattail leaf fan and lying on a bamboo chair in the bookstore, "Haha, let me, Lao Qin, tell me Hit it."

Liu Qi glanced at the shop owner and ignored him.

"I told you earlier, you are still young, it will be in vain if you go, but you don't listen, no, it will be a waste of work." The store owner couldn't help but added, "If you ask me, if you go when you are sixteen, Must hit."

"Uncle Qin, can you say a few words less?" Liu Qi said helplessly.

"Come on, come on, tell me, how did you lose this time?" the store owner asked curiously.

"Tell me and I'll give you a few pointers. Maybe you can win next time."

"Hey, hey...you kid, why can't you hit a fart with three sticks? You are such a boring gourd!"

Liu Qi finally couldn't help but look at the shop owner: "Uncle Qin, I am slow to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and I have a low talent! Tell me, how can you give me advice?"

"This is a bit difficult." The shop owner stroked his white beard, "But if you, Uncle Qin, and I think of a way, it's not impossible."

"Those who can change talent are the legendary treasures of heaven and earth. Uncle Qin, please stop joking." Liu Qi curled his lips. His family was also a martial arts family, and he still knew some common sense from childhood.

"Humph, who said you have to have treasures from heaven and earth?"

Uncle Qin glared, took out a book from his arms, and threw it in front of Liu Qi, "Look, you, Uncle Qin, got this swordsmanship book by chance many years ago. As long as you practice it completely, you will not only be able to practice it, but also become a powerful person." His swordsmanship can be transformed into something new."

"Get it many years ago? But it looks new. I can still smell the fragrance of ink." Liu Qi picked up the book curiously. There was no writing on the cover of the book. After flipping through it, "This swordsmanship... huh?"

Liu Qi didn't pay attention at first, but when he saw it, he couldn't help but get immersed in it.

He looked through it slowly.

At the age of only fourteen, his basic swordsmanship was rated as 'lower', and he also entered the first class. He was naturally very talented in swordsmanship, and he soon discovered the extraordinary nature of this swordsmanship.

"This swordsmanship." After a long time, Liu Qi looked up at the shop owner, feeling that the usually talkative 'Uncle Qin' was as mysterious as him.

"How is it? Aren't you awesome?" Uncle Qin raised his eyebrows, "You, Uncle Qin, and I were all skilled in swordsmanship and were invincible in the world. How can our swordsmanship be bad? Okay, okay, this is what I have I accidentally saved a man from Jianghu years ago, and he gave me this swordsmanship secret book written by him. As an old man, I took it but found it useless, so I gave it to you."

"Uncle Qin, you may not understand, but this is indeed a very powerful swordsmanship." Liu Qi handed the swordsmanship book back, "I can't have it."

"I'll give it to you. I, Old Qin, will never take back what I gave you." Uncle Qin waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't look moved. Your uncle Qin is in the Dongxiang Mansion. I'm all alone, so just come and chat with me when you have nothing to do."

Liu Qi suddenly felt sour in his heart.

This Uncle Qin is all gray-haired, but he is all alone, which is really pitiful.

"Uncle Qin, I will stay with you for a while." Liu Qilian said.

"Well." Uncle Qin was lying on the bamboo chair, shaking the cattail leaf fan leisurely, thinking in his heart, "Martial arts in the three realms have indeed become more and more prosperous, and now the first martial arts golden immortal has been born."
