Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1338 Exception
  This dress was made by no one else. Apart from some trivial patterns, it has no characteristics of Shushan.

Why would a little girl dress like this? Could it be that this dress is made entirely of silk unique to Shu and can be regarded as a garment unique to Shu?
  "So...don't you say something? Why are you following me?" Seeing Shi Lan's silence, Gu Xun took the initiative to ask her.

"Last night...you saved me and Tianming and the others?" Shi Lan hesitated and said something with a complicated expression.

After encountering great changes, her emotions are rarely exposed. Even if they are exposed, they are usually very simple and clear, so that no one can understand her thoughts.

However, when facing Gu Xun, she always behaves tangled and complicated.

It’s not the girl’s fault, it’s mainly because Gu Xun himself was not doing things right, which naturally caused others to be wrong too.

Gu Xun naturally denied Shi Lan's remarks - it was absolutely impossible for him to admit that he had killed Wei Zhuang's carefully selected tool man.

"No, no, no, this has nothing to do with me. He died in your hands, and those two children also provided some help. You guys worked together to save yourself, and it has nothing to do with me."

"At best... I can only be considered a good Samaritan. I kindly returned an important item that someone accidentally didn't take with her."

"Why do you want to save us?" Shi Lan ignored Gu Xun's nonsense and continued to ask.

Gu Xun spread his hands, tilted his head and asked her with a smile, "Why don't you carry the Ice Soul Sword with you?"

"Uh..." Shi Lan was stunned by Gu Xunwen and replied subconsciously, "It's too heavy and inconvenient, and I'm not used to it either..."

Gu Xun didn't finish listening to the little girl's explanation. He turned around and walked deeper into the alley. He gestured to her to follow her.

Shi Lan thought for a moment and quickly followed.

Gu Xun caught a glimpse of the little girl following him, and then said with a smile, "You have just started to learn martial arts, and you are not yet able to lift a heavy weight with ease. The Ice Soul Sword weighing more than 40 kilograms is indeed a big burden."

"But..." his tone changed, Gu Xun warned seriously, "I still recommend that you carry the Ice Soul Sword with you at all times."

"There may be a lot of inconveniences, but these inconveniences will gradually be eliminated."

"On the contrary, you will also gain a lot of benefits in the process."

Shi Lan lowered her head and followed closely behind Gu Xun. When she heard what he said, she didn't raise her head to ask for any benefits. Seeing this, Gu Xun had no choice but to continue:

"Each of the Seven Swordsmanship has its own characteristics, and practicing it in certain specific environments will get twice the result with half the effort. Among them, the training needs of the Ice Soul Sword are best met - as long as you carry the Ice Soul Sword with you."

"You want me to become stronger as soon as possible?" Shi Lan spoke.

"Hmm..." Gu Xun pondered for a moment and affirmed this question, "I do subjectively hope that you can have a passable strength. After all, you are also one of the Seven Sword Masters. It is uncoordinated to lag behind the other sword masters too much. .”

"But I think you also need to become stronger yourself, right?"

"...This takes time, a lot of time." Shi Lan responded dully.

Gu Xun nodded, seemingly noncommittal, but what he said was not consistent with his actions:

"For others, even for the other Seven Swordsmen masters, this is a long process, ranging from ten or even decades to several years."

"However, for you and the Ice Soul Sword Master, it is an exception."

"Why?" Shi Lan, who listened carefully to Gu Xun's words, asked subconsciously. Gu Xun glanced sideways at the girl following him, smiled faintly, and then explained:
  "Because the Ice Soul Sword is very special, and you are very popular with it."

"There is a large amount of my ice soul cold energy stored in the ice soul sword. It looks no different from the true energy you have accumulated bit by bit by practicing the ice soul mystical art, but in reality it is completely different."

"Theoretically speaking, this part comes from the cold energy of my ice soul. It is difficult for you to even use it for your own purposes, even if you want to hook it."

"But as I said, you and the Ice Soul Sword are very compatible, so..."

"So I can use my own power to activate your ice soul in the sword to deal with my enemies...just like last night." Shi Lan took over the topic and spoke the second half.

Gu Xun opened his mouth, and finally nodded with a smile, "That's good, but not comprehensive."

"Taking my strength to use against the enemy is just a cunning and wasteful use, and you may not always be able to achieve the same results as last night."

"That unlucky guy was injured and had limited limbs, and you guys wore away his patience and lowered his guard. In addition, he had no resistance to the sound of Bingse, so he was unable to dodge that fatal sword in the end. "

"If you are facing top experts who are in normal condition, the three of you, uh..." Gu Xun paused mid-sentence, seemed to have thought of something, and changed his words, "Even if you have the external help from the Ice Soul Sword, it is impossible. Survive.”

"I understand, but at that time... I had no choice." Shi Lan's voice still seemed muffled, as if she had other things on her mind, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

Gu Xun didn't pay attention to her tone, and said to himself, "I'm just reminding you, as long as you know what's going on... Back to business, the ice soul and cold energy I left behind is actually to allow you to grow faster. stand up."

"With the help of the Ice Soul Sword, you can control the consumption of my Ice Soul's cold energy into your own hands, thereby quickly increasing your level of strength."

If what Gu Xun said at this time were heard by other people in the world, I don't know how much trouble it would cause.

Initiation and teaching of qigong have always been a hot topic in the world.

Becoming a hero is Tianming's dream, but it is also the dream of many people in the world.

However, most of the latter are not as honest as Tian Ming, and they are not very persistent in whether they are chivalrous or not. The point is that they are big...well, not, but strong.

In short, everyone wants to have superb martial arts.

However, this is easier said than done.

If you want to grow into a true master, you often need profound martial arts skills, excellent talents, reliable and helpful teachers... and so on.

But the reality is that at least 80% of Jianghu people have no hope of joining a reliable sect. They can only learn mediocre ordinary martial arts and struggle hard with their mediocre qualifications.

The intertwining of plump dreams and skinny reality will naturally lead them to have meaningless fantasies, and these fantasies are often inseparable from the practice of teaching.

They may not have the wonderful imagination of later generations of Internet writers, but it is still okay to simply imagine that they have received enlightenment from an expert and can directly reach the top level and be promoted to a top expert.

Transmitting qigong, a method that has various limitations in reality and has almost zero practical value, is an important part of the fantasy of the bottom of the world - of course, these dreamers also more or less understand the shortcomings of transmitting qigong , I just don’t want to think too much.

It’s not easy to have a place where people can let go of their dreams. Why bother clinging to reality in everything?
