I Am Loaded with Passive Skills - Chapter 2020

Chapter 1895: Bamboo Folding

Chapter 1895:
The difference of one word “折竹” makes a world of difference.

Sword Master understood the implication of the young man’s words.

He was silent for a long time, then slowly raised his hand and held a snowflake falling from the sky, his expression slightly gloomy.

The snowflakes melted in the palm of my hand, turning into tiny drops of water stains, which were soon evaporated by the cold wind.

“Snow is constantly changing as it forms and melts.”

The Sword Master then raised his head, expressionless, as if stating an eternal truth:

“My friend, people are like this too.”

“From the beginning of life to the end of reincarnation, life has never remained unchanged.”

Everyone stretched out their hands and held a snowflake.

His palms were cold, and the snowflakes lay quietly in his hands, not melting into water stains:
“But old man, the reason why snow is snow is that it has no intelligence. Whether it changes depends on the change of the ambient temperature, not on itself.”

“Humans are different. They have their own will. Even if the temperature changes suddenly, they can’t be evaporated into nothingness.”

“I can understand that the weak are powerless and cannot resist the environment, but even you, Sword Master, can’t do that?”

Sword Master was silent.

Jinren looked at him straight in the eyes: “I’m asking you, not Xuehua, old man.”

Wu Yu heard something.

It is clear that Shou Ye is asking “If you want to make progress, you must change”, and Jian Zu is answering “Have you ever changed?”, but everything is definitely not as simple as it sounds.

“Change, change, change…”

“Big change? Small change? What are they talking about?”

“Of course the Sword Ancestor has changed, but what else can he become? The Demon Ancestor? Haha, how funny!”

Don’t say that the Five Realms don’t understand.

Hua Changdeng, Gou Wu Yue and others didn’t quite understand.

Only the Eight Masters, who were reminded by Xu Xiaoshou, knew what this guy was asking.

Sword Master smiled and said, “As long as I want to make progress, I will naturally change.”

“Hmm?” Everyone nodded. “What happens next?”

The Sword Master gestured to the Sword Tower behind the Xuanmiao Gate, shook his head slightly, and said no more.

“No more?”

“No.”

“That’s it?”

“yes.”

Even this “yes” did not trigger the passive system’s lie detection function, and a message popped up, which made people despair.

The Sword Tower was completely controlled…

Even the remnant of Sword Ancestor was in the hands of Demon Ancestor, and could not make any waves, so he was in despair?
Everyone frowned, unwilling to accept this.

He released the warmth, and the snowflakes in his palms melted rapidly, and after turning into water, they were also evaporated:

“But even when the snow melts into water and the water evaporates into gas, it does not completely disappear.”

“When the temperature difference changes again, it will condense into fog, rain, and snow and fall down.”

“Even Xue is stubborn, and the ancient sword cultivators are proud and unyielding. What’s more, you are the ancestor of the sword, but you say that you are willing to stop here?”

Who is willing to do this…

The Sword Master looked at this young man with a brilliant and outstanding talent, and his eyes became more and more sad.

He is no longer Himself.

This era is no longer His era.

With relief, regret, and helplessness, Sword Ancestor smiled with relief:
“The country is constantly changing.”

“Young man, my time has passed. You have to walk your own path.”

I am getting old!

Everyone really wants to slap this self-depraved old man in the face to wake him up.

On second thought, maybe the old man was not willing to accept it, but had to accept it – he had tried everything he could, but the end result was still a failure?

Even so, everyone was still feeling depressed.

He turned around, swung his sleeves in anger, and faced the Five Realms, shouting:
“A tiny floating duckweed swallows the ocean and shares its contents in your belly.”

“The weeds are silent, laughing at the pillars of heaven being broken by the autumn wind.”

The five regions were surprised.

These two sentences are full of rage and are what Shou Ye possesses, but they don’t seem like something Shou Ye would say.

Can ivory come out of a dog’s mouth?

Sword Master felt disappointed upon hearing this.

Of course He heard the sarcasm.

These two sentences were written by Him before He ascended to heaven, when He was planting Polygonatum and Sisal in the East Mountain and recording His life’s achievements.

This is also the sentence in the “Introduction to the Sword Classic” of later generations.

He left some influence in it. Those who are not sword practitioners with extraordinary talent will be confused when looking at it, and will not recognize it when listening to it. This is the case throughout the whole article.

Xu Xiaoshou…

This young man really remembered everything after listening to it once…

He is incredibly talented.

His temper is even worse than when I was young.

It was not enough to curse him with his back turned, he turned around and pointed at his nose and ridiculed him in person:

“Even mosquito larvae have no vessels, yet they still eat the food of nature.”

“Three incense offerings, dare to make the ancestors bleed.”

After a pause, everyone looked at the Sword Master in front of them, shook their heads in disappointment and murmured:

“Old man, it’s really hard to connect your present with what you wrote in the past. They are like two completely different people.”

The Sword Master remained calm and silent. He was not proud of his past achievements, nor was he ashamed by insults and ridicule. He was not happy with things, nor was he sad with himself.

He was simply doing the “right” thing at the moment.

On the Lingyu Mountain, Gu Qing looked up into the sky, at Xu Xiaoshou and Jian Zu, one young and one old, one proud and one discouraged, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Once upon a time, he read the “Sword Classic”. The introduction was full of vigor and vitality, and the main text was profound and meaningful. He read it carefully and learned new things from it, and he couldn’t put it down.

The Sword Master he imagined should be the legendary Eighth Sword Immortal in his youth.

Whenever there is injustice, draw your sword and kill them all.

Now that Sword Ancestor had really brought out the famous sword Twenty-One, the result was quite different from what was expected.

Even if Xu Xiaoshou had not stepped forward, ninety-nine percent of the people in the Five Realms would still be deceived by him.

Gu Qingyi understood the general situation and roughly heard what Xu Xiaoshou was hinting at.

He only felt lost and disappointed.

The source of his motivation to pursue the Dao, now seeing it, was not as good as Xu Xiaoshou – what was the difference between this and the sky falling?
“Snow…”

Gu Qing spread out the snow in his palm.

The snow melted, and the god or Buddha in his mind seemed to have disappeared as well.

The top of Dongshan Mountain.

Wen Ting was dressed in white, blending into the white snow in the mountains.

When the Sword Ancestor descended upon the Five Realms, he had also paid his respects. Now, looking at the Lingyu Mountain in the Central Realm from afar, he also had a sad and disappointed look on his face.

“Snow……”

Snow in the palm of your hand.

He had to keep his palms cold and refused to let the snow melt, but he knew he could not hold the snow.

The snow is like quicksand, eventually drifting away.

He spread out his hands, his palms were covered with white snow, the same color as the top of East Mountain.

On the side is sisal.

Behind me is a Polygonatum odoratum forest.

Dongshan Sisal, one of the ancestral trees, represents the glorious achievements of the Sword Ancestor in the past and is an unstoppable sword unsheathed.

The green and white of the jade bamboo forest represents the integrity and pride of the ancient sword cultivators. They are unafraid of the cold and grow upwards, having already taken root halfway up the mountain, wanting to compete with the white snow on the top of the mountain for brilliance.

“Pah!”

Today, Wen Ting stood here, with constant irritation in his ears.

Jianma cried softly, feeling sad because of the change in Sword Ancestor. It was not like Qingju, who cried without tears and without sound.

The noisy thing came from the Polygonatum odoratum forest that had remained unchanged for millions of years. At this moment, the sound of firecrackers kept coming from behind, and everything was ruined.

“Broken bamboo…”

Wen Ting sneered, sighed and shook his head.

As soon as he raised his hand, the white snow in his palm was blown away by the wind.

He did not let the snow melt like Jian Zu and Xu Xiaoshou did. He let the snow return to snow. When he looked up again…

Snow flying all over the sky blends into one.

It’s like willow catkins, fluttering in the air.

“Hearing the breaking of bamboos, I know the snow is heavy…”

Wen Ting is not Gu Qingyi.

Having already stood at the top of Dongshan Mountain, he saw more and more clearly, and knew how difficult the situation was. His disappointment and melancholy were only temporary.

When he left in a huff, the gaze of this least famous of the Seven Sword Immortals had changed from icy to extremely blazing, his steps were as firm as iron, and his momentum was rising with each step.

“When a whale dies, all things come to life!”

…

“Sword Ancestor.”

Ba Zun’an spoke for the third time.

Every time Xu Xiaoshou made a joke, he almost always answered what he wanted to ask, either directly or indirectly.

He no longer needs to think about the overall situation.

Just like how he used Xu Xiaoshou to disrupt the situation in Dongtianwang City back then, now the Eight Lords only have one thing left to do.

Not a shit stirrer.

Instead, he took his own steps, slowly and steadily pushing the situation in the desired direction.

“What is behind the mysterious door?”

The people from the Five Realms could not remember the Introduction to the Sword Scripture, but the other party, who had only eight masters, knew the three questions and knew them all.

Sword Ancestor answered the first two questions.

This last one has little to do with the low-level ancient sword cultivators in the Five Realms, but it is the dream of every one who aspires to reach the highest level.

The Sword Master turned around and looked at the Eight Lords.

Different from the brat who was good at making indirect accusations, this guy was also full of ambition and ambition with both his talent and wisdom.

He failed.

He has reincarnated.

Leaves fall back to their roots, new green sprouts appear again, this is the inheritance.

This is the source of Sword Master’s calmness. He sees the shadow of his past self in every person who dares to question or inquire in front of him.

The way of the sword has never been cut off.

The character of a swordsman may have been broken, but it has never been broken.

“I have tried to seek the highest path and the best sword, so the black mist has covered my eyes and my heart has been filled with dust…”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Five Regions heard something subtle.

It seemed as if the little bit of “humanity” that Flower Sword Saint had brought to Sword Ancestor when he entered the scene just now had completely disappeared as he had been away for a long time.

Sword Ancestor, returned to his original form of “Sword Ancestor”.

What was restored was the moment when He just stepped out of the Xuanmiao Gate.

This was also the reason why the Lord stopped the Flower Sword Saint from performing the kneeling ceremony, and why he questioned him aggressively again and again afterwards.

“The Sword Ancestor has changed. He is no longer the Sword Ancestor.”

All the cultivators from the Five Realms got this answer from the questioning by my master just now. The only thing they didn’t know was what the Sword Ancestor had become.

Of course, he is not a good person!

The Sword Master raised two fingers, and the sword tower in the mysterious gate behind him became more solid, emitting a deadly attraction.

The strong aura of swordsmanship permeated the air. The ancient sword practitioners looked at it crazily and flocked to it, wishing they could rush in immediately.

“Greed blinds the self.”

“So I forged twelve swords, stripped off the black mist, cleared away the dust, and bound them in the sword tower.”

At this point, Sword Ancestor paused, then changed the subject and faced the third question from the Eight Venerables:
“In addition to the Twelve Swords in the Sword Tower, this Ancestor has profound thoughts and far-reaching thoughts, leaving behind the scenery in front of and behind the gate in one picture…”

The Ten Swords Guarding the Tower!
At the foot of Lingyu Mountain, Liu Fuyu’s mind moved.

She was a resident of the Sword Tower, and she often admired the painting hanging on the wall at the bottom of the tower, but she never got anything from it.

The painting shows night. There is a building with a moon on the top of the building and a shadow of a person. It is the shadow of the Sword God standing alone in the building.

This painting was circulated in the Five Regions for unknown reasons a long time ago. It is said that it was created by a sword guardian of a certain generation in the Sword Tower who got drunk…

Anyway, no one knows whether the process is true or not, but the result is that the ancient sword art of the Five Realms was restarted and passed down from generation to generation. It gave rise to You Tu, and the sword art has been blazing ever since then.

Sword God Gu Louying is not his real name. This honorific title comes from the “Ten Swords Guarding the Tower” painting.

“The Twelve Swords are on the top of the building, and the Moon Viewing Map is at the bottom. The weapon is in your hands, and the Tao is under your feet. If you are in the building, you can obtain the inheritance.”

Above the sea of swords, Sword Ancestor has not stopped yet.

He said this with a smile, turning sideways and pointing to the mystery behind the door.

Not only was he targeting the Eight Zun An, he was also referring to Hua Changdeng, Gou Wu Yue, and Jin Ren:
“If you want to see the scenery behind the Mysterious Gate, enter the Sword Tower and you will see it all.”

Coming again?

Everyone who looks at Sword Ancestor now is simply looking at the lackeys of Demon Ancestor – there is nothing worse than being an accomplice to a tiger.

“Ba Zun’an, you know what I want to say.” He immediately transmitted the message.

But the Eight Lords were looking at the sword tower behind the mysterious door with shining eyes, as if they were attracted by it.

Guidance?

No, not to the extent that…

This guy is not weak.

If he cannot resist the guidance of the Ancestral God, he will not even be able to lead the team of Holy Slaves.

That is to say, he was not forced to fall in love, but he had a high opinion of himself and thought he could transcend it?

Do you think you are a god?
“Eight Lords, you cannot enter!” Everyone said firmly.

Ba Zun’an finally turned his head, but did not agree with Xu Xiaoshou’s words immediately.

Just smiled and didn’t answer.

What is this guy thinking…

Perception swept away the long lamp and the moon without moon.

But even after he had pointed out to everyone that something was wrong with Sword Ancestor, these people still dared to make moves.

Knowing there is a tiger in the mountain, you still go there?
You are crazy, right?
“I won’t go.”

Everyone was the first to express their views.

Originally, he just came here to show off a little.

The task assigned to me by this deity is only to give out the Yanmang and assist the Eight Zun An.

Afterwards, you should show weakness to the enemy, hide yourself, let the Sword Master appear again, take the opportunity to make trouble, and give instructions in a roundabout way, and by the way, disintegrate the alliance of the three ancestors outside the country, and do other things that will weaken the enemy and benefit the self. Do as much as you can, and don’t force it.

A thousand-mile long dike can be destroyed by a single ant hole.

You have to pry the corner open slowly, don’t be impatient.

Although this body is weak, death is not a pity and it is a worthy death.

If you give it away for nothing, you might get controlled, so no one dares to be so wasteful.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately chose to hide while Hua Changdeng was attracted by the picture of the sword tower.

But he did not disappear and leave, he just retreated from the sky, indicating that he was away from all subsequent developments and came to Mr. Mito’s side.

The old man has a big hole in his chest and is in critical condition. He is waiting for rescue. It has been delayed for so long that it is a bit too much.

“Eight Lords…”

The only thing I was worried about was Ba Zun’an’s slightly impulsive thoughts.

But Ba Zun’an is not a dead chess piece. He has his own understanding. He has a wife and a daughter behind him, so he should know that he can’t give it away for free.

Then don’t think about it, let this troublemaker stir up trouble on his own. I will take responsibility for everything after that, it has nothing to do with me.

Hua Changdeng watched Xu Xiaoshou leave without mocking him.

This junior is already talented enough, and no senior has the right to ridicule him.

Even if he chose to retreat at this step, given his personality, he might not really retreat, and there might be other interpretations.

Sword Master also looked at the young man falling down the mountain, nodded to show his understanding, and then looked at the other three people:
“To retreat bravely while the tide is rising is not a sign of cowardice, but a move to protect oneself.”

“All three of you have made great achievements in your own fields. After all, we can only polish the jade from other mountains. Which of you are retreating or advancing?”

Damn!
No one expected that when Sword Ancestor got ruthless, he would even curse himself.

Who did you learn this from? You clearly look very well-mannered.

Hua Changdeng and Ba Zun’an looked at each other and got the answer from each other’s eyes.

The two of them looked at Gou Wu Yue again.

The one-armed Gou Wu Yue has been standing on Lingyu Mountain, silent.

Even though Sword Master looked over here several times, no one actually knew who he was looking at – after all, most people couldn’t even see Sword Master’s appearance and figure clearly.

It was not until Hua Ba’s gaze settled that everyone suddenly realized that the third person had been the Moonless Sword Immortal all along?
Public opinion was aroused:
“Although, the Moonless Sword Immortal is also one of the Seven Sword Immortals.”

“But compared to Hua Changdeng and Ba Zun’an, Gou Wuyue has not made much achievements. What virtue and ability does he have?”

“Do you remember that before this, Sword Immortal Wu Yue also refused the extradition of Dao Yun Xia Guang from Xuan Miao Sect!”

“So what? We are talking about Hua Changdeng, the only master of Fengdu in terms of attainment in ancient swordsmanship. The eight masters are all proficient in swordsmanship and have mastered the mysteries of various ways. Gou Wu Yue… is just Gou Wu Yue. What does he have?”

“Who allowed you to scold our baby Wu Yue? If you don’t make a sound, it will be a big deal! Do you understand? Do you understand? I will beat you to death!”

“…”

The focus of everyone’s attention.

Gou Wu Yue put one arm behind his waist, one sleeve fluttering in the wind. He only hesitated for a moment, then raised his chin slightly and said lightly:

“We ancient sword cultivators are unstoppable.”
