Cheng Jiaxuan only managed to grab a corner of his white robe and quickly brushed it through his fingers like a gust of wind. Just now, he had blocked in front of her and killed the bald disciple with one palm. She did not see this with her own eyes. At this moment, she almost doubted that this was a dream and was very disappointed.
Yuan Yi arrived at the center of the battle circle in a few leaps. Both of his palms pushed back the two masters at the same time and then shouted: "Everyone stop!" His tone was not very strict, but there was an innate dignity in it that made the people who heard it lose their courage and involuntarily do as he said.
When Lu Qian saw this sudden turn of events, he realized that the situation was no longer as firmly under his control as before. Fearing that he would spoil his grand plan, he maintained a smile on his face as he strolled into the battle and walked to the innermost circle without a change in expression.
A disciple in the crowd shouted: "Where did this kid come from? You dare to meddle in our business? Are you tired of living? "Yuan Yi said indifferently:" I'm not meddling in other people's business. I'm here to do what you've come to do. The surname of the Death Seeking Slash has not been decided yet. "
Another person sneered and said, "So you're also here to snatch the Life Demanding Strike. But this little brother of yours doesn't follow the rules. Just now we were fighting in the arena to determine the winner, but you suddenly came down and messed things up. We were all caught off guard by you. Even if our weapons were knocked out of our hands, we can't just casually say that you've won. Our brothers won't accept it either. Isn't that right, everyone?" When he asked this, everyone thought of the shame of losing their weapons and loudly agreed.
Yuan Yi coldly snorted: "You speak so confidently. What, is it glorious to lose your weapon? As a swordsman, your weapon is the foundation of your life. You must hold it tightly at all times. If you're caught off guard, you'll only end up dead. I did come for the Death Seeking Slash, but I don't need to use the word 'steal'. "
A disciple of the Snow Mountain Sect laughed and said: "You little kid, the Death Seeking Slash is an ancient treasure, who doesn't want it? If you want to steal it, then steal it. Why are you pretending to be serious? We at least dare to tell you our purpose in coming here. We're not like you, who is a thief in your heart but a saint in your mouth. You're really a pervert but still want to set up a monument. "
This was the reason why they had humiliated Lu Qian earlier. Now that they had finally met someone who shared the same sentiments, they were all exceptionally excited. They wanted to push all the blame for their earlier humiliation onto this unfamiliar young man. It was as if they had regained their dignity. Judging from his young age, he was probably just a fledgling youngster. Even if he had some skills, offending him wouldn't be too much of a threat.

. From beginning to end. Lu Qian crossed his arms and sneered; he did not say anything. If it was in the past, with his eloquence, he would be able to make people angry to death. But this time he felt somewhat abrupt. He thought Yuan Yi must be an extremely outstanding character. He had seen all kinds of strange people, naturally he knew the art of distinguishing people. Right now he had not distinguished friend from foe, so he should not act blindly without thinking and provoke him.
Cheng Jiaxuan wanted to laugh, but he was afraid to provoke her 'Yuan Yi Gege'. He clenched his right hand into a fist and pretended to be deep in thought, taking the opportunity to cover his mouth.
Yuan Yi did not get angry, his voice was as cold as usual. "We are all Jianghu people," he said, "Our mouths must be virtuous, don't be too unpleasant to hear. I don't want to use the word 'rob', because you are not qualified for me to use the word. You are a group of short-sighted mobs who only know how to fight randomly. Even if there is a winner, he won't get the Death Seeking Chop. It is better to take advantage of this time to brainstorm and think about which path to take. That is the most important thing. "
Previously, everyone was thinking that as long as they won, they would be able to get the Death Seeking Chop without any obstruction. They had temporarily neglected the clues of which path to take. When they heard him point it out in time, they were a bit scared, but also felt lucky.
Lu Qian had been troubled by this problem for a long time, but he still could not solve it. Now that he was the first to point it out, he seized the opportunity and stepped forward. "Then I would like to ask Young Master, when the wooden piece said 'follow the heart', whose heart is it? Is it Prince Zhuang or Senior Mu Qingyan? If the direction of the beginning is wrong, the difference in the future will be more than ten thousand miles. "
Yuan Yi said, "What, in your eyes, there are only two people in the world? If you are limited by this at the beginning, how can you expand your thinking? " Previously, there were a few people who had privately thought about it. Ever since they heard Shen Shiyun announce the secret of the palace, their thoughts, without exception, revolved around Prince Zhuang and Senior Mu. Now that they heard his words, it was as if another bright path had appeared in front of them. They all praised, "Reasonable, reasonable, not bad." Li Yijie cupped his hands and said, "This one does not understand, please enlighten me."
Yuan Yi said, "That's why I said that you are all bound. The answer is actually very simple, it is the heart of the Death Seeking Chop! "
The crowd of heroes was hoping that he would say some wonderful words that would bring them back from the jaws of death. Who would have thought that he would say something so 'preposterous'? They began to practice martial arts together. The most important thing was to be able to control the weapons in their hands. Only when they could completely use the weapons for themselves could they win a hundred battles. Only a half-grown child would believe that a sword had its own heart. It seemed like this kid was still a child who had not grown up yet. What he said before was just a bluff. It was too bad that he had bet this treasure on him.
The most difficult thing for them to accept was that their well-thought-out wish had come to nothing. Soon they were angry. Immediately a disciple snorted coldly and said, "What a nice thing to say. How can you let the Death Seeking Chop choose itself? Whoever it wants to be its master, that person can have it? Don't joke around, the Death Seeking Chop is nothing but a dead object, how can it recognize a master? What kind of heart do you have? Really stupid! "
Yuan Yi coldly said, "That's right, the Death Seeking Chop is a dead object. If you fight to the death over this dead object, won't that be even more stupid? " Although Lu Qian was still half-believing and half-doubting, his mind was more flexible than the others. He probed, "Then tell me, how can we follow the Death Seeking Chop's heart and make it obediently recognize a master?"
Yuan Yi said, "What's the big deal about the Death Seeking Chop's heart? Who said we have to follow its instructions? Since it came to this world as a saber, even if it has godly power, it still has to be controlled by people. This is a matter of course. Who cares if it recognizes or not, it still has to serve its master! What we should do is to forcefully seize the treasured saber. A group of living people actually being manipulated by a dead object, that's stupidity on top of stupidity. There's no cure for it. "
Lu Qian coldly snorted and said, "Young Master's tone is really big, but I don't know what basis you have to say these words? Fine, I'll take it that you have a point. Why don't you explain to everyone what these scribbles on the wall mean? "
Yuan Yi indifferently said, "No problem." With his hands behind his back, he walked in front of the wall. Everyone's gaze followed him.
Only now did Li Yijie officially see the arrangement of the long swords. If they were to be counted in columns, there were a total of twelve columns. Each column was self-contained and slightly spaced apart from the side, allowing the spectator to clearly distinguish them. These twelve columns were divided into three groups, with each group having four columns. The distance between the groups was further than the distance between the two columns. The insertion and placement of the long swords were disorderly and disorderly. It looked like a beginner archer shooting randomly without any order. Inserting a sword to the east and inserting a sword to the west, it really did have a hint of scribbles. For a moment, everyone didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Lu Qian's analogy.
Looking up, the wide square hole was also extremely strange. At first, the surging pink and purple ripples looked like a flowing stream, but after staring at it for a long time, it was as if one's gaze was glued to it and could no longer be turned away. At the same time, his soul left his body and flew toward the hole.
Just as he was about to enter the hole, he suddenly felt a heat in his dantian. A burst of internal energy rose up and caught his soul just in time. Li Yijie's whole body shook and he regained consciousness. He had to thank his internal injury for acting up at the right time. Shaking his head, he also cast his gaze toward Yuan Yi's side. He didn't dare to look at the hole again.
Yuan Yi stood on the first row on the right-hand side and said, "Let's start from here. Gentlemen, look at this diagram. The left and right are very distinct, the long swords are clustered closely together, there is also a certain slope. It seems to be from the top to the level. This diagram looks like a mountain peak. There is a rope between the two mountains. Between the dangerous cliffs, only this rope can be used to pass through. Is it prominent enough? Therefore, it can be said that the most important part of this diagram is the 'rope' character. "
Without waiting for anybody to speak, as if minding his own business, he walked toward the second row and said, "This diagram is still the same high mountain and dangerous cliff. A group of officers and soldiers is walking on the bridge. But halfway through the small bridge, there is a gap. Below it is the Gate of Hell, waiting for them to knock on it with their own hands. Pieced together, it is the 'life' character. Looking at the next diagram, the front is densely piled up like a big mountain, the pressure is very obvious. But there is also a zigzag gap between the two. It is not difficult to guess, it is derived from the saying 'when the cart reaches the mountain, there must be a way'. At the bottom of the single-plank bridge, there is a thin line connected to a weighing weight. It must be weighed to a certain weight before it can be passed. Take one character from each of the two, the left cart, the right weight. Pieced together, it is the 'chop' character. In the next diagram, just by looking at it, the road gradually widens to both sides. The scenery ahead is very good, it gives people the urge to take a step forward. Leaving the old place, it is the 'exit' character. "
Everybody listened to his clear and logical explanation, it seemed to make a lot of sense. Although they did not understand it completely, they did not want to fall behind. They all nodded their heads, their mouths mumbling 'en, en, ah' in agreement. In this matter, they did not dare to be too gullible. While nodding their heads, they were trying to figure out his analysis, looking carefully at the diagram, trying to find if there was anything that did not make sense.
Lu Qian had a bellyful of indignation. In the past, in this kind of situation, he was always in the limelight. Everybody had to listen to him speak frankly and with assurance, sighing endlessly. Although he could not think of an answer for the time being, he was convinced that in the end, he would be the one to solve the riddle. But a strange young man who appeared out of nowhere beat him to it. How could he accept it?
Amidst the sound of agreement, he insisted on singing a different tune. With a cold laugh he said, "What you said is pretty good. But I am afraid you were hiding in the dark before, thinking for a long time before coming to a conclusion. Then you came out to show off. What's the big deal?"
