Jiao Dragon City, a mortal dojo.
Lu Qingshan looked at the dojo master who reeked of alcohol and shook his head at Hidden Sword beside him.
"It's not like that." Seeing Lu Qingshan shake his head, Hidden Sword was a little dejected. He said listlessly, "It's not like we can search them one by one. It's been half a day and we've only investigated five people. How long will it take?"
"You're right. We have to find a way to improve our efficiency." Lu Qingshan agreed. After thinking for a while, he suddenly had an idea. He patted the Spirit Beast Pouch and summoned the Western Rat King.
Before the Western Rat King could figure out the specific situation, Lu Qingshan threw the jade scroll to it. The Western Rat King hurriedly hugged the jade scroll that was about the size of its body. With a confused look, it asked, "What is this for?"
"Choose a name from it." Lu Qingshan said expressionlessly.
"Huh?" The Western Rat King and Hidden Sword were both confused.
"This kind of thing depends on luck. It might be effective if it does it." Lu Qingshan muttered, "It has always been very lucky."
"Lucky?" Hidden Sword stared at Lu Qingshan with its big eyes.
"… It means where the destiny lies." Lu Qingshan thought for a while and gave an explanation that matched the world's background.
"That's nice to hear. I, the rat, am indeed where the destiny lies." Hearing Lu Qingshan's evaluation, the Western Rat King immediately narrowed its eyes and proudly picked a name from the jade scroll. "Then it's him."
"Xue Zhuyong …" Hidden Sword murmured, "This is a carpenter who has been running a wood carving shop in a remote corner in the west of the city for more than 30 years. He's an old carpenter."
"Let's go and take a look." Lu Qingshan's tone was calm and unhurried.
.....
"It's almost noon, and the shop isn't open yet?" The Western Rat King looked at the tightly shut door of the carving shop and complained, "This shopkeeper is even lazier than me."
"Lu Qingshan …" Hidden Sword did not respond to the Western Rat King's words.
"Hmm?"
"You seem to be right. The Western Rat King might really be … the Mandate of Heaven." Hidden Sword swallowed his saliva and said in surprise, "Didn't I tell you that I have a strong sense for swords?"
"What do you mean?" Lu Qingshan understood the hidden sword's meaning.
Hidden Sword nodded and pointed at the closed door of the carving shop. "I can sense it. The three-foot-long blade is in the shop."
After going through so many twists and turns, he finally saw the light of hope. Even Lu Qingshan couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart at this moment.
However, even though the three-foot-long blade was right in front of him, Lu Qingshan was not in a hurry. Instead, he looked around and walked into the tailor shop next to the carving shop with Hidden Sword.
"Young master, are you looking for a tailor or something?" The tailor shop owner saw that there was a customer in the shop and greeted him politely.
Lu Qingshan waved his hand and asked with a smile, "Owner, I would like to ask, what's the situation with the carving shop next door? Why hasn't the shop opened yet? "
The owner nodded and explained, "You mean Shopkeeper Xue's carving shop, right?
Shopkeeper Xue is addicted to alcohol. I think he drank too much last night and hasn't woken up yet. "
"I see," Lu Qingshan thought for a moment and asked, "Has Shopkeeper Xue always been like this?"
The tailor shop owner shook his head and sighed, "It wasn't like this before. In the early years, when I was still young, Shopkeeper Xue also liked to drink, but it wasn't to the extent that it is now."
Hmm … It should be after Shopkeeper Xue's wife died of illness that Shopkeeper Xue became more and more obsessed with drinking.
Alas, life has to go on. Drowning his sorrows in alcohol every day isn't a solution. "
"When did Shopkeeper Xue's wife die of illness? Does Shopkeeper Xue still remember?" Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed as he asked again.
"Around the time I took over my family's tailor shop." The tailor shop owner thought for a moment and answered casually, "It should be around seventeen or eighteen years ago."
After receiving the tailor shop owner's answer, Lu Qingshan felt relieved at first, but then a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
… Things seemed to be getting more complicated and confusing.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Xue." Lu Qingshan thanked the shopkeeper and turned to Hidden Sword, "Then let's wait here for Shopkeeper Xue."
Hidden Sword naturally had no objections.
They waited until five o 'clock in the afternoon.
When it was close to the closing time of the other shops, the door of the woodcarving shop creaked open slowly.
"Oh, we have a big customer today?" Shopkeeper Xue still looked a little hungover and sleepy. He held a wine gourd in his hand and glanced at Lu Qingshan and Hidden Sword who had been waiting at the door for a long time. He took another sip of wine from the gourd.
"Shopkeeper Xue's business hours are really long." Lu Qingshan looked at the skinny middle-aged man in front of him. He chuckled and walked into the small wood carving shop with Hidden Sword.
Inside the wood carving shop, numerous lifelike and dense wooden carvings were placed on the wooden shelves. Most of these wooden carvings were ferocious and ferocious demon beasts that were lifelike and abnormally ferocious.
Lu Qingshan's eyes shone brightly as he looked at a wooden carving on the left shelf.
It was a wooden carving of a Jiao Dragon. Its appearance was exactly the same as the one in the center of Jiao Dragon City.
This Jiao Dragon was circling its body. Every scale on its body was clear and lifelike.
What shocked Lu Qingshan even more was that although it was just a wooden carving in front of him, he felt as if he saw a Jiao Dragon roaring in front of him. It was as if the wooden carving had come to life.
Turning something rotten into something magical!
In addition to these wooden carvings of beasts, there were also a few wooden carvings of people. Some were old men, some were young women, and some were middle-aged men. They all looked ordinary, just like ordinary passersby. There was nothing special about them. However, these wooden carvings of people were shrouded in a layer of vague and wonderful feeling.
Artistic conception!
Lu Qingshan was shocked. He finally realized why these wooden carvings were so "alive".
Because these wooden carvings were actually fused with artistic conception.
However, his current realm was not enough. He could only vaguely perceive the extraordinariness of the wooden carvings. However, he was unable to feel the spirit of the artistic conception.
Artistic conception was a transformation that would occur when one's skills and skills reached the peak. It could also be a kind of understanding of the Heavenly Dao. It was a supreme method that only high level cultivators could master.
The artistic conception of sword cultivators was sword intent.
Why was it so difficult to cultivate the secret art of Beheading Wind?
There was no other reason. The cultivation condition of Beheading Wind was to master a weak sword intent. However, artistic conception was the most difficult to comprehend.
The increase in combat power brought by artistic conception was extremely huge. Under the same cultivation level, those who comprehended artistic conception could crush ordinary cultivators.
Xue Zhuyong, or the Mo Clan Head, had his strength reached such a terrifying level?
The moment he discovered this, Lu Qingshan glanced at Xue Zhuyong, who did not emit any spiritual energy fluctuations. His heart suddenly rose a little in awe.
Like Lu Qingshan, Hidden Xiaojian was also observing the wooden carvings. However, she was not attracted by the wooden carvings at all. Instead, she merely glanced at the carvings as her gaze wandered around the store.
Suddenly, her gaze stopped. Then, her eyes became brighter and brighter. She excitedly tugged at Lu Qingshan's sleeve.
Lu Qingshan looked in the direction of Hidden Sword's gaze.
On the western wall of the wooden carving shop, there was a long sword that was completely black. Its luster was restrained and it looked extremely simple.
