Turning back the clock slightly, before Ying Xuan had even arrived at Daliang City, a conversation between a master and a disciple was taking place in a courtyard in a valley far away from the secular world.
An old man with white hair, white eyebrows, and a white beard stood tall and straight. He was wearing a dark blue Daoist robe with a large black word 'Ghost' on the back of the robe.
Behind the old man, there were two young men sitting cross-legged. The young man on the left was wearing white clothes and a blue cloak. His short hair was neatly combed behind his head.
The young man on the right was wearing a black and gold hooded hunting suit, but his hair was strangely white. However, it was not the white of old age, but a kind of youthful white. The two of them sat cross-legged and did not move, but there was sword intent in between them.
It could be seen that although the two young men were young, their swordsmanship had already reached an extremely high level.
The two of them stared at the old man's back without blinking, as if they were yearning for the word 'ghost' behind the old man's back, but also as if they were listening to the old man's teachings seriously.
"This time, the exam questions I'll be giving you will require you to make a trip to Daliang. This examination question involves our most important point.”
"The highest essence of my Phantom Valley's ultimate technique is only two words-Decide and Choose.”
Guigu 'zi was also known as the School of Political Conversers. It was the most special school among the Hundred Schools of Philosophy. It was said that there was only one person in each generation of the school, and that person was Guigu' zi.
In the later years of each generation, Guigu 'zi would take in two disciples and pass down the Hezong Dao and Lianheng Dao respectively, allowing the two disciples to compete to the death.
The disciples who survived in the end would be the true experts, the next Guigu 'zi of Guigu' zi.
Although there was only one person, every generation of Guigu 'zi would influence the world's general trend. With a raise of his hand, he would indirectly cause the rise and fall of a country. It was extremely terrifying.
It was even widely acknowledged by the people of the Warring States Period that Guigu 'zi's anger would make the vassals afraid, and peace would make the world rest.
The old man was Guigu 'zi, and the two young men were his disciples.
Hearing Guigu 'zi's narration, the eyes of the black-clothed young man flickered. He had his own opinion on Jue and Ze."Interesting. He would first determine the value of the item before making his choice.”
The white-robed young man beside him disagreed.""I think we should make a choice first before making a decision. There were so many things in the world, and it was impossible to do everything based on value alone.”
Guigu 'zi didn't turn around to look at his two disciples, but pointed out their differences,""Choosing first and then choosing is for profit, choosing first and then choosing is for righteousness.”
"Of course, this is just a common saying. In this vast and prosperous secular world, there are too many things that have their own complexity. It is not something that can be determined purely by right and wrong, good and evil.”
" Therefore, in this complicated world, how to make a decision, and what is the priority between benefits and righteousness? This is exactly the question I'm going to give you this time.”
"I need you to go there personally. "However, this time, it can be considered that you've officially left the mountain. You can't tarnish the reputation of my Phantom Valley.”
"Besides, the wooden swords that you usually use during training are not suitable for you now. Perhaps in the future, you will touch this realm, but not now.”
"That's why I have two good swords in my collection. I'll give them to you.”
After Guigu 'zi finished speaking, he left the courtyard. It seemed that he didn't care about the introduction or the distribution of the two swords. He simply left them to the two disciples to choose.
After he left, he revealed two swords of completely different styles on the table.
One of the swords was extremely demonic. At first glance, it looked like it wanted to devour human blood. One side was a sharp blade, and the other side was actually like the sharp teeth of a shark. There were seventeen small sharp blades protruding from it.
The other sword was calm and peaceful, with ripples on the surface of the water. It seemed to be made of exquisite materials, but it seemed to be slightly suppressed by the evil sword beside it, as if it could not match the bloodthirsty might of the evil sword.
The two swords were placed side by side, and the aura of the neutral and peaceful sword was already weaker.
The two young men did not hesitate and went forward to check.
The young man in white was very familiar with the world's famous swords and pointed out their origins."It's actually Shark Tooth? It came from the famous swordsmithing family, the Xu family. Because of its unique shark-shaped structure, it was known as the nemesis of famous swords. It could break other swords.”
"If it's too ferocious, not only will it hurt people, but it'll also easily hurt itself.”
The black-robed youth's eyes lit up as if this Shark Tooth was made for him."Senior martial brother, no matter how ferocious a weapon is, it still depends on the person who uses it.”
"The axe is vicious, used by thugs to kill and plunder, and used by woodsmen to cut firewood.”
"We swordsmen are the ones who use the sword and control the sword, not the ones who are controlled by the sword. No matter how ferocious the sword is, it will never devour its master unless the swordsman is not worthy of holding the sword. This Shark Tooth is very suitable for me."
The white-robed young man had no objections. He was not used to using evil weapons like shark teeth.
The youth in black picked up the Shark Tooth and looked at it excitedly. He even nodded his head as if he approved of the new weapon."Senior martial brother, it seems that I'm slightly better now.”
The white-robed young man didn't mind. Of course, he understood what his junior brother was trying to say. Phantom Valley was a dominating force. Every generation had to fight to the death. Only the one who survived could become the new Phantom Valley.
This time, he had obtained a better weapon, so he was slightly better.
"Xiao Zhuang, what suits you is the best. A swordsman who isn't good at sword style is destined to not be able to display his full strength.”
After the two of them took their weapons, they finished speaking meaningfully. He left the Cloud-Dream Mountain's Guigu Sect and began to follow Guigu 'zi's test to the capital of Wei State, Daliang.
