An elder understood and said this.
"That's right." Taoist Four Seasons nodded, and then continued, "And I already know who it is."
Taoist Siji said with a serious look.
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room exclaimed in surprise.
"who is it?"
"In the past, Jin State did send many talented people to search for outstanding talents in Jin State and recruit them to the academy, hoping to enter the Ten Kingdoms Academy. However, these talented people are arrogant by nature and good at disguise."
"Sometimes they go to a certain place and even hide their identities for decades. They don't care about fame or wealth, and they work wholeheartedly for the State of Jin. Master, how do you find out who is monitoring them?"
The elders were completely shocked.
Looking at the Ten Kingdoms, although Jin was not very strong, it was still a country.
In the world of cultivating immortals, the relationship between sects and the imperial court is extremely delicate. The imperial court allows the establishment of sects, and the major sects also accept the incorporation. As long as it does not involve the core, the two will cooperate with each other to protect the human world.
However, the status of the imperial court is slightly higher than that of the immortal sect. It's not that the sect is not good, but the two are completely different. Unless it is the kind of immortal sect that transcends the upper class, otherwise, no matter how many people a sect has, it will not exceed 100,000, while an imperial court is more than just 100,000.
Of course, it mainly depends on what sect the court is facing.
If it were the number one immortal sect in Jin State, the Jin State court would naturally show some respect to it. However, as the number one sect in Qingzhou, it has a certain weight but is not enough to surpass the court.
In the eyes of the Four Thunder Sword Sect, the Jin Dynasty court is a colossal existence, and it is difficult for the Four Thunder Sword Sect to know anything that such an existence does. However, what was unexpected was that Taoist Four Seasons actually discovered the existence of the "supervisory" person.
How could this not excite the elders?
You know, if you know it in advance, it doesn't mean you have to bribe the other party. Even if you don't provoke the other party, it would be good. If you can win the favor of this adult, it will be a hundred benefits for the Four Thunder Sword Sect.
After all, these supervisors are all top-notch experts, not just good-for-nothings.
The elders were shocked.
Taoist Siji did not say anything, but just stretched out his hand.
In an instant, a scroll appeared in his hands.
Then, the scroll unfolded, and a view of the mountain sunset came into view.
The painting scene is very beautiful. Everyone present is an elder, and each of them has lived for hundreds of years. In addition to practicing on weekdays, they also spend more time looking for fun.
He was not proficient in everything, but at least he had some literary knowledge, so he could naturally tell at a glance that the painting was extremely beautiful.
"The painting is superb, and can even be called a national masterpiece. The sunset glow and the falling peaks are lifelike, especially the people in the painting. They have the ethereal, indifferent and beautiful feeling of a sword cultivator. It's a great painting, a great painting."
"No, no, no, it's not just a good painting. Look at the person in the painting. He looks like a sword fairy. He doesn't have any sharpness at all. But to me, he feels sharp. There is a sword meaning in it."
"Hiss, originally I just thought this painting was pretty good, but after hearing what you said, it seems to be true."
"The more you look at this painting, the more frightening it becomes. The person in the painting doesn't have a full face, but only a partial profile, yet it shows the swordsman's posture to the fullest."
"Master, what does this mean?"
"What does this painting represent? Could it be?"
The elders were all full of curiosity.
Some elders seemed to have guessed something.
"Yes, the man in this scroll is the swordsman sent by the King of Jin."
Taoist Siji said with a serious look.
As soon as these words were spoken, there were loud shouts of shock.
"Really?"
"Master, what is your basis?"
"Yes, this person does look like an expert, but he is so young, doesn't it seem a little unlikely?"
"Yes, Master, did you misunderstand?"
Everyone spoke up, feeling that it was a bit unrealistic.
However, Taoist Siji shook his head and looked at the elders with disappointment.
"Superficial, superficial, you are so superficial."
Taoist Si Ji felt somewhat helpless, with disappointment in his eyes.
The elders were a little confused, but they didn't dare to say anything. After all, Taoist Siji had a very high status in their hearts. Plus, this scroll was indeed different, so they were very curious.
"Do you know who painted this picture?"
Taoist Four Seasons asked.
"Mr. Qinglian, I have heard of this person a little bit. He is a famous talent in Jin State. It is said that the king of Jin State particularly likes his works. However, he has disappeared in recent times."
An elder who knew a thing or two explained the origins of the painter.
"Yes." Taoist Si Ji nodded, then said seriously.
"The person who painted this is Qinglian Jushi. Although I have never met this person, he is very talented. Not only does the King of Jin like his poems, but it is said that some of the powerful people in Jin also particularly admire his articles."
"And the Qinglian hermit completely disappeared half a year ago. Can you think of where he went?"
The Taoist priest of Four Seasons unravels the mystery.
"Could it be that he has joined a small sect to cultivate immortality?"
An elder spoke up and made a guess.
"Impossible. Master Qinglian is extremely famous. How could he possibly join a small sect? If he is willing to join my Four Thunder Sword Sect, I would rather go beyond my authority and accept him as my disciple."
"Yes, how could such a talented person be accepted into the sect?"
"Oh, I know, Master. Master Qinglian has been granted amnesty by the imperial court, right?"
Many people rejected the first elder's guess, while others believed that he was granted amnesty by the imperial court.
After hearing this, Taoist Siji nodded.
"That's right. Mr. Qinglian is very talented and is admired by the powerful people of Jin State. Naturally, he was summoned by the King of Jin State."
"In the State of Jin, there was a peerless swordsman who was once a genius at the Ten Kingdoms Academy. But for unknown reasons, he was eventually expelled from the Ten Kingdoms Academy and eventually came to the State of Jin, becoming the commander-in-chief of the Inspectorate."
"This man is extremely extraordinary and is highly valued by the monarch. After being summoned to the throne, Qinglian Jushi apparently met him once. Afterwards, Qinglian Jushi must have been amazed by his temperament, so he drew a picture for him."
"Of course, it is also possible that the King of Jin asked Qinglian to paint for him."
“And this powerful man didn’t like to show his face, but he couldn’t veto the monarch, so in the end he only drew a profile.”
Taoist Siji’s analysis is very logical.
But finally, a voice full of doubt sounded.
"Master, all of this is just your speculation. Is there any actual evidence?"
This is an elder. Although he also believes in Taoist Siji, he always feels that something is wrong.
However, Taoist Siji sneered and then slapped the scroll.
The next moment, a terrifying sword force appeared.
Chapter 33 I really hope to meet this kind of real kendo master one day [New book request everything]
The powerful sword energy permeated the entire hall.
However, this is not the Four Thunder Sword Force, but the sword force in the painting.
The appearance of this sword force gave everyone present an indescribable pressure.
The next moment, Taoist Siji withdrew his magic power, and the sword energy disappeared without a trace.
"Do you still think I guessed wrong?"
Taoist Four Seasons asked calmly.
It was so quiet in the hall that you could hear a pin drop.
No one dared to question Taoist Siji anymore.
"Mr. Qinglian's painting skills are truly extraordinary. He can even imprint the sword's power on the painting. I admire you so much."
"No, it's not that Master Qinglian's painting skills are powerful, but the person in the painting is powerful. If it weren't for his powerful sword power, how could Master Qinglian imprint the sword power in the painting?"
"Yes, the person in this painting is extremely terrifying. Just by standing there, he can exude a terrifying sword aura that makes people have to submit."
The elders were horrified. The sword force just now was not particularly terrifying, but they were shocked by the ability to imprint the sword force in the painting. This kind of ability was terrifying.
There are only two possibilities to create such ability.
The first is the painter's painting skills, which have reached the level of superb craftsmanship.
The second type is the person in the portrait, who can reveal his sword power only by concentrating supreme sword intent.
But if it is the first one, then Taoist Siji’s guess is wrong.
If it is the second one, then Taoist Siji’s guess is absolutely correct.
However, Taoist Siji shook his head again.
"You haven't discovered the key point yet."
There was no other expression in Taoist Si Ji's eyes except disappointment.
After hearing this, the elders were completely confused.
Any more details?
In an instant, dozens of elders stared at the scroll.
After half an incense stick of time, an elder finally understood.
"I see. I understand."
he exclaimed, in awe.
"What do you understand?"
"What do you unserstand?"
"Oh my god, Elder Wang, if you know something, just tell us now. Why are you keeping us in suspense?"
"What I hate most in my life is keeping people in suspense. Please tell me, I'm so anxious."
The elders were a little confused.
They really didn't know what details they had missed, and now that they heard that someone had understood, they were naturally very anxious.
"There is no spiritual energy in this scroll."
Elder Wang pointed at the scroll and said excitedly.
In an instant, the hall fell completely silent.
Taoist Siji then showed a look of relief, as someone finally discovered the details.
"No spiritual energy?"
"This! This! This!"
"I understand. I understand."
"The lack of spiritual energy in the painting means that the painter was not a cultivator, or he did not use spiritual energy to imprint the sword energy in the painting. In other words, the painting can show a powerful sword energy, which has nothing to do with Master Qinglian. It's just that the person in the painting is too strong."
"I see, I see. No wonder the Sect Leader is so sure that the man in the painting is the Chief of the Inspectors. So that's how it is."
At this moment, everyone suddenly understood.
Since there is no spiritual energy in the scroll, it can be concluded that the sword force is not imprinted by magic power, but the powerful sword force emanating from the person in the painting is what is imprinted.
This means that the person in the painting is an unparalleled swordsman.
After thinking about what Taoist Siji said, everyone completely believed it at this moment.
"The master is very observant."
"As expected of the Sect Leader, you can tell so much information from just a few details."
"The Sect Master is truly a god."
Everyone was flattering him but also praising him sincerely.
