Chapter 220 [Glimpse Sword: (???????)]
The temperature on Yunshan Mountain has cooled down a little.
The refreshing air of early autumn spreads to Ruyun Peak. Although Yunshan Mountain is not very hot, the autumn atmosphere gradually appears.
There are already red leaves on some mountain slopes. Although the shock of autumn has not yet spread all over the mountains and plains, the red leaves are still extremely eye-catching, reminding people of the arrival of autumn.
Xie Yuan felt pleasant in this early autumn atmosphere. Autumn is a quiet season, but it is not solemn, making people calm.
Very suitable for practice.
Xie Yuan spent a peaceful summer on the mountain. He originally wanted to escape the autumn and winter winds on Ruyun Peak and live in seclusion in the fairy mountain.
But Hongchen seemed unwilling to let him go.
This morning, enter the cloud peak.
Xie Yuan finished practicing sword practice with Coach Lu, and everyone was dispersing in twos and threes to discuss among themselves.
While he was thinking about the practice just now, he was packing his things and preparing to leave. He returned to his yard for the next step of practice when he faintly heard a few familiar names being discussed.
"Have you heard? The Little Qianlong Club in Jinling has kindly invited our sect this time!"
"I know, this matter has spread, and I heard that the candidates have been decided. "
"In previous years, we were asked symbolically whether we would participate or not. Just do it. It seems to be different this year..."
"Of course! In the sword debate last year, our sect master showed his power and completely convinced the other sects! Among the eight families, there are many heads who are no match for our sect master!”
"Senior Brother Qin, too, has suddenly reached the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, and many chiefs of major sects are ashamed of themselves. Now those warriors from the prosperous land in the southeast can finally look at us seriously!"
"Indeed. , but unknowingly, it has been a year..."
Xie Yuan nodded slightly after hearing this.
In that sword debate with the Hidden Sword Pavilion, it seemed that the Yunshan Sword Sect did not take advantage, and even lost more games at home.
But in the two most critical battles, Jian Zong's performance surprised many outsiders.
Li Xingtuo and Wei Dong were evenly matched, and Qin Zhenyang only lost half a move to He Jin. This result was unexpected. The outside world did not expect that the core strength of the Yunshan Sword Sect had reached a level worse than that of the Hidden Sword Pavilion. Similar level.
And when combined with the attitude of Hidden Sword Pavilion and the ranking given by Chunyu Pavilion, it is even more subtle. After careful consideration, outsiders have to take a closer look at the true strength of Yunshan Sword Sect.
So in the past year, the Yunshan Sword Sect has become famous. Although it was originally a large sect that dominated the western part of Dali, its reputation has grown in the past year, and it has gradually become the largest sect in the world.
A person’s name is like the shadow of a tree, and in martial arts practice, sometimes one has to compete for a name.
The Yunshan Sword Sect’s reputation has become famous, and its status has naturally increased. This year’s exchanges with the outside world can be seen in all aspects. Whether he is more respectful or cautious, it all shows the current status of Yunshan Sword Sect.
Even the top powerhouse in the Western Region, King Ming of the Great Vajra Temple, had to endure a lot when he met Li Xingtuo in the Western Desert. He did not gain any advantage in the dispute over the ruins. After the news came out, it became clear that Li Xingtuo and others were involved. The strength possessed by the leading sword sect.
So this year, the Yunshan Sword Sect was also kindly invited to this young talent show organized by the Jiangnan Family.
After the status is improved, it is not the occasion you need to participate in to prove your identity;
It is whether you can be invited to this occasion to prove his gold content.
Of course, the Little Qianlong Club has been held for many years. The gathering of young warriors endorsed by several major families has almost earned the reputation of "Sword Discussing in the Little East China Sea", and it is quite valuable.
The Jiangnan aristocratic families organized this small Qianlong Meeting to provide an opportunity for the young people from each family who were just starting out and who had not yet stepped onto the center stage to compete. It was originally a small-scale exchange meeting between the sects of several major aristocratic families, but later it became more and more popular. It gradually encompassed the entire south of the Yangtze River and even affected the entire territory of Dali.
All warriors under the age of thirty who are above the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm and have not entered the Hidden Dragon Ranking can participate. It is divided into two levels: the first Qi and Blood Transformation Realm and the second Qi and Blood Transformation Realm.
The Three Transformations Realm is naturally not included. The Three Transformations Realm of Qi and Blood is already considered a big shot, and in many places he is enough to become a martial arts master who founded a sect. Those who enter the three realms of energy and blood transformation before reaching the age of thirty will definitely be on the Hidden Dragon List.
In a grand event jointly organized by aristocratic families and large sects, the rewards for those who win the ranking are naturally generous. The first place may even have the opportunity to enter the secret realm ruins to practice for a period of time;
However, the rewards are still secondary. Many young people It was in this arena that warriors first became famous, and they even directly entered the Qianlong Association from a young age and gained the name of Qianlong.
It is the long-cherished wish of many martial artists to practice martial arts silently for ten years and become famous all over the world once they appear on stage.
Therefore, this little Qianlong Club attracts thousands of people, the competition is fierce, there are many experts, and those who rank at the top every year are all outstanding talents.
Xie Yuanzheng was curious about who had been selected, and heard them discussing:
"Have you heard? Huang Zifeng from Zhujian Peak is going to be sent to participate in the first realm change competition. , the second state of transformation is Senior Sister Ning Zining. "
"Senior Sister Ning? She is going down the mountain. Last year, her reputation for the two swordsmen began to spread to the outside world. It seems that she will officially represent the swordsman at such a grand event this year, for the sake of the sect and herself. Become famous!”
"Hey, you think Senior Sister Ning is so good-looking, will she get more suitors if she goes to Jinling? Hey..."
"What are you talking about? It won't be your turn if you do! But listen It is said that the women in Jiangnan are as gentle as water, petite and graceful. Maybe they like this style like Senior Sister Ning..."
"Ning. What happened to Senior Sister, Senior Sister Ning? "
"As you know, Senior Sister Ning has a fiery personality, and her figure is even hotter than her personality... Maybe the men in Jiangnan can't stand this."
" It’s true that Senior Sister Ning has a hot figure, and I think her personality is pretty good. I just like this hehe..."
"You are suitable to go to Shuzhou, and you should not stay in Yunzhou. Senior Sister Ning has such a fierce temper, whoever marries her will have it for the rest of his life..."
"What are you talking about?"
A voice that was a bit fiery and seemed to have the flavor of midsummer sounded.
Several inner disciples tightened their vests and turned around, looking at the beautiful and broad-minded woman, and said nervously:
"Senior Sister Ning! I, we …”
"If you don't practice your sword every day, you'll know how to talk about it! Go away!"
Ning Zi glanced at them and scolded them.
To put it this way, they didn’t care much. As if they had received an amnesty, several people left quickly with blushing faces.
Ning Zi spat.
When these male disciples get together, all they can talk about is those things. They talk about swordsmanship much less than they talk about women!
But they are just some cute little boys who talk like regular prostitutes and have no experience in holding a little hand.
She shook her head and looked at the calm Xie Yuan on the side, her eyes brightened:
"Junior brother Zhang is still stable, unlike these impetuous junior brothers. Hey, you are nothing like this. I just started! Have you always had this bitter face since you were a child?"
Xie Yuan looked at Ning Zi walking quickly, his eyelids twitched, and he quickly moved away.
I just praised myself, but it would be inappropriate if I got caught again... It was really not intentional, but Ning Zi always made such an impressive statement and attracted attention.
In fact, in the dormitory before, Xie Yuan's behavior when chatting with his roommates was similar to that of the male disciples just now.
It’s just that on Ruyun Peak, or in this world, there are no longer those who can make jokes like before.
Ning Zi invited Yue Feng to teach him personally, and his status was much higher than that of the inner disciples who entered Yun Peak. Xie Yuan lowered his head and saluted Ning Zi:
"I have met Senior Sister Ning! I wonder why Senior Sister Ning came to Yunfeng? Do you need Junior Brother's help?"
Ning Zi waved her hand. ：
"What's the matter? I just came to find you, otherwise why would I have come to you! You won't be like those junior brothers who have already thought of the name of the child, haha!"
Ah?
Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment and failed to keep up with Ning Zi's rhythm:
"Looking for...me? Why is senior sister looking for me?"
"It's not me. You are the sect leader and they are looking for you. I came here on my own initiative to prevent them from being slow. Junior Brother Zhang, come with me to the main peak now!”
After Ning Zi finished speaking, she grabbed Xie Yuan's arm and started walking up the stone steps.
Xie Yuan was almost staggered by the furious Ning Zi, but he still said in confusion:
"Sect Master...? Senior Sister Ning, may I ask why the Sect Master is looking for me?"
"Stupid! What else is going on these days? It's just the Little Qianlong Club! I'll go up and give you a few words. Hurry up and we're about to go down the mountain! Don't waste time and miss the day!"
Little Qianlong Club?
Xie Yuan subconsciously raised his eyebrows.
What does this little Qianlong Club have to do with him?
After all, he is already a real Qianlong... No matter what the reason is, if he is on the list, he is on the list.
Moreover, even if Li Xingtuo wanted to send him to make the sect famous, he should know that his situation was not suitable.
The current strength of "Zhang Shan" is that he has just broken through the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm, and his aura is not yet stable.
During this period of practice, Xie Yuan made several breakthroughs in the same period.
Lin Zhen had long touched the threshold of the Qi-Blood Transformation Realm. After inviting Yuefeng to practice hard for a period of time, and under the guidance of Luo Shuang, he had successfully become a warrior in the Qi-Blood Transformation Realm for some time.
From an ordinary person to this realm in one and a half years, I have to say that his talent and luck are top-notch. There are ancient ruins in the front, a master is recruiting disciples in the back, and Xie Yuan is secretly helping out. It can be said that the Lin family will have a prosperous future.
The same is true for Lin Cheng. Thanks to the many foundation-building medicines on the first two floors of the pagoda, the fixed bones and closed meridians that he had practiced for a long time were reconstructed, completely improving his talents. Thanks to his extraordinary hard work and perseverance, coupled with a large number of Blood Dragon Pills, he finally made a breakthrough in the autumn season and became a Qi and Blood Realm Transformation Warrior.
Then the next day, Xie Yuan, who was pretending to be impatient even in external training, broke through and continued to be brothers with Lin Cheng. It was very reasonable and reasonable, and Li Xingtuo just wanted to laugh after hearing this.
Therefore, Xie Yuan is now an inner disciple who has just broken through the First Transformation Realm. Even with the reputation of being a genius, he is not qualified to represent the sect in the Little Qianlong Association.
Besides, even if his true strength is more than this, it is impossible to show off in the Little Qianlong Conference where the Grandmaster will definitely be watching.
It's the same thing in normal times, but during a fight, one's second-transformation energy will definitely leak out. The master can tell it at a glance. As for directly showing the true strength...how can it be explained that once you realize the Tao, you will realize the second state of transformation?
Although Xie Yuan had some tacit understanding with this unpredictable sect leader, since he hadn't said anything about opening the skylight yet, he naturally decided to do it for Zhang Shan.
So Ning Zi said that Li Xingtuo was looking for him because of the Little Qianlong Club. He was very confused. What was the use of looking for him?
It's impossible to get on stage. It's possible to secretly kill your competitors and give laxatives or something...
And even if you want to participate by yourself, haven't you chosen the person to live in it long in advance? It's a bit strange to call yourself after you have already set off.
Xie Yuan frowned and thought for a long time. He couldn't figure out the reason. He was just dragged by Ning Zi step by step and quickly descended into Ruyun Peak and then up to the main peak.
When he looked up, the main peak hall was already in front of him.
Xie Yuanshu raised his brows. After thinking so much, he might as well just wait for the answer to be announced.
In Li Xingtuo's study.
With a bang, the heavy wooden door was opened, and Ning Zi dragged Xie Yuan in and strode in, saying softly:
"Report to the sect master, the disciple has brought Junior Brother Zhang!"
“It’s here, so soon?”
Li Xingtuo smiled.
"Junior Brother Zhang's attitude is still very positive."
Ning Zi smiled and let go of her hand.
Xie Yuan had an expressionless face. Ning Zi looked beautiful, but she was actually very strong. How could there be a weak woman in the Second Transformation Realm? He had red marks on his hands along the way.
He saluted Li Xingtuo:
“I have met the sect leader.”
At the same time, his eyes glanced around, and in an instant he had a panoramic view of the study room.
Qin Zhenyang and Huang Zifeng are there as expected, but... why is Lin Zhen here too?
Xie Yuan was a little strange. He glanced at Huang Zifeng's expression and remained silent.
Li Xingtuo nodded:
“Since we are all here, do you know what happened?”
He did not wait for Xie Yuan to answer, and said to himself:
"The Jinling Xiao Qianlong Meeting will be held on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Cangjian Pavilion and the Jinling Yao family sent us letters at the same time, inviting young disciples of our sect to participate. I It is planned that Zhen Yang will lead the team, Ning Zi will participate in the second-level competition, and Zifeng and Lin Zhen will participate in the first-level competition.
“The competition is secondary, and there is no need to put too much pressure. You should mainly go and gain experience, see the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and see what the warriors in the prosperous southeast are like. Using martial arts to make friends is beneficial to your practice. "
Everyone clasped their fists in response. Xie Yuan was silent for a moment and asked:
"Sect master, what kind of job does that disciple go to...? Are you doing the logistics for all the senior brothers and sisters? Or do you also want to participate in this arena where Qi and blood have changed? ”
Li Xingtuo listened to his question and said with a smile:
"What, do you want to participate?"
Xie Yuan was silent for a moment, then said:
"Disciple I feel that my strength is not suitable for competing on stage.”
“It’s really modest, not bad.”
Li Xingtuo seemed to praise.
“…”
Xie Yuan was speechless.
This conversation sounded very normal to Ning Zi and others. They never expected that what the two of them actually meant was the opposite of what they understood...
"You performed well before, I also learned a lot on Sword Peak, so I asked you to go to the mountain Take a walk down there. As I just said, seeing the scenery and warriors of other places is good for your own practice and can help you integrate the gains from Jianfeng. The Jinling Villa is short of manpower recently, so you can stay there for a while. By the way, watch the Little Qianlong Party.”
Li Xingtuo said calmly.
When Xie Yuan heard this, his expression moved and he saluted:
"Disciple thanks the sect master! I will obey the sect master's order."
Li Xingtuo waved his hand and said to him again Several people explained to each other, especially asking Lin Zhen not to be stressed. After all, he had just made a breakthrough and his main purpose was to increase his knowledge.
These words made Lin Zhen, who rarely communicated with Li Xingtuo, very excited. He said in his heart that the sect leader cares about his disciples and is considerate. He is really the best and most perfect sect master in the world. How can he be a sect leader with so much virtue? The Yunshan Sword Sect’s encounter with such a master is all due to Biaotou Xie...
In this regard, Li Xingtuo deserves this name, but Luo Shuang obviously has not told his disciples about the fact that his sect master almost became a master uncle of the same lineage.
After Li Xingtuo finished explaining, he waved his hand:
"You go and prepare first. We will go down the mountain tomorrow. Zhang Shan will wait a moment."
Several others Except for Qin Zhenyang, everyone bowed and left. They each glanced at Xie Yuan and only said that the sect master had other affairs to deal with. Lin Zhen's eyes lingered a little longer, but he didn't attract anyone's attention.
After the others left, he closed the door of the study room. Only master and apprentice Li Xingtuo and Xie Yuan were left in the room.
Xie Yuan cupped his fists and said:
"The sect master sent me there with another mission?"
Li Xingtuo praised:
"You are quite clever. This trip is indeed a mission." There are other tasks for you. Since you are so keen, why don't you guess why? , guessed:
"Disciple is not sure... is it related to the affairs of Jinling Academy? The academy has been in trouble recently and needs disciples to go there?"
Large sects often have similar offices and enrollment in other states. Setting up a place of this kind is, firstly, to coordinate one's own business and industry in the local area, and secondly, naturally, to attract disciples and talented people.
The Yunshan Sword Sect has a separate courtyard in Jinling Prefecture in the center of Jiangnan. However, the Sword Sect cannot compete with the aristocratic families and local sects in Jiangnan. The other courtyard is not large in scale and not well-known, but it is always Occupying a place.
Li Xingtuo nodded appreciatively:
"It seems that it is right to entrust the task to you. You do have some insight, and with your... Haha, detective It should be good.”
Xie Yuan saw that Li Xingtuo had almost smashed the window paper with him, so he had to smile politely.
After Li Xingtuo finished speaking, his expression calmed down, he became a little serious, and his tone took advantage of it:
"The report I received yesterday, the steward of the sect's Jinling Villa, Wang Zhiyi , was assassinated."
"What?"
Xie Yuan said in surprise.
The steward of the sect's other courtyard was assassinated?
He frowned suddenly, this was no small matter.
Although Jinling Villa is not big, Jinling is the center of Jiangnan after all, and Jianzong also spent some effort there.
Steward Wang Zhiyi is a carefully selected capable person, good at dancing and agile. Although his cultivation level has not reached the third level of Qi and blood transformation, he is still at the top of the second level of Qi and blood transformation. He is not inferior to the heroes on the Qianlong list, but he is older and is not on the list.
Such a person was actually killed? The person who takes action must not be mediocre.
Xie Yuan frowned tightly. The murder of a steward from another sect. If it was done by other forces, it would basically be a provocation or even a signal to start a war.
Li Xingtuo nodded heavily:
"Yes. And there are no clues about the murderer. I don't know why or which family it is."
Thank you Yuan nodded slowly:
“So the sect leader sent me to find out the truth?”
He quite thinks highly of himself, probably because the previous Wuhe case left a deep impression on Li Xingtuo.
Li Xingtuo said yes:
"Yes. There is no clue about this matter yet. If we send elders there, Aurous Hill is a sensitive place with many forces, and it may have an impact. You The alertness and keenness shown before are all suitable candidates for this mission, and this is one of them."
Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows, are there other reasons?
Li Xingtuo’s face was erratic, and he was a little confused:
"Some time ago, Wang Zhiyi reported to me once that there seemed to be something strange about the big families in Jiangnan, but he didn't say anything specific. He only said that he was still investigating."
The person in charge of the other courtyard, naturally There are also some responsibilities for collecting intelligence and observing major events.
Xie Yuan was suddenly enlightened and frowned slightly. Could it be that he found something that shouldn't be checked?
But even if he sees some secrets, for the sake of Yunshan Sword Sect, ordinary forces will not do anything to him. Unless this secret is a matter of life and death, it cannot be exposed even at the risk of breaking up with the Yunshan Sword Sect. After all, with the strength of Yunshan Sword Sect, no one in the world can ignore it.
So what is the secret?
Xie Yuan suddenly thought of the missing persons case discovered in Wuhe, and his heart moved.
Is it just the same thing?
The sect leader may also suspect this.
Li Xingtuo confirmed his suspicion:
"You touched the tails of the Yongyang Qian family and the Jinling Yao family in Wuhe before. I suspect that Wang Zhiyi also noticed some of the Jinling Yao family. It’s strange that it has something to do with the Wuhe incident, so after receiving the news yesterday, I thought about it and decided to send you to investigate.”
Xie Yuan now understood the whole story of asking him to come.
Sure enough, it has nothing to do with the Little Qianlong Society, but there is still such a secret. Are you going to Jiangnan to investigate the case...
Thinking of the tragic events that Wuhe saw in the past few days, thinking of the successive fires and the deafening cries, Xie Yuan looked serious and stood at attention with his fists clasped:
" Disciple, I obey!”
Xie Yuan agreed without hesitation. He had personally experienced the family's thunderous methods in Wuhe, and Situ Qin repeatedly reminded him that he already knew it.
Any family that can last for thousands of years has terrifying power hidden in the secret, with suffocating means and very careful planning, which is almost impeccable.
Even if they were to sabotage their plan in Yunzhou, Xie Yuan and Situ Qin would face life-or-death danger together, not to mention investigating deep into Jiangnan where the family has been entrenched for thousands of years, the degree of danger would be greatly increased.
But Xie Yuan still did not hesitate.
The waterway node of Wuhe River was broken, and Yunzhou's power was eliminated by Situ Qin. However, if it is not clear, the tragedy of Wuhe River may happen again in other places.
Now even the stewards of the Yunshan Sword Sect have been killed, but they have shown their tails again. If you don't seize the opportunity, find out the facts, and miss the opportunity, you may not be able to stop them the next time.
However, this kind of thing is definitely extremely dangerous, and you must be extremely careful, extremely careful.
Then it is not like playing the role of a family in the Sword Sect. It cannot reveal any flaws...
Xie Yuan was deep in thought when Li Xingtuo suddenly threw something over.
He subconsciously caught it with both hands, only to find that in his hand was a small sword, less than the length of his hand, without an edge, like a child's toy or decoration.
"This trip is very dangerous. Naturally, I cannot let you go unprepared. This small sword has the sword intention of my Glimpse Sword. If you encounter a life or death crisis, you can use it. Remember, remember, this thing is gone once it is used. Don't use it unless it is absolutely necessary. If it is exhausted, retreat as soon as possible."
Li Xingtuo said seriously.
He talked a lot, but when he saw Xie Yuan had no reaction, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and muttered:
"What's going on? Are you thinking about running away again? Take my Sword intent?”
Xie Yuan came back to his senses and didn’t hear Li Xingtuo’s muttering, but said with some uncontrollable excitement:
"Thank you, sect master! This disciple will definitely fulfill his mission!"
The line of fonts in front of him was still looming, which made Xie Yuan finally come back to his senses, but it was still difficult to concentrate.
[Glimpse Sword: (???/???)]
What... is this? !
“There’s no need to be so moved, right? I can’t help myself.”
Li Xingtuo grinned, and then said in a deep voice:
“This trip is indeed a training for you. The first task is to protect yourself, and the second task is to find out the truth and prevent the sect’s heroes from dying in peace!
“Of course, the sect will reward you for your merits and will not let you sweat and bleed in vain. If you really find something out, according to this secret level, you can enter Sword Peak again to gain enlightenment. Well, you can stay for ninety-nine and eighty-one days. "
When Xie Yuan heard this, his eyes brightened slightly.
Jianfeng?
Black Sky Book!
Every advancement in the Black Sky Book has brought him a huge improvement in strength.
It’s just that the Black Sky Book upgrade now costs one thousand points. Although the accumulated points are raised over time, he also spends a lot of time practicing, and it is impossible to gamble all of them.
But if you can enter Sword Peak, your progress will surely be rapid, and the next breakthrough should not be a problem.
“Yes!”
Xie Yuan responded loudly.
Li Xingtuo nodded, as if he wanted to say something else. He hesitated and just said:
"Then do you have any questions? If not, go back and prepare. Without further ado, tomorrow Then go down the mountain."
Xie Yuan shook his head and said goodbye to Li Xingtuo.
After Xie Yuan left, Li Xingtuo tapped the desk lightly with his index finger, making a regular sound.
Qin Zhenyang, who had been silent all this time, saw his master's look and knew that he was thinking. After waiting for a while, Li Xingtuo stopped and said to him:
"Zhenyang, you help him investigate the case, but you don't need to get involved too deeply. Let this kid use his strengths! Your The primary goal is to see the ruins of Zhenhu Lake. "
Qin Zhenyang nodded, hesitated, and asked:
"Seeing the ruins of Zhenhu, can Junior Brother Zhang give it a try? "
Li Xingtuo? Shaking his head:
"I was just thinking about it, but I didn't come up with a way for him. If he wants to get a spot, I'm afraid it won't work if he doesn't show all his strength and go to the Little Qianlong Conference to show off his skills. But he probably doesn't want to be exposed, especially if he provokes others. After those two families, they can’t be exposed even more.”
Qin Zhenyang also nodded, thought for a while, and said:
“With Junior Brother Zhang’s luck, maybe he can find a way.”
“But, that’s not the case. It must be a good thing."
Li Xingtuo said slowly.
...
Xie Yuan returned to the small courtyard, quickly locked the door, and took out the small sword.
The small sword has a simple shape, and a vague and ethereal sword intent reverberates inside, which is extremely difficult to sense.
It’s not that the sword intention is weak, on the contrary, when it can be felt, Xie Yuan feels that the power of the small sword in his hand is infinite.
It’s just... This inexplicable feeling of sword intent is both here and there, half true and half false, looming, leaving Xie Yuan completely confused.
But Xie Yuan still insisted on comprehending for a long time, and then stared at the panel in front of him, observing carefully.
Unfortunately, after a while, there was still no change in the panel.
[Flashing Shadow Sword: (???/???)]
He sighed, it seems that this thing cannot be understood just by thinking about it.
The exercise method is marked with "?". This is the second time I have seen it. The first time was the Black Sky Book that was activated for the first time.
It took a long, long time for the Black Sky Book to appear on the panel and finally activate, and it only took a special opportunity.
"It seems that such peerless swordsmanship can't be understood with just a hint of sword intent. I'm afraid it also needs an opportunity."
Xie Yuan nodded silently, his excitement subdued slightly. .
Just now I thought that with the wisp of sword intention given to me by Li Xingtuo, I could master the infinitely powerful and peerless swordsmanship of the Floating Light Sword in one night, but it turned out that it was not that simple.
I am afraid that even if he truly realizes it with his current strength, he will not be able to use it at all.
However, this is undoubtedly a good sign!
Everything that appears on your own panel will eventually fail!
No matter when this "?" will disappear, it will definitely be a matter of time. Sooner or later, I will learn this peerless swordsmanship!
Thinking of this, Xie Yuan was very happy. He took the small sword given by Li Xingtuo and stroked it gently, his eyes full of desire.
Fortunately, Li Xingtuo did not spy on him, otherwise if he had seen this scene, he would have driven Xie Yuan out of Yunshan overnight.
Xie Yuan looked forward to it for a while, and then thought about the mission of going down the mountain, and became slightly solemn.
It is never easy to fight against aristocratic families.
However, you should never not do something just because it is difficult.
Xie Yuan looked at the panel in front of him, carefully evaluated his abilities again, thought carefully, and made plans for various situations in his mind.
Then he packed his luggage one by one, packing every useful thing into categories.
Xiao Huan Dan, Dali Vajra Pills, various elixirs and wound medicines;
The Variety of Mysterious Weapon Sword, Emerald Jade Buddha Pendant - the previous ones were damaged, and then Situ Qin took out an identical one from the warehouse ’s...
Xie Yuan could only admire that such treasures, top-notch magic weapons that could withstand several attacks from the Third Transformation Realm, could actually come in pairs.
However, Situ Qin only had two such jade Buddhas, and they were all given to Xie Yuan.
The weapons and magic weapons were also put away, and finally the small sword given by Li Xingtuo.
Xie Yuan touched it and felt a little more confident, so he solemnly kept it close to his body.
Early on the second day.
"Junior Brother Zhang, let's go down the mountain!"
Ning Zi banged on Xie Yuan's courtyard door, but no one answered, making her cross her arms in dismay.
This action stirred up waves again.
"Are you so late? Wait for him!"
"Senior Sister Ning, you are an hour early..."
Huang Zifeng whispered.
Qin Zhenyang and Lin Zhen couldn't help but nodded. They were both called by Ning Zi, and finally came to Xie Yuan's courtyard together, ready to ask him to go out.
“Why did you sleep for so long? Aren’t you excited to go down the mountain!”
Ning Zi chirped and was about to knock on the door again when she heard a voice coming from the side:
"Good morning, brothers and sisters."
A few people looked to the side and found Xie Yuan's hand He picked up his sword and revealed his figure from a large rock on the east side.
He had sweat on his forehead, his face was reddish, and he was breathing lightly. It was obvious that he had just finished his morning exercise.
“So early...”
Ning Zi said in surprise. She suddenly paused halfway through her words.
The sky has just glowed, and a young man is standing on the big rock. The red sun behind him is only half exposed, covering it just right, as if he is standing in the sun.
He looked like... he would rise with the morning sun.
A few people were a little stunned when they saw this scene. The honest and simple young man had a calm and resolute face. He did not show anything strange. He just jumped off the huge rock and walked to the entrance of the courtyard and bowed to them:
"Everything is packed. Brother and sister, please wait a moment. I'll go in and scrub it, and I'll set off right away."
Ning Zi waited for Xie Yuan to enter the door. There was the sound of water inside, and she said after a while:
"Why does this kid feel so powerful?
"Well, there is this guy accompanying me down the mountain. Quite interesting. "
Qin Zhenyang looked at the courtyard gate and then at the huge rock, his eyes flickering but he said nothing.
Huang Zifeng silently counted the time and sighed softly:
"I have always heard that Junior Brother Zhang is known for his hard work, but today I found out that it is even worse than I imagined."
Lin Zhen was silent, just looking at the courtyard gate, not knowing what he was thinking.
……
Jizhou, Pengshan, Prajna Temple.
In a Buddhist hall, there is a young monk with a clear temperament and fair skin sitting cross-legged on a futon, with his hands clasped, facing the huge Buddha statue, his eyes closed, and his lips constantly moving, as if Chanting.
An old monk walked in outside the Buddhist hall, wearing a seven-treasure cassock and holding a nine-ring tin staff.
He has a kind face, white eyebrows and white beard, hanging down to his chest, but he naturally looks majestic. When he moves, there is even a faint golden light flashing around him, and the Buddha's music is chanted, as if he is a mortal of the Buddha. Incarnation.
He looked at the young monk sitting cross-legged in front of him and said softly:
"Amitabha! Huijue, the time has come."
Huijue seemed not to have heard and remained closed. He closed his eyes and chanted silently, as if he had not heard Master's call.
This master, whose actions are accompanied by precious light and whose ears are ringed by Sanskrit sounds, is the abbot of Prajna Temple, the master of Huijue, the third in the Tianlong Ranking, the great master of martial arts, and the master of Zhiling.
However, although he looked solemn and sacred, like a Buddha walking in the world, Hui Jue ignored him, and Zhi Ling was not impatient and waited quietly for Hui Jue to finish his homework. look up.
Huijue opened his eyes and looked up at the ten-foot-high Buddha in front of him. There were no pupils in his eyes, but a golden light, as golden as the golden Buddha statue!
After a while, the light in his eyes gradually dissipated, and his pupils reappeared, his eyes as pure as a child.
Huijue stood up and bowed slightly towards Master Zhiling:
"Master, I'm going down the mountain."
Master Zhiling sighed:
"Amitabha! Go, I hope all the Buddhas will bless you and your wishes will go well."
Huijue said with an innocent look on his face:
"So what if your wish comes true? So what if it doesn't come true? The disciple's destiny is there, and he will always go there."
After saying that, Huijue clasped her palms together, bowed slightly, then took small steps and walked slowly and slowly towards the outside of the temple.
Master Zhiling held a staff in one hand and raised his palm in the other hand, chanting the Buddha's name. He looked at Huijue's back with compassion on his face.
……
Yuezhou, at the top of Luofu Mountain, in a small and clean Taoist temple.
“Bang bang bang——”
The door of a quiet room was knocked hard, and a little Taoist priest with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes kept knocking the door impatiently outside, shouting:
"Old Taoist, hurry up! I'm going down the mountain!"
The old man’s long and helpless sigh came from the room:
“If you want to go down the mountain, just Go on your own, why are you quarreling with me? I really don’t know what I did in my previous life to accept you as a traitor!” I learned to practice swordsmanship and become a hero, but you tricked me and brought me to this barren mountain. Do you think I want to?”
The little Taoist priest got angry when he said this, and slammed the door again:
"Old Taoist, hurry up! You promised me, I can go down the mountain today!"
"I won't let you. Come on!”
"Then you should give me some equipment! You are the second most powerful disciple in the Heavenly Dragon Ranking. Why don't you give me some magical weapons when you come down from the mountain? I think your whisk is pretty good..."
"Don't even think about it! ”
The suppressed roar of the old Taoist priest came from inside:
"That is the ancestor's magical weapon. How can it be used by a mere disciple like you?"
"Then your Taoist robe of the master..."
A faint voice came from inside:
“I’m not dead yet.”
"Oh, do you have to die before I can wear it?"
The little Taoist scratched his head:
"Then you..."
"Zhang Junyi, I advise you Be careful with your words and actions.”
There seemed to be a faint sound of thunder and thunder inside.
The little Taoist priest Zhang Junyi pricked up his ears and heard the noise, and quickly stopped talking, smiling and saying:
"Master, ever since I was deceived by you... Ever since I followed you up the mountain, I have to give you some treasures when I go down the mountain for the first time. Come on! Otherwise, it would be inappropriate for us to spread the word!"
There was silence for a while, and the door suddenly opened without any wind, and three talismans and a copper coin floated out.
"These three are the Golden Talisman of the Emperor, the True Talisman of the Three Purities, and the Thunder Talisman of the Divine Sky, which are enough for you to deal with any dilemma in the world."
The old Taoist priest said lightly.
When Zhang Jun saw the three talisman papers floating in front of him with golden light, clear light and purple light, with mysterious runes written on them, he grabbed the talisman papers with a smile, put them into his arms, looked at the floating copper coins, and said curiously :
“Thank you, Master! Master, what is this copper coin?”
"Copper coins are just copper coins. You can tell your fortune when you have nothing to do, and you can buy your life when you are in trouble. Anyway, your life is only worth this copper coin. It is not bad for you to learn how to slay demons and repel demons, but it is better to learn fortune-telling. It's harder than climbing to the sky, and it's as stupid as an ox..."
The old Taoist priest cursed, hating that iron cannot become steel.
Zhang Junyi smiled and didn't take it seriously. He grabbed the copper coin again, threw it high in his hand and caught it. When he opened his hand and saw that it was facing up, he said with great joy:
"I think this trip will be auspicious, it will definitely be a smooth journey!"
"...Get out of here."
The old Taoist priest couldn't bear to look any longer and closed the door heavily.
After the door was closed, Zhang Junyi packed up, looked at the wooden door, put away his playful smile, knelt on the ground upright, and kowtowed three times:
"Master, the disciple has gone down the mountain. ! ”
After saying that, he straightened up, held his head high, and his eyes were bright. He turned around and stepped out of the Taoist temple, rushing down the mountain like the wind.
After Zhang Junyi left, the door of the Taoist temple opened without any wind, revealing the old Taoist priest sitting cross-legged on the ground in the main hall, wearing the Taoist robe of the Heavenly Master and holding a fly whisk.
The old Taoist priest has fair hair and a childlike face, and a rosy complexion. He looks like a lively and energetic old man.
He looked at the direction Zhang Jun was going down the mountain, pinched his fingers, then frowned slightly and let out a long sigh.
Lao Tao got up and went out, walked out of the Taoist temple, came to the edge of the cliff, and slowly raised his head.
He looked up at the sky, quietly gazing at the blue sky and the infinite heights, silently.
