When the news spread, Liuzhuang was shocked.
The thousand-year-old willow tree has transformed!
"Isn't this evil?" a villager said.
"Back then, Master Swordsman said that this tree has a spirit, which shows that the willow spirit is not evil." The village chief said, "I heard that there are evil spirits in Machi Town recently. The willow spirit has been guarding our village for thousands of years. If it has the intention to do harm, how can it be done? Can you wait until now?"
"Could it be that the evil spirit is targeting us, and Lord Liu Ling is protecting us to prevent us from encountering misfortune, so he reveals himself and fights the evil spirit?" Chen Yuanfang, the village chief's grandson said, he was only thirteen years old, but he had a clear mind. Tou, "That's why when Grandpa Liu Ling came back, all the wounds on his body were bleeding!"
"Is that so?" The uneasy mood of the villagers had just calmed down, and someone was afraid again: "But Liu Ling has protected the village for thousands of years, and I have never heard of him being injured like this. Could it be that the evil that he encountered this time is very powerful. Can Master Liu Ling be safe?" Return?"
As soon as he said this, everyone became worried again.
"It's useless to talk more. We are all mortals. How can we fight against evil spirits?" the village chief said worriedly, "Let's wait for Master Liu Ling to return."
After waiting for a full day, Liu Ling never returned.
Late at night, however, two foreigners arrived at Liuzhuang, one old and one young. They were dressed simply, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that they must be extraordinary people who dared to walk casually in Machi Town, where evil spirits are infested.
The visitors were none other than Xie Xuan and Bai Ze.
The village chief treated the guests with courtesy and invited the two people to his home, where they had a low-thatched house with bitter tea and oil lamps. After listening to the village chief's words, Xie Xuan pulled the wooden stick and was about to go out, "According to what you said, I'm afraid this Liu may not be the opponent of the evil spirits who caused chaos. Disciple, let's go and follow my master to slay the demons!" "
"Okay!" Bai Ze jumped down from the wooden bench and followed Xie Xuan to open the door.
"Grandpa, we must bring Grandpa Liu Ling back safely!" Chen Yuanfang hugged the door frame and shouted at the back of the two people as they walked into the night.
"Relax!" Bai Ze waved his hand without looking back.
"Sir, the old willow tree at the entrance of Liuzhuang Village has only taken a thousand years to transform. Isn't this aptitude too bad?" After walking out of the village, Bai Ze looked at the tree pit where the willow tree was, surrounded by a circle of bluestones. , there are still three unburnt sticks of fine incense in the incense altar used for sacrifice, obviously the village chief just prayed for Liu Ling again.
"My qualifications are a bit dull, but it's rare to have a kind heart." Xie Xuan said, "But ten years ago, the swordsman was able to realize the sword intention of a willow and a thousand swords under the tree. I guess the willow tree must be somewhat capable. It is really a blessing from heaven. Be diligent."
"Then you say, for a person who practices Taoism, which one is more important, talent or diligence?" Bai Ze asked, "Which one can reach the pinnacle of Heavenly Dao?"
"I am not an immortal, I don't know how to cultivate Taoism without talent." Xie Xuan took off the gourd and took a sip of wine, "I'm afraid I can't answer your question."
"If you ask me, talent is more important." Bai Ze held his head, the night wind blew his thick black hair, and looked at the sky full of stars, "Nineteen days of heaven, no one has extraordinary talent, how to seize that glimmer of heaven, and use it to Proving the Great Way?"
"That's because you have never seen that in this land of Kyushu, there is a fool who is rare in a hundred years, and he can also win the name of Sword Immortal." Xie Xuan said, "If you ask me, both can reach the peak of Heavenly Dao, but the road It’s just different.”
The two of them hurried on, talking to each other, to the river crossing near Liuzhuang.
Xie Xuanneng could sense that the evil spirit was rampant and evil there.
…
Liuzhuang crosses the river.
Two figures stepped on the ford across the river and faced each other, tit for tat.
Ten feet away, there is a huge pool of water created by the unknown swordsman who spent seven, seven and forty-nine days under the willow tree to realize the One Willow Thousand Sword ten years ago.
The night wind carries water, and the crossing river flows, reflecting the stars in the sky.
Willow Spirit's hair was disheveled, her bark-turned-clothes were cracked everywhere, and dark green blood was flowing freely.
The figure confronting him across the river obviously cannot be called a human being. He has a dark green face, flamboyant black hair, and a slender figure, but eight long spider legs covered with stiff hair grow on his back.
Under the cover of night, the ends of the eight long spider legs were swallowed up by a faint cold light, like eight iron spears that could kill people in an instant.
Liu Ling's old right hand sprouted hundreds of willow branches, tender green and full of vitality. Then they twisted and twisted together to form a long green sword, which he held in his hand.
"Old Liu, you and I are both members of the demon clan. We have struggled to transform into each other for hundreds of thousands of years. Why do we need to kill each other with the same clan?" The black spider spirit smiled evilly and said, "Why don't we share the essence and blood of the living people in Liuzhuang to increase our cultivation? Are you plotting to achieve the highest level of evil?"
"Thousands of years ago, under the guidance of the saint, I dared not forget my roots and protect the safety of all living beings." Liu Ling did not waver and stood with his sword in hand.
"You and I have fought three times in a row, and each of us has been injured. But you also understand that we will win or lose tonight." The black spider spirit smiled solemnly, its fangs hidden, "You die and I live. Even so, do you still insist?"
"Hold on." Liu Ling said.
"In that case, let's make a life-or-death decision!" The black spider spirit's eight demonic claws shook, and the demonic energy turned into arrows, swallowing up the black light, roaring out, and heading straight for the eight vital points of Liu Ling's body.
"The breeze blows in the willow!" Liu Ling retreated violently, avoiding the three arrows, and then swiped his long sword, using softness to overcome the rigidity, and knocked away the four arrows. Three willow branches in his left hand circled out and turned into a long whip, grabbing the eighth black one. The arrow was thrown out.
In the blink of an eye, the black spider spirit has stepped into the water to kill!
Four long legs like fine iron thrust out, and the spear came out like a dragon, piercing Liu Ling's heart.
"One Willow Thousand Swords!" Liu Ling had no choice but to use his killing move. However, the demonic energy was nearly exhausted and he could not use the full strength of this move. Liu Jian was handed out, and the sword energy was straight. Counting over and over again, it was only three hundred.
See you soon!
The green sword energy intertwined like a dragon, violently slicing the surrounding river water, causing waves to fill the sky.
Liu Lingxu opened his mouth angrily, but vital blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
He is using his life source to draw the sword!
"Black poison web!" The black spider spirit opened its mouth and spat out, and jet-black spider silk spurted out. It swelled in the wind, opened up and turned into a huge spider web, and hooded the three hundred sword energy.
The two collide!
The sword energy was shrouded in a snare, cutting vertically and horizontally.
I saw the Dragon Sword Qi being wrapped in a black net, with more than sixty holes broken in an instant, and heading straight towards the Black Spider Spirit.
Most of the sword energy was surrounded by spider webs, and the two phases were consumed, and then they couldn't fight anymore and both sank across the river.
"Qiang!"
The eight long legs were protected in front of him to resist the rushing Liu Jianqi. For a moment, there was a sound of gold and iron colliding, sonorous and powerful!
"laugh!"
There were still streaks of sword energy that penetrated the eight long legs covered with spider armor and hit the black spider spirit's body.
Spiders are covered in hard armor, with their weak point being their soft abdomen.
Liu Jianqi hit the black spider spirit's body, and green blood suddenly splashed out!
But the vital parts were protected by the black spider spirit, and there were no fatal injuries. He was stunned to resist Liu Ling's strongest sword.
"Behead ten thousand armies!" Liu Ling swung his sword, but the crossbow was at the end of its strength and the sword was shaking.
The black spider spirit's eight legs shook together, and with a vigorous jump, its body flew more than two feet into the air, avoiding Liu Ling's sword.
"Death!" The black spider spirit's eight legs stabbed down like thunder.
At the same time, the black spider spirit opened its mouth and spat out, and the thick black spider poison broke through the air and hit Liu Ling's chest!
"Cough!" Liu Ling spit out a mouthful of blood as the toxin entered his body. It was green and black, and he knelt down in the shallows across the river. The cold river water splashed all over him.
"Is this what life should be like?" Liu Ling was silent as the black spider spirit's fatal blow struck his head with a sound of tearing air.
With one blow, he will definitely die!
Liu Ling closed his eyes tiredly. The spider poison paralyzed his body. At this time, he could no longer move and could only wait to die.
"Look at me!" A loud shout suddenly came from behind. Listening carefully, it turned out to be the voice of a young boy.
The black spider spirit looked at it blankly, but saw something coming across the sky. He couldn't tell what it was for a moment, but it went straight to his chest and abdomen. As a last resort, he had to retract his eight spider legs to block the sudden attack. .
Close!
Only then did the black spider spirit see clearly that the flying object turned out to be a huge bluestone.
That big piece of bluestone weighed more than 800 kilograms at least, but it was thrown out by the twelve-year-old boy in one fell swoop, flying more than fifty feet!
Simply not human!
The black spider spirit was in the air, unable to escape, and was hit by the big blue stone. It fell from the night sky in a miserable arc, and hit the river hard, causing a splash of water three feet high.
"The accuracy is good." Xie Xuan pulled the gourd and took a sip of wine. His gourd seemed to be infinitely big and he couldn't finish the wine. "How about I leave the spider spirit to you, can you handle it?"
"I'm telling you, old man, I don't know anything except my natural strength and ability to withstand beatings." Bai Ze spread his hands, "Isn't it appropriate to be tough with such monsters?"
"What's wrong?" Xie Xuan said, "This little spider has just stepped onto the other side of the mortal world, a small character."
"Can't even the thousand-year-old tree spirits deal with the evil spirits on the other side?" Bai Ze asked.
"The best period of Liu Ling's transformation has not yet come, the opportunity has not come, and he goes against the will, damaging his Tao foundation and hindering his natural strength." Xie Xuan said, squinting his eyes and touching his goatee, "Otherwise , with the sword moves of his Yiliu Qianjian, half of the mountain can be flattened, and even ten little spiders are not enough for him to see."
"Then do you think I can beat that spider spirit?" Bai Ze asked.
"Just brute force, of course it won't work." Xie Xuangao smiled enigmatically, and slapped Bai Ze on the back of the heart with a palm, "I will give you the power of a palm. I can use this palm to cross the river." The time for a cup of tea depends on how you use it!"
The Dao Sect's Ziyang True Qi penetrated into his body, and Bai Ze was shocked all over. For a moment, his heart and lungs felt as if a blazing furnace was burning fiercely.
"Ah!!" Bai Ze shouted, not in pain, but in pleasure!
The powerful true energy circulates through the meridians and circulates throughout the body.
"Is this Daoist Qi?" Bai Ze felt that he could break a mountain with one punch. At this moment, he just wanted to rush forward and fight the spider spirit for three hundred rounds!
"How?" Xie Xuan asked.
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Bai Ze shouted, his anger rising into the sky.
I don't know if it was his illusion, but he intuitively felt the location of the sea of qi in his dantian, and he felt vaguely shocked, as if something was being pulled and moved for a moment.
"Teach me the method of luck to you!" Xie Xuan gave Bai Ze a push. "The human heart is dangerous, but the Taoist heart is weak; only the essence is the only one, and you can grasp it! Keep your mind on Dantian, take Dantian Qi sea as your heart, and bring luck If you move your limbs, if your thoughts move, your Qi will move; if your thoughts stop, your Qi will stop!"
"Understood!" Bai Ze intended to guard his Dantian, and sure enough, Ziyang's true energy suddenly sank. Although his luck was rough and he still couldn't control most of his true energy well, he was fearless. Behind him stood an invincible sword king in the north. What was he afraid of?
He ran out, raised his toes, held a large bluestone weighing more than a hundred kilograms in his arms, and threw it towards the black spider demon who had just climbed up from crossing the river.
"Hey! Monster, let me take another shot from the sky!" Bai Ze yelled, and headed straight for the ford across the river.
