Tongtian Island is huge, huge.
Its huge area is almost as large as one or even several states of the Splendid Dynasty.
Wearing a green robe, after listening to Yang Junjie's words, he left the dormitory building and headed straight for the blind mountain to the north of Kun Lake.
Yufeng arrived at Blind Mountain.
On the backside of the mountain, I found the legendary pothole.
It was a huge pit with a diameter of no less than a hundred feet.
Its name is "Guangming Cave".
Although it is named after the word "bright", in fact, the cave is so deep that nothing can be seen at first glance. It is as dark as a bottomless abyss.
There is also a terrifying and terrifying cold air that continues to emanate from the pit.
It's like the largest ice cellar in the world!
According to Yang Junjie's description, this cave is one of the six sword formation seals that seal the people of the Jiaotu Continent's Heavenly Demon Clan. It is also the place where Zhuge Jielu, the great emperor of the human race, guards.
As long as you go down, you can see the great emperor himself.
Therefore, Ling Zhen did not hesitate and jumped down resolutely.
Face the darkness at top speed.
Continuously skimming to a lower position.
Sure enough, in the abyss of the cave, there were traces of kendo energy.
Every strand is like a tiny embroidery needle, piercing the human flesh fiercely, non-stop!
There are simply countless.
The sword machines were stacked one after another, constantly and crazily eroding Ling Zhen's protective body.
The pain never stopped for a moment, and even breathing smoothly became an extremely luxurious thing.
For ordinary monks, this is tantamount to the peak of pain, and they will want to get away from here as soon as possible and go to a comfortable place without flying swords.
But for Ling Zhen, who has rich experience in "enduring hardship", these hardships that can drive people crazy are not impossible to accept.
In the past three years, Ling Zhen has been training his body in the Return of the God of War during the day. At night, the Yin spirit has left his body and entered the terrifying illusion called the Sword Realm, feeling the pain caused by the repeated switching between life and death. Huge impact.
The strength of the mind and body are no longer what they used to be, and have undergone earth-shaking changes.
The physical strength is stronger than black iron, and the mental stability is stronger than gold and stone!
Therefore, you can be completely fearless.
Bite the bullet and truly experience the pain caused by those sword machines destroying the body.
Feel the pain and adapt to the pain.
In the end, I even fell in love with pain!
Ling Zhen didn't change his speed at all, and dived down with all his strength.
Even if there are literally countless tiny needles pricking and stabbing his entire body over and over again, it will never change the firm determination of this swordsman monk.
The most shameful thing in the world is that as a sword cultivator, one is afraid of swords.
Because he was disturbed by the sword energy, he gave up what he was thinking.
Ling Zhen knew it very well.
Even if the kendo energy in Guangming Cave were several times stronger, and the pressure and damage caused to the body would increase, he would still have to hold on.
Never give up halfway.
Otherwise, it will inevitably affect your hard-won Taoist state of mind and make all the hardships you suffered in the past go to waste!
Slowly, the young man Ling Zhen, who was "bathed" in the sword energy, was gradually able to coexist with those terrifying energy machines.
The pain and suffering are certainly there, but they haven't gone away.
But Ling Zhen's body can already accept and welcome them.
Turn the pain from the sword machine into "fertilizer" that increases physical strength, thereby making yourself stronger.
Both physical and mental levels can be improved by withstanding the sword energy in the cave!
If this place is not dark, then it can be clearly seen.
Ling Zhen, the young man in green robe, had a smile on his lips.
It's like the classic story about putting children to sleep.
The story is about a pony crossing a river, and the meaning is just four words, knowing the depth of oneself.
No matter how Gao Fei and Yang Junjie reacted completely differently.
No matter how outsiders describe this giant abyss.
Only by going in and experiencing it in person can you have a say.
Only then can we use the most authentic feedback to support our guesses and thoughts.
As for Ling Zhen, the benefits of the creation in the cave far outweigh the disadvantages.
Even if you have the opportunity in the future, you can come to Guangming Cave regularly. While exercising your body, you can also improve your mental level. Kill two birds with one stone and kill two birds with one stone. Why not?
Getting closer to the bottom.
There was a whistling sound in my ears, but I still couldn't see anything in my eyes.
At first, there was still some skylight shining in from the upper position.
When we got to the back, even the light at the top was gone, and there was endless darkness in all directions, so dense that it was impossible to dissolve it!
At this moment, Ling Zhen felt as if he was in a void environment.
There is no distinction between the directions of east, west, north and west, and there is only darkness surrounding the whole body.
He was so arrogant that he quickly hit the stone wall due to the tilt of the direction.
After hitting the wall, Ling Zhen felt a slight sense of "reality". Finally, he was no longer in a place where there was nothing.
At least, there is still a "wall" that you can touch.
Ling Zhen still couldn't see anything clearly in his eyes, only darkness accompanied him.
He began to skim along the wall, heading downwards at a high speed, firmly believing that as long as he persisted for a while, he would reach the bottom and meet the "master" of this island and academy!
Sure enough, not long after that, he saw the light.
It was real light.
After his eyes adapted to the dark environment, they could suddenly see bright light. They were extremely sharp and could easily catch it in a flash.
Ling Zhen was overjoyed, and flew downwards with even greater effort, sparing no effort to pursue that glimmer of light.
But right now.
Ling Zhen suddenly realized that a majestic sword energy, far stronger than the surrounding energy, was flying towards him.
Without any time to hesitate, he immediately pulled out the sword Ji Le from his waist to carry the sword.
Fortunately, the sword energy was not very powerful and was successfully blocked.
Ling Zhen asked loudly: "Who is it?!"
Just as he shouted these words, at almost the same time, another person's voice also sounded.
Because the timbre was obviously different, Ling Zhen roughly judged that the source of the sound was not his own echo.
The man also yelled exactly the same thing: "Who is it?!"
Ling Zhen frowned and deliberately didn't say anything.
Then, the man shouted again: "Who are you?"
Ling Zhen was still flying down, and continued to get closer to the light at the bottom, but he still replied: "My name is Ling Zhen, and I am the new student who has just arrived in Shang Academy!"
The man, whose voice sounded equally young, announced his family name, "I am the disciple of Emperor Zhuge, Zhang Wei!"
Ling Zhen suddenly felt a little confused.
Zhang Shu?
How come this name sounds like something I’ve heard before?
Suddenly he remembered that in the dormitory, room 3701, the fat man had praised Ji Xingchen when he first met him.
My appearance and temperament can be compared with that of Zhang Shu.
It turns out to be this person!
Even Pan Jian, who came all the way from Wanhuizhou to become his disciple, failed to get Zhuge Jielu, the principal of the college, to accept him as his direct disciple.
Who is this Zhang Shu?
What kind of skills can he have to win this honor?
Judging from the slashing sword just now.
This person's swordsmanship is somewhat good, but it shouldn't be much better...
Just when Ling Zhen had this doubt in his heart, the young man who was invisible in the darkness said something.
These words made Ling Zhen want to praise him from the bottom of his heart.
You're so damn good at pretending!
It turned out that after he handed Ling Zhen a sword and announced his identity and name, he said something in Ling Zhen's direction.
"Sorry, I've only practiced sword fighting for half a month, and I can't control the retraction and retraction very well."
Only half a month?
Although the strength of the sword strike just now was not very big, it was definitely not very small either.
Ling Zhen realized that if it weren't for the sword Ji Le, which was a divine weapon forged by the Xuanyuan Sword Furnace, plus his years of hard work practicing swordsmanship, he might not have been able to withstand it if he had been replaced by another third-level monk who didn't work hard enough. .
Maybe he would be killed on the spot by that sword that he failed to hold back!
The corners of Ling Zhen's mouth twitched and he was noncommittal.
The young man named Zhang Mingzhu continued: "Why don't you say anything? Are you okay? You should have blocked the sword just now. Could it be that you were seriously injured?"
Ling Zhen then spoke, "It's okay. He's not that weak. You can kill him in one go."
Zhang Shu heard some strange meaning from these words, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and said: "It's okay, just now I was practicing the swordsmanship taught me by the emperor by myself, and I didn't realize that someone came down, so I stopped. If I accidentally cut you with my sword, I would be really embarrassed if I accidentally hurt you."
Ling Zhen didn't pay any more attention to it.
Wuzi Yufeng swept downwards, and while experiencing the sword energy destroying his body, he was getting closer and closer to the bottom of the pit.
Finally, I could see clearly the source of that burst of light.
It turned out to be huge luminous pearls embedded in the stone walls at the bottom of the cave!
The most incomprehensible thing is that those luminous pearls are not arranged in a haphazard manner, but are organized into large characters in an orderly manner.
Hit bottom.
Successfully arrived at the bottom of Guangming Cave.
Since those luminous pearls are embedded in the surrounding barriers, there are still some dark areas at the bottom.
The place where light cannot reach is the deepest part of Tongtian Island!
Zhuge Jielu was nowhere to be seen.
Ling Zhen sheathed the sword Bliss and began to raise his head to admire the large characters composed of luminous pearls.
He saw some clues.
There are sixteen characters in total.
Twelve of them are all in the same row, with no distinction between superior and inferior. They form a large circle and surround the bottom of the abyss.
The twelve characters are Zhu, Zhao, Zhou, Wen, Cui, Yan, Wan, Chu, Shao, Yin, Yi, and Zong.
The other four characters are relatively higher than these twelve characters.
The four characters are Yang, Yao, and Duanmu.
The two super big characters "Duanmu" composed of night pearls are taller than the two characters Yang and Yao.
Just when Ling Zhen stood in a place with light, raised his eyes, and thought about the meaning behind these words alone, a young man wearing a black robe and holding a sword swept down from above.
Arriving in front of the young man in green robe.
After taking a look at Ling Zhen, the visitor smiled and said, "It seems that I really wasn't hurt, so I'm completely relieved. It seems that next time you practice sword practice on your own, you should always pay attention to whether there are any People have come down, otherwise it will not be good if there is another accidental injury."
Ling Zhen knew from the tone of his voice that the handsome man in front of him was Zhang Shu.
"Are you Zhang Shu, the disciple of Emperor Zhuge?"
Ling Zhen raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.
The young man in black robe grinned, patted his chest confidently, and said, "That's right, the emperor has only accepted two disciples in his life, one is Yang Jie, and the other is me, Zhang Zu!"
Ling Zhen smiled politely, but somehow he didn't like the young man in front of him. He frowned slightly and said, "Are you serious that you have only practiced swordsmanship for half a month?"
Zhang Shu nodded, "Yes, it's absolutely true. In the past, I was very resistant to practicing swordsmanship because of family issues, so I always focused on boxing. It was only half a month ago that I followed the emperor's wishes and started practicing swordsmanship... No Come to think of it, after just a short period of practice, I have basically mastered the method of using sword energy to fight the enemy. It seems that swords are really easy to learn."
Ling Zhen became more and more unhappy as he listened, and his words became even more sinister, "Then you are really amazing. You have reached this level after only half a month of practice. If you practice for a few more years, you won't be invincible." Are you guaranteed to reach the eighth level of the Great Dao Realm?"
Zhang Zuo, a young man in black robes, took a quick look at the snow-colored sword at Ling Zhen's waist and said, "If you can withstand the kendo energy here and have such a good sword, I think you have already practiced swordsmanship." How many years has it been?”
Ling Zhen casually said "Hmm" and said, "It's not bad. I've been practicing for several years, but my talent is not good. It's far inferior to yours, Zhang Shu. If your sword had been more powerful just now, I'm afraid I would have died." Your sword is down."
Zhang Shu also became unhappy and frowned: "You are so boring. I am clearly talking to you properly. Why do you have to be so arrogant all the time?"
Ling Zhen just kept sneering, "What's wrong with me? Isn't this attitude good enough? Is it possible that I still have to be respectful to someone who almost hurt me? Do you really think there is something wrong with my head?"
Zhang Shu's voice also rose when he spoke, "Didn't I apologize to you already? You are such a fussy person. You are a manly man. How can you achieve such a big deal with such a small belly?"
Ling Zhen sighed softly, "You obviously just said a perfunctory 'sorry'. Any other words you said were not showing off to me? Do you think you are great because the Emperor has accepted you as his disciple?"
Zhang Shu is also a young man in his early twenties, with a strong temper. Of course, he was aroused by these words, "Why am I pretending to you? You are mentally ill. The emperor is willing to accept me as his direct disciple. This matter Aren't you worthy of being proud? If you are powerful enough and you let the Emperor accept you, I wouldn't mind having a bad-mouthed junior like you!"
"Get out of here, you said I have a bad mouth and every mouth is sick. Isn't your mouth smellier than mine?"
Ling Zhen said angrily, "The emperor's great reputation may be ruined because he has a disciple like you! I'm begging you, please quit the school on your own as soon as possible. Emperor Zhuge's glorious reputation If it really stinks because of you, then you are guilty of a huge crime, and you will never be able to make up for it even if you die ten times or a hundred times!"
Zhang Shu was so excited that he shouted: "Did you eat a few kilograms of dog shit before going out and forget to brush your teeth? What kind of stinky nonsense are you talking about? A rotten person like you is worthy of being a college student." student? I also advise you to drop out of school as soon as possible. You will definitely be a great shame to Shang Academy for thousands of years in the future, and you will be infamy for thousands of years!"
Ling Zhen was insulted so much that he couldn't bear it and cursed loudly: "You are a son of a bitch. You eat excrement as food all day long. You were taught by your wild father and wild mother to the point where you can't even speak human words." You know how to speak, right? Do you know that the dog is barking here? Come on, come on, bring the dog's mouth closer. I won't beat you, Grandpa Ling, until you have teeth all over the floor. From now on, you won't even be able to eat hard stool. I can drink watery feces and swallow yellow urine!”
Zhang Zhu became angry with embarrassment, stretched out his hand, pushed hard on Ling Zhen's left shoulder, and cursed: "You bitch, try to curse me again?! Look at you, Uncle Zhang, I won't hit you today." Your own mother doesn’t even know you!”
Ling Zhen immediately drew out the snow-white sword Ji Le, held it in his right hand, glared, and shouted harshly: "You son of a bitch who has a father and no mother, you dare to attack, right? Come on, let's compete." Let’s see who has a better swordsmanship and see if I don’t kill you with one sword!”
Zhang Wei also held the sword tightly in his hand, and said loudly, "Come on, do you think I'm afraid of you? Although I have only practiced sword fighting for half a month, I am more than enough to deal with a young man like you!"
Qing, Xuan.
Young men wearing two-colored robes and holding swords faced each other at the bottom of Guangming Cave.
The situation is tense.
A bloody battle is about to begin!
Before the two of them actually drew their swords, a very gentle voice came from not far away: "Stop fighting, what are you doing? How can someone want to fight each other to the death as soon as they get to know each other? No way!"
Ling Zhen and Zhang Shu both looked in the direction of the sound.
A man stepped slowly out of the darkness.
The man was quite tall and wore a snow-white crane cloak.
His head is full of white hair, and his beard is also completely white, similar in color to the crane's cloak.
His eyes were covered with pure black cloth, making him unable to see anything.
As soon as he saw the old man with white hair, white beard and white crane cloak appearing, the young man in black robe Zhang Shu hurriedly clasped his fists in salute, leaned over and said loudly: "I'm sorry, Master, it was my disciple who was rash!"
The tall old man, who covered his eyes with black gauze, waved his hand and said calmly: "It's not a big deal. It's normal for young people to be a little angry. Just control it a little and restrain yourself a little. Don't blame yourself too much."
Looking at Zhang Shu's reaction, Ling Zhen naturally understood that the old man in front of him was undoubtedly the supreme island owner of "Shang".
Zhuge Jielu, who had the highest combat power of the human race thousands of years ago, led all the human races in the Vast Blue Continent, and was one of the seal guardians of the Jiaotu Continent Sword Formation!
Ling Zhen, a young man in green robes, also saluted anxiously and said with great respect: "Young man Ling Zhen, I have met Emperor Zhuge!"
The old man with the compound surname Zhuge smiled softly, "You are a student of my college, why do you still call me emperor? Just call me principal."
Ling Zhen lowered his head and said "Yes", then changed his words and said: "Junior has met Principal Zhuge!"
The old man, who was taller than Ling Zhen and Zhang Shu, gently stroked his beard with his hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Look, just now we had to fight to the death, and we had to decide whether it was good or bad. Well, as soon as I came out, the two of them stopped fighting and stopped, tsk, young people... fickle, haha, fickle young people!"
Ling and Zhang both bowed their heads and were speechless.
Zhuge Jielu didn't mean to accuse him at all, and asked Ling Zhen in a gentle tone: "Did Yang Junjie drag you to live in their dormitory?"
Ling Zhen nodded in agreement and answered truthfully: "To be honest with the principal, this junior plans to live in room 3701 from now on and become roommates with Yang Junjie and the others."
Zhuge Jielu said "hmm" and then turned to his apprentice Zhang Shu and said: "Xiao Zhang, you and Ling Zhen will be neighbors from now on. There is no need to make the relationship so tense just after meeting. We will meet again in the future." , it will be difficult to talk."
Hearing this, Zhang Shu immediately raised his head and asked with a confused expression: "Master, what kind of neighbor are you?"
Zhuge Jielu smiled and explained: "You no longer have to live in my bright cave from now on. You have to learn to live in the world. Do you understand? You can just move to room 3702. Building 3 will be there." Next door to 3701.”
"But Master, I..."
Just as Zhang Shu was about to say a few words, Zhuge Jielu interrupted him in a more serious tone: "What? Don't you want to listen to Master?"
The young man in Xuanpao, Zhang Shu, was silent for a while and said: "Since the master said it, of course I will do it, but... I can't figure out why you want me to move there? What do you mean by joining the world? And the academy Do the students there make friends?"
Zhuge Jielu did not directly answer the disciple's question. He raised a finger to his lips and said "hiss".
then.
There was a loud bang, which suddenly sounded.
It was as if tens of thousands of kilograms of super gunpowder exploded in the earth!
Both Zhang Shu and Ling Zhen were greatly shocked.
The smile at the corner of Zhuge Jielu's mouth became very intense. He pointed upward with one finger and said with a smile: "The beating is over."
Ling Zhen, a young man in green robes, was quick-thinking and instantly understood what the principal meant by "the fight is over."
Obviously it refers to the "battle" with the sword god Yu Youcong, where he greeted Wenjian with his sword.
Ling Zhen asked tentatively in a low voice: "Who won?"
Zhuge Jielu, a white-haired old man with black gauze covering his eyes, raised his head and laughed, and said with a smile: "Since it is a life-or-death battle, even if the winner is determined, it actually doesn't mean much, but..."
The principal of the college, whose surname is Zhuge, made a downward movement with his fingers, smiled brightly, and said only five words: "The fish have entered the sea."
After that battle of swordsmanship.
The entire island of Tongtian Island was penetrated by a person's body from top to bottom.
A dharma image that combines yin and yang gods was cut down with one sword after a fight.
An old man in blue shirt holding a sword, after being hit by Dharma Prime's sword move, he couldn't help himself on the spot and could no longer control himself.
Just like that, he was knocked down from a high altitude.
After falling into the earth, it continued to shatter the island rocks.
Down, down.
Until his body broke through an entire island of sorrow at extremely fast speeds.
With a bang, a shocking huge wave was set off, and the water splash was shockingly big!
The old man still holds the sword in his hand, and he doesn't know if he is sane and has the strength to fight again.
In short, it just fell straight into the sea water.
