Soon, the black sandalwood tiger cat's demonic power also recovered, and then it shrank in size and changed into its original appearance, except that the thunder mark on its forehead turned into a red thunder mark.
Guo Ying'er held the black sandalwood tiger cat in her arms and followed Zhao Ning deep into the Valley of Wind and Rain.
The gangster cultivators who were grabbing the sword were not the same group of people as those who were chasing Guo Ying'er just now.
Guo Ying'er roughly knew the location of the group of guys, and with Zhao Ning's help in covering up their presence, they soon saw a cave in the valley.
There are many monks' relics and the furs of Wind and Rain Valley monsters scattered outside the cave. The cave's restrictions are faintly glowing, and there are people inside.
With a sweep of Zhao Ning's consciousness, he could see three monks inside, cursing and applying medicine.
"Damn Hu San, we usually let them come in and out as they please, but now they dare to snatch our things. Every time I apply medicine, I want to kill them. It's been a month, this spirit How many medicines have been used for the injury, and how many spiritual stones have been wasted."
"It's almost time. We snatched these blood spirit powder from the medical cultivator! It will take less than half a month to recover. When we recover, we will discuss with those in the south and cooperate to get rid of those guys. die."
At this time, Guo Ying'er had already walked outside the restriction. She was very arrogant. She gently picked it up with a finger of her left hand, and small stones immediately flew up on the ground, and then flicked with her finger.
The small stone rushed straight towards the restriction, fell into the restriction, and instantly activated the spiritual fire and lightning, making a crackling sound. In less than half a breath, the small stone was crushed into powder. The wind blew again, and there was nothing left.
Guo Ying'er didn't care, just stared at the cave with her head raised.
"Guys inside, hand over the Wind Spirit Crystal, or I'll make you look good!" This was imitating their tone during the robbery.
Soon, three people from the cave quickly came out, full of vigilance.
They could not imagine that anyone in the Valley of Wind and Rain would dare to provoke them.
But when he saw the two female cultivators standing one behind the other, especially when the female cultivator in front was the same Qi Refining cultivator who had snatched the Spirit Sword before, he immediately laughed sarcastically.
"Hahaha, who was I at that time? Your pretentious swordsmanship can't even be used, and you actually came to the door. You must be looking for death!"
The other person still had a cold face and said, "You came just in time. It was because of your broken sword that we were plotted by Hu San and his group. I must spread my anger today."
As he said this, he performed a hand gesture, and the wind around him changed instantly, turning into several hurricanes, sweeping through the air, and rushing towards Guo Ying'er mercilessly.
Guo Ying'er was also very angry, "You actually said that my sword is a broken sword, I have to make it look good to you!"
"Ebony, scratch him to death!" Guo Ying'er did not take out the sword to fight, but instead shouted to the ebony tiger cat. The ebony tiger cat jumped to the ground instantly, became huge, opened its mouth and roared, and stopped those hurricanes in place. Then, with a sweep of its long tail, these hurricanes actually attacked the three people under its control.
When the three of them saw that Guo Ying'er was still resisting, they immediately stopped joking and started to fight against this strangely powerful spiritual beast.
One person actually pounced directly on Guo Ying'er.
In the early stage of foundation building, that person's aura was very turbid. It was obvious that his foundation was not strong and his foundation building strength was not strong.
When Guo Ying'er took the move he charged at, she still used the same spell as before, but because she had retrained in swordsmanship, the power of the spell was greatly reduced. Although she was able to resist the opponent's move, she also suffered severe damage to her arm. hit.
This made Guo Yinger quickly take two steps back.
And the opponent pressed hard.
She wanted to look back for Zhao Ning, but for some reason Zhao Ning didn't move at this time and seemed to have disappeared behind her.
As soon as Guo Ying'er was in pain, the black sandalwood tiger cat sensed it and immediately turned around to help her fight off the approaching monk. However, as it turned around, the other two people also rushed over.
Two versus three, plus Guo Ying'er is just practicing the Great Perfection of Qi. No matter how unstable their foundation is, and no matter how turbid their true energy is, they still have foundation-building strength.
Guo Ying'er knew that she could no longer use spells, so she had to take out the Heng Rui sword and saw an attack coming towards her. Guo Ying'er just used the Heng Rui sword to block forward, but this blocking method could not stop all the attacks, but fortunately, Heng Rui The sword light spread out and automatically formed a barrier in front of Guo Ying'er, blocking the attack like this and even getting a little closer.
But her moves are just ordinary slashing and stabbing.
Zhao Ning paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "The sword goes with him. He replaces the sword with his body and hooks his chin."
Guo Ying'er was stunned when she heard Zhao Ning's voice, and moved subconsciously, but her movements were always half a minute too slow, and instead she asked the other party to get out of the way.
Zhao Ning said again, "The sword expresses the heart. When the heart moves, the sword moves, and the bow hangs before it."
Guo Ying'er also followed suit, but it was still the same as before.
Zhao Ning had noticed before that Guo Ying'er rarely counter-attacked with a sword. Now that she saw it, she felt that something was wrong. She had practiced the basic body-building technique of Sword Art in Qingxiao Sect, and Guo Ying'er would never use it in such a cramped manner.
Zhao Ning raised her eyes and glanced, and suddenly her consciousness moved. Guo Ying'er felt that her movements were out of control for a moment.
The spiritual power rushed towards Heng Rui's sword crazily, and he turned upward, just in time to break through the opponent's spell. Then Heng Rui's sword drew several more sword lights, and the sword light divided into sword light, which was extremely powerful and Slash the opponent in front with extreme speed and ruthlessness.
Just when the other party sensed that something was wrong, he was hit by the sword light, which shattered the protective robes around him. He jumped back suddenly, hit a bamboo, and was bounced back by the bamboo.
The time he spent in the air finally made him understand where the sudden strength came from. He turned around and saw Zhao Ning watching their fight calmly from three feet away.
He could feel the faint pressure from the other party. He thought that the pressure was just because Zhao Ning's cultivation level was slightly higher than theirs, at most a small level. However, he did not know that Zhao Ning's cultivation level was restrained. If he did not release the pressure deliberately, They simply cannot detect the oppression of the Golden Core Realm.
But this man shouted, "Don't worry about this woman and the spiritual beast anymore, kill the one outside first."
As bandit cultivators, they know clearly that they must deal with the greatest threat to the enemy first, otherwise the longer they delay, the more they will suffer.
The three of them had a tacit understanding, and the other two immediately flew up and used their spiritual weapons. Three of them rushed towards Zhao Ning at the same time.
"Zhao Ning, be careful!" Guo Ying'er shouted and called the black sandalwood tiger cat, "Little black tiger, go and help Zhao Ning."
However, she didn't need to say anything, the ebony tiger cat had already pounced on her.
Zhao Ning only raised his eyes slightly and saw that the three spiritual weapons were approaching three feet in front of him. He could clearly see the spiritual forbidden lines on the spiritual weapons. They were all triple spiritual weapons.
Generally speaking, during the Qi refining period, first-level spiritual weapons are used. The strength of the second-level spiritual weapon is only determined by the number of earthly evil restrictions. Second-level spiritual weapons can only be owned by those who have the foundation, opportunity, and family to practice Qi. In the foundation-building realm, the spiritual weapons generally used are at the second to fifth levels.
These guys only had three triple spiritual weapons in the early stage of foundation building, and they obviously lived like a fish in water in this valley of wind and rain.
A cold light flashed in Zhao Ning's eyes, and the three triple spiritual weapons suddenly stopped in mid-air. No matter how they kneaded and cast spells, the three triple spiritual weapons did not obey their orders.
For a moment, fear crept into their hearts. Before they had time to do anything, Zhao Ning's eyes turned and glanced over the three of them. The spiritual weapon that was stagnant in mid-air flew towards them in an instant, and without stopping. Hitting them, the three of them instantly flew out in three directions after being hit hard by their own spiritual weapons.
Three deep pits were hit hard.
Guo Ying'er was extremely surprised. She held the sword and looked at the pit for a while and then at Zhao Ning for a while.
She asked in a low voice, "Zhao Ning, what kind of cultivation level are you in now? Could it be...couldn't it be that you are already the Jin Dan Master?"
Zhao Ning said nothing, which was probably his acquiescence.
Guo Ying'er took a breath of cold air, and for a moment she didn't know how to treat Zhao Ning. When she realized it again, her body was already in the posture of paying homage to the real person.
However, Zhao Ning would not let her bow down. The breeze blew and Guo Ying'er stood upright.
The ebony tiger cat walked up to Guo Ying'er and rubbed her with its head, as if it was also reminding her of something.
Guo Ying'er was slightly embarrassed, but then she was pleasantly surprised, "Zhao Ning, your cultivation is so fast. If I want to learn from you, I will also spend fifty years forming elixirs, so that my brother can wake up faster."
Zhao Ning didn't correct her. He just walked closer to her and said, "Of course you need to form an elixir, but if you are still afraid of the sword, it will be difficult to build the foundation."
What Guo Ying'er did before was not that she didn't do it, but that she was afraid, as if she was full of fear for the sword, as if she was also full of fear for the sword.
Guo Ying'er glanced at Zhao Ning in surprise, but then lowered her head, "I know, Zhao Ning, I, I tried very hard to suppress it."
"Every time I use this sword, I seem to see my brother killing people in a bloody scene. I, I am so scared. It seems to be telling me that my brother is a murderer."
Zhao Ning was silent, but she was also a little surprised in her heart. She did feel the demonic energy when she got the sword, but the demonic energy would not cause such a situation, and Guo Ying'er's Taoist heart could not offset the evil thoughts of the demonic energy, let alone Create inner demons.
She walked closer, "Will it appear every time I cast it?"
"Yep."
Guo Ying'er raised her head and looked at Zhao Ning, "Zhao Ning, am I also possessed by the devil?"
Of course not. Zhao Ning knew very well that Guo Ying'er was not possessed by the devil. She said, "I need you to use it again."
Guo Yinger knew that Zhao Ning said this to help her find the truth, so she did not refuse.
Zhao Ning stretched out her hand, and a spiritual light gathered in her palm. In response, Guo Ying'er's eyebrows also shone with spiritual light.
But when Guo Ying'er slowly performed a basic sword move, Zhao Ning followed her and saw the scene she described.
It is true that the Qingxiao Sect was in chaos that day, with mountains of blood and seas of corpses. Qin Keyuan killed real people, elders, sects, and many people, but Heng Ruijian also killed many people in the outer sect area.
Zhao Ning realized that this was not Guo Ying'er's problem, but Guo Congheng's inner demon. The person holding the Heng Rui sword in the picture was Guo Congheng.
He knew that he had been possessed by the devil and that he was being transformed uncontrollably, but his consciousness still maintained the last glimmer of clarity, and in this glimmer of clarity, he used his personal power to help Qin Keyuan eliminate the fleeing cultivators who were possessed by the devil.
Until finally, under the sword of Qin Keyuan Yinhe, Guo Congheng's sea of consciousness was also broken open, and the remaining soul eroded by the devil flew out and landed on Heng Rui's sword.
Qin Keyuan could still stick to his Taoist heart under the circumstances, but Guo Congheng fell into self-doubt and despair. In addition, he was already eroded by the devil, and his entire soul fell into confusion.
If he hadn't been a sword cultivator and had the realm of combining human and sword, his remaining soul would have been corroded by the demon, instead of transferring the demon to the sword.
But that scene and the killing with the sword had been deeply engraved in Guo Congheng's consciousness.
When everything passed, it became a demonic thought that repeatedly questioned his true heart.
Zhao Ning withdrew her magic power, and Guo Ying'er immediately sheathed her sword. She walked to Zhao Ning expectantly and panicked, "What...what happened?"
Zhao Ning paused and answered her, "That's not your inner demon, it's your brother's. You refined him into a Life Sword, and with the relationship between brother and sister, you can telepathically understand his pain."
Hearing what Zhao Ning said, Guo Ying'er became even more nervous and sad. Her lips moved as if calling "brother".
Then he put away his sadness and asked more firmly, "Zhao Ning, what should I do? As long as I can help my brother resolve his inner demons, I will do anything."
Zhao Ning shook his head, "You don't need to do this. You just need to practice the sword, understand the Taoist heart, and understand the sword's intention. He did not regret what he did, he was just desperate, and his sword fell on the hands of his compatriots. On the body, you need to tell him that the true way of swordsmanship is fearless of life and death, fearless of closeness and distance, and can cut off mistakes, chaos, evil, demons, and all illusions."
Guo Ying'er held the sword in her hand tightly. She seemed to understand but at the same time, Zhao Ning's words at this moment were the backbone and direction for Guo Ying'er, who had been confused for decades.
So, she still nodded heavily, "I...I will overcome my fear, and I will definitely take my brother to learn the way of swordsmanship."
No matter how trembling and hesitant her words were, Zhao Ning chose to believe her, reached out and patted her on the shoulder to encourage her.
Maybe Zhao Ning can help her and her brother, maybe there are many people who can solve this inner demon, but Zhao Ning knows that if they can't overcome it personally, it will be meaningless to them.
After a moment of pause, Guo Ying'er smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not just a sword cultivator. As long as I, Guo Ying'er, want it, I can definitely do it. Before that, I must repair the Heng Rui Sword."
She looked around and went into three deep pits. Two of the three pits were still unconscious, and only one shivered and didn't dare to come out at all. Apparently, she also discovered that the opponent opposite was neither foundation building nor Qi training. But they are real people in the Golden Core Realm, which makes them dare to be so bold.
Guo Ying'er stood on the pit and asked again, "Where is the Wind Spirit Crystal?!"
The man directly threw the storage bag to Guo Ying'er and said very frankly, "There are still many treasures hidden in our cave. You can take them as you like. Please be noble and spare our lives. We didn't mean to rob you in the first place." It’s a spiritual sword.”
Guo Ying'er snorted, "Why, did you steal the treasure unintentionally?"
The man never expected that Guo Ying'er would choose words like this. He was speechless for a moment and could only kowtow repeatedly at the bottom of the pit and beg for mercy.
Guo Ying'er snorted again, took the storage bags of the other two people, looked through them and walked towards Zhao Ning. She glanced at them and sighed, "They are all spiritual stones."
These people have been collecting protection fees in Wind and Rain Valley for more than a day or two. They have accumulated all the spirit stones. Since the storage bags are full of spirit stones, the wind spirit crystal is in the cave.
Zhao Ning didn't go in. He raised his hand and a flash of inspiration occurred. After a while, a simple box floated out of the cave, one foot long and one foot wide, and no more than half a foot high.
Guo Ying'er took it in her hand and opened it, and she saw seven or eight wind spirit crystals placed on it.
There is also a jade slip placed under the Feng Lingjing.
