Unlike Yanxuan and Qian Chao who got their place on the same day, Li Jian got his own place after ten days after entering Mu Xiufeng. The reason is actually very simple. The place in Mu Xiufeng is about the same size as the other four gates, but people have to Much less. Sword cultivators like to practice in clean and secluded places. Therefore, even the Qi Refining disciples in Muxiu Peak mostly live in isolation and practice alone, scattered throughout Muxiu Peak.
It is impossible to walk around on a pair of feet with such back and forth. Therefore, among the five sects, only Mu Xiufeng asked his disciples to master the art of controlling the air before assigning him a place to live.
The things Li Jian received from his senior brothers were no different from those of Qian Chao and others. Although the elixirs and spiritual stones were valuable, they were average in his eyes. The only thing he couldn't put down was the spiritual sword, even though his senior brothers told him that this sword was only the lowest level. It is a spiritual weapon, but in Li Jian's opinion, this sword is much sharper and tougher than the one his grandfather gave him. However, he will not be able to use his grandfather's sword in the future. It is a very important thing to him. Important thoughts.
Li Jian also received a "Sword Code" from his senior brother. This "Sword Code" is the most basic scripture for Mu Xiufeng's disciples. This technique of controlling the air is recorded in the "Sword Code".
Under the guidance of the senior brother who taught the scriptures, in seven or eight days, Li Jian was able to fly up to a height of more than ten feet, walking and stopping in the air, and could see Liang Bake and the man named Jing Yi on the ground. The female disciple’s eyes were filled with tears. At that time, the two of them could barely manage to fly as high as a wall, not even reaching the treetops. It's not that these two people are not as qualified as Li Jian. In fact, to put it bluntly, they are just timid and dare not let go.
After a few days, Li Jian was able to move freely in the air. Although his speed was not very fast, it was also limited by his cultivation. He once tried to slowly float down from the top of Muxiu Peak to the bottom of the mountain, but when he wanted to fly all the way back to the top of Muxiu Peak, he found that he couldn't do it. Halfway through the flight, his spiritual power was exhausted in his body, and he had to stay on a cliff. Rest on the pine tree and meditate before flying all the way back to the summit.
In the next few days, the senior brother who taught the scriptures focused on explaining the "Sword Code" to him. It was not until Li Jian had no doubts that he found someone to take him to a place of practice that suited his liking.
Coincidentally, the person taking Li Jian with him was Senior Brother Gao who was waiting for him at the end of the Eighteen Peaks Bridge that day.
"Junior brother Li, I didn't expect that you learned the air control technique so quickly!" Senior brother Gao couldn't help but asked in surprise when he saw that Li Jian could keep up with him in the air.
"Senior Brother Gao deserves the award. This is just because I am a little bolder and am not afraid of falling."
"Come on, Junior Brother Li, I know a few good places with beautiful scenery. I will take you to see them."
Senior Brother Gao seemed to be very familiar with the geography around Muxiufeng. He took Li Jian flying around in the mountains to see many places, all of which were quiet places, and told him many anecdotes. In the end, Li Jian was above a bamboo forest but refused to leave.
"Senior Brother Gao, is there anyone practicing in this bamboo forest?" Li Jian asked.
"Oh? Junior Brother Li has taken a fancy to this purple bamboo forest. What a good eye!" Senior Brother Gao said, "Let me have a look."
As he spoke, he took out a booklet from his arms, flipped it over, and finally said to Li Jian: "Well, this used to be a place of cultivation for Senior Brother Shao. After Senior Brother Shao built the foundation, he chose another place to start building." Now that the cave has been established, this place has been returned to the master. No one has occupied this place yet. If Junior Brother Li is willing to practice here, I will record it for you, and this place will be yours from now on."
Li Jian nodded and landed in the bamboo forest with Senior Brother Gao.
"I remember my residence is over here, come with me."
The two finally stopped in front of a bamboo hut. The bamboo hut was a hut made of bamboo using local materials. The floor, walls and ceiling were all made of bamboo. Even the furnishings, utensils and beds in the room were all made of bamboo. The chairs are all made of bamboo, which is quite simple. This bamboo hut can only protect against wind and rain, but it is full of wild charm.
"Uh..., it seems to be a lot shabby here. Senior Brother Shao can really tolerate this. Junior Brother Li, do you still want to be here?" Upon seeing this bamboo hut, Senior Brother Gao frowned and asked Li Jian, Senior Brother Gao himself He spent a lot of thought on the residence in the place of practice. Although it cannot be said to be luxurious, it is comfortable. Therefore, although he also feels that the bamboo forest here is elegant, he does not like the crudeness of the bamboo hut.
Li Jian really liked it here, "Senior Brother Gao, just write it down for me. I like it here very much."
"Okay, actually, this bamboo forest is very good, but the living space is a bit simple. Junior Brother Li can buy some utensils by himself in the future. In addition, the bamboo forest is not ordinary, but spiritual bamboo. Well, This is Zijun Bamboo, if Junior Brother really doesn’t care about the simplicity of this bamboo hut, practicing here will definitely be of great benefit.”
In the bamboo hut, Senior Brother Gao recorded Li Jian's name in the book he had read before.
"Okay, Junior Brother Li, I have written it down for you. This place will be yours from now on. If there is nothing else, I will go back. If you need anything, you can go find me. I am not far from your place."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother Gao."
After seeing Senior Brother Gao off, Li Jian walked around in the bamboo forest. His bamboo forest covered almost the entire hillside. From the air, every place with green bamboo leaves was under his name. Although it looks green in the air, when walking in the bamboo forest, it is filled with purple energy. The roots of the bamboo are tall and round, and the surface of the bamboo that goes straight up and down shows a purple color. When you touch it, you can feel the cool and smooth bamboo body, which makes you put it down. The bamboo joints are slightly raised, and there are slight If you tap the bamboo body lightly with your fingers, it will make a "dang-dang" sound like gold and stone. This kind of purple bamboo is much taller than the purple bamboo in the world. The top of the bamboo is five or six feet above the head, and the bamboo branches are vertical and horizontal. Densely covered, the bamboo leaves are fluffy, covering the sky like a green curtain.
Although this bamboo forest is dense, walking in it not only does not feel stuffy, but the mountain breeze is smooth and refreshing. Li Jian is happy and secretly thinks that he has finally chosen a good place.
He also found several wild bee nests deep in the bamboo forest. The "buzzing" sound of wild bees flapping their wings could be heard ten feet away. Li Jian did not provoke these wild bees, so he kept them for now. When Brother Lu comes one day, if he is interested, he will take them all out and either eat them with honey or spread them evenly and eat them as roasted game.
When I thought of Lu Pingchuan, I also thought of several of my friends in Youming Valley. I wonder what happened to them these days. On the day when each disciple chooses a disciple, when she was chosen to go to Mu Xiufeng, Tang Ping once said to herself that she was freer than others and would take time to see him. The senior brothers in the sect are all kind-hearted and treat me well, but when it comes to practice, I feel more comfortable when I am with those people.
A few days later, two more people flew in from the valley of Mu Xiufeng. They were both Qi Refining disciples by looking at their clothes. One of them was a beautiful but heroic girl, and the other was a Mu Xiufeng. male disciple.
"Senior Brother Sun, that bamboo forest looks very nice."
"Junior sister Yun has such a good eye. It used to be the property of a senior brother Shao. It was in that bamboo forest that senior brother Shao successfully built the foundation. This happened a few years ago. He couldn't bear to leave and still lived in that bamboo forest. It took two years before I chose a better place to build a cave. My brothers and sisters all said that this bamboo forest is a blessed place, but it's a pity that the living there seems to be a bit crude."
"Don't worry if it's simple. At worst, I'll have to find someone to repair it. I don't think I need to look any further, so I chose this purple bamboo forest."
"Okay, since Junior Sister Yun has fallen in love with this place, I will record it for Junior Sister Yun." After saying that, the man called Senior Brother Sun also took out a booklet and started flipping through it. Unexpectedly, after flipping through a few pages, his face turned grim. He looked at the booklet carefully and looked at the bamboo forest below, and then said to Junior Sister Yun with some embarrassment, "Uh, Junior Sister Yun, unfortunately, this bamboo forest has been occupied by someone a few days ago. It seems that a junior brother named Li Jian occupied this place, eh, it was junior brother Gao Yungao who wrote it down..."
Before he could finish speaking, the female disciple named Yun frowned, interrupted him and asked, "Senior brother, did you say that this place is owned by Li Jian?"
"That's right, this place is occupied by Junior Brother Li Jian. Junior Brother Li also just started here. It is said that it was the first one to pass the Eighteen Peaks Bridge. If Junior Sister Yun really likes this place, I can go down and discuss it with Junior Brother Li. Let’s discuss and see if we can let him give up this bamboo forest to Junior Sister.”
"No need, Senior Brother Sun, let's go, there are so many good places!"
After saying this, Junior Sister Yun hurriedly pushed forward and flew forward, crossing the bamboo forest in the blink of an eye.
Senior Brother Sun was a little confused. Looking at Junior Sister Yun's face just now, it seemed that she was gambling with Junior Brother Li. They had just started, one was a child of an aristocratic family, and the other was selected from the first class. Junior Sister Yun didn't even stay in the Young Ming Valley for a day, so she couldn't have known her before. But looking at Junior Sister Yun's behavior, it was obvious that she was not on good terms with Junior Brother Li Jian.
But in the blink of an eye, Junior Sister Yun had flown far away. Senior Brother Sun was afraid that she would get lost, so he hurriedly shouted: "Wait for me!" and then quickly chased after her.
This shout alarmed Li Jian who was in the bamboo forest below. He was sitting cross-legged on a stone in the forest and meditating with his eyes closed. He looked up and saw no movement, so he continued to practice with his eyes closed. ,
At night, Luojing City was a sea of fire. Arrows like fire crows flew up and down in dense numbers from time to time in the night. Laughter, crying, wailing, and shouts of death were everywhere. Outside the city, corpses were everywhere, piled up like mountains, and blood flowed into rivers. Walking among them was like walking in the mud after a heavy rain. The smell of blood was so thick that one could not open his eyes. Li Jian staggered to the city gate. The once majestic and solid city gate was now open. Inside the city gate, a spear was pierced on the ground, and a head was lifted on the blade of the ten-foot-high spear. , the dirty blood still flows along the spear shaft and forms a blood puddle on the ground. Look closely at the head, you can see the white hair...
"Ah!" With a cry, Li Jian woke up from the nightmare, gasping for breath. When he stopped breathing, he realized that there was still night outside the window, and there was a sound of rain.
Li Jian smiled bitterly, it was still this nightmare. Ever since the Eighteen Peaks Bridge appeared, it would wake him up from time to time in the night.
Simply not sleeping, Li Jian got out of bed. Because his heart was confused, he took out the sword given by his grandfather and looked at it carefully under the lamp. He stroked the cold sword blade. Li Jian's thoughts returned to the time when he was standing side by side with his elders. On the day of the battle, he felt something in his heart. Under the pull of his breath, the sword energy he had cultivated in these days was actually poured into the sword, causing the sword to tremble and glow slightly. Fortunately, Li Jian discovered it early. , otherwise even if a trace of sword energy enters, this sword will probably burst into countless pieces of iron.
Alas, Li Jian sighed, Fan Tie is Fan Tie after all, if only this sword could withstand his own sword energy! It should be a happy thing to make a name in this spiritual world with the long sword given by my grandfather, but unfortunately, I couldn't do it.
Thinking of this, Li Jian put away the sword and took out his own spiritual sword. With a "cang" sound, the lingering sound trembled in the rainy night. Staring at the sword body that was as calm as autumn water, Li Jian His heart was surging, and he could no longer control himself. The sword energy in his body hit the sword in his hand like a flood.
On a dark rainy night, the interior of Li Jian's bamboo hut suddenly shone like the sun and the moon. Through the doors, windows, and gaps in the bamboo wall and roof, the bright white sword light shined through, piercing the night and lingering for a long time.
