"What's going on over there?"
"A duel between sword cultivators."
Mu Qing and Liu Weirui stood side by side on the viewing window sill. There was a lot of movement on the edge of the cliff. Many people must have noticed it.
In Liu Weirui's field of vision, large dark clouds suddenly gathered over the Qingchuanguan Valley, which had been clear and cloudless just now. Two groups of bright lights suddenly rose from the dark clouds and penetrated the stratus clouds, and then quickly fell to the ground.
Liu Weirui did not see all the things here clearly because the light was too dazzling.
"The swordsmanship practiced by these two people seems to be related to the moon in the sky, otherwise there would not be such a strange phenomenon in the world."
The vision has ended, and the two round sword moons with their respective shapes have long since dissipated.
Mu Qingjian's eyes narrowed slightly, and the spiritual awareness of the interaction between heaven, earth and human beings "saw" everything going on there clearly, and sighed: "It's over. It's really surprising."
Liu Weirui didn't feel nervous at all, but she felt that after embarking on practice, she would have the power to change the world. She quickly asked: "What was the result? Did the brighter side win?"
Mu Qing tried hard to appreciate the true meaning of swordsmanship revealed in that scene where swordsmen asked each other about swords. It was a practice scenery that he had never experienced before.
Feeling confused about the future path of cultivation is something that a third-level practitioner should not face.
But Mu Qing's talent was too high and his physique was very special, so his practice was actually quite smooth. It was a blessing in disguise in Tieguguzhai, and he was promoted to the third rank by accident, so he was really disappointed along the way.
Once a confident person has doubts about himself, it is actually difficult to completely resolve this psychological obstacle.
So after leaving Iron Bone Stronghold, he carefully dealt with possible interceptions and at the same time felt panicked about the current cultivation predicament.
When he is on the road these days, he has not dared to delay his practice. Whenever he has time, he will run the heart method of the Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra, refining the original Ten Thousand Poisons Green Qi in the body according to a specific qi path, and then store it in the acupoints. middle.
I still remember that on the night he just practiced the Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra, his Ten Thousand Poisons Green Qi was able to stop at the seventh acupoint among the two routes of Shaoyin and Shaoyang. He thought that with the subsequent refining, after the Ten Thousand Poison Green Qi in his body was completely hidden in the acupoints, he would successfully enter the eighth level of the Ten Thousand Poison Heart Sutra, which is the second level of cultivation realm recognized in the world. .
But things went against expectations, and Mu Qing felt very regretfully that he had not yet stepped on the road to the second rank, let alone the threshold to be promoted to the second rank.
There are not many changes except that the Wan Du Qi, which was a liquid before, has been completely refined and purified into a cyan amber fluid between liquid and substance.
Of course, Mu Qing can also understand that his own zhenqi is probably not unique in the world at the current third-level realm, but it is also rare in the world.
But this was what troubled him. Even if he narrowly defeated the second-grade sword Xiu Geng Jian by one point with the lucky use of poison, Mu Qing could still understand that he had not exerted one percent of his true strength.
Stones from other mountains can also be used to attack jade.
After watching the true meaning of the sword battle, Mu Qing finally understood the problem with his own practice after being confused and pondering: at the third level, he could be regarded as a poisonous cultivator, but he did not know what the specific Tao he practiced was. .
This is really embarrassing.
Mu Qing is a smart person, and he always wants to become stronger and become a first-class person, but in some aspects he seems slow and even blind.
After reaching the third level, choosing the path that suits you is the most important thing for a practitioner.
But Mu Qing seemed to be avoiding this choice subconsciously and was not prepared.
After all, the avenue that most clearly corresponds to the poison cultivator is undoubtedly the avenue of poison. But Mu Qing asked himself, his understanding of this avenue of poison was not even as good as the avenue of killing that he had been exposed to for a long time.
Before I had a detailed understanding and mastery of the "special internal power" in my body, I had been practicing Shura Jue. But Shura Jue focuses on practicing the inner mind through endless killing and achieving the way of killing. This avenue is extremely broad. Poison cultivation is possible, as is sword cultivation. In the mouths of practitioners, this killing method is even more futile. Its true meaning is huge, and it is actually the most difficult to cultivate.
The avenues are endless and inclusive.
The true meaning of the Avenue of Swords can also be incarnated and subdivided into thousands of branches. Each of the full and waning moons is one, not to mention that there is more than just one Avenue of Swords in this vast world.
The road is ethereal and difficult to fathom. In the past, Mu Qing only knew how to practice hard, but how could he understand this in detail?
But looking at the battle just now with their true meanings of swordsmanship, although pursuing their own path is still a fog, Mu Qing feels that he understands something a little bit.
Poison cultivation and sword cultivation, "poison" and "sword" can be both methods, or they can be promoted to avenues. This depends on the choice of the practitioner.
It turns out that sometimes the boat will not straighten naturally when it reaches the bridge, so we still need to prepare in advance.
Mu Qing stood on the viewing window sill, and in the end he still had not chosen his own path.
But after having more choices, he could clearly understand that after twelve years of nightmare, he would never choose Shura's way of killing.
And it is useless to think too much. It is better to find someone who has experienced more years of practice and has seen more mountain scenery to give you guidance.
The face of a woman with a cool temperament and stunning beauty immediately appeared in Mu Qing's mind, and she couldn't help but feel a little at ease.
"Mu Qing?" Liu Weirui broke the silence on the observation deck.
She was born with a face that was as elegant, dignified and beautiful as a blooming peony. At this time, her slender eyebrows were slightly frowned, her head was silhouetted in the sky outside the window, and she looked like a goddess.
This was the first time she saw Rujian's distressed and tangled expression on Mu Qing's face, and she asked worriedly: "What's wrong with you? Is there someone you know well in that battle?"
Mu Qing's eyes just happened to fall on Liu Weirui's stunning face. After shaking his mind for a moment, he shook his head and said with a smile: "No. After entering the practice, he turned around the creek bridge and suddenly saw the sound of clear springs and the top of the mountain. Suddenly I saw the vastness of the beautiful scenery, the forest leaping in the wind, and suddenly I saw the sun and moon hanging in the sky. Just like today, I watched the heaven and earth in a strange town. Wherever my heart goes, I can check and fill in the gaps for my own practice."
Liu Weirui gently patted her perky chest with her slender white fingers, and said with bright eyes: "That scene is so beautiful! Mu Qing, have you gained some enlightenment in your practice?"
"Yeah." Mu Qing shifted his gaze and said with a hint of embarrassment: "That's right, but my practice issues are too involved. Now I can only experience more people, see more scenery, and seek more knowledge. So much inspiration.”
"It's a pity." Liu Weirui cast her dimmed eyes out the window, "Due to physical reasons, I can't embark on the path of cultivation. My good friends are now the 'fourth grade' in the world."
Xiaochan followed and comforted: "Miss, don't worry, I will always protect you."
"In troubled times, apart from one's own strength, there are many foundations for standing up. Miss Wei Rui, don't be too sad."
"Well, that's right! At least I can spend money to treat you. I just don't know if I'll be able to treat you next time."
Mu Qing scratched his forehead with his slender and solid fingers, knowing that the topic had gone too far, and he said in response to the vision of heaven and earth just now: "In the battle between sword cultivators just now, the side with the weaker light won. , and I can vaguely feel that the flaws in the original sword intention of the person who won have made him his own unique swordsmanship, so I guess if I give that person time, I am afraid it will not take long for him to break through. "
"What level of sword cultivators are they?" Xiaochan asked.
"Third grade."
Mu Qing saw that the two beauties beside him breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The dynasty has been in civil strife for many years, and many people like me have chosen to embark on the path of spiritual practice. Now the number of times I meet true practitioners will become More and more, the two girls don’t have to worry too much.”
Xiaochan nodded hard and said, "Well, we can't just target the caravan when we encounter powerful people. That would be too scary."
"Then..." Liu Weirui felt offended, and after reacting, she pursed her red lips again.
"Miss Wei Rui wants to ask me if I would be in danger if I met those people just now?"
Although Liu Weirui knew that a swordsman named Geng Jian appeared in Lu Fanrou's incident, out of protection, Mu Qing did not go into too much detail about the matter involving the Shaoyakushi sect, so she did not know that Mu Qing beside her He has already narrowly defeated the second-grade sword cultivator "Obsidian Sword Maniac" with a very famous name in the world.
Mu Qing saw the brightness in Liu Weirui's eyes and knew that he had guessed his daughter's thoughts correctly. He replied softly: "If the other party's swordsmanship is perfect and the sword energy is endless, it will be difficult for me to get close. It can only be regarded as a tie, but at close range It’s my body that should win.”
As Mu Qing answered, he was thinking about how to face Geng Jian in the future.
He believed that as Tian Shou's second gear, he would never die from his own poison so easily.
Then you have to think about how to deal with it if you encounter it again next time.
I think there are things in Tianshou about what you should pay attention to when confronting him. You will definitely not let him use a "Body Breaking God Style" at close range.
After thinking about it, Mu Qing couldn't find a good way to deal with it, because most of what he learned in Hidden Valley were close-range assassination methods, and he had no advantage at all against sword cultivators.
"It seems that I have to find two sword scriptures to read. They are the best jade in the mountain." Mu Qing looked at Qingchuan Pass where Qingri returned and thought silently.
…
"You don't seem to know how you lost?"
Butcher Hu threw Zhang Zishan like a dead dog next to his unconscious brother.
"Hiss~" Zhang Zishan took a short breath and endured the pain: "Who the hell are you? If you think I offended you just now in the inn, then let me go and let my brother go."
After Butcher Hu waited for Yue Jiu to leave, he easily carried Zhang Zishan back to his butcher shop like a dead dog.
When he just caught Zhang Zishan, he grabbed the other person's right arm and already knew clearly the other person's final flow path, so he thought the kid in front of him was quite funny.
He ignored the other party's bluff words and asked himself: "What is the name of the sword scripture you learned? Tell me so that the old man can listen."
"Bah!" Although he didn't know what happened to his elder brother, Zhang Zishan felt that the other party was taking advantage of others.
"Qihai, Tianshu, Shenque, Taiyi, Shenzang, Xuanji, Yunmen, Tianjing, Hegu, these are the acupuncture points. No matter how I think about it, I feel that this qi movement route should be practiced by a girl. What are you practicing for?"
"You..." Zhang Zishan's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt confused and angry.
"Okay, since you talk a lot, let me ask you a few questions now. If you don't answer me properly, I will use your sword to poke a hole in your brother's body."
Butcher Hu asked Zhang Zishan the first question without waiting for any time to prepare.
"The 'Miss Liu' you came here to pick up must be Miss Liu from Jinguan City."
"You old thing is indeed eavesdropping."
Before he could see how Butcher Hu made his move, the Yin Yao Sword had already been inserted into Zhang Zizhen's thigh, causing Zhang Zizhen's whole body to tremble violently even though he was unconscious.
The coldness hidden between Butcher Hu's brows gradually became apparent, and he asked indifferently: "Just answer my question. If you say anything else, your brother will have a hole in his body."
"Okay! Just ask." Zhang Zishan looked at the scene just now, and his blood surged even more, but he could only endure it.
"Are you worshipers of the Liu family?"
"Hmph! You can't afford to mess with my brothers' backgrounds!" Zhang Zishan looked at the undisguised murderous intent in Butcher Hu's eyes and quickly added: "No, my brothers are from the Lin family in Xishan."
"The Lin family in Xishan?" The coldness in Butcher Hu's eyes froze.
