Ying Shan actually lied. It wasn't that he was invincible, but that he never wanted to fight the dragon from the beginning. After all, in his opinion, a mere piece of blood jade and a few people from the lower world were not worth the risk. This risk.
After hearing these words, the red-robed man not only did not feel the slightest bit angry, but was actually a bit calmer than before. He slowly closed the book in front of him, then stood up and walked to Yingshan who was kneeling on the ground.
Just a few gentle movements scared Yingshan to the point of breaking out in cold sweat. The deputy patriarch usually seemed kind-hearted and a very talkative old man, but in fact, he was murderous without blinking an eye. He still remembered twenty years ago. In that scene, the deputy chief personally chopped up a leader who had not completed his mission alive.
During the whole process, the man in red robe did not even frown, and the man who was chopped was cut more than three thousand times in a row. That miserable look is still deeply engraved in Yingshan's mind, because at that time Yingshan was the deputy of the man who was killed.
Just when Yingshan was sweating and thinking wildly, the man in red robe standing next to him suddenly patted his shoulder.
"If Zhang Miao dies, you will be fined one year's salary."
"Back off."
"Thank you... Mr. Patriarch." Yingshan trembled and walked out of the study room tremblingly. If someone had taken off his clothes, they would have discovered that half of his sleeves were soaked through.
…………
Three days passed in a hurry, and Yi Xifeng's body had recovered a lot. At least he could move around freely now, but it might still take some time before he fully recovered.
The fair-skinned young man walked down from the pavilion wearing a thin gown, and then stretched out. He had been living very peacefully these past few days. Yingshan and the three Zhang family members did not seem to be chasing them. Thinking about it carefully, maybe Those people thought they died in the cave.
Although the pavilion is close to the water, the water is too fast and too shallow. Not to mention small fish and shrimp, there are not even mosquitoes. Yi Xifeng walked to the water and gently washed his face, then turned around and looked around. Although it was It was his first time here, but he felt that the scenery here felt familiar to him.
Thinking about it, the fair young man suddenly slapped his forehead. He remembered that the book of landscape travels in the cave had recorded that the man wanted to build a pavilion here, but he remembered that the author of the book of landscapes and rivers just said It ends with two sentences of "What a pity, what a pity". So how did future generations know to build a pavilion here?
As for why he was recuperating in the pavilion, it was because Zhong Lingxi and the others wanted to find a place for him to recuperate after he fell into coma that day, and then they came across this pavilion on the way to find water.
Yi Xifeng released his soul with doubts, and searched carefully around the pavilion, and finally found a secret letter with a hint of true energy in the cracks in the eaves.
Yi Xifeng took down the secret letter with a slight jump. At this time, he was the only one in the pavilion. Nanfeng went to teach Zhong Lingxi how to practice swordsmanship, while Xizhou went to someone unknown. When Yi Xifeng opened the secret letter, A slight ripple of real energy appeared on his fingertips.
"Weidao, Kaitian...huh? What do you mean?"
As soon as Yi Xifeng finished speaking, he felt his fingertips feel hot. When he looked at it again, the letter actually burned on its own. In the blink of an eye, the letter turned into ashes and disappeared between heaven and earth. For a moment, the fair young man felt as if he had been tricked.
At this time, Zhong Lingxi and Nanfeng Sword Spirit, who had gone to practice, suddenly returned, a full two hours earlier than before. And judging from their nervous expressions and the speed at which they ran over, could it be...
"Are there any pursuers?"
Yi Xifeng frowned, and just as he was about to draw his sword and go over to support, he saw a ray of green light chasing after Zhong Lingxi, it was the little blue luan bird.
"What kind of tricks are you doing?"
While he was doubting, he saw a sudden burst of red mist emerging from the mountains in the distance, like an avalanche, rushing towards the pavilion. Now Yi Xifeng understood why Zhong Lingxi came back early.
"The blood mist is coming, hurry up!" Zhong Lingxi came to Yi Xifeng and urged anxiously.
After Yi Xifeng heard the news and quickly put on his clothes, he took the Hanxing Sword and Zhong Lingxi and ran towards the west. As for the Xizhou Sword, it was now in the hands of the Xizhou Sword Spirit.
Half an hour later, the three finally shook off the fog behind them.
"Phew, we are finally out of danger." Yi Xifeng said breathlessly. His physical body has not yet recovered, and his speed is not even as good as that of a small blue luan bird. Remembering that he almost died in the blood mist before, his nerves instantly became tense.
Zhong Lingxi saw that Yi Xifeng looked a little pale, so he took the initiative to do exercises to help relieve his pain.
At this time, the little blue luan bird fluttered its wings and landed on Zhong Lingxi's shoulder, seemingly holding an unknown small fish in its mouth.
Yi Xifeng just glanced at Xiao Qingluan but didn't say anything. This little guy only listened to Zhong Lingxi's words, and somehow, seniors Xizhou and Nanfeng were able to touch them, but the fair young man couldn't. Whenever he If he wanted to reach out and touch the wings of the little Qingluan, he would be pecked hard by the opponent. It was obvious that the little Qingluan was very resistant to him.
"Where is Xizhou? Why isn't he with you?" Nanfeng Sword Spirit asked with his eyebrows tightened.
"Senior Xizhou said he was going to 'catch fish', but I don't know where he went to catch it." As soon as Yi Xifeng finished speaking, he saw a figure in a brown robe flying from a distance, it was Xizhou Sword Spirit.
…………
Two days later, Yi Xifeng and the others arrived outside a small town. At this time, the fair-faced young man's injuries had almost recovered. In the past two days, he had been thinking about the letter. the content mentioned.
"Only Dao can open the sky...what does this sentence mean? And who left this sentence? Oh, it's so troublesome." Yi Xifeng thought about it for two days and couldn't figure it out, so he simply thought about it. I started thinking about how to open a cave in my body.
Although the Nine Yang Divine Demon Technique failed to open the cave, Yi Xifeng did not feel discouraged. He felt that this was not the fault of the technique, but the wrong method.
"In another way... Is it possible to rely on body training... to punch my Dantian?" Although he is now refining both body and Qi, and can use various fighting styles and moves when fighting the enemy, he always You can't really give yourself a punch.
Yi Xifeng also thought about using swordsmanship, but the "Thirteen Swords of Xifeng" also belonged to the category of Qi refining, so even if he used it, it would be of no use. As he thought about it, he thought of the phrase "Only Tao can open up the sky."
"Opening the cave...opening the sky...is there any connection between the two? Or does opening the sky mean opening the cave?"
As he spoke, Yi Xifeng slowly closed his eyes and began to sit cross-legged and meditate. Just as he was about to make any move, he heard soft footsteps coming from outside the door, as well as the chirping of several small green luan birds. He guessed I knew it was Zhong Lingxi who was back.
Yi Xifeng shook his head and put away his posture. He knew Zhong Lingxi's temperament and the other party would definitely stop him from opening the cave again.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later."
With a creaking sound, Zhong Lingxi gently opened the door. After entering, she poked her head outside to take a look. After making sure that no one was around, she slowly closed the door and walked to the side of the bed.
Since the last encounter in that remote town, Zhong Lingxi has become more cautious.
"Zhizhi, Zhizhi~"
Xiao Qingluan jumped off Zhong Lingxi's shoulder and landed on the bed. At this time, Yi Xifeng was lying on the corner of the bed with his eyes closed, pretending to sleep. He was just lying there when he suddenly felt a sensation on his left side. Half of his face was pecked by a sharp object, and he immediately felt extremely painful.
"You stinky bird, I won't roast you if I get the chance in the future!" Yi Xifeng endured the numbness and pain on his face and swore secretly in his heart.
The little Qingluan flapped its wings and pecked at Yi Xifeng's face, causing a small red spot to appear on his face. In the end, Zhong Lingxi took Qingluan away.
"Xiao Qing, you can't peck people randomly in the future, let alone disturb others' rest, do you understand?" Zhong Lingxi taught Xiao Qingluan while stroking the soft green feathers on his chest, but Xiao Qingluan just tilted his head and looked around. He didn't seem to understand.
…………
On Beiju Lu Peak, two Taoist priests, one old and one young, were still playing like the third old man, drinking tea, playing chess, and chatting.
It is the hot summer season recently, and the whole mountain is quite hot. However, the disciples of the Zhenwu Dao Hall are all cultivators. With a little exercise, a cool and comfortable wind can blow in the body, which is more comfortable than ordinary people who work hard on dry land. many.
However, the great elder Lu Zhanyuan was uncharacteristically different. Instead of being like the other disciples in the sect, he restrained his skills, got a cattail leaf fan from nowhere, and acted like a mortal.
"Click", the kid in Taoist robes shook the cattail leaf fan with one hand and dropped a white chess piece with the other. He looked very much like those wild Taoist priests who swindled and cheated in the streets and alleys all day long and made a living by fortune-telling.
"How long has the boy been in there?"
Zhuge Yuanlong was just about to make a move. After hearing this, he closed his eyes and made some calculations with his right hand. But at the moment he closed his eyes, Lu Zhanyuan turned the cattail leaf fan in his hand, and then a gust of cool wind blew by, and he saw the corner of the chessboard. I don't know when there was an extra sunspot.
"It will be one year in seven days."
"Well, it seems I have to go get ready."
After saying that, Lu Zhanyuan patted the dust on his butt with the cattail fan and was about to leave. At this time, Zhuge Yuanlong saw that he was about to win on the chessboard, so he stepped in front of the kid in Taoist robes.
"Elder Yuanlong, what are you..." Elder Lu frowned and looked puzzled.
"Ahem, cough, don't be in a hurry, it's not too late for the great elder to move after finishing this game." Of course Elder Yuanlong was embarrassed to say that he stopped the opponent because he was about to win.
Lu Zhanyuan laughed after hearing this and did not refuse. He sat back and said:
"So that's what happened. I thought you wanted to ask me for something. Elder Yuanlong, please."
…
A moment later, as a black stone on the chessboard turned into ashes, Zhuge Yuanlong's eyes widened with a shocked expression on his face. He had been looking at the opponent's white stone, but he did not expect that Lu Zhanyuan was playing black. There was some tampering with the chess game.
One bad move and the whole game is lost.
"Elder Lu, when did you commit fraud? Why did I never notice it?" Although Elder Yuanlong lost, he wanted to lose clearly.
The boy in Taoist robes laughed again, waving his cattail leaf fan and replied: "While you are counting the time."
After that, Lu Zhanyuan turned into a wisp of breeze and disappeared on Beiju Lu Peak, leaving Zhuge Yuanlong alone on the top of the mountain "blowing the wind".
…………
"Open the sky with Tao..." Yi Xifeng muttered to himself while sitting alone on the bed, while there were several white rays of light looming on the ground around him. This was a series of formations he had set up to better open up the cave. Law.
In the eyes of Yi Xifeng, an outsider, "Tao" is an illusory thing, but since he came to this world to practice, he found that "Tao" seems to be a real existence, but it does not seem to be, between existence and A special form that does not exist. The first time he came into contact with "Tao" was the "Tianyan Sword Tao" he learned with the help of Xizhou Sword in the secret realm of Sword Tomb.
"I don't know if my Tianyan Sword Dao counts as a Dao."
Yi Xifeng no longer thought about it. He took a deep breath, brought his index and middle fingers together, and then crossed them in front of his chest. He was used to using his true energy to activate his attacks. He was still the first to use "kendo" alone. Second-rate.
The white-skinned young man slowly closed his eyes. Although Tianyan Sword Dao is a kendo, its roots come from the laws of heaven and earth. It is slightly different from the rules of heaven and earth used in the heroic realm, but the difference is that the world Rules can be used directly to control the enemy, but Tianyan Sword Dao needs to be activated by true energy, otherwise it will not be manifest. Yi Xifeng also has a headache because of this.
Half an hour later, without resorting to the true essence of heaven and earth in his body, Yi Xifeng only condensed dozens of strands of "Taoist intention". These Taoist intentions were very light, like hair, and were not enough to open a cave.
After pondering for a long time, Yi Xifeng dispersed his "Taoist thoughts" and decided to put the matter aside for now. He walked to the window and looked towards the east. Although he was far away, he could still feel the monstrous blood. Fog, and the inn he is currently in is actually no longer the previous inn.
Somehow, the blood mist in this secret realm is spreading faster and faster. The blood mist that was clearly far away in the horizon can now spread here in less than two days. Its progress is as fast as a sandstorm in the desert.
Yi Xifeng sighed. At this time, Zhong Lingxi's footsteps sounded outside the door again. Yi Xifeng suddenly remembered that he had also arranged a barrier outside the door, so he immediately got off the bed, waved his hand, and cleared all the formations. After everyone dispersed, the door creaked open.
"Why do you think I'm having an affair?" The fair young man complained to himself in a rare comment.
"Ahem, you're back."
When Zhong Lingxi saw Yi Xifeng's eyes dodge, she knew without guessing that the other party was secretly "opening a cave" again, but she had no time to care about it at this time.
"Oh, bad news."
"The blood mist is coming soon again?" Bai Jingqing guessed.
Zhong Lingxi nodded when he heard this, looking a little helpless. (End of chapter)
