Xuanyuan descended from the sect and moved to the back mountain.
At the top of the moon, the cold moonlight falls freely on a lush bamboo forest. The breeze blows, the bamboo leaves rustle, the bamboo shadows sway, the silver light seems to dance at the sound, and it is misty like falling into a dream.
In a small clearing in the forest, a young man in plain robes held a green wooden sword. His body and Bagua were as powerful as a swimming dragon. He extended the sword with hidden secrets and unpredictable changes.
His momentum changed, each move was fierce and fierce, the sword shadow was thick and murderous.
Its momentum changed again, its movements were like wind, the sword light was faint and erratic, and the space between the abbot and the abbot was full of sword shadows.
Suddenly, the young man stood up and sheathed his sword, concentrating his concentration. His sword was as majestic as a mountain, and he slashed out with his sword. A crescent moon seemed to rise in the forest, with silver light shining, and all the green bamboos within a foot of the sword light turned into fine powder. , Yinyue continued to castrate, and ran straight ten feet away.
A crystal ice shield appeared out of thin air to block the silver moon. In just one breath, the ice shield turned into fragments, followed by the second, third... and finally with a loud explosion, the sword energy and the seventh ice The shields perish together.
"Yuan Qing, you are cutting bamboo here again. You have tea sets and tables and chairs. What else do you want to do?" Zhu Ling'er walked over with a smile, stepping on the debris.
Hearing this, Yuan Qing put away his sword and asked, "Zhu Ling'er, why are you here?"
Zhu Ling'er rolled her eyes and said: "This is not far from the water pool. Of course I noticed the surge of spiritual pressure on your body earlier. Tell me, what is the crime for disturbing this fairy's Qingxiu?"
Yuan Qing chuckled: "Then I can only ask Fairy Zhu to condescend to move to the humble house. I still have some coarse tea. If you don't mind it, I should apologize." The tone was sinister, and the word "Zhu" was particularly emphasized.
Zhu Ling'er just pretended not to hear and replied in a pretentious manner: "Okay, this fairy hasn't had a cup of tea for a while, so let's go now."
Saying that, he didn't care about Yuan Qing and walked towards his Qingyuan Residence at the lead. Yuan Qing smiled, shook his head, and followed.
It has been two years since the competition.
In the past two years, Zhu Ling'er has already reached the eleventh level of Qi training, and her cultivation realm has become increasingly advanced.
In the Yuan and Qing Dynasties, they practiced even harder than in the past. Not only did they practice the "Taiyi Xuanmen Sword" and "Wuji Killing Sword" collected in the Sutra Pavilion, as well as the "Fufeng Sword Technique" and "Linyuan Sword Technique" passed down from their grandfather to the point of perfection, Realm, "Taibai Sword Sutra" also refines the ninth sword energy.
As soon as this ninth sword energy came out, it immediately merged with the other eight to form a sword embryo, but it was missing both sides of the blade and the middle sword spine, and the sword energy it emitted was even more powerful.
As for the Five Elements spell, after watching Jiang Shangzhen's several battles, Yuan Qing naturally tried it, but for some unknown reason he still couldn't get it right. Even after asking Senior Brother Jiang for advice several times, he still couldn't figure it out. On the other hand, the Light Body Technique was finally successfully used after dozens of failures.
Since the competition, Jiang Shangzhen has been going to Chuan Gong Pavilion almost every morning to answer questions for the junior disciples, and seems to enjoy it; Feng Xifeng and Zhao Feiyan successfully built the foundation after one and two months respectively, and were admitted to the Shangzong. .
Zhao Feiyan made a special trip to visit Jiang Shangzhen before leaving, and left an hour later with determination on her face.
Yuan Qing and Zhu Ling'er returned to Qingyuan Residence and sat down. Zhu Ling'er casually condensed a ball of water the size of a basin. The water flowed into the teapot below like a mountain spring without reducing the size of the water droplets. When the pot became full, he tapped it with his fingers. , the water flow stopped, and the water droplets turned into misty water vapor, which dispersed into the surrounding bamboo forest with a wave of his sleeves. Then he flicked his finger, and a little flame flew to the bottom of the pot. In a blink of an eye, the water had boiled, and Yuan Qing used the water to make tea skillfully.
Speaking of which, the old man packed a lot of good things into the package for Yuan Qing, including ten kilograms of Xingshen tea alone, as well as two bottles of Pei Yuan Dan and a copy of "Lin Yuan Sword Jue".
Yuan Qing had finished eating Pei Yuan Dan a year ago, and Xing Shen Cha and the two of them drank it almost every half month in the past two years, and there was only three or two kilograms left.
After drinking tea and sitting quietly for a while, Yuan Qing sighed: "I have mastered these four swordsmanships, but the four are fighting independently, and I always feel that something is missing and cannot be completed. The same is true for the Sword Art. I can vaguely touch something, but I can never find it. Enter through its door."
Zhu Ling'er thought for a moment and then said: "Yuan Qing, do you still remember the thunder technique used by Senior Brother Jiang during the competition?"
"Of course I remember."
"The five elements of magic work independently and gather together to create thunder. Have you ever asked Senior Brother Jiang about the key points?"
Yuan Qing shook his head and said: "That's not true. Ever since I knew that the art of magic was dead, I haven't asked Senior Brother Jiang for advice. Are you saying that the two have something in common?"
"It is said that stones from other mountains can attack jade, you might as well listen to it."
Early the next morning, Yuan Qing went to the Sutra Pavilion early and saw Jiang Shangzhen explaining the Mu Xing technique to a junior brother. He waited for a while and waited for the junior brother to leave before stepping forward to ask for advice.
"Junior brother Yuan, why are you here today? Senior brother can't do anything about your Five Elements magic." Jiang Shangzhen saw Yuan Qing and said with a smile before he could speak.
"Senior brother is joking. Yuan Qing is here not to ask about magic. I just want to ask senior brother about the changes in the thunder method. I wonder if senior brother can tell me?"
Jiang Shangzhen was quite surprised, but then he smiled heartily: "What's so difficult about this? Most of the junior brothers who came here are asking about this, so just listen."
Yuan Qing leaned forward slightly and listened attentively to what he said: "Thunder is caused by the changes of yin and yang and the five elements. Yin and yang are not clear, so the five elements are used to create and restrain the thunder that is punished by heaven. The way of creating and restraining is not static, just like the encounter of water and fire. When water is strong, fire will If the fire is extinguished, the water will dry up; and like a wood fire, if there is more firewood, the fire will not flourish, and if there is less firewood, the fire will not flourish. I use a little spiritual thought as a guide to mediate the qi of the five elements, and circulate endlessly through the path of mutual generation, and finally gather A trace of the true meaning of thunder, the true meaning feeds on the five qi, and finally obtains a thunder. Junior Brother Yuan, have you gained anything?"
Yuan Qing was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang, for clearing up the confusion."
After saying that, he said goodbye and left. After returning to the bamboo house, he immediately sat down cross-legged and kept repeating what Jiang Shangzhen said in his mind.
Two hours later, Yuan Qing had a flash of inspiration: "Use spiritual thoughts as a guide, use spiritual thoughts as a guide... The changes in the five elements need to be induced by spiritual thoughts! The sword technique cannot be perfected because it only has its shape but not its meaning!"
After clearly understanding this section, the young man's heart was agitated, and he could not help but start practicing Fufeng Sword Technique in his mind.
Different from the usual practice, in this drill, every move is very slow and clear. It seems that the whole set of swordsmanship is divided into one chop, one thrust, and one pick.
Twelve hours passed quickly. At this time, all the sword moves in Yuan Qing's mind disappeared, leaving only a sword light, like the wind and lingering clouds, and the sword energy was dense. At the same time, a faint silver glow appeared on his body, and the sword shape in his dantian The remaining embryo also slowly rotated.
Suddenly, Yuan Qing opened his eyes, and two rays of light flashed by. He stood up and walked outside the house. A person appeared three feet away with just a flash. In a few flashes, he entered the depths of the bamboo forest. Once the sword came out, the sword wind was invisible and invisible. Look, all the bamboo forest within three feet in front turned into flying debris, leaving only the stumps on the ground.
Yuan Qing closed his eyes and quietly felt the smoothness of the sword. For a long time, he returned to the bamboo house step by step, like drinking wine.
In the blink of an eye, two more springs and autumns passed. On this day, Yuan Qing was practicing swordsmanship in the house. Of the four swordsmanship, only the "Wuji Killing Sword" was not yet fully understood, and the sword energy in his body also increased.
This "Wuji Killing Sword" is extremely heavy-handed and its moves are cruel and deadly. Yuan Qing has been influenced by his grandfather and many Taoist classics since he was a child. He has a calm and detached temperament. Years of practicing swordsmanship has added some sharpness, but without killing, killing The way of cutting is rarely understood.
The young man was a little bored, so he got up and walked out aimlessly. Unknowingly, he arrived at the west side of the back mountain.
Different from the secluded bamboo forest pond in the east, there is a towering cliff cutting off the mountains on the west side. Many disciple caves are grottoes on this cliff. There are planks on the cliff that are only large enough for one person to pass, connected by iron cables. It winds and twists upwards, which is quite steep.
Yuan Qing looked at it twice and then turned around and went back, but came to Zhu Ling'er's room again and met Zhu Ling'er Shi Shiran coming out of the house.
"Yuan Qing, what are you doing in front of my room?"
"I was upset and I came out for a walk, but somehow I ended up here. What are you going to do?"
"I have just made some gains in practice, and I am about to go to the edge of the clear pool to try my magical powers."
After hearing this, Yuan Qing looked at Zhu Ling'er carefully, and couldn't help but feel bitter and even more depressed.
"You...you are already on the twelfth level?"
"Well, you just broke through not long ago. It seems that you are in trouble in your practice. Why are there still difficulties that our Yuan Da Sword Immortal can't overcome?" Zhu Ling'er asked as she led Yuan Qing towards the water pool.
"After I asked Senior Brother Jiang for advice, I concentrated on learning the sword. However, this "Wuji Killing Sword" is extremely murderous. I have never done anything to kill, and I have never tried to fight with you. I have never used all my strength to make a move. Just by relying on it." Trying to figure out the meaning of the sword based on the sword technique is no more than talking on paper, and it will be difficult to gain anything in the end."
When the two of them arrived at the pool, Zhu Ling'er suddenly said seriously: "Yuan Qing, let's have a fight. You and I will fight with all our strength, how about that?"
Yuan Qing looked at her in surprise after hearing this: "Zhu Ling'er, I'm not yet good at swordsmanship. If I make a mistake, I'm afraid I will hurt you."
"You and I have never tried our best. I also want to see how strong I am."
Yuan Qing pondered for a moment, and then said: "Then be careful. My sword energy is extremely lethal now. If you can't resist it, don't hold on."
Zhu Ling'er replied with a smile: "Why, can't I, a great master of the twelfth level, be able to do anything to a little monk of the ninth level? Let's see what the trick is!"
Before he finished speaking, a water droplet came over. The water droplets turned into arrow shapes in the air, and at the same time, a blue ribbon came to the ground like a poisonous snake.
Yuan Qing's figure moved and appeared three feet away. As soon as he showed his figure, several crystal ice blades emitted a dense cold air and attacked in front of him. The silk ribbon on the side also turned sharply and attacked his back.
In desperation, Yuan Qing warned: "Ling'er, be careful, I'm about to draw my sword."
After saying that, he took out the Lingmu Sword and swung it. The sword wind suddenly rose, and all the ice blades in front shattered. The sword wind continued and attacked Zhu Ling'er.
Then he sheathed his sword at his side, concentrated his mind, and when the ribbon was about to touch his sleeve, he stabbed out with his sword.
I saw a silver sword energy coming out of the abyss like a dragon, holding a ribbon in its mouth and rushing all the way to a distance of ten feet. The person moved and rushed towards Zhu Ling'er like a violent wind.
When Zhu Ling'er saw the sword wind approaching, she immediately gathered four thick water shields. Then the four shields merged into one, and a crystal clear water curtain stood in front of her.
The sword wind hit the water curtain and stirred up bursts of water, but it was still unable to break through.
At this time, Yuan Qing's figure appeared behind the water curtain, and layers of sword shadows came like a violent storm.
Zhu Ling'er hurriedly made a seal, and an ice shield immediately appeared behind her. The shield was densely covered with ice spikes. After the ice shield, a water shield appeared. The water flow turned into streams and flowed into the ice shield in front.
Ice shards flew, catching the shadow of the sword, and then turned around, and countless ice spikes rushed towards it like pear blossoms in a rainstorm, causing waves of cold air.
Yuan Qing retreated three feet, and then stepped forward to move the sword. The sword's power changed mysteriously, and a vague Tai Chi figure was formed on the tip of the sword.
The ice thorns struck, but as the sword's force flowed, they rushed towards Zhu Ling'er in the same direction. In the end, they were offset by each other, leaving only ice chips on the ground.
Yuan Qing was about to turn his attack when he saw Zhu Ling'er holding a water ball in his hand and saying with a smile on his face: "Yuan Qing, I was inspired by Senior Brother Jiang to practice this water and thunder technique after the twelfth level. You should be careful." .”
After saying that, he gently lifted the water ball and flew into the air. As Zhu Ling'er softly shouted "ji", the surface of the water ball became uneven, and finally stretched into a water-blue electric arc. With a thunder, it reached the top of Yuan Qing's head in the blink of an eye. , chopped down hard.
Yuan Qing was already depressed, and now he was even more irritated when he saw this water and thunder technique. He couldn't help but use the Wuji Killing Sword. He saw that he was swinging the sword one after another in an unpretentious way, but there were silver sword energy spurting out and hitting the water thunder. Above it, the sword energy connected from end to end formed a line of silver light.
The silver light was cut off, and the thunder was approaching step by step. At this moment, the young man suddenly sheathed his sword in front, gathered all the sword energy in his body, and swung the sword with all the negative emotions such as depression and irritability for many days.
The sword energy is like a rainbow, shaped like a crescent moon, swallowing light and energy all the way, and finally carrying thunder up to the sky.
There was a loud bang, and drizzle began to fall in the sky. The two of them stood quietly in the rain together. Zhu Ling'er looked at Yuan Qing, her eyes full of smiles.
Yuan Qing stared at the sky blankly, and he realized.
