In Zhao Rucheng's mansion covering an area of nearly ten acres, two figures suddenly separated and reunited in the light of the sword.
Clang! !
Zhao Rucheng's hand shook and his sword flew away. Jiang Wang's long sword had stopped at his neck, looking at him with a smile but not a smile.
"It's amazing!" Zhao Rucheng was amazed, "What kind of swordsmanship is this?"
There is a slight gap between his and Jiang Wang's swordsmanship, but it's not too big. In the past, he would always win three or five out of ten sword fights, but today he had twenty fights in a row and failed to win a single one!
Jiang Wang smiled and sheathed his sword. This swordsmanship was indeed a mysterious method of entering the Tao through martial arts. There are nine exercises for training and five for killing. Now he has only mastered the four-style training method and one-style killing method, and his understanding of swordsmanship is far better than before.
He thought that his fighting ability was of a high standard, and if he encountered the demon who attacked that night again, he would definitely be able to fight.
"This swordsmanship was acquired by chance. It has no name. Rucheng, you are proficient in both civil and military arts. What do you think it should be called?"
Zhao Rucheng pondered for a moment, "This is the Emperor in the Sword, and his name is... Purple Qi is coming from the east."
"Purple Qi is coming from the east..." Something strange flashed across Jiang Wang's eyes, "What a name!"
At that moment, he seemed to see some majesty in Zhao Rucheng that he had never seen before.
But it was probably an illusion, because Zhao Rucheng picked up the fallen sword the next moment, jumped in front of Jiang Wang, still looking like a fool, and said with a playful smile: "Third brother, teach me!"
"Okay." Jiang Wang smiled brightly.
Both of them are mortal swordsman masters, so they will not understand the preciousness of Zi Qi Dong Lai Sword Technique. It is completely different from those martial arts that are spread in the world, but an extraordinary sword code that is enough to enter the Tao through martial arts.
Those powerful sword cultivators are not inferior to Taoist masters at all.
Such a sword canon is enough to cause a bloody storm in the world. But one of them wanted to learn calmly, and the other taught casually. It seems that this sword code is insignificant.
…
When Jiang Wang returned to the Taoist Temple, it was getting late.
Except when he has schoolwork, Zhao Rucheng usually doesn't stay in the Taoist temple, and he is quite a playboy.
He was pondering the secrets of the Zi Qi Dong Lai Sword Technique in his mind, so that when he walked to the door of the inner courtyard dormitory, he saw Li Jianqiu standing with his sword in his arms.
"What are you thinking about, so entranced?" Li Jianqiu seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Some swordsmanship issues." Jiang Wang answered calmly and asked, "Why are senior brothers Li here?"
"No wonder Junior Brother Jiang's swordsmanship is amazing." Li Jianqiu praised casually, and then said: "Master Dong asked you to go to his place after morning class tomorrow. I saw that you were not in the dormitory, so I waited."
"Ah, I have been at Rucheng's house all afternoon." Jiang Wang was a little embarrassed, "How dare you keep Brother Li waiting? Just leave a message for the waiter."
Inner sect disciples have dedicated personnel to serve them and provide food and clothing so that these Taoist seeds can concentrate on their cultivation.
"Since Master Dong has asked me to inform you, you can't do anything to others. I'm not a noble person. I'm not as noble as anyone else."
Jiang Wang lowered his head slightly, "My little brother is worried."
He was really worried, considering that Li Jianqiu was two terms ahead of him, and was one of the few people who stood out in that term. It is certain that he will go to Qinghe County Courtyard for further studies in the future. He is one of the few talents in the entire city courtyard.
But such a person stood waiting for him in front of the dormitory door without any impatience.
Li Jianqiu patted Jiang Wang on the shoulder, "I think Junior Brother Jiang's future is limitless, so don't be so divided."
After saying that, he turned and left.
…
A night of silence. Just after morning class on the second day, Jiang Wang went to Dong A's residence.
In addition to Li Jianqiu, there are two other people in the small courtyard, one of whom is also a senior, named Zhang Linchuan. Born in the Zhang family, one of the three major surnames in Maplewood City, he is vaguely one of the strongest among the disciples in the city, and he is quite famous.
He is not very handsome in appearance, but he is tall and has his own grace. The hangings on clothes are all exquisite and appropriate.
At this moment, he was standing in the courtyard, listening to what the people next to him were saying.
The other person left in the courtyard was actually Fang Heling.
Seeing Jiang Wang come in, he deliberately raised his voice, "Brother Zhang Shi! Yesterday, the hunter in my village sent me a pair of good bear paws. Tomorrow I will ask the chef of Wangyue Tower to tidy them up, and then we can taste them together." taste."
Zhang Linchuan smiled and nodded.
Fang Heling turned around and invited: "Senior Brother Li, go with us too!"
Li Jianqiu didn't care about him, just smiled and said, "I'll go when I have time."
Without waiting for Fang Heling to continue flattering, Li Jianqiu took a few steps toward the courtyard gate and asked, "Junior Brother Jiang is here?"
It was actually a special greeting.
Jiang Wang hurriedly took a few steps and greeted, "Sorry, I'm late."
He walked to Li Jianqiu and bowed his hands to Zhang Linchuan: "Hello, Senior Brother Zhang."
Only Fang Heling turned a blind eye.
"Hello to you too." Zhang Linchuan smiled and nodded, seemingly unaware of the undercurrent between Jiang Fang and the two.
But some people must highlight their existence.
"Hmph." Fang Heling snorted very abruptly, and then said angrily: "Master Dong had an order, and even Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Li came here early. I even didn't have time to go to morning classes, so I came as soon as I got up." I don’t know how virtuous and capable some people are, but they dare to let Master Dong and two senior brothers wait for him?"
Jiang Wang still ignored him and only hugged Li Jianqiu and Zhang Linchuan, "My little brother came here just after morning class. It is definitely not neglecting the teacher's orders. It's just morning class and evening class, chanting sutras and breathing. The bells in the morning and the drums in the evening don't dare to slack off for a moment. .”
Li Jianqiu patted Jiang Wang's shoulder again to show his closeness: "It doesn't matter, it's us who came early, not you who came late. There is indeed no room for slacking off on the path of spiritual practice. Although Senior Brother Zhang and I don't have to go to the Confucian Academy to chant with the junior brothers, But the morning lessons were also done in the room."
Fang Heling was even more annoyed, but with Li Jianqiu's stance, he did not dare to fan the flames any more.
At this moment, there was only a creaking sound, but it was Dong A who pushed the door open and walked out.
"Are they all here?" He looked around, not angry or proud.
The four of them all performed Taoist rituals, "Master Dong!"
Dong A waved his hands. He was a straightforward and resolute person who didn't like procrastination. He said calmly: "I have called you here today because I have a task for you. You should all know about the demon man attacking the outer courtyard and killing an outer disciple. . The Criminal Investigation Department has been investigating for so long, but there is no result. We don’t have to wait for others to deal with the matters of our City Taoist Court, we will just let you investigate this matter, and the merits will be calculated according to the eighth-level task standards."
Different from the outer missions, the inner missions start to be graded, and usually the grade is determined by the strongest combat power encountered in the mission. And the unit of measurement for rewards is no longer contribution, but Daoxun.
The difficulty is vastly different, and the rewards are naturally as vast as clouds and mud. Take the Pulse Opening Pill as an example. The outer sect's contribution points can only be exchanged for a certain amount of money, but Daoxun only needs one hundred points.
Of course, one hundred points of Daoxun are not easy to obtain.
Taking this time's attack on the outer courtyard by the demon from the Left Dao alone, the demon's strength was only within the ninth level. Dong A designated it as the eighth grade, which is obviously encouraging.
"Jiang Wangfang Heling is the only disciple in this class who has two visible channels. He needs to practice hard. Linchuan and Jianqiu, you have longer training time, so you can take your two junior brothers to investigate separately. The mission reward is 19 points. Whichever side finds it first will get 90%."
Zhang Linchuan and Li Jianqiu both bowed and said, "I will obey my master's orders."
Dong Ah waved his sleeves and went back home, obviously not intending to interfere in what happened next.
Zhang Linchuan obviously came prepared. He pondered for a moment and then said: "I have friends in the Criminal Investigation Department. There are two most useful clues about this demon attack. One is that before the demon attack, he stayed at Fulai Inn for three days. Ying Some clues are left behind. Another one is that a family in Tangshe Town was wiped out, and there was corpse aura left at the scene, which is somewhat similar to the demon who attacked our outer courtyard. Which path do you choose, Junior Brother Li?"
Li Jianqiu said: "This is Senior Brother Zhang's information. Naturally, it is up to Senior Brother Zhang to distribute it."
Zhang Linchuan was not surprised. If Li Jianqiu had some brains, he would not compete with him at this time. What he said was just going through the motions. He nodded immediately, "In this case, I will go to Tangshe Town, and Junior Brother Li will go to Fulai Inn."
Standing next to Zhang Linchuan, Fang Heling's eyes lit up, "With Senior Brother Zhang taking action, how can a mere evil demon hide away?"
After speaking, he glanced at Jiang Wang, feeling quite proud.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tangshe Town is more in line with the conditions for a demon to lurk, and the clues are clearer. In Fang Heling's view, he was going to take the lion's share of this first eighth-level mission.
At this time, Zhang Linchuan said to Li Jianqiu again: "Junior brother Li, how about I take Jiang Wang?"
Li Jianqiu said calmly, "That's fine."
In fact, everyone's previous positions had already defaulted to the split route. Jiang Wang and Li Jianqiu are familiar with each other, while Zhang Linchuan and Fang Heling are from the same three major surnames.
Although he didn't understand why Zhang Linchuan didn't choose Fang Heling, who had a closer family background and was more familiar to him, Jiang Wang didn't have the right to choose. He said politely: "Then I'll trouble Senior Brother Zhang."
Both Zhang Linchuan and Li Jianqiu were experienced and quickly assigned tasks and supplies that might be needed for the mission. Jiang Wang also consciously worked hard to help prepare.
Only Fang Heling was there, his face turning green and white.
He had some opinions that he wanted to express, but he couldn't say a word.
