After Li Ke left Zhuohua Mountain, he returned to the Xiangshui Town Inn. Everyone was surprised when they saw Li Ke returning.
However, Li Ke explained: "It was Shi Wei who was traveling with him who rescued him and escaped, and Shi Wei is now the husband-in-law of Zhuohua Mountain." He also told the waiter to bring the horse and leave Xiangshui Town.
The waiter brought Li Ke's white horse Haoyu, but asked Li Ke: "Master, where is the other horse?"
Li Ke thought for a moment, took out some silver from his pocket, handed it to the waiter, and said, "Just serve him well. Maybe one day, brother Shi Wei will come to pick it up." After that, he rode out of the city. go.
On Zhuohua Mountain, Shi Wei and Liu Lianhua both saw the letter left by Li Ke and were deeply moved. Liu Lianhua stared at those few lines for a long time, her heart filled with reluctance and regret, and a glimmer of hope for the future.
After this, Shi Wei decided to stay in Zhuohua to protect everyone. A few days later, he came to the Xiangshui Town Inn to retrieve the horse, returned to Zhuohua Mountain and lived a fairy life without ever going down the mountain.
Li Ke left the city and walked a long way to the northeast, but Liu Lianhua's appearance came to mind repeatedly, and he felt that he had let down his feelings and sighed all the way. Along the way, Li Ke ate dry food and wild fruits when he was hungry, drank from mountain springs and fine wine when he was thirsty, and slept at night in farmhouses or ruined temples, or on tree trunks or under overhanging rocks, feeling at ease and at ease.
Two days later, Li Ke came to a mountain. The mountain was as tall as a cloud, and the road was rugged and difficult to navigate. Li Ke looked at his white horse and knew that it would be difficult to cross, so he found a nearby house and took the white horse to the mountain. After changing some dry food and wine, we will climb the mountain.
After getting to know the mountain, I found out that the name of this mountain is Jianmen Mountain. The mountain is shaped like a sword and is so high that it is unreachable. Once you climb over this mountain, you are truly out of Nanchuan. This mountain blocks many communications between the north and the south.
Although Li Ke was good at martial arts, it was still difficult for him to climb the mountain. Although he had martial arts skills, he could not run or jump. He could only climb up carefully step by step. If he was not careful, he would fall into the abyss. Li Ke looked at everything behind him, knowing that after passing this mountain, he would be almost cut off from everything before, including the grandfather of Jinyang City and Liu Lianhua of Zhuohua Mountain. He reluctantly looked behind him a few more times. .
After a difficult climb, Li Ke finally reached the top of the mountain. There was a pavilion on the top of the mountain called the Sword Pavilion. According to legend, two swordsmen with superb swordsmanship met here in ancient times. Because both of them were very strong and refused to give way, they stood there A fight started here, and the battle lasted for several days and nights without a winner, so they built a pavilion here to protect themselves from the wind and rain. Until later, there was no winner. The two cherished each other and stopped fighting. After the two left, everyone in the world After hearing the origin of this pavilion, he named it Jiange.
Li Ke looked at the stone walls around the sword pavilion. He was surprised by the huge deep and shallow marks. Those groove marks seemed natural, but in fact they were sword marks. Now these marks actually exude a trace of simplicity. With the intention of the sword, Li Ke's mind suddenly recalled the scene of people fighting here, and every move was like a celestial being.
It was already dark, Li Ke stood in the sword pavilion, looking at the bright lights at the foot of the mountain in front of him, and then at the scattered lights at the foot of the mountain behind him, which further strengthened Li Ke's determination to go out. But tonight, I plan to rest in this sword pavilion and go down the mountain tomorrow.
Li Ke took out the dry food and wine bottle, took a few mouthfuls, and then fell asleep with great expectation.
Birds sing in the deep streams, and apes cry in the mountains. The bright moon shines on Jianmen Mountain, and everything looks so bright and clear. The mountain wind blows the grass and trees on the cliff from time to time, and each strand is like some sword intention slowly blowing into Li Ke's mind. In such an environment, Li Ke slept very relaxedly and soundly. He felt that it was much more comfortable than in a noisy and noisy environment. Li Ke rested his head on a strange stone and fell asleep after a while.
"Who is coming?" Suddenly a voice sounded in his head.
Li Ke suddenly started up and looked around, only to find that the surrounding environment seemed different from the sword pavilion. He saw mountains on all sides, and he was standing on a field surrounded by mountains. It looked like a practicing sword. The field was empty, with no one around. Li Ke was surprised, "Who is it? Who is talking?"
The voice suddenly sounded out of thin air: "I am the Sword Immortal Li Changgeng, who are you?"
Li Ke looked around and saw that there was still no one there, so he replied: "I am Li Ke, from Jinyang, Nanchuan."
At this time, a cloud of mist appeared at the foot of the mountain in the distance, gradually turning into an ethereal figure, slowly drifting towards Li Ke, stopping in front of Li Ke, and Li Ke hurriedly saluted.
I saw the shadow with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, white hair and long beard, wearing a Taoist robe, and holding an old wooden sword. However, this wooden sword looked very sword-like, which was extremely inconsistent with its appearance. The figure sighed in a long voice: "Three hundred years ago , someone finally entered here, and I have waited here for three hundred years in vain. Since you can come, you must have something unique about yourself, and it is also an opportunity for you. Otherwise, most people will rest on the stone I left behind. , and may not react with it.”
"Three hundred years ago, I and Pei Jianyi met here, and they sparred for days and nights without a winner. Later, they realized that there was no point in continuing, so they gave up and made peace. But I have a strong nature, so how could I give up so easily? After Pei Jian left, I stayed in this sword pavilion for several months. Looking at the sword marks on the stone wall and recalling every move I made at that time, I finally understood the three most powerful swords in the world and came up with new ideas. After Zhao Zhou, he happily went down the mountain to look for Pei Jianyi, but he could not be found for several years. Later, he heard that Pei Jianyi had offended the royal family in the capital and was beheaded by his whole family. Only one descendant wanted to It is a regret in my life that I have traveled all over the world and survived, so I came back here and left a fragment of my thoughts here. Firstly, it is to commemorate the battle with Pei Jianyi that year, and secondly, I hope to have a fate. With this inheritance, I will be able to compete with the descendants of the Pei family." The afterimage of the Sword Immortal said with regret.
Li Ke was very puzzled: "After listening to the senior's words, Li Ke had a partial understanding and felt sorry for the senior. However, the junior is still confused, where is this place? Why can I sense this stone?"
The figure stroked his long beard: "This is the Chang Geng Sword Field left by me. As for why it is you, I don't know, but it is fate. Since it is destined to be you, there is no need to worry."
Li Ke looked at the afterimage of Sword Immortal Li Changgeng in front of him, still in disbelief.
"Boy, calm down and concentrate, and be at peace with what you have come to. Today, I will teach you the three sword intentions that I have learned in my entire life. You must observe, remember, and understand them. If you can understand them all, what will happen in this world?" Those who wield the sword will bow their heads in front of you, and if you can build on this foundation and create new tricks, it will be even more so."
After hearing this, Li Ke was shocked and began to concentrate.
With a wave of the sleeve of the afterimage, Li Ke was ejected by an invisible force and landed firmly on the edge of the sword field.
"Listen carefully, the first sword I am going to teach you is called 'One Sword Comes from the Sun'. This sword is about speed. The sword energy is swung out like light and cannot be avoided. Wherever the sword energy hits, it will hit you." Just like the sun burns through, ordinary people are invincible." After saying that, the afterimage flew up into the air, like an immortal coming to earth, with his left hand pointing to the ground, his right hand bent, holding the sword in front of his chest, his eyes lightly closed, as if he were surrounded by Everything was still at this moment. Just when Li Ke was concentrating on understanding, the afterimage suddenly opened his eyes, and the hand holding the sword instantly waved down, and an unusually sharp sword intent poured down in the air, just like the sunlight breaking through the clouds. As if shining on the ground, between lightning and flint, the ground was divided into two pieces in the middle. The sword mark on the ground was more than ten feet long and several feet deep. The gap was flat and smooth, without any pause.
When Li Ke saw this shocking sword, he couldn't believe what he saw, and he couldn't even imagine that the first sword was so domineering. Then wouldn't the second and third swords be meant to destroy the world?
"Don't be distracted, look at the second sword! This second sword is called 'Flying Three Thousand Feet'. This sword focuses on the art of sword control, and your internal strength and thoughts. The cultivation of these two realms The higher you go, the more stable and farther the sword can fly. If you practice to the extreme, you can even kill people thousands of miles away." After Chang Geng finished speaking, he stood on the field and transferred his inner energy to the wooden sword, with the tip of the sword pointed at the ground. , raised his hand and threw it forward, and saw the sword flying out of the air. The moment it flew out, the sword body separated into hundreds of sword shadows. Wherever the thought went, it was invincible. Thousands of sword shadows were everywhere. The mountain flew back and forth, flying all around in a moment. Chang Geng's remnant image stretched out his hand, and the sword shadow turned back into its original form and returned to his hand. There was a sound like a mountain collapsing and the ground cracking around him. Li Ke raised his head and looked at All around, the rock cliffs and vegetation on the mountain were neatly cut off, and they all fell under the cliff.
"Look at my third sword. This sword is my ultimate sword. As soon as this sword comes out, the whole world bows its head. This sword is called 'Galaxy Falling Nine Heavens'. As the name suggests, tens of thousands of sword intentions fall down like the water of the Milky Way from the sky. , it stretches continuously, and wherever it goes, nothing can escape it. This sword talks about the endless feeling of oppression. When the sword falls, even the immortal will be subdued." Chang Geng's afterimage flew into the air again, but this time The sword flew higher than the first sword. The starting position this time was the same as the first sword, except that the first sword was swung downwards, but this sword was swung towards the sky. With just one sword, the vast sky was As if being torn apart, thousands of sword shadows poured down from the torn void. It was really like the water of the Tianhe River bursting its banks. It was majestic and endless. The momentum was overwhelming and it was difficult to suppress people. Breathing, all the sword shadows fell on the surrounding mountains, destroying the world in an instant. The four high mountains were razed to the ground in response, and they were even level with the training ground.
Chang Geng's afterimage slowly fell, looking at Li Ke's disbelief, he said: "Can you understand the meaning of my sword?"
Li Ke blinked, "Senior's swordsmanship is superb, like that of a celestial being. Although this junior has understood the moves, with his current cultivation level, he can only use three points of the first sword's strength, even if he tries hard, which is really shameful to say. , I’m afraid that I will live up to my senior’s wishes.”
"It doesn't matter. These three sword intentions are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Since you can use the first sword, it means that I have chosen the right person. The second and third swords are also fine, but they need time to settle. Chang Geng's residual image said as if a master was looking at his beloved disciple.
"In this case, junior Li Ke must practice diligently and let these three swords appear in this world in his lifetime. It will not be in vain to bury the name of the sword immortal of our ancestors." Li Ke responded.
The residual image of Chang Geng looked at Li Ke, nodded, and said: "Now that you have understood the moves and sword intent, I will pass on two more things to you. One is the 'Qinglian Qi Transformation Technique', which is a secret book for practicing internal strength. , as long as you practice to the third level, it is not difficult to use the second sword. If you practice to the seventh level, the highest level, you will be able to use these three swords with ease; the second is the 'Heart Drawing Technique', and this is the cultivation The secret of thoughts, there are only three levels of this heart-attracting technique, but each level can benefit you infinitely. When you practice it to the highest level, you can change the direction of things with just your thoughts. What's more, it's just three swords. As tyrannical as I am, It has only been cultivated to the second level. Both of these things have been sealed by me in the stone on which you rest your head. Since you have obtained my true inheritance, the prohibition imposed by me will be ineffective against you. You can break the stone and take it out."
"Old senior, how should I repay this kindness to this junior? I really deserve it." Li Ke continued.
"How can I repay you, old man? I have devoted all my life's efforts to you. Am I not worthy of the title of master?" Chang Geng's shadow looked at Li Ke.
When Li Ke was asked this question, he knelt down on the ground and said, "Master."
"You are quite cheerful and in line with my temperament. If so, I will accept you as my disciple. Come on, good disciple." Chang Geng's residual image was very satisfied.
"Thank you, Master." Li Ke stood up and looked at the afterimage, feeling very excited.
"Disciple, please don't forget your wish to be a master. If you meet a descendant of the Pei family, you will definitely be a master." Chang Geng's residual image said solemnly.
"Master, please remember this."
"Master! Master!..." Before Li Ke could finish his words, the afterimage disappeared. Li Ke woke up from his dream by shouting to his master.
After waking up, Li Ke looked at the surrounding environment. The bright moon was still bright, and he thought it was just a dream, but everything just now flashed back in his mind like a knife and an axe, and it didn't look like a dream.
Li Ke picked up the long sword and meditated for a moment, then walked out of the sword pavilion. Thinking back to the afterimage of "a sword coming from the sun", he jumped into the air and swung his sword with the luck of the afterimage. The sword intent was approaching the mountain. Go, just like in a dream, an obvious sword mark was instantly left on the mountain, but this sword mark was far different from that in the dream. It must have been that his internal strength was not enough to activate this shocking sword.
At this time, Li Ke was sure that this was not a dream, and that everything he had just experienced was real, so he turned his eyes to the stone that he used as a pillow, and walked up. The moment Li Ke stretched out his hand to touch it, the stone actually turned on its own. Lines cracked out and shattered in front of Li Ke's eyes. The 'Qinglian Qi Transformation Technique' and 'Heart Drawing Technique' also appeared out of the blue as the afterimage said. Li Ke held them in his hands as if he had found a treasure.
After being so excited, Li Ke calmed down and looked up at the bright Chang Geng star in the sky. He seemed to have seen the master who had just taught him sword skills. He did not look away for a long time, thinking over and over again in his mind the moves he had just made. , for fear that I would forget it accidentally, I silently recited in my heart the last wish that Master just told me, and secretly made up my mind to fulfill Master's wish.
Li Ke was so sleepy at this sudden opportunity that he opened the Qinglian Qi Transformation Technique in his hand and planned to start practicing from the first level. The first layer is for pregnant women to receive qi. The outline says: "The qi that circulates through the meridians is tied to the Dantian. The qi is used to conceive the child. The child is nourished with qi. It receives the power of heaven and earth and becomes the source of the majestic qi." Li Ke and Li Ke followed the outline. The first level of the cultivation method was circulated all over the body. The dantian was really hot and unbearable. If there was thousands of powers, it would spurt out. Li Ke did not dare to neglect and continued to circulate a few times. As expected, the true energy in the dantian was chaotic. It seems to have settled down, gathered together, and formed a seed that can absorb everything, full of vitality.
Li Ke felt the changes in his body, and felt that all the scattered true energy accumulated in his limbs and bones had returned to one point. As long as he continued to practice, the more the energy of heaven and earth was absorbed, the more true energy he would have.
In this way, Li Ke's first level has been completed. Li Ke knows that with his talent and the current speed of cultivation, it is not difficult to reach the third level. However, at this time, he still does not dare to rush for quick success and repeatedly runs the first level. layer to consolidate cultivation.
As the sky grew brighter, Li Ke stopped practicing, put away his secret book, and headed down the mountain to go to the mountains and seas that belonged to him. However, Li Ke was also curious about the results of this night's practice, so he flew into the air with his sword again, and used the sword again. Sure enough, this time the sword was much smoother than before, and the movement of the true energy was completely different from before. The sword intention is also more powerful and crisp. The sword intention falls on the side of the line drawn last night, and the length and depth of the sword mark are determined.
