After returning to Flowing Stone Peak, Wei Shiqi settled down some trivial matters and began to make final preparations for seclusion.
The "Sword Technique" granted to him by Ruan Jing is quick. It does not take five years to practice the natal magical power, but it is unwise to rashly inhale the sword pill into the body without being able to recover it. Jiang Yongshou's Chilong bloodline is far better than He is rich and can transform into half human and half dragon. However, he cannot withstand the erosion of the metal energy. He thinks to himself that there is little chance of disaster, so he decides to practice the Taiyin Sea Swallowing Technique first. Even if he cannot achieve the "glazed", "vajra", and "iron sandalwood" ”, “Jade Crystal” and other magical bodies must at least strengthen the physical body to the extreme.
Before retreating, he intentionally asked to see the leader, but Qingming told him that the leader was also in retreat and could not be disturbed until the critical moment of Kunlun's life and death. Wei Shiqi had no choice but to retreat and seek the next best thing, asking Qingming for the Grimace Order. He stayed in the "Jade Sea" for half a month and read through the jade slips, but found very little. Whether it was the Taiyin Sea Swallowing Technique or the cultivation of natal magical powers, they were all useless. There are no collections of techniques passed down from the demon clan in Jade Sea.
His retreat to practice this time was related to a major event planned by the leader. Qingming did not dare to neglect it. He opened the door to convenience and personally selected a secret place for him. Even Wei Shiqi was kept in the dark beforehand. Show a little bit of confidence.
It was the twenty-first day of the first lunar month, and the top of Liushi Peak was covered with white snow and looked cold. Yu Yao leaned half of her body out of the long window and watched Wei Shiqi walking north on the plank road, leaving behind two lines of deep and shallow footprints.
At the end of her sight, she saw Qingming's little figure sitting on the railing, grabbing a ball of snow and stuffing it into her mouth, like an illusory shadow that would disappear at any moment.
Wei Shiqi met Qingming and chatted for a few words. The two walked north along the plank road, passed through Wuya Temple and entered the north wing. They passed by Haitian Pavilion and Zhuyin Pavilion and came to Qingming Pavilion. Under the warm winter sun, On the plaque, the two characters "Qing Ming" are flying like dragons and phoenixes, as if they are about to fly through the air.
Qingming did not stop, and led Wei Shiqi to the Qingming Pavilion. The layers of restrictions were suddenly separated, as if they were cut open by an invisible sword, unimpeded, the vitality of heaven and earth surged, and the restrictions closed layer by layer behind them. , restored to the original state, and blocked the way back. Wei Shiqi followed suit, not daring to take a single step wrong. The shadow cast behind Qingming became thicker and thicker, out of proportion to his small body. In a daze, Wei Shiqi felt that he was buried in his shadow and could never leave. into the bright sunshine.
Climbing the stairs to the end, unexpectedly, the highest level of Qingming Pavilion is just a three-sided attic with transparency, leaning against a cliff, overlooking the deep valley, with a radius of less than six feet, and it seemed a bit crowded for two people walking in.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Wei Shiqi felt vaguely dangerous, as if he was being spied on by a wild beast, and felt a little uneasy for a while.
Qingming smiled at him, then flicked out a sword energy with his finger, and mysteriously disappeared into the void, silently, at a point in the middle of the attic. Wei Shiqi's heart trembled, and he looked carefully at the place where the sword energy disappeared. He didn't see anything strange. Suddenly, his vision became blurry, as if the hot air on the desert distorted the scene. Three magic circles appeared out of thin air, and they all moved down. Falling, overlapping each other, connecting with each other, the brilliance flows, and instantly merges into a dazzling white light.
"Come in, don't panic, this is a teleportation array." Qingming walked to the center of the array and waved to him. Wei Shiqi suddenly woke up, hurriedly walked up to him, and waited with bated breath.
Qingming retracted his hands in his sleeves and made a sword gesture. The magic circle slowly rotated at an increasing speed. After a moment, there was a soft "buzz" sound, and the two men suddenly disappeared.
The world was spinning, and his vision blurred. Wei Shiqi found himself at the end of a corridor. The corridor extended forward and disappeared into the distance. It was about ten feet wide and three feet high. The top was slightly arched, and the four walls were made of gray-white stones. , of different sizes and shapes, they match each other extremely closely, leaving only a faint thin line. Mysterious runes float on the surface, and the light and shade change. On both sides of the corridor, there is a closed door every dozens of steps. The stone door is inscribed with the numbers of the stems and branches such as "Jiashen" and "Dingmao". The writing is carved with a sharp weapon, and the sword is drawn and sharp.
Qingming explained: "This is the secret room where the Sword Control Sect retreats and practices. Behind each stone door, there are countless stories and secrets. Historically, only core disciples who have practiced Qing Ming Jue to the realm of sword energy can enter here and seek opportunities. , try to break through again, you are the first exception in thousands of years."
He walked forward for more than a hundred feet and stopped in front of the stone chamber with the number "Gui Wei". He stretched out his hand to hold down the heavy stone door, his sleeves covering his fingers. Wei Shiqi heard a few rapid incantations and complained. The stone door is obscure and difficult to understand. A yellow light flashed through the stone door, and it slowly opened inward. The eyes were filled with white, as if covered with a thick veil, and nothing could be seen.
"Come in." Qingming turned sideways and greeted.
Wei Shiqi's heart skipped a few beats, and the premonition of danger became stronger and stronger. He hesitated for a moment and stepped into the stone chamber.
There are two completely different worlds inside and outside the stone gate. After passing through the thick gauze-like invisible barrier, a strong force of heaven and earth energy rushed towards his face. It was violent and raging, as sharp as a sword. Wei Shiqi's expression suddenly changed and he instinctively retreated. come out.
Qingming chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll see you later!" She reached out and pushed hard on his back, then closed the stone door.
