Chapter 15: Retreat

It has been three days since he returned to the right peak, and the injury on Luo Banxia's left hand has basically healed, and his actions are no different from ordinary people. In the past few days, he has been careful not to be discovered by his master and senior sister, and even asked Sun Zhi and Xu Lei to help him when he was carrying water in the morning class, so as not to leave any sequelae. Fortunately, I haven't met my master and sister many times in the past few days, so no one has found out about him and Sun Zhi sneaking away to Zuo Shoufeng.

However, it has been a little difficult to fall asleep at night in Luo Banxia these days, and whenever it is quiet in the dead of night, that graceful and beautiful figure will appear in my mind. Luo Banxia couldn't help but shake his head vigorously, throwing these distracting thoughts out of his mind. Sometimes he would secretly run to the open space in the back mountain alone, watching the stars and the sea meditate and practice, and at this time, he would be open-minded, and there would not be so many idle thoughts.

On this day, in the temple of the rising sun. After the routine morning meeting once a day, Master Yan Yue left Luo Banxia, Sun Zhi, Xu Lei and two other senior brothers, a total of five people. Eight years have passed, and Master Yan Yue has also stepped into the age of the sixtieth year, but the years have not left any traces on her face, the same demeanor, except for a few more strands of gray hair on the sideburns to remind the old age, almost not much change from eight years ago.

Luo Banxia and the others were wondering about themselves, when Master Yanyue spoke, his voice was still the same cold and steady, without any fluctuations, "I left you here today to inform you about it." You have all recently reached the cultivation of the Earth Spirit Dao, so in a month, the Demon Suppression Illusion Realm will be opened in the Gate for you to go and collect the Demon Refining Treasure. Today I will also tell you some general information about the Demon Suppression Fantasy Realm, and you should listen carefully. ”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what this town demon illusion was. Sun Zhi was anxious, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Master, what is this Demon Illusion Realm for, and what does it mean to collect demon refining treasures?"

Master Yan Yue sat in the first place, and said without raising his head: "In ancient times, in addition to cultivating the true Dao, my Female Spirit Palace also shouldered an important responsibility, that is, to subdue demons and eliminate demons. For thousands of years, countless demons that have been subdued by female spirit disciples will be sealed in one place, and that is the Demon Suppression Illusion Realm. ”

Sun Zhi hurriedly answered excitedly: "I understand, does Master want us to go and use these monsters to practice and cultivate the Dao Law?"

Master Yan Yue glanced at him, and felt Master Yan Yue's gaze, Sun Zhi immediately stopped talking and stood up obediently. Master Yan Yue didn't answer him either, and said to himself: "Each of our female spirit palace disciples will have their own weapon magic weapon, and every good magic weapon will contain extremely powerful spiritual power. When you are still cultivating as the Dao of the world, you use wooden swords, and there is a rule in the Female Spirit Palace that when the disciple cultivates to reach the Dao of the Earth Spirit, he can enter the Demon Suppression Illusion Realm and hunt a monster to take its demon spirit to refine a magic weapon of his own. ”

The disciples were overjoyed, and having a magic weapon of their own would undoubtedly increase their strength, and in any case, it would be much better than the current wooden sword. Master Yan Yue continued: "And the demon spirits are also divided into strong and weak, and the more powerful the treasure refined by the demon spirit, the stronger the spiritual power will naturally be. The Demon Suppression Illusion Realm is divided into five layers, and there has always been a ban in the door, and the disciples can only kill the demons on the first and second floors, and after the third layer, they are not allowed to enter, because the demons after the third layer are all monstrous demon laws, and they are not what your current cultivation can deal with. ”

Everyone listened carefully, not daring to slack off, this was the first time they had heard the legend of the Demon Suppression Fantasy Realm, and they couldn't help but be a little nervous.

Master Yan Yue explained some matters that need to be paid attention to when entering the Demon Suppression Illusion Realm, and then said lightly: "After obtaining the demon spirit, you can hand it over to the sword casting workshop for smelting according to the situation of the demon spirit and your own preferences, our female spirit palace does not limit the form of the disciple's magic weapon, but most of the disciples are mainly sword-based." Moreover, the two world-famous swords 'Suyue' and 'Guiying' of our Women's Spirit Palace are also the result of refining the monstrous monsters that were killed in ancient times, and have been passed down to the present day for thousands of years. The Suyue Sword is also the sword of today's leader. ”

The five of them exclaimed in unison, and Luo Banxia was also very surprised. Previously, he had always thought that forging a sword was just smelting the divine iron immortals together, but he didn't expect that the sword casting in the Female Spirit Palace was so exquisite. In fact, this is also the case, the Female Spirit Palace has been passed down for thousands of years to have a unique set of sword-casting techniques, which also makes the weapons smelted from the Female Spirit Palace far more powerful than ordinary weapons.

Sun Zhi was a little curious, and asked in a low voice, "Then Master, who is using the Guiying Sword now?" ”

Master Yan Yue hesitated for a moment, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes, and only after a while did he reply, "It's your senior sister from Zhongzhu Peak." "Su Yue Guiying is originally a pair, since Senior Brother Master Yankong taught the Guiying Sword to 'her', the meaning is very obvious, and Master Yanyue can't help but think secretly.

The five of them discussed for a while, Luo Banxia Sun Zhi and Xu Lei were naturally the Golden Iron Triangle, discussing that they would act together in a month, and the other two senior brothers also agreed to hold together. Master Yan Yue continued to talk to everyone about the details of the Demon Suppression Fantasy Realm, until noon, before it ended.

Master Yanyue turned around and stood up, stood with his hands in his hands, and said lightly: "Okay, that's all I have to explain to you, if there is anything unclear, I will explain to you many times in the next period of time, today is over, everyone disperses to cultivate, and in a month, everyone will gather in front of the Zihua Hall of Zhongzhu Peak, and your Uncle Yanwu will take you into the illusion realm." He didn't wait for any answer, but went straight to the back hall.

Luo Banxia and the other five people bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "Yes, follow the master's teachings." ”

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

After learning that they were about to enter the Demon Suppression Fantasy Realm, everyone had been concentrating on cultivation for the past few days, preparing for the journey to the Illusion Realm in a month. On this day, it was fifteen again, and Luo Banxia was still like the past, quietly going to the back mountain in the middle of the night, and Xiao Kongqing had been waiting there for a long time.

Seeing Luo Banxia coming, Xiao Kongqing smiled slightly, his smile was still as warm and warm as the first time, which made people feel close.

To Luo Banxia's surprise, today Xiao Kongqing did not continue to teach him new exercises mantras, but with a move with his left hand, a blue bird composed of faint light and shadow appeared in the sky, and said to Luo Banxia: "Come, I'll test your body technique and catch it with a divine walk." ”

Luo Banxia looked at it fixedly, and saw that this blue bird was no different from ordinary birds, but it was composed of pure energy bodies. In a few flickers, he held the bird in his hand, floated to the ground, and said happily: "Brother Sister, I caught it."

She didn't answer, just looked at him with a smile. Luo Banxia suddenly felt that something was wrong, opened his palm, and saw that the bird had long since disappeared. Hearing the squeak, the back of the head hurt, and the blue bird appeared behind Luo Banxia and pecked him.

Luo Banxia felt slightly annoyed, he didn't believe that he couldn't catch a little bird with his spiritual cultivation at this moment, and his body flashed continuously, using the Divine Walking Technique to the extreme, and he saw a figure flying in mid-air, and the sound of breaking the air kept coming. But no matter how hard Luo Banxia tried, he couldn't catch this little bird transformed from energy, and there were several times when Luo Banxia thought he had caught it, but his hand was empty.

Luo Banxia couldn't help but smile bitterly, and at this time, she said in a clear voice: "Xiao Xia'er, your qualifications are excellent, most of this exercise has been taught to you in the past few years, and there is nothing new to teach you." But in terms of application, there is still some heat short, and then we have to think more and understand carefully. After speaking, Xiao Kongqing's body was long, and he also showed no trace. He deliberately constricted his internal force, and controlled the effect of the Divine Movement without a trace to be consistent with Luo Banxia, only to see that the exact same exercises, but the effect was completely different when applied in the hands of the two people. Between a few breaths, Xiao Kongqing fell to the ground, opened his palm, and the blue bird squeaked in his palm, lingered for a while, and then flew into the sky again.

Luo Banxia was slightly surprised, and hurriedly asked Xiao Kongqing: "Brother Xi, how did you do it." She patted him on the shoulder and said, "When using this kind of exercise, don't use your eyes to see, but use all your senses to feel the flow of energy in the air. The eyes are deceiving, and the transformation of energy is often the most real. ”

Xiao Kongqing told Luo Banxia about some of the techniques used, and Luo Banxia used them again, and there was a significant improvement compared to just now. When the night wind hits, I saw a person and a butterfly rising and falling in the open space of the mountain behind the right peak, as if dancing in the wind.

The moonlight is like water, swaying down, the sea surface is sparkling, reflecting the bright light and shadow, from time to time there are a few big fish jumping up in the sea, bringing out a string of splashes and quietly disappearing in the boundless night, the female spirit palace, or as quiet and peaceful as before.

Luo Banxia and Xiao Kongqing sat side by side on the edge of the clearing, their feet in the air, swaying slightly. Below is the sky, and the two of them are looking up at a bright moon. Xiao Kongqing's voice came faintly: "Xiao Xia'er, I will be practicing the exercises in retreat for the next few months, so you have to cultivate by yourself during this time." ”

Luo Banxia was slightly surprised: "Do you still need to retreat with the cultivation of Brother Concubine?"

She Kongqing smiled and said, "There are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, and Brother Ji also has things that need to be done." ”

Luo Banxia nodded, "I believe that Big Brother Auntie will definitely succeed." Also, although I am humble now, if there is a need for me in the future, I will definitely do it. ”

The light in the depths of her eyes flashed away, and she laughed heartily a few times and said, "Okay! ”

The two looked at each other and smiled. The night is deep, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
