Chapter 43: Down the Mountain! Destination: Oasis Forest
The seasons and months of this world are not clear enough, and the weather conditions show a kind of midsummer appearance, the weather becomes extremely hot with the passage of the sword practice days, and the willow leaf tips are full of lean and toned muscles, and they are exposed to the sun all day long, but their complexion is still the normal color, and there is no blackening at all.
Li Jianxian's mood was a little complicated, watching the rapid growth of his apprentice day by day, he had some ideas, he didn't know what to do, he had never taken an apprentice, let alone seen anyone who would have such a talented apprentice, Li Jianxian just wanted to be a sword cultivator who ate and waited for death, not a person with such a lofty goal as moving forward bravely and continuing to improve. Staying in Zhenjing Mountain is just to take care of the development of Zhenjing Mountain for the missing senior brother.
"Senior brother, senior brother, it would be good if you were here, I wouldn't worry about Xiao Yanagi's cultivation future. Li Jianxian stood by the window, looking at the willow leaf tips outside who had become more and more proficient in the sword technique of seeking the mountain, frowning but smiling, looking from near to far, and muttering.
The weather is very hot, come in every day willow leaf tips are bare-chested in front of the study building to practice swords, this study building does not know why no one came to visit, the study building is like a forgotten place, only the elders came to look for Li Jianxian, and in recent days, the elders have come more and more diligently, and keep communicating with Li Jianxian about something.
Liu Yeshao didn't have so much mind to care about the elders' affairs, he was only on the sword in his eyes, the speed and move matching of the mountain sword technique became faster and more skilled, with the help of the fast learning of the brain, he comprehended the sword technique so quickly, this sense of accomplishment was something he had never had, almost every day he could see his progress, every day was immersed in the joy of practicing the sword.
In terms of mentality, Liu Yeshao has almost reached the level of a sword immortal, but his ability is 108,000 miles behind.
The black leather paper was still flowing with white-gold, brush-like traces, and the wonderful effect also gave Liu Yejiao a great help in practicing swords from another aspect.
One afternoon in the middle of summer, when Liu Yeshao didn't know how many times he pulled out his sword, the sword spontaneously hummed, as if it was a cheerful tune, and the moment it was taken off from his waist, as if celebrating the joy of feeling the wind and the sun, that hum made Li Jianxian stand up excitedly, and walked to the door and watched Liu Yeshao perform the sword technique of seeking mountains with extremely fast and steady movements.
Then he used different moves to perform the sword technique of seeking mountains again.
It wasn't until the sword returned to his waist that the crisp sound sounded again, Li Jianxian couldn't hold it back, walked in front of Liu Yeshao, and said to him for the first time with an unconcealable excitement: "Disciple, your mountain-seeking sword technique has been completed." ”
"I never expected that your kendo talent would be so high, and it only took more than three months to complete all the moves of the mountain seeking sword technique, and you have also reached the level of Dacheng, can you hear the hum of the sword in your hand?" Li Jianxian's tone fluctuated greatly, and his expression became different from before, but there was a little more entanglement between his eyebrows.
"Master, I can feel that when I draw my sword and swing the Seeking Mountain Sword Technique, my sword seems to tell me that it is willing to do so. "This is the truth, Liu Yeshao felt emotions from a sword that had no life and spirituality, and every time he drew the sword recently, he could feel the cooperation and excitement of the sword.
Until this time, the sword body buzzed, and it was a can't help but cry out for happiness.
"Master, you seem to have something on your mind. "Liu Yeshao has become more flat even when he speaks now, and the sword technique of seeking mountains has not only had an impact on the sword and swordsmanship, but also on his character, and he has become more stable.
Liu Yeshao can feel the change in himself, because of this mountain-seeking sword technique, but the puzzle is that the master's mountain-seeking sword technique must be higher than him, but the master doesn't look stable at all.
"My disciple, your friend Gan Xuanning is missing. Li Jianxian's excited tone had become serious, "Not only him, but his group of people who went to experience it are all missing." ”
Liu Yeshao just frowned, but he didn't speak, but looked at Li Jianxian.
Li Jianxian saw that he didn't speak, so he continued: "It stands to reason that there has never been any problem in the place where they have experienced, and it has been the first place for newcomers to experience over the years, in the oasis forest, not far from our Zhenjing Mountain, and the forest is not big, this experience is not facing the human heart, but the independent survival ability in the wild." ”
"There are very few source beasts in the Oasis Forest, the meekness of the higher ranks, the incompetence of the lower ranks, the training of the Oasis Forest is only for those who have not even lived alone, the descendants of those who are high and high have come here to learn swords, they need to know the dangers of the world. ”
"It stands to reason that we all know Gan Xuanning's experience with you, he is also a very capable person, this time it is he and the crown prince of Beixiong Kingdom, Vasily, who led the team to the Oasis Forest, a total of twelve people, each of which is not simple, and it is almost sideways in the Oasis Forest. ”
"Elder Wen has come to me many times, he wants to see you, I stopped you, I see you practicing swords, every day seems to be in a very mysterious state, I am reluctant to break your state, these days you don't even think about tea and dinner, if it weren't for your sword and rules, I would almost think that you went mad. ”
"I didn't let Elder Wen see you, I hope you won't complain about me, and this time the oasis forest disappearance, I hope you don't get involved, the oasis where our Zhenjing Mountain is located, I'm afraid there will be chaos." Among the people of the Council of Elders, I am afraid that there are internal ghosts. The interior of this town mirror mountain, I'm afraid ......" didn't seem to be able to talk about it anymore, but he just shook his head, looked at Liu Yeshao's serious face but didn't say a word, and sighed.
"You still want to save your friend, right?" asked Li Jianxian.
Liu Yeshao nodded, looking into his eyes.
"Dispel your thoughts, you can't help him this time. Li Jianxian had a rare look of a teacher, and touched the head of the willow leaf, like a father touching his beloved child.
"Go back and rest. Li Jianxian waved his hand.
Liu Yeshao stopped talking, and walked back to the house in a daze as he looked at the tasks that appeared on his system panel.
"Task: Disobey the master's orders, find Gan Xuanning, come up with a plan, and solve the problem. ”
"Rewards: 50 Superpoints, 100 Superpoints, 200 Superpoints, 500 Superpoints. ”
Liu Yeshao looked at this rich reward and was stunned, this task seems to have four things, just disobeying the master's order, there are fifty super energy points that can be obtained, which can be described as a very huge reward, but what kind of crisis is behind the reward, Liu Yeshao knows that high rewards will never come in vain.
This ladder-like fourth-level reward, plus 850 super energy points, looks like the unlocking of the next ability is just around the corner, but is it really that easy?
"Is there any penalty for not completing the mission?" asked Willow Leaf Tree insurance, "death." "The voice of the system is cold and unforgiving.
Sitting on the edge of the bed and sighing, he picked up the black parchment, stared at the lines on it for a while, and on a whim, he pulled out the sword, compared it, and then wrapped the parchment paper around the hilt of the sword as a decoration, silently running the source qi in the body to his hand, and suddenly found that the effect of the parchment paper did not change, and the same enhanced the calmness of the mood.
After a brief wash, it was a bit of a ritual to go out on a mission, wearing a phantom garment, carrying a sword behind him, hanging a brocade bag around his waist, drinking some water, and taking a nap until he saw that his status bar had become perfect, and then he got up and went out.
There has always been a sense of ritual when going out on a mission, but now the purpose of the mission has changed, it used to be for world peace, and now it is for yourself.
Liu Yeshao left quietly from the courtyard, although he had no information about the Oasis Forest, but whether it was to save his friends from danger or complete the tasks necessary for his own advancement, he had no hesitation at this moment.
Li Jianxian didn't know when he stood by the window, his window was very strange, there was no light inside from the outside, nothing could be seen in the dark, but it was clear from the inside out, Li Jianxian smiled and watched Liu Yeshao's departure, shook his head, and sighed, but the apprentice's disobedience did not make him unhappy, but he said helplessly to the air: "Elder Wen, you are still a foot taller, this kid is really a master of righteousness, I have to follow, such a good seedling, it can't be broken!" Senior brother, if you can accept such a worry-free and sensible apprentice, you won't end up in today's class, and no one knows whether to live or die!"
When the last sentence was spoken, Li Jianxian was particularly disappointed, his senior brother had been missing for decades, and his whereabouts were still unknown.
Li Jianxian flicked at his feet, and his sword flew to his feet, carrying him into the air, and then the whole person disappeared into the air, and there was no shadow in sight.
Liu Yeshao knew that he had been followed by his master, he was now looking at the +50 super energy points written in his status bar, and he was happy, these fifty super energy points were too easy and comfortable to obtain, and the subsequent rescue of Gan Xuanning was just doubled in difficulty, it seems that it was a task set up by the system to speed up a wave of progress for himself.
Liu Yeshao was overjoyed, but what he didn't know was that the elders had gone to the Oasis Forest again and again to find the newcomer team with experience, and they didn't even see a shadow, and they didn't see anyone alive or dead, so Elder Wen asked Li Jianxian to come out of the mountain to help, but Li Jianxian watched the apprentice's rapid progress and enjoyed it, he was unwilling to get involved in these sect chores, let alone agree to go to a small place like the Oasis Forest to find someone.
He just wants to watch the rapid growth of the willow leaf tree, the willow leaf tree is immersed in his own world, why didn't Li Jianxian find some happiness to chat with in the boring life?
Elder Wen knew that if he told Liu Yeshao the news, Liu Yeshao would definitely go to find someone in a righteous anger, and then move away from the beloved master and go together, and this kind of large-scale accident of the disappearance of the disciple would be resolved. People are not as good as heaven, Liu Yeshao did not have the urge to go to the rescue after learning the news, because he could also see that this matter was not trivial, far from being something that a cultivator like him who was still begging for help could get involved, but the system arranged for him to understand!
The sword of the willow leaf tip was behind his back, and the leather paper wrapped around the hilt shimmered with white and gold light, like a faint lantern moving on the way down the mountain.
Li Jianxian looked like an immortal, he even lay down on the sword, and still flew by the sword following Liu Yeshao by himself.
