1.

After the fission of heaven and earth for a thousand years, the four-story building, the ethereal city of the Sword Sect, and the sealed sword tower.

Ye Wuxin, the "sword idiot" who has been watching the position of the sect master of the Ethereal City for thousands of years, holds the famous sword "Huang Quan" in his hand, wearing a spotless white dress, his face is like still water, and his light steps fall lightly on the ninety-nine steps of the ladder in front of the tower, and he comes slowly.

In front of the Sealed Sword Tower, there is a stone altar, and a purple-shirted woman wearing a light veil stands in the center of the stone altar, standing with her eyes open, and the temperament that is as quiet as standing still on her body is exactly the same as Ye Wuxin. She was carrying a long sword box behind her, as if she felt that an outsider was approaching, and suddenly there were a few hideous sounds from the sword box, and the sword qi lingered, and she broke through the lid of the box, and the four long swords shot out violently, nailed in a row on the ground, just before Ye Wuxin took a step after reaching the top.

Ye Wuxin stood firm and said indifferently: "It's me." ”

Lan Ting, the guardian of the Sealed Sword Tower, opened his eyes and gently twisted a sword trick with his left hand. The four long swords nailed to the ground rose from the ground, flew back one after another under the summons of the sword technique, and collected themselves into the sword case. Lan Ting stepped forward slowly, bowed to Ye Wuxin, and said softly, "See the sect master." There was a hint of ethereal beauty in her voice, but her tone was so flat that it barely fluctuated.

Ye Wuxin nodded slightly, which was regarded as a return of the gift, and then walked straight forward. Lan Ting followed closely behind her, and the two of them walked into the Sealed Sword Tower together, and in the darkness, they walked along the roof of the building that circled up to the tower.

The Ethereal City Sealed Sword Tower is a place to worship the swords of the suzerains of the past dynasties, and those who are equipped with swords follow the suzerains who are chivalrous and ask, and they have overcome thorns and thorns, slashed demons and demons all their lives, and the sword body has naturally cultivated a heroic and righteous spirit. Therefore, this sword tower is the most sacred place in the entire Ethereal City, and the vast sword qi contained in it is even more unusual. If there is that kind of person with demonic thoughts who rashly enters the Sealing Sword Tower, he will definitely be oppressed to death by the "Haoran Sword Qi" in this tower!

Ye Wuxin asked as he walked upwards, "That sword...... How's it going?"

Lan Ting knew which sword she was talking about, so she responded lightly: "Back to the sect master, since the Sword Demon Lord sent it in to be reforged, that sword has been sealed on the top of this tower, immersed in the 'Haoran Sword Qi' to absorb the essence of sword intent, and has been raised for thousands of years. In the past few days, there have been some changes, I think it should be the gathering of the primordial gods, the spirit is being regenerated, and it is estimated that in some time, it will enter the transformation period. ”

"How long do you think it will take?" Ye Wuxin asked.

Lan Ting replied, "If nothing else, it will probably take seven seven hundred and forty-nine days." ”

Ye Wuxin frowned slightly and said, "Ma Wei's side has already recovered the lost Biluo Sword, and in a day or two, I will set off for the wasteland of the Far West, trying to open the boundary between the seven-story buildings." Isn't it too long to have seven seven forty-nine days, so there's no way to advance its transformation period?"

Lan Ting didn't answer Ye Wuxin's words directly, but asked from a different angle: "I don't know when you want to be in advance?"

Ye Wuxin stopped and turned his head to look at Lan Ting, his originally cold gaze was burning at this time: "If I can, I hope it will be in these two days." ”

"If you use the 'Spirit Gathering Array' on the Sword Sealing Pool, and pour a large amount of 'Haoran Sword Qi' from this tower into the sword, providing it with enough saturated aura, you may be able to generate a sword spirit within these two days. Lan Ting said lightly, "It's just that the spirit of this sword has been damaged, although I reforged it when I originally reforged it, but after all, it is still slightly flawed." I'm worried that if I introduce too much 'Haoran Sword Qi' at once, its corpse will not be able to withstand it, and if it is damaged again, there will be no possibility of repair. ”

As he spoke, the two of them had reached the top of the tower. I saw that there was an altar-sized sword sealing pool in the center of this top floor, and in that pool was a pool of water like condensation, and a red ancient sword was hanging on the water surface, which was emitting bursts of red light.

Ye Wuxin looked at the antique red long sword in front of him, and his heart suddenly had mixed feelings.

The seal on the hilt of the sword is engraved with inscriptions, and there are two small characters written in "tadpole script" - red dust!

Lan Ting turned his head to look at Ye Wuxin, who was in a trance, and didn't ask anything more, just said softly: "Sect Master?"

Ye Wuxin came back to his senses and said in a deep voice: "Let's start the battle, now the situation is urgent, and we can't delay for a moment, and we have no choice but to make dangerous moves now." Even if you gather your strength, I will protect the Dharma for you here. ”

Lan Ting nodded silently, she walked to the edge of the Sealing Sword Pool, sealed her hands at the same time, gathered her true qi to her fingertips, forced it out in a line, and drew a complex rune in mid-air. I saw her draw the last stroke lightly, and slapped her backhand on the ground with a mark. In an instant, the inky black water of the Sealing Sword Pool suddenly lit up with a bright light, and a huge magic circle spread out on the surface of the water, enveloping the Red Dust Sword into it. The "Haoran Sword Qi" that lingered in the Sealed Sword Pagoda suddenly flowed, like a whirlpool tornado, circling into the red dust sword in the center of the magic circle.

A black shadow suddenly flashed at the staircase leading to the top of the tower, and a young man in a black power suit swept by, obviously just seeing him at the staircase, he had already come to Ye Wuxin's side in the blink of an eye, protecting Ye Wuxin behind him, and his fingers were straight in front, and the sword qi on his fingertips was agitated, pointing directly at the magic circle on the sword sealing pool.

"Long wind, it's okay. Ye Wuxin gently put his palm on the young swordsman's shoulder and said indifferently. Hearing this, Changfeng retracted the momentum of his body, and the last moment it was like a murderous blade, but at this time, his momentum was reduced, and he was like an extremely well-behaved child, retreating behind Ye Wuxin, standing respectfully.

Lan Ting operated the "Spirit Gathering Array" on the Sealing Sword Pool, and his expression became more and more solemn. She was originally standing in one position and not moving, but at this time she began to circle around the edge of the magic circle, and her feet lightly stepped on the direction of Fu Xi's innate sixty-four hexagrams, twisting tricks or casting talismans from time to time, and filling one magic seal after another in the magic circle. The "Haoran Sword Qi" that gathered into the magic circle surged with the strengthening of the formation, and converged towards the spirit of the spirit sword. The Red Dust Sword trembled violently, and the red light wrapped around the sword became more and more dazzling, and there was a series of hideous and piercing sword sounds.

Lan Ting's face changed: "It's not good, the corpse may not be able to bear it!"

As soon as the words fell, he saw the white shadow flickering, Ye Wuxin jumped into the sword sealing pool, and made the body method of opening the "cold water play" swept over the water surface of the pool, came to the center of the magic circle, stretched out his hand, and pointed at the sword body of Hongchen, and the true qi suddenly burst out, flowing into the Hongchen sword with the convergence of "Haoran Sword Qi".

The next moment, only a "bang" was heard, and a wave of qi swayed on the Red Dust Sword, and the "Spirit Gathering Array" instantly collapsed. Ye Wuxin kicked up under his feet, and the whole person slid backwards and retreated to the shore of the pool. I saw a dazzling red light overflowing from the Hongchen sword, the sword body had disappeared, and a woman with a beautiful face and a graceful figure gradually revealed her figure in mid-air.

A dazzling red glow enveloped the woman and clinged to her naked body, turning into a bright red dress. The woman opened her eyes in the retraction of the sword qi, and the next moment, her figure rushed upwards in a flash, and the spirit sword body had been quietly held in her hand, and the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, and she killed Ye Wuxin with a sword.

The sword attendant behind Ye Wuxin, Chang Feng, suddenly moved, and had moved forward, his eyes were sharp, he did not wear a sword on his body, but simply pointed forward, and the sword qi naturally erupted, directly facing the tip of Hongchen's sword.

On the top of the tower, the two sword qi collided, and even the sword sealing pool, which was as flat as mirror water, also caused ripples layer after layer under the impact of these two forces. After one move, Hongchen and Changfeng took a few steps back at the same time, and each retreated to the two ends of the Sealed Sword Pool.

At the same time, three long swords had flown out of the sword box behind Lan Ting, intertwined and arranged, blocking between the two, and the fourth sword was held in her hand, resting on Hongchen's neck at this time.

"Ye Xin!" Hongchen gritted his teeth and spit out two words, his beautiful eyes full of anger.

Ye Wuxin looked indifferently at the red-clothed sword spirit in front of him, waved his hand and motioned for Lan Ting to put away the long sword in her hand, and said at the same time: "I was ashamed of you in the past, you want to seek revenge on me, I have nothing to say, and I will let you dispose of it." But if you want to save Lin Xiao, then come with me now, and the account between us can be settled later!"

The word "Lin Xiao" fell into Hongchen's ears, instantly overpowering her desire for revenge. She put away her long sword with her backhand and asked, "Lin Xiao, what's wrong with him?!"

Ye Wuxin smiled slightly: "Come with me, I'll take you to get to know the world of this 'Seven-Story Building' first!"

2.

Lin Xiao felt as if he was in an endless darkness.

Beneath his feet was a pitch-black water, and an equally black mist was constantly surging around him. He crouched down to see what the ink-like black water below was all about, when suddenly a tremendous force came from beneath the water, as if a large, invisible hand had reached out from the water, and grabbed him by the ankle, trying to pull him into the water.

Lin Xiao kept struggling, but found that he couldn't even exert a trace of strength, and in the blink of an eye, his lower body had been submerged in the water under the drag of that force. He waved his hands as if trying to grasp a life-saving straw, and suddenly, a hand as white as jade reached out from the water and grabbed his wrist, stopping his sinking momentum.

Lin Xiao looked up gratefully, only to see Hongchen clearing the black fog and squatting at the water's edge, holding a sword in one hand and grabbing his wrist in the other. He smiled, and was about to say something, but suddenly he saw a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of Hongchen's mouth, and the next moment, a thin long knife struck from behind him and pierced through Hongchen's heart. For a while, blood splattered, and the red dust turned into scattered red rays and disappeared.

"Don't!" Lin Xiao shouted, but the red dust had turned into a point of light and passed, and no one grabbed his wrist anymore. The force under the water suddenly increased a few points, dragging him into the abyss.

"Ahh

Lin Xiao screamed, waking up from the nightmare, he sat up from the bed suddenly, only to feel dizzy, a heart beating extremely fast, in this quiet environment, he could hear the heartbeat of "bang, bang, bang" echoing in his ears, as if he was about to break through his chest and jump out.

Before he could take that breath, the door of the room slammed, and someone kicked it open violently from the outside, which scared Lin Xiao so much that he couldn't help but be a spirit, and his heartbeat that finally slowed down instantly accelerated a lot. Immediately afterwards, the light on the ceiling was turned on, and by the light, a group of mermaids entered and circled neatly around his bed.

Lin Xiao wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, looked at the layout in the room, and then looked at Ye Wuxin, Hong Chen, Bai Yi, Ling Ying and Yunxiao in front of him wearing modern clothes, and a young man in black who didn't know where it came from, and then he realized that his second memory in the four-story building was over, and he returned to the original time and space of the three-story building at this moment.

Ye Wuxin sat against Lin Xiao at the head of the bed, reached out and held one of his hands, and slowly injected the true qi into his body from the "Lao Gong Acupoint" in the palm of his hand, helping him calm the slightly restless true qi that had just broken through the Quadruple Heaven. Now the "Eight Veins of the Strange Scriptures" in Lin Xiao's body have penetrated the four veins of Ren, Du, Chong, and Dai, and with the recovery of the memory in the second stage, the cultivation has also increased to a certain level. With the assistance of Ye Wuxin's true qi, Lin Xiao only felt that the originally chaotic aura in his body was following the momentum of Zhou Tian, gradually becoming more harmonious, and even the fifth vein was faintly showing signs of breakthrough.

Lin Xiao took out the hand that was not held and rubbed his sore and sore eyebrows, and at the same time thought about it carefully, his last impression before he fell into a coma seemed to be that he blocked Li Zhou's punch for Ye Wuxin, and then he was unconscious. Thinking of this, he moved his body slightly, only to feel that his whole body was sore, numb and painful, which should have been caused by lying on the bed for too long, but fortunately, there were no broken bones and tendons, so he asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

Bai Yi replied to him on the side: "It's about seven days." ”

"Hmm...... Seven days, I have indeed been lying long enough. Lin Xiao frowned and nodded, and thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to react to something, and suddenly his eyes widened: "Seven days?

Hong Chen stretched out his hand and pressed Lin Xiao, who was so excited that he straightened up, back on the bed, and said indifferently: "Calm down, the matter at the school has been dealt with." In the eyes of those teachers, you still have to return to school on time and sign in to class on time every day, so you don't have to worry about being deducted from your moral education points. ”

Lin Xiao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "How did you do it?" and then began to make up all kinds of weird scenes in his mind: "You guys...... Shouldn't I be carried to school to sign in for class every class?!"

"You think it's quite beautiful, the key is who is willing to carry you!" Hong Chen sighed angrily, "Some of the disciples of the Ethereal City and the Purple Sun Divine Sect have already come to the Triple Building one after another, so we found two people who are about the same size as the two of us, and let them wear the human skins/masks of the two of us to take classes instead of us." ”

Lin Xiao was dumbfounded, and only said after a while: "Lao Tzu has grown so big in this life, it's the first time I've heard of such a operation!"

Bai Yi said with a smile: "Then I'll let you open your eyes today, let me tell you that this is still a one-stop service that covers homework and notes!"

"That's a good dare, just help me write my graduation thesis together in the future, and save me a bunch of brain cells. Lin Xiao smiled, "By the way, what happened to Li Zhou? After I was injured and passed out, did he run away again?"

Ling Ying shook his head: "No, he is already under our control. That day, Changfeng shattered the witch mask on his face......" he said as he glanced at the strange black-clothed young man, "...... He's just like you all the time in a coma. Now he is lying in the guest room, and Li Jing stays by his side to take care of him. ”

Lin Xiao asked, "Have you found out what is wrong with him?"

Yunxiao replied, "The problem is with the witch mask on his face. That mask was the key to controlling his actions, and although the mask had now been shattered, the Gu worms contained in it were retained in Li Zhou's body, which was why he was unconscious until now. As for what kind of evil thing this Gu worm is, let her explain it to you......" said and gently pushed Bai Yi.

Bai Yi said: "This kind of Gu worm is called 'Cockroach Gu', it is a kind of witch Gu that has long been lost, and I only recognized it when I saw it in an ancient book by chance. Since the Gu itself is extremely rare and has been lost for thousands of years, the witchcraft used as a medium by this Gu worm is considered to be a Gu art that only exists in legends. ”

"This kind of Gu worm is usually placed on top of some kind of personal object, such as the mask on Li Zhou's face, I went to check the fragments of the mask, there is a small cavity in the place of the mouth, I guess that is where the Gu has stayed. The secretions it produces can affect the human nervous system, make the host unconscious, or produce auditory hallucinations, and make the host extremely aggressive and aggressive. ”

Lin Xiao asked, "Then now that the mask has been shattered by you, and the Gu worm has no place to stay, will it stay in Li Zhou's body for a long time?" ”

"Almost, but not quite. Bai Yi half agreed with him, "Even if we don't break the mask, the Gu worm will stay in Li Zhou's body for a long time." Its accommodation on the mask was only temporary, and when the mask was put on Li Zhou's face, the Gu had already entered his body through his mouth, and from that time on, the mask or anything had no effect. ”

"The most troublesome part is that the Gu will multiply in the host's body, and when the host's body is drained and died, they will re-burrow out of the host's body, attach to a certain place, wait for the next host to approach, and then parasitize the past in some way. Now that Li Zhou has entered his body, if he simply takes medicine to get rid of the original Gu worms, the worms born by the worms will continue to stay in his body and wait for an opportunity to make trouble, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Gu mother will not crawl back. ”

Ye Wuxin said: "So if you want to cure the problem, you have to find a way to kill the Gu mother and the insect cub in Li Zhou's body together." ”

Yunxiao frowned and said, "Does this method exist in the end?"

Bai Yi said: "It was mentioned in the ancient book I read before that there are two ways to get rid of the Gu Gu. One is to use parasitism, which is to find a new human body with vitality, and let the Gu worm crawl from the original host to the new host on its own. There is a second way, which is to find a poison called - Seven Heart Begonia. ”

"Seven Heart Begonias?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Why does this name sound so familiar to me......

"I know what you want to say, Jin Yong's "Flying Fox Gaiden" has mentioned it, but what appears in the novel is not necessarily not true. Bai Yi said, "The stamens of the Seven Heart Begonia are the most poisonous things in the world, and the juice of its stamens is fed to the host, and the toxins contained in it are the nemesis of the Gu Gu, which can kill all the Gu worms that burrow into the body." It's just ......"

"But what?" Ling Ying asked.

Bai Yi said in a deep voice: "The flower poison of the Seven Heart Begonia is indeed the only nemesis of the Gu Gu, but this toxin is much stronger than the toxin secreted by the Gu worms. Therefore, if you use the Seven Heart Begonia to treat Gu poison, it is equivalent to turning the Gu poison on your body directly into flower poison, and there is no problem such as offsetting. And it is precisely because the toxicity of the Seven Heart Begonia is extremely strong, so the user must ensure that the cultivation and physical fitness are good enough to protect the heart when the flower poison enters the body. Otherwise, when the Gu poison in your body is eliminated, the poison of the Seven Heart Begonia will also kill you!"

Lin Xiao said nonchalantly: "What kind of problem is this? Li Zhou has been practicing in the Quadruple Building for thousands of years, and with his current cultivation, he won't even be able to resist the toxicity of a flower." ”

Unexpectedly, Bai Yi shook his head: "If it is a light cultivation, Li Zhou will naturally be able to withstand the poison of this Seven Heart Begonia." However, after this flower poison enters the body, it will begin to spread from the inside out, so the external physical fitness should also be excellent. Li Zhou has been infested by Gu worms for a long time, and the true qi and Dan Yuan in his body have been greatly affected, making his current physical fitness much worse than before, so I am worried about ......"

"There's nothing to worry about, just use whatever you want. ”

A voice suddenly came from the door of the room, and everyone turned their heads to follow the voice, only to see Li Jing standing there, she had been almost sleepless by Li Zhou's side for the past few days, she hadn't slept a few times, she had eaten very little, and the whole person was so thin that she couldn't look like it, and her face, which was originally a little baby fat, has now become thin.

"It's better to be poisoned by the flower poison of the Seven Heart Begonia than to be tortured by that disgusting bug. My father is famous, and I would rather die in his sleep under the Seven Hearts Begonia than not rest when he dies. Li Jing said, her tone was very decisive and firm.

Bai Yi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't dare to make things too clear, just because she was afraid that Li Jing would object. Now that she has agreed to this treatment, she no longer has any worries, and said at the moment: "Since this is the case, then I will inquire about the whereabouts of the Seven Heart Begonia." This plant is extremely rare, and it is not known whether this triple building exists. I'll let you know when I get the exact news. Now it's all gone, let Lin Xiao have a good rest. ”

Everyone responded, and got up and left the room one after another, leaving only Ye Wuxin still holding Lin Xiao's hand to transmit true qi. When Hong Chen, who was at the end of the line, was about to close the door and go out, Lin Xiao suddenly spoke: "Hongchen!"

Hong Chen grabbed the doorknob and turned around: "What did you tell me to do?"

Lin Xiao looked at the familiar figure in front of him and said lightly: "You know in your heart who I am calling." As soon as the words fell, Ye Wuxin, who was beside him, suddenly stiffened all over.

Hong Chen—or rather Hongchen—smiled slightly and said, "No matter who you call, you're calling me anyway, right?!"

Lin Xiao's face didn't have the usual joking smile on his face: "Why didn't you tell me before?"

Hongchen blinked her smart eyes: "You've already guessed it yourself, do I still need to tell you? When you verify it yourself one day, isn't it more credible than what I told you at the time?"

Lin Xiao suddenly grinned: "I believe you have ghosts!"

Hongchen didn't speak again, leaving only a chuckle of unknown meaning, flashed out of the room, and closed the door with him.
