After the three of them returned to the Hefeng Residence, Zhou Yu saw that He Xian had not come back yet, so he pondered that he planned to take Shen Muzhi to other peaks for a spin, and his purpose was naturally to think about receiving Bo Li again.

After Shen Muzhi heard this, when he was thinking about how to refuse, Zhao He on the side probably felt that this matter was not appropriate, so he persuaded him: "Senior brother, the hour is not early, Senior Brother He should be coming soon, and the other peaks will go back in the future." ”

Zhou Yu also saw Shen Muzhi's embarrassment, and after listening to Zhao He's words, he nodded in agreement.

Before he could say a few words, He Xian really came.

When I entered the door and saw the pile of gifts on the table, I couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled: "It seems that it is a bumper harvest!"

"No!" Zhou Yu raised his chin with a proud expression.

After He Xian laughed and teased him, he took Shen Muzhi to say goodbye to Zhou Yu and Zhao He, and returned to Qingliang Peak.

After returning to the Peach Blossom Forest, He Xian put all those gifts in his room, and did not leave in a hurry, it seemed that he had something to say.

It just so happened that Shen Muzhi also had something he wanted to talk to him about.

He Xian opened his mouth first, and said thoughtfully: "When I was in Jinling, I originally planned to accept apprentices on behalf of the teacher and let you follow me. In this way, first, I can rest assured, and secondly, when Xuancheng comes in the future, you will also have company in Qingliangfeng. However, later Uncle Zhao proposed to accept you as an apprentice, firstly, for my consideration, worried that my acceptance of apprentices on behalf of the teacher would attract criticism in the door, and secondly, he also really wanted to accept you as an apprentice, so after thinking about it at that time, I decided to follow Uncle Zhao's decision. I didn't talk to you about these things before, and I was afraid that if you thought about it too much, there would be a burden in your heart, and I hope you can understand. ”

"Brother He Xian, I'll ......" Shen Muzhi wanted to say that he understood, and he didn't have any opinion on He Xian's decision.

It's just that as soon as the words were spoken, He Xian raised his hand to continue listening to him, and Shen Muzhi had no choice but to stop.

He Xian said again: "Now that you are a disciple of Zhengyang Peak, I discussed with your master before, and I think it is better for you to move to Zhengyang Peak to live, what do you think?"

"Everything is up to you. Shen Muzhi replied. Leaving here and moving to Zhengyang Peak may be a little reluctant. However, Shen Muzhi also understood that he was now a disciple of Zhengyang Peak, and it was not appropriate to continue to live like this with He Xian.

Because of his affairs, He Xian already had some conflicts with several elders on the peak, and he didn't want to cause him more trouble.

Moreover, Zhou Yu and Zhao He are both good, and if he moves over, he should be able to adapt to life over there quickly.

Therefore, he did not resist this decision.

He Xian probably also saw his disobedience, and the worry in his eyes couldn't help but be much less, and then said: "There is one more thing, that is, the empty mountain heart trick that you are practicing now. Although this mental method is okay, it is still worse than the Zhengyang Sword Technique inherited by Zhengyang Peak. Moreover, the Zhengyang Sword Technique has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is already very mature, and there are many experiences of predecessors that can be used for reference, which is very helpful for your future cultivation. And no one understands the empty mountain mind that you are practicing now, and there is no one who can provide you with useful experience to learn from, everything has to be explored by yourself, and this path of cultivation will be half the effort, and it will be a lot more difficult. Therefore, your master and I both think that it is better for you to correct the Yang Sword Technique. Your current realm is not high, and it is easy to renovate, so you don't have to suffer too much, and you don't waste much time to start over. Speaking of this, He Xian paused slightly, glanced at Shen Muzhi's expression, and saw that he seemed to be a little dazed in his expression, and then smiled helplessly, and said: "In this matter, we are just giving a suggestion, not forced." After all, it is not so easy to change the mind technique, although your current realm is not high, but it is not easy to break the existing laws in your body and start all over again. You can think about it slowly, and if you think about it and feel that you don't want to, it's okay. Although the empty mountain heart trick is worse than the Zhengyang sword technique, it is also okay, that is, in the future, you have to work harder by yourself, and others may not be able to help too much. ”

He Xian's words, although Shen Muzhi didn't know much about cultivation, he still understood it. He pondered for a moment and said, "Can you wait for Xuan Cheng to come here?" This empty mountain heart recipe was given to me by him, and I want to ask his opinion. ”

He Xian nodded: "No problem, it is also appropriate to ask him about this matter." He's supposed to be coming soon, too. As he spoke, he smiled slightly, and then suddenly reached out and handed out a wooden box, and said, "For you." ”

After Shen Mu was stunned, his heart couldn't help but be moved.

With He Xian, naturally he didn't need those polite excuses, and after reaching out to take it, he was about to say thank you, but He Xian stopped him with a smile: "You open the gift first, and I'll send you to Zhengyang Peak tomorrow." After saying that, he smiled gently at him again, and was ready to turn away.

Shen Muzhi remembered what he was going to say before, and hurriedly stopped him.

He Xian was surprised: "What's wrong?"

Shen Muzhi looked at He Xian, and the words came to his lips, but he was a little difficult to speak. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gave up, changed his mind, smiled at He Xian, and said, "Thank you, Brother He Xian." ”

He Xian smiled, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then turned around and left.

After Shen Muzhi watched him leave, the smile on his face gradually increased, and he was a little worried when he thought of the unspoken thing just now.

Although he used the fact that he had already had a marriage contract to fool him before, what if he mentioned it again in the future?

Moreover, he, the master, was going to marry him the first time they met, no matter how you look at it, it's a bit strange. It's as if he's not looking for an apprentice, he's looking for a son-in-law.

Of course, what I can't figure out is how he, the master, came up with the idea of bringing him and a fairy-like character like Miss Lin together?

He had a bunch of doubts in his heart, and he wanted to ask He Xian, but unfortunately this matter was really a little embarrassing, and he really couldn't say it.

Anyway, since you can't figure it out for a while, and you're embarrassed to ask, you can only keep it in your heart for the time being. In the future, if his master mentions it again, he will talk about it then.

Thinking about it, he stopped thinking about it, and turned his gaze to the pile of gifts on the table next to him. Looking at this pile of gifts, Shen Muzhi immediately thought of Zhou Yu's happy appearance before, and suddenly, his originally somewhat depressed mood improved a lot.

Opening gifts is a very happy thing.

Especially when this event is the beginning of the new life he is looking forward to, this sense of happiness will be even stronger.

Shen Muzhi was the first to open the wooden box given by He Xian.

The wooden box contained a jade wrench and a jade pendant. The appearance of the jade pendant is similar to the one He Xian gave him at the beginning, but there are many carvings on it, which is very exquisite. The jade wrench finger was smooth, the style was simple and atmospheric, Shen Muzhi tried it on his thumb, and it was slightly bigger.

These things naturally can't be ordinary things, but Shen Muzhi knows very little about anything related to cultivation, although he knows that these things are not ordinary, he doesn't know how to explore their functions for a while, so he can only put them aside for a while and wait to study them later.

Then, he took the largest wooden box given by Zhao Zhengguang.

As soon as the long wooden box was opened, Shen Muzhi's eyes lit up.

There is a long sword lying in the box, the shiny sword body, like a pool of autumn water, cold light, there is a kind of awe-inspiring beauty, people can't take their eyes off.

Shen Mu liked it at first sight.

If you look closely, you will find that the position of the sword body close to the hilt is engraved with two words, which are ancient texts.

He didn't know much about the ancient text, and he stared at it for a long time, but he still didn't recognize what those two words were, so it seemed that he could only wait to ask He Xian when he turned around.

After letting go of his curiosity about those two words, Shen Muzhi reached into the box and held the sword in his hand.

Although he had expected in his heart that this sword would naturally not be an ordinary sword, as soon as he started it, what happened was completely beyond his expectations.

A cold aura suddenly poured into his body through the palm of his hand, and the aura was so fierce that it was almost unstoppable, and in his body, it was rampant.

Shen Muzhi was caught off guard, and when he reacted, he hurriedly drove the spiritual power in the dantian to stop it, but found that his seemingly pure spiritual power was vulnerable in the face of this breath. In just a few moments, Shen Muzhi's spiritual power had been crushed by this aura, and in the meridians in his body, he fled in all directions, completely out of control. And Shen Muzhi's whole person also began to tremble, his face was pale, and cold sweat continued to grow on his forehead.

Just when he was completely immersed in his body and continued to fight hard with this fierce aura, He Xian's figure quietly appeared next to him, and after glancing at the long sword in the box, he couldn't help but change slightly.

Then, he looked at Shen Muzhi, and after a moment of hesitation, he decided not to make a move, and let Shen Muzhi continue to fight with that aura in his body.

It's just that he didn't leave just yet, but stayed by the side.

Not long after, Shen Muzhi suddenly shook his body, his originally pale face suddenly turned red, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out.

But he still didn't open his eyes, and the hand holding the long sword still didn't choose to let go.

He Xian on the side looked at him, although there was more worry in his eyes, he still didn't mean to make a move.

Time passed slowly.

The room was so quiet that you couldn't even hear the sound of breathing.

Shen Muzhi's condition is getting worse and worse. His face was as pale as paper, and blood was constantly spilling from the corners of his mouth.

The long sword in the box suddenly began to tremble, and it hummed one after another, both angry and arrogant.

But no matter how hard it struggled, the hand that clenched the hilt of the sword had no intention of letting go.

He Xian on the side frowned, and his eyes were already full of worry.

At this time, Shen Muzhi's body was already full of holes. The meridians that were originally well nourished by spiritual power were already full of holes, and those spiritual powers that had been beaten out of shape shrank in all corners, trembling.

And that white aura was outside the dantian, constantly circling, and from time to time it would bump into the dantian that was protected by Shen Muzhi's only little controllable spiritual power. Every time it hits, it will let the only remaining spiritual power dissipate some more. Soon, he couldn't even defend this last position.

Shen Muzhi has never been a person who is willing to fail, otherwise he would not have been able to rescue Shen Muping from Dayuan in the first place.

At this moment, seeing that this defeat was just around the corner, Shen Muyi gritted his teeth and was ruthless, seeing that when the aura hit again, he suddenly gathered the little spiritual energy scattered around the dantian in an instant.

Without the barrier of aura, that aura rushed into the dantian at once.

At this moment, Shen Muzhi's mind controlled the only remaining aura and slammed into the oncoming aura.

There was a loud bang on the ground, like a spring thunder exploding directly in his mind.

Shen Muzhi's whole body trembled violently, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out again, all of which fell on the long sword in the box.

Above the long sword, the cold light skyrocketed, but it disappeared in an instant.

He Xian, who was guarding the side, suddenly stepped forward, pointed at the center of his eyebrows, and the golden light flashed and disappeared.

In the dantian, there was chaos, and two microscopic shadows were scuffling and entangled in it, and from time to time they would crash into the surrounding dantian walls, and every impact would bring damage to the dantian.

Suddenly, a ball of golden light came from outside, but it did not directly participate in the entanglement of the two faint shadows, but carefully protected the surrounding dantian walls.

Inside the house, He Xian's expression was solemn, and his eyes were full of hesitation.

Naturally, he could take action to end this fight, but in this way, the fit between Shen Muzhi and this sword would inevitably be flawed, which would not be a good thing for Shen Muzhi's cultivation in the future. This kind of flaw may even directly deprive him of any possibility of stepping into the upper realm.

But if he doesn't make a move, the outcome of this battle is really unpredictable at present. Moreover, judging from the current situation, Shen Muzhi's chances of winning are not big. Once Shen Muzhi loses, not only will he not be able to become the master of this sword, but there will also be no possibility for him to enter the upper realm in the future, and even he may be too damaged because his mind is too damaged, and it will be difficult to even enter the middle realm.

With such a comparison, it seems that He Xian's current shot is the best.

However, as soon as He Xian thought of what Shen Muzhi had experienced in the previous months, a voice in his heart would shout at him: believe him!

So, do you trust him, or do you stop adventuring?

He Xian was very hesitant.

At this moment, another figure went straight through the prohibition of the peach blossom forest and appeared outside the door.

He Xian's heart moved, he turned his head to look, and when he saw the person who was walking in the door, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Don't make a move! let him come by himself!" Before He Xian could speak, the person who came in from outside the door took the lead in speaking.

When He Xian heard this, he had to suppress the impulse in his heart.

But he couldn't help but ask, "Why did you give him this sword?"

The corner of the person's mouth hooked, and he said lightly: "If he can't even surrender this sword, why should he be my disciple of Zhao Zhengguang?"

When He Xian heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied, and just wanted to speak, but he heard him say again: "He is going to marry the girl in the future, he has no strength, how can he protect that girl in the future?"

He Xian was taken aback, looking at Zhao Zhengguang in front of him, he even felt that he was having auditory hallucinations. "What did you just say?" He Xian asked in disbelief.

Zhao Zhengguang smiled at him and said, "What's the matter?"

He Xian was stunned again.

"I think he is quite suitable for the girl with the long tassel, what do you think?" Zhao Zhengguang looked at He Xian's stunned appearance, seemed to be in a good mood, and said again.

He Xian was stunned for a long time, before he finally settled down, looking at Zhao Zhengguang, he couldn't help frowning, dissatisfied and puzzled: "What are you doing here?"

As soon as his words fell, Shen Muzhi's eyes suddenly opened.

It's just that his eyes are blood-red.

In the peach blossom forest, a strong wind suddenly rose.

Countless spiritual qi were summoned and rushed towards Shen Muzhi frantically.

"Not good!" He Xian was angry and was about to make a move, but Zhao Zhengguang suddenly flashed beside him and held him down. "He's going to die!" He Xian was furious.

Zhao Zhengguang's expression was a little solemn, but he still replied undoubtedly: "Even if you don't believe in my vision, you should believe him!"

Believing him in three words, He Xian calmed down slightly.

But looking at Shen Muzhi's appearance, he was still worried.

It's just that Zhao Zhengguang is next to him, if he insists on not letting him make a move, he has no chance at all.

Anxious, angry, and powerless......

He Xian finally glanced at Zhao Zhengguang dissatisfied, then turned around and walked outside the door.

At this time, on Linqi Island, Lin Changying, who was dressed in a strong suit, was meditating in the forest outside the house.

Suddenly, dark clouds suddenly arrived in the otherwise sunny sky.

Immediately afterwards, in the calm mirror lake around him, big waves also set off.

Under the wave, a huge figure was writhing wildly, seemingly in pain.

Lin Changying sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly rushed to the lake.

As soon as she arrived at the lake, she found that there were several sword lights on the side of the main island rushing towards her, and she should have discovered something strange in the lake.

Lin Changying didn't want to meet these people, and after glancing at the surface of the lake with rising waves, he retreated back into the forest.

As soon as she left, the sword lights arrived nearby, hovered in the air, and after staring at the lake for a while, one of the sword lights turned around and flew back to the main island, and the other two sword lights fell down, pounced on the lake.

Just as these two sword lights were about to approach the surface of the lake, a monstrous wave suddenly rose off and rushed straight towards the two of them.

In the middle of the waves, a huge figure was writhing wildly, with round eyes, as big as copper bells, but there was no ferocity in them, full of pain.

The two sword lights that were hit by the big waves were instantly knocked into the lake. Before they could adjust their shape, the huge figure also fell into the lake, pressing towards the two of them.

Before the two could react, they were knocked out by the huge water pressure.

At this moment, the behemoth suddenly opened its mouth, and was about to swallow the two people in its mouth, when suddenly a red light rushed out of its mouth, violently breaking through the water waves, rushing to the sky, and heading straight for the main island.

Lin Changying, who retreated into the forest, had not yet had time to go far, so it happened that this scene was completely in her eyes, and after a little hesitation, she still left the mountain forest and plunged into the lake.

At that time, the entire Great Sword Gate was alarmed by the movement in the Mirror Lake.

Before Lin Changying could rescue the two of them from the water, several sword lights came together. At this time, the lake was not yet calm, and the behemoth was still making waves in the water.

After the people in those few sword lights saw it, they joined forces to suppress it, and in less than a moment, the big thing that had eaten a few swords seemed to wake up, and after letting out a loud roar, its body gradually sank to the bottom of the water.

Without the agitation of the big things, the surface of the lake gradually calmed down. The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the bright sun sprinkled again, and the lake with ripples still rippled with pieces of golden light.

In the air, several people landed on the edge of the lake.

One of them was the person who had gone back to report the news before, and when he looked around, he didn't see the two people left before, and his brows furrowed.

"Elder Hu, what's wrong?" a person next to him noticed that his expression was wrong, so he asked.

"Elder Zhang and Elder Lu are gone. Elder Hu replied as he searched his surroundings.

When the person next to him heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then said, "Could it be that you also went back to report the news?"

Elder Hu shook his head: "Unlikely." Besides, if we go back and report the news, we should be able to meet it!"

As soon as these words came out, the other people suddenly changed color slightly.

"Isn't there going to be an accident?" said one of them softly.

As soon as the words fell, the rest of the people looked at the lake.

"I'll go down and look for it. The person who asked Elder Hu just now, after speaking, prepared to enter the lake.

At this moment, a head suddenly popped up on the surface of the lake not far away.

Several people heard the movement, looked at it fixedly, and then all frowned slightly.

"Why is she in the lake?" someone muttered in a deep voice.

"Wait for her to come up. Elder Hu's slightly narrowed eyes showed a faint look.

When the rest of the people heard this, they all resisted their eagerness, waited quietly for the people in the lake, and slowly leaned towards the shore.

After a while, Elder Hu and the others all saw it, and Lin Changying in the lake seemed to be dragging the two of them.

One of them couldn't bear it anymore, so he rushed over and helped Lin Changying to carry the two to the lake.

Without waiting for Lin Changying to take a breath, Elder Hu suddenly stepped forward and asked sharply, "Lin Changying, what's going on?"

Lin Changying glanced at him, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, but after wiping a handful of water on his face, he replied lightly: "The two of them fell into the water." ”

"Overboard?" Elder Hu's eyes narrowed, and a mocking look appeared on his face: "Could it be that Elder Zhang and Elder Lu are both three-year-olds?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the rest of the people, who were originally quite peaceful, all became weird.

"What do you mean!" Lin Changying naturally heard the meaning of Elder Hu's words, and his face turned cold at the moment, and he asked in a cold voice.

"What do I mean?" Elder Hu snorted coldly, "That's how you talk to your elders?"

Lin Changying didn't want to entangle with this person more, so she turned around and wanted to leave.

But Elder Hu was unwilling to agree, and as soon as his feet moved, he stopped in front of Lin Changying: "If you don't make this matter clear today, you won't want to leave!"

Lin Changying glared at him angrily, his hands hanging by his side were clenched tightly, and he couldn't wait to swing his fist over immediately, shattering this hateful face!

The few people next to him actually probably knew the grudge between this Elder Hu and Lin Changying, and seeing that this Lin girl might not be able to suppress her anger, someone came over and persuaded him: "Elder Hu, Elder Zhang and Elder Lu are in a coma now, let's go back first." It's never too late to talk about the rest!"

Elder Hu pursed his lips and did not make a sound.

At this time, another person came up to persuade: "Otherwise, Miss Lin, you will go to Zhengyang Peak with me and Elder Hu, and tell me about today's matter, if it has nothing to do with you, you can come back immediately, what do you think?"

Lin Changying took a deep breath, withdrew her gaze from waiting for Elder Hu, nodded, and said, "Okay!"

"Okay, let's go. As the man spoke, he said to Elder Hu again, "Elder Hu, let's talk about everything to Zhengyang Peak." ”

Elder Hu's eyes moved slightly, and he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but at this time, there were many people, and he couldn't blatantly treat Lin Changying, so he could only use this arrangement.

The rest of the people were slightly relieved when they saw him loosen their mouths.

Then, the group quickly left Linqi Island, and several sword lights flew towards the direction of the main island.

At this time, the red light that rushed out of the Mirror Lake before was surrounded by several sword lights above the main island, and it was impossible to advance or retreat.

The red light was restless, and in the encirclement, he rushed around, but he could never break through the encirclement.
