(Resume and update, guaranteed two chapters per day, a total of 10,000 words.) )
In the end, Mo Yan couldn't resist Elder Chen, and could only write that fierce character.
Talisman is different from other professions in that you can't demonstrate a talisman, and if you want to show a talisman, you have to go all out. For example, at this moment, after drawing a talisman, it was like having just experienced a big battle.
And after Elder Chen read this talisman, his whole person was completely stunned.
Mo Yan took off the flask at his waist, took a sip, and then coughed twice, and his face looked better.
Elder Chen was so excited that he couldn't calm down for a long time, so much so that he didn't know how to speak.
After a long time, he pulled Mo Yan and said, "If you go back from this experience, do you want to consider me coming here, I promise to cultivate you into the entire Tang Kingdom...... No, the most famous talisman in the entire Northern Desert. ”
Mo Yan raised his eyes to look at the old man in front of him, and before he could speak, the old man continued: "I know that you have been learning swords recently, but among the five major professions, the real power is actually the talisman master, don't think I'm scolding you, our dean is the best example." ”
Mo Yan nodded and said, "I know that once a talisman learner is successful, he will inevitably be above any profession. ”
Elder Chen was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "The Fu Dao is indeed complicated, and it requires super perseverance and determination, which is also the reason why the Fu Master is always not up or down in the cultivation world. But with your talent, coupled with my careful cultivation, over time, your achievements in the Fu Dao will definitely not be lower than that of the Dean. ”
Mo Yan smiled and saluted, "Thank you Elder Chen for your kindness, it's just that I don't have this idea for the time being." ”
Elder Chen frowned, and just as he was about to speak, Mo Yan continued: "My situation is different from others, no matter how poor the qualifications of other people are, as long as they work hard, they can always make further progress, and even if I have good talent and high understanding, if I don't solve my physical problems first, I can only stay below the class, and I may even ......."
He paused, and then continued: "So whether it's Fu Dao or Sword Dao, it's actually not what I need, as for whether I can become a strong person like Lord Dean, I haven't thought about it, and I don't dare to think about it." ”
After saying this, Mo Yan saluted Elder Chen again and walked towards Xia Hai's side.
Elder Chen looked at Mo Yan's back, his brows furrowed, and he sighed faintly after a long time......
Jian Jiu's injuries had improved a lot, and he was standing with Li Biyun at the moment, whispering something.
Yue Fangfei walked behind the two and opened her mouth, but hesitated.
Jian Jiu turned around and smiled, "Senior Sister Yue has something to say?"
Yue Fangfei nodded, glanced at Li Biyun, and then spoke: "I know that sword bone is of great help to Senior Brother, but I still want to ask Senior Brother to give it to me." ”
Li Biyun and Jian Jiu were both stunned.
Jian Jiu didn't speak, and Li Biyun asked, "What's the use of Senior Sister Yue with this sword bone?"
Before Yue Fangfei could answer, Jian Jiu said, "Senior Sister Yue wants to put this sword bone into Mo Yan's body to change his physical condition?"
Yue Fangfei nodded.
Jian Jiu groaned: "It's not that I'm reluctant to give up the sword bone, on the contrary, even if this sword bone is handed over to me, I won't ask for it, because this is my sword path." What I mean is that Mo Yan's root bones are not bad, his biggest problem is the meridians, and whether he succeeds or not, even if he really replaces the sword bone, it will not solve the problem of the meridians. ”
Yue Fangfei nodded and said: "I know this, I have seen a method in ancient books, which can temporarily seal the vitality in the bones, which has no effect on cultivation, but it can slow down the loss of vitality and allow him to live for a few more years." ”
Jian Jiu nodded, "I can give you the sword bone, but I hope Senior Sister Yue still thinks about it carefully, after all, Senior Sister Yue knows better than me what it means to fail in the event of failure." ”
Yue Fangfei nodded and did not speak.
After that, Li Biyun took out the sword bone and handed it to Yue Fangfei.
Jian Jiu continued: "The news of the dragon bone should have already spread, there are many strong people who covet the dragon bone, and there will even be forces other than humans, this experience will be much more difficult than imagined, so we can't take it lightly, and we must ensure that all students are brought back to the academy safely." ”
Li Biyun and Yue Fangfei nodded at the same time, and then left separately.
The next morning, when the students of the academy woke up, those ghost people were gone, and under the supervision of the elders and teachers in various places, all the students packed up their things and continued to walk east.
Leaving the Eagle Gorge to the east, although it is still yellow sand, the terrain has become extremely complicated, sometimes the Gobi cliffs, sometimes the ravines and deep valleys, because of the bypassing Maoer Mountain, so I could not see the spectacular scene of the two armies fighting, which made many students feel a little lost.
Walking for about two days, it is the famous Baishaping of the Tang Kingdom.
The reason why it is called Baishaping is not because the sand here is white, but because at night, when the moonlight is sprinkled on the sand, a faint layer of fluorescence will appear, like a thin veil covering the earth.
At this moment, the academy team stopped on a sand dune and looked at the sandy land in front of them, which was shrouded in moonlight.
Zhang Yi didn't know when he came to Mo Yan's side, and said in a low voice: "It is rumored that when you sleep on Baishaping, you will dream of beautiful fairies, and you will be undressed......"
Li Biyun glanced at him, "Let's wipe your saliva first." ”
Zhang Yi smiled.
Li Biyun looked at the sand in front of him and said, "It's just a rumor. ”
Zhang Yi continued: "A few years ago, this Baishaping was very lively, and many people came from far and wide just to sleep in Baishaping for one night and see the demeanor of that fairy. ”
Su Mingrui was puzzled: "But why is it desolate like this now, is there no so-called fairy?"
Jian Jiu didn't know when he stood behind everyone and said, "If there are any fairies I don't know, there are a lot of demons." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the calm sand began to surge, and from here, there were constantly sand dunes protruding, as if something was constantly crawling out of the sand......
Without waiting for everyone to react, Jian Jiu's figure had already disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, it was already above the sand, and he was already holding the three-foot sword in his hand.
At the same time, many elders also appeared in front of the students, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Under the instructions of the elders everywhere, all the students began to retreat, although there were many of them, but under the leadership of the teachers, there was no panic and crowding, and they retreated down the sand dunes in an orderly manner.
Because it was night, and many students didn't know what was going on, they were nervous and a little curious.
A student leaned close to Su Mingrui and asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, what happened?"
After he asked this sentence, all the students of Nanxi Sword Pavilion also looked at Su Mingrui.
Su Mingrui glanced at these people, shook his head and said, "I don't know much, but with the elders here, you don't have to worry." ”
One of the students nodded, "Yes, and Uncle Sword." ”
At this moment, there was a thunderous explosion on the other side of the dune, followed by a continuous rumbling sound, and the whole ground seemed to shake with it.
The instructors had heavy faces and said loudly: "All students continue to retreat, try to keep a good distance, and must not be separated. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, something rolled over the sand dunes, swept up the rolling yellow sand, and swept towards this side.
I don't know who exclaimed, "Youkai!"
Some students involuntarily turned around, and then they were directly frightened and couldn't take a step.
Immediately afterward, there was chaos in the crowd, and even if the instructors shouted loudly, it had no effect.
Mo Yan turned around, only to see that under the moonlight, a team was rushing from the sand dunes, mighty. When he saw this team clearly, he couldn't help but feel a storm in his heart, because it was not people who formed this team, or they were not quite people.
They have human heads, and they have hands, and they all hold weapons in their hands, but they have no feet in the second half of their lives, but like snakes, and those scales and armor exude the cold brilliance in the moonlight.
The team was extremely fast, and soon caught up with the team of the College, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, like a wave sweeping the beach.
A snake man came to Mo Yan in an instant, Mo Yan found that this guy was very big, almost twice as big as himself, the sickle-like weapon in his hand was raised, reflecting the light of Sen Han, and smashed directly towards Mo Yan, while revealing a bloodthirsty smile, and the two fangs exuded a cold glow like moonlight, which made people shudder.
Seeing that the huge scythe was about to split Mo Yan in half, a light suddenly appeared in front of Mo Yan's body, and then the snake man disappeared directly.
Jian Jiu held a long sword in his hand, stood in front of Mo Yan, and said coldly: "What kind of god, don't go quickly." ”
When Ken Jiu appeared, many of the students came to their senses and retreated while resisting the onslaught of the Serpent Army.
Li Biyun also appeared in the ranks of the Nanxi Sword Pavilion at this time, and said in a deep voice: "All the freshmen will withdraw first, and the rest will follow, and the students of the upper class will be cut behind." ”
Almost at the same time, the elders everywhere also issued the same order, but the snake army was so aggressive that the bad situation didn't get much better.
After Jian Jiu finished saying the previous sentence, the whole person brought up one afterimage after another, moving back and forth between the academy team and the snake man team, minimizing the pressure on the academy's side and giving the students a chance to evacuate.
Although Jian Jiu is strong, because the two sides are intertwined, they can't let go of their hands and feet at all, although they won't be injured in the rush, but they can't cause a large-scale kill to the other party.
The instructor who had explained the war to Mo Yan and the others before looked at the chaotic scene, shook his head, and then approached Jian Jiu while shouting, "Elder Jian, it's not okay to go on like this, it's too passive." ”
When he shouted like this, Jian Jiu slowed down his movements, and asked while waving the long sword in his hand, "What advice does Hu Jiaoxi have?"
As soon as Hu Jiaoxi was about to step forward, a snake man came directly towards him, but fortunately, a petite figure suddenly appeared and smashed the snake man into the yellow sand with a punch, so that the gray-haired old teacher did not die early.
After Qin Qin killed a snake man, he grinned at the old teacher, took a shadow, and disappeared into the chaotic crowd.
The old teacher who lived for the rest of his life after the catastrophe eased his mind before he said: "In such a large-scale fight, blindly retreating and avoiding will only kill more students, so it is better to organize the students, take the initiative to rush and kill, and take the initiative." ”
Jian Jiu said with a smile: "This is not a war, don't win or lose, what I want to do is to ensure the safety of students as much as possible, and try to bring as many students back to the academy as possible. ”
He slashed a snake man to death with a sword, and continued: "These are the students of the academy, not soldiers on the battlefield, they have not experienced such a battle, once they are really involved, they will not be able to exert their usual strength at all, plus it is night, and it is easy to be injured by mistake between students, which undoubtedly raises the danger by another level." ”
Hu Jiaoxi wanted to speak and stopped, and Jian Jiu said directly: "Hu Jiaoxi, let's evacuate with the students quickly." ”
With the joint efforts of Jian Jiu and many elders, the students of the academy and the army of snake people were forcibly separated, but after the impact of this big battle, coupled with the complex terrain behind Baishaping, in the process of escaping, many students were inevitably separated.
And many elders were also seriously injured in this sudden battle, and some of the elders with low strength even paid with their lives......
The moon is setting in the west, and the red sun is rising in the east.
A teacher sat on a snow-white tree trunk and gasped for breath. Not far away, many academy students also threw themselves on the ground, out of breath, all of them with gray faces, and Mo Yan was among them.
After a long time, Su Mingrui stood up, looked at the situation around him, and said, "It should be out of danger for the time being." ”
He looked at Mo Yan and asked, "Are you all okay?"
The remaining seven or eight students all nodded, and one student said with a crying voice, "Senior Brother Wang...... Senior Brother Wang......"
As soon as he spoke, he couldn't stop crying.
Su Mingrui exhaled, walked to the student's side, patted him on the shoulder after sitting down, didn't know how to comfort him for a while, and finally said: "Senior Brother Wang gave his life to save you, so you should be even stronger, work hard to cultivate, and don't let Senior Brother Wang die in vain." ”
The student looked at Su Mingrui with teary eyes and sobbed, "But I don't even dare to pick up Senior Brother Wang's sword, I ...... I'm useless, I might as well die at the hands of those monsters. ”
Su Mingrui said with a straight face: "Fang Zhiping, you remember, your life was saved by Wang Xiaoying, so you are not qualified to say death." ”
Fang Zhiping stopped crying, but his little face was full of grievances.
Mo Yan watched from the sidelines, with a heavy heart.
A sudden change caught the entire academy, including Jian Jiu, a little off guard, and Mo Yan also saw many students die under the impact of that snake army.
Mo Yan never thought that those fellow disciples who were talking and laughing with you last night would be gone in an instant, and it was the first time he felt that human life was so cheap.
Especially Wang Xiaoying in the mouths of the two, a good boy, a kendo genius who is expected to go far in kendo and is destined to see more beautiful scenery, but because of a freshman who has known him for less than two months, he resolutely died.
Mo Yan really couldn't understand why Wang Xiaoying made such a choice at that time.
Everyone was immersed in pain and sadness, and naturally no one answered Mo Yan.
The teacher was almost rested, got up and said: "Okay, pain and self-blame are the manifestations of the weak, this incident can be regarded as a wake-up call for you, let you realize the cruelty and reality of this world, if you want to survive in this world, you must become a strong person, because the weak are not even qualified to live, and will only affect the people around you." ”
After saying that, he looked around, then took out a map, and after looking at it for a long time, his brows were tightly intertwined again.
Because they have deviated from their original route at this moment, they have been more than thirty miles, and what is even more terrifying is that they are deviating to the south, and they may encounter the army of the Song State at any time.
The instructor put away the map and said loudly, "Now that we have separated from the team, the next road will only be more difficult, I hope everyone can cheer up, because we may encounter danger at any time, I can't promise to bring you all to Elder Sword, but I can guarantee that if I really want to die, I will die before you." ”
As soon as the words fell, an arrow fell from the sky, piercing the head of this teacher, and before people even had time to react, this teacher who had taught in the Boundless Academy for an unknown number of years said that he would die.
A team appeared on the hill on the left, and countless armor soldiers held crossbows to the people below.
Su Mingrui, who was the first to come back to his senses, stepped forward, holding the long sword that had no sheath, and stood in front of everyone.
A student spoke: "It's the army of the Song Kingdom, looking at the establishment, it should be a scout responsible for finding out intelligence." ”
Su Mingrui nodded and said, "Although the number of scouts is not large, they are well-trained and difficult to deal with. ”
Another student asked, "Have we identified ourselves?" Although the two countries are at war now, if the other side knows that we are students of the Boundless Academy, they will leave. ”
Su Mingrui shook his head, "I'm afraid it's useless, otherwise they wouldn't have shot Zhu Jiaoxi directly." ”
After speaking, he glanced at the same door behind him, and continued: "Except for Mo Yan and Fang Zhiping, who are freshmen, the rest are all eight-rank and nine-rank sword masters, so we are not without the strength to fight." Although these scouts are strong, they are not cultivators, as long as they find a way to disrupt their cooperation, they can fight their way out. ”
One of the students stepped forward and said, "I'll come first." ”
After speaking, he turned his wrist holding the long sword, and the long sword in his hand suddenly unfolded like a peacock opening the screen, and at the same time, his body also directly rushed towards the mountain on the left.
At the same time, countless arrows rained down.
Su Mingrui said in a deep voice: "Take care of yourself." ”
After saying that, he also followed closely with his long sword, and pushed away the arrows.
On the top of the mountain, the leader of this scout was obviously stunned, and as soon as he raised his hand, the cavalry quickly retreated, forming a semi-circular formation, and after Su Mingrui and the others went up the mountain, the two ends of this team quickly gathered and surrounded everyone in the center.
Looking at the same door surrounded in the center, Su Mingrui was full of bitterness.
Originally, I wanted to break up the opponent's formation, but I didn't want to wrap dumplings for the opponent......
Mo Yan and Fang Zhiping stood in the valley, and they could only see the dust and sand rolling on the mountain, and they couldn't see the specific situation clearly.
Fang Zhiping suddenly picked up his long sword, roared angrily, and rushed towards the mountain......
