Chapter 30: The Trial of Sword Qi
For seven days in a row, Qi Yu and Xia Ruoshui were both fighting with sword qi in the Thousand Winds Mansion, and the comprehension Qi Yu gained from his drunkard master also benefited her a lot.
"It's time to go. Xia Ruoshui looked at the sky of Zhaoyang City, with inexplicable emotions in his heart.
Qi Yu was still holding a branch and wielding his sword in the courtyard.
Xia Ruoshui looked at the branch and said, "Shouldn't you just take this branch and accompany me to the trial." ”
Qi Yu nodded, "I'm just going to take a look, and whatever I take is the same for me." ”
Xia Ruoshui said with a smile: "Yes, anyway, you don't have to compete for rankings, you can take anything." ”
"Ranking?" Qi Yu was a little curious.
Xia Ruoshui didn't explain, just pulled Qi Yu's sleeves and walked out of the courtyard, "You'll know when you go." ”
......
Zhaoyang City, Sword Qi Square.
Xia Ruoshui, Xiao Cui, and Qi Yu came to the Sword Qi Square.
When Qi Yu first came to this sword qi square, he was resolutely shocked by the scene in front of him.
The Sword Qi Square is very large, it doesn't look like a square at all, it's more like a small city.
In the square, all kinds of sword qi are permeated, swords are vertical and horizontal, some sword qi is sent by the monks in the square, and some are always in the square.
Qi Yu followed Xia Ruoshui all the way to the interior of the square, and the deeper he walked, the more he was able to receive the mighty sword aura emanating from the square.
Xia Ruoshui said as he walked: "The Sword Qi Square has existed for thousands of years, and there are countless geniuses who have come here to hone their sword qi when they were young, and even left their own sword qi for future generations to understand. ”
Qi Yu listened to Xia Ruoshui's explanation, and continued to feel the sword qi coming from the deepest part of the square, which was very powerful and made him very excited.
Xia Ruoshui stopped, and they came to the deepest part of the Sword Qi Square, which could be called a real square!
In the inner square, there are 200 stone pillars, 100 on the left and right, scattered in a circle, the lower the outermost circle, the higher the innermost circle, and the left one is higher than the right one.
Still observing the remnants of the stone pillars in the square, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound, like the sound of something slowly breaking out of the ground.
Qi Yu turned his eyes to look at a boxy open space in the square, and saw a person jumping from a slowly erected stone pillar, the stone pillar continued to rise, rising to twenty-eight meters before stopping, and the difference between it and the outermost stone pillar on the right side of the circle was only a few meters high.
"This guy is not simple, in time, maybe there is a chance to replace the stone pillars inside and climb the rankings. ”
"I don't think so, that guy has been honing here for several years now, and each time he has made less and less progress, I guess it's going to be difficult. ”
"Even so, this height is enough to be proud of, if it weren't for the many geniuses over the years, this achievement would still be able to enter the circle. ”
......
The people around were discussing the rising stone pillar, some sighing, others admiring.
Xia Ruoshui walked to Qi Yu's side, looked at the stone pillar, and said, "That kind of stone pillar is called the Sword Qi Stone Pillar, and the higher the height of the stone pillar, the more ingenious and extreme your mastery of the sword qi is." ”
"And the stone pillars in the circle, the one on the left is the sword qi stone pillar left by the strong man of the Thorough Realm, the one on the right is the sword qi stone pillar left by the master of the Perception Realm, the sword qi stone pillar left by the strong man of the Thorough Realm will be retained for hundreds of years under the blessing of the Heavenly Array of the Sword Qi Square, and the sword qi stone pillar of the Perception Realm will be retained for ten years at most, and it will collapse by itself when the time comes. ”
Xia Ruoshui took Qi Yu around the periphery of the sword qi stone pillar, and finally stopped in front of a stone tablet.
Qi Yu looked at the stele, which was also divided into two columns, the left and right, which just corresponded to the left and right stone pillars in the circle.
Qi Yu looked at the stone tablet on the right, and from top to bottom were names, which also represented the rank of rank, and the height of the stone pillar was engraved next to the name.
Most of the names on the stone tablet are very unfamiliar, but there are also names that he is familiar with, such as Mu Nianyun, the enforcer of the good gate, who was the twenty-first, and the height of the stone pillar was forty-one meters.
Xia Ruoshui also looked at the stele and said, "The ranking I mentioned before is this, if you want to win the qualification of the Heavenly Rank, the first step is to enter the top ten on the stele." ”
After speaking, Xia Ruoshui walked to the boxy open space, stood on top of the open space, took out the swimming dragon, and danced, with the waving of the swimming dragon, the graceful curves rose and fell, the clothes on his body fluttered, and a small wave of wind was set off around.
Xia Ruoshui's movements suddenly attracted the attention of the people in the square, and those people stared at Xia Ruoshui and admired it, some sighed because they saw Xia Ruoshui's beauty, and some sighed because they felt Xia Ruoshui's sword qi, but only a few people sighed when they saw the sword in Xia Ruoshui's hand.
"This woman is really young and beautiful, and the sassy appearance of holding a sword in her hand makes my sword heart move, I like it so much. ”
"Bah, do you like that? You're hungry for her, you're cheap. ”
"You dare to say you're not greedy?"
"I am a sword cultivator, I am dedicated to the sword, how can I be affected by this pair of skins, but to be honest, she is better than the sword. ”
......
Xia Ruoshui stopped waving on the ground in all directions, and the words discussed by outsiders also stopped with the stagnation of the dragon, and everyone felt the feeling coming from the sword in Xia Ruoshui's hand, like a strong wind blowing on his cheeks, just for a moment, like a phantom, but real.
In front of everyone's eyes, Xia Ruoshui inserted You Long into the ground under his feet, and the tip of You Long's sword broke through the ground, at this moment, a wave of wind swept through the square, gathering towards the place where Xia Ruoshui stood, and finally circled down from the top of Xia Ruoshui's head, ending at the tip of You Long's sword.
After a breath of time, everyone stared at the stone slab at Xia Ruoshui's feet, all of them were surprised.
How could there be no stone pillars rising?
After another breath of time, a rumbling sound sounded, not the stone pillar rising, but the outermost right half of the circle with a thirty-two-meter height sword qi stone pillar collapsing.
At this moment, everyone's faces were shocked, and the eyes looking at Xia Ruoshui changed from curiosity at the beginning to respect.
Xia Ruoshui put away her sword and looked at the stone pillars in the circle, she knew that if there was no sword qi stone pillar under her feet, it would mean that her sword qi would be ranked.
I saw that the stone pillar in the circle was rapidly displaced, and a new stone pillar rose at a speed visible to the naked eye, from thirty-two meters to forty meters, and then slowed down, but it was still slowly rising, and finally stopped at a position very close to the inner circle.
Xia Ruoshui looked at the position of his sword qi stone pillar, and he couldn't say that he was satisfied, after all, this shot was just a small test, and he didn't use all his strength.
At this time, the last position in the right column of the stele disappears, and a new one rushes to the surface of the stele instead.
Qi Yu found the changes in the stele, the new ranking appeared in the fifteenth place on the stele, the height of the sword qi stone pillar was forty-eight meters, but the name column was blank, but Qi Yu knew that this ranking was Xia Ruoshui's.
A gust of fragrant wind hit, and then a shadow came to Qi Yu's side.
Xia Ruoshui approached, looked at the stone tablet, saw his ranking, and then stared up for a while, shook his head, and walked to the stone pillar in the circle.
After that, another man with thick eyebrows came over, stared at the stone tablet, shook his head, and pondered: "Why didn't this genius girl engrave her name on the stone tablet?"
Whoever enters the rank on the stele, the name column is burned by himself, of course, it is not necessarily the real name, a code name is enough, but there are very few people like Xia Ruoshui who enter the stele but are not engraved, if the name is not engraved, the Yuanshen Heavenly Array under the cloth of this square will not bless the Yuanshen, and the stone pillar will not be retained for long.
Qi Yu glanced at the thick-eyebrow man, recognized it as the person who jumped from the stone pillar just now, and said, "She's not over yet." ”
When the thick-eyed man heard this, his face was suspicious.
Could it be that the genius girl hasn't done her best yet?
The thick-eyed man turned his mind and found that in the ten sword qi stone pillars in the deepest part of the circle, Xia Ruoshui's handrail touched the stone pillars, closing his eyes, as if he was understanding.
At the same time, five more people came to the Sword Qi Square, completely breaking the somewhat calm atmosphere of the Sword Qi Square.
"Wu Jianchi, Wu Shen, Wu Huai, Wu Hu, Zhencang Zhujun, Lin Yan, Lin Miao!"
Qi Yu listened to the chatter of the thick-eyed man, and seemed to have seen the names of these five people on the stone tablet.
Looking up at the stele again, sure enough, the names of these five people are all on the stele, and the rankings are all after Xia Ruoshui, but they are almost the same.
At the edge of the square, a man holding a blue ink sword appeared, looking at the five people with a calm expression, and then set his eyes on the forty-eight-meter sword qi stone pillar.
Mu Nianyun said: "Today, there is a good show to watch. ”
In front of the stele, Xiao Cui also appeared beside Qi Yu after the five people appeared, her expression was very calm, but her words were very solemn, "They are coming to Xia Ruoshui." ”
When Qi Yu heard this, his eyes kept following the five people, and the branches on his waist trembled slightly, if these five people made any moves towards Xia Ruoshui, he would immediately take action.
