Chapter 1 Cherry blossoms are like blood
"Lingyun Zhi" recorded: "The Lingyun Continent began in the ancient times, chaotic in ancient times, during which 100,000 years of light, in the Hongmeng to find the way to ascend to the sky, want to control the six realms of Qiankun, beyond life and death." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ใ Since the end of antiquity, the heavens and the earth collapsed, and then the ten places of Kyushu were the human race's heavenly domain, and the Dingfa town was in the Xuanqing of heaven and earth. โ
The ancient fascination, the ancient calamity, 100,000 years of time passed in a hurry, and the vast territory of the remaining Kyushu and ten places in the Lingyun Continent was controlled by the human cultivators.
Time: 10,000 years after antiquity.
Location: Guan'an Prefecture, Lingyun Eastern Region.
The snow is boundless, the north wind is howling, the three mountains that cross the sky like fingers are connected together to set off each other, and the ancient land in the mountains is full of clusters of red cherry trees, and the red cherry trees are reflected in the snow with the wind, just like the white silk stained with blood, this situation has never existed even in the northern region of Lingyun.
There is an eighteen-story exquisite pagoda in the mountain that stands out, covered with white waves, making bursts of bells, resounding through the mountains, vibrating layers of snowflakes.
After the five heroic bells, four groups of people dressed in white and blue came out from the four directions of the southeast, south, north, west, and flew in the cold wind of white snow accompanied by red cherry blossoms.
From time to time, there were already hundreds of neatly dressed disciples in the huge martial arts arena under the eight-story Linglong Pagoda.
The martial arts arena is shaped in eight directions, according to the hexagram, an old man with a long beard stands on it and makes a posture of swinging his sleeves, and the wind suddenly rises to clean up the snow layer on the deposit, and even the cold wind whistling between heaven and earth is much smaller.
The disciples in the field stood silently, waiting for the elder to speak.
"My cherry blossom valley since Lu Zu opened the school, with the "Tai Ding Dian" to enter the Tao for thousands of years, a total of four courtyards in the south, east and west, disciples all over Guan'an, and even footprints have stepped into the Central Plains of the major states, is our cherry blossom valley luck, but also Lu Zu's luck. Today is another five-year period, according to Lu Zu's wish, the four courtyards will be compared, and the outstanding disciples who rank first will be qualified to enter the 'Linglong Eight Poles Pagoda', the treasure of our sect's town gate, for a period of five years. โ
As soon as these words came out, everyone was delighted, this 'Linglong Eight Poles Tower' has been standing in the Cherry Blossom Valley for thousands of years, and it not only collects the strongest exercise of the sect "Taiding Dian" but also collects various spells and spiritual skills, not only that, I heard that it has a powerful energy that can help practitioners improve their cultivation.
After the elder finished speaking, he stopped the voices from the audience and said, "Listen to me, this year's comparison between the four courtyards is a bit special, and after the elders and the masters of each academy discussed, it was decided to give the winners of the competition additional encouragement. โ
The disciples discussed: "Ah, there is not only the encouragement to enter the 'Linglong Eight Poles Pagoda', but also the special encouragement, what will it be?"
The elder sold a pass and continued to say with a smile: "We have all decided that the winner of this competition will be selected as the successor cultivation of the next valley master!"
As soon as the words 'Valley Master Successor Cultivation' came out, there was no surprise in the field, but it was very surprising.
"The elders are doing this to abolish the current Young Valley Lord, the descendant of Lu Zu, the former genius boy in the North Courtyard, Lu Xiaoyun!!"
All the disciples looked at the man.
At the end of the crowd, a fifteen-year-old boy with a height of 1.67 meters held a 'Zhu Yan' with a short sword-long 'Zhu Yan' with a sad face, and on the sword eyebrows lay starry goose snow as quiet as others. His eyes never looked at the martial arts platform that once belonged to him, and the hand holding the strange weapon 'Zhu Li' in his hand did not feel that it was already hot and humid in the cold wind.
Before the age of ten, he was the first person in the Cherry Blossom Valley, and he opened the Eightfold Realm to cultivate, and the Flame Spiritual Tripod made him the second demon in the history of the Cherry Blossom Valley after Lu Zu to reach such a realm before the age of ten. It's a pity that when he hit the Chong Ling realm, he was lucky enough to not die when he cultivated the fundamental spirit tripod, but he became an out-and-out waste.
Five years later, in the competition of the four academies, he still came, but he was no longer the same as he was back then.
Next to him stood a beautiful girl who was a head shorter than him, with willow leaves bent and ponytails, and her slender figure was clearly outlined by the clothes she had experienced, belonging to the kind of woman who would feel beautiful when she saw it.
She took Lu Xiaoyun's arm and smiled happily to relieve his worries: "Brother Xiaoyun, don't give up, you weren't like this back then, although you can't practice now, didn't you say that even if you don't rely on Lingding to practice and only take an alternative path of cultivation with books, you will let others know that you are still that genius?"
After the Lingding burst, Lu Xiaoyun began to practice calligraphy, imitating Wang Shusheng and planning to enter the Tao with calligraphy, but unfortunately this path was too difficult and difficult, and he only learned a fur in four years with his qualifications, and barely reached the double realm of Kaiding.
Lu Xiaoyun is still the same, the beautiful girl is a little coquettish, shaking his arm and pouting a little sadly: "If you do this again, then Man'er will not be happy!"
Seeing that Li Man'er, who had always been by his side for five years, was like this, Lu Xiaoyun sighed and set his eyes on the martial arts stage, holding Li Man'er's warm hand and secretly made a decision: "Even if Lingding bursts, he must rely on his own ability to let others know that not only can he rely on Lingding to practice, but even if he enters the Tao with books, he can stand at the peak again." โ
What's more, he has a female relative who cares about him so much, what worries about life?
"That's right, laugh at one," Li Man'er stretched out his hand and pulled Lu Xiaoyun's handsome face to make him happy.
"Don't make a fuss, there are other people watching!"
The disciples around all looked at them with a pair of envious and jealous eyes, which made Lu Xiaoyun a little embarrassed.
"What are you afraid of, take care of others, I like Brother Xiaoyun alone. โ
These words made Lu Xiaoyun's heart very warm, he was really afraid that one day Li Man'er would not want to accompany him, so what would he do at that time.
As the list was announced by the elders, all eyes were cast.
The first scene: It is the two senior brothers of the West Courtyard and the North Courtyard, the two of them are one cultivating the water system Lingding and the other is cultivating the fire system Lingding, the two fought until the end came to a water and fire duel, both fell off the martial arts stage, and the two were eliminated.
The second game: It is much more exciting, because it is Yin Xingchen of the North Courtyard who appeared, another talent who majored in Lei Lingding, met Lu Xiaoyun five years ago without entering the finals, and was eliminated directly, and this time he split the disciple of the South Courtyard to death, and his strength was considerable.
โฆโฆ
In the fifth game, it is the most anticipated duel except for Lu Xiaoyun, the second person who lost to Lu Xiaoyun five years ago, Rong Chengyun, this person cultivates the wood system spirit ding, and the combination of 'all things withering' and 'all things recovering' is not easy, he didn't fight today, because his opponent didn't even have the courage to play.
"In the seventh scene, Li Man'er to Lu Xiaoyun" Elder announced loudly.
The audience exploded in an instant.
"Wow, it's amazing, I don't know who arranged this, it's wonderful, you don't need to watch it to know it's wonderful. โ
"The mandarin duck duel, I don't know if his two recognized couples will move seriously. โ
"It's not fair, the relationship between the two is already like this, if they want to fight, it must be very watery, it's too unfair!"
"Yes, although Lu Xiaoyun was a genius in the past, but four years ago, because of the failure to break through the Chong Spirit Realm, the Spirit Ding burst and became a real wasted person if he didn't die, if he met someone else, he would definitely lose badly, doesn't he have a glimmer of hope now?"
"What do you know, I heard that in the past four years, Lu Xiaoyun has honed his calligraphy and wants to follow the same path as Wang Xizhi, who entered the Tao with calligraphy five hundred years ago, and it has achieved results, so I don't think I will necessarily lose. โ
Someone objected.
"The big news of this four-courtyard competition is that the cultivator who has established the next valley master, the meaning of the elders is very clear, and it is clear that Lu Xiaoyun will no longer be counted in it, and they want to choose someone else. If it weren't for Lu Xiaoyun's real waste, he wouldn't have said that."
"Really, Lu Xiaoyun is the grandson of the old sect master, and he is the descendant of Lu Zu, and our previous sect masters of Cherry Blossom Valley are only surnamed Lu. โ
"The sect master disappeared inexplicably three years ago, the elders won't be so bold, and the old sect master's longevity lamp has not been extinguished, which proves that he is still alive. Even if Lu Xiaoyun became a waste, they shouldn't do it. โ
"Don't you know, the Southern Courtyard has long had the intention of replacing the Eastern Courtyard, and this time it is already obvious, if Rong Chengyun wins, then the Southern Courtyard will most likely become the inheritance land of the next valley lord. โ
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, some were optimistic about Lu Xiaoyun and some were not, although they said so, they all wanted to see how the two faced off.
While everyone was talking, Li Man'er took Lu Xiaoyun's hand and walked on the martial arts stage, and Lu Xiaoyun had stepped on the martial arts platform of the Eight Hexagrams countless times, but this time it was the most difficult.
A gentle voice surrounded his ears: "Brother Xiaoyun, or we won't fight,"
Lu Xiaoyun seemed to have been shocked from the depths of his soul and stopped: "Nonsense, don't you look down on me." โ
"I ...... No, "Li Man'er was a little aggrieved.
"Don't be merciful later" He left this sentence and walked to the other side, the feeling that he couldn't speak, Li Man'er, who was still wronged in place, couldn't help but feel that he had just spoken too much.
But when he went to the martial arts arena, he couldn't care about so much. He wanted to show the calligraphy he had learned in the past four years here, and that would be fine. Although he knows that he is not Li Man'er's opponent.
The snow covered the ground again, and he couldn't see what color the ground was, abandoning the cold words that kept coming from his ears, Lu Xiaoyun only had the shadow opposite in his eyes, and he hoped that Li Man'er would not care about his feelings and fight with all his might.
"Man'er, come on, don't spare your hands, I won't show mercy. "He held the 'Zhu Liao' in his chest, and he couldn't feel any spirit in the cold pole, if it was this bit of wind and snow back then, how could he stop the burning of his flames.
Li Man'er on the opposite side hesitated, and after seeing Lu Xiaoyun ready, he resolutely drew his sword, a blue 'Ice Blue Sword' This sword was personally given by Lu Xiaoyun's grandfather when he won the victory, and he gave it to Li Man'er, and it couldn't be better with Li Man'er's ice spirit and beauty.
The 'Ice Blue Sword' was full of frost and cold for a while, and the ground was frozen within a radius of one meter from her, and the ice crystals contained in a prototype embryo surrounded her, which was the embryo of the Cultivation Root Spirit Ding.
Only by continuing to practice can it grow into a tripod.
Lu Xiaoyun remembered that his Spirit Ding embryo was a raging fireball, but unfortunately, it exploded when it hit the Spirit Realm that night.
"Brother Xiaoyun, be careful!" Li Man'er stopped in place, the cold air was pressing, and he said with a little reluctance.
Lu Xiaoyun nodded and said, "It's okay, just come here." โ
He held the 'Zhu Yan' and dipped it in the snowflakes on the ground, using the snowflakes as ink, relying on the induction of the previous practitioners, mobilizing the aura that existed between heaven and earth, and leaving a 'slash' character in the sky out of thin air. This is the spiritual practice method he has learned in the past four years, called 'Painting' Decision.
The word 'ๅ' is horizontal, and the font is magnificent, really like a sword in the sky, not losing Li Man'er's 'ice blue sword'.
"What is this, could it be that he really stepped into the path of Wang Shusheng, and he is really evil. โ
At the beginning, Wang Xizhi relied on calligraphy to be a horizontal river, a vertical is a mountain and a river, and the heaven and earth are used as white paper to draw and wave words, so as to become a generation of calligraphers, Lu Xiaoyun's move and Wang Shusheng have the same effect.
"Split the word"
'Knife' was beckoned by Lu Xiaoyun and decomposed into two sides, one became a 'knife' and the other became a 'slash', the word 'knife' flew out quickly, flipped in the air, although it was really a knife, but it also had the momentum of cutting a snow mark.
"W-"
Everyone thought that when Lu Xiaoyun's flying 'knife' could break through Li Man'er's ice, it was ejected and turned into flying snow and disappeared into the wind. Only Lu Xiaoyun knew that although he understood the 'Painting Word Decision' and the 'Word Splitting Decision', it was a pity that he didn't join in with the spiritual breath, and he was just a sub-shell.
"I lost, this word has no power, even if it can be used, there is no attack power, can I really only be a mortal in this life," although he was unwilling, he knew the cruelty of reality, and stared at Li Man'er, who had never made a move: "Man'er, you must enter the top four in the next game" After finishing speaking, the word 'ไฝฅ' in the air disappeared into the wind and snow, and he gave up the game.
Cold wind Xiao Xiao is the same as his heart at the moment.
This battle should be over like this, his aura of genius has been taken away, he is no longer a young valley master, and this battle will be his last. He hoped that Li Man'er could rush to the final with his this, and he secretly comforted that it was not a shame to lose to Li Man'er.
When he saw Li Man'er rushing over, he closed his eyes and held back tears, not wanting his lover to see a sad look.
"Poofโ"
Blood, red blood, snow, white snow, wind, cold wind, Lu Xiaoyun opened his eyes and saw not a happy Li Man'er but a strange face, like the cherry blossoms frozen after this heavy snowfall, although it was very beautiful, there was no trace of warmth. The 'Ice Blue Sword' he gave her pierced his chest, and he no longer felt pain.
Blood stained the snow red, like falling cherry blossoms, and the blood flowers that fell from behind him were scattered by the wind.
"You, what are you doing?......" He looked at Li Man'er who was holding the hilt of the sword incredulously, what did this sword represent.
Everyone was stunned, and in the end, Lu Xiaoyun was actually stabbed in the chest by Li Man'er's sword without warning, and he didn't spare his hand at all, and the ground suddenly turned red.
