Chapter 7: The Interesting "Little Man"
"Remember to keep your mouth shut about the secrets in the ring, even if it is your adoptive parents. Don't think that hiding it from them will not be able to get over the hurdle in their hearts, the more they know about this matter, the more unfavorable it will be for them. Bai Xuan admonished.
"Remembered. Xuanchen nodded and said.
"We're going to have a three-year term, and after three years, I'm leaving. Therefore, in the past three years, you must spare no effort to improve your strength and ensure that after three years, you can have a certain ability to protect yourself," Bai Xuan Zhengse said.
"I will. Xuan Chen replied.
"That's very good. It's getting late, you go down the mountain first, and then I'll come looking for you, so you don't need to ask about me. After Bai Xuan finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he disappeared in front of Xuan Chen.
Coming and going like the wind, this hand is magical, and it is smacking.
Xuanchen looked at the sky, it was already dusk. The afterglow of orange light sprinkled on Xuanchen's silver-white hair, and when the hair was scattered in the wind, it was like thousands of golden wisps.
"Let's go down the mountain. ”
Xuanchen's feet moved, jumping and shuttling between the jungles, heading down the mountain. Reunion after a long absence, like a world away.
"Mu Shusheng, do you remember what I said that day?"
——
At the dinner table in the evening, Xuan Chen told Xiao Zhen and Lin Qing the news that he had recovered his martial body.
Xiao Zhen was so excited that he brought out all the wine that he had been reluctant to drink, unsealed the mud, and drank until he was drunk.
Xuanchen didn't drink much, and Lin Qing was on the side to supervise, saying that he was happy and happy, and he still had to do what he could when he drank.
In fact, it was the woman who was as careful as a hair worried that Xuanchen had just recovered his martial body, and his muscles and bones were not completely stable, so it would not be good if he drank too much and broke the bones, so he didn't dare to let Xuanchen drink more.
After helping Xiao Zhen to the bed and cooking, Xuanchen returned to his room and began to pit and cultivate.
After five years, luck again, I can't help but have a sense of thorns in my hands to breathe out the aura. Fortunately, I still know by heart the mantras and some skills I learned in the sect at the beginning, so although I am unfamiliar with my luck, I make up for it a little in terms of skills, and the efficiency of cultivation is actually not bad.
Coupled with the meridians that have been strengthened by the Nine Dry Fusion Meridians, the transportation speed of the aura is much faster than before, and the faint golden light emitted on the meridians also has a purifying effect, and the filtered aura is quite pure, and there is no need to pay attention to Xuanchen, which is extremely spiritual. And a lot of effort was saved.
Because of the blessing of misfortune, although it has been abandoned for five years, but now he has better cultivation conditions, cold in water, Xuan Chen believes that what has fallen in the past five years, he can soon make up for it.
Time passed in a hurry, and by the time Xuanchen opened his eyes and dispersed the Tuna handprint, it was already midnight.
Xuan Chen dissipated his mental power and sensed a circle around the house, and after making sure that there was no one around, he raised his left hand and looked at the gray-white ring that his father had left him.
The so-called ring is made of a special space material, which is shrunk into inches, and another space is opened up in the ring, which can be used by users to store items and is easy to carry. The better the material refined, the wider the space inside the ring.
So as a personal object of the former Xuanyi, of course, this ring will not be a mortal thing. It's just that although the space in the ring is large, the size of four or five courtyards outside the gate, there are only two things inside, a scroll and a rusty iron sword, which are empty and look extremely shabby.
The scroll, which was solemnly told by his father, was half pitch black and half snow-white, and it did not give people much surprise except for its strange appearance.
It's not that Xuanchen "judges people by their appearance", he has seen a scroll of the clan's Taishang Mental Method, the outer layer of gold and jade is carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the inner material is said to be a precious flowing cloud gold thread, compared to the strange scroll in front of Xuanchen, it is simply a difference between cloud and mud.
Xuanchen tried to use his telekinesis to test the black and white scroll, maybe it was not disguised, and there was a hidden mystery?
But the moment Xuanchen's mental power touched the black and white scroll, a circle of extremely shallow ripples rippled on the scroll, and for a moment, Xuanchen only felt a shock to his soul, and the sea of consciousness was like a big wave, crashing on the shore and exploding.
Xuanchen's dissipated mental power was shattered, and he held his head, his soul was broken, and he curled up on the bed with a distorted face, and he was in pain.
It seemed that countless spring thunder exploded in his ears, and he almost wanted to scream in pain, but he couldn't, his mother was still next door. So he couldn't hold back his voice, his hands were pinched into his hair, his mouth bit a ball of bedding, the corners of his forehead were bruised, and he was sweating profusely.
This kind of shock in the mind and heart lake lasted for a few minutes before it gradually subsided, and when Xuanchen let go of his hands and sat up with a pale face, his eyes were empty, and he looked at the candle on the table in a daze, the sky was spinning, and his consciousness was in a trance.
Is the crux of my father's so-called "ripe time" here?
finally came to his senses, and Xuan Chen chose to stay away from that scroll of mind for the time being.
Then I thought of my father's explanation of the other rusty sword, as if he had not introduced the scroll. There is a way to bypass the class, so does it mean that this rusty sword will not be as dangerous as a scroll?
So Xuanchen once again probed his mental power into the ring, and his mental power moved slightly, and he took out the rusty iron sword.
Fortunately, everything is safe.
Then Xuanchen held the rusty sword in his hand, looked left and right, looked again, played with his hand, stepped on it with his feet, blistered, and burned, for more than an hour, tossing and turning, but the iron sword still did not move, and even the rust on the sword body was reluctant to fall a little.
The trembling sound of the blade is muddy, and the blade is simple and dull, which shows that the quality of this sword is extremely poor.
Xuanchen began to feel a little disheartened about how he looked at this handle, which looked like a broken copper and iron that had worked hard to chop wood.
Wiping his sweat, Xuanchen let out a long sigh, "One last time." ”
Xuan Chen stretched out a finger and poured a wisp of spiritual energy into a red bead on the sword grid.
Why did you choose this place? Because Xuanchen turned over and over, the tall man in the short pile was taller, and the whole sword was on the whole sword, and this place was quite passable.
The beads are full and clear, although there are some signs of dust, but if you look closely, it seems to be exquisite. There is a little light hidden in the depths of the beads, deep red, surprisingly deep and eye-catching.
It was a mistake, and with the infusion of Xuanchen's aura, the red beads suddenly flashed with a fleeting red light.
Immediately afterwards, the red beads actually began to actively absorb the aura that Xuan Chen emitted outside his body, and the speed of absorption became faster and faster, and later it even became in short supply.
"I still don't believe it, can I still be bottomless?"
Xuanchen became more energetic, and more aura was transmitted to the red beads.
The style in the room changed abruptly, turning into a confrontation of one person and one sword, and the beads of sweat on Xuanchen's forehead became more and more, but the light of the red beads became more and more abundant. There is quite a hint of "taking yin to make up for yang".
"What the hell!" Xuan Chen scolded, preparing to withdraw the aura, not that he was timid, but that the aura in his body was really sucked by this strange bead and there was not much left.
But just as Xuan Chen was about to block the leakage of spiritual energy, the bead suddenly bloomed with a fierce red light, and it actually enveloped Xuan Chen in its entirety. Then, in a noisy manner, he directly pulled Xuanchen's aura back from his body and continued to absorb it vigorously.
Xuan Chen was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, the sea of dantian qi seemed to have been forcibly broken open by a red bead, and the only remaining spiritual energy was gushing out wildly uncontrollably, but he couldn't do anything at all.
In case all the spiritual energy in the dantian qi sea is exhausted, the dantian qi sea will fall into depletion at that time, and in that case, the damage caused to the body will be no less than the damage to the meridians again.
And even if you are lucky enough to recover in the future, you will fall into a lifelong dark disease that will be difficult to heal, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Xuanchen was like falling into an ice cave, and the dantian qi sea quickly showed symptoms of exhaustion, his limbs became more and more weak, his eyes were closed, and all thoughts were lost. And that red bead still doesn't give up.
Fortunately, when Xuanchen was almost desperate, the strange red light suddenly disappeared again.
The only trace of aura left in the dantian began to re-urge the dantian to operate, and the aura from the outside world slowly entered Xuanchen's body and regained some vitality.
Xuan Chen opened his eyes suddenly, took a long breath, and lived for the rest of his life.
But before he could let out this breath, Xuan Chen was stunned, because he seemed to hear some strange sounds......
"Hiccup~"
Is it a human hiccup?
"Hiccup~"
Another bang.
Xuanchen climbed out of bed to check left and right, lifted the futon, turned over the boxes and cabinets, and even got under the bed to eat the ashes on his face, and then checked repeatedly with his mental power, but found nothing.
And then......
"Hiccup, full. ”
This sentence is particularly clear, absolutely true, 100% human voice.
But there seems to be nothing else in this room that can speak except himself.
Xuanchen thought about it again and again, and finally his eyes fell on the rusty iron sword, which was no different, except for the red bead that looked more moist and full after absorbing Xuanchen's aura.
Red beads!
Xuanchen woke up, if it was an ordinary bead, how could it be so weird as to forcibly suck people's spiritual power.
Unless......
Xuanchen thought of what his father said: But there is a guy who lives in it and has a somewhat strange temper, I don't know if it is willing to take care of you
Xuan Chen suddenly felt that the rusty sword in his hand was as hot as a red soldering iron, and he immediately threw it out violently, and with a clang, the blade fell to the ground, trembling and buzzing.
"Your hospitality, belongs to the beginning and the end, enter the door with a hot face, leave a cold ass, not too thoughtful, not too thoughtful, hiccup~"
The voice came from within the red bead, and sure enough, it was really speaking.
Hearing this, Xuanchen stared at the red bead deadly.
"You, you...... Where are you, a demon, a monster, and a man who has the courage to show up and speak, sneaky, and unsightly?!"
"Yo ho, yes, yes, timid but not cowardly, well, to put it bluntly, it's a dead duck with a hard mouth. Forget it, for the sake of swallowing you and losing your aura, I'm embarrassed, so let's reluctantly let you see Uncle Ben's dignity. Keep your eyes open, little one!"
Xuanchen secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
I saw a red bright light pass by, and the next moment, a palm-sized white mist appeared in the red bright light.
If you look closely, there is still a phantom villain floating in the fog, it is a young man, and judging by his face, he should be the same age as Xuanchen.
"This ......" Xuan Chen was stunned for a few moments, and then asked confirmatively, "You...... Are you sure this is your honor?"
Xuanchen, who was still frightened before, was calm and calm at the moment, it was really not something he pretended, it was really the phantom villain who was only the size of his palm, no matter how you looked at it, it seemed that he was powerless, harmless to humans and animals. As for the strange demonic technique of devouring spiritual energy before, Xuan Chen only regarded it as a demonic skill, and because he took the initiative to expose the flaws, he let it take advantage of it.
"What, is there a problem?" The phantom figure in the fog held his hands behind his back, and his posture was arrogant. But the phantom villain's face is immature, so it looks like he is pretending to be profound, which makes people laugh.
"Is there a problem? You almost sucked my dantian qi sea dry just now, it seems to be very natural?" Xuan Chen asked.
"Uncle, I can afford you, you should naturally feel very honored. It's just a little rough aura, you can also be a treasure, the frog at the bottom of the well!" The phantom villain snorted coldly, and it was really very reasonable.
Xuan Chen was angry, "I'm an eye-opener today, there are really brazen people like you in the world!"
The phantom villain didn't show any weakness, but said impatiently: "What's wrong with my dignified sword spirit sucking some spiritual energy from you?
Xuan Chen was stunned, "Sword Spirit?"
"Yes! Sword Spirit!" said the Phantom Villain in an accentuated tone.
"Everything has a spirit, and the grass and trees also have a heart, I know this, but the sword spirit ...... I've never heard of it. Xuanchen was a little confused and said.
"Heh, the yellow-haired child is stupid and ignorant, understand, understand. In that case, I'll give you a long insight, little one. The phantom villain said with a serious face, "Heaven and earth are so big, there are no wonders, when the quality of something reaches a certain height, there is hope to derive the spiritual wisdom with independent thoughts, just like the heaven and earth spiritual grass, inscriptions, as long as the quality is high enough, it is possible to give birth to spiritual wisdom." ”
The phantom man pinched his throat and cleared his throat, as if he was about to get to the point.
"And the same is true of 'weapons', there is no shortage of weapons in this world, with the help of time and the weapon holder, gradually derived the spirit of intelligence, we call this kind of spirit "machine spirit". And those weapons with spiritual intelligence, we classify them as 'spiritual weapons'. The person holding the spirit weapon can even drive the spirit weapon in battle and fight together with his own consciousness, so that the overall lethality will inevitably be drastically improved. ”
"And Uncle Ben and I, I are beyond the 'machine spirit', the only ...... in heaven and earth, unparalleled in the world, through the heavens and the earth."
"Uh, Wh, Wh ......"
The phantom villain's eyes rolled, as if he was trying to collect words, but in the end, maybe he was still running out of words, he smacked his lips, covered up his embarrassment, and scribbled out: "Shapeshifter Spirit!"
"But you look ...... It feels like I'm going to be blown away by the wind if I'm not careful, it's not quite like it. Xuan Chen said with a questioning face, "You shouldn't see that I don't understand, so you are making a fool of yourself and deceiving people, right?"
"What's the use of lying to you, a yellow-haired kid?" said the phantom villain disdainfully.
"It's hard to say, it's possible to find a high-sounding reason for you to devour my aura, to make yourself more at ease, or something. Xuanchen said.
You yellow-haired boy is not only ignorant, but also incapable of making good decisions. The phantom villain was almost angry, and said angrily, "If I hadn't been damaged by my strength now, I would have been able to erase you, a yellow-haired boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, do you believe it or not?"
"I don't believe it. Xuan Chen shook his head very seriously, "A spirit that even I covet in the Qi Spirit Realm, even if what you say is true, it is definitely the most heelous type of machine spirit." ”
"Special mother's ...... Forget it, Uncle is too lazy to talk to you, playing the piano to a cow is more interesting than talking to a yellow-haired boy like you. After the phantom villain finished speaking, he really stopped paying attention to Xuanchen, turned into a wisp of light smoke, and slipped back into the red beads.
"Hey, we're not done yet......"
Xuan Chen shouted at the red bead, but there was no response.
Then Xuan Chen looked at the rusty iron sword that suddenly fell into silence, and Mu Ran fell into deep thought.
He cares about those aura, but it's hard to recover, and he doesn't have to find out.
Since the phantom villain, known as the "Sword Spirit", finally withdrew his hand and did not put Xuanchen to death, it means that it should not have malicious intentions.
Xuanchen has a lot of confusion and wants to get answers.
Although I don't know the origin of the scroll heart method and this rusty sword, at present, they are far from being able to control themselves.
Xuanchen stepped forward and took the rusty sword back to the ring, and his heart lake swayed slightly.
"Father, what are you doing with these two things?"
