Xu Daoyun's eyes lit up and asked, "Old man, do you know what happened at the dock two years ago?"

The old boatman said: "Hey, who doesn't know, as long as it is the people in Qingcheng, even the children in open crotch pants can say a word or two." "Two years ago, a group of people arrived in Qingcheng, and I remember that night it was raining very hard, and those six or seven people were fighting at the pier with their hats. ”

The old boatman picked up a water bladder on the board, drank a sip of the warm soup that the old woman had made for him herself, and continued: "Wow, that fight was in the dark, the planks and boats of the dock were sunk, and it was the town guard who paid for it, and our boatmen contributed to rebuild it." ”

Xu Daoyun lay on the board of the boat and pouted, and the curiosity he had just aroused was instantly extinguished by the old man's words.

I thought he had seen it with his own eyes, and it was good that he could hear from him how fierce the battle was two years ago, but now, he was just hearsay, and he didn't see the wharf scuffle that day.

He turned the jade bottle in his hand upside down and looked at it dozens of times, the mouth of the bottle was placed on the tip of his nose, and there was a faint medicinal fragrance coming out, and the smell of it made people feel refreshed.

Opened the seal and opened the cap of the bottle, and because it was lying down, a round pill the size of a light blue peanut fell out of it, which first landed on Xu Daoyun's body, and then rolled down the ship's board.

Xu Daoyun immediately closed the bottle, pinched the small clear light blue pill with his thumb and forefinger, sniffed it, and sighed: "Well, it's so fragrant." ”

The smell of the pill is fragrant, not as pungent and bitter as the herbs that are boiled during the treatment of diseases on weekdays.

Xu Daoyun hesitated for a moment, threw the pill into his mouth, and the Mixed Yuan Yijin Pill melted in his mouth, almost in the next moment. Xu Daoyun felt that the dantian in the next inch of his abdomen was opened, absorbing and filtering the aura at a speed several times higher than usual.

Xu Daoyun was overjoyed, thinking that when the woman was leaving, she said that this elixir had the effect of speeding up her cultivation, and it was indeed true.

He hurriedly took out two pieces of purple spirit crystals and held them in his hands, then closed his phoenix eyes and entered the cultivation state.

The medicinal effect of this mixed Yuan Yijing Pill is extremely strong, and after taking it, you must race against time, otherwise it will be a tyrannical thing.

Although the old boatman was puzzled when he saw Xu Daoyun's strange appearance, he didn't bother him, and only rowed his boat with peace of mind.

Xu Daoyun's breath gradually stabilized, and his divine consciousness entered the inner heaven and earth, appearing in the center of the rolling clouds, and cultivating with the help of the divine power of heaven and earth.

Call!

Suddenly, a wave of air exploded from Xu Daoyun's body, blowing away the clouds and mist that permeated his body, and the water waves spread in all directions, and the lake with a radius of dozens of zhang began to surge, and the entire boat shook violently.

The old boatman rowing the boat said "ouch", he was frightened, and thought that there was a big fish under the boat, so he hurriedly called out to Xu Daoyun, who was still with his eyes closed, "Little guest officer, little guest officer, wake up, wake up, we seem to be in trouble." ”

Xu Daoyun opened his eyes gently, but he was not woken up by the old man, but by himself.

The moment he opened his eyes, a golden light flashed through his pupils, he let out a long breath, hooked the corners of his mouth, and showed unconcealed joy on his face, and said to himself: "Qi refining realm C Xiaocheng." ”

Seeing that Xu Daoyun ignored his words, the old boatman became even more anxious, "Guest officer, there seems to be a big fish under the boat, it was hitting our boat just now, but how is it good?"

His tone sounded panicked and scared, "If the boat capsizes here, you really have to feed the fish, why haven't there been big fish hitting the boat before, ouch, unlucky..."

Xu Daoyun smiled lightly: "Don't panic, there are no big fish." ”

The old boatman didn't dare to be careless: "But... The boat shook a little just now, it can't be a reef, right?"

"It's fine. Xu Daoyun flipped his palm, and five taels of silver popped out of his thumb and landed at the old man's feet.

Then he stood up, stood on the bow of the boat, stretched out against the full moon hanging high in the night, and had a satisfied smile on his face, and the five taels of silver were also sent out with joy.

After so long, he finally crossed the innate realm and truly stepped into the ranks of the Qi Refining Realm.

Qi refining realm, this is a very magical realm, this realm, as the name suggests, focuses on refining qi, but also can resist qi.

When you reach the Qi Refining Realm, you can release the true qi in your body, such as Sun Kai's red rainbow sword qi and the cyan sword of the woman in black, which are all the effects of the deterioration of true qi after running a certain method.

There is also the magic weapon that can be used to control the flying sword, which is easy to use, but difficult to master, because one mind cannot be used for two purposes, and when controlling the flying sword, it is very easy to focus too much and ignore the dangers around it.

Therefore, the most important thing to use the flying sword is to see and hear in all directions, and people who are truly ingenious can even use the flying sword as a third arm, such as arm command, extremely flexible.

In this "Heavenly Dao Sword Gang" taught by Fang Qingyang, all sword cultivation supernatural powers are recorded, including sword qi and sword imperial techniques, and there are many supernatural powers in the future, but Xu Daoyun's cultivation is too shallow to peek into the mysteries.

Xu Daoyun took a deep breath, summoned the Chonghe sword, and then hung the Chonghe sword in the air.

The art of the sword in the Heavenly Dao Sword Gang is called the sword to subdue the demon, and the cultivation is to the highest and profound realm, not stagnant in things, it can condense and transform the sword, and injure the enemy invisibly.

Xu Daoyun silently recited the magic of the sword to subdue the demon, the sword finger in his left hand pointed a little forward, and the sword shone with white light, and shot out against the surface of the water, and the sword qi cut the lake in half, rippling.

Xu Daoyun's heart moved, and the Chonghe sword that flew out ten zhang away turned in reverse, and then folded back, hovering beside him, silent, and extremely smart.

The old boatman saw all this in his eyes, and couldn't help but shake his head and exclaimed: "Oh, it's amazing, it's really amazing, is the little guest officer still a monk?"

Xu Daoyun smiled shyly, nodded, and suddenly the imperial envoy's flying sword pierced into the lake, and then when he was about to lose his senses, he turned upward, rushed out of the lake, spared two circles in mid-air, and recalled to his side.

The old boatman sighed: "What a skill, the old man has lived for more than sixty years, and it is the first time to see a person with such skills, and the little guest officer is really a good skill." ”

Xu Daoyun was also really excited in his heart, this sword technique was really amazing.

He held the Chonghe sword, raised his qi luck, and swung it into the air in front of him, and a white sword qi slashed out horizontally, extremely fast, with the sound of breaking the sky, stirring up a splash on the surface of the lake.

The old boatman was dumbfounded and amazed.

Xu Daoyun was in a surging mood and couldn't help laughing, this is the power of a Qi Refining Realm cultivator.

He looked up at the full moon in the sky and began to look forward to the Qi Gathering Realm, where he was said to be able to fly in the sky.

When the time comes, it will really be a wide sea and a fish jumping, and the sky will be high for birds to fly.

The feeling of pleasure galloping through the world, Xu Daoyun can't wait to try it.

The boat drifted for more than an hour, and finally arrived at Qingcheng Wharf, and the old boatman smiled: "Little guest officer, it's here." ”

Xu Daoyun jumped ashore, said hello to the old boatman, and turned to leave.

When he walked uphill and saw the palace on his left, he paused, thinking that this magnificent mansion with lanterns was destined to be unpeaceful.

When the hour had passed, there were still a lot of people in the market, not as noisy as before, but more quietly watching lanterns on the street.

Xu Daoyun did not choose to fly the eaves and walk the wall, but shuttled slowly among the people watching the lanterns, he hung his head, the whole person looked a little depressed, and he looked embarrassed, with blood on his face, the clothes on his right arm were torn, and the congealed dark red blood was shocking, making passers-by retreat.

Xu Daoyun was in stark contrast to the happy scene of everyone on the street, at this moment he seemed to be shrouded in a haze, he didn't want to speak, and he was not in the mood to appreciate the various lanterns with tears streaming down his face, so he walked forward slowly, and with the memory of the road in his mind, he came to the alley where Fengteng Restaurant was located, and stepped into the darkness.

Walking through the dark alley, Xu Daoyun saw a familiar restaurant with a red ribbon, at this time the hall in the restaurant was brightly lit, and the bodies of the two men who died in his hands at the gate were nowhere to be seen, and they had obviously been disposed of.

At this moment, a surprised voice came, "Ah, my lord is back." ”

Following the prestige, I saw a girl in a long skirt sitting at the stone table outside the entrance of the restaurant, and she stood up in surprise at this time, and the firelight in the hall reflected her face, it was Meng Jia.

She ran out of the restaurant quickly, came to the young man, covered her mouth after seeing his embarrassed appearance clearly, and exclaimed, "You... Why did you shed so much blood?"

Xu Daoyun waved his hand and said weakly: "Sensei, tonight's Qingni Village is really lively." I took that damn mission to wade through the troubled waters, and that's why I looked like this, and I almost lost my life in it. ”

After that, Xu Daoyun sat down at the stone table with difficulty and asked, "Do you have any wine and food?"

"Well, there is. Meng Jia said worriedly: "But you are injured and can't drink." ”

Xu Daoyun's lips were slightly pale, and the smile he showed looked more attractive at the moment, "It's okay, for me, wine is the best medicine, you go, I'll wait for you here." ”

Meng Jia wanted to speak and stopped, but finally nodded, and then turned around and walked towards the room.

Not long after, Meng Jia came over with a few plates of steaming delicacies, namely shredded beef with red dates and red dates, dry-roasted yams, four-flavored abalone, hidden pearls in crabs, and Taoyuan chicken soup, as well as half a catty of wine.

Meng Jia put a lot of thought into these dishes, and all the dishes she made were medicinal foods that greatly tonified the body, and she saw that Xu Daoyun's injuries were so serious, so they were specially tailored for him.

Xu Daoyun ate quickly, using both hands at the same time, Meng Jia, who was not far away, saw that he ate so deliciously, and his heart was also very happy, this gobbling up appearance indirectly proved her cooking skills.

After eating and drinking, Xu Daoyun stood up and said, "Can the bathhouse be used, I want to wash the dirty things on my body." ”

Meng Jia, who was stacking the empty dishes together, nodded and said, "You can use it, I'll go and boil water for you." ”

"No, I'll just take a cold shower. Xu Daoyun said with a smile.

Meng Jia said: "Then how can you do it, how can you wash cold water on such a cold day, and how can you get it if you suffer from the wind cold?" You sit down for a while, and I will immediately go to boil water for you." ”

"Not really, I like to use cold water. Xu Daoyun still insisted, he looked at the clothes that were stained with dust and blood, and tattered, and said with a wry smile: "Please prepare a clean robe for me, thank you." ”

Since he insisted, Meng Jia didn't care much about other people's affairs, and said, "Please come with me." Then he took Xu Daoyun and walked towards the bathhouse.

Meng Jia poured cold water into the tub and exited the bathhouse.

Xu Daoyun took three or two pieces of forging spirit stones from the Qiankun bag and threw them into the bath bucket, this spirit stone not only has the effect of refining the body, but also has the effect of smoothing qi and blood, relieving muscle fatigue, and treating external injuries, which can be described as a stone with multiple uses.

His long, bloodstained fingers slowly unbuttoned his shirt, peeled off his outer robe, and removed his undershirt to reveal his well-defined and muscular body, and then stepped into the tub with one foot.

Hiss, it's cold!

The coldness of the water was beyond Xu Daoyun's expectations, the moment one leg stepped in, he felt that even his spine was cold, he couldn't help but tremble, gritted his teeth and endured the biting cold, raised the other leg and stepped into the bathtub, and then the whole person lay down.

Xu Daoyun was tense all over, the Xuan Gong in his body was running, fighting the cold qi with his true qi, and the pores of his body were opened, absorbing the power of the forging spirit stone.

The skin that was tight from the cold slowly regained its softness with the operation of Xuan Gong, and the water in the tub slowly fluctuated as if it was being blown by the wind, even though it did not move.

Xu Daoyun leaned his head on the edge of the bathtub, closed his eyes, and carefully recalled everything that happened tonight, and then his mind gradually became trance-like and entered a half-asleep state.

Half an hour later, Meng Jia's voice came from outside the bathhouse, "My lord, have you washed up?"

Xu Daoyun opened his eyes and replied, "Okay." ”

Bang la blah.

Xu Daoyun jumped out of the bathtub directly, put on the clean underwear prepared by Meng Jia, the whole person felt very good, full of energy, and the fatigue and pain on his body seemed to have healed.

He clenched his fists and said to himself, "Obviously he was seriously injured by Sun Kai's sword, why did he recover so quickly? ”

Xu Daoyun pushed the door and walked out of the bathhouse, and saw Meng Jia sitting at the stone table looking up at the stars, so he asked with a smile: "Miss Meng Jia, why don't you go to sleep?"

Meng Jia's eyes lit up, and Xu Daoyun at this time not only regained his heroic appearance, but the look on his face was completely different from before.

At that time, he looked embarrassed, and the whole person looked depressed and lonely. Now the corners of his mouth are hooked, his phoenix eyes are smiling, his sword eyebrows are stretched, and he is full of spirit, which is really like two people.

Meng Jia came back to her senses and said crampedly: "I... I wanted to see if the adults had anything else to command. ”

Xu Daoyun approached, looked up at the star-dotted night sky, and said while a night breeze blew, "I'm fine, thank you." ”

"Oh, let's go back then. Meng Jia got up, the two walked into the restaurant, locked the doors and windows, blew out the candles, and went back to their rooms to rest.

Xu Daoyun, who returned to the room, fell asleep, but his divine consciousness entered the inner heaven and earth to stabilize the qi refining realm.
