Chapter 173: Retreat to the Underground Palace

Zong Da patted the shirt on his chest and said with a smile: "The reaction is good, and the moves are also very accurate, it seems that the days of the junior brother in front of the Zhongmiao Xuan Gate are not easy." ”

Xu Daoyun smiled bitterly: "Senior brother guessed well, senior brother went through nine deaths and a lifetime, and he came to Xuanmen with great hardship." I don't have any other skills, but I know a little bit about the means of fighting with others, and the class has an axe, and the senior brother is smiling. ”

Zong Da said: "This mouth of the junior brother is really a matchmaker, but the monk does not take advantage of his tongue, and he has to see the real chapter and look at the knife under his hands!"

Zong Da attacked again, and the double knives were endless, dancing like a long rope, enveloping Xu Daoyun in it.

Xu Daoyun's two eyeballs followed the swinging blade and rotated, and the punch and sword in his hand could always be just right to resist in the critical position, and then counterattack.

Chen Wenhu's sharp eyes narrowed, and he turned his head sideways and asked, "Little sister, you may see the clue?"

Chen Rui said: "Xu Daoyun can always seal all of Zongda's moves when his moves are about to be released, but how does he judge the trajectory of Zongda's sword?"

Chen Wenhu said: "This is the method of anticipating the enemy first, you are a subordinate who is a master, and his swordsmanship is not simple." ”

Chen Rui asked, "Do you want me to force him to ask him and let him tell the truth?"

"Hey, by all means, sword cultivation is often rather bent than bent, if you force him to tell the truth, it will backfire and make him resentful. ”

Chen Rui shrugged, "I'm just talking." ”

Lifting up, after Xu Daoyun resolved Zongda's moves, he forced him back with a sword, and then used the magic power of the sword to subdue the demon, and the flying sword stabbed over.

Zong Da laughed and said, "Okay, this is the unique flying sword technique of sword cultivation, let me come and teach it today!"

He was lucky enough to slash at the sword that turned into white light, but although his sword was fast, the speed of the sword was even faster, bypassing his twin swords and stabbing at his vital point.

Zong Da let out a loud shout, and a breath of true qi from his body shook the Chonghe sword away, and then the knife fell in his hand, slashing heavily at the Chonghe sword.

Hearing only the sound of "dang", the Chonghe sword was knocked out, and then turned around in mid-air, turning into an arc and rushing up again.

While Zong Da resisted the flying sword, he quietly approached Xu Daoyun, who was the imperial envoy flying sword, in his opinion, Xu Daoyun, who was preoccupied with controlling the flying sword, had no time to care about it at all, as long as the distance was enough, he would definitely be able to catch him if he suddenly broke out.

Xu Daoyun saw his small movements, but he didn't break them, he still manipulated the flying sword to attack him, and deliberately reduced the frequency of attacks, so that Zong Da had more time to get close to him.

Sure enough, when Zongda was only three zhang away from Xu Daoyun, he slashed and slashed with his sword, stepped on the ground, and turned into a black wind and swept over, overwhelming the sky and imposing.

The disciples in the audience exclaimed, "Look, Xu Daoyun is going to be defeated." ”

"Yes, he has a flying sword outside, and he is defenseless to resist by his side, and he will definitely be defeated. ”

"This is the disadvantage of flying sword supernatural powers, taking care of one and losing the other. ”

Zong Da also had the chance to win, splitting Xu Daoyun's true qi scattered outside his body, and the two knives swung down in unison.

Xu Daoyun hooked the corners of his mouth, pinched the trick with his left hand, and the place where Liao Fan was standing collapsed, and he was caught off guard and fell into the pit, extremely embarrassed.

Liao Fan was about to jump out of the hole, but he felt a chill on his neck, lowered his head and stuck it, only to see that a sword blade containing white light was already close at hand.

"Senior brother, admit it. Xu Daoyun put away his sword and stood.

Zong Da smiled bitterly, climbed out of the hole, and arched his hand: "Hey, this senior brother is really ashamed of me, he is not as good as others in his skills, and he is convinced to lose." ”

"Where, where is it, the junior brother won half a move by luck, and it was the senior brother's mercy. ”

Zongda jumped out of the ring, patted the gloating Liao He on the shoulder and said, "Liao He, you didn't lose unjustly, because even I lost." ”

Liao He rolled his eyes.

Xu Daoyun also jumped out of the ring and said to Chen Wenhu: "The class has an axe, which makes Senior Brother Chen smile." ”

Chen Wenhu said: "The swordsmanship is exquisite, the sword moves are sharp, lure the enemy deep, and counterattack in a timely manner, but it's a pity that you entered the Taoist, otherwise if you come to my soldier's house, you will definitely be able to make a difference." ”

"False praise. ”

Chen Wenhu said to Tie Niu: "Tie Niu, let's catch up with your eldest brother, my soldier's retreat dungeon has been vacant, if you encounter a bottleneck in your cultivation, you can go to the dungeon to retreat, which will be of great help to you." ”

"Yes. "The Iron Bull gave up.

Xu Daoyun rolled his eyes and asked Ding Deming on the side, "Senior Brother Ding, can you take us to the retreat dungeon to have a look?"

"Of course, you two can come with me. ”

The three of them left the martial arts arena and walked to the depths of Tiger Swallowing Mountain.

Ding Deming said: "The retreat dungeon is indeed a good place, but it can only be used after deducting contribution points. ”

Xu Daoyun asked, "How much is deducted?"

"Ten points of contribution in an hour. ”

Xu Daoyun's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "So many!"

Ding Deming said with a smile: "Senior Brother Daoyun doesn't know, the retreat place is close to the underground spiritual vein, and the Spirit Gathering Array of Tiger Swallowing Mountain is derived from the underground, and the spiritual energy is extremely strong, don't say that there are ten points of contribution in an hour, even if it is a twenty point contribution, there are people who are willing to go in." ”

Xu Daoyun thought for a moment and said with a smile: "If you go in for ten days and half a month, it will cost you a lot of contribution points, and you will get 1,200 contribution points in ten days, which is really a bit much." ”

Ding Deming shook his head, "This is a bad statement, if spending these contributions can enhance our strength, we would rather spend all our contributions on it, but there are not many people now." ”

"Why is this?" Xu Daoyun wondered in his heart.

Ding Deming said: "I heard a senior brother say that although retreat is good, you can't keep retreating. For example, if you have endless contributions now, your cultivation is the Qi Refining Realm, and after entering the retreat, you have been cultivating until you have gathered Qi, and you don't know how much precipitation and accumulation you have to go through, and the breakthrough of the cultivation realm is not only a long-term cultivation, but also a breakthrough in the bottleneck requires perception and opportunities, so it is better to practice outside the retreat in the cave mansion. ”

Xu Daoyun pondered, "Then what is the wonderful use of this retreat cave?"

Ding Deming pondered for a moment, suddenly grinned, raised his hand and pointed at the Iron Bull, and replied: "For example, like the Iron Bull, the cultivation realm has reached a bottleneck, and the spiritual power is in a full state, what is needed is an opportunity and opportunity, and going to the cave for retreat at this time is the right choice." ”

Xu Daoyun suddenly realized, "I see, I just thought that if there are many cultivators, if you enter this retreat cave for three years and five years, won't you just jump into the sky? It turns out that there are so many doorways among them, and I have been taught." ”

"Senior Brother Daoyun, have you read the "Hundred Treatises on Monks", it is clearly written. ”

Xu Daoyun nodded, "Naturally, I watched it, but I didn't read much, and I didn't understand the opportunity to break through the bottleneck, so I'll take a closer look when I go back tonight." ”

He turned to pat Tie Niu's shoulder and said, "That Tie Niu is now a second-class master of the Qi Refining Realm, and his true qi is also full, and what he lacks is an opportunity." Why don't you go to the cave for a period of time, but you can't break through the first-class realm of the Qi Refining Realm this month, and you can more or less comprehend some truth, how about it?"

Tie Niu naturally nodded without hesitation and said, "Listen to the eldest brother's orders." ”

Ding Deming shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Senior Brother Daoyun, what kind of ecstasy soup did you give Tie Niu for, only obey your orders, so that people are not jealous." ”

Xu Daoyun grinned, patted Tie Niu's shoulder and said: "Tie Niu and I hit it off at first sight, and they fell in love, his brain is not as fast as others, he pays little attention, and he is impulsive and reckless, he needs to have a big brother like me who is shrewd and understands human feelings to guide him, right?"

The three of them came to a relatively remote mountain in Wuxiu Mountain, and saw that the peaks and mountains here were stacked and green, undulating.

A large area of poplar trees forms a sea of trees, stretching as far as the eye can see, although the trees are tall and sheltered, but they cannot block the light of the day, and the mountain path is particularly bright.

The trail slowly ascends along a hillside, and the poplar trees on both sides stand still like heavenly soldiers guarding the safety of the mountain forest.

Xu Daoyun and the three of them saw that there were still many disciples walking back and forth on this quiet path, or in groups, or in three or two together, or alone, they could guess that they should all be disciples who came to the underground palace for retreat, and their cultivation was superb and should not be underestimated.

Ding Deming raised his finger and said, "Follow this road to the underground palace." ”

Xu Daoyun said with a smile: "It is a good place for retreat, it is really like a fairyland outside the world." ”

"That's it. Ding Deming looked proud and proud.

The three of them set out on a secluded path and walked along the endless road towards the hillside, all the way unimpeded.

Xu Daoyun was in a good mood, and he was enjoying the scenery along the way, which was also fast.

After a short time, the upward path became smoother, and it seemed that it had reached the top of the mountain, and the vision in front of me suddenly opened up. From a distance, a semicircular fortress could be seen shrouded in silver light, surrounded by countless poplar trees, only the position facing this side was not shaded by poplar trees.

Xu Daoyun's eyes flashed with golden light, and the front of the empty semicircular fortress seemed to shake slightly, like water ripples, and his heart moved, this underground palace was protected by a layer of enchantment.

But when I think about it, I take it for granted, and I naturally don't want to be disturbed by outsiders, although the rules of the military are strict, just in case there is always nothing wrong, after all, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

If it was really a blind guy who broke into the dungeon and disturbed the disciple's cultivation at the most critical moment, it would really be worth the loss, so it was necessary to run an enchantment, at least the consumption of some spars was more acceptable than the loss of a well-cultivated disciple.

There is a door in front of the dungeon facing the side of the mountain road, the open door, there is a steady stream of disciples entering or coming out, and the trace disappears when passing through the magic circle, this magic circle actually has the effect of hiding the figure, it is really wonderful.

"Let's go too. Xu Daoyun couldn't wait to get up, and the three of them immediately walked up.

Xu Daoyun raised his hand and touched it on the invisible barrier, Ding Deming showed surprise on his face, and asked with a smile: "Senior Brother Daoyun, what are you doing?

Xu Daoyun smiled but didn't answer, passed through the enchantment, stepped through the open door of the underground palace, thought that it would be dark and gloomy inside, but the moment he crossed the threshold, there was another scene of heaven and earth in front of him.

There is no resplendent of gold, nor is it as delicate as the ashram, but it is just a large boundless square, with a notch in the middle of the square, and a desk stands around it on both sides, and many people stand behind the desk to deal with all kinds of requests for the disciples, of course, only for retreat.

The three of them came to the desk in front of an old man with white hair and stood down, and arched their hands and said, "Senior, we are here to retreat and cultivate in the underground palace. ”

The old man raised his head and looked at Xu Daoyun and the three of them, and finally his eyes fell on Tie Niu, and said, "Are all three of them in retreat?"

Xu Daoyun shook his head, "No, no, it's just him." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pushed the iron bull forward.

The old man nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, give me the disciple jade plate." ”

Tie Niu took out the disciple's jade plate from the Qiankun bag and handed it over, the old man's fingertips lightly touched the jade plate, and handed it back, saying, "It's okay, now you can go to the underground palace." ”

Xu Daoyun patted Tie Niu's waist, and Tie Niu arched his hand and said, "Remember." ”

"Go ahead. The old man waved his hand.

Xu Daoyun took the iron ox to the notch in the center of the main hall, looked into the notch, and his eyes lit up, the floor of this notch was painted with strange runes, and there seemed to be wisps of light blue energy flowing from the entangled silk threads of the structure.

Tie Niu glanced at the young man with the back box, Xu Daoyun smiled at him, pointed to the notch and said, "Without further ado, hurry up." ”

"Hmm. Iron Bull nodded, and the tall figure leaped down and fell into the notch.

A faint yellow light emitted when he landed, and the lines that were tangled in the formation also lightly emitted blue light, and two strange rays of light wrapped Tie Niu's huge body.

Suddenly, I felt that the air was gently condensed, and the air waves flickered slightly, and when I looked at the notch again, the golden and light blue rays had disappeared, and the dark-skinned, tall tower-like boy disappeared.

Xu Daoyun was surprised: "This... That's over?"

Ding Deming said with a smile: "Haha, Senior Brother Daoyun doesn't know, the stone cast by this notch is not an ordinary stone, but a stone called the formation stone, the formation seems to be no different from ordinary stones when it is not running, once the formation is running, this stone is like turning into a phantom, Senior Brother Tie Niu was just introduced to the underground palace under our feet by this formation stone, and I think that now I have begun to retreat in the selection of caves." ”

"I see. Xu Daoyun suddenly realized, and then asked: "There should be many caves in this underground palace for disciples to retreat, but I don't know what is the difference between this cave and the cave?"

"There will definitely be a difference, after all, it is a magic circle, it is inevitable to take care of one or the other, but it is not much worse. But the retreat dungeon of this outer disciple cannot be compared with the cave house where the inner disciple retreats, let alone the elite disciples and core disciples. ”

"Understood. ”

The two of them left the retreat dungeon, Xu Daoyun said goodbye and left, and he also had to hurry up his cultivation.
