Chapter 36: Descending the Mountain

On the stone bed of the cave, Xie Lan woke up slowly, "Are you dead?" Where is it? ”

Looking at the familiar cave, trying to move his hands and feet, thinking about the moment before he fell unconscious, the palpitating pain still left an afterimage in his mind, Xie Lan lay on the stone bed, and recalled carefully, Am I not in Canglang Cave, as soon as I entered the cave, I seemed to see the Nine Turns Thunder Dragon Formation that I had broken through before, was that another formation? It should be yes, I suffered again, I didn't stand it or passed out in a coma, I must have walked in vain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info shook his head, trying to get rid of the grogginess left by the previous pain, and suddenly the corner of his eye swept to something:

The rectangular flat body, more than a meter long, about six inches (one inch and three centimeters) wide, about half a finger thick, the surface is pitted, the whole body is dark and actually exudes bursts of luster in the dark hole, it is a kind of black deep luster, about one-third of the end is raised to both sides, and then bundled into a flat cylinder, about the thickness of a child's arm, through the faint light from the hole, wrapped with a layer of yellow dead grass. This is a sword, a broken sword?

Xie Lan was a little pleased, it seemed that the trip to Canglang Cave was not for nothing, he jumped up, holding the hilt of the sword, at first glance, he was shocked, this broken sword, at least more than three hundred catties, Rao is Xie Lan's physique is strong, and his wrist strength is not as strong as Si, and he can't use this sword to cast any swordsmanship, he tried to input some spiritual power, the withered grass on the hilt of the sword suddenly grew wildly, instantly covering Xie Lan's entire arm holding the sword, a strong suction force began to tear the spiritual power in Xie Lan's body, and then devoured it wildly, Xie Lan's whole body was soft, Seeing the passage of spiritual power in his body and being powerless, Rao is Xie Lan's spiritual power in his body was twice as much as that of other late stage foundation building, and under this manic devouring, it only lasted for an hour.

Xie Lan smiled bitterly, why is it always me who is injured, he closed his eyes helplessly, is it going to be sucked dry this time? When the spiritual energy hidden in the twenty-seven acupuncture points and the attached meridian acupuncture points was completely depleted, the broken sword seemed to know that there was no spiritual power to absorb, so the grass silk that bound the entire arm became its original form.

Xie Lan suddenly felt that the weight of the sword had become lighter, about 100 catties, he used his simple physical strength to lightly slash, and the one-meter-thick stone bed silently turned into two halves, Xie Lan was immediately pleasantly surprised when he saw this scene, and secretly thought: It just so happens that at this time, my cultivation realm is no longer improving, so even if I have been using spiritual power to warm this sword, there is no loss.

After a few days of experiments, Xie Lan finally grasped the measure of using spiritual power to warm up this broken sword, he wrapped the broken sword layer by layer with the beast skin in the mountain, carried it on his back, and divided the spiritual power absorbed every moment into two strands, one hundred and thirteen, three for his own cultivation, and seven degrees into the sword.

When the spiritual power was restored, Xie Lan picked up the broken sword, simply packed his luggage, glanced at the place where he had been staying for more than ten years, and resolutely walked towards the Canglang Cave in the back mountain. Along the way, the green mountains and green waters are still the same, but some flower petals are withering, even if the four seasons are like spring, the flowers have an end of time.

Next to Canglang Cave, in front of the bamboo house, a kind back in the sunlight made Xie Lan have a slightly desolate illusion, Xie Lan bowed deeply, for a long time, a voice came: "This sword name is called Heavenly Punishment, it was originally a divine sword, but it is not allowed in this world, and it will be broken by the Nine Heavens of the Divine Tribulation, although the grade is reduced, but it is also the genus of the best spirit sword, since it has chosen you, then, you must not fall into its prestige." ”

"Heavenly punishment, good name, heavenly injustice, then it will be punished on behalf of heaven, or, punish heaven." As if agreeing with Xie Lan's words, the broken sword made a crisp sound.

"However, before reaching the golden pill, try not to show its power. So what are your plans for going down the mountain this time? ”

"I don't have a concrete idea yet, just walk around and have a look."

"Then go north. I've measured it a little, and the north is the best for you. Isn't your hometown over there? You don't want to go back and see? ”

"Elder Taishang, I do have such a plan, but I am not in a hurry."

"Well, at this time, some tasks of the division, you see, if you are lucky enough to encounter it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, remember the location, and there are corresponding division rewards."

"Yes."

"I know that you are good by nature, but I still have to warn you, don't be evil."

"Well, don't worry, I won't."

"That's all, this is some of the things that your junior brother Ma Qiang prepared for you, all of which you may use, and you have been practicing hard work in my Qingxuanmen for ten years, and there is a supply of spirit stones every month, and those spirit stones have been exchanged for useful items for your senior brother Ma in Shanxiafang City, all of which are in this Zhai Yun bracelet, and this Zhai Yun bracelet was also obtained by me by chance, so I gave it to you.

"Elder Taishang Xie." Xie Lan's eyes were full of tears, and he saluted again, and he continued, "On the side of Senior Brother Ma, the disciple needs to go and say hello." ”

"No need, after preparing these things a few days ago, he started to cultivate, preparing to attack the golden pill, thinking that he was already in retreat at this time."

"And so, the disciple left."

"Go ahead."

Xie Lan silently saluted again, turned around and left.

The rich verdant whistled in his ears, and a gust of wind swept up in the calm air, and a young man dressed as a hunter stepped on his sword, his long shawl hair fluttering in the wind, and his clothes were also hunting in the wind, and he carried a wide package behind his back, which was wrapped in animal skin, and when he saw the hilt of the sword woven from withered yellow grass silk exposed to the outside, you knew that it was a wide short sword.

This young man is Xie Lan, he stopped at the periphery of the Qingxuan Mountain Range, and if he went further, he would reach a place where there were people, he calmed down his breath a little, only a cup of tea, and the spiritual power in his body was already slightly weak, it seems that it is better not to fly with the sword than Jin Dan or as a last resort. patted the heavenly punishment behind him, brother, brother, why can't I put you into the space magic weapon Zhai Yun bracelet that Elder Taishang just gave me, it is indeed a bit eye-catching in the crowd to carry it like this. Glancing at the light blue veins on his wrist, he was secretly grateful to Senior Brother Ma in his heart, because this time, except for some jade slips given by Elder Taishang, all the remaining things were prepared by Senior Brother Ma, including one hundred taels of broken silver, more than a dozen sets of changing clothes, and the spirit stones I had distributed in the past ten years were replaced with many useful things, including some spirit runes, and some gadgets that Xie Lan didn't know, and there were actually ten altars of Hundred Flowers Spirit Brew and ten altars of bamboo leaf green.

Xie Lan glanced back at the endless Qingxuan Mountain Range, tightened the package on his body, and strode towards the north. At this time, it was already the twilight of summer, when it was nearly evening, I was accustomed to seeing the pine waves, I came out of the mountain, and met a kind of cold-tolerant tree, the leaves were green on one side, white on the other, the wind swallowed, the leaves of the mountain were overturned, only a little silver light splashed around, where the clouds opened, the red and white sky and the mountain under the sunset opened a bright screen like ruby red on the left side. Xie Lan had been lying under a tree for half an hour, and along the way, the joy in his heart seemed to be floating, and when he approached the village and town in front of him, his heart was a little nervous, so he simply found a shady place to rest for a while.

After enjoying the beautiful scenery for half an hour, he was about to get up and continue his journey, when he found an old man rushing behind him, the old man faltered, holding a wine glass in one hand, and then muttered something, is it a strange person, but why didn't I feel the slightest fluctuation of aura, besides, obviously when I came over, there was only one road of nearly a hundred miles, and I didn't find anyone on the road at that time, with his half-drunk state, how could he catch up with me in half an hour, is there any other way?

Xie Lan listened intently, but heard the old man groaning: "Alas, what do you say that the old man can be busy with everyone's work, so he can be busy with everyone's leisure?" , you old things, it's clear that you're just squeezing me out. He scolded and took another sip of wine, "It's still good to have the contents of this cup, pour the day and night, invite Beidou, and get drunk with Haoyue, why bother with the mortal world." ”

Rubbing his worried eyes, the old man saw a young man of about twenty standing in front of him, "Hey, young man, your parents are dead?" ”

"How do you know?"

"Do you believe that I have been received? A shake of his head to know the birth of old age and illness, and a pinching of his fingers to count the future. Little friend, meeting is fate, can you invite me to have a drink? ”

It turned out that Xie Lan saw that the old man was quite weird, and took out a jar of bamboo leaves from Zhai Yun's bracelet early, but he was calmed by the old man's words for a while, and forgot about it, Xie Lan happily patted open the mud seal, and a faint fragrance filled the air, the old man's eyes lit up, put away the cup, snatched it with one hand, and drank it in a big gulp, "Happy, happy, good wine, good wine, Xiaoyou, thank you, thank you, you have a very good appetite for the old man, hehe, the old man is also a cultivator, is your cultivation too low, and it is not easy for you to scatter cultivation, it's just, Today, I will make an exception and give you a piece of immortal quotation, which will be counted as wine money. ”

The old man threw over two cards that looked like stones and not stones, and jade but not jade, and then ignored them anymore, and fell asleep under the big tree next to him.

Xie Lan took the two signs, and didn't see the reason, seeing that the old man was sleeping, it was not easy to disturb, so he threw the two brands into Zhai Yun's bracelet, and then looked at the old man who had already begun to snore, smiled bitterly, and walked north.

The old man turned over and muttered to himself: "Alas, there was a nine-nine pill tribulation first, and then the Nine Heavens Heart Demon spied on, I wanted to go to Qingxuanzong to see what was going on, but I didn't expect that the spiritual power in this world was so scarce, and someone could reach the refining period, amazing, the old man just wanted to make a move, and someone over there could actually sense me, forget it, don't be nosy, anyway, today's immortal caused a piece of it, it is not in vain, that kid is still quite honest, and his cultivation is enough to see, but it seems that the Dao heart is unstable, and if he wants to make progress, it is difficult." ”

The old man touched the immortal guide on his chest, and his face changed, "Why is it gone, there should still be a piece left, eh, don't you give those two pieces to Fang Cai's little friend, just let him go, the old man will sleep first." The wine just now was really good, and I didn't ask him if he had it. As he spoke, the old man fell into a deep sleep.
