Chapter 20: Entering the Sword Shrine for the First Time
Cultivators need to keep their minds tightly in their cultivation, and they often don't know the cold and heat of the outside world, and they often close their eyes and open them again, and they don't know how many years have passed.
Lu Li sat cross-legged, his five hearts facing the sky, and between his breaths, there was a pale white sword qi at the end of his nose.
His beard grew so luxuriantly that it should have not been tended for months, in terms of human life.
In the square, most cultivators are like this, using their different exercises to absorb the pure sword qi that is ubiquitous in heaven and earth in order to strengthen themselves.
Those who practice mysteriously, swallow and exhale sword qi like a long whale drawing water, which is extremely spectacular.
Those who are slightly inferior in their exercises can only accumulate a small amount and absorb sword qi one by one, although the speed is slow, but they are also steadily improving their cultivation.
Judgment from above
And some exercises are not good at increasing the "qi", and insisting on absorbing sword qi with this is tantamount to drawing water with a bamboo basket, which is just a futile effort.
Unfortunately, Void Condensing Sword Walk falls into this category.
As an auxiliary exercise, "Void Condensing Sword Practice" cannot be used to breathe cultivation and improve cultivation, and the killing power is even more minimal.
It is only because of the unique nature of the space that it is stored on the one hundred and sixth floor of the Sword Tower.
To say that you don't regret it, that's false.
Lu Li was still using his own exercises to cultivate at this time, and his efficiency was so slow that among nearly a hundred cultivators, it was a must.
"Why was I fascinated by the word 'Sword Saint' everywhere? Isn't it good to choose the "Dawei Heart Sutra" or the "Heavenly Dragon Forging Body Divine Skill"? Alas, the ancient sword misunderstood my ......."
Lu Li sighed and broke away from his cultivation state.
He sadly discovered that in terms of "qi" alone, he might already be the lowest existence among nearly a hundred cultivators.
"Not to mention those guys who have been practicing in the Sword Sect for decades, Shangguan Tingxue alone, there have been such big changes in just a few months, and with that divine sword, I must no longer be her opponent. ”
The more Lu Li thought about it, the more angry he became, and he slammed his palm on the cyan slate, making a muffled "bang".
"It's really unpleasant, I really want to find someone to fight? Yes, find someone to fight!" Lu Li thought about it, he got up, came to Ye Shengqing's side, and asked, "Brother Ye, are you tired after sitting for a long time?" Do you want to have a fight and move your muscles?"
Ye Shengqing closed his eyes and practiced, turning a deaf ear, and seemed to be in a state of concentration.
"Hey, it's boring. Lu Li shook his head, rose against the wind, looked around, and chose the target.
He suddenly saw a gray-white robe, bald and bearded Tianyan Clansman sitting cross-legged not far away, Lu Li raised his sword eyebrows, and flew towards the Tianyan Clansman's wind.
Ace was still looking at the starry sky, his eyes were full of light, and he seemed to have an understanding.
Lu Li immediately glanced at the sky, and couldn't see anything except the stars.
Lu Li said: "Ace, do you want to compare and compare, let me see the ability of the 'heart' martial artist." ”
Ace smiled and shook his head, "The sword mound will be opened, it is better to retain the strength and expose the details less." ”
"It's boring, it's boring. Lu Li was a little disappointed, and then he asked, "When will the Sword Shrine be opened?"
"It's almost ......" Ace grabbed his quaint jade, confirmed the time, and said with a smile: "Maybe, it's now." ”
As his words fell, a shadow suddenly appeared on the ground of the square, and the shadow expanded rapidly, and in the roaring sound of breaking the air, I saw a stone gate landing on the square.
The strong sense of vibration startled every cultivator, and the nearly 100 people present turned their attention to the stone gate that fell from the sky.
It was a ten-zhang tall stone door, gray-white as a whole, and inscribed with many mysterious runes.
Lu Li, who first knew the runes, concentrated on it, stared at the past, and found that a small part of the runes on the stone gate involved space, and he couldn't understand more runes at all, and forcibly memorizing them would only make his mind dizzy.
On top of the ten-zhang stone gate, a figure sat with his legs crossed, his skin was the color of the dumplings, he had messy black hair, on the left side of his head, a red horn pointed to the left, and the right side was empty, looking very twisted.
He resembles a human, sitting cross-legged on a large stone door, looking very small.
However, this person's sense of existence was very strong, and he had a terrifying aura that people couldn't ignore, and in the eyes of nearly a hundred cultivators, it was even more noticeable than that huge stone gate.
"He is the Warden of the Sword Shrine, and he is said to be the strongest person closest to the Sword Saint. Ace explained to Lu Li that the forces behind him had information about many powerhouses in the Sword Sect, and Ace had memorized it in advance so that he would have the opportunity to make friends in the future.
The Sword Shrine Keeper looked around, his thin lips opened and closed slightly, and his slightly hoarse voice suddenly spread throughout the square, clearly reaching the ears of every cultivator:
"The sword mound will be opened, and there are three things you need to know. First, fighting is allowed in the Sword Shrine, but the killer is forbidden, and the violator is expelled from the Sword Sect. ”
"Second, there is danger in the sword mound, if you feel the danger, you can retreat to the oasis by yourself, and you can save your life without worry. ”
"Third, there is another guardian in the sword mound, he has a fierce temperament, if you accidentally provoke him, kneel on the ground and beg for mercy to avoid death, otherwise you will be responsible for life and death. ”
With that, he suddenly dropped his palm and slapped it on top of the huge stone door, which shook violently, and the door to the opposite door "clicked" and slowly opened.
The cultivators were eager to try, their eyes fixed on the slowly opening stone door, as if as long as the crack in the door was larger, they would be the first to rush in and take the lead.
"Do you want to go first?" Lu Li looked around and saw that some cultivators were eager to try, and some were in a hurry, so Lu Li was a little undecided, and asked Ace next to him.
The information about the sword mound flashed in his heart, Ace smiled mysteriously, and said to Lu Li: "You'll know later." ”
As the huge stone door gradually opened, a sudden huge suction force suddenly came out of the door.
This suction force was so huge that all the cultivators present could not resist at all, and they all involuntarily threw themselves at the stone gate, and in just a few seconds, nearly a hundred cultivators all disappeared.
At this time, all that remained in the square was the huge stone gate that had been re-closed, and the guardian of the sword mound leaning on it.
The firstborn one-horned sword mound guardian sat against the door, looking at the Tongtian Sword Tower that covered the sky and the sun, "Tongtian, don't you come out to reminisce about the past?"
After a moment of silence, an indifferent and grand voice suddenly sounded: "We are prisoners under the ranks, and we have been in a cage for thousands of years. ”
The Sword Shrine Guardian said: "You are still so paranoid, if we are not in the seal of the Sword Sect, just our own existence will bring devastating monstrous disasters to the Cosmos Clans, through the sky, don't you know this?"
The grand voice rarely carried a little anger, and it was no longer indifferent, "We gave up our free bodies just for the continuation of those ant-like universal races? ”
The Sword Shrine Guardian shook his head and said, "I am blessed to be born, I am born strong, and I should take on the responsibility of balancing the universe......"
A loud voice suddenly sounded, interrupting: "Your soul is divided into two, and I have nothing to say to your pure good thoughts. ”
With that, the loud voice was no longer heard, leaving the silence and silence to the Sword Shrine Guardian.
......
In the midst of a primeval dense forest with lush vegetation, there stands a huge stone gate ten feet high.
The stone gate was already open at this time, and nearly a hundred figures were thrown over from the other side of the door.
Lu Li's volley body landed steadily after a circle.
Beneath your feet is a damp, muddy, overgrown ground surrounded by towering trees and all kinds of green vegetation. Lu Li looked around and found that nearly a hundred cultivators had come to the dense forest, and the tall stone gate had been closed again.
At the top of the ten-zhang high stone gate, there was also a figure, his appearance was almost exactly the same as the sword shrine guardian in the square, except that his skin was pale, and the red horn on the top of his head was facing to the right.
The Sword Shrine Guardian had a lazy voice and said to the nearly hundred cultivators in the forest, "Ants, go treasure hunting, let me see who can find the biggest 'candy'." ”
The people present are all elites of all ethnic groups, and many of them are arrogant.
Immediately, someone shouted angrily: "Stronger than the Sword Saint and don't regard us as ants, you are just a gatekeeper, how dare you be so blind?"
Seeing someone coming forward, someone around immediately chimed in: "Yes, don't deceive people too much!"
There was also a gloomy voice in the crowd: "Dogs and people are just like that." The voice was erratic, and I don't know who caused it.
The Sword Shrine Guardian looked at a towering ancient tree and said with a wicked smile, "Hide, hide, damn it." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, behind the towering ancient tree, a short figure hiding fell out with a "poof".
The man had short limbs, shaped like a dwarf, and was clutching his throat at this time, his expression was painful and hideous, his eyes were fixed in the direction of the stone gate, and he died completely without a few struggles.
The nearby monks were in an uproar, not only did they not see how the Sword Shrine Guardian attacked, but they couldn't even see through the cause of the dwarf's death.
And the unknown is always the scariest.
The Sword Shrine Guardian rolled his eyes, and then looked at the cultivator who came out first, and before he could speak, the cultivator had already "slammed" to his knees and begged for mercy again and again, and there was still a little bit of arrogance before.
The guardian of the sword mound looked around, and when he saw that no one dared to look at him, he felt a little bored, waved his hand, and said as if driving away a swarm of mosquitoes: "Get out, ants." ”
Nearly 100 monks were granted amnesty, some rose to the sky, some jumped into the dense forest, and each of them quickly moved away from the stone gate and the guardian of the sword shrine who sat high on the stone gate.
......
Lu Li ran through the dense forest, the surrounding scenery swept back rapidly, but there were always two people beside him, on the left was his friend Ye Shengqing, and on the right was the Tianyan Clan's "heart" martial artist - Ace.
Ace temporarily made up his mind and invited: "I have a secret method, I can quickly hunt for treasures, can you two be interested in acting together?"
Ye Shengqing asked rhetorically, "Why did you invite us?"
Ace said: "There are many dangers in the sword mound, sometimes there are many people and they may not be powerful, I know that the two of them are both ascenders, whether it is experience or ability, they must be very outstanding......"
Lu Li interrupted his words and said bluntly: "How to divide the account when you find the treasure?"
