Chapter 582: Into the Sword Pool
In Mo Li's heart of this kind of sword cultivation, they only cultivate one sword in their lives, and they can only cultivate this sword to the highest sword path of dual cultivation of life, which can be regarded as a success, jianzhen Yunyun, it is just a trivial matter for them, but for Gu Yan, this is an extremely useful thing. She was ingenious and refined the five spirit flags and her Nine Xuantian Soldiers together, which was to condense a new formation, which could be distributed at hand and come and go freely without the need for a large amount of effort like a formation map.
This was only after the earth-shattering plan was destroyed. Since ancient times, there is only the lowest one, which needs to be used outside the formation flag, and the rest must be matched with the array plate or formation diagram, first to stabilize the four dimensions of heaven and earth, fix the direction in the formation, and then apply various means. But whether it is a formation plate or a formation diagram, it has its own weaknesses, the amount of aura carrying, and the changes are dull, Gu Yan was also inspired by the unique flag gate in the way of the Cangwu formation, and decided to sacrifice a new formation. But I haven't been able to find any material to look for. To this day, she has obtained these five spirit flags in the Heavenly Pavilion.
She had a faint feeling that these five spirit flags were most likely from the Demon Gate back then, or they might have come from the hands of the amazing Purple Ink Demon Venerable. The smart change of these five flags is the change of the magic weapon she has seen, but when it is used as a formation, the direction is difficult to resist, and the foundation is uncertain, so it is very easy to be broken by others, so she thought of entering the formation with a sword, borrowing the Nine Xuantian Soldiers to fix the position, and entering the formation with sword qi, the two are combined, and it can increase the power in the formation.
It's just that there are a few mysteries that are difficult to solve, so that Gu Yan can't think about it hard, in the Sword Trial Hall, when she saw this Great Xuantian Chapter, she immediately felt like a treasure, which was written by a monk of the Hidden Sword Villa back then. The meridians in his body were born with defects, and with great perseverance, he barely cultivated into a Yuan Infant. But after all, he can no longer advance an inch, knowing the limit of longevity, he pins his affection on these foreign roads. In this Great Xuantian Chapter. He recorded his life's understanding on it, not only the method of jianzhen. There is also how to refine the sword, find the sword, and explore the treasure hunt for the spiritual vein, in Zuihou, as well as some anecdotes recorded in his life. Gu Yan couldn't help but sigh, this volume can be called an encyclopedia.
For Gu Yan, who is compatible with cultivation, this book is no different from a treasure book, and she first read the Jianzhen technique carefully. The rest is slowly put away. Then he began to practice his Phantom Sword Spirit Banner Technique.
At the beginning, she had already fused the spirit flag with the nine heavenly soldiers, but how to do it as she wished, and how to operate as one, still needed to be constantly refined, looking for the most suitable method, this month, in addition to taking out three days, with the temporarily idle Su Man arrow to swim in the Tiger Hill, she lived in the room. Concentrate on refining your own jianzhen.
These days, Shen Mengli seems to be very busy, not only has he not come to look for her, but he rarely even goes out with Sheng Hualan. When that little girl was fine, she could only quarrel with Jiang Yaojia. And Qin Mingyue mostly just watched quietly from the sidelines, occasionally persuading her.
Fang Shuo was also in retreat, devoting himself to refining his black gold sand, Qin Feng was very familiar with Jiang Yaojia, but Gu Yan felt that this kind of superficial familiarity did not seem to be reliable.
That Elder Yue Jiu Xiyue had come to Gu Yan twice, and mentioned the matter of helping each other, Gu Yan also said a few perfunctory words, this kind of secret realm trial is a matter of life and death, if anyone really believes in this kind of agreement, then it is the brain that is in water.
The work of January passed in a blink of an eye, and on this day, Su Manjian came to summon him, saying that the sword washing pool would be opened in two days, so that they could get ready.
Gu Yan then packed up her magic weapons and other things one by one, and put them away carefully, in this month, she sacrificed jianzhen, but also opened the furnace to refine two furnaces of pills, especially a kind of elixir that she matched with Danyan and called herself Qingming Pill, which is the spirituality of the fire of the Qing Ying that she embodied in the year, and turned into the pill to avoid the evil spirit, which can be regarded as a nostalgia for the fire spirit that has passed away.
Early in the morning of this day, she got up early and followed Su Manjian to the main hall in front.
She saw that Su Manjian was also dressed in short clothes and carrying a sword bag, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Do you also have a share this time?" ”
Su Manjian said with a smile: "Exactly, I have been trapped in the middle of the Yudan for a long time, Master's meaning, let me enter the sword washing pool in advance, looking for opportunities, not only me, a year later, the sword washing pool will be opened again, and there will be a group of disciples to enter at that time, this time the sword washing pool will be opened three times in a row, it is really something that has never happened before." ”
Gu Yan was thinking, Yunchi Sword Venerable's move violated the tradition of the Tibetan Sword Villa, I don't know if it was related to the book handed down by Shen Mengli?
However, this time, perhaps because there were too many of them in this group, the disciples of the mountain villa who entered with them were only Su Manjian alone.
When she arrived at the front, Gu Yan found that the main hall, which had not been opened since she came to the villa, was finally opened today, and above the main hall, the nine-leaf golden lotus throne was raised, and a Taoist with long eyebrows sat on it. He looked just a middle-aged man, with a pair of sword eyebrows and long sideburns, as if he was about to fly through the air, adding a three-point killing aura to his peaceful face. On his side, on one side was Ye Yunting, and on the other side was a red-faced man he had never seen before, with a rough appearance, just sitting there, silent, looking dignified. Gu Yan thought about it, the one in the middle was the Yunchi Sword Venerable who had heard his voice but had never met.
The three sword venerables of the infant stage were promoted, and the scene was naturally solemn and extraordinary. It's just that I didn't see Mo Li's figure. After that day, Gu Yan went to the Sword Trial Hall again, but found that it was already closed, and asked the others, but no one knew if Yunli Sword Venerable was still in the Sword Trial Hall, or if he went elsewhere. Mo Li has always been elusive, even Su Man Arrow doesn't know his whereabouts, and Yunchi Sword Venerable, as long as this junior brother doesn't cause trouble, then everything is enough.
Gu Yan followed Su Manjian and sat down in his seat, and found that everyone had arrived, Shen Mengli was still sitting opposite with a gentle smile, and under him, Sheng Hualan, Qin Mingyue, Fang Shuo, and Jiang Yaojia lined up in turn.
Gu Yan's side was Yue Jiuxi, but Qin Feng didn't sit on their side, he sat beside Jiang Yaojia, and the two of them turned their heads sideways and whispered from time to time, looking very intimate.
Su Manjian walked in front of Yun Chi, handed over the order to him, and sat down under Gu Yan's head, she said in a low voice, "The one next to Master." It was Senior Uncle Yunyue, he specialized in cultivating the Xuantie Heavy Sword, and his murderous aura was the heaviest. ”
Gu Yan thought of the Xuantie card that Lin Feng had used. Dark iron is the heaviest thing in the world's hardware, and a small piece weighs as much as 10,000 catties. This Yunyue Sword Venerable was actually able to refine it into a big sword. Its power can be known regardless of asking. Just looking at him sitting there, dignified as a mountain, it really doesn't look like a murderous aura. But Gu Yan's heart was even more vigilant, the so-called rigid cannot be guarded, soft cannot be long, this sword venerable. Obviously, the strong qi has been refined nine times and thousands of times, and it has been mellowed, and the most rigid place has turned into the softest, and Ye Yunting's kind of sword path that combines rigidity and softness and goes hand in hand is another way.
Gu Yan has only seen the faces of the four sword masters today, although they are all sword ways, but everyone's cultivation method is different. Each of them has attained enlightenment, which has a lot to learn from, and she has also realized it with her heart, and she has gained a lot.
I was thinking about it casually. Yun Chi had already spoken, and his voice was as peaceful and pleasant as Gu Yan had heard last time, "Today's reopening of the Sword Washing Pool is also a grand event in this sect, so I invite you to watch the ceremony." If you don't dislike it, you can go down and give it a try. Limited to March, it will open at that time, and the opportunity will be sought. ”
These people all stood up and saluted: "I respectfully obey the order of the Sword Venerable!" ”
Yun Chi waved his hand, and Gu Yan saw that in his hand, he was holding a jade ruler, which was divided into nine sections, and each bone joint was slightly glowing with gold, and he raised his hand and struck a heavy blow towards the void. I heard the sound of "dang", which was crisp and pleasant, and everyone's spirits were lifted.
Then countless birds flew up in the sky and fell towards the sword-washing pool in front of the mountain. The clouds and mist were steaming on the surface of the pool, and suddenly there was a small hill, slowly rising from the bottom of the pool.
The throne under the Yunchi Sword Venerable rose into the air and flew outward, and everyone also flew out with it, and came to the sky above the Sword Washing Pool, Yunchi said loudly: "In the past, the ancestor of the Tibetan Sword abandoned a hundred swords in the Sword Washing Pool, the true spirit is not tasteful, and it becomes a sword soul, my disciples, those who have an organic fate, can enter and take it, and the spirit of the ancestor will not be in vain!" ”
The jade ruler in his hand struck heavily and hit the top of the hill, but it was silent and silent, and then the mountain cracked silently, revealing a passage inside.
All the disciples gathered outside the sword washing pool bowed down at this time. The fairy music around them played, like a sound in the sky.
Su Manjian was the first to get up, she bowed three times to the mountain, and then flew up with the sword light and threw herself into the sword washing pool.
After all the nine people entered, the mountain was closed again, slowly falling, and the water surface of the sword washing pool returned to its previous calm.
Ye Yunting said at this time: "Although the Sword Washing Pool is a secret realm, after all, it is different from the ancient battlefield and the like, you can enter and exit at will without passing through the teleportation array, why should Senior Brother be so precious, and use the Yang Yuan Heavenly Ruler to open the jade steps?" ”
Yunchi Sword Venerable's two long eyebrows wrinkled slightly, "Now that Cangwu is an eventful autumn, I have to check it." ”
Yun Yue, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke at this time: "If you let those three Yunze monks in this way, it won't go wrong, right?" You must know that last time Senior Brother Yunli collapsed the leyline, the terrain below has changed greatly, especially in the cave where the Ten Thousand Laws Return to the Origin, it is even more dangerous step by step. Isn't it a bit risky? ”
Yun Chi replied: "The promise of the year must always be fulfilled, so just put it this time, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future." ”
The corners of Ye Yunting's mouth grinned, revealing a hint of a smile, "Not necessarily, I don't think that girl, she shouldn't come back empty-handed......"
When Gu Yan entered the Sword Washing Pool, she was very sure in her heart, she had already heard Su Man Arrow mention that although this place was also a secret realm, it was not another space isolated from heaven and earth like the ancient battlefield, but under the Tiger Hill, at least geographically, they were only less than a dozen miles away from the Four Sword Venerables. This made her heart very stable, she was only looking for an opportunity to come on this trip, but she didn't want to shout and kill again.
Although it is said that there are only hundreds of sword souls hidden in the sword washing pool, it does not mean that it is useless if there are no monks who practice kendo to come in. Otherwise, the young disciples of the Nine Great Sects would not have flocked to it like this. Because these sword souls that fall in the sword washing pool, in addition to being collected by sword cultivators as the sword of the sacrifice of the primordial life, they can also be directly collected into the magic weapon and become a god-like existence.
In ancient times, ordinary high-level magic weapons had instrument spirits, just like another doppelganger of the master, which could be used to operate magic weapons. Use by heart. It's just that in later generations, the method of refining the spirit of the instrument is gradually lost, and the spiritual energy resources are all scarce. There are fewer and fewer magic weapons with machine spirits, at least Gu Yan hasn't seen one yet.
And these sword souls in the sword washing pool, after being collected. It can replace the machine spirit and suppress the magic weapon. I heard about the great elder of the Vajra Gate back then. He once got a 10,000-bone dragon hammer overseas, which was extremely angry, and even his original yuan could not be suppressed, and later he begged to the Tibetan Sword Villa, and the owner of the village opened the sword washing pool for him, and found a wisp of sword soul in it, which was included in the hammer. As a magic weapon for the suppression of the machine spirit, it can be finally collected. So the nine people on this trip, except for Suman Arrow, all came with this idea.
And Gu Yan was no exception, she originally wanted to find a wisp of sword soul for her Tai'a Sword, as a weapon spirit to suppress the main sword, but now she changed her mind, and the phantom sword spirit banner she sacrificed, among them, took the heaviest bite of the Nine Xuantian Soldiers as the main sword, and centered on it. Mobilize the rest of the eight directions, according to the Great Xuantian Chapter, above this main sword, there must be a sword soul as a suppression. Otherwise, with the monk's own divine thoughts, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to count all the changes in jianzhen in an instant.
Everyone had their own thoughts, and when they entered the bottom of the pool, they found that there were countless pools of water around, and they all had ways to avoid the water, so they were naturally not afraid, and they moved forward slowly, and the blisters kept rising around, and the fish swam around freely, Shen Mengli smiled: "I only heard that the sword washing pool is extremely murderous, and every moonlit night is miserable, and the sword qi is rushing into the sky, and now it seems to be inaccurate, otherwise these fish, how can they be so free?" ”
Su Manjian smiled and said nothing, Fang Shuo said angrily: "I heard Master say that the source of the Sword Washing Pond is the living water that comes from nowhere, these fish all come from the shore of the sea, and they swim here for thousands of miles, and they will die if they don't live here for more than three days. ”
Shen Mengli smiled: "I see. "Since he came back from Gusu City, there seems to be an extra layer of separation between him and Fang Shuo, and he always feels that speaking is not so pleasant.
Sheng Hualan gave Fang Shuo a farewell, shook off Qin Mingyue to herself, walked to Shen Mengli's side, and said, "Senior Brother Shen, where should we go next?" ”
Shen Mengli said with a smile: "Coming here, Miss Su is a human being, how can she be a guest on behalf of the lord?" ”
At this time, everyone had fallen to the bottom of the sword washing pool, Su Manjian said: "Go forward again, it is the stone room opened up by the ancestor of the Tibetan sword, you can enter it, look at the ancestor's handwriting, experience the sword intent, and then, we will go to Xiangxia, where the thousands of holes, hidden sword soul, we each find an opportunity, and take it." The master has set a date for March, and I think it is enough. ”
Gu Yan clasped her hands, stood aside, listened to their chat, looked at the surrounding water, countless fish swimming freely, seaweed corals everywhere, a different scenery, and couldn't help but think: Among the secret and dangerous places she has entered in the past, this trip is the most relaxed, no different from the usual outing, I hope this time I can also return safely. Counting the days, her disciple silently said that he was not far from leaving the pass, and he went back to guide her to build the foundation.
Together with Qin Feng, Jiang Yaojia, who was standing on the other side, suddenly spoke at this time. The two of them have become more and more intimate these days, going in and out of each other, talking and laughing unscrupulously, and Qin Feng seems to have changed his usual stubborn temper, being cautious, gentle and considerate, obviously this female disciple of Yunshang Valley has a good eye for him.
It's just that her voice is a little cold, and it doesn't seem to be as cute as her appearance, "I heard that the Sword Washing Pool was closed due to an accident back then, and it was reopened several times after that, I don't know if it's true?" ”
Su Manjian's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "That's an old matter of the master, rarely mentioned it, and Man Arrow doesn't know." ”
Shen Mengli diverted the topic and said, "Okay, let's go and pay homage to the old traces of the Tibetan Sword Patriarch first, and it's not too late to talk about the rest of the things slowly." ”
Led by Suman's arrows, the crowd should be the first to move forward.
The more they moved forward, the more low-lying the terrain became, as if they were circling the loop one by one, and then they continued to xiangxia, and even the water vapor slowly became thinner. Gradually, it was all air, the traces of water were no longer visible, and the fish were gone, but the seaweed turtles and the like were still crawling on the ground, and sometimes they would step on shells, Gu Yan couldn't help but think wildly: Could it be that this place is like Nantianmen, and it is actually connected to the sea eye?
At this time, Sheng Hualan suddenly said: "Ah, it's so beautiful!" ”
In front, under the cover of a piece of turquoise water vapor, there is a large area of incomparably smooth and white sand that cannot be seen at a glance, and fine shells are dotted among them, as if there is no place around, inlaid with countless crystals, emitting a crystal and translucent brilliance, shining here with jewels and colorful colors.
Gu Yan seemed to have returned to the Pearl Palace Beique again, she took a deep breath, she only felt free and free, looking around, one by one the ancient trees were towering to the sky, and under the big trees, there were rows of houses, "If you want to come here, it is the sword room built by the ancestor of the Tibetan Sword back then, right?" ”
Su Manjian nodded with a smile, "Yes, back then, the Tibetan Sword Patriarch set up more than 100 sword rooms here, originally intended to be a place for the younger disciples to cultivate, but later abandoned for some reason, but in each sword room, there is the handwritten sword intent left by the ancestor back then. ”
Shen Meng left the interface and said: "I heard that everyone is here, they must first pay homage to the true works of the Tibetan Sword Patriarch, how about asking Miss Su to lead the way?" ”
Su Manjian made a "please" gesture, and everyone moved forward together, from left to now, from near to far, looking from the first stone room.
Gu Yan stood in the middle of the crowd, and entered in turn, and the nine people arrived in the first stone room, and on the front, there was a Taoist with a long sword in his hand, which was a portrait carved by the ancestor of the Tibetan sword, and everyone knelt down in front of the statue and bowed down to worship. Subsequently, in each stone room, there are more than ten pictures engraved, on which are the Tibetan sword ancestor making sword postures, some tactfully low back, some heavy as a mountain, and some want to fly through the air.
Su Man's arrow was also the first time to enter here, she looked at those sword postures with great concentration, and secretly realized in her heart, as for the others, they mostly watched things over and over again.
Gu Yan looked at these sword momentums, as if he had an understanding. Although she is not a sword cultivator, and she can't see through the true meaning embodied in these sword movements, but after watching it like this, she always feels a little familiar, and she can't tell where it is......
There are thousands of these hundreds of stone chambers, just the carved sword momentum, there are as many as a thousand, and everyone looks at them in turn, and it takes three days. Although these sword gestures are also recorded in the Sword Dictionary, the gestures of the Tibetan Sword Patriarch, which carries his understanding of the way of the sword, are not comparable to the dry and straightforward explanations in the Sword Dictionary. Su Manjian realized here with his heart, although everyone just took a look, but they also gained something. It was not until the end of the three days that they resigned from here and moved on.
After this white sand beach, the terrain in front of you suddenly steepened. Su Manjian said: "This place is still haode, through the canyon in front, it is the 'Ten Thousand Caves' where the sword soul gathers, after so many years of accumulation, there are countless demon beasts infested there, many types, all of which have not been seen in the cangwu, everyone must be careful." ”
Shen Mengli said at this time: "I have a question, I don't know if everyone will go their separate ways or get together in a while?" ”
Sheng Hualan snorted, pulled Qin Mingyue's arm, and dragged her here, "I think it's better to split up, lest everyone get together and some people will be in the eyes." ”
Jiang Yaojia smiled faintly, unlike Sheng Hualan, she was tall and tall, and her temperament was even more lonely, from the inside out, there was a cold aura, so Qin Feng was able to get close to her, which made Gu Yan feel very surprised, I don't know how these two people saw the right eye.
"I think it's the same, Brother Shen, you do all the way, I do all the way, I won't have any opinions, right?"
Shen Mengli said with a smile: "Senior Sister Jiang is serious. I do have an idea, please refer to it. I think the bottom of the pond is a thousand holes, everyone is a newcomer, why not divide into three roads, walk in turn, meet again every ten days, report a knowledge, and then rotate, there is a chance to talk. lest we come in vain. ”
His words, everyone praised it, and it also avoided the dispute between the two women, Gu Yan couldn't help but admire Shen Mengli in his heart, this person can always do things without leakage, and he treats all parties very thoughtfully, which can be called exquisite, the people she has seen, probably only Yuan Zitan can compare with it, in comparison, Qin Feng is too stubborn. Such as Wei Jue and others are not worth mentioning. (To be continued)
