I only heard a muffled sound, and I saw Li Ji fall straight down, like a kite with a broken string, falling to the ground.

Everyone gasped, and they all exclaimed, and hurriedly ran over to investigate.

Qifa Dao Chang's face showed a hint of suspicion and surprise, and he flew to Li Ji's side, only to see him lying weakly, his face was as pale as paper, his eyes were closed, and there were traces of blood on the corners of his mouth, as if he was seriously injured, and he held a red long sword in his hand, and the long sword emitted a penetrating red light from time to time.

Qifa Dao Chang quickly took out the strong spiritual power in his body from the dantian, poured all of it into the palm of his hand, pressed the Fengmen acupoint on Li Ji's back with one hand, slowly injected the spiritual power into his body, and forcibly suppressed the true qi that collided back and forth in his body back and forth into the dantian.

After a while, Daoist Qifa withdrew his palm and probed Li Ji's pulse again, only then did he relax slightly, the chaotic true qi in his body had returned to normal.

The Qifa Dao Master finally let out a sigh of relief and said, "Lao Qi can't practice the law, his true qi is disordered, and he almost goes mad." ”

"Little junior brother......" Xinyan suddenly called behind her, and said with concern, "Dad, is he okay?"

Daoist Qifa said angrily: "It's no big deal now! If you continue to teach you like this, I'm afraid something will really happen!"

He glanced at Xinyan lightly, it was this casual glance that made her heart afraid, as if the seeds of fear had been planted, and the seeds of fear continued to grow, making her heart more and more afraid.

It's just a moment.

Xinyan trembled with fright, her face turned pale, her eyes looked at the Qifa Daoist in horror, and she said in a trembling voice: "Yes... I'm sorry...... I ......"

"Did you teach the old seven advanced exercises without permission?"

"Yes......"

As soon as the words fell, only a crisp sound of "pop" was heard, and the Qifa Daoist raised his slap and flashed, and five fingerprints were already red on Xinyan's face.

He shouted, "You know what? You're hurting him, not helping him." ”

"Dad, I'm sorry, I knew I was wrong......"

Xinyan covered her hot cheeks, and glanced at the angry Qifa Daoist in a daze, but finally couldn't stand it, covered her face and cried and ran to the side.

Li Ji was woken up by a faint choking sound, and felt that someone was shaking him hard, so he slowly woke up, and saw the senior brothers surrounding him, and the master was standing aside with a gloomy face, and the crying sound was from Xinyan.

Li Ji immediately understood what was going on, struggled to stand up and said, "Master, it's not about senior sister, it's the disciple who doesn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, and uses the exercises indiscriminately, causing the true qi to go retrograde and go mad." ”

"Stinky boy, I haven't taught you a lesson, but you plead for your senior sister......

After speaking, he heard a crisp sound of "pop" again, and five fingerprints appeared on Li Ji's face, and the seven orifices of Qifa Dao were full of smoke, and said: "Hmph! You don't have to practice swords, go down the mountain tomorrow to pick up dung, the crops in the mountains also need nutrients." ”

Li Ji was slightly stunned, the master was really angry when he shot so hard! It seemed that he was still more suitable for the work of picking up dung, so he said in a low voice: "Yes, Master!"

When the Qifa Daoist heard this, he brushed his sleeves away even more angrily for some reason,

Li Ji said: "Senior brothers, I'm sorry, I made the master angry again, and I also messed up the good sword practice assessment." ”

Senior Brother Wei Hu said: "Senior brother, don't get in the way, now your body is important, let's go back and rest first! This grand event not only brings together all the elite disciples of Shenlong Villa, but also attracts the world's spiritual cultivation rookies to participate.

Li Ji nodded, feeling that what the senior brother said made some sense, if you want to practice the supreme sword technique and the dragon sword technique in such a short period of time, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky, and it is even more difficult to get the ranking of the competition!

Despite this, Li Ji felt a faint pain in his heart, and there was a trace of unwillingness, so he got up to say goodbye to the senior brothers and left sullenly.

Xinyan caught up from behind, helped him back to the Kamikaze Temple, and after walking for a while, she asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, what's the matter with you?"

"Senior sister, I don't know, when I used the Divine Dragon Sword Technique, there seemed to be a strange power rising in my body, and then I lost consciousness with a tightness in my chest. This time, I blamed my stupid qualifications and eagerness to achieve such a disaster. ”

"It doesn't matter, since Dad told you to rest for a while, you can rest in peace, but don't leave the exercises behind, remember to practice the mantras I taught diligently. ”

"Yes, Senior Sister. I will definitely listen to your teachings, and I will not dare to slack off in the slightest!"

After Xinyan finished explaining, she turned around and returned to the bamboo forest to practice her sword, while Li Ji returned to Kamikaze Temple alone and walked into his room.

Leaning in front of the windowsill, I couldn't help but reproach myself in my heart: Today, the master is unhappy, and the senior sister is also implicated, and they all blame me for being ignorant. If you can't learn swordsmanship, let alone cultivating immortals, you won't even be able to avenge your father's blood revenge. It's been two months since I left Ji'an County, and I still haven't achieved anything, I have no shame to face my father under Jiuquan, and I can't fulfill my eldest brother's repeated instructions......"

Sitting in front of the window and looking into the distance, in a daze, the sea of people is vast, where is the eldest brother? Thinking of this, I can't help but cry.

For parents, the greatest relief is that their children can get ahead. For myself, the greatest responsibility is to be able to keep my promises.

Listening to the whirring wind outside the window, like the sound of the senior brothers practicing swords, Li Ji was extremely envious, and always looked forward to the day when he could fly with a sword and dominate the situation.

After resting alone in the wing room for half a day, he saw that his body was fine, so he obeyed the master's order to go down the mountain to pick up dung.

Li Ji said goodbye to his master and walked down the mountain.

There had just been a light rain, and it had stopped, but it was still overcast, and fog began to rise on the road, and it was impossible to see anything in the distance.

"The future is uncertain, just like this fog that suddenly drifts in, is this my future?"

Li Ji was confused, he couldn't see the road ahead, so he could only cautiously wade through the secluded forest streams, over the towering mountains, and when the endless fog dissipated, he unconsciously came to a strange place.

He turned around in this strange place for half a circle, but he couldn't turn out, and he didn't expect to get lost in this huge mountain forest.

It was late at night, and the howl of the ghost wolf in the distance could still be faintly heard, Li Ji tightened the Chixiao Sword in his hand and quickened the pace under his feet.

After walking for a while, a point of light suddenly flashed in front of him, Li Ji was overjoyed, walked towards the point of light, walked in, and saw that it was a dilapidated temple, at this time the temple door was closed, and the light was revealed from inside.

As soon as he came to the temple gate, the light went out all of a sudden, and Li Ji felt a little strange: "Obviously, the lights inside were still on just now, why is it going out at this time?"

So he knocked on the door of the temple and shouted, "Is there anyone?"

There were a few shouts outside, but no one responded halfway.

The sky is dark, and strange beasts are rampant in the deep mountains and forests, and fierce beasts are attacking, which makes people unguardable. If a person walks rashly in the mountains and forests, it is also dangerous.

"The world is so big, there is no place for me? Buddha, everyone says that you are merciful and compassionate, and you want to turn all sentient beings away?"

Li Ji doesn't complain about others, he only complains about himself, he didn't practice his swordsmanship in Shennong Villa, he would get lost even picking up dung, if he was known by the senior brothers, he might have to laugh at him for a long time, and the master would be so angry that he would walk away.

Sometimes, even yourself get angry with yourself.

"Is it an abandoned temple?" Li Jihu hesitated for a while, pushed it in hard, and actually pushed it away.

With the help of the faint light of the stars, I saw a dilapidated temple, a dusty plaque with the words "Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas" written on it, an ancient attic, now dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, leaking walls, and the dilapidated statues inside were as dilapidated as the ruins of the temple.

However, the scale of the temple is extremely wide, just looking at the area, you can imagine how brilliant the temple used to be, and there are two giant dragons carved on the top of the door, which is so domineering.

When I walked in, there was no one in the house.

Li Ji secretly wondered in his heart: Why did the light suddenly disappear when there was a light just now, could it be the hallucination caused by today's true qi retrograde, going mad, and not yet healed?

After looking around a few more times, I found that there was nothing abnormal, so I gave up.

I found an open place, built a fire, and prepared to spend the night here, and then return to Shennong Villa after dawn.

After walking in the mountains and forests for most of the day, I was sweating, although I was a little tired, but my heart was no longer so depressed.

Li Ji was already hungry and poor at this time, so he took out the dry food from his arms, and under the scorching charcoal fire, a breeze blew, and a strong fragrance came to his nose.

"Amitabha! It's so fragrant!" The temple door was pushed open, and at this time, a person walked in from outside the door, wearing a gray robe and monk's robe, covering a robe, holding a large Zen staff, and his two eyes were blazing, quite a master's demeanor.

Li Ji's eyes fell on the old monk, and he saw that his sideburns, beard, and eyebrows were white, and he looked a little older than Shizun, so he quickly stood up and said: "Master, I took the liberty of disturbing your land, I got lost in the fog in the mountains, and it was getting late, so I hope I forgive me." ”

The old monk clasped his palms together and said: "Little donor, there is no need to be polite, the poor monk is also passing by here, seeing the firelight, and wants to take a rest in your temple." ”

Li Ji then invited the old monk to sit down with him, and said, "It turns out that the master was also lost due to the fog and accidentally found here. ”

The old monk didn't speak, silently counted the prayer beads, his long white beard fluttered in the wind, and after half a sound, he suddenly asked, "Little donor, are you alone?"

"Exactly, I picked up dung in this mountain, but today the mountain fog is quite heavy, I got lost, I borrowed a night here tonight, and left tomorrow. ”

The old monk glanced at him lightly, didn't say anything, suddenly stretched out his hand, as fast as lightning, and grabbed straight towards his left hand, Li Ji was taken aback, and said, "Master, what are you going to do?"

The old monk grabbed Li Ji's left hand tightly, let go after a while, couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Little donor, offended, the poor monk is in a hurry, and he can't help but be a little hungry in his belly, can you have a meal together?"

When Li Ji heard this, he smiled and said, "What should I do? Of course, come, I still have ...... on me."

As he spoke, he took out the dry food carefully prepared for him by his mother from his bag, roasted it on a charcoal fire and heated it slightly, and handed it to the old monk to eat.

The old monk nodded while eating, "Not bad, not bad, it tastes great." ”

The fire was lit by dead branches and leaves, and it wasn't very vigorous, but it was enough to keep the cold out and keep the beasts out of the way.

At this moment, the flames suddenly dimmed and seemed to be extinguished.

"Little donor, do you think this fire is burning a little strangely?"

Hearing this, Li Ji glanced at the fire, and said with a suspicious face: "These dead branches and leaves are soaked by rain, and they are a little damp, and they are not easy to ignite, and they will not be extinguished?"

So he added some dry branches to the fire, and the flame was blazing, crackling and giving off the scent of juniper and spark.

The old monk showed a strange smile on his face and said, "That's right, it's the middle of summer at this time, the rain is abundant, everything is damp, and it is not prosperous. ”

After half a ring, the two of them had eaten dry food and were about to get up, but the fire suddenly went out, and the two of them instantly fell into darkness, surrounded by a strange aura.

Li Ji suddenly felt a little frightened, and anyone would feel uneasy in the face of sudden darkness, let alone a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.

Suddenly, a shrill voice sang a ghostly tune, and its voice was not like a human voice, lingering in my ears.

The wind blew through the courtyard, and there was a chilling eerie streak in the silence, and the smell of death permeated all around.

The old monk held a big Zen staff in his hand and shouted: "Who is sneaking here!"

The sound is as loud as a bell, resounding through the four fields, echoing endlessly, and making people's hearts shocked.

It was pitch black in front of him, there was no sound around him, and no one answered him.

When Li Ji was about to light the firewood, the fire suddenly burst into flames, and he was frightened and took a few steps back.

What was even more surprising was that at this time, there was one more person in the room, to be exact, a white figure, dancing out of the darkness, a bleak ghost-like face, looming in the firelight as the body danced......
