Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Xiangyang City is steep by the mountain, according to the danger of the river, the north leads to Ru Road, the west takes Qinshu, the south covers the lake, and the east looks at Wuyue, which has always been a place for soldiers to fight.

It was July, and Meng Xunzhen walked in the suburbs of Xiangyang in the bright moonlight. But I saw that the surrounding trees were overgrown and the grass was abundant. In the depths of the grass and trees, from time to time there were sounds of insects singing and cicadas singing, and there was the sound of some small beast walking through the grass and shrubs. After walking for a while, there were suddenly two loud and agitated eagle sounds in the air. Meng Xunzhen's face showed joy, and when he looked up, two white eagles with a wingspan of about five feet flew down from the sky and landed side by side in front of him.

These are the two young eagles that Meng Xunzhen adopted in the desert, because they are rare alien species, and Meng Xunzhen often uses the innate true qi of his own cultivation to comb the bodies of the two eagles, causing their bodies to grow as violently in just half a year, and now standing on the ground has reached the waist of ordinary adults. Meng Xunzhen loves these two little guys very much, and named them respectively, the male eagle is called "Silver Soul", and the female eagle is called "Jade Spirit".

Meng Xunzhen gently stroked the back of the two eagles, and injected two wisps of incomparably pure innate true qi into their bodies as usual. With this true qi, the two eagles shook their heads and looked comfortable and intoxicated. Meng Xunzhen shook his head and smiled, stretched out his fingers and flicked them on their heads, and scolded: "Don't just care about enjoyment, how did I let you do things?" ”

The twin eagles chirped a few times coquettishly, stretched out their heads and rubbed Meng Xunzhen's body. It wasn't until Meng Xunzhen smiled bitterly and took two pieces of jerky and fed them to them that he was satisfied and spread his wings and flew together, hovering in the air three turns, and flying to the northwest. Meng Xun was really overjoyed, and began to follow closely on the ground.

Following the double eagles in the sky for a while, Meng Xunzhen heard a carving sound in his ears. This sound is slightly hoarse, very different from the sound of his own double eagles, but there is a desolate and heroic charm contained in it, and its loud and high-pitched voice is far from being comparable to the immature double eagles.

"Finally found it!" Meng Xun was very happy in his heart, and hurriedly ran along the sound, gradually lowering and walking into an extremely deserted valley. He heard the sound of the eagle not far in front of him, so he slowed his steps, came to a bush and hid himself, and peeked forward, only to see a huge eagle standing proudly in a clearing in the valley. This eagle is taller than Meng Xunzhen's entire head, a body of yellow-black feathers sparsely falling, a blood-red sarcoma on the top of the head, a hooked beak is curved, the wings are very short, a pair of legs and iron claws firmly rooted in the ground are extremely thick and strong. If Meng Xunzhen's pair of white eagles is refreshing and handsome, then this giant eagle that looks strange and ugly at first glance is ancient and majestic, with a unique majestic bearing.

At this moment, the giant eagle was chirping incessantly towards a bush of grass in front of it, and there was a faint sense of challenge in the cry. After a while, all I heard was the rustling of the grass. Under the moonlight, I only saw a large and colorful snake with the thickness of an arm, swimming out of the giant eagle two feet in front of the giant eagle in a snake formation, sizzling snake letters, and the triangular snake head flickered left and right.

Meng Xun was in his heart, he knew that all snakes and insects, the more gorgeous the color, the more poisonous they were, although these five big snakes didn't know what kind of species, they were obviously highly poisonous.

The eagle and the snake confronted each other for a while, and the giant eagle seemed to twist its head to one side as if it were a little distracted. When the serpent saw the opportunity, he flicked his body and shot it at the neck of the eagle like a powerful arrow off the string. But I saw that the giant eagle's head twisted to one side and turned back sharply, and the sharp beak that was curved like a hook pecked out accurately and quickly, hitting the top of the head of the great snake.

"Good means!" Although he had been prepared in his heart, seeing that this giant eagle still knew how to lure the enemy, Meng Xunzhen couldn't help but blurt out a cheer.

When the giant eagle heard the human voice, he immediately threw away the long dead snake that had just been picked up, and turned his head to look at Meng Xunzhen's hiding place, with a wary expression.

Meng Xunzhen stood up and bowed his hand to the giant eagle from a distance: "Brother Diao, there is no malice in the bottom, please don't be careful." ”

The giant eagle was psychic, as if it felt Meng Xunzhen's friendliness, and its vigilant posture relaxed slightly.

At this moment, Meng Xunzhen's face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed: "Be careful!" With his backhand, he pulled out the Frost Sword behind his back and threw it with his arm. The sword turned into a green ray and swept past the eagle, piercing the head of a colorful serpent that silently sneaked behind the eagle, and pinned it to the ground. It turned out that the poisonous snakes here were a male and female, and the giant eagle only killed one of them, while the other was very cunning and kept lurking in the grass. It wasn't until he saw that the giant eagle had neglected behind him because of Meng Xunzhen's defense, that he quietly sneaked out and prepared to attack from behind.

The giant eagle saw the snake corpse on the ground and knew that the person in front of him had helped him. It stepped forward and grabbed the hilt of the Qingshuang Sword with its mouth, pulled it out, and turned around to send it to Meng Xunzhen. Waiting for Meng Xunzhen to take the sword, it nodded three times at Meng Xunzhen, and chirped softly three times.

Meng Xunzhen knew that it was expressing his gratitude to himself, so he reached out and stroked the back of the giant eagle, and said with a smile: "Brother Eagle, this is just a gesture, and there is no need to be polite." ”

The giant eagle let out a few low sounds, first turned around and swallowed the two big snakes on the ground in three bites, and then came over and bit the corners of Meng Xunzhen's clothes and pulled them a few times, let go randomly, and strode forward.

Meng Xunzhen had already guessed where the giant eagle was going to take him, and shouted: "Brother Eagle, wait, I still have two children with me!" With that, he raised his head and let out a long roar, and the wings of the twin eagles that had been hovering in the air fell.

The two little guys seemed to be a little afraid of the ancestor level old-timer in front of them, and a few slightly uneasy chirps came out of their mouths. The giant eagle saw the two "younger generations", but it seemed to be quite happy, it first stood in the distance and carefully looked at the double eagle for a while, and then came up and spread its wings and patted it lightly on the head of the double eagle, and the expression was very affectionate.

The giant eagle turned around and walked again, Meng Xunzhen beckoned the double eagle to follow in the sky, and then followed it to the depths of the mountain forest. The giant eagle's wings are short and unable to fly, but his legs are abnormally agile, and he walks faster than a galloping horse in the mountains and rocks and grasses. The eagle went lower and lower, straight into a deep ravine. And after walking a long time, he came to a great cave.

"For more than 30 years, I have killed all the enemies and defeated the heroes, and there is no resistance in the world, and there is nothing to do, but to live in seclusion in the deep valley and take the eagle as a friend. Woohoo, I can't get an opponent in my life, and I'm embarrassed to be lonely. ”

Although he had not entered the cave, Meng Xunzhen seemed to have seen the three lines of handwriting carved on the stone wall of the cave and covered with the passage of time.

"Sword Demon" Dugu sought defeat and never appeared head-on from beginning to end, but it created Yang Guo and Ling Hu Chong, two generations who were dominant in each era. This peerless master, whose origin is a mystery, is the goal of Meng Xunzhen's trip. Now his martial arts are falling into a bottleneck, if he only relies on his own penance, it is difficult to break through in a short period of time, and he came to Xiangyang to find the Condor, hoping to break through the bottleneck with the help of the legacy of this predecessor.

The Condor pulled the corners of Meng Xunzhen's clothes again, and walked into the cave, followed by Meng Xunzhen. The two white eagles seemed not interested in the dark cave, and stood on a rock and waited after they fell.

This cave is not deep, and it is not more than three feet before it reaches its end. Meng Xunzhen looked around and saw that in addition to a stone table and a stone bench in the cave, there was a pile of rubble in the corner, which looked like a tomb. He thought: "Presumably this is the place where Dugu is buried." Hey, how's it going? What about being invincible in the world? As long as you can't jump out of this world, you won't end up turning into a pile of white bones and dying with the grass and trees! ”

All along, the motivation for all Meng Xunzhen's efforts came from the pressure of survival given to him by the mysterious voice. At this moment, in addition to surviving, a vague thought quietly sprouted in his heart.

After kneeling down in front of the stone pile and bowing four times, and expressing his admiration to the senior master, Meng Xunzhen lit a torch that he had made on the side of the road, waved his sleeves with a soft force, brushed away the dust and moss on the cave wall, and showed the three lines of handwriting below. He saw that these characters were very thin, but they were extremely deep into the stone, as if they were carved with extremely sharp weapons.

Meng Xunzhen suddenly remembered the story of Zhang Sanfeng's "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and secretly wondered if there was any name in the suicide note of this peerless swordsman, so he concentrated on it and watched it carefully.

This look is really wonderful. At first glance, these words only felt that they were steep and majestic, and there was a faint hidden sword intent. Meng Xun couldn't help but use his fingers to follow these fonts. Gradually, the words were scattered and dismembered in his eyes, turning into strokes such as dots, horizontals, apostrophes, and pinching, and in each stroke, there was an incomparably sophisticated sword technique.

For a while, Meng Xunzhen was intoxicated by these wonderful sword dao principles and couldn't extricate himself, his fingers were crazy and slashing faster and faster in the void, and his fingertips revealed a trace of fierce strength, sneering.

The Condor should have been accustomed to seeing Dugu Qiuqiu obsessed with kendo back then, and he didn't think Meng Xunzhen was really crazy at all, and just watched quietly.

I don't know how long it took, Meng Xunzhen suddenly let out a long laugh, and pulled out the long sword on his back with his backhand. He holds the sword in his left hand, pinched the index finger and middle finger of his right hand into a sword trick, and his hands form a ring and slowly lifts it, which is the "starting style" in Tai Chi swordsmanship.

Subsequently, the three rings set the moon, the big kui star, the swallow copied the water, the left block sweep, the right block sweep...... The fifty-four-style Tai Chi sword slowly opened one move at a time. Compared with the past, there is a little more indescribable agility and fluency in the swordsmanship, and it seems that the entire set of swordsmanship has gained life at once and "lived" in Meng Xunzhen's hands.

The Taijiquan sword pioneered by the great master Zhang Sanfeng was widely spread, and even in the era when Meng Xunzhen lived in his previous life, it was practiced by many people, but it has been reduced to fitness or performance kung fu. In the past few years, Meng Xunzhen has been trying to develop this set of swordsmanship based on the memories of his previous life, but he has only obtained its form but not the essence of the spirit. Although Dugu's suicide note is only the fundamental method of sword movement rather than sword moves, it is like a key that opens the door to a treasure trove for him, allowing him to get a glimpse of the true essence of Tai Chi swordsmanship.

After Meng Xunzhen's swordsmanship reached the fifty-third style "compass", he drew a circle with both hands at the same time, and reverted to the fifty-fourth style of "returning to the yuan with a sword". After finishing the swordsmanship again, Meng Xunzhen didn't stop, swinging the sword and dancing again. It's also strange to say that the swordsmanship he made this time was completely different from Fang Cai's, but the meaning of the round and continuous rotation when the sword was drawn out was clearly Taiji swordsmanship. After making seventeen moves in a row, Meng Xunzhen's swordsmanship stagnated slightly, and the eighteenth move became the one he had just used.

After the second sword technique, Meng Xunzhen put the sword back into the sheath, sighed softly, and said to himself: "After all, my cultivation is insufficient, and I can't jump out of the sword trick and reach the realm of the sword with will." ”

was sighing, and suddenly there was a slight "click" sound in his ears. Meng Xunzhen looked up in amazement, and immediately shouted, "Bitter!" It turned out that when he was dancing the sword, he unconsciously poured the internal force into the sword, and where the sword qi went, the stone walls around the cave were cut into pieces, and the rocks on the cave wall were disintegrating and shattering, and the fine stone chips fell one after another, and Dugu's suicide note for defeat was no longer there.

Unexpectedly, he unintentionally destroyed Dugu's former residence, Meng Xun called "sin" in his heart, he didn't know if the Condor would blame himself for this, and was about to make amends to it, his eyes swept over the cave wall, and his body suddenly shook violently, and he froze in place.

After the original cave wall was destroyed, there was a layer of flat stone wall that was apparently carved out by hand, and on the inner stone wall, it was densely carved with words and human patterns. In the middle of the stone wall in front of the stone cave are engraved eight big characters - Dugu Nine Swords, leaving a gift!
