Volume 3: Lotus Regret (6)

sixteen

Seeing Ruoxuan leave, Xiaolian reluctantly withdrew her little hand to say goodbye. Since following Ruoxuan to the Heavenly Realm for a year and a half, the two have never been separated from each other day and night, and Xiao Lianxi has long regarded following Ruoxuan as a habit and belonging.

Xiaolian looked at the direction of Ruoxuan's departure with a sense of loss, and there was an inexplicable feeling of unease in her heart. Once separated from his mother, he lost his news and never saw him again, and now he finally waited to rely on, just hoping that the master could return as soon as possible.

"Uh-huh~! Little girl, everyone's flying away, still watch? How? Have you taken a fancy to my son, Brother Ran Xian? Xingtian's thick eyebrows fluttered, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a cheap smile.

"The gods of the punishment heaven don't want to talk nonsense, Xi'er is just worried about the safety of the master." Lian Xi heard Xingtian's ridicule, her cheeks suddenly turned crimson, her little hands pinched the corners of her clothes, and she was so embarrassed that she was at a loss.

"Eh! I said that you little girl, could it be that Brother Zi Ran Xian is a thousand-year-old man, and he is not worthy of you, a jade limb and snow skin in his youth? Let me tell you, the gods are all long-lived, thousands of years old, and they are only a few thousand years old. Let's not mention it for the time being, let's just say that the master of my family is the god of Emperor Yan, and he has several concubines who are only twenty-eight years old! In my opinion, you and Zi Ranlang are a perfect match, and they are a good match! "The heart of Xingtian's gossip is out of control, and he doesn't care if he can't say anything, he just talks nonsense.

"How can it be, Xi'er is just a little demon, how dare you dare to climb high, Xi'er is not abandoned by the master, and it is a great honor to be able to serve the left and right." Xi'er's two little hands twisted the corners of her clothes, buried her face, and the corners of her mouth quietly flashed with a hint of joy and blush.

"Hahahaha! Little girl, dare to say that you don't have that little care, you see the smile on the corner of your mouth is written on your face! But it's normal, Zi Ran Xian's brother is a genius, his status is transcendent, and thousands of beautiful goddesses and immortals in the heavenly realm are looking forward to winning his favor! The so-called building near the water gets the first month, you have to seize the opportunity! Seeing that the instigation succeeded, Xing Tian couldn't help but laugh loudly.

"Punish the heavenly gods! You! How are you so bad! As soon as the owner left, he made fun of Xi'er! I'm sorry to cultivate, ignore you! Hum! Sorry for the embarrassment, he couldn't bear the shame, stomped on Xingtian's feet, turned around and tapped the pool noodles, and hurriedly fled to the other side to continue meditating.

"Eh! This little girl, I can't see it, my strength is not small at a young age! ”

......

Five days have passed since Ruoxuan left, and Xiao Lian Xi insisted on meditating and cultivating every day, but she has been angry, no matter how Xingtian laughs and teases, she just ignores it.

On the Shengqing Pond, a wall of turquoise water with a height of several feet rises from the "Shengqing Pond", hovering in the air and flowing slowly.

On the shore, Xiao Lian closed her eyes and meditated, concentrating on controlling her spiritual power, trying her best to maintain the stability of the "Blue Water Screen".

After five days of hard practice, Xiao Lianxi has been able to use the "blue water screen" the size of a square circle and a zhang as she wishes, and make the water wall condense but not disperse, which can last for half an hour. The use of the power of the law of water barriers is also becoming more and more proficient.

"Wow" Xiaolian was exhausted, and the water wall was suddenly scattered in the pool, Xiaolian panted slightly, and watched with satisfaction the rain flowers stirred up in the pool by the water wall falling into the pool.

"In five days, you will be able to use the 'Bishui Screen' skillfully, little girl, you have a good talent." Xing Tian accompanied this little lotus to cultivate, and was bored and crooked on the table of the pavilion to drink alcohol.

"Humph! That's what my master taught! Xiao Lianxi raised her head slightly, and her little face was filled with a little smugness.

"You cast the 'Blue Water Screen' again." Xing Tian drank all the wine in his cup in one gulp, and stood up and patted the hem of his clothes.

"'Blue Water Screen', up!" Lotus cherished a glance, calmed down, and used the spiritual power to once again exert the 'blue water screen'.

"Broken!" I saw Xingtian wave his hand and throw out a half-meter-long red fire to practice, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through the wall of water, and then the remaining momentum continued unabated, knocking Lian Xi to the ground.

"You may be able to cast the spell perfectly, but you have not yet achieved it. At most, I can resist the attack of ordinary weapons, even if it is a mutual restraint, I can easily break it with my sleeves. If this spell is cast by your master, it will be able to withstand my full blow. In an instant, Xingtian's figure fell beside Lian Xi.

"I cherish my mistake and will not insult the prestige of my master again, I hope I ask the God of Heaven to bother to give advice!" Xiao Lianxi immediately got up, wiped the red from the corners of her mouth, and her cheeks were hot and ashamed. Xingtian is waking her up, and she will be complacent if she has a little success, which is a taboo in cultivation. The path of cultivation is long and obstructive, and she is just scratching the surface.

"Go on!"

'Yes!' Blue Water Screen', up! ”

"Broken! Inadequate! Again! ”

"Up!"

......

At dusk, on the shore of Shengqing Lake, the corners of Xiaolian's mouth were dripping with Yin Yin's blood, her chest rose and fell violently, and she was panting heavily. The clothes around him were covered with mottled scorch marks, which could not resist the traces left by the red fire again and again.

With her hands hanging in front of her, Xiaolian tried her best to use her spiritual power. Ahead, a wall of water and a red fire poured against each other, and there was a stalemate. Eventually, both spells ran out of power, and both dissipated into the air.

At the same time, the 'blue water screen' the size of six zhang was cast, and finally the half-meter red fire of Xingtian was resisted, and Xiaolian fell to the ground, smiling weakly and contentedly, and fell asleep.

Xing Tian took off the bright red cloak behind the battle armor, covered Lian Xi's body, sat down near a piece of bluestone, looked at Xiao Lianxi's sleeping face with a smile even after falling asleep, and nodded with satisfaction.

"This woman is stoic and talented. With a little persecution, it takes less than a day to display six 'blue water screens' at the same time, which is a malleable talent. It's just that I pity my old bones, eh, hey......" Xing Tian was full of fatigue, holding his shoulders and swaying and stretching, muttering quietly. The whole day of non-stop red fire training has also caused a lot of burden on him, which shows how tenacious and persistent it is to cultivate to a shallow lotus pity.

The night of the Sanqing Holy Realm is exceptionally clear, above the clouds of the heavenly realm, and the stars are even clearer and softer. It's a pity that the two of them, who are tired for a day, appreciate it flawlessly, and fall asleep separately......

Unlike the starry land of the Sanqing Holy Realm, everywhere Ruoxuan looked, there was chaos and misty, the extreme north of the Stygian Sea, the swamp was thousands of miles, and there was no end in sight.

It has been flying here for five days. After five days of non-stop searching for the whereabouts of the four Dharma Protector Elders, Ruoxuan's eyebrows were written with a hint of fatigue.

Looking into the depths and flying away, it is where the forbidden land of the gods is located. The gods of the heavenly realm are not allowed to set foot in the forbidden land, this is a strict order that the gods must obey, and Ruoxuan is no exception. But now that he has searched all over the periphery, he still can't find the whereabouts of the four Dharma protectors, and he hasn't found any clues related to this accident, Ruoxuan can't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.

The four Dharma Protector Spiritual Officers, also known as the Four Protector Marshals of the Three Qing Dynasty, are:

Law enforcement selfless Marshal Wang Shan, known as "Falling Spiritual Officer", "Taiyi Thunder Ying Yuan Puhua Zun";

Marshal Wen Qiong, Dongyue Taiqing, was entitled: General Xiande, Yiling Zhaowu Taibao;

Marshal Ma Sheng, the king of the Flying Gods, was born to the sixth star of the Southern Dipper, known as the "Doukou Lingguan";

Marshal Zhao Gongming, the Black Tiger Demon Suppression, was entitled: Marshal of Shangqing Ruyi Golden Wheel Justice Xuantan.

Under the Sanqing Sect, there are a total of 500 Dharma Protector Spiritual Officials, all of whom have the vast power of heavenly creation, especially these four, who are even more admired and respected by the gods of the heavenly realm.

The supreme power of the four senior brothers is also under the Sanqing Sect, Ruo Xuan knows it in his heart, and because of this, he is even more vigilant and jealous in his heart.

After another round of inspection, he still found nothing, Ruoxuan couldn't help but stop and hesitate.

Further on, they got closer and closer to the forbidden land, but the four Dharma Protectors had been lost for many days, and if they delayed for a moment, the four of them would be in more danger. Ruoxuan was in a dilemma.

"The four brothers have taken care of Shengqing a lot in the past, and this time Shengqing is willing to go to the rescue in order to repay his kindness." After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to set off again and continue to detour in the direction of the forbidden land.

After another day of roundabout inspection, he still found nothing, just as Ruoxuan stopped in the clouds, a plant suddenly broke through the ground in the swamp under his feet, grew rapidly, and gradually bloomed gorgeous flowers. This vision attracted Ruoxuan's attention.

It is a poppy in full bloom, quietly rooted in the swamp, exuding a hint of red light, and it is windless. Compared to the desolate chaos around it, it is extremely strange and strange.

"This is the Stygian Sea, thousands of miles of wasteland, grass does not grow, grains do not grow, why is there such a vicious thing rooted and growing here?"

The poppy is an outlier in flowers, which can corrode the mind and make people fall into an illusion, unable to extricate themselves, and the gods and ghosts are afraid of it.

Ruo Xuan suddenly felt that something was wrong, and lowered his body from the clouds, gradually moving closer to the poppy, intending to investigate the strangeness.

When Ruoxuan approached the poppy less than a hundred feet, a majestic gravitational force suddenly came from the poppy letter, pulling Ruoxuan closer.

"Sure enough, something is different!" Finally found the clue, Ruoxuan was in good spirits, and then he no longer hesitated, gathered his divine power, and let the gravitational pull turned into a purple firefly, falling into the poppy letter, dissipating invisible, and the poppy then grew backwards, degenerating into a seed that exuded a strange red glow, and hibernated in the swamp.

Heaven and earth chaos returned to dead silence......

"Excellent! Keep it up! On the side of the "Shengqing Pond", Xing Tian stood behind Xiao Lianxi, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a heroic posture and a solemn expression, without the simplicity and comical of his usual days.

Xiao Lianxi, who was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, was still clenching her teeth in cold sweat, and spared no effort to pour her spiritual power into the turquoise water wall in front of her. I saw that in the center of the turquoise water wall, frost gradually condensed, like a flower blooming, spreading around the water wall.

Ten days after Ruoxuan left, Xiao Lianxi could easily cast the "Blue Water Screen" and change its form at will, and had reached the realm of Dacheng. At this moment, under the guidance of Xingtian, he is gradually moving towards the ultimate realm of this spell: condensing water into ice.

"Don't let go! Go on! Xing Tian saw that Lian Xi was about to run out, so he immediately took out his palm and punched a wisp of divine power into Lian Xi's back.

With the replenishment of Xingtian's divine power, Lian Xi's spirit was lifted, and she was no longer embarrassed and languid, and she forced out the rest of her body with all her strength. I saw that the turquoise water wall hanging in the air more than ten zhang wide in front of me instantly condensed into ice, except for the size of the area, it was no different from the ice wall that Ruoxuan demonstrated that day!

"Succeeded? It worked! Master, Xi'er has finally cultivated the 'Blue Water Screen' to the extreme state of condensing water into ice! Lian Xi propped her hands on the ground, looking at the crystal ice wall suspended in the air, her face full of joy.

"Not bad. What you lack now is the capacity of spiritual power, you only need to meditate every day, broaden your state of mind to accommodate more spiritual power, and then you can exert the 'clear water screen' of the ultimate realm alone. Xing Tian also stroked his long beard with satisfaction, obviously extremely satisfied with Lian Xi's hard work and performance.

Suddenly, Lian Xi suddenly woke up, quickly got up, looked respectful and solemn, Shi Shiran knelt down, prostrated on the ground, and bowed three times.

"Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" The sonorous voice of the words sounded from under Lianxi. "The apprentice was ignorant in the past and gambled with the master, I hope the master will forgive me! If there is an expulsion in the future, the futile child must do his best, and there is no other word! ”

"Okay, okay, please get up." Xing Tian wanted to refuse politely, but seeing that Xiaolian was so sincere, and thought of accepting Lian Xi as an apprentice, he couldn't say that he could respond to Ruoxuan, so he happily agreed, and helped Lian Xi get up with both hands, which was regarded as accepting this apprentice.

"Little girl, you are my first apprentice in Xingtian, and you will also be a closed disciple of the teacher. However, being a teacher is not as gentle and considerate as your master, and if you practice as a teacher, you will suffer a lot, and you should be mentally prepared. ”

"No matter how bitter it is, Lian Xi is not afraid!"

"Excellent! Next, in vain, remember that the 'Blue Water Screen' is not a spell that can only be used for defense. Immediately, Xing Tian turned to face the turquoise ice wall, lunged to retract his fist, only to see a red light surging up on the giant fist, and then swung out a punch and slammed into the ice wall.

"Boom!" The ice wall shattered in response, turning into countless sharp ice edges, shooting out rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the huge bluestone on the opposite bank pierced through and exploded into rubble.

"When the 'Blue Water Screen' is practiced to the extreme, it can evolve a secondary technique as a means of attack and killing. The second technique is called 'blue water ice edge', and when practiced to perfection, it can have the power of penetrating stones through mountains. For the sake of the divine power of the teacher's body is the pure power of the law of fire separation, he only used the secondary technique, but he did it with his divine power and was ruthless, and he could not exert all the power of the secondary technique. And in vain, with the power of the law of water barriers, you will definitely be able to use several times more powerful than this, the real 'blue water and ice edge'. ”

"Thank you, Master! Master is mighty! It's just Master, the bluestone that you just demonstrated the spell to shatter was specially moved back to the temple by the master, and the naturally formed texture on it, such as splashing ink landscapes, is the master's favorite. ”

"Well, this ...... Since the apprentice knows, why didn't he tell the teacher earlier, and now he is afraid that it is not good for the teacher to explain to Zi Ran Xian, how is this good? ”

In the Holy Qing Palace, spiritual power and divine power rose one after another, and the master and apprentice once again devoted themselves to cultivation. The Shengqing Temple, which has been quiet for thousands of years, is the first time that such a lively scene has appeared.
