Chapter 253: Green Fu
An interesting question is whether the toad swarm that is attacking and chasing Sword Seven and Kairas can be considered creatures. These things are made up of pus from the wounds in the river monster's eyes, and are completely different from the process that normal toads go through, going from the tadpole stage to the mature state. They are more akin to the products of illusion than real beings that grow up and experience death. Jian Qi's hometown is rich in such techniques, and the tricks of sprinkling beans into soldiers and turning stones into gold are not unheard of in the rivers and lakes, but most of them are blind methods, not real changes in the arts.
The thing in front of you is not a trick, at least not a toad that can shave off a large trouser leg in one bite. After the baptism of two traps, there are not many toads still gathered on the ground below Jian Qi. But that's more because most of the toad packs were just attracted away by the cat goblins. Besides, the culprit who stabbed the river monster in the eye was Kairaz, and if these toads were indeed some kind of spell or will formation of the river monster, then they should indeed attack Kairaz's main target. Thinking of this, Jian Qi raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
The cat fairy hadn't reached the safe zone yet, and the tree he was going to was already farther away than the one where the sword-seeker was hiding. And judging from the situation that he climbed to the tree just now, this task assignment is correct, if he changes to Jian Qi, it is impossible not to be caught up by the toad in this distance without using Xiao Ling's virtual step. These things may seem clumsy and sluggish, but the speed at which they continue to bounce in a straight line is actually quite astonishing. And being able to not be overtaken by these strange and tireless toads for a long distance shows the speed and durability of Kairaz himself, and in terms of physical fitness alone, he is far superior to humans.
It's useless to worry about the situation of his companions now, the cat fairy is still running, which means that the attention of those toads will be focused on him, which is an opportunity that must be grasped and cannot be reproduced. Jian Qi didn't dare to slack off, he put his gaze back on the huge body of the river monster, his lips slightly opened, and he exhaled into the air. Qi is not the same thing as air, it does not mean that qi is to pull the air inhaled into the lungs into the body's circulation, which cannot be done, and if it can be done, it is estimated that it is not far from death. Controlling the breath is to remove superfluous thinking distractions and involve more sophisticated senses.
There is no chance in the treetops for him to take seven leisurely steps, so the seven steps that start with a jump from the tree and gradually accelerate are the most important. If it is affected in the middle of the way, not only will Xiao Ling's vain performance have problems, but the qi in his body will be disrupted, but it will not be enough to spit blood. Ready. Jian Qi lowered his eyes, took one last look at the toads gathered below, and then jumped!
As soon as his feet hit the ground, he took four steps in a row and rushed out at once. But attracted by the heavy footsteps, the toads also spotted this guy who took the initiative to appear, and turned around one after another, and began to pounce on Jian Qi's back! At the fifth step, a lucky toad grabbed Jian Qi's ankle with its tongue, but the latter relied on the control of his thoughts, and endured the pain of the flesh being torn off and continued to move forward. This somewhat affected his sixth step, but he still managed to take the seventh step smoothly. Lightweight, step on the wind, climb to the sky! This step is higher than the previous two times!
People, in the air become very slow. It's not that you fly slowly, it's that you don't need to control any muscle in your body, and giving the movement of your body completely to inertia itself creates a sense of time confusion. Jian Qi's hand slowly touched the wooden hilt behind him. The Qingfu Sword is one of the seventy-two relics in the same category as Feiyan, but its position in the ancestral hall of the Sword Gate is much higher than that of Feiyan, just because this sword is too special.
"The sword is the ruler and the border. In a trance, my father's admonition appeared at the same time as the incense that always could not dissipate in the study, as if returning to the age of standing in front of the desk and reciting the sword book, "The world only says that the sword is a blade, and the soldier is unknown." But my sword gate is in the name of the sword, and this ominous weapon has been cast for generations to be used by the world to kill, and its sin is not deep. However, the people of the world only say that the sword is a murder weapon, a sword, a gun, a club, an axe, a hook and a fork, and what cannot be a murder weapon? The murder weapon is to provoke people's own nature, the good ones defend the way, and the evil ones use it to get away with it. Therefore, the sword is a ruler, and if there is good or evil, it is the measure. ”
"The sword is also the boundary, the boundary that divides yin and yang. Death under the sword, life on the sword, unlike the sword and axe, there is a murderous sword and a living sword. The bearer of the sword will be measured by the sword, and he will use it to divide the boundaries. But there are no absolutes in everything, the day cannot turn into night all at once, there is always room for each other, among the many swords provided by our clan, there is one sword that is particularly good at this, do you know?"
"The child knows that the name of this sword is called Qingfu, which is not made by our clan, but is entrusted by the ancestors to be collected in the ancestral hall for support. The green rune sword is wooden, not stained with a trace of hardware, not to kill, not to be stained with blood, but to drive away ghosts and spirits. This sword is a living sword, and a jiazi must come out of the sword once, otherwise the aura will collapse and turn into rotten wood in a few days. Therefore, every time our clan comes here, we must assign people to find the evil thing and bring it back to the sect. ”
Calculating the time, it has been more than thirty years since Qingfu was stolen from the Sword Gate, and there is indeed not much difference between the time limit of that Jiazi. People are in the air, the sword is unsheathed, and the wooden sword body is not destined to be too long, so compared to the normal standard sword, the green talisman gives people the feeling of being more like an ornament hanging on the wall. And it is this ornament, but it is indeed the sword that makes the charm and the ghost flee from the wind.
Jian Qi held the sword in his right hand, held it upside down behind his back, leaned slightly, trotted under his feet, and went straight to the front of the river monster. As long as it can put the green rune into the skin and flesh of the monster, it will naturally be able to exert its effect, this is the knowledge passed down from generation to generation in the sword gate, and the people of the older generation who have seen the last time the green rune is all convincing about it. A person's life is limited, and so is the knowledge and experience that can be accumulated, and what a big family like Kenmen is superior to others is what has been accumulated and passed down from the lives of generations. Every junior of the Sword Sect will inherit it and turn it into practice at the first opportunity.
The body of the river monster seemed to be dead, and the huge body had remained motionless since the toads had poured out of the wounds. Kenqi didn't think that the other party was dead, and if he could be killed by being stabbed in the eye, Cheese wouldn't have been so cautious before. Moreover, the toads' unequivocal hostility suggests that they are in some sense controlled by the river monsters.
As the Swordseeker reached the front of the monster's body, he didn't hesitate, Kairaz was still being chased, and he had to deal with it as soon as possible. Hold the sword in your right hand, hold the hilt of the sword with your left hand, and puff up your momentum, like a green dragon going out to sea!
Just as Jian Qi, the green dragon, was about to hit his target, two lightning bolts shot out from the clouds! The river monster moved, and her two big hands stretched out like the tentacles of an octopus, revealing her previously covered abdomen, and the big mouth on that abdomen showed a strange smile.
