Chapter 11: Trivia before going up the mountain
Within two days, the Twelve Spirit Mountains of the Outer Sect calmly made people feel uneasy. Basically, all the disciples of the five generations were concentrated around the various spiritual mountains. The people left in the sect are basically dozens of disciples of the middle sect, but there are very few people. The twenty-four disciples who returned to the Inner Sect had no choice but to insist on cultivating on their own, and most of them chose to stay in their two-person mansion to cultivate.
After all, the disciples of the Middle Sect were four or five people who studied under a fifth-generation disciple, and few of them had cultivated beyond the seventh level of condensation. The courses in the three major sects were not attractive to their own disciples.
That night, after all the twenty-four disciples returned to the Inner Sect, the alchemy master Xinyi Daoren, who was in charge of the affairs of the disciples of the Middle Gate, gathered all the official disciples of the six generations into the cultivation capital, and introduced Su Qiao, the old friend of the Xinheng Daoist, to temporarily replace the sword master Xincang Daoren, who could not get out due to the affairs of the sect, and conferred karma on the five disciples seat. Xinyi Danshi also specially mentioned that Su Qiao's swordsmanship is profound, and other sword disciples can also come to her if they have any questions.
After leaving the Cultivation Mansion, Xia Fanxing took the initiative to find the five middle disciples under the seat of the Xincang Daoist. And Senior Sister Hou, who had an indifferent face, followed the Su Jianshi, who looked very weak, and left in their puzzled eyes. Xincang Daoren was a monk who had extremely high swordsmanship among the five generations of Zhongmen disciples, and his cultivation had also reached the late stage of the Jiedan. Xia Fanxing and one of his disciples, Bai Xing, had tried martial arts in the previous Six Generations Conference.
Several middle disciples asked him about Su Qiao's origin, Xia Fanxing could only smile bitterly and say that although she was picked up by my master, Xia Fanxing didn't know much about Su Qiao's life experience, and this was not a lie. Then, he said to his junior brothers and sisters that the Xinheng Daoist let him also follow Su Qiao to learn swordsmanship during this time, so in the next period of time, Xia Fanxing, the senior brother, would practice with Su Qiao with them.
The younger brothers and sisters were pleasantly surprised. After all, the twenty-four second disciples were a height that was currently unattainable in their eyes, and it was all new to them that Senior Brother Xia was able to follow that new sword master to cultivate with them.
However, in the third cultivation mansion on the afternoon of this day, there was also a person who surprised several Zhongmen disciples extremely much. Hou Ying, who was bound to become the senior sister of the sixth generation of disciples in the near future, actually came to them with Senior Brother Xia to listen to Sword Master Su lecture on the sword spectrum they cultivated!
When Senior Sister Hou, who exuded a cold and unapproachable aura all over her body, came in, Su Jianshi, who looked too soft and soft no matter how she looked at it, looked at her and smiled, I have to say that several Zhongmen disciples present had never seen Senior Sister Hou smile!
"Good. Everyone is here, so I'll start with the place where the Heart Cang Dao Elder taught before. In this way, please Bai Xing first come to the front of the Dao platform to show the first three styles of the Heart Sword Technique. With that, Su Qiao threw a sword in his hand into Bai Xing's hand.
"Xiaobai is usually lazy when he sees it. Senior Brother Xia, Senior Brother Xia, are you listening to me?"
Xia Fanxing, who was sitting on the meditation platform in the middle, helplessly turned his head to the right side. On the adjacent meditation platform not far away, there was a small girl sitting upright, wearing a white robe. The face is a little fat, white and clean. She coiled her hair together, accounting for at least half of her height. And if she didn't, she'd be tripped over her long hair when she got up.
"Listen carefully to what Su Jianshi said...", the girl who didn't seem to look at him and was listening attentively actually kept using the sound transmission to ridicule Xia Fanxing's slightly rusty swordsmanship on the stage. In fact, with Su Qiao's cultivation, he must have felt it. He had no choice but to put on the appearance of a senior brother, quietly sent a message back, and reminded in a low voice.
This girl with a small stature and a lively personality is not a disciple of the Taoist of Xincang. However, she could be said to be very familiar with the other five Zhongmen disciples, and when she also arrived today, Bai Xing and the others were not surprised at all when they saw Hou Ying, but took a bite of Senior Sister Li. Her name is Li Yunhan, and she is the sixteenth disciple among the twenty-four disciples. Her master, Xinyang Daoren, Xincang Daoren, once shared a division with him, and was a Xuanming Immortal Master who had long since left the sect and disappeared among the four generations of disciples.
At that time, the Xuan Ming Immortal Master could be called the head of the sword master in the Tu Feng Sect, and the Seven Immortal Sword Techniques that were passed down in the sect and could be practiced by the Seven Killing Monks above the foundation, and its sword spectrum was compiled by him and the Xuan Cui Immortal Master, the Taoist companion of the Xuan Neng. Xinyang Xincang is his most optimistic disciple, and he has his true inheritance, and he is a real sword idiot. And Li Yunhan, who looks small and cute, has completely inherited her master's Xinyang Dao people's fanaticism for swordsmanship. Her cultivation was only at the sixth level of Qi Condensation, but under the guidance of her master, she had already begun to learn the Seven Spiritual Sword Technique, which was completely beyond the scope of her cultivation.
Her kendo talent far surpassed her cultivation talent, but it was enough for her to break into the ranks of the twenty-four disciples with this cultivation. Among the disciples of the Middle Gate, the Xincang Dao people are the best sword masters, and Bai Xing's group of disciples can be called the strongest sword cultivation disciples of the Middle Gate. Li Yunhan, who is extremely keen on swordsmanship, has long been familiar with their relationship.
The junior sister on the side was finally able to give Su Qiao a little face. Xia Fanxing thought helplessly, and at the same time, he was also looking at the Beginner Heart Entering Sword Technique in his hand very seriously. To be honest, after he received the sword gift from his master, he never had a good sword score, and he didn't have time to practice. Due to its particularity, Xia Fanxing did not intend to study it in a short period of time. I have a set of handy boxing methods, but the heart boxing method and this heart sword method are the same source of Taoism, and they are very good. It's better to use this set of swordsmanship as the first complete set of swordsmanship to start kendo.
"Senior brother, don't be so serious... It's not difficult, if you don't understand something, you can ask me later..."
Xia Fanxing smiled helplessly, ignoring the continued "harassment" of his junior sister.
Yesterday, he met Li Yunhan by chance outside the mansion of the twenty-four disciples. In fact, it was not an accident, it should have been her who came to him. After meeting Xia Fanxing, she told him that she would go to the cultivation mansion with him and Hou Ying tomorrow to listen to Su Qiao's lectures. And said that he had asked the master to ask the person of Xinhengdao. This girl didn't know anything about Su Qiao, Xia Fanxing didn't know what the senior sister liked about Su Qiao, so she didn't take it seriously, so she made an appointment with her to go to the cultivation mansion together in the afternoon of the next day.
For the heart-to-heart sword spectrum that the junior brothers and sisters learned, Li Yunhan had completely mastered it a few years ago, and her proficiency was already within the range of condensation, so it can be said that she has learned this set of swordsmanship, and she has learned it to the extreme. That's why she was so idle when Su Qiao was lecturing, and when she saw Xia Fanxing ignoring her, she turned to the side to chat with the junior sister next to her. And Su Qiao on the stage saw all this in his eyes, but he was not angry, but still with a faint smile, pointing out the problem of uncoordinated luck when Bai Xing danced the sword.
Xia Fanxing really doubted that Senior Sister Li was here to make trouble for Su Qiao, a newcomer.
Although Hou Ying on the side was not listening carefully, at least she had a cold face and did not make any movement. Xia Fanxing couldn't help frowning, lowered his head, and transmitted the voice, "Yunhan! ”
Li Yunhan turned his head, with a hint of joking in his eyes, "Okay... Good. Brother, listen carefully. ”
Xia Fanxing was so disturbed by her, but her mind was not so easy to concentrate. Because tonight, there is an extremely important matter. That's right, last night Xin Heng told Su Qiao that they should go to the peak of Guanmei Peak at dusk today to meet the fake body placed by the Xuan Neng Immortal Master in retreat.
I finally focused on the sword spectrum in my hand, but now I can't help but think about the attitude and tone of the Xuan Neng that I will see soon.
In the unconscious tension, the five quarters of an hour of lecture time was fleeting. Xia Fanxing looked at the sword book in his hand, but the moves on it were very unfamiliar. Even though he had practiced the same origin as him, he was still confused. He was too distracted, he complained silently, and he didn't learn anything.
"Alright. The time is almost up. I'll let you know when I'm going to give you a lecture next time. Is there anything else you want to ask?" Su Qiao asked with a smile as he withdrew the saber in his hand back to his waist. A fine layer of sweat appeared on the forehead. Just now she showed her disciples a sword dance, and all the disciples had to admit that her understanding of swordsmanship was one word, fine. All the moves were done in her hands to a nuanced degree. It can be said that she is very proficient, as if she has been practicing the Heart Fist method for a long time.
Before he finished speaking, Li Yunhan, who had almost fallen asleep, suddenly began to rummage through something in the bag under the meditation platform. As soon as Su Qiao finished speaking, she took out a thin book before everyone else and raised her hand, "Su Jianshi, I ......"
At the same time, the door of the cultivation mansion was knocked three times quickly, and it was pushed open from the outside. The eyes of everyone in the venue were on the person standing at the door, Li Yunhan looked around in embarrassment, and sat down stupidly.
Hou Ying glanced at it, and her face fluctuated a lot.
The two disciples who arrived suddenly were the third senior brother of Ming Shen, who had a battle with Master Jianyuan, a guest of the West Pole Sect not long ago, and has not been able to speak normally. His face was grim at this time, one hand was on his throat, and his lips trembled. And behind him was Senior Sister He Qiongjiu, the fifth rank of the six generations of disciples, who was a disciple of the Heart and the Taoist. Senior Sister He was Hou Ying's only close friend in the sect, and when Hou Ying saw her rude coming in with Ming Shen, her face turned very bad.
And He Qiongjiu, who came in at this time, was diametrically opposed to Ping Suli's enthusiastic and active personality. The frowning willow eyebrows were full of worry, but it seemed that the object of worry was Mingshen, who had almost no friends around him.
"Su Jianshi... Sorry to bother you. In the fifth seat, He Qiongjiu, this is the third junior brother of Mingshen. I really have no choice but to find a sword master like you in the inner sect at present. ”
Ming Shen's face was flushed, but his lips were extremely pale, and he coughed violently twice, and his whole state was very abnormal. "I know. You help him to the front of the platform and make him sit down. Su Qiao didn't procrastinate. That night, she and Hou Ying were in Guanmei Peak, and Su Qiao knew about a vicious battle between Mingshen and that monk. Especially his roar of the lion in Hedong. He must have already called out the wound in his throat, and in this state, it is likely that he will touch the wound during the sword practice, causing the originally active internal qi to be blocked around his throat.
"It was a sore throat that night......
"Senior Brother Bai, take everyone away. Xia Fanxing looked at Ming Shen, who had fought with the disciples of the West Pole Sect for three hundred rounds not long ago, and did not hesitate to cause damage to his body to achieve victory, and at this moment, he was sitting in front of the platform in a meditative posture, but his whole body couldn't help but tremble. He thought about it for a while, and sent the sound to Bai Xing, a disciple of the middle gate who was stunned, and asked them to leave.
Su Qiao half-knelt in front of him, and at some point there was an extremely thin needle in his hand, flashing with imperceptible silver light. Gently piercing Ming Shen's chin, a white gas slowly floated out from Su Qiao's hand, encircling between her hand and his chin.
Su Qiao conjured up an object in his hand again, which was a pale yellow elixir. She took the silver needle from Mingshen's chin, who was enduring the pain. The silver needle returned to her hand, and immediately became its normal thickness, and she strung the elixir and threw it into the platform. "Isn't it too serious when you practice swords?" Su Qiao clasped his hands together, and the elixir in the Dao platform floated into the air, and the silver needle had disappeared. The elixir was slowly tempered by the pure aura in the Dao platform. She didn't look back, and asked He Qiongjiu, who was looking at Mingshen on the ground worriedly.
"Senior Brother Ming, he was practicing his sword in the sword training forest behind the sect mansion at that time. Su Jianshi, he used a pair of double-strand swords. I was there at the time. At first he could still speak softly... When he practiced a style, the junior disciple jumped into the air, but he couldn't control the balance of his body and fell down. I hurriedly ran to see him, but he spat out a mouthful of black blood and pointed to his throat to send me a message that he couldn't speak. It was as if something was choking his throat. Then, he was as hot as he was now, and he was very weak..... "He Qiongjiu hurriedly told Su Qiao the wording he had just thought of, for fear that he had missed something.
Su Qiao continued to refine the spirit pill with the spiritual energy in the Dao platform, without looking back, and continued to explain, "The two swords of the double-strand sword each have different attributes. Anyone who cultivates a two-handed weapon will have a much greater burden of fusing veins in his body than others. Ming Shen is very smart, in this case, his swordsmanship cultivation is often to use the method of refining Qi Great Zhou Tian, and then consciously control the middle fusion vein to absorb the aura that flows from each branch. It does not directly transport the qi to the Zhongrong vein.
It's just that this trick shouldn't be used at this time. His throat had actually hurt quite a bit that night. On the surface, it is just a hoarse voice, but in fact, it has left hidden wounds. If the breath is too violent, it is easy to tear open the hidden wound in the throat.
However, before the wound in his throat was revealed, he had been running several Great Zhou Heavenly Spiritual Qi Operations. As a result, there is still a large amount of true breath left in the body that has not had time to absorb or release. The throat was originally used to share the pressure of the Great Zhou Heaven, but at this time, due to the occlusion of the injury, the route is blocked, and a large amount of true qi will be placed in the throat. Breath blockage, this is a taboo in cultivation. The way he looks now is all due to the various negative effects caused by the blockage of the aura. ”
Su Qiao said, stretched out his hands, and gathered the pill that was suspended on the platform and became darker and darker, and after taking it off, he put it in the palm of his hand for a while, and then took it out.
Ming Shen, who was still trembling on the ground, glanced at the pill with difficulty. In Su Qiao's hands for only a moment, the pill turned completely white.
"Ate it. Then slowly run the aura to the throat and warm it for a while. Urge the Lingding, and try your best to expel all the spiritual energy in your body with all your strength. Then you go back and get some rest for two days. It's fine for now. However, the hidden wound in the throat can no longer be ignored. If you have time, be sure to find the Soul Dao Master to take a look at it for you. ”
"Thank you, Swordsman. An intermittent sound reached her ears. Ming Shen's face, which was originally a little handsome, was tormented by the swelling true breath in his body at this time, and his facial features were distorted. He opened his mouth with difficulty to swallow the elixir handed by Su Qiao, and as she said, he endured a strong sense of discomfort and lucked his true qi.
He Qiongjiu watched Ming Shen's expression gradually settle down, and couldn't help but thank Su Qiao, "Thank you so much Su Jianshi!"
At this time, Su Qiao turned around and made a color to Xia Fanxing, who was quietly watching them. Xia Fanxing immediately came back to his senses, glanced to the left at Senior Sister Hou, who was expressionless, and cautiously transmitted the voice, "We should go?......
"You're welcome... But I still have some important things to do in a while, and I can't take care of you Mingshen. Su Qiao said with a smile. Pack the book of the Beginner Heart Sword Technique on the floor to the bookshelf on the side of the room. He Qiongjiu didn't say anything, stood beside Ming Shen, and asked in a low voice, "How do you feel......
Su Qiao turned his face to the door, and suddenly grinned as if he had thought of something funny. Looking back, he sighed, "No, I can't let go of my heart." Your name is Qiong Jiu, right? Can you stay here with him for the rest of the day? I'll probably be back in the evening. I'll leave you another pill. If he can't get rid of the clogged aura the first time, you squeeze a drop of Ming Shen's blood and use the spiritual fire to mix and refine the two. ”
He Qiongjiu was stunned for a moment, and her beautiful face showed some hesitation, "Sword Master... The younger generation thinks..."
"Sword master, sword master! Actually... I can watch Senior Brother Mingshen here!" Before she could express her meaning, Li Yunhan, a lively junior sister who had been silent for a long time, jumped down from the meditation platform and raised her hand excitedly and said.
"Don't make a mess. Xia Fanxing looked at Senior Sister Li's excited appearance and couldn't help but laugh.
"Swordsman, don't listen to him. I can take care of Senior Brother Mingshen, and it's okay..."
He Qiongjiu couldn't help but say, "Sword Master, then I'll take care of my junior brother." Yun Han, you obediently go back and practice your swordsmanship. Senior Brother Xia is right, don't mix it up. ”
"You... You kids are so much fun. Su Qiao sighed with a smile, "Qiong Jiu, it's not bad for multiple people to look at him." If Mingshen's illness is more serious, you can also take care of him, and the other can go out to find someone to help, don't you say?"
He Qiongjiu grinned and nodded. Laughing, "Okay, okay." I'm afraid that in this case, Senior Sister will not only have to take care of Senior Brother Ming, but also take care of Yunhan, a little guy!"
Ming Shen, who was sitting on the ground, had a smile overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Then I'll go first. Su Qiao turned around, but Li Yunhan stopped her again. "Sword Master, Su Sword Master... I'll put something on the left side of the first floor on that bookshelf over there. I didn't have time to ask you just now, no matter when you come back, the swordsman, I'll put it there. I have some questions about sword practice written on it, please be sure to help me take a look... Master, the old man also said that these things are too profound for me, and they don't explain them to me..."
Su Qiao looked back, Li Yunhan took out a completely yellowed sword book out of nowhere, held it in his hand, and looked at her with a blank gaze and pleaded.
"No problem. However, I may not be able to see the famous things that are long in the heart and yang Dao. Su Qiao said frankly.
Li Yunhan waved his hand with a big grin, patted his ass, and said, "Sword Master, you are so powerful, Senior Brother Ming has eaten Sword Master's pill, and no one is shaking." How can you not understand these swordsmanship we have learned......"
"Oh, by the way, those two must take care of Senior Brother Ming. There were also some things with Senior Sister Hou in Xia, so they left first. Xia Fanxing took the opportunity to get up and said, exchanged glances with Su Qiao at the gate, and turned his head to look at Hou Ying's pretty face full of indifference. Her eyes stared at He Qiongjiu beside Mingshen, and her face was surprisingly cold.
"Senior sister, let's go?" Xia Fanxing asked in a low voice.
"Qiongjiu, you come out first, Senior Sister has a few words to say to you. Hou Ying stood up suddenly, a faint voice sounded, and before He Qiongjiu could agree to come, she walked out. He Qiongjiu seemed a little timid, moved slowly, and left the cultivation mansion.
Xia Fanxing walked out very strangely and saw the two sisters walking in the opposite direction to him and Su Qiao.
Su Qiao sent a voice, "Let's go first, go to the foot of Guanmei Peak and wait for Qiqi to come." ”
