Chapter 3, Su Qiao

As soon as the figure saw someone rushing towards him, he immediately drew the long sword at his waist. Xia Fanxing felt a sword light flash in front of his eyes. But the speed was already a little slower in his eyes, and it could be seen that the opponent's weapon was far inferior to his Yuqing Spirit Sword.

The man didn't run straight towards Zhixuan Peak, but after seeing Xia Fanxing rushing towards him, he directly bumped into him, and the weapons of the two let out a piercing scream. Xia Fanxing didn't feel too much pressure, but the other party was actually numb, and patted his hand holding the sword a little embarrassed, and continued to hold him tightly.

"Zheng Hong?" Xia Fanxing was really taken aback when he saw the other party's face. Wasn't the uninvited guest in a black robe his junior brother Zheng Hong? But he quickly reacted, indeed, he came from the direction of the Inner Sect just now, and it couldn't be someone from the outside who came to make trouble.

Before Jin Ru at the foot of the mountain could react, Xia Fanxing had already rushed out. At this time, she also saw Zheng Hong's face clearly, and shouted helplessly at the foot of the mountain, "This is Senior Brother Zheng Hong! Senior Brother Xia, it's okay! You two come over quickly!"

Xia Fanxing breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the other party, he still had a stinky face as always. Just wanted to put the spirit sword back on his waist, Zheng Hong did not put down the sword, but moved again with an extremely fast body movement. This time, he used all his strength and quickly arrived behind Xia Fanxing.

Xia Fanxing's anger came up all of a sudden. The other party only has six layers of condensation, and he is far inferior to him in terms of divine sense induction and body method. He knew that Zheng Hong had practiced a kind of walking technique with Xin Heng, but he had no interest in it. That's why he's so fast, far beyond the monks of his rank. However, this is indeed a little too weak in front of Xia Fanxing, who has built the foundation of Qiding. casually turned to one side, and dodged Zheng Hong's palm.

At the same time, the voice of the junior brother sounded in his ears, "I want to practice!"

If you want to make a move with your senior brother, you don't have to pick this time, do you want to make such a play? Xia Fanxing just analyzed those terrible consequences, and he was already upset and irritable. Although Zheng Hong is extremely obsessed with cultivating martial arts, he usually appreciates it. But now he has also provoked the anger.

Xia Fanxing plans to give it a try, the effect of water bones in the past two months. By now, he had made more than twenty water holes in his right ribs. Since there is no good cultivation method, this progress is still far from cultivating it into a real water bone. However, it has been able to slightly enhance the absorption of the aura during exhalation, and coupled with the exhalation effect of the Seven Tripods of the Tsukiji, the aura absorbed now will be more refined, and the effect will be even better when the turbid qi is discharged from the body.

In other words, he is now releasing the aura in his body at will, and the dantian and the parts released at the two ribs will be more powerful and pure than before. However, this is not the strength of "Water God". What he really dreams of is that after cultivating the Seven Killing Star Qi, the external aura absorbs the water, and then transforms the water into the star qi with the Seven Killing Star Technique, which will be countless times higher than the average person's efficiency!

Xia Fanxing temporarily jumped into the air, waved his sword, and took a deep breath. On the right rib, which is not visible, more than 20 water holes emit a faint blue light. The seven Lingding that stood quietly outside the Dantian space made an unobservable movement.

The aura at the dantian began to be transported to all parts of the body. Xia Fanxing moved slightly, and quickly determined the location of Zheng Hong, who was urging the Swift Walk Technique to dodge. When he appeared behind him, Xia Fanxing slightly controlled the aura to leave his body, and seven spiritual smoke emanated from the seven spiritual tripods, which were finally absorbed by the dantian. The glow of the water hole disappears. A pure blue light appeared on his hand. Xia Fanxing shook the sword upward, wanting to use the hilt of the sword to give this junior brother a good blow.

But this action also gave Zheng Hong time to react. Although it was short, he immediately sensed movement behind him. He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly continued to urge the Swift Walk Technique, running fast, and flying towards the Spirit Mountain on the east side of Zhixuan Peak. Xia Fanxing didn't give up, kicked his feet, and followed behind him. However, when he urged the Swift Stepping Technique with all his might, Xia Fanxing couldn't catch up at once, so he could only follow closely behind.

What's more noteworthy is that both are now in the air, albeit not far from the ground. However, Zheng Hong had not stepped into the foundation building, nor was it condensed to perfection, and the strength of the refining body was impossible to support him to take off even for a short time. It's all thanks to the swift art he cultivated.

Xia Fanxing chased after him, but Zheng Hong's face was not afraid, but full of excitement. Seeing that he was about to hit Lingshan, he quickly turned around and rushed towards Zhixuan Peak. In turning, Xia Fanxing almost grabbed the collar of his robe, but he still let him continue running.

And with such a high-intensity use of the Rapid Walking Technique, Zheng Hong immediately felt tired. Soon, there was Zhixuan Peak in front of him. He knew that he was already very tired and could no longer chase after his senior brother. Just as he was about to hit Zhixuanfeng, he suddenly turned back on one side and killed a horse pistol. The sword in his hand stabbed backwards. But after all, the speed was too fast just now, and one side of the limit distance only opened up a little distance. Xia Fanxing, who was following closely behind, saw the sword blade appear in front of him, sneered, did not panic at all, raised the spirit sword with both hands, and slashed at the top of the sword hilt at a sudden speed with extremely fast speed.

Zheng Hong only felt that the tiger's mouth was in great pain, and when he looked at the weapon in his hand, it had already fallen to the ground. Xia Fanxing had already rushed to the front at a galloping speed, and the sword in Zheng Hong's hand was shot down by him just as he was about to stab Xia Fanxing, almost grazing Xia Fanxing's robe and falling to the ground. He looked at his hand, and blood was already spilling from the tiger's mouth. At this time, there was another burst of coercion behind him, and then what seemed to be the hilt of the sword knocked him heavily on the back, Zheng Hong snorted, fell to the ground, and quickly got up in embarrassment.

"You two!" Xia Fanxing, who looked at his junior brother with disdain, and then felt that Senior Sister Jin seemed to have been calling the two of them just now. This time, Uncle Luo was brought in. Seeing the dissatisfaction on Uncle Shi's face, he hurriedly pretended to help Zheng Hong, and said with a smile, "Uncle Shi is good... Isn't this a two-trick deal with Senior Brother Zheng? He's also my own brother......"

Zheng Hong saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly admitted his mistake to Luo Ji with his "senior brother". Luo Ji took the two of them to the foot of the mountain, Jin Ru also stood aside, and he asked Zheng Hong, "Zheng Hong, why didn't you guard your Buluo Mountain and come here to wander around?"

"Uncle Hui. Master asked me to go to Guanmei Feng to see him once in the morning, saying that there was something wrong. Then let me come to Senior Brother Xia and go to the Inner Sect to get him some pills... Senior brother, Master has something for me to tell you. He glanced at Xia Fanxing.

"You two say you two, meet when you meet. Why did they start a fight as soon as they met?" the two hurriedly apologized for their sins, saying to each other that they were just passing the tricks. Luo Ji said helplessly, "Forget it, don't do this in the sect next time." Not to mention this kind of time. With that, he went to the other side of the hill to inspect it.

Xia Fanxing helplessly glanced at the dusty junior brother who was still fanatical in his eyes. He knew this guy's character, he had a dead face all day long, but he never missed any opportunity to improve his cultivation level. I didn't say anything about what I just said. Jin Ru also said a few words to them, and left.

"Tell me what? After Xia Fanxing finished speaking, it occurred to him that at noon, the master did say that there was something for Zheng Hong to tell him.

"Originally, it was one thing. When I return to the Inner Sect, I have two things to tell you. ”

"Master said that recently there was a person on the top of Guanmei Peak, a woman. Master said that she would stay in the Tu Feng Sect for a while. I don't know why, she wants to see you once. Now she is in the first cultivation mansion of the Great Sect of the Inner Sect. After Zheng Hong finished speaking, Xia Fanxing couldn't help but be very vigilant. Could it be that the people on the top of Guanmei Peak were sent by foreign sects...

"Then, another thing. I went back to Neizong to see Senior Sister Hou. She wants to see you once, too. She said she would be waiting for you outside Uncle Xin's mansion in the afternoon. Let you... Hurry to her. ”

"Which one are you going to see?"

"Huh?" Xia Fanxing was just ready to meet that woman, why did Hou Ying also want to see him?

But that's right. After going through those things, Xia Fanxing didn't have a chance to have any close contact with Hou Ying this week when he returned to the sect. He thought about it carefully, gritted his teeth, showed a smile, patted his junior brother's shoulder and said, "Senior brother, I think it's more important to go and meet the first person first." Senior Sister Hou isn't in a hurry, is it?"

Zheng Hong was a little strange. Although he has always been out of place with others, he still knows Senior Sister Hou's character. I didn't expect this guy to be embarrassed... He hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay... Senior sister shouldn't be in a hurry. It's better to ......, though."

"You help me tell Senior Sister Jin and Uncle Luo, I'm leaving now. Xia Fanxing withdrew the sword into the scabbard at his waist. Patted him on the shoulder. Then, he immediately ran in the direction of the inner sect as fast as he could.

Soon, he arrived at the innermost part of the inner sect, where six generations of disciples gathered. In the north of the Six Dynasties region, there is a very large "Yexin Sect Mansion" of the Tu Feng Sect, which has always been used as a teaching residence for the youngest disciples.

Above the main gate of the Yexin Sect, a huge plaque writes the word "learning" with strong and powerful penmanship. Twenty-four sub-disciples like Xia Fanxing rarely come here in normal times, and they usually practice alone with their respective masters. So he stood at the gate and was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered where the first cultivation mansion was. Walk in and turn left, first the highest alchemy mansion. After a shaded path, turn right again.

This cultivation mansion is for the disciples of the middle sect who are not the twenty-four disciples among the inner disciples and the disciples with higher talents. Although only the cultivation mansions among the three mansions did not have a clear hierarchy, due to the large number of cultivation mansions, different levels were gradually formed to judge the level of disciples.

Xia Fanxing stood at the door and took a deep breath first. Because he knew that the person he saw after entering the door was most likely the person he had speculated. The envoy sent by the foreign sect to slaughter the pig sect. He had seen through the scheming of these people. Although he didn't know why the woman was looking for him by name, he had to deal with it very carefully.

After a moment, Xia Fanxing knocked on the door. A very gentle and delicate female voice came from inside, "Please come in." ”

He pushed the door open. He hadn't set foot in this place for a long time, and he found that it was still the same as he had seen before. In the huge hall, there is a statue of the ancestor enshrined on the platform. There is also a platform overflowing with spiritual light. Below, a meditation platform is placed a few meters apart. Although there are not many disciples who usually come to practice, there are still so many meditation platforms arranged in a grand manner when it is established.

At a glance, the cultivation mansion is very magnificent and magnificent, and there are also spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses between the gaps.

Xia Fanxing saw the person looking for him. She faced the platform, and he didn't see her face. The woman was dressed in a white dress with long hair hanging down her shoulders. He took a deep breath and said casually, "In the eighth Xia Stars of the next six generations, your Excellency? Oh, that's right. Aren't there any disciples coming to practice today?..."

The woman chuckled softly, "You should have seen me." ”

She's setting almost? Xia Fanxing's vigilance in his heart did not decrease at all, "Your Excellency is looking for me, why are you looking for me?"

The woman suddenly turned around. Xia Fanxing saw her face clearly this time. He was almost so startled that he couldn't stand on his feet, and he took a step back, trying to say something but he was already stuttering.

He did meet her... The woman had a smile on her face, although she had only met once, and the other party had not seen her... But Xia Fanxing recalled her at once!

At that time, when he was still in Chang'an City, when he was dealing with the unscrupulous boss Duan Qianshan, he accidentally met Master Xinheng and the woman in front of him in the bazaar. Disguised as a delivery boy, he followed Master to the inn and found her there. And then he was debunked by Xinheng .... At that time, the woman in front of me was sleeping, and she was smiling like this in her sleep. Xinheng was very concerned about her, and reminded him many times to keep quiet and not to wake up others......

Before leaving, Master also showed him a scene in the women's pill room. Her unique Dao Spiritual Diagram, which is a symbol of the Dan period.

"You... You are Su, Su ......" Xia Fanxing remembered that the master only told him the woman's surname.

The woman surnamed Su stood up and walked up to him with a smile, "My name is Su Qiao." You can be called my brother and sister. There is some basis for this. ”

Xia Fanxing didn't know why she said that, so she could only nod. However, all kinds of worries in Fang Cai's heart dissipated. This woman named Su Qiao was definitely not the person he speculated.

"Uh-huh?" Xia Fanxing didn't know what to say, so he responded awkwardly.

"I didn't see you that day. Su Qiao said, slowly pulling out the spirit sword from his waist. "Can you show me?"

Xia Fanxing nodded. Su Qiao held the spirit sword, and gently stroked the blade with his other hand. Then, a burst of vigorous Dan Qi rushed out of her body without warning, and before Xia Fanxing could react, Su Qiao had already moved to the front of the Dao Platform, and gently pointed forward with the Spirit Sword, and the golden aura overflowed from the blade of the sword, slowly merging into the blue aura that overflowed from the Dao Platform. The aura surged up from the ground with a surging momentum, hitting the headspace and stopping at the right time. The spirit sword broke away from Su Qiao's hand and levitated in front of the Dao platform. Xia Fanxing watched her move her fingers in surprise, and the spirit pillar several feet high retreated down and returned to the Dao platform. She waved her hand lightly again, and the spirit sword flew towards Xia Fanxing. He was startled and quickly reached out to catch it.

"This sword is made of rare spiritual ore jade clear stone, and if you hit it with breath, it has the magical effect of clearing the heart and calming the qi. I just tested it roughly, this kind of sword vein is quite similar to the three major sword veins, and it is not difficult to be proficient. Good sword also. ”

Su Qiao returned to him and said. The woman in front of her was completely different from the sickly appearance of lying on the bed that day, with pale lips and a quilt wrapped in a quilt on a hot day. Xia Fanxing listened to her words, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know much about swordsmanship and sword veins. The use of swords is only because it is convenient, and I have not specially cultivated any sword spectrum. In the next will only be some of the basic moves in ordinary swordsmanship. I don't understand what you just said. ”

"So, you and my master... Forget it, do you have anything to do with me?"

Xia Fanxing thought about it, but he still didn't plan to ask too much about the first formal meeting.

"The head of the heart has been kind to me. Something happened some time ago, and he didn't forget to take care of me after leaving the sect. Recently, due to the influence of some reasons, all the teachers of the sect have been unable to teach their respective disciples. I have some knowledge of swordsmanship, so the Taoist leader asked me to come to Yexin Sect as a temporary teacher temporarily. Of course, limited to swordsmanship. ”

Su Qiao stated the purpose of his being in the Tu Pig Sect. Xia Fanxing nodded, "So that's the case... Then I should call you Mr.

Su Qiao smiled, "If you want, call it that." ”

"Okay, okay... Sister Su, are you just my swordsmanship teacher, or...?" Xia Fanxing also confessed and asked.

"Every day from now on, I will be in this cultivation mansion. The Heart Heng Dao Master will also introduce me to other disciples. Su Qiao said.

"You came at this time, just in time to guard the mountain, I probably won't have much time..."Xia Fanxing said tentatively.

As expected, Su Qiao heard this and frankly told the reason for the matter. Sure enough, according to his speculation, there will really be a pre-test before the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony in a few days. The duration was five days, and by that time all the six generations of disciples would have to return to the Inner Sect.

"Oh, yes. I met a girl two days ago. Her cultivation is very amazing, and even the younger generation in the sixty-four sects of the Tang Dynasty is definitely ranked in the top ten. I talked to her for a while, and I thought she was interesting, so I went to ask your master. He told me that this girl left the sect with you for some reason?"

Xia Fanxing nodded, "Hou Ying, our second senior sister." When he thought of Hou Ying, he was suddenly startled, and remembered that she was going to find her by herself.

"Second Senior Sister, the seat of the Yexin Sect seems to be ranked according to her cultivation strength, right? Her cultivation is much higher than that Wang Yunming. Even if he is older than Hou Ying, he shouldn't call her the second senior sister, right?"

"That being said, but she's advanced by leaps and bounds since she came out of the secret realm, so her seat hasn't changed. Otherwise, if she is a disciple of the first rank, but the senior brother is much older than her, we call her the senior sister, and the senior brother can't use the second senior sister, but will call her Senior Sister Hou. She also had to change her words and call her Senior Brother Wang Yunming. Xia Fanxing quickly explained to her, and just wanted to say that she still had something, Su Qiao said again, "That's it... Miss Hou had a conversation with me, she was also a monk who practiced swords, and she seemed to be interested in me. He said he would come to me when the big array was closed. ”

"Oh... Sister Su, I still have some things, I may have to leave first. Nice to know, um, meet you. Xia Fanxing responded casually. It wasn't strange for Hou Ying to know these sect secrets. And Senior Sister Hou has always had a very high vision, she doesn't just recognize people as teachers, after all, the master she recognizes is the most famous slashing spear in the five generations. I don't know if Su Qiao, who came to Tu Feng Sect for the first time, is bragging, or if this woman really has an extraordinary understanding of kendo.

Su Qiao only smiled lightly when he saw his reaction. Xia Fanxing suddenly thought of something and asked, "Can you wait for me here at this time tomorrow?" I have something I want to show you. ”

"Of course. I'll be in this cultivation mansion for the rest of the day. ”

"Good...... See you tomorrow. ”

Xia Fanxing walked out of the gate of the sect, remembering something that he had almost forgotten. On the night when he first arrived in Liyang, after he sent the injured Li Wan to Zhiyun Temple, he fought wits and courage with the people who planted the sea with ghosts, and obtained two famous sword books of different grades of Zhiyun Temple, which are the sword books of Zhixing swordsmanship.

At that time, he had observed the sword formation in the dark alley when Li Wan was attacked, as well as the traces on the sword perch in the Zhiyun Guan Sword Forest, a kind of sword formation arrangement was vaguely formed between them, and the swordsmanship was very sharp. He was impressed by all this. His intuition told him that after the cultivation of this set of Star Weaving Sword Techniques was completed, it would definitely be comparable to the high-level swordsmanship of the sect realm. But at that time, the two sword books that Chonghai reluctantly gave him were of low grade. In addition, he has not had the time and energy to study swordsmanship, so he only glanced at it in a hurry, many of which are the most basic things in swordsmanship and the introduction of concepts such as sword veins and machine spirits. There is no nourishment for him. So for the time being, there is no progress on what should be a treasure of great development value.

Why don't you let this woman with a strange background and who seems to have a deep knowledge of swordsmanship come to help him? Maybe it's because of the master, he found that he still trusts her.
