Mu Jinglu and the others had turned around and gone up the mountain, leaving only Lu Zhu and Li Ningyang in front of the stone sword at the mountain gate.

"Why not, why not?" Lu Zhu unwillingly kept touching the stone sword, his mouth kept muttering to himself, and his eyes became a little red.

Li Ningyang took a few steps forward and came to Lu Zhu's side, and said softly: "Lu Protector, the chief of Fang Cai has already said that you don't care too much about Shi Jian. After all, not everyone's chances are on this stone sword. ”

"What do you know!" Lu Zhu suddenly turned around and yelled at Li Ningyang, and said angrily: "It's also a loose cultivator, why can't you?"

Lu Zhu's roar made Li Ningyang frown and his eyes froze. For Lu Zhu, he is Lu Zhu's predecessor and elder, even if Lu Zhu is unwilling, he should not be so rude to himself. Moreover, he still regarded Lu Zhu as his friend, and kindly persuaded Li Ningyang to be angry.

However, thinking of his identity and the feelings between Mu Jinglu and Lu Zhu, Li Ningyang took a light breath and stepped back. After yelling, Lu Zhu didn't stop, turned around and still kept touching the stone sword, and finally kept muttering.

Li Ningyang looked at Lu Zhu's back, turned around and left the stone sword in front of the gate of Sword Pavilion Mountain. Looking at the word 'Sword Pavilion' in the small seal font above the mountain gate of the Sword Pavilion, Li Ningyang's eyes narrowed, and he seemed to be able to comprehend something on the word 'Sword Pavilion'. However, because of the influence of Fang Cai's displeasure with Lu Zhu, Li Ningyang's mood was a little uneven, and after staring to no avail, Li Ningyang respectfully bowed his hand to the mountain gate, and walked towards the mountain gate.

The first time he returned to the Sword Pavilion, Li Ningyang did not plan to use any body technique, but walked up the mountain step by step, without even using the spiritual power in his body, completely relying on his body that was already a little rotten, and resisted going up the mountain.

After Li Ningyang left, Lu Zhu, who was alone, almost became crazy. "Ahh

With a muffled bang, a huge anti-shock force came from the stone sword, sending Lu Zhu flying in the direction of the Sword Pavilion Mountain Gate. With another bang, Lu Zhu fell hard in front of the mountain gate, prostrate on the ground and did not move.

After a long time, Lu Zhucai staggered up. Lu Zhu looked at the stone sword with a somewhat fierce expression, then looked at the Sword Pavilion Mountain Gate behind him, wiped away the blood that overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and then staggered up.

After getting up, Lu Zhu seemed to have returned to his usual state of mind, and after taking a deep breath, he knelt on his knees and bowed respectfully to the mountain gate of the Sword Pavilion: "The disciple is not strong-minded, he has insulted the mountain gate, and he also asks the ancestor to forgive his sins." ”

Lu Zhu knocked his head a few times before he slowly got up, crossed the mountain gate, and slowly walked towards the Sword Pavilion behind the mountain gate.

After Lu Zhu left, a man dressed in black appeared in front of the Sword Pavilion Mountain Gate. It is still a coat and hat covering his head, and he can't see his face clearly. The man looked at the stone sword, and then stared at Lu Zhu, who was still climbing the mountain in the distance, and then his figure flashed and disappeared in front of the sword pavilion mountain gate.

If the pastoral path is here, you will definitely be able to recognize who this person is, it is the sword slave in the sword mound on the sword mountain of the Sword Pavilion.

On the huge square outside the Heaven Slashing Palace, Mu Jing Lu was receiving a warm reception from the Sword Pavilion Master Jian Yu and a group of elders. More enthusiastic than people, it is naturally the soil dog pet that the pasture road almost forgets, Erha.

"The disciples meet the pavilion master and the elders. "All the people in the Sword Pavilion are here, and the pastoral path is not too casual, after all, Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu are still outsiders at this time, so it is better to save some face for the pavilion master and elders.

"Haha... You're back, you kid. Jian Chao laughed happily, "A simple nightmare slashing mission has actually been made so many things by you." ”

After the Mujing Road slew the Nightmare Demon, since the army arrived at Xuanyuan Hill, the name of the Mujing Road has spread all over Liangzhou and Yongzhou. In addition, the matter of Mujing Road in the secret realm of Xudu was shaken out, and now the name of Mujing Road is almost spread throughout Kyushu.

In the future, after the cultivation of the Mujing Road is to keep up and be able to completely protect himself, and then appear in Kyushu as the chief disciple of the Sword Pavilion, is it still far from the time when the Sword Pavilion will return to its former red and majestic appearance?

Although the pasture path has formed a lot of grudges outside, it is harmless for the Sword Pavilion that has not completely fallen.

"The pavilion master forgives the sin, and the disciple is helpless. Mu Jinglu saw that he was admitting his mistake, but his expression was smug and said: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes." How can he not be stabbed when he is often drifting in the rivers and lakes? Those people who are offended by the disciples are just self-preservation. ”

"Hahaha..."Jian Yu laughed loudly this time, and said with satisfaction: "It's okay, although my Sword Pavilion has been hiding from the world for thousands of years, it is not a persimmon that can be manipulated at will. You kid can make a fuss as long as you can save your life. ”

When Mu Jinglu left the Sword Pavilion, Jian Yu handed over a bunch of sword orders to Mu Jinglu, just to let Mu Jinglu find a monk with reliable character to use it for his own use and strengthen the Sword Pavilion when Mu Jinglu was training.

Now that Mu Jing Lu brought Xie Bi'an and Fan Wu Su to the Sword Pavilion, Jian Yu naturally understood the intention of Mu Jing Lu. As the saying goes, when it is time to pretend to be forced, you must pretend to be fresh and refined, and the master of a pavilion will naturally have a perfect grasp of pretending. In particular, Jian Chao saw a little excitement and yearning in the eyes of Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu, and Jian Chao naturally had nothing to scruple about.

The effect of pretending to be forced is also remarkable, after the sword confusion domineering remarks, Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusheng, who were still holding back the excitement and seemed as calm as possible, their hands were already trembling slightly at this time.

This is the Sword Pavilion! That indomitable momentum, that handsome sword posture, is the posture that our generation of monks should have. Xie Bi'an shouted secretly, and at the same time, the thought of wanting to join the Sword Pavilion rose in his heart.

"The disciple thanked the pavilion master. Mu Jinglu bowed respectfully, then turned around and led Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu to everyone, and introduced with a chuckle: "Pavilion master, elders. These two are Xie Bi'an and Fan Wu's eldest brother, before returning to the mountain gate for the first time, it was Brother Xie and Brother Fan who saved the lives of their disciples. ”

"Oh?!" Hearing this, Jian Yu bowed his hand slightly to Xie Bi'an and Fan Wuxuan, and said with a grateful look: "Poor Dao thanked the two Taoist friends. If it weren't for the help of the two Dao friends, the Qilin disciple of the Poor Dao would probably have to fold in the hands of the Demon Nightmare. ”

Although the number of people in the Sword Pavilion is small, there are only a few elders in front of them, but with the knowledge of Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu for many years, it can be seen that none of the elders in front of them are probably lower than the green rank. Jian Yu was so polite, respected the two of them, and gave them enough face.

Xie Bi'an and Fan Wuxuan were a little flattered and bowed back: "The seniors are polite, eliminating the demons and defending the Dao, drawing the sword to help, it is the duty of my generation of monks, and the seniors don't need to be like this." ”

"Hahaha... It's my duty. Jian Yu laughed loudly this time, and said with an admiring look: "The two Taoist friends are sincere, and he will definitely achieve great success in the future." ”

"Okay, Brother Xie, Brother Fan. Mu Jinglu interrupted Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusheng, who were about to reply, "You're welcome." Now that I have come to my Sword Pavilion, I can enjoy the scenery of the poor mountain with peace of mind. After the younger brother reported his safety to his mother, he asked the two eldest brothers to talk about it. ”

"What the nephew said is very true. Jian Yu nodded approvingly, turned to Huang Chenglin, who was leaning over and had a kind expression, and said, "Elder Huang, arrange arrangements for the two Daoists." ”

"Yes, Pavilion Master. Huang Chenglin chuckled and bowed his hand, and then took Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu around the main hall and walked towards the Heart Cultivation Hall behind the main hall.

Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu had just left, and Li Ningyang's figure appeared on the square outside the Heaven Cutting Palace.

Li Ningyang's body was already a little rickety, and he didn't use any spiritual power to climb the mountain, Li Ningyang at this time seemed to have been blistered, not to mention wet, and he looked a little sluggish.

"Brother Tie Gui!" Seeing this, Mu Jinglu looked a little flustered, and hurriedly rushed forward, intending to help Li Ningyang over.

"Chief, stop. Li Ningyang's slightly weak voice sounded, stopping Mu Jinglu's behavior, "As a disciple of the Sword Pavilion, it is the first time to return to the mountain, and the road to the mountain needs to be completed by the old man himself, so don't interfere with it." ”

Mujinglu was stunned when he heard this, and stood by the stone steps a little helpless. After Jian Yu, Jian Ren, Xiang Miao and Zhang Muchen listened to Li Ningyang's words, their expressions became solemn and solemn, and they all came to the edge of the square, staring at Li Ningyang, who was about to collapse.

Inside the Sword Pavilion Mountain Gate, a large number of spirit stones are supported on the pasture path, and the mountain protection array has already been opened.

The Sword Pavilion's mountain protection array is not only able to defend against enemies, but naturally there are many prohibitions inside. In addition to the first prohibition of the word 'Sword Pavilion' carved on the gate of Jianshan Mountain, the second is this long staircase.

These prohibitions are hidden for the true disciples of the Sword Pavilion. There are two conditions for a true disciple of the Sword Pavilion. The first is to carry the sword order, and the second is to worship the ancestors of the Sword Pavilion and obtain the recognition of the Sword Pavilion Mountain Protection Array.

Li Ningyang has some understanding of the stone sword, and has initially been recognized by the mountain protection array, and the first prohibition naturally did not embarrass Li Ningyang. The second prohibition, without worshipping the ancestors of the Sword Pavilion, is impossible to eliminate, and Li Ningyang will naturally be restricted.

What Mu Jinglu didn't know was that the long staircase of the Sword Pavilion had a name, called 'Heavenly Sword Refining Heart'.

It is called heart refining, but it is actually three points of refining the body and seven points of refining the heart. With Li Ningyang's cultivation of the green rank, as long as he resists a little, he can go up and down at will. But the stubborn Li Ningyang did not use any spiritual power, so that Li Ningyang's journey to the mountain was extremely difficult.

Fortunately, Li Ningyang's cultivation was there, and he still relied on his own body to climb up.

Li Ningyang lowered his head at this time, and did not notice the people of the Sword Pavilion who were staring at him. Looking at the stairs with seven steps left, Li Ningyang took a few deep breaths, used all his strength, and stepped up step by step.

With a pop, the last step of the stairs passed, and Li Ningyang fell to the edge of the square.

"Hahaha... The disciple is done, the disciple is done. Li Ningyang turned over, lay down in the sky, and laughed excitedly. The excitement in his eyes overflowed with words, allowing anyone to see Li Ningyang's heartfelt respect for the ancestors of the Sword Pavilion.

"Sacrifice the sword!" The solemn voice suddenly came out of the mouth of the sword confusion. Jian Chao roared, Jian Chao and several elders behind him sacrificed their spirit swords one after another, and then flew above Li Ningyang's head at the same time, and slammed into each other with a bang.

The impact sound was not too loud, but it resounded crisply throughout the entire Sword Pavilion Mountain Gate. Immediately after, the Mountain Protection Array of the Sword Pavilion Mountain Gate suddenly let out a gentle roar, and a five-colored spiritual light with the thickness of an arm shot down from the Sword Pavilion Mountain Protection Array, and quickly imprinted on Li Ningyang's forehead and eyebrows.

The sudden change shook the pasture path and shook the road. And Li Ningyang, who was lying on the ground, his eyes widened, and a fine light shot out from Li Ningyang's eyes, and quickly connected to the Mountain Protection Array of the Sword Pavilion along the spiritual light on Li Ningyang's forehead.

"Sacrifice the sword, Licheng!" A solemn voice came, the source of the voice was not Jian Yu or other people, but from all around, and it seemed that countless people were surrounding the pastoral path and waiting for others to say this.

After the voice disappeared, the aura of the mountain protection array and the essence light in Li Ningyang's eyes disappeared at the same time. After the vision disappeared, Li Ningyang, who was originally extremely weak, instantly recovered as before.

"The disciples meet the pavilion master and the elders. Li Ningyang turned over and stood up, leaning over and saluting respectfully to Jian Yu and the others.

"Ningyang, get up. Jian Yu responded with a straight face, and Li Ningyang rose in response.

Mu Jinglu looked at Li Ningyang and Jian Yu and the others with a confused expression, and hurriedly asked suspiciously: "Pavilion Master, this is..."

"Since the establishment of my Sword Pavilion, as long as the sword heart is firm and the mind is upright, it can become the 'Protector of the Formation'. Jian Yu chuckled and explained indifferently. But in the eyes of Mu Jing Lu, Mu Jing Lu could clearly see their extremely excited and excited mood from the eyes of Jian Qi and the other elders.

"'Protector of the Formation'?"

"Hmm. The Dharma protector will not die, and my Sword Pavilion will not be extinguished. ”

"Even if there are tens of thousands of Dao Venerables outside the mountain protection array, they will not be destroyed?"

"Nor will it be destroyed. ”

Jian Qi said it easily, but Mu Jinglu was shocked. If the Dharma Protector had been protected within the Sword Pavilion Mountain Gate all along, wouldn't the Sword Pavilion always be invincible? But if this was the case, how could the Sword Pavilion become so ordered.

As if to confirm the words of the sword confusion, the mountain protection array suddenly flashed slightly, and a silver sword spirit that was different from all the sword spirits on Mu Jinglu's body appeared in front of Li Ningyang's eyes.

Li Ningyang also seemed to know that this sword order was his own sword order, so he solemnly stretched out his hand and grabbed the sword order in his hand.

"The rise of my Sword Pavilion is just around the corner!"
