"Heaven gives birth to all things, and the Tao is in all things, and it exists in nature in all forms. The so-called enlightenment is detachment, continuous sublimation, finding the origin of life, and achieving eternity, this is the essence of the Heavenly Dao swordsmanship, what it really wants to give you. ”

"You're not enlightening, you're not swinging your sword, you're just standing still. ”

"What are the cicadas doing?"

I asked aloud from the sidelines, with a faint doubt in my voice.

She was slightly stunned, as if she suddenly became overwhelmed, stopped her swordsmanship, and bowed her head in front of me without saying a word, like a child who has made a mistake.

The evening class was almost starting, and the disciples had finished the class from other gentlemen, and came to the Mingguang Palace to stand with their swords in their hands, waiting for my instructions. Gradually, there were more people, and more eyes fell on me and the cicada.

"Go on, you go up there and practice your sword. ”

My gaze fell on the one hundred and one step white jade steps, and the cicada's small body trembled, not daring to disobey my order, walked to the giant gate of Mingguang Palace, and began to practice the sword under the puzzled gaze of the disciples of the whole sect, but each sword move was messy, and it was even worse than the morning practice.

I frowned slightly, this is the third day in a row that she has been left by me, and after today, I will not teach her alone anymore, lest the disciples be dissatisfied.

"Isn't that a little cicada? Senior Brother is angry, how can she go up there, and she won't panic when she goes there?"

"Alas, it's not, Senior Brother has been teaching her alone for three days, and the Heavenly Dao Sword Technique has been practiced no less than forty times, but none of them can satisfy Senior Brother. ”

"If you want to say the little cicada, that's the one who likes the elder brother the most, in order to draw the portrait of the senior brother, I don't know how to scrap tens of thousands of pieces of paper, and the room is full of portraits of the elder brother's countless postures, some hold swords, some lean against trees, and some have negative hands...... There are so many of them, and they simply draw everything about the elder brother into it. ”

"So powerful, but in this case, the cultivation will definitely be put down, no wonder the senior brother has taught her for so many days and still has not broken through, I'm afraid that the obsession is too deep. ”

Because the time has not yet arrived, there are some small words at the bottom because of the cicadas on the stage, and I look at the cicada Chuchu with some surprise.

The cicada could grit her teeth and persist in the sword after practicing for a day at the beginning, but these small words made her unbearable, her eyes were suddenly full of tears, and her panting voice was also mixed with a little whimper.

I sighed, stood up and frowned, and drank, "Silence!"

The sound swept through the audience, and the disciples were instantly silent, and they didn't dare to turn their heads and ears, but I heard a crisp sword behind me, and turned my head to look, only to see that the cicada Chu Chu actually dropped his sword and ran away crying.

Am I being too harsh......

But if you don't, how will you survive the chaos of the Three Realms less than a hundred years later?

I picked up the sword of the cicada, and there were two lovely pink beads tied to the end of the sword, which did not affect the sword, and it was easy to distinguish it from other people's swords.

I walked down the steps, in front of many disciples, filled the long sword in my hand with spiritual power, and then plunged it into the ground inch by inch.

"This sword can only be pulled out if she truly enlightens, otherwise, let her leave the Heavenly Dao Sect, she is not suitable for cultivating immortals. ”

I turned around, my wide robe fluttering in the wind, and the indifferent words came into the hearts of every disciple: "Heavenly Dao Sword Technique 'Spin' Character Technique, practice for half an hour, and then form a team to compete, the winner can leave first, and the loser will practice for another half an hour." ”

"Yes!"

......

At that time, there was no one in front of the Mingguang Palace, and I stood on top of the palace, under the full moon, looking at the sword I had inserted into the ground, and waited silently.

A small head poked out from behind the stone lion, and in the moonlight, the tears on her face could be faintly seen, and she quietly came to the sword and looked at her sword in a daze.

The cicada stretched out her hand at the beginning of the year, holding the hilt of the sword, her face was flushed, but the sword was stuck in the ground as steady as a rock, not moving at all, and after trying a few times, she fell to the ground, dancing with her hands, screaming and screaming, looking distressed.

Just when I was thinking about whether to dissipate the spiritual power on the sword, Cicada Chu Chu sat up and closed his eyes to breathe. I threw my hands on the eaves to see what she was going to do.

After a long time, when she opened her eyes again, her eyes were already cold, when she held the sword, the spiritual power stirred all over her body, the sleeve robe rose without wind, and the sword inserted into the ground was actually pulled out by her, she instantly showed her happy appearance, but she was in a state of mind for a moment, and the sword stopped moving again.

If you look closely, her cold eyes just now are a bit like me.

I see, are you watching me in your heart?

The heart is held, the heart is kept, it is enlightenment, this little girl has good spirituality, and her resilience is also good, but she has gone astray for a while, and after experiencing this, she should have grown.

Then she breathed a few more times, and after drawing her saber with difficulty, she left wearily with the sword in her arms.

I looked at the night, jumped off the height, walked in the direction of the kitchen, cooked a tea myself, accompanied by a pot of wine, I saluted a cup of heavenly jade wheel, and was drunk with the shadow.

In a trance, there seemed to be a faint sound of breathing beside me, and I turned my head to look, but there was no one, only the cold wind and the fallen leaves.

touched the ground, as if there was still someone's residual warmth, someone's fragrance, and someone's melodious piano sound......

I threw my head up, drank the warmth from the flask, leaned my back against the door, and my breath turned into a white mist in the air, obscuring my eyes.

"Why does my soul injury automatically heal, is the 10,000-year-old demon fox really so powerful, even if I am just a wisp of remnant soul from him, I can still enjoy the benefits of immortality, why...... Don't let me continue to be stupid. ”

A dream in a world, a prosperous life in an empty world.

Closing my eyes, I let my mind empty until the moon faded and the sun rose.

A paper crane flew around the corner, found me on the spot, stretched out his hand to grab it, I opened my eyes, the paper crane automatically unfolded in my hand, and the vigorous pen and ink came into my eyes.

"The second head is summoned. ”

I closed the letter, brushed off the jade dew on my clothes, and walked to the residence of the second master, there was still some time before the morning class, and I was not in a hurry.

When I came to the residence of the second master, it was not as majestic as the palace of the second master, but just a simple courtyard, with two disciples guarding the door, and when I saw me, I said respectfully: "Senior brother, the second master has been waiting for a long time. ”

I nodded, and then entered the courtyard, through the path full of bamboo, through the vermilion corridor, in the spacious stone road courtyard, I saw a man in a green shirt, his temples were a little gray, but his appearance was very young, he was sitting on a stone chair and drinking tea with his eyes closed, surrounded by a piece of emerald green, which looked very comfortable and elegant.

Behind him stood a man, young and with a face like a crown of jade, but with a bit of cynicism in his smile.

"Junying, you're here. ”

"The second master. "I respectfully bowed to the second head Wang Lang who was sitting, as a junior, naturally I couldn't hold it up in front of him. And this second head usually does things rigorously, and he is almost always taking care of the whole faction, which is convincing.

"I heard that you were born in Shiyan?"

"Yes. ”

"That's just right, because now Shiyan has become a magic land, strange things continue to grow, and the miasma continues to expand, which has seriously threatened the surrounding neighboring countries. After the three heads of the family around the discussion, the ten factions in the world have decided to send disciples to subdue the demon, you are the senior brother of the faction, naturally you should be the leader, although you are a little lower, but you are deeply involved in my sect exercises, stable and reliable, but also familiar with the road of the Shiyan Demon, send you to I can rest assured. ”

"The disciple will live up to expectations, kill demons, and raise my prestige. ”

"Hmm. Wang Lang nodded with satisfaction, as if he remembered something, and said, "Where is the senior brother in charge?"

"Let's go, I said that I was going to the old man of Gushan to discuss the matter of the demon lord. ”

"Hmph, I don't know if he has asked him to handle the matter of 10,000 catties of yellow paper? ”

Listening to the heavy hum of the second master in front of me, my stiff face twitched, and I felt a depressed feeling of being scolded for my master.

"I've also been told, it's right to look at the direction to go to the Treasure Rune Gate. ”

"That's good, I finally remember my responsibilities as heads. ”

Wang Lang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Okay, you go and prepare for going out of the mountain, but your time in the mountain is short, and your reputation is slightly lower, let your second senior brother accompany you to gather some people, relax, and take this trip out of the mountain as a trial." ”

"Thank you for your concern. ”

"Go ahead. ”

I finally gave up, took the warrant to leave the mountain, turned around and left the small courtyard, and the second senior brother, who was originally standing behind the second master, followed and walked side by side with me.

After leaving the courtyard where the second head of the family lived, the second senior brother Ye Tuansheng's shoulders suddenly relaxed, and the whole person became a hanger.

"Junying, have you tasted any good wine from outside recently?"

He smiled, and under his sword eyebrows was a pair of thin peach blossom eyes, full of affection and informality, and his pale red lips curled into a dizzying smile.

"Nope. ”

"Don't be so stingy, I can smell the smell of wine on your body, give me a little to taste, and I'll exchange three spirit swords with you." ”

"I made it myself. ”

"Wow, it's so powerful, you know it's good wine when you smell this faint aroma, then five spirit swords!"

“...... I'm not sitting on the ground with you. ”

"Oh, then you give me for free. ”

"No, I don't. ”

"Little Yingying, you and I are the closest senior brothers, how can you bear to be happy by yourself, let me be lonely in the empty pavilion, woo woo woo ......"

It's as if I'm an cheating husband and he's a grudge woman......

I glanced at him with sharp eyes, but the other party's skin was too thick, and it was too difficult to pierce it, so I gave up my plan to ignore him, but I didn't expect that the fact that he was stalking was too superb, begging for wine all the way, and finally he promised ten favors, I was annoyed, and finally handed over two pots, and my ears became clear.

Alas, this is already the one hundred and ninety-fifth favor he owes, and I really don't know when he will be able to pay it back.
