For a few days, in addition to his daily practice, Su Chen carefully studied the two fingering techniques of gold and gold, and listened to Qin Yilong say that these two fingering techniques originally came from a large refining sect a long time ago, and they were one of the sect's unique sects, but unfortunately they were lost with the decline of this sect.

Qin Yilong was also lucky, and accidentally found a secret realm left by that sect, and not only obtained the purple cloud gold cultivated by the sect, but also obtained the two peerless skills of the point gold finger and the gold finger.

Qin Yilong had already studied these two peerless disciplines, so it was nothing to give them to Su Chen.

After Su Xingfeng and Bai Jing returned, they told their disciples and daughters about the incident in Jiuyao Palace, and Bai Jing said helplessly: "Fortunately, Yan'er and Chen'er didn't learn your stinky temper. ”

Su Xingfeng said disapprerovingly: "Why is it bad to learn from me? My children must have my temper, dare to say no, dare to speak out." ”

Bai Jing glanced at him and didn't bother to talk about him.

As for Su Chen and Su Yan, they also gave away their big eyes, Su Xingfeng feigned anger and said: "Two little guys, begging to fight!" After that, he made a gesture to catch Su Chen and Su Yan, and the two young people laughed and ran away.

Su Xingfeng didn't chase after him, and let Su Chen and Su Yan escape.

Bai Jing looked at the young man and woman, and said softly: "In a blink of an eye, it's been nine years. ”

Su Xingfeng also sighed: "Yes, it's been nine years. Chen'er's talent is obvious to all, and he can cultivate from the beginning to the Jindan Sixth Heaven in nine years, and even Yilong's child can't compare. ”

Bai Jing smiled: "You, when it comes to children, you talk about cultivation all day long, I mean that the two children have grown up, and it's time to think about their lifelong events." ”

Su Xingfeng was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and asked, "What about this? Which guy or girl do you have a crush on? Which child do we have a happy event for first?"

Bai Jing sighed, "You...... Forget it, I'll worry about it. ”

Half a month later, it is the day when the Xuanling Daoist enters the customs, which is a major event in the Daowu Palace, and the disciples in the door all gather in front of the Jiuyao Palace to send off the real person in charge.

There are no less than 1,000 disciples under the Daowu Palace, a few disciples have a special master, and more disciples are gathered together, while the elders or seniors in the door teach the scriptures and teach the law, and on the other hand, the disciples who are the first to guide the daily practice and teach some skills.

However, Daowu Palace has always had strict door rules, and when recruiting disciples, it attaches great importance to the character of disciples, and attaches great importance to the education of disciples' virtues after entry, so Daowu Palace is still relatively harmonious, and the disciples get along very well.

The head of the retreat and enlightenment avenue, once successful, to cultivate to a higher level, is naturally the blessing of the Daowu Palace, and with the strength of the Xuanling real person, there is no such thing as failure.

Xuanling Zhenren announced some of the matters after his retreat, and then, accompanied by the three disciples and the elders, entered the forbidden land of the back mountain, which was a place where ordinary disciples could not set foot, and where many of the seniors of the sect were in retreat.

After that, all the disciples dispersed, and Su Chen and Su Yan also left first.

Su Chen's expression suddenly became confused, and Dugu Zhu asked him, "What's wrong?"

Su Chen said: "After Grandpa Shi's retreat, Yan'er and I seem to have gone somewhere, but there is a fault in my memory here, I don't remember. ”

Dugu Zhu frowned, thought for a while, and said to Su Chen: "Then you talk about the rest of the matter first." ”

Su Chen nodded and talked about what happened later: "After that day, I often seem to think of that strange place, but I haven't been to it again. Just two days before the incident, I ......"

Su Chen felt a headache, because there was a fault in memory here, so he skipped it directly and continued: "Later, I had an accident, and there was a big problem with my body, I remember that it was Yan'er who brought me back to Wujian Cliff at that time, Master and Master were very anxious, but they couldn't find a way to cure me, so they asked for help from their fellow disciples, the elders were helpless, but Li Chungang said that he could save me, but he needed the assistance of Master and Master, and later ......."

Su Chen's condition was very unoptimistic, he was in a semi-comatose state, he had a sense of things around him, but he couldn't speak, and his divine thoughts were not so strong, and he couldn't transmit messages to his elders.

Su Xingfeng always remembered that when Su Yan brought him back, his appearance was as if something extremely terrible had happened, his body was covered with strange veins, Jin Dan was almost gone, and his cultivation had fallen from the original Sixfold Heaven to the Triple Heaven.

"Senior brother, you don't have to worry, Su Chen's situation should be affected by evil things, he was invaded by a powerful evil qi, and his foundation was damaged, so there is this abnormal change. Li Chungang said, and there was no abnormality on his face. As far as he is concerned, he needs to set up a formation in Wujian Cliff, and baptize Su Chen's body with the pure yang qi between heaven and earth, and remove the evil qi.

"Okay, please, junior brother. Su Xingfeng was rarely serious, and then he prepared according to what Li Chungang said.

Su Chen could only vaguely perceive the passage of time, it seemed that it had gone from day to night, he did feel that there was pure yang qi entering his body, which made him feel a lot more comfortable, and the abnormalities in his body were alleviated, but the progress was slow, and the so-called "evil qi" seemed to be disappearing, but it was very stubborn and endless.

And at night, the pure yang qi between heaven and earth decayed, and he found that the "evil qi" showed signs of counterattack, and as time passed, the counterattack of the evil qi became more and more powerful, until the time came.

At the moment of the intersection of yin and yang, the "evil qi" in his body suddenly broke out, Su Chen rose from the eye of the array, completely lost his consciousness, in the shocked expressions of Su Xingfeng and Bai Jing, Li Chungang waved his hand, and the big array rose again, and nine big stars appeared, suppressing Su Chen, sealing him in an instant, letting him roar and scream, but he couldn't break free.

The Su couple recognized that it was the "Nine Yao Sealing Demon Array" of the Daowu Palace, and Su Xingfeng and Bai Jing naturally understood it, and in a hurry, the couple entered the formation with a special body method to check on Su Chen's situation.

"How could Chen'er become like this?" Bai Jing was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"Don't worry, now that a solution has been found, Chen'er will get better. "Su Xingfeng is the head of the family in the end, so he is not very flustered at this time.

Bai Jing nodded, and the husband and wife were about to withdraw from the big formation, but they noticed that something was wrong.

The Jiuyao Demon Sealing Array seemed to have become different, and the position of Jiuyao had changed, and it was no longer the Demon Sealing Array they were familiar with, making it difficult for Su Xingfeng and Bai Jing to move an inch.

"Senior brother, what do you mean by this?" Su Xingfeng looked at Li Chungang outside the formation.

Li Chungang looked at him and said calmly: "Senior brother, don't you think you are too redundant?"

Su Xingfeng's face sank, and Bai Jing reprimanded: "Li Chungang, don't forget the rules of the master, it is a felony to harm your fellow disciples!"

Li Chungang smiled indifferently: "It's a pity that you are already a turtle in the urn, and no one will know what I am doing here." ”

Su Xingfeng said: "In this way, Chen'er will be like this, and it is also your masterpiece?"

Li Chungang smiled: "It's just right." ”

"You are so ruthless!" Bai Jing was furious, but she and Su Xingfeng couldn't move when they were trapped in the Jiuyao Sealing Demon Formation that was manipulated by Li Chungang.

"If you face each other, I naturally can't help you husband and wife, but now that you are in my array, you can only be slaughtered by me, senior brother, thank you in advance for your appreciation of your junior brother, but I can't tolerate you after all. Li Chungang chuckled, flicked his hands, the Jiuyao Sealing Demon Array changed again, and a strange power overflowed from the Jiuyao, Su Xingfeng and Bai Jing were forcibly separated, and layers of seals fell on their bodies, and a shocking cultivation was directly sealed and could not be used.

"Don't worry, I'll reunite your family. Li Chungang finally said, and then with a wave of his hand, he took Su Chen in front of him, holding the sealed Su Chen in one hand, and forming a magic seal with the other, turning the sealing array into a slaughter array, Su Xingfeng and Bai Jing tried their best to resist, but unfortunately they were sealed, and they were powerless to resist at all, and they were killed almost instantly.

And Su Chen, who was sealed, regained some sanity a little, and saw the scene of the murder of his master and mother in his eyes and remembered it in his heart......

Later, Su Chen didn't remember much about it, he only remembered that he was imprisoned, Li Chungang and the elders came to interrogate him, and finally sentenced him to the crime of "killing the teacher", and would execute Su Chen in front of Jiuyao Palace, but he was confused and couldn't speak, so he could only let Li Chungang reverse black and white.

At the same time, he also learned that Su Yan was missing, just that night. He knew in his heart that it must be Li Chungang who wanted to attack Su Yan, but he couldn't find it.

disappeared with Su Yan, as well as the purple cloud gold.

On the day of the execution, it seemed that something had happened again, Su Chen fell into a coma for a long time, and when he woke up, he was already in a small uninhabited and dilapidated village on the border of Jizhou, and his Jindan was completely dead, and he fell from the Jindan period to the spirit control period.

After a few days of recuperation in that small village, his pursuers arrived, and he almost died there, finally finding a chance to escape.

Then, after countless pursuits, he hid in the Qitian Mountains on the border of Jizhou, hid in Tibet in the east of the mountains, and used various natural dangers in the mountains to get rid of batch after batch of pursuers.

However, his cultivation had stagnated, and fortunately there was no too strong existence among the people who came to chase and kill, otherwise his little trick would not have worked. After a few months like this, there were fewer people chasing and killing, but Su Chen was almost desperate.

Later, he rescued Xiyue, who was injured and fell in the Qitian Mountain Range, and it was only later that he had something even later.

That's what happened, after Su Chen finished speaking, the other three fell into a long silence, things were clear, but there were also vague places, that is, those parts that were missing from Su Chen's memory.

The mysterious place he had been to must be the source of his abnormality.

Dugu Zhu said: "It seems that there are many things to find out, and the most important thing is the abnormality in your body, which is the root of everything. You stay here first, I'll need some time. ”

The three of them happily agreed, this is a retreat for seniors, and the aura is very strong, which is very suitable for those of them who are still shallow in cultivation, and with Dugu Zhu here, Su Chen will not need Long Qingyan and Xiyue to bother to suppress him even if there is an abnormality again.

"Speaking of which, if nothing happens to your master, he will send you to me in the near future. Dugu Zhu said to Su Chen with a hint of a smile.

"Why?" Su Chen was puzzled.

"If you want to follow the path of sword cultivation, you naturally need real sword cultivation to guide you. Dugu Zhu said proudly, "And I am the only real sword cultivator left in the world!"

The three little ones were shocked, about the sword cultivation, the three of them all knew that Su Chen himself was on this path, and Long Qingyan and Xiyue had both read the records about sword cultivation from the classics of the clan, one dragon and one phoenix originally thought that there was no sword cultivation in the world, and they first knew Su Chen, a small sword cultivator, and now they saw a big one! Su Chen too, he never knew that Dugu Zhu was originally a sword cultivator.

"Then what do you think, why am I called Sword Jue?" Dugu Zhu seemed to see through the minds of the three of them, and squinted at the three little guys.

So, Su Chen and the three of them stayed here in Duguzhu.

Duguzhu called this valley "Bamboo Sword Valley", which is a secret place artificially created by others, and there are still four changes. And those rare elixirs were all found by Dugu Zhu from elsewhere and transplanted to the Bamboo Sword Valley.

The cultivation realm he is in is far beyond the three of Su Chen, according to Xiyue's speculation, he should be at the same level as the Northern Underworld Patriarch Yunyue, which is no longer a "mortal realm", but a "fairy realm".

Early the next morning, in the bamboo forest behind the courtyard, only Su Chen came with Dugu Zhu.

"I already know something about you, but I need to verify it, and you drink this cup of tea. Duguzhu handed Su Chen a cup of tea, Su Chen hesitated to take the teacup, looked down, the tea was turbid, faintly revealing a red light, and a faint fishy smell came.

"Drink. Duguzhu nodded at him.

Su Chen no longer hesitated, and drank it all. At the moment of entry, that familiar chill burst out, and this time he didn't even have the opportunity to recite the Pure Heart Mantra silently, and he was directly demonized.

Dugu Zhu stood still, carefully watching the changes in Su Chen's body. Su Chen's heart was raging, unable to control himself, his eyes were blood-red, he couldn't distinguish between the whites of his eyes and the pupils, and even let out a beast-like roar, rushing towards Dugu Zhu. However, the gap between the two cultivators can be described as worlds apart, Dugu Zhu didn't even move his footsteps, and when Su Chen rushed over, he directly stretched out his finger and pointed at Su Chen's chest.

A huge repulsion came, and Su Chen was catapulted out. The humanoid black light on his body became more and more condensed, and he let out a silent laugh, and the piercing chill continued to seep out from Su Chen's body, and a thin layer of ice had formed on the ground. Dugu Zhu stared at the black light in the human form, and a strange look emerged.

A miss did not make the demonized Su Chen retreat, but became even more violent, constantly impacting Dugu Zhu, without any moves, it was simply a mess.

And Dugu Zhu didn't move, stomped his feet and waved his hand, and lifted Su Chen away.

Time passed slowly, Dugu Zhu already had a plan in his heart, when Su Chen was attacking, he turned sideways to avoid, and at the same time stretched out his finger on the back of Su Chen's neck, Su Chen raised his head and roared, but his body couldn't move, two red points of light condensed on the black light, like a pair of eyes, looking at Dugu Zhu, laughed silently again, and soon after, the black light dissipated, and Su Chen fainted.

"Could it be...... Is it really you?" Dugu Zhu's expression became solemn, looking at Su Chen, who was unconscious.

Su Chen rubbed his head and sat up from the ground, Dugu Zhu stood in front of him, Su Chen asked, "Senior, have you found out what's going on?"

Dugu Zhu nodded and said, "It's basically certain." ”

Su Chen asked, "What the hell is going on?"

Dugu Zhu groaned, "When you leave here, I'll tell you something." Now, let's figure out how you're going to spend this time of practice. ”

Su Chen was surprised and asked, "But I don't seem to be able to practice normally, I heard the sound of your bamboo cane yesterday and entered the realm of enlightenment, but I almost lost control and became demonic." ”

Dugu Zhu slapped his head and said angrily: "I'm here, what are you afraid of." ”

Su Chen had a splitting headache, not only with tears in his eyes: "I really deserve to be a friend of the master, and I like to cut people's heads." ”

Dugu Zhu said to Su Chen: "The heart demon can never be eradicated by external force, although the heart purification mantra of the North Hell, although it is against the sky, it will only make you dependent, so what you have to learn now is how to suppress the heart demon by your own strength, otherwise, when one day you find that the heart purification mantra is also invalid, what should you do?"

Su Chen hesitated: "But my inner demon seems to be different from that of ordinary monks, can I suppress it on my own now?"

Dugu Zhu said with certainty: "Yes, you know, the inner demon is associated with the deity, and its strength is determined by the deity." ”

After speaking, Dugu Zhu clicked a few times on Su Chen's body, and after a flash of clear light, Su Chen's eyebrows had an extra sword mark, and Dugu Zhu explained: "I have imposed a seal on you, it will limit your inner demons, so that it will not explode like before, but when you practice here, the environment here will trigger your inner demons, and you will learn to deal with your inner demons with your own strength in your cultivation." ”

Su Chen nodded, his heart was reassured, he could fully trust Dugu Zhu.

Next, Dugu Zhu said to Su Chen: "Come on, use the exercises you have cultivated from the Sword Ancestor Codex to fight against me, I want to see how well you understand the path of sword cultivation." ”

Su Chen arched his hand and said, "Okay, the junior is offended." ”

After saying that, Su Chen suddenly made a move, his sword fingers were raised, and his fingers were like swords, and the sword qi contained in his fingertips, stabbing at Dugu Zhu. Dugu Zhu still didn't move, he flicked his hand over, Su Chen was swept away in an instant, and he turned over a few times in a row before he stood still, and then his body was disillusioned, like the twinkle of starlight, and it was difficult to determine his position, but in Dugu Zhu's eyes, Su Chen's movements were extremely slow, and he could see clearly.

After getting close again, a meteor flashed in the palm of Su Chen's left hand, clenched into a fist and attacked Dugu Zhu's front, and the sword qi of his right hand burst out, attacking Dugu Zhu's left rib.

Dugu Zhu tapped the ground with a bamboo cane, and a wave of qi swept towards Su Chen, wanting to sweep him away again. But Su Chen avoided this wave of qi with the Star Hidden Trace, and Dugu Zhu was slightly surprised, because he used the moment when the Star "hidden" to avoid it, and the timing was just right.

However, when Dugu Zhu reappeared in his figure, he pointed a bamboo cane on his chest, and Su Chen couldn't avoid it this time and was sent flying. After that, Su Chen attacked several times from different angles, and used what he had learned such as meteor falling, reverse star cross, and gold finger, but they were all dissolved by Dugu Zhu lightly, and he was also shot away by Dugu Zhu again and again.

Half an hour later, Dugu Zhu said, "That's it." ”

Su Chen took the lead and asked, "Senior, how is it?"

Dugu Zhu shook his head and said: "Your foundation is laid according to the Sword Ancestor Codex, but what you have learned is quite miscellaneous, although I have no objection to you having more skills, but on the way to sword cultivation, you are inferior." ”

Su Chen was stunned, bowed down and said, "Please also ask the seniors to teach you!"

Dugu Zhu nodded approvingly, then waved his bamboo cane and asked, "What did you hear?"

Su Chen was stunned and looked at Dugu Zhu blankly, the latter sighed and said, "Do you remember the sentence on the stone tablet outside the valley?"

"Remember, and hold the bamboo cane and listen to the sound of the sword. Su Chen replied.

Dugu Zhu clicked a few times on Su Chen's body with a bamboo cane, Su Chen suddenly couldn't feel any power in his body, and then Dugu Zhu broke off a bamboo branch from the bamboo next to him and threw it to Su Chen, and said to him: "Take bamboo as a sword, understand this sentence, I sealed your cultivation, and when you hear the sound of the sword from this bamboo branch, the seal will be lifted." ”

Su Chen held the bamboo branch in his hand, his brows furrowed, and Dugu Zhu said again: "Learn how the swordsmen of the mortal world practice swords, everything needs to start from the root." ”

Su Chen replied: "Yes, the juniors understand." ”

Dugu Zhu sighed: "After Lao Su accepted you as an apprentice, he has written more than once, praising your talent, I believe that you can go down the path of the Sword Ancestor, but to move forward on this road, you must understand two things: what is sword cultivation and what is sword!"
