Chapter 36: Dao Heart Retrograde Great Array
"Hello Senior Brother Wu. β
"Senior Brother Wu is back, and it's been a hard work. β
"Hello Senior Brother Wu. β
Many of the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect who met along the way greeted this Wu Shigou respectfully, with admiration on their faces. At the same time, looking at Zheng Fan's eyes, they were full of malice.
"Is this Imperial Sword Gate so unwelcoming to newcomers?" Zheng Fan was a little unclear, so when they met for the first time, they didn't look at themselves well.
"Shangxian, where are we going?" Zheng Fan asked with a strong uneasiness in his heart.
Then Wu Shigou smiled: "You don't need to call it an immortal, just like others, just call me Senior Brother Wu, this is to take you to the sect registration office and register your identity, well, this is it." β
"Senior Brother Wu, you have brought back a new disciple, you are really like a torch. An old man who looked like a steward stepped forward and smiled.
"Steward Liu is polite, and he still works hard for you. He turned to Zheng Fan and said, "This is Steward Liu of the registration office, who is responsible for recording the information of the new disciples, so you can go in with him." β
"Yes, Senior Brother Wu. Zheng Fan followed the old man into the room, and looked around, rows of bookshelves were full of disciples' files, and a big black sign was hung above, with three gilded characters on it, 'Desire Sword Gate'.
"Desire Sword Gate? Why is it Desire Sword Gate? Shouldn't it be the Imperial Sword Gate? The difference between this word, but it's a thousand miles wrong, could it be that I misunderstood it before?"
Steward Liu took out a sword, with a total of ten small holes in the black sword, and handed it to Zheng Fan: "Hold this sword tightly in your hand." β
"Yes. Zheng Fan took the sword and shook it hard, and nine of the small holes in it temporarily emitted a dazzling light.
"Yes, at a young age, the ninth layer of the Body Refining Realm is rare, it's just a pity..."Liu Guan praised it in advance, and then shook his head gently.
"Name, age, hometown, and where you live?" tell me a little about your life. Steward Liu took out a pen and paper, Zheng Fan said as he recorded.
Zheng Fan said: "Back to Steward Liu, the boy's surname is Zheng Mingfan, he is eighteen years old this year, he lives in Longyang County, Jinzhou Prefecture, and his father is..."
Zheng Fan told all his experiences, but Zheng Fan didn't mention a word about the inexplicable exercises.
Steward Liu frowned and said, "You are a scholar, and you are powerless. He was captured by robbers before, and now, in just two years, how can he cultivate to the ninth layer of the Body Refining Realm out of thin air?"
Zheng Fan did not hesitate and looked directly at Steward Liu: "When I fled to Qinggu County for refuge before, I was penniless and hungry. It happened that the corpse of a tiger was encountered in the woods. I disemboweled the tiger and ate it, and when I saw a golden ball of flesh in its belly, I ate it without much thought. And then I had the strength. β
Steward Liu suddenly realized, oh and said: "It turned out that he ate the demon pill of the tiger demon, no wonder he reached the ninth level of body refining in a short time, and you kid is also lucky." β
This Steward Liu asked some more things, and Zheng Fan replied casually, without any flaws.
"Okay, it's all recorded, you can go with Senior Brother Wu. The old man sighed inexplicably and waved his hand at Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan came out, but he didn't expect that Wu Shigou had been waiting for him.
"Senior Brother Wu, the registration has been completed. What's next?"
Then Wu Shigou laughed and said, "Come with me to the ring and try it out." β
Zheng Fan had an ominous premonition in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Senior Brother Wu, we have fought each other before, how can I be your opponent? β
Wu Shigou sneered: "This is not up to you, all new disciples need to go through the competition, don't worry, I will be merciful." β
People are under the eaves, there is no way, now that they have reached this sword gate, what else can they do? With this Wu Shigou, he turned around and came to a ring.
I saw that in the east, west, north and south corners of the ring, there was a shining stone more than one person high.
The stones in the east glowed with purple light, and the stones in the west gushed with black gas. The stones on the south side glow red, and the stones on the north side glow with a bluish-white halo.
Between the four stones, they are connected from end to end, like an inexplicable formation. The ring was already crowded, and many disciples came to watch the battle.
"Did you hear about it, Senior Brother Wu comprehended a new disciple again, and refused to say that that kid is the ninth layer of the Body Refining Realm, which is enough for Senior Brother Wu to enjoy. β
"Hey, I think after I lost, but it took me ten years to recast my Dao heart...", a middle-aged man, said with a sigh, with a hint of fear in his words.
"That's because you're too unbearable, sir, I've recast my Dao heart in a year. Another young man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks said disdainfully.
"I want the sword gate to have a peculiar technique, follow the law of the law of the weak and the strong, and the weak can only act as a stepping stone for the strong. β
...
A group of disciples were talking nonsense, Zheng Fan looked at it, at least no less than 10,000 people!
As the saying goes, if there are more than 10,000 people, there is no boundary. There are more than 100,000 people, and it is completely heavenly. When all the disciples saw Wu Shigou coming, they shouted one after another: "Senior Brother Wu is good", and the sound shook the sky. just looked at Zheng Fan gloatingly.
The ring was three zhang high and more than 100 zhang wide. Wu Shigou easily jumped up as soon as he raised his foot. Zheng Fan was difficult to ride a tiger, there was no way, and he also jumped up.
As soon as he stood in this ring, Zheng Fan felt that his heart was beating violently, and his spirit was a little trance, so he hurriedly recited the heart formula silently to summon that power. Fang relieved a lot of pressure.
When the disciples saw that Zheng Fan could stand firmly in the ring, they let out a roar, and they all couldn't believe it: "This kid has such a tenacious Dao heart? When I first went up, I just lay on the ground and couldn't get up." β
"I only lasted about two breaths, this son is extraordinary. β
"So what?" one snorted disdainfully: "On this Dao Heart Retrograde Great Array, the more tenacious a person is with a Dao Heart, the more difficult it is to reforge after being shattered. Have you forgotten the disciple who appeared five years ago with the same tenacity as this son?"
"I remembered that person five years ago, since he was broken in his Dao heart, he was so decadent that he died in less than three months. A disciple chimed in.
"I don't know how many days this son can live, I bet ten sword talismans, and this son will not live for three months. β
"I'm betting on twenty sword talismans, and this son won't live for ten days. β
"I have fifteen sword talismans, this son..."
Zheng Fan is not stupid and deaf, although the audience is noisy, he has also heard a rough idea, and everyone is betting on him, betting that he can live for a few days. I couldn't help but be angry in my heart, and looked at Wu Shigou coldly: "Senior Brother Wu, I don't know what the brothers in the audience are talking about, what is the heart?"
Wu Shigou laughed and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, and listen to Senior Brother slowly!"
"Senior Brother Zheng, don't be afraid. The competition on this 'broken heart platform' can be said to be a welcome ceremony for newcomers.
For more than a thousand years, this has been the case, and when I Wu Shigou Fang was introduced, I also tried it with my senior brother on this stage. Speaking of this, Wu Shigou couldn't help but sigh for a while.
"I want the sword gate, and the inheritance that has not changed for thousands of years is four words, the weak eat the strong. That is, relying on this ruthlessness, it can survive thousands of years without decay!"
"Desire, desire is the greatest motivation for people to keep moving forward, and at the same time, it can also become an obstacle on the path of cultivation. After breaking and standing, Fang Cheng avenue. Every new disciple needs to come first to compete with the senior brother on the Heartbreaker Stage, break the original Dao Heart, and then recast it. Wu Shigou said righteously.
"Wu Shigou, you are really shameless enough. If you want to use this Dao Heart Retrograde Great Array to shatter the newcomer's Dao Heart and increase your own strength, just say it directly, is it interesting to say these clichΓ©s every time?"
Wu Shigou was furious when he heard this: "Li Batian, don't think that if you are the son of an elder, I won't dare to touch you, this year's inner door competition, let you know how powerful your grandfather is!"
"Just you?" the man sneered slightly.
Wu Shigou forcibly suppressed his anger and said to Zheng Fan: "Senior Brother Zheng, come on." You strike first. β
Zheng Fan was already ready to shoot, so he arched his hand and said, "It's rude." "With a force under his feet, he rushed forward. Raise your legs and sweep, if it is usual, this sweep will be carried out, and the boulder will also be shattered.
Wu Shigou lifted his weight lightly, and his left hand lightly put on Zheng Fan's leg, Zheng Fan only felt a strong force, and forcibly changed his total direction, this leg, which was not swept in, was also expected by Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan said in his heart: "The left and right are no match for him, and if he continues to fight, I don't know what kind of means he will use." Let's admit defeat, he is a senior brother, I am a junior brother, I have only refined the body realm, he has already mastered the peak of the qi realm, and he is about to transform into a person, and it is not a shame to admit defeat to him. β
Immediately arched his hand and said: "Senior brother's miraculous skills are world-famous, and junior brother admits defeat." β
"Admit defeat?" Wu Shigou sneered, and the disciples in the audience also let out a shocking laugh.
"Senior Brother Zheng, don't you know, stepping on this broken heart platform, there must be one person's Dao heart being completely shattered. The formation enchantment will disperse, otherwise, you will have to wait a month before you can step out of this ring. β
Zheng Fan was shocked, although he didn't know what Dao Heart was, but from the literal meaning, Dao Heart is a heart that yearns for the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. What happens if you break your Dao heart?
Without waiting for Zheng Fan to think about it, Wu Shigou said again: "Since Senior Brother Zheng is unwilling to make a move, then Senior Brother I can't help it, Senior Brother, look at your fists and feet!"
Wu Shigou came to Zheng Fan's side in a flash, and punched him on his left shoulder, the left shoulder bone was instantly shattered, and the whole person was knocked out ten zhang away.
Zheng Fanwa spit out a mouthful of blood, only to feel that something was about to crack in his heart, and the pain was extremely severe. Although he couldn't be defeated, Zheng Fan didn't want to fall down like this, gritted his teeth, and struggled to stand up.
"On the Broken Heart Platform, the cultivation under the Qi Control Realm will be suppressed, and it is very difficult to even move and breathe, I can't imagine that this young man can stand up after receiving a heavy blow, the strength of the Dao Heart is admirable. An old man in the audience sighed with a stroking beard.
