Chapter 34: Reflection
"Brother Lu, are you okay?"
Shi Xiaofei dragged his heavy body and slowly walked in front of Lu Shaoyang, trying to help the other party up with great effort, but instead of helping him up, he sat on the ground instead.
"Don't worry, you can't die, what about you, Xiaofei?"
Lu Shaoyang's face was pale and he forced out a smile and said.
"I was the same, although I lost sensation in half of my shoulder, but fortunately it didn't hurt my internal organs. β
Shi Xiaofei breathed heavily.
β...... Just now, it was the senior's hand, right?"
Lu Shaoyang was silent for a moment, and his eyes unconsciously fell on Dai Xingheng, who was standing not far away.
"Perhaps. Shi Xiaofei said hesitantly. "Because I can't think of anyone other than my seniors...... But I don't understand why he refuses to show up to meet us if it is the hand of his senior?"
"Maybe the seniors have other ideas, after all, how can we speculate on the actions of masters. β
Lu Shaoyang smiled bitterly when he heard this.
"It's ......," Shi Xiaofei nodded thoughtfully. "From knowing my predecessors to the present, my predecessors have really always felt unpredictable. β
"yes......"
Lu Shaoyang empathized.
Although he and Xia Fan didn't get along for a long time, he was deeply impressed by the other party's deviant and indulgent style.
"Brother Lu, what are we going to do next?"
Shi Xiaofei looked at Dai Xingheng's stiff corpse with a distracted gaze.
"For now, we'd better find a hidden place to recuperate. Lu Shaoyang groaned. "What I'm most worried about now is your senior brother and his accomplices. β
"Accomplices?!"
Shi Xiaofei took a cold breath.
"You won't come to look for you this time and you're the only one who comes out to look for you, right?"
Lu Shaoyang sighed lightly.
"If you Star Pickers find out about your senior brother's death, and there are people who are also Demon Sect insiders, then you and I will be speechless. β
β...... Now it seems that the predecessors were really prescient. Shi Xiaofei said abruptly. "Now I don't even know who to trust. β
"Actually, I'm also very worried, since even your Star Picking Tower has happened like this, let alone our Hundred Flowers Valley?"
Lu Shaoyang said helplessly.
"This move of the Demon Sect can be said to be aimed at the death holes of the major sects, even if we tell the world about the conspiracy of the Demon Sect, I am afraid it will cause even greater chaos in the rivers and lakes. β
"Can we just watch the Demon Sect's conspiracy succeed?"
Shi Xiaofei clenched his fists and said unwillingly.
"So far, this matter is not something you and I can solve at all, the only thing we can do is to inform the elders we trust, and then leave it to them to make a choice. β
Lu Shaoyang frowned and said.
"I see. β
Shi Xiaofei said with a heavy face.
Not much.
The two, who had improved their health, immediately disposed of Dai Xingheng's body and quickly left the scene.
About an hour later.
A young man staggered in front of a grass ditch with a thick pile of snow.
"It's too rough to clean up. β
The young man raised his foot seemingly casually and stomped it, and the snow in the grass ditch in front of him instantly fluttered and turned into countless snowflakes and fell down.
He squatted down and looked at Dai Xingheng's body buried in the grass ditch with interest.
"Swordsmanship, it seems that he is really not far from the realm of heaven and man. β
The young man shook his head and sighed, and then took out a paper bag from his arms and threw it on Dai Xingheng's body.
The moment the paper bag landed on Dai Xingheng's body, a green flame quickly ignited, and a large amount of white smoke rose at the same time.
Long.
The flames devoured Dai Xingheng's corpse, leaving only black ashes.
"This is called destroying corpses and destroying traces. β
With a wave of his hand, the young man rolled up a thousand piles of snow, and the ashes in the grass ditch were scattered with the snowflakes flying in the sky.
......
"Senior, have you ever left the mansion during the day?"
Evening.
Xie Linyuan personally led someone to bring dinner to Xia Fan, and when he left, he couldn't help but cautiously ask Xia Fan, who was lying on the rocking chair leisurely flipping through the books.
"Well, go out and kill someone. β
Xia Fan said absent-mindedly.
"Murder?" Xie Linyuan's eyelids jumped. "Who can bother the seniors to take action in person?"
"It must be someone from the Demon Sect. β
Xia Fan suddenly stopped flipping through the book, and looked intently at the contents on the page.
"I see, the junior will not disturb the senior's meal. β
Xie Linyuan immediately exited the room with a sense of humor.
"The law of the ancient monks?"
When Xia Fan carefully read the contents of the book, he couldn't help but touch his chin and said thoughtfully.
The book is called "Persona of the Ancients", which records all kinds of anecdotes and legends of ancient times, including descriptions of celestial beings and ancient monks.
Although some of the descriptions are too abstract and general, if you think about it carefully, you can understand one or two.
Just now, Xia Fan browsed a little story about an ancient monk, but what really aroused Xia Fan's interest was that this ancient monk seemed to be a sword immortal.
However, the protagonist of the story is not this ancient monk, but a bitter and vengeful fellow.
It's a story of less than 100 words.
In order to avenge his family, this guy planned to worship under the door of an ancient monk, but the ancient monk did not agree, and the other party begged the other party for thirty years, and he didn't know whether this ancient monk was finally moved by his sincerity or impatient, so he agreed anyway.
The process of the ancient monk teaching him to practice was naturally a passing one, and this guy finally succeeded in cultivating after decades of hard work and was able to take revenge.
There is only one sentence in the article to describe it.
The sword was completed, and then he went out of the mountain and killed the enemy for thousands of miles.
This is basically the same as the description of the Sword Immortal.
It can be seen that there were indeed monks similar to sword immortals in ancient times.
The reason why Xia Fan will be interested is naturally related to "Amazing Sword Duel", because "Astounding Sword Duel" also has the move of controlling the flying sword, and earlier he used the method of controlling the sword to shoot the person who intended to kill Shi Xiaofei's life.
But he can't do it thousands of miles away and still take the enemy's head.
The sword control moves of "Amazing Sword Battle" are not difficult to understand.
Under normal circumstances, even if he didn't learn "Amazing Sword Duel", Xia Fan could use his true qi to manipulate all kinds of weapons, but this method of manipulation was too rigid and lacked flexibility and power.
However, "Amazing Sword Battle" provides another idea, in short, it is to have a certain resonance with one's own spirit by infusing the weapon with true qi, so as to make this kind of weapon a thing outside the body like an arm.
It's like a radio remote control.
The stronger the spirit, the farther the remote control.
With Xia Fan's current mental power, thirty or fifty miles of remote control is the limit, and if it is longer, the weaker the induction will be, and he will eventually lose control and fall down.
The key to this sword control lies in the infusion of true qi and the key to mental methods.
Without the correct infusion method, the weapon in the hand either can't withstand the squeezing and shattering of the true qi, or it can't resonate with its own spirit at the same frequency.
After Xia Fan watched the sword control moves of "Amazing Sword Duel", he was stunned to find that the way of infusing true qi was like carving a circuit board for the weapon itself.
And the key to the heart is equivalent to the adapted remote control.
Harness the sword, harness the sword.
Why don't you control the sword if you don't control the others?
It is nothing more than a sword that is the most suitable carrier.
What about the Ancient Sword Immortals? How could they take the enemy's head for thousands of miles?
He thought of a possibility.
The Law of the Ancient Monks who have failed.
After the Emperor of the Jedi Heavenly Pass, the heavens and the earth changed greatly, and the cultivation methods of the ancient monks were completely invalid, so the ancient relics had to find another way to create a path of martial arts.
"Amazing Sword Battle" and "Heaven Thief" are suspected to be from ancient times, to be exact, it should be from the end of antiquity to the early Middle Ages.
Therefore, Xia Fan doubted.
These two martial arts are most likely modified from ancient monks.
Xia Fan also had a cursory look at "Heaven Thief", and "Heaven Thief" has a method similar to "Amazing Sword Decision", but Xia Fan didn't take it seriously at that time, just a matter of controlling things, he can manipulate it with his true qi casually, what's so strange.
"One is a physical exercise, and another is a spiritual cultivation?"
Extrapolated from this.
It is not difficult for Xia Fan to come to this conclusion.
Martial arts is the practice of the body, and the monk is the cultivation of the gods.
The former has power, and the latter has supernatural powers.
As for which martial artist and monk of the same realm are stronger or weaker, this question is the same as Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong.
After all, the cultivation systems of both were in different eras.
But.
What about celestials?
If there are celestial beings who have lived from ancient times to the present, is the other party a supernatural cultivator? And is the reason why the other party cannot make a move related to the failure of his own supernatural powers?
Here's the problem.
Anyone who can cultivate to the realm of heaven and man is not a simple character.
The failure of the supernatural power does not mean that the other party cannot switch to martial arts.
Or rather.
It's not that the other party doesn't want to switch to martial arts, but is there any limitation to martial arts?
Maybe.
Xia Fan had already thought of the answer.
Why is it that since the beginning of martial arts, no martial artist has cultivated to the realm of heaven and man?
I'm afraid this is the biggest problem with martial arts.
If you only cultivate your nature and do not cultivate your life, it will be difficult for the Yin Spirit of Ten Thousand Tribulations to enter the Holy Spirit.
Only cultivates life but not sex, and lives the same as a fool in heaven and earth.
I don't know why.
Xia Fan suddenly remembered the words that he used to use in the online text of cultivating immortals in his previous life.
But does it have anything to do with him?
Because he has never had any of these gods chatter since he practiced, everything is a matter of course.
In fact, he still doesn't know much about martial arts, especially those so-called subtle martial arts moves.
He's just pure strong.
Great body, great strength, great speed.
Rely entirely on this aspect to crush the enemy.
For example, he really fought with his master.
At the beginning, he played bells and whistles, and the master really caught a fat beating.
And then he stopped playing.
Shishi is really dead.
He first learned "Amazing Sword Battle" with the same mentality of playing.
But after studying, he found that it seemed to be a little different.
He found.
This thing is really powerful when cultivated to the extreme, and a flying sword is like a homing missile.
If there is a thousand swords.
Gee.
The picture was too beautiful to imagine.
"Oops! The food is going to be cold!"
When Xia Fan came back to his senses, he immediately bounced up from the rocking chair and sat at the dinner table to devour.
Three or two strokes.
He ate all the food that had been left warm.
"I really want to play on my mobile phone, I really want to play games, I really want to watch dramas......"
After lying down on the rocking chair again and stretching his body lazily, Xia Fan sighed for no reason.
It was the eleventh year he had spent in this world.
It was also him who returned to the outside world after ten years.
It's a pity that the outside world is not as beautiful as he imagined.
The troubles that followed made him deeply involved for a while.
You say it doesn't matter, it's hard to settle down.
You say take care of it, his eyes are black again.
Unconsciously, he seems to have let the world slowly begin to assimilate, and he doesn't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
He doesn't have time to think about these things on weekdays, and most of the time, he is either playing hide and seek with others, or fighting with others, or fighting with others.
When he realized the strangeness in hindsight, he immediately pushed Shi Xiaofei out without hesitation.
And thenβ
Except for Xie Linyuan's matter.
He really didn't have any trouble, but Shi Xiaofei's side began to have ups and downs.
Someone wanted to kill Shi Xiaofei.
How could Xia Fan tolerate it, it was not easy for him to get his fate back on track, and now someone dares to let his fate go off the rails?
He didn't plan to meet Shi Xiaofei.
What I'm afraid of is that fate will make some more trouble.
When I returned to Xie Mansion.
He had thought about it.
If he hadn't made a timely move, would Shi Xiaofei have died?
If he really was a child of destiny, then there was absolutely no way he would die.
But Xia Fan didn't dare to bet.
So he still made a decisive move, just treat him as Shi Xiaofei's grandfather.
Anyway, it's better to be a master than to be a protagonist with many disasters.
Usually when I watch the drama and read the text, I feel that the protagonist's experience is very cool, but when it really happens to me, it will make people feel insensitive to gratitude.
You must know that Xia Fan is a great grandmaster, but even he feels anxious, let alone an ordinary person.
He's gearing up right now.
Whoever engaged in himself at the beginning, he will have to pay back ten times the other party in the future.
Both Koningduo and the Demon Sect are too mysterious.
After a big circle, he found that he still found nothing.
Case.
Why didn't he let the fateful protagonist find out all this, and he just had to sit back and enjoy it.
He needs to be patient.
Sooner or later, the Demon Sect will take the initiative to jump out on its own.
On the contrary, the more involved he is, the easier it is for the Demon Sect to cast a mouse.
After thinking about all this, Xia Fan settled in Xie Mansion with peace of mind, not to mention that he already had his own intelligence person, and someone told him about what happened in the rivers and lakes, so he would not be deaf and blind.
With the help of this time.
He can just make up for the knowledge of history, geography, humanities and other aspects of this world, so as to get a glimpse of the leopard and learn more about this world.
After reading the classics of antiquity.
He had been thinking about a question.
After the Human Emperor Jedi Heavenly Pass, where did those disappeared celestials go?
And what the Demon Sect does seems to be related to heaven and man, so what does it have to do with it? What is the purpose of the Demon Sect?
