20. Be at peace with the encounter, defeat the enemy invisibly (6262 words - two in one thanks to the 50,000 reward of the Zed_zz)
The seventeenth prince of the Qi State settled in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Perhaps because he felt that this young man was mysterious and powerful, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect did not treat him badly, and gave him a house with an elegant courtyard.
Of course, this house is in the corner, there are no other disciples around, and it is closely guarded inside and outside.
The house built here was originally used to see the sea and mountains, and to understand the mystery of nature.
The backyard of the small building faces the sea of clouds.
Thousands of mountains and ravines, colorful neon light.
The aura here is rich, just take two breaths, and feel refreshed and energetic.
If mortals are allowed to live for a long time, they will really be like in the original family, they can live to be 300 years old without disease or disease.
And in this kind of world where cultivation has become systematic, the longer the age means the higher the probability of breakthrough, and if you keep breaking through, you can always prolong your life.
Xia Ji lives here, and naturally there are disciples who will deliver food every day.
Outside the door, the voices of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect were heard from time to time.
"How could this mortal prince be so good?"
"Yes, I've inquired, and he seems to be only fifteen years old, still a fictitious age. ”
"I heard that there is a mysterious guardian in the palace of Qi State, named Jin Batian, who is now the Great Commander, and this prince is his disciple. ”
"Nonsense, even if this is impossible! Even if the masters line up to initiate, they can't instill such a character, right?"
"What the hell happened that day? I happened to be outside, and I didn't see anything around the village where people have been missing lately. Senior brother and sister, let's talk about it. ”
"You didn't see it, otherwise it would have been a shock to the Dao heart. The speaker said in a sighing tone, "This fifteen-year-old prince came from Zhike Cliff first, and asked Fairy Xiao to fight him, but he was eaten up by his own strength.
Elder Bai Bei took him to the sky, then withdrew the flying sword, and besieged him with many senior brothers, but as a result, this prince just waved his hand, and the heavy snow fell down, so that the elders and brothers had no time to separate, and this prince directly resisted the wind and volleyed, stepped up, and entered my Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Later, it was even more exaggerated, Elder Bai Bei came from behind with many senior brothers, and the other elders and elites came from the past, surrounded by layers of people, but they couldn't get close to the prince's body.
That scene can be described as one person suppressing a sect.
And then, you know, that can't be said again. ”
"Understood..."
After that, the sect master personally took action, but he was slapped five times, and he also gave some advice, saying that he wanted to persuade the sect master to be good.
If this is persuaded by others to be good, I am afraid that no matter who is in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, they will only sneer at it, and then kill such nonsense and noisy people with one sword.
What good and evil?
The sect is above the sky, so what's wrong with wantonly manipulating the world?
Can this be called good and evil?
If you put it directly, this is a different level of life.
They are immortals, but they are human beings.
Mortals are just losers who have been eliminated and have not kept up with the pace of the times.
Can that call people?
The disciples continued to discuss.
"Then what is the realm of this prince?"
"I don't know..."
"How could you not know?"
"Because, from the beginning to the end, he has never used any power other than the Dharma Phase. ”
“...”
“...”
“...”
"It can't be. ”
"I also think it's impossible, but this impossible thing happened, no matter what realm, he was crushed by his Fa Xiang. ”
"It must be a dream..."
"What the hell is he here for?"
"On behalf of the royal family of Qi State. ”
Submit to???
Hehe...
All the disciples are stupid, is this what it looks like to surrender?
...
...
The senior sister hasn't woken up yet.
Xia Ji stayed here for a long time.
His daily routine has always been simple.
No matter where it is, for him, it's just a different place to read.
Gradually, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect made a strange discovery: although this prince seemed terrifying and mysterious, he was simply a harmless existence in his daily interactions.
Slowly, the prince walked out of the original small building, sometimes holding a book on the quiet path of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, reading and walking, sometimes he would sit in the stone pavilion, looking at the wind and clouds in the distance, the mountains and seas were fascinated for a while, and he went deep.
The disciples in the sect didn't care much about him, because the sect master only made him vigilant and martial law, and did not say that he would be imprisoned.
And no matter who it is, you can feel a strange tranquility from this prince.
He raised his hands and feet as if he were an ordinary person, but his posture and appearance concealed an indescribable romance.
When this prince saw the disciples coming from the road, he would talk, sometimes when he saw these disciples in trouble, he would go to help, and sometimes, when he saw some disciples who had gone wrong in their cultivation, he would even come forward to give advice.
It is taboo to point out the disciples of other families.
The teachers of the sect want to manage.
But when I leaned over and listened carefully, I was stunned, and my heart was like a thousand horses galloping.
Damn, it makes so much sense.
What do you mean by being in a simple way?
They all understood what the boy explained, but they had never understood it so clearly.
So, the teachers of the sect who were thinking of managing it also followed secretly to listen, and after listening, they appeared as if they were aware of it, and then went to instruct the disciples.
The disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect also gradually became familiar with such a strange existence.
is only fifteen years old, but he is like a teacher, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
He is clearly an enemy, but he is at peace with them.
And in these interactions, there are still many beautiful female monks of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect who have taken a fancy to him, and the female monks who are related to him even ran to quietly ask the elders of the sect, "Can you let him join the Ten Thousand Swords Sect"...
In this way, you can chase him openly.
As the saying goes, men chase women's compartment mountains, and women chase men's compartment yarns, if you form a Taoist couple with such a prince, how good it would be.
Mysterious, powerful, gentle, dustless, seemingly never angry...
Although it is the identity of a mortal, it is like a real heavenly immortal, not just an immortal who has broken the mortal life.
But soon, someone remembered that the reason why the prince stayed here was to wait.
He's waiting for a decisive battle.
Waiting for the awakening of the deepest and most terrifying Demon Venerable who has left shadows and blood stains on history.
As a result, many disciples looked at this prince with a look of regret.
Because no matter how strong he is, he can't be the opponent of the Demon Venerable.
The horror of the Demon Venerable is imprinted on everyone's hearts like a nightmare.
This can be seen from the daily mantra of the sect master.
Everyone knows that "the senior sister of the sect master is invincible in the world".
so
How could this fifteen-year-old boy be able to defeat the invincible Demon Venerable who had been in retreat for 200 years?
He couldn't win.
He will be defeated.
Defeat is death.
When it's dead, there's nothing.
...
...
The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had also quietly observed this prince.
His mood can only be described as eccentric.
How similar this prince's daily life is to his past teachers.
At that time, on the island in the middle of Jinghu Lake, he was still a child, and the teacher also liked to sit quietly in the study and read books, and it was also in the study that he compiled the "Ten Thousand Laws Volume", which has now been listed as a forbidden law in the world by major sects.
And this prince also reads books every day, does not move, is not shocked, and is at peace with what happens.
has no consciousness that he is in a force that wants to kill him,
didn't worry about his senior sister waking up,
Even though this prince should have learned about the terrifying Demon Venerable from the mouths of many disciples, he still did not waver or panic.
It was naturally impossible for the sect master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to think that this prince was a teacher, he just couldn't help but sigh a little with emotion, and hesitated a little, whether to say a favor to the senior sister when the time came.
Senior Sister knows that this prince is like a teacher, maybe she will be merciful and not kill him, right?
As for being slapped five times by this prince, he certainly has shame in his heart.
If it were someone else, he would definitely do his best to strangle him.
But this prince made his anger slowly subside...
The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect even felt that these five slaps were slapped by the teacher, and slapping these five slaps was like a punishment for his past.
It's like a strict teacher who asks a naughty child to stretch out his hand and slap him five times in the palm of his hand, which is considered a punishment.
But the punishment also gave him a chance to choose again.
His heart used to be burdened with infinite guilt.
Now, inexplicably peaceful.
This is simply too light and too light a punishment.
The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect couldn't help but think that if the teacher was really alive, seeing a criminal like himself, I was afraid that it would be the same.
Thinking of this, his murderous intent towards the royal family of Qi State had disappeared without a trace.
After that, this prince fought against the senior sister, even if he was defeated and died, he would not move the Qi country again, but would give protection.
Just think that the teacher has a spirit in heaven and sent such a teenager to wake himself up and give himself a chance to choose again.
...
...
The winter snow has passed, and the early spring is coming, and the mountains and forests under the heavenly palace above the clouds have been dyed green.
Different from the dense fog in the depths of winter, the mountain fog in early spring is as thin as white veil, turning into thousands of layers, and it is entangled between the peaks and peaks of the mountain road.
At noon, the light of the sky falls, dispelling the fog,
The sun shines on the land, and the scenery of the mountains is unobstructed.
Xia Ji sat in a gazebo, grinding ink and spreading paper, and wrote carefully on rice paper:
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect is hospitable, and the sect master is also a sincere person, and he is hospitable,
The sons are difficult but enthusiastic, and they can't return for a while, so don't worry about the concubine.
After he finished writing, he folded it casually, put it in the envelope, and then handed it to the disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect on the side and said, "I'm tired." ”
"You're welcome. The disciple said with a smile, "I went out to explore the surrounding areas of Fenghe Village to find information, and I happened to pass through the capital of Qi State, and it was only a matter of raising my hand to deliver the letter." ”
This disciple got Xia Ji's guidance, so as to break through the bottleneck, he was very grateful in his heart, and he was worried that he couldn't return this favor, not to mention sending a letter by the way, even if he let him go on a special trip, he was also happy.
At the same time, this disciple was also very curious, he also wanted to see what kind of place the Great Qi Palace was, and how such a place in the mortal world could raise such a character.
In his opinion, this is the fish pond jumping out of the golden scales, and the quagmire flying out of the Kunpeng.
Although he looked down on mortals, in his opinion, this person in front of him was absolutely extraordinary.
The disciple took the letter and left.
Xia Ji opened the books on the table again, and quietly flipped through them in the spring light at this time.
As he was watching, there was a slight crying sound in the distance, which others would not have noticed.
Xia Ji put down the book, looked sideways in the direction of crying, and got up.
Linghu Creek, small arch bridge.
The source of the stream is a spiritual spring, the spring water is endless, such as the nature of the earth emerging from this peak, the water flows to the lower place, is to form this gurgling cloud stream.
The arch bridge was also built in response to the occasion.
At this moment, there was a little girl in a sackcloth shirt squatting on the side of the bridge, sobbing softly in the sun.
Wearing this kind of clothing is usually just a slave of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
It's just that not all slaves can come over, unlike the family back then, the slaves here have this "spiritual root" and "immortal fate" to a certain extent, in other words, if these people perform well or show some kind of talent, they will be admitted to the sect and become disciples of the sect.
And if you reach the age and haven't grown up, you'll be sent out of here.
It's just that when I was a slave, most of my work was to sort elixirs, water spiritual grass, and be responsible for catering and living...
And this kind of "slave status" still needs the mortal magnates to dig out their minds before they can come over.
The little girl's left hand stretched out from the hole in the bridge, dangling in the air, and a pair of tearful eyes watched the spiritual stream flowing.
A wisp of bangs dangling in front of her danced back and forth in the wind and sun.
Xia Ji squatted beside her and smiled, "Why be sad in such a good weather?"
The little girl's body trembled, and she turned her head nervously with some fear, only to see a warm young man in white looking at her.
She obviously didn't know Xia Ji, and she regarded him as a disciple of the sect, so she hurriedly turned her head like an electric shock, and whispered, "Yes... I'm sorry... I'm going to get busy. ”
At this time, a middle-aged female monk who was looking around in the distance seemed to notice this, and as soon as she saw the little girl in sackcloth, she said angrily: "You stupid girl, you can't do anything, you have sorted the wrong herbs, and now you are still running?"
Where can you run?
Tomorrow you will go down the mountain, you are not fit here. ”
The little girl's eyes were teary, but she seemed to be clumsy in words, and she didn't know how to say it, but her eyes were red again.
Xia Ji touched her head, got up and looked at the female monk and said, "Everyone has a time when things don't go their way, and when they get distracted, they are easy to make mistakes.
But if it's not a big mistake, can you give her another chance?"
The middle-aged female monk found that there was someone on the other side of the bridge, and when she looked at Xia Ji, she was shocked, this mysterious young man who suppressed the entire sect by himself, although he was a guest now, was waiting for the Demon Venerable.
Where did she dare to offend, so she said: "Since you have spoken, then forget it this time." ”
The nun looked at the little girl again and said, "Come back soon," and then turned to leave.
Xia Ji squatted beside her, looking at the flowing Lingxi with her, and for a while, he thought of the scene when he was trapped in the lonely city, the starting point of many people, isn't it a cage.
And how many people will be able to get out of the cage?
Kneeling to live, rebellious to die.
Obedience and disobedience are involuntary, and fate is never involuntary.
He suddenly asked, "Do you like to eat sugar gourds?"
He remembered that he also stored sugar gourds more than a thousand years ago in his storage space, because Miaomiao liked to eat this, so he bought a lot of them in one go, and there was no expiration in the storage space, and the quality was very strong.
The little girl stared at him blankly.
So, Xia Ji took out the sugar gourd like a trick, handed it to her, and took a string himself.
He took the lead in gnawing it, and then smiled: "Everyone has times when things don't go their way, but no matter what, don't be confused." Hopeless, don't hold back. Whatever the outcome, do your best. Then you won't regret it. ”
The girl took a bite of the sugar gourd, which was sweet and sour.
She suddenly burst into tears: "But... I can't even cultivate True Qi. I... There is no talent at all. No matter how hard you try, it's useless..."
There is abundant spiritual energy here, and even the true qi can't be cultivated, which is indeed a problem.
Xia Ji smiled, "Can you give me your hand?"
The girl nodded and handed out her left hand.
Xia Ji took her hand, a wisp of breath entered her body, lingering for a moment, he suddenly noticed that this girl's physique was very strange, if the qualifications were not as good as ordinary people, but it was still weird, it might be a special physique.
He probed again.
It is discovered that this kind of physique needs to be accumulated and broken through the blockage with a lot of true qi before it can continue with the subsequent cultivation.
And when it has not been broken, it is like a wasted person, but once it is broken, it should be far better than ordinary people.
After he probed, he estimated it in his heart, and then carefully passed a touch of true qi into her dantian, but he did not help her break through.
But as long as this girl doesn't give up in the future, then this trace of true qi is enough to help her save the "accumulation" of effort, and directly break through the obstacles.
"Do you see something?"
"I've seen it, your qualifications are very good, as long as you work hard, you can definitely be very good. ”
"Really?" the little girl's eyes sparkled.
Xia Ji smiled: "Really." ”
"You're not lying?"
"I don't lie to you. ”
The little girl smiled, this should be a big man in front of her, he said so, then he is naturally very qualified, it seems that he is not working hard enough.
Xia Ji suddenly felt something and patted her on the shoulder, "I still have some things, goodbye." ”
The little girl got up: "Goodbye." ”
She watched the gentle young man in white go away, and her heart suddenly warmed.
Suddenly there was a glimmer of hope in her heart...
She ran to the other side of the bridge to pick up the elixir.
But halfway through the run, she couldn't help but turn her head to see the young man, for she had forgotten to ask for his name, and had forgotten to tell him her name.
However, she vaguely saw that in the pavilion in the distance, in addition to the young man, there was actually the sect master of her own sect, and another man in white who was cold and arrogant, and exuded a cold aura around him.
She was a little scared, a little worried...
Because, even if she was just a little girl, she already felt the undisguised killing intent.
The killing intent enveloped the gazebo, making the wind stop when it arrived, and making the clouds live there.
The grass is as long as a knife mountain, and there is no wind to pierce the high dome.
The dust turned into a sea of fire, boiling without stopping.
The environment around the cold and arrogant man in white had already been affected by him, and he began to show a suppressed but impatient fighting spirit.
Xia Ji looked at this man, and he immediately recognized it, this was also his disciple thousands of years ago.
He was ranked tenth among the seventy-two disciples and was named Du Bai.
The first book he practiced was the Yang Shen Dao Method, which could break the body of the Yuan Shen and kill people.
But he has been crushed by Nian Ying from beginning to end, and now he doesn't want to be in this Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Du Bai is different from the Demon Venerable, although he is also practicing in the forbidden land, but in fact, he has only slept for thirty years, and even the karma of thirty years has exceeded that of ordinary people by many times.
You must know that the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect has only been asleep for three years.
"Rubbish!"
Du Bai coldly scolded the Ten Thousand Swords Sect Master.
This sect master didn't speak, he knew that his senior brother had such a temper.
Xia Ji stepped forward and put away the half-read book on the stone table.
Du Bai suddenly sneered: "Just you, worthy of him?"
After the laughter, a violent aura suddenly surfaced,
This was followed by a huge, indescribable cloud of black smoke that hung in the air.
This is the power of negative karma that is close to the substance,
Compared to this, the small group of bad karma behind the show of Fairy Xiao is simply the difference between mud and mountains.
Xia Ji closed the book and suddenly slapped the table.
Boom.
Two stones bounced up and fell into his hands.
And he didn't make any moves, and the stone in his hand had disappeared and appeared several miles away.
It was the forbidden land of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
In the forbidden place, there was also a man in white sitting cross-legged with a knife on his lap, and his face was exactly the same as Du Bai here.
The stone appeared abruptly in the center of his eyebrows and smashed it with just the right amount of force.
And here, Du Bai, who had just accumulated the power of bad karma, suddenly screamed in pain, and then looked at Xia Ji in shock.
Xia Ji said: "I still have some ability to throw stones, Yuan Shen quickly return to the body, next time it will not be a matter of throwing it lightly." ”
Du Bai said: "How did you find out? And how could it be so fast?"
Xia Ji smiled, kung fu was taught by him, how could he not find out?
As for the speed, this is the stone throwing he carried out with the technique of "knife", and maybe the trajectory can be seen for the stronger, but this disciple is at the level of the Dharma Phase, and he can't see through it.
At the same time, he also completed a small experiment.
That is, karma can be said to be a completely new force.
This kind of power does not enhance the various attributes of the person itself, but gives another dimension of attack and defense, which may not be able to move mountains and seas, but it is closer to a mysterious means of killing.
Raising the Dharma Body, lowering the Dharma Body, raising the life grid, and lowering the life grid, this kind of strange attack has little to do with one's own strength.
In other words, as long as a powerhouse at the peak of the Thirteen Realms does not use his karma, then there is not much difference between him and the Twelve Realms under full strength.
Xia Ji said: "If you want to go out, it's best to find a top-level magic weapon to protect your body, or let someone who is good at defense be your assistant, otherwise don't easily come out of your body."
Maybe it's nothing against ordinary people, but against a master, you may be killed in seconds.
As for disguise, no matter how well you disguise the original god, you are still the original god after all, and you can hide it from some people, but you are destined to not hide it from the strong, and this is a weakness.
Let's go back. ”
Du Bai was dumbfounded...
He wanted to make a move, but suddenly, there was a popping sound from a fallen leaf hundreds of miles behind him.
It was a flying stone strike, which directly shattered the fallen leaves.
And again, he didn't see it clearly, and he didn't feel it.
Du Bai said coldly: "Good means! I hope you can still be so calm when facing my senior sister." ”
With that, he withdrew his karma and flew to the forbidden land with the primordial spirit.
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect Sect Master looked at this scene in amazement...
Is this a victory without a fight?
Strategically and directly saw through Senior Brother Du Bai's Yuan Shen disguise, the Yuan Shen was out of his body, and even identified the true body of Senior Brother Du Bai in a very short time?
This...
This Nima is the prince of Great Qi who has come to surrender?
Where does this Nima see the slightest bit of "surrender"?
The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect said calmly: "I am convinced, Your Highness and my senior sister will fight, no matter what the outcome is, I will not move the royal family of Qi Country again,
As for what His Highness said, I have also thought about it, and I will change this violent temper a little in the future.
His Highness is right, the strong are angry, and they should only swing their swords at the stronger, not the weak. ”
Xia Ji said: "Good." ”
