Volume 5 Shui Bo - Scarlet Doomsday Chapter 141 Spring and Autumn Sword Jie
Twilight Spring.
Wuyi Mountain.
Five Elements Slash Demon Pool. Wildflowers are fragrant. The butterfly dances in a long skirt fluttering, leaning on a large rock like a person in the painting, playing with a piece of grass in her hand.
Du Lengqiu was carrying a long sword in his hand, and he was dancing leisurely, no different from the old man and lady dancing the Tai Chi sword in the park. After a long time, he put away his sword and sheathed it.
He glanced at Butterfly Dance and complained: "The Buddha smiled with flowers and passed on his heart to his heart, so he has a Zen lineage." Butterfly dance, you pick up a root of grass, what are the allusions?"
Butterfly Dance didn't answer and asked, "Master, you dance the sword like this every day, which is slower than a butterfly flapping its wings, what is the reason for this?"
Du Lengqiu laughed, patted the scabbard, and boasted: "What do you little girl know, my swordsmanship has reached the realm of transcendent holiness, and every sword in my hand contains the truth of heaven and earth." How can this kind of swordsmanship be as fast and slow as street juggling?"
Butterfly Dance smiled, and her eyebrows were filled with contempt.
Du Lengqiu didn't care, he looked at the sky, it was already three poles in the sun, and he begged in his heart: "Qi San should also come here!"
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.
Qi San shouted and rushed over, his face full of excitement, "Brother Qiu, this time it is the turn of our Wuyi Mountain to preside over after all." It is said that the White Stone Road Palace attaches great importance to it, and the prize for the first place is a flying sword. ”
Seeing that Du Lengqiu's face was dazed, he couldn't help but get angry, and repeated in a loud voice: "Flying sword, that's a flying sword!
Du Lengqiu asked angrily: "The guy I asked you to find who invented the rune disk, what about the news?"
Qi San was even more annoyed, "Why are you always looking for someone? Looking for Zheng Yu before, Zheng Yu moved to other mountains. Now looking for this rune plate fool, it turned out that the man took the task of appreciating Yingtang and went down the mountain, and never came back. ”
Du Lengqiu was extremely disappointed.
Over the past few days, he has practiced the Five Elements Sword Talisman, and with a stroke of his hand, the sword talisman will be completed. He even succeeded in depicting the rune plate of the Five Elements Sword Talisman, but the problem came, after hundreds of previous tests, he used up the materials to fill the rune plate, and the second-hand materials of the abandoned rune plate were used cleanly.
He also tried all kinds of jade, mutton fat jade, Dushan jade, white marble, etc., but all of them were useless.
Now, Du Lengqiu wants to experiment with the rune plate of the Five Elements Sword Talisman, and there are two ways, one is to buy a rune plate and dig out the filler to use it again. The second is to find that genius fool and ask for the recipe.
The number of talismans is already small, and it will be impossible to find a seller for a while. Du Lengqiu naturally chose the second option, after all, he was extremely interested in the rune plate, and he wanted to do more experiments in the future.
Du Lengqiu waved his hand and said, "It's really disappointing news." ”
Qi San circled around Du Lengqiu, his face full of suspicion, "Something is wrong, you have no long things, even the sword is carved from wood, and when you hear the flying sword, you are not moved, is it difficult to ......"
"Could it be that what?" Looking at Qi San, who was incarnated as Sherlock Holmes Qi, Du Lengqiu asked with some amusement
"Could it be that you have discovered the Gu Immortal Cave Mansion?" Hehe, good brother is righteous, and if you have good things, you have to share them!" Qi San hooked his shoulders and back, seeking benefits with a shy old face.
Du Lengqiu pointed to the mountain road not far away, "I'll only send you one word!"
Qi San said frustratedly: "I know, get out." Seriously, is there really no Gu Immortal Cave Mansion?"
"Get out!"
"Turning your face is like turning a book, ruthless and unjust!" Seeing that Du Lengqiu was about to kick over, Qi San ran away without a trace.
Waiting for Qi San to walk away, Butterfly Dance asked curiously, "Master, aren't you curious about that Spring and Autumn Sword Jie at all?"
"There's nothing new under the sun. Spring and Autumn Jianjie, looking at the name of the second middle school, it is nothing more than winning the championship in a martial arts competition, and he uses his skills as a monkey to show people, I have no interest in this. ”
"Say ...... again"
Butterfly Dance asked curiously, "Say anything more?"
Du Lengqiu smiled mysteriously, "The next thing is the secret, I won't tell her from outsiders." ”
Butterfly Dance pretended to be sad, holding her hands in front of her chest, and wanted to cry, "I've been together for so long, I'm just an outsider!"
"Alas, youkai are youkai. I don't know how to stalk, it's really lonely like snow!" he looked up to the sky and sighed
In the afternoon, Zhao Tong came over with a wine gourd. After the meeting, Zhao Tong scolded Qi Sanyitong as usual, saying that he was unreliable in all kinds of things, and then explained the origin of the Spring and Autumn Jianjie.
At this time, Du Lengqiu realized that his guess was a little wrong. Although the name of the Spring and Autumn Sword Jie is cheesy, it is a crusade organized by the cultivation circles of the major mountains in the south of the Yangtze River.
The crusade is not against youkai, but on blood fiends.
Blood demons rarely move alone, and most of them will spontaneously gather in cities. And once the number of Blood Demons breaks through a certain limit, Blood Demons will be born in it. Unlike the Blood Demons, who have no intelligence, the Blood Demon is cunning and intelligent by nature.
That's it, what is especially frightening is that once the Blood Demon advances to the Blood God, a qualitative change will immediately occur. It is said that more than ten years ago, Jiangnan gave birth to a blood god, who was really poisonous and devoured by him.
In the end, it was the four god sects that jointly attacked to suppress the blood god under the leyline. The Blood God does not really die, once his form is destroyed, he will be reborn in any part of his blood, but it will take a short time.
In order to prevent the birth of a second blood god, there was this organized crusade.
The power of a single mountain, such as Wuyi Mountain, Siming Mountain, etc., is not enough to break the defenses of the Blood Demon City, and it is generally three to four mountains that join forces, and then the organizers take the lead in distributing prizes to motivate a large number of cultivators to participate.
Spring and Autumn Jianjie is held twice a year, once in spring and once in autumn. Every time it is a grand event for these martial arts cultivators, because the rewards are so rich.
For example, this time, the Spring and Autumn Sword Jie, presided over by the White Stone Dao Palace, will be rewarded as follows: the team that first arrives at the predetermined location on the outskirts of the city wall will be rewarded with 200 jade coins. Of course, it's a five-person squad of 200 jade dollars each.
Secondly, if the team that successfully besieges the Blood Demon, all participants will be rewarded with 500 jade coins. The cultivator who finally kills the Blood Demon will be rewarded with 1,500 jade coins. This is a crazy reward, you must know that the impossible task of killing the Moyun Tree is also a reward of 5,000 jade money.
And in the Appreciation Hall, it only costs 1,000 jade money to buy a flying sword. What's more, in the entire process of exterminating the blood demon, every blood bead obtained, there will be an income of jade money.
At the end of the day, the Spring and Autumn Sword Heroes' competition will have a rating. The rating is hosted by a real person from Flying Wonderland, and the three people with the highest scores will each receive the name of the Spring and Autumn Three Heroes until they are replaced next time.
This is not only an honorary reward, but also a first place reward of the Moon Emperor Divine Pill, the second place is rewarded with a flying sword, and the third place is rewarded with a hidden void gourd.
The flying sword is already crazy, and the Yuehua Emperor Divine Pill is the signboard of the Baishi Dao Palace, which can help anyone, even ordinary people without any cultivation, to prolong their life for a whole Jiazi, that is, sixty years of spring and autumn.
Sixty years is an insane number. You must know that even if a cultivator advances to the Divine Power Secret Realm and transcends mortals, he can only prolong his life by one Jiazi.
This divine pill can withstand countless years of penance, and it doesn't need to be tribulated, it is simply a supreme treasure. Of course, in order for the Yuehua Emperor Divine Pill to exert benefits, it is not enough to eat it in the stomach, but to have strict steps.
This kind of reward, Du Lengqiu was also thrilled when he heard it. Naturally, he didn't think about seizing the title of Spring and Autumn Sword Jie. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in this grass, Du Lengqi is not arrogant enough to think that it is invincible. But as long as you get a reward of a few hundred jade coins, then the cost of cultivation for most of the next half year will be lived.
As for exterminating the Blood Demon, hehe, please master it. Salted fish only needs the joy of salted fish.
"It takes five people to sign up, three of Brother Zhao, plus me, there is still one person missing. Do you have the right candidate?" Du Lengqiu is an authentic man of action.
Zhao Tong smiled bitterly, "No, as for the reason, we are not candidates for supernatural powers, and there is no reason for us to team up." ”
Du Lengqiu stroked his chin and frowned, "What the hell is the supernatural power candidate?"
"Although everyone is in the spiritual realm, those who have condensed the three scenes, eight divisions and three gods of heaven, earth and man, and practiced the six supernatural powers are qualified to be called candidates for supernatural powers. ”
"Cut, I thought it was all extravagant characters. He waved his hand with great disdain. Turning to look at Butterfly Dance, he said casually: "If it doesn't work, use Butterfly Dance to make up the numbers." Anyway, we didn't even think about taking the first place!"
Zhao Tong smiled bitterly again, but he had to admit that what Du Lengqiu said was really true. He couldn't help but take a sip of wine and sighed: "It's really more than goods to throw away, and people have to die more than people." Why is it that when someone cultivates like a bamboo, I am as slow as a snail?"
Du Lengqiu didn't bother to answer. Zhao Tong also persuaded Qi San not to compare with others, but now he complained again. This is called easier said than done. Otherwise, how can there be the proverb "If you become a monk as before, you will become more than a Buddha"?
"When is the deadline for registration, and when is the departure time?"
"Registration closes in three days. The departure was on the day of the rain in the valley. Every year, it is the same, and there will be a flying cloud boat in the White Stone Road Palace to carry all the contestants to the Nine Immortals Mountain. It is said that the city to be exterminated this time is the closest to the Nine Immortals Mountain. ”
"Brother Zhao, you go and sign up, let's prepare some panacea separately. When you're away from home, be sure to be well prepared. Du Lengqiu unconsciously began to assign tasks. Since the last Kongyin Temple incident, Du Lengqiu has been in the leading position in this gang, which is a subtle process. Zhao Tong and the others didn't even notice it.
Zhao Tong got the accurate news, so he hurried to sign up.
The registration office was crowded, and there were hundreds of people crowded there. There are seven or eight thousand cultivators in Wuyi Mountain, and there must be two thousand of them who want to participate. Even if there was only one person from each team to sign up, there would have to be 400 people here.
This is not the first time that Spring and Autumn Jianjie has signed up, but the enthusiasm of young people is still full. However, Zhao Tong is an old fellow. He knew at a glance that the line had to be in the middle of the moon.
Cultivators seize the day.
There are too many things needed to prepare all kinds of pills, talismans, and magic weapons in the next few days, and these necessary investments are only meaningful after signing up, so everyone's enthusiasm today can be understood.
Zhao Tong stood at the back of the line and lined up, the speed of the line was relatively slow, until the willows on the moon shone on Wuyi, and Zhao Tong finally lined up in the front.
"The names of the five members of your squad, as well as their approximate strength, must be reported. The person in charge of registration pointed to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, and his speech was weak. It's been a busy day, and he's been working hard. The point is that doing these chores is extremely low and not exciting.
Zhao Tong hurriedly picked up the brush with the hand holding the sword, and slashed it on the rice paper, penetrating the back of the paper, but it was a big ink spot. He smiled awkwardly, put the pen down, and said with a low smile: "I also ask my senior brother to help me write." ”
"I know!" the manager wailed, took the brush and asked, "Name and strength, don't mention anything else." ”
Zhao Tong hurriedly reported the name and strength of his group.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the rear, and the voice of "Senior Brother Liu" was endless. Zhao Tong turned around and saw a brocade-clothed man coming from the willows, Zhao Tong's face changed, and he said secretly: "It's actually Liu Guanjie, it's really unlucky." ”
