A month and a half later,

Xia Ji took stock of the rich harvest.

"Fifteen pale golden skill beads, containing all kinds of Taoism;

Five golden skill beads, containing powerful Taoist law phases;

Two dark gold skill beads, which are the top methods in the talismans, as well as the methods that call the wind and rain;

There is also a black skill bead, and the rest are purple and not worth mentioning.

I never thought that this black color happened to be the advanced skill bead of the waterway, and it really deserved to be the largest Taoist museum on Abbot Island. ”

Xia Ji stood on the ninth floor, his body was full of subtlety, and he looked as simple and unpretentious as an ordinary person.

After using the Black Skill,

His crimson waterways had finally reached the tenth level.

"It's not enough, it's not enough. ”

He sighed softly.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the leather contract.

This time it's Ji Xuan's.

"Teacher, the prospective teacher is here to find her, where is it?"

"Prospective teacher?"

"It's Su Tian. However, I told her that before parting, Master said that she would travel for half a year, and that it would take two or three months to return. She let her come back and go to Su's house to look for her. ”

"Got it. ”

...

A few days later.

The leather contract suddenly rang again.

Hu Xian'er said: "Master..."

Xia Ji: "Is my mother forcing you to eat something again?"

"No, master, a woman suddenly came to the imperial capital, she was extremely strong, she called herself Su Daji, and said let her come out to see her. ”

Su Daji?

Xia Ji was stunned, the Su family didn't have this person, right?

"How strong is she?"

"It's unfathomable, I can't get past a single trick in her hands. I said no, she left a message and invited her to fight at the top of the Forbidden City three months later. ”

"What does she look like?"

Brush brush brush.

Soon, a grimace appeared on the leather contract.

Xia Ji: "So ugly?"

"No, no, no. ”

Hu Xian'er continued to paint, and then another picture emerged.

Xia Ji: "So thin, the same as a matchstick?"

"No, no, it's beautiful, it's just that I can't draw well. ”

"What's the color of her hair?"

"A head of green silk and a waist. ”

"What face shape?"

"Foxy face, I suspect that she is an ancestor. ”

"What about height?"

"Less than one meter seven. ”

Xia Ji's expression was quiet, it seems that it is not Su Tian? Su Tian is tall, about 1.75 meters old, although his appearance is charming, but it is far from a foxy face, who could it be?

Looks like I'll have to go back once in three months.

Half a month later.

Xia Ji had already roughly scanned the Dao Treasure Pavilion.

Sure enough, as long as it wasn't an ancient book, the skill beads provided would be blue, and at most purple, and although there were many books left, they would have little value to him.

So, it's time to return?

"Although I can stay at the underground transfer station, there are always some shortcomings..."

Xia Ji looked at the Taoist aunt who came and went in the neighborhood under his feet.

Suddenly, many flying swords headed east.

Xia Ji's heart moved, took out the sword pill that Xu Guzi gave him before leaving, poured his breath, and as soon as his mind moved, the sword pill the size of a dragon's eye began to expand and change, and soon turned into a flying sword.

He sensed slightly,

This flying sword is not like a divine weapon, and it has no weapon spirit to communicate, but it is just a weapon that can extend to a certain range and carry out volley attacks.

He stepped on the flying sword and followed the crowd to the east.

To the east, it's bustling.

Xia Ji casually asked a young Taoist who was passing by, "This senior brother, may I ask why everyone is gathered here?"

The Dao Dao said: "The battle of the Dao Law of the younger generation on Abbot Island is once in ten years, this is an unprecedented event, and many people will go there at that time. ”

Another Taoist who passed by suddenly said, "Senior Brother Jushan also signed up to go this time, right?"

The Taoist who was talking to Xia Ji looked back, and saluted with a smile: "Naturally, I want to go, this avenue is to fight, otherwise where will I know the superior." ”

"It is said that the top few in this Dao Law Dispute can obtain the elixir provided by the Jiuding Dan Palace, the opportunity to forge by the hands of the True Martial Pavilion Agni Zhenren, and even the exercises provided by the Xuantian Temple and the opportunity to enter the urn.

Even if you can't be in the top few, as long as you perform well, you can also leave a name on this abbot island, if you can be on the real list, it will be a blessing. ”

"So, I'm going to go. ”

"Haha, together, together. ”

"Senior brother, when will this competition be held?"

"Say it's half a month later. ”

The two apparently knew each other well, and went east to register together.

Although the people of Jinyufang are Taoists, many of them are young people, not to mention that each sect is on the same island, so naturally there is also the meaning of competing for Taoism.

Xia Ji listened quietly.

Naturally, a sect will not focus on just one thing, many of the disciples who participated in the fire tribulation to find opportunities were the eighth or even seventh generation disciples, and the remaining young eighth generation and ninth generation disciples were going to participate in this "martial arts competition".

It's just that he can't raise the slightest interest in the battle of Taoism.

I don't feel anything about being on that reality list?

Because, he already knew that no matter what the list, it was impossible to record the ancient nine.

He just looked at the nine, and everything else was out of his sight.

The world is big, but there are only nine of his enemies in the world, maybe Su Tian is his ally, but if he can't even beat Su Tian, how can he deal with others?

He sighed softly.

After the young people, but they are high-spirited,

They are male and female,

Hearing this sigh, some even glanced back at Xia Ji,

And then showed a somewhat disdainful smile,

It seems to be saying, "I don't usually practice well, what's the use of sighing at this time?

Xia Ji staggered past them.

Back to Jinyufang, the manor where Jingming Zhenren is located.

A "Underground Transit Station" was installed under the bed using the Mask of the King of Equality in order to return to the Imperial Capital and travel to Mirror Lake.

Then, he sat alone in the courtyard.

Brewed a pot of hot tea,

Piping hot

It exudes the refreshing aroma of spiritual grass.

He suddenly felt a little old,

Because the young man will give birth to a calf and will not be afraid of the tiger,

will want to be higher than the heavenly test,

will be high-spirited and want to win the first place in the competition.

But he didn't have those hearts.

The more you know, the more lonely and old you become.

Because you will find that those so-called battles have no meaning and value.

Xia Ji took a sip of hot tea and tapped his fingers on the table.

muttered in his mouth: "The martial arts competition, once in ten years, is unprecedentedly grand, and many people go back... Hmm..."

He closed his eyes and pondered, "If people go, won't the sect be empty?

I already have a rough idea of where the other sects are.

And you only need a token to enter the mountain gate... After entering the mountain gate, you can read books, and there are many disciples of the other three major sects, and it is enough to enter the pavilion with a token. ”

He stood up, his body full of terrifying and deep power, his heart even exceeding the strength of the dragon's heart, beating quietly in this empty world.

"Water dragons. ”

His hands were slowly raised, and a little starlight suddenly condensed in the air, like the scales of a water dragon, wrapping around him.

"Mist-shaped. ”

After a thought, all these scales turned into mist and steamed.

"Baichuan. ”

The steaming mist was turned into a comet by his fingers, and the tail of the wisdom that came from all directions shot towards the extreme distance, and its power was so strong that it seemed to drive this space to pounce, and when it was halfway, it was like a strong bow shooting, but the crossbow encountered time standing still in the middle of the road and suddenly stopped.

"Creation. ”

Xia Ji held a palm, and the comet turned into a mist of water became ordinary water, watered in the soil under a dead tree, and the tree suddenly turned dry to glory, and the green leaves grew luxuriantly.

"Water walks. ”

The mind moves again.

Xia Ji stepped out, and the whole person's skin began to change, and then, his body also began to change, and after an instant, where was Xia Ji, only a puddle of water remained, slowly flowing forward.

The water flowed through the dirt, through the crack in the door, until it reached the dark house, rose from the ground, and recondensed into the form of Xia Ji.

This is the tenth layer of the waterway, which is a temporary transformation of the body by the water of the five elements, driven by the power of the bloodline.

Xia Ji did not light the candle flame and lay on the dark bed, surrounded by silence.

It seems that the sound of "Dididi" is faintly sounded.

There is a message from the leather scroll contract.

It's Hu Xian'er.

"Master, my mother asked if I could get the snake tail of the swallowing python and the snail meat of the Huode snail. ”

Xia Ji's expression moved, "I'll try." ”

"Oh. ”

Xia Ji thought about it, he had seen in the book that the Swallowing Python is a snake that lives in the tropics, likes to devour burning flowers and trees, and is a very strange snake species, this kind of snake is extremely rare, but now that the fire has just started, maybe you can encounter it.

The Huode snail is a similar species, and the defense system is that the high temperature of the snail shell makes it impossible for other creatures to touch it, and it is recorded in the book that they often haunt the boundary between the shrub and the magma.

Niang herself definitely can't think of these things, the only explanation is that Niang has an adventure, and nine times out of ten it is the welfare of the traverser.

But this is my mother's own secret.

He pretended not to know.

Flicking out the candle flame, he closed his eyes and entered the water, and the beating of his heart forged his body all the time, making him stronger and stronger.

...

...

Half a month later.

Suspended in the East China Sea, Abbot Island is connected to the sky and the blue waves below.

If you look down from a high place, you can see many flying swords spiraling towards a center like cold currents in a whirlpool.

The scene was spectacular and grandiose.

This is a once-in-a-decade battle of Taoism, and disciples from various sects and sects are rushing to the main hall of the martial arts competition.

However, the abbot island is extremely long, and the distance varies from place to place, and there are many Taoists who spend the night halfway.

Warm air in late spring,

At night, the moon rises with the tide.

To the northwest of the island, a stream flows quietly from the top of a mountain.

Several Taoist priests are leisurely catching fish in the stream, bowing their heads and drinking water.

Water is as sweet as nectar,

The Taoist priest and Dao Gu were wearing the clothes of the disciples of the True Martial Pavilion.

"This time, I will definitely let other sects see the Dao method of my True Martial Pavilion. ”

The young round-faced Dao Gu smiled: "Senior brother, seeing that you are so complacent, you must have broken through the tenth realm and condensed the Fa Phase?"

"It's still half a chip, but it's enough. ”

The young Taoist priest on the other side suddenly laughed, and then shook his head.

"Senior Brother Jiang, why are you laughing?"

"Did I laugh?"

For a while, the atmosphere was suddenly a little depressing.

The young round-faced Dao Gu hurriedly played a round game: "Senior brother, junior brother, this time I go out, when I resonate the prestige of my True Martial Pavilion, I can't be underestimated by the other three sects." ”

"I hope Senior Brother Jiang won't make a fool of himself. ”

"I will leave this as it is and return it to my senior brother. ”

“！”

"How am I?"

"Don't make any noise, this is outside, and if someone sees it, it will make a joke. The round-faced Dao Gu hurriedly shouted.

But the two suddenly faced off with their edges.

The sword light was staggered, the air flow was vertical and horizontal, and even the night wind was broken, and the waves of the surrounding streams also flew up.

No one noticed that a flying wave of water swept away the token on the waist of a Taoist priest, and then naturally slapped down to the extreme, and went away with the other streams.

When the waves reached the lower reaches of the stream, they came ashore and manifested themselves in the moonlight.

He grabbed the token in his hand, looked at it, and muttered: "The two rows of the True Martial Pavilion, this time the three major sects are all together." ”

Xia Ji looked around and muttered to himself: "The closest thing to here is this True Martial Pavilion, let's go over when it gets dawn." ”

...

Dawn the next day.

No one saw a figure quietly enter the True Martial Pavilion's mountain protection array.

It's like a wave of light that doesn't sink into it.

However, unexpectedly, as soon as he entered this array, the big bell on the top of the True Martial Pavilion Mountain suddenly rang automatically.

In an instant, several figures appeared on the top of the mountain.

"It must have been an outsider who robbed the disciple token and stole it into my sect. ”

"Someone did it a few years ago, and it was abolished by the master, and now there are still people who dare to do this?"

"Is it true that I can come to the True Martial Pavilion when I want to, and leave when I want to?"

Xia Ji looked up at the ringing bell, and secretly snooped in his heart, it was really not so easy.

But it is impossible for him to give up and quit immediately.

He swept his gaze, combined with some of the information he had heard about the True Martial Pavilion in the Golden Jade Workshop, and he quickly headed towards the southwest, where was the True Martial Pavilion's library with five floors.

The way to find the intruder in the True Martial Pavilion is very simple, gather the disciples and gather on the True Martial Square, and then the remaining person is easy to find.

While!

While!

While!

The big bell on the top of the mountain rang suddenly, and it rang three times to signal the summoning.

At this time, Xia Ji had already arrived at the entrance of the Library Pavilion, and the pavilion keeper at the entrance of the Library Pavilion was a young Dao Gu, she stretched out her hand, and Xia Ji directly took out the token and handed it to her.

The young Dao Gu looked at it, "Let's go in." ”

After finishing speaking, she suddenly heard the bell and said, "Senior brother, let's go to the square together." ”

Xia Ji seemed to be thinking about it: "I've been meditating on a guiding technique for the past few days, but I can't understand it..."

After that, his eyes were blank, and he muttered in his mouth, "The dragon guides the tiger, the bear swallows the turtle, the swallow flies, the snake bends and the bird stretches, and the sky looks up... How can this human body be one with the breath by imitating the form?

As he spoke, he walked towards the library.

Seeing him like this, the young Dao Gu couldn't help but laugh out loud, this junior brother looked quite handsome, but he didn't expect it to be...

"Nerd. ”

She smiled, left him alone, and went out of her own way, answering the call of the three bronze bells.
