Chapter 25: The little spear fairy has been thinking hard for a hundred years, and the old sword venerable once solved his doubts
In the fourth level of the Qingyuan Sword Venerable Tomb, the water in the tomb changed its previous relatively soft style, and hit several people like a fierce wind. The wine that is responsible for opening the way in front of the head is constantly stacked with spiritual runes to alleviate the pain.
But even so, after about thirty paces, he couldn't hold it anymore. At this time, it was about ninety percent of the way from the fourth burial chamber. In desperation, Jiu also warmed the elixir specially prepared for him by Xu Jinghuai, and then imitated the Qingyuan Sword Intent with a cultivation that was close to the peak of the Fu Nian Realm.
For a while, he escorted a few people about half the way. Of course, at the price, he would lose all of his cultivation in a short period of time. This is one of his exclusive abilities as a rune celestial questioner. That is, under certain conditions, burst out of rune cultivation far beyond their own realm.
Compared to the Blood Burning Mantra, Jiu Yiwen's Heavenly Question ability did not have the drawbacks of reducing longevity, and the improved cultivation was also very considerable. However, the Blood Incineration Charm can be used continuously, but for now, his abilities must be recuperated.
Having said that, although several people have advanced halfway, their own situation is even more dangerous. To put it bluntly, the leap is too fierce, but it can't adapt. Seeing that Yao Shuqian, the commander of the Suzaku Internal Guard, who was responsible for replacing Jiu Yiwen, was already on the verge of collapse.
At the critical moment, Xu Jinghuai asked He Shaohua to go to the top, and asked Yao Shuqian to return to the third tomb with wine and warmth. Fortunately, He Shaohua deserved to be the genius favored by Princess Shen back then, and he was stunned to push forward about half of the distance by himself.
After that, he told Xu Jinghuai: "I can't hold it anymore, remember to find the pill for me." With that, with the help of the protection of the gold wire, he also returned to the third burial chamber. And what replaced him was the eight-rank water system magic sword invited by Nangong Yunyun.
However, what was disappointing was that this eight-rank water system magic sword had a serious lack of comprehension of Qingyuan's sword intent. Therefore, he only advanced ten steps and retreated.
Xu Jinghuai was so angry that he just wanted to pull it back, but found that the man had melted into the flowing water, and there were no bones.
The reason for this is that, on the one hand, the ability of the female magic sword is indeed worse; On the other hand, she had the advantage in the cultivation system, but she did not give full play to it, which caused great dissatisfaction from Qingyuan Sword Venerable.
(ps: That's why I'm too lazy to name it, anyway, it's a passerby role who throws bricks and stones)
After his death, Xu Jinghuai took over the task of opening the way. Originally, he still wanted to escort Xia Yuan into the fourth burial chamber at the last moment, but now he is afraid that he is a little powerless.
There was no way, the water flow at this time had already reached his chest, and the strength of the sword intent was far beyond his recovery ability. At a distance of only ten or so steps, there were already more than twenty pills in the stomach.
In this regard, Xia Yuan was worried, so she asked Xu Jinghuai to retreat behind her. However, if this had been placed before, there would have been no need for Xia Yuan to take the initiative to say it, Xu Jinghuai would have been hiding behind a long time ago. But now, both intellectually and emotionally, he is on top.
There is no way, Qingyuan Sword Venerable must want a sword cultivator as a successor, and Xia Yuan's chance of being recognized is still very high. So, Xu Jinghuai used everything he could use. But even so, they were still a little half way from the fourth burial chamber. By this time, the water in the tomb was almost above shoulder.
Xu Jinghuai gritted his teeth and decided to give it a go. So, he undressed himself and showed off his muscular but not very majestic figure. To put it bluntly, it is yin with yang, and yang with softness.
This was the first time Xia Yuan had seen Xu Jinghuai, who was completely naked, so in such a dangerous situation, there was a ripple in her heart.
Xu Jinghuai seemed to notice this and reminded: "Concentrate, I'll take you to rush in." ”
Xia Yuan panicked, and faced Xu Jinghuai, who was about to leave, she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, so she hugged her. Xu Jinghuai didn't say anything about this, only to see him shoot impermanently, like a water snake passing through the water flow of the tomb.
Miraculously, his "water snake" actually avoided the Qingyuan sword intent implied in the water flow, and after a few breaths, he passed through the tomb passage and arrived at the fourth burial chamber. At this time, the current reaches the neck.
After about three or five breaths, the stone door of the tomb behind him slowly fell, and the water in the fourth tomb did not enter a rising lotus platform.
Xu Jinghuai was puzzled in his heart and muttered, "It shouldn't be!" Did I guess wrong? ”
Xia Yuan was curious: "What are you muttering?" ”
Xu Jinghuai explained: "According to my guess, the entire tomb should correspond to the five stages of life. That is, childhood, youth, prime of life, middle age, and twilight years. The corresponding currents are: feet, knees, waist, shoulders, and the top of the head. But now, we have only gone through four levels, and the flow of water has stopped, which is not normal! ”
"Could it be the same as before, you need to challenge the master of the divine soldier to open the next level?"
"Unlikely! When you look at the content of the murals, most of them reveal a kind of loneliness. In terms of time calculation, the Qingyuan Sword Venerable at this time is already invincible in the world, except for the two Star Monarchs of Bliss and Extreme Sorrow who are in charge of the Ancestral Star Heavenly Gate, how can there be any opponents! ”
After hearing this, Xia Yuan pointed to a mural with the only character and asked, "Could that old man be the Star Monarch of Bliss?" ”
"Smiling constantly, and carrying a wine gourd with him, the one who can still make Qingyuan Sword Zun treat him respectfully, it is estimated that it is the one."
"So what are we going to do now?"
"First you should get off me, and then I need to put on my clothes."
Xia Yuan blushed and let go of her hands, then lowered her head again and asked in a low voice, "Do you need me to avoid it?" ”
Xu Jinghuai quipped while dressing: "If I say I need to, do you want to make a hole and get in?" ”
Xia Yuan didn't react for a while, and after sweeping left and right, she found that the fourth burial chamber had become a closed secret room. Moreover, in terms of the material of the surrounding wall tiles, not to mention the holes, even the divine sense cannot penetrate them.
Soon, Xu Jinghuai changed into a new dress and carefully observed the rising lotus platform. According to his guess, if the Qingming Sword was really in the hands of the Qingyuan Sword Venerable, and the fourth tomb was the main tomb, it would most likely be in the Lotus Terrace.
It's a pity that I didn't get anything out of it after researching for a long time. At this time, Xia Yuan reminded: "Qingyuan Sword Venerable is majoring in swordsmanship, so there shouldn't be any research on organ news. ”
"You are wrong, a woman who can become a Sword Venerable must have an extraordinary mind. Therefore, not to mention the news of the organs, even the number of Qimen techniques is also easy to understand at a glance. ”
"Not necessarily, right? Judging from the construction of the tomb alone, there is nothing but the flow of water. ”
"The road is simple, it just works!"
"Do you see the way out, then?"
Xu Jinghuai pestled his chin, looked at the lotus platform, and then looked at the starry sky on the top of the tomb, and frowned: "It's too profound, I can't see anything for a while." ”
As soon as the words fell, Xia Yuan jumped on the lotus platform, learned from one of the murals, and sat cross-legged. The next moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from inside the tomb.
"After climbing the lotus platform, I have a master-apprentice relationship. When you enter my door today, don't insult the teacher's name. ”
Xu Jinghuai looked at the scene in front of him, and his mind suddenly went blank. After all, it was too far from what he had guessed. But in any case, the lotus platform glowed, which seemed to mark the beginning of preaching and teaching.
——————————
Time is both precious and tedious for practitioners. However, the wait is still long. In the blink of an eye, Xia Yuan had been on the lotus platform for three hundred and thirty-three years, and her cultivation had also improved from the seventh rank to the eighth rank.
If she hadn't deliberately interrupted, I'm afraid she would really be able to break through to the Nine Rank Sword Immortal Realm in one fell swoop. That's not what she wants, though. In other words, the magic sword cultivation was still inferior to the pure sword cultivation in her eyes, even if she worshiped under the Qingyuan Sword Venerable.
After more than 300 years of waiting, Xu Jinghuai is still the same. The only thing that has changed is the clothes on my body, which have been replaced with a new set. To be precise, it should be the fourth set. That is, to change the set every hundred years, which has been his habit for a long time.
Xia Yuan naturally knew this, looked at the clothes she had worn for hundreds of years, and said helplessly: "You live more delicately than a woman like me." ”
"Can I consider this a high compliment?"
Xia Yuan jumped off the lotus platform, looked at the chessboard that Xu Jinghuai used to pass the time, and made a stroke casually, and then smiled slyly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to praise." ”
Xu Jinghuai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and asked while packing up the chess sets: "Did your master mention the Qingming Sword to you?" ”
"I'm sorry, but I didn't accept her legacy. So, strictly speaking, she is not my master yet. As for the Qingming Sword, it was indeed in her hands, and it was in the main tomb. ”
"Is there a way to get in?"
Xia Yuan shook his head and explained, "Qingyuan Sword Venerable doesn't like to be disturbed, otherwise he wouldn't have set up his inheritance here. ”
"I know, but I mean, can you get in the other way?"
Xia Yuan did not answer immediately, but slapped her palm on the lotus platform. The next moment, a star-level spear flew out. Xu Jinghuai just glanced at it, and recognized the origin of the divine soldier. That is, one of the top ten famous guns of Zuxing, the tiger head Zhan golden gun, and its owner is the famous nine-grade gun immortal - Chen Xuanhu.
(PS: The top ten guns of the ancestral star must be counted from the establishment of the five major temples, and the previous top ten guns are all star soldiers.) For example, the natal divine weapon of the Impermanence Spear Venerable - Cangyun Gun. )
Xu Jinghuai naturally understands Chen Xuanhu's strength, and it can be seen that breaking through is obviously a dead end. But the problem is that without the Qingming Sword, the Xuankong Sword Shrine can't be opened, so his previous efforts will be in vain.
In desperation, Xu Jinghuai could only reproduce the scene of the Qingyuan Sword honoring the Sword of Judgment with a talisman. Although his talisman is not as good as that of wine, and the reproduction scene is a little rough, there is one thing about him that is beyond the reach of wine. i.e., the face.
"The predecessor of Jianzun, I have no intention of offending in the next place, but today the door is sealed, Wushan is broken, and foreign tribes invade on a large scale. Although there are many misfortunes in the predecessors, after all, they are the sword venerable of our human race. Therefore, the younger generation begs the seniors to focus on the overall situation and let Qingming reappear in the world! ”
Fortunately, Xu Jinghuai's impassioned words won a response from Qingyuan Sword Venerable.
But unfortunately, Qingyuan Sword Venerable didn't seem to approve of it. I only heard a slight reproach in his tone: "You kid, you have tried many times before, and this seat is understandable. But why do you have to undress and break through, who are you in this seat? ”
"The seniors misunderstood, the juniors didn't mean to offend, but the shooting of the practice was more special."
As soon as the words fell, he was slapped by Qingyuan Sword Venerable. Then, he reprimanded sharply: "You still dare to quibble until now, do you really think that this seat will not kill you?" ”
"Why do seniors think that juniors are quibbling?"
"Why? Heh, the impermanence shot in your hand is a remnant, right? It's hard for you to practice to the point where you can get to this point. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Jinghuai was really a little panicked. After all, Chen Xuanhu was already a nine-rank spear immortal, so what was his purpose in breaking into the Sword Venerable Tomb? This answer, Xu Jinghuai was both expectant and afraid.
However, Qingyuan Sword Venerable's words pierced his careful thoughts.
"You guessed it right, the end of the impermanence execution is in the hands of this seat. And Chen Xuanhu couldn't ask for it back then, so he thought about breaking through. It's a pity that the gun fairy, in front of the sword intent of this seat, is like an ant. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Jinghuai didn't want to hide it, and said coldly: "The seniors really refuse to hand over the Qingming Sword? ”
"Heh, for more than 300 years, you have been using chess games to calculate the operation of the formation, do you really think that this seat does not know? To tell you the truth, from the moment you step here, what you see, think, and encounter is all designed by this seat a long time ago. So, all the while, you don't have any chance of winning. ”
Xu Jinghuai sighed, and said helplessly: "The juniors want to know, why did the seniors do this?" Can't you just do it? ”
"There are too many ignorant people in this world, and it's rare to meet a little guy like you, so naturally you have to have a good time."
"Don't seniors feel overconfident?"
"Haha... You deduce from the previous mural that this seat is alone, and you want to think carefully. Of course, your self-confidence is still worth affirming, and maybe sooner, there will really be a glimmer of opportunity.
But the problem is, I'm already a white bone, and even if I have that heart, I don't have that power! It's the girl next to you who has been coveting you for a long time. What a pity! She refuses to worship me as a teacher, otherwise I would have been willing to fulfill her. ”
"What is the senior going to do with us?"
"A plant needs nutrients to survive, let alone a dying tree."
"The junior really can't figure it out, you are all a white bone now, why do you still maintain a wisp of remnant soul?"
"When you reach my realm, you will understand. It's a pity that you don't have a chance. ”
"Isn't it really negotiable?"
"Although I am a little reluctant, I know too much, and it is always a hidden danger to keep you! What's more, we cultivators have already done things that are against the heavens, and no matter how much we die, it will not violate the way of heaven. ”
As soon as these words came out, I saw Xu Jinghuai bow down and say: "The seniors are taught, so please ask the seniors to go on the road." ”
With that, he sacrificed the snake queen and flew up to change the position of the stars on the top of the tomb. The next moment, the stone door leading to the main tomb slowly rose, and the water full of Qingyuan sword intent in the tomb leaked out.
Xu Jinghuai hurriedly turned the lotus platform and brought Xia Yuan, who was still in a daze, up. Then, just as they had first entered, the water was absorbed by the lotus platform.
After about half a pillar of incense, the water in the tomb finally dried up. Xu Jinghuai waited for a while, and only after making sure that there was no danger did he jump off the lotus platform.
Seeing this scene, Xia Yuan was speechless in surprise. Xu Jinghuai smiled, raised his head and stepped into the main tomb. Xia Yuan reacted and hurriedly followed.
"Isn't she lying to you? How exactly did you come up with the idea of a way out? ”
Xu Jinghuai shrugged his shoulders slightly and said, "Didn't I say it, she was overconfident." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Uh... To put it simply, it took me more than 300 years, and in the end, I was lonely. However, one of your casual sons brought me out of her layout. It was at that moment that I realized I had been tricked.
Fortunately, the predecessors who helped Qingyuan Jianzun build this tomb left a way for future generations. What's ridiculous is that the Qingyuan Sword Venerable doesn't know anything about it, and thinks that he has no last resort! ”
However, the moment Xu Jinghuai walked into the main burial chamber, he realized that the real clown was actually himself. Just imagine, who can achieve the position of Sword Venerable, which one is good at stubble?
Xu Jinghuai looked at the soul nourishing lotus in the pool, and said in great surprise: "Since you know, why don't you stop it?" ”
"Because, for me, there is nothing more interesting than admiring your expression."
Xu Jinghuai suddenly got angry and said, "Do you believe that I can make you disappear completely now?" ”
"Haha... I believe you have this ability, but don't you want the Qingming Sword and Impermanence to be shot? ”
"Say it! What are the conditions? ”
"Help me live another life!"
"Joke, do you think I am the all-powerful Emperor of Heaven?"
Qingyuan Sword Venerable condensed a human form, and then stepped on the Soul Nourishing Lotus, smiling and smiling: "If there is no basis, how can you stand in front of me?" ”
"In that case, then why are you wasting more than three hundred years of my time?"
"I have to take the time to understand, or you will come up and destroy my primordial spirit, who will I talk to?"
"And what if I don't come in?"
Qingyuan Jianzun stroked the petals, and said in an indifferent tone: "Then it can only become nutrients." ”
Xu Jinghuai let out a long sigh and asked, "Can you really be reborn with just a wisp of remnant soul?" ”
"Absolutely!"
"Can you still return to the cultivation of the peak period after being reborn?"
"Hehe, resurrecting from the dead is against heaven after all, so no matter how perfect it is, it can't be restored to its peak."
"How much can you keep?"
"If you're lucky, you should have a three-fifty!"
Xu Jinghuai didn't say anything more, but lowered his head and thought about the pros and cons of this matter.
Xia Yuan looked at Qingyuan Sword Venerable, full of curiosity: "I have a doubt, since you don't want to die, why don't you prepare before you die?" ”
"Hehe, didn't this question already have an answer before?"
Xia Yuan carefully recalled her previous experience, and suddenly she thought of something, and asked, "Could it be because of the Paradise Star Monarch?" ”
"That's right! Because there are a pair of eyes on it, I don't dare to overdo it. Actually, not only me, but other old guys in the Star Monarch Realm are waiting for an opportunity. And now, the opportunity has come. ”
"You mean, there will be other Fallen Star Lords reborn?"
"It should be! The reason why Zu Xing got this name is because she gave birth to big names like Emperor Yuantian, God of War Emperor, Emperor Xuantian, and Emperor Donghua. Although the star rating has been lowered due to the influence of the Heavenly Gate, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is not surprising that several star monarchs have appeared.
In the past, there were two star monarchs of Bliss and Extreme Sorrow staring, so those old guys like me didn't dare to be presumptuous. But now that you have lost your restraint and are you, can you be willing? ”
"And what exactly are the conditions for your rebirth?"
"It varies from person to person, but it can be roughly divided into two kinds: one is to take the creation of heaven and earth, and then shape the body. Second, take the source of life and take it for your own use. ”
"What's the difference?"
"The first is to search for all kinds of rare heavenly and earthly treasures, so as to create a body that can accommodate the remnant soul. The second kind hurts the heavens and the peace, don't mention it! ”
Although Qingyuan Jianzun didn't explain it, he didn't have to think about it to understand that it must be a murderous act. At the same time, after some careful consideration, Xu Jinghuai agreed to help Qingyuan Sword respect and shape the flesh.
However, when he listened to the materials required by Qingyuan Sword Venerable, the whole person was stunned. Not to mention the materials he had never even heard of by name, the ones he had heard were extremely rare treasures.
It can be said that reshaping the physical body is basically equivalent to refining the elixir. The difference is that one is Dan and the other is human.
Of course, there was still a lot to gain from this trip, at least he got the Qingming Sword and the coveted impermanence shot. Also, most of the material grows in restricted areas. This is not good news for others, but for Xu Jinghuai, they have to make a trip anyway, and they just take it together.
However, the forbidden area is an extremely dangerous place after all, and if you want to enter it, you must always be prepared. For example, first enter a nine grades, and then find some substitutes for dead ghosts and the like.
It just so happened that Qingyuan Sword Venerable provided Xu Jinghuai with the complete text of the impermanence execution, as well as the necessary cultivation resources. In this way, he can be regarded as having the capital to impact the Nine Rank Pure Spear Immortal. Presumably, on the day he leaves the customs, the Terran of the Ancestral Star will usher in a new generation of Nine Rank Gun Immortals.
