Chapter 57 The Road to Shu is Difficult
readx;? Shu Mountain is not as tall and magnificent as Kunlun Mountain, but its precipitousness is still excessive. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Rao is Ning Yan has seen the great world of the upper realm, and when he came to the foot of Shu Mountain, he couldn't help but be a little admired, he looked up, the clusters of mountain peaks were like being cut off by the ghost axe of the Heavenly Dao, and the cliffs were steep and smooth, as if dozens of sharp swords were stuck upside down on the ground, or dozens of sharp swords broke through the ground and stabbed straight up.
Shushan is like a sword. The blade of the sword tore through the clouds of earthly smoke and pointed straight at the blue sky.
The mountain of Shushan is too steep for mortals to climb at all, and it is difficult to build a stone step road, so the predecessors built a simple plank road on the cliff for people to walk.
A poem is full of the hardships and dangers of Shu Road, and those who have seen the plank road of Shu Mountain, even if they close their eyes in the future, they can imagine that shocking picture in the darkness.
The thousand-zhang rock wall with green grass and moss stands straight upright, and the broken wooden plank road that is so narrow that it can be traverse can be crossed by a hand, and the end hook is connected to the top of the mountain above the clouds.
How difficult is this path? The flight of the yellow crane is not yet passable, and the ape wants to climb through the sorrows. How dangerous is this road?
Mortals should tremble when they step on it, even if they are cultivators, they must take their breath lightly, so as not to stumble and fall from a height of thousands of zhang.
As for fighting on it, it's like a joke. The wood used to build the plank path was an ordinary tree, even if the footsteps were heavier, it would be shaky, not to mention the aftermath of the cultivator's true qi during the battle.
The Sword Pavilion of Shushan Mountain is located on the top of Yunshan Mountain, which is the easiest place to defend and difficult to attack.
Ning Yan walked into the hinterland of Shu Mountain, and saw that Li Jianqi was already waiting in front of Shu Dao, wearing a gray plain robe, and arched his hand to Ning Yan.
"Let Brother Li wait for a long time. This time, I was able to see the wonders of Shushan, thanks to Brother Li's help. Ning Yan said kindly. He didn't have a deep friendship with Li Jianqi, but he happened to kill Meng Huan when Li Jianqi was bullied.
But Li Jianqi's senses were different, in just three days, the entire Yanhuang Domain was talking about Ning Yan's name, and there was no doubt that he was pushed to the god position of the first person with talent in the Yanhuang Domain for thousands of years. Although Li Jianqi is the true disciple of the Sword Pavilion of the Nine Heavens Sect, he is still too far behind Ning Yan, and such a man of the hour can talk to him so calmly without arrogance, which makes Li Jianqi a little surprised.
For a moment, it was difficult for him to reconcile the impression of the ruthless young swordsman in the ruins with the slender young man in front of him with a smile like morning light.
Li Jianqi hurriedly said: "Little Brother Ning is willing to come to Shushan, we naturally welcome it." Then he lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "It's just that Li's generation in the Sword Pavilion is too young, and the elders are stubborn and rigid, and Brother Ning wants to forge a sword, and he has to go through all the procedures." ”
"Naturally, I will follow the rules of the Sword Pavilion. Ning Yan said casually, but found that Li Jianqi's eyes were full of apologies, and he couldn't help but feel slightly strange and asked, "Is there any problem?"
Li Jianqi sighed and explained to Ning Yan: "Little Brother Ning doesn't know, my Shushan Sword Pavilion's sword-casting technique is second to none in the Yanhuang Domain, but the only one who can really cast a medium-grade magic sword is Elder Fengtian. ”
Ning Yan nodded, the higher the grade of the sword, the higher the level of his comprehension of the Dao Law of Heaven and Earth, and the higher the cultivation realm required. Li Jianqi continued: "My Sword Pavilion has been established for thousands of years, and there has never been a position of pavilion master, and there are always only seven Elders of Fengtian, known as the Seven Swords of Shushan, which have been passed down from generation to generation. The seven of them were the elders and youngsters of the line, and then each received an apprentice to inherit the mantle, and I was the latest in the entry to the True Tradition, but I was a disciple of the Great Elder. ”
"Master's sword-forging skills are the highest among the contemporary Seven Swords, but at the same time, he is also the most demanding for sword seekers. Speaking of this, Li Jianqi couldn't help but shake his head, "In fact, in the hundred years that Master has been cultivating, he has never forged a sword for outsiders. ”
Ning Yan didn't speak, he already understood what Li Jianqi meant inconveniently, although his master had always claimed to cast swords for destined people, but all the "destined people" who came to ask for swords were made difficult and became unfortunate passers-by.
This is not difficult to understand, sword cultivators are arrogant and arrogant, and they are unwilling to be driven by others, Li Jianqi's master is probably not willing to cast swords for outsiders, so the rules for seeking swords are set extremely perverted.
But he didn't care, and smiled at Li Jianqi: "But when Lingshi set up this set of rules, he didn't think that there was still a person like me in this world. ”
He said this as a matter of course, without the slightest hint of pride on his face, but undoubtedly with great confidence. However, Li Jianqi's expression of still smiling bitterly finally made Ning Yan feel a little dignified.
"Master's rule is that those who seek swords do not wear weapons, and step through the Shu Road to the Sword Pavilion. ”
Ning Yan looked up at the dilapidated plank road, then lowered his head and smiled slightly, gently raised his foot and took a step up.
At this moment, an awe-inspiring sword light swept out from Li Jianqi's hand, which had been hanging low, and the chill slashed the richest and warmest spring in the March of Shudi.
......
......
This is Li Jianqi's Li Yijian, a sword cut out, and the fast word takes the lead.
This is a sword that is extremely fast in the realm of seizing the sky.
In the moment when the sword light crossed, a trace of tender green grass clippings swirled and rose from the ground, and the white and light poplar catkins first moved closer to the sword and then were torn apart by the sword wind, and a touch of black clothes flew up, gently brushing the tip of the sword, the blade of the sword, and the sword blade.
In this short and unguarded moment, Ning Yan showed an incredible way of coping, as Li Jianqi's sword went, his body bent inch by inch, his muscles tensed and his skin contracted inward, like a swimming ichthyosaurus or even a fluctuating water pattern, his body shook out just to avoid the arc of the sword qi, and immediately returned to his original posture after Li Jianqi's sword passed, his sword just gently slid over the corner of Ning Yan's clothes.
Li Jianqi's eyes showed surprise and admiration, but he didn't hesitate to dodge and retreat upward, this foot infused with true qi and borrowed strength on the plank road, directly stepping on several nearby planks into flying pieces, leaving a long gap on the plank road.
Ning Yan stood on the next wooden plank in the air, smiling, and his eyes were unwavering.
"What a beautiful dodge. Li Jianqi praised from afar, "The prediction of sword qi and the control of the body have been achieved to the extreme, and Little Brother Ning has also minored in the way of forging the body, right?"
The essence of forging the body is the improvement of the cultivator's control over his own body, whether it is the vajra forging body with infinite strength and stable defense, or the quenching blood of gods and demons with amazing recovery power, it is the highest realm.
The blood quenching of gods and demons is based on blood and vitality, and the ubiquity of blood vessels in the human body makes the control of the body of the blood quenching and forging body subtle.
It had only been twenty days since Ning Yan began to practice blood quenching and forging his body, but the accuracy of his body force had been improved by a notch, but this initial realm was still not enough for Ning Yan to avoid Li Jianqi's violent attack, and another advantage that Ning Yan relied on was the prediction of this sword.
In fact, from the time Li Jianqi said the rules, Ning Yan was already on guard in his heart. For Tongtian Realm cultivators, the difficulty of simply walking through the Shu Road is just like a mortal crossing a single-plank bridge, and the possibility of an accident is extremely small, but since Li Jianqi said that no one has ever passed this test, there must be a trick in it.
Therefore, this sword was already expected for Ning Yan.
And Ning Yan first had to know the trajectory that the sword qi was going to pass through before he could control his body to dodge. In this link, Ning Yan perfectly judged the castration of Li Jianqi's sword with his experience of practicing swords for more than ten years, Zhou Tianyi's calculations, and the monitoring of a trace of divine sense, and easily turned around to avoid it without wasting any true qi.
Ning Yan glanced at the empty plank road in front of him, and smiled at Li Jianqi: "Brother Li won't want to stop me with this trick, right?"
"I'm still self-aware. I didn't even think I'd be able to stop you. Li Jianqi laughed at himself, "Master's rules can't be broken, I must do my best to consume your physical strength, but I think what I can consume is just a drop in the bucket, I should learn two tricks with Little Brother Ning, let me understand the gap between me and the first person in the Yanhuang Domain to talk about self-encouragement." ”
Perhaps the scene of Ning Yan slaughtering the Yin Yang Stream shocked Li Jianqi too much, so that when he faced Ning Yan, his posture was always very low.
Ning Yan smiled lightly, but he would not be slackened by his words, his toes were a little on the plank road, and he stepped on the footwork of swimming freely in the air, flying over thirty zhang in one step, crossing the plank road with broken planks, and appearing directly in front of Li Jianqi!
Li Jianqi raised his sword and slashed. The sword is like the wind, regardless of it, only a fast word!
Buzz –
With a clear sound, Li Jianqi's sword froze in the air, and Ning Yan's fingers flicked briskly on the side of the middle of the sword body.
It's like striking the seven inches of a snake, or the Adam's apple of an eagle.
The sword shook, and then drooped.
Defeated without any suspense, Li Jianqi did not have any frustration, he had already seen the situation where Ning Yan slashed the Heavenly Realm Meng Huan with a broken sword waist, and he couldn't stop Ning Yan by himself alone who seized the Heaven Realm.
But he was amazed at the way Ning Yan chose to make a move. This hand flicked his fingers and intercepted the sword, hitting Li Jianqi's true qi at the most difficult point of Li Jianqi's true qi with the thinnest yin and yang true qi, and the yin and yang poured and repulsed and immediately interrupted Li Jianqi's sword momentum, and the true qi collapsed and devoured itself, so that it was difficult to send a second sword for a while.
Unless every detail of his sword movement was extremely clearly displayed in front of Ning Yan's eyes, the weakness in it would be easily pierced. With this eyesight alone, it can be imagined that Ning Yan's understanding of swordsmanship is thorough, and he has already seen fire.
Ning Yan chose to deal with it in this way is undoubtedly wise, since the Sword Pavilion's requirement for sword seekers is "fate", generally speaking, it is pleasing to the eye, Ning Yan will not hide his clumsiness, the more he shows his achievements in the way of the sword, the more likely he is to get the blue eyes of the elders of the Sword Pavilion.
Li Jianqi took the sword back into the Sumeru Stone and smiled: "Li is willing to bow down." ”
Ning Yan smiled, "Brother Li's physique is special, he was born with a sword spine, and his talent has not yet been brought into play. In the future, the sword spine will awaken, and the path of cultivation will inevitably be refined. ”
Li Jianqi touched his back and smiled a little bitterly: "The sword spine is too rigid and easy to break, my qualifications are mediocre, and I have lost the sharpness of the sword spine, and it is still unknown whether I can awaken." ”
Ning Yan said: "Brother Li, don't be arrogant, in addition to the reason for cultivation, Brother Li's swordsmanship is also outstanding, but if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, and the lack of change is why I see through the weakness." When Brother Li can staggered in a sword, slow and slow, slow and urgent, the swordsmanship will be perfected, and the sword spine can also awaken and shine. ”
With his eyesight, it is not difficult to see the route taken by the Great Elder, and the control of the sword speed is of course not limited to fast, but it is only Li Jianqi's realm that is not yet yet, so he will take one of them first and stimulate the sword spine with extreme speed.
Li Jianqi nodded, and then said to Ning Yan: "The Shu Road is full of twists and turns, nine hundred and ninety miles of detours, my cultivation is the lowest, so I stay at the starting point, and my six senior brothers above have practiced for decades, but they are not as weak as me." If Little Brother Ning wants to get through this road, I'm afraid he has to plan a surprise move in advance. ”
Ning Yan thanked him, and when he was a little lighter on the plank road, he was like a flying leaf riding the wind, striding upward.
Li Jianqi looked at Ning Yan's back, and restrained the envy in his heart, even if he didn't have Ning Yan's talent, he shouldn't be buried with a sword spine. He subconsciously looked up at the towering Ten Thousand Shu Mountains, and seven eyes fell on him, but he couldn't detect it.
"The boy's hand is quite good. Above the Sword Pavilion, an old man with long eyebrows brushed his beard. With this flick, he actually put the two strands of eyebrows and beard together in his hand, which looked quite funny.
Another elder beside him smiled and said, "Fourth, you really can't hold your breath, this is just one right move, how many shades can you see?"
The old man with long eyebrows glared and said, "I'm just talking about things, think about it, when you go to the Heavenly Realm, can you intercept the sword of the peak of the sky with one finger?"
Of course, the elder would not answer, and turned his head to look at the old man sitting cross-legged, "Senior brother, what do you think of this?"
Great Elder Li Changxi always closed his eyes and recuperated, and he didn't open his eyes at all to see the battle between Ning Yan and Li Jianqi. At this time, when he was asked by his junior brother, he spit out lightly: "It's just fancy." ”
Ning Yan didn't know that what was waiting for him on the Sword Pavilion was such a harsh and arrogant old man, he was speeding on the steep Shu Road, and after a few breaths, he squinted slightly, and the figure of the second roadblock was not far ahead.
