Chapter 16: The Gift

When Xiao Wu came back, Xuan Qing was already waiting at the gate of Zhuque Palace.

This time, his goal is very clear, take out such a heavy gift as a rejuvenating leopard, Mrs. Zhu should not refuse again.

Xiao Wu knocked on the knocker, and when Xiao Tong came out to see that it was them, his face changed, and he said, "Please go back, two of you." ”

Then close the door.

Xiao Wu stepped forward, clasped the door panel with one hand, and said hurriedly: "Why? ”

"The palace master is not a guest. ”

The little boy said coldly, and as he spoke, he shook off Xiao Wu's hand and was about to close the door.

Looking at the door slowly closing, Xuan Qing slammed the door open, and the startled boy took a few steps back.

Shouted: "Can't break in, you'll die......"

Xuan Qing didn't care, strode into the inner courtyard, and went straight to the inner hall.

The little boy chased after him for a while, but Xuanqing's feet were very good, and the little boy couldn't stop him at all when he trotted all the way, and watched him break into the inner hall.

Xuan Qing stood in front of the door of the inner hall, looked in, and saw Mrs. Zhu sitting in front of the mirror, with black hair scattered on her shoulders, holding a peach wood comb in her hand, combing it unhurriedly, black hair wrapped around her fingers, and the person in the mirror was a little more charming for no reason.

"Who?" asked Mrs. Zhu softly without looking back.

Xuanqing was stunned at this time, and it was rumored in the rivers and lakes that Mrs. Zhu was clearly a man, why was she dressed as a woman, and her posture was even less masculine than half of a man.

I couldn't figure it out in my heart, so I was stunned at the door and didn't answer.

Not long after, the little boy who caught up with him was also standing at the door.

Mrs. Zhu didn't answer for a long time, then she turned around and saw Xiao Tong and two strangers standing at the door, her face changed suddenly, and she hurriedly pulled a white veil to cover her cheeks.

Come to think of it, he doesn't want outsiders to see such a bewitching face.

At this time, Mrs. Zhu's snow-white face was swollen with purple skin, and she swept the tea cup off the table.

"Who told you to bring outsiders in!"

Xiao Tong knelt on the ground with weak legs: "The palace master spares his life! These two people broke in hard, and the little one can't stop it......"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhu moved her gaze to Xuan Qing's face and said angrily: "Boy, are you tired of living?"

Zhu Lao's eyes suddenly turned red, and one palm stretched out, and after a while, a red light ball appeared in his palm, and it was a blow to Xuan Qing!

"Great Buddha Seal!"

The red qi wave rolled in, and Xuan Qing's body leaned, and he took a few steps backwards before barely avoiding it. I only heard a loud bang, and the palm hit the door panel on his side, and the door panel instantly shattered into powder and spread out.

"It's dangerous!"

I have heard for a long time that Mrs. Zhu has cultivated a palm technique, and her palm power is extremely arrogant. Today, it seems that it is true.

Mrs. Zhu's palm missed, and she was about to strike out again, Xuan Qing hurriedly shouted:

"Wait!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhu was stunned by the words, and her palms froze in mid-air, looking at him in surprise.

"Under no offense, it is specially for the gift. ”

"Gifts?"

Mrs. Zhu's eyes lit up, she took her palm, and looked at Xuan Qing with burning eyes.

Xuan Qing hurriedly took out the jade box at this time, opened the lid, and presented it to Mrs. Zhu. Mrs. Zhu's eyes swept over, and she saw that it was a black and white heart, and she was overjoyed:

"Rejuvenate the heart of the leopard!"

The heart is different from that of ordinary beasts, and the heart is divided into black and white. No wonder Mrs. Zhu can recognize it at a glance.

"This gift can be called the palace master's heart?" asked Xuan Qing.

Mrs. Zhu coughed dryly twice, and did not speak immediately, but paused and looked into the distance.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

Seeing that Mrs. Zhu calmed down her anger a little, Xuan Qing said:

"The younger generation took this as a gift and begged the palace master to accept me as an apprentice. ”

Mrs. Zhu's expression moved slightly, swept the fresh heart again, and then said:

"You killed this?"

"Hmm. Xuan Qing nodded.

Mrs. Zhu looked at Xuan Qing and saw that he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but there was a hint of old and spicy in his eyes.

"You give me this thing, so what should your companions think?" Mrs. Zhu said lightly, he needs this rejuvenating leopard very much, but if he provokes the sect because of this, then he would rather die than ask for it.

Xuan Qing smiled: "The Huanyan Leopard was killed by me alone, and I can send it to whoever I want." ”

Mrs. Zhu was even more surprised, and her eyes couldn't help shrinking: with her own strength, killing a spirit beast like Huanyan Leopard, this person is definitely not a thing in the pool.

"Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and sure enough, it's right. ”

Mrs. Zhu said lightly:

"I hate taking apprentices the most in my life, but I can guide you to your swordsmanship. ”

Xuan Qing smiled bitterly, it was enough to give instructions, and he really didn't care if he accepted the apprentices or not.

"Thank you, Palace Master. ”

Immediately presented the jade box, said a few polite words, and withdrew.

Xiao Tong arranged a room for him and Xiao Wu, and the two of them stayed.

......

The night in the Zhu Palace is very quiet.

Xuan Qing practiced the "Thirteen Styles of Phantom Snow" in the courtyard.

Flashing and moving, the sword wind wrapped around the blades and fell, as the sword formed an air flow, the air flow became larger and larger, as the sword body hit forward, only to hear a loud bang, a stone more than two people high was hit, and the gravel collapsed to the ground in an instant.

Xuan Qing didn't stop.

The sword wind shook the little black scalp, and he couldn't help but glance at it, and then sighed:

"No wonder the master is so powerful, such a crazy practice of entering the demon is too hard, I can't stand it......"

The black bird smacked his lips and saw that Xuanqing was already sweating, but he still didn't stop.

Feeling sleepy, he yawned, leaned against the tree, and snorted into sleep.

Day 2.

Xuanqing was taken to the martial arts training ground, and when Mrs. Zhu arrived, her complexion was much better, her face was no longer pale, and the heart of the rejuvenating leopard was really powerful.

"Practice a few tricks, I'll see. Mrs. Zhu stood with her hands in her hands.

Xuanqing took the sword, flew down, and struck the Phantom Snow Thirteen Styles with a brush.

Mrs. Zhu looked at it in her eyes and shook her head slightly:

"Although you have cultivated to the fourth level of condensation, the life span of a mortal is not more than 100, if you continue like this, you should have died a long time ago before you become successful......

Xuan Qing agreed in his heart, if he wanted to make a breakthrough in his lifetime, he simply relied on penance day and night. No, it doesn't.

"You have to be strong enough, the world speaks with your fists. ”

Mrs. Zhu said it very lightly, but every word and sentence was imprinted in Xuanqing's heart.

"Your swordsmanship is unusually strong, but you lack softness, as the saying goes, water is the source of all things, not because of toughness, but because of softness.

If you want to kill with a critical blow, you must practice the tenacity to drip through stones. ”

Xuan Qing listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

"Three hundred leaps a day, wrists and ankles, a thousand times a day. ”

Dropping the words, he walked away.

At this time, it was winter, the cold wind was biting, Xuan Qing stood in the cold wind, and his robe was blown hunting.

Xuanqing flipped the dantian and first made three hundred leaps, and at this time, he was already sweating profusely. But he refused to slack off, and practiced the flipping of his wrists and ankles until he practiced a thousand times before finally stopping.

At this time, the sun was setting, and I suddenly felt tired, so I picked up my sword and left the martial arts training ground.

In the blink of an eye, more than 20 days have passed.

On this day, Xiao Wu came to Xuan Qing: "Master, eat!"

Xuan Qing flipped his wrist and said, "Wait until the last one is done." ”

Xiao Wu pouted: "Mrs. Zhu didn't look at you again, and he didn't know if there was one less." ”

"Practicing is your own business. Between victory and defeat, it often depends on this drop. ”

After speaking, the last flip was also done, took the towel handed by Xiaowu, wiped the sweat, and then left.

After more than 20 days of tempering, his muscles and bones have been strengthened a lot, and his swordsmanship has improved a lot.

It was getting closer and closer to the opening of the Qingyang Sect, and on this day, Xuan Qing decided to resign to the Zhu Palace Master.

When I came to the dormitory, I was choked by the smell of medicine from afar, and the room was foggy, and there were faint figures shaking.

A young boy walked out with a medicine bowl.

"What about the palace master?" asked Xuan Qing as he grabbed the little boy.

The little boy said timidly: "The palace master is sick, and there is one less purple lingzhi in his medicine, but in the entire Zhuque Palace, no one has the ability to take ......."

He said and glanced inward, "The palace master has a terrible headache, and he has broken the legs of two servants. ”

"--Purple Spirit Grass, on the spire of the Forgetting Worries Tower, you need to pass through a white peak array, and it is extremely dangerous......"

"I'll fetch it. Xuan Qing said decisively. How can I say that this Mrs. Zhu pointed out that he was half a month, and she wanted to go for him because of this kindness.

"Really, then our palace master has been saved......

After the boy finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

Xuanqing called Xiaowu to go out.

"Why did you agree?" Xiao Wu complained as soon as he came out of the Zhuque Palace.

"That formation is too powerful, and there are still enchantments around, are you sure?"

"How do you know if you don't try?" Xuan Qing said lightly, but his footsteps did not stop.

Now, he is already at the fourth level of Qi Condensation, and he has practiced the "Xuanming Exercises", which is very different from before, even if there is a loss of true qi, I believe that he can replenish it.

Xuan Qing is not afraid, as the saying goes, the artist is bold, this is the truth.

Seeing that the master was confident, Xiao Wu suddenly became happy:

"The master wants to try his current physical fitness, right?"

"Not bad. Xuan Qing affirmed.

This sentence said to his heart, taking purple lingzhi is secondary, and a trial is the real purpose.

Along the way, there are often people who recognize Xuan Yi, after all, the place of Bishan County is not big, and a monk who dares to go deep into the Phantom Snow Mountain and kill the Huanyan Leopard is already a hundred years old when it comes to this courage.

Xuan Qing passed through the adoring eyes of everyone and came directly to the Tower of Forgetting Worries.

From a distance, the tower is shaped like bamboo shoots, thin and straight, like a pillar of optimus, straight into the sky. On the hexagonal cornice, golden bells are hung, and with the crisp sound of the wind, the surrounding purple enchantment is uncertain.

Xiao Wu poked out his index finger, touched it lightly, and there was a loud bang, and the next moment it was bounced out two feet away.

After a while, Xiao Wu got up in embarrassment and shook his head: "I can't get in." It's up to you, master. ”

Xuanqing was calm, rolled the dantian, swept his body, and the sword in his hand slashed straight down.

After a while, I saw a flash of purple light, and the enchantment was opened, and Xuan Qing raised his foot and jumped in, and easily stepped in.

The Sanssouci Tower is thirty-three stories high, and Xuanqing climbs the stairs step by step. With every step he took, he felt that his true qi was dissipating, and he felt more and more powerless, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

More than three hours later, Xuan Qing finally reached the thirty-third layer, and a light purple Ganoderma lucidum grass appeared in the field of vision, and the surroundings glowed with a dull luster.

The formation should be near the Ganoderma lucidum grass.

Xuan Qing took a breath, clenched his sword, and approached the purple lingzhi.

Whoosh!

As soon as he took a step, thousands of rays of light flickered, turning into arrows of light and shooting down.

Xuanqing reversed and moved, dodging those lightsabers, and those light arrows bounced out, and now Xuanqing's body was very flexible, and between reversing and moving, he stabbed the long sword into the eye of the formation.

The density of the light arrows suddenly decreased, and after a loud bang, the formation collapsed violently. Xuan Qing walked over slowly, picked the purple lingzhi, put it in the mustard ring, and left quickly.

After a while, Xuan Qing broke out of the barrier. Xiao Wu hurriedly greeted him.

"Got it?"

Xuan Qing nodded, and the two of them quickly left with the purple lingzhi.

When he returned to the Vermilion Bird Palace and handed the purple lingzhi to Mrs. Zhu, he sighed slightly:

"The old man owes you a favor again......"

Mrs. Zhu's least favorite thing in her life is to owe favors, I saw him struggling to get up, sitting cross-legged, and pointing his index finger at Xuanqing's head, only to see a flash of light, Xuanqing's body was shocked, and a book of law decisions appeared in his mind.

Mrs. Zhu said slowly:

"This is the mantra of the Buddha's rubbing, and now it is passed on to you, and it can be regarded as returning your favor. ”

Xuan Qing didn't know the benefits of this. Since it is Mrs. Zhu's, it will not be bad, so I immediately thanked her.

"Thank you palace master, the younger generation will say goodbye. I went to the Qingyang Sect. ”

Mrs. Zhu nodded.

The two of them left the Zhuque Palace and went straight to the Qingyang Sect.
