Three days later, everyone finally came out of the fog. Looking back at the mountains and mountains in the haze behind him, and then looking at the second senior brother and others who were walking the same way beside him, Chenguang couldn't help but sigh, he had finally found his way home after being away from home for so long.

The group of dozens of people walked along a river for another day, the terrain was already very flat, and a town appeared on the horizon in front of them.

According to Xu Xun, the town, called Guaira, is the easternmost starting point of the Horseshoe Road and an important trade market in Vature, where the eighth junior brother Peng Mu and two other fellow Daoists should be waiting at this moment.

Guairah is more than a star and a half bigger than Wangre, to be exact, it should be several times larger than Wangrecheng, but the permanent population here is actually not much, only more than 10,000, accounting for only one-third of the total population of the city, and more are merchants from all over the world. And the crowd is naturally easy to messy, therefore, Vature also sent more than a thousand soldiers to camp here, Chenguang and his party came to the city gate, and were checked by the soldiers guarding the city. It is said that it is an investigation, but in fact it is just a trick by the soldiers defending the city to squeeze some oil and water from the merchants. Jacktu was well acquainted with this, and found some advantages from the leading soldiers, and soon entered the city.

According to him, Guairah resembles a big cross, and the center is the main city, and there is a moat surrounding the main city, where important facilities such as military camps and city halls are located, and some of the dignitaries and nobles in the city live in it. There are four markets surrounding the main city, which Guairah has divided into four markets for ease of management: the agricultural market to the north, the mineral market to the east, the livestock market to the south, and the grocery market to the west.

After Xu Xun entered the city, he released the grass kite to contact Peng Mu, and soon Peng Mu sent a reply, and he and two colleagues were waiting in a hotel in the west grocery market.

Although Chenguang and Peng Mu already knew that the other party was about to appear, after actually meeting, the two couldn't help but feel ecstasy. Because the two are of the same age, the entry time is also similar, they are often together for ordinary practice and frolic, and they have been like biological siblings for more than ten years, and they are naturally very close to each other after a long absence.

Peng Mu is slender and sturdy, but unlike Xu Xun and Chenguang, he majored in the way of earth solidification, and a pair of iron palms were his weapons. The other two fellow Daoists who were waiting here with Peng Mu were the disciples of the Tianshan Imperial Sword Sect, one was the current head of the Tianshan Imperial Sword Sect, the nameless disciple of the closed disciple, named Zeng Qiang, and the other was Zeng Qiang's younger brother, Zeng Tao, who was the third apprentice of the deputy head of the Sword Shadow. The two of them came to practice with the Tiexiong Mountain people this time.

Zeng Qiang, Zeng Tao brothers and Chenguang are of the same age, Zeng Qiang has a baby face, Zeng Tao is also honest and polite, and everyone quickly became acquainted, talking and laughing. But then there was another thing that made everyone difficult.

It turns out that the hotel in the mainland of Nanchanaburi is almost the same, and the entire hotel is only about a dozen rooms, which cannot accommodate so many people at all.

Seeing that the Chenguang brothers were very happy together, he proposed that he and his men find another inn, anyway, they would not stay here for long in Guaira, and they would have to set off in a day or two at most, and everyone would be on the road at the same time. When the people saw that he was earnest, they agreed.

After dinner, Guo Xinzhu was very surprised not to follow Chenguang, and ran to entangle Zeng Qiang and Zeng Tao brothers, although Chenguang was a little curious, but it was not good to ask more, and it happened that he could chat with Xu Xun and Peng Mu for a while.

The three senior brothers talked about their recent experiences, and Xu Xun sighed: "In the past, when I was in Xingyue Valley, the master always said that cultivation and cultivation were not the same thing, and I didn't understand why at that time, but now I have been running around these continents for a long time before I understand the meaning. ”

Peng Mu also nodded and said: "Yes, in the past, I didn't know what my cultivation was, but when I encountered a monster raid for the first time, I was in a hurry for a while, and I was dealing with it indiscriminately. If it were to be put to this point, it would be a bitter thing for that monster. ”

Chenguang said: "It seems that you have benefited a lot from this trip, no, I want to see how much progress you have, let's practice." ”

Peng Mu scratched his head and said: "Seventh brother, you came out of the mountain earlier than me, and you are accompanied by many masters along the way, you must be fast, I don't dare to compare with you." ”

Chenguang said with a smile: "I got the Demon Clan's Sheep Horn predecessors to teach the Mixed Yuan Lock, and the Demon Ancestor gave me this golden stick, but my own cultivation has not grown at all, I'm afraid I am already a lot behind you." Let's not talk nonsense, let's practice first. ”

Peng Mu said: "That's good, but you have to be merciful." ”

Chenguang hurriedly got up and said: "Okay, I am not proficient in the mixed yuan lock, I don't need it, I haven't been able to grasp this golden stick properly, I'm afraid I will hurt the wood, I have the right to borrow the second senior brother's sword, I don't know if the second senior brother is willing?"

Xu Xun smiled and said: "Of course this is possible, but you have to be careful, although Mu is empty-handed against the enemy, his hands are not to be looked down upon." Morning Light agreed.

The three of them walked out of the room and into the backyard of the inn. It is said to be a backyard, but in fact, this inn was built at a corner in the west district, and the inn and the corner of the city wall enclosed a triangular open space. Xu Xun made a judgment with great interest, and Chenguang and Peng Mu hugged their fists, and it began.

Because Chenguang has always practiced swordsmanship in the master's sect, he knew that Peng Mu did not cultivate the blade, so as soon as he came up, he cast the three-talent sword technique taught by the master, and used the sword light to widen the distance between him and Peng Mu and suppress Peng Mu's offensive. Peng Mu seemed to have expected Chenguang to have such a move, and he was not in a hurry, just stood calmly in place, and when the sword light from Chenguang came closer, he waved his left hand, like a fly, and slapped on the sword light from Chenguang, "snap", the sword light was slapped by his palm and flew out, hitting the city wall next to him, and "fluttering" a small gap.

Chenguang was shocked when he saw Peng Mu accepting the call like this, but he didn't expect that Mu hadn't seen him for more than a year, and his skills were so diligent, he didn't dare to be careless in his heart, and he fought with twelve points of spirit. He ran the Dao Yun to the sword body, brushed the three swords, and the three sword tricks were divided into upper, middle and lower three ways to pounce on Peng Mu, Peng Mu then put on a posture of response, and said loudly: "Seventh brother is like practicing his hands, be careful that I have to make a move." ”

As soon as the words fell, Peng Mu's right hand was raised high, and he quickly slapped it, and a palm of "bang" slammed on the ground, stirring up a large cloud of smoke and dust, and all of a sudden, the entire triangular clearing was shrouded in smoke and dust, and three sword lights were submerged in the smoke and dust, like a stone sinking into the sea. Chenguang intuitively felt bad, and hurriedly rose against the wind, who knew that as soon as he came out of the smoke and dust, Peng Mu's big palms were already waiting in mid-air, Chenguang didn't have time to dodge, and quickly raised the waning moon in his left hand to resist, Peng Mu slammed his palm on the waning moon, Chenguang only felt a surge in his chest, and the waning moon almost couldn't hold it, and was bombarded back into the smoke and dust.

As soon as he landed, Chenguang understood that Peng Mu would definitely pursue, and immediately turned over and rolled to the side, sure enough, where the morning light was just now in the smoke and dust, there was a "bang" sound, and the sand splashed everywhere, and you didn't need to look to know that it was Peng Mu chasing Chenguang's palm that hit the ground.

Chenguang's chest was still churning at this time, and he hurriedly took advantage of this opportunity to try to calm his internal breath, but unexpectedly, a gust of wind hit behind him, and Chenguang didn't have time to think about it, so he turned around and handed out a sword, but saw a big hand stretched out in the smoke and dust, "pop" Hold the sword body, followed by Peng Mu's other palm and handed it over, the sword in Chenguang's hand was made by Peng Mu, and he had to raise the waning moon to resist, Peng Mu's palm slapped on the waning moon, but he couldn't hear any sound, but Chenguang only felt that a huge force was coming like waves, and the endless strength pushed Chenguang to "kick and kick" and retreated seven steps, the sword in his hand had already been taken away by Peng Mu, Chenguang finally stood up, and the breath in his chest couldn't help rolling, and there was something unreal in front of him.

Over there, Peng Mu didn't make another move, and when the smoke and dust fell, Chenguang saw Peng Mu standing opposite with a blank face, holding Xu Xun's sword in his left hand, and his right hand was still split with a palm, and he was stunned in place.

Xu Xun clapped and walked towards the two of them, and said: "Wonderful, the eighth junior brother skillfully uses the terrain to pursue in a row, and the seventh junior brother is witty and adaptable, although it is slightly inferior, but the seventh junior brother still has a lot of reserved skills, if it is used, it will definitely be more exciting." ”

Peng Mu held the sword and said with some cowardice: "Seventh Brother has reservations as soon as he makes a move, I have already used nine successes to win half a move by luck......

Chenguang shook his head and said, "I have done my best, but I am not your opponent." ”

Peng Mu hurriedly said: "Where, because I am familiar with Seventh Brother's routines, I can take the lead." Seventh brother, you are the first of our brothers to cultivate the levitation technique. ”

Chenguang said: "Now all the senior brothers must have learned the levitation technique, but I can't even take the wood in your palm." ”

Peng Mu shook his head and said: "How can our senior brothers have the qualifications of the seventh brother, and now only the fourth sister Zhen Jing and the ninth brother Wei Wei have learned the trick of resisting the wind, and our other senior brothers have not even learned the levitation technique well." And the master is not famous for his swordsmanship, but for his earth-solid Dao method, and I have been practicing the earth-solid path method with the master, so that I can improve a little......"

He was about to say more, but Xu Xun shook his head at him, and then said to Chenguang: "Seventh Senior Brother, the master once taught, the way of cultivation, in addition to cultivation, practice is also equally important. Seventh Senior Brother, although you have been walking for more than a year, and you have also made moves with many masters, you rarely meet opponents with the same strength as you, and your cultivation is either a quick victory or a quick defeat, of course, it is difficult to improve. And our senior brothers, along with the master, have fought against many cultivators of equal strength, and we dare not say how much improvement in cultivation there is, but the experience of fighting against the enemy is much richer. Just now, the wood made full use of the advantages of the terrain, as well as your heart to light the enemy, so he was able to defeat you in a few moves, but you can't lose your fighting spirit because of this, seventh junior brother. ”

Chenguang nodded and said, "What the second senior brother said is that all the senior brothers are role models for me to follow, and I have to work harder." ”

Xu Xun smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Swordsmanship cultivation is indeed not our master's strong point, and the master himself often says this to us. You and I are both practicing swordsmanship, and now there are two swordsmanship cultivators beside us, so you can ask them for a lesson or two. ”

Chenguang said: "The second senior brother is talking about the two senior brothers of the Tianshan Imperial Sword Sect?"

Xu Xun nodded and said: "Exactly, I have also studied with them, and I really admire their swordsmanship cultivation, especially the true sword skills they cultivate, which is amazing." ”

"What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

"The true trick of the sword is the famous skill of the Tianshan Sword Gate, which is to control the sword with the rhyme of the Dao, so that it can fight the enemy on its own, and when it reaches the advanced stage, it can also fly the sword. ”

Chenguang was surprised: "The sword is volleying against the enemy, is Xinzhu ...... her?"

Seeing that he was thoughtful, Xu Xun beckoned Peng Mu over, and the three of them went back to the room.

Early the next morning, Chenguang met Guo Xinzhu in the inn lobby, and Guo Xinzhu said with a smile: "I heard that you were defeated by your junior brother yesterday?"

Chenguang Qi said: "How do you know?"

Guo Xinzhu chuckled: "Be careful, maybe I can defeat you one day." ”

Chenguang also smiled: "That's good, I won't pester you if I lose." ”

When Xinzhu heard this, he immediately said solemnly: "The eldest husband can't help but be aggressive, if you can't even beat me as a woman, how can you go to the Southern Continent to save people." ”

Seeing that she suddenly became serious, Chenguang hurriedly said, "I'm talking about fun, in fact, I've been thinking about how I should improve my cultivation last night." ”

The two of them were talking, and Xu Xun next to him walked over, heard Chenguang's words, and said, "Seventh Senior Brother, if you want to improve your cultivation, you might as well start with the golden stick in your hand." ”

Chenguang hurriedly asked why, Xu Xun said: "If I am not mistaken, the golden stick in your hand is an ancient treasure, and I am afraid it is not much worse than the master's Yin Yang Treasure Mirror." Moreover, this golden stick belongs to gold, Seventh Senior Brother, you are a genius who cultivates the method of golden qi, if you can understand the essence of the way of golden qi from this golden stick, your cultivation will definitely be able to advance by leaps and bounds. ”

Chenguang was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately pestered Professor Xu Xun to be whimsy. The three of them found a table and sat down, and were about to chat while eating, when the door of the inn was pushed open, and a person rushed in and went straight to the table of the three, and whispered to Xu Xun: "It's a big deal, we have to leave here quickly!"
