Chapter 440: Where Did the Sword Spirit Go?
I woke up in the early morning of the next day, finished my morning class, and continued to go west, because Ouyang Xun swore after reading the map:
"We have deviated from our original direction, and the wisest way to get back to the Cambodia Mountains as quickly as possible is to go west for 20,000 miles and then continue northwest. β
Seeing the opportunity, Xingliuyun raised the bar and teased lightly:
"Why can't you just deviate a little bit from the angle and make up for the 20,000 miles, that is the fastest. β
Yin Nuo couldn't help nodding, he actually felt that what Xingliuyun said was very reasonable, indeed, from a mathematical point of view, Xingliuyun said a good point, but it was obviously very unreliable in combination with the actual situation.
I saw Ouyang Xun glance at Xingliuyun contemptuously, and said coldly:
"How much you deviate, can you be sure? Why don't you lead the way, and we'll all follow you?
Hongxiang couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed out loud, looking at Xingliuyun's eyes, full of pity.
Xingliuyun is the master who can stand this kind of anger, but he gritted his teeth and brewed for a long time, and he didn't say "I can be sure", so he could only vent his anger at the sand on the ground, take a step and kick, and drag his tail behind the whole team.
According to Ouyang Xun's guidance, seven days later, the group and others came to the periphery of the Binyang Desert, and the alien beasts here were no longer dangerous to them, so they re-agriculturalized the main body and flew to the northwest with Xiao Cong and his party.
Flying all the way out of the desert near the sun, finally seeing the green mountains and green waters, hearing the birds, insects, and smelling the fragrant flowers, in the same yellow sand and the ups and downs of the sky for so long, the intuition of beauty in the heart has long been paralyzed, at this time to see the beautiful scene, it is naturally pleasing to the eye, and I feel very beautiful.
Xiao Cong kept looking down, and finally found that there was a small lake in the field of vision below, and then asked Zainong to descend to the edge of the lake, Xingliuyun asked the reason, Xiao Cong replied with a smile that he felt that this place was especially suitable for helping Sister Younu cross the Flying Sword, as soon as these words came out, not only Younu, but even Xingliuyun and Ouyang Xun were also happy.
Zainong leaned over to the ground, the landing place is only about three zhang away from the lake, all sides are full of deep forests, there are several bushes of low shrubs scattered not far away, the grass is green, the flowers are red and green, there are all kinds of small insects that cannot be named, bees and butterflies are flying among the flowers, there is a circle of fruit trees sparsely growing on the edge of the lake, red and gorgeous, yellow and clear, peach, plum, jujube, apricot, pear and persimmon...... There are almost all the things you can see, the lake is green, there is no wind, like a jade gem.
Quiet and quiet, back to the basics, just standing here for a short time, I feel that my heart is quiet.
Xiao Cong smiled and sighed:
"It's a shame that such a beautiful place could be accidentally destroyed. β
Starstream Cloud stretched out his arms and groaned and lay his head straight on the soft grass, and Hang Erlang said:
"Then wait until you have enough rest and then get busy, anyway, it's not bad for a while, it's time to enjoy it after tossing in the desert for so long. β
As he spoke, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and reveled:
"Ah, it smells so good. β
Ouyang Xun's face was slightly guarded,
"There must be strange things in the place of scenery, the scenery here is so beautiful, will there be something hidden...... Things, let's be cautious and don't offend people. β
Xiao Cong couldn't cry or laugh,
"The huge pressure of the near sun desert is not making you nervous, how can we be so unlucky, you can meet those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods everywhere, don't worry, this place is absolutely fine. β
Xingliuyun, who was lying on the grass, chuckled a few times and teased:
"You two, there are some problems with what you say, especially Xiao Cong, anyway, I think you are quite unlucky, no matter where you go, you can always meet those evil things that others can't easily touch, so you must not talk nonsense about these words, maybe you will be in the face, as for Ouyang Xun, it is indeed a bit of a frightened bird, in fact, the scenery here is really nothing, but you have been in the desert for too long, and you are used to seeing the barren and desolate, and when you see this fragrant plant and beautiful water, you will inevitably feel amazing in comparison, in the end, you have always been too carefulγ β
Xiao Cong and Ouyang Xun glanced at each other and couldn't help but sneer, Ouyang Xun said coldly:
"The pig's nose is inserted in the onion, but he is here to pretend to be a cultural person with the two of us. β
Xiao Cong casually mended the knife,
"Pretending to be so similar, I almost believed it, sir. β
Hongxiang leaned over and asked in a low voice:
"Brother, can you eat the fruit from the tree?"
Xiao Cong looked at Hongxiang's expression full of hope, couldn't help but laugh again, waved his hand and said:
"Go, go, pick more. β
Hongxiang was ordered, jumping and leaving happily.
The rest of the people took the star stream cloud as the **, sat in a circle on the soft grass, thinking back to the various things in the desert near the sun, and couldn't help sighing, but it was really in these life and death crises that Xiao Cong saw the sincerity and loyalty of these people, and what these people did, all of which made him feel very satisfied, but what he did himself, could it also make them happy and convinced? He doubted this.
It seems that it is necessary to do a small period of introspection and review.
Xiao Cong stood up, smiled, and said:
"The Endangered Sun Desert line, because Xiao Cong did not think about it, let you not only suffer too much, but also almost lost your life, Xiao Cong has a lot of uneasiness in his heart, I hereby compensate you for it, and if you encounter such things in the future, you must work together, and never act arbitrarily alone. β
"Fourth Young Master Xiao said this, I'll wait ......"
Zainong and Huo Hao hurriedly stood up, and they didn't know what to say under their helplessness, they had been trapped in the Ancient Prison of Illusion in the Valley of Forgotten Life for a long time, and they only resisted and attacked simply and numbly every day, and they had never encountered this kind of thing, maybe in their opinion, in the face of such a dangerous road, Xiao Cong could do this It was already very good.
Yin Nuo didn't say anything, just smiled, and his face had a shallow and absurd meaning.
The girl's face was also a little embarrassed, and she just wanted to say something, but she heard Ouyang Xun say in confusion:
"It should be Xingliuyun who is not thoughtful, which time is not that he is clever and stubborn, and as a result, we will suffer with him, Xiao Cong, you quickly sit down and give up the place to Xingliuyun, if he doesn't say a few words about these things, I feel embarrassed." β
When everyone heard this, except for Xingliuyun and Xiao Cong, they couldn't help laughing out loud, among them, the ghost girl laughed the most, and followed Ouyang Xun to coax Xiao Cong to sit down quickly and give up his position, Xiao Cong also wanted to laugh, but he knew that it was not the occasion and his role was a little different, so he could only cover up the past by coughing.
Xingliuyun sat up suddenly, his gaze stayed on Ouyang Xun's face for a long time as if he was about to kill, and then turned to his sister's face, but in the face of such a fierce gaze, neither of the two before nor behind was frightened, and then this guy drooped his head like a deflated ball, and after a while, he raised his head again, grinned, and said with a smile while getting up from the ground:
"Okay, you're right, Xiao Cong, you sit down first, and I'll say a few words. β
Xiao Cong knew that he didn't hold back any good farts as soon as he saw Xingliuyun, but he still sat down quietly.
"Ahem!" Xingliuyun cleared his throat, pretended to figure out the collar of the power suit he was wearing, and started his first performance of the day with a serious attitude,
"First of all, I have to admit that Young Master Ouyang is right, a few of these things are indeed because of my persistence that everyone is in trouble, you see, if I didn't insist on walking the Yang Desert, we wouldn't have entered the military tomb, and we wouldn't have gotten the weapons that we took advantage of, if I hadn't insisted on going to the temple in the center, we wouldn't have discovered the secrets there, and we wouldn't have gotten these rare insights, and our strength would not have improved so much for so long, alas, I insisted on going my own way, I acted arbitrarily, I made you stronger, I can't stand everyoneγ β
As he spoke, he bowed deeply to everyone.
Everyone present began to laugh, the girl was a little helpless, but there was a faint appreciation in her eyes when she looked at Xingliuyun, Xiao Cong couldn't help but sigh, this Xingliuyun's poor tongue and shameless ability, I am afraid that I will not be able to learn it in my life.
But this is not over, I saw Xingliuyun sigh heavily, stretched out his hand to Ouyang Xun, and said bitterly:
"Especially for Young Master Ouyang, blame me, it has caused so much trouble, created so many opportunities for him to get close to my sister, in order to protect my sister, let him put so much effort into it, alas, that's my sister, how can I push him on others? β
As he spoke, he beat his chest and stood, annoyed.
"Nebula! You ......"
The ghost girl was ashamed and angry, and her jade face was crimson.
Xingliuyun hurriedly said:
"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely protect you in the future, brother, and I will never let you be so wronged again, I promise, I promise like our father!"
As he spoke, he patted his chest and swore by stretching out three fingers to the sky and swearing.
The girl's face was even deeper crimson, biting her lip and staring at Xingliuyun's handsome face as bright as a summer flower, Xingliuyun could be regarded as giving him a dilemma this time, could she refute this? That is not a disguised admission that she voluntarily let Ouyang Xun approach, a girl's family, her face is so thin, she will definitely not be able to do it, but let Xingliuyun talk so nonsense in public, she feels very aggrieved in her heart, she is Xingliuyun's own sister, this god damns, how can she joke about her innocence so casually! It seems that no matter what you say, it will make things worse and worse, so you can only resentment in your heart.
Ouyang Xun had a stiff smile on his face, speechless for a while, he wanted to say something, but he was willing to stand up as usual and muster the courage to face Xingliuyun tit-for-tat, but he was afraid that saying the wrong thing would make the girl unhappy, the woman's heart was needled, this kind of unclear thing was getting blacker and darker, so he could only lower his head and swallow the dumb loss hard, hey, don't say it, although it is more uncomfortable when it is in his mouth, but after tasting it carefully, it feels that the taste is quite good, he has to thank Xingliuyun, at least the brother-in-law made this matter clear in front of everyone this time, In the future, he won't have to be so embarrassed when he is courteous to the girl, hehe, Seong lost his horse, and he didn't know if it was a blessing.
Everyone burst into laughter, especially Yin Nuo, who leaned back and fell back with laughter, as if this seemed to him a very interesting thing, only the two wrongdoers slowly lowered their heads, like children who had made mistakes, and they couldn't be more embarrassed.
Xiao Cong couldn't help laughing twice, fortunately, he took into account the feelings of Ouyang Xun and the ghost girl in time, and returned to the province in time, at this time, Hongxiang came back with a bag full of fruits, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but be surprised:
"What are you laughing at, what is happening, and I am happy to say it. β
None of the people answered, so Hongxiang could only sit down with interest and put the bag of fruit in the middle of the circle of people.
Xiao Cong turned his face and said to the girl:
"Sister, show me your sword again. β
The ghost girl raised her head, first glared at Xingliuyun with resentment, and then handed the ugly sword to Xiao Cong with a pout.
Xiao Cong took the sword, holding the hilt of the sword in his left hand, and gently brushing the blade of the sword with his right hand, his eyes were like cold lightning.
Everyone was silent, their eyes were all focused on Xiao Cong, and the moment his fingers slid out of the tip of the sword, Xiao Cong said:
"I didn't pay attention when I first got it, this sword, I'm afraid it was not refined by living beings, it was made by heaven and earth, because it is all biochemical of heaven and earth, so the tomb lord can't surrender to him, but can't surrender to it. β
"What about the sword spirit inside?" Xingliuyun asked busily.
Xiao Cong shook his head, as if he was answering Xingliuyun's question, and as if he was talking to himself,
"I don't know what's going on yet, it stands to reason that if the sword spirit inside is congenitally evolved, it shouldn't succumb to the descending mound, if it moves in later, then where did it go?
Xingliuyun thought about it and speculated in vain:
"Is it because he has done too much evil that he has been erased by a master. β
Xiao Cong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this,
"What do you think, how can such a powerful existence be easily erased. β
Starstream Cloud raised the bar and said:
"That's not necessarily, there are people outside the world, what can the biochemistry of heaven and earth be? In the eyes of those true immortals of the Qi Heaven Realm, what is it!"
Xiao Cong raised his eyebrows and teased,
"If the sword spirit inside is really wiped out by the true immortals, then this sword will still fall into our hands?"
The nebula rolled her eyes wide,
"There are a lot of things that go wrong, who can say clearly! Besides, there are not a few true immortals hidden in some secret areas of the Xuanzhen Realm, you must know this better than me!"
When Xiao Cong heard this, he smiled,
"Okay, what you said makes sense, you won, but the possibility of this kind of thing is too small, let's better think about it elsewhere, after all, using such an ancient sword as the life-threatening thing of Sister Younu is really too big. β
Ouyang Xun said worriedly:
"If that sword spirit is not erased, let's rashly use this sword as a life-threatening object for the ghost, then it will be a big trouble. β
Xingliuyun glanced at Ouyang Xun coldly, and said angrily:
"What the hell are you trying to say, be clear!"
Ouyang Xun swallowed and said:
"It's not that I'm cheap-tongued, have you ever thought of such a possibility, but where the strong are strong, there must be a heart that pursues perfection recklessly, the sword spirit before this, too, it is biochemical from heaven and earth, if it does not change, even if it becomes stronger, it is just a sword spirit, and it can only succumb to this sword, if one day it is subdued, there is not even basic freedom, but he is not without a choice, as long as he is willing, he can pay all his cultivation, only keep a little fire in the catastrophe to seek a disguised rebirth, although the risk is a bit high, the cost is also very large, but if it is me, I will also take a riskγ β
Xiao Cong nodded and said thoughtfully:
"That's right, if he really survives the Heavenly Tribulation, even if he only has a wisp of fire, he will definitely become a generation of powerhouses in time, and then he will be afraid that he will not be able to find this ancient sword again. β
As he spoke, he set his eyes on the ugly sword of vermilion again.
"And how likely is that?" asked the nebula, crunching its neck.
"It's small, it's small, but it's not completely none. Xiao Cong replied firmly.
Starstream Cloud scratched his head, looking a little crazy
"No, no, there's something missing, let me think, let me think about it......"
Xiao Cong and Ouyang Xun looked at each other, and they didn't know what kind of madness this guy had committed.
After a while, Xingliuyun suddenly opened up and said:
"By the way, time, you say, even if it can survive the Heavenly Tribulation and regain its cultivation to such a terrifying level, it must take a long time. β
Ouyang Xun smiled bitterly,
"You don't want your sister to race against such horrible creatures. β
Xiao Cong frowned and thought for a while, overjoyed,
"Yes, it's time! Although there is cause and effect between the sword spirit and this ancient sword, the specific connection has been completely severed, as long as Sister Younu can take this sword to cultivate to the Tongtian Realm, this sword will no longer be my sister's life-related thing, even if the sword spirit returns to retrieve the ancient sword, it will not hurt my sister in the slightest. β
"Why?" Starstream asked.
Xiao Cong patiently replied,
"The foothold of the immortal cultivator and the martial cultivator is different, the martial cultivator has always been based on himself, while the immortal cultivator is based on heaven and earth, but the strength before the Tongtian realm is still weak, and he can't reach the qualification of taking heaven and earth as the foundation, so he will condense a body of spiritual rhyme into a primordial fetus, and after the strength reaches the Tongtian realm, he will transform the primordial fetus into heaven and earth, and he will be able to achieve the foundation of heaven and earth. β
The starstream cloud is enlightened,
"That's why ordinary immortal cultivators are defeated by martial cultivators, so after reaching the Heavenly Realm, won't martial cultivators have no chance of winning against immortal cultivators!"
Xiao Cong shook his head and smiled,
"No, the great martial artist still has the ability to erase all the marks of the immortal cultivator in heaven and earth with some unique means, and if there is no special magic protection or a life-saving backhand, in fact, even if it reaches the Tongtian Realm, the immortal cultivator is still very fragile, anyway, don't you think too much, no matter when, the martial cultivator and the immortal cultivator have their own advantages, but after the Tongtian Realm, the advantage of the immortal cultivator is a little greater than that of the martial cultivator, but it is only a little. β
"Does that mean that immortal cultivators are more likely to become immortals?"
"That's nature. β
"But the path of cultivating immortals is so good, why are there still so few immortal cultivators?"
Hongxiang scoffed and said disgustedly:
"Stupid, of course the survival rate is too low!"
"When is your turn to speak!" Xingliuyun was not angry, but unfortunately he could only use his mouth.
Hongxiang's expression was faint,
"To be honest, I think your worries are quite superfluous, even if that sword spirit is really reborn and returns, I'm afraid he won't be willing to come to find this broken sword, this represents his unspeakable past, it is what he wants to cut off the most, who would want to be too involved in things he doesn't like, isn't that sick!"
Xiao Cong's face became serious,
"You're not right, it's just the same, cause and effect have always been involuntary, maybe he doesn't know his relationship with this sword at all, but it's still possible to come to the door. β
"Then it's useless for you to think about this, if he really comes to the door, who knows if it's to get this sword back, maybe it's to destroy this sword? Well, even if you can let him destroy it at that time, since you want to use this sword as my sister's lifeline, then there will be a new cause and effect, do you know what this new cause and effect will cause? β
The second monk of Xingliuyun was puzzled,
"What do you mean by that?"
Xiao Cong also looked at Hongxiang, in fact, he was also stunned by Hongxiang's words.
Hongxiang sighed and said in an old-fashioned manner:
"I mean, just do what you want to do, don't think too much, anyway, no matter what a person does, he will be responsible for his actions after all, as for what happens in the future, you care about him, people will win the day!"
Ouyang Xun's face was full of happiness when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked:
"We are also doing this for the good of the girl, and if we analyze the stakes thoroughly, we can make the most correct choice, and we can avoid some unnecessary disasters, so are your remarks a bit broken?"
Hongxiang glanced at Ouyang Xun, with an expression that the child could not be taught and the rotten wood could not be carved.
"The choices you are talking about, there are only two, either do it or don't do it, although it may be a curse, but at the same time it can improve its strength for a period of time to save your life, if you don't do it, although you have no worries, but in the days to come, it will also increase the probability of dying at any time, even if you want to find another sword in the future, but then you may still face the same choice, the opportunity is actually the same, so from the big picture, there is no hole to drill, but if you have to care about that little cheap, hum, I won't say much if it's uglyγ β
Everyone nodded when they heard this, and Yin Nuo Zainong and the others had deep admiration on their faces.
Ouyang Xun's face was even more joyful, and he arched his hand and said:
"Taught. β
The ghost girl couldn't help but praise,
"I didn't expect you to be so aware at such a young age, it's really unexpected, if there are any problems in the future, I have to ask you for advice, you can't hide it. β
"If there is any problem with my sister, Hongxiang must know everything. Hongxiang replied briskly.
Xiao Cong and Xingliuyun looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Cong was full of joy and couldn't help but joke:
"Yo he, it's true that you've grown in, but I didn't expect to be taught a lesson by you today, keep up the good work. β
The nebula gave a very rare thumbs up,
"Boy, follow your brother Xiao Cong to mix well, the future is limitless!"
Hongxiang is dissatisfied,
"Brother, this is the third time, okay. β
Everyone was stunned, and then laughed, Xiao Cong scratched his head embarrassedly, Hongxiang's words seemed to be a little arrogant.
