Sword Mound Mountain, the five people of Qian Chao are finally going there.

These days, they have been going around Sword Shrine Mountain in a big circle, and after verifying the three heaven and earth cages identified by Qian Chao, Sword Shrine Mountain has become the most important destination of their trip.

Among the five people, Qian Chao and Li Jian had heard the name of Sword Shrine Mountain a long time ago. At that time, Qian Chao was still a second-level cultivator of qi refining, but he had already entered the inner hall of the Chengqi Hall, among the many qi refining disciples in the sect, he already had some reputation for alchemy, one day a monk named Song Yuan brought a strange wooden stick to ask him to identify, saying that this thing was obtained by him from the Sword Shrine Mountain, and later this Song Yuan was frightened away by the two Fangyang Fang Han sisters who came to ask Qian Chao to refine the armor, but left that thing in Qian Chao's place, and then it happened that Tao Miao of the Moon Yinglin of Shuiyun Valley asked Qian Chao to identify what it was, actually performed a trick on Qian Chao in the Chengqi Hall, which almost made Qian Chao fall into the way, if it weren't for Tang Ping's senior sister Ruo Yu happened to go to the Chengqi Hall, Qian Chao might be difficult to defend himself. After that, Qian Chao put a lot of effort into what Song Yuan left behind, and finally found out that it was the sword shed left by the sword cultivator who didn't know before. (For the above episodes, see Volume III: Ignorance and Qi Refining, Chapters 85 to 89)

Later, Song Yuan abandoned it after knowing that the sword was useless, and Tao Miao also kept it useless, so he left it to Qian Chao, and then turned to Li Jian, who Qian Chao took this sword to find, and told him the original story, so Li Jian knew that the two green bamboo branches he had been using to play with the wild bees in the forest actually secretly combined a sword cultivation method, and since then Li Jian has really found his own sword cultivation path and has persevered.

Sword Mound Mountain, with high peaks and dangerous walls, plunges straight into the clouds, and when you look at it from a distance, it is like a long sword stuck in the earth. Staying at the foot of the mountain, this feeling is especially great, not completely because of the steep and steep mountain shape of the sword mound mountain, but the sword mound mountain as a whole has a kind of solemn and solemn charm, here neither the ape cry nor the birdsong is rare, but the closer you get, the more you feel that there is a sharp sword sound in your ears and the faint and endless, like a long silver wire stretched straight and keeps cutting the mountain breeze blowing by.

As the five of them got closer and closer to Sword Shrine Mountain, except for Li Jian, the other four people also had a feeling of being forced by sharp blades and their hearts were beating, which made several people extremely vigilant against this Sword Shrine Mountain.

Before this outing, the Cold Moon Fairy had been to Li Jian's Purple Bamboo Forest, and when he spoke, he heard Li Jian talk about going to Sword Mound Mountain this time, and at that time, the Cold Moon Fairy told Li Jian in detail about the things in Sword Mound Mountain, which naturally included the things of the Qing Xiu and the Dust Staining faction in Mu Xiufeng before, and the reason why the Dust Staining Sect disappeared later, and finally the Cold Moon Fairy told Li Jian that the Sword Mound Mountain was the place where the ancestors of the Dust Staining Sect were buried. The hatred and sword qi of the ancestors of those dust-staining sects were entangled and lingering during their lifetimes, and they had always been entrenched in the Sword Mound Mountain, so there were no other demon birds and monsters there, but there was a kind of monster that could not be seen elsewhere, and that thing was extremely powerful, but Li Jian didn't have to worry, if he encountered that thing in the Sword Mound Mountain, as long as he revealed his identity as a disciple of Mu Xiufeng, those things would naturally retreat and no longer trouble them.

At the foot of the Sword Shrine Mountain, Li Jian told the four companions what the Cold Moon Fairy had told him, and finally said:

"Leng Yue's predecessor said that this sword mound mountain is indeed as Brother Qian said, there is a place called the Sword Washing Pool, where there is a rare spiritual spring water, but the Sword Washing Pond is in the burial place of the ancestors of the Dust Staining Sect before, it is a little troublesome to enter there, and it is not feasible to break in, Leng Yue's predecessor said that only Mu Xiufeng's sword cultivator can enter that place, well, he didn't tell me how to do it, he only said that he would know when the time comes, so if we encounter any trouble in this Sword Mound Mountain this time, I will solve it, um, according to what Leng Yue's predecessors said, we should be able to enter there, at most, there is no danger. ”

Several people nodded.

There are two purposes for coming to this Sword Shrine Mountain, one is naturally that Qian Chao wants to find Wen Liang's arrangement in this Sword Shrine Mountain; The second is to find the sword washing pool here, Li Jian's green bamboo spirit sword should be bathed in the spiritual spring water there, and Tang Ping also wants to see the color of the spiritual spring water in the sword washing pool, which is suitable for her to brew spiritual wine.

After all, this Sword Mound Mountain is the place where the ancestors of the Five Spirits Sect are buried, and in order to show their respect, the five of Qian Chao fell down on the way to wash the sword pool, and only walked there with their footsteps.

"When I heard Brother Li say this, I realized that such a big thing had happened in our sect before, and many people died by their own people, alas, this is really unthinkable" Lu Pingchuan chatted while walking.

"Yes, I was also very surprised when Senior Leng Yue said these things at that time, I didn't expect that there would be such a story in Mu Xiufeng, um, but now it can't be said that the means of the Dust Dyeing Sect have been completely cut off, take Senior Leng Yue as an example, she has used the means of enchanting more than once when facing the enemy......"

"Oh, that'...... So is the cold moon predecessor from the Qing Cultivation Sect or the Dust Staining Sect? Yan Xuan asked.

"Where is there any dust faction, and the cold moon predecessors into the demon is not what she thinks, in the battle, the long-term battle is full of dangers, and it is difficult to restrain oneself when the sword cultivation is in danger, in that case, the sword cultivation may enter the demon, after entering the demon, the madness, the potential of oneself is fully released, the power of the sword cultivation will increase exponentially, generally speaking, the sword cultivation of the demon will remain sane and clear in a short period of time, and can use this time to kill strong enemies, however, if you still can't defeat the opponent after entering the demon, If you can't break free from the demon realm in time, it will be dangerous, and you may be completely lost in the demon realm, lose your mind from then on, and become a monster who only knows how to kill. I know from Leng Yue's seniors, at least Mu Xiufeng's sword cultivation seniors regard demon entry as a last resort, and they will not use it easily unless they have to, Leng Yue's predecessors' previous experience of entering the demon was when they were seriously injured when facing the enemy, and they were almost desperate to defeat and win, but even so, every time she entered the demon, she would close a long pass to eliminate the influence of the demon realm on her mind. ”

"No wonder...... No wonder Mu Xiufeng chose disciples not to look at the spiritual root, but only at the heart. Yan Xuan said.

"This makes sense," Tang Ping suddenly said, "I said why did Leng Yue's predecessor refuse directly when he saw that Yun Xi, there was no affection at all, I thought about it, I could see at a glance that Yun Xi was not a determined person, and it was not a good thing for her to become a sword cultivator, I still remember the time when we were saving Shang Jie, Brother Li and Yun Xi had a competition, and that one was extremely exciting, and finally Brother Li took the initiative to stop, and afterwards Brother Li explained that Yun Xi was too murderous at that time, It was almost to the point of being enchanted, Brother Li didn't want to push her too hard, so he took the initiative to take a step back, but, Brother Li, after a while, it will be 'Chengguan En's test', and if Yun Xi challenges you on the stage, he will definitely fight to the death, it will be related to your apprenticeship, and it is also related to the face of Leng Yue's seniors, I am afraid that even if you want to let her go that time, the elders of the sect will almost go to watch it. ”

Li Jian was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly, knowing that he would have this trouble that he couldn't avoid in the future, but it was useless to think about it, Chengguan En's test was only a few months, thinking that Yunxi had been working hard all the time, he said helplessly:

"Let's talk about it then, that Yun girl should have made a great improvement in her closed-door cultivation during this time, and she won't ...... on stage."

Lu Pingchuan heard it but gloated and said:

"Hehe, that's not for sure, eh, and Brother Qian, hehe, that white boy will definitely think about revenge, and there will be really excitement to see when the time comes, ha!"

Qian Chao listened but didn't care, from beginning to end, Bai Lin was not the opponent in his heart, and he just smiled when he heard Lu Pingchuan's words.

On both sides of the mountain road, the trees were lush and silent, and the five of them walked forward while talking.

During the chat, Lu Pingchuan suddenly said:

"Why do I always feel that the further I go, the more cold I feel on my back, eh, am I also like Brother Li also have some sense power, I always feel that someone is secretly staring at us, what about you?"

The rest of the money tide, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan were the same, they all felt that the more they walked forward, the more they looked like a few mice, they were being watched by countless long snakes insidiously, and the feeling of panic became stronger and stronger, so they all looked at Li Jian.

Li Jian was also the first time to come to this Sword Shrine Mountain, and he felt the same at this time, thinking about what the Cold Moon Fairy had said, Li Jian opened his mouth and said:

"It should be almost there, there should be a place called Sword Wood Forest in front, and after the past, it will be the Broken Sword Cliff, where the ancestors of those Dust Staining Sect are buried, and the Sword Washing Pool is also there, well, what Leng Yue's predecessors said must be true, come, I will walk in front, it should be fine."

The mountain road winds upward, and the place where the five people are at this time can be regarded as a good place with a strong aura, but the stronger the aura, the more the intent to kill. ＼

Sure enough, there is a different forest tree in front, covering a lot of land but not many trees, but each one is a hugging tree, straight and straight, the umbrella cover is like a cloud, the trunk is straight up and down, round and majestic, there are no oblique branches under the umbrella cover, within the canopy, the branches are dense, but each branch is straight and straight, like a sheathed sword! And every leaf of the branch trembles in the wind, and there is a chill when the tip of the sword dances! In addition to the trees, there are clusters of cultivated bamboo in this forest, the bamboo body is slender and beautiful, the bamboo joints are round and evenly run up and down, and the bamboo branches and leaves are verdant and dripping, but there is such a hidden majesty in the greenery that is prohibitive.

Just look at the dense canopy here, this should be a dense forest with trees, but look at the trunks under the branches and leaves, it is sparse and falling, and even a little empty, at a glance, you can see the stone wall and stone path on the opposite side from this side of the woods, this forest is strange, it is really rare in the world.

Just when the five of them had just stepped on the edge of the forest, suddenly endless sword intent and sword qi came from the forest like a strong wind, followed by boundless murderous intent and hatred, everyone's ears groaned and roared, as if someone suddenly pulled a peerless sword out of the sword box in their ears, the sword body trembled and roared like silver threads through the ears and lingered, and then the boundless killing intent was like cold snow water, and the head was drenched, making people tremble, and they no longer had the courage to raise their feet and move forward.

At this time, the fear of the five people is by no means the same as when facing the powerful demon beast before, when facing the extremely powerful demon beast, they know that they can avoid or even flee if they are invincible, but at this time, the five people are like being frozen in a static river, and they no longer dare to move except for the cold all over their bodies, and the five faces have turned pale, among the disciples who have cultivated qi, the five of them are one of the few who can experience such a feeling.

"This is it......" Li Jian said slowly, "Don't move, I'll go over." ”

Cold sweat trickled down from Lu Pingchuan's forehead for the first time, and at this time, Lu Pingchuan felt that he was being held up by countless sharp blades in front of his chest and back, as long as he made a slight movement, he would immediately be the end of ten thousand swords. And Tang Ping and Yan Xuan held each other's arms tightly with pale faces.

"Brother Li......" Seeing Li briefly enter the forest, Qian Chao couldn't help but call.

"Don't worry, I understand." Li Jian turned around and said.

Li Jian said that he understood, that was because he understood the meaning of Qian Chao, the origin of the strange trees and bamboos in this sword forest, Li Jian and Qian Chao both saw it, every tree in this sword forest, although they are now flourishing, but they were all in the hands of a sword cultivator!

This sword wood forest is actually ...... The Forest of Living Swords!
