The yin and evil things in the world are all nothing, and if the resentment is very deep, it will condense into essence and wander in the world. The strength of this kind of ghost creature itself is not strong, but because it is a dead thing, ordinary people are helpless, even if it is killed ten times and hundreds of times, it can still be resurrected.

Just like the female ghost in red that Shi Yu faced at this time, he had already slashed it several times, and the female ghost in red could always recover as before. If it goes on like this, it will be Shi Yu who will die.

But how could Shi Yu be willing to die here. He also had to go back to the Nine Swords Gate to retrieve his master's sword, and he also had to ask the sword Li Xiao.

So Shi Yu's sword became more and more powerful every time.

Nine Swords Gate can produce a Han Qianye who is the first in the world, of course, it is not by luck. Jiujianmen has a famous sword spectrum in the rivers and lakes, called "Sword Nine Decisions", a total of nine styles, each style has a word essence, respectively: move, light, rhyme, strength, sharp, qi, stable, heavy, fast.

Each posterior is the basis for the latter.

Shi Yu, as a disciple of Han Qianye, can certainly practice this swordsmanship. It's just that Shi Yu's talent for sword training is too ordinary, and now he can only be regarded as an entry.

Move, it's a sword move. Light, is on the basis of sword moves can do the sword easily freehand. These two formulas are the starting point. Shi Yu is empty and formless, not godly.

Now fighting with female ghosts, Shi Yu brought a bit of charm to his sword at the moment of life and death.

The originally jerky sword moves have been released, and the sword is smooth and can be done as you like.

It's just that the female ghost is too difficult, piercing her throat again and again, cutting off her head again and again, and still being able to stand up. Let Shi Yu be exhausted.

If it continues like this, there will eventually be a place for him in the flower garden.

Suddenly, someone split the gloomy canopy of heaven with a sword and floated in. Dressed in a black robe, holding a sword in his right hand and a wine bag in his left hand, he took a sip of wine after landing on the ground.

Seeing this person, the female ghost who confronted Shi Yu screamed and retreated, as if she was afraid.

Shi Yu shouted: "Li Xiao! ”

Li Xiao didn't say a word, a sword burst out, and a sword qi swept out and hit the female ghost.

The female ghost let out a terrible roar, and her body immediately turned to ashes.

There was a faint soul that fled in a hurry, and Li Xiao was about to draw his sword, when he suddenly heard a deep voice behind him.

"Soul under the sword!"

Shi Yu and Li Xiao turned their heads to look at each other. I saw a bald monk in a robe and carrying a Zen staff running towards me on the street.

As he approached the house, he jumped up, took out a bowl from his wide cuffs, grabbed the fleeing soul with one hand, and slapped it into the bowl. Only then did it fall in the courtyard, the Buddha sang, and saluted: "The poor monk Chongpu has seen two donors. ”

Li Xiao put the sword into the sheath and didn't say a word, just looked at the monk and waited for him to explain.

Monk Chongpu said: "I will detain the female ghost, and after listening to her experience, whether to disperse her soul or not, and then make a decision, how about it?" ”

Li Xiao nodded.

Monk Chongpu took out the female ghost's soul, hung it in the palm of his hand, stared at the erratic soul, and said, "Telling the truth about your experience can win you a chance to be reincarnated." ”

The female ghost nodded vigorously, and then she heard a faint voice coming.

"I was originally an ordinary peasant girl in Kunshi Town, my brother and my father are addicted to gambling, and when they have no money, they will reach out to my mother, and my mother has never complained. Until one day, my mother couldn't pay off their debts before they arrived, and my father actually ...... It turned out to be ......"

Speaking of this, the female ghost 'couldn't cry silently', and her soul swayed violently, and it would dissipate at any time.

As soon as Monk Chongpu pointed at the soul, the soul returned to calm.

After a while, a voice came out, crying: "My father actually picked up an axe and hacked my mother to death!"

After saying this, the ghostly light began to shake violently again. Monk Chongpu could only cast a spell again to stabilize his soul.

The female ghost continued: "The most hateful thing is that my brother didn't accuse my father, and even helped my father carry my mother's body into the mountain and bury it, and because I witnessed everything, I was also strangled to death by my brother and thrown in the back mountain. ”

"But I finally lived, I don't know how I came back to life, I felt that I had endless power when I was resurrected again, but every time the sun rose my body burned, I knew that I was not resurrected, I just became a lonely ghost in people's mouths."

But my desire for revenge grew stronger, and I went down one night, but I was almost beaten by the mountain god at the foot of the mountain. After returning to the mountain, I found that this abandoned mountain temple still had the spiritual roots left by the mountain god, so I devoted myself to cultivation here, hoping that one day I could enter the town without knowing anything and kill those two beasts that were inferior to beasts. ”

"Finally, I found my chance."

"They don't know whether they have a bad conscience or a good heart, but they came to the mountain to pay tribute to my mother. My hatred for them was far from being compensated for by this little thing, so I killed them, cut off their heads, planted them in the mountains, and watered their souls with the water of the gutter, so that they would never be able to live forever! ”

After that, the wisp of soul was silent for a long time before he spoke again: "But I have only harmed these two people, and I have never harmed innocent people, I know that I deserve to die, but I don't want to be wiped out, I beg the sword fairy to spare my life!" ”

The last few words were said to Li Xiao, but he didn't want Li Xiao to snort coldly, pointed at Shi Yu, and asked, "Since you didn't harm innocent people, why did you have murderous thoughts against him?" ”

"I... I—" The female ghost spoke incoherently.

Li Xiao looked at Shi Yu and said, "Whether you want to kill it or not, you decide." ”

Shi Yu's eyes were cold, and just a glance at his soul made him feel like he was in an ice cellar.

Shi Yu suddenly stepped out and handed out a sword in the starting hand style of a sword nine duels. A sword that seemed to be an understatement, but there were wisps of sword qi overflowing, making the soul go down to the oil pot and make a sizzling sound.

The female ghost's voice was even more miserable, one after another, intermittently.

After a while, the sword qi dissipated, and the female ghost no longer screamed.

Shi Yu said coldly: "No matter how pitiful you are, you can't cover up your murderous crimes, since you have already had the idea of committing murder, you must be ready to pay the price, I won't kill you, the pain of the right sword qi is the price of wanting to kill me." ”

The soul flickered, and the voice of the female ghost came out: "Xie Jianxian is not killed." ”

Monk Chongpu clasped his hands together and said, "Good." ”

Sacrifice the pottery bowl and bring the soul into it.

Then with a wave of his robe, Shi Yu only felt that the world was spinning, and the three of them returned to the broken temple.

At this time, the sky is already bright, the snow has stopped, and the red sun is hanging high.

The monk Chongpu has a Zen staff in his left hand, a bowl in his right hand, bows down, and the Buddha sings and says: "The poor monk still wants to travel far away to the Jin Kingdom, so don't pass by, the two donors and walk slowly." ”

Shi Yu and Li Xiao hugged their fists at the same time.

After the monk walked away, Shi Yu and the two also walked down the mountain.

The wine in Li Xiao's wine bag had been drunk, so he walked quickly. Shi Yu had to run and walk to keep up.

"Do you know that your sword training talent is actually very good?" Li Xiao suddenly slowed down.

Shi Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "No one has ever said this. ”

Li Xiao asked, "How many years have you practiced the swordsmanship of the Nine Swords Gate?" ”

Shi Yu didn't think about it and said, "Five years." ”

He followed Han Qianye to practice swords at the age of ten, and now he is fifteen years old.

Li Xiao asked again: "How many times have you practiced?" ”

Shi Yu said: "No less than 10,000 times. ”

After thinking about it, he added: "Master said that diligence can make up for shortcomings. ”

Li Xiao said with a smile: "There are all kinds of martial arts in the world, there are great successes, few geniuses, and most of them have great perseverance." ”

Shi Yu was puzzled, so he asked, "Why?" ”

Li Xiao asked, "Your master Han Qianye is a genius, right?" ”

Shi Yu nodded. In his twenties, he is one of the ten strongest swordsmen in the world, and of course he is a genius.

Li Xiao suddenly laughed, his smile was very cunning, and he said, "But I only need a sword to kill Han Qianye, but I am not a genius." ”

Shi Yu frowned and pursed his lips silently. He didn't like to listen to what Li Xiao said, but it was a fact.

Li Xiao saw that the young man didn't speak, so he stopped teasing, and said to himself: "When your master became famous, I didn't even have a name on the rivers and lakes, no one knew who Li Xiao was, and no one would think that I, Li Xiao, could become the number one in the world, I know that even my master didn't think so." ”

"Do you know when I've had the hardest time?"

Shi Yu shook his head.

Li Xiao said: "It was the ten years that I disappeared in the rivers and lakes. ”

Shi Yu looked at Li Xiao with a puzzled face, he didn't know what happened to Li Xiao before.

Li Xiao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I killed my master by mistake, and I couldn't get over a hurdle in my heart, so I went to the sea coast in the south of the Jin Kingdom, and practiced the swordsmanship passed on to me by my master day after day on the boulder in the sea. ”

"Under my feet is the vast sea, hiding the dragon demon, I fight with them every day except for practicing swords, I thought I would die there."

"It wasn't until my sword qi leveled the boulder that I opened my heart knot."

Li Xiao's spirit was bright, and he said: "It was only then that I understood what Master often said that there is nothing outside the body, only a sword. ”

"I went back to this river and lake, all the way from the coast of the South China Sea to the Great Xia Kingdom, and no one was able to take my sword."

"I wanted to know how fast my sword was, so I asked Sword Han Chiba."

"I went with the determination to die, and I didn't want to fight but killed Han Qianye with a sword."

Li Xiao suddenly turned his head to look at Shi Yu, and asked with a wry smile: "I said I didn't mean it, do you believe it?" ”

Shi Yu nodded and said, "I believe it, but that's still not a reason for me to let go of my determination to kill you." ”

Li Xiao smiled very freely this time, he rubbed Shi Yu's hair, and said: "So practicing swords doesn't have to be talented, when you play a sword 100,000 times, a million times, you will always let the world see how fast you can play a sword!" ”

Li Xiao said heroically, but Shi Yu's face was sad.

He didn't think that he couldn't produce a million swords, he just felt that he had practiced five years of swords and nine decisions before he could hand out the third style, if he practiced a million swords, could he really ask the sword world?

Difficult!

But he is still willing to listen to Li Xiao, as the master said, diligence can make up for clumsiness.

Another day of sunset.

Two figures, one big and one small, stepped into Kunshi Town in the setting sun.

A large sword in his left hand and a wine bag hanging from his waist. Two swords are stuck diagonally on the shoulders of the small one, and the spikes of one sword sway from side to side.
