Chapter 21: The Nine Shadows of the Sword Talisman
Leap February, the vernal equinox.
Xu Zhien was going out this morning, and Wei Xia came over early in the morning.
Although his friendship with Xu Zhien is not very deep, he has helped a lot, and Wei Xia Zhi also wants to find out what the mission of Jianzhuang is like.
In the center of the mountaintop sword village, in front of the seven-story building, a man in a purple robe stood at the front, and more than 30 guests behind him wore long swords at their waists, standing in an orderly position.
The purple-robed man was Xu Zhien, and his face was also a lot more serious at this time, not as serious as usual.
Wei Xia Zhi came early and stood beside Xu Zhien for a long time.
Anyway, he also has the name of chief guest secretary on his head.
Half an hour later, the window on the seventh floor slowly opened, and a young woman with a white shawl draped over her shoulders stood behind the window, looking down at the crowd.
Xu Zhien took a step forward and said loudly: "Madam, the guest Qing who went to the southeast spiritual vein has been assembled and can set off at any time." β
After glancing at it, Mrs. Chu said softly, "Go ahead, be careful on the road, and when you arrive at the spiritual vein, you must obey the dispatch of the sect disciples." β
"Yesβ" They all bowed their heads and clenched their fists.
Xu Zhien was the first to fly up and said, "Keep up!" On the way to the southeast spiritual vein, don't leave without permission, let alone cause trouble! β
Woohoo! There were more than thirty figures in front of the clouds in the sky of Jianzhuang, all of them breaking through the clouds, and the people at the head were dragging a white line.
Wei Xia Zhi naturally couldn't see this face, but they all left in the wind.
The guests brought by Xu Zhien are all in the prosperous realm and powerful, but they are not afraid of any moths on the road.
Wei Xia Zhi also guessed whether Xu Zhien was still above the earth, it was the realm of Heavenly Xuan.
Unknown.
He, the chief guest secretary of the seventh-order martial artist strength, had been a little embarrassed for a few days, and he was even more panicked.
"Summer solstice, come up."
As soon as Wei Xia Zhi wanted to leave, he immediately turned around, "Yes, madam." β
If the group of guests who left just now were still there, I am afraid that their jaws would have dropped.
This seven-story building is Mrs. Chu's exclusive dojo, and no one can enter it, so Xu Zhien came over and stood downstairs waiting for orders.
has already been here once, Wei Xia Zhi naturally won't hit his head.
If it was a forest, he could avoid it by the sound of leaves and branches, but the place was so quiet that the sound from outside could not be transmitted into the building at all, and there was no difference in taste, so he hit the pillar on the first floor.
Wow...
The young man in white trotted upstairs.
When he reached the seventh floor, Wei Xia Zhi stood outside the corridor, bowed his head and hugged his fists, and said, "Mrs. Chu." β
"Didn't hit your head, did you?" A woman's gentle inquiry was heard in the room.
Wei Xia Zhi's face was slightly embarrassed, and he scratched his head and said, "Thank you Madam for your concern, last time it was just... I don't know the road yet. β
"Well, that's good, just play a song, and then go back and have a good rest, if that group of people who intercepted and killed you come to trouble you, I'll help you blow it away, or catch it for you, the chief guest of Dongchu Sword Village is not something that can be bullied by a mountain thief."
Wei Xia Zhi's heart warmed, and he hugged his fists and thanked him: "Thank you, Mrs. Chu, it's just a rabble, don't pay attention to it." β
Mrs. Chu said this, Kong Xin must have brought people back to Forget Valley to find him.
Did you fall in love with Ye Wei? Or is there something else going on?
Wei Xia Zhi did not have a clear answer.
However, if there is a chance in the future, Wei Xia Zhi will go to him to settle it.
The young woman in the room hummed softly, indicating that she would not interfere with his personal grievances.
Wei Xia Zhi didn't say anything more, and after untying the piano case he was carrying, he sat down cross-legged and began to play.
As Mrs. Chu said, she really played a song casually.
Mrs. Chu was not angry, but asked coldly, "Is it cold on the ground?" β
Being so gentle to him, Wei Xia Zhi didn't know the bottom in his heart, and quickly shook his head and said, "The ground is naturally not cold... Madame doesn't have to care so much about her subordinates, the physique of a seventh-order martial artist is not bad. β
Mrs. Chu nodded, and asked again, "Xia Zhi, you came here to think that I am not a bad person?" β
Wei Xia Zhi stood up and said, "Yes, people who really like music and rhythm, I don't think their personalities are too bad." β
The young woman in the room nodded, "Say, what kind of Taoism do you want?" Offense or self-defense, or something else? β
Wei Xia Zhi thought about it, didn't dare to ask for it, and said: "Madam, there is nothing that can help Jian Zhuang under my subordinates, I will see the Dao first..."
"The sword art just now can only be learned by the monks of the Disheng Realm, the Disheng Realm Wind Resisting consumes too many true spirits, and the sword art can just make up for it... Rather... You're only a seventh-order martial artist, and you can't learn it. β
"In this way, I have a sword talisman here, with the age, there is no threshold on identity, martial arts monks can practice, this sword trick will become stronger with your breakthrough in martial arts, but if you want to learn it, you need to put a little more thought... As for what its upper limit is... It's probably the late Tianxuan period. β
"Put it away."
Wei Xia Zhi stretched out his hands and held the cold copper piece the size of two fingers.
There was a smile on his face, was this the first chance in his life?
He didn't even know the weight of the late Tianxuan period.
An ancient sword technique that records that can support until the late Tianxuan period is about to break the head and bleed outside.
Whether it is a mountain and a wild cultivator, or a spectrum immortal master, this is the case.
"The sword recipe is called Nine Shadows, and the sword talisman can only be understood once, after I go back and use it, I don't understand it and come to ask me... Let's practice well, and I'll call you tomorrow. β
Wei Xia Zhi hugged his fists and left, feeling that Mrs. Chu was indeed more concerned about her subordinates, and it seemed that the place was not wrong.
On the twelfth day of the second month of the leap month, the sky was clear.
The Wei Xia solstice is the same as some time ago, playing in a forest far away from the mountain.
It is difficult to let go of his hands and feet in the sword village, and he is afraid that it will affect the cultivation of others.
The monk pays attention to purity, and it is not good to disturb the cultivation of other guest secretaries, and the title of the chief guest secretary is not at ease.
can also play qi alchemy, which is the main reason.
This is the method he hides to press the bottom of the box, and it can't be easily known to the people of Jianzhuang.
The white-clothed young man under the tree enjoyed the breeze, and his slender and white fingers clicked on the piano.
On a big tree on the other side, a man in a purple shirt was lying.
The man had a leaf in his mouth, and his mouth was humming a chirping ballad, following the rhythm of the piano music.
The man was Xu Zhien, who had just come back a few days ago, and he had nothing to do if he stayed on it, so he told Mrs. Chu that he was going down the mountain to protect Wei Xia Zhi.
In fact, Wei Xia Zhi didn't need him to come here at all, in addition to refining qi, another purpose for Wei Xia Zhi to go down the mountain to practice the piano was to see if he could meet Kong Xin.
If you don't cut a few swords for that handsome gentleman, it won't be comfortable to sleep at night.
"Ahem, Chief Wei, aren't you really that Wei Yimin?" Xu Zhien asked suddenly.
Wei Xia Zhi kept singing, shook his head and said: "No, what an immortal figure Wei Yimin is, how can such an immortal be me, a seventh-order mortal." β
Xu Zhien is a good person, and Wei Xia Zhi doesn't mind chatting with him.
"Hey, Lao Wei, you're not authentic, it's okay to lie to your brother, but don't lie to yourself." The man sat up, legs crossed, and swayed.
Wei Xia Zhi ignored him, but was silent for a long time before asking, "How did those three guest secretaries die?" β
The three Keqing of the Disheng Territory who went out on the mission died, and even he, the chief guest secretary who didn't care much about the affairs of Jianzhuang, knew about these things.
Didn't you just follow the disciples of the Fire Cloud Sect to mine the spiritual veins? So why is the southeast spirit vein so dangerous?
Xu Zhien was sitting up, spitting out the leaves, and said with a smile: "That place is not as safe as you think."
Wei Xia Zhi frowned, "How can there be an explanation?" β
Xu Zhien said impatiently: "Eh, don't talk about that, what do you do with the disciples of the Huoyun Sect, you will die when you encounter some danger, and it doesn't mean that the Huoyun Sect has never died, anyway, it's not for you to go, why do you ask so much?" β
Wei Xia Zhi nodded, that kind of deep mountains and old forests, it is not strange that there are monsters infested, and even hidden devils and evil cultivators.
The more Wei Xia Zhi thought about it, the more wrong it became, if he really met a demon cultivator or a ghost cultivator, wouldn't it crackle? How could there be no explanation.
The monsters of the Nanling Immortal Dynasty are not enough to be caught by the wandering Taoist priests and night guards, so...
I can't figure it out, and he doesn't think much about this kind of thing that has nothing to do with him.
Half a quarter of an hour later, after a song, the man in the purple shirt jumped off the tree with a bang.
"Leaving?" Wei Xia Zhi asked.
Xu Zhien walked towards the mountain in front of him and said, "Let's go first... Oh yes, Xiang Dawn, don't have too much to do with him. β
"It's okay to have a relationship, but it's better not to have a deep relationship."
Wei Xia Zhi was puzzled, is it a grudge between them?
It's normal to smear each other, after all, Xiang Liming also spit bitter water on him, saying what happened to Xu Zhien.
The purple-shirted man turned half of his face sideways, and suddenly smiled: "I dare to tell you when I get out of the mountain, I came here for another purpose, and I believe that he is the same." β
Wei Xia Zhi wanted to ask something, but the purple-shirted man had already gone with his sword, "Let's go-"
"Anyway, you just stay by Madame's side, there won't be a big problem..."
The casual voice grew farther and farther away.
Although Wei Xia Zhi has no cultivation qualifications, he is really good at the piano and can also refine qi, Xu Zhien doesn't want this young man to be used as a knife and doesn't know it.
In fact, he is completely overwhelmed, and Wei Xia Zhi will have his own considerations when doing things.
Because he is not carefree, he is worried, Ye Wei, his parents, and the disasters brought by the bloodline on his body.
Two hours later, the spring curtain gradually hung up.
It was still early, and it wouldn't be long before he returned to Jianzhuang, so Wei Xia Zhi continued to play.
Rustling...
A sound of light footsteps sounded, and Wei Xia Zhi still played without stopping.
The person who came was a young woman of twenty years old, wearing a long blue dress, with a lily bun on her head, and her face was white and flawless without any rouge and gouache.
The person who came was Ye Wei, after breaking through to the Qi Gathering Realm, she really broke away from the realm of mortals, with about two hundred years of lifespan, and her appearance was better.
"Wei Xia Zhi, Madam is looking for you." Her tone was calm, mixed with a hint of impatience.
Coming so far and not going back for so long, let her find it easily. In the end, I asked Xiang Liming to learn that Wei Xia Zhi should practice at the foot of this mountain.
Wei Xia Zhi finally turned his head and asked with a smile, "Wei, how is the swordsmanship you learned from Madame?" β
Ye Wei snorted, turned around and left directly, "Go back quickly!" β
It wasn't him who was scolded for a while, she just came to pass the word.
Wei Xia Zhi listened to the woman's cold voice, a little helpless.
"Let's go."
With a greeting, a strong horse grazing in the distance came over with the reins in his mouth.
