Chapter 9: Chang Gung's Last Dream

After Li Ke left Zhuohua Mountain, he returned to the Xiangshui Town Inn, and everyone exclaimed when they saw Li Ke returning.

Li Ke explained: "It was Shi Wei who saved him and escaped, and Shi Wei is now the husband of Zhuohua Mountain." And told Xiao Er to bring the horse and leave Xiangshui Town.

The shopkeeper brought Li Ke's white horse Haoyu, but asked Li Ke: "Childe, what about the other horse?" ”

Li Ke thought for a moment, took out some silver from his arms, handed it to the little second-hand, and said, "You just have to serve well, maybe one day, Brother Shi Wei will come to pick it up." Then he rode out of the city.

On Zhuohua Mountain, Shi Wei and Liu Lianhua both saw the letter left by Li Ke, and they were both sad. Liu Lianhua stared at those lines for a long time, full of reluctance and regret in her heart, and had a trace of hope for the future.

A few days later, he really came to the Xiangshui Town Inn to retrieve the horse, and returned to Zhuohua Mountain and never went down the mountain to live a fairy life.

Li Ke walked a long way out of the city to the northeast, but Liu Lianhua's appearance repeatedly came to mind, and he consciously lived up to his affection, and sighed all the way. Along the way, Li Ke ate dry food and wild fruits when he was hungry, drank mountain springs and drank fine wine when he was thirsty, and stayed at night in farmhouses or broken temples, or on tree trunks, under hanging stones, and was at ease.

Two days later, Li Ke walked to a mountain, the mountain was as high as a cloud, the road was rugged and difficult to walk, Li Ke looked at his white horse, knew that it was difficult to cross, so he found a family nearby, exchanged the white horse for some dry food and turbid wine, and will climb the mountain.

After understanding, it is known that the name of this mountain is called Jianmen Mountain, the mountain shape is like a sword and cannot be climbed, and it is really out of the boundary of Nanchuan when it has been turned over this mountain, and the north and south are separated by this mountain, and a lot of exchanges in all aspects have been broken.

Although Li Ke's martial arts are good, it is still difficult to climb the mountain, and he can't run and jump with his martial arts, so he can only climb up carefully step by step, and if he is not careful, he will fall into the abyss. Li Ke looked at everything behind him, and knew that after this mountain, he was almost about to be cut off from all the previous things, including the grandfather of Jinyang City, and also the Liu Lianhua of Zhuohua Mountain, and he was reluctant to take a few more glances behind him.

Li Ke after some difficult climbing, finally climbed to the top of the mountain, there is a pavilion on the top of the mountain, the name is called the Sword Pavilion, according to legend, there are two swordsmen with superb swordsmanship who met here in ancient times, because both of them are so strong, they refused to give way, they competed here, the battle was not divided for several days and nights, so they built a pavilion here, in order to shelter from the wind and rain, until later they have not divided the victory or defeat, the two sympathize with each other, and no longer fight, after the two left, the world heard the origin of this pavilion, and named the Sword Pavilion.

Li Ke looked at the stone walls around the Sword Pavilion, a huge deep and shallow traces made Li Ke surprised, those grooves seem to be natural, but they are actually sword marks, and now these traces still exude a trace of ancient sword intent, Li Ke's mind suddenly appeared The scene of the people fighting here back then, one move and one style is just like a celestial.

It was already dark, Li Ke stood in the Sword Pavilion, looking at the mountain in front of him, the lights were shining, and then looked at the mountain behind him, the lights were scattered, which intensified Li Ke's determination to go out. But tonight, I plan to rest in this sword pavilion and go down the mountain tomorrow.

Li Ke took out the dry food and wine jug, ate a few bites, and then fell asleep with anticipation.

Birds chirp in deep streams, and apes cry in the mountains. The bright moon shone on Jianmen Mountain, everything seemed so clear, the mountain wind blew the grass and trees on the cliff from time to time, and every wisp was like some sword intent slowly blowing into Li Ke's brain. In such an environment, Li Ke slept very relaxed, and also very steady, feeling much more comfortable than in a noisy and noisy environment, Li Ke rested his head on a strange stone, and fell asleep after a while.

"Who's coming?" Suddenly, a voice sounded in my head.

Li Ke was suddenly startled, and looked around, but found that the surrounding environment seemed to be different from the Sword Pavilion, only to see that there were high mountains on all sides, and he was standing on a field between the high mountains, which looked like a sword field for practice, and the field was empty, and there was no one around. Li Ke was surprised, "Who is it?" Who's talking? ”

The voice suddenly sounded out of thin air: "I am the sword immortal Li Changgeng, who are you?" ”

Li Ke looked around, saw that there was still no one, and replied: "I am Li Ke, a native of Jinyang, Nanchuan." ”

At this time, a cloud of mist appeared at the foot of the mountain in the distance, gradually turning into an ethereal figure, slowly floating towards Li Ke, stopping in front of Li Ke, and Li Ke hurriedly saluted.

I saw that the shadow was kind and kind-eyed, with white hair and long beard, dressed in a Taoist robe, and holding a worn-out wooden sword, but this wooden sword looked like a sword aura, which was extremely inconsistent with its appearance, and the figure sighed loudly: "It's been three hundred years, and someone has finally entered here, and it's not in vain that I've been waiting here for three hundred years, since you can come, you must have something peculiar about yourself, and it's also your chance, otherwise ordinary people may not have an induction with the stone I left behind." ”

"Three hundred years ago, the old man and Pei Jianyi met here, and they didn't decide the winner for a few days and nights, and then they knew that it was meaningless to continue, so they gave up, but the old man had a strong nature, how could he give up easily, after Pei Jian left, the old man stayed in this sword pavilion for several months, looking at the sword marks on the stone wall and recalling every style of the move at that time, and finally realized the strongest three swords in the world, and after getting the new move, he was happy to go down the mountain to find Pei Jianyi and wanted to divide the superiority, but he couldn't find it for several years. Later, I heard that Pei Jianyi offended the royal family in the capital, and was finally beheaded by the whole family, and only one descendant survived because he wanted to learn from the strengths of the people and wander around the world, which can be described as a regret in the life of the old man, so he returned here and left the old man's mind and remnants here, one is to commemorate the battle with Pei Jianyi, and the other is to hope that the people who are destined to get this inheritance and Pei's descendants will share the old man's superiority. The remnant of the sword immortal said with regret.

Li Ke was very puzzled: "After listening to the words of the seniors, Li Ke has a little understanding, and he also feels sorry for the seniors, but the younger generations are still puzzled, where is this?" How can I relate to this stone? ”

The figure stroked his long beard: "This is the Chang Gung Sword Field left by the old man, as for why it is you, the old man doesn't know, but the fate is determined, since it is destined to be you, why bother." ”

Li Ke looked at the afterimage of the sword immortal Li Changgeng in front of him, and he was still in disbelief.

"Boy, meditate and concentrate, if you come, you will be safe, today the old man will teach you the three sword intentions that I have realized in my ultimate life, you must observe, remember, and understand, if you can comprehend them all, the people who use swords in this world will bow their heads in front of you, if you can carry forward on this basis, and then create new tricks, it will be even worse."

After listening to this, Li Ke's heart was shocked, and he began to meditate.

With a wave of the sleeves of the remnant image, Li Ke was bounced out by an invisible force and landed firmly on the edge of the sword field.

"You can listen up, the first sword that the old man wants to give you is called 'A Sword Comes to the Sun' This sword is fast, the sword qi swings out like light, it cannot be dodged, and wherever the sword qi goes, it is like the sun burning, and ordinary people are invincible." After that, the afterimage flew into the air, like an immortal in the air, his left finger to the ground, his right hand bent, standing in front of his chest with a sword, his eyes closed lightly, as if everything around him was still at this moment, just as Li Ke was concentrating on comprehension, the afterimage suddenly opened his eyes, and the hand holding the sword instantly waved downward, and an unusually sharp sword intent volleyed down, as if the sun broke through the clouds and shone on the ground, between the electric light and flint, the place was divided into two pieces in the middle, and the sword marks on the ground were more than a zhang long, several feet deep, the gap was smooth and smooth, and there was no pause.

When Li Ke saw this shocking sword, he couldn't believe everything in front of him, and he didn't dare to imagine that the first sword was so domineering, so wouldn't the second and third swords be ruined.

"Hugh should be distracted, look at the second sword! This second sword is called 'Flying Stream 3,000 Feet', this sword pays attention to the art of the sword, and the more you study your internal strength and thoughts, the higher you cultivate these two realms, the more stable and farther, and cultivate to the extreme, even if you kill people for thousands of miles. After Chang Gung finished speaking, he stood on the field, transported the internal force to the wooden sword, pointed at the tip of the sword, raised his hand and threw it forward, only to see that the sword flew out of the void, the moment it flew out, the sword body was separated into hundreds of sword shadows, wherever the mind went, it was indestructible, the thousands of sword shadows flew back and forth in the mountains on all sides, and the mountains on all sides flew all over in a moment, Chang Gung afterimages stretched out their hands, and those sword shadows turned back into the body and returned to their hands, and the surrounding sound was like a landslide at this time, Li Ke looked up, However, I saw that the rocky cliffs and all the plants and trees on the mountain were neatly cut off, and all of them fell under the cliffs.

"Look at my third sword, this sword is the ultimate sword of the old man, this sword is out, the world bows its head, this sword is called 'Milky Way Falls Nine Heavens', as the name suggests, tens of thousands of sword intentions are like the water of the Milky Way in the sky falling, stretching, everywhere you go, everything is hidden, this sword is about an endless sense of oppression, a sword falls, and the immortals have to be convinced." Chang Gung afterimage flew into the air again, but this time it was higher than the first sword, this time the starting style was no different from the first sword, but the first sword was swung downward, and this sword was waved to the sky, only one sword, the vast sky was as if it was torn apart, thousands of sword shadows fell from the torn void, it was really like the water of the Tianhe River breaking the embankment, magnificent, endless, imposing, pressing people difficult to breathe, the sword shadow all fell on the surrounding mountains, destroyed the world in an instant, and the four high mountains were razed to the ground. It was level with the cultivation ground.

Chang Geng's afterimage slowly fell, looked at Li Ke's unbelievable appearance, and said, "My sword intent, you can comprehend it?" ”

Li Ke blinked, "The seniors' swordsmanship is superb, like a celestial, although the juniors have comprehended the moves, but with the juniors' cultivation now, they can only use the three-point strength of the first sword even if they are desperate, I am really ashamed, I am afraid that I will live up to the wishes of the seniors." ”

"It's okay, these three sword intents are already something that ordinary people can comprehend, if you can use the first sword, it means that I didn't choose the wrong person, and the second and third swords are also fine, but it takes time to precipitate." Chang Gung said with the appearance of a master looking at his beloved apprentice.

"That being the case, the younger generation Li Ke must practice diligently, and he will definitely let these three swords be born in this world in his lifetime, and he will not bury the name of the ancestor sword immortal in vain." Li Ke responded.

The Chang Geng remnant looked at Li Ke, nodded, and said: "Since you have comprehended the moves and sword intent, then I will pass on two more things to you, one is the 'Qinglian Qi Transformation Technique', this is the secret book for cultivating internal strength, as long as you cultivate to the third layer, it is not difficult to use this second sword, and if you cultivate to the seventh layer of the highest level, these three swords will be at ease; 'Mind Attraction Technique', this is the secret of cultivating the mind, this heart trick has only three layers, but each layer can benefit you immensely, refining to the highest, just the mind can change the direction of things, not to mention just three swords, just like the old man is so strong, and only to the second layer. These two things are sealed by the old man in the stone that you have pillowed, and since you have obtained my true inheritance, the ban imposed by the old man will also be invalid against you, and you can break the stone and take it out. ”

"Seniors, how can we repay such a generous kindness? It's really deserved. Li Ke continued.

"How can I still be an old-timer, I will pass on all my life's work to you, is it not worthy of your master?" Chang Geng's afterimage looked at Li Ke.

Li Ke was asked like this, knelt on the ground, and said to the master.

"You are quite cheerful, in line with the old man's temperament, in this way, the old man will accept you as an apprentice, get up, good apprentice." Chang Gung was very satisfied.

"Thank you, master." Li Ke got up and looked at the afterimage, and he was very excited.

"Apprentice, don't forget your wish to be a teacher, if you meet a descendant of the Pei family, you will be assigned to be a teacher." Chang Gung said very solemnly.

"Master, apprentice remember."

"Master! Master! ....。 Before Li Ke finished speaking, the afterimage disappeared. Li Ke shouted that the master woke up from his dream.

After waking up, Li Ke looked at the surrounding environment, the bright moon was still bright, and he just thought it was a dream, but everything just now flashed back in his mind like a knife and an axe, and it was not like a dream.

Li Ke picked up the long sword and pondered for a moment, walked out of the sword pavilion, recalled the 'one sword coming from the side of the day' just now, flew in the air, and swung a sword like the afterimage, the sword intent went straight to the mountain, as in a dream, the mountain instantly left an obvious sword mark, but this sword mark was far from the dream, and it must be that his internal strength was not enough to urge this shocking sword.

Li Ke was sure that this was not a dream at this time, and everything he had just experienced was real, so he turned his gaze to the stone that was used as a pillow by himself, and walked up, the moment Li Ke reached out and touched it, the stone actually cracked out of its own lines and shattered in front of Li Ke's eyes.

After some excitement, Li Ke calmed down, looked up at the bright Chang Geng star in the sky, as if he saw the master who had just taught his sword intent, and he didn't look away for a long time, and repeatedly recalled the trick and style just now, for fear that he would forget it if he was not careful, and silently recited in his heart the last wish that Shizun Shicai had given him, and secretly made up his mind to fulfill Shizun's wish.

Li Ke was completely drowsy by this sudden opportunity, so he opened the Qinglian Qi Transformation Technique in his hand, intending to start cultivating from the first layer. The first layer is the pregnancy of the child, and the outline says: "The qi of the meridians is knotted in the dantian, and the qi is conceived with the qi, and the qi is nourished by the child, and the power of heaven and earth is connected to become the source of vitality." Li Ke followed the program and cultivation method to run the first layer around his body, the place of the dantian is indeed scorching, if there are thousands of forces about to gush out, Li Ke did not dare to slack off, continued to run a few times, sure enough, those chaotic true qi in the dantian seemed to settle down, converged into a ball, forming a seed that could absorb everything, majestic.

Li Ke felt the changes in his body, and felt that all the scattered true qi that he had accumulated in his limbs and hundreds of bones had been reduced to a single point, as long as he continued to cultivate, the more the qi of heaven and earth absorbed, the more the true qi would be inexhaustible.

In this way, Li Ke's first layer has been completed, and Li Ke knows that with his talent, according to the current cultivation speed, it is not difficult to cultivate to the third layer, but at this time, he still does not dare to rush for quick success, or repeatedly run the first layer to consolidate his cultivation.

As the sky became brighter, Li Ke stopped cultivating, put away the cheats, and went down the mountain to go to the mountains and seas that belonged to him. However, Li Ke was also curious about the results of this night's cultivation, so he flew into the air with his sword again, and once again used a sword to come out, sure enough, this time the sword was much smoother than before, and the operation of the true qi was completely different from before, and the sword intent swung out was also more majestic and crisp, and the sword intent fell on the side of the one drawn last night, and the length and depth of the sword marks were judged.
