14 Chapter 14
The disciples took turns to keep vigil, and the night was finally peaceful, nothing happened, and the next morning, everyone was in good spirits and embarked on a journey to explore the secret realm again.
Xue Yan was shocked and smashed two swords in a row, feeling that the power in his body didn't seem to be quite right, and he was very cautious with this borrowed sword at this time, but fortunately, with some experience, the sword was still intact after solving a few monsters.
The more you go to the center of the secret realm, the more dangerous it is, everyone has gone through some experience, and they have grown a lot, after all, they are disciples taught by famous sects, and all they lack is experience. If they encounter the kind of bear monster they had when they first came, they would be able to encircle and strangle them without Xue Yan's suggestion.
However, seeing that it has been more than half a month since entering the secret realm, and they haven't even seen the outline of the Ten Thousand Swords Palace, everyone is inevitably a little frustrated, not because of how far the road is, but because they have to stop and stop all the way, they have to fight against monsters, they need to stop and heal when they are injured, they need to meditate and recover when they are tired, and they are chased by monsters from time to time to deviate from the direction.
Fortunately, things took a turn for the better on this day, and the group rested by the river, chatting in twos and threes, exchanging their own food, and suddenly someone shouted loudly, saying that Song Ming was gone.
Everyone hurriedly asked, "Where did you go?" ”
The person who spoke was helpless: "If I knew where I went, I wouldn't say he was gone!" ”
Everyone hurriedly got up to help find someone, just now Song Ming didn't want to get too close to Xue Yanjing, so he pulled his friend to sit a little farther away, and no one really noticed when he disappeared.
According to friends, Song Ming had been sitting in front of him just now, and he just looked up and drank saliva, and found that the person who was still sitting next to him just now was gone.
The surrounding field of vision was wide, and it was unlikely that there would be a monster approaching without everyone knowing, and everyone quickly locked their eyes on the river in front of them, and when they surrounded them, they saw that Xue Yanjing was already standing by the river with his sword, and he was looking down at something.
"Senior Sister Xue, what ......do you see?"
"Watch your step!" Before the man had finished speaking, he felt that something was holding his ankle, and he was suddenly dragged into the river with a strong force.
The crowd screamed, "What?!" ”
"I seem to see a figure on the river!"
Before everyone could figure out what was going on, the sword in Xue Yan's hand was already unsheathed, and the cyan streamer flashed back on the surface of the river.
The disciple who had just been almost dragged down the river fell to the grass, looking down at his ankle in a daze, with a circle of dark blue hair wrapped around it, and there was a strong force at the other end of the river just now, but it was empty at this time, and this person had the courage to try to drag the long hair, and dragged it up for a long time.
"There's a water ghost in the river!"
Someone took a closer look at the strand of hair: "It's not a water ghost, it's a river demon." ”
Everyone stared curiously at the whole long hair that had been cut off against the scalp, and couldn't help but look at Xue Yan in surprise.
"Thank you," the disciple who was almost dragged down the river reacted and hurriedly thanked her, "However, I thought you would cut the hair on my ankles, how did you come up with the idea of cutting the scalp of the river demon?" ”
"What are I doing with my scalp shaping?" Xue Yanjing couldn't understand what was going on in the minds of this group of people, "I cut off its head, and it just hid quickly." ”
“……”
"What now? Was Song Ming's kid arrested? ”
Everyone subconsciously looked at Xue Yanshu, as if she had become the leader of everyone in just one day, but she shook her head: "Don't look at me, I can't swim." ”
The disciples of the Xuantian Sect were also angry, and when they heard this, several people who knew how to water did not hesitate and jumped down.
They soon met the owner of the hair at the bottom of the river.
The river demon had a human-like appearance, with long seaweed-like hair fluttering in the water, and if you ignore the bald one, it is quite beautiful, but the eyes full of malice glow red, making everyone feel an indescribable fear, as if the soul is about to be taken by it. However, the successful settlement of some monsters along the way has somewhat boosted everyone's courage, and at this time, they no longer only think about escaping, and they have drawn their swords to prepare to defend against the enemy.
Seeing that he couldn't shock everyone, the light in his eyes changed, and then it turned into blue light, followed by purple light, and then green light......
"......" Everyone fell into a suspicious silence, originally the river demon's eyes were very scary when they glowed red, but as a result, the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple flashed in this way, which was a little funny, and everyone couldn't help but stare in anticipation, wanting to see what color it could change.
Xue Yan was shocked on the shore and reminded: "Don't look at it, go on, if you delay any longer, Song Ming will suffocate to death." ”
Everyone woke up like a dream, and rushed forward with their swords, this sword, everyone realized that something was wrong, their movements were slowed down underwater, and the river demon moved freely, and after a few twists, he dodged the attack, and turned around and continued to stare at everyone with his colorful eyes.
At first, everyone didn't understand why it came from this affectionate gaze, but after a while, a disciple with weaker willpower had already taken off his long sword, and the whole person lost consciousness and slid to the bottom of the river.
The rest of the people were shocked and hurriedly attacked the river demon, but they were not adapted to the speed underwater, and wanted to predict the position where the river demon was hiding to attack, but they were tricked by the other party.
The remaining disciples who couldn't know how to water gathered around the river to shout and cheer, and when they saw this scene, they immediately became impatient, and everyone came up with their own tricks, and some even poured half a bowl of stinky tofu into the river that they hadn't finished.
"What do you do?" Others wondered.
"Let's see if we can smoke the river demon out."
“……”
Xue Yan stared at this person deeply, and after a moment remembered what he was about to ask: "How did you catch fish before?" ”
"Fishing? You mean...... Draw a gourd like the same and fish up this river demon? Will this work? ”
Xue Yan pointed to the bottom of the river in surprise: "Do you see its long flowing hair?" ”
"See," the disciple beside her nodded, "it's beautiful, like seaweed." ”
“…… Pull the hair and pull the person up. ”
"Okay!" Everyone said to do it, rolled up their sleeves and was about to go into the water to catch the river demon, the process went unexpectedly smoothly, the river demon probably had never received such treatment, and was very dazed. In order to prevent it from continuing to deceive people's minds, someone prepared a wooden barrel, and as soon as the river demon was carried out of the water, it was carried out by a wooden barrel, and its entire head was detained inside.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so disrespectful to you," someone squatted in front of it, "Don't struggle, tell us where Song Ming is hiding first." ”
“……”
The river demon struggled desperately, his hands and feet were held down by everyone, I don't know if its ability was weakened after it reached the shore, or if it had no means of attack other than demagogy, and for a while it was in a stalemate with the disciples, trying to poke out the filaments from under the barrel to tie up everyone, and someone took scissors and cut it along the edge of the barrel, and changed to a new hairstyle with neat edges. Eventually, everyone realized that it couldn't speak at all, and it didn't understand what everyone was talking about, and the torture ended in vain.
In short, after a game that even Xue Yan couldn't bear to look at, good news came from the bottom of the river: "We have found Song Ming!" ”
Song Ming was dug out of the sediment at the bottom of the river.
He choked on water for too long, closed his eyes tightly at this time, unconscious, and the others were a little at a loss, Xue Yan was helpless to take over: "Let me see." ”
Seeing her coming, everyone subconsciously retreated, and relieved to take care of the other disciples who were stunned by the river demon, they didn't know when they had such a realization, as if as long as she took over, the matter would definitely be solved.
Xue Yan's fingers contained spiritual power, and he focused on several acupoints on Song Ming's chest, forcibly using his own spiritual energy to guide the spiritual power in the other party's body, and when he saw that he had a reaction, he slapped his palm on his chest, making him vomit water.
Song Ming opened his eyes and found that he was still alive, and cried with joy.
immediately found that it was Xue Yanjing who saved him, and he couldn't help but cry bitterly while holding his purse.
The others fished out a small clam from the bottom of the river, and according to it, it was imprisoned by the river demon and forced to produce pearls for it. After the little clam spirit was rescued, he saw the river demon who had been ravaged on the grass by the river, and took a step back in horror, almost thinking that he had just come out of the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den.
The group couldn't help the little mussel spirit struggle, and enthusiastically sent it home, and the mussel spirit family was grateful, and they began to vomit at everyone.
"......" everyone is confused, what kind of novel way is this grateful?
Someone excitedly said: "Pearls, they want to spit pearls for us!" ”
An honest man waved his hand and said, "You don't have to thank you so much, just raise your hand ......"
Before the words fell, the shells of the mussels opened and spit out many transparent bubbles that were one person high.
“……”
Everyone looked at the transparent bubbles that glowed in the sunlight, and it was very incomprehensible.
The little clam spirit tried hard to fan the shell and communicate with Xue Yanjing, but fortunately, the latter quickly understood what it meant, and tentatively stretched out his hand to the transparent bubble.
As her palms pierced through the membrane, bubbles wrapped around her, enveloping her entirely, the gift of mussel spirit looking beautiful and fragile, but it could hold her float in the air.
Everyone suddenly found it interesting and entered the bubble one after another.
The bubbles wrapped them in the air and floated towards the center of the secret realm, and everyone hurriedly waved goodbye to the Bengjing family.
This bubble seemed to help the cultivators hide their aura, and all the monsters they encountered along the way turned a blind eye to them. This feeling was really wonderful, as if being hit by a pie falling from the sky, everyone danced excitedly, and even Elder Jiang, who was following behind, couldn't help but smile and said, "Good guy, they actually found a shortcut." ”
In just one day, the disciples floating in the air saw the golden glazed tiles on the roof of the Ten Thousand Swords Palace from a distance.
It is sunset when you arrive, the flying pavilion of Wanjian Palace is heavy, the buildings are even que, majestic and majestic, the momentum is magnificent, the scenery under the sunset can be called magnificent, only from the little mottled traces on the vermilion palace wall, you can glimpse the colorful years. Who built this palace is no longer known in ancient books, and everyone only feels as if it has been standing here since ancient times.
The group walked up the white jade steps and stopped at the entrance of the main hall.
There are no dangers along the way, but everyone knows that what they have to face after entering the Ten Thousand Swords Palace is the real challenge, and they can't help but feel a little dignified after being happy.
The leader of the team had already reminded everyone in the Ten Thousand Swords Palace to separate and go to their own opportunities, and everyone had already prepared in their hearts, but when they finally faced this moment of separation, they couldn't help but panic in their hearts.
As they were saying some encouraging words to each other, a group of cultivators arrived behind them, and Wen Sheng proposed, "If you fellow Daoists don't plan to go in, can you let us go first?" ”
The people of Xuantian Sect were not unreasonable, and they knew that they had blocked the door, so they hurriedly turned sideways and gave way: "Please." ”
"Thank you."
Xue Yan watched in surprise as this group of cultivators with slightly sparse hair passed by everyone with an abacus, and couldn't help but wonder, "Is this a new sect?" ”
Song Ming looked back and found that everyone was crowded aside to make way, but at this moment, only he happened to be standing beside her and heard this question, so he could only reluctantly answer to her: "Well, what has emerged in recent years, it is said that the head of the family was originally a bookkeeper in the mortal world. I wanted to say a perfunctory word, but seeing that Xue Yan's face was still full of curiosity, his whole face was wrinkled, and he added, "This sect relies on arithmetic to realize the Tao, and I tried to understand their Taoism out of curiosity." ”
"How?"
Song Ming shook his head inexplicably: "I can only say that for the first time in my life, I feel that I am a stupid person." ”
Xue Yan glanced at him in surprise: "The first time in my life?" ”
“…… What do you mean? ”
With this episode, everyone in the Xuantian Sect was embarrassed to continue to block the door, gave each other a firm look, and stepped into the gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Palace one after another.
