Chapter 154: A Chance Encounter in the Mountains and Fields

() After Tianxiao reached an agreement with the man in black, under the guidance of the man in black, he worked hard to cultivate every day and never slackened. There was only one thought in his heart, to take advantage of the years when the man in black had not yet ascended, to improve his cultivation realm as much as possible.

I have to say that the man in black is still quite dedicated to Tianxiao's guidance. With the guidance of the sword demon, Tianxiao naturally avoided many detours in cultivating demons. He found that the man in black seemed to be very much of a believer in the "supremacy of strength". In the eyes of the man in black, absolute strength represents everything, and those with weak strength can only be slaughtered by others. Therefore, his supervision of Tianxiao was very strict, except for meditation at night, the man in black almost kept an eye on Tianxiao to cultivate.

Tianxiao had already discovered that the place where they were was an island, and in any other direction, it was a vast sea. The weather on the island is also very strange, there is no winter or summer, and there is a cool autumn all year round. The man in black has set up a strange magic circle on the island, and Tianxiao can't leave the island at all, which is equivalent to being restricted from freedom. But he didn't care, he didn't want to go anywhere in the first place, this small island was quiet and remote, he could rest assured that he could dance and cultivate demons without worrying about being discovered.

The men in black occasionally go out at night and are bound to return to the island before dawn. Tianxiao once asked tentatively, but the man in black just coldly warned him not to meddle. Since then, Tianxiao no longer cares, and just blindly cultivates every day. The man in black was very satisfied with Tianxiao's excellent talent and diligence.

One day, after the man in black went out, he brought back a large pile of ore materials. Tianxiao knew that he was preparing to refine the magic knife. Since the man in black began to instruct Tianxiao to cultivate, Tianxiao has always used tree branches instead of knives, which is very inconvenient, but he can't summon the Splitting Sky Knife in his body.

The man in black didn't seem to even have a decent weapon, and he only had a broken sword by his side, which was not even the best among ordinary swords. Later, the man in black brought back several mortal knives, but ordinary knives were also useless, and after a little infusion of some mysterious power into the blade, the knife broke.

From the mouth of the black-clothed person, he learned that his magic knife had broken decades ago, and in order to save Xuan power, he had not refined a new knife. Now with the support of Tianxiao's Xuanqi, he is finally ready to do it.

In the days that followed, the man in black no longer went out, but focused on refining the magic knife. The refining process was relatively smooth, and soon, the two magic knives were cast.

Although it is a magic knife, Tianxiao can't see any difference from a mortal knife. The length of the two knives was slightly different, and the man in black threw the slightly longer one to Tianxiao: "Next!"

The moment Tianxiao's hand touched the hilt of the sword, a slight fluctuation came from the blade, which was the familiar fluctuation of Xuanli. Tianxiao's eyes lit up suddenly, this inconspicuous knife was indeed a magic knife, and the quality was not low. "What is the quality of this magic knife, why doesn't it glow?" Tianxiao asked curiously.

"The material is not good enough, it's just high-quality. The tone of the man in black vaguely revealed regret, and suddenly became fierce again: "Silly boy, don't forget the current situation, the magic knife glowing is an extremely dangerous thing for you. The magic knife is forged in combination with my mystical power, if it is in the Heavenly Flame Continent full of mystical energy, it may emit a faint light, but in this aura-filled Qinglong Continent, it will not shine at all. ”

"Heavenly Flame Continent?" Tianxiao's attention was focused on the word. Undoubtedly, the Heavenly Flame Continent was the name of another Demon Cultivation Continent, but it was the first time that Tianxiao had heard the man in black talk about it. "I thought it was called the 'Xuanqi Continent'. ”

"The 'sky' of 'sky', the 'flame' of 'flame'. Last time I said 'Xuanqi Continent', it was just for you to understand, the continent naturally has a name, just like this Spiritual Qi Continent is called 'Qinglong Continent'. The Man in Black explained.

"Then how did you come to the Blue Dragon Continent in the first place, why don't you go back in the same way?" Tian Xiao said the question in his heart, he had only heard the Black Sword Patriarch say before, it was the Patriarch who turned the remaining part of the soul into hundreds and fused them into the bodies of many demon cultivators, so as to help them cross the fog of the East China Sea and come to the Blue Dragon Continent.

"When I was in the Heavenly Flame Continent, I had just entered the Tribulation Period. One day, a strong and domineering mysterious force suddenly poured into my body, which directly contributed to my successful escape. After the tribulation, I learned that the mysterious power came from the legendary ancestor of the Heavenly Flame Continent's demon cultivator, the Black Sword Ancestor, and it turned out that his true body had been injured by the White Sword, the immortal cultivator of the Blue Dragon Continent. Later, along with other sword demons, I waded through the mist of the West Sea with the power of the soul left by the Black Sword Ancestor, oh, for you, it was the mist of the East Sea. It's a pity that after passing through the fog, the soul power of the Black Sword Ancestor has completely dissipated, and whether we live or die, we are destined to not be able to go back. The man in black recalled the events of that year, and his tone was very vicissitudes.

"That'...... Didn't the Black Sword Patriarch only treat you as a tool for revenge?" Tianxiao was quite puzzled in his heart, the Black Sword Patriarch knew that there was a peerless immortal sword left by the White Sword Ancestor in the Qinglong Continent, but he still let those sword demons cross the sea to fight, and he didn't even leave a way back, didn't the Black Sword Patriarch care about the life and death of the sword demons?

"Shut up!" the man in black shouted in a low voice, "The patriarch has his own arrangements, how can I and other juniors belittle him at will?" Besides, the Black Knife Patriarch created and passed down the way of demon cultivation, which is equivalent to the ancestor of the demon cultivators, and it is natural to avenge him!"

The man in black obviously admired the Black Knife Ancestor. Tianxiao did not continue to refute, but he was a little depressed in his heart. The Black Sword Patriarch let hundreds of Sword Demons come to slaughter the people of the Blue Dragon Continent, and the White Sword Patriarch set up a passage to let the sword immortals of the Yu Yu Realm slaughter the people of the Heavenly Flame Continent, could it be that in the eyes of the Supreme Venerable, the ordinary and insignificant life of the Great Red Realm is like a mustard?

"Let's try it and see if it goes well!" the man in black interrupted Tianxiao's thoughts.

Tianxiao put aside distracting thoughts and focused his attention on the magic knife in his hand. The blade is about seven feet long, with a thick back, a sharp blade, and a proper curve of the blade with a moderate weight. He pressed

Zhao Dao Qu waved it a few times, and it was really very handy. The fact that a magic knife of such quality can be cast with only ordinary materials shows that the knife casting level of the man in black is quite high. "Not bad!" said Tianxiao with satisfaction.

"Boy, from tomorrow onwards, I will teach you the sword cultivation techniques and body techniques, you have to learn them for me!" said the man in black.

Tianxiao was stunned for a moment and asked, "I didn't promise to be your apprentice, what are you doing with my exercises?" He didn't care about other sword techniques in his heart, what other sword techniques could compete with the "Yutian Sword Codex" created by the Black Sword Ancestor?

"It doesn't matter. I have no successor in my sword skills and body skills, and it's a pity not to pass on your good qualifications. I don't know what kind of sword technique your previous master passed on to you, although it is quite subtle, my sword technique is not inferior to it. As for the body, it is the most powerful support when attacking, and it is also the most useful method when escaping. In order to keep you safe, you must learn!" the man in black said in a very tough tone.

Tianxiao laughed and laughed, I really didn't expect that there were still people in the world who insisted on teaching the exercises to others. "Since there is no harm in learning, then I will promise you. "Heaven is good.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately felt a piercing pain erupt in his left ear, and the hand of the man in black was pinching it hard. "You stinky boy, you still sell it when you get cheap? I don't know how many people want to learn my sword and body skills, but I didn't agree. Now that you refuse to worship me as a teacher, I still teach you, and you still put on a reluctant appearance, deliberately trying to make me angry, right?" It can be seen that the man in black has a lot of grievances, and he decided to teach the exercises to Tianxiao, who is as stubborn as a stubborn stone, he must be very unwilling, but he is helpless.

Tianxiao's ears were reddened, and he rubbed them gently, but instead of being angry, he felt a little funny. After so many years of getting along day and night, he has figured out the temper of the man in black. The man in black has always been quite conceited about his exercises, and often mentioned the matter of letting Tianxiao apprentice, but he was rejected every time, and this time the compromise was really a helpless move in the hope that someone could inherit the exercises.

"You meditate and cultivate here, if you don't study seriously in the future, I won't be able to spare you!" The man in black put down a "cruel word" and walked out of the cave with his hands behind his back. Looking at his thin and somewhat rickety back, Tian Xiaoxin said: "I don't know what an arrogant old man is under the black cloak......

After the man in black came out of the cave, he waved the freshly cast magic knife a few times, and the sound of "woo" breaking through the air was similar to a heavy sword. "Alas, after all, it's better to 'pull out the mountain'...... It's a pity that I can't find a good casting knife material, and I didn't have time to pick it up when the mountain knife broke, or I would have smelted it again now, and it would be a good knife ......" The man in black muttered to himself. Suddenly, a thought flashed in my mind: "Yes, there is also this method, why didn't I think of it before!Heh, the timing of Tianxiao's kid is really good, God helps me, with his mysterious energy, the revenge is just around the corner...... As a thank you gift, I passed on his knife skills and body skills, and it was not a disadvantage to him......" The man in black thought, came to the beach, the wind under his feet, stepping on the sea surface one step at a time, as if he was walking leisurely, but it was a treading water god, elegant steps, rapid speed, it can really be described as Ling Bo micro step, Luo socks dust.

The island was far away from the coast, and by the bright moonlight, only the hazy outline of the Qinglong Continent on the edge of the skyline ahead could be vaguely seen.

At the speed of the man in black, it only takes a moment to reach the coast. He walked with his hands on the water, his head bowed in contemplation. Suddenly, his heart was shocked, and he secretly said "Oops", and his pace stopped suddenly, and he immediately tightened his body and sank into the sea on his side. Several movements were done in one go, leaving only two shallow whirlpools on the water, and in an instant, calm was restored.

In the sky not far away, there were two people floating and standing, one black and one white, each stepping on a flying sword.

"What's wrong?" asked the man in black.

The man in white seemed to sense something, scanned the hazy sea, and said, "I vaguely felt a trace of strange fluctuations just now, but now there is no more." ”

The man in black heard this, and observed the surroundings with the man in white, but did not notice anything unusual. After a long time, he spoke, "Are you too careful?"

The man in white replied, "I wish it ......."

The man in black had been carefully concealing his breath, lying on the bottom of the sea without moving. When he was just treading water, he had been thinking intently, not paying attention to his surroundings. Usually at midnight, no one will appear on such a remote coast. By the time he suddenly noticed that two people were flying in the air, they were already a little closer. He felt that the realm of those two people was not low, so he immediately hid in the water and blocked the operation of the mysterious power in his body.

The two men in the air didn't speak loudly, and they couldn't hear it clearly through the deep sea. Fortunately, the two didn't seem to notice the figure of the man in black, and after a short pause, they hurriedly flew away west.

After the two of them were far away, the man in black quietly surfaced from the water and breathed a sigh of relief. "I was almost found and I got wet...... "He complained in a low voice, and stepped ashore in a few steps, his power swaying, and bursts of mist spread from his body, "Those two are not low...... Why is it still in a place like this so late?"

In a moment, the seawater on his body was evaporated by the Xuan Li. "Tsk, it's really good, how many years have passed, and I can finally stop sparing Xuanli. The man in black sighed. Thinking back on these hundreds of years of forbearance, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in his heart. "If I hadn't met He Tianxiao, or if I hadn't insisted on surviving at that time...... Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled again, "Maybe I could insist on surviving at that time, just waiting to meet He Tianxiao." Who would have thought that the Taiqing Sect, a great sect of immortal cultivators, would actually have a disciple who cultivates demons? Everything is fate, how can you say it?"

At this point, a thought came to the hearts of the people in black, the two mysterious immortal cultivators who appeared inexplicably just now could it be that the masters of the Taiqing Sect were looking for He Tianxiao

This seems to explain why they are here late at night. "Fortunately, I set up a magic circle on the island, and it is not so easy to find He Tianxiao!" The magic circle laid by the man in black has a concealing effect, otherwise it will inevitably have a mysterious power fluctuation when guiding Tianxiao to practice the knife on weekdays, and it will not be good to attract others.

The man in black pulled out the magic knife in the wide sword holster on his back, and there was a scabbard on the knife. The scabbard is wide and thick, enveloping the entire blade and making it look like a bladeless heavy sword. His sword rose into the air, like an arrow off the string, and shot it to the north.

According to the plan of the man in black to travel tonight, he must first find the lone immortal cultivator. The man in black controlled the magic knife to fall in the center of a state city, closed his eyes, and spread his metaphysical knowledge to quietly investigate. He wasn't worried about being discovered by immortal cultivators who had cultivated to the top level, because he couldn't detect his metaphysical consciousness at all if he didn't reach the level of the Tribulation Realm, and the Tribulation masters generally cultivated in remote places and would not appear in the state city. Even if he is unlucky enough to be discovered, he is completely sure that he will be able to escape.

This state city is not big, and there are not many people, and the results of the investigation made the man in black very disappointed, and there was not a single immortal cultivator in the city. He retracted his knowledge and flew to the next state city. But in the vicinity of several state cities, no immortal cultivators were found, and the mood of the man in black became a little irritable.

There were no immortal cultivators in the state city, and they couldn't be too far from the coast, so it seemed that the original plan could not be implemented. This path did not work, and the man in black quickly thought of another way to find a weak sect. Having made up his mind, he turned southwest, and he remembered that on a hill in that direction, there was a small sect.

Halfway through the flight, the man in black, who had been carefully monitoring the surrounding situation, suddenly stopped the magic knife, slowly descended, and hid in a big tree.

There are people under the trees.

A bright bonfire was blazing, firewood was crackling, and three people, a man and two women, sat around the fire. The men are handsome, and the women are very handsome. Men poured wood into the fire, one woman meditated cross-legged, and the other crossed her knees and stared at the dancing flames.

There was a sword holster on the ground next to each of the three of them, and although he could only see the hilt of the sword, the man in black could feel the aura of spiritual power in the sword holster. Quietly dispersed the mysteries, and the realm of the three of them was clear at a glance, and they were all in the middle stage of emptiness.

The people in black were overjoyed, this was really "stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it took no effort to get them." "He originally planned to go to the small sect to capture a few good quality immortal swords, and after returning to the island, he re-smelted them, dissipated the spiritual power, integrated them into the Xuan power, and re-forged them into high-quality magic swords, but he happened to meet these three immortal cultivators here.

The spiritual power of the three immortal swords is quite strong, and it should be a good immortal sword, but the strength of the three immortal cultivators is not high, which is just convenient for the implementation of the plan. Three good grade immortal swords, a weak sect may not be able to take it, not to mention that it is far easier to solve three people than to eliminate one sect.

For some reason, the hand raised by the man in black was gently lowered again. Just now when he looked at the backs of the three of them, there was suddenly an inexplicable familiarity in the hearts of the black-clothed people, as if they were familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, it was a blur.

Just as the man in black hesitated, the woman looking at the bonfire spoke.

"Brother Tianyao, looking for it in this way, it doesn't seem to be much hope. If you can still listen to the news in a lively place, now you can't meet it until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the Monkey. The woman's tone was helpless with a hint of anxiety, and she continued, "It's like looking for a boulder, aimlessly." And we've only had a few years...... Alas. ”

"Tianyao!" After hearing this name, the black-clothed people suddenly realized that when they were in Jingren Village, he had witnessed the backs of the three of them leaving, and that inexplicable familiar feeling came from this. "It's good that I didn't do it blindly just now, if I hurt that stinky boy's own brother, it will be really difficult to explain it to him in the future......" The man in black secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Hua Qingyu, who was meditating, opened her eyes and comforted: "Xiaomin, don't be discouraged. A few days ago, even in the bustling state city, didn't we hear any useful news? As for the matter of the giant sword, it is even more hopeless, how much credibility do you think a storyteller's words can have?"

The man in black was about to leave, but when he heard the words "Juque Sword", he dispelled his thoughts again. "Juque Sword, it was the blade of Zhaoyue Sword Immortal Xiong Jiewu back then......" The man in black recalled in his mind the man with a scar on his face, his slightly sloppy clothes couldn't hide his cold temperament, and his brows were always slightly wrinkled, with a hint of sadness. "That's a man colder than ice...... said the man in black. Of course, he knew that the Immortal Cultivation Realm was looking for the remaining few peerless immortal swords, could it be that these three young immortal cultivators knew the clues of the giant sword?

"'The Juque Sword was hidden in the boulder by the Zhaoyue Sword Immortal', this is not very reliable news, and even the storyteller himself said that it was just a rumor, so I didn't have much hope for this at all. Tianyao said, "Brother Tianxiao has not heard from him, is there a better way than to try his luck like this? Do you remember what Senior Lu said when they were separated? He seems to have expected something, so he will let Sister Qingyu bring the Heavenly Demon Pill." We tried to find out first, and how many places we could find, but it really didn't work, so we went back a year in advance to report it. Only the five people of Brother Tianxiao's affairs know, such as Senior Lu, Senior Miao, Senior Jiang, Grandfather and Master, if Senior Lu can't get out, we can go and ask Senior Miao and Senior Jiang, with the realm of the two of them in the late Mahayana stage, it is much more efficient to find people than us. ”

The man in black understood now, the three of them knew that the clues of the giant sword were not reliable, and in addition, they were ordered by the masters of the sect to go down the mountain to find He Tianxiao. Although I don't know who the "Miao seniors and Jiang seniors" are, but thinking of the two immortal cultivators he met on the beach, the black-clothed man thought: "The two seniors you are talking about are afraid that they have already gone down the mountain." ”

Clearly, he guessed wrong.
