On a snowy day, at the foot of Jinwu Mountain in Tenglong County, a man and a woman stood in the snow and looked at each other. The man was dressed in a purple robe, his long black hair fluttering in the wind, and he carried a sword diagonally on his back. He frowned, his eyes fixed on the snow beneath his feet.

And the woman, dressed in a red robe and waist-length green silk, looked at the man opposite with tears in her big eyes.

After a long time, the woman spoke up: "Have you really thought it through?"

The man sighed and replied softly, "Why are you so troubled? You know that you and my sect are ......."

"You just don't dare to admit it, you just run away. I won't hesitate to turn against my father for you, but what about you?" the woman interrupted the man, angrily complaining.

"Qingxue, you and I have never been at odds, and it is impossible for us to be together. You and I have known each other once, and these days, thank you for your company. Now Master is furious and orders me to go back to the mountain, and I ...... Really leaving. The man said coldly.

The woman's tears flowed out: "Yuan Xiao, how can you treat me like this...... You go, I don't want to see you again......!

The man's brows furrowed even tighter, and suddenly, he stretched out again, and he whispered, "Qingxue, I wish you happiness." Then, he pulled out the fairy sword behind his back, and the sword rose into the air, quickly disappearing into the vast snow.

The woman had tears in her eyes, looked at the back that disappeared in the distance, and muttered: "Fool, how can I ......be happy when you are gone?"

Between the vast world and the world, only the red figure remained, standing alone in the snowflakes flying in the sky, and he didn't go for a long time.

......

Now that it is spring, the spiritual power of Tianxiao and Tianyao has increased a lot after months of hard training, and the two of them already have a very high level of understanding, so the path of cultivation is smooth, and their cultivation has improved very quickly. Yu Ruijiang was very satisfied with the speed of progress of the two, but often asked the two to suspend their speed in order to consolidate the realm.

Although the cultivation went smoothly, it was a pity for Tianxiao and Tianyao that the enemy who killed his parents was never found. Li Yuanxiao was helpless, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being.

It didn't take long for the annual disciple gathering meeting of the Taiqing Sect to arrive. This year, I don't know why, Sect Master Li Yuanxiao once again personally went down the mountain to recruit apprentices. This time, the Taiqing Sect accepted a total of eight disciples.

"Two junior disciples, suspend your cultivation, and Master will let you go back to Zhuyuan. Han Mingfei came to the Wind Law Valley and shouted to Tianxiao and Tianyao. Now the mood of the two is not as low as before, so Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe no longer accompany them to the Wind Law Valley every day to cultivate.

After collecting the sword, Tianxiao and Tianyao followed Han Mingfei and walked towards the bamboo garden.

"Senior brother, what's the matter with Master? He has never asked us to go back at this time before. Tianyao asked puzzled.

Han Mingfei smiled mysteriously: "Don't ask so much, you'll know when the time comes." ”

Tianxiao and Tianyao looked at each other.

The three of them walked into the bamboo garden, Tang Junhe was standing in the courtyard, and when she saw a few people coming back, she winked at Tianxiao and Tianyao. Master Yu Ruijiang was also in the garden, and there was a shy little girl behind him.

After several people saluted Yu Ruijiang, Yu Ruijiang said to Tianxiao and Tianyao: "This is your fifth senior sister, named Zhu Xiaomin. You have to get along well in the future. With that, he turned to the little girl and said, "These two are your third senior brother and fourth senior brother He Tianxiao and He Tianyao." In the future, you and the two of them will follow the senior brother to cultivate, and you must not slack off. ”

The little girl timidly replied, "Yes, Master." Then she came to Tianxiao and Tianyao, and said shyly: "Xiaomin has seen the third senior brother and the fourth senior brother. ”

Tianxiao and Tianyao carefully looked at this young girl, she had shoulder-length hair, draped casually, and a thin twisted braid was braided next to her forehead bangs. With black sideburns, thin curved eyebrows, watery eyes, straight nose, puffy face, ruddy lips, light and curly figure, slender arms, and finely twisted waist, she was shaking her body slightly uneasily, and her big eyes looked at the two curiously.

Tianxiao and Tianyao both laughed, where did such a cute little girl come from? The two said in unison: "Hello little junior sister." ”

"Let's all go to the Valley of Wind and Rhythm together, we happen to be familiar with each other. After Yu Ruijiang finished speaking, he went back to the room.

"Master, he's really trouble-free. The big apprentice teaches the younger apprentice, and the old apprentice teaches the new apprentice. On the path to the Wind Law Valley, Tang Junhe said as he walked.

"Master, he is about to break through to the Mahayana realm, and now is a critical juncture, of course, we must seize the time to cultivate. Han Mingfei said.

"It's weird. Master hasn't accepted apprentices for many years, but in the past few years, he has been so busy with cultivation that he has accepted three apprentices for two consecutive years. After Tang Junhe finished speaking, he looked back at the three people behind him.

"Maybe it's because both of us are first-class bones, and it's also on my grandfather's face. "Heaven is good.

"Little junior sister, what is the level of the root bone at the apprenticeship meeting after you join the sect?" Tian Yao asked.

Zhu Xiaomin replied softly: "First Class ......"

"Sure enough, it's first-class again. When the master accepts apprentices, he must receive high-quality products. Tang Junhe said with a smile.

"In the past two years, the sect has also had good luck, it has accepted three first-class disciples in a row, how can other sects have this luck?" Han Mingfei was also very happy.

After a while, everyone arrived at the Valley of Wind and Law. Zhu Xiaomin also took the bamboo sword that Tianxiao and Tianyao had practiced, and under the guidance of Han Mingfei, he began his own path of cultivating immortals.

It didn't take long for Zhu Xiaomin to get acquainted with several people, not only was she no longer shy and shy, but she was also very cheerful and lively. There happened to be two senior brothers of the same age who were cultivating with her, and she felt that the life of cultivating immortals was much happier than expected.

Zhu Xiaomin especially likes the stunning scenery of the Wind Rhythm Valley. Since Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe sometimes stayed in the Bamboo Garden to cultivate, she went to Fenglu Valley with Tianxiao and Tianyao to practice swords more often.

On this day, it was only three o'clock in the morning, and Zhu Xiaomin ran out of the bamboo house with a bamboo sword, wanting to find the two senior brothers to go to Fenglu Valley. As soon as she got out of the bamboo house, she suddenly saw a person standing in the courtyard.

It turned out to be the sect leader Li Yuanxiao. He looked at Zhu Xiaomin with a smile: "Xiaomin, are you going to practice swords so early? Your two senior brothers didn't bully you, right?"

"Hello Grandpa Li. The two senior brothers are very good to me, and I am about to ask them to practice swords. It seems that Zhu Xiaomin is very familiar with Li Yuanxiao.

Hearing Li Yuanxiao's voice, Yu Ruijiang's master and apprentice all came to the bamboo garden to salute Li Yuanxiao.

After Li Yuanxiao greeted a few people, he took out a white jade box from his arms.

This scene seemed familiar, and Yu Ruijiang's eyes suddenly lit up.

opened the box, and sure enough, it was a red pill again.

"This is the Tsukidan I just refined last night, let's eat it for Xiaomin. Li Yuanxiao said to Yu Ruijiang.

Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe were even more surprised than their master, the Heart Dao Sect was too generous, even if they were both first-class bones, they didn't need to be so generous, right?

At this time, Yu Ruijiang suddenly remembered what Li Yuanxiao said to him before the apprenticeship meeting.

......

"Elder Yu, this time I went down the mountain to accept disciples, and the sect received another disciple with excellent roots. Please, if it turns out to be a first-class bone in a while, how about you take her as an apprentice?"

......

Yu Ruijiang thought for a moment and asked, "Sect Master, even if it is a disciple with first-class qualifications, within two years, my apprentice alone will use up three Zhuji Dan, other elders should not agree, right?"

Li Yuanxiao let out a long sigh and touched Zhu Xiaomin's head: "It doesn't matter." Back then, my Taiqing Sect owed Xiaomin's ancestors a favor, and now that she has joined my Taiqing Sect, it is not too much ......to give her a Zhuji Dan."

Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, Li Yuanxiao said with a little vicissitudes: "Everything is because of me. Back then, when I was still an ordinary disciple of the Taiqing Sect, I once went down the mountain to run errands, and in Yunzhou City, Tenglong County, I met a beautiful and gentle immortal cultivator. I fell in love with the woman at first sight, and privately agreed to become a Taoist couple in the future and double cultivate together. But when I returned to the sect and reported everything to the master, the master told me that the Taiqing sect was at odds with the woman's sect, and if I could persuade her to leave the sect and join the Taiqing sect, he would agree to the union between the two of us. If I insist on going my own way, I will be expelled from the school. ”

Li Yuanxiao was completely immersed in the memories, he took a deep breath, and continued: "Later, I went to Tenglong County to find her and persuade her to leave the sect, but she told me that her father was an elder in the sect. She asked me to join her in breaking away from my sect and becoming an ordinary monk, but I couldn't. I felt that there was little hope, so I swung my sword and cut off the love thread, determined not to see her again. Unexpectedly, she was disheartened because of this, and she gave up cultivating immortals. Her father was furious, but she refused to turn back, and the relationship between father and daughter broke up. Many years later, I became the Taiqing Sect Master. And the woman's father has been the sect master for many years. He always had a grudge against my Taiqing Sect because of his daughter's affairs, and was ready to take advantage of the change of master to be unfavorable to Taiqing Sect. However, due to the woman's resolute resistance, her father finally gave up. In this way, my Taiqing Sect owes her a favor. ”

Tianxiao asked: "Grandpa, what happened later, what is the relationship between that woman and Xiaomin?"

The woman broke with her father and returned to the world to start business. Later, her business became bigger, she recruited a husband, and gave birth to a son, with her surname. After her son grew up and got married, she gave birth to a daughter named Xiaomin. The woman gave up cultivating immortals and died of illness last year. Before she died, she left me a letter, asking me to join the Taiqing Sect when Xiaomin was twelve years old and cultivate well. The woman's surname is Zhu and her name is Qingxue. ”

The truth is finally revealed. It turned out that Zhu Xiaomin turned out to be the founder of Xueqing Inn - Zhu Qingxue's granddaughter! I didn't expect Li Yuanxiao and Zhu Qingxue to have such an unknown emotional entanglement back then.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh. Seeing Li Yuanxiao's lonely expression, Zhu Xiaomin comforted him obediently: "Grandpa Li, don't be sad. Grandma lived happily ever after, and grandpa treated her very well. When she left, she also walked with a smile. I think in her heart, she shouldn't have blamed you for a long time. ”

Hearing these words, Li Yuanxiao's eyes were a little red, he patted Zhu Xiaomin's head and handed Zhu Ji Dan to her: "Good." You take this pill and strive to build a foundation as soon as possible. ”

Zhu Xiaomin immediately took the Zhuji Dan, and from this day on, she also began to cultivate with the Xuantie Heavy Sword.

......

At night, Tianxiao sneaks to the Demon Hidden Cave, which is the name he gave to the cave in the Valley of Wind Law. Taking out the Sky Splitting Knife, Tianxiao continued to practice the sword curvature of the "Qingling Chapter".

Since the cultivation of immortals has been ascended to the realm of Qingling for a long time, Tianxiao is already familiar with the section of wielding a knife to comprehend the Xuanqi of heaven and earth.

Bloody Knife ,...... The blood is incomparable, and the sword is unparalleled!

Thunder Knife ,...... The sky is terrified, the thunder is furious, and the knife is crazy!

Covering the sea with a curved ,...... Over the river and the sea, the knife shows its light!

Seismic Knife ,...... The shock knife cuts the waves, and the sword is the king!

Heaven-shattering Blade ,......

Long Xiao Knife ,......

......

A smooth series of nineteen sword songs directly sent him into the late stage of demon cultivation.

Early in the morning, Tianxiao returned to his room full of joy. Tianyao, who was meditating, opened his eyes, looked at Tianxiao, who was in a good mood, and asked suspiciously: "Brother, you have been practicing swords for so many days, have you really succeeded in transferring the sword technique?"

Tianxiao was speechless for a while, he didn't know how to answer, after thinking for a long time, he replied: "Brother Yao, I can only tell you that I have a way to practice swords, but it is inconvenient for me to say the specific situation now, so I ......"

"Ha, brother, congratulations, your long-standing wish has finally come true. "Tianyao is really happy for Tianxiao.

At this moment, Zhu Xiaomin's shout came from outside the door: "Brother Tianxiao, Brother Tianyao, let's go practice swords!" Zhu Xiaomin is of the same grade as the two, so he likes to call the two brothers. Early in the morning, I came to them again to practice swords.

......

Day after day, year after year. Time flies, years fly.

In the Valley of Wind and Law, a handsome young man is dancing a sword.

"This section of the Runshui Sword Song is danced like this, your steps were too chaotic just now, and your movements were not fast enough. After the young man finished dancing, he said to a beautiful girl next to him.

"I haven't memorized this sword song yet. I'm as good as you, and I'll remember them all once I read them. The girl pouted slightly.

"You're going to give yourself reasons. Sword songs are the foundation of sword cultivation, and you can't do it if you don't memorize them. Next to him, on the big rock, sat another young man. This young man is also handsome and chic, with an extraordinary atmosphere, and his complexion is slightly darker than that of the sword-dancing youth.

The three people who practiced swords were Tianxiao, Tianyao, and Zhu Xiaomin.

Now, five years later, the three teenage children are now young people. Tianxiao and Tianyao have grown to more than eight feet, with tall figures, broad shoulders and thin waists, and their faces have long lost the immaturity of their childhood, and they look quite handsome. Zhu Xiaomin has also grown to seven feet five inches, with a beautiful face, graceful posture, and waist-length long hair, which has become the goal pursued by many male disciples in the sect, so people often run to Zhuyuan when they have nothing to do. But Zhu Xiaomin can't look down on any of them, she has a cold face towards everyone, and only when she is with her senior brothers and sisters will she regain her lively and cheerful personality.

After five years of cultivation, Tianxiao and Tianyao have reached the middle stage of harmony, while Zhu Xiaomin is in the early stage of harmony. Harmony is the last realm of the level of cultivating qi and returning the spirit, and it is also the most important realm at this level.

Harmony is interrelated and mutually restrictive. Heaven and earth are in harmony, day and night are in harmony, yin and yang are in harmony.

Those who merge are intersecting with each other and merging with each other. Wind and rain are combined, water and soil are combined, and plants and trees are combined.

The realm of harmony is the state of harmony and harmony between the soul that symbolizes the spirit and the spirit that symbolizes the body.

The sword trick in the "Harmony Chapter" is much more complicated than the "Qingling Chapter". In the Qingling stage, you only feel and absorb the aura of heaven and earth through sword dancing, and the swordsmanship focuses on the moves, and the moves are fixed; in the harmony stage, you need to reasonably allocate the spiritual power in your body to make sword moves in combination with the battle situation.

For the average disciple of the Taiqing Sect, it takes about six years to cultivate to the realm of harmony, and it takes at least more than seven years to reach the middle stage of harmony. In fact, at this speed, it was the result of Yu Ruijiang asking the three of them to slow down their cultivation speed after ascending to the realm of harmony.

When he returned to the bamboo garden after cultivating on this day, Yu Ruijiang walked out of the bamboo house and said to the three of them: "Tianxiao, Tianyao, Xiaomin, prepare well for the Taiqing Martial Arts Conference to be held in the sect next month, my disciple Yu Ruijiang, can't be too ashamed." ”

The Taiqing Sect and other major sects have such a rule, and every once in a while, they will hold a martial arts competition within the sect. The first is to test the cultivation results of the low-level disciples in the sect, and the second is to train the disciples' actual combat experience. The Taiqing martial arts meeting is held once every ten years, and it is divided into two realms: Hehe and Yuanying. In the end, the top three people can get rich rewards from the sect. Taiqing Wuhui does not look at age, only at the realm.

"I'm just in the early stage of reconciliation, and I will definitely be bullied if I go to participate in the martial arts meeting...... Master, do you really have to bear it?" Zhu Xiaomin pretended to be pitiful.

Yu Ruijiang was angry and funny: "Don't be coquettish with me." You have a good fairy sword painting, and you also practice the "Source Shadow Sword Book", and you also have the power to fight against ordinary people in the late stage of harmony. Besides, aren't many male disciples pursuing you? Where are they willing to destroy flowers?"

"Oh, Master is making fun of me! I'll just participate, but don't expect too much from me! Besides, there are two geniuses, Brother Tianxiao and Brother Tianyao, and the top two must be ours!"

Yu Ruijiang shook his head: "Taiqing martial arts will only look at the realm and not age, no matter how talented Tianxiao and Tianyao are, they are only in the middle realm of harmony." Tianxiao, Tianyao, you two must not underestimate the enemy. I don't know what the cultivation results of the disciples of the other elders are, but if you run into a disciple in the late stage of harmony, you must be careful. ”

"Yes, Master. Tianxiao and Tianyao replied in unison.

After learning that they were going to participate in the Taiqing Martial Arts Meeting, the three of them cultivated harder and harder. But no matter how tired he was, Tianxiao insisted on going to the Demon Hidden Cave every night to practice his sword. On the way to cultivating demons, Tianxiao seems to be in the middle stage of harmony, and the cultivation time is short, but it is the same as the progress of cultivating immortals, which shows the excellent quality of the Split Void Knife.

Soon, there were only three days left before the Taiqing Martial Arts Meeting. On this day, all the disciples of the Hehe and Yuanying realms in the sect gathered in the courtyard in front of the main hall, waiting for the elders to announce the results of the martial arts meeting's lottery grouping.

The Taiqing Martial Arts will be held on the five battle platforms first, and then move to the main battle platform when the most important matches are played. Five battle platforms and one main battle platform are actually six peaks, according to legend, the Taiqing Sword Immortal used the Chengying Immortal Sword to cut off the peak of the peak, forming five small and one large six platforms, the largest platform is in the middle, and the other five platforms surround the middle platform into a plum blossom shape. According to the gods of the five elements, the five battle platforms are named Beishui, Jumang, Gonggong, Zhurong, and Houtu, and the main battle platform is named Yanhuang.

After a while, Li Yuanxiao and the elders all walked out of the Hall of Morality. Li Yuanxiao held a scroll in his hand, which was more than three zhang long after unfolding, and hung horizontally on the two pillars in front of the temple gate. Then he announced to everyone: "Now my Taiqing Sect, there are thirty-five disciples of the Hehe realm, and sixty-six disciples of the Yuanying realm, but two disciples of the Hehe realm were injured, one is about to break through to the Yuanying realm, and two other disciples of the Yuanying realm have not returned from the mountain to do things, therefore, the participants of the Taiqing martial arts meeting are thirty-two people in the Hehe realm, and sixty-four people in the Yuanying realm, which is exactly the number of two or two, so the one-on-one elimination system is adopted. The venue and the results of the draw are all on this picture scroll, and everyone can check it for themselves. ”

All the disciples looked at the scroll, looking for their names.

"On April 12th, when I was in the middle of the day, I wish Rong Zhantai, He Tianxiao ......" After Tianxiao found his name, he frowned slightly and said to himself, "I didn't expect that my opponent in the first round turned out to be his ......"
