Chapter Ninety-Three: The Five Phases Maze

The man in green covered his hands, the tray and teapot were gone, and a stack of books appeared in his palm.

"This is the "Hua Ling Sword Book", a set of five volumes, divided into "Root Spirit Sword Method", "Dry Spirit Sword Method", "Branch Spirit Sword Method", "Ye Ling Sword Method", "Flower Spirit Sword Method", is my whim when drinking 'Five Wood Spirit Tea', although there are not many moves but very exquisite. The five spirits of the wood, the flower is supported by the leaf, the leaf is born from the branch, the branch is divided by the stem, the stem grows from the root, and the root is raised by the flower. Therefore, there is a mutual restraint between the five sets of swordsmanship, "Root Spirit Sword Method" and "Dry Spirit Sword Method", "Dry Spirit Sword Method" and "Branch Spirit Sword Method", and so on, the five spirit cycle. Now the five of you will practice this set of swordsmanship separately according to the tea you just drunk. There aren't many moves, and with your strength, it should be easy to learn. The man talked in detail about the relationship between the five sets of swordsmanship in the "Hualing Sword Book".

Miao Haoshang took the "Root Spirit Sword Technique" and found that the book was only a few pages, and he flipped through it at will, and each move in it was accompanied by a drawing, and if he practiced according to the picture, it would not take long to master it. "Xingjun, what will happen after you learn it?" he asked, puzzled.

The man in green smiled slightly, and said flatly, "I'll know when the time comes." ”

Miao Haoshang took a cursory look and found that there are only five styles in the "Root Spirit Sword Technique", namely: rooting and breaking the soil, deep roots and long beards, scattered roots in all directions, roots for hundreds of miles, and ten thousand trees with roots. The whole set of swordsmanship is from simple to complex, magnificent and magnificent, which is in line with Miao Haoshang's rough sword style, and suddenly, he was attracted by the exquisite swordsmanship, and compared it while reading the book.

The mocking wind is the "Dry Spirit Sword Method", which is also divided into five styles: straight dry and rushing into the sky, iron dry splitting the wind, dry and strong to shake the sky, dry forest comparison, dry clouds covering the sun. Although Mock Wind doesn't know much about swordsmanship, he can also see the fierceness of this swordsmanship. Coincidentally, the exercise of mocking the wind is also a mighty way, "Dry Spirit Sword Technique", which is exactly what I want.

"Branch Spirit Sword Technique" is in Jiang Huangu's hands. The five styles of this swordsmanship are: branches and branches, chaotic branches, staggered branches, branches into crowns, and branches with the same qi. This set of swordsmanship is relatively soft, and it pays attention to the speed that is as fast as electricity. Jiang Huangu danced a few times according to the picture in the book, and felt very comfortable.

Helian Xin watched "Ye Ling Swordsmanship". A leaf obscure, the leaf is as green as jade, the fluffy leaf is like a cloud, the leaf is thick and covers the sky, and the fallen leaves are all over the sky, each style is as ethereal as a cloud, as smooth as flowing water.

The last "Flower Spirit Swordsmanship" is in the hands of Huangfu Yu, and the five-style swordsmanship is: flower buds are about to bloom, flowers are blooming, flowers are blooming, flowers are overflowing, and the remnants of flowers are exhausted, among which the moves are soft and light, which is a set of feminine swordsmanship.

Since there are only moves in the book, and there are no formulas, it is very simple to learn in the realm of cultivation of the five people, and within a moment, all five people have memorized it.

"This set of swordsmanship is indeed exquisite. I don't know what test Xingjun has?" asked Huangfu Yu.

The man in green raised his right hand, and the swordsmanship books in the hands of the five people disappeared, and a curtain suddenly hung down from the ceiling on the right side of the room, dividing the room into two. When everyone looked back at the man in green, the tray and teapot from earlier appeared in his hand again, and a wooden sword appeared on the ground in front of everyone.

"You hold down the hole at the bottom of the pot and pour out a cup of tea, choose one of the five holes, and I will use the corresponding five spirit swordsmanship to fight with you, and the undefeated person who can pick me up for twenty-five moves will pass the test. The man stood up and said, "But there is one thing, you must also use the Five Spirit Sword Technique you just learned, otherwise you will lose." ”

The conditions were harsh, and everyone frowned. Although the Five Spirits Sword Technique is exquisite, each person has only learned five moves, how can a beginner who learns the moves compete with the ancestor who created this set of sword techniques?

As if sensing everyone's hesitation, the man in green smiled faintly: "It's just twenty-five moves." ”

"The five sets of swordsmanship in the "Hualing Sword Book" are cyclically restrained, what will happen if they are not mutually restrained? For example, what is the result of the "Flower Spirit Sword Technique" and the "Dry Spirit Sword Technique"?" Jiang Huangu asked.

The man in green replied: "Each set of swordsmanship only restrains one set of swordsmanship, and will only be restrained by another set of swordsmanship, if there is no relationship between gram and restraint, then the two sets of swordsmanship are evenly matched, and the outcome depends on the user's ability." ”

Now it's clear, it's still the word "luck". If you're lucky, the swordsmanship you use to defeat the swordsmanship of Xingjun, it shouldn't be difficult to survive twenty-five moves. If you are unfortunate enough to be restrained by Xingjun's swordsmanship, it is estimated that it will not be easy to go through a few moves.

"To be fair, come to this side of the curtain in turn. The man in green lifted the curtains, "Who's going first?"

Mocking Feng took a deep breath, picked up the wooden sword and got up: "I!" He was not good at using the sword, and he felt that he had little hope, so he simply let it go.

The curtain fell, mocking wind picked up the teapot and probed it with his palm, and sure enough, there were five small holes at the bottom of the pot. He plugged the nearest hole with his index finger and poured the pot, filling a cup with a faint yellow tea.

"Gen Ling Tea!" mocked Feng secretly exclaimed in his heart, and then smiled bitterly, "It's really unlucky......

The man in green picked up the teacup and drank it all: "Root Spirit Sword Technique, I'm going to make a move." As soon as the words fell, his wrist flicked, and a wooden sword appeared in his hand, followed by a move of "deep roots and long beards" stabbing straight at him.

Mocking Wind hurriedly held the sword with both hands and slashed diagonally, and after blocking the stabbing blow of the man in green, he rushed forward in reverse, and attacked the man's jaw with a move of "straight to the sky".

The man took a step back and flipped his hand at the same time, and with a move of "Hundred Miles" to pick up the wooden sword of Mocking Wind, revealing the gap under the ribs.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the mocking wind jumped up, closed his fist with his left hand to protect his left ribs, and slashed down with a sword in his right hand.

The seemingly random move of the man in green "took root and broke the ground", which directly defused the attack of the mocking wind.

Then, the sword move of the mocking wind, "Dry Forest Bili", was broken by "Scattered Roots", and "Dry Clouds Covering the Sun" was blocked by "Roots and Hundred Miles...... Except for the first move, the man in green has always been on the defensive, but no matter which move mocking wind uses, he can easily defuse it.

"Sure enough, the "Root Spirit Sword Technique" is vigorous and continuous, and the "Dry Spirit Sword Technique" is strong and urgent. "But it's already twenty moves, can he beat me in five moves?"

"Twenty-one, twenty-two, I'll just step up my attacks and get him

I'm busy defending, and I'll win!" mocked wind seemed to see hope of victory.

The man in green suddenly smiled strangely, and suddenly made three moves in a row: the roots are scattered in all directions, the roots are hundreds of miles, and the roots are connected, and the tricks are connected, and the mocking wind suddenly felt that the opponent's sword moves were as turbulent and continuous as the tide of the sea, and after a period of panic, the sword in his hand had been knocked away, and the sword of the man in green was on his chest.

"Xingjun, I agreed. Although he lost, he also thanked him. He understood that the man in green had deliberately not attacked before, and he couldn't even survive a few moves if he really wanted to make a move.

The four people on the other side of the curtain couldn't see the situation at all, and the strange thing was that they couldn't even hear the slightest sound, and in the end, they only saw Mock Wind come back unharmed, but they didn't know what the result was. After the mocking wind came back, he sat cross-legged directly, closed his eyes and breathed, and everyone didn't ask him.

Miao Haoshang was the second to enter behind the curtain. The tea he poured out was a cyan "Zhiling Tea", and the "Root Spirit Sword Technique" and the "Branch Spirit Sword Technique" had no relationship with each other, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he thought that his ability to use swordsmanship would definitely not be as good as that of the man in green, he only needed to survive twenty-five moves.

As soon as he got started with the man, Miao Haoshang found that in terms of familiarity with sword moves and ability to use them, the gap between himself and Xingjun was not a little bit. The threshold of twenty-five moves is not so easy. In less than fifteen moves, Miao Haoshang was already sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to relax at all, the sword speed of "Branch Spirit Sword Technique" was extremely fast, and it was the type he was the least good at dealing with. It's a pity that at twenty-three moves, he still lost the battle.

"I really should let the fat butterfly take a good look, this is the speed!" Miao Haoshang admired in his heart and walked out of the curtain.

Next, Jiang Huangu, Helian Xin, and Huangfu Yu fought with the man in green one by one, and when Huang Fuyu came back, the man in green also followed, and the curtain behind him disappeared immediately, and the room returned to its original emptiness.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this level has passed. The man in green said, and then sat down cross-legged in front of the crowd, his figure gradually disappearing, and at the same time, another door appeared on the wall behind him.

"Has anyone won?" Helian Xin asked a few of his companions.

"It's not easy to win...... Huangfu Yu said, "Since I don't know the results of the first few levels, then don't worry about it this time, there is still the last level, let's try the last luck." ”

The crowd pushed open the door on the wall and found that they had walked out of the room and into the courtyard. At this time, it was late at night, and the bright moon was in the sky, and by the bright moonlight, the five people found that the courtyard was empty, only on the white wall not far away, there was a row of five small black doors.

"It's strange, isn't there a mountain behind the wall, what are you doing here to open five doors?" Miao Haoshang walked to the wall and pushed open the small door in the middle. Behind the door there was a path up the hill, which, strangely enough, rose to a point that did not correspond to the high mountain outside the wall.

"Huh?" Miao Haoshang exclaimed and opened a small door on the left. Behind this gate was a small river flowing slowly! The sound of gurgling water came to everyone's ears clearly.

"Phantom Array Set Phantom Array ......" Jiang Huangu shook his head and sighed, pushing open the door on the far right. Behind this gate is a dark and secluded cave, I can't see how deep it is, the breeze blows, the mouth of the cave is buzzing, and it is very crowded.

The wind opened the second door on the right, and behind it was a large dense forest, with the rustling of leaves, and only a path that winded deep into it.

Only the small door on the far left remained, and after Helian Xin pushed it open, it was a street, with houses on both sides of the road, and every room was lit up, and the whole street was brightly lit.

"Looks like we're going to have to choose our way. Mocking Wind guessed.

"Then shall we all choose one path, or shall we separate?" Helian Xin asked.

Miao Haoshang touched his chin: "It stands to reason that they should choose a path." How can we try our luck when we always go together? Guys, who chooses first?"

Jiang Huangu said: "I chose this mountain road." ”

Miao Haoshang said with a smile: "Indeed, you should choose the mountain road, first, you can exercise your fat body, and second, the mountain road does not shade the moonlight, and your bald head is just used as a lamp, haha!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, Jiang Huangu scratched his huge bald head, and pouted: "Then I will also help you choose a path, you can enter the door I opened, your lean and lean body, it is just right to drill holes." ”

"Drill a hole and drill a hole. Guys, I'll go first. Miao Haoshang said goodbye heartily and plunged into the dark shadow of the cave.

"I'm gone, good luck everyone. Jiang Huangu set foot on the mountain road.

"Two girls, I like water by nature, can I choose this door to the river?"

Helian Xin glanced at the gloomy dense forest behind the second gate on the right, and couldn't help but shudder: "Brother Mocking Wind, that forest is scary, you can give us the gate of Xiaohe." ”

Mocking Wind smiled: "Of course, then goodbye at the end." He stepped through the small door and walked out into the woods.

Only the street of the first gate on the left and the small river of the second gate remained, and Helian Xin asked Huangfuyu: "Which gate does my sister choose?"

Huangfu Yu knew that Helian Xin was less courageous, so he said, "I'll choose Xiaohe." That street is still bright, and it should be to your liking. You and I will say goodbye for now, be careful. She patted Helianxin on the shoulder and stepped through the second small door.

Helian Xin looked up at the silver-white moon ring, took a deep breath, and entered the first door. As she stepped over the small door and stepped onto the street, the five small doors on the white wall disappeared.

In the empty courtyard, a figure gradually became clear, it was a man in white who was no different from the previous four Guan Xingjun. He walked to the courtyard wall with his hands in his hands, but he passed through the wall and disappeared.

......

"This broken cave is narrow, black and tidal, if the fat butterfly comes, it will get stuck again. Miao Haoshang muttered to himself, recalling Jiang Huangu's embarrassed appearance stuck at the entrance of the stump, he couldn't help laughing. The cave was pitch black, and he could only see within ten paces ahead, but to his dismay, the cave was twisted and turned, and it was unusually narrow, and with his thin body, he could barely pass through some places. The cave was very damp, and water was dripping from the roof of the cave from time to time.

Walking and walking, the top of the cave fell sharply, Miao Haoshang had to bow his head and waist, and after walking for a distance, the top of the cave was so low that he could not stand, and he could only continue to move forward by prostrate. "Look at the hell the hell Butterfly picked for me......" he grumbled and began to crawl forward.

The cave did not continue to become narrow, but the direction twisted and turned, up and down, Miao Haoshang climbed a slope, the cave suddenly downward, he did not grasp steadily, rushed down the slippery cave wall, after a few breaths, fell into a pool.

There is a large space here, Miao Haoshang emerged from the waterhole, and if he looked closely, there were several holes in the wall not far away. He went ashore, steamed his wet clothes with spiritual power, and walked to the wall. There are four holes in the walls and a hole in the ground that goes vertically downward. "It's five more roads...... he said secretly in his heart, "or if you go down to the hole, I'll choose this." With that up to his mind, he leaped lightly into the downward hole.

After sliding down the cave for a long time, he fell into a pool of water. "Unlucky ......" The clothes that had just been steamed and dried were soaked again, and Miao Haoshang was depressed. After going ashore to re-dry his clothes, a light on the wall caught his attention.

The light comes from a hole, and in addition to this one, there are four other holes. It seems that it is time to choose the road again. The faint light attracted Miao Haoshang, and he naturally chose this cave and drilled into it.

The more he walked, the more he felt that he had chosen the right path, and not only did the cave get wider and wider, but the light also became more and more visible. He walked and walked, and began to trot, and soon the top of his head suddenly opened up, and finally came out of the hole!

Outside the cave was an upward mountain road, and Miao Haoshang faintly felt that something seemed wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he had to continue walking along the mountain road.

......

Let's talk about Jiang Huan Valley on the mountain road, he is staying at a fork. Along the way, the mountain road was not only rolling and undulating, but also had many forks in the road, and there were forks in the road, which went around and around, making him dizzy.

"Where should this go?" Jiang Huangu thought depressedly. Looking ahead, the fork in the road branched off, and when he looked back, the fork in the road made him feel irritated. Touching his bald head and looking at the moon in the sky, he made up his mind: "Okay, just go to the moon!"

Later, I don't know how long he walked, how many times he chose a fork in the road, and finally he came to a fork in the road with a difference. There are three paths at this fork, one of which descends to the left to a dense forest of black oppression. One of them is still a mountain road, winding into the distance. A path on the right also leads to the bottom of the mountain, and there is a small river not far away, which gently ripples and reflects the silver moonlight. Jiang Huangu stared at it for a long time, feeling much more comfortable, and then, he strode straight along the path to the river.

......

Mocking Wind, who chose to enter the dense forest, took off the night pearl on his forehead and gently wiped it twice, and the night pearl suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the distance of dozens of steps before and after. He didn't rush to leave, but first carefully observed the situation around him. The trees in the dense forest are dense and leafy, and when you stand on the path and look up, you can only see a glimmer of the night sky. The shadows of the trees in the distance swayed lightly in the cool breeze, mottled and swaying, layered and looming, like a terrifying demon, like a terrifying ghost. Mocking Feng thought to himself: "Helian Xin is right, this place is really gloomy. He put the Night Pearl back on his forehead and walked into the depths of the forest, following the path ahead.

Walking along the path, four forks suddenly branched out, and Mock Wind looked carefully at them one by one, but found no difference. He randomly picked the leftmost path and continued on his way. The path continued to diverge, but he chose the leftmost one. After thirty-six forks, he finally came out of the dense forest and came under a walled city. The gates were wide open, and the houses on both sides of the road were lit up. "What kind of city is this?" he entered the gate with doubts.

......

Huang Fuyu walked along the path to the river, and suddenly found a small boat floating in the river, and there were two paddles on the boat. She jumped onto the boat, untied the cable attached to the stake on the shore, and the boat drifted slowly downstream along the river.

Reflecting the bright moon and stars, the breeze blows leisurely, and the river is murmuring. Huangfu Yu simply lay in the boat with his back to the sky, looking at the bright night sky, letting the boat drift down the water, enjoying this rare tranquility.

Soon after, the hull of the ship shook slightly, and Huang Fuyu thought that the ship had docked, so he sat up. Looking around, she saw that it was the boat that had hit a rock rising in the river. From the rocks, the creek divides left and right, flowing in two different directions. After a moment's thought, she propped up the rock with her oars and steered the boat to the right.

The tributaries branched out again and again, and many times over and over again, Huangfuyu finally lost that leisure and just wanted to go ashore as soon as possible. But the river had already flowed into a canyon with towering cliffs on both sides, and she wanted to fly, but found that the mantra was out of order, and she couldn't fly at all. She realized that this must be the prohibition set by the Xuanyu Sword Immortal in the Phantom Array. I had no choice but to continue to drift by boat, and after several more diversions, the boat finally drifted to a shallow beach and stopped.

It was still in the canyon, and Huang Fuyu found a cave in the cliff not far away, and next to the cave was a gap in the cliff, which was densely wooded, and there was only a path leading to the depths. Looking at the dark entrance to the cave, she still chose the path that led to the dense forest.

......

Helian Xin walked alone on the street, feeling more and more uneasy. The houses by the roadside were all brightly lit, but she found that none of them had doors! there was not a single figure in the house, and the same was true in the streets, and everything was eerily silent.

After walking along the side street for a while, Helian Xin came to a crossroads. The other three directions are the same as the way they came, the same eerie houses, empty streets. She took a breath and continued straight on.

After a while, she came to another intersection, and she continued to go straight. The silence of the empty city made her heart furious, and she desperately wanted to leave this lifeless place. She didn't know how long she walked, but she finally saw the city gate. She hurried out of the city, and was greeted by a path up the hill.

......

It turned out that the five small doors on the back wall of Hongyun Mansion actually led to a huge and intricate maze!
