Chapter 45: Shangyang Zhenqi
Zhang Yu has insisted on practicing the bamboo sword these days, even if he doesn't use Xia Jian, he can use the heart lake induction a little, not to mention that now this magic weapon is still beside him, and his senses are extremely keen.
After noticing the abnormality, he did not rush in, but thought for a while before saying to the two assistants, "You can go back to the town and wait for me first." ”
The two assistants obviously knew the situation, listened to his orders, did not hesitate for a minute, hugged their fists, turned the horse's head, and returned to Xiaoshan Town.
Zhang Yu took out a bone whistle with a string from his coat pocket and wrapped it around his left wrist.
This is the item used to communicate between him, Cai Yu and others, and it is made of the leg bones of a crane-like monster, and once it is aroused, it can transmit the sound over a very long distance, so that they can hear each other.
He rolled over and dismounted, drove the horse away a bit, then stretched out his hands, slowly put on his hat, held the Xia sword, and walked into the ruins.
Only then did he feel an unusually cold and tyrannical aura appear in the ruins, and it was full of wildness. After fighting with Su Kuang, he knew that the breath and emotions reflected in the heart lake could intuitively reflect a certain characteristic of the opponent.
Therefore, he judged in his heart that the other party might be a powerful beast, or simply a spiritual creature.
It's just that the strange thing here is that the aura only exploded for a short moment and then disappeared. However, he had already memorized where it was, so he did not hesitate to walk there.
He moved extremely quickly, and it didn't take long to get to the point where Fang Cai's aura appeared.
In front of him was a half-collapsed building, which was very large in size, and although a long time had passed, many marble columns still stood tenaciously in place, and the exquisite frescoes on the walls were still faintly recognizable.
It's just that there isn't anything else in the horizon other than that.
Haven't you already left here?
He stepped on the broken stone steps and walked in, just when he stepped over a high wall, he suddenly realized that there was a pause under his feet, Huo Ran looked back, and saw a thick python climbing there, its head was resting on the wall, and two vertical pupils were staring at him.
He just watched quietly and didn't react violently, because the python was already dead, and there was no sign of life on its body, only a ray of colorful light slowly drifted away, which was enough to show that this was a spiritual creature.
He could see that the python had died not long ago, and it had been killed in an instant, and not only that, but its bodily functions had also been destroyed at the same time, and it was still preserving the appearance in front of it, without any signs of struggling and writhing.
It's just that......
And where is the man who killed the monster?
Just as he was turning his mind to this, a sense of danger suddenly rose in his heart, and it came from the other side of the opposite wall.
He immediately stepped back, and saw an arc of light flash, like slicing tofu, across the hard stone wall. Then the entire tall stone wall fell to his place.
He hurried back and waved his hand to scatter the falling rubble from the top.
Bang!
The stone wall fell to the ground, and the broken cut could be seen as smooth and smooth.
There was a loud roar, and several foreign objects shot at him from the dust.
Zhang Yu's gaze froze, and the seal of "Minsi" was instantly triggered in his heart, and in an instant, everything in the outside world seemed to slow down.
He could see that they were just small stones, but the power on them was extremely strong.
He did not draw his sword, but raised the scabbard, and calmly waved his arms in front of him, and knocked them out one by one.
Rumble!
This time the sound came from the right direction, and a large section of broken stone pillars smashed through the stone wall full of gaps, and flew towards him with unabated momentum.
He still didn't dodge, the mark of "Zhuangsheng" on his body was excited, and his strength rose a few points, he reached out and stepped forward, gently pressed the huge stone pillar that flew in, and moved it to the side.
He knew that this was not the end, so he lowered his body slightly, kept his center of gravity and stepped back, while the other hand grasped the hilt of the sword, and his eyes stared ahead.
A little light flashed through the dust, and ran straight for where he was!
He inhaled, then drew his sword out of its sheath, and a sword light slashed at the attacking silver light with great precision, only to hear a crisp resonance, and the flying thing was bounced into the sky under the force of the collision.
As the light from above shines through, its true face is clearly reflected.
It's a long sword!
As soon as he looked up, through the collapsed huge wall, there was a relatively intact stone pillar behind him, and a tall and tall man with long eyebrows and sideburns was standing at the top at this moment.
He watched the long sword that was bounced towards him, glanced at it, calmly reached out to hold it, and then threw it again, letting it fall into the scabbard behind him with a "clang".
He smiled slightly and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, you have good skills, I haven't seen you for a few years, it seems that you have also learned a lot from Xuan Xiu." ”
Zhang Yu stood up straight, put his sword into the sheath, and didn't seem to be surprised by the appearance of the other party, and said, "Senior Brother Tao, it's really you, didn't you follow the teacher, why did you come here?"
The other party was his senior brother when he was studying with his old teacher, his name was Tao Dingfu, and the relationship between the two of them was not bad before.
In fact, he had just guessed, because there was no killing intent in the opponent's sword momentum, it was just a pure temptation, and he tested his reaction, speed, strength and eyesight respectively, and he was very familiar with this style.
The peach charm jumped down from above, his clothes fluttered, and when he landed, his toes were light, without making a sound, and the whole person seemed to be as light as a feather.
He stepped forward and said, "The teacher has left here." ”
Zhang Yudao: "Get out of here?"
Tao Dingfu said: "Don't ask me, I don't know where the teacher went, but unfortunately, the teacher didn't pass on the next way of cultivation to me, just let me find it myself." ”
Zhang Yu didn't feel that there were many accidents, the practice of the old law was like this, it was all up to you to find it, and it would not explain the reason to you, if you could find it, you would find it, and if you couldn't find it, it was your lack of chance.
Tao Dingfu waved his sleeves at this time, and a scorching breath spread, and the masonry between the two suddenly burned, and the fire rose more than one person high, but the fire was limited to three feet.
When Zhang Yu saw this, his eyes were slightly colored, and he said, "True Fire Refining Furnace?" He looked up, "Senior Brother Tao, have you practiced the 'Shangyang Zhenqi' that the teacher passed on to you?"
Tao Dingfu looked at the fire and said, "Although I have practiced, there is no next step of the exercise, so I will stop here, so I think about it, and I can only come to you for help." ”
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Senior brother, how do you want me to help?"
Tao Dingfu said: "Senior brother, you should know about the battle sixty years ago, right? Xuan Xiu suffered heavy casualties in that battle, but you may not know that several of my predecessors in Zhenxiu also died there, and one of the seniors with the Dao name 'Suyang' was good at my 'Shangyang Zhenqi', and his remains should have fallen in the boundless jungle." ”
Zhang Yu suddenly understood and said, "So Senior Brother wants me to help you find the remains of this Suyang senior?"
Tao Dingfu said: "Our true cultivation pays attention to the fate method, and the exercises I practice happen to be the same as this senior, so I want to look for it and see if I can find an opportunity there." ”
He looked at Zhang Yu and said: "Senior brother, I know that you are studying 'ancient naturalism', and you also know a lot of barbaric languages, this time senior brother, I will ask you once, no matter whether you can find an opportunity in the end, you can promise to do three things for you." ”
Zhang Yu was about to speak, when the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from afar.
Tao Dingfu said: "Someone is here, this thing is for you, and if you encounter difficulties, look for me." As he spoke, he waved his sleeve and threw something at him.
Zhang Yu caught it and found that it was also a bone whistle, and when he looked at it again, there was no figure of Tao Dingfu in front of him.
He stood still, thoughtful.
He knows this Senior Brother Tao very well, who has followed his teacher for more than 20 years, but he is also contaminated with the style of the teacher who only speaks half of what he says, and the other half understands by himself.
There are three things that can help him, and this will not be gratuitous, it should be a hint that there is some kind of danger in his trip or simply around him.
In that case, it's time to be extra careful along the way.
The thought turned, and he put the bone whistle away and walked out with his sword.
