Chapter Sixty-Seven: Light as a Mountain
Hearing Li Yuanxiao's "Master", the middle-aged man smiled faintly: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago, am I no longer your master?" Since I entered the Mahayana realm, I left the sect, and it has been decades since I left, and now you are the Taiqing sect master, and I am just an ancestor who once taught you. 'Master', you better put it away. ”
It turned out that this mysterious Tribulation Realm Immortal Cultivator turned out to be Li Yuanxiao's master, the former Taiqing Sect Master Lu Hailong!
"Master, how dare I forget your kindness to your disciples? Since you went out on a wandering, you won't let me call you 'Master', but after you said something just now, you want to completely hide from the world, so what's the harm in letting me call you 'Master' a few more times at the end?" Li Yuanxiao said with some sadness.
"Yuan Xiao, although I instructed you to cultivate immortals, I also delayed your marriage at the beginning, and caused that girl to give up cultivating immortals in grief, even if it is worth the merits. Lu Hailong said.
"How can I blame Master for what happened back then? Later, I had a good relationship with that girl, and now her granddaughter is still cultivating immortals in the Taiqing Sect, and she is a disciple of Elder Yu. ”
"Oh, to be accepted as an apprentice by Elder Yu, it must be a good one. Does Zhu Honglie know about this?"
"Yes. Nowadays, the relationship between the Taiqing Sect and the Red Sun Sect has improved a lot. A while ago, when the six sect masters gathered in our sect for the seven-star sword, Zhu Honglie wanted to take her away. But seeing that his granddaughter was carefully cultivated by our sect, he no longer forced it. That girl was first-class, and she was Elder Yu's fifth apprentice. ”
"First-class ......" Lu Hailong thought thoughtfully, "While the demon beasts have not yet attacked, I will go back to the sect." ”
......
Lu Hailong flew alone with the sword, and his feet were not the peerless immortal sword seven stars, but the flying speed was still amazingly fast. "Grade A root bone...... Those few people will definitely become the rising stars of the Taiqing Sect in the future. Before I leave this realm, let's make a little contribution to the sect. Lu Hailong suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, "Do you still want to use the illusion technique when you see a few juniors?" Suddenly, his appearance changed, his bones crackled, and his size actually increased by a bit. The three wisps of green beard were gone, the skin gradually darkened, the eyes became larger, the bridge of the nose became higher, and in just a few breaths, he changed from an elegant middle-aged man to a big man with bright eyes and a rough and bold man. "This is who I really am!" he rolled up his long sleeves and looked at the tense muscles on his forearms, very satisfied.
When he arrived at the foot of Tiandao Mountain, Lu Hailong jumped down, collected the fairy sword, and strode towards the top of the mountain. Kicking and stepping, Lu Hailong's every step was nearly ten steps away, and it didn't look like walking, more like jumping. There are thousands of steps, and you will reach the top in a few hours. The disciples guarding the gate saw a big man in cloth from a distance, and before he came back to his senses, he found that the big man had arrived in front of the mountain gate. As soon as he wanted to ask who it was, the big man suddenly disappeared.
The disciple was startled, and walked out of the sect to take a look, but did not find the figure of the big man. He rubbed his eyes, shook his head, and said to himself, "What the hell is wrong?"
It was getting late, and the disciples of Zhuyuan were resting in their respective rooms. On the roof of the house, the figure of Lu Hailong appeared. "Yes, yes, the foundation of the six juniors is very solid. Huh? It seems that there is a person who is not practicing the Taiqing exercises. This exercise is...... Hehe, it turned out to be Hua Yimai, presumably Hua Qianxue's apprentice or grandson. He flickered and disappeared.
Han Mingfei, who was meditating, suddenly shook his body and opened his eyes, just now he actually heard a voice coming out of his heart: "Come to your master's room." "Yu Ruijiang and Hua Qianxue obviously went to Huoye Mountain, who is this person?" He immediately rushed out of the room, Tang Junhe, Tianxiao and Tianyao, Zhu Xiaomin and Hua Qingyu all pushed open the door, and everyone stood in the bamboo garden and looked at each other. The candle in Master's room was lit, and a figure could be seen inside.
"Juniors, don't panic, I'm not a wicked person. All come in. That voice rang out in everyone's hearts again.
"Looks like a master. Han Mingfei said in his heart. He beckoned to his junior brothers and sisters, and everyone entered Yu Ruijiang's bamboo house.
In the room, Lu Hailong was sitting at the table with a smile.
Han Mingfei bowed: "Senior, I don't know what is wrong with you?" Although he didn't know "spiritism", just looking at this means of sound transmission, he also knew that the big man in front of him was a top master.
"Thanks to the treasure you brought back from the Green Cloud Swamp, I was able to break through. I'm here to thank you. ”
"Ah, you are the master of the Mahayana realm of my sect!" Tianyao reacted the fastest and blurted out.
"Haha, that's right, I was still in the Mahayana realm when I got the sword. ”
"Senior, then you are ...... now Tribulation Realm?" asked Tianxiao.
Lu Hailong nodded, his gaze swept over everyone's surprised and admiring faces one by one, and finally fell on Zhu Xiaomin. "Your surname is Zhu?"
Zhu Xiaomin replied respectfully: "Exactly." ”
"Hmm. Lu Hailong nodded, and turned to Hua Qingyu again, "What is your relationship with Hua Qianxue?"
"Senior, Hua Qianxue is the family teacher. "Hua Qingyu is also the first time to see such a powerful master.
"Well, without further ado. All six of you are first-class bones, and I will give each of you a gift. A burden suddenly appeared in Lu Hailong's hand, and when he put it on the table, it made a muffled sound, it seems that the things in the burden should be very heavy. With a flick of his hand, the burden was unwrapped, revealing several brilliant gems. The gemstone is dark yellow in color, crystal clear throughout, and seems to glow slightly.
"Senior, this gem ...... It's good-looking, but what's the use?" Zhu Xiaomin asked suspiciously.
"How could our predecessors give us useless things......? Isn't it a spirit stone?" Han Mingfei had a wider range of knowledge, but he felt it
There is a condensation of heaven and earth aura in the gem, but it is not the same as the spirit stone seen before.
"This is not a spirit stone, but it is more precious than a spirit stone, this is a spirit crystal. Lu Hailong said.
The same thought came to everyone's minds: "Spirit crystal, what is that?"
Lu Hailong didn't see the expected cheers, so he asked with tears and laughter: "Don't you know what a spirit crystal is?"
"I beg my seniors to teach me. Han Mingfei said.
"Then you always know the spirit stone, right? The spirit crystal is the core of a large piece of spirit stone, which condenses the rich aura of heaven and earth, and is the ultimate treasure for rapid improvement and cultivation!"
"Oh......" The few people were still not too excited, they had never used spirit stones at all, like Tianxiao and Tianyao, they had never even seen them. It is said that it is said to "quickly improve cultivation", but how quickly it is, they have no idea in their hearts.
Lu Hailong was depressed for a while, and took out the best gift to give to the juniors, but no one had a discerning eye. "Alas, let me tell you this, with this thing, you can double the speed of your cultivation!"
With the contrast, everyone understood, and the belated admiration and joy finally broke out. Everyone asked in a gossiping voice: "Senior, doubling the cultivation speed means that you can save half of the cultivation time?" "Senior, how long can a spirit crystal last? It would be nice if it took a little longer!" "Senior, this kind of thing must be very expensive, right?" ......
Where could Lu Hailong interject, he simply smiled and said nothing. After everyone gradually quieted down, he said slowly, "The fist-sized spirit crystal is enough for you to use for several years." Increasing the cultivation speed is only an approximation, it depends on the individual's root bone qualification and diligence, you don't want to waste this heaven and earth spirit treasure. Come, one person put it away, the method of use is very simple, just hold your hands in the dantian when meditating. Remember, don't give to others. ”
"Senior, do you have to meditate all day?" asked Tianxiao.
Lu Hailong explained: "Definitely. Meditation is simply exercising mental strength while the body is resting. The soul and the spirit are complementary and need to be developed in a balanced manner. You still have to practice swords during the day, and then use spirit crystals when meditating at night, and it will have no effect if you meditate for a long time. ”
"Senior, I don't know how big the original spirit stone should be with a piece of spirit crystal of this size?" asked Han Mingfei.
"Heh, there are very few spirit stones, most of them are sporadic gravel, and they have little impact on the speed of cultivating immortals. And the spirit stones that can condense the spirit crystals must at least be allowed. To be able to produce such a fist-sized spirit crystal, the spirit stone is about the size of this room. Lu Hailong said with a smile.
Han Mingfei gasped: "It's incredible that such a big spirit stone can be found by the seniors." However, the value of the spirit crystal must be very valuable, and the younger generation does not dare to accept it rashly. ”
Hearing what the senior brother said, even if the other people liked it very much, they were embarrassed to take it, and put the spirit crystal back on the table one after another.
Lu Hailong straightened his face: "Let you take it! This is the reward you deserve!"
"However, senior, I didn't go to the Green Cloud Swamp with them last time......" Tang Junhe said.
Zhu Xiaomin also said: "I didn't go either. Seniors, Senior Brother Lu Baifeng and Senior Sister Xiao Liying went with them, why don't you give them these two spirit crystals!"
Hua Qingyu was even more embarrassed: "Senior, I'm not even a disciple of Taiqing Sect, and I haven't done anything, I deserve it, and I ask my predecessor to take it back." ”
Lu Hailong laughed heartily, got up and said, "I will give them the spirit crystals of those two." Both of you are Yu Ruijiang's disciples, and you are first-class bones, so it's not a waste to use them for you. Your name is Zhu Xiaomin, right? I once owed Zhu Qingxue, and this can be regarded as a kind of compensation. As for Hua Qingyu, your ancestor and master both have a lot of connections with my Taiqing Sect, so it doesn't hurt to give you a spirit crystal. If you have obtained this spiritual treasure, you must work hard to cultivate, and don't destroy the heavens. I'll go!" When the last three words were spoken, everyone only felt that there was a flower in front of them, a trace of wind, and Lu Hailong's figure disappeared. On the table, six crystalline spirit crystals emitted a soft light against the backdrop of the candle flame.
......
Many state cities and villages in the three counties in the western part of the Qinglong Continent were destroyed by the crazy beast herds. After the Immortal Cultivation Realm discussed the defensive countermeasures, they had already notified the remaining troops and people of the three counties, and under the cover of many immortal cultivation masters, most of them retreated to the east of the defensive line peacefully. The movement of the beast tide was even more unhindered, and in just a few days, it reached the front of the defensive line.
The defensive line was the boundary that the seven sect masters planned to defend to the death, and the immortal cultivators of all walks of life, who had already been gearing up, rushed into the group of beasts with their immortal swords. Ordinary beasts were no opponents at all, and the immortal cultivators were targeting those demon beasts. Only one of the eight types of demon beasts is a bird, and the immortal cultivator specially divides a force to take the sword into the air to deal with all kinds of demon eagles. The other seven types of demon beasts were all beasts, so the immortal cultivators laid out various formations to prevent the demon beasts from sneaking off. With the concerted efforts of the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm, the momentum of the beast herd's eastward advance stopped.
Strange to say, the beasts were like regular armies, and in the face of the attack of the immortal cultivators, the beasts retreated in an orderly manner, and the demon beasts quickly rose to the top and fought with the immortal cultivators. The demon beasts that are comparable to the immortal cultivators of the Cave Void and the Silent Annihilation Realm gather more and more, and often several besiege an immortal cultivator, even if the immortal cultivator has three heads and six arms, he is not able to withstand such a fierce attack, and for a while, the casualties are relatively heavy.
Huoye Mountain, inside the Rongyang Sect. Yu Ruijiang rushed into the main hall, and Li Yuanxiao was discussing something with a few people. Yu Ruijiang knew all these people, they were the former elders of the Taiqing Sect, and they were the masters of the Mahayana period who left the sect and traveled to protect the sect. Although they are all seniors, the matter is urgent, and Yu Ruijiang didn't have time to salute everyone, so he just hugged his fists slightly and said hurriedly: "Sect Master, the demon wolves are attacking in a big way, and there are many casualties among the disciples of my sect, so be sure."
Hurry up and send more experts to support!"
"Demon wolf pack, why are the demon beasts still gathered according to the type?" Li Yuanxiao was very surprised, when the demon beasts came to attack before, they were all mixed dragons and snakes, and there were all kinds of them, after all, the spiritual intelligence was limited, and although the attack was sharp, there was no order.
"Yes, this time the demon beast group is different from the past, it is gathered according to the type, the advance and retreat are orderly, and it is not easy to deal with. ”
"There is a tacit understanding between the same kind of demon beasts, and this matter is probably not good. I went down the hill with Lao Lu and the 'fat butterfly'. A skinny young man said. He has a baby face, short broken hair, a pale complexion, and a cunning light in his eyes from time to time, how to look like a naughty teenager. The most striking thing was the sword holster on his back, which was wide and long, extremely disproportionate to his stature. It can be seen that there is a heavy sword in the sword holster. This person's surname is Miao Haoshang, don't look at his young appearance, but he is in the late Mahayana realm, except for Lu Hailong, he is the highest cultivator.
"Don't call me a 'fat butterfly', it's too ugly!" said a bald-headed strong man. He was nine feet tall, with a very majestic figure, a shiny head, sparse eyebrows, no beard, and a huge head that was so smooth that it made people want to laugh. What's even funnier is that such a strong figure actually carried a sword holster that couldn't be thinner, and the thin hilt was exposed on his shoulders like a tree branch. If you know his name, you won't think he's funny anymore, his name is Jiang Huangu, and he is a famous sword master in the Taiqing Sect. Don't look at him, he is a tiger's back, but his pace is very light when he fights, so Miao Hao businessmen jokingly call him "fat butterfly".
Miao and Jiang were originally brothers, Miao Hao Shang entered the sect for three years before Jiang Huangu, and later the two of them successively ascended to the Mahayana realm, so they traveled out of the sect together. Now they are all in the late Mahayana stage, and their strength is almost the same. Miao Haoshang has always regarded himself as a "senior brother", and Jiang Huangu has always respected him. These two people, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, are the famous "light man like a mountain" combination of Taiqing Sect in the past. It's funny to say, among them, "Qingman" refers to Jiang Huangu, who is as strong as an ox, and "Rushan" refers to Miao Haoshang, who looks weak and unwinded.
Lu Hailong, Miao Haoshang, and Jiang Huangu flew down the Fire Leaf Mountain with their swords. The time of the Great War was extraordinary, and there was no need to follow the rules of walking down the mountain. Lu Hailong glanced at the two people beside him, the immortal sword under Miao Haoshang's feet was long and wide, the sword body was extremely thick, and the whole body was jet black, exuding a dark golden light. The immortal sword at Jiang Huangu's feet is also very long, but it is very thin, only about one finger wide, and looking at Jiang Huangu's huge body, it always makes people worry about whether the sword will be broken. Lu Hailong shook his head and smiled, these two people are really interesting.
When they reached the bottom of the mountain, the three of them were stunned. In front of him were countless demon wolves, fighting with immortal cultivators. The white Howling Moon Wolf, the black Shadow Wolf, the Silver Starlight Snow Wolf, the gray Phantom Sky Wolf, and the yellow Vulture Wolf...... All kinds of demon wolves shuttle back and forth, casting their best attacks. The immortal cultivators were tired of parrying, and they couldn't tell which sect it was just by looking at their clothes, because the tattered clothes had long been stained red with blood. As night fell, the starry wolf eyes emitted an evil glow, red, blue, green, and white...... Give somebody the creeps.
"Why are you still stunned?" Lu Hailong roared angrily, swung his sword and rushed into the demon wolf pack, followed by Miao Haoshang and Jiang Huangu.
Miao Haoshang's immortal sword is called "Heyin", from the blade to the hilt of the sword is about seven feet long, almost as long as his height, as wide as five inches, and the thickest part of the sword body can reach an inch, which can't help but make people wonder if he can hold it with his thin body.
Miao Haoshang slammed his sword to the ground, making a dull sound of "bang", which showed that the Heyin sword was extremely heavy. He dragged the heavy sword backwards and ran into the wolves, and with a wave of his hand, Heyin's sword was easily lifted by him, hitting a demon wolf's jaw, and the demon wolf was immediately knocked into the air, turning several heels in the air, and falling heavily in the distance, seeing that he could not survive. Miao Haoshang leveled Heyin's sword, took his heel as his heart, and turned his body around, and several demon wolves were knocked away. Then, he kicked the ground violently, jumped high with the Heyin sword, and fell to the place where the demon wolves were most dense, raised the sword with both hands, and fell quickly, and smashed down with a mountain splitting heavy sword, directly smashing the two demon wolves at the waist, and blood spurted out. The body of the demon wolf did not stop the momentum of the falling of the Heyin Sword in the slightest, and a large pit was smashed out of the ground, and the violent shock shook the surrounding circle of demon wolves away. "Happy!" Miao Haoshang shouted. His cultivation coupled with the power of the Heyin Sword is really strong, no wonder there were such four sentences to describe him in the immortal cultivation world at the beginning:
"Unshaken, unwavering,
Ann is like a mountain.
Movement arises,
As vast as a river. ”
On the other side, Jiang Huan Valley was surrounded by more than a dozen Howling Moon Wolves and Shadow Wolves, and the demon wolves jumped up and down, swooping left and right, trying to gain the upper hand with speed. But the demon wolves miscalculated, and the body of the big strong man in front of him was much lighter than the wolves. The demon wolf pounced, Jiang Huangu moved to dodge, and the speed became faster and faster. As the sky became darker and darker, he could no longer see his figure clearly, only a vague black shadow with a faint white light flashing back and forth, wherever the black shadow went, the demon wolf kept falling, and there was a deep blood hole in the center of each dead demon wolf's eyebrows. That trace of white light was Jiang Huangu's Immortal Sword Luyan. The Luyan Sword is only the thickness of a finger, but it is extremely strong and strong. Jiang Huangu's stunt is to move quickly with a dazzling body style, and stab the enemy's vital point with lightning speed.
"Butterfly Shadow Trail,
Light Man Fairy Sword Dance.
In the midst of all enemies,
Taiqing Jiang Huan Valley. ”
This poem is a very high evaluation of Jiang Huangu by others.
The addition of the duo of "Light Man Like a Mountain" and Lu Hailong suddenly changed the passive situation of the immortal cultivators on the battlefield.
