Chapter 144: Yu Jian Traces
() After the Great War of Immortals and Demons, the various immortal cultivation sects in the Qinglong Continent rose, and the seven peerless immortal swords have been passed down to this day as the inheritance treasure of the seven major sects, and there is also a lineage of Dingguang Immortal Sword, and for hundreds of years, only these eight peerless immortal swords have been known to people.
But in the last ten years, the mysterious Five Dou Star Silk suddenly appeared, which attracted the attention of many immortal cultivators. The Five Dou Star Cave led to the Shuzang Immortal Palace, and the top five of the eighteen peerless immortal swords appeared together, as if a boulder had been thrown into the calm water, causing an uproar. For a time, the peerless fairy sword became a topic that people talked about after tea and dinner, on the streets and alleys.
The news of the Seven Star Immortal Sword was deliberately concealed, so people only knew that there were thirteen immortal swords that had appeared now, and where the remaining five immortal swords were now was a matter of great concern to everyone.
This question is also one of the purposes of Zhu Honglie's visit to Taiqing Sect.
Only Fang Wanliu went to Shuzang Palace from the Chiri Sect, far less than the Taiqing Sect. Zhu Honglie had a glimmer of hope, but in the end, it was in vain, and Fang Wanliu failed to bring back the peerless immortal sword. Hearing that the Xuanyuan Immortal Sword was obtained by Liu Yinyin, and the Chixiao Immortal Sword was obtained by Helian Xin, who was born in the Taiqing Sect, Zhu Honglie couldn't sit still.
With three peerless immortal swords, the status of the Taiqing Sect instantly surpassed that of the Chiri Sect. Zhu Honglie was envious and glad at the same time, fortunately, because of Zhu Xiaomin's relationship a few years ago, the stiff relationship between the two sects was greatly eased. But the disciples of the Chiri Sect, who had long regarded themselves as the number one sect in cultivating immortals, were angry.
Helplessly, Taiqing Sect got two peerless immortal swords that were not stolen or robbed, relying on strength and luck, no one could say anything, but they were unwilling. Zhu Honglie discussed with the elders a little and decided to put the matter of finding the remaining few peerless immortal swords in the first place, only with a few more peerless immortal swords, the Chiri Sect could once again catch up with the status of the Taiqing Sect. Therefore, after Zhu Honglie appeased the disciples in the sect, he immediately visited the Taiqing Sect with several masters of the Mahayana realm.
"Sect Master Li, Senior Lu, your sect has obtained the two peerless immortal swords of Xuanyuan and Chixiao, which is really gratifying. I, the Red Sun Sect, am really envious. Now, there are still five peerless immortal swords missing, and the decisive battle with the dragon clan is imminent, so I think finding those five immortal swords is the most important thing at the moment. Zhu Honglie said.
"What Sect Master Zhu said is extremely true. I don't know what Sect Master Zhu's plans are?" asked Li Yuanxiao.
"I plan to send a large number of men to find the whereabouts of the five immortal swords. I hope that your sect will help my sect. ”
Li Yuanxiao smiled: "This is easy to say. What does Sect Master Zhu want us to do?"
Zhu Honglie pondered for a while, and thought of the wording: "The personnel of the Taiqing Sect's Hunting Hall are widely distributed and well-informed. Can you help find out the news of the peerless immortal sword?"
Li Yuanxiao nodded: "What's so difficult about this, Sect Master Zhu can rest assured." However, your sect's ability to listen to the letter hall to find out information should be no worse than my sect's hunting word hall, right?"
"I have sent all the disciples of the Hearing Faith Hall. There is another point," Zhu Honglie added, "If there is news, you and I must not have a conflict between the two cases, so that others can benefit from the fisherman." Your sect has three peerless immortal swords in hand, and my sect thinks it is inferior. Fortunately, the power of the remaining immortal swords cannot be compared with the two swords of Xuanyuan and Chixiao, I don't know if your sect will be able to ...... At the end of the sentence, his old face flushed. To be honest, the relationship between the two sects is not as close as a family, and besides, is the peerless fairy sword too much to burn?
He Sixiang hurriedly caught up: "It has always been the two strongest sects of Taiqing and Chiri, leading the immortal cultivation world. If my sect also gets other peerless immortal swords, it will definitely greatly enhance our combat power in the future when I fight with the demon clan, so ......"
Although these words were a bit grandiose, they aroused an idea in Lu Hailong's mind. After breaking off with the dragon clan, he thought that having more peerless immortal swords would be beneficial and harmful. There are three peerless immortal swords, and they will inevitably bear the brunt of the decisive battle with the dragon clan, and the dragon clan will take the Taiqing Sect as the main opponent, and other sects will also ask the Taiqing Sect to be the main force. If the news of the Seven Star Sword is known to the world, the masters in the sect will be pushed to the forefront and fight with the dragon clan. Lu Hailong thought that the Taiqing Sect was no match for the Dragon Clan, and if the master of the Red Sun Sect could be on top at that time, the pressure on the Taiqing Sect would be much less. He also knew very well that in addition to Yuan Qitian, who died in the Fire Cloud Cave, there must be other masters of the Tribulation Realm in the Red Sun Sect.
Seeing that Li Yuanxiao and Lu Hailong did not answer, Jing Mingbo said: "It's just a little concession, so as not to fight each other and let others take advantage of the loophole." ”
Lu Hailong asked: "Jing Daoyou, He Daoyou, I don't know where the other masters of the Tribulation Realm are in your sect except for Yuan Qitian?"
Jing Mingbo blinked, understood the meaning of Lu Hailong's words, and said with a smile: "Well, this...... Brother Lu can rest assured. ”
Lu Hailong also smiled: "Then it's decided." ”
He Sixiang, Jing Mingbo, and Zhu Honglie all responded with satisfaction: "Okay." ”
Li Yuanxiao said: "Sect Master Zhu, the two seniors, only have five years to look for the peerless immortal sword that has been missing for hundreds of years, it is really slim. ”
He Sixiang said: "Indeed, but it is better than no hope. Brother Lu, on the one hand, I am glad that you have set a five-year period with the Dragon Clan, and on the other hand, I regret that it would be better if the time agreed with the Dragon Clan was longer. ”
"What should come will always come, five years is short or long. If it takes too long, the dragon clan will definitely refuse to agree, and if the masters who have comprehended the sword intent usher in the heavenly tribulation, it will be troublesome. Lu Hailong said.
"Brother Lu, I always feel that the reappearance of the five immortal swords is a bit mysterious. Jing Ming Bodao.
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
"All the causes originated from the sudden appearance of the Southern Dipper Star Silk, and then, the other four Dipper Star Silk appeared one after another in a short period of time, which led to the Shuzang Palace and the Five Immortal Sword, just right
The mysterious dragon clan launched a demon beast riot, don't you think everything is too coincidental? The Five Dou Star Silk was left by the five great sword immortals, and it has not been known for many years, but it has appeared one after another when the peerless immortal sword is most needed in the immortal cultivation world, which is too similar to the situation at the time of the Immortal Demon War. Jing Mingbo's expression was solemn.
Lu Hailong and Li Yuanxiao's hearts sank, and Jing Mingbo said it well. At the beginning, when the sword demons came to attack, the peerless fairy swords sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and one after another was born, helping the sword immortals to eradicate the terrible enemies. If you count the seven-star immortal sword this time, six peerless immortal swords will appear at once, according to this idea, it is really very likely to find the remaining five within five years.
"I won't hide it from you, my sect's goal is the sixth-ranked Juque Immortal Sword and the seventh-ranked Seven-Star Immortal Sword. With these two fairy swords, there will undoubtedly be many odds of victory. He Sixiang said.
Lu Hailong nodded. The Red Sun Sect pressed the chips on the two immortal swords, but they didn't know that the Seven Star Swords were already in the bag of the Taiqing Sect.
......
The atmosphere in the bamboo garden is not what it used to be. Han Mingfei, Tang Junhe, He Tianyao, Hua Qingyu, including Zhu Xiaomin, who has been giggling, have all become a lot more silent. Everything was because of He Tianxiao's sudden departure eleven years ago. Tianxiao obeyed Lu Hailong's orders, and after leaving the Loose Pattern Immortal Sword and a letter in the middle of a quiet night, he quietly left the Taiqing Sect alone. Although Tianyao and Zhu Xiaomin knew the reason, they didn't know where he went. Only Li Yuanxiao and Yu Ruijiang knew his whereabouts.
Tianxiao said in the letter that cultivating immortals was too hard and he was overwhelmed, so he decided to give up cultivating immortals and was willing to be ordinary people again, hoping that Li Yuanxiao and Yu Ruijiang would forgive.
Li Yuanxiao and Yu Ruijiang made a fake play of "being furious", pretending to go down the mountain to look for it several times but found nothing, so they had to "regret it" and stop it.
However, the saddest person is Xiao Liying. After learning the news of Tianxiao's disappearance, she was like five thunderbolts, she didn't care about cultivation, she went down the mountain to search for a whole month, and searched Yundui Villa and Xuzhou City all over but did not find Tianxiao, and was later forcibly taken back to the sect by Li Yuanxiao. After returning to Taiqing Sect, she seemed to be a different person, she didn't leave the hospital all day, just blindly cultivating asceticly. Tang Junhe, Hua Qingyu, and Zhu Xiaomin once went to visit her together, but she didn't want to see anyone.
Soon, the news of Tianxiao's abandonment of cultivating immortals spread throughout the entire Taiqing Sect, and most of the male disciples scoffed, but the female disciples lamented and regretted one after another.
Although Li Yuanxiao let Tianxiao go to Huang Lao's housekeeper, it was not a place to stay for a long time after all. For this grandson, he has a lot of worries. The Tianxiao Demon Infant has ended, and if it is discovered by other immortal cultivators, his life will definitely be lost, and he has always been tight-lipped about how to cultivate demons. Fortunately, a few years later, Shi Chongyin sent back the spiritual breath and learned that Lu Hailong and the others were still breaking through the Shuzang Palace, so Li Yuanxiao relieved his mind and patiently waited for Lu Hailong and the others to return to the sect before dealing with the matter.
I didn't expect to wait for this, eleven years have passed. Huang's old housekeeper has long since passed away, and Tianxiao lives alone in a remote mountain village. Tianyao and Xiaomin have cultivated from the early stage of the Yuan Infant to the middle stage of the Void Underworld, but they have never seen Tianxiao's side. The two once asked Yu Ruijiang, but Yu Ruijiang just replied lightly: "If there is fate, we will naturally see you again." ”
In the early morning of this day, Zhu Xiaomin called Tianyao and Hua Qingyu, and prepared to go to Fenglu Valley to practice swordsmanship together, but unexpectedly met Yan Luoting, a person he didn't want to see, at the gate of Zhuyuan.
Yan Luoting was followed by several male disciples, and after seeing Zhu Xiaomin, he hurriedly greeted: "Senior Sister Zhu, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Zhu Xiaomin nodded politely: "What is Senior Brother Yan looking for me?"
Yan Luoting smiled slightly: "That's the case, we are preparing to go down the mountain." Are you free ......?"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Xiaomin: "I'm sorry, I still have to cultivate, I don't have time." ”
"Senior sister, I haven't made it clear yet. This time it was a task given by the three elders, let us go down the mountain to find out the news of the peerless immortal sword. Anyway, there is no exact destination, why don't you go down the mountain with us, and enjoy the mountains and rivers along the way, while practicing and learning, wouldn't it be happy?"
Zhu Xiaomin shook his head: "Since it is a task assigned by the third elder, it is better to advise the senior brother to be attentive." Master, he won't allow me to go down the mountain. ”
Yan Luoting seemed to have expected Zhu Xiaomin to refuse, and he said lightly: "It's okay." I went to report to Elder Yu that we were going down the mountain to find the peerless immortal sword, and I and these juniors and disciples were also in the Void Realm of the Void and the Netherworld, and it would be of great benefit to our cultivation to communicate with each other. By the way, Senior Sister Hua can also go with her. ”
Those present were obviously still far away, but Yan Luoting turned a blind eye.
Tianyao frowned in disgust: "Xiaomin, Sister Qingyu, I'll go to practice the sword first." With that, he departed.
Yan Luoting sneered in his heart: "It should have been long since I left." ”
"Yan Luoting, I'll say it again, I'm not going. If you want to exchange ideas, a few of you are enough. I'm going to practice my sword. Zhu Xiaomin called his name impatiently.
"Senior Brother Yan, I'm not from the Taiqing Sect, so I don't have anything to communicate with. Thank you for your kindness, I'm going to practice my sword too. "Hua Qingyu said.
"Sister Qingyu, let's go. Zhu Xiaomin took Hua Qingyu's hand and turned around to leave.
"Hey, slow down!" Before the two of them could take a few steps, they were blocked by a disciple, "Senior Brother Yan hasn't let you go yet, you can't go!"
Looking at the disgusting face of this male disciple, Zhu Xiaomin snorted coldly: "Get out!"
"Senior Brother Sang, don't stop the two junior sisters. Yan Luoting said calmly.
The disciple foolishly stepped out of the way, and Zhu Xiaomin said as he walked: "How can Taiqing Sect accept such garbage? Sister Qingyu, let you laugh." ”
Hua Qingyu pursed her lips and smiled, Zhu Xiaomin's mouth was powerful and bold
, dare to say anything.
"Two junior sisters, this is something you gave up on your own. If you lose the news of He Tianxiao, don't blame me. Yan Luoting said suddenly.
"What?" both turned in surprise.
"Yan Luo...... Senior Brother Yan, what did you just say? Do you have any news from Brother Tianxiao? Tell me where he is?" Zhu Xiaomin ran back to Yan Luoting in a few steps, and Hua Qingyu also followed.
Yan Luoting smiled proudly: "Senior sister, I see that you are in a hurry." A few days ago, when several of my junior disciples were going down the mountain to run errands, they happened to see a person who looked very much like He Tianxiao, and was about to come forward to ask, but unfortunately the person seemed to be aware of it, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. ”
"Where did you meet?" said Zhu Xiaomin, hopeful.
Yan Luoting deliberately sold Guanzi, and said slowly: "Senior sister, let's go down the mountain with me." I'm also anxious that Senior Brother He is missing, why don't we go and look for it together, how about it?"
Zhu Xiaomin frowned. Yan Luoting's face made her sick to her stomach, but she was reluctant to lose the clue of Tianxiao.
"Senior Brother Yan, just tell us, I will accompany Xiaomin to find Tianxiao, you have a task to do, it's better not to be distracted. "Hua Qingyu said.
"Senior Sister Hua, this is a lot of things. Searching for the peerless immortal sword is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and now there is no direction, which does not conflict with finding Senior Brother He. Yan Luoting said this, but he sneered in his heart: "I was using this thing to blackmail, how could I tell you? Hmph, what kind of ability does He Tianxiao's stinky boy have to make you two care about him so much!"
"Sister Qingyu, I want to go. Zhu Xiaomin said seriously.
Yan Luoting was overjoyed in his heart, and the fish really took the bait.
"Then I'll go with you. "Hua Qingyu said.
"Senior Brother Yan, I still have a request, let Brother Tianyao go with me. The two brothers haven't seen each other for years, and he's even more anxious than we are. Zhu Xiaomin said.
"Well...... this" Of course Yan Luoting was unwilling, in his heart He Tianyao was as hateful as He Tianxiao.
He was thinking about excuses, Yu Ruijiang suddenly appeared at the intersection, glanced at Yan Luoting, and asked lightly, "Xiaomin, what's the matter?"
Yan Luoting and the disciples hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Meet Elder Yu." ”
"Master, Xiaomin asks to come down the mountain. Zhu Xiaomin said.
"What are you going to do down the mountain?"
"Master, Senior Brother Yan, he knows the news of Brother Tianxiao, so he came to find me and go down the mountain together. ”
Yu Ruijiang raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Yan Luoting, have you seen Tianxiao?"
Yan Luoting was a little flustered, and hurriedly explained: "Elder Hui, when my junior brothers went down the mountain to do errands a few days ago, they found traces of Tianxiao's junior brothers, so I came to inform the two junior sisters. Elder Yu, the two junior sisters and I are both in the middle stage of the void and the underworld, can you let them go down the mountain with us, while looking for the junior brother Tianxiao, we can also communicate and learn from each other, and ensure that we will not delay the cultivation of immortals. ”
Yu Ruijiang said coldly: "Yes, then you will follow me into the house, and when and where you saw Tianxiao, and what color his clothes were that day, write them on paper and show me, if there is a difference, you will be punished!"
"Ah......" Yan Luoting didn't expect Yu Ruijiang to say this, his face turned white with a "brush", and cold sweat immediately oozed from his head. The disciples behind him were also frightened and trembled slightly. Where have they ever seen Tianxiao? It was simply a nonsense that Yan Luoting made up in order to trick Zhu Xiaomin into going down the mountain.
Seeing the dejected appearance of these people, Zhu Xiaomin immediately understood that Yan Luoting was coaxing himself, so he stomped on him angrily, glared at Yan Luoting fiercely, and left with Hua Qingyu.
"I hope the elder forgives his sins!" Yan Luoting couldn't hold it back, and knelt on the ground with a "poof", and several other disciples also hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Yan Luoting, you have been cultivating immortals for more than forty years before you are in the middle of the void, and Xiaomin has only cultivated immortals for twenty years and has reached the same realm as you, don't you feel ashamed? Don't think about other things all day long, like you, how can you cultivate into a sword immortal within a large limit? This time, the Elder sent you down the mountain to find clues to the peerless immortal sword, I won't punish you, you can do it yourself." Yu Ruijiang reprimanded harshly.
"Yes, yes, what the elders teach is to follow the teachings. Yan Luoting's face was blue and white for a while, and his head was like a chicken pecking rice. The rules of the Taiqing Sect are very strict, and it is a felony to deceive the elders at will, especially if they talk about Yu Ruijiang's favorite apprentice.
"Go!" Yu Ruijiang took his hand and went back to Zhuyuan. Yan Luoting and the others left as if they had met an amnesty.
......
In the Wind Law Valley, Zhu Xiaomin was still angry: "That hateful guy in Yan Luoting actually faked the news of Brother Tianxiao to deceive me!"
"Yes, it's too much!" Even Hua Qingyu, who has always had a mild temper, was very angry.
Tianyao listened to the two of them narrate what happened, shook his head and said, "That guy is really hopeless, don't hurry up if the speed of immortal cultivation is so slow." ”
"The skin of the face is thicker than the bark of a tree. I heard that he is still an important disciple of the Hunting Word Hall?" Hua Qingyu said.
Zhu Xiaomin said disdainfully: "Isn't it! The level of immortal cultivation is not good, and the kung fu of inquiring about messy things is quite powerful, so I believed him just now." ”
Tianyao sighed lightly: "Leave him alone, let's practice swords." Brother Tianxiao must be fine, I have a feeling that one day we will meet again. ”
Zhu Xiaomin and Hua Qingyu responded in unison, and the three of them began their daily cultivation.
In the evening, the trio returned from the Valley of Windrhythm. As soon as I stepped into the bamboo garden, I heard a voice from Tianyao's room: "You three come in!"
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and ran towards the room together.
