Chapter 21 The Old Man

For a few days, Wu Shijiu continued to practice this set of footwork like a demon, and the more he practiced, the more obsessed he became, only to feel that the true qi in his body was flowing rapidly with the footwork, and he was almost about to burst out. Sometimes Liu Zizai also jumped into the picture to fight with him, at first Wu Shijiu was either slapped on the head, or had footprints on the buttocks, but later the true qi in the body was inducted, and the effect of Bi Fang's fire sac was revealed, and even Liu Zizi did not dare to drag it up, and gradually needed to use internal force to fight.

After practicing for a few more days, Liu Zizai said: "You originally developed the cultivation physique of the Fire Spirit Technique due to fate. Now that you have learned the three martial arts of this sect, you can try the other spirit control techniques in the Nine Spirit Formula. ”

Wu Shijiu was stunned: "I am cultivating the Fire Spirit Technique, can I also cultivate the Water Spirit Technique that is compatible with me?"

Liu Zizai said: "When I extended the Five Elements Spirit Technique to the Nine Spirits, it was based on this Nine Palace Flying Steps. The nine kinds of spiritual power are like being enclosed in nine grids, and they don't interfere with each other, but at this moment, you have already mastered it, and with the sudden increase in internal power, with this foundation, every kind of spiritual power can be unleashed by you. ”

Wu Shijiu was skeptical, saw that there was a water tank next to the vegetable field, hesitated and walked over, silently reciting the water spirit recipe in his heart, mobilizing the true qi in his body. Before he came to this world, Rewarding Yu Qia Man had forced him to memorize the nine spirit tricks backwards, and urging the spirit tricks at this moment was only to awaken his memory. As soon as the water spirit trick was urged, the water in the water tank seemed to be alive, spiraling and rising, condensing into a water column in the air, which startled Wu Shijiu.

Liu Zizi said: "You concentrate on it again, and think about what you want it to do, and see how it will be." ”

Wu Shijiu concentrated his mind and urged the water spirit trick again, and the water in the water tank condensed into a water column and rose into the air again, turning into a circle for a while, and a square for a while, sometimes becoming the shape of a sword, sometimes becoming a knife, but no matter what shape it became, it just floated in the air, and not a drop was spilled.

Wu Shijiu was surprised and delighted, he couldn't believe his eyes, he couldn't imagine that this Nine Spiritual Recipe was so magical. After trying for a while, the water transformed into the appearance of a girl, looking at the figure, who is it if it is not Shuangxixi?

Liu Zizi sighed and said softly: "It turns out that the word love is unbreakable by everyone in the world." ”

"Senior brother, what did you say?"

Wu Shijiu vaguely felt that something seemed to have touched Liu Zizi's heart. After all, he was not familiar with the use of the Nine Spirit Technique, and he was distracted, and the Fire Spirit Technique, which was the most proficient cultivation in his body, instinctively gave birth to the power of resistance, and the water in the air suddenly became hot and steaming, uncontrollable, and poured his head on him. He wanted to retreat and dodge, but for some reason his body didn't obey the call, seeing that the water had become boiling water, he was about to burn him, Liu Zizai grabbed him and pulled him back, and the water returned to the tank on its own, but it had become a tank of boiling water.

Liu Zizai said: "You just had a distracting thought in your heart, water and fire are mutually restrictive, and it is its nature that water comes to fight fire." You can't forcibly violate the path of the five elements by using the Nine Spirit Technique, nor can you exceed your own ability to bear it. No matter how strong a person's internal force is, it is impossible to move a mountain, block a great river, and it is impossible to integrate the things that are mutually restrictive. The Nine Spiritual Formulas are only used by me with the help of the spiritual breath of all things in heaven and earth, and it is your body that carries this power. ”

"I see, it's about doing what I can. ”

"That's right, don't even think about using the nine spiritual techniques at the same time, anyone who is happy and greedy will end up in failure. The head of the Kunlun faction, Miao Heng Zhenren Xi Guya, is a martial arts wizard who has not been born in recent years, and he used extremely domineering internal force to control six kinds of spiritual power at the same time during his lifetime, and it was finally difficult to solve the contradiction of spiritual power in the body. ”

Wu Shijiu said: "So that's the case. I remember that Hei Yueming is from the Kunlun faction, is this Xi Guya his master?"

"Well, Hei Yueming is already an outcast of the Kunlun Sect. This person's control of three spiritual powers at the same time is already the limit, others don't know, in fact, it is extremely dangerous, but compared to his master's cultivation, it is still too far behind. Even so, it is really funny to mix a three-trick nickname on the rivers and lakes. ”

Wu Shijiu thought to himself, it turned out that it was not a good thing to use multiple spiritual powers at the same time, which was very different from what the old man had taught me at the beginning, probably this is the meaning of "being greedy and chewing too much, and having a specialization in the art industry".

Liu Zizai said again: "Wu Daozi's picture book is not groundless, why does the clue prompt you to find the other eight psychic messengers? No matter how powerful you are, you are not three heads and six arms, only if each person focuses on his own spiritual power and exerts it to the extreme, so that the power of the nine spirits is gathered, there is hope to close the spiritual gate together." ”

Knowing this truth, and after several days of diligent study and hard practice, Wu Shijiu tried nine kinds of spiritual power one by one, and gradually clarified his mind, and every time he controlled a kind of spiritual power, he eliminated all selfish distractions. Since then, the internal force and the Nine Spirits have become more and more integrated, and the cultivation has become refined.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and if you follow the foot strength of Pan Luozhi and others, you have entered the territory of Tubo at this time. He was worried about Shuangxi in his heart, and was thinking about how to say goodbye to Liu Zizi, but found that his senior brother did not return for a long time after going out on this day. Seeing that the sun was three poles, he was so anxious that he paced back and forth on the edge of the cliff. Suddenly, I heard the neighing of a horse at the bottom of the cliff, leaned over and looked down, but it was Liu Zizai who led a tall black horse to a shallow beach at the bottom of the cliff, and the horse was Dahei.

Since Wu Shijiu was taken to the Lingding Cliff Guanxin Pavilion, Da Hei has wandered around in the nearby mountains, but fortunately, this thousand-mile horse remembers its owner, and returns to the scattered place from time to time to look for it, and this day happened to be met by Liu Zizai.

Wu Shijiu went off the cliff with light skills and came to the shallows, Da Heizhi shook his head and tail happily, leaned over and kept licking and rubbing on his face, making love too much.

Liu Zizai said: "Where did you get this dark cloud stepping snow horse?"

Wu Shijiu told Bai Qianju that the horse sold outside the pass happened to meet the big black and temporarily lent it to him, and Liu Zizai muttered: "This horse is also known as Wu Qi, and it is the emperor's mount. At that time, the overlord Xiang Yu rode a black horse, this horse must have another owner, if you encounter it in the future, you must be careful, you must not only care about coveting good horses. ”

Wu Shijiu said: "I also think that this horse is extraordinary, it turns out that it has such a noble identity, if I meet its real owner in the future, I will return it to him." ”

Liu Zizi nodded, and said: "Counting it, you have been here for more than a month, and you have almost learned this martial arts, and if you are more diligent in the future, you will definitely succeed." I'll give you another blade, and it may be of great use in the future. As he spoke, he untied a sword from his waist and handed it over.

Wu Shijiu took it and saw that the scabbard was simple and old, and in some places it was even skinned. The hilt of the sword was even more black, as if it was covered with mud, and there was really nothing special about it, but it looked like a broken blade.

"Senior brother, this ...... Is this a sword?"

"Why? Do you look down on it?"

"No, no, no, I just think it's like an antique ......"

Liu Zizi smiled and said: "This time you are right, this is the blade used by the master before he became famous, and there is a name called Jianchuan Blood Blade." ”

"Jianchuan Blood Blade?" Wu Shijiu pulled out his sword in confusion, and saw that there were many gaps on the blade, and the sword body was rusty and pitted, like a piece of scrap iron, but there was a deep groove in the middle of the sword body on both sides, which was black and shiny, and it seemed to be an extraordinary material.

Liu Zizai said: "There is a bulge on the gauntlet of the sword handle, you can press it and try it." ”

Wu Shijiu held the sword in his right hand, his thumb was tested along the gauntlet, and sure enough, he touched a bulge, he pressed it hard, and suddenly there was a piercing pain in his palm, "Ahh

I don't know that this sword is like growing in my hand, no matter how I shake it, I can't shake it off, and then the two grooves of the sword body are injected with blood at the same time, and the sword suddenly soars cold, shining with silver light, and the sword aura is compelling.

Liu Zizai said: "You have taken the fire sac, the blood is extremely corrosive, enough to drip blood through the stone. This sword is called the Jianchuan Blood Blade, which is usually just a broken blade, but once the mechanism is triggered, the barbs on the hilt pierce the flesh and blood, and it will be connected to your bloodline and become a sharp blade that cuts gold and jade. You are using the Fire Spirit Technique at this moment, and its power is different from that of your bare hands. ”

Wu Shijiu's tingling sensation in his right hand gradually disappeared at this moment, seeing that the sword qi of the Jianchuan Blood Blade was getting stronger and stronger, he immediately carried the fire spirit technique, and with a move "Hebi Wentian" towards the cliff on the other side of the river, a flame shot away, and with a bang, a big pit was smashed out of the cliff, and the mountain rocks rolled off.

"I'll ...... This is amazing, it's just an RPG (bazooka)?" Wu Shijiu almost couldn't believe his eyes, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak incoherently, and the modern ancient words popped out together.

Liu Zizai said: "This is why it is called the Jianchuan Blood Blade, Master used it to walk the rivers and lakes before he was thirty years old, and he never missed." But you must remember that this sword is too lethal and the most blood-consuming, so don't trigger the mechanism unless you have to. Because no matter how strong your internal strength is and how strong your body is, you will eventually be a flesh and blood body wrapped in a skin, and there will always be a time when you will run out. It is enough to use it as a blade, but although this sword is broken and old, other blades do not want to hurt it. ”

"Understood. Wu Shijiu pressed it again on the bulge of the gauntlet, and the blood in the groove gradually faded, and then the right hand hurt, the barb was withdrawn, and the Jianchuan blood blade returned to its dilapidated appearance, and then looked at the palm, there was still a blood spot.

At this time, the sun was slanting in the west, and the setting sun was shining on the surface of the Hongyan River, sparkling, Liu Zizai pointed to a cave on the cliff on the other side of the river and said: "Your sixth psychic messenger is in the cave, since he refuses to go, I will watch him here for you." ”

Wu Shijiu was stunned: "You mean Pei Zhiwu?"

Liu Zizai said: "He and the ghost third woman lived in that cave, according to the ghost third woman, this young man encountered a spiritual gate opening in the Daimyo's mansion last year. ”

Wu Shijiu said suddenly: "No wonder Wu Daozi's hand-drawn clue map lists him as the sixth psychic messenger." ”

"According to legend, when the spiritual gate is opened, there will be strange beasts infested, and this young man met Han Zhu. ”

"梼杌?"

"It is also an ancient beast, born with a human face and a tiger body, and is one of the four fierce beasts. After the appearance of the Hanzhu, the local people were slaughtered, and the local army could not do anything about it, if this monster was not removed, the spiritual gate would always be open, and some other demons and ghosts would inevitably come out. ”

Wu Shijiu remembered that when he fell down the spiritual gate for the first time, demon beasts such as tiger bats, mountain yellows, and poisonous snakes all rushed out in groups, not to mention that other spiritual gates were opened.

Liu Zizai continued: "So someone in the local area remembered the descendant of this sword saint, and the magistrate personally came to visit, and the third ghost woman took her grandson to help. After a vicious fight, Han Zhu was killed, and the locals rejoiced. ”

Wu Shijiu said: "I see! I still wonder why the clue map suggests that Pei Zhiwu is in the area of the Daimyo Mansion in Jizhou, but he met him in this Baoxie Valley Road. ”

"There's another reason he's here. It is said that anyone who approaches the Lingmen will turn into powder, but this young man in order to kill Hanji, several times close to the Lingmen can get out of the whole body, this news spread, the locals said that he is a monster, just like the monster. The grandfather and grandson were ostracized and left the area. The ghost third woman had some friendship with me when she was young, and this is how she found me. ”

Wu Shijiu said indignantly: "Isn't this wronged? Only psychic messengers in the world can approach the spiritual gate, so only psychic messengers can close the spiritual gate." Those people are ignorant, they saved them, and then they spread rumors and slander, which is really hateful!"

Liu Zizi smiled faintly: "The affairs of the world, it is difficult to explain clearly. The human heart is ghostly, and I don't know how many gossip and gossip are hidden. This young man is good, but his heart still needs to be polished. I hope that he will not be burdened by false fame in the future, and help you close the spiritual gate together...... Okay, that's all that needs to be said, let's go. ”

After speaking, he put his hands on his back and walked towards the edge of the cliff. Wu Shijiu saw that he was lonely and thin, and he wanted to go over and hug this senior brother who had forgotten his old friend, but he was afraid that this move would be abrupt and embarrassing. I stood in a daze for a long time before I said, "Senior brother, I will come back to see you in the future." ”

Liu Zizi waved his hand, and a few leaps climbed the cliff and flew up, disappearing in a moment.

Wu Shijiu gave a deep salute, stepped on the big black, and rushed away.
