Li Lingfei walked in with Jiang Ning, when he walked out of the passage, he entered a circular valley, a full moon hung high in the night sky, under the illumination of the moonlight, it can be seen that there is a lake in the center of the valley, the lake is misty, hazy, and there are strange flowers and plants everywhere nearby.

There are also more than a dozen simple houses on display near the lake, and dozens of glowing caves are densely covered with mountain cliffs, as if you have suddenly come to another world.

Tired of seeing the mountains and rivers of the Lingyin Sect, the pavilions and pavilions, and seeing such a different beauty, Jiang Ning said to himself, "It turns out that the back mountain is like this." ”

After stepping into this place, a natural and unique aura, with a more quintessential aura than the outside world, struck his face, feeling the tranquility of the valley and the aura of heaven and earth and the breath of life, Jiang Ning's pores all over his body were stretched, and the golden spiritual sea began to absorb greedily.

Li Lingfei didn't stop it, but just pinched his fingers in his sleeve, and an invisible shapeless light curtain shrouded Jiang Ning in it.

stretched out a hand and put it on Jiang Ning's shoulder, and then with a pull, Jiang Ning flew up.

Li Lingfei took Jiang Ning and landed at the entrance of a cave on the cliff, and there was a crystal inlaid in the cave at every distance, emitting a strong light, shining inside like daylight.

I didn't go far to enter a stone room, which can also be called a cave house, the space is very large, but there are not many objects inside, only a stone table and a few stone chairs.

At this time, a tall man in a black robe sat on a stone chair, looking at an old book, and when he saw Li Lingfei and Jiang Ning coming, he put down the book and got up.

Lingyin Sect Sect Master Lu Yun smiled and said, "It's here." ”

Jiang Ning hurriedly bowed and saluted, "I've seen the sect master." ”

Li Lingfei just nodded beside him.

Still smiling, Lu Yun looked at Jiang Ning and asked, "Jiang Ning, it's been more than two years since you came to the sect." ”

"Yes. ”

"What do you think of the sect?"

Jiang Ning thought for a moment, and then said: "Well, the mountain peaks are majestic, the scenery is beautiful everywhere, the sect master and the masters are kind to others, the elders are dutiful, and the disciples get along well. ”

The corners of Li Lingfei's mouth twitched slightly, and Lu Yun couldn't help laughing, and didn't say whether Jiang Ning's answer was good or bad.

"I came to you this time to come over about the Lingyin Sword Technique, according to the rules, even if a true disciple wants to watch the Lingyin Sword Technique, he needs to go through the inspection of the sect and confirm that he has the cultivation qualifications before he can watch it. Two years ago, Ling Fei came to me and directly took away a few secret books, saying that he wanted to make a choice between Shanshan and you, and I found out afterwards that the Lingyin Sword Technique was also mixed in it, which was considered a dereliction of duty on my part as the sect master. If it weren't for this competition, I still wouldn't know that there are people in the sect who can cultivate the Spirit Hidden Sword Technique, and one of you will not report it when the period expires, and none of you will know anything. ”

Li Lingfei said with a straight face: "I admit any punishment for this matter, and I didn't expect Xiao Ning to choose the Spirit Hidden Sword Technique at that time." ”

Lu Yun shook his head and smiled: "If Jiang Ning didn't get started, there would definitely be a punishment, but judging from the few battles he competed in, the first weight is close to consummation, and everything is difficult at the beginning, the Lingyin Sword Technique recorded in that booklet is actually incomplete, only the first three, and it is incomplete except for the first one." ”

Jiang Ning was silent, just listened quietly.

Lu Yun's expression was stunned, and he said slowly: "Three thousand four hundred years ago, the then sect master brought back a seriously injured child from the outside world, the child was already dying, his abdomen was almost fatally injured, and his natal qi mansion was also close to collapse. After consuming several genius earth treasures, the child survived, but he still left a dark disease, many people felt that it was not worth it, and it was just a waste to save it, which made the sect master at that time controversial. ”

All the criticisms of the sect master chose to bear it, and arranged for the child to recuperate in the back mountain, and ten years passed like this. One day, the young man, who usually looked sick, wanted to go out of the back mountain to see the outside world, and after getting permission, accompanied by the only maid, walked out of the back mountain. They met an arrogant and unreasonable True Disciple, but because he and the maid didn't salute her, a disciple from the Inner Gate stood up behind the disciple and slapped the maid. ”

The maid hurriedly bowed down and apologized in fright, but the inner disciple didn't stop there, raised his hand and wanted to slap him, but was blocked by a young man... And so the conflict began. At that time, there was no rule that the sect could not fight privately, the young man slapped the inner disciple to the ground, and picked up the sword that the inner disciple fell to the ground, this was also the first time that the young man held the hilt of the sword, and suddenly a sword aura went straight to the sky, and several elders who came in a hurry witnessed the peerless demeanor of the young man at that moment. ”

"The moment the young man held the sword, he was directly promoted to the realm of Guanhai! After that, he was like a bamboo on the way to practice, and at the age of twenty-six, he entered the Golden Body Realm, becoming the youngest Golden Body Realm monk in the history of the entire Ming Dynasty, and no one has been able to break the record so far, his name is "Li Zicheng"!

Jiang Ning didn't have a rough judgment of the Golden Body Realm now, but he could also hear Lu Yun's admiration when he said this, how could a person who could create the Spirit Hidden Sword Technique be an ordinary person.

Lu Yun exhaled a long breath, and his tone was full of regret and continued: "It's a pity that Li Zicheng's ancestor has not been able to enter the realm of freedom in his life because of the secret disease, and he entered the golden body at the age of twenty-six, and reached the last step of the golden body realm before the age of forty, "King Kong", which is only one step away from the realm of freedom! In those three hundred years, he deserved to be the strongest person in the entire Ming Dynasty, and even the Ming King at that time, a big man in the realm of leisure, lost to him who was only in the realm of the golden body. ”

When Li Zicheng was 356 years old, he knew that his time was short, and after arranging the future, he traveled the world alone, seeking a glimmer of life. But within a few years after he left the sect, the soul lamp that remained in the sect was quietly extinguished, according to the longevity of the monks in different realms, the monks of the golden body realm have a longevity of more than 700 years, if Li Zicheng Ancestor had not been injured when he was a child, and his cultivation talent had entered the free, and even the unattainable realm of the gods was possible, our Lingyin Sect might have already unified the forces of the Dynasty Immortal Sect. ”

Li Lingfei couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity."

Jiang Ning also felt that such a Tianzhong figure stopped because of his injuries in his early years, and failed to shine in the world and become a legend, which is really a loss in this world.

How powerful the Spirit Hidden Sword Technique was, Jiang Ning's own feeling, even if he didn't rely on the existing advantages of the Innocent Immortal Body, was almost invincible in the same realm, and it was the strongest among the cheats he could see and hear about at the moment.

"The Lingyin Sword Technique was pioneered by Li Zicheng Ancestor at the age of ninety, and finally at the age of three hundred, he created it to the ninth level and stopped, and he himself only cultivated to the eighth level, and the ninth level did not have any records, leaving only a stone tablet, a sentence in the sect. ”

"If there is a person who can inherit my Dharma in the future, after cultivating to the eighth level, he can observe that this monument has his own enlightenment. ”

"For more than 3,000 years, there have been a total of five people in the sect who have cultivated the sword technique, three of whom stopped at the third level, one at the fourth level, and one at the fifth level. It has been more than five hundred years since there has been a person who can cultivate the Spirit Hidden Sword Technique, Jiang Ning, your appearance has given me a great surprise. ”

Jiang Ning asked suspiciously, "I'm actually very curious about why I can cultivate the Spirit Hidden Sword Technique?" I don't feel that there is any necessary threshold, can the sect master solve my confusion?"

"This problem has also been plaguing the sect for thousands of years, and the first five disciples who can cultivate the Spirit Hidden Sword Technique do not have much in common, the only thing that is the same is that the soul power is slightly stronger than the others. For this reason, we have also deliberately selected disciples with strong natural soul power to cultivate, but the results are disappointing. For so many years, as long as there is a disciple who is gifted in cultivation, the sect will pass on a Lingyin Sword Recipe formula, if he can run his own Xiao Zhoutian, then it means that he can cultivate the Lingyin Sword Technique. One of the reasons why the sect holds a competition every five years is to choose whether there are suitable disciples who can cultivate it, and the Lingyin Sword Technique has been forgotten by the world for a long time, and even our Lingyin Sect itself only knows that it exists, and forgets its power. ”

Lu Yun looked at Jiang Ning expectantly and asked, "Think about it carefully, what is the difference between cultivating the Spirit Hidden Sword Technique and cultivating other secret books?"

Jiang Ning replied honestly: "I don't feel anything, it will be running at that time." ”

Lu Yun sighed and didn't ask more, he also spent a long time watching and comprehending the Lingyin Sword Technique, but he was never able to get started, he could only sigh that Li Zicheng was extraordinary, and the Golden Realm could create such a mysterious method.

He walked to a stone wall, pressed a piece of masonry, and in the sound of "boom", another stone room appeared, which was actually a stone room hidden in the stone room, and motioned for Li Lingfei and Jiang Ning to go in together.

This stone chamber is a few points larger than the outside, there are only four long swords hanging in the air, the shape is not much different, but the color is different, the breath is not the same, there is a circle at the junction of the hilt and the sword body, embedded with gemstones, respectively engraved with spring, summer, autumn, winter, four characters.

There was also a half-foot-high crystal suspended in the center of the four swords, and the four walls of the stone room were full of sword marks, and it was difficult to feel a faint Xiao Killing Sword Intent contained in it today.

Lu Yun explained to the two: "This was the retreat place of Li Zicheng's ancestor back then, and the sword marks on the walls were all caused by the sword qi he exuded. ”

Just the sword qi emitted can crack the stone, how strong is Li Zicheng, Jiang Ning was very surprised.

When his gaze stopped at the four swords hanging in the air, his footsteps froze, and the Spirit Hidden Sword Technique operated on its own, and the crystal that was originally just suspended suddenly spun, and a beam of white light was directly linked to Jiang Ning's head, and he just looked at the four swords and crystals, motionless, without blinking his eyes.
