Chapter 37: The Beginning of the War
In the blink of an eye, another decade has passed.
In the secret room, Yuan Qing closed his eyes slightly, there was no sadness or joy on his face, his whole body was shining with silver light, and he forgot about things. Suddenly, there was a soft "click", and then the silver light flourished, followed by the rumbling of the sword.
After a while, the silver light dissipated, Yuan Qing opened his eyes, and the bright light flashed, as if there was a sword light dazzling. Pinching Jue stopped the Spirit Gathering Array, stood up, and looked at the spirit stone that had turned gray in the eyes of the array, the young man sighed, shook his head and walked out of the secret room.
After ten years of retreat, Yuan Qing only smelted a small part of the sword embryo, and the more he refined, the more difficult it became. Especially in the last two years, no matter how much it is refined, the little sword will not move at all.
Speaking of which, this spirit gathering array also consumes too many spirit stones, non-medium-grade spirit stones cannot be activated, it costs eight pieces a year, and in ten years, eight thousand spirit stones have been used for retreat cultivation alone. This is the fourth refining, thinking that there will be five refining after that, Yuan Qing instantly understood why Wang Qing was so keen on "sharing the spoils".
Removing a magic circle and feeling the long-lost sunshine, the young man couldn't help but feel good. Suddenly, a transmission note flew in, but it was the news that Wang Qing was going to retreat from an unknown amount of time ago.
"Ling'er doesn't seem to be out of the customs, everyone is very diligent. ”
The young man walked to the half-bridge, took off the gourd on his waist, poured a big sip, and breathed a sigh of wine through the smell of wine, and then stood quietly, looking at the lake and mountains, and gradually became distracted.
After a long time, Yuan Qing came back to his senses, waved his sleeves, turned around and went back to the house. Then, the clouds gradually rose, and soon the lake was flooded again.
After March, Miao Miao Lake.
A long crystal sword light swirled in the air, and it was extraordinary. A moment later, the sword light stopped, and it landed on the island, revealing the slightly thin figure of the young man.
The young man put away the water-breaking sword, took off the gourd and took a sip, then returned to the bamboo house, picked up the book on the table, and read it intently.
In these three months, Yuan Qing did not continue to refine the sword embryo, but took out the "Sword Sutra" and studied swordsmanship.
Xu is because the sword heart is clear, the art of the integration of body and sword is easily practiced by it, once used, the sword light is extremely condensed, and the sharpness is abnormal. It's just that the consumption is too much, and with his current cultivation, if he uses it four or five times at most, the qi will be empty and unsustainable.
The sword qi thunder sound technique has also been comprehended, but the sword qi in the body is not pure enough to be used.
After that, Yuan Please began to study how to refine the Natal Flying Sword.
According to the "Sword Weapon Outer Chapter", the natal flying sword is connected with the sword cultivation bloodline, sharing weal and woe, and it is the same as the monk's natal magic weapon. It can be stored in the body, kept warm at all times, and once released, it is extremely sharp, far from being able to resist by ordinary magic weapons.
Cultivation can be tried to refine when it reaches the sword embryo realm, but because of the large number of treasure materials required, the complex process, and the high requirements for mana purity, I have never seen any sword cultivator who can have a natal flying sword in the foundation building period.
The more he looked at it, the tighter his brows became, and the needs of spiritual flames, magic circles, and related magic techniques were still met, but the dozens of rare minerals involved were not known to the young man. I had no choice but to take out "Xuanyuan Tongjian" and start making up for it.
After several days of hard reading, Yuan Qing's cognition of the method of formation, alchemy, refining and talisman has been greatly improved, and some small means such as stealth, sound insulation, air control, and divine consciousness transmission are also easy to master, but the spirit grass veins are too complicated, and it is only now that the minerals have been roughly remembered.
The boy closed the book and waved his hand to show a place of minerals, with different shapes, sizes and colors, and there were more than ten kinds of minerals.
"Red blood copper, dark iron, this is lazuli, this is tungsten steel sand......"
Yuan Qing frowned and carefully identified them one by one, and after a while, he actually found a fist-sized piece of Taiyin Xuantie and two large pieces of Xuanying Stone Mother.
Taiyin Xuantie is extremely strong and tough, and it is the main material for refining the Natal Flying Sword, but such a small piece is not enough;
Suddenly, a bell rang, loud and loud, far and wide, and two more came a moment later. Yuan Qing immediately collected everything, and Edgeworth went straight to the main peak council hall.
When I came to the main peak, I saw that there were more than 100 people standing on the huge white jade square in front of the hall, or whispering to people who knew each other, or standing alone silently. Yuan Qing picked a secluded place to drop the sword light and waited quietly.
Figures flew in one after another, and during which they also saw Zhu Linger and Wang Qing. Yuan Qing immediately used the Divine Sense Transmission Technique, which he had just learned, to summon the two of them to his side. The two seemed to know what was going to happen, but they didn't want to say more, only Yuan Qing looked dazed.
After about a stick of incense, there were already hundreds of people in the square, all of whom were monks in the foundation building period.
Then the brilliance flashed, and a figure stood in the air, wearing a dark robe, wearing a black jade hairpin, and big sleeves, it was Xu Jingtian.
"I've seen Senior Brother Xu. Everyone bowed in unison and said.
Xu Jingtian changed his gentle appearance in the past, described solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "There is a beast tide in the north, and its momentum is mighty, destroying the city and destroying the country, and wanting to break the foundation of our human race. Our generation of monks, we should follow the example of our ancestors, slay demons and defend the way, protect our people, and restore the cause and effect of the past. ”
As soon as this remark came out, except for some insiders, the rest of them all had solemn faces, and the atmosphere on the field was heavy.
Xu Jingtian paused and continued: "All the gains from killing demons are their own, and they don't take anything from the door. At that time, the sect will open the treasure house, and the pill exercises, heavenly materials and earth treasures can be exchanged for merit. ”
"May I ask Senior Brother Xu, why are all the disciples of the Foundation Building Period here?" a tall and muscular man who looked to be in his thirties asked respectfully.
"Senior Brother Xie, don't worry," Xu Jingtian glanced at the man and continued: "The head of the sect and the elders of the many factions have taken the lead, and each of them will set off in a few days, and the people who participated in the war will come here seven days later, led by Senior Sister Bai Zhi, and go to the battlefield by cloud boat. ”
"Listening to what Senior Brother said, can I still participate in this battle?" asked a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears and a shiny face.
Xu Jingtian glanced at this person and said coldly: "Whether you participate in the war or not is voluntary, and the door has its own tasks. However, we monks should rise to the challenge, so weak and cowardly, it is not as good as ordinary skin, how can we cultivate the Tao!"
The man smiled, but his eyes were full of disapproval.
After his expression eased slightly, Xu Jingtian continued: "Okay, let's make your own decisions." After saying that, the blue light flashed and disappeared.
Everyone dispersed in twos and threes, and the three of Yuan Qing also planned to go to Qingyuanju to talk in detail. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby figure wearing a brown robe and a green-robed monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes coming side by side.
"Brother Wang, Senior Brother Yuan, I haven't seen you for a long time. The two smiled slightly and arched their hands.
"Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Li. Yuan Qing also smiled in return.
"Hehe, you two are here too. Wang Qing replied rather casually.
"Li happened to complete the task and returned to the sect, and Brother Liu was interrupted from his retreat. ”
On the side, Liu Han saw that Zhu Ling'er had a cold temperament, and asked out loud, "Who is this junior sister?"
Zhu Ling'er smiled faintly and was about to answer, but Wang Qing took the lead and said with a smile: "This is Zhu Ling'er, Senior Sister Zhu, Senior Brother Yuan's, uh, best friend." ”
When Liu and Li heard this, they greeted him with a smile on their faces. Looking at Yuan Qing and Zhu Ling'er again, they looked indifferent, and they looked generous and generous.
Wang Qing saw that everyone was familiar with each other, and his heart moved, and he said, "I'm about to go to Senior Brother Yuan to discuss the war, why don't you two go together?"
When Liu and Li heard this, they glanced at each other, and then Li Yang smiled slightly and said, "Senior Brother Yuan still owes me two a good meal, and today is just a good win." ”
Liu Han agreed on the side: "Yes, Liu has been waiting for a long time." ”
Yuan Qing laughed after hearing this: "It's the junior brother's negligence, I'll make it up today, the wine pipe is enough!"
After speaking, everyone looked at each other and smiled, but Wang Qing seemed to think of something, and the corners of his mouth twitched a little unconsciously. Then the group multiplied their instruments and flew to Qingyuanju with Yuanqing.
came to the bamboo house and sat down, Yuan Qing didn't say a word, first took out two jars of peach fairy brew and filled them with Liu and Li. Then he glanced at Zhu Ling'er, saw that he nodded slightly, and poured her a glass. But he took off the gourd he carried, glanced at Wang Qing, and said, "Dry." ”
Liu Li and the others drank it all, but the sweet and greasy taste in this mouth was really unpleasant, and they frowned but it was not easy to say it bluntly. Zhu Ling'er took a sip and looked at his expression, as if he was quite satisfied.
"What are your plans for the beast tide?" Wang Qing said, putting down the vermilion gourd that he got out of nowhere.
Liu and Li were still hesitating, but Yuan Qing said lightly: "I want to go." ”
As soon as the words came out, Zhu Ling'er came out, and the rest looked at him in surprise.
Without waiting for someone to ask, Yuan Qing smiled and said, "Without him, conform to your heart." ”
Wang Qing frowned, and wanted to persuade him, but he heard Zhu Ling'er say softly: "Master has a word, if you don't go through killing, you don't know life and death, and it is difficult to succeed in Jindan." ”
"Senior sister is also going?" Wang Qing asked with a frown.
"Yes. Zhu Linger replied lightly, looking straight at Yuan Qing, unswerving.
Yuan Qing looked at Zhu Ling'er, his eyes were full of tenderness.
"Bang", Wang Qing put down the wine gourd and said loudly: "Even so, a certain family will also go! Hmph, such an opportunity to earn beast bone spirit materials and merit spirit stones, there is no such shop in this village!"
Li Yang thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Senior Sister Zhu is reasonable, and Li will go too." Then he turned his head to look at Liu Han and asked, "Brother Liu, how long have you been stuck in the middle of foundation building?"
Liu Han was about to answer, but after thinking about it, he knew what it meant, and said after a moment of silence: "There is a great terror between life and death, and there is also a great opportunity, and Liu will also go." ”
"Okay! At that time, the five of us will respond to each other, and see what this beast tide can do to me!" Wang Qing picked up the gourd and said loudly
Zhu Linger and Yuan Qing also raised their glasses, but Liu Li and Liu Li were the only ones who looked embarrassed with their wine glasses.
Suddenly, Liu Han's mind turned: "Brother Wang, Senior Brother Yuan, what kind of wine are you in this gourd?"
The two of them laughed when they heard this, Li Yang also understood, and laughed: "Okay, I drank the red flame wine myself, but I waited for me to drink this Laoshizi peach fairy wine!
Wang Qing laughed and took out two jars of red flame wine. Liu and Li patted the mud open, took a deep breath, and looked intoxicated. Then he raised a glass and invited, staggered with money, and returned half a day later.
After everyone left, Yuan Qing dispersed the smell of wine, muttered for a moment, and the sword broke through the air.
Flat peak, Tongbao Building.
"Yue'er, bring the chalcedony pill to Young Master Ben as well. Yes, and the Thousand Miles Instant Talisman was also brought along. Chen Mu shouted loudly as he stuffed various objects into his fingers.
"Young Master, do you have to go?" Yue'er asked sadly as she took the talisman and the elixir.
Chen Mu touched the little hand of the visitor, and said softly: "Not to mention how many spirit stones can be earned here, my brothers alone will never let go of such an opportunity to get ahead." If I don't go, how will I sit in the seat of this young pavilion master in the future. ”
"Young master, you must come back! The slave family doesn't want to be widowed at a young age!"
"Hehe, don't worry, Young Master Ben will come back completely, and I will ...... with you then."
......
Su family, ancestral ancestral hall.
A middle-aged man in a dark gold robe whispered to an old man in brown clothes, "Have you contacted the Nether Sect?"
"Go home, when the time is ripe, Sima Zhenren will lead the people to come. ”
The man nodded, and then said, "Let Qi'er and Yi'er also go to meet the beast tide." ”
The old man bowed his head and said yes, then bowed and retired.
The man turned to look at the ancestral tablet, and the light in his eyes was uncertain.
Seven days later, the Synagogue Square.
More than 100 monks in the foundation building period stood quietly, and the five people of the Yuan and Qing dynasties were also among them.
Suddenly, a white light flashed, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in white appeared in mid-air, her face like frost. glanced at the people below, and then said in a cold voice: "Board the ship and go." ”
There is no mistake
