Chapter 12: Enlightenment

Xuanyuan Xiazong, Houshan.

In the middle of the moon, the cold moonlight falls on a lush bamboo forest, the breeze blows, the bamboo leaves rustle, the bamboo shadow swaying, the silver glow seems to smell the sound of dancing, misty like falling into a dream.

In a small clearing in the forest, a young man in a plain robe holds a blue wooden sword, his body and gossip, like a swimming dragon, a sword is handed out, the mystery is hidden, unpredictable.

Its momentum has changed, one move is ruthless and fierce, the sword shadow is forested, and the murderous spirit is soaring.

Its momentum changed again, its actions were like the wind, the sword light was faint and erratic, and the abbot was full of sword shadows.

Suddenly, the young man stood up and collected the sword, concentrating, its momentum was majestic, such as Yue Ruyuan, a sword was split, a round of crescent moon seemed to rise in the forest, the silver light flashed, the green bamboo within a zhang of the sword light turned into fine powder, the silver moon castrated more than once, and went straight to ten zhang away.

A crystal ice shield appeared out of thin air in front of the silver moon, but in a single breath, the ice shield turned into a fragment, followed by the second and third sides...... Finally, there was a bang, and the sword qi and the seventh ice shield were wiped out.

"Yuan Qing, you are chopping bamboo here again, you have tea sets, tables and chairs, what else do you want to do?" Zhu Ling'er walked over with a smile and stepped on the crumbs all the way.

Yuan Qing put away his sword when he heard this and asked, "Zhu Ling'er, why are you here?"

Zhu Ling'er rolled her eyes and said, "This place is not far from the waterhole, the spiritual pressure on your body has skyrocketed before, of course I noticed it." Say, what should I be guilty of disturbing this fairy Qingxiu?"

Yuan Qing smiled: "Then I can only ask Fairy Zhu to deign to move to the cold house, there is still some coarse tea, if you don't dislike it, you should make amends." The tone is yin and yang, especially the word "Zhu" is particularly stressed.

Zhu Ling'er just didn't hear it, and replied: "Okay, this fairy hasn't drunk awakening tea for a few days, so let's go." ”

Saying that, he didn't care about Yuan Qing, and took the lead and walked towards his Qingyuanju. Yuan Qing shook his head with a smile and followed behind.

At this time, two years have passed since Dabi.

In the past two years, Zhu Ling'er has already reached the eleventh layer of Qi cultivation, and her cultivation realm has become more and more sophisticated.

Yuan Qing practiced harder than in the past, not only practiced the "Taiyi Xuanmen Sword" and "Wuji Killing Sword" collected in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and the "Fufeng Sword Technique" and "Linyuan Sword Technique" passed down from his grandfather to the realm of perfection, but also refined the ninth sword qi in the "Taibai Sword Sutra".

As soon as this ninth sword qi came out, it immediately merged with the other eight dao to form a sword embryo, but it lacked the blades on both sides and the sword spine in the middle, and the sword qi it emitted was even more powerful.

As for the Five Elements Spell, after watching Jiang Shangzhen's several battles, Yuan Qing naturally tried it, but for some reason, he couldn't do it, and he didn't know why he asked Senior Brother Jiang several times. However, after dozens of failures, the light body technique was finally able to be successfully performed.

Jiang Shangzhen went to the Chuangong Pavilion almost every morning to answer questions and solve doubts for all the juniors and disciples since the Great Competition, and looked like he was enjoying it; Feng Xifeng and Zhao Feiyan successfully built the foundation after one month and two months respectively, and were admitted to the Shangzong.

Zhao Feiyan went to visit Jiang Shangzhen before leaving, and left with a resolute face an hour later.

Yuan Qing and Zhu Ling'er returned to Qingyuanju to sit down, Zhu Ling'er condensed a basin-sized water droplet, water like a mountain spring flowed into the teapot below and the size of the water droplets did not decrease, when the pot gradually filled, his fingers tapped, the water flow stopped, and the water droplets also became a misty water vapor, and the big sleeves scattered into the surrounding bamboo forest. Then he flicked his fingers, and a little flame flew to the bottom of the pot, but in the blink of an eye, the water was boiling, and Yuan Qing used this water to skillfully cook tea.

Speaking of which, the old man stuffed a lot of good things into Yuanqing's package, just the awakening tea was filled with ten catties, as well as two bottles of Pei Yuan Dan, and a copy of "Linyuan Sword Technique".

Pei Yuandan was eaten by Yuan Qing a year ago, and the two of them drank the awakening tea almost every half month for the past two years, and there were only three or two catties left.

After drinking tea and meditating for a while, Yuan Qing sighed: "I have mastered these four swordsmanship, but the four are fighting for themselves, and I always feel that there is something missing, and they cannot be consummated; ”

Zhu Ling'er pondered for a moment and said, "Yuan Qing, do you still remember the thunder method used by Senior Brother Jiang during the big competition?"

"Naturally remember. ”

"The Five Elements Technique is originally a battle for each other, gathering and generating thunder, have you ever asked Senior Brother Jiang about the key to it?"

Yuan Qing shook his head and said, "That's not true, since I know that the way of magic is extinct, I haven't consulted Senior Brother Jiang." Are you saying there should be something in common?"

"The so-called stones of other mountains can attack jade, you might as well listen to it. ”

Early the next morning, Yuan Qing went to the Transmission Pavilion early in the morning, and saw that Jiang Shang was really explaining the Mu Xing technique to a junior disciple, so he waited for a while, and only after the junior brother left, did he come forward to ask for advice.

"Senior Brother Yuan, why are you here today, your Five Elements Technique, Senior Brother is also powerless. Jiang Shangzhen saw Yuan Qing and laughed without waiting for him to speak.

"Senior brother laughed, Yuan Qing didn't ask about the spell here, but just asked the senior brother about the change of the thunder law, I wonder if the senior brother can tell me?"

Jiang Shangzhen was quite surprised, but then smiled heartily: "What's so difficult about this, most of the junior disciples who came here are asking about this, you listen well." ”

Yuan Qing leaned forward slightly, and listened attentively to him and said: "Thunder, the change of the five elements of yin and yang is also." Yin and Yang are not clear, so the five elements are born to overcome the thunder of heavenly punishment. The way of life is not immutable, such as the encounter of water and fire, the fire is extinguished when the water is large, and the water is dried up when the fire is strong; I use a little divine thought as a guide and the qi of the five elements, and use the way of mutual life to circulate endlessly, and finally gather a trace of thunder true intention, and the true intention feeds on the five qi, and finally gets a thunderbolt. Senior Brother Yuan, have you gained something?"

Yuan Qing was silent for a moment and then said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang, for solving your doubts." ”

After speaking, he said goodbye and left, and immediately sat down cross-legged after returning to the bamboo house, repeating what Jiang Shangzhen said in his head.

Two hours later, Yuan Qing had a flash of inspiration: "Take the divine thought as the guide, take the divine thought as the guide...... The change of the five elements needs to be guided by divine thoughts! The sword technique cannot be perfected because it only has its form and no meaning!"

Knowing this section, the young man's heart stirred, and his mind involuntarily began to practice the Fufeng Sword Technique.

Different from the practice on weekdays, this exercise, one move and one style is extremely slow and clear, as if the whole set of swordsmanship is split into a split and a stab, and a little pick.

Twelve hours passed quickly, and at this time, all the sword moves in Yuan Qing's mind disappeared, leaving only a sword light, like a wind and clouds, and the sword qi was strong; at the same time, a faint silver glow appeared on his body, and the sword-shaped remnant embryo in the dantian slowly rotated.

Suddenly, Yuan Qing opened his eyes, two fine lights flashed, got up and walked outside the house, just a flash appeared outside the three zhang, a few flashes into the depths of the bamboo forest, a sword out, the sword wind is formless, the bamboo forest in front of the three zhang is all turned into flying debris, leaving only the stumps all over the ground.

Yuan Qing closed his eyes and quietly felt the heartiness of this sword, for a long time, like drinking alcohol, and returned to the bamboo house step by step.

In the blink of an eye, it was two spring and autumn seasons, and on this day, Yuan Qing cultivated the sword in the house, and only the "Wuji Killing Sword" of the four swordsmanship was not understood, and the sword qi in the body also increased.

Yuan Qing was influenced by his grandfather and many Taoist classics since he was a child, and his temperament was calm and detached, and he had added some sharpness to his sword practice for many years, but he had little understanding of the way of killing.

The young man was a little bored, got up and went out and walked aimlessly, and before he knew it, he had reached the west side of Houshan.

Different from the bamboo forest and secluded pool in the east, the west side is a towering cliff that cuts off the mountain range, many disciples' caves are the grottoes on this cliff, there is a plank road that is only enough for one person to pass on the cliff, connected by iron cables, spiraling and twisting upwards, quite precipitous.

Yuan Qing looked at it twice and turned back, but came to Zhu Ling'er's room again, and met Zhu Ling'er Shi Shiran coming out of the house.

"Yuan Qing, what are you doing in front of my room?"

"I was bored and walked around, and somehow I ended up with you. What are you doing here?"

"I have just gained a little from cultivation, and I am about to go to the edge of Qingtan to try my supernatural powers. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Qing looked at Zhu Ling'er carefully, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, and even more bored.

"You... You're already twelve?"

"Well, it's only been a breakthrough. It looks like you're in trouble with your practice. Why is there still a difficulty that our Yuan Great Sword Immortal can't get over?" Zhu Ling'er asked as she walked towards the waterhole with Yuan Qing.

"After I asked Senior Brother Jiang for advice, I concentrated on the sword, but this "Infinite Killing Sword" is extremely heavy on killing intent, I have never done anything to kill, and I have never done anything to fight with you, and I have never had to go all out. ”

When the two arrived at the waterhole, Zhu Ling'er suddenly said: "Yuan Qing, let's fight, you and I will go all out, how about it?"

Yuan Qing looked at her with a look of surprise when he heard this: "Zhu Ling'er, I haven't achieved kendo now, if I miss, I'm afraid I will hurt you." ”

"You and I have never gone all out, and I want to see how good I am. ”

Yuan Qing pondered for a moment, and then said: "Then you be careful, my sword qi is extremely lethal now, if you can't resist it, don't hold it hard." ”

Zhu Ling'er replied with a smile: "What, my twelfth-layer master can't help a ninth-layer little monk?"

Before he finished speaking, a drop of water struck, turning into an arrow in the air, and a blue ribbon came to the ground like a poisonous snake.

Yuan Qing's figure appeared three zhang away, but as soon as he showed his figure, several crystal ice blades exuded a cold aura in front of him, and the silk silk on the side also made a sharp turn and attacked his back.

In desperation, Yuan Qing reminded loudly: "Ling'er be careful, I'm going to take out the sword." ”

After speaking, he took out the spirit wood sword and swung it over, and suddenly the sword wind rose, and the ice blades in front of him were all shattered, and the sword wind did not stop, and it attacked Zhu Ling'er directly.

Then he put his sword on his side, concentrated, and stabbed out when the ribbon was about to touch his sleeve.

I saw a silver sword qi like a dragon coming out of the abyss, holding a ribbon all the way to ten zhang away, and his body moved, rushing towards Zhu Ling'er like a storm.

When Zhu Ling'er saw the sword wind coming, he immediately gathered four wide and thick water shields, and then the four shields merged into one, and a crystal clear water curtain stood in front of him.

The sword wind hit the water curtain and stirred up a gust of water, but it was never able to break through.

At this time, Yuan Qing's figure appeared behind the water curtain, and layers of sword shadows attacked like a storm.

Zhu Ling'er hurriedly pinched the trick, and immediately raised an ice shield behind him, the ice thorns on the shield were dense, and after the ice shield, there was a water shield, and the water flow turned into a stream and flowed into the ice shield in front of him.

Ice chips flew, and the sword shadow was taken down, and in an instant, countless ice spikes rushed towards it like a rainstorm pear blossom, and the cold air bursted.

Yuan Qing retreated three zhang, and then stepped to move the sword, the sword momentum changed mysteriously, and a faint Taiji virtual picture was formed at the tip of its sword.

The ice spike attacked, but with the flow of the sword, it rushed towards Zhu Ling'er the same way, and finally the two of them collided, leaving only ice chips all over the ground.

Yuan Qing was about to turn the offensive, but he saw Zhu Ling'er holding a water balloon in his hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Yuan Qing, I was also inspired by Senior Brother Jiang in this water mine technique, and it was only practiced after the twelfth layer, you can be careful." ”

After speaking, with a gentle support, the water balloon flew into the air, and with Zhu Ling'er's soft shout, the surface of the water balloon became uneven, and finally elongated into a water-blue arc, accompanied by a thunderous roar, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the top of Yuan Qing's head and slashed down.

Yuan Qing was already depressed in his heart, and at this moment, he was even more irritable when he saw this thunder technique, and he couldn't help but use the Wuji Killing Sword, only to see him swing a sword and a sword unpretentious, but there was a silver sword qi spurting out and hitting the mine, and the sword qi was connected end to end into a line of silver light.

The silver light was broken, and the thunder was pressing forward step by step, but the young man suddenly withdrew his sword at this time, gathering the sword qi of his whole body and swinging out with various negative emotions such as depression and irritability for many days.

The sword qi is like a rainbow, shaped like a crescent moon, swallowing light and devouring qi all the way, and finally carrying the thunder straight into the sky.

There was a bang, a drizzle fell in the sky, and the two stood quietly in the rain together, Zhu Ling'er looked at Yuan Qing, her eyes were full of smiles.

Yuan Qing looked at the sky in a daze, and he realized.
