Xuanyuan Xiazong, Houshan, six years later.

A boy of fourteen or fifteen years old was sitting cross-legged, his expression calm, and his body was emitting a faint silver light.

Less leaning, the silver light slowly entered the body, the young man opened his eyes, got up and walked slowly outside the house, at this time the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the moonlight poured down and sprinkled in the bamboo forest, and also sprinkled on him.

It was Yuan Qing.

In six years, Yuan Qing has grown from a slightly immature Taoist boy to a slender and thin boy, and his originally somewhat round face has now begun to have edges and corners.

Seemingly in a good mood, Yuan Qing casually hummed an unknown tune while walking towards Zhu Ling'er's house.

In the past six years, Yuan Qing has lived a very peaceful and fulfilling life, going to the Chuangong Pavilion to listen to the Fa at the end of the fifteenth and last month, from practicing Qi Heart to get the pill formation and then to the magic skills, it can be said that there are all kinds of things, all-encompassing.

Although there is no senior brother who explains kendo, after all, the stone of the mountain can attack jade, and Yuan Qing's comprehension of kendo has also made great progress over the years.

The monthly reading of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion has never been broken, and the book "Qi Cultivation Experience" has long been familiar with it, and the Five Elements Technique is also slightly involved, although it is not proficient, but it is still very easy to put a small fireball and send a water arrow.

Occasionally, I also went to the first floor to read some books on geography and customs, but I had a general understanding of the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding Chu and Han countries.

Three years ago, the small exam was also passed easily, but at the time of the small exam, the young man in military uniform from Chu State seemed to have written some deviant remarks, and he was very angry, but for some reason he finally gave it to him.

The rest of the time, in addition to "sparring" with Zhu Ling'er, he practiced the "Taibai Sword Sutra" alone.

"Taibai Sword Sutra" is worthy of the supreme kendo secret book handed down from ancient times, its content is as vast as a sea of smoke, and the insights on kendo are penetrating and detailed.

The book is divided into sword refining, sword forging, and sword raising, as well as swordsmanship and sword weapons.

Sword refining is divided into seven levels, corresponding to the realm of cultivation, but different from the general practice of exercises, sword refining is to use the internal organs and five elements of the furnace, the heaven and earth vitality calcined into a little pure sword qi stored in the dantian, the sword qi in the essence in the pure but not in the many, the sword qi gathers and the sword embryo is born, and then the birth is born, and the supreme sword is achieved.

The sword forging method is a set of mystical exercises to exercise one's own divine consciousness with the help of the natal sword weapon, and the so-called natal sword weapon and sword cultivation are connected by blood and weal and woe. The sword cultivation skills are all on this sword weapon, if the natal sword weapon is destroyed, not to mention the destruction of the sword, it is not much different.

When cultivating to the second sword embryo realm, the monk can use the earth fire to refine the natal sword weapon, the process is complicated and delicate, and it is very difficult, of course, when the sword is completed, the sword cultivation strength will also be greatly improved.

As for the sword cultivation method, it is how to conceive and nurture the natal sword weapon to turn it into a sword pill, and even give birth to the method of spiritual wisdom in the end.

Yuan Qing was still in the first realm at this time, but there were eight pure sword qi in the dantian, compared to the rest of the disciples full of qi sea is like a drop in the ocean, there are many disciples who entered the same period Although they did not show anything on the surface, deep down in their hearts they had already regarded them as invalids.

Yuan Qing didn't bother to argue with these people, so he didn't have any friends except Zhu Ling'er for six years.

Unconsciously walked to Zhu Ling'er's "Lingshui Pavilion", and seeing that there was no one in the house, Yuan Qing walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest.

Gradually, there is a sound of water, it is a small stream in the forest, it suddenly opens up after turning back against the stream, only to see a small waterfall hanging on the cliff wall that is not high, there is a clear waterhole under it, not far from the waterhole, a cardamom age girl, wearing a plain Taoist robe sitting on the bluestone, a blue ribbon on the top of her head stretches and flows in the air like a spirit.

Yuan Qing looked at Zhu Ling'er, she looked particularly quiet in the moonlight, and the flowers had not yet bloomed, but the color of the country could already be seen.

When he was slightly sluggish, a ball of water balloon smashed towards Yuan Qing, and Yuan Qing smiled helplessly: "Come again," and then the figure flickered and stood a foot away on the left side.

I saw the flow of the water balloon change, gradually forming a row of flying needles, pausing slightly, and flying "whoosh".

Seeing this, Yuan Qing could only helplessly shake his figure again, but instead of dodging into the distance, he flew towards Zhu Ling'er like the wind passing through.

The ribbon on Zhu Ling'er's head swirled slightly like a blue light and flew towards Yuan Qing, and at the same time, his hands pinched, and a water-blue shield appeared in front of him.

The turquoise light in Yuan Qing's hand flashed, it was the spirit wood sword, and then the body did not stop, the sword moved with the shadow, the sword light was heavy, and the sword qi was full of energy, but before the sword qi arrived, it was all blocked by the silk silk around him, and the occasional fish that slipped through the net hit the water shield and only caused some ripples.

Seeing that the surrounding ribbons seemed to be closing, Yuan Qing had no choice but to stop his body, hold his sword in front of him, hold his breath, and then swing forward heavily, only to see a thick blue sword qi flying away, and the blue silk silk gave up the momentum of closing and immediately resisted layer by layer.

Although the sword qi was blocked, it finally broke through the barriers and slashed on the water shield, and suddenly the water light scattered, and the sword qi passed through, leaving a sword mark about a foot long and about three inches deep on the bluestone, but Zhu Ling'er had long disappeared after the water shield.

Yuan Qing swung this sword, his body was slightly empty, and when he was recovering his breath, several small arrows suddenly appeared around him, and Zhu Ling'er was on the side at this time, with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Yuan Qing took the Lingmu sword, and then stood in place with his hands in his hands, his head slightly raised back, looking like he was being slaughtered.

Zhu Ling'er couldn't help but chuckle when she saw his style, waved her hand to collect the spell, recalled the silk silk casually, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, you will be killed when you lead the neck?"

Yuan Qing looked at Zhu Ling'er and didn't speak, but just felt the spiritual pressure on her body up close, and after a while, the two of them asked in surprise: "Zhu Ling'er, you have practiced the tenth layer of qi so quickly?"

Zhu Ling'er raised her chin and replied with a little pride: "That is, this fairy is extremely smart and talented, but it is only ten levels of qi training, isn't it as simple as eating and drinking, and it is not enough to worry about." Senior Brother Yuanqing, how many floors are you now?"

Yuan Qing glanced at her innocently, and did not answer, but instead defended in a loud voice: "Hmph, that is the convenience of the location given to you by this pond, it will be different if you change places!"

"Say, what are you doing looking for this fairy in the middle of the night?" Zhu Ling'er inserted her hands, really a bit of a posture to teach her junior brother.

"Hmph, this Sword Immortal is just tired of cultivating, and it's not okay to take a walk while the moonlight is just right. Yuan Qing said and walked towards Zhu Ling'er.

Six years ago, Yuan Qing was slightly shorter than Zhu Ling'er, but now he is half a head taller than her.

Zhu Ling'er said in amazement after circling around Yuan Qing: "This Taibai Sword Sutra is really wonderful, I can only feel the spiritual pressure like the third or fourth layer of Qi cultivation when I am so close to you, and your sword is even the tenth layer of Qi training, and if someone who doesn't know is fighting against you, he will definitely suffer a big loss!"

Yuan Qing sighed and said: "This smelting sword qi is really too difficult, I have been soaking in medicinal baths since I was a child, and the foundation of Pei Yuan Dan cannot be said to be thick, and now I have only refined eight sword qi, and the residual medicinal power in my body is even more than one in ten, think about it, it still needs four sword qi to be perfect, and after consummation, I still need to refine and melt qi to cast embryos, and the road is long!"

Zhu Ling'er gently patted Yuan Qing on the shoulder, and comforted him: "The so-called thick accumulation can thin hair, I know that you have not done your best, with your current strength, the tenth layer of Qi cultivation can be defeated in battle, it can be seen that although this sword scripture is difficult to practice, the power is really infinite, but this is not easy for the Yuan Great Sword Immortal with the body of the Nine Spirits Sword Body?"

Yuan Qing laughed when he heard this: "That's it, it's just a sword scripture, how can it be difficult for me to be a great sword immortal!"

As if he suddenly remembered something, his words changed: "By the way, in three days, it will be the next sect competition, can you, a great master of the tenth layer of qi training, want to participate?"

Zhu Ling'er seemed to have thought about this for a long time, and replied without thinking about it: "Now that I have entered the tenth-layer realm not long ago, my foundation is still shallow, and my 'Lotus Heart Sutra' has a long vein, and there is no powerful means to win. Maybe in another ten years, I will have broken through the twelfth floor, and I will be able to build a successful foundation, and I will not need to participate in the big competition at that time. ”

Yuan Qing listened and replied: "I am most likely going to participate in the next big competition, and it is really a bit difficult to cultivate to the second level in ten years." Grandpa said that everything is pre-planned, and if it is not pre-planned, it will be wasted, and I plan to observe and observe it in those days, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other will not be defeated in a hundred battles. ”

Zhu Ling'er nodded: "Yes, I will also accompany you, maybe I can't build a foundation, we still have to meet in the ring, and then you can ask Yuan Da Sword Immortal's subordinates to show mercy." ”

Yuan Qing grinned: "It's easy to say, hahaha." ”

Zhu Ling'er smiled slyly: "Yuan Da Sword Immortal, it's a long night, why don't you learn again, just pass the time?"

"I remembered that there was an urgent matter at home, so I said goodbye!" Yuan Qing took a step to help the wind, and it was really galloping, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Zhu Ling'er covered her mouth and chuckled, and all the water droplets around her also fell, and then her toes landed lightly on the previous bluestone, and she didn't sit down, just quietly looked at the moonlight in the pool, and then, I don't know what she thought, the corners of her mouth rose up with a beautiful arc.

Three days later.

Early in the morning, many disciples gathered in the Taiji Square in front of the Chuan Gong Pavilion, and there were two red lists standing on the side of the ring, one with twelve names written in gold dust, and the name of Senior Brother Feng, who was not allowed to enter, was also impressively listed, and it was the first one.

The other one reads the competition system and rewards: the big score is three days, the top six will be determined on the first day, the top three will be determined on the second day, and the first and second places will be divided on the third day.

The first two days of the game to adopt a two-by-two catch elimination system, the winner to advance to the next round, the third day to take the wheel battle, the winner to accumulate one point, two points for the first, one point for the second.

The first prize is Zhuji Dan, and one day of entering the Shangzong Ning Yuan Spirit Pond, and the second prize is Zhu Ji Dan.

When Yuan Qing and Zhu Ling'er arrived at Taiji Square, it was almost noon, five Taishi chairs were placed in front of the hall, and a circle of disciples stood around the ring watching the battle.

When I arrived at noon, I saw five figures appear in front of the hall, one of them was still wearing a dark color robe, with an outstanding demeanor, it was Senior Brother Xu, and the other four were all wearing moon-white robes, with their heads in a bun.

The first person on the left hand is actually the old man in the left hall, I saw that his posture was quite straight, with a white robe, which really had a sense of truth; the second person on the left hand was a middle-aged man, this person's surname was Sun, who had taught the Dharma with the disciples in the Chuangong Pavilion and was proficient in the Five Elements Technique.

The first person on the right hand is a Taoist aunt in her thirties, surnamed Yu, who has explained the Danfa array to the disciples, and the second person on the right hand has white hair but is quite burly, surnamed Wang, and has explained the way of refining weapons to the disciples.

When everyone saw these five people, they all bowed and saluted, saying, "I've seen Senior Brother Xu." ”

Xu Jingtian took a step forward, returned the salute, and then spoke, his voice was not loud but clear: "Today's big competition is a competition in the same door, only winning or losing, not deciding life and death." If one party leaves the stage or admits defeat, the game will be terminated, and all the juniors and disciples can show their magical powers. Without further ado, the game begins. With that, he returned to his seat and sat down.

"In the first game, Feng Xifeng vs. Zhu Yunpeng. ”

I saw that Tian Yi, who was still in an apricot yellow robe, appeared in the middle of the ring at some point, and as soon as his voice fell, Senior Brother Feng, who had changed into a plain robe, took the stage from the west side of the ring, and at the same time, a sturdy man came to the stage from the east side.

After the two stood still, Tian Yi announced: "The game begins." ”

The two first saluted each other, and then stepped on each other, and rushed towards each other at the same time.
