Section 9: Strange external forces

In Chaoyang Residence, Qin Xuetong opened her eyes after practicing for a few hours, but saw that He Xiaoxiao was still holding a wooden sword, constantly practicing straight stabs. He Xiaoxiao's head was covered with sweat, his right hand was red, swollen and bleeding, and his back and thighs trembled unconsciously, but he always maintained the same sword posture. It was as if an invisible external force was supporting He Xiaoxiao.

On He Xiaoxiao's Taoist heart and persistence, Qin Xuetong likes and admires it from the bottom of her heart.

After repeated practice, He Xiaoxiao suddenly stabbed an extremely fast sword. The air was torn apart with a sword roar. This sword was so fast, it was by no means an ordinary day after tomorrow that a disciple could easily dodge.

He Xiaoxiao was pleasantly surprised, happy for the breakthrough in swordsmanship, and subconsciously looked at the eaves in the sky, his eyes revealing a desire to be praised.

On the eaves, Si Dao closed his eyes and basked in the sun, without any response.

Since the end of the three fights, He Xiaoxiao and Qin Xuetong followed Si Dao to the annex of Chaoyang Ju. Originally, after Si Dao Shi showed his amazing swordsmanship, Qin Xuetong did not object to He Xiaoxiao deliberately looking for Si Dao's help to improve his swordsmanship. But in fact, after a few hours, Si Dao was like a dead man, always staying in a state of lying corpse.

He Xiaoxiao didn't get any guidance, just imitated Si Dao's movements, and stabbed directly, collected the sword, stabbed directly, and collected the sword alone.

At this moment, He Xiaoxiao relied on his own efforts to concentrate his strength on the sword, and finally stabbed an extraordinary sword. During the whole process, Si Dao had been sleeping, and nothing happened. However, He Xiaoxiao is still eager to be recognized by the priest.

This made Qin Xuetong feel dissatisfied.

Qin Xuetong clapped her hands, praised He Xiaoxiao's efforts, and then said, "Xiaoxiao, do you know what I like about you the most?"

He Xiaoxiao no longer looked at the priest on the eaves, but at Qin Xuetong.

Qin Xuetong continued: "We all know that the immortal path is difficult to reach the blue sky, so talent is particularly important. However, when it comes to talent, most people only know about the spiritual root, but they don't know that there are two other more precious talents. ”

When He Xiaoxiao heard this, his face was puzzled: "Senior sister, doesn't the cultivation talent refer to the spiritual root? Xiaoxiao doesn't know, what are the other two talents besides the spiritual root?"

Qin Xuetong smiled: "The spiritual root is important. But the world is so big, those with excellent spiritual roots are not a small number, but there are very few people who really reach the other side. If a person only has a good spiritual root talent, but he doesn't know diligence at all, he will only end up hurting Zhongyong. ”

When speaking, Qin Xuetong deliberately looked at Si Dao on the eaves, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Some people rely on their good swordsmanship talent, but they live in panic and think they are sorry. But I don't know that diligence is by no means something that everyone can do. But I don't know that diligence is the greatest talent. ”

Qin Xuetong means Sidao. He Xiaoxiao didn't hear Qin Xuetong's ridicule of Si Dao, she only thought it was Qin Xuetong's admonition to her.

He Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement: "What Senior Sister said is very true. Xiaoxiao didn't dare to slack off, and she was definitely diligent and lived up to the expectations of her sister and master. ”

He Xiaoxiao thought that Qin Xuetong warned her not to be complacent.

Qin Xuetong nodded with satisfaction: "Xiaoxiao, in the past six months, we can see your efforts and efforts." You don't have to be presumptuous, just keep it as you are, that's what we look forward to. ”

"Thank you for your teachings. Senior sister, you haven't told me yet, in addition to spiritual roots and diligence, what is another talent?" He Xiaoxiao asked.

"Dao Heart!" Qin Xuetong replied affirmatively.

"Dao Heart, what is Dao Heart?" He Xiaoxiao continued to ask.

When it comes to cultivating immortals, He Xiaoxiao is always very serious and attentive. She has an indescribable attachment to the fairy path.

Qin Xuetong thought for a moment or two, and then replied: "There are no distracting thoughts, forgetfulness, selflessness, pure heart, no desires and no desires." In my opinion, you are already a person with a Dao heart today. ”

He Xiaoxiao hurriedly shook his head: "How can I have a senior sister who is generally good." Actually, I have a lot of fluctuations in my heart. That's why I cultivate immortals, but I hope to be strong and not hurt again. ”

As he spoke, He Xiaoxiao's face was sad, as if he remembered something bad in the past.

Qin Xuetong hugged He Xiaoxiao comfortingly, and said seriously: "You won't be hurt again." In the future, the master and I will protect you. In the future, the Worry-Free Immortal Sect will protect you. In the future, no one will hurt you again. I am sure that soon, you will become our protector. Soon, everything will be hard to hurt you half a point. ”

He Xiaoxiao could feel Qin Xuetong's genuine concern. Since coming to the Worry-Free Immortal Sect, the care and love in all aspects have never left He Xiaoxiao.

He Xiaoxiao's swordsmanship with a very different style from the Worry-Free Immortal Sect always came to Chaoyang Ju to see Si Dao, and the package contained an extremely effective recovery elixir. All of this has never been investigated or opposed by the Worry-Free Immortal Sect. The master and sister only suggested, but never took any strong measures to stop it.

Everyone can feel that something must have happened to He Xiaoxiao in the past. He Xiaoxiao didn't say anything about these things, so no one asked.

At this moment, Si Dao, who had been sleeping for a long time, suddenly spoke: "People can only rely on themselves. If you want to protect others, you must be so strong that the heavens and the earth cannot shake you. ”

Si Dao seemed to be responding to Qin Xuetong's words just now. His words were full of disdain, as if he was satirizing the feelings of the sect in Qin Xuetong's mouth.

Hearing this, Diligent Xue immediately frowned and retorted: "Fallacy! Immortal cultivators rely on heaven and earth to cultivate. The predecessors of the Supreme Jie Dan even borrowed the power of heaven and earth to perform the supreme immortal art that affected heaven and earth. Don't you think it's contradictory and ridiculous?"

Si Dao turned sideways and continued to sleep, without responding.

Qin Xuetong continued: "Why don't you speak? Realize your own insignificance? Also, you are just an acquired mortal, compared to heaven and earth, but as small as insects and ants. ”

He Xiaoxiao grabbed the corner of Qin Xuetong's clothes. She didn't want Qin Xuetong to continue to say that Si Dao was not.

Qin Xuetong let out a long sigh. She knew that He Xiaoxiao had a great relationship with Si Dao. However, she still said to He Xiaoxiao earnestly: "Xiaoxiao, the master has always been tolerant of you. There are many words, and Senior Sister has already said them to you many times. However, you must understand that Senior Sister is for your good. Actually, I don't approve of you learning mortal swordsmanship at all. Right now, you haven't broken through the innate realm yet, and the mortal dust swordsmanship can indeed allow you to improve your strength. However, have you ever thought that once you break through to the innate realm, the mortal dust sword technique will no longer work. The supreme immortal art is the capital of the cultivator's battle. If you really insist on learning the supreme sword, you can completely ask Senior Brother Wei Changkong Wei for advice. Senior Brother Wei is proficient in swordsmanship, and he has already stepped into the gate of sword intent in half a step. With such a kendo master in front of you, why don't you learn from the master?"

He Xiaoxiao understands Qin Xuetong's kindness very well. She nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Actually, Si Dao didn't teach me swordsmanship. ”

"Oh?"

"He just taught me basic sword moves. True swordsmanship will be taught to me by immortal cultivators who have mastered sword intent. He Xiaoxiao said truthfully.

In fact, in Qin Xuetong's opinion, Si Dao only knows how to sleep all day long, and has never taught He Xiaoxiao any sword moves at all.

"Immortal cultivators who have mastered sword intent? He really dares to say that the world is so big, how many immortal cultivators are there who really master sword intent?" Qin Xuetong only thought that Si Dao was talking big again, "Besides, didn't your sword moves be learned under the application of nameless external forces?"

There is a very strange thing about He Xiaoxiao. She is sometimes oppressed by some external force and forcibly makes some movements. It was under the pressure of external forces that she learned a different sword posture. Not only that, but when she trains, external forces constantly correct the correctness of her posture. Therefore, He Xiaoxiao does not need the guidance of outsiders to ensure and maintain the correctness of the sword posture.

Of course, the strange external force was said by He Xiaoxiao, and it has not been verified in practice. Previously, Qin Xuetong's mother, Qin Xianzi, had explored He Xiaoxiao's body and did not find any traces of external force or spiritual power.

In Qin Xuetong's view, the so-called external force is just a way for He Xiaoxiao to escape from reality. He Xiaoxiao couldn't get out of the past or the disaster of the collapse of the He family, so he used external forces as a spiritual support.

Anyway, if He Xiaoxiao wanted to say that everything was Professor Si Dao, Qin Xuetong would definitely not believe it. After all, Si Dao was just a waste disciple of the third layer of the day after tomorrow.

After listening to Qin Xuetong's question, He Xiaoxiao did not deny it: "It is indeed because of external forces, Si Dao did not teach me by hand." However, that strange external force began after meeting Si Dao. ”

"Do you believe that Si Dao can exert a mysterious power that the master can't even detect? In that case, wouldn't Si Dao become a Jiedan senior? A Jiedan senior may be like mud?" Qin Xuetong shook her head helplessly.

He Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, and then remained firm: "I can't say why, but I know that Si Dao is a very ruthless person." ”

"Actually, the amazing person is you. In the entire Worry-Free Immortal Sect, the only person who has the best spiritual root is you. ”

While the two were talking, someone came to Sidao's villa again.

It stands to reason that Si Dao has never had fellowship with anyone, and he does not know who is here.

The door opened, and the person who came was not unfamiliar, but it was a little unexpected. The people who came were Wei Changkong and Wei Ziqing.
