The house was clean and simple, with no furniture in sight except for the wooden bed, table and chairs, and a calligraphy and painting hanging from the bedside.

The wooden bed, tables and chairs seem to be cleaned from time to time, and they are spotless, but the calligraphy and paintings on the bedside are more attractive to Xu Baichuan in comparison.

The reason why calligraphy and painting are said to be calligraphy and painting, as the name suggests, is a painting with handwriting.

The calligraphy and painting depicts a young swordsman practicing his sword, and in the margins is a sentence of encouragement to practice.

"Cultivation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. ”

Xu Baichuan recited this cultivation sentence, carefully pondered the meaning, and then nodded solemnly in agreement.

If you want not to step into the abyss, you must continue to practice upwards until you reach the pinnacle and completely leave the abyss.

After laying out the futon on the wooden bed, and after tidying up, he removed the table and chairs, placed food on them, wiped his mouth after a simple meal, and was about to go to bed, but before he could sleep, he was disturbed by the presence of a person.

The Taoist priest smiled and stood outside the door, making a knocking gesture with his hand, and after seeing Xu Baichuan, he took the lead in asking directly before Xu Baichuan could speak: "Brother Xu, do you still have any magic weapons left?"

Xu Baichuan probably knew what the purpose of coming was and nodded, "There are quite a few, do you want them?"

For the magic weapon talisman, Xu Baichuan doesn't use it much at any time except for using it when necessary, it is enough for sword cultivation to have a sword, and magic weapons are more for sword cultivation to exchange.

Xu Baichuan's previous use of exchanging books was also based on this.

There are about 80 books in the treasure building, and more than 40 magic weapons are also paid, for ordinary monks to have two or three magic weapons, it is already considered a deep net worth, like Xu Baichuan is an alternative, so no matter how much the magic weapon pays, he will not feel distressed, the Taoist priest now expresses his desire to change the magic weapon, Xu Baichuan naturally will not refuse.

It's just that I hope the Taoist priest still has a book in his hand that can make Xu Baichuan's heart move.

As soon as the Taoist priest heard this, he felt that there was a door, rubbed his hands, and smiled more and more brightly, "Brother Xu is really discerning, Xiaodao is such an idea, this is not tomorrow I will go inside, I don't know what the situation is inside, Xiaodao has no bottom in his heart, so he wants to make more preparations, Xu Baichuan If there is any magic weapon left, he might as well exchange with Xiaodao, Xiaodao will definitely satisfy Brother Xu." ”

As he spoke, the Taoist priest flipped his hand and took out three books when he raised his hand.

Xu Baichuan took the book and roughly flipped through a few pages, shook his head after pondering for a moment, and bluntly said that these books had already been read, and there was no need for them.

The Taoist priest sighed, very surprised, and wanted to argue that it was impossible, but he held back, so he had to take the book back, and sighed and left after saying a word of interruption.

Xu Baichuan didn't have much feeling about this, just treated it as a small episode, it was best to have a book to change, and it would be successful if there was none.

He closed the door with his backhand, and then casually set up a warning sword array, and lay on the bed with his clothes closed, breathing steadily, and gradually fell asleep.

At the same time, not long after Xu Baichuan fell asleep, in the room forty meters away from him, the black-robed man was talking to the hook-nosed man.

"Sanqi shares the benefits plus the inheritance of the Tianmen Sword Cultivation, the benefits of letting go out are inevitably too much, he is just a small sword cultivator in the Lingtong realm, can he eat so much?" asked the hook-nosed man with squinted eyes.

"What else can I do, even if he can't eat it, he has to let it, the promise has been promised, can he still regret it?" said the black-robed man a little helplessly.

The hook-nosed man said with a gloomy face: "It's not impossible to regret it, anyway, he's just a little sword cultivator, even if he has some famous strength, it's just to deal with juniors, can he make waves in front of you and me......?" Then send him to hell. ”

After hearing this, the black runner hurriedly shook his head, " No, you have been here for several years, the outside news is relatively closed, for ordinary people to have this kind of thought, it is understandable, but for this is not good, you must know that this sword cultivation called Xu Baichuan is not ordinary, he came out of the Sword Sect, it is said that he still has the name of the first person of the Sword Sect, the Sword Sect is now very unusual, the sect master Yang also became a sword immortal on Chinese New Year's Eve last year, a sword immortal can imagine that you understand without me saying, so I advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble for yourself, and the benefits can not be let out, at most eat less, but if you provoke Yang Yi, believe it or not, no matter if you hide to the ends of the earth, you will be killed, even if you are a big demon or a saint, you can't please it. ”

The hook-nosed man pricked his mouth, a little surprised, "It seems that my news is indeed outdated, Yang Yi actually became a sword immortal, plus Lin Shugui before, so doesn't there be two sword immortals in sword cultivation?

"No matter what, the saints of the three religions have always been at odds with the sword immortals, according to the news, on the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, not only the saints of the three religions made a move, but even two big demons made a move, but even this did not make any useful effect, but also accompanied a saint, Lin Shugui is still alive and well, Yang Yi has also become a sword immortal, now the sword correction is gradually recovering, according to the temper of the two sword immortals, there will definitely be a big move in the future, you, it's better not to hit the sword, otherwise I don't know how to die at that time." 。 ”

This is a heartfelt statement, the love is sincere, the hook-nosed man is not a stubborn person, he can naturally listen to it, and the dissatisfaction in his heart has disappeared as early as when the name of the sword immortal moves out.

Compared to the Sword Immortal, the hook-nosed man was just an inconspicuous speck of dust, as if the fireflies could compete with Haoyue, so he no longer had strange thoughts in his heart, but was thinking about how to deal with Xu Baichuan.

There are many friends and many paths in this world, even if you can't be friends, you can't be enemies.

The hook-nosed man is not stupid, and he naturally understands all this.

——

In a flash, the sun was sinking in the west, and it was strange that although there was a fog outside the valley, the sun's rays could still shine in without hindrance, and it was impossible to tell what the reason was for the time being, but it was better than nothing.

Xu Baichuan pushed open the door and looked up to see this kind of scene, and after looking at it for a while, he felt bored, so he no longer paid attention, but took advantage of the time to start looking at the scene.

Walking in a few places, you can see that they are actually the same, whether it is the size of the house, the material, or the surrounding layout are almost the same, the only thing that has changed is that the calligraphy and painting hanging on the head of the bed are different.

There are many kinds of calligraphy and paintings, there are old men and old women, there are young people and girls, and the depictions on them are varied, and it seems that it should be the portrait of the owner of the house at that time.

It's just that the years have passed, and the calligraphy and painting have been preserved intact, but the owner has not survived.

Xu Baichuan was going around here, and on the other side, the black-robed man had already discussed the matter, and after seeing Yu Baichuan, he walked over to him, and the black-robed man wanted to take Xu Baichuan to see the sword formation, and by the way, he could be a little sure.

Xu Baichuan did not refuse, and readily agreed, after all, he has come so far to come here and this is what he did, since he has come, there is no reason to retreat, as for whether it will succeed or not, he must take a look and give it a try.

Led by the black-robed man, the two of them walked around all the houses on the edge and then came to the flat land near the center.

Although it looks small because it is close to the center, it actually occupies a large area, and the sword array will not block the view until the invasion is launched, so you can directly see most of the scene in the center from here.

Including the scattered corpses and magic weapons, there is already a sword.

Xu Baichuan was silent for a long time after seeing it, and the black-robed man didn't make a sound to disturb, so he stood quietly next to him without saying a word.

Xu Baichuan asked in a low tone, "There should be a corpse outside, right?"

The black-robed man responded, "Yes, what you see now is the scene we cleaned up, when we first came, there were indeed corpses everywhere, more precisely, they were all bones, compared to these lying in the big array, the strength outside is not enough, and the flesh and blood on the body have already been exhausted in the long years, and it is fortunate that the bones can be left." ”

"Buried?"

"Buried, if you want to see it, I'll take you to see it later. ”

Xu Baichuan whispered thank you.

The black-robed man waved his hand.

Xu Baichuan didn't say more, took a deep breath, and instead focused all his mind on the sword formation that was about to appear, pressed the autumn wind on his waist with his right hand, and pulled out half an inch slightly.

The cold light shines.

A strong wind suddenly arises!

The wind was howling from all directions, carrying sword qi and blowing towards the sword array with its thoughts.

The sword array reacted in an instant, and every time the wind blew through one place, the dazzling white light lit up in that place, and the white light radiated out, illuminating the entire sky.

Xu Baichuan took a deep breath again, the range of movements in his hands increased, and the autumn wind pulled out half an inch outward, and at the same time, the wind became more and more serious.

It's resonance.

In the way of sword cultivation!

The sword cultivation avenue is the same way, no matter what kind of sword formation as the basic composition is controlled by the sword qi plus the formation, for outsiders, the sword qi will collude with the formation and spare no effort to drive away and kill, but for the sword cultivation treatment is different.

In layman's terms, it's like relatives visiting each other, after reporting their past history and proving their bloodline, can relatives still do it to relatives?

After the half-burnt incense, the wind dissipated, and the white light gradually faded, Xu Baichuan put the autumn wind back little by little, reached out to wipe the sweat off his head, and showed a relieved expression.

The scene just now was huge enough to attract attention, and not long before the white light began to emit, the people who were staying here had already arrived.

A man in a black robe and a Taoist woman, a man with a hooked nose and a young man.

There are five people in total, and that's all.

Before Xu Baichuan could speak after wiping his sweat, the hook-nosed man couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, are you sure that you can break it?"

The voice was like thunder, extremely loud, and it seemed that it was indeed impatient.

Xu Baichuan shook his head and said softly: "The sword array is the Tianmen Sword Formation, I think it should be under the master of this sect, although the power has decreased a little over time, but it is not that I can break it if I want to, I can't break the formation." ”

The eagle-hooked nose man couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, and the black-robed man frowned and was not very happy, and was about to say something to ask Xu Baichuan to leave, but before he could say anything, he heard Xu Baichuan's voice again.

"But although it can't break the formation, it's feasible to let you in. ”

The black-robed man tugged at the corners of his mouth, a little speechless, thinking that since he could let us in, why didn't he explain it directly at the beginning, but instead gasped so much, it made Bai worry.

Not only did the black-robed man think so, but so did the other four, but thinking that he was asking Xu Baichuan now, he could only think about it, and he didn't dare to make a noise.

Xu Baichuan said slowly: "Do you want to go in now or go tomorrow morning according to the original plan?"

The black-robed man groaned, there was actually nothing to think about about this, anyway, they had already arrived here, and the way to get in had been found, and the monk couldn't run to the temple, and there was no difference between later and earlier.

In fact, it was not this that made the black-robed man ponder, but about Xu Baichuan's previous sentence.

You can't break the formation, but you can let them in.

There is nothing wrong with this at first hearing, but if you think about it carefully, you can realize the deep meaning contained in it.

might as well boldly assume that if Xu Baichuan said that he couldn't break the formation, it wasn't because he couldn't, but because he didn't want to, so did he have ulterior motives for letting them in?

The black-robed people didn't know much about sword cultivation, and they only knew a few words about Xu Baichuan, if after entering, this young sword cultivator wanted to swallow his mind and launched a sword formation to kill them, then how should they deal with themselves?

You must know that this is the Tianmen Sword Formation laid out by the Tianmen Sword Cultivator, not to mention a few of them, even if it is also the Tianmen Gate, it will not be pleased.

The more the black-robed man thought about it, the more he looked dignified.

The hook-nosed man noticed that something was wrong with the black-robed man, and reached out and patted the black-robed man on the shoulder, "What's wrong with you?"

The black-robed man didn't pay attention, but looked at Xu Baichuan and asked questions.

"Can you control the sword formation?"

Xu Baichuan thought for a while, nodded first, then shook his head, and then replied: "I can't completely control it, I can only control a small half." ”

Hearing this, the hook-nosed man also sensed that something was wrong, and then thought of the black-robed man's somewhat untimely expression, and soon thought of a place with the black-robed man.

The two glanced at each other, and finally the black-robed man opened his mouth to ask.

"How far can you go in it, Void or Enlightenment?"

This tone can be described as quite tactful, Xu Baichuan naturally understood the thoughts of the black-robed man, thought for a moment, and said softly: "About the enlightenment to Fuyun." ”

The black-robed man's eyes were inevitably horrified.

The same goes for hook-nosed men.

As the two with the highest cultivation, they have such expressions, and the other three can still run away, they are all stunned and unbelievable.

Xu Baichuan laughed.

"What if you want to take it all by yourself and kill us when you go in?" asked the young man, who had not spoken all this time.

"If you don't worry about me, you can leave one outside to respond, I can play a good role in the sword formation, and I will return to the present after leaving, so you don't have to worry. ”

The black-robed people looked at each other again, and they felt that it was feasible for each other, so they decided to follow this method.

After the final discussion, the hook-nosed man stayed outside to watch just in case, and then the others all went in, which was considered to be a good look for each other.

Xu Baichuan has no opinion on this.

The black-robed man spoke, "Open the sword array, let's go in now." ”

Xu Baichuan nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled out Qiu Feng and held it in his hand, stroked the sword body with his hand, and recited a difficult sword duel in his mouth at the same time.

Not long after it disappeared, the strong wind gathered from all directions again, and it was more violent than the last time, and under the strong wind, the white light of the sword array came as scheduled.

The sky-high sword qi is terrifying.

The Taoist priest swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looking at the sword formation that had gradually stabilized and was forming into the portal, his body was slightly hairy, and he even subconsciously wanted to escape.

It's just that he has already reached this step, how can he retreat, after Xu Baichuan took the lead in entering, he was quickly coerced by the black-robed man and stepped in.
