In the next few days, Ning Baifeng and Yuan Zhen read early in the morning and studied in the evening every day, and when they came back, they were exhausted. During this period, Ning Baifeng also went to the next door to find the old Taoist, but the two didn't even enter the door, just a word came from the door.

"Retreat and cultivate, don't come here and shout if you have nothing to do. ”

Ning Baifeng thought for a moment, but he couldn't say more.

Yuan Zhen was heartless, and muttered, "The master is really different, and he can say a fairy aura when he sleeps in the room." ”

Looking at Yuan Zhen, Ning Baifeng felt a little strange, these few days of Yuan Zhen's diligence is surprising, several days of schoolwork, with Yuan Zhen's naughty and lazy temperament, he didn't cheat and play tricks, he listened to classes honestly every day, and he didn't even get up in bed to practice in the morning, which was really incredible.

Asked why Yuan Zhen was this, Yuan Zhen opened his mouth and finally held back a sentence.

"I don't know. ”

Since that day he had a casual chat with the old mountain master, Ning Baifeng began to add the Confucian way of learning swords on the basis of three practices, using the long sword in his hand as a brush and writing in the air.

It's just that at the beginning, I didn't know whether I couldn't grasp the strength well, or because I wasn't used to using the sword as a pen, I always wrote off, as if the long sword in my hand weighed more than a thousand catties. Every time the long sword is unsheathed, only one word can be written, and it has to be withdrawn from the sheath, calming the sea of qi, and replacing the turbidity in the chest. I wanted to write the second word, but I could hardly do it, and after barely writing a few strokes, the sea of qi seemed to explode, and my whole body felt like I had been pricked by a needle.

In the past, it would take half an hour to be exhausted after practicing in triplicate, but after adding writing, I barely persevered until I wrote five words, and I was already sweating profusely, as if I had been fished out of the water.

At the end of daily schoolwork, when Ning Baifeng practiced his sword, the old mountain master also came to visit from time to time, pulling Ning Baifeng to chat.

Ning Baifeng also asked the old mountain master why it was so difficult to write after using a sword as a pen, and after writing more, if his body was pricked by needles, whether it was a mistake in his own way of practice.

The old mountain lord smiled and said a few words before saying more.

Words have their weight.

As for the body being pricked by needles, the old mountain lord looked at Ning Baifeng, and only after being silent for a while did he say some opinions.

"If the human body is compared to the entire Lizhou, then the meridians in the body are the rivers and rivers, and the sea of qi is the largest lake in Lizhou. Practice, pay attention to step by step, absorbing aura is like peeling off the cocoon, just like spring, and the wind and drizzle moisten the continent. If the rain is too heavy, it will become a flood, and the tide will be fierce, and it will definitely flow along the river. At that time, the human body will be like broken porcelain, with holes everywhere, and the aura of heaven and earth will surge, squeezing the human body. And the stinging sensation during the practice is a precursor to the momentum of backflow. ”

When Ning Baifeng heard this, he was shocked, if he did it forcibly at that time, the consequences would be unpredictable.

With the passage of time, Ning Baifeng began to practice the sword proficiently, and he no longer felt that he couldn't hold the sword.

And on this day, Ning Baifeng and Yuan Zhen came back from listening to the evening class again.

Pushing open the door, I found that the old Taoist priest, who had not been seen for a few days, was sitting in the two-person room, smoking a cigarette silently.

When the old Taoist priest saw the two of them coming in, he put down his cigarette stick and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, but after changing my clothes, I really have a little bit of the meaning of the children of the fairy family." ”

Yuan Zhen was too lazy to say anything when he was tired, rolled his eyes, walked straight to the table, poured a bowl of water, poured it down, and after burping, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, walked to the side of the bed and lay down straight, and let out a pleasant moan.

Ning Baifeng sat opposite the old Taoist, and after drinking saliva to moisten his throat, he asked, "When do the seniors plan to leave." ”

The old Taoist priest looked at Ning Baifeng carefully, and then said, "Isn't it good that you can cultivate your sword here with peace of mind." ”

Ning Baifeng frowned and said, "Then you can only stay on the mountain for the rest of your life and cultivate your sword with peace of mind." ”

After speaking, Ning Baifeng carefully looked at the old Taoist priest in front of him. After a few days, although the old Taoist's appearance has not changed, the aura on his body is very different. If it is said that the breath of the old Taoist priest in the past is like a stream, fresh and clear. Then at this moment, the breath on the old Taoist priest's body is like a deep ancient well, revealing a sense of lifelessness all over his body, but it is like a fireball, which will explode at any time, hurting others and himself.

The old Taoist priest put away the cigarette stick that had disappeared from the crack and became black and shiny again, and turned his head to look at Yuan Zhen who was snoring on the bed, "You think about it, after you go down the mountain, life and death are unpredictable." ”

Ning Baifeng raised his eyebrows, "If I don't say I can't go down the mountain, my seniors don't plan to persuade me?" Although I don't understand what these things have to do with me, I can at least guess that I have been taken advantage of, and I am the kind who will lose my life at any time." ”

The old Taoist priest was not surprised at all, as if he knew that the young man in front of him was mentally mature, although he was not rich in experience, but his eyes were not simple, he could see both people and hearts. "In that case, then why do you still follow the old way down the mountain. ”

Ning Baifeng's voice was firm, and he replied loudly: "Because I cultivate swords!"

The swordsman, unstoppable.

The old Taoist priest seemed to be shocked by his words, and he was silent for a while, and then asked, "You won't shoot to death?"

Of course, Ning Baifeng is afraid of death, but there are some things, even if he dies, what should be done, he still has to do it. If I had been afraid of death, I would not have set foot in the valley. If you are afraid of death, you will not take Yuanzhen out of Binhai County.

If you really stay in the academy, you can only stay in the academy for the rest of your life.

Ning Baifeng said categorically: "Even if it's death!"

When the old Taoist priest heard this, his face trembled slightly, and he said sarcastically: "The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and it sounds good to be bold, but on the contrary, it is called a tendon." Since you can guess that you are being used, you must know a little more, so let's talk about it together. ”

Ning Baifeng was sitting precariously, as if the gentleman in the classroom was taking a teaching test, "From the time we walked out of the three-hundred-mile ban and stepped into the Donglin Wooden Building, I felt that something was not right, we went at the right time, it happened to be Chef Lin who was dealing with family affairs, and according to the time when the children of the Lin family escaped from the three-hundred-mile ban, it would not be so accurate, of course, this can be regarded as a coincidence." However, then, Chef Lin insisted that we had obtained a treasure, as if we had seen it with our own eyes, if this was the case, it means that Chef Lin had also entered the secret place, but he did not show up. Even I suspect that the old demon of Sangmu was also arranged by someone, otherwise there is no reason why you would have discovered it after the spiritual flow exploded. Before leaving the Lin family, Chef Lin insisted that I accept the bag, and this feeling was even more obvious. ”

Ning Baifeng said this, staring at the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest didn't react, and said indifferently: "That's all?"

The corners of Ning Baifeng's mouth rose, "Do you want to continue." ”

The old Taoist priest nodded slightly.

Go on.

Ning Baifeng said: "I was used, and you were also involved. That night in the Golden Gui Garden, when you saw those three rune papers, what you said to me. And when we left from the Golden Gui Garden, the old steward sent the carriage, but you rejected it, and took us through the market, obviously attracting someone's attention. Counting the retreats of the previous few days, these are strung together and it is enough. ”

The old Taoist priest nodded and sighed: "What you guessed, in fact, is roughly correct, but there is one thing you may not understand, the old Taoist is also a person who is calculated, starting from that jade medal, it is the ancestral cultural context of the Xu family Qi Luck Jade Medal, whoever takes it into the academy will face the malice of Emperor Daning, which is also what I understood a few days ago." ”

"In the secret place, we stepped into another chess game that was close to it, the movement in the secret place was too big, at that time, it was expected that several forces were paying close attention, but we were sideways, as for why they didn't do it in the secret place, my estimate is that there is a shortage of manpower. There is an unwritten rule in the secret land of Xiangyun, only the following immortals can enter, this is the reason why the immortal cultivators we see in the secret land are no more than the three realms, but as long as the earth immortals dare to go, no one can stop them. ”

"After coming out, Chef Lin said that wealth is moving, but in fact, he is already telling us that they are ready to do it, and there is the eldest grandson royal family and the Sun family in it. And it just so happens that I still have the jade medal in my hand, which makes them even more so that they won't let me go, or rather, us. As for the talisman that you said Chef Lin asked you to accept, this is indeed a good intention, and it can be said to be the ancestral treasure of the Lin family. Once the non-discriminatory talisman is cast, the two parties who fight will be deprived of their cultivation, and they will be no different from ordinary people, even if they are earth immortals, they can only fight with ordinary people in the flesh. In your condition, it's just right. ”

"There is actually a reason why the Lin family dares to do this, I once asked Chef Lin to help check your body to see if there is any help. But during the inspection, Chef Lin sensed an extremely strong sword aura, which was amazingly strong. Later, it turned out that he was not wrong, so when Lao Dao insisted on going to Xiangyun Academy, his Lin family pushed the boat down the river and gave you the talisman. It's really a bet on you, betting that you'll survive. ”

Ning Baifeng looked directly into the eyes of the old Taoist priest, and did not cringe because the other party was a primordial infant earth immortal. Since the sea of qi has been opened, the broken road can be walked again, and there is a sword in the heart, then there is no fear.

Ning Baifeng opened his mouth and asked, "What about you, senior." ”

The old Taoist priest was silent for a moment and said, "Let's talk about other things if we survive." ”

After speaking, the old Taoist priest shook his sleeves, and the whole person burst out of a cloud of smoke, which dissipated.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Ning Baifeng was stunned for a moment, then turned around and opened the door.

I saw Robben, a professor at the academy, standing outside the door, carrying two packages in his hands again, "The mountain lord said that you will leave the academy tomorrow, and specially instructed that these two bags of clothes be sent over for a change of clothes. ”

Ning Baifeng looked at Robben, who had an old-fashioned face, a little stunned, and his eyes jumped.

Luo Ben put the package in Ning Baifeng's arms and said with a smile: "When you leave the academy, don't forget to read more." ”

With that, he turned and left.

It wasn't until Robben's figure disappeared for a long time that Ning Baifeng entered the house and closed the door and put the package on the table. But it was a little unstable, and a package fell to the ground, and a bundle of quaint bamboo books rolled out of it.

Ning Baifeng was stunned, and hurriedly picked up the things and put them away.

Under the light, I picked up the bamboo slips, and saw the words "Nongsang" written on them.

Ning Baifeng turned his head to look at the sleeping Yuan Zhen with some understanding, put away the bamboo slips, and opened another package of his own, only to see a jade pendant with a warm luster on the white clothes, and under the oil lamp, a line of small characters was clearly visible.

There is a road in the book mountain.
