At the foot of the mountain, in the middle of nowhere, in the bamboo forest near the Washing Sword Pond, there is a small courtyard located in it.

The moonlight passes through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, mottled and sprinkled on the ground, the breeze blows, and the bamboo shadows are swaying, which seems very quiet.

After reading the cheats book during the day, Ning Baifeng found this secluded courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

This place is far away from the place where Master Feng teaches, and he thought it would be quieter, but he didn't expect that many of the disciples who started together chose to live near this small courtyard, which made him cry and laugh a little.

As for their purpose, Ning Baifeng knew very well what it was for.

Living next to the great monks will inevitably help them in their practice.

Even in the evening, people had already come to visit him, such as the woman in yellow named Xi Xuelan, such as Liu Sheng.

At this time, it was the dead of night, and after a day of excitement and fatigue, the new disciples had already fallen asleep, but at this time, Ning Baifeng was waiting for the arrival of the last guest.

The night breeze blows, bringing up bamboo leaves like sharp swords flying, cutting the mottled moon shadows into pieces.

Ning Baifeng looked at Feng Shi who was standing under the bamboo, and was not surprised at all.

That's the last guest of the night.

This person came with the night wind, accompanied by bamboo shadows and sword intent.

Master Feng said, "You are waiting for me. ”

The voice was unwavering, as if it were stating the facts, not asking questions.

Ning Baifeng nodded and asked, "Drink wine or tea?"

Master Feng didn't answer the question, just moved his fingers hanging down his sleeve slightly.

A bamboo leaf blown off by the wind suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then flew out.

The bamboo leaves swept through Ning Baifeng's neck, and the sharp energy cut the earlobe, and a drop of blood fell on his shoulder, and a little blood stain on the white clothes was extremely eye-catching.

Feng Shi asked calmly, "Why don't you hide?"

Ning Baifeng's expression was calm, as if all this had nothing to do with him, and asked rhetorically: "You have a clear conscience, why do you want to hide?"

Master Feng raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Syllable!

A crisp sound sounded, and everything fell silent in an instant, and then between breaths, there was a dense buzz in the bamboo forest, like a swarm of bees flying up.

Countless bamboo leaves are separated from the bamboo branches and suspended in the bamboo forest, ready to go.

Ning Baifeng nodded, "Offended." ”

In the moonlight, a dark shadow flew out of the window of the house, pulling into a silk thread.

The Kaede Master, who was standing under the bamboo, waved his arm slightly.

Thousands of bamboo leaves flew out in an instant, slaughtering them like a rain of arrows.

Ning Baifeng's expression did not change.

In the blink of an eye, the black shadow silk thread hit thousands of bamboo leaves, and the crackling sound of the torrential rain lapping on the eaves was heard.

However, such a dense sound still only sounded here, and did not spread at all.

At the same time, there was a rain of bamboo leaves in the small courtyard.

When no more bamboo leaves fly out of the bamboo forest, the black shadow flies back into the house.

On the ground in the courtyard, a thin layer of broken bamboo leaves is spread.

In just a few dozen breaths, the fight between the two has ended.

It seems very long, but it is actually extremely short.

Zhu Ye did not succeed in killing the enemy, and Master Feng was still very calm, and said: "The speed of the sword is very fast, but there is no trace of swordsmanship, it seems that you are really here to learn swords." ”

Ning Baifeng smiled, a little embarrassed.

For swordsmanship, he really can't, this is also another project of the Ding Sword Pavilion in addition to the sword pool.

There is a saying that martial arts in the world are only fast and unbreakable, but among cultivators, this sentence is not applicable at all times, and in some cases, techniques and methods are indeed stronger than speed.

After several battles, Ning Baifeng has a deep understanding.

Master Feng withdrew his hand into his sleeve and said, "You can learn the sword in the mountain casually, but you are not qualified to enter the Sword Pavilion. ”

Again, it is stating a fact, and does not give people any room for negotiation.

Such a decision is undoubtedly a huge punishment for the kind of person who wants to go to the Sword Pavilion.

Everyone in the world knows Ding Sword Pavilion, but few people know about returning to Yuanshan.

The reason is that the Ding Sword Pavilion competes with the Ten Thousand Swords Stone Forest with its own strength, and its kendo strength can be seen in general.

Whoever returns to Yuanshan with his apprenticeship, all of them are dedicated to going to the Ding Sword Pavilion, if they are deprived of the qualification to go to the Sword Pavilion, it is tantamount to cutting off the greatest hope of cultivation.

Such an approach can be called cruel.

However, Ning Baifeng's goal was not in the Sword Pavilion, so naturally he would not have any objections, but his heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "What is the purpose of the long sword?"

Master Feng looked at him quietly, and said indifferently: "Since you are here to learn swords, let's start as an ordinary disciple, and go to the Sword Hall to find the answer after three months." ”

didn't get the answer he wanted, Ning Baifeng was a little regretful.

Feng Shi raised his hand, took off the white sword robe on his body, threw it to the young man opposite, and said, "Wear it." ”

Ning Baifeng was stunned, stretched out his hand to catch the white clothes floating over, and didn't understand what this meant.

Master Feng explained: "Ordinary disciples of Hui Yuan Mountain, they won't have such a high level of cultivation, so don't cause me some trouble." ”

Ning Baifeng immediately understood the function of this dress, which turned out to be to cover up cultivation.

Although he didn't understand Master Feng's purpose for doing this, as far as the current situation was concerned, it did solve his urgent need.

After all, this is Huiyuan Mountain, if it is really the Sword Courage Realm cultivation in the name of the Inner Gate Miscellaneous Servant, it is definitely an extremely high-profile existence, and when the news spreads, it will be a big trouble.

Master Feng said, "I'll watch you." ”

Ning Baifeng laughed and nodded, "Thank you." ”

This sentence undoubtedly told him that from now on, only Master Feng would pay attention to him.

It is surveillance, but for Ning Baifeng, it is also protection.

Otherwise, if they returned to Yuanshan Ding Sword Pavilion, the great monks would all come to him for a walk, even if Ning Baifeng would not be annoyed to death, he would not have much time to investigate the sword pool. And it's also easy to expose.

Relatively speaking, there is only one Feng Master, and he is much more relaxed.

Feng Shi turned around and walked into the bamboo forest and disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest.

"Remember, you owe me a drink. ”

The night breeze blew from the far sword pond and passed through the bamboo forest, delivering the last words of Master Feng.

Ning Baifeng looked at the bamboo forest, clasped his fists and saluted, "Waiting for you at any time." ”

......

......

The green water reflects the green mountains, and this landscape beauty is almost forever frozen in the picture.

It was as if time had lost its meaning here.

On the hillside and bamboo forest outside the thatched hall, you can see new disciples struggling to practice boxing everywhere, and they practice diligently day and night, not daring to relax and play at all.

Because they already knew that in three months, there would be a big examination for the outer gate, and then another group of disciples would enter the inner gate.

And Hui Yuanshan enters the inner door from the outer door, and the most obvious point is to quench the true qi.

If these senior brothers and sisters are lower in cultivation than those who come after them, they will not look good when they think about it.

The word youthful and vigorous is very appropriate for them at this time.

Even the delicate and delicate Miss Fugui was also walking in the bamboo forest at this time, sweating like rain, and boxing hard.

When someone quenched their true qi for the first time and shouted excitedly, no one paid attention to the time anymore, from early morning to dusk, and even until late at night, the sound of punches and shouts never stopped.

With the passage of time, the style of boxing practice became more and more popular, and the sound of green bamboo being broken sounded in the bamboo forest from time to time.

Feng Shi, who was standing outside the grass hall on the top of the slope, watched this scene, even though he didn't say a word, he was quite satisfied with the qualifications of these people.

The disciples who practiced boxing sometimes looked up and saw Master Feng dressed in white, and they worked harder and harder to practice boxing and practice.

But when they followed Master Feng's gaze and landed on the edge of the lake not far away, they occasionally lost their minds, and a trace of envy flashed in their eyes.

On a huge piece by the lake, a man in white was sitting there, sharpening a pitch-black sword in his hand.

For Ning Baifeng, who is a hundred times more painful than these people, the internal strength and mental methods on the "Bone Classic" do not need to be practiced at all, and even the interesting boxing method above has only been fought once in the small courtyard, and there is no need to practice it again.

When others practiced boxing, he sat by the lake.

It seems to be sharpening a sword, but in fact, his mind has long been immersed in this lake.

However, after sitting by the water for more than a month, he was still not allowed to enter the door.

The pressure in Ning Baifeng's heart was no lighter than that of those disciples who had not yet quenched their first true qi.

Looking at the cranes swimming in the lake, he thought to himself, do you really want to use that method?

......

......

The sun and the moon alternate, and in the blink of an eye, it was more than ten days.

Ning Baifeng finally made up his mind.

When the moonlight was obscured by the high pavilions in the sky, the whole mountains and valleys fell into darkness.

Ning Baifeng pushed open the courtyard door, walked to the lake, and then walked into the lake silently, and after a circle of ripples on the lake, the figure disappeared.

Night exploration and washing of the sword pool.

This is Ning Baifeng's thoughts.

Sitting on the edge of the sword washing pool, Ning Baifeng had exhausted all methods, and even took off the Quarter Moon Pendant, and while he was cleaning the sword body, he stretched the Quarter Moon Pendant into the water, no matter how agitated the sword qi was, but there was still no response.

Fortunately, Ning Baifeng did not find nothing, he sat until late at night every day, but he found that every half a month, the moonlight in the sky would disappear once, and at that time, the entire mountains would fall into darkness, and he could not see his five fingers.

Originally, Ning Baifeng had thought about going into the water to investigate last time, but he knew that the Feng Master in the grass hall had been watching him.

Now there is still half a month to go before the big test, and when the time comes, more people will set their eyes here, and then he will have fewer opportunities.

Therefore, at this time, he can only take risks.

Luckily, everything went smoothly until the water was launched.

After entering the water, Ning Baifeng immediately sank into a state of fetal breathing, and even his swimming movements were very light, without making any sound.

The lake is getting deeper and deeper, but Ning Baifeng is still continuing to dive, and even if the fish in the water are alarmed, they just think that a bigger fish is passing by.

The deeper the water, the darker it became, and when Ning Baifeng dived to a certain depth, he found that there were some black shadows standing in the deeper layers of the water.

Such a scene surprised him a little, and it was also a little terrifying.

After floating above the black shadows for a moment and confirming that these black shadows were not moving, Ning Baifeng swam towards the black shadows, and when he was about to come into contact with those black shadows, it felt like he had passed through a layer of water curtain.

Being under the water and passing through a layer of water curtain is a bit ridiculous no matter how you look at it.

However, the moment Ning Baifeng passed through the water curtain, his neck immediately sank, and even the whole person was pulled down several feet deep and hit a black shadow heavily.

Ning Baifeng immediately reached out and touched his neck, but found that it was the moon pendant that emitted a faint light.

Such a situation once appeared when I was in the Sword Valley.

That time, the String Moon Fall was called by Yao Ripei.

And Sword Valley is the original Sword Pool.

At this moment, such a bright light appeared under the dark water, like a crescent moon in the dark night sky.

Through the bright light, Ning Baifeng could clearly see the black shadows under him, which turned out to be pitch-black stone pillars.

Recalling the scene I saw in the Sword Valley at the beginning, these black stone pillars are very likely to be rare sword raising stones.

Ning Baifeng settled down, although the sword raising stone was valuable, but the purpose of this was not for this thing.

He let out a breath of turbidity, and then followed the direction of the moon pendant and continued to dive deeper.

It wasn't until he was about to touch the bottom of the pond that he saw an amazing scene again.

Under the stone pillars that stand upright, there are dense sword blanks, which are all over the bottom of the entire waterhole.

Looking at these sword blanks, Ning Baifeng suddenly remembered Chang Xuan.

These sword blanks, which grow like weeds at the bottom of the water, are the same as the long blades that did not open in the first place.

Ning Baifeng tugged hard, and the sword blank seemed to have taken root, and there was no movement at all.

After abandoning the sword blank and moving sideways dozens of feet under the water with the moon falling, a stone platform appeared in front of him.

Such a scene made Ning Baifeng instinctively a little frightened.

The scene that once happened in the Sword Valley had too much impact on him.

However, inadvertently, the moon pendant suddenly broke away and rushed to the stone platform, and in the flash of light, a phantom shadow walked out from the moon pendant.

Ning Baifeng was immediately startled, and immediately retreated a few feet, and with a movement of the sword finger in his hand, a sword shot out.

The sword pierced through the phantom without hindrance and rushed into the distance.

In the dark mountains, on the water surface of the Washing Sword Pond, a splash suddenly collapsed.

The voice rang out, but no one knew.

Ning Baifeng's sword was fruitless, and he was about to make another move, but when he saw the phantom appearance, he froze.

This man has appeared in his dreams countless times to keep him alive.

It was this man who led him to the path of cultivation.

The same person sent him into this world.

Since the opening of the sea of qi, I thought that I would never see each other again in this life, but I didn't expect to meet here.
