Chapter 34: The Battle of Lyra I

As night fell, on a rock behind the main peak of Xianzhao Mountain, Tianqin stood quietly, the breeze blowing her pale blue dress, giving people a fluttering feeling.

"You're here. I knew you were coming. Tianqin said lightly.

In the dark night, a burly young man slowly walked out, it was Tan Shaobai. He walked slowly to Tianqin's side and muttered, "Do you also like the night here?" Although the people of Wuzhao Immortal are not very good, the scenery of this Xianzhao Mountain is indeed charming. In particular, the spiraling clouds in the sky seem to indicate something to us. ”

Tianqin turned his head to look at Tan Shaobai and said, "Sometimes, I really don't understand what kind of person you are? Sometimes you are as profound as a monk, and sometimes you are like a despicable villain. Can you tell me?"

Tan Shaobai's body shook slightly, and said, "I don't know who I am." Perhaps, I'm just a person who likes freedom. Uninhibited is the life I yearn for the most. In the land of China, if you want to live an unfettered life, you must have the corresponding strength as a guarantee. Tianqin, we are actually the same people, at least for now, our pursuit is the supreme realm of the Dao. ”

The starlight in Lyra's beautiful eyes flickered, and she nodded slowly, "I understand." Yes, we are the same people. Although I have different pursuits than yours. But I also crave power. Desire for great strength. If there is no strife, or in one or two thousand years, we will be able to become the most powerful cultivators on the land of Shenzhou. At that level, we are the enemies of competition. ”

Tan Shaobai smiled slightly and said, "Enemy? No, I won't be your enemy." Even if you are the enemy of the good and evil in the world, you will be an exception. This is a debt I owe you and will never be able to pay off. ”

Tianqin's expression suddenly became cold, and she said lightly, "No, you don't owe me anything. Everything I do is for myself and Seneya. If tomorrow you still run away without a fight, as you did the first time, I will look down on you, and perhaps, I will kill you. ”

Tan Shaobai was not surprised at all by her coldness, and still said with a smile on his face: "This time is different, whether it is for my own future cultivation or for the sake of Qingyun Sect. Tomorrow, I'm going to do my best. Although your Nine Immortal Qin is very strong, I have at least four powerful defensive magic weapons on me. My Qianjun stick is the guest star of all magic weapons. You're going to have to be careful tomorrow. Although I like the Nine Immortals very much, once the Thousand Jun Stick is activated, sometimes even I can't control it. ”

Lyra took a deep breath and said, "You don't have to tell me this. Do you know? Since the beginning of my cultivation, I have been with the Nine Immortal Qin every day, and as an immortal weapon, in my heart, the Nine Immortal Qin has a soul. She's my best friend, and I communicate with her every day, even all the time. She is me, and I am her. Unless you can kill me first, the Nine Immortal Qin will never be destroyed. Although I don't know what realm you are in now, I am confident that as long as you do not reach the realm of non-falling, I will definitely be able to defeat you by virtue of my unity with the human qin of the Nine Immortal Qin. ”

Tan Shaobai paused for a moment and said, "Are you really so confident?" If my guess is right, you are at most the realm of the early stage of Daolong, although this is already very remarkable, but compared to me, your realm is still a little worse. You should know what it means to be one realm apart. Before I came here, I had just formed a golden pill and broke through the barrier, and if it wasn't for 800 years of retreat, I wouldn't have let you bear so much. Tianqin's delicate body shook slightly, although her estimate of Tan Shaobai was already very high, but she didn't expect him to reach the late stage of rebirth, after all, among disciples of the same age, her own improvement speed could be said to have reached the limit. Slowly shook his head and said, "I've forgotten about that incident, you don't need to mention it again." Actually, that's not necessarily a bad thing for me. In order to survive, I chose to be in harmony with the qin, although from now on the person is in the qin, the person dies and the qin dies, but I will never regret it. ”

Tan Shaobai frowned and said, "You mean that if the Nine Immortal Qin is broken, your life will also end, right?"

Tianqin didn't answer, glanced at Tan Shaobai deeply, and said softly: "It's late at night, go back and rest early." I'll be waiting for you tomorrow on the stage. At this time, she was like a gentle wife, and her words of concern warmed Tan Shaobai's heart. Subconsciously, Tan Shaobai put his arms around Tianqin's willow waist and brought her delicate body close to him, feeling the delicate body full of play, and said firmly: "Tianqin, as long as I am alive for one day, I will not let anyone hurt you."

Believe me. Tomorrow, I'm going to win, because I have a reason to win. I'm going to use that prize artifact to settle a past. Tianqin Qiao's face was flushed, her heart seemed to jump out, it was the first time in her life that she had such close contact with a man, the masculinity exuded by Tan Shaobai's body seemed to have melted away all her Taoism, and for a while, her whole body was soft and snuggled in Tan Shaobai's arms.

Tan Shaobai also felt the change in Tianqin, hurriedly let go of his hand, and secretly scolded himself for damning, he had just decided to stay away from his feelings, but he was so out of shape, and hurriedly said, "Yes, I'm sorry." I didn't mean to. Lyra gave her a blank look, gasped for a few moments, and floated up the way she came. Her voice echoed in midair, "Tomorrow's game, watch out for my five strings." ”

Tan Shaobai froze in place, "Wuxian? What do you mean? Can she already use the five strings on the Nine Immortal Qin? This is impossible, she has not yet reached the realm of rebirth!" Actually, what he didn't know was that since Tianqin chose to be in harmony with the body qin, he could use the mana of the Nine Immortal Qin by virtue of the close connection between himself and the Nine Immortal Qin.

Early in the morning, Tan Shaobai was woken up by Hongzhi from his cultivation. A one-night retreat brought him back to his best. Stretching his body, there was an inexplicable tension in his heart. It's about to take on Lyra, and he's not sure at all right now.

"Big brother, let's go get something to eat. Hongzhi called Tan Shaobai.

Tan Shaobai knocked on his bald head and said, "You eating and drinking monk, you think about eating all day long." If you continue like this, you don't know when or when you will be able to enter the state of Dzogchen. ”

Hongzhi said aggrievedly: "Anyway, the Great Perfection Realm also needs to be realized, I have been to this critical point for a long time and still can't pass it, and I can't starve to death!" Whether it is the Great Perfection realm of cultivating Buddha or the realm of cultivating truth without falling into reincarnation, it is a level for cultivators, and even if it goes well, it will take at least a hundred years to pass. Like the Xingtian who asked Tianliu, he had already reached the late stage of Xiaju, but it took more than 500 years to enter the early stage of immortality. You can imagine how difficult it is.

Tan Shaobai muttered: "It's going to be the final today, I don't know what kind of immortal weapon the final prize is." ”

Hongzhi said: "I heard yesterday that today's scene will be very grand, and your final will be supervised by the eleven sect masters of the seven sects at the same time. That's a great honor!"

Tan Shaobai snorted disdainfully, and said, "I'm lazy if honor is not honorable, and the immortal weapon is more important to me." When the competition is over, you and the Wuyun Sect Master go to the Fanxin Sect, and I will go back to the Qingyun Sect to continue cultivating. If you don't have a realm above the level of not falling, it will be really difficult to gain a foothold in the cultivation realm! You have to hurry up your cultivation, otherwise, when I pass the level of non-falling, you will lose your life before you have passed the Great Perfection. Hehe, you've been cultivating for a thousand years longer than me!"

Hongji scratched his bald head and said, "You are less here." Although you have made rapid progress before, it is due to the effect of the Cold Spirit Stone Aura and the Transformation of Your Body by the Six-Eared Seniors. In the future, if you go up, you can only look at your own realization. Do you think it's so easy to attain without falling? What's more, the Great Perfection realm of our Buddhism is more difficult to break through than your realm of not falling, but once you break through, it is also more powerful than your realm of not falling. If you want to catch up with me, I'm afraid it's not that easy. ”

Tan Shaobai said dissatisfiedly: "Then let's wait and see." As he spoke, the two of them walked out of the room. As soon as he went out, Tan Shaobai froze, and saw Yuhua standing in front of their door, staring at him fiercely. Tan Shaobai couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and secretly said, with his own cultivation, he didn't even find out about Yuhua's arrival, Yuhua must have used some magic weapon that could hide his breath. Smiled reluctantly and said, "Senior Sister Yuhua, are you looking for me?" Thinking of the way Yuhua cried and left yesterday, he felt a pain in his heart for no reason.

Yuhua nodded and said coldly: "Today is the final, if you lose to that Tianqin, I won't be done with you." If you win, you owe me a write-off. With that, he turned and walked away.

Tan Shaobai looked at Yuhua's back a little depressed, and said, "Do I owe her anything? ”

Hongji smiled: "Of course there is, you owe someone else's feelings." To be honest, I really don't understand you, didn't you always think about finding a Taoist companion before? Long and good. Oh, by the way, you haven't eaten her vegetarian meal yet. That's more delicious than any delicacy! If you can marry such a wife, you will be blessed. ”

Tan Shaobai said slightly angrily: "Come less." As I said, in the future, I will only think about improving my cultivation, and I will not involve any feelings. If you say it again, I won't let the little ghost give you monkey wine again when I go back. ”

Hongji was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I won't say it." You, think about how to deal with that Lyra today. Last time, you didn't even move your hand and threw in the towel. I think your relationship with that girl is also very unusual. I really didn't expect that I could attract bees and butterflies like you, and the little monk and I are so handsome, but no one looks at me. ”

Tan Shaobai smiled and said, "You are handsome, but don't forget that you are a bald head." Who will go to the bald head to indicate what. Didn't you say before that you can't break the lust ring? What? Now you have moved your heart. Hearing his words, Hongji seemed to be startled, hurriedly folded his hands, and said, "Sin, sin." The Buddha forgave him, but the little monk was not moved, but he was just a little envious of the eldest brother. Looking at his future, Tan Shaobai couldn't help laughing, because the tension of the upcoming finals disappeared a lot.

The square of the main peak of Xianzhao has become a lot empty, the original eight competition tables have been put together together, saving a lot of space, and there are eleven chairs on the high platform in front of the competition platform, although there is still a period of time before the start of the competition, but the audience is already overcrowded. Except for the disciples of Wuzhao Immortal who were in charge of the defense of Xianzhao Mountain, all the disciples of all generations of the Seven Sects were concentrated around the square. Their discussion is naturally inseparable from this Seven Newcomers Competition. Tianqin was already very popular for winning the bid, but Tan Shaobai was unknown, and even now there are many disciples who don't know what he looks like. They are all speculating about who will be the winner today. The disciples of Wen Tianliu were different from the previous ones, all of them were gathered together under the leadership of Xingtian, and their faces were not very good-looking. Tan Shaobai had already used his mana to lift the ban on those sealed disciples from a distance last night, but under Xiao Shu's interrogation, there was no result. At the beginning of this newcomer competition, Wen Tianliu was very proud, but now, they have lost face, if it weren't for the relationship between Full Moon Stream and Wuzhao Immortal, Xiao Shu would have left with his disciples a long time ago. But despite this, Wen Tianliu still had a lot of contradictions with Qingyun Sect.

"Knock knock ......" Nine melodious bells rang in succession, and the disciples around the competition table suddenly fell silent. Eleven figures floated down on the high platform, and it was none other than the eleven sect masters of the Seven Sects.

The Heavenly Dao Venerable sat in the center, and his left and right sides were the Sect Master of the Golden Sect of Wuzhao Immortal and the Wuyun Buddha of the Brahma Heart Sect, and the rest of the sect masters sat down in turn. More than twenty masters of the Seven Sects at the Dao Venerable level and above sat on the two rows of soft chairs behind them. These people represent the most powerful strength of the Seven Sects of the Righteous Path.

Jietian Daozun smiled slightly, and said to Wuyun beside him: "Buddha, let's start now." ”

Sect Master Wuyun smiled and nodded, "This time, your sect also has disciples who have entered the finals, congratulations to Brother Dao." ”

Jietian Daozun glanced at Xiao Shu, who was expressionless not far away, and said, "Buddha Venerable is polite." Sect Master Jin, you can announce it. ”

Jin Yi smiled and said, "Let's take the Heavenly Sect Master." After all, you are the head of my righteous path. ”

Jietian Daozun no longer shirked, stood up, and said, "The final of the Third Newcomer Contest of the Seven Sects starts now. Two students who participated in the finals are invited to enter. After entering the venue, you can listen to the three bells ring, and you can start immediately. Although he said it lightly, his voice clearly reached the ears of everyone present. As soon as the voice fell, two figures, one green and one pink, appeared on the stage of the final at the same time.

Tianqin deliberately put on a pink dress today, exactly the same as when she first met Tan Shaobai. Seeing Tan Shaobai standing proudly in front of her, she couldn't help blushing slightly, and said with a slight salute: "Qianhui Valley Tianqin leads." ”
