Chapter 20: The Ghost Practices the Sword
"Fang Yuan has started to learn swords!"
Among the miscellaneous servants of the Jade Bee Cliff, this saying began to spread.
I don't know how many people, when they saw Fang Yuan usually sweeping, they would suddenly hold a broom in the shape of a sword, and I don't know how many people, they saw Fang Yuan hiding in the bamboo forest at night and practicing hard, and there were even some people, legend has it that they saw Ling Hongbo, the chief steward of the elixir superintendent, Ling Fairy came over from time to time and pointed out Fang Yuan's swordsmanship, which was said to be very strict, and often drenched Fang Yuan's scolding dog blood!
In this way, the miscellaneous servants were even more jealous of Fang Yuan, and they were polite when they met.
As soon as they saw Fang Yuan practicing his sword with red eyes and a murderous look on his face, they all felt a chill in their backs, and no one knew if this madman would suddenly rise up, treat himself as a target like this, and deliberately avoid him when he worked!
And Song Kui, who was once chased by Fang Yuan with a kitchen knife and lost a lot of face, never had the intention of revenge!
In the first few days, in order to save face, he also secretly said cruel words to people, saying that he must make Fang Yuan look good, but one evening, he took two dog legs and quietly touched the bamboo forest where Fang Yuan practiced swords, but suddenly saw Fang Yuan who was practicing swords, those two eyes were blood-red and blood-red, and his face was murderous, he didn't dare to make a move, and quietly retreated!
Since then, the matter has not been mentioned!
"Alas, I didn't expect Senior Brother Fang to practice the sword so terrifyingly, it's not a way to go on like this......"
Even Steward Sun sighed in his heart, what he was even more uncertain about was the relationship between Fang Yuan and Ling Hongbo, and he pondered while drinking a little wine: "This little pepper has never been so good to others, could it be that Senior Brother Fang slept with her?"
After such a serious thought, he found Fang Yuan: "Senior Brother Fang, don't practice swords in the Miscellaneous Hall in the future, it's not good to have a lot of people after all, there is a deserted palace in the back mountain, which has been abandoned by the Immortal Gate for hundreds of years, you will be responsible for taking care of it in the future, I won't arrange anything else for you first, just clean up these places, and you can arrange the time at will!"
Fang Yuan followed Steward Sun for a while, and saw that the barren hall he said was in the back mountain of the Jade Bee Cliff, usually inaccessible, barren grass, and indeed a good place to practice swords, so he knew that Steward Sun actually intended to help himself, and said with a smile: "Thank you Senior Brother Sun, this place is spacious, the terrain is complex, it is a good place to practice swords, and there are few people, so I don't have to worry about being bumped into!"
Steward Sun smiled: "Yes, yes, the most important thing is that there are few people, so you don't have to worry about being bumped into!"
As he spoke, he patted Fang Yuan's shoulder and gave a thumbs up: "Brother, it's amazing, even Little Pepper can handle it......"
"Senior Sister Ling is still very good, very enthusiastic, but her skills are a little worse......"
Fang Yuan thought that Steward Sun was saying that he had won the matter of Little Pepper in chess, so he also nodded in agreement.
"Sizzle......"
Steward Sun gasped and arched his hand at Fang Yuan, with a look of adoration.
"Brother, you don't have to worry about anything in the future, just concentrate on practicing sword in this sword, and just serve that little pepper well......"
said with a look of concern: "Another day, I will get spirit beast meat to help you make up for it, you see that it has only been a few days, and everyone has lost weight!"
Fang Yuan was grateful to Steward Sun, he didn't know Steward Sun's dirty thoughts in his heart, but he understood the reason why Steward Sun let him come here to clean this deserted hall, to put it bluntly, he just gave himself an environment to concentrate on practicing swords, after all, he was the Miscellaneous Hall himself, and he usually practiced swords too diligently, if he was seen by the deacon of the Xianmen, he would definitely blame himself for not doing his job!
But in this back mountain, there is no need to worry.
It is said that this place used to be the place where the disciples of the Qingyang Sect were imprisoned, and they were born with a sense of depression, but now they have been abandoned for hundreds of years, and the barren grass grows taller than people, even in the daytime, there is rarely sunlight, and at night, it is even more cloudy and windy, like a ghost domain, and the miscellaneous servants in the fairy gate did not dare to come here, for fear of bumping into something......
However, Fang Yuan was fearless, he was lacking such a secluded place to practice swords.
What's more, Steward Sun said that he was nominally cleaning this place, but in fact he was giving him a quiet place to practice his sword, for him, this was already a great favor, where could he be annoying and ask for more?
So, he stayed here with peace of mind, went back to eat something at night, and practiced his sword here for a whole day.
Sometimes, when I am obsessed with practice, even at night, I will stay here until I am exhausted.
Now among the miscellaneous servants of the Jade Bee Cliff, it is rumored that he has obtained the clever sword path passed on by Xiao Chili, and he is in awe and awe of him, but only Fang Yuan knows that he has only an empty shell at all, he only feels that the moves on this sword book are simple, but the more he practices, the more he feels that he is shallow, and now he can do every sword, it is not different from what is written on the sword book, and it seems to be open-minded, but he knows in his heart that such a sword move cannot be used against others, and it will be exposed as soon as he fights......
Xiao Pepper said that this is his own heat is not enough, the reason why he has not been integrated, which makes him crazy, the more he can't practice, the more he has to practice, and he gradually sank down, sometimes he can't read the book, just thinking about practicing the sword!
"The Breeze Blows the Willow ......"
"Der Spiegel Hangs ......"
One day more than ten days later, Fang Yuan was practicing his sword moves in this remote and gloomy place, not noticing that he had sunk westward, just repeating over and over again those sword moves that were almost deeply imprinted in the depths of his soul, tirelessly!
This mountain desolate hall is extremely desolate and terrifying during the day, and at night, the night wind is even more gloomy.
The wind is blowing, the trees are swaying and the grass is swinging, and in the cracks of the mountains and rocks, there is a faint sound of ghosts crying, and no matter how bold people are, they will be scared half to death.
But Fang Yuan didn't care, he was born to not believe in these ghosts and gods, and he was extremely bold.
"Alas......"
After practicing his simple sword moves countless times, he finally got exhausted and found a bluestone to sit down.
"It's still not good, these sword moves, no matter how you look at them, they are all showy, they look good, how can they be enemies with people?"
"But when Xiao Pepper first showed it, the sword move made it the same as himself, but it was a little more agile......"
"How did she do it?"
"Where am I?"
Bowing his head and thinking hard, Fang Yuan was puzzled, only feeling a slight annoyance in his heart.
"Hoo ......"
As he was thinking, a sudden gust of wind blew violently, rolling up a field of wild grass and blowing Fang Yuan's hair scattered.
"What's the mess?"
Fang Yuan's train of thought was interrupted, and he suddenly became angry, remembering the ghosts and gods that others had spread, so he scolded in the direction where the wind was blowing: "There are really ghosts and gods, go away, don't bother me!"
After scolding, most of his anger disappeared, and he also felt funny, shook his head, and prepared to get up and continue practicing his sword.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt a slight shock in his heart, looked up and looked forward, and saw a shadow in front of the gloomy deserted hall in front of him, holding a long sword in his hand, and he was actually practicing the sword, now it was a moonless night, everything was black, but Fang Yuan could clearly see the shadow, he was suddenly a little curious in his heart, and tiptoed forward!
As I got closer, I gradually saw clearly, and there was indeed a shadow practicing the sword.
It looks like a man, but he can't see his face clearly, in fact, his whole person is vague, as if translucent, at this time he is wielding a sword, his body is elegant, but there is no sound of the blade breaking through the air, it seems to be real and illusory......
"Is there a ghost?"
Fang Yuan was very surprised in his heart, and his curiosity rose: "Mr. Zhu said, unless it is a ghost cultivator who specializes in cultivating divine souls, there are no ghosts in the world, there are some people who have died unjustly and are obsessed with it, and they can't stay in the world, it's just a grievance, it's not a big deal, I've always wanted to see what the ghost looks like, I actually have such luck today, I have to take a good look......"
Thinking like this, he was about to quietly touch it and scare the ghost, but as soon as he moved, he was suddenly slightly stunned, and found that the ghost made the sword exactly the same as his own practice, and it was also the sword move in the Thunderbolt Nine Heavens Sword, and it was used in turn!
It's just that although the sword moves are the same, they are used in his hands, but there is an indescribable mystery.
Unlike Little Pepper, the sword move performed by this ghost was not powerful at all, but in Fang Yuan's eyes, there was an indescribable wonder, as if there was an indescribable implication, even more clever than Little Pepper!
Fang Yuan looked at it for a while, and then he only felt dizzy, and his heart longed for it.
couldn't help but stand up, walked in that direction, and arched his hand: "The seniors are really clever in kendo, and the juniors are ......."
Before the words fell, suddenly there was a flower in front of me, and I saw that the front of the hall was empty, how could there be any ghosts practicing swords?
Walking quickly to the front of the deserted hall, he looked around, and there was no trace of anyone practicing swords here, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
Could it be that you are really dazzled?
But soon, he shook his head, what he had just seen was real, not an illusion.
