Chapter Twenty-Eight: Shock
Under the complementary effect of Jiaowang marrow and ginseng wangxu, Ji Yan recovered the lost essence and blood in the early morning, and at this moment, the blood veins are strong, and the body contains strength, and the potential of the body is fully explored, he is very confident, and at this moment, I am afraid that he can split the mountain stone with his bare hands.
The morning sun was shining, and the distant sound of a bell broke the silence. All the disciples of the inner gate followed the master and walked towards the Taihe Dojo one after another, full of curiosity, I don't know how many famous swords have been born in the sword mound, and they need to hold a meeting to announce it.
Luo Qiushui and Ji Yan walked at the end of the huge team, not slow or in a hurry. Luo Qiushui was still dressed in white cloth, with bare feet, and Ji Yan wore a rare black and blue robe today, with a bronze lion buckle wrapped around his waist, and his whole person was heroic. Ji Yan saw Wu Qi, Fu Ji, and the caring senior sister in the marching procession, and he nodded to them one by one, indicating that he was safe and sound.
The team walked to the dojo, and six sandalwood chairs were placed on the south side of the jade bridge, and the first seat of the six veins was seated. The disciples of Zhufeng also stood in order facing the master, and the great disciples of all veins stood at the head of the line, full of energy. Ji Yan stood alone on the westernmost side, carrying Qingping wrapped in gray cloth, pinned with a bamboo sword given by his master at his waist, and a sleepy little yellow standing on his right shoulder.
Many elders present, there is no shortage of antiques, looking at the young man in black, his eyes show appreciation, and there are only two words to describe it: independent, neither humble nor arrogant. The first people looked at Ji Yan in surprise, and now they were like two people with the little baby when they first entered the mountain gate, and they were also amazed that this nephew had recovered so quickly in only three days, and they couldn't help but glance at Luo Qiushui.
Yan Mingyuan showed concern on his face, and asked softly to Ji Yan below: "Senior nephew Ji, you returned from the sword mound three days ago, half bloodstained, weak and embarrassed, but what happened, and now you are in good health?"
Although the conference has not yet been held, everyone present is extremely heavy, and the disciples in the audience all stand respectfully and dare not make noise, and Yan Shouzuo's care actually attracted everyone to look at Ji Yan. Hundreds of disciples stared at Ji Yan with different eyes. But seeing that Ji Yan was fearless, he handled it calmly, leaned slightly, tapped his forehead, and replied respectfully:
"Thank you for your concern, the disciple is no longer in serious trouble under the care of the master. Then he bowed in the direction of his Luo Qiushui and continued to add.
"That day, the disciple was reckless, looking for the sword beyond the scope of the enchantment, encountered many fierce scenes, and fought with a fairy sword containing the spirit of the sword, and finally escaped, and then found his own sword and hurriedly turned around, met the master on the road, and was able to get out of the sword mound. ”
Ji Yan told everyone what he saw in detail and appropriately, concealing part of the truth, but Lu Yu "Tai'a", "Juque", "Duck Diving" and other divine swords still told it. The seniors present all sighed, lamenting that the juniors were blessed, and they encountered many ancient swords, so some people took the opportunity to ask Ji Yan what sword he finally chose. Ji Yan glanced at the nodding master, and said with confidence:
"The disciple's 'Qingping' is thousands of miles worse than the divine sword, but the sword chooses the master, I hit it off at first sight, and I became fated, as for the divine sword I encountered, I didn't force it. ”
As he spoke, he untied the gray cloth and presented Qingping to him. All of you are experts who have been immersed in the way of the sword for hundreds of years, circulating this sword one by one, watching the scabbard, flicking the sword body, stroking the texture, and several people have also looked at the soul devouring bead at the end of the end, which caused Ji Yan's heart to beat faster, but seeing that they quickly skipped by, his heart returned to peace. Ji Yan tied the sword well, and the seniors in the door looked at Qingping and shook their heads, this son is not blessed, how could he finally choose such a mediocre sword, the whole body is wooden, but there is a world of difference compared to the immortal iron god soldier, but he is Luo Qiushui's disciple, and he doesn't want to hit the young man's heart, so he just laughed it.
Everyone present was gifted and intelligent, and they knew that the seniors were disappointed in that Qingping, and they all had different looks, which meant to ridicule. Yuan Xiaotian, who was in charge of the family, was even more presumptuous, and muttered in a low voice: "I picked up a broken sword and made a mystery, I encountered danger in the sword shrine where my skills were not as good as others, and I also made up some myths to deceive everyone, cut!" He still wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly felt that his eyes were condensed, and when he looked up, it turned out to be the third senior brother of the team leader, and when he saw that he was harsh, he bowed his head and said nothing.
When the hour came, the head of the sect, Xuanqing Zhenren, left his seat, walked to the front, and said to the disciples:
"At today's meeting, there are two things to announce. The first thing is to announce the results of the sword selection of the foundation disciple Sword Shrine, highlighting the thousands of years of foundation of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and when the announcement is over, I will announce the second thing to you, please ask Master Sun, the master of the Sword Casting Hall, to announce the results. ”
Xuan Qing ceremoniously asked Master Sun in the rear to preside over the meeting. This Uncle Sun's eyes were bright, but his robe was dirty, and there was a fine iron qi permeating, and he walked to the center with a book in his hand, coughed, and began to read:
"As a result of the sword selection of the disciples of Zhuji, Tian Xiang, a disciple of Jin Dingfeng, got the 'fish intestine', and Yang Bufan got the 'golden sword'...... Qianzhang Peak's disciple Fuji has to be 'a cadre Mo Xie', and it is not easy to get 'blue blood' for money...... Shen Ping'er, a disciple of Baiyun Peak, got the 'lightsaber', Lu Qingyu got the 'stunning', and Luo Xingxi got the 'Chengying'...... Wu Qi, a disciple of Fu Demon Peak, got the 'Seven Star Dragon Yuan', and Xue Jiutian got the 'Xiao Lian'...... Tianzhu Peak's disciple Ji Yan got 'Qingping'. ”
It took a few hours for the results to be announced, and everyone listened to it with relish below, and some of the older senior brothers couldn't help but sigh that there were so many divine swords coming out in the sword mound this time, and lamented that the future was terrifying.
The first seat of the group was already smiling when they heard these sword names, especially when they heard the ancient famous swords such as "Ganjiang Mo Ye", "Chengying", and "Long Yuan", they were relieved and proud. It's just that although the head of the sect Xuanqing also sighed like everyone that the ancestor blessed and the sect was prosperous, there was still a faint sadness that was naturally covered by it.
After announcing the arrival of Tianzhu Peak, the sword names of more than 100 people were finally over, and this Master Sun smoothed his dry throat and walked off the stage. Xuan Qing looked at the excited disciples, smiled and pressed the scene with both hands, and said slowly:
"My Heavenly Sword Gate is all sword cultivation, there is an extremely sharp fairy sword, it is very important, today I am protected by the ancestor, please come out with many ancestors to use the sword, Wang'er and others to remember the legacy of the martyrs, properly use the fairy sword in your hand, worthy of the master, worthy of the world!"
The sonorous words of the head of the sect, followed by the power of the Dao, echoed in the mountains, the words were vigorous, and the listeners were also passionate, arousing the frivolity and enthusiasm of the youth, and shouted one by one: "I must live up to the expectations of the sect, and I will die with all my might." ”
"Well, I'll announce the second thing. Xuan Qing looked at the hope in the door with relief, comforted everyone, signaled quiet, and then said:
"A few days ago, a disciple inquired about the news that someone in Hengyang City in the north of Kuozhou walked to the Soul Devouring Hall to kill innocents, and there are demons infested near Hengyang, both things are near Hengyang City, my Heavenly Sword Gate protects the peace of Kuozhou, I don't want the Soul Devouring Hall to provoke repeatedly, today all the disciples have obtained the fairy sword, and the exercises have been successful, I hope that Zhufeng will select outstanding disciples, one is to eliminate demons in the world, and the other is to go down the mountain to practice, I don't know what the first seat of Zhufeng means?"
Xuan Qing turned his head to look at the first seat in the row behind him, his eyes showing an inquiring look. Song Wuji of the Demon Peak couldn't hold back when he heard this: "Senior Brother is reasonable, the righteous path of eliminating demons is the duty of cultivators like us, and I approve of the Demon Peak!"
"Jin Dingfeng agrees!" Lu Jingtian stroked his beard lightly and expressed his majestic attitude.
"Bai Yunfeng agrees!" Li Chanyue didn't let her eyebrows go, and said with a straight face.
Xuan Qing glanced at Luo Qiushui, saw that he didn't speak, and was just about to ask, but heard Senior Brother Yan's reply:
"If the news is reliable, it's okay to let the disciples go down the mountain, but I'm afraid that the traitor Shi Ji will plot against my righteous path disciples?"
"I also thought about it, this time I would arrange for my second disciple Murong Bai to take the disciples of Zhufeng down the mountain together, Bai'er is thoughtful, and he is already a cultivator in the middle of the Dan Dao, so it will not be a problem to protect them. Xuan Qing told Yan Mingyuan about the thoughts and arrangements in his heart, indicating that he must go.
"So Qianzhang Peak and Tianzhu Peak also agree!" Yan Mingyuan's words represented the will of the two peaks, making Xuan Qing look at the two of them with a gleam in his eyes.
"Okay, then it's decided, Tianzhu Peak will send Ji Yan, as for the other peaks, you can choose your own after you go back, and gather here early tomorrow morning to set off. ”
Xuan Qing announced that it was over, and was about to turn around and leave with the other dignitaries, but a voice stopped him.
"The master stays, and the disciple has something to say. ”
Xuan Qing followed the source of the sound and found that it was Yuan Xiaotian, the youngest disciple of his disciple, so he asked him what he was reporting for.
"Master, this trip has a lot at stake, not only to eradicate the evil and establish the prestige of my sect, but also to protect ourselves. This Yuan Xiaotian is reasonable, and he tells it eloquently.
"There are many outstanding disciples in the rest of the veins, and the disciples have nothing to say, but they just think that the junior disciple of Tianzhu Peak Ji is getting shallow in the beginning, and the disciple has studied with him, and the foundation of the sword is shallow, this time he will not talk about eliminating demons, if it becomes a drag, I am afraid that I will lose the face of my Tianjian Gate, and I hope that the head of the sect will consider it!"
"This, Senior Brother Luo, you see...... The quota for going down to Tianzhu Peak this time is left to ......" Xuan Qing and Luo Qiushui discussed, but before he finished speaking, Luo Qiushui interrupted him with a cold snort.
"Joke! My Tianzhu Peak disciple definitely can't do anything to be ashamed, Ji Yan!"
Ji Yan heard everything clearly, again, again insulted me Tianzhu Peak in public, bullied me into nothingness, and laughed at my incompetence, he clenched his fists, heard the call of the master, and knelt on the ground. "The disciple is here!"
"You go and have a competition with your senior brother Yuan, if you lose, you will be expelled from the master, I will not accept disciples from now on, if you win, you will not be wrong to go down the mountain tomorrow!"
Ji Yan's mouth should be, walking towards Yuan Xiaotian, the crowd has long been separated, leaving a large open space, only Yuan Xiaotian kneeling in it.
"Okay, Xiaotian, you and your junior brother will learn a thing or two, remember to the point, you can't bully the small!" Xuan Qing looked at Luo Qiushui, as if he had been thinking for a long time, and finally decided.
Yuan Xiaotian got up and stared at Ji Yan, thinking to himself that you insulted me three years ago and embarrassed me, today I am a little successful, I don't believe how much progress you can make in three years, only know the basic sword style mediocrity, I want you to know the real sword.
The two stood on both sides, since someone came forward to preside over and shouted, Yuan Xiaotian put out a sword move, preemptively, and used the attack style in the "Eight Steps Pure Yang Dragon Yin Sword" - the jade dragon raised his head and roared, flicked the sword body, and the sword rushed out like a swimming dragon. Ji Yan stood in place, seeing that the flying sword was coming, he leaned back, and simply dodged it neatly, letting the flying sword rush into the distance. Yuan Xiaotian didn't want Ji Yan to take the initiative to avoid it instead of taking out the sword to resist, and he lost the opportunity to take out the sword, so he was overjoyed, and with a twist of the sword trick in both hands, the flying sword hovered in the air, stabbing towards Ji Yan's heart.
At the critical moment, Ji Yan moved, pushed the sword with his left hand, drew the sword with his right hand, and a little cold light flashed. Yuan Xiaotian looked at Ji Yan, who was still drawing his sword, and sneered in his heart: "Senior Brother Ji, it's already too late. He looked at the flying sword that flew close to Ji Yan, imagining the picture of victory, everything came so suddenly. Suddenly, he felt the murderous aura behind him revealed, and when he turned his head, a dark red crescent moon appeared against his back, disappeared in an instant, flashed from his chest and rushed towards Ji Yan, no, it should be rushing towards Ji Yan's flying sword. Yuan Xiaotian only felt that the wind after the sword light carried him and crashed into the Huabiao stone pillar at the edge of the dojo, and with a sound, Yuan Xiaotian spurted out a mouthful of blood and passed out. And the uncontrolled flying sword collided with the person of the dark red sword light, directly hitting the air. That sword light was also on the opposite peak, right next to the crack left by Uncle Zhu's ancestor, leaving another deep sword mark, and the voice was loud.
It turned out that Ji Yan only condensed the Void Sword Intent behind Yuan Xiaotian, but did not emit, and dissipated in an instant, leaving only the sword wind he carried hit Yuan Xiaotian's body, and there was no harm, and in front of him, he instantly slashed out a Void Sword and slashed at the flying sword that stabbed at him. Everything happened in a moment, Ji Yan didn't even pull out the sword, with a relaxed thumb, the bamboo sword slid into the sheath, and did not move in place.
The audience was stunned, and many people had shaking throats and dry mouths.
The first seat and the elders saw it clearly, Lu Jingtian's eyes were like torches, Song Wuji clapped his hands and praised, Li Chanyue looked at it fixedly, Yan Mingyuan smiled and shook the folding fan lightly, and even Luo Qiushui raised his eyebrows slightly, which was unexpected.
"In an instant, two void sword intents were sent in a row, one was void and the other was condensed, and they were sent and received freely. Hehe, Senior Brother Luo, there are successors to the Yuxu lineage, and it is not bad to teach such an excellent disciple!" Xuan Qing seemed to comment, and said to Luo Qiushui with a smile.
"Who else has any objections?" Xuan Qing asked as he watched Ji Yan walk to the open space opposite Luo Qiushui and asked everyone.
There was silence in the field, and I was still indulging in the excitement of the moment......
