Chapter 18: The First Try

Xiao Se and Ling Shan'er returned to the courtyard, and Ling Shan'er pushed open Xiao Se's door and 'invited' Xiao Se in.

"Senior sister, I'm really fine. ”

"No, you'd better lie on the bed obediently, or let you taste the taste of the jade flute. ”

Xiao Se reluctantly lay on the bed, looking at Ling Shan'er's face with concern, a trace of warmth floated in her heart.

Ling Shan'er poured a cup of tea, handed it to Xiao Se, and continued: "Xiao Se, I will never allow this to happen again, do you know how worried I was about you at that time?" After speaking, a pair of eyes already flowed with crystal.

Xiao Se saw Ling Shan'er crying, she was immediately confused, and comforted her, but it didn't work, she was in a hurry, and she couldn't help but reach out and wipe away her tears.

Ling Shan'er suddenly felt the warmth of the person in front of her on her face, glanced at Xiao Se shyly, and gently held the big hand full of affection.

Xiao Se was startled, hurriedly let go of his hand, and stumbled: "That, this, senior sister......"

"Hmph, you idiot, lie down. Ling Shan'er saw him cowering, and said with a little anger.

Xiao Se looked at the beautiful person in front of him, nodded hurriedly, and said: "It really doesn't matter, senior sister, you know, I usually cultivate the Burning Heaven Xuanhuo, but in terms of physical body alone, it is no longer the Li Yunneng between the cultivation and my uncle." ”

Ling Shan'er's heart fell to the ground, and she said with relief: "That's good, since it's okay, let's take advantage of the current situation to recuperate and prepare for tomorrow's finals." ”

Suddenly, Ling Shan'er smiled, "Xiao Se, do you like me?"

"It's... This ......" Xiao Se was stunned suddenly, his face was already red with shame, but he didn't dare to answer.

The atmosphere between the two was also awkward, only to hear Ling Shan'er whisper: "Xiao Se, you don't have to answer in a hurry, I have enough patience to wait." After saying that, he floated out gently.

Xiao Se looked at the distant figure blankly, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, the picture of getting along with Ling Shan'er in the past two years was vivid, and he was shouting in his heart: "Senior sister, why don't I want to open up with you! But let's wait until I come back from this experience!"

In today's battle, Xiao Se paid more attention to the 'Burning Heaven Xuanhuo', and knew that if he hadn't practiced the Burning Heaven Xuanhuo, Li Yun's palm would kill him on the spot.

Half a year ago, he broke through the second layer of the Burning Sky Xuanhuo, and he didn't know much about these three layers, and his progress was quite slow. Suddenly, a thought flashed through Xiao Se's mind, shouldn't it be time to try the power of the Burning Sky Xuanhuo? Maybe it will be beneficial to cultivation, but if it is used in this Muyun Sect, it will inevitably alarm others, what should I do?

As long as you get out of Muyun Sect, wouldn't it be okay to find a remote place where no one is around! Thinking of this, Xiao Se felt a burst of excitement in his heart, the power of this Burning Heaven and Xuan Huo, Xiao Se had witnessed it with his own eyes, and said that there was no temptation, I am afraid that he himself would not believe it.

Just now that everyone is in the ring, why don't you take advantage of it to find a place to try it now! Thinking of this, Xiao Se got up and quickly walked out of the small courtyard, climbed over the stone wall around the Muyun Sect, and traveled all the way west for more than seven miles, and a waterfall appeared in front of him, and there was no one in front of him.

"This is it!" Xiao Se silently recited the mantra, carrying the Burning Heaven Innocence Qi, a strange blue flame condensed between his hands, and the essence light in his eyes suddenly burst out, "Go!" With a breath, the Xuanhuo in Xiao Se's hand rushed towards a boulder next to the waterfall with unparalleled momentum.

"Hiss!", the Xuanhuo actually penetrated into the boulder, but this scene made Xiao Se feel disappointed, and it was completely different from the flying sand and rocks he expected. At that moment, a gust of wind blew, and the boulder, which was more than seven feet high, disappeared with the wind, leaving only a field of ashes.

Xiao Se opened his mouth wide, and was speechless in surprise, "This Burning Sky Xuanhuo is too powerful! I have just finished repairing the second layer, if I have completed the entire nine layers, even if I have completed the 'Burning Sky', I am afraid that it will be easy!" Thinking of this, Xiao Se's mind suddenly appeared The appearance of the mysterious man 'Phoenix God', I remember that in the dream he said that he would go to the 'Dusk Desert' to find him in the future, so where is the Dusk Desert?

Xiao Se exhaled a long breath, walked to the foot of the waterfall, looked at the water flowing down, and a burst of pride rose in his heart, "Zheng!" The Biying Fairy Sword was unsheathed, Xiao Se held the Biying Fairy Sword and carved the eight characters of 'Sword Light is like water, Xuanhuo burns the sky' on the mountain stone next to the waterfall, and then stood with his hands satisfied and integrated into this landscape.

After staying for a while, Xiao Se gathered his true qi and returned to Muyun Sect from the same way.

As soon as he entered the house and sat down to drink a sip of water, suddenly the door was pushed open, Ling Feng walked in, and Xiao Se saw the master coming, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

Ling Feng waved his hand and said with concern: "Disciple, today you fought with Li Yun and received a slap from him, do you feel unwell after you come back?"

"No! I haven't felt the slightest discomfort since I came back. Xiao Se replied truthfully.

"That's good, you are sharp in the first battle today, and you will try to be more restrained in the future, so as not to arouse the jealousy of others. Ling Feng instructed.

"The disciples follow the Master's teachings. ”

"We Taoists are the least competitive and competitive, but you have to prevent some people from being jealous and hateful, which will be bad for you, such as Li Yun. Therefore, it is better to lose tomorrow's competition!" Ling Feng's eyes were meaningful, and he looked at Xiao Sedao.

Although these words made Xiao Se feel a little more unwilling, but he understood Ling Feng's deep meaning, the progress in two years has far surpassed that of his fellow disciples, if he didn't hide it, he was afraid that he would be stared at by the five elders Lin Jingtang.

"After you came back, there were four more winners, namely Mu Xue, Lu Jun, Hua Shan, and the only female disciple Wang Yun. Makuyuki has been chosen by everyone to go straight to the finals, and then one of the four of you will compete against him in the final showdown. ”

Speaking of this, Ling Feng gently patted Xiao Se's shoulder and continued: "Ming said that the four of you will draw lots to decide your opponent, anyway, you have already obtained the quota for the downhill experience, and it doesn't matter if you win or lose. Moreover, everyone knows that the 'Zhu Guo' will inevitably fall into the hands of Mu Xue, and there is no suspense in the final. All you have to do is protect yourself, and what happened today must not happen again. ”

"Got it!"

"Well, then you should also prepare for tomorrow's competition!" Ling Feng looked at the proud disciple in front of him, turned around and walked out in satisfaction.

After seeing Ling Feng leave, Xiao Se closed the door and went back to the bed and lay down, looked at Fang Liang and said to himself: "There is no suspense in this sentence, I didn't expect Senior Brother Muxue to be so valued by Master, if I use 'Burning Heaven Xuanhuo', I'm afraid I may not lose to him!"

Suddenly, Xiao Se thought of the matter of the Dusk Desert, and quickly got up and pushed the door and walked out towards the Ling Feng courtyard.

"Master!"

"It's Xiao Se, come in!"

Xiao Se gently pushed open the door and walked into the room, where he saw Ling Feng sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking intently at a yellowed scroll.

"I just came back from you not long ago, is there anything urgent?"

"Oh, actually, it's nothing, Master, do you know a place called the Dusk Desert?"

"What?Dusk Desert?" Ling Feng hurriedly put down the book in his hand and looked at Xiao Se with a pair of surprised eyes.

"Well, I've dreamed of this name a few times ago in my dreams, so I've come to ask you. ”

"Oh!" Ling Feng calmed down after hearing this, and said, "I don't know much about the Dusk Desert, I can only say that I know a little bit about it. It is said that the Dusk Desert is a mysterious place in the southwest of the Central Plains, where the sky is full of yellow sand, and only a small area can be seen from the outside, which can be described as boundless. I heard my master say that it was an ancient battlefield, and the yellow sand in the sky was formed by that battle. ”

How strong does it take to form a desert? Is it a phoenix?

Ling Feng looked at Xiao Se, who had a questioning expression, and continued: "A hundred years ago, several major sects of the Righteous Path sent elders to find out, but those people never came out after they entered! ”

Will that day be far away? No one knows the answer.

Xiao Se couldn't bear to bother more, and said, "Retire in vain." And he went out.

"How can this kid dream of the dusk desert in a good way?" Ling Feng couldn't figure it out for a moment, but after a moment, he touched the scroll again.

Xiao Se returned to his room, sat on the bed, and said to himself: "The Dusk Desert that Master said is the same as in the dream, although it is a dangerous place, but it is certain that this phoenix god does exist, and it is in the Dusk Desert. ”

Anyway, I haven't even finished cultivating the second layer of the Burning Sky Xuanhuo now, so let's talk about it when my skills are completed in the future, and I will continue to compete tomorrow, so I should take advantage of this time to recuperate first.

Xiao Se didn't think much about it, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began the 'homework' that was required every night.
