Zhao Yu nodded, took out the fire spirit bead from his arms with his right hand, and secretly used the fire technique.

The fire spirit bead lay quietly in his hand, motionless, as if it had taken root, no matter how he drove it, it still did not move.

The fire monster smiled silently.

A little bead of sweat appeared on Zhao Yu's forehead, double cultivation was far more difficult than he thought, just this first step, it seemed very simple, but it was difficult to reach the sky. He was stubborn by nature, stomped his feet violently, and whispered, "Get up!"

The fire spirit bead emitted a fiery red light, flying from his hand to his chest, one red and one yellow, two spirit beads competing on his chest, like two pearls, very beautiful.

The fire monster praised, "Not bad. ”

yes

Zhao Yu screamed, and the two pearls fell from a high place like lanterns that had gone out, rolling on the ground a few times before stopping.

He felt a muffled thump in his chest, almost vomited blood, gasped for air, and sweat all over his back. This is the bottom of the cold and ice prison, it is extremely cold, and in such an environment, Zhao Yu is still sweating a lot, which shows the degree of danger just now.

Huo Lao Wei said: "I still underestimate the difficulty of this double cultivation method, although you have achieved the first step, but too reluctantly, if it is not for the reason why the fire spiritual power and the earth spiritual power are mutually reinforcing, you are cultivating the same method, plus you have cultivated the Demon Sutra, what you did just now, at least you will spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and at worst your internal organs will be injured, and if you don't do it well, it will damage the meridians and damage your future cultivation!"

Zhao Yu patted his chest a few times, and said worriedly: "It's so serious, how can it be good?"

Huo Lao Wei said: "You don't have to worry too much, everything is difficult at the beginning, you start with the basic exercises from today." You can go to practice on your own during the day or at night, and if you encounter any questions about the exercises, come and ask me the next morning, and I will answer them for you one by one. Although I can tell you a lot about my own experience, it is my personal feeling, not your own, and you still need to work hard. ”

Zhao Yu said: "Okay, I know." ”

Since then, Zhao Yu has finished his errands every morning and secretly practiced behind closed doors. During the day, he practiced the Fa Decision, and in the dead of night, he practiced the Dharma Weapon in a relatively remote place in the back mountain.

There are many trees on the whole back mountain, and there are not many people living there, most of them are outer disciples, and they fall asleep relatively early. What's more, in the place where Zhao Yu was looking, there was no half of a figure during the day, so naturally everything was safe, and no one found out.

Time flies, four years have passed in a flash, and Zhao Yu has changed from a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy to an eighteen or nineteen-year-old youth, much taller and more robust.

For four years, life in the back mountains was the same as before, peaceful.

For four years, the white tiger would come to "visit" the old monster every year, asking the same questions, and the answers he got have never changed.

The competition of the four factions once in twenty years is gradually approaching, and the atmosphere of the entire Chaokun Sect is also active, and the disciples are looking forward to it, and their hands and feet are dancing. The young disciples were naturally very excited because they had never participated in this kind of grand event, while those disciples who were a little older did not look like they were half excited. Among the disciples, the most excited are the outer disciples, they have the lowest status, if in normal times, they don't even have the qualifications to enter the front mountain, only at the moment of this grand event, the sect will make an exception. That kind of event is only once every 20 years, and it's a rare opportunity.

Early morning.

"Lazy worm, it's almost time to get up, the sun is getting to the buttocks!

Bang bang bang

"Who's so annoying!"

"It's me!" said a lazy voice outside the door.

"Oh. Zhao Yu dragged his tired body in his coat and opened the door, and when he saw the fat head standing happily in the sun, he said in surprise: "Why are you here today?

The fat head said impatiently: "Hurry up, they all go first, let me come and call you." ”

Zhao Yu said confusedly: "Where are you going?"

The fat head scolded: "Your head is in a daze, today is a big day, and the four factions are going to compete!"

Zhao Yu snorted, patted his head and said, "I forgot about this, let's leave now, but I haven't done my errand yet." ”

The fat head snorted and said: "Hurry up and come with me, I have already told the old man Gray Chen about the errand, and he has said that he will help you in the past few days, so that you can have a good time." ”

Zhao Yu smiled: "It's still fat-headed, it's so thoughtful." ”

The fat head said embarrassedly: "No, the old man Gray Chen asked me to bring you a word." He said: 'Hidden dragon and crouching tiger, watch out'. ”

"Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, be careful?"

"yes. That's all he said, and told me to bring it, and he left. Xiao Yu, what does that mean?"

Zhao Yu thought to himself: "The meaning of Tianxu must be the competition of the four factions, the talent hides the dragon and the crouching tiger, and there are many masters, let me be careful, don't reveal the secret of stealing the master and learning the arts, it must be so!" He pretended to scratch his head and said: "I don't understand, the old man Gray Chen has always had a strange temper, and it's common sense not to understand, let's go!" He knew that it was inappropriate to deceive his friends, but he couldn't be vague about his life.

The fat head said, "Okay, let's go." He muttered in his mouth: "What can happen to the competition in his own sect, this old man is really weird!"

Zhao Yu smiled and didn't say anything more, and followed the fat head to the front mountain.

The bottom of the Ice Prison.

The old monster smiled and said to the old man Chen: "Tianxu, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"

The old man said: "Old bones, still alive, live longer, wait for more days to die!"

The old fire monster smiled bitterly and changed the subject: "Old friend, the four factions have competed, and another twenty years have passed, time flies!"

The old man of Gray Chen muttered: "Four factions competition, four factions competition! I still remember the scene of my first participation in this grand event, time flies, hundreds of years have passed, I am already in the last years!"

The old monster of fire smiled: "At that time, you must have been high-spirited and upright, just like those righteous people, shouting every day to eliminate demons for the sky, yes or no?"

The old man snorted and did not speak.

The fire old monster said: "Old friend, what do you think of the righteous path and the demon path now?"

The old man said slowly: "The difference between good and evil lies in a thought!"

The old fire monster laughed and said: "What a 'good and evil are between a thought'! Your words are enough to be proud of the righteous people in the world!"

The old man said lightly: "What can I do, I'm just a bad old man now." ”

The old fire monster said: "You don't have to sigh, you and I are all dust in the world, and now we are just waiting for death." What is the use of a person who can't find his own pursuit, even if he can live forever?

The old man said: "When did you become so clear in your thinking, could you really want to retire here? ”

The old man said: "People are changeable, maybe the reason why I have been locked up here for a long time is that my mind has become dull." ”

The old man sneered: "Old ghost, although you are still trapped by the iron chain, I think the power of the golden wood two spirit beads on the iron chain has already been broken by Zhao Yu's kid. Without the restraint of the power of the Golden Wood Spirit Bead, how can I trap you here? I'm afraid that your current Dao practice has recovered seven or eight times out of ten, and if you are given a period of time, the only one in the entire Chaokun Sect who can stop you is Qingxu!"

The fire monster laughed and said, "Old friend, you are really as wise as a torch, and you can't hide anything, but there is one thing you are really wrong!"

The old man said, "What?"

The old fire monster said: "There is one more person who can also do it!"

The old man of Gray Chen and the old man of the fire looked at each other and laughed.

The mountain in front of the Chaokun sect. This is the foundation of the Chaokun sect, where the elite of the sect is gathered, there are usually a large number of people, and now it is even more people coming and going, and the competition between the young disciples of the four major sects of the righteous path will be held here.

As soon as they entered the front mountain, Zhao Yu and the others felt a little dizzy, and the scene in front of them was naturally not comparable to the back mountain. The magnificent buildings, the wide squares, the disciples come and go, and the five peaks are like five giants surrounding this place, guarding this paradise and silently guarding the people here.

"Wow, the square here is so big!" exclaimed Ma Pole in surprise. Since he came to Chaokun Sect, he had never stepped into the sacred place of Qianshan, and if it weren't for the competition of the four factions, he might not have had the opportunity to come here in his life. When he saw the current growth scene, he was naturally very happy and excited.

The black-hearted pretending to be old was about to say a few words about the thorn pole, but he saw that the people passing by threw contemptuous glances at several of them, and some passers-by even discussed in a very low voice: "That's the outer disciple, I really haven't seen the world's dirt buns, the frog at the bottom of the well!"

The black heart's expression became extremely unnatural, and he became a little embarrassed, and he was two or three feet away from the hemp pole and a few of them, to show that he didn't know these dirt bags. However, the clothes of the outer disciples on his body did betray him, and seeing that there were still many inner disciples casting abnormal glances at him, he scolded in his heart: "What's the big deal, isn't it the inner disciples! Lao Tzu is a thousand miles, but he has never met Bole, one day I will overpower you!" He scolded a few words in his heart, and his heart was much more comfortable, and when he looked up to see the fat head and they walked away, he quickly followed.

Zhao Yu and the other five people except for the cold-faced Yan Luo followed coldly, their expressions were not touched by the scene in front of them, and the four of them chattered about what they saw, and they felt fresh when they saw anything.

The fat head looked at the cold-faced Yan Luo and said, "Brother Yan Luo, you seem to be very familiar with this place, have you been here before?"

The cold-faced Yan Luo said lightly: "The last time the four factions competed, I came with others once. ”

The fat head sighed, and then did not ask again, they knew that Yan Luo had come to the Kun Mountain for the longest time, this person did not like to speak, the whole was weird, and he looked like he couldn't see through.
