Chapter 72: Yuntai Youjian

Views:

"Book?" Ning Changjiu was slightly confused.

Yan Zhou nodded and said: "The second half of the Heavenly Mandate Sword Scripture, one of the most important parts of the sect master's inheritance, was lost by me back then."

Ning Jiujiu said: "Such an important matter should not be discussed with an outer disciple of mine."

Yan Zhou said calmly: "I can't find it anyway, so who can say it's different?"

Ning thought for a long time and found that it was indeed the case, then asked again: "Why can't I find that volume? Could it be that I can still run away on my own?"

Yan Zhou opened his eyes, looked at the extremely high ceiling of the book pavilion, and said: "The content recorded in the second half of the Tianman Sword Scripture is completely different from the first half. It is a real ancient book given by God. It is inherently spiritual. Once you break free, , no matter how difficult it is to recover it. What Hanchi Yijiazi did was also looking for this book, otherwise he would have already broken through the Ziting."

Ning Jiujiu asked: "Hanchi? The leader of Yujian Tianzong?"

Yan Zhou nodded and said: "Yes, Master Hanchi, my junior brother. Now he is also disheartened and has entered the world to seek other opportunities. I made a divination before traveling, and it is more likely to be bad than good."

Ning Jiujiu sighed: "It's a pity, Master."

Yan Zhou glanced at him and said with a smile: "Hanchi is a great cultivator at the peak of Ziting no matter what. It's hard for you to step into the door of cultivation. How can you still feel pity for others?"

Ning was silent for a long time and said, "Senior is right."

On the Yuntai sword field, Lu Marry stood with her sword drawn, the cold wind swept through her clothes and danced, and the thin winter sunshine made her snow-like skin almost crystal clear.

Dozens of disciples stood together under the cloud platform, and under their feet, there were dozens of lines arranged vertically and horizontally. Those lines were not drawn, but were cut out with a long sword in one go to measure the sword. The pace and direction of time.

Ning Xiaoling raised her head and looked at the beautiful woman with a silver crown and jade hairpin. She unconsciously recalled the sword light she had witnessed before the palace that day, and her thoughts were dazzled.

"Tongxian, what is an immortal? Immortals move people into the mountains and become immortal..."

"Longevity extends life and increases life span. Time is irreversible. If you climb a steep cliff and hang a waterfall, you will be struggling with the world..."

"The purple court in the sky, the purple palace in the human body, the harmony between heaven and man, the harmony between gods and me, this is the Tao..."

The cold fog was drifting on the cliff platform, and Lu Jianjiao's voice was clear and cold, coming through the fog and clouds. The sound was cold, and it sounded like the sound of a long sword.

What Sister Marry said is really good. Although I don’t understand it... But there is nothing better than the divine demeanor.

She was just a little regretful that her senior brother could not practice with her.

After Lu Marion finished speaking, she looked around and asked, "Do you have any more questions?"

"Master." A disciple took half a step forward and made a sword salute.

Lu Marion asked: "Any questions."

The disciple looked around. Many people knew what he was going to say. They also cast affirmative glances at this moment. He took a deep breath and said sincerely: "Master! I sincerely ask the master to practice with peace of mind in the future. Teaching the disciple swordsmanship is not something trivial. Master should be allowed to work hard every day. All disciples feel guilty..."

Lu Marry sighed softly: "You are the future of Tianku's lineage, how can you not be interested in me as a teacher?"

The disciple refused to give up and said: "Master is the future of Tianku Peak. The other peaks have bullied people too much in these years. If the master cannot enter the Purple Court Realm and succeed the Grand Ceremony in the future, how can the other peaks compete with each other? The disciple dares to ask the master to devote himself wholeheartedly. Although we have benefited a lot from our master’s words and deeds in practice, we still have a guilty conscience in the end.”

Lu Marry gave a rare smile and said softly: "You can think so, I am very happy as a teacher."

"Then Master..."

"I will consider this matter. If the time is right, I will practice in seclusion as a teacher. However, there are still many things that I have not thought about or done." Lu Marian said softly: "There is no need to mention this matter again."

She has never thought about letting other people serve as teachers. Although there are no practitioners of the Purple Court Realm in Tianku Peak, there are still a few uncles and elders in the Changzhong Realm and the Upper Realm. It was just that the master transferred the peak master before his death. They had a lot of opinions about leaving the position to themselves. Although Lu Marian was respectful to them, she would not tolerate repeated temptations and provocations.

More than a year ago, a master uncle joined forces with three elders to force him to take the throne. Lu Marian couldn't bear it anymore, and she beat the master uncle with a sword and seriously injured her. The three senior elders were expelled from the peak. Go, since then, the conflicts between her and the previous generation have become almost irreconcilable.

Of course, these are not the real reasons.

Before, she originally wanted Yazhu to teach on her behalf, but... Now she has fallen halfway, and the two broken acupoints have not been repaired, so the retreat is of little significance. Moreover, she has Ning Xiaoling among her disciples.

Thinking of this, she turned her eyes slightly, fell on the girl, and asked: "Xiao Ling, how have you been feeling for the past half month? Can you understand?"

Ning Xiaoling was startled when she was asked a question in public. She subconsciously stood up straighter and said, "Master, Xiaoling can probably understand."

Lu Marian nodded and said, "Well, Xiaoling, you can stay here later. I want to personally test the results of your cultivation in the past half month."

Ning Xiaoling felt many pairs of eyes staring at her, lowered her head and said nervously: "Yes, Master."

Lu Marian said: "Well, you must remember to practice diligently. In half a month, you and your senior brothers and sisters will participate in the sword field tour."

Sword swimming in the sword field is a trial held every seven days. Lu Jianjian takes the lead in drawing the sword and swims in the air. The other disciples follow with their swords, just like those who are human beings practicing long-distance running. What you practice in sword swimming is to take the postgraduate entrance examination for aura. The degree of control and familiarity with the sword.

As soon as these words came out, all the disciples on the sword field had some strange emotions in their hearts.

They all started practicing swordplay with everyone after half a year. However, this girl named Ning Xiaoling, who had not entered the Xuan Dynasty before she started, was able to practice swordplay with everyone in just one month. How is it possible

However, this was what Master said, and no one dared to refute it, but they were just doubtful.

Ning Xiaoling also felt a little flattered and said quickly: "I understand, Master."

Lu Marian looked at her and said, "I hope that when the four swords meet, you will have the hope to go with Nan Cheng."

"Nancheng?" Ning Xiaoling repeated the name in a low voice.

The eldest brother of Tianku Peak's generation, Nan Cheng, is rumored to have reached the immortal realm at the age of nineteen. Even if his talent is compared with Lu Jianjian, he may only be a hair's breadth. He is a genius in Tianku Peak and the only one with such talent. I hope I can defeat the great disciple of Shouxiao Peak.

As for Senior Brother Nan Cheng, he had gone into seclusion at Neifeng half a year ago and has not yet come out. However, he has long been a legend in Tianku Peak. Even if he never comes out, his legend is still circulated in the sect.

Now Master actually compares this little girl who has just started with Senior Brother Nan Cheng

Some people were surprised and shocked, while more people were doubtful and even felt that Master had made a mistake this time.

Although innate spirits are scarce, they are by no means rare among the Tian Sect. This little girl is already fourteen years old and has not yet entered the Xuan Dynasty. She has not spent several years laying a solid foundation at the outer peak at the foot of the mountain. How can she build a tall building from the ground

The girl named Lerou was originally quite curious about Ning Xiaoling, but now that she heard what Lu Marion said, her original curiosity turned into hostility.

Before Ning Xiaoling came, Lerou was a celebrity in the sect and the leader among the female disciples of this generation. She was often called "Senior Sister". Now seeing this newcomer with unknown origins who seems to be trying to steal her limelight, there is something wrong with her after all. taste.

Hum, I want to see if you can fly that sword into the sky in a month...

Lu Yuai looked at the other disciples and said: "Today I will speed up the sword movement. No matter whether you can keep up or not, you must pay attention to controlling the energy smoothly and don't be greedy for speed. Do you understand?"

Everyone responded together.

Lu Marian turned her back, took a few steps forward, and shouted: "Draw out the sword!"

That sound was like thunder on the ground, and the fog that filled the Yuntai sword field dissipated in an instant. In an instant, it was clear, and the long sword in Lu Marian's hand flew out like white light, breaking through the cold winter fog and shooting straight into the sky.

On the sword field, all the disciples looked solemn. They unsheathed their swords and threw them upwards. At the same time, they held out two fingers of both hands. One hand was bent at the side of the body, and the other hand was pressed together above the elbow. The disciples closed their eyes. Using spiritual energy as a thread and using mental thoughts to control the sword, those swords soared into the sky like streaks of white light. This scene was like wild geese passing by in autumn, with the head goose at the head and other geese following closely behind.

Ning Xiaoling raised her head and looked at this scene. Her hand holding the sword became tighter. She took a deep breath and pressed her chest, but she still could not suppress the faint sound of the sword in her heart.

She looked around. All her brothers and sisters closed their eyes and concentrated on controlling their swords. Of course, no one was looking at her.

She listened to the cicada-like sound of swords in her heart, and there seemed to be waves surging in the sea of qi, causing her mind to sway with excitement.

Ning Xiaoling silently made up her mind.

She gently pulled out the sword, held her breath and threw it into the sky, wrapping the sword with spiritual power and flying upward.

She followed the example of others, made a sword gesture and stood there, closed her eyes, opened her sea of consciousness and felt the trajectory of Lu Marry's sword intention, and followed closely with her spiritual power to control the sword.

Lu Marian noticed the sudden surge of sword energy and guessed something. She was slightly surprised, but she didn't make too many moves.

Led by the Immortal Sword Minglan, those long swords circled the mountain peaks under the entire sword field, penetrated the clouds and mist, flew away, and roared back.

Half an hour later, Lu Marry opened her eyes.

With a clang, the fairy sword Minglan hovered above the sword field.

And the trajectory dragged by the sword intention behind it still left a long arc of white rainbow in the air.

During the entire process of sword swimming, more and more swords were stretched out by Ming Lan and left behind. Only four swords were left to follow him to the end.

The disciples opened their eyes one after another. Most of them were sweating profusely and looked tired. A few disciples with higher realms looked calm and confident, while those with lower realms would take a long time at night to open their eyes.

When Le Rou hovered her sword over the sword field and opened it, she quietly looked around. The only ones in the field who had opened their eyes were five senior brothers.

Her talent and qualifications are among the best in this lineage, but in terms of spiritual strength alone, they are only average. Today she seemed to be slightly stimulated by her master's words. This time, You Jian's ranking is lower than usual. Even higher by two places.

When all the swords were returned to their positions, Lu Jianjiao flicked her fingers, causing the long swords that could not keep up to return to their masters' sheaths with precision, leaving only four swords.

"Wei Ran, your spiritual energy has improved again, and you are already able to do it with ease. Within three years, you will surely be able to reach the upper realm of immortality."

Xu Weiran is exactly eighteen years old this year. Although he is not as beautiful as his senior brother Nan Cheng, he is definitely the best among this generation of disciples. Now that he heard the master said that the three-year period would last for three years, he was overjoyed. , said quickly: "Thank you, Master."

Lu Yueyou nodded slightly, turned her jade finger slightly, and the long sword turned into light and returned to its sheath.

"Yun Ze, although your sword has kept up with the speed, it is not strong enough. If you are facing the enemy, you may be shot down directly. However, this is also a strict requirement for a master. With this speed, you are worthy of pride." Lu Marry Marry and snap your fingers, and the sword is sheathed again.

Yun Ze took the sword and thanked him.

Ning Xiaoling glanced at him quietly and snorted in her heart. She dared to call her senior brother a pig. She thought she was so powerful, but now it seems that she is not so good. See if I don't find a chance to deal with you in the future.

Lu Marry continued: "Hongyuan, you should be the most diligent in cultivating among the disciples. If you can maintain this determination, you should be able to get a place in the sword trial in the spring and represent the Tianku lineage in the Four Summit Swordsmanship. "

The man named Hongyuan was tall and handsome. When he heard this, his eyes were fiery, and he felt that all these days of hard work had not been in vain.

The sword is sheathed.

"This last sword..." Lu Marian moved her fingers slightly and moved the sword in front of her body. The light of the sword made her beautiful eyes bright, and her skin, which had always been against frost and snow, was now as cold as ice jade.

Although it was a bit unbelievable, Lu Marry still looked at Ning Xiaoling.

Seeing that Master was speechless, everyone reacted belatedly and followed her gaze.

Suddenly there were a few exclamations on the sword field.

Several sharp-eyed disciples have noticed that the scabbard on Ning Xiaoling's waist is empty.

And more people are still a little confused, not knowing what they are sitting on.

"What's wrong?" Lerou asked the person next to her while standing on tiptoes and looking in that direction.

Low voices of conversation were heard.

Ning Xiaoling's thin lips were slightly opened, and after she exhaled gently, her chin was raised slightly. She took a step forward, made a sharp sword salute, and said:

"Master, this is my sword."
