When Shen Lian felt this, it became clear that Yanxu just wanted to plant a seed of failure in his heart. There was no natural hatred between the two, but now the hatred can no longer be resolved. Perhaps in Yanxu's heart, the only thing to blame was that Shen Lian was too strong, so strong that two people from the same sect could not survive in the same universe.
But if Shen Lian could be affected by these things, he wouldn't be Shen Lian anymore. He is deeply aware of his own shortcomings and can face them calmly. No one will ever be able to judge Shen Lian's choice until the moment of victory or defeat.
Fang Yanying understood that she had been used and plotted, and felt very guilty, but the gentle look in her uncle's eyes, like the gentle breeze on weak water, gradually made the ripples in her heart less intense.
Shen Lian said: "Give me the sword."
Fang Yanying respectfully handed over Shen Lian's Five Elements Divine Sword. Even though she had mastered the invisible sword energy, when she came to Shen Lian, she found that she still didn't understand the sword because there was nothing in her body at this time, not to mention the sword. Qi, even a trace of sword intention is gone.
The moment Shen Lian took the sword from her hand, he also passed on a great power, which caused her to feel now.
She suddenly understood. She said she had learned the invisible sword energy, but in fact she still only knew the invisible sword energy, but the sword energy was more hidden and subtle, and the essence had not changed.
Shen Lian's power was born out of Taoism's "nothing", and obtained the Buddhist's "emptiness". Only by taking out the essence of Taoism and Buddhism can he have great freedom. This is also the reason why Ziwei Sword Master went to Zizi Temple in the first place and created the great Zizi Invisible Sword Qi.
The first nunnery master of Zizai'an was originally a top figure in Taoism. He finally entered Buddhism and finally understood "Zizi". The Ziwei Sword Master took its true meaning and developed this sword energy. At that time, he defeated the world's top swordsman Chen Beidou in an understatement. .
Before heading north, Shen Lian could certainly use the 'Great Freedom Invisible Sword Qi', but he could only describe it as 'nothing', not knowing its 'emptiness'. It is only now that he has mastered it.
This was also the reason why Chen Beidou made a three-year contract in the first place, because at that time Shen Lian's 'Great Freedom Invisible Sword Qi' was not worthy of his sword test.
Fang Yanying was extremely moved and at the same time extremely scared. What moved him was that his uncle taught him the art of swordsmanship. What he was afraid of was that his uncle's move also meant to entrust him. Could it be that Chen Beidou really couldn't defeat him.
She blurted out: "Uncle Master, what will happen if you take the longevity fruit? Can you use the technique of transplanting flowers and trees to transfer it to me?"
Shen Lian patted her shoulder and said softly: "What an idiot. Then Chen Jinchan, please don't trouble him. After this battle, if I can survive, I will take him back to Qingxuan and teach him his skills." "
After saying that, Shen Lian drew out his sword and drew a mysterious trajectory. An invisible wave of power spread across dozens of miles in an instant. The originally bare and decayed pine trees came back to life, and the rest of the vegetation flourished. Green leaves keep popping up, instantly making people feel endless vitality. All this is like the arrival of spring, the growth of all things, and the wonderful way of heaven and man.
The sword force of this sword is actually derived from the starting position of the sword energy that exists and does not exist, but it has already engraved Shen Lian's own mark.
After he raised his hand, he paused, and continued to wield the sword that was engraved with the mysterious principles of heaven and earth in a small area. He danced to clear the shadow, if he wanted to leave from this place at any time.
Next, he used seven moves in succession, each of which was unimaginable by Fang Yanying. Even in a space as small as a square inch, he experienced life, death, prosperity, and the five elements, which were simply a miniature world.
She even felt that if someone learned these eight sword techniques, even the Immortal Changsheng and the Golden Arhat would be able to make them drink with hatred.
She finally gained confidence, and her uncle still retained the hope of winning the sword fight.
Finally, Shen Lian sheathed his sword. There was nothing around him, including the soil. There was a bottomless black hole under his feet, which seemed to be connected to another unknown space. After a long time, it slowly closed.
——
Wind and snow, mountain temple.
Chen Jinchan didn't expect that the weather in the mountains would be so strange. It would snow when he said it would snow, just like it would snow when Chen Beidou said it would happen without any warning.
He was a little in awe of the Mountain God in his heart. The reason was that he felt that the Mountain God never had any respect. People who are not in awe have the ability to make others fear them. Otherwise, such people will not live long.
If people in the world live longer than anyone else, the Mountain God must be one of the people who lives the longest.
"Since you got the water back, I won't punish you." Chen Beidou's first words made Chen Jinchan relieved.
He said to Chen Beidou: "Master Mountain God, do you know who is helping me get water?"
"You want to ask, why should I send you to him, and what does he have to do with me?" Chen Beidou's eyes were like a sharp sword piercing Chen Jinchan's heart. He was really flustered, but he just managed to hold on. He stood still, but his body was shaking uncontrollably.
He replied with a slight trembling: "That's exactly what I want to ask."
"Next full moon night, he will come to sword fight with me." Chen Beidou said coldly.
He didn't mean to be cold on purpose, but he had always been like this. Chen Jinchan gradually got used to it, and the fear in his heart diminished a little.
"Is he your old man's enemy?" Chen Jinchan asked next.
"You don't have to ask. If he wants to teach you a skill, just learn it. There's no need to worry about others."
Chen Jinchan didn't quite understand the relationship between Shen Lian and Chen Beidou, but he also heard that the Mountain God didn't seem to have any ill feelings toward Shen Lian. The relationship between the two seemed very subtle, and they didn't look like life-and-death rivals.
He has seen the people of Chencun fighting with ferocious beasts, and he has also seen the fights between ferocious beasts. It was a life-and-death battle, with no room for each other, but he could not see this in the Mountain God.
Chen Jinchan didn't ask any more questions, and it was too late to ask anything at this time. The ladle of water flowed out, and his perception was filled with the sound of the roaring river waves. He saw the water pouring towards the sky one after another, because of the coldness of the sky and the water. differentiation, forming thick clouds.
The lightning flashed out in response to the sound of water, and swam uncertainly in the dark clouds like a big snake. The power of heaven and earth was enough to make mountain birds and beasts crawl.
It wasn't until noon that the water from the water ladle stopped flowing, and the clouds spread as far as Chen Jinchan could see, making it impossible to see where the boundary was. With a loud rumble, the heavy rain hit the ground like broken water drops one by one.
Soon Chen Jinchan was horrified. With every drop of water falling on his body, the heat in his body weakened. After a few drops, the heat in his body completely disappeared.
At this time, many mysterious lights flew out of Zhongshan Mountain, and their Tao Qi was clear, resisting the erosion of rain. One of them said:
"Chen Beidou, what do you want?"
