Jianfeng, in front of the cliff.
The moonlight is cold and the clouds are misty.
Linghu Qingzhu, dressed in green, was standing there alone and coldly, sobbing and playing the jade flute in his hand.
The cold cliff wind blew her hair and fluttered her dress.
Then, the sound of her flute echoed in the abyss.
Luo Qingzhou followed the two sisters Su Feng and Su Yu, and before they reached the edge of the cliff, they heard the melodious and moving flute sound.
The three of them stopped not far away and didn't dare to get closer.
Only when the flute sound stopped did the three of them continue forward and reach the edge of the cliff.
Under the cold moonlight, Linghu Qingzhu, dressed in green, was holding a jade flute, slightly tilting his face, looking at the deep starry sky, wondering what he was thinking about.
The three of them stopped and didn't dare to disturb them.
After a while, Linghu Qingzhu finally spoke up: "Do you think there are really people living on the moon?"
The two sisters, Su Feng and Su Yu, didn't know how to answer.
Luo Qingzhou thought for a moment and said, "There should be people living there, and maybe animals as well."
Linghu Qingzhu heard this and turned to look at him: "Oh?"
Luo Qingzhou said seriously: "I once read a book. It said that there is a palace on the moon. The name of the palace is Lingchan Moon Palace. In the palace lives a beautiful fairy, two beautiful maids, and two cute little white rabbits."
Linghu Qingzhu's expression slightly changed, and he asked, "What book?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "It's a very old book, I forgot what it was called, I read it when I was a child, and the book is long gone."
Linghu Qingzhu stared at him for a while and asked, "What are they doing up there?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "The book says that they are waiting for someone every night because that person can tell many interesting stories and is very handsome."
"Quack—"
Suddenly, a crow flew over the cliff in front and quickly disappeared in the clouds between the cliffs.
Linghu Qingzhu didn't ask any more questions, turned around and said, "Let's go."
Luo Qingzhou followed behind her.
Su Feng and Su Yu also turned and left.
Silence returned to the edge of the cliff again.
Suddenly, the crow that had just disappeared came back and flew around the cliff for a while before suddenly flying into the sky, turning into a ray of moonlight and disappearing.
Luo Qingzhou followed Linghu Qingzhu and came to the stone chamber again.
Linghu Qingzhu took out a green sword, turned around and looked at him expressionlessly.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the sword in her hand, took out his own black and white sword, and said respectfully: "Uncle Master, is tonight... "
"What did you call me?"
Linghu Qingzhu suddenly interrupted him with a cold expression.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, and said: "Peak...Peak Master?"
Linghu Qingzhu clenched the sword in his hand, sword shadows flashing in his eyes, and looked at him coldly.
Luo Qingzhou looked confused.
Linghu Qingzhu said coldly: "Call me Master."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, and said: "But, today in the hall..."
"Once a teacher, always a teacher. Since you called me Master yesterday, you should always call me Master from now on."
Linghu Qingzhu interrupted him.
Luo Qingzhou frowned and said, "But, if the Sect Master hears..."
"What if she hears it?"
Linghu Qingzhu's expression was cold: "She said that she would only accept you as her disciple temporarily, and you will still be mine in the future. If you feel embarrassed, you can call me Uncle Master in front of her and others in the future. When there are no one else around, you can continue to call me Master. Is there a problem?"
Luo Qingzhou: "... No, no problem..."
How dare he ask any questions
Linghu Qingzhu raised the sword in his hand and said coldly: "Come on. Use the sword moves on the jade disk to attack me. Use all your strength and use all your speed and strength. Don't be afraid of hurting me."
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, I practiced it several times yesterday and I feel that this ancient sword technique has other hidden sword moves. This sword technique seems to be able to be practiced by one person or two people together."
After hearing this, Linghu Qingzhu was stunned for a moment and asked, "How did you know that?"
Luo Qingzhou clenched the sword in his hand and said, "Master, stand there and don't move. I will show you how to do it."
As he spoke, the sword in his hand stabbed out with a "swish" sound, pointing at her abdomen. Then he stabbed out several times in succession, pointing at her chest. The places where the sword tips were aimed at were all major acupoints.
"Master, did you see that? In the last few moves, I was stabbing backwards from the back. In other words, this sword technique can be practiced forwards or backwards."
Luo Qingzhou stabbed a few more times skillfully, and combined with the ancient sword technique, he felt more and more that his guess was correct.
Linghu Qingzhu's expression changed, and he suddenly raised the sword in his hand and said, "Let's fight with swords. I will use the straight sword moves, and you use the reverse sword moves."
"good."
Luo Qingzhou took a step back and got into position.
“Swish!”
The two men drew their swords at the same time, using different sword moves and stabbing from different directions, but the two sword tips made a "clang" sound and touched each other's foreheads.
Linghu Qingzhu was startled, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Come again!"
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
The swords in the hands of the two men suddenly turned into several sword shadows, flying and fighting against each other in the stone chamber.
At first, both of them were slow.
But gradually, as the sword moves became more complicated, it started to get faster.
“Woo—”
A stream of swords suddenly rose from the ground and swirled around the two of them.
The moonstone inlaid on the ceiling of the cave began to flicker.
When the sword move was halfway through, Luo Qingzhou's sword speed suddenly became faster, more tricky and sharp, and both the sword in his hand and his movements became extremely light.
Linghu Qingzhu was just the opposite. The speed of his sword moves began to slow down, but every time he thrust out his sword, it was accompanied by a terrifying sword energy. The sword energy entangled the sword in Luo Qingzhou's hand, causing his sword moves to deviate each time.
At the same time, a faint sword light began to be emitted from the tips of their swords, making a hissing sound.
Luo Qingzhou's body suddenly became a little cold.
Linghu Qingzhu's whole body began to burn.
The figures of the two men and the sword shadows were entangled in the stone chamber, dancing and moving left and right, and their real bodies were almost invisible.
“Zheng!”
The two swords stabbed each other, and Luo Qingzhou suddenly slid out his sword, piercing through the opponent's sword shadow, and then stabbed her chest.
But the opponent did not dodge or block. He was suddenly shocked and hurriedly put away his sword. He jumped back and escaped from the battlefield surrounded by sword energy.
Linghu Qingzhu stood in place, the sword in her hand still in a stabbing state, and a tiny tear appeared in her clothes on her chest.
That was the mark left by the sword tip.
Luo Qingzhou hurriedly said: "Master, I'm sorry, you... why are you not moving?"
Linghu Qingzhu was startled, blushed, put away his sword, and said calmly: "I forgot the rest of the sword moves..."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Only then did he remember that the other party had not completely memorized the set of sword moves, and she asked him to come over tonight so that he could teach her again.
Linghu Qingzhu looked at him with complicated eyes and said, "I'm very curious. This set of sword moves is so complicated and profound. It's fine if you practice it forward, but why did you practice it backward without making any mistakes? And you are so proficient in it? Have you practiced this set of ancient swordsmanship before?"
Luo Qingzhou shook his head and said, "Practicing backwards is my first time tonight. I just followed the memory in my mind and performed each move one by one. I felt a little unfamiliar at the beginning, but later on, I felt more and more proficient. I don't know why."
Linghu Qingzhu stared at him for a while, and suddenly said, "Call me Master again."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment and said, "Master."
Linghu Qingzhu said expressionlessly: "Let's get started. Teach me everything that comes next."
"Yes, Master."
Luo Qingzhou took two steps back, raised the sword in his hand, and began to practice.
Linghu Qingzhu stood aside, watching him quietly. He was dazed for a moment before he came to his senses. He immediately calmed his mind and focused on watching his sword moves and body movements.
Half an hour later.
Linghu Qingzhu finally memorized all the sword moves.
She practiced a few more times, pointed the sword in her hand at him and said, "Come on, I'll do it upright and you do it backwards, let's do it again."
Luo Qingzhou said in embarrassment: "Master, it's getting late, I should go back. This sword technique is too complicated, there are too many moves, I can't practice it all in a short time, I'll have to wait until the next time I have a chance. Or, Master can teach it to Senior Sisters Su Feng and Su Yu, and let them practice with me."
Linghu Qingzhu put down the sword in his hand, looked at him coldly and said, "Don't you want to practice with me?"
Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "It's not that I don't want to, but I have to get up early tomorrow to become your disciple, and go to the Sutra Library to select a technique, so I want to go back and rest early. Also, I will be leaving tomorrow, and I'm not usually in the sect, so I can't always accompany you to practice swordsmanship."
After a pause, he continued, "Also, I am a practitioner of boxing, and I don't really understand swordsmanship..."
Linghu Qingzhu's eyebrows twitched a few times, "You don't know much about swordsmanship?"
Then he pointed at his chest and said coldly: "Did you stab me? Since I, Linghu Qingzhu, became the master of Jianfeng Peak, no one has been able to stab me with a sword, but tonight... I couldn't dodge it. I did forget the next sword move at that time, but I really couldn't dodge your sword... Chu Feiyang, you gave up the sword and practiced boxing, which is a complete waste of your peerless talent, do you know?"
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her towering chest, a little embarrassed, and said: "Master, I don't like swords very much."
Linghu Qingzhu narrowed her eyes, and suddenly stretched out a slender jade finger. She moved it slightly, and with a "huh" sound, a three-inch long flying sword shot out, spun rapidly around him, and then flew back to her fingertips, where it hovered.
She said coldly: "Today in the hall, I saw that you seemed very interested in the flying sword. If you follow me to practice sword, I can teach you to cultivate your soul. Then you will be able to drive the flying sword without touching it with your physical body."
As she spoke, her mind moved, and the flying sword suddenly flew out with a "huh" sound. After circling in the stone chamber, it hovered above her head, looking quite magical.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her flying sword, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Master, are you also practicing dual cultivation of body and soul? What realm has your soul reached?"
Linghu Qingzhu raised his chin slightly and said calmly, "He is in the middle stage of the Spirit Refining Realm, a month earlier than Peak Master You. He will probably be able to break through to the late stage before the end of the year."
The corner of Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched, and he said nothing more.
Linghu Qingzhu did not see the expression of envy and admiration on his face. He snorted coldly and said, "You probably don't know the realm of soul cultivation? As for the strength of the middle stage of the soul refining realm, you probably don't know it either? Have you heard of possession?"
Luo Qingzhou shook his head, secretly puzzled. According to what Sister Yue said, only when one reaches the late stage of Spirit Refining Realm can one use the physical body to drive the flying sword without letting the soul leave the body.
These two from Lingxiao Sect are both in the middle stage of Spirit Refining Realm, how can they directly use their physical bodies to drive it
Could it be because of the different materials of the flying sword
Or is it because of the difference in the inner strength of the soul
It seems that the flying swords driven by these two are far inferior to his in terms of speed, power, and distance.
Moreover, his flying sword seemed to be of significantly better quality.
It seems that the skills and materials from Sister Yue are much stronger than those from Lingxiao Sect.
He was now very curious about where Sister Yue’s sect was.
"Come on, let's go find a small animal. I'll show you the art of possession, and maybe you'll be interested in spiritual cultivation."
Linghu Qingzhu turned around and walked towards the door.
Luo Qingzhou said quickly: "Master, I am not really interested in these things. I just want to practice boxing wholeheartedly without distraction. That... It's getting late, I want to go back."
Linghu Qingzhu stopped and turned to look at him.
Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and said, "Master, I am really a little sleepy..."
Linghu Qingzhu said coldly: "If you cultivate your spirit, you won't feel sleepy even if you don't sleep for three days and three nights. The stronger your spirit, the more energy you will have when fighting. You will have more fighting spirit and momentum than others. When others are exhausted, you will still be full of energy and can continue to fight."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Oh."
Linghu Qingzhu: "..."
The stone chamber fell into silence and stillness.
After a moment.
Linghu Qingzhu asked again: "You really don't have any interest?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Yeah."
Linghu Qingzhu was silent for a moment, then turned around, walked in front of him, stared into his eyes and said, "Look into my eyes, I'll show you the power of Soul Shocking and Soul Capturing again."
Luo Qingzhou stared into her eyes obediently.
Linghu Qingzhu immediately focused his spirit, staring at his Tong Kong with both eyes, and then suddenly released his spirit power, shouting: "Kneel down!"
Luo Qingzhou stood there, stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly shook his body, bent his knees, and prepared to kneel on the ground. After hesitating for a moment, he sat down on the ground again, then raised his head and said in a trembling voice: "Master, you are so powerful... I feel a buzzing in my head, and my body is weak, so scary..."
Linghu Qingzhu froze in place, staring at him motionlessly with a strange look in his eyes, as if he was looking at a monster.
