when!
A bell rings,
It startled countless birds in the forest.
A group of female nuns poured out from the mountain gate. Each one held a wooden sword and quickly took position. The three in the front, the three in the middle, and the three in the back formed a nine-square sword array in the blink of an eye. These nuns, some old and some young, held their sword fingers and pointed the wooden swords at Ning Tao, all of them looking murderous.
Ning Tao said in astonishment: "This... what does this mean?"
Ci En said: "Doctor Ning, I'm really sorry. This is our rule here. Outsiders have to go through the Nine Heavens Sword Formation if they want to enter the mountain gate. You are a guest, so we changed to wooden swords."
Ning Tao frowned: "I'm a cultivation doctor. I'm good at refining elixirs and treating diseases, but I'm a rookie in fighting. I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to ask me to break into the sword formation, right?"
Ci En said: "This is actually an opportunity for you, Dr. Ning, to prove your strength. The Emei Sect is not just for anyone who wants to enter. This is the holy land of Buddhism. This Nine Heavens Sword Formation contains the principles of Buddhism. Only those who have broken through the sword Only those who are in the formation are qualified to enter.”
Ning Tao said: "What if I can't get through?"
Ci En raised her finger and pointed in a direction.
Ning Tao looked in the direction Ci En pointed and saw a simple thatched cottage, located in the middle of several fields, looking lonely.
Ci En said: "The only thing I can do is ask Dr. Ning to condescend to stay there temporarily."
Ning Tao looked at the thatched cottage and thought to himself: "Could it be that Master Jiexin knew my purpose of coming and didn't want me to enter the mountain gate, but wanted me to help her repair the flying sword, so she settled me in this way?" In that thatched cottage?"
If he hadn't come for Zhu Hongyu's skull fragments, he might have turned around and left. However, only after entering the mountain gate and meeting Master Mie Xin did he have a chance to find the fragments of Zhu Hongyu's skull and solve the mystery of Zhu Hongyu's murder. How could he be so impulsive and turn around and leave
Seeing Ning Tao's silence, Ci En's tone contained a hint of contempt: "Doctor Ning, don't you even have the courage to enter the mountain gate?"
Ning Tao put away his thoughts and smiled calmly: "If that's the case, then I'll just try my best."
"Please!" Ci En backed away.
Cixin and several nuns also retreated, leaving only Ning Tao and nine nuns on the opposite side holding wooden swords in a sword formation on the road leading to the mountain gate.
Ning Tao pulled up the hood of Tianbao's robe and covered his head, then walked towards the sword formation.
"There are nine levels in the sky, nine and nine are unified!" In the sword formation, a year-old nun chanted, and with her included, nine wooden swords suddenly flew out from the sword formation, and the nine swords merged into one, with With a sharp sound breaking through the air, it pierced toward Ning Tao.
Ning Tao didn't hide and caught the sword with his chest.
Cixin exclaimed: "Be careful!"
However, her reminder was not nearly as fast as Jiujiu Guiyi's wooden flying sword. As soon as her "be careful" flew out of her lips, a huge wooden sword pierced Ning Tao's chest.
Ci En and a group of nuns watching the battle were all shocked. With such ability, how dare he break into the Nine Heavens Sword Formation
But just when the nuns watching the battle thought that Ning Tao would vomit blood and fall to the ground, Ning Tao stretched out his hand and slapped it, and the nine flying swords that merged into one instantly split apart and fell to the ground with a clatter.
Also dropped were the chins of Emei sect masters.
He actually used his chest to catch the sword, and then broke the sword array with his ultimate move!
The Tianbao robe is invulnerable to bullets and cannot be penetrated by bullets. How can a few wooden swords penetrate the robe and injure Ning Tao? But he will definitely not tell this secret.
The nine nuns made a move with their hands, and the wooden sword that fell on the ground flew back to their hands like it was attracted by a magnet. The nine nuns dispersed at that moment, trapping Ning Tao in the middle.
Sanskrit verses came out from their mouths, wooden swords danced, strong winds rose, and a thick fog rushed in from all directions, swallowing Ning Tao in the blink of an eye.
Outside the sword formation, Ci En said calmly: "There are nine levels in the Nine Heavens Sword Formation. He passed the first level by luck, but he is determined not to be able to pass the second level."
A nun said with a smile: "When he is defeated, I will go to that thatched cottage to make a bed for him and let him live there."
Ci En nodded slightly.
But at this moment, a figure soared into the sky from the mist, taking one step in the void, rising a step higher, taking another step, rising another step, and then the third step, the fourth step, and the fifth step!
Each step is two meters higher, five steps are higher than ten meters, plus the four or five meters of the jump when taking off, Ning Tao's leap is equivalent to flying into the sky of 14 to 15 meters. That's almost five stories high!
Even Tang Zixian, who is very good at Qinggong, cannot reach such a height, let alone step on the void. The posture is extremely free and unrestrained, just like dancing!
A group of nuns looked up at Ning Tao in the sky, their eyes widening.
During the two seconds of being stuck in the air, Ning Tao even unhurriedly pulled out his unbreakable fan, bounced it open with a crash, and fanned against the thick fog below.
A breath of wind blew out from the unbreakable fan, but the thick fog below did not dissipate.
This is a bit embarrassing to pretend to fail.
The unbreakable fan is a magic weapon belonging to Emperor Xuan, which is a magic weapon belonging to ordinary cultivators. Ning Tao repaired it, but he was never able to use it normally. At most, he can only use it to block bullets. Now that he has the Tianbao robe to block bullets, the protective area of this indestructible fan is useless. It seems it's time to retire it and give it to Jiang Hao or Qing Zhui, or Bai Jing and Yin Molan.
Ning Tao's feet landed on the ground, already outside the Nine Heavens Sword Formation. He gently shook the unbreakable fan to cover up his intention to use the unbreakable fan to blow away the thick fog of the sword formation.
The dense fog surrounding the sword formation dispersed with a splash, and nine sword-wielding nuns appeared, each with a look of shock on their faces. When Ning Tao used Qing Kung to break the formation, how could they let him escape? All nine of them pursued Ning Tao together. The Emei Sect's Qing Kung is unparalleled in the world, no weaker than the Tang Sect, so they even felt that Ning Tao was humiliating himself by using Qing Kung to break the formation. However, after chasing them, they discovered that Ning Tao not only flew faster than them, but also flew faster than them. high!
Ning Tao said aloud: "Well, have I broken through the sword formation?"
Each of the nine sword-wielding nuns shouted loudly and rushed forward with a crash.
This time they did not attack Ning Tao directly with flying swords, but Ning Tao surrounded him, holding the sword and reciting spells.
In Ning Tao's sight, the void trembled, and a golden Samantabhadra Bodhisattva riding an elephant appeared out of thin air. The Bodhisattva's golden light and majestic face make people dare not look directly at him. The white elephant is a hundred meters tall and so huge that it can crush a mountain with just one foot!
Outside the sword formation.
Ci En snorted coldly: "He will not be able to pass this third level. This third level requires understanding the essence of Buddhism to pass."
In the sword formation.
Ning Tao whispered: "I was breathing in the womb and heard the sound of the great avenue."
when!
The divine bell rang, and outsiders could not hear the mighty chime of the divine bell, but in Ning Tao's mind it was like an overwhelming wave, instantly washing away the golden Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and the one hundred meters away. Tall huge white elephant.
They are nothing but illusions, and the first sentence of Your Sutra is designed to destroy all kinds of illusions.
Ning Tao's body swayed and he broke out of the Nine Heavens Sword Formation again.
There were chins everywhere again, not only from the nuns who were watching, but also from the nuns who were forming a formation.
Ning Tao said: "How many levels are there in this sword formation? How long will it take for me to break each level? Why don't you just use your most powerful move and we can solve the problem at once, okay?"
"Arrogant!" Ci En was angered, and Fo Chen waved: "The sky will be unified, and the magic fire will destroy the devil!"
Ning Tao smiled and said: "I'm not a demon, how can you destroy me?"
Nine sword-wielding nuns quickly got into position and once again trapped Ning Tao in the middle.
Cixin suddenly became nervous: "Senior sister, according to the rules, Dr. Ning is considered to have passed as long as he has passed three levels. This ninth level is the killing level. How could you..."
Before Ci Xin could finish her words, Ci En interrupted her: "I have my own sense of discretion, so don't talk too much - come on!"
With a sound of "fire", the wooden swords in the hands of the nine sword-wielding nuns suddenly exploded. In an instant, the wood powder spread throughout the sword array, sweeping towards Ning Tao from all directions. Before it touched Ning Tao's body, all the wood powder burst into flames, and Ning Tao's surroundings and head were filled with bright golden flames.
This is a fire prison!
Ning Tao couldn't use the ladder under his feet to escape from the formation.
The nine nuns took a step towards Ning Tao, and the Fire Prison immediately shrank. They took another step forward, and the tower shrank again. In the third step, Ning Tao could already feel the hot air waves. Not only was the Dharma Fire extremely hot, it seemed to be torturing his soul!
Ci En said sternly: "Doctor Ning, as long as you admit defeat now and live in that thatched cottage, I will withdraw."
Ning Tao suddenly understood. Just now Ci Xin said that he had passed the level if he passed three levels according to the rules, but Ci En insisted on using the ninth level, the strongest one. He also said that as long as he surrendered and lived in a thatched cottage, he would withdraw from the formation. The Heart-Destroying Master It was already obvious that he really didn’t want him to live in the Emei Sect.
But the more Master Miexin acts like this, the more it proves that there is a scarlet jade skull here!
Ning Tao smiled calmly: "Admit defeat? The word "admit defeat" has never been in my life dictionary."
Ci En said: "Do you think the clothes you are wearing can withstand the wrath of the Nine Heavens? You will be burned to death!"
Ning Tao also knew that the Tianbao robe could not completely withstand the magic fire of this sword formation. The Tianbao robe only had a partial magic immunity performance, but it was not absolute. When encountering powerful magic weapons and magic circles, it would still be damaged and he would be injured. Even into extremely dangerous situations. However, he has his own way of breaking the formation!
Ning Tao glanced at Ci En outside the fire prison and grinned: "I think your fire is no different from the fire at a street barbecue stall."
Ci En was angered: "Come on!"
The nine formation nuns took the fourth step, and the fire prison shrank again. In an instant, the flames billowed, and the hot breath burned Ning Tao. Although he was protected by Tianbao magic robes, the hair on his knuckles was instantly burnt when his palms were exposed to the air, giving off a burning smell. His skin was also sizzling and could be scorched at any moment!
Ci En shouted angrily: "Hurry up and admit defeat!"
Ning Tao took a deep breath and recited loudly: "There is no end to the sea of suffering, and only a single drop of water is floating."
Spiritual chanting has its own magic power.
When the third sentence of "Your Sutra" came out, the temperature around Ning Tao suddenly dropped, and the whole world seemed to be submerged by the ocean. The aura of sadness and despair swept through everyone's hearts, including the nine nuns who formed the formation.
On one side was the Dharma fire and on the other was the vast ocean. As soon as the two energies collided, they both disappeared.
Ning Tao walked past the Nine Heavens Sword Formation.
Behind him, a large group of nuns were stunned.
