Xuan Yue giggled, lying beside Ah-Dai's ear, and said: "I won't pull it, if you use your sacred vindictiveness to inject into my body, won't I not be cold? Besides, I can exert divine power on myself. It’s the same blessing! Then sleeping on your back is the same. Go ahead, don’t let that kid look down on you.” She called Liao Xiaozi, but she didn’t think about it, Liao Yi was older than her and Dui.
Duan nodded and said: "Okay then, let's go now, wait until the Tiangang Sword Sect, and then have a good rest."
"Brother Rock, do you still need to rest?"
Yan Yan shook his head and said: "Since this brother said that we want to leave now, let's go now. I am also eager to see Teacher Xiwen sooner. With this brother leading the way, we can avoid a lot of detours."
Liao Yidao: "Well, you follow me closely, and I will lead the way." After speaking, he touched the ground with his feet and floated forward gently. Dumb carried Xuanyue and Brother Rock on his back and hurried to follow. All three of them were stronger than Liao Yi in terms of skill, but they were not familiar with the path. With him leading the way, it was much easier to walk without having to discern the direction.
Liao Yi became more and more frightened as he walked. Among the four generations of disciples of the Tiangang Sword Sect, he could be regarded as an outstanding leader, but compared with these young people of different races from the Suoyu Federation, he obviously had a lot of differences. big gap. Even the short man who looked very strong could easily keep up with him, the previous contempt disappeared immediately, he slowed down a bit, and headed towards Tiangang Mountain.
The night was filled, and a faint chill invaded everyone's bodies. Duan was afraid that it would freeze until Xuanyue, so he kept injecting vital energy into her body to help her drive away the cold dew in the middle of the night. In fact, Xuan Yue is not that afraid of the cold, she already wears more clothes than others, and she has the heat from Dumb's back to warm her body up, so the cold air in the mountains doesn't affect her much. However, it was very comfortable to have the vital energy entering her body. After a while, she actually fell asleep. As long as she was with Duan, Xuan Yue would always feel safe in her heart. Although her posture was not very good, she still slept soundly.
It took almost half the night, and in the middle of the night, Liao Yi led everyone to the foot of Tiangang Mountain. Because it was late at night, Ah-Dai and the others could only vaguely distinguish a high mountain in front of them. The mountain was much gentler than the peaks they had seen before. Liao Yi stopped and stood at the foot of the mountain, and the figure flashed by. beside him. Shi Yan looked up the mountain intently, "Is this Tiangang Mountain? Why isn't there even a road?"
Liao Yi smiled slightly and said, "Tiangang Mountain covers a very large area. Only the side facing the Huasheng Empire has the main road up the mountain. If we take the right road, we will take a detour. This is only the back mountain, and there is a small road leading to the top of the mountain. We can climb to the top of the mountain from here."
Feeling Xuanyue's even breathing behind him, Ah-Dai clenched his hands tightly and said, "Brother Liao, then you can lead the way."
Liao nodded and led the three of them into the dense forest at the foot of Tiangang Mountain. Sure enough, as he said, there was a winding path in the dense forest. The four of them walked along the path. But it is like walking on flat ground, climbing rapidly. After climbing halfway up the mountain, Liao Yicai stopped again, sat on the ground panting, and said, "It's still early, let's take a rest first." , the vitality in his body could no longer support it. Rock and Rock Power were also a little tired. Although their battle energy was strong, it didn't have the characteristic of inexhaustible real energy, and they sat on the side panting slightly. Among the few people, only Ah-Dai, who was carrying Xuanyue on his back, was fine. Although he was a little tired, the vitality in his body circulated endlessly, changing from a liquid state to a gaseous state, and then from a gaseous state to a liquid state. Give him the motivation to move forward.
Duan carefully put down Xuanyue's legs, turned around gently, held her in his arms, and sat beside her with her in his arms. The halfway up Tiangang Mountain was a bit colder than the bottom, and he was afraid that Xuanyue would be taken advantage of by the cold , holding Xuanyue in his arms, and pressing the spiritual platform behind her with one hand, slowly injecting vital energy into her body. A faint white light enveloped the two of them, so obvious in the dark night.
Liao Yi stared at Ah-Dai in a daze, how could he not be clear about the characteristics of Shengsheng Zhenqi, the Shengsheng Zhenqi exuded by Ah-Dai has reached the state of photochemical and vaporization, which can only be manifested after the fifth level of Shengshengjue cultivation yes! He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, moved closer to Dumb, and asked, "Little brother, are you using the Shengsheng Zhenqi of our Tiangang Sword Sect?"
Dumb nodded, and made a small gesture to him, Xuan Yue was soundly asleep, and he didn't want to wake up the baby in his arms.
Liao Yi lowered his voice and said excitedly: "Then, may I ask that you are the disciple of that uncle or uncle, I don't think I've seen you before! Why does your vitality seem to have reached the fifth level?" , It’s about the same as my master, this, this is impossible.” In the Tiangang Sword Sect, the skills of the second-generation disciples generally remain at the seventh and eighth levels of Shengshengjue. The disciples of the third generation are in the range from the fourth floor to the fifth floor. Only one or two disciples with good aptitude who started earlier can reach the realm of the sixth floor. Among the four generations of disciples, including Liao Yi, only three of them have entered the third stage. Even so, they were all praised by the master Xiwen. The characteristic of Sheng Sheng Jue is that it is extremely difficult to practice, but every time it rises to a level, its skill will be greatly improved, and its foundation is very good. Compared with some other schools, it is often only in the later stage that it takes advantage.
Duan said: "My uncle taught me how to practice life and life. I can't tell you his name yet. Before he died, my uncle asked me to come to Tiangang Mountain to meet Tiangang Sword Sage, his old man."
Liao Yi's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and said in a broken voice, "Your name can't be Dumb."
Duan was taken aback, and said in surprise: "You, how do you know?" He thought: I have never seen him before!
Liao was overjoyed and said: "Great, so you are really dumb, and I have made a great contribution this time. You don't know, the grand master personally ordered all the people to disperse to the mainland to find your whereabouts." , must bring you to his old man, my luck is so good that I met you in the mountains. Come on, let's go up the mountain quickly." He thought to himself, found the person Tai Shizu was looking for, and returned to In the pie, no matter what, you can show your prestige.
Dumb scratched his head, and said, "Don't you need to rest? Is Tiangang Sword Master looking for me? Why did he look for me?" Tiangang Sword Master is the teacher of Dumb's uncle Owen, and Owen is already in his sixties. Tiangang Sword Master is naturally older, so he is called an old man.
Liao nodded and said: "Yes! Now the whole faction is mobilized and looking for you everywhere. Don't rest, let's go. I don't know why Taishizu is looking for you. It seems that after Uncle Feng Ping came back that time, I said something to several master ancestors, and then the grand master passed down the order to find you."
Feng Ping? This name is so familiar! Dumb thought about it carefully, and then remembered that the middle-aged man of the Tiangang Sword Sect he met in the small town of the Honghu Clan, he even gave himself a bag of gold coins. What a nice guy to say. "Well, I'm not tired anyway. Brother Rock, how are you doing? Can you still go on your way?"
Both Yan Yan and Yan Li heard the conversation between the two just now, and leaned forward, Yan Yan said: "Brother Liao Yi, you said that the Sword Master of Tiangang wants to see Dumb? Hasn't the old man stopped asking about world affairs?"
Liao Yi said impatiently: "Don't ask me any more, hurry up and follow me. I'm just a low-level disciple, how can I know so much! Everything will be clear when I get to the mountain."
Xuan Yue opened her hazy eyes, frowned and said, "What are you arguing about! Are you at the Tiangang Sword Sect?"
Duan said softly: "It's not here yet, I'll call you when I get there, come on, lie on my back and sleep, we're on our way again."
"Oh." Xuan Yue agreed, then lay on Dumb's back in a daze, and murmured with her eyes closed: "How far is it! Why haven't we arrived yet?"
Dumb smiled and said, "Don't worry, we're coming soon. Yueyue, are you cold?"
Xuan Yue didn't answer, and there was the sound of even breathing. It turned out that she had fallen asleep again. Ah-Dai shook his head helplessly, and injected another burst of true energy into Xuanyue's body to help her maintain her body temperature, and turned to Liao Yidao: "Let's go on the road."
Liao Yi's heart was filled with abnormal excitement, he nodded his head, and rushed towards the top of the mountain with all his strength along the path. Dumb and Brother Rock hurriedly followed, the sound of swishing through the air continued to sound, and four black shadows continued to rise towards the top of Tiangang Mountain.
When the five of them reached the top of the mountain, dawn broke, the dark sky gradually turned dark blue, and the eastern sky gradually turned white jade-like, gradually brightening up. Under the gradually stronger light, peaks like blades stand at the foot of Tiangang Mountain. Among the clouds and mist, only some towering peaks can show their heads, giving people a feeling like in a dream, as if they have already It's like entering a fairyland. If it is said that the city of elves gathers the most beautiful places in the world, Tiangang Mountain is the place where the magnificence of the world is gathered. The feeling of seeing the small mountains at a glance makes people open-minded. While everyone was focusing on the beautiful scenery around them, a red light burst out suddenly in the far east. The red sun rose slowly like a round red fruit. Its light was not dazzling, and it rose slowly. Under its reflection, the cloud and mist gradually turned into gold.
Liao Yi stopped and said: "You guys are so lucky, it's hard to see the sunrise usually. Tiangang's sunrise is a famous beauty in the world. When the dawn of Tiangang breaks and the red sun shines on the golden clouds, it's a good time for Tiangang. The praise of the sunrise."
At this time, Xuan Yue had already woken up, looked at the moving scenery with a little fascination, and sighed: "It's so beautiful."
The sun gradually became stronger and shone on everyone, dyeing them golden like clouds.
Rock said: "Brother Liao Yi, we are almost at the top of the mountain, why haven't we seen your Tiangang Sword Sect?"
Liao Yi smiled and said: "The top of Tiangang Mountain is very flat. Our Paili house is in the middle of the mountain, like a big courtyard. Of course we can't see it now. We will reach the top of the mountain soon."
"Who?" With a few groans, a few people jumped out from the front of the path. Their attire was similar to Liao Yi's, and they were four young men under twenty years old.
"It's me, juniors, are you on duty today?"
"Ah! So it's Senior Brother Liao Yi! Didn't you go to patrol the mountains? Why did you come back so soon?" From the respectful attitudes of several teenagers towards Liao Yi, it can be seen that Liao Yi is still very respectful among the four generations of disciples. popular. The Tiangang Mountain Range is vast, and it usually takes about half a month for the Xunshan disciples of the Tiangang Sword Sect to turn around in one direction. Yesterday, Liao Yi was going to take advantage of the cooler night to hurry, but he happened to meet Duan and the others. He suddenly turned around before the time came, which would naturally surprise these mountain guard disciples.
Liao Yi smiled slightly, and said: "Isn't there a guest here? I was afraid that the guests would not find us, so I brought them back."
The four teenagers looked at Dumb and the others. Their different attires aroused their interest, but the style of the Tiangang Sword Sect has always been rigorous, and they did not dare to be too presumptuous. People, especially the beautiful Xuan Yue, are the objects of their attention.
Liao Yi coughed and said: "Junior brothers, you continue to guard here, I will take the guests up first."
"Yes, senior brother, honored guests." The four teenagers stepped aside. Liao Yi finally climbed to the top of Tiangang Mountain with Duan and others. As Liao Yi said, the top of the mountain was flat and open, and there was a huge courtyard in the center of the mountain top. The three-foot-high courtyard wall blocked everyone's sight, and they couldn't peek inside. Xuan Yue jumped off Ah-Dai's back and looked around excitedly. Although she didn't sleep well, the warmth and sense of security that Ah-Dai brought her made Xuan Yue's body fully rested.
"Is that the Tiangang Sword Sect over there? The Sword Sect is so famous on the mainland, I thought there would be a huge palace."
Xuanyue chuckled and said, "Brother Rock, you are not mistaken. Tiangang Mountain is more than 6,000 meters above sea level. It will take a lot of engineering to build a palace! I am afraid it will not be completed in a hundred years."
Liao nodded and said: "Miss is right. Even this courtyard took nearly ten years to complete. It was all done by our Tiangang Sword Sect. If we hire ordinary people to do it, I'm afraid It dragged on for a long time, and the courtyard was basically made of local materials and the hard granite in the mountains. When I joined the sect, it was already built. According to my teacher, they used cut granite I’m here to practice swords. I don’t know how big the courtyard of the Sword Sect is. I only know that there is a martial arts field where hundreds of people can practice swordsmanship at the same time. The disciples all live here, basically two or three people share a room, and there are still many vacant rooms."
Dumb said: "What a huge project! Big Brother Liao, hurry up and take us to have a look."
Yan Li rubbed his stomach and said, "It's best to get something to eat and drink first, I can't take it anymore."
The Tiangang Sword Sect was approaching, and the clash of weapons and the sound of shouting could be heard clearly. Duan was taken aback, and rushed to Liao: "Someone sneaked into your Sword Sect? Let's go and have a look."
Liao Yi smiled and said: "I haven't heard of anyone daring to attack our Tiangang Sword Sect. Even the Killer Guild might not have the guts. This is everyone doing morning lessons and practicing swordsmanship." He was not boasting. , although the number of disciples of the Tiangang Sword Sect is not very large, they are all very capable in individual combat, especially the second-generation disciples. In a one-on-one situation, even the killers of the Yuansha group need more than three people to be possible win.
"This kind of numbness is unacceptable. Liao boy, you should change your arrogance." The thick and kind voice came out, and everyone's eyes dimmed, and there was an extra person in front of them. This person was dressed in white, had a gray beard and hair, and looked to be in his sixties. With a straight waist and a kind smile on his face, he was looking at Dumb and the others.
Liao Yi hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "I have seen the fourth master." This person is Lu Wen, the fourth disciple of Tiangang Sword Master.
Lu Wen laughed and scolded: "You kid, get up quickly." With a wave of his hand, a faint white light flashed, and Liao Yi was lifted up vigorously. Although the energy was surging, it was extremely soft, which greatly admired Duan and others. "Who are these people? How did you bring them up the mountain?"
Liao Yi pointed at Ah-Dai, and replied respectfully: "Fourth Master, this little brother is the Ah-Dai whom Grand Master wants to see."
Lu Wen was taken aback, his body suddenly moved in front of Ah-Dai like lightning, and slapped his chest with a palm, the white light suddenly flourished, and surging energy flowed out. Lu Wen's attack speed was very fast, and the rock and rock force couldn't get in at all. Even if they reacted in time, it was impossible to break through the fighting spirit emanating from Lu Wen's body. Duan only felt a strong force enveloping his body, he was like a bird in a cage, unable to dodge at all, his chest was so pressed by the surging energy that it was difficult to breathe, so he had to cover his chest with his hands, and breathe out the true energy all over his body In an instant, it was transformed into fighting spirit and suddenly emitted.
"Boom—" Dumb's body flew out. When the fighting energy of the two collided, he clearly felt that the fighting energy from Lu Wen was very soft, like a huge soft cushion, although it contained great power, it would not hurt anyone. He was just bounced out of this cushion-like energy.
As soon as Yan Li saw Dumb being attacked, he was furious, and pulled out the battle ax behind his back with both hands, and shouted: "What are you doing?"
Lu Wen ignored Yan Li, smiled at Dumb, and said, "Okay, it really is the fifth level of fighting spirit. I really don't know how the ninth brother taught it. My child, your master is called Owen."
From the opponent's attack, Duan felt that the kind old man in front of him was not malicious, and murmured, "Uncle Owen is not my teacher, but he taught me a lot of kung fu."
Lu Wen smiled and said: "Since Junior Brother Owen taught you the Judgment of Life and Life, you are already a disciple of our Tiangang Sword Sect. Liao Yi, go, ring the Tianxuan Bell nine times, and call your masters over."
Liao Yi thought he heard it wrong, the nine-ring Tianxuan bell would only ring when there was a big event in the faction, so he asked: "Fourth master, do you ring nine?"
Lu Wen nodded and said: "It's Jiuxiang. Go quickly. You come with me." The last sentence was for Dumb and others. After speaking, he turned and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
The Dumb four followed Lu Wen into the Tiangang Sword Sect. The layout of the Sword Sect was very simple, without any decorations. The ground was paved with bluestone, and the surroundings were empty. Led by Lu Wen, they walked through the first courtyard and went straight to the lobby behind. In the Tiangang Sword Sect, except for the Tiangang Sword Master and the second-generation disciples, other disciples are not allowed to enter the lobby without being summoned.
As soon as the four of them entered the lobby, a loud bell rang. Since the top of Tiangang Mountain was much higher than the surrounding mountains, the loud bell sounded ten miles away, and the bell kept ringing for nine times before stopping. It was Tianxuan Zhongming of the Tiangang Sword Sect.
Entering the lobby, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge Tiangang sword hanging in the middle of the front wall. This Tiangang sword is about ten feet long, and the broad sword is one and a half feet wide and half a foot thick. From the cold light above, it can be seen that this sword is not a decoration, such a huge sword may weigh close to a thousand catties. On the blade of the giant sword are engraved two large characters - Tiangang. There is a wooden chair at the front of the giant sword, and there are five chairs on each side of the lower hand. The area of the lobby is about 200 square meters, and it is usually the place where the second-generation disciples of the literary class discuss matters.
Lu Wen casually found a chair and sat down, looked at Duan and the others and said, "Look at your dusty appearance, it's not a short distance."
Rock said: "Yes, we came from the Tianyuan tribe of Suoyu Federation. We were going to do some business in the Sunset Empire. We passed by here and wanted to visit Teacher Xiwen. I am Rock from the Puyan tribe. This is me. Brother Yanli. The two of them are Duan and Xuanyue. Are you?"
Lu Wen smiled kindly, and said: "I am Lu Wen, the second-generation disciple of the Tiangang Sword Sect, and Xi Wen is my senior brother. Wait a minute, wait until my senior brothers come together, and ask Dumb if you have anything to say."
Since coming to the Tiangang Sword Sect, Dumb has a kind feeling in his heart, maybe because this is Uncle Owen's home. Wouldn't uncle be very happy if he knew that I came here so soon? Duan said: "Uncle Lu Wen, I wonder if I can meet the old man, the Sword Saint of Tiangang. When my uncle was dying, he said that he wanted me to meet his old man." When Owen's death was mentioned, Duan's face suddenly darkened. Thinking of Owen's tragic death, his heart ached.
Lu Wen's smile disappeared, he sighed, and said, "Is the little brother really dead? Son, even if you don't want to see the master, we will let you see the old man. Let's talk about it when your seniors come." .”
At this moment, a loud voice sounded, "Who made the Tianxuan bell ringing to wake me up from my sleep? I haven't woken up yet." A strong man with a rough beard came closer, although his beard and hair were already a little gray. , but the aggression on his face did not diminish at all. It was Zhou Wen, the seventh disciple of the Sword Master of Tiangang. Although he is in his sixties, his fiery temper has not diminished in the slightest.
Lu Wen shook his head helplessly, and said: "Lao Qi, at such an advanced age, you still sleep in late every day, and you don't take the lead for your disciples. I called that kid Liao Yi."
As soon as Zhou Wen entered the door, he saw the dumb people, looked them up and down, sat next to Lu Wen and said, "Fourth Brother, I have had this problem for a long time. Who are they!"
Lu Wen said: "Let's talk about it when the big brothers come. They should be here soon."
Just as Zhou Wen was about to say something more, Xi Wen, the second-generation head of the Tiangang Sword Sect, and four other people filed in. Lu Wen and Zhou Wen hurriedly stood up, "Brother."
Xi Wen nodded at them, and looked at the four dumb people. Xiwen has not changed much compared to ten years ago. Yan Yan and Yan Li recognized at a glance that the person in front was Teacher Xi Wen who taught them martial arts, and hurried forward to salute: "Mr. Xi Wen."
Xi Wen's eyes flashed with lightning, and he asked with some doubts: "Who are you?" Yan Yan and Yan Li learned martial arts from him more than ten years ago, and their appearance has changed a long time ago, and now they have shaved their heads again. I can't even recognize it.
Rock said excitedly: "Teacher Xiwen, I am Rock from the Puyan tribe! This is my brother Yanli, don't you remember us?"
Xiwen suddenly said: "So it's you! I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you have all grown up. Why come to us when you have time?"
The rock explained: "We are passing by here, and we happened to stop by to see you."
Xi Wen nodded with a smile, looked at Lu Wen and said, "Fourth Brother, it was the Tianxuan Bell that you asked someone to ring, right? Is it for them?"
Lu Wen took a step forward and said, "Senior Brother, they came with Dumb. It's the Dumb that Feng Ping mentioned." He pointed to Dumb beside Mu Li.
Xi Wen was startled, his eyes shone brightly, and under his gaze, Ah-Dai had a feeling of being seen through, and saluted, "Hello, everyone."
Xi Wen didn't care about his title, and asked a little excitedly: "Are you Owen's disciple? We heard from Feng Ping that Owen..."
Duan said sadly: "Uncle Owen has passed away."
The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became solemn, and the seven Xi Wen looked at each other, and he said in a deep voice, "Tell me, how did Ninth Junior Brother die?"
There was a look of grief and indignation in Dumb's eyes, and he said with hatred: "It's the Killers Guild, and it's the Killers Guild's people who killed Uncle Owen."
Zhou Wen's whole body was full of momentum, and he said angrily: "It turned out to be those bastards, they ran rampant on the mainland and killed people everywhere, but even the younger brother... Huh, if I don't wipe them out, I won't be called Zhou Wen .” With that said, he turned around and was about to walk out.
Xi Wen frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Lao Qi, come back to me, and clarify the matter first."
Although Zhou Wen has a grumpy temper, he is indeed a little afraid of him as a senior brother. When he first joined the sect, many kung fus were taught to him by Xi Wen's acting teacher. Hearing this, he had no choice but to stop.
Xi Wenchong Luwen said: "Fourth brother, you ask the disciples to arrange a place for them to live, and we will take Dumb to see the master and his old man immediately."
Lu Wen nodded in response, turned around and walked out.
Xuan Yue leaned close to Ah-Dai, and said, "I, I want to follow Ah-Dai."
It was only then that Xiwen noticed the little girl in front of him. He smiled slightly and said, "Girl, you are from the Holy See. This matter of dumb is related to some secrets of our Tiangang Sword Sect. You should go and rest first. Wait." When he comes back, he will naturally find you."
Xuanyue was startled, the old man in front of her gave her a feeling that she could see through the world, and the invisible pressure didn't seem to be under her father. Subconsciously nodded and said nothing.
In fact, in terms of strength, Xi Wen, who is good at martial arts, is a little worse than Xuan Ye, who is good at sacred magic, but that is only because of some special characteristics of magic. Xiwen's profound skills are even higher than Owen's, and he is the number one master of the Tiangang Sword Sect except the Tiangang Sword Master.
The rock suddenly realized: "Yueyue, so you are from the Holy See. No wonder you objected so much when I said to go to the Holy See last time. Did you run away?"
Xuan Yue glared at Yan Yan, and said angrily, "I want you to take care of it."
Lu Wen came back soon, and two third-generation disciples followed him in, and walked out with Brother Rock and Xuanyue who was full of unwillingness.
Duan didn't want to be separated from Xuan Yue, but when he thought of Owen's dying entrustment, he still endured it. After learning the exact news of Owen's death, Xi Wen felt extremely heavy in his heart, sighed, and said, "Let's go, go see the master and his old man." After finishing speaking, he and the six juniors and Dumb walked out of the lobby and walked through the courtyard , went straight to the back mountain of Tiangang Mountain, the grotto where the Tiangang Sword Master practiced.
The pressure brought by the seven second-generation disciples of the Tiangang Sword Sect to Ah-Dai was extremely huge. He unconsciously circulated the vitality in his body, and while walking, Xi Wen asked: "Dai, how long have you been with Owen? You have already cultivated to the fifth level of Shengshengjue. Owen taught you really well!" Among Xi Wen's own disciples, there was nothing outstanding, and he couldn't help feeling a little envious of Owen.
Dumb said: "I have studied martial arts with Uncle Owen for five years. He taught me a lot."
The seven Xi Wen looked at each other in blank dismay, and couldn't help but gasp at the same time. An ordinary student of the Tiangang Sword Sect has practiced for five years and has good aptitude, but he can only reach the second rebirth art. Those who have practiced for ten years and reached the third stage like Liao Yi are already elites. But it was unbelievable to them that this silly-looking kid in front of him had only cultivated for five years and had reached the fifth stage. Everyone fell into silence, and they still couldn't understand how Owen did it. Could it be that this silly child is a once-in-a-century genius
