Castlevania.
A burst of extremely heroic laughter rang out over the Demon Castle. The sound was so loud that even Xiao Sheng, who was hiding in his own courtyard reading a book, was startled. He closed the book and looked up at the sky: "He succeeded?"
Ling Ran, who was standing next to Xiao Sheng and eating an apple, was also startled by the laughter and her teeth knocked. She said unhappily, "Since this kid came to Demon City, there has not been a single day of peace."
"It seems that he caught the city lord's knife." Xiao Sheng said quietly.
Ling Ran took a bite of the apple and said, "Boss Xiao, how long did it take you to catch the city lord's sword?"
"When I met the city lord, I was already thirty years old. I could barely take a blow from the knife, and only just managed to escape death. I remember that several bones in my body were broken and I couldn't even stand steadily. It's impossible for me to laugh as heartily as he does." Xiao Sheng said with a smile.
Ling Ran stretched and said, "Well, this boy is really amazing."
And the Guixiangfang in the Demon City three streets away was already a ruin. Feng Zuojun, holding the sharp long sword, fell from the air to the ground. He carried the long sword on his shoulder and wiped his nose: "How is it? Lord Mo, my move just now was not bad, right?"
Mo Wen walked out of the ruins, dusted himself off, and sighed softly: "Write a letter to your father."
"What? Do you want me to inherit the position of the Lord of Demon City? No, I still have to go back to Tianxiaoyun Realm in the future, and my father will not agree." Feng Zuojun shook his head.
"No, ask your father for some silver." Mo Wen waved the golden knife in his hand gently, "It will take a lot of silver to rebuild these houses."
"Huh?" Feng Zuojun scratched his head, "City Lord, do you still care about this?"
"Of course I care." Mo Wen said angrily, "I am the lord of a city and I need to be responsible for the operation of the entire Demon City. Do you think that I only need to play with the knife every day and this Demon City can last for a hundred years?"
"Okay, okay. As for silver, we in Tianxiaoyun Realm never lack it." Feng Zuojun said with a smile, "How much do you want, City Lord?"
"One thousand taels." Mo Wen sneered.
Feng Zuojun was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "A few houses like this, and you want one thousand taels of silver? The city lord is really asking for too much. But it doesn't matter, I'll give it to you!"
Mo Wen stretched out a finger and waved it gently: "It's one thousand taels of gold."
Feng Zuojun was so shocked that his mouth opened wide: "City Lord, you are going too far. With one thousand taels of silver, I can rebuild your entire street."
"Don't you have to pay tuition to learn my world-class sword technique?" Mo Wen shouted angrily, "Do you still want to learn the rest of the sword technique?"
Feng Zuojun's mouth twitched slightly, and then he raised a thumb: "The city lord is powerful, no wonder this demon city has been able to last for so long. Okay, one thousand taels of gold! I'll ask my father to send someone to deliver it immediately!"
"That's great." Mo Wen said with a smile, "Today, you caught my sword, so you have passed the first stage of the test. Next, we will enter the second stage."
Feng Zuojun said solemnly: "Just listen to the details."
Mo Wen stuck the golden knife in his hand into the ground: "You need to return the knife to me."
"Hmm?" Feng Zuojun frowned slightly.
"Your swordsmanship is so fast that you want to strike more than a dozen times in a short time. I understand that you want to suppress others with your speed and momentum, but when you meet a true master, sometimes a duel only requires one sword. So you have to return one blow to me, just one blow." Mo Wen stretched out a finger and pointed at the golden sword in front of him, "When your sword can force me to return one blow to you, then you will start to truly learn my swordsmanship."
"Why not do it now?" Feng Zuojun didn't hesitate and swung a knife directly at Mo Wen.
But Mo Wen, who was standing there, suddenly disappeared. Feng Zuojun felt a chill on his back, and one of Mo Wen's fingers was already on his back.
"I told you, you need to think carefully about this strike." Mo Wen said with a smile, "It's not just a strike. This strike contains all your understanding of the sword in the past twenty years. Don't underestimate this strike."
"City Lord, please show mercy." Feng Zuojun swallowed.
"Dream on." Mo Wen flicked his fingers lightly and directly knocked Feng Zuojun away.
Mount Qingcheng.
Xie Yuling's clothes were covered in mud. He was now on a cliff, holding a stone with one hand and looking up.
"Finally found it." Xie Yuling took a long breath and smelled a faint floral scent.
In the crevice of the cliff, there is a small white flower swaying gently in the wind. It is hard to imagine that in such a desperate place, there can be a flower that looks so fragile.
"That flower is the Dragon Python Flower." Mo Chen, who was standing below, shouted loudly.
Xie Yuling gritted his teeth, grabbed the stone, and flipped up again. He rose another ten feet, but the flower in the crevice also rose another ten feet, still at a distance from him.
"What's going on?" Xie Yuling asked in confusion, "Why can this flower move by itself?"
"The fragrance of the dragon python flower can cause hallucinations." Mo Chen reminded from below, "Senior Brother Xie, don't be fooled."
"Illusion?" Xie Yuling was stunned. Could it be that he could not get the flower even though he was looking at it right in front of him? Anger suddenly rose in his heart. During this period of time, he had been running up and down the mountain every day but found nothing. Now he finally found the flower, but encountered an illusion again. He made up his mind and kept going up and up. Could this illusion make this cliff endless
After making up his mind, Xie Yuling leaped forward in one go. At first, the dragon python flower was still moving upwards, but suddenly, Xie Yuling seemed to have broken through a fog, and the dragon python flower appeared directly in front of him.
The flower was pure white, but the shape of the petals was very strange, like a dragon or a python, something Xie Yuling had never seen before. With a wave of his hand, Xie Yuling pulled out the dragon python flower along with the muddy water below, and after catching the dragon python flower, he jumped down from the cliff.
"Finally found it!" Xie Yuling cursed.
Mo Chen was stunned: "Brother Xie, why are you swearing?"
Xie Yuling looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I've been feeling too frustrated these past few days, and I couldn't help blurting it out."
Mo Chen smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad, I understand Master's intention a little bit now."
"What is Lord Daojun's intention?" Xie Yuling was puzzled.
"He hopes that you can relax a little. According to what we Taoists say, this means returning to your true self." Mo Chen pointed to his heart.
