Chapter 243 Ying Juexiao (Third update)
In the evening, in the Emerald Valley.
Shi Xuan sat cross-legged by the calm, calm, green emerald lake, watching the seven outer disciples in front of him practicing the sword formation. After a whole day of practice, they were finally able to bring out the feeling of cooperation this morning. Although there are still many shortcomings, it can be regarded as a preliminary mastery of the Canglong Qisu Formation.
Strangely enough, Shi Xuan thought that the monks from the Luofu Sect who were good at swords would decide on a candidate to come to him for a discussion today, and he also thought that Ning Wuque would find someone to come to provoke him today. As a result, until the evening, except for delivering lunch, Except for the disciples at dinner, I have never seen a monk come to the door.
Just as Shi Xuan was thinking this, two rays of crystal white light flew from a distance and landed outside the Emerald Valley. A mellow voice sounded: "Is Fellow Taoist Shi here? Guanghan Sect Gong Xujing is here to visit."
Because he was shadowed by Yan Qianying back then, Shi Xuan didn't have a very good impression of Guanghan Sect. However, Gong Xujing was a good person and he had some friendship with him. In addition, Penglai Sect and Guanghan Sect had been friends for thousands of years. In the sect, Meng Nichang, who helped Jiang Zhenren back then, was the senior Zhenren of the Guanghan Sect. Later, I heard from Zhenren Jiang that she had survived three heavenly tribulations, so Shi Xuan would definitely not turn Gong Xujing away.
"Fellow Daoist Gong is here, and Shi is here to welcome you." Shi Xuan said loudly, indicating to Ren Shuiyao and the others that they could stop, and at the same time, he led Luo Banshan and Tang Youqiu towards the entrance of the valley.
Gong Xujing looked a little more mature than before, as if he was in his thirties, and standing next to him was a young girl with a delicate appearance but as cold as ice. Just seeing her, Shi Xuan looked like I saw a ten-thousand-year-old ice crystal.
Seeing Shi Xuan come out, Gong Xujing clasped his hands and said, "We haven't seen each other for more than fifty years. Fellow Taoist Shi is still as charming as ever, but Gong has grown a few years older." He must have been wandering around the perfection of the soul for nearly a hundred years.
"Where did Fellow Daoist Gong say that? Shi thought that Fellow Daoist Gong was more advanced in cultivation. I wonder who this is?" Shi Xuan asked about the cold, silent girl in white.
"Gong was a little excited when he saw his old friend and forgot to introduce him." Gong Xujing apologized, then pointed at the girl in white gauze with some awe and said, "Fellow Taoist Shi, this is the founder of Yi Zhi Lou of our gate. Lou. Patriarch, this is Taoist Master Shi Xuan of Penglai Sect Tianji Peak."
When Gong Xujing mentioned Lou Yizhi's name, Shi Xuan immediately remembered this happy event that had been rumored to the upper echelons of several sects a few years ago. When Lou Yizhi achieved top rank, the other sects who came to congratulate him looked at it strangely. The soul-stage monks of the Guanghan Sect and other Jindan masters all call her the Patriarch.
Later, they were puzzled and asked an acquaintance of the monks, and they found out that it was because Meng Nichang had only produced a high-grade golden elixir master like Yan Qianying in the sect within a hundred or two hundred years, not to mention the Penglai sect and the Nether Sect. Even the Yaowang Sect and others were better than them, so when they met Lou Yizhi, a little girl with outstanding talent, he was tempted to accept her as his disciple. In this way, Lou Yi Her seniority level suddenly increased by several generations, and even Yan Qianying would respectfully call her "ancestor" when he saw her.
However, Lou Yizhi is indeed extraordinary in his practice. He left his body at the age of thirteen, channeled his energy in eight years, developed his soul in twenty-three years, perfected his soul in twenty-nine years, and achieved the top-grade golden elixir in thirty-eight years. Meng Nichang personally trained him. Fan. This also shows from the side that even if a sect suppressed by Zhenren Yuanshen does not produce a top-grade golden elixir master for several generations and begins to decline in the eyes of outsiders, it is actually not a big deal. For example, in the past few decades, the Yaowang Sect has , Tianhuo Sect, Blood Demon Sect, and Guanghan Sect all released one or two high-grade golden elixirs one after another, and they immediately returned to the same level as the other four sects.
The reason why I say it is a joy is because after these high-level monks from the sect came back, they often talked about it and imagined that the monks in Guanghan Sect who were one or two hundred years old wanted to call a teenage girl who was in the out-of-body stage as the ancestor. , all overjoyed.
"It turns out it's Senior Lou. Junior Shi Xuan is rude." Although the seniority of Guanghan Sect has nothing to do with the Penglai Sect, in terms of cultivation, Lou Yizhi can make Shi Xuan call him Senior.
Lou Yizhi nodded coldly: "Yes." His voice was like ice beads falling on a jade plate. If Shi Xuan had not heard that she was an expressionless and taciturn monk, he would have thought that she was here to cause trouble. Moreover, Shi Xuan suddenly understood why Yan Qianying sent Lou Yizhi as the sect representative. We must add Gong Xujing, a spiritual monk with long sleeves and good dancing. At this time, Gong Xujing smiled slightly awkwardly and used his spiritual consciousness to communicate with Shi Xuan: "Master Lou has always been like this, fellow Taoist Shi, don't be surprised."
Shi Xuan replied in his spiritual consciousness: "Shi has heard about it a long time ago. Fellow Taoist Gong doesn't need to explain." Moreover, Lou Yizhi is somewhat similar to his master. They are both expressionless people, and Shi Xuan is used to it. However, Shi Xuan suddenly thought about how Lou Yizhi would behave indifferently if he met his master.
The two of them were invited into the valley. Several outer disciples and the servants of the Luofu Sect had already set up a wooden table and three small stools, with teacups and other items placed on them.
"Okay, you can go down and rest." Shi Xuan ordered Jiang Nianqiao and others. They were so surprised that they almost cheered. They were exhausted from the day's practice and wanted to lie down and take a nap right away.
"It was also because of the bustle of the Luofu Sect that we found out that fellow Daoist Shi was here on behalf of your sect, so we came to make some noise." Gong Xu sat down quietly and spoke with a smile.
Shi Xuan didn't go out today, so he slightly raised his lips: "Oh, I wonder what the excitement is about?"
Gong Xujing said with a smile: "Because Taoist Master Shi only accepted the challenge from one monk, the swordsmanship masters of the Luofu Sect started fighting among themselves, trying to compete for the upper hand. And for this kind of thing, those Luofu Sect who are fanatical about swordsmanship How could the disciples let it go, so there are three floors inside and three floors outside the fighting stage, which is blocked by water. "
Only then did Shi Xuan understand why no monks from the Luofu Sect came to the door today. It turned out to be an internal fight within his own family: "Then is there a winner now?"
"The Galaxy Sword Ying Juexiao narrowly defeated the Silver Silk Sword Hu Yunsong with half a move. I'm afraid he will come to discuss with you, Taoist Master Shi, tomorrow." Gong Xujing seemed to have come over after watching the fight between the Luofu Sect, and at the same time he said solemnly He said, "Ying Juexiao is a master of the Soul Stage for many years. He also practiced the peerless swordsmanship of Sword Qi Leiyin more than ten years ago. Fellow Taoist Shi, you must not be careless."
Shi Xuan smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood. Except for the newly emerged Hu Yunsong, the general information of several swordsmanship masters of the Luofu Sect is available in the Penglai Sect. As a sect that is fanatical about swordsmanship, In the past hundred years, the Luofu Sect has had several masters who have mastered sword energy and thunder sound in the spirit stage, such as Qiao Mubai, a mad swordsman who has already reached the top-grade golden elixir, and Ying Juexiao is one of them, and the other one is also In the soul stage, it was Ruyun Sword Jin Yushi who also mastered the sword energy and thunder sound.
Gong Xujing knew that Shi Xuan was not the kind of person to take care of others, so after saying something, he mentioned something else: "When Gong was watching the competition just now, he saw Ning Wuque. Fellow Daoist Shi, please be careful. He is extremely crazy. , We may not necessarily take into account the tacit understanding among the major sects that high-level monks generally do not take action against low-level monks. Otherwise, after the Golden Elixir Ceremony, Fellow Daoist Shi will set out with us to Tianyang City, and Ning Wuque will not do it when Patriarch Lou is there. Dare to take action." Lou Yizhi didn't say a word since he came in, sitting there like an ice sculpture. Even when Gong Xujing mentioned her, she didn't say anything.
"Shi was a little worried, so he decided to go alone, but since Fellow Daoist Gong mentioned it, I wonder if I can invite Senior Lou..." Shi Xuan used his spiritual consciousness to talk to the two of them, and then Lou Yizhi got rid of the ice sculpture and frowned slightly. nodded.
After the plan was completed, Gong Xujing solemnly told a certain secret: "I heard that Ning Wuque met the Blood Demon Sect's number one true disciple, Xue Mozi, in a cave in the Western Wilderness. The two had long wanted to kill each other. So in the Western Wilderness where there were no sect disciplines, after a great battle, Ning Wuque devoured the Blood Demon Son and achieved the top-grade golden elixir. "The Blood Demon Son can take the name of the Blood Demon Sect, so one can imagine his interest in it. own confidence.
"So Ning Wuque is crazy, but his strength is not fake." Shi Xuan said slowly after taking a sip of tea.
After chatting for a while, Gong Xujing suddenly mentioned: "Back then, fellow Daoist Shi wanted to get the Wanzai Ice Soul Heart, but he failed. I wonder if he still wants it now? Gong has some leftovers from his recent practice."
Shi Xuan said lightly: "Thank you Gong Daoyou for your kindness, Shi has already found a piece." In fact, Shi Xuan wanted to give Yan Qianying a letter to anger her, and wrote: I am not talented, and I have not been able to find a way to suppress the inner demons. I only found the secret treasure of one reincarnation for the magic weapon, so I didn’t dare to exchange it for the Wanzai Ice Soul Heart. But this not only made me look stingy, but also revealed the secret of my reincarnation treasure, so I gave up.
Before Gong Xujing had time to answer, a misty clear light fell from the sky: "Ying Juexiao of the Luofu sect asks to see fellow Taoist Shi Xuanshi of the Penglai sect."
The corner of Shi Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he gave Gong Xujing a wry smile. He thought he would come tomorrow, but he didn't expect that not long after the competition over there, he would come here. How fanatical are these guys from the Luofu Sword Sect about swordsmanship.
Ying Juexiao from Taniguchi is a middle-aged monk in his forties, with an ancient appearance. He wears a short brown linen robe with a straw rope tied around his waist. His feet are bare. He looks like a hermit from the world. However, Shi Xuan was a little puzzled as to why so many monks were dressing up in strange ways, while he still preferred comfortable and ordinary robes.
Seeing Shi Xuan come out, Ying Juexiao showed a smile: "I am a poor Taoist, Ying Juexiao, I practice the "Piaomiao Song Jue" and the "Zhu Xing Sword Jue" I got by chance. I also ask fellow Taoist Shi for advice." He spoke simply and honestly. ,direct.
Since Shi Xuan has made a promise, he will no longer push back and say: "Then please ask fellow Taoist Ying to lead the way."
