Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Even the yin body, which is comparable to the innate third-grade Luminous Sun Realm, can't bear it a bit.

But it can't be blamed on Qianjian Lake.

Because the yin body is formed by the condensed soul, every perception is more than ten times clearer than the flesh and blood body.

In other words, Jiang Qingyu's yin body is suffering more than ten times more than ordinary people at this time!

"Really..."

"It's a nostalgic feeling."

The bone-piercing cold made Jiang Qingyu think of the time when he broke through Yangyou, when his yin body was exposed to sunlight for the first time, his whole body melted like white snow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his skin and flesh were burned into fly ash. There are many bones left...

That time, he experienced what is called hell on earth.

Compared to back then, the coldness now is nothing.

"Adjust it first."

Jiang Qingyu didn't rush to sink to the bottom of the lake to find the sword energy, but adjusted her state first, allowing her Yin body to gradually adapt to the icy environment.

At the same time, he looked around.

It was pitch black under the water of the lake, and you couldn't see your fingers, but it was no different from the daytime in front of Yinshen, who was used to night swimming.

You can see different kinds of fish wandering in the water looking for food, not affected by the severe cold, but occasionally a fish that is unresponsive accidentally hits its head on the reef while chasing shrimp, and lies down on the ground in a daze. In the water, he remained motionless, as if he had lost half his life.

I don't know how the fish survived in the murderous Qianjian Lake, and I have to sigh the tenacity of life.

But there is one thing that is very strange, all the fish Jiang Qingyu saw were not big in size, and the largest one was no more than three feet long, which seemed a bit insufficient compared to the size of Qianjian Lake.

"Every year, the old housekeeper will order people to put fish fry into the lake. I remember that there are several kinds of fish that have no natural enemies here. When they grow up, they are seven or eight feet long..."

"Oh, maybe I'm thinking too much."

"Qianjian Lake is so big, it's not surprising that we won't see any big fish for a while."

"Let's find the sword energy first, and practice the "Yu Family Sword Classic" is the real thing."

After getting used to the environment a bit, Jiang Qingyu put aside her miscellaneous thoughts and began to dive wholeheartedly.

……

Qianjian Lake is about twenty feet deep.

Less than half a stick of incense later, Jiang Qingyu reached the bottom of the lake.

The moment his feet touched the bottom of the lake, he seemed to hear countless sharp swords groaning softly in his ears, and there was a tingling pain from the soles of his feet.

"The sound of sword chant came from the front left."

Jiang Qingyu searched along the direction of the voice, and soon came to the place where the Thousand Swords existed——

It was an unfathomable underwater abyss.

There should have been continuous lake water pouring into the abyss, forming a huge vortex, tearing all creatures within a few hundred feet to pieces!

But now there are a thousand famous swords stuck in the mouth of the abyss.

They formed a strange formation, releasing tens of thousands of sword qi at every moment, constantly slashing towards all directions, preventing the influx of water.

As a result, the lake hovered above the abyss, unable to advance an inch.

And at the entrance of the cave below, thousands of swords buzzed, and the sword energy raged, smashing everything.

"What is under the abyss?"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Qingyu inevitably had many questions in her heart:

"Before, I couldn't guess what price Master paid for coming to the palace to borrow books for three years. Now it seems that this sword array arranged on the abyss is the price."

"What is the function of the sword formation?"

"Suppress evil?"

Jiang Qingyu suddenly had the urge to dive into the abyss to find out.

But reason stopped him.

If there really was something evil under the abyss that even King Jubei, who was born in the third grade Luminous Sun Realm, couldn't deal with, then his current yin body certainly couldn't do much either.

On the contrary, it may cause a change in the sword array and cause disaster.

"In the inheritance, Master didn't mention anything about the abyss to me."

"but……"

"With Erniang's character, she actually evacuated the entire Sutra Pavilion and dare not to think about the thousands of famous swords in Qianjian Lake. I'm sure she must know something!"

Jiang Qingyu decided to seriously investigate this matter after returning home.

As for now, it is natural to do the right thing.

"It's time to start."

Jiang Qingyu calmed down and put aside distracting thoughts.

He condensed water into ice first, made an ice sword, and then walked to a place less than ten feet away from the entrance of the abyss, holding the sword in both hands, and practiced the sword recorded in "Basic Sword Moves of the Chu State Army, Compulsory One" repeatedly trick.

Chop, cut, stab, pick...

Each style is a simple and effective killing technique.

……

An hour later.

Jiang Qingyu, who had a better understanding of "Basic Sword Moves of the Chu State Army, Compulsory One", took a few steps forward and stabbed the ice sword in his hand into the sword array!

Swish-

Immediately, the Thousand-Mouth Famous Sword buzzed, and tens of thousands of sword qi surged in like a tide, drowning the ice sword instantly.

However, the ice sword was not shattered by the sword energy immediately.

Because it has the aura of "Basic Sword Moves of the Chu State Army", it has been regarded as the same kind guarding the abyss by thousands of masterless famous swords!

But at the same time, there was also a sword that discovered the counterfeit.

It was a standard long sword of the Chu State Army ten years ago. There were 120 four notches on the hilt, which represented that the owner of the sword had killed 120 four enemies on the battlefield with this sword!

Every sword in Qianjian Lake represents the pinnacle of a kind of swordsmanship, and it is the pinnacle of "Basic Sword Skills of the Chu State Army"!

At this moment, the sword blew endlessly, and it did not hesitate to consume the essence of the sword to slash out seemingly mediocre sword energy. It aimed at the ice sword and slashed violently, as if trying to prove that the opponent was an outsider!

And the tens of thousands of sword qi enveloping the ice sword also retreated one after another, making way for it.

If the ice sword can beat the standard long sword, then it is qualified to replace the standard long sword and stay in the sword array to guard the abyss.

On the contrary, it is not suitable for entering the sword array.

This is the rule set by the old sword master Yu Yi.

"coming."

Jiang Qingyu counted, this sword cut out a total of 120 four sword qi, and the power of each is roughly around the seventh rank of Houtian.

The sword skill of the third rank of Houtian cut out the sword energy of the seventh rank of Houtian, which shows that the original owner of this sword must have a good cultivation base.

He vaguely remembered that it was a bearded swordsman with unusually thick palms. He heard that he was a middle-level general in the Anbei Protectorate. A wife who warms the quilt doesn't ask for it.

On that day, the old sword master defeated him with the basic sword move that he was most proud of.

Jiang Qingyu hid on the willow tree and saw the man throwing down the sword he regarded as his life, but there was no reluctance on his face, but a trace of relief.

Then, the middle-aged man snorted coldly at the old sword master, walked out of the palace, and muttered as he walked:

"Let's go, marry a woman, don't play with swords."

……

Swish-

Hundreds of sword qi made no secret of their hostility, roaring to Bingjian.

But just when they were about to collide with the ice sword, the ice sword suddenly shattered on its own.

The next moment, Jiang Qingyu stretched out a hand into the sword formation.

Hundreds of sword qi had no time to react, so they stabbed straight into his hand.

"one two three four……"

No more, no less, exactly 120 four.

Jiang Qingyu, who had finished drawing sword energy into the Yin body, immediately retreated and went upstream to the lake.

When he was leaving, he glanced back at the sword array, just in time to see that the standard long sword that vented its origin had become dim.

He couldn't help but sigh:

"I don't know what kind of wife that general married, and whether his children like to play swords..."

Chapter 20 A night of penance, the day after tomorrow

Practicing "Yu's Sword Classic", drawing sword energy into the Yin body is only the first step.

The second step is to wait until the yin body and the physical body are combined into one, and the sword energy is successfully transformed into pure spiritual power, then you can start to wash the scriptures and cut the marrow, and enter the acquired state.

The second step is much more dangerous than the first.

Ziyan Courtyard.

After getting the sword energy, Jiang Qingyu's Yin body immediately rushed back to the girl Xiaoman's room.

It was Yin time, the eldest maid, Lichun, had already taken off her luxurious red dress, removed her make-up, and went to bed.

The little girl, Xiaoman, doesn't come home at night, and she doesn't know where to play in the king's city.

Several secret guards of the palace hid in various places, staring at the room where Jiang Qingyu was, dedicated to their duties, and never let up, not even allowing a single mosquito to enter.

Jiang Qingyu saw that there was nothing abnormal in the courtyard, so she easily avoided everyone's sight with her yin body, walked through the door recklessly, and merged with the physical body on the bed.

Suddenly, the body lying on the bed opened its eyes.

Jiang Qingyu woke up from the dream.

He raised his right hand and saw 120 four star points on the palm, which represented that the 120 four sword qi had been sealed in the body, ready to start the next step at any time.

It is also an extremely dangerous step!

Jiang Qingyu is an extremely decisive person. After adjusting her breathing a little, she pointed a finger on one of the star points according to the method recorded in "Yu's Sword Classic":

"break!"

He shouted in his heart.

In an instant, the star point dissipated and turned into a red star beam piercing the meridian from the palm.

The meridians of the human body are very important parts, and a little carelessness will cause disability or even death. This is also the danger of practicing "Yu's Sword Classic".

Although the old Juggernaut said, after using his method to introduce the sword qi into the yin, the sword qi will generally not conflict with the body.

But no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents.

At this time, the doors and windows in the room were closed tightly, and not even the slightest wind could be heard.

Jiang Qingyu's eyes were fixed on the red starlight, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Fortunately, nothing worrying happened.

The red star is like a spiritual pet. While piercing through the meridians with brute force, it also protects the meridians from being torn apart with the pure spiritual power hidden in the sword energy.

The strands of pure spiritual power flowed along the meridians in Jiang Qingyu's body like a gurgling stream, continuously strengthening his flesh, skin, bones, internal organs in a silent way...

Although it is not obvious, it is comprehensive and there is no danger.

"The "Yu Clan's Sword Classic" is so magical?"

Jiang Qingyu couldn't believe it:

"Ordinary people practice the Houtian realm, starting with strengthening the skin and flesh, then tempering the limbs, sublimating the five internal organs, step by step in order. As for the difficult-to-cultivate positions such as the head, six internal organs, and meridians, they start to practice after reaching the tenth grade of Houtian. "

"However, the "Yu Clan's Sword Classic" is in no particular order, and at the same time, the whole body is tempered one time at a time!"
