Mortal bone

Three months later.

early morning.

"For three whole months, your style of singing cicadas still hasn't reached the level of singing a hundred cicadas. This old man is really disappointed in you. If you don't improve next month, this old man won't try you again."

When Xu Taiping withdrew from the sword domain, the sword ghost in the sword domain let out a very dissatisfied roar.

"Got it, got it, see you next month."

Xu Taiping waved his hand weakly at the sword ghost.

This is the fifth month since he came back from Yunmengze, and it is also the fourth time he has come out of the sword realm alive.

Although it was the same as three months ago, there was no place in his whole body that was not in pain, and his body and soul were on the verge of collapse.

But compared to two months ago, his current state can be described by the four words "be calm".

And the relationship between him and Dao Gui has undergone some subtle changes during these three months.

First of all, the sword ghost must still want him to die, but after seeing Duan Tianya's Demon Slaying Saber, he now very much wants to know the follow-up moves of the Demon Slaying Saber, so he is reluctant to let Xu Taiping die.

Wanting to kill Xu Taiping and escape from the seal is instinctive.

Wanting to see more moves of the Demon Slaying Saber is obsession.

Now that Xu Taiping is in the sword domain, he is being tortured while practicing the sword, which is the result of the instinct and obsession of the sword ghost.

"Keep the balance between the two, and you will survive."

This is the conclusion that Xu Taiping has come to in the past few months.

In order to do this, he would always hide something every time he practiced swords with Dao Ghost, so as to arouse Dao Ghost's interest the next time he entered the sword domain, so that he would not torture himself to death as soon as he came up.

Like this time.

"Old ghost, a hundred cicadas sing together, in fact, I have mastered it."

Xu Taiping spread out the palm of his left hand, and grinned at the ghost sealing talisman that appeared.

Immediately, he pulled out the spring tiger from his waist with a "chuss", and held the knife with both hands while standing on the ground with one foot.

"Know, know!—"

The ear-piercing sound of cicadas suddenly exploded.

This scene was like the scene where Xia Ye suddenly sang in unison when Xia Ye passed by the forest.

"boom!……"

Amidst the chirping of cicadas, a violent killing intent suddenly surged out from the ghost sealing talisman in Xu Taiping's palm.

Seeing this, Xu Taiping smiled happily.

He seemed to be able to hear the roaring and cursing of the sword ghost inside the ghost sealing talisman.

"Old ghost, don't worry, next time we meet again, I will definitely let you try my style of singing with a hundred cicadas."

After saying this, he squeezed his palm hard, and the murderous aura overflowing from his palm disappeared.

Today, he is more proficient in mastering the ghost sealing talisman.

As long as it is not a full moon night, he has been able to completely seal the breath in the ghost sealing talisman.

Of course, the price is accelerated blood loss.

As for defeating Sword Demon, he had long since given up.

He has only practiced knives for three or four years, how can he compare with a monster who has practiced knives for hundreds or even thousands of years.

What's more, this monster's brain is still a little abnormal.

After these two encounters, he found that the knife ghost seemed to be awake, but in fact he was still in a state of chaos.

Everything he thinks must be stimulated by the outside world.

For example, when he entered the sword domain for the second time, if he hadn't brought Duan Tianya's breath with him, the sword ghost would never have thought of Duan Tianya's two sword intents at all.

This is also the reason why he just used Hundred Cicadas to stimulate the sword ghost.

"Hiss..."

After moving his body to the edge of the table with difficulty, Xu Taiping couldn't help but gasped in pain.

Tonight in the sword field, because he deliberately hid the singing of the cicadas, he only hurt the sword ghost three times, and then he was tortured by the sword ghost all night.

"Gollon!..."

He skillfully unpacked a pack of Bazhen Powder, took out a Qi-Shou Pill and a Qi-Increasing Pill, and drank the diluted gentian wine in one gulp.

Being able to persist with Dao Gui for so long is due to the contribution of these pills.

Without them, he probably wouldn't be able to make it to the sword domain for the second time, let alone have the opportunity to tease the sword ghost like today.

"But it's also thanks to the sword ghost, otherwise it would have taken three or four years of effort to make a hundred cicadas sing in unison."

Looking back at the scenes of practicing swords in the past few months, Xu Taiping felt a little emotional.

In the past three months, apart from going to Yueyue Lake to practice swords every day, he has spent most of his time on the Demon Slaying Knife, which can no longer be called hard work, but rather hard work. up.

But there is no way, the sword ghost chased after him and slashed at his ass. Once the sword technique is not refined, he will suffer the pain of skinning and delaying when he enters the sword domain next month.

Once or twice is okay, so many times in a row, no one can bear it.

"Calculating the time, sister Lingyue should wake up within a few days, right?"

After recovering a bit, Xu Taiping put down the wine gourd and muttered in a low voice.

According to the explanation in that letter, Fairy Lingyue should be asleep for half a year this time, so if she can wake up, it should be within a day or two.

Although he now has a way to deal with the sword ghost, this way is not a long-term solution after all.

After all, no matter how hard he worked, he couldn't make progress in the Demon Slaying Saber every month.

Especially after the move of Hundred Cicadas Crying Together, if he wants to continue to stimulate the sword ghost, he can only practice new moves, but new moves can't be mastered in a month or two.

So he still had to ask Sister Lingyue for advice on how to further seal the sword ghost, at least so that the full moon nights would not come so frequently.

Once every six months is fine.

In addition, he still has many things he wants to ask Fairy Lingyue about the ruins of the Immortal Mansion in Taixuanmen, and he has been holding back in his heart for a long time.

Of course, aside from these, he himself misses Sister Lingyue a little.

"I hope that the injury didn't affect Sister Lingyue. As long as I'm fine, it doesn't matter if I come out late. I can last at least another half a year."

After replenishing the lost energy and blood, Xu Taiping stretched and stood up.

After washing up, he still has to go to Yueyuetan to practice his sword.

"I'm really going to hurt sister Lingyue, that old ghost, you and I are really immortal."

Thinking of this, Xu Taiping's eyes rarely revealed a strong killing intent.

"Peace."

Before Xu Taiping put down his outstretched hand, a familiar voice suddenly came from the direction of Qiyuexuan's courtyard.

Hearing this voice, Xu Taiping was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled happily.

"Sister Lingyue!"

After quickly answering, he didn't bother to wash up, opened the door and rushed towards the courtyard of Qiyuexuan.
