I practice ruthless way

"Little Phoenix, you're lying to me." Yan Wushu tightened his hands around Xiao Man's waist, lowered his head, resting his forehead on the back of his neck, and said in a low voice.

When Xiao Man said those words, his tone was indifferent and decisive, and the light flickering in his eyes was cold, he was almost deceived.

How could Xiao Man not like him?The opportunity that is involved in the hearts of the two is the best proof. It is an opportunity that can only be born with people who share the same mind.

The opportunity was like a spider's thread, a thin strand, light and tough, itching slightly as it brushed across my heart, it never disappeared for a moment.

If they don't like it, how can their bond be so deep?

If you don't like it, if you really want to cut off this marriage, why did you come to rescue him alone when he was in danger?If he dies, the fate will inevitably dissipate.

So Xiao Man liked him, it must be something he did not do well, did not do right, which made Xiao Man feel bored, and made Xiao Man say "I don't like him enough".

He will change it until Xiao Man is satisfied.

"Little Phoenix, I was wrong for not telling you that I like you earlier." Yan Wushu said again.

The voice is very soft, as light as the moonlight falling on the water.

The two stood between the clumps of lotus leaves, the night soaked the greenery deeply, and the moonlight was bright, reflecting the clear waves in the water, and the fish were waving their tails leisurely.

Xiao Mansu's white clothes were blown up by the wind.Hearing Yan Wushu's words, he turned around, backed away, and left his arms. His gaze went from bottom to top, fixed on the man's eyes, and his tone was flat: "Mr. Ling Guang doesn't have to be like this."

Then he said: "I will enter the secret realm tomorrow, I will go to rest and say goodbye."

He didn't give Yan Wushu any room to refuse for a moment, and when the words fell to the ground, they turned into a stream of light and disappeared in front of him.

Yan Wushu stretched out his hand to grab it, but he didn't grab anything, only a gust of wind and a sliver of cool moonlight remained in his hand.He realized with disappointment that Xiao Man was no longer the boy he needed to protect.

In such a vast world, he can come and go freely.

There are many lakes and rivers in Guangling City, Xiao Man came to an unknown but quiet lake, found a stone and sat down, took out a book from the Qiankun Ring, but after a long time, he did not open it.

Xiao Man kept his eyes on the lake, and gradually, gradually, he raised his hand and put it on his heart.

That opportunity is still there, which shows that his ruthless way has not yet been completed.

Obviously, I have done everything according to my heart, and I have followed Master's words, and came to the world, but why can't I achieve consummation?

See the world of mortals, see the world of mortals, what kind of world of mortals do you want to see?

I can't figure it out, I can't understand it, I have a lot of thoughts, chaotic and entangled, it's hard to explain clearly.

A piece of light blue Taoist robe pierced the night lightly, someone came with a piano, stood at a distance from Xiao Manzhang, and said: "You seem to be restless."

Xiao Man raised his eyes and looked over, it was Biebeilou, with a smell of herbs on his body, probably just finished decoction for someone.Xiao Man has no mentality to greet greetings from unfamiliar people, and just glances over them.

Bie Beilou turned around, looked at the nearby lake, and said, "This lake is called Frost Lake. During the frost season, the surface of the lake will be covered with frost flowers, which is really beautiful."

The people behind were still silent.

"You don't seem to want to talk to me." Bie Beilou flicked his sleeves lightly, sat on the floor, put the long piano on his lap, and said, "Then I'll play the piano."

The piano sounded.

Different from the sound of killing and cutting in the arena, this sound is gentle, faint, and leisurely. It is a song of vastness and tranquility, singing about mountains, rivers, rivers, heaven, earth and the world.

The moonlight shining lightly on the lake is even more white, and the forest in the distance is green, and the waves overlap with each other under the wind.

Listening to it, I calmed down a lot.

After the song finished, Xiao Man finally had a reaction and asked, "What song is this?"

"I made it myself, without a name." Bie Beilou replied with his back turned to him.

Bie Beilou's sleeves fluttered in the wind, he was closer to the lake than Xiao Man, and the corners of his clothes fell to the lake, wet by the water, as if he didn't notice it.

Xiao Man glanced at the book in his hand, then raised his eyes to look at his back, and asked, "How long have you been practicing medicine in this world?"

"Can't remember." Bie Beilou replied.

That is many years.Xiao Man narrowed his eyes and asked again: "What do you think of this world of mortals?"

Bie Beilou was silent for a moment, after the silence, he raised his head and said: "The world is bitter, but the world of mortals is even more bitter."

After speaking, he shook his sleeves and continued to play the piano.

Xiao Man repeated these words in his heart, opened the book he had held in his hand for a long time, and read it by the moonlight.

Nothing to say all night.At the hour of the next day, all sects and sects gathered in front of Giant Spirit Mountain.

The sun is clear, the wind is blowing, and slowly, the fragrance of flowers is sent.But the atmosphere was not quiet, everyone was chatting about things, and the sound added together was noisier than the chirping of birds on the mountain.

It's all about the second trial of the Guangling Trial - the secret realm of Juling Mountain.

Xiao Man and the others are no exception.

They stood under the shade of a tree. Qu Hanxing took out a stack of papers and handed them out to everyone, saying: "This is the map of the secret land of Giant Spirit Mountain that I got at a high price. Where there are many monsters and where the level of monsters is high, there are all kinds of monsters." label."

"When we enter the secret realm, we should not be grouped together. See you later, we will be competitors. So this map, brother Qu, is my last care for you."

"How authentic is this map?" Xiao Man started to take a closer look, and found that the map was drawn in great detail. The places where monsters haunt and places for rest are clearly marked one by one, which is as real as it is fake.

"I got this from my fellow...senior." Qu Hanxing paused slightly in his words, so short that no one noticed, "Everyone is from Gushan. mutual pit?"

Talking and laughing, he stabbed Xiao Man's elbow, his eyes were filled with the meaning of "you understand".

Song Ci was very moved after seeing the map: "Brother Qu, although the purpose of entering the secret realm is to kill monsters, but it has not prohibited fighting between people. When I see you, I will definitely repay you."

"You want to throw a 'fist', right?" Qu Hanxing thumped Song Ci's arm.

The two wrestled together, their moves were extremely childish, like a three-year-old child.

At this time Yan Wushu came over, stood in front of Xiao Man, and hung a string of jade around his waist.

Xiao Man was dressed in plain white, with no decorations on his body. Yan Wushu specially picked out a string of jade pendants adorned with emeralds. The emerald jade was hung on his waist. The sun was clear, and finally his body was no longer pure.

Seeing Xiao Man like this, Yan Wushu laughed in satisfaction, and said to him: "It's for safety."

"Take it away." Xiao Man frowned, his voice low and cold.He really couldn't understand, why did this person still come over after he had spoken so clearly yesterday?

Like it, but not enough.Since it's not a deep-rooted relationship, if you are rejected or treated coldly, shouldn't you fly into a rage, turn your face and leave?

"Young Master Uncle will be successful in martial arts, but I also want to do my best." Yan Wushu didn't care about Xiao Man's indifferent attitude, he bent his eyes, flicked the folding fan lightly in his hand, caught it again, and spoke touchingly.

Xiao Man raised his eyes and stared at him: "You don't seem to listen."

Yan Wushu turned his head to look at the sun in the sky, pretending not to hear it.

Those who gathered here were all Guiyuan Realm disciples who participated in the Guangling Examination this time. Yan Wushu appeared, and they all cast their eyes over.

Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, Xiao Manruo took off the jade pendant and returned it to Yan Wushu, in order to save Yan Wushu's face, it is very easy to attract people's suspicion and inquiry, so he didn't act like that.

As for Yan Wushu, he was sure that Xiao Man would not reject him in front of outsiders, or throw his face at him, and there was a bit of unscrupulousness in his smile.

Qu Hanxing and Song Ci stopped fighting.

Yesterday he was awakened by Qu Hanxing's words, seeing Yan Wushu goodbye, especially seeing Yan Wushu talking to Xiao Man, Song Ci's expression was very complicated.

He was a little bit disappointed that such a fairy-like figure as his junior master and uncle would want to marry him, and he was really disappointed; but he was also very relieved, looking at the entire lonely mountain, the generation of the peak masters either had gray hair or were already dead. With the same nationality, Yan Wushu is the youngest among them, and even the youngest and most promising. He is the best choice to match Xiao Man.

The appearance is not bad, but compared with the stunning beauty in the world, it is slightly different.

Song Ci covered his heart and sighed.

Qu Hanxing leaned over, bowed his hands to his master flatteringly, then spread his hands, and said, "Master, don't you want me something?"

"I've given you the mantle of being a teacher, what more do you want?" Yan Wushu asked back with a snort.

"I don't have a sword yet!" Qu Hanxing said.

"Oh, by the way, sword." Yan Wushu nodded as if suddenly enlightened.

Under Qu Hanxing's expectant eyes, Yan Wushu grabbed a bundle of good swords from the Qiankun Ring and stuffed them into Xiao Man's arms.One of them was the silver-white long sword that he failed to send out at Xueyi Peak last time.

"Yesterday, you fought against Bie Beilou, and you must have used up all the iron swords you have saved over the years." Yan Wushu said with a smile, "A little heart, please accept it with a smile."

Xiao Man: "..."

Yan Wushu clearly did not want him to refuse, so he took three steps back after speaking, bowed, and drifted away.

"Master, you don't care about your apprentice anymore?" Qu Hanxing stretched out his hand towards Yan Wushu, unwilling to ask the question.

Yan Wushu naturally ignored him.

Xiao Man lowered his eyes, picked one out of the pile of "unfortunate things", stuffed it into Qu Hanxing's hand, and asked, "During the past ten years, he hasn't made a sword for you?" There was a hint of reproach in his words , even more puzzled.

Qu Hanxing thanked Xiao Man with a happy smile, and then replied: "Master said, I need to find my sword by myself—but before I came out this time, he wrote me a list of materials, and asked me to search for it in the secret realm. Will help me send it to Shuxing Pavilion, and let the swordsmiths there help build it."

Xiao Man gave a "hmm" to express his understanding.

"Little master uncle..." Song Ci walked over with trembling hands, eyes open, with a shocked expression.

"What's wrong with you?" Qu Hanxing didn't know why.

"I was shocked by Master Yan's magnanimity." Song Ci raised his hand slowly, and tentatively touched the sword Qu Hanxing held in his arms, "Let's just talk about yours, this appearance, this shape, exactly That Quexie sword that shocked the Jianghu back then!"

Then he turned around and looked at the bundle in Xiao Man's hand—it was a bundle in the true sense, with dozens of swords tied together by a lace and held in Xiao Man's hand.The scabbards have different colors, but they all refract the sunlight, emitting a dazzling brilliance and a biting cold air.

"And these, I won't talk about them one by one." Song Ci lowered his voice and looked around cautiously, "Little Master Uncle, put it away first, so as not to arouse jealousy."

"That's right!" Qu Hanxing just realized it.

He saw that at this time, a shadow fell on the heads of the crowd, and when they looked up, it was actually a huge rabbit standing on the clouds, blocking the sun.

Its fur is gray, and there is a carrot hanging around its neck. Its cultivation base is not too high, and it is in the middle of Taixuan.

"It's the Jingling from the secret realm of Giant Spirit Mountain." Xiao Man figured out what the rabbit was.

"Does it look like this?" Qu Hanxing was shocked.

Xiao Man shook his head: "Jingling doesn't have a fixed form, it can take shape freely."

After a while of commotion, people from all sects and sects were quiet at the same time, Yunshang Jingling swept everyone away, and got straight to the point:

"Everyone, I believe you all know the rules of the competition, but as the guardian of the secret realm and the supervisor of this competition, it is necessary to repeat the rules again."

"There are 130 people present, and I will divide you into 26 teams according to my rules. The secret realm of Giant Spirit Mountain will be open for three days, and the content of the competition is very simple - killing monsters.

If you kill a low-level monster, you will get one point; if you kill a middle-level monster, you will get three points; if you kill a high-level monster, you will get five points.At this time on the third day, the competition will be held, and the team with the highest score will be the leader. "

"But there is a flexible rule. If you can kill the 'General Geshu' sleeping at the bottom of the lake, no matter how many points the team has scored before, from the moment you kill it, you will be the leader of this secret realm."

"But so far, the people of General Geshu who went to challenge are all dead."

Speaking of the last sentence, it hummed softly, as if quite proud.

Jingling didn't give the people too much time to think, but saw a white mist rising from the foot of the mountain, covering the disciples from various sects who were about to go to the secret realm.

Its voice sounded again:

"Okay, from now on, start teleporting."

"Three...two...one! Formation!"

Huaguang passed by, and after a short while, everyone's scenes changed, and they all came to the sky, stepping on the clouds under their feet, and on the same cloud, there were several people they either knew or didn't know.

"This is the divided team?"

It took a while for someone to react, someone had already started exchanging names, and someone even exclaimed:

"Our team doesn't have a doctor?"

"What, both of you are Medicine Valley medical practitioners!"

It can be said that the clouds are in chaos, Xiao Man raised his eyes to look for his teammate, and saw a bright yellow robe occupying the entire field of vision.

"Brother Man!" Qu Hanxing was very excited, holding Xiao Man's shoulder and shaking, "Brother Man, I am with you, what a blessing!"

After getting excited, he turned around to recognize his teammates, and was surprised again: "Wait a minute, isn't this the little master of Medicine Valley?"

——The person standing diagonally across from Qingyi Changqin, who is it if not Biebeilou?

Xiao Man nodded slightly to Bie Beilou as a greeting.

"My God, my God, in this way, can I lie down and win!" Qu Hanxing was very happy.

The remaining two people looked at each other, stepped forward and said:

"Zhang Xiaozhao of the Beidou faction, repairing the array, returns to the Yuan Shangjing."

"Xuanmen Chen Ai, Fuxiu, returns to Yuan Middle Realm."

"I'm going down to Gushan Qu Hanxing, sword cultivator, the realm...return to the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty." Qu Hanxing scratched his head embarrassedly, and then pushed Xiao Man in front of him, "This is Gushan Xiaoman, I think you all know him by now." , I won’t introduce it.”

Biebeilou also came over: "Biebeilou, Medicine Valley, return to Yuanshangjing."

"Our team is well equipped." Qu Hanxing glanced around and said with a smile.

Jing Ling's voice sounded again in the sky: "The teams are assigned, please choose the landing place for each team."

Voices of discussion immediately sounded from the clouds.

Qu Hanxing took out the previously prepared map, unfolded it, and analyzed the other four people: "I thought about it last night, the low-level monsters are the most, and they are the best to kill, but the points are few, and you can kill them if you meet them. But it’s not worthwhile to make a special trip to find it.”

"Advanced monsters have high scores, but they are definitely not easy to deal with. The few of us are basically meeting each other for the first time. We have never cooperated before, and we need a certain period of adjustment. So I suggest that we go to this forest and kill some intermediate monsters. Get acquainted with it for a while, and then look for high-level ones."

Zhang Xiaozhao looked at the map carefully, then cast his gaze down the cloud, scanned for a week, and nodded at Qu Hanxing: "You Daoist Qu makes sense."

Chen Ai is also known as yes.

Qu Hanxing turned his face to Xiao Man and Bie Beilou: "Brother Man, fellow Taoist, what do you think?"

Xiao Man let out a "hmm" and said, "I will do as you say."

So it was settled, Qu Hanxing turned around to look, and wanted to lower the cloud, but didn't know how to do it: "How to make this cloud?"

"Probably go down against the wind by yourself." Zhang Xiaozhao said.

The people around all did as he said, jumping from the clouds, flying to the ground with the sword and the wind.Just as Qu Hanxing was about to respond, Bie Beilou raised his finger and ejected a burst of spiritual power, hitting somewhere.The next moment, Yun Duo slanted suddenly and rushed towards the forest that Qu Hanxing had mentioned.

"Brother Lou, you are amazing!" Qu Hanxing sighed in admiration, and immediately realized something was wrong, and asked embarrassedly, "Can I call you Brother Lou?"

"Fellow daoist, feel free." Biebei said.

Clouds descended swiftly.

They were not the first group of people to reach the ground. Fortunately, this dense forest was not occupied, and no one seemed to come, so there was no need to worry about competing for it in a short time.

The trees are towering, and the branches and leaves are as dense as a cover, completely covering the sky, and only occasionally can we see the rays of sunlight falling from the gaps.The ground was overgrown with weeds and knotted together with the raised tree roots, making the road extremely difficult.

Bie Beilou held the piano and walked in the front, Xiao Man followed behind, followed by Qu Hanxing, Zhang Xiaozhao and Chen Ai.

From the depths of the dense forest, the roar of monsters kept coming out, sometimes low and sometimes high, telling unspeakable restlessness and excitement, which made the expressions of the group change slightly.

The Giant Spirit Mountain Secret Realm does not guarantee the safety of the fighters from all sects and factions.Practitioners are here to hunt and kill monsters and conduct competitions. For the residents of this place, these practitioners with cultivation bases are not a feast?

Bie Beilou slowed down and twirled the strings with his fingers.Chen Ai, who was at the end of the team, threw out several talisman papers with his backhand, suspended in the void, and moved forward slowly with the speed of everyone.

Qu Hanxing grasped the hilt of the evil sword tightly, lowered his ears and raised his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Here we come."

When the words fell to the ground, Xiao Man and Bie Beilou shot at the same time, and the sound of Jian Guangqin was chaotic.

Formation repairer Zhang Xiaozhao formed a formation at the bottom of everyone's feet, which was a relatively high-level defensive formation; the talisman papers suspended around were shot out like lightning, blocking attacks from all directions.

More than one monster attacked Xiao Man and the others, the number was equal to theirs, and they were all in the middle of Guiyuan!

Monster beasts are different from human practitioners in that they are born with strong bodies, and their return to the middle stage is much more durable than practitioners of the same realm.

When Xiao Man went down with his sword, there was a sound almost like the collision of swords, which shows that this thing is really thick-skinned.It looked very ugly, with four feet on the ground, a pair of long and sharp fangs, and a face covered with beard and hair, even the eyes could not be seen.

"Its weak point is at the back of the neck." Bie Beilou reminded Xiao Man.

Xiao Man immediately stepped forward and used the move "I don't know if spring is here" to end the name of this unknown monster.

The sound of the battle was fierce, and the formation was shattered under the continuous collision of a pig demon. Seeing that he was about to pounce on Zhang Xiaozhao, the formation repairman, Qu Hanxing turned around with his sword horizontally and stopped him, but at this moment, there was a winged monster The beast swooped down from a height and hit Qu Hanxing's back.

Zhang Xiaozhao hastened to fight, but the winged monster came fiercely and smashed it with its sharp claws.Qu Hanxing was fighting with the pig demon, and had no time to take care of the rear. In a moment of desperation, a piano sounded!

Zheng——

The vigor is like a thousand troops sweeping across, directly overturning the winged monsters and pig monsters together.

Qu Hanxing was able to catch his breath and said excitedly, "Thank you Brother Lou! No, it's Farewell!"

The battle was still going on, Qu Hanxing and Zhang Xiaozhao took advantage of the fact that both the winged monster and the pig monster were knocked down, and stepped forward to kill them.There were still three monsters still alive, and they all chose to retreat to avoid the battle, and they naturally chose to pursue them.

The team moved forward slowly.

"The formation just now is not good." Xiao Man said in a low voice, "Zhang Xiaozhao and Chen Ai, you two are in the middle, I will go in the front, Qu Hanxing, you and Bie Beilou are on the left and right."

There was no objection, and everyone immediately changed their formation.

Chen Ai sacrificed the talisman paper again, Zhang Xiaozhao held the fly whisk in his hand, ready to fight at all times.

The second wave of battle came quickly, and this time, there was another winged monster lurking in the sky swooping down and attacking Qu Hanxing.

Xiao Man threw Jian Hongchen with his backhand, and directly nailed the winged monster to the tree.

Qu Hanxing, who escaped from the dead, was full of gratitude: "Thank you Brother Man, ah no, thank you Father Man!"

It took a group of two quarters of an hour to clean up the six monsters. The corpses lay across the road. The last one killed was the most conspicuous, walking like a hill.Qu Hanxing raised his sword to decompose their corpses and sort out the valuable parts.

Zhang Xiaozhao joined him, and said: "I found that the monsters in this secret realm seem to be more manic than the ones I usually meet outside. This is only a middle-level one. If it encounters a high-level one, how should I deal with it?"

"It's probably because I haven't seen a living person for a long time, so I'm excited?" Qu Hanxing thought for a while and replied, "It's the excitement of seeing food."

The rest took a short rest on the side.

Suddenly, Bie Beilou stretched his hand into the air and made a "grab" movement. In an instant, his face changed, and he shouted: "There is a poisonous miasma here, get back!"

"what?"

Everyone exclaimed and retreated immediately.In desperation, Qu Hanxing did not forget his spoils.

They retreated several feet away before stopping, checking each other, and found that everyone had different degrees of bleeding from their fingertips.

"Hey! This is poisonous miasma? It's the first time I've seen it in my life!" Zhang Xiaozhao raised his hand, looked at the fingertips that were dripping blood, and exclaimed.

Bie Beilou took out the wound medicine from the Qiankun Ring and distributed it to everyone. Xiao Man's physique was special. After he withdrew from the miasma, his fingers stopped bleeding, so he didn't take it.

"We have already scored [-] points for the six middle-level monsters. What should we do next, continue to enter the dense forest, or change places?" Chen Ai asked while applying the wound medicine.

Xiao Man thought carefully, and asked Bie Beilou with sideways eyes: "Is there a way to overcome this miasma?"

No one knew that after that drop of phoenix blood seeped into the soil, there was a faint brilliance for a moment.

And hidden in Xiao Man's sleeve, the red on the top was a bit deeper.
