[Xianjian + Ancient Sword Colleague] Being a master is also a kind of practice

The morning sun was like water, pouring in from the only small window in the house, and sprinkled on the figure sitting by the table.The sword case on the table was open, revealing several shining swords among them. The water-like morning light flowed from the tip of the sword to the body of the sword, refracting an incomparable brilliance.For a moment it was hard to look directly at.

However, it was the person beside the table that made it even more difficult to look directly at. Shen Bailing stared blankly, feeling that it was a little unbearable to see such a scene as soon as he opened his eyes.

The brilliant morning light is like a veil like a mist, softly covering the straight figure with its back facing him, countless light spots are lively dancing in the room, lingering among the thousands of bundles of hair, even the snow-white clothes are covered A layer of faint white light was reflected, and at first glance it seemed to be emanating from itself.In the silence, there was only the slight sound of a soft cloth wiping the edge of the sword, and under the dim light, the occasional sideways cheeks of the man seemed to be cut by a knife. Even if he didn't see the front, Shen Bailing could still imagine the concentration in those cold eyes. The appearance must be more touching than ever...

Just as he was sighing with emotion, the man who lowered his head and held the sword in the dim light seemed to be aware of it all of a sudden. Shen Bailing only saw the blue and white sleeves tremble slightly, and then met a pair of eyes as clear as autumn water...

It's really beautiful...

He couldn't help admiring, and when he noticed the slight uneasiness on the man's face, he was slightly taken aback, realizing that he blurted out, which made the young man a little embarrassed.

"...Since you are awake, why are you silent?"

As if to ease the embarrassment, Murong Ziying coughed lightly, turned her face away and said calmly.

"Seeing that Shaoxia Murong is so focused on raising his sword, I just can't bear to disturb you." Shen Bailing smiled slightly and sat up, with any long hair casually draped behind his shoulders, and only reached out to grab the robe and put it on his body, "Unexpectedly, the young hero got up so early."

There was still no response from the other side for a while, but Shen Bailing was taken aback when she looked back.Murong Ziying held a sword in one hand, but the other hand holding a soft cloth stopped motionless at the edge of the sword, as if frozen, only staring at her side with a pair of cold eyes, unable to see any emotion in it, just let his gaze fall Moving to her body, one can see a chest that is as white as jade with delicate texture...

Shen Bailing suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly closed the skirts that had been loosened in his sleep. He even felt a little embarrassed when he glanced at the young man's face opposite him. There was no trace of unrestrained behavior, so she mustered up the courage to raise her eyes, but she caught a glimpse of Murong Ziying who had already turned her eyes away to a corner of the room, and the two ears protruding from the hair could not conceal the touch of pink.Thinking that this young man was a little more embarrassed than himself, the corners of Shen Bailing's mouth could not help but slightly raised, and the shyness in his heart could not help but dissipated.

"Murong Shaoxia." As soon as he opened his mouth, Murong Ziying's gaze turned, but this time he just stared at his cheeks and eyes, and refused to move down at all.Shen Bailing tried her best to suppress the corners of her upturned lips, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I forgot to ask in a hurry. I heard that the Qionghua faction is far away in Kunlun in the northwest. I don't know why the young hero traveled thousands of miles overseas for such a big event?"

"...It's not a big deal." After a while, a cold voice came from the opposite side, "It's just that I accidentally read the notes left by the teacher and learned that there is a sea of ​​darkness in the extreme north, and there are thousands of years of cold iron in the sea. , it is an excellent material for smelting and casting swords, and I am happy to see Lie Xin."

"So that's how it is." Shen Bailing secretly sighed in his heart, as expected of Zong Lian's sect, even his obsession with making swords was exactly the same as his uncle's.Thinking that this young man was going to go to Minghai, Shen Bailing could not help taking care of him, and simply invited, "I dare not hide it, but the stranger I am looking for is actually living near Minghai. Since the road is close, why not Let's go together, what will the young hero think?"

Murong Ziying was slightly startled, she pondered for a moment and then answered, and after a long time said: "Just call me Murong Ziying, I don't dare to be a young hero."

Facing the young man's gaze that seemed to be much gentler than before, Shen Bailing smiled slightly: "Being obedient is worse than being respectful."

Unknowingly, it took half a month for the fleet to sail out of Qinglong Town, and there were several storms and waves on the way. Shen Bailing experienced the power of nature in it, and felt that he had never gone out to sea alone with a sword, which was quite prescient.The ocean is vast and boundless, the more you go north, the fewer islands there are, but there are more and more ice floes on the sea surface, and the wind blowing in front of you is getting colder and colder. Shen Bailing and Murong Ziying saw it in their eyes, and secretly knew in their hearts that with this I am afraid that the time for another sea-going ship is just around the corner.

Sure enough, on this day, after the sea ship stopped by a mostly snow-covered island, Xiang Qing came to the place where Shen Bailing and Murong Ziying lived, and said, "Brother Shen, Brother Murong, our ship I don’t plan to go any further when I get here. I advise you not to go north again. I heard that there is nothing but ice and snow there, and at night it can freeze off the big teeth. Brother Shen looked so weak, so he just I'm afraid I can't bear it."

Shen Bailing shook his head and smiled, "Brother Xiang doesn't need to say any more, I've made up my mind. I've been taking care of Brother Xiang along the way, thank you in advance." She bowed her hands as she spoke.

Xiang Qingmang waved his hand: "We are all brothers, and it's on the way, thank you very much!" After a pause, he said, "Forget it, you must go, and I can't stop it. My ship is on this island We need to replenish and buy some local goods to transport away, so we may simply wait for you for a few more days. But after five days, if you have not returned, we will go ahead."

Shen Bailing was even more surprised. Although he knew that Xiang Qing was a generous person, he never thought that he could do this for two people who had just met for the first time.

After saying goodbye to Xiang Qing and the others, Shen Bailing and Murong Ziying immediately headed north with their swords.As Xiang Qing said along the way, there were countless large and small ice floes on the sea, and the sea wind in the high altitude was as sharp as a knife, and it was very painful to scrape the face.After traveling for about half a day, the wind suddenly eased, and Shen Bailing felt relieved, but after flying forward for less than half an hour, he felt something was wrong.It stands to reason that the further north you go, the colder the surrounding area, and the more violent the sea breeze, but when you get here, the opposite happens. Not only does the wind stop, but even the waves below calm down, and there is no wave at all for a while.

"There is something very strange here." Murong Ziying looked around and said, she paused for a moment and suddenly pointed to the front, her voice was quite surprised, "That is..."

Shen Bailing followed and was shocked.

At the end of the sea, there is a gray line. There is no wind, but there is a black and black surge, which is very different from the blue color of ordinary waves. It is even more distinct against the white sky on the sea. Looking at it with a heavy look, it's really depressing, it's a little weird.

Shen Bailing's immortal sword didn't stop under his feet, and he used all his strength to drive him to gallop forward, so Murong Ziying naturally didn't lag behind.In the blink of an eye, the blackness came before the eyes, and the sea area was even more astonishing from a closer look.The surface of the sea with a radius of hundreds of miles is black and gloomy like thick ink, not to mention, it is clear that there is no wind, but it still seems to be boiling endlessly. What is even more strange is that this mighty sea wave seems to be swept away by an unknown force. Guided by the power, they surged towards the center of the ink sea at the same time, and the waves were hundreds of feet high, like a flexible and indestructible city wall, surrounding the center of this sea area.

Shen Bailing was puzzled, and couldn't help lowering the spring water sword a little, but a gust of cold air hit his face. Although there was neither wind nor ice in this ink sea, it was even colder than the previous seas several times.

Just when he was surprised, he suddenly heard a cold voice beside him: "I once watched "Ten Continents", and wrote that five thousand miles away from the northeast of the East China Sea, there is a round sea. The sea water is as black as ink, and it is called the sea of ​​darkness..." But It was Murong Ziying who also descended.

"'There is no wind, but there is a great wave, and there is no way to get back and forth'... The ancients never deceived me." Murong Ziying's words naturally aroused Shen Bailing's memories of his youth. He murmured the books he had read, Looking at the grand scene in front of him, his eyes were full of emotion.

Murong Ziying looked around, but her brows gradually frowned: "This place is quite big, but there is no place to stay. The person you are looking for is not at the bottom of the sea like a thousand years of cold iron?"

Shen Bailing was taken aback, the Master Kun he was looking for lived in the depths of the dark sea, how could fish live on land?It's just that these words cannot be truthfully told to Murong Ziying. He has been with this young man for a while, and he naturally knows the deep-rooted prejudice against demons in Murong Ziying's mind, so he falters right now, thinking secretly How to tell him.

Just when he was in trouble, there was a sudden rush of noise from the sea below his feet.Amidst the sound of splashing, several sea waves had exploded high and slammed down on them.

Now Murong Ziying naturally didn't care to listen to Shen Bailing's explanation, the two of them hurriedly used their swords to dodge the continuously rising sea water, unknowingly they became farther and farther apart.

As soon as Shen Bailing raised his head, he realized that Murong Ziying had actually flown to the other side opposite to him. Looking into the distance through several sea waves, the blue and white figure was still standing upright on the sword, and from time to time waved his sleeves and lowered a Lei Guang dispersed the surrounding sea water. Although he couldn't see his expression clearly, his figure was indeed safe and sound.

He secretly relieved himself, and looked down into the sea water again, his eyes suddenly opened wide.

The surging sea water gradually divided to the two sides, and in the tumbling blackness, a little blue light suddenly flickered from the starting point, and the little blue light gradually merged and became more and more obvious. Only then did Shen Bailing see that there was something on the bottom of the sea. Something was approaching the surface of the sea more and more quickly, and there was a sound of splashing water, and then a fan-shaped bright blue fish tail came out!

The tail of that fish was hundreds of times larger than that of ordinary sea fish. With the sound of piercing wind and gusts of cold air, it slapped Shen Bailing menacingly, and the waves splashed in the air condensed with the tail of the fish in an instant. Beads of ice crackled and fell into the black sea water.

Shen Bailing only felt that before the fish's tail reached him, the cold air was about to scrape off a layer of flesh on his face, how could he dare to resist directly with his body, so he quickly pinched his hand and drew it aside, Chunshui Jianqing With a sound, it carried him around, and lightly dodged aside.

"Monster, how dare you do evil here!"

Murong Ziying over there naturally also saw Shen Bailing's dangerous situation clearly. Immediately, her sword eyebrows raised, and a white palm was protruded from the sleeve of the flying clothes. He recited the formula aloud.

All of a sudden, the sky above the head became gloomy, and the gray clouds gradually gathered, getting lower and lower, almost touching the arched waves.Gradually, there was a faint roaring sound in the clouds, and suddenly lightning flashed one, two, and three times, and several purple lightnings shuttled back and forth in the cloud like snakes, and gradually became entangled together.Suddenly there was an explosion, and several strands of tangled purple lightning fell vertically from the cloud towards the sea, and landed on Murong Ziying under the cloud impartially.

"Ziying!"

Shen Bailing was startled, and was about to fly to catch up, but saw the young man in the lightning light shaking his head slightly soothingly to him.

Murong Ziying's body was shrouded in a layer of purple light, his brows became a little fiercer, and his formerly stern face became even sharper now. His eyes were like lightning, and he shot coldly at the bright blue giant fish churning the waves in the sea, He said coldly: "Monster, die!" After finishing speaking, he pointed at the past like a sword.

Immediately, a huge purple awn split down into the sea with a crackling sound.
