Han Shan's Sword Unsheathed

Surrounded by mountains, a lake is located in a depression.The four people on the lake fought against each other, their clothes fluttering, sword qi crisscrossing, sword light flying across the room, and water splashed into the sky.One of them fought three against one, but he was able to do a job with ease and not fall behind.

More than [-] members of the mining team stood on the hillside, with a wide view of the blue lake and blue sky, overlooking the battle from a high position, and exclaimed:

"What a master! This trip is really not in vain."

"In the book, it is not nonsense to say 'Pian Ruo Jing Hong Wan Ruo Long'."

Meng Xueli wondered: "This is really a good fight. Why can't I do it like this?"

He is very self-aware. Enemies or teammates will only feel cruel, violent, and terrifying in the pictures he does by himself, which is far from the words "beautiful and moving" and "pleasing to the eye".

"Fighting is not about looking good. Each faction has its own style of play, regardless of superiority or inferiority. Besides, I think you are very good." Ji Xiao is also willing to explain the doubts of the little Taoist couple: "They are fighting in the ring."

One-on-one in the arena, thousands of pairs of eyes are watching the two of them.The trajectory of the sword light must be round and smooth, and the movements of the body must be agile and elegant, so that it can be regarded as in line with the aesthetics of practitioners.

Before the disciples of the sect went down the mountain to travel, they had been tempered in such arenas one after another, and the fighting methods they formed had the brand marks of their respective sects, which were completely different from those of casual cultivators.In short, no matter whether you win or lose, you can't make a fool of yourself and use any indiscriminate tricks.If you are competing in the same discipline, you should also pay attention to the end of the point and the ability to retract and release freely, in order to get more applause.

For example, Yu Qishu, who was fooled by his senior brother not long after he entered Taoism, fought more than [-] rings in Yanjianping, Hanshan, and will fight more in the future.

Meng Xueli was in a very good mood when she heard her apprentice praise herself.

In the gap between the falling water, Meng Xueli could clearly see the clothes of one of them: "He is really a disciple of Hanshan, but I don't know him."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a person on the lake shout: "Cui Jing, let's stop fighting. Some people are coming, and there are too many of them, just wait for us to lose both, so that we can catch them all!" More than [-] people appeared on the hillside at the same time. Huge momentum.The four of them had no time to tell each other apart during the battle, so they thought they were formidable enemies.

Meng Xueli thought for a while: "The name sounds familiar."

Another person shouted: "Cui Jing, I count to three, how about we stop at the same time... What are you doing, don't you understand human words!"

The young swordsman named Cui Jing remained indifferent, and his sword became more and more swift.Where the sword light passed, it burned like a blazing flame, and the lake water evaporated instantly, turning into streaks of white mist.He splashed with water, his face was shrouded in smoke, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Everyone in the mining team exclaimed again, and suddenly someone asked: "Red Fire Sword? Is he Cui Jing, the disciple of Hanshan's head?"

Meng Xueli suddenly realized, and shouted to the foot of the mountain: "Hey, you three, bullying more and less is nothing."

Ji Xiao: "It's okay, he can handle it." The other party wanted to retreat, and the sword lost its sharpness.In Ji Xiao's eyes, the victory of this battle has already been decided.

But before Meng Xueli could speak, the silver light of "Time Eternal" flashed, and his figure was already at the foot of the mountain, like a water bird spreading its wings, flying over the reeds by the lake in an instant.

Ji Xiao smiled helplessly, and everyone in the mining team shouted loudly when they saw this.

Wang Xiaohua and Li Shunqi also hit the beat and shouted an impromptu jingle:

"Brother Meng is brave and invincible, number one in the world! Brother Meng rushed forward, all at once!"

"Everyone shouted slogans, Brother Meng is like a tiger with wings!"

The four people in the lake had never seen such a formation before, and they were obviously shocked, and the rhythm of the battle suddenly became chaotic.The sword energy is chaotic, the movement is chaotic, and the pleasing aesthetic feeling no longer exists.

Hearing this, Meng Xueli felt very embarrassed, especially humiliated.

He slashed down with his sword, and the energy of "Time Emiyoshi" fell into the lake water, causing a series of spray explosions.

Amidst the sound of thundering water, a person on the lake shouted: "He is Cui Jing's helper! Let's..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and his figure flew up high, smashing down the reeds.Meng Xueli lifted one person flying with his sword, and three huge craters were made in the reeds by the lake.

Everyone in the mining team thought, sure enough, the style of play is different, but brother Meng is simple and efficient, quick and quick.

But the battle was not over, Meng Xueli was about to retreat when he heard the breeze behind him, subconsciously turned around, blocked with a horizontal sword, and there was a sound of sword blade clashing, he finally saw Cui Jing's face clearly behind the water mist.

The man's facial features were cold and hard, and his expression was indifferent.

Meng Xueli explained: "I didn't come to steal your things. We have to hurry."

Cui Jing didn't seem to hear it.On the hillside, Ji Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly.

Meng Xueli turned sideways to dodge, and let the opponent make another move: "You are not my opponent. If you keep pestering me, I will not be polite." He didn't know Cui Jing, and he made a move today because when he was in Hanshan, the real master of the sect was against him. He is kind and caring, so he wants to reciprocate and take care of the master's apprentice.

But since the other party doesn't appreciate it, there's no need for him to rush over, just leave it alone and not interfere with each other.

However, Cui Jing's eyes lit up with a fiery light, and the sword's edge was radiant, burning like a fire: "Come."

Everyone in the mining team couldn't understand the situation, so someone bravely asked Ji Xiao: "Brother Xiao, Brother Meng helped that Cui Jing, why did the two fight again?"

Ji Xiao: "Cui Jing's swordsmanship is strong when it is strong, open and close. He just fought against three people, so he still has reservations."

Some martial arts are warlike, and it is rare to meet a confidant, and even harder to meet an opponent. Ji Xiao understands this feeling, but feels a little unhappy at this time.He once said that Meng Xueli had a chance to choose again.But if the little Taoist couple really chooses someone else, can he accept it?It turns out that lust is followed by possessive desire, Ji Xiao thought so.

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and someone asked: "He or brother Meng, who is stronger? Shall we help?"

Ji Xiao said something that no one could understand: "It's not a bad thing for young people to suffer setbacks." Besides, the little Taoist couple has a sense of proportion.

Not long after, Meng Xueli's sword was on the opponent's neck.

Cui Jing stood there in a daze, as if he didn't want to believe that he had lost, and he didn't seem to understand where he lost.

Cui Jing asked: "Who are you?"

This person is wearing a black cloak, although he wields a sword, his moves are not like a sword cultivator, and he can't see any martial art at all.There are more than [-] teammates behind him, and they are still shouting strange and neat slogans.

When did such a person appear among the younger generation in the practice world?Before leaving, the master said that there are heavens and humans outside the sky, and there are people outside the sky, so don't get carried away by your self-importance. Is this what it means?

Meng Xueli: "A kind-hearted person, a passer-by, a nickname in the world, and he convinces others with virtue."

He carried the sword and walked away, ignoring Cui Jing's astonished expression.Behind him, the lake was full of waves, which lasted for a long time.

Everyone in the mining team cheered and surrounded him, drifting away.

Ji Xiao sent a voice transmission to Meng Xueli: "Do you think his style of play looks good?"

Meng Xueli nodded: "The red fire is burning, and the flames are surging, which is interesting." It's a pity that it is a bit flashy, and it will take another three to five years to become a success.If Ji Xiao had a spirit in the sky, seeing the disciples of Han Shan's younger generation like this, he wondered if he would be disappointed, but he still felt satisfied.

Ji Xiao: "If there is something to do, I will do my best, and I will fight with others in the future. I will go first." I play better than him, and I will show you next time.

Meng Xueli felt that the apprentice really needed to exercise: "Yes, I will watch by the side to keep you safe. How is Master treating you? I only hit you, Junior Brother Yu, and never hit you."

Ji Xiao nodded kindly: "You treat me well, and I like you too."

Meng Xueli stared at him: "Why do you..."

"I'm sorry for a momentary slip of the tongue." Ji Xiao immediately said, "I've already apologized, just pretend you haven't heard of it."

Meng Xueli's cheeks were slightly red, and the back of her neck was numb, and she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell.

After the rain, the sky is clear and the sun is clear, shining spots of light through the dense leaves of tall trees.Before we knew it, the mining team arrived at their destination.The nearer teleportation array is in a deep valley. It is a huge circular stone platform engraved with complex array runes, emitting a faint blue light.

At the time of parting, everyone in the mining team was reluctant to leave, with complicated emotions, and saluted and thanked the two in turn.

Wang Xiaohua: "I am waiting for a safe journey on this trip, all thanks to the righteousness of Brother Meng and Brother Xiao."

Li Shunqi: "There is no way to repay the great kindness and virtue. If I succeed in practicing in the future..."

Meng Xueli waved her hand: "You're welcome, you paid the protection fee and the jade talisman, we traded fairly, there is no kindness or righteousness. I have one more thing to ask for your help."

He took out his storage bag and stuffed it to someone casually, "It's full of jade charms and resources I won, and I'll stay in the secret realm for a while, so please help me register points first. So many people, always You can testify for me."

Everyone was shocked, and after a moment of silence, there was an uproar.The man holding the storage bag looked like he was holding a hot potato, his hands trembling: "I swear with my Dao heart, I will live up to Brother Meng's trust!"

Everyone in the mining team swore.

Wang Xiaohua asked: "Please tell me the name of Brother Meng." Everyone only knew that these two people were from Hanshan, but they didn't know whose name the score should be recorded.

Then they heard an incredible answer: "Changchun Peak, Meng Xueli."

Another moment of silence.

The three members of Wang Xiaohua's team recalled meeting each other on the first night, sitting by the stone pool with each other, gossiping and bragging, and gossiping about the Sword Master and Taoist couple together, their emotions became more complicated, and their faces turned red and white.

After the mining team left in a daze, the two diverted to Central City.Meng Xueli felt that a great event had been accomplished, and felt relaxed, humming a tune while walking.

Ji Xiao said, "It's really easy for you to trust others."

Meng Xueli: "There are more than 20 of them supervising each other. Even if they really have evil intentions, they will fight because of the uneven distribution of spoils... Besides, I convince people with virtue, and exchange sincerity with sincerity. a bet?"

Ji Xiao smiled: "No need to gamble, I believe."

They didn't know that outside the secret realm, the disciples who had retired a few days ago were discussing the question in full swing. The question was "When a fat sheep is placed in front of you, should you kill it or not?" No, different skills.

Some people think that the rules of the Secret Realm Competition are fighting and plundering, and there is nothing wrong with killing them. Some people think that you must be careful, because it may be a "moral test", and a fat sheep will turn into a wolf in an instant, and then beat you to death.Let you lose confidence in practice and hope for the future.

The disciples who supported the "moral test" faction said: "Our team actually met Meng Xueli, but the captain said that out of respect for Jian Zun, it is better to let him go, so we pretended that we did not see him and walked around. Let's go... When we leave the secret realm and see you, we will realize that it was Meng Xueli who let us go!"

The people next to him echoed: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, how could the sword master and Taoist couple be ordinary people? Would sword master like ordinary people? Be sober, it is reality for a man to be talented and beautiful, and a poor scholar to marry a princess is useless." Marrying an Immortal Master is a story from a fairy tale."

There are also people who find excuses for their failure: "Yes, he is the sword master Taoist, the dignified elder of Hanshan, the current peak master of Changchun Peak, and his status is precious. He actually bullies the younger with the big, and bullies the younger generation in the secret realm!"

Most practitioners have a "psychology of admiration for the strong" and respect the strong. Someone immediately retorted:

"That's wrong. When Master Jian was alive, Meng Xueli was planting flowers and raising fish in Changchun Peak. He didn't care about world affairs, and lived a good life. I never heard that he went down the mountain to disturb the wind and rain and bully others. Later, Master Jian passed away. It was because someone was thinking about the 'Chukong Wuya' sword that forced him to come out of the mountain to do it, he just wanted to keep the relics of his deceased husband, so how could he talk about 'bullying the younger generation'?"

"Meng Xueli took the jade talisman, but he did it with discretion and never killed anyone. The so-called 'sword matches a hero', even if the sword master is no longer around, Meng Xueli should also match this sword. In the end, our skills are not as good as others. Don't make excuses, just admit it!"

Everyone talked about Meng Xueli's mysterious soldier called "Time Era", which was flexible and unstoppable by Meng Xueli. "Chukongwuya" should be matched with "Eternal Times of Time". If the sword master is still alive, the two of Changchunfeng will be a match made in heaven, a pair of lovers.It's a pity that fate tricks people, and the love is deep and lifeless.

Suddenly someone said: "Don't you think Zhang Suyuan and the others are lucky? If you say 'protect the elders' and 'be careful elders', your score will drop by a large margin!"

"That's right, the three green-haired parrots would also shout. I obey Meng Xueli, not the three of them."

"What can you do if you don't accept it? Go to 'Hengtong Juyuan' to buy a peach blossom from Changchun Peak, and turn your luck around?"

"Looks like it's out of stock."

There is no dispute on this point, and everyone rated Zhang Suyuan and the three as "the luckiest contestants in the history of the Secret Realm Competition".

But they forgot that the competition in the secret realm is not over yet.When the mining team comes out and tells about the ups and downs and wonderful adventures in the secret realm, everyone will know that there are more lucky people who can save their lives and money by making up rhyming jingles without being a green-haired parrot.

More than [-] people testified together and wanted to score points for Meng Xueli. The leaders of the various factions were in shock and held a temporary meeting to discuss this matter.

The score under Meng Xueli's name increased sharply, leaving the others far behind.At this time, there are still more than ten days before the end of the competition. If there is no accident, according to the score records of previous years, the leader of the competition has already been born.

The news spread from the Gobi Desert in the vast expanse of yellow sand to all parts of the world.

It's not that no one questioned: "Scoring for others? This is against the rules. If Meng Xueli can't get out, who will get the score? Will it be erased directly?"

But there are more disciples who object to questioning: "Can't come out? Don't be kidding, with Meng Xueli's ability, he may not be able to come out unless the secret realm is blown up to the sky!"

During this period, the Mingyue Lake faction remained silent. Compared with the heated atmosphere of controversy, this silence seemed extremely alienated, even weird.

……

Secret Realm, Central City Underground Palace.

The corridor is long and tortuous, and the shark oil lamp stand is shining faintly, flickering on and off.It was the breeze driven by the breath of the mirage beast.

Suddenly, the sound of the wind stopped, and the mirage stopped breathing. It opened its eyes and looked into the depths of the dark passage.

There were faint footsteps coming from the entrance of the underground palace, but it was not a familiar breath, and the mirage was slightly puzzled.

Except for that human race, no one or demon has been here these years.

The mirage beast is not very intelligent, it has lived a long life, but it is neglected in cultivation, and it can't even take shape.

It also doesn't like to fight and fight. Like other big monsters, it grabs territory and becomes a king. It just likes to lie in the shade and avoid light, and likes to take a nap leisurely.But its mirage is produced with breath, which is an innate racial talent.When the other big monsters saw the mirage, they always thought it had the intention of attacking, so they attacked it first, and beat it so that it ran for its life with its head in its arms, and ran away.

Once a beautiful peacock flew into the mirage, became dizzy for a moment, and rushed to the ground aggressively, trying to whip it with wings, but fortunately was stopped by the mink on the peacock's back.

The sable is white all over, and has great coercion. It is the famous king of the snow mountain who makes the monsters fear.

Ling Diao said: "Forget it, it didn't do it on purpose."

This is the only big monster that understands it after wandering in the demon world for many years.

After signing the contract with Master Jixiao, the mirage beast has a stable place to live, and is very satisfied with its current living environment: spacious, shady, quiet, and breathable.

Ji Xiao doesn't need it to be a fighting beast. When the secret realm is opened, Ji Xiao stands on the clouds overlooking it, and no one dares to do anything wrong.

But today seems to be different.With the sound of chaotic footsteps getting closer, it heard a cold voice:

"This is a magic weapon bestowed by the sage. It is blessed by the sage's supernatural powers. It is specially refined to deal with it. One can break the mirage, and the other can ward off lightning! Everyone, take it well, and fight according to the formation!"

The mirage's mind was running slowly, thinking blankly, who is it going to deal with?What are you doing?

Before he could think clearly, his surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.Countless shark oil lampstands that had never been extinguished were extinguished at the same time.

In the next moment, a huge fishing net shining with cold light, like cold stars twinkling in the sky, was placed under the hood!

"Ow—"

The mirage beast was in pain, raised its head and roared angrily!In the secret place of the vast sea, the sky is surging, the moon is covered by dark clouds, and the rain is drizzling!

The team that sneaked into the underground palace has a total of 32 people, and the leader has a Hinayana realm.They formed a circle of four, with eight people in a circle, in a neat formation.

When the mirage was enraged, the eight people who were closest to it were directly shocked by its coercion, and slammed into the stone wall of the underground palace, breaking their bones and tendons, and they lost their breath.

But the leader of the team said excitedly: "The net is caught, stand in your position! Close the net!"

The mirage wanted to strike down a bolt of lightning to warn Ji Xiao in the secret realm, but the net suddenly tightened and entangled tightly, and the sharp wires of the net fell into its flesh.The mirage couldn't move, and was frozen in a painful posture with its head up and its tail up. The dark red blood trickled down from the gaps in its scales, and pools of blood pooled on the masonry of the underground palace in an instant.

The mirage was bloody and could only whimper softly.

The leader shouted again: "It's about to lose its hold, the divine crossbow is ready!"

Only then did the eight people in the outermost layer move, and the mirage beast heard the sound of the bow string being tightened, and its eyes showed despair.

At this moment, there was a clear sound at the end of the corridor!

This sound was not a phoenix cry, nor a crane cry. It contained the majestic coercion of the monster clan. It echoed for a long time, and the sea of ​​consciousness of everyone who tightened their nets was shaken, and their brains ached.

All the bows and crossbows turned at the same time, aiming at the depths of the tunnel, arrows flew across, and the sound of breaking the wind was sharp and piercing.

The reaction on the other side was extremely fast. Accompanied by Qingming, the overwhelming blue demon fire clashed with the arrows, and the arrows disappeared in mid-air.The crossbowman escaped a little later, was affected by the flames, and wailed in pain.

Where the blue demon fire passed, the shark oil lampstand was re-ignited, and the peacock also showed its figure—the orange-red and peach-pink wings vibrated, undulating like waves, and the long blue-green tail feathers swayed like streamers flying.

The good fortune bell is beautiful, and the most colorful, bright and magnificent colors in the world are all condensed on it.

The peacock spit out another mouthful of demon fire, its wings whipped up a huge wind, and the fire blazed with the wind, turning the underground palace into a sea of ​​flames and hell, and the intruders didn't even have time to scream, and turned into flying ash in an instant.

The peacock flew across the flames, folded its wings and landed in front of the mirage.He turned into a young man with a charming appearance and a cold and arrogant expression.

The mirage beast sensed the long-lost familiar breath, sobbed softly, and rubbed him with its horns aggrievedly.

Que Xianming yelled: "You are really useless, you can't even beat a few human races, waste beast! Shame to the big monster! Don't touch me again!"

He breathed in his breath to extinguish the demon fire, and helped the mirage beast untie the net, took out a spiritual grass, and said fiercely: "Eat! It's so useless, see if I can't poison you to death!"

The mirage beast's eyes were sparkling, and tears were shed, but it didn't dare to resist him, so it had to swallow it obediently.

After the spirit grass entered the abdomen, it turned into waves of warm current.The pain of the mirage disappeared, the wounds all over his body healed quickly, and the scales regained their luster, leaving only shallow marks.

Only then did Que Xianming say: "This is a thousand-year-old jade grass, I don't even want to eat it, it's for nothing, you useless beast!"

The mirage beast lowered its head and dawdled against him again, as if it was so soft that it had no bones.

Que Xianming asked, "Who are those people? Why did they come to beat you?"

The mirage shook its head.

"Ask and don't know!" Que Xianming pushed it away impatiently: "Where is Meng Xueli, you should know this, right? If you dare to shake your head again, I'll whip you!"

The mirage really didn't have the energy to strike the thunder, so it breathed out leisurely, with ancient and distant complex syllables coming out of its throat.With the enlightened intelligence level of the mirage beast, it can only answer questions, and will not say anything other than the answer.

Both belong to the demon clan, so Peacock can understand.

Then the mirage also asked him a question - "Why are you looking for Meng Xueli?"

Que Xianming's face was slightly cold, and there seemed to be a murderous intent between his brows: "The demon world has changed drastically, whether the Snow Mountain King can take revenge or not depends entirely on this time."

The mirage didn't understand, and exhaled slowly, the mirage turned into a scene, and bloomed a field of flowers for the peacock.

The dark and cold underground palace changes instantly, with butterflies flying and flowers blooming all over the ground.

……

In the secret realm, Meng Xueli and Ji Xiao walked along the water, Meng Xueli suddenly said: "Why do we have to walk?"

Ji Xiao smiled, he always laughed recently, sometimes he didn't even know why he laughed: "Then what do you think?"

Meng Xueli pointed to the sky: "Brother Meng will show you the stars."

Through the gaps in the leaves overhead, the night sky is full of stars, and the fragments of the Milky Way are like a streamer across the ridges and rivers.

Ji Xiao: "The stars here are fake, mirages."

"Fake stars can be seen but cannot be touched. Real stars can also be seen but cannot be touched. Does it matter whether it is true or false? What's the difference?"

Ji Xiao asked, "Do you want real stars?"

While dismantling and assembling "Time EMI", Meng Xueli casually replied: "You think you want it? You can fly to the sky and pick it off for me?"

Ji Xiao said seriously: "If you break the barrier of this world and fly up in the daytime, you will be able to touch the real stars."

Hearing a "click", Meng Xueli installed the "Bamboo Dragonfly", raised her eyebrows and said, "Then I'll wait, you will pick the stars for me in a few hundred years, now, hold me tight!"

The wind swept the ground, and "Time EMI" soared into the sky.
