Chapter 131 Sword Cave
Chapter 131 Sword Cave
The Daoist Qiu He in the cave was bending over and slowly tending the flowers and plants, when he sensed someone coming in and looked up, he immediately laughed: "Yun'er, Ziqing, why are you here today?"
For cultivators, it's nothing if they haven't seen each other for more than ten days. Since they come so frequently, they must have something to do.
Both Yun Lie and Xu Ziqing said, "I have seen Master."
Master Chu He straightened up, seeing his apprentice, he naturally didn't have the heart to play with flowers and plants, so he beckoned the two of them to enter the room and sat down.
He looked at Yun Lie up and down first, nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at Xu Ziqing, but was a little surprised: "Ziqing, you were only in the early stage of foundation establishment not too long ago, and now you have broken through?"
Speaking of this, Xu Ziqing's feeling of shame that had just been suppressed surfaced again, coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "This disciple is just a fluke."
Master Qiu He saw him like this, so he didn't want to ask more questions, so he looked at another disciple: "Yun'er, haven't you taken good care of your junior brother?"
Yun Lie nodded: "The disciple's supervision is not effective."
Xu Ziqing hurriedly said: "It's not the brother's fault, but the disciple was too careless, provoked the tree on Si Xing Peak, and was later attacked by resentment, in order to resist... that's how it happened."
It is natural for this pair of brothers to protect each other, but when Master Qiu He heard Xu Ziqing say this, his worries prevailed: "The resentment on the tree of the Buddha's heart is the most intense, Yun'er should have reminded you."
Xu Ziqing's face flushed: "Senior brother once told me not to walk around, but this..." He lowered his voice, "I think that senior brother didn't expect me to be so reckless..."
Master Chu He laughed and sighed, he is not a strict person.From his point of view, as a senior brother, it was wrong for Yun Lie not to raise the point properly, and it was also wrong for Xu Ziqing to lose his vigilance.It's just that since Xu Ziqing has nothing to do now, but he got a blessing in disguise and reached the middle stage of foundation establishment, that's all.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head, and said earnestly: "The journey of cultivating immortals is dangerous and difficult. These words should not only be heard, but also deeply felt. In the future, you will encounter more serious and dangerous things. If you want to survive, you must not lose your aggressiveness; but if the danger cannot be resisted, you must be able to advance and retreat."
This is the talk of the master's experience, and it is also advice. Both of them agreed with their hearts: "The disciple obeys the teacher's teaching."
This conversation has come to an end.
Then Master Qiu He said again: "Yun'er and Ziqing are here, if there is something to do, let's talk about it first."
Xu Ziqing looked at Yun Lie, he came with his brother and didn't know what was going on.
Yun Lie said, "I want to take my junior into the sword cave, so I'm here to ask Master for instructions."
Daoist Qiu He realized: "Now that Ziqing has just broken through the early stage of foundation establishment, are you sure you can bring him in?"
Yun Lie said: "Just enter the first floor first."
Master Qiu He thought about it for a while, then smiled and said: "Forget it, I don't know Ziqing as well as you do, now he is in your hands, you just need to teach him well."
Yun Lie replied, "Yes."
When the two were talking, Xu Ziqing was confused. After they finished speaking, he asked, "Senior brother wants to take me to Jiandong, where is that?"
When he thought about it carefully, this place sounded familiar.
Master Qiu He replied with a smile: "Your senior brother used to practice swords in seclusion there, and now he wants to take you there, don't disappoint him." Seeing Yun Lie taking care of his junior brother in this way, as a master, he felt very grateful. It's very gratifying.
Xu Ziqing also remembered that when he was apprenticed to his teacher, he heard his master talk about his brother's experience of hard training. Among them, he practiced in the sword cave for [-] to [-] years. It can be seen that it must be very unusual in order to create such a character as a brother. Come.
Thinking of this, he was filled with joy: "This disciple will definitely work hard."
The three masters and apprentices talked for a while, most of them were Xu Ziqing who came to listen to Master Chu He who told him about his practice in the past few days, Master Qiu He stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, the master and apprentice got along very well.
The two of them came late at first, but it took a long time to talk about it. At daylight, Master Chu He even stayed with the two of them for dinner, and then sent the disciples away with great reluctance.
After a long time, Master Chu He returned to the cave with his hands behind his back, sighing slightly.
After all, I still feel unwilling... With such a good talent and quality, and with such respect for the teacher, but because of the incompatibility of attributes, I can't teach him personally...

Little Killing Peak.
Xu Ziqing followed Yun Lie and asked, "Senior Brother Yun, when are you going to Jiandong?"
Yun Lie said: "With a little preparation, we can go."
Xu Ziqing understood, and nodded in response: "Yes, Senior Brother Yun."
In fact, he didn't have anything to prepare, all his belongings were hidden in the finger storage ring, but he thought about what his senior brother might bring, so he went back to the cave first, summoned Yanshuang and Chonghua to explain a few words, and then waited for his senior brother subpoena.
After a while, Yun Lie appeared at the entrance of the cave, and Xu Ziqing came out immediately and walked over.
The two set off immediately, Xu Ziqing didn't ask any more questions, just followed.
Soon, Yun Lie came to a very high cliff. Several caves, large or small, were cut into the cliff, and along a winding mountain road, they were divided into several layers.
There is a huge "sword" written on the top of the cliff, which seems to contain endless sword intent, which makes people fascinated and deeply moved.
Xu Ziqing raised his head to look, and felt as if he saw the infinite spring rain, lingering like silk, and at that moment, he seemed to enter an illusion, with a kind of vitality rushing towards his face.
However, there is murderous intent in this vitality, it is soft, but it also implies sharpness, which is unbearably sharp.
Xu Ziqing was stunned, when someone patted his shoulder suddenly, he woke up immediately, looked sideways, it was indeed Yun Lie.
"Senior Brother Yun, I just..." He hesitated.
Yun Lie said: "You have only been practicing swords for a short time, and you were captured by the sword intent."
Xu Ziqing nodded, stared blankly at the word "sword", still feeling lingering fear: "This thing is so powerful!"
If the senior brother hadn't patted him in time, his sea of consciousness might be forced in by a ray of sword intent, and he would suffer pain instead of being injured.
Yun Lie nodded slightly: "But those who come here are all here to practice swordsmanship, so they need to do more sharpening."
Xu Ziqing took a deep breath: "I understand."
In other words, when they reached the sword cliff and outside the sword cave, they had already started various trainings for them.
In his heart, he increased the difficulty of this trip by a few percent, Xu Ziqing followed Yun Lie and bent down to the bottom of this sword cliff.
Just like the rest of the people who came to Jiandong, the two of them started from the first step of the winding mountain road, step by step, keeping their feet on the ground, and slowly went up.
Xu Ziqing saw that there were many people with long swords on their backs, all of them had determination in their expressions, and when they walked up the mud steps, they all walked piously without any contempt.
If you want to come here, it must be the place that people who practice swords yearn for.
Seeing the attitudes of others, Xu Ziqing's mood gradually became ethereal, all emotions were suppressed in the bottom of his heart, and his whole heart seemed to be washed by the sword, and became extraordinarily calm and firm.
Every step he took, his state of mind changed and he became calmer. Gradually, Xu Ziqing also immersed himself in this special state, and he didn't wake up until he stepped on the last step.
Yun Lie looked down at him and said, "Xinxintai."
The steps, which seem to be piled up with dirt, were actually stepped on by countless sword cultivators who were proficient in the way of swordsmanship from the Wuling Immortal Sect. This long mountain road has a total of 99 steps.
But for all the later disciples, the first time they climbed up, they could cleanse the dirt in their hearts, make the sword heart clear, and when they entered the sword cave, they became more tenacious.Instead of walking up like a head back, it seems to be able to regain the innocent heart of learning swords at the beginning, temper the will, and sharpen the state of mind.
When Xu Ziqing heard it, he was full of admiration.
At the end of the mud steps is a row of smaller sword holes, each of which can accommodate about three or five people to enter, and there are only seven or eight in a row.
In front of the sword cave, there are monks in blue shirts guarding it.
They also had long swords on their backs, and they each sat cross-legged at the entrance of the cave with solemn expressions.
Yun Lie said, "Cavekeeper."
Those who can guard the entrance of the sword cave are all sword cultivators. The purpose of guarding here is to maintain the order in front of the sword cave, and secondly, to withstand the five-element wind from the sword cave to temper the body.
After Yun Lie told Xu Ziqing about everything, he said again: "The Zongmen Grand Competition is coming soon, and the Bliss Peak will not rest. You need to hone the "Four Seasons Sword Art".
Xu Ziqing's heart trembled: "Those four people... are they convicted?"
Yun Lie nodded slightly: "Before the big competition, those four people will seal their true energy and imprison them in a water prison to meditate."
Xu Ziqing suffocated: "How long is the sect grand competition...?"
Yun Lie said: "There is still May, you need to come out of the sword cave."
Xu Ziqing was silent, this time is not long... Then he nodded cruelly: "I will definitely not let senior brother down."
It was decided, the two brothers and sisters were not hypocritical, so they walked to a sword cave.
At the entrance of the sword cave, the cultivator sitting cross-legged raised his eyelids: "Which peak person?"
Yun Lie remained silent, Xu Ziqing said: "Xiao Zhufeng Xu Ziqing."
That sword cultivator drew several strokes on a booklet and said, "Go in."
Xu Ziqing said first, "Thank you." Then he turned his head, "Senior Brother Yun, I'm going now."
Yun Lie nodded, turned around and went to a higher level.
With their cultivation base, even if they want to enter the sword cave, they are not in the same place.
Xu Ziqing took a deep breath and stepped into the sword cave.
Speaking of which, it was the first time that they were completely separated from each other since they met senior brother.
Many journeys in the sword cave, but this time, he has to go through it alone...
