Chapter 9 The Power of the Sword Spirit
When all the inner disciples of the Chunzi Sect came outside the courtyard, they found that the Senior Brother Zhou, who was usually so heavy that they didn't even dare to breathe, was already lying on the ground with life and death unknown. On Zhou Xian's chest and the ground paved with bluestone slabs that he was lying flat, they were dyed red by the blood spit out of his mouth, and looked tragic.
Seeing this, everyone from the Chunzi Sect looked at each other again, but none of them dared to come forward to check his situation. After a long time, only in this team with more than a dozen people, someone who was not confident asked: "Senior Brother Zhou... Will you be killed in battle?"
When someone heard someone speak first, someone said angrily: "Don't let your mother's stinky farts, if he dies, we will all be buried with him!"
"But...but, the strong wind just now was too evil. Do you see clearly who the person who took action was?"
When everyone heard this, they shook their heads.
"Although I don't know who this person is, it will never be our junior brother. It is probably the one who was arranged by the sect leader by his side to protect his safety." Another person said.
"Then... is it possible that the sect leader took action himself?"
"What is wrong with you? What is the identity of the sect leader? How could he do this ruthless attack on our disciples? Besides, the person who asked us to get out before was obviously a woman's voice, are you deaf? "
Before the slightly timid disciple could speak again, a giant sword finally flew in the sky where the dusk was already in full swing. Above the flying sword, the old man from Little Lotus Peak No. 1 stood.
The old man's face was gloomy and fell directly in front of many disciples of the Chunzi Sect. Everyone present saw that the person who came was the old man, and his heart was already cold. They all bowed their heads and bowed and said tremblingly: "Disciples have met the Supreme Elder."
It was the old man of the Supreme Elder of the Chun-character Sect who ignored the salutes of these disciples and immediately walked quickly towards Zhou Xian who was lying flat on the ground. He reached out and grabbed the latter's right hand, and noticed the beating from the other party's wrist. He felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.
Although he had already rushed to the main peak with all his strength when he saw the sword energy on the Little Lotus Peak, he was still one step slower. Fortunately, the other party just knocked his personal disciple unconscious, but did not leave any incurable internal injuries, nor did he damage his foundation of cultivation.
The old man lifted Zhou Xian who had fainted, turned to Liuyun Courtyard, and said aloud: "Thank you for your mercy, Miss. I wonder if I can return the sword red candle of my disciple?"
After the old man finished speaking, he waited until almost ten breaths before a sound came from the yard.
The sound still sounded as crisp and pleasant as before, but it was indescribable in the ears of the disciples of the Chun-character Sect. The voice replied: "I want a red candle? You can, use the four-character sword technique that your disciples practiced as exchange!"
When the old man heard this, he did not hesitate at all. He then took out a book from his arms, and then threw it casually, and the book flew into the Liuyun courtyard like wings.
A moment later, a flying sword shot out from the yard and was nailed directly to the bluestone slab in front of the old man's feet.
A sword penetrated the bluestone under his foot, and the sword body kept shaking, making trembling sounds.
The old man was not angry about the other party's warning method. He pulled out the red candle, but glanced at all the disciples present indifferently, and let out a cold snorted between his nose. Then he held Zhou Xian in one hand and held the red candle in the other, and stepped on the giant sword again.
The giant sword flashed in the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
...
When Xu Yan returned to the kitchen, the cardinal was frying the stirred egg before, but he didn't know that the chopsticks in the latter's hand had actually been replaced with a new pair.
Seeing that Xu Yan had already sorted out his image, the dragon blanched his eyes and then said sarcastically: "Tsk tsk, have you come back after a trip? You dare to fight with the sword cultivator who is close to the four floors. But even if you want to secretly learn other people's sword moves, you may not necessarily use this method. Are you really not afraid of being killed by the other party with a sword?"
When Xu Yan heard this, he smiled and replied, "In this yard, he dare not kill me, well... he can't kill me!"
The cardinal heard what he meant, but his face did not improve much. He put the scallions in the pot and fried eggs. However, it seemed that the eggs were still a little burnt. It was obvious that before, in order to block Zhou Xian's sword, she made the vegetable oil in the pot cook too strong.
After bringing the fired eggs to the table, the cardinal poured the broth from the clay pot into a huge porcelain basin, and said, "Let's have a meal first!"
Xu Yan lit a little, helped her to make a bowl of rice, and when she handed it to her, she suddenly said, "Thank you this time!"
The cardinal looked stunned, but took over the job but did not answer.
She picked up a bite of fried egg and found it was not delicious when she ate it in her mouth. Then she picked up two other stir-fried side dishes and tasted it, which was even more unpalatable. It seemed that when cooking was disturbed, the food would indeed change the taste, although these dishes looked no different from usual.
So, the cardinal threw the chopsticks on the table, his face looked extremely unhappy, and he frowned and asked, "I'll just say thank you?"
Xu Yan was not as tactful as her because he was not a picky person. Moreover, he felt that the dishes tonight were no different from usual, as they were as delicious as usual. In addition, he had been traveling on Huangmaojian these days, and he had eaten hard dry food distributed by disciples of the sect. Now he was satisfied to have such a hot dinner.
However, when Xu Yan saw the other person's face, he felt a little annoyed, he replied weakly: "Then I will wash the dishes tonight?"
When the dragon cliff heard this, his clear eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and dark clouds dissipated on his face, showing a look of 'Young man, you are so good at it'. He smiled evilly and said, "It's right!"
...
After Xu Yan finished washing the pots and pans, she found that Cardinal was sitting on the bench at the dining table and flipping through a book. The book did not look thick, about four or five pages, but she seemed to read it with relish.
However, because there was really too little content in the book, she quickly turned to the last page. Seeing that Xu Yan was free at this time, she threw the book in her hand at him and said, "Hey, this is what you want to get for your life. I won't take advantage of you, I will give it to you."
When Xu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but wonder. He then opened the book and found that this thing turned out to be a sword score. After he quickly browsed the contents on page by page, he found that the moves described in the sword score were only four moves, which were the four-character sword technique used by Zhou Xian before: Rain of Wind and Rain.
Xu Yan closed the sword score and looked at the indifferent look of the black curse. He was quite grateful. If she hadn't taken action tonight, she would have been seriously injured. And she just felt the sword technique used by Zhou Xian and wanted to successfully steal the master. The difficulty must be quite large. She did not directly refer to this sword score to practice.
However, Xu Yan felt a little embarrassed to make herself express her gratitude to her again and again.
Seeing that he was eager to speak but stopped, the dragon rolled his eyes again and took the initiative to change the topic: "Although this set of sword techniques is average, it is most suitable for you now. Even after your cultivation reaches the middle third level, this set of sword techniques can still exert its outstanding power, especially the next two moves. If you use them well, you may not be able to fight with the sword practitioner who has just entered the upper third level."
When Xu Yan heard this, he nodded in agreement. Then he thought of the thunder and lightning power contained in the thunder and lightning rule, and asked: "When I was enduring the other party's thunder and lightning rule, I found that under this powerful sword energy, there was a thunder and lightning power mixed with this powerful sword energy. What is this?"
When the dragon heard this, he paused his tone, but in the end he did not choose to hide it. He said bluntly: "This is the power of the sword spirit placed in the red candle."
"The power of the sword spirit?"
"How to say, a famous sword is actually like a living person, and the sword spirit is equivalent to a human consciousness. Your current cultivation level is still too weak. It is actually not much benefit to tell you about these things. Moreover, your sword is Fuyao, one of the top ten famous swords. To be honest, it is difficult for me to determine whether it chooses you as the new master. Is it your luck or your misfortune?"
The dragon curled for a moment and continued, "As far as I know, the person who once owned this famous sword, when he was able to use the sword spirit power placed in Fuyao, he was already a sword cultivator after Dacheng. You also know that in the Five Prefectures Continent, Dacheng sword cultivator is nothing more than the upper three realms that people call."
When Xu Yan heard this news, his heart sank. Although he had only understood the power of the sword spirit at this moment, according to the meaning of the Dragon King, he wanted to use the true power of the character "Shu" and it seemed that his cultivation level would reach seven floors. Of course, what made Xu Yan most depressed was that if this set of four-character sword techniques was really as described by the Dragon King, then after he entered the third realm, it would be powerless in terms of power. Only then could he truly use it, so what else would he use it?
Xu Yan raised his sword eyebrows and said unwillingly: "Then there is no other way to use the power of the sword spirit in Fuyao in advance?"
Regarding this question, the Cardinal looked at him with a very complicated expression, but did not respond directly. Then she stood up and walked out the door. However, when she went out, she left another sentence and said, "By the way, your master asked you to go to his Ruoshui Villa tomorrow afternoon, saying that there is something important to explain to you."
Xu Yan was not dissatisfied with the last reluctance of the Cardinal. Judging from her hesitant appearance, this problem may involve some ** that she cannot reveal. However, according to her reaction, there is obviously another way. As long as there is a solution, there will be a chance to achieve it. After all, Xu Yan must practice this set of four-character sword techniques.
