Chapter 126 Raising the Sword
Looking at the two items in his hand that were tightly wrapped in oil paper, Xu Yan felt a little curious in his heart, but in the end, he chose the larger object to take it apart first.
Carefully untied the straw rope tied to it, Xu Yan turned on the oil paper, and then saw a pair of brand new cloth shoes inside.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yan suddenly remembered that after he went down the mountain from Qixingdun to return to the courtyard, he glanced at the cardinal in the courtyard as if he was busy with something, but because he was not too concerned at that time, he only caught a glimpse of a rough spot. Looking back now, it should be that Cardinal was sewing these cloth shoes for him.
Xu Yanxin was touched and quickly took out the cloth shoes and tried them on them. Unexpectedly, it was just right. It seemed that the Cardinal had already known about the size of his shoes in private. After a cup of tea, Xu Yan took off the brand new cloth shoes on his feet and wrapped them with grease paper again.
The style of this pair of cloth shoes is very beautiful, and the fabric is much better than the shoes distributed by the sect. However, while he is still on the road, he naturally doesn't want to wear it like this and waste it in vain.
Xu Yan sighed slightly in his heart. Such warmth and thoughtfulness were never experienced in the countless years he had lived, because he had only had a steady stream of killing.
Xu Yan exhaled, his eyes filled with thoughts. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little nostalgic for his current life, as if a gentle wind blew into his cold and desolate heart. However, in the end, he quickly stopped this simple fantasy and luxury.
Since he chose to be reborn because of hatred, he should not forget how he should find the final destination.
After Xu Yan took back the cloth shoes into the storage bag, he untied another item wrapped in oil paper. But even if he didn't open it, he could clearly feel what was inside when he held it in his hand. The result was as expected in his heart, which was exactly the books inside, but the number was not only one, but two.
Xu Yan looked at the three big words on the writing and couldn't help but sigh again. The book was the book "Landscape Collection" that the Cardinal had read before him.
He opened the first few pages of the book and found that the records on the five states were all about the mountains, rivers, cities and distribution, as well as villages and towns on the Five Prefectures continent. There was nothing strange about it. However, when he turned the book to the middle, he found that there was a very tightly folded yellow paper in the pages.
Xu Yan took out the folded yellow paper, turned it on several consecutive times before spreading it out completely. With the help of Ye Mingzhu, he was able to see clearly that it turned out to be a huge map drawn purely by hand.
The map is not particularly detailed in the entire Five Prefectures continent, but the route he went north this time was clearly recorded, and even there are many detailed descriptions of the route.
For example, where can you get to a few days, or where to take a small path, how much time can you save when you take the official road outside, etc.
Xu Yan's eyes were quite complicated, but his heart was full of warmth. He slightly swept through this map of the merger of pictures and texts, and then he found that after he owned it, he could save much time. Even those detours that had gone far away, he could also walk a lot less.
"Sister Hong, Sister Hong, although you have known for your long time that you are a little lazy in your cultivation, you are too careful and considerate when doing these things. How can I repay you?" Xu Yan looked at the map in his hand that must have spent a lot of time, which was more time than preparing the food, and couldn't help but smile in his heart.
However, at this moment, except for the dark night outside, who can give him this answer?
Xu Yan carefully put away the extremely thick "Shishui Collection" and left the map in his most commonly used storage bag. After all, he must use it frequently in the next trip. Therefore, it is most convenient for him to place it in the most commonly used storage bag.
Although Xu Yan himself has the ability to remember everything, there are too many contents recorded on this map. Even if you want to read it thoroughly, it will probably take a lot of time. The most important thing is that Xu Yan actually doesn't want to record the content recorded on it directly in his mind immediately, and then throw it aside and never read it again. You know, this is the result that took Cardinal countless days and nights to draw.
call!
Xu Yan exhaled a long breath of turbid air.
After checking until now, he finally only had the last book in his hand that he had never read. However, for Xu Yan at this moment, his curiosity became increasingly weak, because the favor that the Cardinal had shown him before made him feel a sense of heaviness that was indescribable.
Just as Xu Yan was determined to open the azure blue book cover in his hand, but there was no word on the book on his hand, a crisp and loud sound of rain finally came to his ears.
Since it was midsummer, most of the rain came quickly and heavily when it rained. However, when camping in advance, Xu Yan was not panicked at all. He knew very well that no matter how big the thunderstorm was, it would not be possible to penetrate these tents made of spiritual beast fur.
A heavy rain came quietly.
The deafening thunder sounded across the world.
The dazzling lightning flashed again and again in the night sky, as if above the huge night sky, there were immortals in the sky who deliberately wanted to break the silence that was unique to the night.
It was not until about a quarter of an hour later that the roar from the clouds gradually disappeared.
Xu Yan felt the long-awaited thunderstorm, and finally calmed down after a manic vent. Then he took back his mind and began to look at the book in his hand that was obviously several times thinner than "Shishui Collection". Just as he had just opened the first page, he clearly saw the name of the book, "Sword Raising".
Seeing that the name that appeared in front of him turned out to be, Xu Yan couldn't help but be shocked.
As an ancient sect that once entered the first sword sect throughout the Five Prefectures Continent, the Lotus Sect was not only the fifth generation sect leader at that time, but also invincible in the world. At the same time, according to historical records in the sect, he also practiced all the two sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-scoring-sect-scene-stopping sword-making scriptures, and later created a sword-making technique that belonged to him, "The Fu of the Clouds".
The lonely book of "The Fu of the Clouds" has long been lost in the long river of time. There is no doubt about this, because after the fifth generation of sect leader "ascending to become an immortal", someone turned the Sutra Library in the sect into the sky, but in the end this person failed to find this amazing sword technique as he wished. Of course, this point is actually no longer worth exploring. In addition to "The Fu of the Clouds", the foundation of the establishment of the Lotus Sect itself relies on two other sword scriptures that have existed since its founding.
One is the "Sword-Resistance Technique" that is open to all the disciples in the sect, while the other is the "Sword-Resistance Technique" which is only known but does not know its origin.
The loss of "Sword Raising" was fifty years ago, when the Lotus Sect happened, but only a very small number of people in the sect knew the specific details at this time. Therefore, the loss of "Sword Raising" and the incident that affected the continuous decline of the sect at that time have basically become an ulterior motive for the sect.
The reason why Xu Yan knew this was naturally due to Zhao Bailian's frank advice to him.
Looking at the book "Sword Raising" in his hand and the records of the sect that he had to know when he first entered the sect, Xu Yan could basically infer that this sword sutra was undoubtedly the sword sutra that was forcibly taken away by Zhao Bailian's uncle (and his father-in-law's head of the Bai family) under that change. Why did it eventually appear in the hands of the dragon and be handed over to him? The key figure among them is naturally Bai Haijing, the current owner of Baihe Jianzhuang.
However, Xu Yan did not spend too much time to guess. The complex fluidity evolved from this sword sutra. He just felt that the Cardinal gave him the scriptures now, which made him owe the other party a lot of kindness, and invisibly increased it a little. Although he also gave Cardinal a piece, which is more precious than any elixir in the world, the Cardinal's attention to him is irreplaceable to him by any Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure.
"Why!"
Xu Yan sighed this night, but he couldn't find any other way except sighing, so he could express his complex emotions.
"I didn't expect that there were quite a few people who like you, but there was no doubt that the woman who was with you day and night was the best one among them to you. No wonder you were willing to give the flower-xin from the golden hairpin Shilan to her. Tsk tsk, you know, when someone was negotiating with me, someone refused to return the flower-xin to me. Alas, it's so annoying that people are so angry!"
When he heard this sarcastic rush sound from the sea of consciousness, Xu Yan, who was already in a heavy mood, was instantly defeated. He immediately laughed and scolded, "Why are you everywhere? You have a lot of things, and people are so angry that you are so angry that you are still 100,000 miles away from transformation."
Xiao Cai was ridiculed by Xu Yan and didn't care at all. She just continued, "Why, dare not admit it? Didn't you refuse to return the flower-xin to me when you died? If I had this flower-xin, I might have grown to the final form now. Alas, if you want to blame me, I will only blame me for meeting the wrong person."
Xu Yan said angrily: "It's almost OK. If you can get cheap, you're still good at it. Without me, even if you eat the whole golden hairpin, you will have to die of it. Besides, didn't I? I didn't get the inner elixir of the white mirage in Sanjing Creek at that time? I originally left this flower-core for myself to use it in the future."
Xiao Cai couldn't refute his words, so he didn't plan to continue to investigate this issue, but asked, "What are you going to do now? Are you practicing this Sword Sutra or not?"
After hearing this, Xu Yan nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course I have to practice. This is the kindness given to me by Sister Hong. How can I let me down?"
After hearing this, Xiao Cai surprised not to tease him anymore, but replied in a faint tone: "Okay, then I'll practice too. I feel that since I practiced the Transformation Chapter you gave me, I feel that I seem to have become a little different from the past."
Xu Yan was not surprised by this change, but just asked: "What's the difference?"
After thinking carefully, Xiao Cai spoke and replied: "What is the difference? Actually, I can't tell you now, but I seem to be able to predict that level 7 is not my end. I feel like there is still a long way to go after this. But I can be sure that I have never felt this way before. Alas, the specific situation will only be known after I really reach level 7."
When Xu Yan learned that even she was still confused, she naturally couldn't know him better than her. However, he felt much more relaxed in his heart when he had made the current change. Obviously, with the help of the Transformation Chapter, the other party had quietly undergone a huge change.
After pondering for a while, Xu Yan said to her: "Being able to have this prediction now can only mean that there has been a significant change in you. This is not a bad thing. Besides, you are still quite far from breaking through to level 7. You should practice slowly first. Maybe when your cultivation is deeper, you may not necessarily have any other perceptions."
After Xiao Cai said "um" and stopped talking, she fell into a deep sleep again.
Seeing that Xiao Cai, who has always been very lazy, has gradually changed her nature and can concentrate on immersing in cultivation, Xu Yan naturally felt sincerely happy for her. Therefore, he did not hesitate at all when he returned to silence, and directly opened the follow-up page of this book "Sword Raising".
Just about half a quarter of an hour passed, Xu Yan finished reading the entire sword scripture in his hand. Then he found that unlike the cumbersome and complexity of various secret techniques that contained the cumbersome and complexity of the Sword-raising Technique, the content recorded in "Sword-raising" is very simple and rare, and it can even be understood that it is actually very simple to practice this sword scripture.
Of course, this simplicity is limited to the fact that it seems on the surface. Whether it can be as smooth as described in the book after real cultivation can be determined after trying.
Xu Yan closed the sword scripture and took it back into his storage bag, but after passing through the mind method recorded in the book, and after confirming that it was completely correct, he controlled the Fuyao, which was placed aside by it, and flew in front of him in the air.
He looked at the famous sword in front of him that felt inseparable from him after he practiced "Sword Control". Without any stagnation, he directly let it penetrate hard to his left chest.
Since it is equivalent to self-harm, Xu Yan can naturally cleverly prevent it from stabbing his ribs. Therefore, Fu Yao followed his master's control and penetrated his chest with a sword, hitting his heart.
The beginning of the Sword Sutra says: If you want to practice sword cultivation, you must first let your sword recognize the master. The conditions for recognition of the master seem simple, but in fact it is very harsh and even brings huge risks, because it requires a drop of blood from the master's heart.
Only a slight prick of Fu Yao's heart, Xu Yan felt his whole body tremble, as if a dizzy twist occurred in his consciousness, and he couldn't help but make him faint. But he, who was already mentally prepared, naturally would not let himself fall asleep like this, but bit his tongue suddenly, allowing himself to remain awake in the sting. At the same time, he did not pause at all, controlling the blood in his heart, and took out a drop of it flowing on the tip of Fu Yao's sword.
After Fuyao was successfully stained with the blood of his heart, Xu Yan immediately pulled it out of his body, and then, under the bleakness of sweating and a snow-white face, he directly used two mental methods.
One is undoubtedly the healing method in the long Bible created by him, which is used to quickly heal the wounds of the heart and body. The other is to use the mysterious method of sword cultivation while the blood has not yet condensed in the air.
So, under Xu Yan's difficult and hard work, a dazzling blood light suddenly burst out from Fu Yao's body, as if in this moment, the sword directly had the breath of life.
The blood light in the sky occupied all the darkness in the tent, which almost made Xu Yan unable to open his eyes. Fortunately, this blood light did not carry any sense of crisis that made him feel terrifying, but only a softness and warmth like the setting sun.
Xu Yan opened his eyes and looked at the shaking of Fuyao in front of him, and did not dare to relax at all. He continued to use the mysterious method in "Sword Raising Technique". When he whispered the last word from his mouth, Fuyao, who was suspended in the air, seemed to be covered in blood and looked extremely bloody.
A buzzing sword roar suddenly sounded from the shaking of help.
Xu Yan looked at him when he heard the sound, but saw the dazzling blood light emitted on Fu Yao's body, which was quickly restrained by him in an instant until it disappeared. But then, its sword body shook violently in the air.
The buzzing sound kept exploding in Xu Yan's ears like a cicada.
As time progressed, the shaking of Fuyao Jian's body became more and more intense. It was not until nearly two quarters of an hour passed that it finally seemed to have reached the peak of shaking.
During this whole process, Xu Yan never moved his eyes away from it, so he naturally saw the wonderful changes that followed it.
A crisp "click" sound appeared on the silver sword body.
There was a crack as inconspicuous as spider silk, spreading from the source of the sound, and then starting with this crack, countless cracks as dense as spider webs spread out, covering Fu Yao's entire sword body.
Xu Yan, who saw this scene with his own eyes and thought it was about to be destroyed, felt cold in his heart. He immediately couldn't help but curse "The sword-raising technique of dog-mother raised", but before he finished speaking, he saw Fu Yao floating in the air and made another slight trembling sound.
Its movement was like a country man, shaking off the dampness that had been stained with his clothes from the morning of late autumn. However, the man shook off the fog beads, and what it shook off was a pile of silver and iron filings from it.
Fuyao at this moment.
Reborn.
