Outlying Islands and Different Swordsmen

Chapter 18 Gift of the Sword: From the Illusion

The day and night changes in the illusion are like the outside world, and the only constant is the entire vast grassland.

Every day after practicing, Yi Yao and Liu Minglong would take a walk on the grass.It's just a pity that it is an illusion after all. Although the grass on the grass will shake with the wind, it will not grow or wither.

"Is this grassland really without boundaries?" Yi Yao asked suddenly during a walk one day.

"Yes." Liu Minglong said, "The grassland in this illusion is about less than three miles in radius."

"So small? How do you know the area?"

Liu Minglong smiled and said, "Yiyao, why don't we do an experiment."

The two became more and more familiar with each other, and Liu Minglong no longer called Yiyao "Miss", but directly called her by name.However, Yiyao still maintains her own reserve, and is still called "Young Master".

Liu Minglong stood still at the same spot, and let Yi Yao walk quickly to the front alone.Yi Yao walked forward with doubts, and after a while, she couldn't see Liu Minglong when she turned her head.She kept walking, and after a while, she suddenly saw a figure in front of her, and when she got closer, it was Liu Minglong's back!
"This time you believe it." Liu Minglong said, "This illusion is not boundless. Maybe it is because the Wuxiang Excalibur was forcibly destroyed by the law of the outside world, which made this illusion incomplete. When you walk to the side When it's on the edge, it reaches the other side—or like a sphere."

"It's really strange..." Yi Yao said, but she seemed to be familiar with many things.

……

More than a month.One day, after the two competed, Liu Minglong shook his head and sighed.

After a long time, he said: "Yiyao, you are really talented! I am too far away from you. I spent seven years in this illusion to practice the sword moves, and you have spent so much After one month, it has reached my seven-year level!"

"Really so fast?"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe it." Liu Minglong said, "It seems that you really have the spiritual root of an outlying island fairy, and the world is saved! Do you know why I was in the Taoist temple at that time?"

Yi Yao said: "Do you want to find a secluded place, open the illusion and continue to practice?"

"Yes, I can't beat those three clones alone. You saw it in the Taoist temple. I'm covered in bruises. And if I practice again, I won't be able to complete a year, otherwise there will be new clones. Fortunately, God There is no such thing as a road, how lucky to appear at this time! If it weren't for you, I would have no hope of defeating those 'selfs' in this life. I couldn't even touch the sword demon, and I would have died in Quanshan City .”

After Liu Minglong finished speaking, he presented his "Liuxi Sword" to Yiyao.

Yi Yao declined and said, "Master, for more than a month, you have spent so much effort teaching me such martial arts. I am beyond grateful. At the beginning, I agreed that this sword of yours was just for me to practice. How can I do it now? Can I take it again?"

"My hidden sword pavilion has many precious swords, which I can use. This sword is more suitable for you." Liu Minglong said, "You have an inestimable talent in the world. With this sword, you may be able to defeat those clones. Besides, in the future we will also I need to find the other two to open the illusion. This is my wish, Yi Yao, please don't refuse."

The words have come to this point, Yi Yao can only accept it.

In the end, Liu Minglong taught her the method of using a sword to open an illusion. "When you have no distracting thoughts in your mind, use this sword to draw a circle in the air with full concentration, you can open this illusion, and leave the illusion in the same way. At the same time, if your mind is strong, you can also try to bring the people around you to enter together. Practice. You came in this time, and you were led by me."

After teaching the method of opening and leaving the illusion, Liu Minglong said: "It's time for us to leave. Hurry up and unseal Quanshan City, and you should go find your father as soon as possible, and we will advance the follow-up matters together."

Yi Yao asked: "We have been here for more than a month, how long has it been outside? You said one year in the illusion, one day outside?"

"Yes, it's been more than a month, and the outside world has only passed for a while. Presumably your maid and the two young masters of the Mo family have not had time to react, and we have appeared again."

After Liu Minglong finished speaking, he looked at Yiyao with some regret, and said for a long time: "When I was about to leave, I was a little bit reluctant. Although it was an illusion, I have been with you day and night for more than a month. Compared with the life outside, I am happier and contented. Yao, you are kind and innocent, but you are upright, it's a pity that I didn't get to know you earlier..."

After hearing this, Yi Yao lowered her head shyly and did not answer.In fact, for more than a month, after all, they have been together day and night. Liu Minglong's kindness, consideration and patience have moved her somewhat, and she can also feel some of Liu Minglong's affection for her.But at the moment, she doesn't seem to have much thought to talk about these.

Seeing that Yi Yao was silent, Liu Minglong hurriedly said: "What I just said offended you, please forgive me...I..."

Yi Yao said softly: "I am very grateful for the kindness you have shown me, young master. Don't feel sad, young master. It is not impossible to meet each other after leaving here. In the future, we will join hands to defeat the sword demon."

……

In the dilapidated Qingxu Taoist Temple, the sunlight still shines on the ground through the holes in the roof.

Mo Xiangzhi, Mo Jianzhi and Ling Duo were still looking for Yiyao and Liu Minglong.

"Just now Mr. Liu shot a strong light at my young lady with his sword, didn't he? Where did he get my young lady!" Ling Duo looked around anxiously.

"But this broken view is so big, everything you can see, how could these two people disappear out of thin air?" The two young masters of the Mo family were also at a loss.

While the three of them were still hesitating, suddenly, a huge circle appeared in front of them out of thin air, and the whole circle emitted a dazzling blue light.The three of them could only quickly block their sight with their hands.

The blue light fades.Before he could react, he saw Yiyao and Liu Minglong appearing in front of the three of them as if they had changed shape.Yiyao holds the Dragon Spear in one hand, and the Liuxi Sword presented by Liu Minglong in the other.

"Miss!" Ling Duo and the two sons of the Mo family called out in unison.

Yi Yao was about to speak when she suddenly saw Liu Minglong next to her, no longer dressed in clean and luxurious clothes like in the illusion, but with torn clothes and many wounds on her body, one or two were still bleeding.The difference is huge.

She froze for a moment, then remembered that this was exactly what Liu Minglong looked like when he first saw him.He was defeated and wounded by three of his clones, and he had no choice but to hide in the Qingxu Temple.

Seeing his appearance, Yi Yao suddenly felt distressed, and turned her face away.

Liu Minglong is very natural.Seeing this, he also bowed his head, his eyes met Yi Yao's face.He said softly: "Yiyao, we are back. Next, it depends on you."

At this time Lingduo rushed over in a hurry, supported Yiyao with both hands, glanced up and down, and kept asking her if she was injured.

Yiyao hadn't seen Lingduo for more than a month, and she was overjoyed.Yi Yao asked the three of them about the time, and sure enough, it took only a while from the time she entered the illusion to when she came out.

Yi Yao was about to speak, when suddenly she heard noisy voices from outside the Taoist temple, it seemed that there were many people.Several people in the Taoist temple looked at each other. Before they could figure out who it was, with a "pop", the wooden door of the Taoist temple was kicked open from the outside.As the door fell to the ground and shattered, a group of tall soldiers holding weapons and wearing black armor flashed out at the door. Everyone wore black masks with patterns of evil beasts on their faces.

"Pingjing Black Armored Guard?!" Mo Xiangzhi shouted, his tone seemed to reveal shock and fear.
