That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 22
On the next day, Xu Beiyou and his group continued to head north. On the way, Xu Beiyou began to adjust his own Qi machine according to a set of formulas taught by his master. He exhaled step by step and inhaled step by step. Exhaling was the roar of a tiger, inhaling was the chant of a dragon, and a dragon and a tiger met each other. Yes, the clothes are seamless, hugging into pills, round and round.Jin Dancheng, pregnant with a baby, the dragon and the tiger, and the sound broke.

This is actually a part of the Daoist alchemy formula, which was passed on to Xu Beiyou after the old man modified it.

Xu Beiyou has been running the vitality in his body according to the Dan Jue taught by the old man for three days, and now he can gradually feel that there is a mass of strong energy in the sea of ​​​​qi in the lower dantian in his body, and there are dragons walking in the limbs and bones, which is exactly what Master The way of the dragon and the tiger mentioned, although he is still far from forming a golden core in the Zhongdantian Qifu, but in the process of practicing the way of the dragon and the tiger, there is also a vague feeling of ignorance, If it is possible to achieve the level of "dragon and tiger, responding to the sound", then a baby will be born in the broken golden elixir, and the upper dantian Zifu will be opened, and the three dantians will be integrated into one, achieving the realm of the earth fairy.

This kind of induction is very mysterious, and Xu Beiyou didn't understand why he knew this, just like a monk who faced a wall and enlightened, suddenly enlightened for no reason.

The old man walking beside Xu Beiyou said softly: "This set of alchemy formulas only has three realms. Hold the essence and guard the alchemy, see the gods are not broken, and crack the alchemy to become a baby. In fact, the so-called first-rank realm has just entered the room, and the so-called ghost fairy is just completed. The first realm, when you reach the realm of immortality and turn to physical fitness, you are almost the ultimate martial artist. The martial artist who has climbed to this realm has extremely strong physique, which can be called impeccable. It's just a joke. Fighting against people, breaking the void, you can see gods, hard as a diamond, hard to hurt, even if you are damaged, you can recover very quickly, so the so-called seeing gods is not bad. Of course, other sects are also different. The corrupted golden body, Taoism has the body without dirt, the two branches of Buddhism have the immovable golden body in the Molun Temple, the Immortal Golden Body in the King Kong Temple, and the Immortal Golden Body in the Demon Gate. Each has its own focus and advantages. You are inferior, but as a teacher, I still hope that you can follow the path of a martial artist."

Xu Beiyou said in a deep voice, "I will listen to Master."

The old man nodded in relief, and then said: "Back then, Xiao Yu walked the path of invincibility, and he was extremely domineering and arrogant, but he did have the qualifications. Ordinary Earth Immortals would not dare to rob him of his sharpness, and when he has truly stepped into the realm of Earth Immortals, he is second to none, and killing the leader of the White Lotus Sect who has already reached the realm of immortals with one sword is far better than mediocre people like me."

Xu Beiyou listened leisurely and fascinated.

Just walking all the way and cultivating all the way, the old man became more and more satisfied with Xu Beiyou, an apprentice. Xu Beiyou's roots were indeed not good, and he was only in the realm between the fifth and sixth ranks after ten years of use. You can see one or two, but it's nothing to have twelve swords to make up for it.The key is that Xu Beiyou has a very good temperament, he can see through many things at a glance, and he has the old background of practicing swords in the past ten years. He has learned from Sword Four to Sword Seven in just a dozen days. , It took a full two years to learn these four swords.

Xiliang Prefecture, from its name, reveals a sense of desolation and desolation. Looking around, apart from the yellow sand in the desert, there is Populus euphratica in the Gobi. After a group of people walked for two days, they could reach Dunhuang City in one day.

However, a huge sandstorm also arrived unexpectedly. In such weather, the old man would naturally be able to walk without hindrance. In fact, if Xu Beiyou and Zhiyun were not taken into consideration, for the old man, thousands of miles would be just a short distance away.But Xu Beiyou and Zhiyun couldn't make it, the three had no choice but to walk towards the nearest crowded place.

It is said that Wangshan is a dead horse, and the three of them walked for more than half an hour before they finally saw the big flag erected high up in the crowded place. Four large characters, Longmen Inn.

This inn outside the Northwest Great Wall is very different from the inn in the Central Plains. The main body is a two-story small building made of loess, which can accommodate more than a hundred people. There are two yards outside the small building, where sundries and horses can be placed. It seems that there will probably be a cellar. After all, the northwest wind and sand are extremely heavy. If there is a sandstorm that can destroy the house, you can hide in the cellar for a while.

Xu Beiyou murmured based on his experience in the arena that he had barely passed, "It looks like a black shop no matter what."

The old man laughed it off and led Xu Beiyou and Zhiyun into the inn.

The old man has spent most of his life traveling the world, so he naturally knows what is black and what is white, or the dust between black and white.

It's just that this kind of understanding can't be said by mouth, and it can't be taught. It can only be realized slowly by oneself. The reason why he took Xu Beiyou on foot, instead of flying around like a god, is precisely It is to let him see the world, enter the world and get out of the world, see through the world without getting tired of the world, so that he can have a heart of glass that is not inferior to the sage Buddha.

Entering the inn, it is not surprising that it is a husband and wife shop. The shopkeeper has a strange appearance and a thin figure, wearing a Taoist robe dangling on her body, but the shopkeeper's lady is plump and looks even "stronger" than the shopkeeper Somewhat, the place that should be convex is convex, the place that should be warped is warped, coupled with that glamorous face that is slightly powdered, the whole person perfectly interprets what a mature woman should be like.There is a sense of coquettishness in every move that makes men have many different thoughts. If it can be briefly summed up in one word, it is a word of coquettish.

Xu Beiyou, who had no personnel experience, really didn't dare to look at it.

Regarding this scene, the old man was still as indifferent as ever, and he had truly reached the state of seeing pink as a skeleton. He asked the shopkeeper for two rooms, one for himself, and one for Xu Beiyou and Zhiyun.

Xu Beiyou has a deep resentment about this, Zhiyun wraps himself up tightly every time, even if he and Zhiyun are in the same room, he can't do anything, he can only sit for a night, Zhiyun is not happy like this, He is not happy, why bother?
But no matter how much Xu Beiyou resents, in this world where teachers are dignified, Xu Beiyou has to do what the master says. He can only carry the old man's sword box, and helplessly lead the silent Zhiyun all the way to his second place. Only the old man was left in the lobby on the first floor.

Because of the wind and sand in the northwest, the window of the inn was very small, so the lobby was extremely dark at this time. The thin shopkeeper and the beautiful shopkeeper lady stood in the shadow behind the counter, with a layer of shadow on their faces, which made people feel uncomfortable. Can't see the real expression clearly, it seems like a pair of ghosts climbing up from the ground in a trance.

The old man said softly, "My shopkeeper, business is booming."

The thin shopkeeper slowly looked at the old man, with a faint green luster in his eyes, which pierced like the eyes of cats and dogs at night in the dim sight, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for your kind words."

At this moment, the door of the inn was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and the turbulent wind and sand rolled into the lobby, blowing the old man's white hair that had never been tied with a hairband or hairpin, covering most of his face.

Then, a group of people walked into the inn slowly in the wind and sand.

Black yarn, brocade robe, black boots, saber.

dark guard.
