That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 585 Cat and Sword Banlan-sama

Outside Lingyan Pavilion is the Sanqing Taoist Hall.

In addition to the statues of Dao ancestors enshrined in the Sanqing Palace, there are also statues of three Daojun statues accompanying them. After Shangqing Daojun came out of the Daoist sect and established himself as a sword sect, Taiqing Daojun retired, and Yuqing Daojun’s family was the only one. Self-proclaimed, pushing out the Taiqing lineage, and denouncing the Shangqing lineage as rebellious, it is rare to see the three Daoist monarchs side by side in the same palace nowadays.

Xiao Zhinan suggested, "Go in and have a look?"

Xu Beiyou thought for a while, nodded and said a good word.

Sanqing Hall occupies a huge area, which is as high as an ordinary three-story building. When you step into the gate of the hall, you can see three statues standing two feet high. Yuqing Avenue is in the middle, Taiqing Avenue is on the left, Shangqing Avenue You are on the right, among them, Lord Yuqing holds the Three Treasures Ruyi in his arms, Lord Taiqing holds a whisk, and Lord Lord Shangqing holds a sword in his arms.

Xu Beiyou stood in front of the statue and looked up.

Xiao Zhinan also followed his gaze, and his eyes fell on the sword in the arms of Lord Daoist Shangqing.

Compared with the majestic statue of Shangqing with large props, the sword in his arms is really small, only three feet long. If a normal person holds it in his hand, it can indeed be called a sword, but in the two-foot-high statue It seemed a bit nondescript in his arms, it was more like a "dagger" than a sword.

Forming a sword formula in Xu Beiyou's hand, he pointed at the sword in the distance, and the sword energy in the hall instantly flourished. Xiao Zhinan felt a sense of coolness, which soaked into his skin from the outside to the inside, making her subconsciously hug Ban Lan in her arms tightly. Ban Lan, who had been languid all this time, opened her eyes suddenly, a faint blue light flashed away, and a wave of warmth spread throughout Xiao Zhinan's body, sweeping away the chill brought by the sword intent.

Xu Beiyou said softly, "This sword is alive."

Xiao Zhinan smiled and said: "This sword is called Huanglong, one of the twelve swords of the Jianzong. After the overthrow of the Jianzong, it fell into the hands of the master of the Daoist Sword Peak, and later passed it to the hands of the father. The father said, if you can Taking this sword away will be my dowry."

Xu Beiyou murmured: "What an unexpected joy. If I have this sword, I hope to step into the realm of the Eighth Floor of the Earth Immortal. If I have the Five Poison Sword, it will not be difficult to find an Earth Immortal Tenth Floor."

Xiao Zhinan took a step back.

Xu Beiyou stretched out his five fingers and pressed down falsely.

Que Xie, Xuan Ming, Bai Hong, Chi Lian, Zi Dian appeared in sequence around him, together with Tian Lan around his waist, and the inexplicable seven swords transformed by sword energy.

Almost at the same time, the statue of Daoist Lord Shangqing began to shake slightly, and the amplitude became larger and larger, shaking off countless dust and gravel. This statue that had stood here for decades seemed to be about to step down from the altar.

Xu Beiyou said softly: "Zhinan, exit the hall."

Xiao Zhinan said carefully, turned around and walked out of the hall.

At this time, the statue of the Daoist Lord of the Shangqing had separated from the statues of the other two Daoist Lords, broke free from all shackles, pulled out the roots, and moved with a bang.

Xu Beiyou looked up and saw that the Huanglong in the arms of the statue of Daoist Lord Shangqing had unsheathed three inches at some point, and the sword light shot out, making the whole hall radiant.

Xu Beiyou's expression was normal, and he asked calmly, "Patriarch, where are you going?"

Sanqing Hall is not too far from Ganquan Palace, and you can see it from the Tongtian Terrace of Ganquan Palace.

At this time, there were two people standing on the Tongtian Terrace. The current emperor, the eunuch Zhang Baisui, who is known as the "Inner Prime Minister", is the chief inspector of ceremonies.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the Hall of Sanqing from afar, and asked, "Big Companion, do you think Xu Beiyou can take that sword away?"

Zhang Baisui, who ranked ninth in the list of secrets this time, replied: "The twelve swords of Jianzong have different strengths because of their different masters. For example, Tian Lan, who has not had a master for many years, is a low-level martial artist. It can be held in the hand, but Shangguan Xianchen's saber is special. Even the great monks above the twelfth floor of the earth fairy dare not say that it can be easily controlled. This yellow dragon was not ranked high, but it was enshrined in the imperial city. For many years in the Sanqing Palace, he has been affected by the aura of the Son of Heaven, so it may not be so easy for Xu Beiyou to subdue it."

The emperor snorted, and continued to ask: "What about Gongsun Zhongmou's Xuanming and Zhang Xueyao's Baihong?"

Zhang Baisui said with a smile: "These two swords are owner-owned swords. Since the owner intends to give them to each other, it will be easier for Xu Beiyou to subdue them. However, Huanglong and Chi Lian, such unowned swords, have spirituality and can be subdued." It is still difficult, even more difficult than those two swords."

The emperor nodded, and then asked: "Since each sword has its own strength and weakness, then Xu Beiyou's rise to the realm after absorbing the spirit of the sword is also different?"

Zhang Baisui nodded and said: "Naturally, if Xu Beiyou can subdue Shangguan Xianchen's special return sword at this moment, it will not be difficult to go straight to the Twelfth Floor of the Earth Immortal."

The emperor said softly: "Back then, Gongsun Zhongmou mentioned to me that he would use the twelve swords of Jianzong to forge an invincible earth immortal, and then match it with the immortal sword Zhuxian and the dharma sword Qingping. Ye Ye also had the capital to fight, and in the end he chose Xu Beiyou to be the invincible Earth Immortal, companion, how long do you think it will take for this son to become the invincible Earth Immortal that Gongsun Zhongmou said?"

Zhang Baisui hesitated for a moment and said, "20 years."

His Majesty the Emperor gave a deep hum, expressionless.

In the Hall of Sanqing, Xu Beiyou clenched his five fingers into a fist, and his seven swords surrounded the statue of Lord Daoist Shangqing and fell to the ground, as if the painted ground was a prison and a cage.

After the seven swords fell to the ground, they trembled continuously.

If it was just a Huanglong sword, Xu Beiyou who held the seven swords would not have made such a big effort. The key is that Huanglong is the most superior sword of kingship. In this Sanqing Palace, and in the imperial city, Huanglong occupies an advantageous geographical location, and it involves the aura of the emperor, making it difficult for Xu Beiyou to resist.

Xu Beiyou raised the sword with the sixteenth hand to guard the sword, stepped down with one foot, and forcibly stopped the increasingly violent trembling of the seven swords.

The yellow dragon sword in the arms of the statue of Daoist Lord Shangqing is one foot out of its sheath. The dragon head is the sword head, the dragon claws are the sword collar, the hilt is covered with layers of dragon scales, and the sword body is covered with a layer of golden mist, rippling countless ripples, making The sword light shone in the hall.

The statue of Lord Daoist Shangqing slowly moved towards Xu Beiyou. Xu Beiyou stood motionless in place, stretched out a finger, and there were two sword auras, blue and purple, hovering endlessly at the fingertips.

Outside the Yuqing Palace, Xiao Zhinan hugged Ban Lan, unable to hide the worry on his face.

It didn't seem to go well with such a big commotion inside.

Ban Lan in her arms licked her furry paws, and looked towards Yuqing Palace, her pair of sapphire blue eyes began to change color rapidly, and finally froze at revealing a somewhat mysterious golden color.

Then it stretched out its claws and gently grabbed the back of Xiao Zhinan's hand.

Xiao Zhinan asked softly: "Banlan, do you want to go in?"

The white cat meowed spiritually, like a human answering.

Xiao Zhinan let go of his hands, it jumped a few times, and flew into the Sanqing Palace that seemed to be turned upside down.

The emperor on the Tongtian Terrace also saw the little thing that looked like a white spot, and couldn't help laughing: "Yo, it's Master Banlan who made the move."

Zhang Baisui also said with a smile: "Since Ban Lan is on the scene, I guess there won't be any mistakes."

During the conversation between the two, they didn't regard Meili as a cat.

In the Hall of Sanqing, Banlan lightly leaped onto Xu Beiyou's shoulder, and meowed again.

Its eyes are golden.

Xu Beiyou suddenly felt the qi in his body tumbling like a tide, and there were signs of going straight to the Seventh Floor of the Earth Immortal.

Xu Beiyou was surprised and delighted.

Could this cat really be able to cultivate immortality?
