Fragrance is good for purifying the heart

Chapter 61
During this period, Gardenia no longer went to Xiaozhulou because of an old injury on her back, but she still got up at [-]:[-] every day and went alone to the open space outside Nuanxin Hall to practice sword control and ground-binding cold thorns. Xuan Jue and Cangyun Nine Palaces Sword Technique.

Because she is a Wumu Taoist, extremely talented, and so diligent, after the rest of the month, her Earth-Binding Cold Thorn Secret Technique and Cangyun Nine Palaces Sword Technique have been able to attack according to instinct, and she has more than a hundred bound weapons. The Ice Ice Blade and more than ten sword energy can be activated at the same time, and its power cannot be underestimated.

Only the sword-handling technique was one that she mastered very skillfully from time to time. Whenever she stood on the edge of the sword and flew, she still didn't dare to fly too high, and it was crooked and lacked balance.

Gardenia secretly figured it was because of her back pain, so she wasn't in a hurry.In the past few days, Beimian has passed on to her several ancient books, asking her to read the details herself. Gardenia has read them carefully, plus the "Bound Earth Cold Thorn Mysterious Technique" and "Cang Yun Jiu Gong Sword Technique" that Beimian had previously passed on to her. 》, she already has six large ancient books in hand.

In addition to the two books that she had already mastered before, there are also "Essentials of Taixu Mind Technique", "Essentials of Five Elements and Bagua Formation", "Secret Techniques of Ancient Puppetry" and "Essentials of Secret Techniques of Ancient Talismans". She has carefully read through the first five volumes. , and also recited some important parts.

Only in the "Essentials of Ancient Talisman Secrets", except for the thunder talisman, water talisman, and fire talisman, she didn't have much time to read the rest of the parts in detail, and she didn't recite the drawing methods of some important talismans very well.

At around nine o'clock that day, not long after she was practicing outside Nuanxin Hall, Beimian came and said he wanted to test her ability to understand and use these ancient books.

"The Essentials of Taixu Mind Method" contains detailed records on how to regulate the spiritual power in the body. Gardenia has a more accurate grasp of the movement and use of spiritual power in the body than when she previously practiced the Earth-Binding Cold Thorn Secret Technique. .

Seeing her rapid improvement, Beimian nodded with satisfaction, and then tested her understanding of the Five Elements and Bagua formation.

"Nine stars also have their own five-element attributes, which are related to the hexagrams assigned to each star. For example, the north of Kan Gua belongs to water, and Canopy is in the first house of Kan, which is Mercury; the northeast of Gen Gua belongs to earth, and Tianren is in the eighth house of Gen. For Saturn…”

Gardenia talked about it bit by bit, but in just one cup of tea, she actually memorized the key points of the entire Five Elements Bagua formation.

Beimian saw that her understanding of the Five Elements and Bagua formation was much more profound than when she first started, combined with Qimen Dunjia's understanding of the Five Elements and Bagua. Unconsciously, the corner of his lips curled up, and a look of satisfaction appeared under the jade mask. :
"Yes, Gardenia, you are extremely talented. You have your own unique understanding of the mental methods or essences taught to you by your teacher. Except for the "Essence of Ancient Spells and Secrets" that you haven't memorized yet, you have mastered the other five ancient books. Not bad, but it depends on your flexible use in actual combat in the future."

When he said this, the smile in his eyes became even bigger, "Since you have worked so hard these days, my teacher is here today and I have a treasure to give you."

He opened the palm of his left hand, activated his magic power slightly, and retrieved the sword he had found for her in the past few days from his storage space:
"This is a top-grade spiritual treasure, called Baihong. After you let it bleed to recognize its owner, it can be used by you. When you, the sword god, become one, you can burst out with powerful power."

When Beimian said this, there was a different kind of affection in his eyes.

"Thank you, Master." Gardenia didn't notice his look, but just followed Beimian's instructions and recognized its master with the Baihong Sword.

When a drop of her innocent blood fell on the Baihong Sword, the Baihong Sword made a low buzz, and the sword trembled slightly. It took a long time to stop. Gardenia held the sword in one hand and held it firmly. In the palm of her hand, she felt that this sword was actually a bit lighter than the fairy sword Ni Anzhi had given her before.

She used Cangyun Nine Palaces Sword Technique, and the White Rainbow Sword immediately circled, flipped, and spun in the air. In an instant, it turned into more than ten sword energies in the air. After a long time, they merged into one, turning into the original appearance of the White Rainbow Sword, and flew back to Gardenia. in hand.Gardenia looked at it carefully, and saw that its blade was extremely sharp, shining coldly in the sunlight. Although the sword was long, the weight of the sword was very light. The end of the hilt was engraved with a deep red sword pattern, and it also had a heavy pendant. A blood-red tassel, held in the hand, looks very chic and extraordinary.

She clearly felt that since she and Bai Hongjian recognized each other through blood, Bai Hongjian could wander around according to her wishes. Even if they were far apart, as long as there was no obstacle, it could fly to her according to her wishes.

Gardenia was overjoyed, and thought of Beimian's promise to her that she would find a perfect fairy sword for her. Now that she had found it, she was so satisfied. She looked at Beimian with more eyes. Only after a certain amount of time can there be respect and friendship between master and disciple.

Three or five days later, the injury on Gardenia's back was almost healed. She thought that she had not seen Nangong Wenxiu for a long time, so she took the Baihong Sword and went to Qiuzi Palace to find Nangong Wenxiu.

From the Nuanxin Hall where she lives to the Qiuzi Hall, one needs to climb a small slope, pass through a bamboo forest path, and then climb dozens of stone steps to reach it.

Originally, she could go there with a sword, but Gardenia thought that her sword control skills were not very good, and she had been locked up in the Warm Heart Palace to recuperate these days, so she wanted to walk around again, so she gave up the idea of ​​wielding a sword. , walk instead.

On this day, Gardenia was wearing a crescent-white gauze dress. She had two long thin braids on both sides of her long black hair, hanging down on her chest. She had no makeup on her face, but her skin was fair and red. If her lips were painted with Danko, they would look so delicate and charming, and contrasting with the white clothes, she would be like a fairy walking out of the mist of smoke.

She raised her sword and walked slowly in the bamboo forest path. Suddenly she felt something strange behind her, as if someone was following her. She quickened her pace, and the person behind her also sped up. She slowed down, and the person also slowed down.

But when Gardenia turned around, there was no sign of anyone, and the feeling of being followed became more and more obvious.

She didn't know if the person following her had malicious intentions, and she didn't dare to rashly use the Earth-Binding Cold Thorn Secret Technique or the Cangyun Nine Palaces Sword Technique that she had just learned. Besides, this place was still within the boundary of Taixu Mountain. Who could be following her all the way?
After thinking about it, she started running as fast as she could. After running through a lush bamboo forest, she hid and secretly looked through the gaps in the bamboo forest to see who was following her behind her.

Sure enough, not long after, there was a rush of footsteps and gasps from behind, and the man really caught up with him.

Gardenia raised her eyes and took a closer look, and saw a young girl about the same age running over, panting, standing in front of the bamboo forest where Gardenia was hiding, looking left and right, as if looking for her figure, and muttering to herself. language:
"It's strange. I saw someone just now, but why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?"

Gardenia saw that she didn't hold a sword in her hand, and she didn't look like a bad person. Then she walked out of the bamboo forest where she was hiding and asked loudly: "Young lady, are you looking for me?"

The girl was startled by her, but she quickly calmed down, twitching the corners of her mouth and showing a smile: "Oh, I am the junior sister Tong Ling who passed the entrance examination with you. Senior Sister Gardenia, right?"
