Chapter '2 The Secret World

Zhang Yan's personality is like this, the three words "I lost" came out of his mouth lightly and without any weight.But even so, as a cultivator of Huandan, he still silenced the onlookers for a moment.

Including some guys who have been prepared for a long time.

"It's too hot, it's too hot!"

"Uh, this shouldn't be what we want..."

High in the sky, both Li You and Hong Qianqiu saw each other's helpless expressions.Yes, the two of them are the instigators.

To say that the two are completely out of good intentions.According to the rules of "winning cards" of the Demonstration Department, a monk who has a "sword sacrifice card" in his hand cannot refuse the challenge of "winning cards" from others, but the time can be fine-tuned within the scope of the situation.

This was originally a clever way to encourage internal competition and improve the monks' actual combat ability, but because it was "inside", Yu Ci's way of using the sword like blood when it was unsheathed was really not very safe.If they fought with high frequency, maybe there would be some accidents in a series of fights, causing troubles.So, they went to find Zhang Yan.

In the entire Lichen Sect, there is probably only this one who meets the requirements, and doesn't care about his status, or the temptation of the "Sword Garden" itself-as long as he can match what he likes.

The original plan was that Zhang Yan and Yu Ci would have a "sympathetic" scene in which the water was half released, which could "obviously release the water" to a certain extent, but don't tell the winner, so there is a reason to separate the two. The battle continued in a logical manner, and with Zhang Yan as a shield, there would be far fewer people who wanted to take the initiative to challenge him.If all goes well, Zhang Yan can even be recruited as a training partner. It will be a new kind of tempering for Yu Ci's swordsmanship.

This plan sounds pretty good, but in fact Li You and Hong Qianqiu didn't bother much, and there was no need for it.Zhang Yan is no longer the Zhang Yan of the past, but both of them believe in this person's ability to control the situation. It is by no means a problem to control a master who is capable of supernatural cultivation and create an atmosphere.

But an accident is an accident. It always jumps out and makes faces when people ignore it.

"It's self-defeating, what should we do now?" Hong Qianqiu looked at his accomplice with accusing eyes, this whimsical idea, in the final analysis, was conceived by Li You.

What can Li You do? He scratched his head, and in the end he could only answer in vain: "Go back and ask Brother Zhang, what happened..."

He complained a little. In a sense, Zhang Yan had failed their "trust" and even made things worse.Don't think that a "victory" will scare off the monks in the Demonstration Department, not to mention that this "victory" is full of unreasonable absurdity, no matter how you look at it, it is tricky.

Living in this circle for many years, people will first understand one thing: the easiest and most direct way to confirm something is to try it yourself!It is conceivable that from tonight onwards, people who hear this news but are unwilling to be lonely will throw a snowflake of challenge letters to Yu Ci's abode - the Ministry of Empirical Studies has always encouraged this kind of situation to happen!

"Won't there be a river of blood?"

Hong Qianqiu was somewhat joking, but considering Yu Ci's consistent sword power, no one can guarantee that similar situations will not happen.After all, Yu Ci's sword is so fierce that it is extreme. This kind of "killing sword", "How about I go back and ask Junior Sister Meng?"

For Yu Ci's matter, of course, it is most suitable to find Mengwei, but thinking of the evil consequences caused by his poor idea, and the "inevitable" violations during the process of inviting Zhang Yan out, Li You felt it from the bottom of his heart. Fear... But soon, he won't have to worry about this matter.

"Does Senior Brother Li want to discuss with me about Junior Brother Yu?"

Mengwei's unrecognizable voice sounded behind the two of them, Hong and Li were both startled, and turned their heads suddenly, and they saw Mengwei standing in the void, frowning slightly, beside her. , winking fat man, who is it if it's not Daoist Li?

Daoist Li played the role of the coachman this time, Meng Wei's injuries were not healed, and it was difficult for her to fly with her sword.That is to say, his Yanze Sword, when controlled, the momentum can be big or small, and it can be changed according to the heart, so that it can be hidden from Hong and Li's perception.

Speaking of which, Hong Qianqiu and Li Hong are dozens of years older than Mengwei, and among mortals, there is already a gap of one or two generations. In the sect, there is only one female cultivator who can criticize the wrongdoing of the ancestors face to face for nearly a thousand years.

For this, they all have the most basic respect.

Not to mention Li You, seeing Meng Wei appearing, Hao Xuan almost fell from the sky, and his usual lively and joking flew away to the sky, he could only smile awkwardly: "Junior Meng also came to see this gambling fight ?”

"One step late."

Mengwei responded briefly, and Xuan said indifferently: "Senior Brother Hong and Senior Brother Li walked quite fast."

With the personality of a nun, saying such sarcastic words can only prove that she is really very dissatisfied.

But in the end, Mengwei didn't say anything about disposition. She looked at Yu Ci who was still the focus of everyone's attention on the mountain wall, and said softly: "Junior brother Yu has been wandering outside for many years, and he has his own chance. The killing intent in the sword is easy to trigger and hard to contain." , it’s not suitable to discuss with each other. I didn’t think of this earlier, but the situation has developed to this point, and it must cool down for a while. Brother Li..."

She turned to look at Li Hong.In terms of status here, it is actually Li Hong who is the leader. As the second person among the four generations of disciples of the Empirical Department, he looks kind and simple, but in fact he has deep thoughts and restrained sharpness. With a wide network of contacts, it is difficult for this person to get around when working in the Demonstration Department.

Daoist Li did not respond positively, but shook his head and sighed, and said to Hong and Li, "A Yan still has that temper, it was useless for me to spend my time trying to win his sword sacrifice card... Hey, you two, please don't let me go!" Annoyed, at most I will return favors to you in the future.”

That's good, Daoist Li didn't ask himself, and became an "accomplice" all of a sudden, which made Mengwei dumbfounded.At this time, the fat man scratched his chin and said:

"I understand what Junior Sister Meng means. On the one hand, we will be very careful in future competitions between Junior Brother Yu and others to avoid accidents; on the other hand, Junior Sister Meng, Junior Brother Yu is here to study at the mountain gate, even if many elders are not at home now , but what should be there is still there, this kind of Ye Luzi's swordsmanship is practical, and the authentic swordsmanship method needs to be touched."

Meng Wei was stunned, but immediately understood: "Senior brother Li is right, although the sect is not a sword cultivating sect, it has a wealth of sword scriptures. Junior brother Yu should indeed learn from the strengths of all the schools and improve it theoretically."

"What Junior Sister Meng said is that our Demonstration Department will not treat the sect's meritorious ministers badly. In this way, Lao Hong, Ayou and I will nominate to fight for this month's "Fa Tian Secret Realm" quota for Junior Brother Yu , let him also read books, calm down, recharge his energy, and prepare for the trip to the Sword Garden, how about it?"

"Senior Brother Li, you bothered." Meng Wei bowed to show her gratitude.

Listening to their exchange of opinions, Li You agrees in his heart, but can't help but slander: "Ye Luzi... the mid-mountain mirage is all Ye Luzi, so what is my 'Wu Ding Huo'? Juggling?"

With this absurd thought in mind, he shook his head and smiled, and looked over there too.

Yu Ci, who was talking with Zhang Yan in a low voice, still didn't know that someone here was racking his brains to make arrangements for him: Why didn't he find out before that he was still a worrying master?

With his back against the stone wall, Yu Ci sat on the ground in a relatively comfortable posture. In the semi-enclosed space, only a few round holes above his head let in the outside skylight, making the place less gloomy.

He also didn't deliberately run his mind, but with every breath, the external spiritual energy was as mellow as wine, seeping in from the pores of his body, and it was naturally running and self-contained. The feeling of drunkenness makes one unable to help but indulge in it.

It's been half a month since I came in, and Yu Ci still couldn't help sighing: practicing at the "point" of the Lingmai is so effective!

This is the Fatian Mystic Realm, one of the 22 spiritual acupoints most suitable for practicing retreat in the Wanfa Abode.Even though the center is at the back, its aura is pure and abundant, which is still several grades stronger than the already excellent external environment of the mountain gate.

When in the Cliff City, Yu Ci also visited those secret practice sites that once belonged to the White Sun Mansion. Although they were built on the "caves" of the Lingmai Ground, their effectiveness is still stronger than the air outside the Chenchen Sect's mountain gate. Not enough, let alone here!It's no wonder that Jin Huan tried his best to send his children to the mountain gate.Regardless of the role of personal connections, these cultivation resources alone are far beyond the imagination of outsiders!

Yu Ci entered the cave this time for forty days, and now it has only been a little less than half a year, and he already feels that his cultivation has advanced to another level, and his foundation in the realm of supernatural powers has become more and more solid. , what will it look like.

He smiled slightly, picked up the half-open scroll beside him, and slowly read the words on it under the light of the sky.

One of the advantages of the "Xuanyuan Fundamental Qi Method" is that after the mental image is achieved, all physical and mental cultivations are spontaneous and in line with nature. What Yu Ci has to do is to fine-tune the mental image according to the progress of his own cultivation. In this way, there is a lot of time every day, which can be used to enrich yourself.

The volume of "General Theory of the Sword of Ruining" in his hand contains nearly a million words, even after intensive reading and study, he has read more than half of it in half a month, but he still hasn't missed his practice.

When he read the section of the book "God knows it, and uses it with his mind", Yu Ci was combining his own experience to comprehend it quietly, when a cold snort suddenly came from the quiet room:

"Today, we brothers, we want to convince you to lose!"
