Surprised me into a goddess of light

After climbing the mountain for half an hour, a majestic blue-black tower came into view. The outer layer of the tower was tied up by iron chains, and the tower body was covered with sword marks, forming dense runes, as if it was suppressing something.

This is the legendary lock demon tower.

I looked up for a few seconds, and then looked at a simple cottage next to the Demon Locking Tower.

There is nothing around the demon lock tower, only this thatched hut is naturally conspicuous.

What is more conspicuous is a middle-aged man in the thatched cottage.

He has long hair draped over his shoulders, with a chic demeanor, drinking a pot of small wine with a calm expression, but there is a kind of indifference in the depths of his brows.

None of the young sword cultivators who climbed the mountain dared to approach the thatched hut, and together with many Shushan disciples, they saluted the hut from a distance, very respectful, but the middle-aged man didn't even look at them, just thinking about himself.

No one has an opinion on this.

Because this man is one of the seven sages, the head of Mount Shu, the real peak powerhouse in the mainland, Jiang Juezhi.

300 years ago, he traveled far to the Demon Realm in the Far North, and displayed his Confucian Saint Realm on the bank of the Wangchuan River. Retreat, shocking the world.

From a certain point of view, he is the strongest swordsman in the world. Naturally, countless young sword cultivators admire him and yearn for him.

It's just that this head of the ruthless sword practice is notoriously bad-tempered. He seldom cares about the affairs of the peaks of Shushan, and usually only makes decisions before major events... and the reason why he can be the head is nothing more than It's just that the cultivation base is very high and the strength is very strong.

One can imagine how strong he is.

In terms of 'combat power' alone, it is not an exaggeration to be honored as the head of the Seven Saints and No. 1 under the Three Emperors.

There are more and more sword cultivators climbing up the mountain in Tsing Yi, gathering under the shade of trees around the Demon Suo Tower.

I lowered my hat, glanced at the crowd in the forest, and said, "I heard that Que Qingge, the Fairy of Lingxu, is also going to participate in the sword meeting, why didn't she see it?"

"Probably not yet."

Shiliuye also glanced at the crowd, probably because the two of them went up the mountain relatively early. At this moment, among the nearly [-] sword cultivators around the Demon Suo Tower, there are no powerful characters, and the most powerful one is Li Yunrui.

Surrounded by more than a dozen young disciples from Shu Mountain, he came down to the venue, bowed his whole body to the thatched cottage, then bowed his hands to Xiao Ye and me, and started the work of 'maintaining law and order' - issued a letter to every participating sword repairman A talisman seal, and announced the rules and precautions for Slaying Monsters and Lunjian.

The so-called talisman is a dark yellow paper talisman called 'Leaving the Tower Talisman', one for each person, and its function is to help them leave the Demon Locking Tower.

Demon Slaying and Swordsmanship takes place in the world on the first floor of the Demon Locking Tower. If someone encounters an insurmountable danger in the tower, is seriously injured, or feels that the monsters to be killed are enough, they only need to ignite the talisman paper to be sent directly. Go to the thatched hut outside the demon lock tower, receive treatment from Shushan, and evaluate the final score.

Because of the existence of the Lita Talisman, the young sword cultivators were not too worried about the danger. The worst thing was to give up and teleport back. The kind of monsters who didn't even have time to teleport and directly killed themselves were a minority after all.

As for the rules of Demon Slaying and Swordsmanship, it is very simple, just keep in mind the theme of the conference - Slaying Demons.

The lock demon tower is like a real demon domain. After entering, there are no restrictions on any means. The main purpose of sword repairers is to kill monsters, but they can also fight with each other, but killing is strictly prohibited. At most, they can only expel the opponent from the tower with serious injuries. , no matter whether you win or lose, it will not be counted in the results, only the final "number of monsters killed" is the basis for the evaluation of the ranking of the sword.

I listened to Li Yunrui's explanation of the rules, took a look at the talisman, and could perceive the subtle space fluctuations in it... But this doesn't mean much to me. With my space magic, I can shuttle inside and outside the tower at any time. Unlimited.

Putting the 'Leaving the Talisman' into the space ring, I turned my eyes back to the crowd in the forest, and kept scanning, but I still didn't see the disciples of Lingxu Immortal Palace, but found a familiar figure——Xie Minyun.

She was dressed in gray, and she also wore a hat on her head. She stood among the crowd with her arms folded. Perhaps the pink sword at her waist was too conspicuous. a few meters away.

To my surprise, Xie Minyun seemed to have spotted the two of them a long time ago, and his eyes had been focused on Shizaiye.

"Xiao Ye, look over there."

I tugged Xiao Ye's sleeve and pointed to Xie Minyun for her.

Izayoi looked along his fingers and also saw the girl in gray clothes, and he keenly felt that his gaze met for a moment.

Then, Xie Minyun took the initiative to walk over.

"Yi Ye."

She walked two meters in front of Shizaye, her eyes under the hat were slightly different: "Are you a woman?"

Different from the previous men's attire, Saya at this moment is the standard swordsman's attire, with a slender figure without any concealment, and the curve of the chest is clear and full, so the gender can be identified at a glance.

Sixteen nights calmly nodded: "Yes, how?"

Xie Minyun frowned, and wanted to ask why the other party lied, but she didn't say anything... After all, the two parties were not very close, and it was normal to conceal their identities when they were away from home. She herself sometimes disguised herself as a man.

"You also want to participate in the sword debate and compete for the leader?" Xie Minyun changed his words.

"otherwise?"

Shiliuye's tone was calm but slightly puzzled, as if wondering why the other party asked such a question... This made Xie Minyun feel that he had said something nonsense.

"Very good, I admit your strength, it seems that you can have three good opponents today."

Xie Minyun said lightly, then turned his head and stopped talking to Shiliuye.

I probably guessed what Xie Minyun meant. The three opponents were Xiao Ye, Fairy Lingxu, and the sword genius of Shushan.

But she seems to have forgotten me.

This is not important.

I also stopped looking at Xie Minyun, and continued to observe the crowd coming up the mountain. Suddenly, I noticed a sharp sword intent, and turned my head to look south.

Almost at the same time, Xie Minyun and Shiliuye also looked south.

A jade-like sword mark appeared in the southern sky, and the next second, the sword light shot up and landed in front of the Demon Locking Tower, turning into a girl in blue.

She has innocent eyebrows and a peaceful expression, with a long sword on her back, her black hair combed into a meticulous bun, with a wooden hairpin interspersed in between.

There was commotion in front of the Demon Locking Tower, and almost all the young sword cultivators looked at the girl in Tsing Yi.

Xie Minyun's sword is gathering momentum, and the sword intent is hidden, so it doesn't attract attention. However, the sword intent of the girl in Tsing Yi can be said to be undisguised. way, naturally eye-catching.

The girl in Tsing Yi bowed towards the thatched cottage with her hands behind her back.

Facing the salute of the girl in Tsing Yi, the middle-aged man in the cottage reacted for the first time. He put down the wine bag in his hand and nodded slightly to the girl.

Although the nod was small, this was a saint, Jiang Juezhi's return gift after all.

Immediately, almost all sword cultivators guessed the identity of the girl in Tsing Yi...Jiang Juezhi's closed disciple, Shushan's unborn swordsman genius.

Judging by the appearance of the young girl in Tsing Yi, at most she has just grown up, and she came here with a sword. Could it be that she has really broken through the realm of the gods?

Li Yunrui walked out from among the Shushan disciples, smiling like a spring breeze and said: "Sister Priest, you are here."

The girl in Tsing Yi nodded, and then walked towards the two hat men at the edge of the crowd.

Xiaoye and I were shocked.

Because, the two of them actually knew this kendo genius who was obviously a disciple of Jiang Juezhi... It was Mujiu Shi, who was from Class [-] of the Swordsman Department in the first grade of Apocalypse last year, and even his attire remained unchanged.

"How could it be you?" I was shocked.

A smile appeared on the calm face of the girl in Tsing Yi: "Long time no see, classmate Eve, classmate Izayoi."

Obviously Xiao Ye and I were wearing hats, but she recognized them directly.

I walked up to Mujiushi, and couldn't believe it for a moment: "It's really you...how did you recognize me?"

Mujiu Shi smiled and said, "Student Eve and Classmate Shizayoi are super strong, and their temperament is like a heavenly being. It's normal to recognize them."

The surrounding sword cultivators, including Li Yunrui and Xie Minyun, all looked at this side with amazed eyes. Unexpectedly, Mu Jiushi seemed to have known the two of them a long time ago.

A lot of questions popped up in my mind: "Didn't you go to school in Tianqi? When did you come to the Middle Ancient Continent and joined Shushan? And your strength, I remember when I first met you last year, you hadn't started practicing. ..”

Mujiu Poetry was very polite, and replied one by one: "At the end of last year, I returned to Shenzhou with my master, and entered Shushan under the recommendation of my senior brother. As for strength, I actually started to practice Dou Qi last year, but the vitality of heaven and earth has changed before. It's just that my master doesn't let me use it in Valoran."

The master she was talking about didn't seem to be Jiang Juezhi, but...he seemed very powerful.

The so-called "not allowed to use" can be said to have shielded the vitality of heaven and earth in her body, including her supposedly strong physical fitness and others' perception of her energy.

I wondered, "Who is your master?"

863

Entering the Tower Mujiu Shiyu apologized: "I'm sorry, but the master said that the time has not come, so I won't let me reveal his name for the time being."

This answer made me even more curious. Could it be that she, like Xie Minyun, learned from a certain saint?

I decided to ask Tianshu later.

At this time, a deep and indifferent voice sounded: "Open the tower."

The sword cultivators followed the prestige and saw that under the thatched hut, the middle-aged man with a thin figure and an indifferent and domineering breath was still drinking, but the words just now were undoubtedly said by him, which meant the beginning of demon slaying and sword fighting.

At some point, six old men with white beard and hair appeared in front of the majestic Demon Locking Tower. They stood in six directions of the tower and pushed out their palms towards the tower.

Six beams of heaven and earth energy visible to the naked eye emanated from the palm and passed into the Demon Locking Tower. The sword marks on the body of the tower were slightly bright, and six stone doors more than two meters high at the bottom opened with a bang from six directions.

The dim light inside the door flickers, as if leading to an unknown world.

"Thank you six elders for opening the pagoda."

Li Yunrui and other disciples bowed and saluted, and immediately looked at the crowd: "The Demon Locking Tower has been opened, please enter the tower together."

The young sword cultivators responded one after another, and walked to the six stone gates of the tower together, disappearing in the dim light one after another.

I wanted to wait a little longer to see when Fairy Lingxu would show up, but both Xie Minyun and Mujiu Shi walked directly towards a stone gate of the Demon Locking Tower, which made me hesitate... If I entered the tower later, it might be Affects the performance of killing monsters.

"Xiao Ye, shall we go in now?" I asked.

"Let's go."

Izayoi obviously didn't intend to wait for anyone, so he dragged me up the stone path and walked towards the nearest stone gate.

......

The two people who entered the Demon Locking Tower were completely unaware that a pair of eyes had been quietly staring at them from behind.

These eyes are very ordinary, and the owner is also very ordinary. She is an ordinary girl in a red skirt with a long sword hanging on her waist.

What's more special is that she is holding a snow-white and lovely fox in her arms. The fox's eyes are bright and full of aura. It is obviously a monster.

And around the girl, around a dozen or so young people are also surrounded by all kinds of monsters, there are big birds and small snakes, white cats and black dogs, and several high-ranking monsters like wolves and giant tigers. monster.

Although they all carry a sword, they are obviously not sword cultivators, but from the 'Wan Beast Sect', a sect that specializes in controlling monsters. The sect is not very famous, but it is also very powerful. Several of these young disciples under the age of 20 have reached the state of Nirvana.

As a disciple of the sect who dealt with monsters every day, he would undoubtedly gain a greater advantage than other sword cultivators by entering the Monster Locking Tower where monsters were everywhere.

At this moment, in the arms of the girl in the red skirt, the little white fox got its head out, and a soft and charming voice sounded in the girl's heart.

"Qiangwei, I admit that your Wanhua is very useful. You can't even detect the abnormality in the Shushan Sword Formation. However, you are sure that such a simple disguise can deceive that Eve. She is stronger than you. The strong..."

The girl in the red dress touched the white fox's soft hair, and an elegant and quiet voice sounded from the depths of the white fox's mind.

"Don't worry, although Eve is strong, her vigilance has never been high. As long as you don't do something out of line, it is basically impossible for her to find out. Moreover, with Eve's personality, seeing you with such a cute appearance, you may be surprised." It may not be necessary to take the initiative to come up for a hug, and you will naturally have enough time to display the law."

"Really?"

The white fox is still a little worried, and the little red eyes are full of worry: "I heard that her law is called infinity, which is very powerful when you hear it. Is it possible to temporarily suppress true love? You also said that she has an unsolvable lightsaber. What if I was caught in her hand and stabbed to death with a sword... That's right! She can also use space magic, even if I ran away at that time, I would still be caught up and stabbed to death..."

puff~

In the crowd, the girl in the red dress suddenly laughed softly, covering her lips with her hand, and her eyes and brows were full of smiles.

The red skirt girl's companions looked over one after another, and saw the red skirt girl coughed lightly, and regained her composure, as if nothing had happened.

Qiangwei gently rubbed the white fox's head, and said in her mind: "You worry too much, my dear majesty, don't forget that there is me, if Eve wants to kill you, I will definitely protect you and escape safely..."

"What's more, compared to that lightsaber, the law of true love is really unsolvable. As long as you don't change the binding object, I will love you forever, just like you don't want to listen to Hua's orders...we are Stand together, don't you?"

The white fox pondered for two seconds, and the small eyes regained their confidence.

"That's right! Qiangwei, even Eve, can't stand against our true love."

Qiangwei smiled slightly, stopped talking, and walked towards Shimen with the white fox in her arms.

Suddenly, the moment she moved, she sensed some sort of spying in her spiritual sense.

Qiangwei turned her head immediately, and glanced at a group of young sword cultivators behind her.

At a glance, she found a very strange person——

A strange girl in a dim yellow robe dotted with stars stood in the shade of a tree in the distance, looking at her and the white fox.

The reason why it is strange is mainly two points.

First, the appearance of the sacrificial girl is too three-dimensional, with lake-blue pupils and deep facial features like those of Westerners, as if she came from Valoran.

Second, she doesn't have a sword.

Anyone who passes the Shushan primary election and climbs the Yin Peak must carry a sword on his body. Epees, soft swords, long swords and short swords are all acceptable, including Qiangwei who has a sword around her waist at this moment, but this girl in the star robe has a sword on her body. There was no trace of the sword.

Qiangwei narrowed her eyes slightly, and wanted to take a few steps back, get close to the priest girl, and ingest blood to understand the situation, but at the same time she had this idea, the priest girl turned and went deep into the jungle, out of Qiangwei's sight.

"Junior Sister Ye, what are you looking at? I feel like you're out of your mind today, is it because you're too nervous about discussing swords?"

A few companions of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect called out the name of the girl in the red dress.
