Chapter 13: 12 Types of Longitudinal Sword

"What? You received the water mask, and spent twenty spirit coins on the twelve-style vertical sword?"

Wei Tian stared at Tang Jie.

Tang Jie corrected: "I received the twelve vertical sword moves, and spent 20 spiritual coins to buy the water mask."

Wei Tianchong almost went crazy: "Is there a difference?"

Tang Jie spread his hands: "At least I bought this book, didn't I?"

"You also know that the twelve moves of the vertical sword are martial arts and not a book of techniques?" Wei Tianchong felt that he was going to be driven mad by Tang Jie's words.

A martial artist is a mortal skill.

That is to say, this is something that ordinary people cultivate, and real practitioners don't bother to learn this thing.

Tang Jie was so freaked out that he actually went to buy it, oh no, he went to get this martial arts book.

This is like having Yale, Harvard, Tsinghua, and Peking University, but you have to go to a third-rate pheasant university if you don’t go to it!

"Anyway, it's universal for immortals." Tang Jie laughed.

"That's also a martial skill!"

Wei Tianchong beat his chest and stomped his feet, with a look of "hate that iron cannot be made into steel".

The so-called general use of immortals means that this martial skill is somewhat special, and the practitioner can also play a certain role.

The Twelve Forms of the Vertical Sword is such a special book of martial arts, if not for this, it would be impossible for it to be included in Tianyi Pavilion.

The twelve vertical sword moves are a way to practice slashing with a sword, which requires a certain amount of strength.

This power requirement, mortals use their own physical strength, and cultivators can change their own spiritual power when using it, and sword skills driven by spiritual power are naturally stronger and faster than ordinary power, but that's all. A martial skill that exerts the power of the weapon itself cannot be made stronger through spells, let alone have any changes.

"You don't even have a sword, what kind of twelve vertical sword moves are you practicing!" Wei Tianchong shook his head and sighed.

Tang Jie smiled: "Then buy one."

"Can you afford it? The cheapest low-grade magic weapon costs hundreds of spiritual coins, right?" Wei Tianchong snorted coldly.

Weapons are divided into three major categories: Artifacts, Magical Treasures, and Divine Treasures, which correspond to three levels of spells, which are divided into upper, middle, lower and ultimate. It is said that there are Taoist soldiers above Shenzhen, which can only be used by those in charge, so they only exist in legends.

Tang Jie said with a smile: "Buy Fantie and practice it first."

"You are here to cultivate immortals, not to practice martial arts!" Wei Tian rushed to hug his head and wailed, "This is really shameful, don't say you are my servant when you go out in the future."

Tang Jie was speechless: "Are you sure about it? I don't even suspect that you haven't opened your spiritual eyes yet."

Wei Tian rushed up and jumped up: "Who said that? I'm almost done, and it will take ten days at most, and you are only ten days earlier than me!"

"Really? Then congratulations, young master." Tang Jie became interested.

One month is the high-speed period, two months is the standard period, and three months is the minimum period.

If Wei Tianchong can open his spiritual eyes within ten days, then it is absolutely no problem for him to be promoted to Transcendence, provided that he maintains this speed.

The Wei family had high hopes for him, and they probably gave this boy a panacea. In addition, he has worked hard during this period of time, and he has also practiced the relatively simple Shaohaixuan Yuan Jue, so it is normal to have such an achievement.

"That's natural." Wei Tianchong said triumphantly: "At that time, I will definitely choose a good spiritual art to learn, unlike you, whoever chooses the twelve vertical sword moves, even your water mask can be chosen Rubbish."

Water mask is not rubbish.

This is a real spiritual technique, using this technique can form a water shield to protect oneself and weaken the attack.

The problem is Tang Jie's sister's, you learned the Shaohai Cave Gold Jue!

What are the combat characteristics of Shaohai Cave Golden Art?

gather gas!

Fast attack!

Sunder!

It is the foundation of offensive mentality!

You said that you have reached a high level in the future, and it is normal to learn some defensive spells by the way, but what kind of water mask are you learning now!

It's almost as good as you learn the penetrating needle!

However, in the face of the choice of the twelve vertical sword moves, Wei Tianchong was too lazy to scold Tang Jie with the water mask.

A person who is usually very smart, how can he be so stupid when studying the law?

Looking at Wei Tianchong's heartbroken look,

Tang Jie felt quite relieved.

Before I knew it, the relationship between myself and the young master became more and more intimate.

Today's Wei Tianchong, although he is still willful, lazy and has many problems, and he still calls him around and instructs him to do what a servant should do, but at least he already knows how to care about him.

That's all good.

Regardless of how Wei Tianchong was "angry for not fighting, mourning for his misfortune", Tang Jie took two books on art and went to the workshop, bought an iron sword with three coins, and then went back to Taoranju to practice swords by himself. up.

As the name suggests, the twelve vertical sword moves naturally have twelve sword moves.

Each sword style has different movements, including striking, thrusting, thrusting, slashing, etc., but most of them are simple and direct, mainly fast and fierce, and directly attacking the vital points. In fact, it is a very practical sword technique.

If it is in the mortal world, this can be regarded as a superior martial art.

It's just that for the immortal family, no matter how good a mortal martial skill is, it's just a mortal skill. I have a shield of immortal energy, and I can't break it no matter how you cut it, but you can't dodge it no matter how much you point.

Skills are so pale and meaningless in front of the powerful fairy art that practitioners almost never delve into combat skills.

But Tang Jie obviously didn't think so.

So these days, Tang Jie practiced swords in the yard when he had nothing to do, and occasionally practiced the water mask—this water mask consumes ten drops of spiritual liquid once released. Not enough.

I really don't know when and what month it will take to achieve the point where the breathing of those powerful people is the circle of the sky.

A few days later, Wei Tianchong completed his spiritual eyes, and a few days later, Shi Meng also stepped into the threshold of spiritual eyes.

Both of them went to Tianyi Pavilion to receive a technique.

What Wei Tianchong learned is the spirit attraction technique, which releases a spirit thread to entangle an object, making it act according to his own will.

This is Tang Jie's suggestion to him.

As the young master of an aristocratic family, Wei Tianchong is destined to be unable to endure hardships and sweat like a poor student. It just so happens that he has a foundation in carving. In the future, it is appropriate to focus on puppet art and develop in the direction of summoning. In line with his status as the youngest of a rich family. His Shaohai Xuanyuan Jue is also of the type of "endless life, continuous stamina", and this direction is also suitable for this way.

Lingyin technique is the most basic method of controlling puppets. It can be used to control some small objects, but it must be pulled by a spirit thread, it cannot be invisible and has a distance limit, but it can also be used if it is well practiced. Control the flying sword - the flying sword holding the rope.

Anyway, it's not a fighting class right now, let's prepare from the basics and practice control.

Moreover, Wei Tianchong loves to play by nature. After he has been honest for a while, he has recently returned to his old ways. With this spirit technique, let him take a walk with the broom, let the wind chair, and go shopping with chopsticks when he has nothing to do. Let's have fun.

As for Mengshi, it's not surprising that he learned the cleaning technique-it can be regarded as getting rid of some handyman.

The days of practicing were simple and peaceful, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

eagle's nest.

Gu Changqing was writing urgently at his desk when there was a knock on the door: "Subordinate Gao Fei, please see Eagle Master if you have anything to do."

"come in."

The tall young man walked into the room, first saluted Gu Changqing, and then said: "There is news about No. 96 at Canglong Mansion."

"Let's talk." Gu Changqing kept his hands on and continued to do his own thing.

"Wenxin Dark Hall No. 42. After investigation, it was found that Tang Jie entered Wei's house three years ago and was the adopted son of Wu Nanfu and his wife in Canglong Mansion. At that time, he passed out from freezing in front of the Wu Mansion and was rescued by him."

"Freezing time?"

"Tianshu three hundred and forty-two years, the twelfth lunar month."

Gu Changqing suddenly stopped writing, looked up at Gao Fei, his eyes were already shining with divine light: "Tianshu three hundred and forty-two years?"

"Yes!" Gao Fei replied, "It's this year!"

Gu Changqing's voice suddenly turned cold: "Is there any other information?"

"Yes, it is said that Tang Jie's family lived in the Yeguyuan area. Because of being killed by horse thieves, his family was ruined and he fled all the way to Canglong Mansion."

"Noguhara? Horse thief?" Gu Changqing stood up all of a sudden, raising his voice an octave again.

He looked at Gao Fei, only to see a smile on Gao Fei's face: "Yes, Lord Eagle. A down-and-out kid from Yeguyuan who was killed by a horse thief, named Tang Jie, who froze in front of Wu's house. Exactly a few months after Tang Jie fled, he recognized his adoptive parents, entered the Wei family, and finally became a servant student, and entered Xiyue College..."

Gu Changqing said quickly: "Is the source reliable? Has it been confirmed, and how secret is it?"

Gao Fei replied: "It's absolutely reliable. The news is not a secret. The Wu family is an old man on Daliushu Street. Everyone knows their neighbors. The fact that Tang Jie was rescued and adopted was known to the neighbors almost immediately. Everyone knew Tang Jie. After Tang Jie became a servant, the status of the Wu family rose again, and it was almost spread in the neighborhood that the Wu family had two sons who cultivated immortality. It only took one day on the 42nd to find out all the circumstances, and there was no Something could go wrong."

"What about Weifu?"

"Then, the Wei Mansion does not admit strangers, and there are spiritual masters guarding it, so it is not easy to sneak in. Of course, it should be possible to spend a little time and effort, but it is not worth it, after all..." Gao Fei hesitated After a while, I didn't say any more.

"After all, these news are enough, right?" Gu Changqing said.

Gao Fei didn't dare to answer.

Gu Changqing smiled, the excited expression before had disappeared without a trace.

He sat back in his seat, leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Gao Fei was puzzled, waited for a while, and said softly, "Master Eagle?"

"En." Gu Changqing gave a low grace.

Then he said: "Now it seems that this Tang Jie is indeed very suspicious."

"The eagle master, you..."

Gu Changqing slowly opened his eyes: "Since this is the case, I really don't understand why Tang Jie yelled that when he entered school."

"This..." Gao Fei also hesitated.

He thought for a while, and finally said: "My subordinates don't know, but I know that there must be no such reason as the more dangerous the place, the safer."

Gu Changqing laughed: "Don't mention that idiot, I thought about the college's shouting, and there are four possibilities."

"The first possibility is that this is simply a coincidence. This Tang Jie has nothing to do with the Tang Jie we are looking for. He is indeed just trying to show his ambition."

"The second possibility is that this Tang Jie is still not the real Tang Jie. The real Tang Jie is very likely to be hidden among the students under a pseudonym, and he was intentionally paid to do this to attract our attention."

Hearing these two possibilities, Gao Fei frowned. Honestly speaking, he didn't like these two inferences.

Gu Changqing continued: "The third possibility is that he is Tang Jie. The purpose of his shouting is to attract our attention."

"Why?" Goofy asked.

"Yes, why? That's the key!" Gu Changqing said: "If he is really Tang Jie, and he did this on purpose, then I can only give one explanation...he is provoking us on purpose."

"Provoke us?" Gao Fei couldn't believe his ears: "Provoke Tianshen Palace?"

"Youth is loyal and full of vigor, so it's not uncommon for him to do some strange things."

"No matter how vigorous you are, you are not afraid that we will find him?"

"The problem is right here... right here!" Gu Changqing tapped his finger lightly and asked Gao Fei: "Can we catch him now?"

Gao Fei was startled, opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

Gu Changqing laughed lightly: "Yes, we can't! This is the territory of the Xiyue Sect, and he is in the Xiyue College! We can't arrest him, at least we can't go openly."

In the past three years, Tianshen Palace has been looking for people from the Xiyue faction, and there are not many suspected targets.

People like Tang Jie don't say too much, and they don't necessarily mean too little.

There are always some people who look like Tang Jie—it is not only Tang Jie and Ji Ziqian who try their best to get involved in the big families in order to enroll, but there are too many.

There were also impatient people who tried to take action, arrested people and tortured them.

In three years, this kind of thing happened only twice, and each time, Tianshen Palace had to pay a large sum of money to calm the anger of the Moon Cleaners and not drive them all out.

Of course, it doesn't matter if they are really angry or not, the important thing is that the price to calm down the anger is not low!

The price was so high that even Tianshen Palace itself wanted to send someone to warn Gu Changqing that he should not take any more actions without determining the target.

They didn't want to give the Moonwashing faction a third chance to rip off.

"It seems that this is his confidence to provoke, but he also underestimated my Tianshen Palace. He doesn't really think that relying on the academy can rest easy for the rest of his life?" Gao Fei snorted angrily.

"No!" Unexpectedly, Gu Changqing shook his head: "You forgot what I said, there are four possibilities."

"Master Eagle, what do you mean..."

Gu Changqing tapped the table rhythmically and said: "A young man who can make Xu Muyang take him away the first time he sees him; a young man who can let Xu Muyang take care of him after only half a year of getting along; look at him now It seems that he is still a young man who ignored the difficulties and successfully entered the Xiyue Academy. After three years of enduring such a person, he will take the initiative to expose himself and provoke us just for a momentary impulse? As you said, a small elementary school It’s just a kid, can’t we really do nothing to him? No, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe this kid is so stupid! I would rather believe in the first and second possibilities, and I don’t believe in the third possibility!”

"But in your first and second possibilities, he is not Tang Jie."

"That's right, so if he is really Tang Jie, then there must be a fourth possibility..."

"What is it?"

"I don't know." Gu Changqing replied: "This is exactly what I can't understand. If he is really Tang Jie, why would he do this? I know there is a fourth possibility, but I don't know the answer to this possibility. And This answer is very likely to be the real answer..." Gu Changqing touched his forehead and closed his eyes slightly.

Gao Fei knew that this was Gu Changqing's performance when he was in trouble.

Gu Changqing has always held himself in high regard. He thinks that he can see clearly the psychological activities of the hunted target.

But this time, when he assumed that Tang Jie was Tang Jie, he found that he couldn't understand the meaning of Tang Jie's actions at all.

This is the source of his depression.

To some extent, this is also the source of his uneasiness.

If Tang Jie is really Tang Jie, then behind his actions, is there any conspiracy and trap waiting for him?

Gu Changqing must think so.

"Master Eagle, no matter what, Tang Jie is an extremely suspicious target. If you can't figure out something... just do it." Gao Fei said cautiously.

Hearing this, Gu Changqing froze for a moment.

His brows were gradually relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face: "I'm sorry, Gao Fei, I fell into an old problem again. You are right, don't think about things that you can't figure out, and do it first, because the paranoia It would be ridiculous to hold back and do nothing..."

Speaking of this, Gu Changqing took a deep breath, and said seriously: "Promote Tang Jie to a first-class goal. One: Inform our people in the academy that the information about Tang Jie will continue to be suppressed, and don't let the Moon Sect pay attention Come to him. Second, send someone close to him to find out more definite information. Third, look for an opportunity to search his room, and don't let Xue Zilin let it go. If he is really Tang Jie, then the military guide should be near him. As long as you find something , nothing else matters."

"yes!"
