Chapter 1556 Leisurely in the Valley
A night of spring breeze.
The next day, when it was just dawn, the boat approached the river.
Now is the spring season, the spring cold has not gone away, and there is still a thick layer of white mist on the river. The morning glow shines on the branches and leaves by the river, reflecting the crystal clear dewdrops.
After a while, the boat docked on the shore.
The river was covered with white mist, and only the outline of the boat could be vaguely seen. There seemed to be a green gourd hanging on the bow of the boat, swaying left and right in the early morning breeze.
In the night that just passed, this gourd rocked back and forth on the bow of the ship countless times? And looking at the faint green light emitting from the gourd mouth, it seems to be sealed by some kind of magic.
Plop!
There was a slight noise on the river bank.
Behind the thatched cottage, two young men and women were lying on the wall, looking towards where the boat was docked.
"Senior Brother Gu, have you seen anything interesting after watching it for so long?"
It was Qingqing who spoke.
Although Liang Yan did not accept her as her disciple, she still regarded Liang Yan as her master in her heart. In private, she and Gu Xingyun were always considered to be of the same sect.
"Don't even think about asking. What are the master's methods? He has set up a barrier on the ship. How can we see it with our strength?"
"Then why do you keep peeking?"
"I" Gu Xingyun was stunned by her question, then blushed and said: "I am the master's apprentice, it is normal to be a little curious, right? Forget it, don't look at any evil, I'd better go back to the dojo Let’s practice sword practice.”
After saying that, he really jumped off the wall, turned around and walked in the direction of the kendo dojo.
"Hey, don't leave, senior brother!"
Qingqing grabbed Gu Xingyun and said with a smile: "I won't tell Master about your peeping. Please tell me, what are Master and Mistress doing in the boat? Why haven't you been there all night? come out?"
"How do I know!" Gu Xingyun said in a rough voice.
"Oh, my good senior brother!"
Qingqing acted coquettishly, holding Gu Xingyun's arm with both hands, with a pitiful expression: "Brother, just tell me, people are really curious, what on earth are master and master doing there? Why did the gourd on the bow of the boat shake all night?"
Pretending to be pitiful is Qingqing's special skill, and it only works well for Gu Xingyun. She didn't know it at first, until she was stabbed by Gu Xingyun while practicing swordplay, which frightened the senior brother so much that he turned pale. From then on, Qingqing knew that this method could be used at critical moments.
Gu Xingyun was a little embarrassed by her question. After thinking for a moment, he could only answer vaguely: "You don't understand. This is something done between Taoist couples."
"Taoist couple?" Qingqing tilted her head and said to herself, "Will senior brother and Qingqing become Taoist partners in the future? Will we also do this kind of thing?"
"Stop it, stop it!"
Gu Xingyun's face became more and more embarrassed, and just as he was about to say something else, he caught a glimpse of a green light speeding from the riverside out of the corner of his eye.
"Huh?"
Before Gu Xingyun could react, the green light had already hit the wall in front of them. For a moment, the soil splashed, and a powerful force surged in, knocking both of them off the wall.
"ah!"
Qingqing screamed and fell into the mud with Gu Xingyun.
"what happened"
Qingqing stood up from the ground. Before she could figure out the situation, she was grabbed by Gu Xingyun beside her and flew towards the dojo.
"Master has discovered us. This is a warning. If we don't leave, our skin will peel off!"
Gu Xingyun led Qing Qing and ran wildly. Thinking of his master's terrifying sword energy, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
On the river bank, in the boat.
Wu Xin leaned in Liang Yan's arms, his face was lazy and content.
"You two young apprentices have already reached the sword-gang stage in just twenty years. It seems that their qualifications are not bad."
"The qualifications are acceptable, but they don't follow the right path. They came here to take a peek in the middle of the night. I should have locked their meridians and hung them on the tree for three days and three nights." Liang Yan said calmly.
After Wu Xin heard this, he chuckled.
"You are just talking about it, but in your heart you are very fond of these two apprentices, right? You must take Gu Xingyun out. As for Qingqing, you have tried so hard to arrange this marriage. I'm afraid you also want to Did she kidnap you?"
"Qingqing is a physical body made up of weapon spirits. She is born with a strong affinity for flying swords. She is a good candidate for practicing swords."
Liang Yan pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "It's just that she is part of Xuan Mizhu after all. Shennong Hu may not let her go. This is why I have never agreed to accept a disciple."
"Haha, let nature take its course."
Wu Xin leaned on Liang Yan's shoulder and drew circles on his chest with her white jade-like fingers, looking a bit drunk and not interested in drinking.
"Are you worried?" Liang Yan asked with raised eyebrows.
"I'm thinking." Wu Xin's voice was soft and numb, and he whispered in Liang Yan's ear: "I heard that Tao gives birth to one, which gives birth to two, and two gives rise to all things. All things carry yin and embrace yang, so that yin and yang meet. The harmony of water and milk is for attaining the Tao. Ah!"
Before Wu Xin finished speaking, he found himself being picked up from the waist, and the next moment he was already on the bed.
She knew it well, and with a smile on her face, she fell down and did not forget to add:
"Those words just now were not said by me, but by the stinky Taoist priest of your human race. Hmm."
Under the morning glow, the spring breeze blows on the boat again.
Light and shadow pass by, and time leaves no trace.
Life in the valley is like a paradise, quiet and peaceful, and at the same time full of warmth.
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed since Wu Xin left seclusion.
During the past ten years, Liang Yan and Wu Xin lived together in a cottage. Whenever they had free time, they would go boating on the lake, walk in the woods, or make tea in the snow. They looked like lovers in the world. , enjoying the hard-won quiet time.
Sometimes, two people will cultivate both Yin and Yang and achieve enlightenment together.
Every time after Wushan Yunyu, the two of them would be surprised to find that their skills had improved a lot without knowing it.
At the beginning, both Liang Yan and Wu Xin were a little confused, but as time went by, they gradually came to their senses.
Back then, Ling Zi and Shen Nong Tuo were a Taoist couple. "Ziwei Heavenly Killing True Technique" originally had many shortcomings, but after the two were combined, Shennong Tuo improved this technique for Ling Zi based on what he had learned and thought.
Therefore, "Ziwei Heavenly Killing True Technique" and "Shennong Emperor Sutra" have many complementary and interoperable points. Although the two techniques cannot be said to be of the same origin, they are inextricably linked.
Wu Xin practiced the "Ziwei Heavenly Killing True Art", and Liang Yan practiced the "Shennong Emperor Sutra". Both of their physiques have changed. It is not surprising that they can feel each other during the dual cultivation.
Ten years pass with the snap of a finger.
Apart from accompanying Wu Xin, Liang Yan spent almost all the rest of his time studying his own swordsmanship.
That night, outside the thatched cottage, Liang Yan stood with his hands behind his back.
Beside him, wisps of thunder and lightning power were densely surrounding him, making "crackling" sounds from time to time.
The nearby vegetation had long been turned into ashes, and even the space was somewhat distorted. Wherever one looked, there was only a magic cloud left, quietly suspended in the air.
At this moment, Liang Yan suddenly opened his eyes.
A sword light flashed out from behind him. The sword light contained the power of thunderbolt. It was fierce and domineering and unstoppable, as if it was a annihilating divine punishment that wanted to wash away all the filth in this world!
The sword light shot straight into the sky, and the demonic cloud above seemed to be aware of it, and immediately separated half of it to block it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the demon cloud approached, it was stabbed by the thunderous sword light. Countless sword energies rushed out and turned into electric snakes, instantly splitting the demon cloud into countless purple mist the size of fingernails. .
brush!
The sword light turned in mid-air, and the yang energy turned into yin, and turned into feminine thunder, which sprinkled down from mid-air, covering the remaining half of the magic cloud.
The demonic cloud saw the change and twisted in mid-air. After a moment, four demonic figures appeared, holding various weapons to fight against the sky.
Boom!
The sword light fell and turned into Taiyin Divine Thunder, like a vast ocean, swallowing up the four demon heads in an instant.
The demon fought hard to resist, but the sword energy was too overbearing. Each sword seemed to be scraping away the bones and flesh. In just a few breaths, the four demons were beheaded to pieces.
"do not fight!"
There was a scream in the air, and then a gorgeous woman appeared from the dark night and landed gently in the courtyard of the thatched cottage.
Liang Yan opened his eyes, looked back at the woman in the courtyard, and couldn't help but smile.
"Hurry up and put away the flying sword!" Wu Xin rolled his eyes at him and feigned anger.
Liang Yan didn't say anything more. He raised his hand and pinched the magic formula, then put the Purple Thunder Tianyin Sword back into the Taixu Gourd.
"I promised to accompany you to try the sword, but the power of your sword technique is too strong. I was not careful just now, and you killed all the four demon gods that I worked hard to practice. I wasted two years of my time!" Wu Xin said angrily.
"Sorry, sorry!"
Liang Yan touched his nose and looked a little embarrassed.
"I have just mastered my swordsmanship, and I am not able to use it freely enough. I can release it but not retract it. I wanted to avoid that move just now, but I couldn't grasp it for a moment, and it actually destroyed the Demon God you worked so hard to cultivate. I'm really sorry."
"Hmph! You also know that it is not easy for me to cultivate these demon gods. How are you going to compensate me?" Wu Xin said reluctantly.
Liang Yan originally felt guilty, but when he looked up, he saw Wu Xin looking at him with a smile, with a sly look on his eyes and brows.
"Okay, it seems I have to 'dedicate myself to death' tonight!"
Liang Yan laughed, walked up to Wu Xin, and was about to pick her up by the waist, when the tips of his ears moved and he heard the sound of breaking through the air in the distance.
"No, the annoying guy is here." Liang Yan sighed.
"I've never seen you dislike your apprentice's master so much." Wu Xin covered his mouth and smiled, with Liang Yan's shadow in his eyes.
While they were talking, the light was approaching, and it was Gu Xingyun and Qingqing who landed outside the courtyard.
"Master!"
"Brother Liang!"
The two of them bowed at the same time, with a hint of excitement on their faces.
"Look at how happy you are." Liang Yan glanced at the two of them and said lightly: "The sword energy I left in the dojo is not strong. Even if you can fight out of the dojo within three days, it doesn't mean that you His practice has passed."
After hearing this, Gu Xingyun hurriedly shook his head and said: "Master, we are not happy because we have escaped from the dojo, but we are happy for the master. Just now we saw the sword energy thundering from a distance, I guess it is the master who has successfully enlightened." Developed his own way of swordsmanship"
"Yeah yeah!"
Before Gu Xingyun could finish his words, Qingqing shouted: "The sword energy just now scared me to death. Qingqing guessed that Brother Liang must have succeeded! After all, you said you would create a sword technique ten years ago. We have been waiting for ten years, and today we can finally see each other, can we not be happy?"
After listening to what the two people said, Liang Yan's face gradually relaxed.
"It's hard for you to have such a heart." Liang Yan nodded slightly, then sighed and said, "It's a pity that I can't pass on this set of swordsmanship to you, because none of you are suitable to practice it."
"Then what is the name of this sword technique created by Master?" Gu Xingyun asked.
"Third Son Sword."
"Tianzi Sword?"
There was a trace of doubt on Gu Xingyun's face, and he didn't seem to understand very well.
In fact, thunder is a punishment from heaven.
"Three Heavenly Sons" means the three great divine thunders: Zhanxie, Taiyin, and Wugou!
As early as ten years ago, Liang Yan understood the law of thunder and lightning from the "Shenxiao Seal", and at the same time integrated the power of this law with his own swordsmanship, creating his own "Shenxiao Sword Seal" in his body!
In the past ten years, Liang Yan used the "Shenxiao Sword Seal" to continuously deduce and try out moves, and finally created a brand new sword technique, named "Tianzi Sword".
This set of swordsmanship can switch back and forth between the three major divine thunders. When it moves, it is like a thunderbolt, killing evil and destroying gods; when it disperses, it is like the water of the twelfth moon, vast and powerful; when it condenses, it is like a pure body, untouched by all things.
It can be said that "Tianzi Sword" has fully utilized the characteristics of the three divine thunders. Not only is there no conflict at all, but it also changes as desired and is infinitely powerful!
Of course Liang Yan would not elaborate on the details.
He glanced at Gu Xingyun, then at Qingqing, and said calmly: "You two have been practicing with me for some time. Please display the sword's strength and let me see it."
"yes!"
Gu Xingyun was the first to agree. He squeezed the sword secret in his hand, and a black heavy sword flew out. The sword energy surged and turned into a sword, which was ten feet long.
When Liang Yan saw this scene, his expression was noncommittal, and he turned his attention to Qingqing again.
Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled, and also made a sword gesture. A flying sword as thin as a willow branch flew out. The sword energy was green and turned into a sword, which was only three feet long.
"good!"
Seeing Qingqing's flying sword, Liang Yan nodded slightly.
"Sword cultivation is divided into seven levels. After the 'Sword Gang Stage' is the 'Jian Pill Stage'. If you want to condense the sword into a pill, the first thing you have to do is to compress the sword gang! The longer the sword gang is, the better it seems. It seems to be amazingly powerful. In fact, the power is scattered, and only by compressing the sword to within one foot can it be possible to condense the sword into a pill and take a further step on the path of swordsmanship."
These words were like a basin of cold water poured on Gu Xingyun's head.
He glanced at Qingqing's "Green Leaf Sword" and then at his own "Zhenxie". The difference between the strength of the two swords was huge, so he obviously lost again.
