Chapter 758: A Wake-Up Call to Get Rid of the Evildoer

Seeing the name of this swordsmanship, Xiang Bao couldn't help but think: "Could it be a swordsmanship passed down from gods?"

The Land of Treasures was once the outskirts of the Western Wilderness, and there were many monks coming and going. In addition, there were several small sects in Yunliu City, which ruled the surrounding areas from a high position. Therefore, Xiang Bao, who had just tempered his body at a young age, was very important to him. It is somewhat clear what a "god" is.

"Wandering across the East China Sea and the Western Wasteland at dusk, waving hands and shaking hands, looking at things for a long time, one retreat is worth an ordinary person's life..." Many thoughts appeared in Xiang Bao's mind, and his heart couldn't help but become hot. He quickly took a few steps forward to record the door. He picked up the jade slip of swordsmanship and concentrated on sensing the content at the beginning.

"By chance, Yu witnessed a real immortal slaying a demon in the depths of the vast sea. The magic of the immortal's swordsmanship has transformed the vast starry sky. This is something I have only seen in my life and rarely come across in my dreams."

"Xi Yu's cultivation is low and he is ignorant. When he comes back and thinks about it, he can't save it. He can only take the profound part and evolve it into this sword technique. Because of its origin, the sword technique is named 'Sword of the Stars taught by Immortals'. I hope my disciples can gain some insights from it and gain some of the essence of the immortal swordsmanship, and this swordsmanship cannot be taught unless it is truly taught."

"When I think about the immortal swordsmanship, I can't take a closer look at the vast, majestic, and exquisite last sword. It's sad! It's a pity! It's a pity!"

"At three o'clock on the fifth day of September, Tao Bantang recorded it in Guanjin Garden."

Seeing the words recorded at the beginning, Xiang Bao's face suddenly showed an uncontrollable smile, "The real inheritance of immortal swordsmanship! The real inheritance of immortal swordsmanship!" Even after watching from the sidelines, there is absolutely no trace of it. It was also performed by a true immortal, how could it be ordinary!

"I wonder which true immortal's swordsmanship it will be..." Xiang Bao's thoughts fluctuated, thinking about the spectacular and vast scene of immortals slaying demons that Patriarch Tao had witnessed back then, and he longed for it.

But when he thought about these words again and again, Xiang Bao was suddenly startled and extremely disappointed: "If it is not a true teaching, it cannot be taught, and if it is not a true teaching, it cannot be taught..." It was not easy to find a peerless swordsmanship, but it turned out that he could not practice it at home.

At this time, Lu Nanliu, the senior disciple who was guarding the classics building, deliberately walked over and said mockingly: "Junior Brother Xiang, you really have a good sense. You actually chose this discipline. Since Patriarch Tao, no one has successfully practiced it for more than seven thousand years." When it comes to swordsmanship, should I say it’s better to have great ambitions or to be ignorant?”

Such a tone deeply stimulated Xiang Bao. He had not yet started to practice the visualization method, so he couldn't help but retort: ​​"If the predecessors can't practice it, does it mean that I can't practice it?"

After a pause, he realized another hidden meaning in Lu Nanliu's words: "You mean, you can choose this sword technique?"

Lu Nanliu maintained a sarcastic attitude: "Of course you can choose. Since our Iron Sword Sect was destroyed once and the Zhongxing Patriarch resumed the inheritance, he has regarded this sword technique as an ordinary sword technique. Since there are no true disciples who can learn it, it is better to let the majority of disciples learn it. Practice to see if you can be mastered by geniuses. Over the past thousands of years, I don’t know how many new disciples like you, junior brother, have thought that they are the protagonists in myths, legends and stories, and that they can conquer others for thousands of years. They can easily practice things that they can't learn, but in the end they all regret it and feel that the opportunity to choose sword skills was wasted. "

Then he looked sideways at Xiang Bao: "So I advise Junior Brother Xiang not to have any wishful thinking. How can the immortal swordsmanship be so easy to master?!"

Being ridiculed one after another by Lu Nanliu, Xiang Bao accumulated deep anger in his heart, and he really yearned for this swordsmanship, so he pursed his lips and said, "Junior brother, I don't need you to worry about it."

When watching Xiang Bao exchange the "Immortal Star Sword" engraved jade slip and leave, Lu Nanliu couldn't help laughing: "This kind of stupid boy can't stand being provoked. When he regrets it, he doesn't want to think about what Patriarch Tao has achieved." At that time, he was a master of the soul!"

…………

A few days later, Xiang Bao came out of the Iron Sword Preaching Hall with a pale face, and many disciples around him were pointing.

"I heard that he chose the "Immortal Sword of the Stars"?" A female disciple smiled coquettishly and whispered to her companions.

"You really don't know how high the world is. So many predecessors and sages have not been able to practice it for thousands of years. Does he think he is a peerless swordsmanship genius like Shi Tianjun of the Penglai sect?" A tall and thin male disciple sneered. He had mastered sword energy as soon as he became a soul. Lei Yin, who could be separated by the light of a sword before he became a golden elixir, is now a immortal who has attained immortality, lives as long as the heavens, and is aloof. Such a figure usually only appears once every hundreds of thousands of years.

Another female disciple who came over smiled and said: "It seems that he has made no progress in the past few days. No wonder his face is so bad."

"Xuanqing, you don't know. After the sermon just now, Xiang Bao asked Uncle Li for advice on "The Immortal Sword of the Stars", but he was blocked by Uncle Li saying, 'I don't know how high the sky is, I haven't even mastered it, how can I give you some advice?' Hahaha." "It's really satisfying." Lv Nanliu Zhi laughed proudly, "I want to see what kind of swordsmanship Xiaobi uses in half a year. If he comes in last, he will be expelled from the sect. "

When Xiang Bao heard these words, he staggered and almost fell, causing the whole audience to burst into laughter. He was confused and frightened in his heart. The "Immortal Sword of the Stars" begins with the "Ten Thousand Stars Diagram" as its general outline. Just by looking at it, you will know everything. Feeling dizzy and mentally drained, he naturally did not dare to continue practicing and kept thinking about it in his mind. Once he did not think about the Ten Thousand Stars Map, the subsequent sword techniques would either be impossible to practice or would be just a charade.

"It is said that for thousands of years, all the disciples who chose the "Immortal Sword of Stars" failed at this level." Xiang Bao thought dejectedly, "What should I do for the Xiaobi in half a year? Should I choose another sword technique? But I don't have spirit stones. Even if I complete the sect's mission, it will take several months to change to a new one. It's too late."

Xiang Bao, with a pale face and a lost soul, walked back to his home in a daze. This is a very dilapidated courtyard. His parents saved money and worked hard day and night to let him train his body since he was a child and join the Iron Sword Sect. If Xiaobi was expelled, how could he face them!

Just after closing the gate, there was a knock on the door. Xiang Bao numbly opened the gate and saw a young Taoist priest in green robes outside. He could not help but come back to his senses: "Master, knock on the door, what's the matter?"

"I passed by here and was a little thirsty, so I came to ask for a drink of water. Please make a good relationship with me." Shi Xuan smiled slightly. The idea of ​​separation was not magical, but it could be dissipated at will, and he was not afraid of being caught by those who coveted it and searched for it.

Xiang Bao said "Oh", numbly scooped half a bucket of water for the young Taoist priest in front of him, and continued to think about his dark future.

"I see that your forehead is black and your eyes are dull. I'm afraid that disaster is coming."

Xiang Bao was absent-minded. Hearing the young Taoist drinking water and shaking his head, he was about to get angry, but he was stunned and lost in thought. "How does he know that I am in trouble? Could he be a senior monk who is good at calculating the secrets of heaven?"

He looked at the young Taoist with half disbelief and half expectation: "Master, I wonder where my disaster comes from?"

"I didn't want to say it, but since I drank your water, I will give you a few pointers." Shi Xuan nodded gently, "Ambition is great but talent is poor, and the future is cut off."

If it were normal, Xiang Bao would turn around and leave after hearing this sentence, cursing himself! But at this moment, Xiang Bao was like being struck by lightning, and a trace of luck disappeared. In addition, he was a child in his teens, and his eyes became moist: "Master, please help me avoid disasters and survive this disaster." He really hit the mark!

Shi Xuan smiled, knocked on the wooden door three times, left the words "Chenghuang Temple" and turned away, leaving Xiang Bao unable to catch up.

Xiang Bao was very disappointed to see the young Taoist leave, but in a blink of an eye, he thought of the words he left behind and couldn't help thinking hard. After a long time, he heard his father and mother come back and said that they had to go out to sell goods at five o'clock tomorrow.

"Five o'clock? The Taoist knocked three times, could it be three o'clock, asking me to go to Chenghuang Temple at three o'clock?!" Xiang Bao jumped up.

…………

In the middle of the night, the night wind blew, carrying a trace of yin energy, making Xiang Bao, a half-grown child, a little trembling. He muttered to himself: "I have strong blood and energy, I am not afraid of ghosts..." while groping towards Chenghuang Temple.

After finally reaching the City God Temple, seeing the faint light of fire in this long-abandoned temple, he felt relieved, but also nervous: "Will the Taoist priest trick me out and eat me?" It is said that many evil monks love to eat human flesh and human hearts.

But thinking of the competition in half a year, Xiang Bao closed his eyes and walked into the City God Temple, where he saw the young Taoist priest sitting cross-legged in front of a fire.

"Please save me, Taoist priest." Xiang Bao knelt down.

Shi Xuan nodded: "You can come here at three o'clock in the morning, so you have a chance. Tell me about your disaster in detail."

Xiang Bao hurriedly told the story, and finally said: "Please let me learn the "Immortal Sword of Stars" or show me where to find another sword technique."

"You mean, you feel dizzy when you look at the Ten Thousand Stars Map, so you don't continue to practice?" Shi Xuan fiddled with the fire.

Xiang Bao nodded: "How can I continue to practice if I am shaken by just looking at it?"

"This is the secret of your sect, so I am not in a position to watch it, but I can give you some pointers. If you follow the instructions, you may be able to learn the "Sword of the Stars Granted by the Immortals." Shi Xuan said with a faint smile.

Xiang Bao kowtowed and said: "Please give me some pointers, Taoist priest."

Shi Xuan pointed to a mountain outside Yunliu City that was raised by the Rakshasa God: "If you can dig a way over the mountain, you can naturally learn the "Sword of the Stars Granted by the Immortals."

Xiang Bao was stunned. The mountain was a thousand feet high, and there were cliffs everywhere. There was no road. No mortal could climb over it. It was as difficult as climbing to the sky for him to dig a way over the mountain. Even if he spent all his family wealth, recruited people, and dug until his life was exhausted, he could not even think of completing half of it!

He murmured to himself: "Master, don't tease me."

"You are the only one allowed. It's up to you to dig or not." Shi Xuan shook his head and stopped talking.

Xiang Bao pleaded again and again, but there was no response, so he returned home in despair and stayed awake all night.

Seeing the sky getting bright, Xiang Bao tossed and turned: "If I can't practice swordsmanship, I will be expelled from the sect. If I am expelled from the sect, I will have no face to see my parents. It's better to die. Since I'm going to die, I might as well try what the Taoist said and dig a little. At least I can't give up. After a few days, if it doesn't work, I will think of other ways."

Once he made up his mind, Xiang Bao picked up a hammer, a hoe, etc. and headed for the mountains.

There was a road at the foot of the mountain, winding upwards. Xiang Bao followed it all the way to the mountainside, and then the road was cut off, and a huge rock blocked it in front.

"Dig!" Xiang Bao took a hoe and started digging the foundation around the boulder. Occasionally, when there was a hard and difficult place to dig, he would use a hammer to break it. With his body at the peak of physical training, he worked until sunset and finally dug the boulder into a shaky state.

He gritted his teeth, pressed his hands against the boulder, suddenly exerted his strength, and with a bang, the boulder rolled to the side.

Just as Xiang Bao was sweating profusely and preparing to observe the terrain and dig a road again tomorrow, he found that there was another road behind the boulder, so he was surprised and walked along the road.

The night was dark and the stars were twinkling, casting down patches of cool light. Xiang Bao stood at the end of the road, unable to believe where he was.

"This is the foot of the mountain on the other side! It's so easy to dig a road over the mountain!" Xiang Bao muttered to himself, "How is this possible?!"

"It is easy to be confused by the appearance of all things before you practice them yourself. When you see the mountains are steep and steep, you think it is difficult to dig the road over the mountain, but what is the reality? It is not as difficult as the appearance, and it can be done in a day "Xiang Bao looked at the green-robed Taoist priest and said calmly, "You don't even dare to try to think about the Ten Thousand Stars Diagram. Aren't you just confused by its appearance? It prevents you from practicing "Immortal". "The Sword of the Stars" was given not because of the difficulty, but because of the huge stone in your heart!"

"You dug out this huge rock in the mountain today, but you still can't dig out the huge stone in your heart!" Shi Xuan shouted softly.

Xiang Bao felt as if he had been given a slap in the face, and he was enlightened, "Yes, I have never even tried to think about it. It is difficult to talk about swordsmanship. Even if you cannot successfully imagine all the Ten Thousand Stars Map, you can still imagine part of it. In the sky , they all have to be divided into stars and horoscopes!”

He suddenly turned over and knelt down: "Thank you, Taoist Master, for your guidance!" His gratitude was beyond words.

Shi Xuan nodded and put away his aura of enlightenment.
