Volume 1: Wind Rising From the Mountains and Lakes Chapter 21: Strange Flying Sword
Lin Yi came to Lao Lu's cabin.
Lao Lu, who was chopping firewood, saw Lin carrying a bag of rice and salt on one shoulder and a jar of wine in one hand. He put down the ax in his hand in surprise, and hurriedly stepped forward to help put down the bag of rice, while still mumbling: " Xiaoyi! How long did it take for you to come back around noon, and you brought these heavy rice and salt things with you!
"This is the wine I bought for uncle!" Lin Yi smiled and put the wine jar in front of Lao Lu.
"Haha! Xiao Yi still has his heart!" Looking at the wine jar in front of him, Lao Lu's wrinkled face was filled with sunshine. He was alone in the mountains and also liked to drink some old wine. He was very pleased with Lin Yi's consideration!
"By the way, Xiao Yi, here are some pieces of silver. Take it with you so that it will be more convenient for you when you go to town!" With that said, Lao Lu took out a money bag and stuffed it into Lin Yi's arms.
Gently separating Lao Lu's money bag with his hand, Lin Yi said with a smile: "Uncle! I still have a lot of money on me! I will ask for it from uncle if I don't have it anymore."
Lao Lu still persisted, but seeing that Lin Yi was unmoved, he gave it up and had to say: "Xiao Yi, uncle hunted a mountain deer today. How about packing these things away and trying uncle's craftsmanship in the evening?"
Lin Yi happily agreed, carried the bag of rice and salt into the house, and then helped Lao Lu pack up the wooden house.
…
At night, a small bonfire was burning in front of Lao Lu's wooden house.
There was a deer leg on the bonfire, being grilled by the fire. The browned venison dripped with the aroma of oil and made a "sizzling" sound from time to time. Lao Lu used a knife to cut off a large piece of fragrant deer leg meat and handed it to Lin Yi. The latter took it unceremoniously and took a big bite, making his mouth full of oil.
Lao Lu’s skill at roasting venison is very good. The venison is roasted to a crispy outside and tender inside, with a delicious caramel aroma. He also took a piece of venison and took a bite, chewed it a few times, then picked up the wine bowl and took a sip of wine. Under the firelight, the wrinkles on Lao Lu's face also relaxed a lot.
"Uncle! This roasted venison is so delicious!" Lin praised it while eating.
"Haha, we mountain people, who rely on the mountains to eat, may have a hard life, but we can still eat these delicacies and game all year round!" Seeing the sweetness of Xiao Yi's food, Lao Lu chuckled and said: "Xiao Yi, would you like to take a sip? !”
Under the firelight, Lao Lu's eyes sparkled.
Lin Yi took the wine bowl from Lao Lu, and the strong aroma of wine hit his nostrils. He raised his neck and downed half the bowl of wine. A surge of bitterness and heat penetrated my chest! But when the spiritual energy in the body was circulating, the alcoholic energy suddenly disappeared.
"Hey!" Lin Yi wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeves. When the master drinks, he will also tease himself to take a small sip. He is no stranger to the spicy Qianqiu Fu.
"Haha! Good boy, have fun!" Lao Lu said with a wrinkled face, stroking his short beard and laughing.
"I heard from my uncle last time that my brother Lu is already married. It seems that he will have a grandson soon!" Lin Yi said with a smile.
"Haha! This boy is stupid and blessed. He was attracted by his blacksmith master and betrothed his only daughter to him." Old Lu's hoarse voice also became high-pitched.
"Your uncle is getting older day by day, and his legs and feet are gradually losing their flexibility. It's a pity that your brother Lu doesn't want to live in the mountains..."
"Uncle, let's go live in the town! It's great to have a family!" Seeing Lao Lu's mood drop slightly, Lin Yi consoled him.
"Brother Lu also told me several times, but..." Old Lu poured himself another bowl of wine. With a hint of helplessness in his expression, he continued: "Your uncle's ancestor is also a disciple of Xuanyuan Temple, and I, Lao Lu, also have a passion for Xuanyuan Temple! If I leave to live with my son, the Xuanyuan Temple for these thousand years will You are the only one left!"
Lin Yi couldn't help but lower his head, knowing in his heart that Uncle Lu was worried about him. And the path he wants to take is destined to be a road that is unimaginable for ordinary people. This Xuanyuan Temple is also his home. One day when he travels far away, he will still be unable to let go of this fetter in his heart.
"Uncle! Xiao Yi also has something on his mind." Lin Yi sat in front of the bonfire, his face solemn but his eyes bright. He stared at the bonfire, with a firm look on his face, and said slowly: "I will stay here to honor Master for three years. After three years, just like Master in his early years, he will travel around the world! The decline of Xuanyuan Temple did not happen overnight. . If there is a chance in the future, Xiao Yi will not forget to revive the Xuanyuan Mountain Gate."
At this point, Lin Yi retracted his gaze from the bonfire, smiled, and said with a relaxed smile: "Uncle can leave with peace of mind in the future, and there is no need to worry about Xiao Yi!"
Lin Yi's tone and expression looked nothing like a thirteen-year-old child. Lao Lu saw this and sighed: "Uncle knows that Xiao Yi is no ordinary person, and he also believes that Xiao Yi is like a bird in this valley, and he will definitely fly..."
…
In the valley, there are dots of greenery and fresh green everywhere. Spring comes early again!
Suddenly a long roar came from deep in the valley——!
The whistle is long and high-pitched! Before the whistling sound ended, a faint human figure flashed across the canopy of trees in the valley, like charm and smoke. In the blink of an eye, there was a pause, and a young man, with a smile on his lips, appeared in the valley.
This young man is Lin Yi. He is already sixteen years old and has grown much taller. His figure is still slightly thin, but well-proportioned and tall. The formerly round face became handsome. Especially under a pair of dark eyebrows, his eyes are as bright as stars, and his expression is extraordinary. It's just that the corners of his mouth are raised intentionally or unintentionally, and they don't change their previous expression.
Lin Yi has lived alone in this small valley for nearly three years, meditating and practicing every day. The medicinal power of the purple crystal fruit in his body has also been gradually refined. At this time last year, Xuantian Heart Method finally broke through to the fourth level with difficulty. Today, his cultivation has gone one step further and reached the fifth level of Qi training.
With joy in his heart, Lin Yi vented in the valley. He gently floated to his straw hut, sat down cross-legged, and used his spiritual sense to explore the surprising changes brought by his body. The meridians in his body are wider and tougher, and the spiritual energy in the sea of qi is thicker and more abundant. Since entering the fourth level, the sea of consciousness has become much larger, and the spiritual sense has doubled. With a thought, everything in the area of 70 to 80 feet can be seen.
Lin Yi tilted his head and pondered for a while, with a slight curl of his mouth. He stretched out his hand and the Golden Dragon Sword appeared in his hand. "Xuantian Heart Method" can drive the flying sword when it enters the fourth level. After trying, it can only be driven, and it is not as flexible as using an arm to move a finger. It must be limited by spiritual energy and spiritual sense. Now that I have reached the fifth level of cultivation, my spiritual consciousness and the spiritual energy in my body have doubled, so I should be able to try again.
The Golden Dragon Sword has been sacrificed by Lin Yi once. There is a formula for sacrificing a magic weapon in "Xuantian Heart Method".
With his mind focused, he put the Golden Dragon Sword in front of him, pinched his fingers, and the spiritual power surged. Several rays of light flew out of his hands, and runes could be vaguely seen moving and covering the Golden Dragon Sword. Then he pointed with his finger, and a layer of golden light flashed on the body of the Golden Dragon Sword. The sword body jumped lightly and disappeared in front of him. The next moment, the Golden Dragon Sword made a "buzzing" sound and hovered in the air.
Seeing this, Lin Yi showed a happy expression, but before he could continue to perform, the foot-sized Golden Dragon Sword suddenly flashed a dazzling light and fell to the ground, like a dead fish, and no longer moved.
What happened? The sacrifice of the magic weapon is very simple. Just form your own spiritual consciousness into a spiritual energy rune and inject it into the sword to form a mental imprint. When he reached the fourth level of cultivation, he had once sacrificed the Golden Dragon Sword, and the result was also incongruous. So Lin Yi waited until he reached the fifth level to sacrifice and drive the flying sword again.
But after a year of hard practice, he still couldn't do it. He grinned and thought hard.
It is said in "Xuantian Heart Method" that the fourth level of Qi training can sacrifice and drive the flying sword, which should be correct. But now that his cultivation has reached the fifth level of Qi training, he still can't successfully sacrifice the flying sword. Why is this? Sacrificing a magic weapon is the simplest! Is the method of sacrifice wrong?
Lin Yi took out the Xuanyuan jade pendant again, immersed it in his consciousness and read it carefully several times. It's right! From the formula to the hand formula, it is completely consistent with his method just now, but why doesn't it work?
At this time, he felt helpless. How helpless it is to practice alone. No one can answer or teach, and he can only grope hard by himself. Deep in his heart, he couldn't help but have more expectations for the Great Xia Kingdom where immortal cultivators exist!
In the "Xuantian Heart Method", there are different methods of sacrifice and refining for magic tools, spiritual tools, and magic treasures. Lin Yi was anxious and thought about it, and read it carefully again. Yes! He couldn't help but pat his head. In the jade slip, didn't Xuanyuan Zhenren say that this Golden Dragon Sword might be beyond the existence of spiritual tools, but he used the method of sacrifice and refining for magic tools. Could it be that the mistake occurred here? I tried the method of sacrifice and refining for spiritual tools?
Lin Yi couldn't help but be alert, and read the method of sacrifice and refining for spiritual tools recorded in the heart method again. After confirming that it was correct, he took back the Golden Dragon Sword, sat quietly and concentrated, raised his right hand, squeezed out a drop of blood from his fingertips, and bounced it towards the Golden Dragon Sword.
The bright red blood dripped into the sword and disappeared, and a layer of golden light flashed on the sword body. Lin Yi's fingers flew, and he quickly played the magic formula, and the jumping runes flashed, and quickly covered the Golden Dragon Sword.
The Golden Dragon Sword then made a bang, and the golden light was fluctuating, dazzling. Lin Yi opened his eyes excitedly and looked forward to it.
After the golden light on the Golden Dragon Sword flashed several times, it became silent again.
With a bitter face, Lin Yi stared at the Golden Dragon Sword for a long time, then he still shook his head. He had no idea what to do, so he sighed helplessly.
He took the Golden Dragon Sword with a bit of frustration, feeling depressed.
Could this Golden Dragon Sword be a magic weapon? If it was a magic weapon, it couldn't be sacrificed! Magic weapons are treasures used by Jindan monks, and they can be taken into the body for nourishment. I can't use them now, Jindan monks? They are like living gods. For this reason, Lin Yi couldn't help smacking his lips and smiled bitterly.
His thoughts were flying around, and he was playing with the disobedient Golden Dragon Sword in his hand. Lin Yi turned his head and his consciousness slowly immersed in the Golden Dragon Sword.
Hey! He couldn't help but widen his eyes. It turned out that as soon as his consciousness entered the sword body, it was bounced out by a layer of invisible things. Is there anything else in this sword? Xuanyuan Zhenren's jade slip didn't say it! Could it be that there is still that strange array restriction in the sword body?
Competing in his heart and showing dissatisfaction on his face, Lin Yi immersed his spiritual consciousness into the sword body again.
This time he tried it little by little. In the sword body, an invisible air shield was blocking the entry of his spiritual consciousness.
Lin Yi thought to himself, since Xuanyuan Zhenren can use your Golden Dragon Sword, why can't I? I don't believe it!
From the sword body to the hilt, he used his spiritual consciousness to search everywhere, and carefully inspected the entire Golden Dragon Sword from top to bottom. It seemed that the air shield at the hilt was thinner.
Lin Yi took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and then condensed his spiritual consciousness as thin as a needle, and stabbed it inward with all his strength...
With a loud "bang", his head was piercing, Lin Yi closed his eyes, and a buzzing sound rang in his ears for a long time, and the surroundings gradually calmed down...
His face was a little pale, and he slowly opened his eyes.
The Golden Dragon Sword in his hand was gone...
