Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Shouldn't we catch one at a time? ...
The outskirts of Feng'an.
The nearby villagers had already given notice in advance and took the initiative to stay away from the mountain where the monster was. No one would go into the mountain to hunt in the next few days.
In the depression in the belly of the mountain, an extremely huge python monster was surrounded by five sword cultivators.
The snake demon roared, and taking advantage of the sword cultivator's unpreparedness, it swung its tail violently. The tail, which was infused with demonic power, came at him with such force that it knocked the sword cultivator closest to it away.
The disciple was not paying attention and was hit in the abdomen. He flew backwards and fell to the ground, spitting out blood.
Companions who were nearby rushed to help.
The monster took the opportunity to open its bloody mouth and bite the other person. Its fangs were extremely poisonous. If bitten, one must use spiritual power to protect the heart meridian and force out the poison immediately, otherwise death is inevitable.
Ling Hanzhang held his sword to block the monster's fangs. His sword was forged through repeated hammering, and with the blessing of his own spiritual power, it was extremely tough and could not be corroded by toxins.
He and the monster were both in the late Nascent Soul stage, and their spiritual power and demonic power were in confrontation, resulting in a stalemate.
Ling Hanzhang was not afraid of the snakehead in front of him, and asked thoughtfully: "Wu Shao! Are you okay?"
Wu Shao was the unlucky swordsman who was injured.
"Senior Brother Ling, I'm fine!" Wu Shao was helped up by his companion Tai Jingyun. He immediately took a pill and his complexion looked a little better.
"It's good that you're okay." Ling Hanzhang pushed the monster back with all his strength, put away his sword and went back to defend, shouting, "Duan Yue, Duan Shuang, prepare to start the battle!"
"yes."
The tall swordsman standing on the left looked at his sister, and the two brothers and sisters started to move at the same time. Wu Shao and the other two also hurriedly returned to their positions, each taking a position, and their momentum gradually increased.
Gu Jingyun was hanging above everyone on his flying sword, following them closely. Whether it was a disciple of the Sword Sect being knocked away by the snake's tail or his own junior fellow apprentice nearly dying at the snake's mouth, he remained indifferent and expressionless.
The so-called experience will not achieve the best results unless it reaches desperate situations.
This is far from the most dangerous moment.
In this training, among the five disciples, only Ling Hanzhang and Duan Yue were in the late Nascent Soul stage, while the others were in the middle or early Nascent Soul stage.
It is so difficult to deal with a demon beast in the late Nascent Soul stage.
Gu Jingyun shook his head in his heart, thinking that he had to practice more, otherwise he might lose to other sects in future sect competitions.
This side.
The five sword cultivators mobilized their spiritual power at the same time.
Ling Hanzhang shouted: "Set up the formation!"
Countless sharp swords seemed to appear in the void, with the tips of the swords pointing directly at the vital points of the monster. The monster suddenly panicked, curled up its snake tail to hide its vital points, and tried to escape in panic.
All directions are restricted by the formation. If you get close, you will be injured by the sword formation. The only things that can be done are in the air and underground...
But there was a sword cultivator flying in the air far above its head. Even if he restrained his breath, the monster could still vaguely sense it - that man's power was stronger than the sword formation that surrounded it, and going up would undoubtedly be a dead end.
Gu Jingyun realized that his presence seemed to be helping to cheat, so he immediately retreated instead of advancing, leaving the monster with space to fly.
The snake demon wanted to cry but had no tears: ...
What's the point of getting out of the way! It can't fly or dig the ground! !
The monster was desperate, and it wanted to pick on the weak. It twisted its body and attacked Wu Shao!
Wu Shao: ...
Me again?
"Hold on yourself." Ling Hanzhang said.
The snake's mouth opened wide.
Wu Shao had no choice but to pick up his sword and fight the snake.
"Sword raised—go!"
Ling Hanzhang took advantage of the monster's unpreparedness, put his two fingers together and waved them, controlling countless sword shadows to pierce the snake's body like lightning.
The monster was seriously injured and rolled over in pain, raising its head high and roaring. The sound waves containing spiritual power spread far away, startling the birds and beasts and shaking the trees.
Amidst the flying dust, Duan Yue and Duan Shuang rushed towards the seven inches of his body that was exposed due to the tumbling.
The brother and sister were in perfect harmony. With one move, "Thunder and Lightning Combined into One", thunder rumbled faintly in the sky, and the two swords pierced into the monster's vital points at the same time. There was also a faint golden lightning jumping on the sword tips.
Ling Hanzhang chopped down with great force from the top of the monster's head, almost splitting the snake's head in half. His posture was heroic. Although it was also a sword technique, it inexplicably made people feel that what he was holding was a knife, not a sword.
Gu Jingyun closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The Duan brothers and sisters practiced the Thunder Sword Art, and the sword intent has begun to show, and they can use it properly. Why can Ling Hanzhang use the elegant "Falling Flowers" as "Guan Gong's Swordplay"? ?
He shouldn't learn sword, it might be more promising for him to learn knife instead.
The monster's breath gradually weakened, and its blood flowed all over the ground, smelling extremely fishy.
Everyone stopped and looked for an empty spot to breathe.
Gu Jingyun sheathed his sword and jumped down from the air.
"Brother."
"Brother Gu."
Seeing this, everyone gathered around, their eyes were either direct or obscure, and their faces were filled with five words - "Am I qualified?"
Gu Jingyun shook the photo bead in his hand: "Although there are still some shortcomings, but... basically I have passed. I will submit the assessment photo to the elders later. The final evaluation will still be decided by the elders."
Everyone knows the rules, but the senior who accompanies the exam is actually one of the examiners. What’s more, the one accompanying you today is the always strict Senior Brother Gu - since Gu Jingyun said that you passed, then you must have passed!
However, before everyone could relax, Gu Jingyun commented on them one by one.
Wu Shao, who was injured due to a moment of laxity, was thinking about Tai Jingyun, who was 60 years old, the Duan brothers and sisters who still lacked sword skills and sword moves, and Ling Hanzhang who still used the sword as a knife.
Everyone listened to the class attentively. Even the most restless Ling Hanzhang did not dare to act rashly and listened to Gu Jingyun's review attentively.
Gu Jingyun was concerned about Jiang Yan who was still waiting for him in the restaurant. He pointed out the key points in just a few words and then announced the end of the assessment. Everyone went back home and found their own mentors.
"Everyone, disperse. I have something else to do, so I won't go back to the sect with you."
Gu Jingyun turned around and was about to leave. Ling Hanzhang waved to the others, "Yes, yes, yes, you guys go back first. My senior brother and I have something else to do."
Gu Jingyun: “?”
Ling Hanzhang shouted, "Brother, I ordered the dishes and paid for them, why can't I eat a single bite? And—"
Gu Jingyun threw a bag of spirit stones at his face and said simply, "Get lost."
After saying that, he flew away on his sword without stopping for even a moment.
Ling Hanzhang quickly caught the bag of spirit stones, tossed it up and down, and said in surprise: "I made a profit!"
That table of food is not priced like this.
The others didn't know what they were arguing about and looked at each other.
"Ling Hanzhang, did you have a fight with Senior Brother Gu?" Duan Yue asked hesitantly.
"We didn't quarrel." Ling Hanzhang said proudly, "I just caught a handle on my senior brother, and he tried to bribe me with money."
Everyone:?
Ling Hanzhang called out, "Let's go! Tell the nearby villagers first, and then set off back to the clan."
Duan Shuang asked: "Didn't you say there was something urgent?"
Ling Hanzhang raised his eyebrows: "Not anymore now."
Everyone: “…………”
Are you really not going to be put in a sack and beaten up one day?
**
Jiang Yan waited in Zuixianlou for a long time, but Gu Jingyun and Ling Hanzhang did not return.
He thought about it, left a message for the waiter, and got up to leave.
Jiang Yan walked around the city and found out that the Hehuan Sect was currently recruiting disciples in Jizhou City for a period of one month, and there were only seven days left.
It would take at least five days to travel from Feng'an City to Jizhou City by horse or carriage.
If you take a spaceship - a refined magical instrument for carrying passengers in the world of immortal cultivation, you can get there within two days, but it will be much more expensive.
If you are reluctant to spend money and are a sword practitioner, you can fly with your sword, but it will consume spiritual energy and the time it takes to arrive depends on how fast you can fly.
Jiang Yan thought about it and decided to take the spaceship.
He asked about the location of the spaceship ticket office, but did not go there immediately. Instead, he went back to Zuixianlou to see if Gu Jingyun had returned.
As expected, Gu Jingyun was waiting for him in Zuixianlou.
"The waiter said you had to leave temporarily for something, so he asked me to wait for you here."
Jiang Yan said vaguely: "I went to find out some things... Was the mission carried out smoothly?"
Gu Jingyun nodded.
Jiang Yan looked around: "Why can't I see Young Master Ling?"
Gu Jingyun said: "After the assessment, they will naturally return to the Sword Sect."
Jiang Yan said "Oh", completely unaware that Ling Hanzhang was driven away by his senior brother with a bag of spirit stones.
He asked with concern: "Killing monsters consumes a lot of energy. Are you hungry?"
Gu Jingyun wanted to say that he was just watching the whole process, but then he thought, what a great opportunity for the two of them to spend time together.
The man nodded immediately: "A little. Will you accompany me?"
Jiang Yan naturally agreed.
But he wasn't hungry, so he just kept him company, considerately picking up the side dishes with his chopsticks so as not to make Gu Jingyun feel uncomfortable.
How could Gu Jingyun feel uncomfortable!
He was so comfortable without the light bulb!
Even if Jiang Yan did nothing and just sat in front of him, Gu Jingyun would be very happy.
Seeing Lady Jiang carefully picking up the peanuts with chopsticks, Gu Jingyun secretly said, "How cute."
Jiang Yan is not talkative, so Gu Jingyun took the initiative to bring up the topic.
"Do you know the origin of the name Zuixianlou?"
Jiang Yan shook his head.
Gu Jingyun smiled and said, "It is said that a thousand years ago, a swordsman passed by a restaurant and was attracted by the aroma of wine, so he went into the store to buy some wine. He got drunk after one drink and fell asleep on the table. While he was half asleep and half awake, an enemy happened to recognize his identity and wanted to kill him when he was not prepared."
Jiang Yan was gradually attracted by the story and asked, "What happened next?"
Gu Jingyun: "The sword immortal is at a high level. Even if he is drunk, his body instincts are still there. How can the thief plot against him? He swung his sword in a half-drunk state, and with just one strike, he cut off the thief's head, and the man had no power to fight back."
Jiang Yan guessed: "So the owner named the restaurant Zuixianlou?"
Gu Jingyun suppressed his laughter and said, "Not only that. In fact, it was because of the sword immortal's sword that not only killed the thief, but also split the restaurant, and most of the wall collapsed."
"After he sobered up, the store owner kept grabbing him and asking him to pay compensation. He felt guilty, but he also felt that it was the thief's fault and that the thief should pay. Unfortunately, he had already killed the man, so he couldn't steal the gold from the corpse, so he had to pay out of his own pocket."
"After the news got out, many people came here to visit. The store owner sensed a business opportunity and used all his connections to find the Sword Immortal and asked him to write the three characters 'Zuixianlou' and hang it above the store door. From then on, the store was renamed Zuixianlou."
Gu Jingyun said: "The plaque contains a trace of the sword spirit of the sword immortal. Later, the sword immortal broke through the void and successfully ascended to heaven. Therefore, more people came here to admire his reputation."
Jiang Yan was confused and said, "But when I looked at the plaque downstairs, there was nothing special about it."
"This is a branch, of course it's just an ordinary plaque. The plaque written by the Sword Immortal is in Dongzhou." Gu Jingyun said.
Jiang Yan was yearning for it and wanted to see the sword spirit of the sword immortal. Probably no sword cultivator would miss such an opportunity, let alone an ascended sword immortal.
"Dongzhou..." Jiang Yan pondered, "Is it where the Sword Sect is located?"
Gu Jingyun nodded and pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "I will be going back to the sect in a few days. Do you... want to come with me?"
But he was in a hurry to go to Jizhou City.
Jiang Yan thought for a few seconds and shook his head: "I can't go."
Gu Jingyun: "…Why?"
Shouldn't this story be accurate?
Jiang Yan explained: "I am going to Jizhou City. There are only seven days left for the Hehuan Sect to recruit students. If I go now, I can still catch up with the end of the Hehuan Sect's recruitment of disciples."
Gu Jingyun doubted his ears for a moment.
"Where are you going?"
"Jizhou City."
"What to do?"
"Joining the Hehuan Sect." Jiang Yan asked in confusion, "This is my ambition. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Why does Young Master Gu have an expression as if his pupils are dizzy?
Gu Jingyun: “…………”
Why do you, a sword cultivator, want to go to the Hehuan Sect?
Isn’t the Sword Sect good?
