Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Junior Brother Bai Lu, now we can use our sword...
Bai Lu's breathing was even, and it was obvious that she was sleeping soundly.
Huo Xuexiang felt his heartbeat almost echoing in his ears, but he couldn't move, otherwise he would disturb Bai Lu's sleep. He had carried Bai Lu back to the room before, but he never thought so much.
With complicated thoughts still wandering around, Huo Xuexiang flipped through the book in his hand, but the words did not touch his heart.
Bai Lu went even further, rubbing his soft cheek and wrapping her arms around Huo Xuexiang. This was Bai Lu's habit when sleeping, often wrapping her arms around a pillow or other objects, and taking whatever she could get.
Huo Xuexiang hardly dared to lower his head to pay attention to Bai Lu because of this presence, but when a gust of wind blew, he couldn't help but sweep his mind over it, and the wind brushed across his delicate, slightly upturned nose and his soft, rosy lips.
I flipped through more than a dozen pages of the book and had no idea what I read.
It was not until half an hour later that Bai Lu slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were dull and a little tired, as if she had no idea where she was.
"Hmm?" Bai Lu gradually came back to her senses. She didn't know how she fell asleep. It had been a long time since she had listened to her master reading. Did his voice help her sleep? It was even easier to sleep than the advanced math class.
And he didn't know how he fell asleep in his master's arms, with Huo Xuexiang's cold aura lingering around him. Oh, this posture seems... a bit disrespectful, right?
Even in the open modern world, it is not possible to sleep with someone in your arms like this. Bai Lu felt a little embarrassed.
But he noticed that the master was calmly turning over a page of the book. Eh, could it be that the master thought that this was also the custom in his hometown, so he was embarrassed to open it?
It would be awkward if I brought it up now.
While Bai Lu was thinking, another two minutes had passed...
Well.
When you just wake up, your brain works slower.
Bai Lu slowly got up, her eyes wandering: "I accidentally fell asleep."
"Didn't you get enough rest in the secret realm? You weren't this sleepy even on the way." The master seemed indifferent and even thought of an excuse for him.
"...Yes!" After hearing this, Bai Lu realized that he was sleeping so soundly, "I know my own bed!"
He was a bit attached to his bed, and he would even take his pillow with him when he went out. He was always uneasy in the secret realm, thinking a lot, and his mind was always tense. He rested but it was difficult to have a deep sleep. Even on the way back, he didn't completely relax.
It was not until we returned to Dianmeifeng that we seemed to have finally reached a safe area, and we even dozed off without realizing it.
But after he finished speaking, Bai Lu felt that there seemed to be some ambiguity. How could he recognize the bed and also recognize the master? Haha, but he is an outsider, and the master knows it.
"I felt like you read something when I fell asleep, Master?" Bai Lu went to look at the book in Huo Xuexiang's hand.
Huo Xuexiang had already copied out some useful content and wanted to hand it to him, but then he thought better of reading it himself and translating the difficult parts.
"It's too mysterious, just like the Qingdi Secret Realm, which hasn't appeared for many, many years..." Bai Lu said, and suddenly thought of something, "Hey, Master, do you think the Qingdi Secret Realm is hard to find, or the Wu Clan's location is hard to find?"
Huo Xuexiang: "You mean...?"
"Can we find the Wu Clan through the ground network?" Bai Lu was already dreaming, "Or I can ask those relatives from the Wood Clan to send me a message. Since Lingshan is a mountain, there must be plants."
"Theoretically, it is possible, but it still requires practice." Speaking of this, Huo Xuexiang reminded, "Your mind and realm are not equal now, because the absorption of spiritual energy requires hard work. One day when you have accumulated enough spiritual energy, your realm will naturally rise. But your 'magic power' seems to have benefited from the growth of your mind, so you can continue to try."
"Yeah, I thought of that, too... I can't suddenly realize and skip a level." Bai Lu counted carefully, and he really had a lot of things to do. He was still collecting clues about the Wu clan, the Qingdi Jue needed to be repaired, and the staff was not finished. This caused him to have some of the same feelings as Liang Mangu when he first started cultivating immortals. How could I not suddenly realize and soar to a higher level? I have been away for so long, and I am still in the Foundation Establishment stage when I return.
There’s one more!
Bai Lu pulled up her sleeves, revealing the flower on her wrist, and looked at Huo Xuexiang: "Master, I almost forgot about this and haven't dealt with it yet. If I keep it, I'll really become half a Wood Clan member."
Bai Lu was always afraid that he would accidentally prick it one day. This was similar to his own touch, and he was really afraid of the sudden pain. The key point was not the pain, but the suddenness.
Huo Xuexiang held his delicate wrist and his fingers brushed over the white flowers.
Because of the connection with Xiaohua, Bailu felt itchy and shrank, subconsciously trying to pull her hand back. But Huo Xuexiang instantly exerted force and held it very tightly, so she couldn't pull it back. Her wrist was firmly fixed on Huo Xuexiang's knee. It was different from his usual indulgence, and it was rarely strong, but it was also for Bailu.
"How, how should I do it?" Bai Lu paused for a rare moment.
Huo Xuexiang input his spiritual power and carefully "anesthetized" the flower, then separated it from Bai Lu. The thin flower along with a piece of flower stem fell off Bai Lu's wrist without any damage to the epidermis, all thanks to the precise control of spiritual power.
For Bai Lu, it was just a numbness in his wrist, and then he separated without feeling anything, and the feeling of connection seemed to disappear. He pinched the flower stem between his fingers, and suddenly felt that it was somewhat similar to his red willow flower ring.
"Huh?" Bai Lu had an idea and tried to circle the flower stem and fix it. In the same way, she started her handicraft and wrapped it into a ring. Then, for the first time, she openly used magic in front of Huo Xuexiang himself to preserve the ring. It looked completely natural.
The red willow ring on Bai Lu's finger is a circle of overlapping flowers, while the white flower ring has only a few jade-like flowers between the green stems. One is complex and the other is simple, one is red and the other is white.
Bai Lu originally wanted to put it on himself, but he not only had the red willow ring on his hand, but he was also wearing a gemstone ring today, and having another one would be too much.
With a thought in mind, Bai Lu said, "Master, would you like to try?"
Huo Xuexiang has always been plain and simple, but after hesitating for a moment, he took the white flower ring from Bai Lu and put it on his index finger. It fit perfectly and was very simple, so simple that it was hard to notice it at a glance.
"It fits very well." Bai Lu said with satisfaction, "By the way, Master, what is the meaning of this ring?"
"If it's a decoration, it depends on the shape of the craftsmanship. If it's made into a ring, it can be used to draw a bow to prevent the hand from being strangled. Because the ring is a concentric circle, it can also be used as... a token of love." Huo Xuexiang knew that Bai Lu must be using it as a decoration. He had seen Bai Lu wearing many kinds of rings.
Bai Lu laughed when she heard the last one, "This is a coincidence. In my hometown, many people also use rings as a token of marriage, but it must be worn on the ring finger. Wearing it on the index finger like Master means that you are single and waiting for your soulmate."
Huo Xuexiang: “…”
Seeing that Huo Xuexiang seemed to want to move the ring, Bai Lu immediately said: "The middle finger symbolizes engagement, and the little finger means that you don't want to be with anyone."
"..." Huo Xuexiang asked speechlessly, "What's the point of wearing it on so many fingers like you?"
Bai Lu smiled proudly: "I am rich!"
Huo Xuexiang couldn't help but laugh.
.
Several peak masters gathered together. They all came to see Boluan Xianjun, hoping that he would speak to Huo Xuexiang on their behalf so that everyone could see Bai Lu's Qingdi Jue. After they arrived, they found that everyone had the same idea.
This Qingdi Jue is a relic of the Qing Emperor. Who wouldn't be curious? They also want to hear Bai Lu talk in detail about what is in the secret realm.
This means that neither academics nor gossip should be delayed.
As they haven't seen Bai Lu and Qingdi Jue Benjue yet, everyone even started discussing their own speculations.
Xu Zuichan stepped into the room and smelled the faint fragrance of elixir before he heard Xue Danxing's voice. All the alchemists were immersed in the aroma.
"Oh, Zuichan is here, you've got a good disciple too..." Xue Danxing said sourly, "Although he's only at the Foundation Establishment stage, his reputation has spread all over the world, and he's on par with Xuandu's Youyue."
Xu Zuichan was the deputy peak master of Tianquan Peak, Liang Mangu's master, and his face was pale at this moment. After all, Liang Mangu did break into the second level, and the magic tools he refined were also very popular, but the saying of "equally matched"...
Xu Zuichan chuckled: "Uncle Xue is not bad either. Your favorite disciple Bai Lu also shined in the Red Dust Trial at the Foundation Establishment Stage and made a name for our Xuanshan."
Xue Danxing: “…”
Xue Danxing's heart was hurt again.
Chongming Yuanjun wanted to comfort her, but he felt heartbroken when he thought about how Bai Lu won the second level with the sword talisman.
Xu Zuichan still didn't give up. After all, it was rare for him to see Uncle Xue suffer losses. As for the usually generous Chongming Yuanjun... he couldn't care less. Senior Sister, please be patient.
"Caiqing, you were there when Hongchen was testing his sword, come and tell us about the situation at that time." Xu Zuichan raised his hand.
"Yes, uncle." Meng Caiqing stood up and began to talk seriously about Bai Lu's performance in the arena, starting with the spiritual medicine passing the first level!
Xue Danxing: “…………”
It's really unbearable to live like this... it's so heartbreaking!
But Meng Caiqing had a loud voice, and even if he didn't want to listen, it would just go straight into his ears. He interrupted Meng Caiqing angrily, "Okay, okay, stop first, you still said you had submitted a petition."
Meng Caiqing said weakly: "Even many spectators outside the stadium said it was wonderful, I was not talking nonsense."
Xue Danxing had a headache. Is this a question of whether you are talking nonsense or not?
Chongming Yuanjun poked Xue Danxing, "Uncle Xue."
Xue Danxing turned around: "What are you doing?"
Chongming Yuanjun said softly, "It is said that Bai Lu cannot fully master Qingdi Jue now, and Prime Minister Huo Xue will most likely agree that we can help him study together. Once there is a chance, we will take the opportunity to teach Bai Lu a few moves. As long as he learns and uses them, he should be a disciple. A teacher who has the same word as you is still a teacher. He originally came to me with skills, and one day, we will be equal to Prime Minister Huo Xue."
Xue Danxing looked at her in surprise: "Is Chongming also full of bad intentions? You can't judge a person by his appearance."
Chongming Yuanjun: "I was also forced..."
Since Bai Lu came to join the master with skills, he could obviously join any peak, why did he have to choose Dianmei Peak!
"And he is on equal footing with Huo Xuexiang." The Immortal Lord Bo Luan on the side lazily drank a sip of spiritual tea and glanced at them with contempt. He couldn't help himself at all, with the confidence that he could predict everything.
Xue Danxing turned his head sharply and caught it, then stood up and said, "Boy, why are you looking at your uncle?"
"..." Uncle Master's eyes were quite good. Immortal Boluan wiped his sweat and said, "That's not what I meant, Uncle Master."
I just know something that you don’t know... You will never be able to be on equal footing with Huo Xue!
But it was impossible for Immortal Lord Bo Luan to say this, as Prime Minister Huo Xue would not let him. So Immortal Lord Bo Luan held it in for a long time without saying why he despised his uncle. He could only be picked on by Xue Danxing while thinking aggrievedly in his heart: I am obviously a prophet.
…
At the same time, outside the Kaiyang Peak Library.
Liang Mangu made a sword for Qiusuo and asked him to try it.
Qiusuo has been exploring Xuanshan recently and has not yet figured out his own path, but as someone who came out of Dianmeifeng, it is normal for him to be equipped with a sword.
"Qiusuo, I will teach you how to fly a sword." Bai Lu said without hesitation, with a strong sense of responsibility. He and his classmates have been helping Qiusuo find an interest recently, teaching magic, talismans, and alchemy... all kinds of things, to see what talents and hobbies Qiusuo has.
The search was stuck... No, he hesitated for a moment, "But aren't you gliding on the sword?"
Everyone in the world knows about this, but perhaps because they don't know the truth, some people still think Bai Lu did it on purpose.
Bai Lu asked him back: "So you can glide?"
Qiusuo: “…No.”
Bai Lu: "Then what's wrong with me teaching you? Haven't you heard that having many skills is always a blessing?"
Seeking: "..."
Others: “…”
Bai Lu insisted on teaching Qiusuo how to fly the sword and glide on it. "These are two skills. I remember when I fought against Jin Sunzhi in the second level, I was able to save energy thanks to this move. And although it's called gliding, we're actually flying close to the ground, so the sword won't be worn out."
"Spiritual energy penetrates the sword, come!"
Qiusuo tried to step on the sword, and spiritual energy penetrated the sword. There is one advantage of the wooden puppet becoming a spirit. It has some characteristics of the wood clan and is easy to concentrate, but it is not as grass-like as them. It is much more flexible, and soon the sword flew up and circled in the sky.
Bai Lu was watching from below, and she and the other junior brothers and sisters cheered, "Stay on the ground! Stay on the ground!"
Qiusuo lowered his sword, but unfortunately, perhaps he failed to comprehend the essence of Bai Lu's words. He used too much force and shoveled away a large piece of ground.
Dust flew all the way to the second floor, and the voice of the senior brother in charge came from the room: "Meng Caiqing! Go back to your Cangyuntai to practice!"
Meng Caiqing: “…”
Meng Caiqing shouted: "Brother, it's not me, it's Brother Bai Lu who is practicing!"
Many heads popped out of the window at once, and asked excitedly, "Wow, Junior Brother Bai is here, what are you doing?"
"I'll demonstrate it to Qiusuo." Bai Lu introduced them, "You've seen it before."
"Is this the wooden puppet that is said to have intelligence?" Several people watched with interest. Bai Lu had so many adventures. The fact that the wooden puppet had become a spirit would be a very interesting topic even if it was just a normal thing.
Coupled with the attention Bai Lu has received recently, the window was soon filled with calls from fellow students.
"Seek, try again."
Qiusuo flew the sword again, circling in the air once more. His movements in the air were becoming more and more stable, but he was still unsure when he looked at the ground. He pressed his body and suddenly rushed to the ground.
This time, the ground was not blown away. Instead, branches and leaves suddenly grew out of his body, penetrated into the ground, and pulled him up for cushioning, allowing him to slide slowly along the ground.
Qiusuo looked at Bailu blankly, "...unknowingly."
"I just don't believe it." Bai Lu was so absorbed in the moment that she forgot that flying a sword was not the main purpose. She took off her Snow Feather Sword.
"You have to blend yourself with the wind," Bai Lu said. "Do you think gliding is easy? It requires very delicate control! Otherwise, you will end up in trouble like Qiusuo did."
Liang Mangu: Why do I remember that Brother Bai didn’t have enough spiritual power at the beginning...
Bai Lu flies into the sky on her sword!
"Hey, Senior Brother Bai can really fly that high!" It was the first time that everyone saw Bai Lu acting so much like a swordsman, and they couldn't help but exclaimed.
Only Chao Tianzi stood aside holding a broom and said unhappily: "That's enough! Just fly for a bit!! Flying the sword instead of gliding is enough!"
Bai Lu's spiritual power was already enough now, but there were too many magic weapons and she had to divide their functions to prevent them from fighting. She circled around at a very fast speed, and greeted the brothers and sisters upstairs, which attracted a lot of responses. Then she dived down without slowing down!
When approaching the ground, Bai Lu's speed did not slow down, which made the onlookers a little frightened.
A few branches involuntarily sprouted from Qiusuo's body, floating gently in the air, trying to provide some buffer for Bai Lu at any time.
But when Bai Lu was about to get close to the ground, he made a beautiful rise, and the Snow Feather Sword stuck tightly to the ground without damaging any grass or trees, and slid forward rapidly for hundreds of meters!
Her clothes fluttered in the wind, causing her long hair to flutter in the air, and she even exuded a sense of high spirits.
He slid all the way down to the shade of a tree before stopping. Turning back, he saw the sunlight shining through the tree, casting golden spots on his body. The little kite that had just been stretched straight by the wind also slowly swayed down.
Upstairs and downstairs, whether it was the seniors or the classmates around them, they couldn't help but cheer: "Good!!"
In the past, everyone in Xuanshan thought flying on a sword was cute and funny, proving that Bailu was not very suitable for Meifeng. But when he used it this time, people felt that he was right. This was indeed a test of control.
Even if it was invented unintentionally at first, this move has been tested in the mortal world.
Liang Mangu couldn't help but said, "Let me try, I want to see if I can be so smooth..."
On the second floor, a few familiar senior brothers and sisters found a few public swords in the study room and jumped down from the window. "Interesting, let's try it too!"
Bai Lu identified them. She had seen them when she received the pills two days ago. These people were clearly from Tianxuan Peak. Some of them did not look so familiar.
Meng Caiqing took a look and said, "Master Xue of Tianxuan Peak, and the senior brothers and sisters under the tutelage of Chongming Yuanjun of Tianshu Peak."
Not only them, many people were attracted, but they just couldn't find the sword for the time being. Liang Mangu was so happy that he immediately opened the magic weapon of receiving things: "I still have many broken swords here, which can still be used. I will rent them to you brothers and sisters at a low price..."
A small figure unexpectedly jumped out of the window, carrying a bunch of sorghum ears.
"Your Majesty—"
"You are here, my king—"
When Xian'er heard that Bai Lu was coming, she came running, her sorghum ears swaying. When she saw Bai Lu and Chao Tianzi beside him, tears instantly filled her eyes, "Your Majesty!"
Bai Lu was also moved by the atmosphere: "Xian'er!"
"Ah, my king!" Xian'er rushed forward, holding up the hem of her skirt, and looked at him in admiration. "I heard that my king used a broom to break into the Green Emperor's secret realm!"
She never thought that being a broomstick would give her such an honorable moment!
When Emperor Chaotian heard this straightforward tone, he couldn't help but smile triumphantly, even though he had received countless surprises and compliments in recent days.
"Yes, Xian'er, you have to work hard. When you grow up, you can also become such a powerful broom." Bai Lu touched her head.
Chao Tianzi: "Yes, you will find your destined master——"
Xian'er: "Oh, looking for the master——"
The person next to him: Isn’t this right?
"Ignore him, that's his personal experience, but it's true that he has great potential as a broom!" Bai Lu said without hesitation, "By the way, say a few words in classical Chinese to liven things up."
Xian'er immediately recited a long poem, and it was unclear whether she memorized it or composed it herself...
Bai Lu couldn't understand it anyway, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that the sound of reading was accompanied by the flashing of swords in front of her eyes, which created a very nice atmosphere.
I saw sword lights flying all over the top of Kaiyang Peak. From a distance, it looked like fireworks, except that the fireworks were very low...
Bai Lu was even running around the scene, willing to teach everyone the tricks of gliding with a sword.
A senior brother from Tianxuan Peak couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Bailu can now become our sword master!"
Bai Lu nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"
