Chapter 20 Inch Snake
After Xu Yao returned to Zizhushe, he began to practice "The Sword Technique of the Sea" with his palms intently. Xu Yao, who was originally focused, suddenly looked moved and suddenly stretched forward to try to grab something. At this time, a black shadow flashed away. Not only was it not caught, but it was also directly on Xu Yao's head. It was the small iron wire snake that almost walked away during the outer sect promotion trial before, and Xu Yao also became a blessing in disguise.
Before, the little snake had been sleeping in Jiyuan jade pot. He occasionally came out to move for a while and would soon return to the pot to sleep. Although Xu Yao was used to being cautious, a young snake that looked like it had not been broken for a long time was still in a state of shape, so he didn't care too much and let it go.
However, during this time during Xu Yao's health care, the young snake on the iron wire began to become active for no reason. Some of the food Xu Yao got back when he returned. Xu Yao became familiar with the young snake over and over again. He often got used to teasing the little snake to play and relieve boredom at the end of his day's practice. He also gave it a very vulgar name Xiao Jin, because the faint golden thread that was almost invisible on the snake's back.
Although this little snake is young and not aggressive, it is extremely fast. With Xu Yao's cultivation level at the peak of Qi training, he has never caught it. His appetite is amazing, basically more than three times that of Xu Yao. Xu Yao doesn't know how such a small snake body can accommodate it. After getting along during this period, Xu Yao vaguely feels that this young snake is not that simple, but now he can't find anything. He can only go to the library to check it out if he can find any clues.
Xu Yao helplessly pulled down the young snake that was plated on his head and threw it outside the door. The purple bamboo houses of the outer disciples were separated separately and were far apart from each other. Such a large area was enough for the young snake to tossing, and Xiao Jin was not angry at all. When he twisted the snake's body, he quickly disappeared in front of the Zizhu House.
Xu Yao smiled and shook his head, sat cross-legged, continued to concentrate on practicing the sword technique on the jade slip. There was no time to cultivate immortality, and another month passed. Xu Yao sat cross-legged in the purple bamboo house, with his hands unconsciously fiddling with two bamboo swords, looking like he had been thinking for a long time.
One month is enough for Xu Yao to initially master the entry-level sword scripture of "The Sword Technique of the Sea". Xu Yao did not forget to practice while pondering the sword scripture, but was stuck by the bottleneck of the fourth level of Qi training and could no longer make any sense. Even though Xu Yao had already expected this situation, he could not suppress a trace of irritability in his heart. He thought for a lifetime, and the bamboo sword that had moved freely in his hands suddenly broke from it.
Xu Yao laughed silently, got up and threw away the two broken swords, patted the Taoist robe, a small snake suddenly jumped from the bed and rushed into Xu Yao's sleeve. Xu Yao let out a long sigh, opened the door of the house, and left.
At the outer door, Xu Yao stood silently among the crowd, looking inconspicuously. After looking at the hanging list, Xu Yao shook his head and turned around and walked behind the hanging list. It immediately attracted a large number of gazes. He immediately looked at Xu Yao, disdainful, and was surprised that all kinds of eyes were gathered on Xu Yao. Xu Yao was not in a turbulent heart, and he still walked forward in a constant pace until the scenery around him changed. An old man with scarred face sat on a chair with no image, looking at Xu Yao with interest.
Xu Yao bowed with a calm look on his face, "External disciple Xu Yao, apply for a garrison task, please ask the elder to assign it." The scarred old man didn't say anything, but stood up and circled Xu Yao twice, smacking his lips while winking, "Interesting, interesting, I'm moldy here all day, and finally encounter something interesting. Boy, I have the final say here, let's try my best. I'm in a good mood, so I will assign you a good task and try to keep you alive."
Without waiting for Xu Yao to answer, the old man in Scarface waved his hand, and the surface of the ground in front of Xu Yao suddenly bulged. A puppet that was more than three meters tall and had soil hanging on his body suddenly appeared in front of Xu Yao. The old man in Scarface laughed and immediately sat back on the Grand Master's chair, looking like he was watching the show.
Xu Yao didn't wait for the puppet to fully unfold, and then slashed with a sword. The flying snow sword slashed on the rock puppet immediately, leaving only a slight white seal. Xu Yao's heart sank immediately. Although it was just a tentative slash. However, the defense of the rock puppet was far beyond Xu Yao's expectations. Xu Yao estimated that he had all his strength to attack, and at most it would be the flying sword to slash into the body of the rock puppet. For the rock puppet, it could only be said to be a slight obstacle, affecting the action, and Xu Yao would probably face the dilemma of not being able to draw the sword.
As soon as Xu Yao fell to his feet, the rock puppet punched him. Xu Yao easily avoided him. A small pit suddenly appeared in Xu Yao's footsteps. The rock puppet failed to hit the target and then immediately stepped forward and punched frequently. While Xu Yao was careful to avoid it, he continued to fight back, but it only left deep and shallow marks on the rock puppet in vain, and could not do anything to the rock puppet's appearance.
"Boy, you're a little weak. Going to the sect like this will only save your life in vain." The scar-faced old Taoist laughed, while not knowing where to get a wine pot and drink it. Xu Yao seemed to have not heard the old Taoist's words, and still avoided the attack of the rock puppets everywhere.
The scar-faced Taoist was not moved and was not annoyed. He took out a few golden beads from somewhere and put them in his hands to play with them. At this time, Xu Yao once again avoided the attack of the rock puppet, but did not escape. Instead, he rushed towards the rock puppet with a sword on his back. The old Taoist who was originally from Gu Zi next to him suddenly moved his expression, and then he looked interested.
When the rock puppet saw Xu Yao coming towards him, he immediately punched him. Xu Yao did not look like he was avoiding him at all. He jumped directly and stepped on the rock puppet's arm to leap up again. The rock puppet immediately wrapped his hands in his arms and wanted to catch Xu Yao. With the strength of the rock puppet, Xu Yao would definitely be defeated. The rock puppet wrapped his hands around his chest and quickly closed it. Xu Yao had already reached the shoulder of the puppet at this time. When he couldn't help, he drew his sword with his hands and inserted his hands into the forehead of the rock puppet. At this time, the rock puppet's hands were just closed, and he just stuck Xu Yao in his hand and began to collapse.
"No, not bad, although my cultivation is a little bit poor, my performance is still pretty careless. You have passed the test. After drinking this glass of wine, take this jade toll and wait on the flying boat in front of me." The scarred old man still looked smiling and pushed the jade token and a white jade wine glass to Xu Yao. Seeing this, Xu Yao bowed and raised his glass to drink. As soon as he drank it, Xu Yao felt comfortable and comfortable. The exhausted true energy was instantly replenished, and he also made some progress, and even the unbreakable bottleneck loosened a little.
Xu Yao didn't understand that this wine was not an ordinary thing. When he encountered an opportunity, he was about to come forward to express his gratitude. He had just now and was suddenly impatient with the old Taoist who was beautiful and waved his hand repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I look so old, I'm so uncomfortable when I look at it, so I'm so embarrassed to get out of here." Xu Yao's step he took immediately stopped in the air, then he stopped awkwardly and touched his nose, claimed thanks loudly and turned around and left.
