Chapter 31: When something goes wrong, there must be a demon
People today do not see the moon in ancient times, but the moon once shines on the ancients.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and Wu Yezi, who is middle-aged, holds a sword in his hands and looks at the familiar sea of stars, showing the feeling of things being different from others in his eyes.
The former Wu Yezi was the contemporary Jiang Chengjian, who was powerful in the Central Plains and surpassed a whole generation with the power of a sword. At that time, Jiang Chengjian was just an unknown little swordsman, and he had never even heard of his name.
But whether it is a hero or a hero, there will always be a time to end and leave.
After lying underground for three thousand years, Wu Yezi has long become an outsider who has nothing to do with the current world. The Zhongzhou Swordsman who once respected and feared him has almost died. Today, there are not many Zhongzhou Swordsman who have heard of his name, let alone sold him face. It is not easy to integrate into the path of cultivation again.
But this is how practice is. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles are ahead, you have to find a way to move forward.
These days after waking up, Wu Yezi was thinking of ways to return to his former position; if he wanted to become the peak sword immortal who was famous in Yu Yaozhou again, the first thing he had to do was to get rid of his current skin.
This skin, called "Zhao Qu", has no flaws in the sixth level of Linggu, but also has no advantages. With his experience of not having Yezi and the wealth accumulated in Linglong Pavilion, it is not impossible to reach the peak again after spending a hundred years of polishing.
Wu Yezi can leave a name in the world, and he is definitely not a person who is eager for quick success and instant benefits. He has this patience; but what he can't accept is that this body is close to the earth.
Everyone has five elements. Even if Youhuang’s peak is perfect in nature and there is no difference in the five elements grades, monks will still focus on the five elements with the strongest affinity.
Wu Yezi's five elements are water-friendly. The martial arts, martial arts and even the immortal weapon he had sought in the past are suitable for water-friendly monks, followed by metal and wood. The earth in the five elements overcomes water. He uses this body to practice, which is tantamount to half the result with twice the effort and makes a sacrifice for himself.
On the contrary, Zuo Lingquan's body is very consistent with all aspects, and it is a tailor-made embryo. If you get it, you will be able to achieve half the result with twice the effort in your future practice. I am afraid that in a decade or twenty years, you will be able to return to your former peak state, and maybe even higher.
By comparison, it goes without saying how Wu Yezi can choose from it; but he also understood that the people he could like were definitely not unknown people in today's practice.
Through soul search and interrogation of several passing monks, Wu Yezi probably learned about the current situation in Yu Yaozhou.
Although the top immortals nowadays are all later generations and he does not know any of them, but once reached the top of the mountain, there is a rough estimate of the Taoist practices of these fellow Taoists; after all, as long as the Tao of immortality is still broken, no matter how talented he is, he can only be stuck at the bridgehead of the broken bridge, which cannot exceed his understanding of the strongest.
According to Wu Yezi's judgment, the Taoist protector behind Zuo Lingquan is one of the eight great masters, and the possibility of the Lord Linyuan is the greatest.
If Lord Linyuan follows you, there is no chance for you. However, an immortal master of this level is unlikely to talk to each other personally to his disciples. Normally, something happens if something happens to him or her, or he will use his great magical power to break the air and help his disciples to make trouble.
The tearing space is limited in scope, so it is impossible to open a hole in Yuyaozhou, and go directly to the back garden of Beishuzhou. As long as the Lord Linyuan is near the Tiele Mansion, it is impossible to reach Zhongzhou in an instant. The only places to be wary of are the nearby monks.
Wu Yezi knew that there were ten sword emperors in Zhongzhou now, and there were two lords near Fulong Mountain to the south. Any one came over, and it was difficult for him to deal with it now, so he could only arrange the venue first and then fight quickly.
Fortunately, I have been busy for more than ten days and have prepared myself, so I will wait for the fish to take the bait.
Speaking of which, this is a big gamble. If you win the bet, you will be up to the sky and lose the bet, it will not conform to the concept of people seeking stability in everything in their practice.
But sometimes, the Great Way of Eternity is in front of you. If you miss it, you will never meet it for the second time in your life. If you dare not fight for it, what can you do when you follow this path of practice?
I almost died last time. I have lost once. How can I lose again and again?
Wu Yezi held a long sword in both hands, looking at the southeast and pondered secretly. Until the morning light in the east appeared, several figures finally appeared in his sight...
------
The morning light is just beginning to dew, and the long-lost sun rises from the mountains behind it.
The yellow sand and mountains that were soaked in rain and dew for a long time quickly dry under the hot sun, so that the ground was filled with fog and a hot flash could be felt all over the body.
Zuo Lingquan walked with his sword and came to the mountains and fields southwest. After seeing the monks moving in the distance, he landed on the ground and walked forward on foot.
There were many casual cultivators who came to visit the treasures in the mountains and fields, and the three of them did not attract the attention of others.
It may be that the source of spiritual energy fluctuations has been discovered, the high-level monks have left, and the remaining large number of low-level monks no longer fight and kill each other for a few pieces of black water and life-threatening things, but have dug up mines to the world, and sometimes you can hear the discussion:
"The mine cave is very deep. You can find good quality when digging it inside. Don't you think you can take up space with these broken stones?"
"It's time to put the bag in order to save money. How much does it cost, hurry up and leave..."
"I heard that the Qi family and Chen family members are coming soon. When these people come, they will definitely occupy the mine cave. Dig it quickly. How much can they be digged? It will be difficult to find such opportunities in the future..."
...
Zuo Lingquan walked along the crowd and saw the monks covered in big and small bags. He recalled the scene when he and Jingxian first went to the mine in the Soul Abyss and discovered many ores.
Although I think back, it was just some ordinary materials and only sold tens of thousands of white jade dumps in the Linglong Pavilion, I still remember the excitement of picking up money for free, so I understand the current mood of these casual cultivators.
Xie Qiutao likes this kind of thing the most. If she put it in normal times, she would definitely have taken her big pocket to pick up stones. No matter how high the white jade zhu is, she wouldn't be too much.
However, Shangguan Lingye and Zuo Lingquan were in front of him and asked them to accompany him to go to the mine. It was definitely not suitable. Xie Qiutao took a few glances and said disappointedly:
"It looks like a mine cave, and I thought some big baby was born."
Shangguan Lingye is the heir of the Iron Mansion and runs a money house at home. Although she likes small money, she really can't get interested in mining with a low-level cultivator. She looked around the mine for a week and found nothing special. She said:
"Forget it, there is no oil and water in this place, go to another place to look for it."
He had already been to Qilin Cave and ran here again, but he had nothing to find. Zuo Lingquan didn't know when he was going to find it, so he wanted to suggest going back and driving the pleasure boat first and taking Qingwan to find opportunities together.
But before Zuo Lingquan could speak, he suddenly felt a faint sword intent coming from the mountains and fields in the distance.
The sword intent is very ethereal and cannot figure out the exact direction. It is very familiar. Zuo Lingquan used the fairy sword once, so he recognized it at that time.
?
Zuo Lingquan's expression was slightly condensed, and he looked at the distant mountains and fields - the fog-locked green mountains. The sky and the earth were like ink paintings. It was hazy and could not see anything clearly. He felt it carefully, and the sword intent disappeared without a trace.
Shangguan Lingye didn't notice anything unusual and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"I felt the trace of the fairy sword, like an illusion, right behind the mine, with a distance of uncertainty."
Only people with extremely weak souls will have hallucinations when their spiritual consciousness is confused. For those who are practicing, it is said that there is something, there is no hallucination.
Shangguan Lingye and Xie Qiutao all looked solemn when they heard the sound.
Xie Qiutao looks silly, but his alertness is far beyond ordinary people, otherwise he would not have lived so much. She thought for a while and said:
"Why does it feel like that man is still in dispersed? He has been around us all the time from outside the sand sea to here."
Zuo Lingquan looked at Shangguan Lingye: "I feel something is wrong. Are we going to kill demons and eliminate demons and support the right path?"
Shangguan Lingye felt that something abnormal would happen, and he was estimating the good or bad of this trip. Before he made up his mind, the dumpling sleeping in his arms stuck his head out of his collar, looked at the crowd outside the mine, raised his wings and shook it:
"grumble!"
Judging from the appearance, I was saying hello to an acquaintance.
The three of them were slightly shocked. When they looked around, they found that among the crowd of casual cultivators at the foot of the mountain, there was an old man with a deep breath sitting on a stone and talking to a few young people...
