Chapter 214: Swords are weapons, but the wielders are the people
Chapter 214: The Sword is the Weapon, and the Utilizer is the Person
Feeling a force that was completely different from the spiritual energy of immortals, Ji Meng couldn't help but tense up and dared not move again.
In the back mountain of Danxia... there is such a powerful woman, and judging from her aura, she is also an ancient cultivator.
And how could the Hanguang Sword be in her hand?!
In an instant, Ji Meng's hair stood on end, and he secretly communicated with the Phantom Star of Yunhai Tower...
In each realm of Yujing, there is only one person walking around.
Except for Tianxiang who had a bodyguard following him, the rest of them were protected by the stars to which they belonged.
As the eighth walker of Yunhai Tower, he can directly attract the illusion stars of the Yunhai lineage to protect himself in Yujing, the place where he preaches... The illusion that can affect Shen Su comes from this.
I just don't know how this white-haired female cultivator compares to Shen Su...
Beside him, Qingrao felt the strange star power descending, and her expression changed instantly. Judging from the terrifying vitality of the person in front of her... Ji Meng was completely seeking death.
Bai Yu Gu Xiu had a particularly clear sense of vitality, so much so that the first time she saw Zhao Qing, she pointed out his extraordinary lifespan.
At this moment, the woman's mind flashed, and she noticed something a little unusual in Zhao Qing's expression...
Her beautiful eyes fluttered, and she took a step forward and bowed gracefully, saying, "Qingrao, greetings, Senior Sister."
Si He's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a slight smile... With a wave of his hand, he sent Zhao Qing and the others to the foot of Shouyun Mountain.
……
There was a buzzing sound in my ears, and the world before my eyes suddenly turned into a withered and yellow fir forest.
Oh~ This familiar taste, this flying feeling~
Zhao Qing had long been accustomed to being transported back and forth by Si He... Far from being affected by the buzzing in his ears, he felt a sense of comfort as if he were back home.
Hong Ning's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she looked up and down at Zhao Qing in confusion without saying a word.
Kong Yang thought for a moment, looked at the others in surprise and asked, "Senior Sister!?"
"Could it be that there is a female cultivator from the White Jade Tower on the mountain?"
Zhao Qing looked thoughtful. "There shouldn't be any danger. Didn't Ji Meng tell me that my senior brother asked him to leave Yongning?"
"Perhaps there is a senior from Yujing who lives in seclusion in the mountains..."
After looking at each other, they looked back at the mountains, filled with confusion and speculation.
As the Yin Hua gently rippled, a picture came to Zhao Qing's mind...
……
Qingrao's call of "Senior Sister" made Si He smile slightly. She felt a vague aura of Taoism lingering around her. She looked Ji Meng up and down with her beautiful eyes and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
Ji Meng's expression froze, and she said bitterly: "It's okay..."
Si He frowned slightly. "What's wrong with that willow branch? Where did the fifteenth sword go?"
Ji Meng took a deep breath, her heart filled with horror.
With his eighth walking status, the phantom protection he brought about was unable to have any effect on the person in front of him!
If you want to leave now... you can only send a message to your senior brother.
But... he glanced sideways at Qingrao and slowly took a step back.
Senior sister?
How could there be a disciple of Yujing within the seal of the blood-stained robe?
Hanguang Sword…Miao Sword…Shen Su…Zhao Qing? Red Lemon?
For a moment, his thoughts, which had almost become clear, fell into chaos again.
Her beautiful eyes fluttered, and as she took a step forward, she took the white-haired woman's wrist, leaning against her with a smile: "The willow branch that Bai Wanqiu sent to Zhongzhou is a priceless treasure."
"The Shuiling Note contains information about the Ruyi Immortal Sect, an ancient sword sect that spanned the fourteen southeastern states before Yujing preached to the world."
"Yongning Prefecture is where the Immortal Sect's main hall is located. The secret realms left behind are far more than just the three places in Chu and Li. Most of them have been occupied by Lan Qingji..."
"The withered willow in the desert of Li Country is very likely the remains of Liu Yi, the leader of the Ruyi Sword Sect!"
Qingrao's beautiful eyes flickered as she supported Si He's arm and slowly told the story...
Compared to Ji Meng, she was not afraid of the mysterious woman beside her.
Si He nodded slightly, and his beautiful eyes carefully examined the lotus mark between the eyebrows of the woman beside him.
"The three hundred miles of sword formation in the secret realm, the fourteen extraordinary swords are the swords that once protected the fourteen states in the southwest!"
"And the fifteenth sword that disappeared was Liu Yi's sword—Ruyi Sword Sect, Ruyi Sword."
Si He whispered, "What do you want to do with Miao Jian?"
Qing Rao looked at Ji Meng. This handsome man with long flowing hair took out a piece of jade...
Zhao Qing felt the picture in his mind and looked at Kong Yang calmly.
He had seen this jade before.
It is a spiritual engraving of the image of Hong Ning and his group in the secret realm of the desert.
……
In the dim world, a faint green light flashed by.
Deep in the willow forest stretching for who knows how many miles, there was a half-broken, charred, dead tree, with pale, eerie arcs of electricity scattered across it...
And on the broken branch of the dead willow, a lush and green young willow sprouted.
"It's this willow branch!"
Qingrao said softly.
She exchanged glances with Ji Meng, then looked at Si He...
"This willow branch is the one Bai Wanqiu sent to Zhongzhou."
"The new branches born from the Willow Immortal's calamity-struck remains over thirty thousand years ago...are extremely precious."
"Even for the Nascent Soul cultivators of the various veins of Yujing, it is considered a priceless treasure."
Si He closed his eyes gently and chuckled, "What does this have to do with Miao Jian?"
After hearing this, Qingrao thought about it carefully and then a smile appeared on her face.
She whispered, "I went to Zhongzhou Tianxiang to ask for it but to no avail. However, I was able to see this new willow tree with my own eyes."
"About half a foot long, exactly the same as the one in the spiritual engraving."
The woman's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. "But... there's a sense of vitality escaping from its tail. With your level, you should understand what this means."
"Someone took away some of it in advance." Si He nodded with a smile.
"Exactly!"
"According to my and other fellow Taoists' speculation, this willow branch was originally at least one foot long, and the most essential part was broken off prematurely."
"And those who entered the secret realm earlier than the Yujing disciples... were Miao Jian and Shen Su."
……
Zhao Qing carefully felt the images and words in his mind, and at this moment he suddenly understood.
It turned out that before Hong Ning and the others entered the secret realm, Miao Jian had already broken off half of the willow branch... Then why didn't he take all of it away?
……
On Shouyun Mountain, Si He reached out and touched the strange lotus scar on the woman's face: "Do you want to find the other half of the willow branch to condense a true flesh and blood body?"
Qingrao nodded her delicate head slowly.
"I was born from dry bones, and I can only rely on the Lotus Gu... to appear like an ordinary person. The Lotus Gu was newly created by Fifth Senior Sister, and there is no inherited rare treasure used in the Baiyu lineage."
Si He slowly turned around and whispered as he took a step forward, "All things have spirits. If you haven't found the right life-giving treasure, when your Lotus Gu is fully developed, you can come here... I'll help you condense your flesh and blood body."
Qingrao's face lit up with joy, and she bowed and said, "Qingrao thanks you first, Senior Sister."
Ji Meng: ...
"Then shall we... take our leave first?"
The white-haired woman said lightly, "Go on."
"..."
At the foot of Shouyun Mountain, Zhao Qing's eyes flickered, and Si He's laughter came to his mind: "Little Bone Girl knows that you are related to me."
"I'll give the Hanguang Sword to you when you come back next time."
Zhao Qing silently sent out his thoughts: "Understood."
After two incense sticks, Ji Meng followed Qing Rao indignantly and slowly walked to Zhao Qing and the others.
Qingrao smiled and said, "Friend Ji has resolved the confusion in his heart. Let's go find Murong Ming now."
Kong Yang pondered and said, "May I ask, fellow Daoist, who is this so-called senior sister on Shouyun Mountain?"
"A senior from Yujing." Ji Meng shook his head slowly, waved his hand to take out a spirit boat, and stepped forward.
He glanced at Zhao Qing and the others, then looked at Qing Rao and frowned, "Hurry up, I still have to go back to Qianhuanzhou."
Qingrao raised her eyebrows and asked teasingly, "Where's your ship?"
Ji Meng handed the jade slip that controlled the spirit boat to Kong Yang: "I don't know where Murong Ming is, so what's the point of riding on the tower boat?"
……
A moment later, a spirit boat turned into a stream of light and chased after the morning glow.
Zhao Qing stood in the middle of the spirit boat, with a lingering strange fragrance around him.
Hong Ning's voice came from beside my ear: "That senior sister, is she familiar with you?"
"Just now...were you able to see what was happening on Shouyun Mountain?"
Zhao Qing frowned slightly and said nothing.
Hong Ning then said, "How about I exchange a secret with you?"
"Tell me what happened on Shouyun Mountain just now, and I will share something with you."
Share one thing?
Zhao Qing's expression changed slightly: "What's the matter?"
The woman beside him had a solemn expression on her face and whispered, "This is something extremely important to me, and I'm the only one in the world who knows it."
Ok?
After hearing Hong Ning's words, Zhao Qing thought silently... Could it be some details in the illusion?
After thinking for a moment, he whispered, "Back when I was in Danxia Sect, I met the guy on Shouyun Mountain."
"Nothing happened on the mountain just now. I just asked some questions about the Ruyi Sword Sect's situation."
Red lemon eyes trembled slightly: "Can you tell me in detail?"
"Those fourteen swords were the guardian swords of the fourteen southwestern states during the time of the ancient Sword Sect."
"That withered willow tree is the remains of the Ruyi Sword Sect's leader, whose name was Liu Yi. Shen Suying was his disciple, the Seventh Sword Master, the Moon-Chasing Sword Master."
"And the fifteenth sword that disappeared was Liu Yi's sword, the Ruyi Sword."
Zhao Qing thought for a moment and added.
"Before you entered the Withered Willow Secret Realm, Miao Jian and Shen Su had already picked half of the willow branches."
Um! ?
Hong Ning was startled when she heard this and transmitted a message, "Half a plant? I didn't even notice it... It must be the vitality of the withered willow that sealed the remaining end."
“Why only half of it?”
Zhao Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Perhaps it has something to do with Shen Su and Liu Yi. After all, it is the legacy of their master."
"But the identity and origin of this Miao Jian still remain unknown."
The woman nodded slightly as she pondered, looked at Luo Xianning who was approaching, and smiled in Zhao Qing's ear, "I'll tell you my secret when we're alone."
Zhao Qing: ...
He turned to look at Luo Xianning: "Fellow Daoist Luo, do you have any questions?"
"Um……"
Chen Changsheng's direct disciple frowned and took out his token to show it to Zhao Qing and Hong Ning.
"This is the token of my Nine Swords lineage. Everyone has received a message forbidding involvement with the Miao Sword or the Secret Realm, but I didn't receive it."
what?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing looked at Hong Ning in confusion.
Hong Ning pondered and said, "Perhaps your Nine Swords Tower has other plans? Why not send a message to Sect Leader Chen... and see if he has received the news?"
Luo Xianning nodded slowly: "I will take you to see Elder Murong first, and then return to the Changsheng Sword."
……
East of Songshan County.
The winding mountain cave goes straight into the ground. Before noon, many monks were already walking between the valleys.
