In the early morning, it was not yet dark outside the room.

A young Taoist priest had already gotten up early and washed himself, then sat cross-legged on a pure white jade futon to meditate and practice Taoism.

In the sky above his head, there were five swords of five colors crisscrossing each other. They seemed to be stabbing and attacking each other like dragons, and they seemed to cooperate with each other to form a sword formation.

"The dew in the heart is as clear as lead water. Another night, the west wind blows. I like to watch quietly, and the autumn light pours over half of the lake."

Although he was meditating with his eyes closed, Zhang Lie's mind could sense the light of the sword and even visualize the enemies he had fought with in the past, and his thoughts flew into the sword fight.

Learning is divided into three realms:

Use it with your body, mind, and body.

The first level is that the person is here but the heart is not here. This kind of efficiency is extremely low. I can only say that doing it is better than not doing it.

The second level is that the heart is here, and you are willing to devote your mind and heart to the skills you are learning. The more you use your mental energy, the skills will become spiritual.

The last level is that the body is here, the mind is here, and you also like it very much. This kind of practice consumes very little physical and mental consumption but is very efficient, which can be called excellent.

Zhang Lie was a bit aggressive in his last life. In this life, he studied the Earthly Sword Sutra and it can be said that his body and mind are in harmony. Furthermore, he has the Qi Shu to obtain the Heavenly Book from Beyond the World and the Taihao inheritance. Therefore, even monks who are decades older than him are very good at fighting swords.

Maybe he is far from his opponent.

He almost swept away the monks of similar age in the same realm.

At this moment, looking down at the sword light mixed with the five elements of Dharma with his spiritual will, Zhang Lie looked at it like a drunkard drinking fine wine, or a lustful ghost meeting a beautiful woman.

This five-element sword light is his "autumn light on a horse, bright moon on half a lake".

A normal Qi-training monk has limited spiritual consciousness and magic power. If he wields two or three magic weapons that are equivalent to his own cultivation level at the same time, he has already exhausted his potential.

However, Zhang Lie understood the meaning of the four elements of wood, water, fire, and earth, and used it to control the four flying swords of Yimu, Shuiyun, Huode, and Xuanhun. It required less spiritual consciousness and less mana, and the four swords and light sword moves were exquisite.

Just like each being commanded by a monk who is good at swordsmanship, the four completely different styles of swordsmanship are astonishingly spiritual in the unpredictable changes.

This is different from the Qi Sha Taoist's Qi Jue Cyclone Sword Formation. The Qi Jue Cyclone Sword Formation is, at best, just a set of flying swords wielded by one person.

It seems that seven swords are coming out at the same time, but in fact there are rules between offense and defense, but they are well concealed. Once discovered, the power of the sword tactics will be drastically reduced.

However, it was impossible for Taoist Qi Sha to ask Yin Yifei to understand the meaning of the Five Elements, because even he himself could not do such a thing, and it was not consistent with Taoist Qi Sha's subsequent advancement in swordsmanship.

"It's just that there is still a little bit of a shortcoming."

Zhang Lie gradually focused his attention on Jin Xing Fei Jing Hong, and sighed in his heart.

Compared to the other four flying swords, which are more agile in their sword light, the Jinxing Flying Sword strikes straight ahead. Although its sword power is astonishing, it is stagnant. If an expert observes it, he will soon discover that this is a flaw in his own swordsmanship.

"Fortunately, the Jin Xingjian's light sword is strong and fierce. Unless you are someone like Yan Zangfeng, it is almost impossible for a fellow monk to break through in a short period of time."

After practicing swordsmanship for a while, I finished the basic exercises of using the sword to draw energy.

Zhang Lie stood up and opened the window of the room, only to see the rising sun outside at this moment: the golden-red sunlight broke through the sea of ​​clouds, which was beautiful and nourishing to the heart and eyes.

With a wave of his hand, a wooden chair was brought over. Zhang Lie sat down and began to breathe in the purple energy of the morning sun.

As his chest rises and falls, it continuously spurts out from his mouth and nose, absorbing a three-foot-long purple energy. As the ninth level of the skill progresses, it gradually rises and spreads around his body and even on top of his head.

Three feet of dense purple smoke.

In the previous life, Zhang Lie was not so self-disciplined and hardworking. In this life, he upheld Su Hui and felt the dangers of the external environment. He persisted since he was a child and gradually formed a habit. He persisted for twenty years before he is where he is today.

achievements.

When the sky outside was bright and the entire Lifeng Mountain gradually returned to its former lively and prosperous state, Zhang Lie was already close to completing his morning practice.

"I would like to ask if fellow Taoist Zhang is in the house, and I, Wu Jingshan, can come in and have a chat with fellow Taoist."

Listening to the old man's voice coming from outside the confinement of the mansion, Zhang Lie, who was sitting on the wooden chair in front of the window, closed his eyes and remained unmoved. He still followed his own cultivation rhythm, slowly gathering his energy and concentration, and finally calmed down.

achievement.

Gu Zhen

Then, he opened his eyes, thought for a moment and responded loudly:

"It turns out that fellow Daoist Wu is visiting, and Zhang is very honored!"

As he said that, he used the restraint technique to open the simple restraint here. After a flash of spiritual light, an old man with green robes and white hair slowly walked into the room from outside. When he saw Zhang Lie, he first gave a salute.

"I hope fellow Taoist Zhang won't be offended by Wu's sudden visit."

"Here, fellow Taoist, please take a seat. This place is simple and crude. I'm afraid I'm going to neglect Fellow Taoist Wu."

Wu Jingshan is the monk who is responsible for the transfer of personnel here. He himself has matured with age, and Zhang Lie has been a man for two generations. His sophistication in human relations is definitely not as sophisticated as the old man in front of him. He immediately said with a spring breeze on his face.

In this way, just by chatting a few words, the two of them seemed to have been friends for many years.

"Junior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother is here this time. One is to congratulate Junior Brother in advance on moving to a new home. The other is where his duties lie. Junior Brother Zhang is sent from the sect. He should know that Lifeng Mountain is the heart of the sect.

Things are complicated.”

"In this regard, please ask Senior Brother Wu for guidance and arrangements."

"Hey, Junior Brother Zhang is a young and talented disciple of our sect. He is an old man who is stupid and inexperienced. How can he dare to be called a guide? If Junior Brother doesn't mind, I can tell Junior Brother about the relevant tasks of Li Feng Mountain."

"The job categories of the disciples of our sect here are divided into two categories. One is the production-oriented monks, who are responsible for the collection, refining, casting and other matters of minerals in Lifeng Mountain. The income from worship varies according to the job, and there is basically no risk.

, but daily affairs are more arduous and delay practice."

"The other type is the Black Armored Iron Guard, which is responsible for patrolling some dangerous areas or taking on some special tasks. Every time it is completed, the benefits obtained are not only spiritual stones, but also elixirs or magical weapons.

etc. items.

Of course, the risk of tasks like this is relatively high. If the monk's fighting ability is weak, it is best not to choose it. But every time you complete one, it is enough to avoid having to take any tasks for a long time, and you can practice for a long time with peace of mind.

.And these two positions are not static and you can apply for exchange."

"I wonder, which job is Junior Brother Zhang more interested in? Senior Brother must make good arrangements for Junior Brother and try his best to satisfy Junior Brother."

Zhang Lie, he definitely cannot be a productive monk. He puts a lot of his attention on various production tasks. What about swordsmanship? What about the progress of training?

He has the qualifications of the Four Spiritual Roots. If he wants to lay a solid foundation, he must cultivate to the peak of Qi Training. What's more, Zhang Lie knows clearly in his heart that for a job like a production-oriented monk, all kinds of overt and covert conflicts and human relationships are probably inevitable.

However, after Zhang Lie pondered for a moment, he still asked:

"Senior Brother Wu, I think you also know about the sword fight in the Hongfa Hall a few days ago. That Senior Brother Gu Xuan, what kind of monk is he?"

"Gu Xuan does not belong to the Xuanjia Iron Guard, but serves as an Iron Guard. Most of them are disciples of the outer sect and inner sect for a long time. He is ordered to be responsible for the city defense and public security in the area of ​​Lifeng Mountain. He is already a trainee.

Late Qi monks are qualified to join the Black Armor Iron Guard. I heard that they have applied for it some time ago, but have not been approved yet. However, Master Zhang, you are a true disciple, and you will start as a Black Armor Iron Guard."

In a few words, Wu Jingshan explained the rules clearly to Zhang.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Wu, for your advice." Zhang Lie thanked him first, and then after pondering for a moment, he finally said, "Senior Brother Wu, then Junior Brother chooses to become the Black Armor Iron Guard."

"Haha, junior brother, he is a master of swordsmanship and a man of great courage. Well, the Black Armor Iron Guard is indeed more suitable for monks like junior brother. Speaking of which, senior brother happens to have a very long position of 'border exploration'. Junior brother, take a look.

Are you interested?"

While saying this, Wu Jingshan took out a black iron token and handed it to Zhang Lie.

After taking it, Zhang Lie punched in his spiritual consciousness and quickly read the message:

Lead a ten-man team to explore the border area to prevent the invasion of monsters. You can rest for half a year after completing a mission. Any harvest during the mission belongs to the individual. If there is key information, the Zongmen General Affairs Hall will consider it based on the original mission reward.

, increase the reward.

"...Senior Brother Wu, can you allow me to think about it for two days?"

"Oh, conventionally it's not allowed, but since it's Junior Brother Zhang who has spoken, it's not impossible for Senior Brother here." The old man in green robe laughed when he heard this, and then he chatted with Zhang Lie for a while, and finally got up and left.

After the green-robed old man left, Zhang Lie looked at the black iron token in his hand and determined that this should be prepared for him.

However, given his status, no one should take the risk of destroying his family and harming him.

At most, they arranged themselves in a relatively dangerous area. After all, there are more than fifty true disciples in the entire Jinhong Valley. If something happens to any of them, the sect will have to come over and use the God of Inquiry Talisman to track down the person responsible. What's more.

He is a well-known person among Patriarch Qingyang.
