Volume 1 The Sword of the Son of Heaven Chapter 5 Midnight Visitor
Only by guiding spiritual energy into the body and running the meridians to absorb and refine it can the purpose of increasing cultivation be achieved.
This is the most basic step in cultivation.
If you can't even guide the spiritual energy in the beginning, how can you talk about improving your realm in the future?
Yun Que originally thought that he was blocked from the door of cultivation, but he didn't expect that he could bring the spirit into his body so quickly and get a first glimpse of the door.
The two sword talismans quickly turned into powder and scattered all over the ground.
"Don't I have no spiritual roots? Why can I absorb the sword talisman?"
Yun Que felt the subtle breath wandering around his body, feeling startled and confused.
The state at this time made him think that he had spiritual roots.
Although Hu Tieshan is annoying, he never lies and always sticks to his word. This can be seen from the fact that the other party can return the land deed to the Marquis Mansion.
Moreover, his father never taught any cultivation methods, which also corroborates Hu Tieshan's statement.
But Yunque's current state is exactly the same as that of a practitioner with spiritual roots!
"Give it a try."
According to the mental records, Yun Que moved his spiritual energy in a specific direction to activate the third sword talisman.
The sword talisman flew into the air crookedly, hovering in the room, becoming more and more stable.
"It should be spiritual energy, but..."
Yun Que stared at the tiny cracks that appeared on the sword talisman.
Only spiritual energy can activate the sword talisman, but the cracks on the sword talisman indicate that the spiritual energy controlling it is unusual.
"Why is it more like sword energy!"
The sword talisman showed signs of self-destruction before attacking. Even if Ma Yong gave him a defective product, it shouldn't have broken down so quickly.
"Could it be the reason for the Nine Tribulations Sword!"
Yun Que didn't have much special impression of the Nine Tribulations Sword passed down from his family. He only remembered that his father never left his side and attached great importance to the sword.
At this time, Yun Que thought of a guess.
Will the disappeared Nine Tribulations Sword form a sword vein similar to spiritual roots in his body?
Others rely on meridians for cultivation, but you rely on sword veins for cultivation!
The more I think about it, the more likely it is.
Otherwise, why can't I feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but I can feel the sword energy in the sword talisman!
Is it possible that in future cultivation, spiritual energy will not be needed but only sword energy?
If this is true, Yun Que feels that he will become the biggest anomaly in the world of spiritual practice in history.
At midnight, a group of black shadows gathered silently in the corner.
Normally, it would be difficult for Yun Que to detect the existence of the shadow. Since he reached the first level of Qi Refining, his five senses have become much sharper and he can quickly detect the strange things in the room.
"Hey, congratulations to the young master on his successful sword test. I will definitely have a bright future when I join the Sword Palace in the future."
The ghost servant who appeared again was still so ugly.
"What is your name? Do you hold any position in Hanshui City?" Yun Que asked in a condensed voice.
"Young master serves as a centurion under the command of the Marquis, and is in charge of a team of scouts. Master, just call me Lao He." The ghost servant bared his teeth and smiled, becoming more and more ugly.
Yun Que guessed that the ghost servant would appear again, so he calmed down and asked questions one by one.
"What happened in Hanshui City? Why did my father close the city and not come out during the war?"
"Young master, please forgive me. My soul has been missing since I became like this. I can't remember the truth back then. I only remember that we were always fighting, without stopping for a moment."
"You haven't left the city yet, who are you fighting with?"
"A very scary enemy. It's too vague. I really can't remember it."
Listening to the ghost servant's words, Yun Que looked heavy.
According to records, when the barbarians ravaged the north bank of the Hanshui River five years ago, they did not have a head-on confrontation with Hanshui City. Marquis Yanmen and a hundred thousand soldiers were trapped alive by them.
Now it seems that there is indeed another truth.
What happened to that silent city standing by the Hanshui River?
Who is the enemy?
The ghost servant is in a state of confusion, has lost a lot of memory, and can provide limited clues.
If you want to find out the truth, you have to go there in person.
But not now.
The north bank of Hanshui River has long been occupied by barbarians, and monsters are often found around Hanshui City. Ordinary people will die if they cannot reach the city.
"In addition to giving away the sword, does my father have any instructions?"
"The Marquis seems to have said something. Young Master Rong Xiao thinks about it..."
Ghost Servant Lao He tried hard to remember, his figure became darker and darker, and after a long time he said: "The great calamity of life and death can be overcome with the sword. The endgame has been decided, and the outcome has not yet been determined."
hiss!
Yun Que took a breath of air.
The end game definitely refers to the Battle of Hanshui five years ago, and the fact that the outcome was still undecided shows that my father is still planning something.
As for what it meant to use a sword to overcome the catastrophe of life and death, Yun Que didn't have much of a clue.
But he was sure it was related to the Nine Tribulations Sword.
Yun Que asked his father again if he had put the Nine Tribulations Sword into his body.
Lao He's answer was that he had never seen it before.
It seemed that the Nine Tribulations Sword was only aimed at himself. Yun Que really couldn't figure out what was special about him.
The candlelight flickered, and the pensive young man was as motionless as a sculpture.
At some point, the window was blown open by the night breeze, letting in the cool moonlight that filled the room.
Yun Que woke up from his deep silence.
He suddenly raised his head and saw a gray-robed Taoist appearing on the opposite side.
This man has fair hair and a childish face, and is full of energy, but there is no brilliance in his eyes, which makes him look dull and weird.
"What's the point of doing this if you come uninvited?"
Facing the uninvited guest, Yun Que was surprised at first and then calmed down instantly.
"The young Marquis is very promising and has successfully passed the sword test. Pindao made a special trip here to congratulate him."
The gray-robed Taoist said with a chuckle.
"Since I'm here to congratulate you, it doesn't seem appropriate to be empty-handed."
Yun Que pinched the last sword talisman in his sleeve, and as he spoke, thoughts were racing in his mind.
The other party is not kind!
No one would come to congratulate me in the middle of the night and appear mysteriously. This person definitely did not have good intentions.
"Not empty-handed, Pindao has specially prepared a big gift for the young Marquis."
The gray-robed Taoist sat across from him calmly and said with a smile: "Immortality, what do you think?"
"I don't believe it. Unless you stab yourself a few times to prove it, you are deceiving the current Marquis. In addition to the crime of trespassing into the Marquis's mansion, you will be sentenced to at least ten or eight years."
"It seems that the young marquis is familiar with the law and is proficient in punishment, but the laws of Yan State have no control over the cultivators."
The gray-robed Taoist laughed and said: "The master of Pindao Medicine Master Temple, known as Medicine Taoist Chu Xi, is Pindao's disciple."
Although the Taoist Medicine Master was smiling, the way he stared at Yun Que seemed to be looking at delicious food, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
"Your apprentice is not up to par and his skills are not as good as others. It's better to replace him with another Taoist priest."
While talking, Yun Que suddenly took action.
Whoosh!
The sword talisman flew out of his sleeve like a sword light and went straight to the medicine man's throat.
This matter cannot end well, so it is better to strike first.
The medicine man always had a smile on his face, raised his hand lightly, and actually clamped the sword talisman firmly with only two fingers!
"Little tricks."
After the Taoist Medicine Master said that, he exerted a little force, and the sword talisman split into two.
Not only can you hold the sword talisman with your bare hands, but you can also easily destroy the sword talisman with your fingers!
Terrible master!
At this time, a cloud of gray mist suddenly appeared and enveloped the Taoist.
"Master, leave quickly!"
The ghost servant's voice was full of anxiety, and it tried its best to entangle the powerful enemy.
Before Yun Que could make a move, Taoist Medicine's body flashed with light, and the gray mist transformed by the ghost servant immediately dispersed and shattered.
"A mere remnant soul dares to show off in front of a poor Taoist. He doesn't overestimate his own abilities."
The Taoist priest clicked several times in the air, and Yun Que, who had just stood up, was immediately imprisoned in place, unable to move.
"Not bad."
The Taoist Medicine Master circled Yun Que twice, nodded with satisfaction and said:
"It turns out that there is such a fine body in Yanmen Town. If I had known this, why would I train that idiot Chu Xi? Very good, this body belongs to me!"
There are words in the mouth of the medicine man.
A ray of white light escaped from his heavenly spirit and penetrated directly into the center of Yun Que's eyebrows.
