Zhang Yu has been practicing the Bamboo Sword these days. Even without using the Xia Sword, he can still use the Heart Lake Sensation a little. What's more, this magical weapon is still with him, and his senses are extremely sharp.
After noticing the abnormality, he did not rush in. Instead, he thought for a moment and then said to the two assistants: "You can go back to the town and wait for me."
The two assistants were obviously able to identify the situation. After listening to his instructions, without any hesitation, they turned their horses' heads and returned to Xiaoshan Town as soon as they cupped their fists.
Zhang Yuze took out a bone whistle with a string from his pocket and wrapped it around his left wrist.
This was an item used to communicate between him and Cai Yu and others. It was made from the strange leg bones of a crane. Once it was aroused, the sound could be transmitted to an extremely long distance, allowing both parties to hear the message.
hear.
He turned over and got off the saddle, drove the horse away a little, then stretched out his hands, slowly put on his hood, held Xia Jian, and walked into the ruins.
He just felt an unusually cold and violent aura appearing in the ruins, and it was full of wildness. After fighting with Su Kuang, he knew that the aura and emotion reflected in the inner lake could intuitively reflect certain aspects of his opponent.
a characteristic.
Therefore, he judged in his mind that the other party might be a powerful beast, or simply a spiritual creature.
The strange thing here is that the aura only erupted for a short moment and then disappeared. However, he had already memorized its location, so he walked directly there without any hesitation when he stepped forward.
He moved very quickly, and it didn't take long to reach the location where the aura appeared just now.
What appeared in front of him was a half-collapsed building. It could be seen that the original scale was very grand. Although a long time had passed, many marble columns were still standing stubbornly in place, and the exquisite murals on the walls were still vaguely discernible.
.
But other than that, there is nothing else in the field of view.
Could it be that you have left here?
He stepped on the broken stone steps and walked in. Just when he passed a high wall, he suddenly felt something and stopped. He suddenly looked back and saw a huge python climbing there, its head
Standing on the wall, two vertical pupils were staring at him.
He just watched quietly without making any violent reaction, because the python was already dead, with no signs of life on its body. Only wisps of colorful rays of light slowly drifted away, which was enough to show that it was a spiritual creature.
He could see that the big python died not long ago, and was killed in an instant. Not only that, its body functions were also destroyed at the same time, and it remained as it was before, without any struggle or twisting.
signs.
only……
Where is the person who took action to kill this aberration?
Just when he thought about this, a sense of danger suddenly rose in his heart, and it came from the other side of the opposite wall.
He immediately stepped back and saw a flash of arc-shaped light, like cutting tofu, across the hard stone wall. Then the entire tall stone wall fell down to where he was.
He retreated quickly and waved away the gravel falling from the top.
Boom!
The stone wall fell to the ground, and now you can see that the broken incision is smooth and smooth.
There was a whizzing sound, and several foreign objects suddenly shot towards him in the dust.
Zhang Yu's eyes condensed, and the "Minsi" seal was activated in his heart. In an instant, everything in the outside world seemed to slow down.
He could see that they were just small stones, but the power they carried at this moment was extremely powerful.
He did not draw the sword, but raised the scabbard, waved his arms calmly in front of him, and knocked them away one by one.
boom!
This time the sound came from the right, as a large broken stone pillar crashed through the stone wall full of gaps and flew towards him with unabated momentum.
He still did not dodge. The "Strengthening" mark on his body was stimulated, and the strength in his body increased. He reached forward, gently pressed the huge stone pillar that was flying towards him, and moved it aside.
Moved sideways.
He knew that this was not the end, so he lowered his body slightly to maintain his center of gravity, while holding the hilt of the sword with his other hand and staring ahead.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed out from the dust and rushed towards where he was!
He took a breath, then drew his sword out of its sheath. A sword light struck the incoming silver light with great precision. He only heard a crisp chirp, and the flying object was deflected by the force of the collision.
Fly into the sky.
As the light from above shines through, its true appearance is clearly reflected.
This is a long sword!
He looked up and saw a relatively complete stone pillar standing behind the huge collapsed wall. A tall and handsome Taoist with long eyebrows was standing on top of it.
He watched the long sword that had been deflected fall towards him, glanced at it, calmly stretched out his hand to grab it, and then threw it away gracefully, letting it return to the scabbard behind his back with a clang.
He smiled slightly at Zhang Yu and said: "Junior Brother Zhang, you are very skilled. I haven't seen you for a few years. It seems that you have learned a lot from Xuan Xiu."
Zhang Yu stood up straight, sheathed his sword, and seemed not too surprised by the other party's appearance, saying: "Senior Brother Tao, it is indeed you. Aren't you following the teacher? Why are you here?"
The other party was his senior brother when he was studying under his old cultivation teacher, his name was Tao Dingfu. The two of them had a pretty good relationship before.
In fact, he had just guessed, because there was no murderous intention in the opponent's sword movement, it was just a pure test, and his reaction, speed, strength and eyesight were tested respectively. He was very familiar with this style.
Tao Dingfu jumped down from above, his clothes were fluttering, and when he landed, he tapped his toes lightly without making any sound. His whole body seemed as light as a feather.
He walked forward and said, "The teacher has left here."
Zhang Yu said in surprise: "Leave here?"
Tao Dingfu said: "Don't ask me, I don't know where the teacher has gone. It's a pity that the teacher didn't tell me the next step of practice, he just asked me to find it myself."
Zhang Yu didn't realize that there were many surprises. The practice of the old method was like this. It was all up to you to understand and find it. I won't explain the reasons to you. If you can find it, you can find it. If you can't find it, you don't have the opportunity.
Tao Dingfu waved his sleeve at this time, and a hot breath spread, and the bricks between the two people suddenly burst into flames. The flames rose as high as one person, but the fire was limited to three feet.
When Zhang Yu saw this scene, his eyes flashed with a strange color, and he said: "Refining the furnace with real fire?" He looked up, "Senior Brother Tao, have you mastered the 'Shangyang True Qi' taught to you by your teacher?"
Tao Dingfu looked at the fire and said: "Although I have completed the practice, I have stopped here without the next step. So after much thought, I came to you for help."
Zhang Yudao: "Senior brother, how do you want me to help?"
Tao Dingfu said: "Junior brother, you must know about the battle sixty years ago, right? Xuan Xiu suffered heavy casualties in that battle, but you may not know that several of my seniors in Zhen Xiu also died there, one of them
The senior with the Taoist name 'Suyang' was good at my 'Shangyang Zhenqi', and his remains must have been left in the boundless jungle."
Zhang Yu suddenly understood and said: "So, senior brother, you want me to help you find the remains of senior Su Yang?"
Tao Dingfu said: "We really pay attention to the method of fate. The method I practice happens to be the same as this senior, so I want to look for it to see if I can find an opportunity there."
He looked at Zhang Yu and said: "Junior brother, I know that you studied 'ancient natural history' and you also know many barbarian languages. This time, senior brother, I will ask you for a favor. No matter whether you can find the opportunity in the end, for the sake of brother
I can promise to do three things for you."
Zhang Yu was about to speak when the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from far away.
Tao Dingfu said: "Someone is here. I'll give you this. If you encounter any difficulties, just come to me." As he said this, he waved his sleeve and threw something at him.
Zhang Yu caught it and found that it was also a bone whistle. When he looked again, the figure of Tao Dingfu was no longer in front of him.
He stood there, thoughtfully.
He knew this Senior Brother Tao very well. He had been following his teacher for more than twenty years, but he was also tainted by the teacher's style of only telling half of what he said and leaving the other half to be understood by himself.
He said there were three things he could do to help him. This could not be for no reason. It should be a hint that there was some kind of danger during his trip or simply around him.
In this way, you should be more careful on the next journey.
After changing his mind, he put away the bone whistle and walked out with his sword.
