Chapter 46: The Natural Pit
Sword Cave.
Mo Tian sighed lightly, and woke up from his meditation, feeling refreshed, all the injuries he had suffered before had healed, and he was a good man again.
She has been in retreat in the sword cave for more than half a month, and in addition to entering the meditation and pranayama, she is competing with the sword ghost.
Probably because of the sword body on his body, Mo Tianwei always felt that his mood was agitated whenever he used the sword, as if he was born with a sword cultivator.
This feeling...... It's pretty good.
She glanced at the man following behind her, and didn't know who this person really was, and what she was always doing.
Ignoring it anymore, she moved forward with her sword, it was time to challenge the forty-eighth layer.
Not long after, the stone chamber on the forty-eighth floor had already appeared in front of Mo Tianwei, she had no fear, and stepped into it, but after a few breaths, a sword ghost walked out.
This sword ghost is very weird, he has no sword in his hand, and he doesn't mean to make the first move, so he stands quietly in place, if it is a real person, it looks very calm and relaxed.
Mo Tianwei was depressed in his heart, the previous sword ghosts were all holding swords, and they always started immediately after announcing the swordsmanship and sword intent that they would use next, and today is the first time I have seen it.
However, she didn't suspect anything, since she broke the sword ghost on the thirty-second floor, she knew about the existence of the sword stele, and she also understood that not all sword ghosts only had one or two standard lines like the previous ones, if the disciple who broke the sword ghost was willing, he could set the lines and mannerisms of the sword ghost, which was also a little fun.
However, because Jian Xiu rarely had the leisure to do this, she hadn't encountered it before, and this was the first one.
The sword ghost was silent, Mo Tianwei thought for a moment, and performed a sword gate etiquette: "Sword Sect Mo Tianwei, please advise." β
The sword ghost really moved, it saluted back, and said: "My sword technique is called "Verbal Criticism". β
Huh, that sounds amazing!
Mo Tianwei was very interesting, although some of the sword ghosts she met before were inner door swordsmanship, most of them were more advanced than the basic swordsmanship, and the swordsmanship that this sword ghost was going to use sounded different.
The sword ghost didn't care what she thought, and after saluting, it naturally began to attack.
I saw it make a pen with its fingers, write a few words in the air, and read: "The chaotic clouds are low and twilight, and the snow is dancing back to the wind!"
After speaking, before Mo Tianwei could react, she noticed that there was a sudden crisis around her, and an indescribable feeling of depression lingered, she held the hilt of the cool sword, closed her eyes, and sensed carefully.
But before she could breathe, she opened her eyes, the cool sword in her hand was lightly wrapped, and the snowy sword body pulled out a bright shadow, blocking the dozens of sword qi rushing densely.
However, at this time, there was not only a crisis in front of her, but also behind her, she then swung her sword and turned around, her face was calm, and she was not surprised by the strange sword qi that roared and moved, her hand danced rapidly, and the tip of the sword connected the dots.
In an instant, three feet in front of Mo Tianwei's body, a cloud of cold light exploded, like a thousand trees blooming on a night in the east wind, and it was extremely beautiful.
The sound of dinging was endless, Mo Tianwei quickly retracted his sword, and none of the swords in the stormy parry just now missed, and none of the sword qi broke through the blockade and injured her by half a point.
She smiled back and looked at the sword ghost, as if curious to see what it would do next.
βββββββββββββI'm a cute little sword ghostβββββββββββββ
Sword Cave, 31st floor.
At this time, in the thirty-first layer of the stone room, the two sword cultivators had just finished a battle, their clothes were a little disheveled, but their breath was steady, and they were obviously not injured.
One of the men said with a smile: "Senior Sister Hua's swordsmanship is also beneficial, and Senior Brother is ashamed of himself." β
The woman was also quite happy when she heard this, and her cheeks were slightly red and said: "Why should Senior Brother Yan be arrogant, how dare Lan'er compare with Senior Brother, it is just a little bit of progress, and it should not be praised by Senior Brother." β
The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of tenderness.
After staring at each other silently for a while, the two of them suddenly laughed in unison, feeling that they were really stupid just now.
The woman said, "Senior brother, let's go to the thirty-second floor!"
Naturally, the man would not refuse, and the two went to the thirty-second floor together.
On the way, Yan Liang remembered the news he heard a few days ago, so he said, "I don't know if Senior Sister Hua has heard about the thirty-second floor of this sword cave?"
"What's the matter?" Hua Lan asked curiously, "Did anything happen on the thirty-second floor recently?"
Yan Liang saw that his junior sister was curious, and his spirits perked up, and he said: "It is said that someone broke the sword ghost on the thirty-second floor a few days ago, and the thirty-second layer was replaced by a new sword ghost!"
"Oh?" Hua Lan was also surprised, "I haven't heard of anyone breaking the sword ghost for many days, it's really rare." β
"Isn't it!" Yan Liang smiled bitterly, "Therefore, many of my fellow disciples were curious, so they deliberately went to the thirty-second floor to challenge the new sword ghost." β
"How?"
Yan Liang was about to answer, but he didn't want a commotion ahead, and the two couldn't help but look away.
But I saw three people coming in front of me, all of them were embarrassed, looking depressed, and they were talking to each other, not knowing what they were saying.
When they got closer, the two of them heard that these three people were talking about the thirty-second floor of the Sword Cave.
Yan Liang and Hua Lan glanced at each other, and they both saw curiosity in each other's eyes, so the two stepped forward and asked, "Three senior brothers, I don't know what happened?"
Although the three of them were in a bad mood, when they saw that there was a beautiful female cultivator among the people who asked them, their anger disappeared a little, and they only said, "It's nothing, it's just that the challenge to the thirty-second layer has failed again." β
"Again?" Hua Lan keenly understood the meaning of the words.
One of them sighed, "Isn't it 'again'! In the past few days, I have tried seven or eight times, but I have not succeeded." β
The other person answered: "If it's just that our strength is not good, it's fine, but it's obviously the sword ghost......
At this point he paused, his face flushed slightly, and he didn't continue.
"It's obvious that the sword ghost is weird!" The last person was angry, "I have all challenged more than 50 layers before, but I heard that the 32nd layer has been replaced by a new sword ghost, and I was curious, so I came to challenge, but I didn't want to ......"
When Hua Lan heard this, he immediately understood.
In the Sword Cave, how many layers the disciple has challenged, then the next time he enters the Sword Cave, the previous layers can be directly passed, and he will go straight to the place where he challenged last time. If one day, someone wants to challenge the sword ghost they have defeated before, then they can do it, just take the initiative to apply.
However, if you take the initiative to apply for the challenge and can't win, then the next time you enter the Sword Cave, it will still be on this level.
That is to say, a disciple's previous grades were at the A level, and one day he wanted to challenge the B level, and if the challenge was successful, his results would naturally still be at the A level;
Therefore, there is no benefit to the challenge, generally only the sword cultivator who wants to hone a certain sword intent will choose to turn back and challenge the sword ghost with this kind of sword intent, in order to learn from one or two and increase his body, and there will be fewer challenges and failures.
The three of them just wanted to see the ability of the new sword ghost, but they didn't think that they would fail after breaking through to more than fifty floors, and then they would have a cup.
Hua Lan looked at them sympathetically, just if the ranking fell, it would only be a little shame, and it was not a big deal, but the rules of the sword cave were more than that.
As mentioned above, it is possible to earn good merit resources in the sword cave, and the distribution of good merit resources is based on the test sword tablet arrangement.
Therefore, they not only lost face, but also lost a large amount of good deeds resources - there are nearly 1,000 people between the 50th and 32nd floors, and this good deeds resources are naturally far apart.
Yan Liang had already heard about something similar, and when he thought that he and his junior sister were going to challenge the sword ghost of the thirty-second layer, his heart moved, and he asked, "What is this sword ghost's ability to make the three senior brothers unable to take a step forward?"
"Its strength is too strong, the sword intent is stronger than the previous sword ghost, once it is slashed by its sword intent......" one of them shook his head, "Then there is only one possibility of failure." β
"I remember that the sword ghost on the thirty-second floor of the Sword Cave uses the Lone Star Sword Technique and the Qiming Sword Intent," Hua Lan said, "This new sword ghost is the same, so what's so difficult to deal with?"
Hua Lan's words were not polite, he simply said directly that the three of you could win before, but now you can't, isn't it too watery.
Although the three of them were slightly angry, they thought that they had indeed been beaten repeatedly by this new sword ghost, and they couldn't say anything to argue, their faces turned red and they were ashamed.
Hua Lan shook her head and said to Yan Liang, "Senior brother, the two of us will go and meet that sword ghost." β
Yan Liang and the three of them confessed, and then walked forward with Hua Lan.
The three of them were already unhappy, and they were told by a junior sister, and at this time they were more ashamed than angry, and they continued to move forward dejectedly.
Suddenly, one of them stopped.
The remaining two looked over and asked, "Senior Brother Jin, what's wrong?"
Jin Hui's face was not good, and he said firmly: "I want to go back and challenge that hateful sword ghost again!
The two glanced at each other, both smiling bitterly, Jin Hui was the youngest, he was cut by the sword ghost, and he had no face in front of his peers, so he naturally couldn't bear this breath and wanted to go back and fight again.
But the sword ghost shot too hard, they had repeatedly challenged before, and they were not shallowly injured, the pill was used up, and the strength did not improve much, and the challenge again was just a loss, a waste of pill.
But Jin Hui ignored them, he turned his head and went straight to the place he had just left.
What can the two of them do, of course, they catch up, Jin Hui doesn't have a life-saving pill in his hand now, in case he is injured and the treatment is not timely, although he will not die, but he will inevitably suffer a little more, as friends, they still can't bear to see this scene.
When they arrived, Jin Hui hadn't started the challenge yet, he stood outside the stone with his arms crossed, watching Hua Lan and Yan Liang fight with the sword ghost.
The two approached Jin Hui and asked, "Aren't you going to challenge, how can you watch the battle from the sidelines?"
The corners of Jin Hui's lips curled slightly, "Aren't I going to see how much they are capable of!"
Let you be proud, isn't this still a temper beaten by a sword ghost?
The two of them couldn't help but laugh when they didn't understand what he meant.
Not long after, Hua Lan and Yan Liang were each swept out by the sword ghost.
They didn't suffer much damageβnot because their strength was stronger than the three of them, but because of their lack of strength, the sword ghosts didn't even have sword intent.
After the two came out, they saw the three of them, so they were naturally a little embarrassed.
However, Hua Lan is not that kind of hypocritical woman, knowing that the three of them are not parallel goods, and they are unlucky because the strength of this sword ghost is too strong, so she bent down generously and saluted, "Senior sister was arrogant before, and I hope the three senior brothers will not be surprised." β
Originally, Jin Hui was a little mindful of the three of them, but now the girls apologized, and they didn't have anything to be angry about, so the five of them resolved this holiday, but they became acquainted.
The five exchanged names, and Hua Lan and Yan Liang knew that the three were Mu Yan, Shui Xuan, and Jin Hui, and they couldn't help but sigh at the fate of the three.
Shui Qi said: "It is precisely because of the fate of the three of us that we have become friends, and now we live in the same place, and the relationship is better than before." β
After a few people chatted for a while, Hua Lan showed a little melancholy, frowning slightly: "Alas, this sword ghost is strong, but how can it be good?"
"The three of us decided to take on a task and sharpen it, and it's ......," Mu Yan was a little embarrassed, "and earn some good merit resources, and then challenge this sword ghost when you come back." β
This is a decision made by the three of them before the challenge, if they can't defeat this roadblock swordsman, they will definitely lose a lot of good deeds resources this month, and they need to take on a task to earn extra money.
Hua Lan and Yan Liang sighed, in the chat just now, they knew that these three people were just ordinary inner disciples, they had never apprenticed to a teacher, and they did not have a master subsidy compared to them, so it was naturally a little more difficult.
"I can't. Yan Liang said, "The task given to me by the master is to break through the first forty layers of the Sword Cave in seven days, I thought it was just a hand-to-hand capture, but I didn't expect to be stopped on the second day." β
"You guys are also unlucky, if you came a few days earlier, the sword ghost hasn't changed, although it is a little difficult to challenge the first forty layers, it should still be possible. β
Jin Hui had just watched the whole process of the battle between the two of them and the sword ghost, and he had a little estimate of their strength, and he felt sorry for them at this time.
Although the apprenticeship is very good, but the task assigned by the master is not completed, I am afraid that there will be a scolding.
How could Hua Lan and Yan Liang not know? That's why they were depressed.
For a while, all five of them were speechless.
At this moment, there were suddenly a few more footsteps in the quiet space, and then another voice sounded, as if a lot of people had come.
Sure enough, after a short time, they saw four people striding towards them.
Shui Xuan's eyes were sharp, and at first glance, he noticed the pattern on the placket of the person in the middle of the four, and said in a low voice: "Zixia Cloud Pattern, this is the person from Zixu Peak." β
He said this to remind the other four to be quiet and be a background board, not to cause trouble, after all, Mu Yan and Jin Hui are the same as him, they are just ordinary inner disciples, and they are not qualified to embroider cloud patterns on their clothes;
The four of them came, and they didn't mean to talk to the five people sitting in the row, and the person who walked in front turned back to the person in the middle and said, "Senior Brother Wei, this is the level!"
Wei Yu glanced at the few people around him lightly, and sneered, "Si Yi, isn't it just the thirty-second floor, it's also worth calling me?"
Si Yi was the one who spoke, and with a bitter face, he began to cry to Wei Yu about his experience of being pitted.
As he spoke, the other two also nodded their heads again and again, which made the three people next to Jin Mushui feel quite comforted when they heard itβthey knew that it was impossible for only the three of us to be pitted!
Wei Yu didn't speak this time, just calmly walked into the stone room, quietly looking at the sword ghost who walked out of the light cluster.
After the sword ghost stood still, he didn't report the sword intent of the sword technique like other sword ghosts, but just glanced at Wei Yu coldly, and his voice was indifferent: "Let you make three moves." β
Wei Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw such an arrogant sword ghost for the first time, and after reacting, he didn't laugh angrily, "I have never seen such an arrogant sword ghost, after defeating you, I will go to find out who your creator is!"
Of course the sword ghost won't answer, it's just set up by Mo Tianwei, and it's still just a combat puppet in essence, only a combat IQ, and no reply function.
Wei Yu knew that the sword ghost would not change his way of acting because of others, so he raised his sword and rushed towards the sword ghost.
He planned it, since this sword ghost dared to release such a wild word, then don't blame him for directly killing with one blow, and then see if the person who set the sword ghost is ashamed!
It's also that he hasn't learned the "Lone Star Sword Technique", otherwise he would definitely break this sword ghost and make that person a big shame!
The idea is very good, but people who are used to looking up at the stars often have a higher chance of stepping into the pit than ordinary people.
After three moves, the sword ghost made a move, and at the same time as the move, it also spoke, and the voice was flat, but when it fell into the ears of onlookers, there was always an inexplicable mockery: ""Lone Star Sword Technique", Qiming. β
Wei Yu was shocked, and then ......
Then there was no more, and he was cut in the shoulder by the snow-white sword intent, and he was bleeding profusely.
The sword ghost put away his sword, dropped a suspicious look of disdain, and said lightly: "I agreed." β
Wei Yu: "......"
Special!
Who designed this sword ghost? Give me a rough one! I promise not to kill you!
He pressed the wound with one hand, took out the pill with the other hand and took it, his eyes swept around, and found that not only the people he brought, but even the people who were on the side before were quiet, looking down at the ground, as if he hadn't seen anything just now.
Wei Yu: "......"
It's better to look at him directly, there are no three hundred taels of silver here!
Wei Yu silently left the stone room and said to Si Yi: "Go and call someone." β
Si Yi looked confused: "Huh??" "Big brother, the crowd tactics here can't be used!"
Wei Yu ignored him at all and sat down directly to heal his injuries.
Someone next to him pulled La Siyi's sleeve and whispered, "You fool, Senior Brother Wei asked you to go to Zixu Peak and call a few senior brothers over." β
"What are you shouting for?"
Wei Yu opened his eyes and glared at him, "Go and invite Senior Brother Wang and Senior Brother Gongsun...... A few senior brothers came over, and I found a treasure land, how can I enjoy it alone?"
I was trapped, and I couldn't let them escape.
Si Yi went, and on the way he finally came back to his senses, so he didn't explain what he was doing when he called someoneβlest any senior brother knew the news in advance.
Several senior brothers were very curious about how Wei Yu, who was not very familiar with them, had something to invite them, so they went.
And then...... Then I didn't know what it was when I arrived.,I don't know the inside story of the challenge.,I was cut out by the sword ghost.γ
Now everyone knows the inside story before or not, and now they know it.
But it's useless to know, because everyone is watching, and it's not a man if you don't go!
Hua Lan and Yan Liang silently shrank into the corner, vacating a large space, because it was already overcrowded now.
When Mo Tianwei finally decided that this Sword Cave cultivation was over, he returned along the same path and came to the thirty-second floor, what he saw was a group of people squatting in the corner and looking at the light cluster in the stone room sadly.
Mo Tianwei: Is this some strange ceremony?
