Such a change in Fuyao's body was something Xu Yan never expected, originally he thought that his saber was going to be completely destroyed under his own foolishness.

So, Xu Yan, who had a sense of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, only tried to control it after seeing that Fuyao had stopped changing, and then magically found that he only needed to summon it between his thoughts now, and it could move his heart at will and feel his summons.

Previously practicing "Edgeworthiness" When Xu Yan wants to control Fuyao against the enemy, he can only rely on the law to produce a mysterious breath between each other as a traction, in order to succeed, although this method of the sword is quite mysterious and good, but in the end, when the sword is in the end, he still has to pinch the seal of the hand, and he has to focus all his attention on this method, therefore, this process is actually a little cumbersome and disadvantages, such as when being killed by people in close quarters, often he can no longer take out to control Fuyao, and can only use close-quarters sword moves, or martial arts to replace the art of the sword。

However, now after Fuyao successfully recognized the master, this embarrassing situation was finally solved, and Xu Yan didn't have to worry anymore, he still needed to use complicated hand pinching to make a decision when facing the enemy with the sword, and he had to distance himself from the enemy in advance.

Floating in front of him, the hilt of the sword is still the same, but the sword body has changed greatly, and holding it in the palm of his hand again, Xu Yan's whole body was shocked, at this moment, when he really touched the other party, he felt that between himself and him, there was indeed an indescribable sense of mystery than before, as if it had become a part of himself since then.

Xu Yan placed Fuyao on his legs, holding the Night Pearl in one hand, and gently stroking the sword body that had become scarlet at the moment, only to find that the blood-filled sword body was actually engraved with quite complex patterns, which couldn't help but make it look even more hideous and terrifying, full of murderous aura.

"If you don't look at the hilt of the sword, it is estimated that in this world, no one will be able to recognize you, you are the famous sword that moved the world before, right?" Xu Yan's face was still bloodless, but his gaze was extremely soft, and he said with a chuckle.

Immediately, he slowly closed his eyes, took another deep breath, and then moved his mind slightly.

Sensing his summons, Fuyao slowly floated up from his legs, and then circled twice in the air, like a butterfly dancing, and in the process, saw that its original three-foot-long sword body also shrank rapidly in a moment, and in the blink of an eye, it was only the size of a finger.

The reason why "Sword Raising Technique" is called this name naturally focuses on the word 'sword raising', but how can you raise a sword?

Xu Yan had seen two people who knew how to "raise swordsmanship" before, one was Bai Bing, who had his real name flying sword, and the other was naturally the cardinal who had now given the sword scripture to him, but the two sisters, without exception, had their own swords into their own qi mansions, and then slowly recuperated.

After Fuyao turned into the size of a finger, it no longer looked like it was full of murderous aura as before, but because it was blood-red all over, it always looked different from ordinary flying swords, but fortunately, Xu Yan, as its owner, did not have to be afraid of its temperament, and at the beginning, it was Fuyao himself who flew in front of him from the sword pool lined with thousands of flying swords.

Xu Yan slowly opened his eyes, and his incomparably deep eyes were staring at Fuyao tightly, and then in his mouth, he gently spit out a word, "Receive".

Fuyao felt Xu Yan's will, and instantly turned into a streamer, shooting directly at his eyebrows, and then, as if it had penetrated into an invisible wall, it disappeared from the latter's eyebrows. And in the next moment, it came to one of Xu Yan's two qi mansions, and suspended in it very quietly, like a swallow returning from afar, returning to its lair.

......

Wait until it gets dark.

Xu Yan, who had been pranayama for about two hours, had finally recovered a lot, but it could still be seen that his spiritual qi today was still significantly worse than before.

A heart injury, even if it's just a little bit, is a very big injury with sequelae, because after all, this is the root of human beings.

With the current martial arts cultivation, Xu Yan has not yet opened up the tricks of the whole body, so he is naturally far from that kind of golden body, and as for wanting to reach the realm of rebirth of broken limbs and spring of dead wood, it is even worse than 108,000 miles.

After Xu Yan heard a burst of movement outside, he also began to pack his bags, and only after tightening everything in the storage bag, he opened the corner of the leather tent and looked at the sky at this time, and saw that there was still a light rain in the sky, so he could only take out a huge bamboo hat from the storage bag and put it on his head, and then he got out of his tent.

It didn't take much time for Xu Yan to dismantle the tent, which was very huge when it was stretched out, but it didn't take up much space after being put away, and retracted it into his storage bag, and at this time, almost all the ten people in the company had already prepared.

Without any signal, everyone gathered around the pavilion at the four forks, and after each took out dry food and ate it briefly, they began to hurry along one of the forks.

As we all know, as long as it rains, the mountain road will become very difficult, let alone when going down the mountain, and the soil in Lingzhou is mostly loess, so when Xu Yan and others walk on the yellow mud road soaked in rain, they can't help but feel that the mountain road under their feet has become extremely slippery, but fortunately, they are already quite good cultivators in cultivation, compared to ordinary people in the market, it is naturally much easier.

But it was easy, and by the time they had completely walked out of the area of the mountains and rivers and reached the foot of the last mountain, it had taken them about three hours.

It was almost the afternoon of the day.

After Xu Yan and the others walked out of the mountains and rivers, they finally came to the relatively flat terrain by the stream.

From here to the north, there is another twenty miles to reach Songyang Town, but after they have rested by the stream for a while, and have a brief lunch, Zeng Yuesong, one of the ten, took the lead in standing up and saying goodbye to everyone temporarily.

Xu Yan and the others said goodbye to him one by one, and there were no surprises, after all, when they discussed it in advance, they had already learned that Zeng Yuesong's hometown was in a place called 'Luoyang Town' in the south of the Lotus Sect, and now that he had left the mountain, it was a good time to go south along this stream.

Seeing Zeng Yuesong's figure, slowly disappearing from sight in the staggered rain and fog, Xu Yan and the others did not have much feeling. The immediate departure is only temporary, and by the end of the year at the latest, they will be reunited.

So, after Zeng Yuesong left, Xu Yan and the others did not stay here too much, and then continued to go north along the stream.

Today's Xu Yan is uncharacteristically at the end of the team, anyway, it is not a travel task in the mountains now, and the road conditions and terrain are not complicated, so he naturally has no need to be the team leader, but while walking with the team, he enjoys the scenery in the rain, which makes Xu Yan feel quite comfortable.

Chen Qinghe actually found Xu Yan's abnormality when he set off early in the morning, this abnormality is not his walking order, but the complexion on his face, but because when he was in the mountains, most of the roads under his feet were narrow and winding, so Chen Qinghe was not very distracted, so he never had the opportunity to ask or care for Xu Yan, and only now that the terrain is flat and the road conditions have improved, Chen Qinghe can be regarded as having found an opportunity.

Chen Qinghe slowed down invisibly, and soon came to the end of the line, and he asked Xu Yan bluntly, "Little junior brother's face is so bad today, but what is the physical discomfort?"

When Xu Yan heard his inquiry, he just smiled and replied: "Oh, there is no discomfort, it's just that the thunderstorm last night was too noisy, interrupting my original meditation, I thought that the thunder would come again, but I simply stopped practicing in the second half of the night, maybe I didn't sleep all night, which caused some lack of rest, but it made the senior brother care." ”

Chen Qinghe naturally didn't believe this statement, after all, the other party was an extremely powerful martial cultivator, not to mention that he didn't sleep all night, or he didn't sleep for a week, and he wouldn't have such a pale face, but since the other party didn't want to say it directly, he wouldn't be entangled anymore, who hasn't had a secret, right?

So, Chen Qinghe nodded with a smile and replied: "So that's the case, the thunder last night was really deafening, and I think everyone present should have been awakened at that time." Without waiting for Xu Yan to speak, Chen Qinghe changed the topic and said: "By the way, we are not very far from Songyang Town now, and it is estimated that we will be able to enter Songyang Town smoothly in about an hour, so we have to temporarily separate from the junior brother." ”

Xu Yan snorted before he spoke again: "Senior brother, you shouldn't plan to rest in the town, right?"

Chen Qinghe was not surprised that Xu Yan guessed their decision, but nodded and replied: "Well, after all, I have just rested before, and I won't be tired, so I specially came over to say hello to the junior brother." ”

Xu Yan replied with a smile: "Senior brother has a heart. ”

......

An hour later.

Sure enough, the group came to the outskirts of Songyang Town, but even if they were still about a mile away from entering the town at this moment, they could clearly see the whole appearance of the town built between the mountains and rivers.

Chen Qinghe and the others did not enter this town called Songyang Town with Xu Yan, but at the fork of a road outside the town, they turned to the path on the west side and walked towards the mountains, and after Chen Qinghe and the others walked away completely, Qiao Mu, who was born in this town, sighed helplessly and said: "Senior brother, they are inevitably too anxious, I originally thought that I could finally have this opportunity, at least let them go to my house to stay for a night and then hurry, hey, it's really ......."

After hearing this, Xu Yan, who now had only three people left, shook his head with a smile and replied: "Senior brother, they are eager to return to their hometown, Senior Brother Qiao, you can only be more considerate, okay, since they are all gone, then let's go to the city too." ”

Hearing Xu Yan speak, Qiao Mu naturally immediately retracted his thoughts, and then said with a smile: "Although Senior Brother and they are gone, since Senior Brother and Senior Sister Gu are going to pass through the town, they must go to my house to make a move, so that I can do my landlord's friendship, otherwise if my father knows that you have passed through my door and do not enter, he will have to teach me that I will not be a man." ”

When Xu Yan and Gu Xueqing heard this, they couldn't help but smile at each other, and then Xu Yan opened his mouth and replied: "Senior Brother Qiao is so sincerely invited, we should go and say hello to our uncle, and then hurry on." ”

Hearing Xu Yan's extremely refreshing acceptance, Qiao Mu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled and took the initiative to lead the way in front, at the same time, he did not forget to tell Xu Yan and the others about the development trajectory of this town, as well as the local customs, etc., but what they didn't know was that just as they entered the city, there was a man in a lily coat in the distance, who seemed to be doing farm work, was watching them enter the city.

Xu Yan is not small interested in these market stories, because these are the lives that he did not have in that world, and now since he chose to be reborn in this heavenly domain, he deserves to have a sense of following the local customs, and another reason is that Qiao Mu seems to have little to say in ordinary times, but he didn't expect that when he opened the stubble, he was the kind of person who talked endlessly, and in the process of telling him, even if it was just a trivial matter, he could often express things in a humorous and witty way, and he had the potential to be a storyteller, so he walked down in the city, Xu Yan was also interesting to listen to what he said, and even smiled and echoed a few words from time to time.

At this time, he had taken Xu Yan and the others completely into the city, and came to the arbor in the downtown area, and suddenly paused his tone, and then turned his head to Xu Yan and said with a smile: "Little junior brother, you don't know, although our town does not have any special stories and experiences, let alone how prosperous it is, and even compared with other towns in Lingzhou, it is at the bottom of the stream, but it has one point, but we must all be grateful." ”

Hearing this, Xu Yan couldn't help but be interested, and immediately asked with a smile: "Oh, why is this?"

Seeing that the other party was aroused, Qiao Mu did not hide it, and replied bluntly with a smile: "Because the materials that we usually need in the Lotus Sect basically have to be purchased by the disciples in the sect who come down the mountain to this town." ”

Hearing this answer, Xu Yan suddenly realized, but at the same time, he was a little curious and said: "But isn't it too far away from the sect, how hard it is, we just went down the mountain to come here, it took a day and a half, and those disciples from the sect, when they returned to the sect, they still had to pick up the purchased materials, wouldn't it take four or five days to come and go?"

When Qiao Mu heard this question, he had already done this drudgery, otherwise he would not have been able to know such a detailed thing, so he immediately replied with a wry smile: "It's not, basically it takes about five days to go back and forth, but there is no way, Songyang Town is already the closest town to the sect, so people in the world always feel that we cultivators seem to be infinitely beautiful and lofty on the surface, but in fact, they don't know that we are actually as hard as them, or even more than that." ”

After Xu Yan heard this, he had roughly guessed that the other party must have done this, so he immediately nodded, expressing his deep opinion.

Qiao Mu sighed for a long time, and then said with a wry smile: "And at the beginning, it was okay to do these chores, it can be regarded as a kind of cultivation method to strengthen the body, but after really cultivating to the third floor, and being promoted to the outer and inner disciples, I realized that when the original cultivation reached this point, I had to go to the task pavilion to accept a higher-level task, hey, it was much more dangerous than procurement, this must have been felt by the junior disciple." ”

Xu Yan, who had already traveled through the most dangerous area of the Hundred Mountain Ancestors and had seen Ziyunluan hovering in the air with his own eyes, recognized Qiao Mu's words incomparably, and replied to him in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Qiao's remarks really couldn't be more accurate. ”

While talking, the three of them had been walking in the town for almost a quarter of an hour, and at this time, Qiao Mu, who was walking in front, finally stopped, turned around and said to Xu Yan and the others with a smile: "My house has arrived, this is it." ”

Hearing Qiao Mu's voice, Xu Yan and Gu Xueqing glanced up at the place he said, and then found that it was actually a teahouse, the name was quite simple, and it was directly taken from the name of this town, called Songyang Teahouse.

Xu Yan smiled and asked, "Your family has a teahouse?"

Qiao Mu shrugged his shoulders and replied with a smile: "Yes, because my father was originally a tea planter, so he sold tea on the side, and also sold tea by the way, but in fact, in the town, there are not many people who drink tea, more often, it is for the villagers, The tea made by the neighbor next door, and he doesn't charge money for acquaintances, especially on a rainy day like today, the weather is not hot, so there are very few people who take the initiative to come to drink tea, but it doesn't matter, my father was born without desire, as long as he likes it, he can live whatever he wants. ”

Hearing such an interesting statement, Xu Yan and Gu Xueqing couldn't help laughing, and Xu Yan hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Hearing you say this, I really want to meet my uncle." ”

Qiao Mu smiled heartily and said, "Why not, junior brother, senior sister Gu, come, please come in quickly." ”

Hearing Qiao Mu's invitation again, Xu Yan and Gu Xueqing no longer hesitated, and immediately followed him into the teahouse called Songyang, however, as soon as Xu Yan stepped into the teahouse and saw clearly the middle-aged man sitting at the counter dozing off, the expression on his face was instantly stunned.

......

In an inn not far from the teahouse.

Seeing that Xu Yan and the three of them had entered the teahouse opposite at this moment, the eyes of the two men sitting on a square table near the door of the inn couldn't help but flash a trace of gloom.

One of the men whispered to his companions: "Second brother, we have been waiting in the town for so long, and we finally waited for them to come, but in terms of their numbers, it seems that they are different from the news we got before, didn't they say that they will have ten people going north together this time?"

The man who was called the second brother heard his eldest brother's question, his eyes narrowed slightly, but then he just shook his head and replied: "I am also quite puzzled about this matter, you might as well wait for the third brother to come back, and ask him about the specific situation first." ”
