"If you are punished, what punishment should you receive?"
Just looking at Bao Guang's expression, Yu Ci knew that no matter how bad the outcome was, it couldn't be any worse.
The little Taoist priest ran closer, took a few breaths and said: "I don't know the exact situation, but the master had a secret conversation with the man for more than half an hour, and he seemed very relaxed when he came out. I went to check the wind. He only said that he had to listen to the person's arrangements for specific matters, but it didn't look like there was a big problem."
The "that person" he was talking about was He Qing. Yu Ci knew that it must be Yu Zhou Lao Tao who helped him, and he was naturally grateful. But secret conversations?
This statement is really weird. In the past two days, Xie Yan, Xie Liang and Yu Zhou have been discussing and negotiating with the people from the mountain gate headed by He Qing about the cliff city. These three close friends obviously advanced and retreated together. In this case, Yu Zhou and He Qing...wait!
Yu Ci noticed that Baoguang's title to He Qing was really not like the respectful title that a junior would address an elder.
He frowned and was about to ask one more question. Baoguang saw the fish and dragon floating beside him, reached out to touch it, and said hello: "Hey, little guy."
This ichthyosaur has not been given a name since it returned to Yu Ci. Instead, he is used to using the title "little guy". The ichthyosaur's weak mind is still responding, and Yu Ci is too lazy to change it. , let anyone call you.
After teasing the ichthyosaur twice, Baoguang sighed: "Comparing people with each other is annoying, and the same is true with comparing ichthyosaurs! Look at hers and ours, the difference is huge! ”
The little Taoist priest was quite unwilling to speak, but he was telling the truth. Compared with the huge snake shadow that was meandering over Zhixin Guan at the moment, the little guy next to them was really pitiful.
They are both ichthyosaurs, but there is a thousand-fold difference in body shape. If the ichthyosaur in the sky has to be described as a giant python, the little one can only be regarded as an earthworm, the kind that has shrunk - remember When Hu Dan gave it to him, the little guy was even more miserable. What it is like now is because Yu Ci habitually fed it with the "spiritual feeding method", which made its skin scales shine and restored its basic vitality.
But this is just the external appearance, the internal difference is even more serious.
Since the "Spine" center moved the essence of the fish and dragon into the void in Yu Ci's heart, its appearance has plummeted. The horn-like protrusions that were already looming on the head have disappeared. The level of "skin and flesh through scales". The difference at one level is a huge difference. For ichthyosaurs, it may take thousands of years to make up for the distance in between.
What's more, without the "spine" center, the instinctive power of the ichthyosaur has been greatly reduced. It still likes to stay on Yu Ci's body to absorb vitality, but it is far from being called the "Big Stomach King". Just swallowing a little bit every day is enough for the body to grow normally. If this progress continues, thousands of years later, it will only be thrown farther and farther away from its own kind... I am afraid that the little guy can only be kept as a pet.
Yu Ci glanced at the snake shadow in the sky again. He had already been mentally prepared and had no feelings about it. Bao Guang, on the other hand, although sometimes careless, is still very polite when facing his elders. But seeing as how he addressed He Qing, it was either "her" or "that person". He was not polite. Isn't it strange?
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Is there some resentment between He Qingxian, Yu Guanchang and the others?"
The little Taoist priest couldn't hide his thoughts at all. When he heard this, his face changed and he opened his mouth to say something. But in the end, he tightened his famous big mouth and just coughed and said: "I don't quite understand this. It’s clear... By the way, I have to go back to wait on Master. I’m going back first. Senior Brother Yu, you’re busy!”
After that, he turned around and ran away regardless of what Yu Ci thought. Yu Ci looked at his back and was speechless.
There must be stories and problems here, and they are not easy to explain to outsiders. Judging from Baoguang's reaction, Yu Ci could guess a certain amount. However, since Baoguang was unwilling to say anything and Yu Zhou and other elders didn't mention it to him, there was no point in him asking further.
Shaking his head, he walked a few steps behind him in the forest. Logically speaking, since the conclusion has been reached in the meditation, it would be a good time for him to go back now, but now he felt a little emotional for no reason, so he simply found a clean place and sat down.
Leaning against the big tree, he looked up at the sky. In the sky, the huge snake shadow still lingered. After looking at it for a long time, this snake image is like a long rope, and I always feel something is wrong.
Yu Ci understood that this was a binding force and was the inevitable result after joining the Lichen Sect. Here, he received the guidance of the Immortal Chief, obtained the inheritance of secret techniques, and was able to use rich resources that he had never dared to imagine before. This made his cultivation improve by leaps and bounds, and his path to cultivation suddenly became smooth. But accordingly, he must assume certain responsibilities and abide by certain regulations.
In fact, for the outer disciples, this kind of binding force is minimal. But in the past ten years or so, he has become accustomed to being free and wild, doing things according to his heart, often without considering the consequences. When comparing the two, the difference is particularly obvious.
He couldn't help but wonder if there was a model in the world that allowed people to be free and practice without hindrance. But when I think about it again, I feel that this idea is really greedy. How can there be any reason to take advantage of all the benefits in the world?
Hey, he felt that his thoughts were a little delusional, so he took out the Pure Yang Talisman Sword.
The vain and entangled thoughts were cut off by the sword energy in the blink of an eye.
After that day of training to kill the evil demon, Yu Ci found that he liked the feeling of focusing on the sword more and more. In that state, all confused thoughts will be restored, allowing him to use the simplest and most direct way to solve the most complex problems.
In contrast, other types of cultivation, whether it is "Xuanyuan Fundamental Qi Method", Talisman cultivation, soul induction, sacrifice, etc., although they can achieve the purpose of concentration, they often also have a full sense of accomplishment. But practicing swordsmanship made him feel far less satisfied.
This is very similar to what he has felt for many years: he is good at talismans, but loves swords more!
Playing with the Chunyang Talisman Sword, the talisman patterns on the wooden sword, which is more than a foot long, are clearly visible. After injecting the "Innate Qi", a nearly two-foot-long flaming blade extended from the sword. With a slight wave, the flaming blade roared and easily sank into the tree trunk on one side, leaving a deep scorch mark.
If Yu Ci wanted to, he could easily cut off the big tree that was as thick as an arm's length, but a year ago, this was nothing more than a luxury wish.
With this change, in addition to distinguishing thoughts and entering the realm of spiritual connection, more importantly, Ye Bin gifted Banshan Mirage Sword Intent, which led to a qualitative improvement in his swordsmanship. Driven by the sword intent of Mid-level Mirage, monks at the same level become vulnerable and can even pose a threat to the elixir-returning monks at a higher level.
That day in the wilderness, Xie Yan taught him the method of using sword intent to defeat evil. Although it was only a small skill, it made him understand the sword intent to a higher level. In the past two days, he has been thinking about a certain issue. , hoping to make another breakthrough in swordsmanship...
Perhaps it was because he paused for too long. Fish and dragons swayed their heads and rubbed against him, devouring the vitality that became more delicious due to the "spiritual feeding method". Yu Ci ignored it. Without the "spine" center, the threat of the little guy has been infinitely close to zero. If you let go, you might even be able to hold it to death.
The little guy has long since lost his "ambition" and just travels around the body, having a great time. But within a few breaths, its body suddenly trembled. Yu Ci connected with it mentally and felt something. When he raised his head, his eyes were filled with darkness.
Over the maple forest, a slender snake shadow circled down. It did not enter the forest, but hung down its fist-sized head connected to its slender neck. It had two short horns like antlers on its head, which were also black in color. But the fork at the top shows a yellow color.
Yu Ci noticed that the big guy's facial features were clear, but his eyes were still narrowed to a slit, and it was so dark that he couldn't see clearly. Obviously, although this object is huge, it is still in the stage of "growing marrow and horns", and has not yet transformed into a dragon and achieved the body of a heavenly dragon.
Of course, if you become a heavenly dragon, how can you accept being raised by humans?
After having this thought, Yu Ci stood up and saluted the figure on the side of the head of the fish dragon: "He Xianchang."
He Qing just walked in from outside the maple forest. She was wearing a short undershirt and a long skirt. The color was extremely plain, but her face was still serious. Her habitual expression made shallow arc lines appear on the side of her cheeks, making people think that she had always been dull. With a stern face, he faced everything with a stern attitude.
In fact, Yu Ci has never seen her smile since they met.
He Qing glanced at him and said, "Yu Ci."
Yu Ci thought that when she wanted to decide on punishment, she should say "yes".
"Are you good at using a sword?"
Yu Ci was stunned. This has nothing to do with punishment or anything like that, is it just chatting?
He felt a little weird, but this question hit exactly what he was thinking before, so he smiled and said loudly: "Excellent Immortal, my disciple likes to use swords."
He Qing looked at his face and nodded slightly: "How do you use the sword?"
Yu Ci still didn’t understand what He Qing was thinking, but the female cultivator’s two questions in a row scratched his itch. Yu Ci didn’t care about anything else and still smiled and said: “Fighting life and death with a sword, that’s it.”
"Oh, it's not like you just said it casually."
Although there was no big change in her expression, He Qing's tone became more and more casual. She took a step forward, closed the distance with Yu Ci, and said softly: "Explain it?"
At this point, Yu Ci had nothing to hide. He stood up straight and said in a loud voice: "This disciple only hopes that with the sword, he can erase all the gaps with the powerful enemy..."
He did not deliberately organize the words, but simply stated his thoughts straightforwardly.
The so-called erasing the gap with powerful enemies does not mean cutting them off with one sword and making them invincible. It means that under his sword, any powerful enemy will be dragged to the line of life and death by him. It didn't matter if the other party could wipe him out with a wave of his hand. As long as he hit his vital point with a sword before that, and ended his life earlier, that would be enough.
He Qing was speechless after hearing this, and finally moved his eyes away from Yu Ci's face, shaking his head slightly: "It looks like it, but it doesn't look like it...
The words suddenly stopped, and a genuine expression of astonishment appeared on the female cultivator's face as she looked next to Yu Ci. Yu Ci was confused and looked along her line of sight. At the end of it, there was the little guy swimming.
The female cultivator’s voice suddenly dropped a few minutes:
"You fish dragon, where is the 'true energy'?"
