Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 13: 12 styles of vertical sword

"What? You received the Water Light Mask and spent twenty spiritual coins to buy the Twelve Styles of the Longitudinal Sword?"

Wei Tianchong stared at Tang Jie.

Tang Jie corrected: "I have received the twelve vertical sword styles, and I also spent twenty spiritual coins to buy a water light shield."

Wei Tianchong almost went crazy: "Is there any difference?"

Tang Jie spread his hands: "After all, what you bought is a book on magic, isn't it?"

"You also know that the Twelve Movements of Zongjian are martial arts and not technical books?" Wei Tianchong felt that he was going to be mad at Tang Jie's words.

Martial arts are the skills of mortals.

That is to say, this is something that ordinary people can practice. Real practitioners do not bother to learn this thing.

Tang Jie was so crazy that he actually went to buy, oh no, get a martial arts book.

This is like if you can’t go to Yale, Harvard, Tsinghua, and Peking University, you have to go to a third-rate pheasant university!

"After all, it is universal for immortals and mortals." Tang Jie said with a smile.

"That's also a martial skill!"

Wei Tianchong beat his chest and stamped his feet, with a look on his face that said, "I hate that iron cannot become steel."

The so-called immortal and mortal universal means that this martial arts is somewhat special, and practitioners can also play a certain role.

The Twelve Postures of the Vertical Sword is such a special martial arts book. If not for this, it would not have been included in Tianyi Pavilion.

The Twelve Postures of the Longitudinal Sword is a method for practicing slashing with a sword, which requires certain force.

For this power requirement, mortals use their own physical strength, and cultivators can use it as their own spiritual power. Sword skills driven by spiritual power are naturally stronger and faster than ordinary power, but that's all. After all, it is just a martial art that exerts the power of the weapon itself. It cannot make it more powerful through spells, nor will it change anything.

"You don't even have a sword, how can you practice the twelve vertical sword postures!" Wei Tianchong shook his head and sighed.

Tang Jie smiled: "Then buy one."

"Can you afford it? The cheapest low-grade magic weapon costs several hundred spiritual coins, right?" Wei Tianchong snorted coldly.

Weapons are divided into three categories: weapon, magic weapon, and divine treasure. Weapon versus magic, treasure versus magic, and treasure versus magical power, respectively correspond to three levels of spells, which are divided into upper, middle, lower, and top grades. It is said that there are Tao soldiers above Shenzhen, which can only be used by those who master the Tao, but they only exist in legends.

Tang Jie said with a smile: "Buy some Fantie first and practice."

"You are here to cultivate immortality, not to practice martial arts!" Wei Tianchong wailed, holding his head and wailing: "This is really embarrassing. Don't say you are my servant when you go out in the future."

Tang Jie was speechless: "Are you worried? I don't even think you have opened your spiritual eyes yet."

Wei Tian jumped up and said, "Who said that? I'm almost done. In ten days at most, you're only ten days ahead of me!"

"Really? Congratulations to the young master." Tang Jie became interested.

To open spiritual eyes, one month is the high-speed period, two months is the standard period, and three months is the minimum period.

If Wei Tianchong can open his spiritual eyes within ten days, then there is absolutely no problem for him to be promoted to the mortal world, provided that he maintains this speed.

The Wei family has high hopes for him, and they probably gave this boy a lot of elixirs. In addition, he has been working hard during this period and has also practiced the relatively simple Shaohai Xuanyuan Jue. It is normal for him to achieve such an achievement. .

"That's natural." Wei Tianchong said proudly: "When the time comes, I will definitely choose a good spiritual art to learn, but unlike you, you will choose the twelve vertical sword styles, even your water light shield. It’s also a **** choice.”

The water mask is not rubbish.

This is a real spiritual technique. Using this technique, you can form a water shield to protect yourself and weaken attacks.

The problem is with Tang Jie, your sister. You learned the Shaohai Cave Golden Technique!

What are the combat characteristics of Shaohai Cave Golden Jue?

Gather your energy!

Fast attack!

Breaking armor!

It is an offensive mentality!

You said that when you reach a high level in the future, it is normal to learn some defensive spells by the way, but what kind of water light shield are you learning now?

It’s almost enough for you to learn bone-penetrating acupuncture!

However, faced with the choice of the Twelve Styles of Zongjian, Wei Tianchong was too lazy to scold Tang Jie with the water light shield.

I am a very smart person on weekdays, but why am I so stupid when it comes to studying the Fa?

Looking at Wei Tianchong's heartbroken look, Tang Jie felt quite relieved.

Unknowingly, the relationship between myself and the young master has become closer and closer.

Although Wei Tianchong today is still willful, lazy, and has many problems, and he still yells at him and orders him to do what a servant should do, he at least knows how to care for him.

This is good.

Ignoring how Wei Tianchong was "angry for his inability to fight and sad for his misfortune", Tang Jie went to the workshop with two magic books, bought an iron sword with three coins of silver, and then returned to Taoranju. Gu went to practice his sword by himself.

As the name suggests, this twelve vertical sword postures naturally have twelve sword postures.

Each sword style has different movements, including striking, stabbing, teasing, cutting, etc., but most of them are simple and direct, mainly focusing on being quick and sharp, and directly attacking the vital point. It is actually a very practical sword. Law.

If it were in the mortal world, this would be considered an excellent martial art.

It's just that for the immortal family, no matter how good the mortal martial arts are, they are just ordinary skills. I have a fairy energy shield on me, no matter how you cut it, you can't break it, but with a finger, you can't dodge it no matter how you hide it. .

Skills seem so pale and meaningless in front of powerful magic that practitioners almost never delve into combat skills.

But Tang Jie obviously didn't think so.

So these days, Tang Jie practiced his sword in the yard when he had nothing to do, and occasionally practiced the water light shield - releasing the water light shield consumes ten drops of spiritual fluid at a time. At his current speed of Little Zhoutian, , it’s really not enough.

I really don’t know how many years and months it will take before we can reach the point where the breath of those powerful people can be seen in the heavens.

A few days later, Wei Tianchong completed the spiritual eye, and a few days later, Shi Meng also stepped onto the threshold of the spiritual eye.

Both of them went to Tianyi Pavilion to receive a spell.

Wei Tianchong learns the art of spiritual guidance, which releases a spiritual thread to wrap around an object, making it act as he wishes.

This was the advice Tang Jie gave him.

As a young master from an aristocratic family, Wei Tianchong is destined not to endure the hardships and sweat like a poor student. He happens to have a foundation in sculpture. In the future, it will be appropriate to focus on puppetry and develop in the direction of summoning. If anything happens, I will go to my younger brother. If there is nothing, I will go to my younger brother. , which is also consistent with his status as a wealthy young man. His Shaohai Xuan Yuan Jue is also of the "endless, continuous strength" type, and this direction is also suitable for this way.

Spiritual guidance is the most basic method of controlling puppets. It can be used to control some small objects, but it must be pulled by a spiritual thread. It cannot be invisible and breathless, and it has distance restrictions. But if you practice it well, It can also be used to control flying swords - flying swords held on a rope.

Anyway, it is not a fighting class now. Let’s prepare from the basics and practice control.

Furthermore, Wei Tianchong loves to play by nature. After being honest for a while, he has recently relapsed into his old self. With this spiritual guidance technique, it is not bad to let him enjoy himself by walking on a broomstick, sitting on a chair, and going shopping with chopsticks. It can be regarded as entertaining and educational.

As for Shi Meng, not surprisingly, he learned the art of cleaning - which can be regarded as getting rid of some of the handymen.

The days of cultivation were simple and peaceful, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Eagle's Nest.

Gu Changqing was writing urgently at his desk when there was a knock on the door: "My subordinate Gao Fei, please see the Eagle Master if you have anything to do."

"Come in."

The tall young man walked into the room, saluted Gu Changqing first, and then said: "There is news about No. 96 from Canglong Mansion."

"Go ahead." Gu Changqing continued to do his own thing without stopping.

"Report No. 42 of Wen Xin An Tang. It was found out that Tang Jie entered the Wei family three years ago and was the adopted son of Wu Nanfu and his wife in Canglong Mansion. At that time, he fainted from the cold in front of the Wu Mansion and was rescued by him."

"Freeze faint time?"

"The 342nd year of Tianshu, the twelfth lunar month."

Gu Changqing suddenly stopped writing and looked up at Gao Fei, his eyes already gleaming with light: "Three hundred and forty-two years of Tianshu?"

"Yes!" Gao Fei replied: "This is the year!"

Gu Changqing's voice suddenly became cold and stern: "Is there any other information?"

"Yes, it is said that Tang Jie's family lived in the Yeguyuan area. He was killed by horse thieves and his family was destroyed. He fled all the way to Canglong Mansion."

"Ye Guyuan? Horse thief?" Gu Changqing stood up suddenly, his voice rising an octave again.

He looked at Gao Fei and saw a smile on Gao Fei's face: "Yes, Eagle Master. A down-and-out boy from Yeguyuan who was killed by horse thieves, named Tang Jie, fainted from the cold at the Wu Family Gate Before, it happened to be a few months after Tang Jie escaped, and then he recognized his adoptive parents, entered the Wei family, and finally became a servant student and entered Xiyue Academy..."

Gu Changqing quickly asked: "Is the source reliable? Is it confirmed? How secretive is it?"

Gao Fei replied: "Absolutely reliable. This information is not a secret. The Wu family is an old man on Daliushu Street and is known to all the neighbors. The fact that Tang Jie was rescued and adopted was almost immediately known to the neighbors. , and they all knew Tang Jie. After Tang Jie became a servant, the Wu family's status rose again, and it was almost spread among the neighbors that the Wu family had two sons who were cultivators. It only took one day on the 42nd to figure out all the circumstances. , there is absolutely no way something could go wrong."

"What about the Wei Mansion?"

"That's it? The Wei Mansion doesn't admit strangers, and there are spiritual masters guarding it. It's not easy to sneak in. Of course, it should be possible to spend some time and effort, but it's not worth it. After all..." Gao Fei hesitated for a moment and didn't say any more.

"After all, this news is enough, right?" Gu Changqing said.

Gao Fei didn't dare to answer.

Gu Changqing smiled, and the previous excitement had disappeared.

He sat back in his seat, leaned back on the chair, and closed his eyes slightly, seeming to be thinking about something.

Gao Fei was confused, waited for a while, and said softly: "Eagle Master?"

"Yes." Gu Changqing hummed in gratitude.

Then he said: "Now it seems that there is indeed something very suspicious about this Tang Jie."

"Then Lord Eagle..."

Gu Changqing slowly opened his eyes: "In this case, I really don't understand why Tang Jie shouted that way when he first entered school."

"This..." Gao Fei also hesitated.

He thought for a while and finally said: "I don't know, but I know it's not because the more dangerous the place is, the safer it is."

Gu Changqing burst out laughing: "Don't mention that idiot. I thought about it for a while about the college's announcement. There are four possibilities."

"The first possibility is that this is simply a coincidence. This Tang Jie has nothing to do with the Tang Jie we are looking for. He is indeed just pursuing his ambitions."

"The second possibility is that this Tang Jie is still not the real Tang Jie. The real Tang Jie is very likely to be hiding among the students under a pseudonym, and deliberately paid him to come and attract our attention."

Hearing these two possibilities, Gao Fei frowned. Frankly speaking, he didn't like these two inferences.

Gu Changqing has continued: "The third possibility is that he is Tang Jie. The purpose of his shout is to attract our attention."

"Why?" Gao Fei asked.

"Yes, why? This is the key!" Gu Changqing said: "If he is really Tang Jie and did this deliberately, then I can only give one explanation... He is deliberately provoking us."

"Provoke us?" Gao Fei couldn't believe his ears: "Provoke Tianshen Palace?"

"Young people are loyal and energetic, so it's not uncommon for them to do strange things."

"No matter how vigorous and vigorous you are, you are not afraid that we will find him?"

"The problem is right here... right here!" Gu Changqing tapped his fingers lightly and asked Gao Fei: "Can we catch him now?"

Gao Fei was stunned and opened his mouth but could not speak.

Gu Changqing laughed softly: "Yes, we can't! This is the territory of the Xiyue Sect, and he is in Xiyue Academy! We can't catch him, at least not openly."

In the past three years, Tianshen Palace has been looking for people in the Xiyue Sect, and there are countless suspected targets.

People like Tang Jie say more is not too much, and even if they say less, they are not necessarily less.

There are always some people who look like Tang Jie. Tang Jie and Ji Ziqian are not the only ones who try their best to get involved in major families in order to enroll in school, but there are too many.

Some impatient people tried to take action and arrested people for torture.

In three years, this kind of thing only happened twice, and each time the Tianshen Palace had to pay a large sum of money to calm the anger of the Xiyue Sect and not drive them all out.

Of course, it doesn’t matter whether they are really or fakely angry. What matters is that the price to quell this anger is not low!

The price was so high that even the Tianshen Palace itself had to send people to warn Gu Changqing that he should not act arbitrarily before the target was determined.

They don’t want to give the Xiyue Sect a third chance to rip off.

"It seems that this is the basis for his provocation, but he also underestimates my Tianshen Palace. He doesn't really think that relying on the academy can rest easy for the rest of his life, right?" Gao Fei said angrily.

"No!" Contrary to his expectation, Gu Changqing shook his head: "You forgot that I said, there are four possibilities."

"Eagle Master, what do you mean..."

Gu Changqing tapped the table rhythmically and said: "A young man who can make Xu Muyang take him away at the first sight; a young man who can make Xu Muyang trust him with his treasures after only half a year of getting along. ; Now it seems that he is still a young man who ignored the difficulties and successfully entered Xiyue Academy. Such a person, after enduring it for three years, would take the initiative to expose himself and provoke us just for the sake of impulse? As you said, He's just a little kid, can't we really do nothing about him? No, I don't believe it, I don't believe this kid is so stupid! I would rather believe in the first and second possibilities than the third!"

"But in your first and second possibility, he is not Tang Jie."

"Yes, so if he is really Tang Jie, then there must be a fourth possibility..."

"What is it?"

"I don't know. ~IndoMTL.com~ Gu Changqing replied: "This is exactly what I can't understand. If he was really Tang Jie, why on earth would he do this? I know there is a fourth possibility, but I don't know the possible answer. And this answer is very likely to be the real answer..." Gu Changqing touched his forehead and closed his eyes slightly.

Gao Fei knew this was Gu Changqing's behavior when he was in trouble.

Gu Changqing has always had a high self-esteem. He thinks that he can clearly see the psychological activities of all the targets being hunted.

But this time, when he assumed that Tang Jie was Tang Jie, he found that he was completely unable to understand the meaning of Tang Jie's behavior.

This is the source of his depression.

To some extent, this was also a source of uneasiness for him.

If Tang Jie is really Tang Jie, is there any conspiracy and trap waiting for him behind his actions?

Gu Changqing will definitely think so.

"Master Eagle, no matter what, Tang Jie is an extremely suspicious target. If you can't figure something out... just do it before talking about it." Gao Fei said cautiously.

Hearing this, Gu Changqing's movements froze.

His brows gradually unfurled, and a smile appeared on his face: "Sorry, Gao Fei, I've fallen into the same old habit again. You're right, don't think about things you can't figure out, do it first and then talk about it. It would be ridiculous to stop doing anything because you are suspicious..."

Speaking of this, Gu Changqing took a deep breath and said seriously: "Promote Tang Jie to a Class A target. 1: Inform our people in the academy that the information about Tang Jie will continue to be suppressed. Don't let Xi The Yue faction noticed him. The second faction approached him to inquire for further information. The third faction looked for an opportunity to search his room, and the student Lin did not let it go. If he was really Tang Jie, the Bingjian should be near him. As long as you find something, nothing else matters."

"Yes!"
