Chapter 273: Swordsmanship competition on the sword-testing stone, a ghost appears in front of the Dragon and Tiger Gate
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed quickly.
Seven days have passed since Li Daoxuan returned to Longhu Mountain. During these seven days, the master and others have read ancient books and tried more than a dozen dream-entering spells, but as Elder Zhenlian said, none of them had any effect.
They were simply unable to invade the old Heavenly Master's Yang Spirit.
Li Daoxuan also consulted the Green-clothed Lady, but with her cultivation and knowledge, she didn't have any good solution. However, she suggested a second-best method, which was the Taoist method of using weapons to resolve the problem.
Actively use the art of weapon transformation to destroy the old Heavenly Master's physical body, and then use the art of soul calling to awaken the old Heavenly Master's yang spirit. In this way, the old Heavenly Master can become a wandering immortal, which is the Taoist term for a corpse-transmigrating immortal.
If you do not become one of the five immortals, you will fall into the lower realms.
The strength of an old Taoist priest who becomes a corpse-reincarnating immortal will even be greatly reduced, because he cannot use many Taoist magical powers, and his potential has been exhausted, making it impossible for him to make any further progress.
This was a very cruel thing for the old Taoist priest.
According to Lady Qingyi, the old Heavenly Master has a very profound foundation. If nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely become a true immortal and his future will be limitless. However, if he becomes a corpse-reincarnated immortal, it would be tantamount to destroying his own Great Wall.
And the most crucial thing is that the process of becoming a corpse-reincarnating immortal is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, your soul may be scattered. Considering the old Taoist priest’s comatose state, the possibility of success is less than 50%.
Li Daoxuan informed his master and others of the news. Zhang Qianyang was very hesitant and did not accept it.
In addition, the Green-clothed Lady told Li Daoxuan a good news. With the help of the Supreme Golden Liquid, Sister Yu's growth rate has increased significantly. She will mature in the lotus in three months at the shortest and half a year at the longest.
Compared with the previous thirty to fifty years, this is already extremely fast.
…
Longhu Mountain, Sword Testing Stone.
This is the Sword Stone Test, one of the "Ten Don'ts" of Longhu Mountain. Legend has it that when Zhang Tianshi first came to Longhu Mountain to make elixirs, the Earth God didn't buy it. He pointed at the mountain and said, "This is my land. How can I let you stay? If your sword can split this mountain in half, then I will let you stay."
As a result, Zhang Tianshi swung his sword and split the mountain into two halves, becoming the sword-testing stone we see today.
The sword-testing stone seems to still retain the sword intent of Master Zhang Tianshi from those days, so the disciples of Longhu Mountain often like to practice swordsmanship here.
As soon as Liu Bihen came back, he basically stayed in the Sword Testing Stone.
She is tall, has a cold and beautiful face, is heroic, and has extraordinary swordsmanship, making her look like a sword fairy. She is very prestigious among the disciples of Longhu Mountain, and her admirers are like carp crossing the river.
She practiced swordplay on the sword-testing stone as usual, standing amidst the surging sea of clouds. The Lilong Sword turned into a stunning beauty in her hand. The sweeping sword energy cut through the sea of clouds, revealing the golden sunlight that poured onto her heroic and bright face, as beautiful as a painting.
"Junior sister, let me spar with you!"
The disciples lined up to learn swordsmanship from Liu Bihen.
They had already discovered that Junior Sister Taiwei was extremely aloof. If they were chatting, she would not pay attention to anyone unless they wanted to ask for advice on swordsmanship.
Liu Bihen never refused any of her fellow disciples who came to challenge her. She was a combative person, and in order to fight longer, she even lowered her cultivation level to the same level as theirs.
But even so, Liu Bihen's swordsmanship was far beyond the imagination of these ordinary disciples, and few of them could last more than three moves at her hands.
After the duel, Liu Bihen would give some casual pointers based on their shortcomings in swordsmanship.
Those with high comprehension will suddenly see the light and realize something, while those with low comprehension will be confused and have no idea what is going on.
Liu Bihen would not explain too much about this. She missed the time when she practiced sword with her senior brother. Her senior brother was very talented and had great comprehension. He could not only understand what she said, but also draw inferences from it. Sometimes, it was a great inspiration to her.
It's a pity that my senior brother seems to be very busy recently...
She didn’t know if it was telepathy, but just as she thought of her senior brother, her senior brother’s voice came from a distance.
"Junior sister, Master is calling you to go back."
In the sea of clouds, Li Daoxuan was flying on the wind, holding the White Dragon Sword in his hand, wearing a green Taoist robe, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His temperament was clear and extraordinary. Anyone who saw him would exclaim, "What a handsome swordsman."
When she saw Li Daoxuan, Liu Bihen's beautiful eyes lit up. Her originally cold eyes turned into a crescent moon, revealing a clear smile.
"Brother, can you practice sword skills with me first?"
Her tone was undisguisedly intimate, with a hint of pleading.
The truth is that the people she fought against these days were all mediocre, so she basically gained nothing.
Li Daoxuan smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll only practice for half an hour."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Bihen drew out the Lilong Sword with a clang, and stabbed towards Li Daoxuan like a fairy from the sky or a rainbow piercing the sun.
He used all his strength when he made the move.
Li Daoxuan laughed loudly, drew out the White Dragon Sword, and started to practice swordsmanship with his junior sister.
With the blessing of Pure Yang Sword Intent, Li Daoxuan's talent in swordsmanship was improved to an incredible level. He could learn any sword technique at a glance and master it after practicing it. Even when he was sleeping, his swordsmanship attainments would automatically improve.
During this period of time, his swordsmanship has improved greatly. Although he is not yet better than Liu Bihen, it is not so easy for the other party to defeat him.
Both of them rose into the air and transformed into two brilliant sword lights in the sea of clouds, one blue and one white, which kept fighting and entangled. Loud sword sounds kept ringing from the sword-testing stone, like the clear singing of dragons and phoenixes, shaking the nine heavens.
The disciples on the sword-testing stone were fascinated by the scene. They could not believe that there was such amazing swordsmanship in the world.
Half an hour later.
Li Daoxuan's White Dragon Sword cut off a strand of Liu Bihen's long hair, while Liu Bihen's Glass Dragon Sword was placed on Li Daoxuan's neck.
The two men smiled at each other and sheathed their swords at the same time.
This scene was seen by many disciples, and countless young people's hearts were broken instantly.
"Junior sister, I lost."
Liu Bihen shook his head and said, "Brother, you could have cut my face with that sword just now, but you showed mercy."
She admired him very much and thought to herself that he was worthy of being her senior brother. She remembered that before, in terms of swordsmanship alone, her senior brother could not last more than a few moves from her hands , but now he could hurt her.
Li Daoxuan glanced at the disciples on the sword-testing stone and said jokingly, "If I hurt your face, I don't know how many male disciples would want to fight me to death."
Liu Bihen didn't even look at those people, and shook his head and said, "How can a person who is obsessed with appearances understand the mysteries of swordsmanship?"
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "To be honest, I am also a layman and I also like good-looking skins."
Liu Bihen said calmly: "Brother, you are different from them."
"Oh? What's the difference?"
Liu Bihen tilted his head and thought carefully, and finally said: "I don't know, it just feels... different."
Li Daoxuan laughed loudly, and pure white mist rose under his feet, carrying Liu Bihen away.
The disciples on the sword-testing stone looked at the two people flying in the clouds like a fairy with envy in their eyes.
"Only Senior Brother Li can be worthy of a fairy-like figure like Junior Sister!"
"Brother Li's ability to fly on clouds and mist is so amazing, just like a god. I really want to learn it..."
"In fact, I like Senior Brother Li very much . I asked him about the Five Thunder Talisman before, and he patiently explained it to me three times before I finally understood it!"
"That's right, that's right. When I came down the mountain that day, it was thanks to the immortality talisman that Senior Brother Li gave me that I was able to save my life from the monster's mouth!"
"Speaking of which, things seem to be a little bit unsettled near Longhu Mountain recently..."
Li Daoxuan used his magical power of summoning clouds and flew towards the Demon Subduing Hall with his junior sister. However, when passing by the mountain gate, they were both attracted by the dense yin energy below.
I saw a large group of disciples gathered in front of the mountain gate of Longhu Mountain, surrounding something, and their expressions seemed a little frightened.
Li Daoxuan opened his divine eyes and looked downwards.
The next moment, his expression was shocked, as if he had seen something very surprising.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Li Daoxuan frowned and said, "Strange, how could such a thing happen in broad daylight?"
He gave his junior sister a look.
Liu Bihen nodded, and gently pressed her slender fingers on the hilt of the sword at her waist. She held her breath and concentrated, ready to draw the sword at any time.
Li Daoxuan pressed down the cloud, and the two of them floated down from the sky.
"Great, it's Senior Brother Li!"
"And Senior Sister Taiwei!"
"Finally, a true disciple has arrived!"
…
Most of the disciples at the mountain gate are outer disciples, and the highest level of cultivation is only in the middle stage of fasting. When they saw Li Daoxuan and the other person, they seemed to have seen a savior.
Li Daoxuan nodded to them, then walked through the crowd and looked at the old pine tree at the entrance of the mountain.
When he saw the scene clearly, even the calm Liu Bihen's eyes fixed and his hand holding the sword tightened slightly.
I saw a young girl hanging under the old pine tree.
The girl was dressed quite gorgeously and seemed to be from a wealthy family. Her originally beautiful face had become hideous, her eyes were bloodshot, her face was purple, and her tongue was exposed, looking very creepy.
But what is even more creepy is her bulging belly.
She seemed to be ten months pregnant, and her belly was incredibly big, like a balloon that was stretched to the limit and was about to explode in the next moment.
The strangest thing is that even though the woman had hanged herself to death, her stomach was still shaking, as if something inside was wriggling, trying to tear open her skin and break out of her stomach.
And that strong yin energy came from her belly.
This scene was quite shocking. At the gate of the majestic Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, next to it was the stone tablet of "The Ancestor of Taoism", but such a ghostly creature with a sinister aura appeared.
Obviously, the thing in the stomach was a very scary and arrogant ghost. Not only could it move in broad daylight, but it also appeared in front of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain in a swagger, as if it was provoking someone.
The disciples nearby quickly explained to Li Daoxuan the whole story.
Just half an hour ago, a young girl came to Longhu Mountain, saying that she wanted to burn incense and pray for blessings.
But because Mount Longhu was closed for meditation, the disciples politely declined her invitation.
I thought it was just a small matter, but the girl suddenly burst into tears and cursed the Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain as a lecher who had defiled her body and now dared not see her, saying that he was worse than pigs and dogs.
After saying this, the girl wanted to hang herself.
The disciples wanted to stop her, but a horrible thing happened. The girl's belly suddenly swelled up and a terrifying Yin energy erupted, which blew the disciples aside.
They also tried things like immobilization talismans, but before the talismans could touch the other party, they were blown away by the negative energy emanating from his stomach.
They could only watch helplessly as a young girl died right before their eyes, turning into an ugly corpse hanging under the old tree, floating in the wind...
