Volume 2: The Great Tribulation of the Lich Chapter 142: Asking for the Sword, Showing Off Wealth
"Twenty-eight constellations? Heaven? Immortal Palace?"
Yu Ding stared at Mingyu with a dull look, his lips opened and closed several times, and finally turned into a deep sigh.
"The Heavenly Court is full of talented people, and I am just a casual cultivator. Why... why do you insist on arresting me?"
Whether it is the Heavenly Palace or the Immortal Palace, they are both behemoths for a casual cultivator like him. Without the Jade Tripod, he would not want to be involved in the fight between the two.
That is a big whirlpool, a big cause and effect, a big catastrophe!
And this spiritual master in front of me... is a big trouble!
Yes, Yu Ding had guessed his identity through Mingyu's narration.
Mingyu hugged Xinyuehu and answered Yuding without hesitation: "Because we are destined to be together."
Unfortunately, Yu Ding didn't believe it at all, and just politely replied, "So that's it."
Mingyu smiled and didn't explain.
In fact, they are really destined to be together!
Originally, he was going to the East China Sea to meet Fuxi after descending Mount Buzhou, but suddenly he sensed that a destined person was approaching him here.
When Mingyu saw the Heart Moon Fox, he thought that this little creature was destined to be with him. After all, he was looking for the Twenty-Eight Constellations tribe and this Heart Moon Fox just happened to run into him.
But when Yu Ding said his name, Mingyu knew that the destined person was him and not the little fox.
Because Mingyu and Yuding are destined to be together, she was able to meet Xinyuehu through this fate.
"Of course, I won't let you work in vain. If you have any needs, just tell me. I will satisfy you as long as I can." Mingyu began to make promises to Yu Ding.
Mingyu knew that if you wanted a horse to run, you had to give it grass to eat.
Seeing that Mingyu didn't seem to be lying, Yu Ding was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head, looked at Mingyu with a firm gaze and said:
"Fellow Daoist, please teach me!"
As he spoke, he took off the long sword on his back.
How can I cure the injustice in my heart? I will draw my sword and ask you now!
After all, Yu Ding was still a little depressed.
Mingyu didn't find Yu Ding's request strange at all. Sword cultivators are always straightforward!
"Fellow Daoist, what do you want to ask about the sword?" Mingyu took out the Yin-Yang Sword and did not use any other magic weapons. This was not contempt but respect between sword practitioners.
"On the path of Tao, nine is the maximum number. I want to ask the sword for nine days."
Mingyu heard this and looked strange: "Nine days? Are you sure?"
Yu Ding nodded firmly, "Could it be that you are in a hurry?"
"That's not the case. Fellow Daoist, please draw your sword." Mingyu shook his head and made a gesture of invitation.
I am a kind-hearted Taoist. When someone sincerely... ahem... asks me for the sword, how can I refuse?
"Stupid dog, hurry up and go!" Xinyue Fox kindly reminded the little black dog to not get so close.
"Awoo..." The little black dog looked at Xinyue Fox, then looked at his owner, and finally looked at Mingyu with some fear and walked away silently.
But the direction it was heading was exactly opposite to that of the Heart Moon Fox.
"Tsk, stupid dog!"
“Ouch~”
“Boom!”
Thunder roared, and a sudden downpour and strong winds arose. The bean-sized raindrops fell faster and faster, and became heavier and heavier...
The yin and yang energies turned into a light curtain, blocking out the thunder and rain. Mingyu looked at the jade tripod very seriously.
"Fellow Daoist, I have been studying sword skills for nine days, and I have made one sword each day. Today's sword is named 'Wind and Rain'. Please appreciate it, fellow Daoist!"
Yu Ding let the heavy rain wet his Taoist robe and drew his sword. Rain fell on the mountains and forests, wind swept across the fields, the rainstorm continued, and the strong wind never stopped.
This sword is very violent!
"It's a bit noisy!" With a clang, the Yin-Yang Sword came out.
The sword light flashed across the sky, the wind stopped and the rain ceased, the sun rose in the sky, and the sound of wind, rain, thunder... all the violent sounds disappeared from between heaven and earth.
There was only the sound of a clear sword, which made people happy, joyful and cheerful...
The little black dog hiding far away was lying on the ground, its sensitive ears moving back and forth; Xinyue Fox saw that the wind, rain and thunder had faded away, and its heart finally calmed down, wagging its tail.
Yu Ding's hands trembled slightly. He took a deep breath, leaned his sword on the ground, closed his eyes and began to relax and gather his energy.
Mingyu was not in a hurry and just waited for him with the Yin-Yang Sword in hand.
The second day.
"Fellow Daoist, the name of today's sword is: Changhong!" Yu Ding suddenly opened his eyes, and the long sword turned into a long rainbow that flowed into the void and hit the sun in the sky directly, unstoppable!
"cut!"
The sword is heavy, the sword is as fast as light, the sword edge is sharp, the Yin-Yang sword turns, carrying the momentum of complete destruction. You are strong, but I am stronger than you. You are tough, but I am tougher than you!
"Bang!" The long rainbow shattered and Yu Ding retreated three steps.
Mingyu saw that Yu Ding's hands were shaking and he could barely hold the hilt of the sword. She blinked and continued to wait for him.
On the third day, dusk fell.
On the fourth day, the sword was like night.
The fifth day, bright as a star.
On the sixth day, the moon was bright in the sky.
On the seventh day, heaven and earth were beautiful.
On the eighth day, all ten directions were extinguished.
Yu Ding practiced swordplay for eight days in a row and drew his sword eight times. Each sword was different, but each one was better than the last.
Mingyu also swung the sword eight times, each time with yin and yang, but each swing was different.
Yu Ding struck the wind and rain with his sword, and he made the wind and rain stop;
Yu Ding's sword hit the rainbow, and he caused the rainbow to shatter;
Yu Ding struck the dusk with one sword, and he made the dusk disappear.
…
The sword has a fixed shape, but no fixed style. With the same sword, neither of them sticks to the original fixed style, but jumps out of the cage, attacks and counters, full of changes!
After eight days, Yu Ding, who was asking for the sword, felt happy, and Ming Yu, who was testing the sword for him, was also very happy.
"There is still one more sword. Why don't you ask?" Mingyu said with some lingering feeling when he saw Yu Ding put away the sword.
Yu Ding's hands were shaking like a sieve as he put away the sword. When he heard Mingyu's question, the sword fell to the ground.
"bite!"
Yu Ding bent down expressionlessly and picked up the sword with his other hand.
"No need, I have asked all the questions I need to ask, so I should save some energy to help you, fellow Taoist!"
Mingyu said with some regret: "Well, okay then."
Asking about the sword and testing the sword, isn't this also asking about the Tao and testing the Tao?
Yu Ding asked about the sword for eight days, and he tested the sword for eight days; Yu Ding gained a lot, and he also gained a lot. In just eight days, Mingyu's understanding of the Tao became clearer, and a gray area on the Tao was illuminated. What this meant was self-evident.
After reaching the seventh level of Daluo, his progress in cultivation became very slow. Even when the Empress was breaking through the realms, she had to stop here for a long time.
From the perspective of Taoism, Yu Ding is really his destined person.
"Then fellow Taoist, do you want to take a break? After all, things may not be peaceful going forward." Mingyu suggested.
"Okay!" Yu Ding sat down and began to regulate his breathing without saying a word.
"Oh, by the way, I have a few fruits here. How about you take two? This way you will recover faster."
As he spoke, Mingyu took out several spiritual fruits, namely: Ginseng Fruit, Star Fruit, Hibiscus Fruit and Renshui Peach.
Yu Ding looked at the four spiritual fruits in front of him and his eyelids twitched.
He suspected Mingyu was showing off her wealth, but he couldn't produce any evidence!
Thinking this in his mind, Yu Ding grabbed the ginseng fruit very rudely and stuffed it into his mouth, splashing the juice everywhere.
After eating the ginseng fruit, Yu Ding grabbed the Renshui peaches. While eating, he comforted himself not to have any psychological pressure: "I am robbing the rich to help the poor!"
The one who eats it is the dog owner!
“Woof woof!”
"Stupid dog, don't snatch it from me!"
Two streams of light, one black and one white, moved forward at a very fast speed and came to Mingyu's side, looking at Mingyu with longing faces.
The little black dog was drooling all over the floor, and Xinyuehu tried very hard to swallow his saliva to prevent it from flowing out.
"Eat it with confidence!" Mingyu was not stingy and gave them the star fruit and hibiscus fruit.
He didn't bring many ginseng fruits and peaches, but there were plenty of star fruits and hibiscus fruits in the Heavenly Palace. As a spiritual master in the Heavenly Palace, he still stocked up some.
"Fellow Daoist, your Xiaotian is really good."
When the little black dog came closer, Mingyu used the Sansheng Stone to shine on it. This dog can bring good luck to people, turn disasters into blessings for its owner, and eliminate disasters and evil for its owner.
"Xiaotian?" Yu Ding was puzzled.
Mingyu then realized that the dog actually had no name, but she still answered calmly: "Ah... This is the name I gave it, what do you think, fellow Taoist?"
Name it?
You give someone else's dog a name and ask the owner what he thinks?
Tell me, are you still planning on Xiaotian?
Yu Ding nodded, "I think it's a good idea. From now on, it will be called Xiaotian."
Then he looked at Mingyu calmly, "I feel that my injuries are not healed yet, I wonder if you have any extra spiritual fruits?"
Mingyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, “Yes, yes, yes!”
He then took out a few hibiscus fruits and star fruits from his sleeves.
I'm not afraid of Yu Ding eating it, I'm just afraid that he won't want to eat it.
A man who takes favors from others will be lenient; a man who eats from others will be grateful.
Eat well so you can work!
Yu Ding decisively grabbed the star fruit and hibiscus fruit and chewed them voraciously. The spiritual energy and the Taoist essence were overflowing, and he swallowed them all without any care.
I am sure to eat this rich dog today!
