Cultivation starts with time management

"Searching blindly like this is not looking for a needle in a haystack?" Ling Yunpo pondered slightly, then smiled, "Senior Sister, do you know how to find an island as quickly as possible in this sea?"

"What method?" An Zhisu asked blankly.

"Of course it is with the help of flying birds." Ling Yunpo said calmly with the wisdom pearl in his hands, with confidence in his chest and bright eyes, "Flying birds need to find islands to stop and rest from time to time, otherwise they will fall into the sea when they are exhausted, so most seabirds only It will move between islands and will not fly randomly."

"As long as we can follow the migratory direction of the birds, we can find the nearby islands as quickly as possible, which is always more efficient than a blanket search."

"So that's how it is." An Zhisu suddenly realized, and praised him sincerely, "Junior brother, you are so smart! I never thought of this."

"Also." Ling Yunpo continued to add, clapping his palms and laughing, "Since this island was hardly heard of before, then even if it appeared, it must have appeared in an inaccessible place."

"The farther south the South China Sea is, the farther it is from China, and the less people explore it. Therefore, we can go all the way south from here and follow the seabirds to find the nearby islands and check them one by one."

"Junior brother is very careful." An Zhisu nodded, gave up thinking and said, "Then I will listen to you."

The two headed south with their swords, spreading their spiritual consciousness and sweeping across the distance along the way, looking for any traces of seabirds.

I searched for six or seven islands in a row, all of which were uninhabited islands in the original ecology that humans have never set foot in. An Zhisu was quite calm, but Ling Yunpo was a little restless, so he asked the Kunlun mirror in his mind:

"Miss Shi can figure out the position of the Donghua faction, Ah Jing, you can't figure it out, right? No way, no way?"

"Nonsense." Kunlun Mirror lazily said, "I'm just a mirror, how can I master arithmetic? If I know everything, do I still need you to mend the sky for me?"

"Wow, Ah Jing, you are such a waste!" Ling Yunpo said dissatisfied, "You can't help me with such a trivial matter, what use do I need you?"

Kunlun Jing suppressed his anger, and asked Qingping about the sword:

"Do you know the island where the ancient sword fairy lived?"

"If it's a sword fairy who lives in seclusion in the South China Sea, I know one." Qingping Jian said with a smile, "As for the one your master met back then, I don't know."

Chapter 67 I don't like you

The two of them flew with their swords on the vast sea, searching for seabirds everywhere.

Ling Yunpo casually explored the distance with his spiritual sense, but secretly paid attention to the movement of the ocean current.

According to what Qingpingjian said, the body of the island is actually an eternal iceberg, covered with dust brought by the sea breeze, and thick soil has been formed year after year. It looks no doubt like an ordinary island from the outside. , but its bottom is not connected to the seabed, just like rootless duckweed.

As we all know, monks often encounter inner demons during their long journey.

Kunlun's solution is: from the entry-level Kunlun Tianzhu climbing test, those who are not strong in Taoism and unstable in mind will be screened out.

Shushan's solution is: after the monks form the alchemy, they go to the cave of asking the heart to ask the heart, and form their own obsession with Taoism, so as to avoid flaws in the heart of the Tao as much as possible.

Penglai's solution is: let it go, so many sects in the world don't care about this, so why should I care so much?

In fact, the vast majority of sects do not have the ability to manage them, and can only be forced to coexist with the demons.

But for those monks who unfortunately went into madness and survived by luck, they can't be blind like Zongmen - if they are killed, they will die, who dares to show them?

The iceberg island that Qingpingjian mentioned is a very rare and peculiar place that can resist the erosion of inner demons.

It is said that as long as one goes deep into the island, reaches the ice layer, digs a hole in it, and then drills in, the body can be temporarily frozen, and the consciousness can also be retarded... Of course, the sky demon will also be retarded in the same way.

Due to the confrontation at the level of consciousness, the combat power of the demons is far greater than that of humans, so this is tantamount to pulling both sides to the same inferior starting line, so that they can barely fight back and forth.

Although this still can't completely solve the demons, it just "prolongs the time of death" in disguise, but the monks who are on the verge of extinction often have no choice.

As for why few people know about this island today, that is another question.

"Master recorded in the scriptures that he was chased and killed by a high-level enemy at that time, so he had to lead him to the vast South China Sea, waiting for an opportunity to fight back." An Zhisu explained.

"Oh oh oh." Ling Yunpo nodded to express his understanding, that is to say, the master couldn't beat the opponent at all, so he could only run for his life in a hurry.

"In the end, I came across that island. On the island, I met a senior immortal and a great swordsman." An Zhisu continued to recall, "The immortal set a little test for him, and he passed it easily, and he got received the hospitality of the immortal; but the enemy did not pass, and was killed by the immortal backhand."

"So that's how it is." Ling Yun thought in his heart that since he "passed easily", it must be a very difficult test.

Otherwise, with Su Jian's temperament, if it was really an easy test, he wouldn't have mentioned it in his pen at all.

"Finally, Master received some guidance from the immortal, and felt that his swordsmanship cultivation had made a huge breakthrough in an instant, and the original bottleneck was suddenly cleared up, so he entered the Jindan Realm to seek roots." An Zhisu finally concluded.

"Really?" Ling Yunpo asked in surprise.

He couldn't be more clear about Su Jian's character, and it is clearly reflected in the records of the Seven Kills swordsmanship:

Why does the Seven Kills swordsmanship use offense instead of defense, and put speed first?Because Su Jian clearly stated that as long as you kill the enemy first, you don't need to defend and dodge... Such an arrogant and stinky character can actually admit that it is a "great breakthrough", what exactly did the opposite fairy stuff for him thing?Is the supreme golden core membership upgrade card?

"Anyway, it would be great if we could find that island." An Zhisu was still fantasizing, and said longingly, "If we tell that fairy that we are the disciples of Su Jian whom he received back then, will we be able to do it too?" Get advice?"

"Hehehe." Ling Yunpo could only laugh dryly.

Senior Sister An, don't just stare at Master's treatment back then. His enemy was killed by the Immortal because he failed the test!

Thinking about it carefully, this immortal and Su Jian's enemies don't have any enmity at all, right?It shows that this immortal is the kind of guy who acts recklessly and kills people casually!

Thinking of this, Ling Yunpo retreated a little.

According to Qingpingjian, since there is an iceberg underneath the island, it means that it will only drift with the current and move around with the flow of sea water.

In other words, just follow the direction of the current to find it.

But considering that the immortal is not a good person to be with, maybe I should do it the other way around and let the senior sister not find the island on purpose. How to escape?

"Hey, Junior Brother." An Zhisu said suddenly, "Look at another island in front of you."

Ling Yunpo casually swept away his consciousness, and found that it was not connected to the seabed. He was startled, and said calmly:

"This island is so barren and small, how could there be a swordsman who lives in seclusion here? Sister, you should stop thinking about it, you can skip this kind of small island, let's go find those bigger islands."

As soon as the words fell, Ling Yunpo was about to turn around and leave when he heard a cold snort:

"Little baby, you don't have much knowledge, and your tone is not small. You don't even know what island this is, so you just rashly talk nonsense. What's the reason?"

Immediately afterwards, the two of them stepped off the flying sword and landed staggeringly as if uncontrollably, bringing Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu to the center of a certain valley on the island.

I saw a black-robed Taoist sitting cross-legged on the ground in the middle of the valley, surrounded by various flying swords, and cracks caused by broken stones and sword energy everywhere.

The Taoist looked very old, his face was full of wrinkles, his mouth didn't move, but a voice came into their ears, and his tone was surprised:

"Hey? Two little dolls, one is born with sword bones and the other is born with sword heart? Come, come, let the old man take a look when you get closer."

An Zhisu took half a step forward, saluted and said:

"Shushan An Zhisu, I pay my respects to the immortal. I don't know what the name of the senior is..."

"Just call me 'Lonely Old Man'." The Taoist in black said indifferently.

lonely?What a miserable name, Ling Yunpo thought to himself.

In the eyes of people in this world, widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness, and disabilities are collectively called the five disadvantages, that is, no wife, no husband, bereaved father, no children, and disability, which are five relatively unfortunate lives.On top of it is "jue", that is, Jue Ming, which refers to sudden death, which is the most unfortunate.

Since this fairy rank old man calls himself "Gu Jue", it means that his sect has been destroyed, all the elders are dead, and he can't leave this island. It can almost be said that he is doomed to die here...

"The elders are in front of you, how dare you still think wildly!" The voice in the ear suddenly became sharp, "A baby born with sword bones, why don't you come to salute the old Taoist?"

"Sorry." Ling Yunpo hastily stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your junior sees the sword energy around you, and the immortal sits alone in it. I think it must be a great swordsman. I feel admiration for a while, but I can't help myself. I'm rude."

"Lots of nonsense!" The old Taoist said impatiently, "Which idiot in Shushan taught you? You are full of flattering nonsense! If it weren't for the sake of your natural sword bones, the old Taoist would have killed you with a sword! "

Ling Yunpo's face twitched, thinking that this immortal is really a moody person, and he hates stereotypes the most, but he is someone I am not good at dealing with.

Chapter 68 Inheriting the Dharma from Master and Ancestor

As a senior spy, who does Ling Yunpo hate to deal with the most?

Naturally, he is the kind of person who is unreasonable, but has a keen intuition.

Being unreasonable means that it is difficult to deceive by normal means; having a keen intuition means that the opponent will catch a flaw if you are not careful.

Therefore, if Ling Yunpo had a choice, he would definitely shy away from such people...but now he has no choice.

I saw that the immortal on the opposite side was wearing a Taoist robe. The clothes were not big, but they were loose and loose, which meant that the immortal's physical body was extremely weak and weak.

This is a typical feature of being plundered by the demon: once an ordinary person is tricked, all essence, energy, and blood are immediately taken away, leaving only an empty skin.

But this person must have used some means to barely resist the erosion of the demon at the last moment, so he turned into this half-dead appearance.

He didn't move his lips to speak, but used some kind of sound transmission secret technique, which meant that his lips could no longer speak, and he had to maintain the struggle against the demon all the time.

A monk in this state, to put it bluntly, is trying his best to survive, and if he is not careful, he will die. How can he have the intention to entertain and guide foreign monks?

Unless it's... oh, I guessed it, it's obsession.

Since this immortal called himself "Gujue", it means that there are no elders and relatives anymore.

As I guessed before, maybe even the school of origin no longer exists, so his biggest obsession should be to pass on the school's morality.

After all, as long as he dies here, all the unique knowledge of his sect will be completely lost. No matter how brilliant it was before, it will return to dust in the future, and no one will know. For him, it was even more uncomfortable than killing him.

Based on this analysis, the treatment Su Jian received here back then, as well as the immortal's joy after seeing me and my senior sister, can all be explained.

Seeing Ling Yunpo pondering, the immortal said angrily:

"Heh, it is said that the natural sword bones are upright and unyielding, and the natural sword hearts are smart and clear. How come you are the other way around? The female doll born with the sword heart has a straight gut, but the male doll born with the sword bone has twists and turns... ...Bastard, you are secretly slandering my old man, right!!!"

In the last sentence, he suddenly raised the volume, and since it was originally sound transmission, the effect was almost the same as talking in the ear, this sudden roar almost didn't deafen the ears of the two of them.

An Zhisu quickly explained:

"Immortal, listen to me, that's not the case! My junior brother has always acted carefully, but it's not because he has bad intentions, but because he has to do it!"

In her opinion, since this immortal has entertained and taught Su Jian graciously, he is equivalent to half of the master's mentor, and rounded up, he is also the ancestor of himself and his younger brother.

Since he is our master, he must protect his shortcomings!

So she told the relationship between herself, her junior brother and Su Jian, why Su Jian was forced to go into seclusion, how Qingluofeng fell in Shushan... everything.

"Because of this, my junior brother has to think hard day and night, thinking hard and making long-term plans for the future of Qingluo Peak, all because I am useless as a senior sister..."

Speaking of the latter, An Zhisu was also a little sad and unspeakable, so he could only lower his head and wipe away his tears.

After listening for a long time, the immortal was already furious, and shouted:

"What a Shushan! How dare you bully our Jianmen disciples like this. If I can still move, I will definitely kill you!"

"Disciple! Don't cry! Wait for the old Taoist to give you sword intent empowerment, and after your cultivation level has greatly improved, go back and kill the group of insects in Shushan for me!!!"

"Disciple?" An Zhisu asked lately.

"Haha, Su Jian is my disciple, aren't you my disciples?" The old man said triumphantly, obviously admiring Su Jian's talent in swordsmanship.

"Dare to ask the immortal." Seeing that he was in a good mood, Ling Yunpo took the opportunity to ask tentatively, "Our master Su Jian worshiped the immortal Changmei in Mount Shu, but somehow he became your apprentice?"

"Hmph." Seeing Ling Yunpo speak, the old man's voice became cold again, obviously he favored An Zhisu and disliked him, "Of course I know about this, but in the past your master Su Jian was hunted down by someone, the old man I So he rescued him. In order to repay the kindness of saving his life, he worshiped under the old Taoist me, willing to take over my mantle, and treat me as half a master, just on par with the long-browed immortal."

"I see." Ling Yunpo understood immediately.

It must be that after Su Jian was rescued by the old Taoist, the old Taoist said, "If you don't worship me as a teacher, I will throw you out", and then the cheap master Su Jian had to kowtow to the old Taoist in order to survive.

Tsk tsk tsk, Su Jian, oh Su Jian, I didn't expect that you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, pretend to be full of arrogance on weekdays, and you are not willing to be shameless at critical moments?

"Let the old Taoist test you two." Speaking of the orthodox mantle, the black-robed old Taoist immediately got excited and spoke much faster, "What kind of swordsmanship did Su Jian teach you?"

"Return to Master's words." An Zhisu changed his words very quickly, "Master taught us the seven-kill swordsmanship."

"Hahahaha!" The old Taoist laughed wildly immediately, "Isn't this Seven Kills swordsmanship the orthodoxy of our Jianmen! And you said that Su Jian is not my apprentice? Disciple and grandson with mixed thoughts over there, what else do you have to say?"

Wait, didn't the Seven Kills swordsmanship be created by Su Jian himself?Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu were stunned at the same time.

Then I realized: If it was taught by this old Taoist, I really can't say it after returning to Shushan, otherwise the immortal Changmei will definitely go crazy when he knows that his apprentice has taken over the Taoism of another family.

But if it was Su Jian's own swordsmanship, and Su Jian learned from Immortal Changmei, then the Seven Kills swordsmanship was an inseparable part of Immortal Changmei's lineage, and the situation was completely reversed.

"Since you have learned the Seven Killing Sword, the old Taoist will use the Seven Killing Sword to test you." As soon as the old Taoist finished speaking, he saw a flying sword burst out of the surrounding swords on the ground, floating in the air Swaying, the blade trembled slightly, and the tip of the sword showed its sharpness.

"How about it, which one of you will come first?" The old man asked enthusiastically, "If the old man is satisfied, he will naturally give you good things."

Ling Yun broke his heart and said that the senior sister was born with a sword heart, and she followed the technical flow. At least she had to understand the enemy's sword moves in order to better formulate tactics and give full play to her advantages.

My side is born with a sword bone, and the flying sword is rougher and thicker, with infinite strength, why don't you let me explore the way, and the senior sister is better off to read more information.

"I'll go first." He took half a step forward and said loudly.

"Back off!" The old Taoist yelled angrily, "As a junior, you don't know the order of the elders and younger? What are you going to do to fight with your senior sister! After your senior sister has finished the competition, it will be your turn!"

Oh shit!Ling Yunpo was also furious, didn't you ask "who will come first"?

Co-authoring this half-dead old man is because I don’t like seeing me. Everything I do is wrong, right? !
