Su Bian Cultivation World

Not long after seeing off Xie Chuncan, Feng Xue also bid farewell to Luo Jiujiang.

She plans to take Xiaoren to Suzaku Realm. It is said that there is a situation where Tiancaidibao uses Xiaoren together.

Compared to Xie Chuncan who almost ran away and almost didn't even see his back, Feng Xue's farewell was slow to a certain extent.It took her two days just to pack her bags, and that's not counting the extra time she took to shop for items on her list.The night before his departure, Luo Jiujiang counted his fingers and remembered that Feng Xue had said goodbye seven days ago.

No matter how strong the feeling of parting was, it was diluted by Qi Tian, ​​and it was no longer the reluctance to give up when hearing the news for the first time.Looking at Feng Xue's behavior these past few days, Luo Jiujiang finally knew the specific difference between her sister and brother.

On the morning before Feng Xue Xiaoren's departure, Xiaoren knocked open the door of Luo Jiujiang's room.

When Xie Chuncan bid farewell to them before, Xiaoren spent the whole time making the background board in the room, and never said a word.Feng Xueyuan thought that Xiaoren had longed for Xie Chuncan to leave, but she actually asked them why Xie Chuncan hadn't come back for so long when they had dinner together the day before yesterday.

Both Luo Jiujiang and Feng Xue were a little surprised, but Xiao Ren was really confused.After all, Xie Chuncan would come to the door every three to five days when he was in the dead, and he would say a few more words when fighting her.It has been six days now, why haven't we seen Xie Chuncan?

Listening to her intermittent expression, Feng Xue and Luo Jiujiang suddenly realized that she hadn't been indifferent to Xie Chuncan's farewell these days, but she still didn't know what "separation" is.

Feng Xue explained the meaning of "farewell" to her, she frowned half-understanding, but in the end she couldn't distinguish the meaning of "farewell" from "death".

But in the next few meetings, she often cast her eyes on Luo Jiujiang thoughtfully, wondering what thoughts had passed in her mind for the word "farewell".

Hearing Xiaoren's voice outside the door, Luo Jiujiang opened the door in a cloak, and Xiaoren threw down a sentence of "stretch your hand". Seeing that Luo Jiujiang did so blankly, she shook open a storage bag over the opponent's palm.Immediately, countless white crystals rushed straight down. If Luo Jiujiang hadn't hid quickly, he would have been buried firmly by the powder like a hill.

Those tiny white crystals eventually overflowed the threshold, forming a small hill at the door of the room, blocking Luo Jiujiang in the room forcibly.Luo Jiujiang's eyes hurt from the powder, and he finally understood what Xiaoren was planning these days.

She brought a lot of salt to Luo Jiujiang.

Feng Xue heard the movement next door and hurried over, and was also stunned by the scene at a glance.Luo Jiujiang swallowed his saliva, feeling that his image in Xiao Ren's heart might have become a weird salt lover.

I should have corrected her the second time she offered to take salt for herself.

Before Luo Jiujiang could ask, Xiaoren said seriously: "I'll give you all the salt, don't die."

Since she still can't distinguish the difference between "death" and "leave" well, Luo Jiujiang is a little uncertain whether she should read it as "I'll give you all the salt, don't leave."

But he also has no doubts, if Feng Xue asked Xiaoren to give him two spirit stones when they first met, then Xiaoren would do everything possible to build a hill of the same size with the spirit stones, even if Feng Xue was the first It was a dead man's head that Xiaoren brought to him, so now... tsk.

Because Xiaoba is such a silly child.

"I won't die, I won't die, how can I die." Luo Jiujiang smiled and found a spare storage bag to put all the salt in, "You gave me the salt, it's enough for me to eat until I die."

Feng Xue understood the matter from the side, stepped forward and stroked Xiaoren's back, looking like she wanted to say something to Luo Jiujiang.However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she realized what this meant, and then she held Xiaoren's shoulders with both hands, and said overjoyedly: "You know how to buy things?"

That's right, so much salt can't come from the sky. Xiaoren was able to buy a salt pile like a hill without Feng Xue's knowledge, which means that she will at least go out to buy things alone now!

Xiao Ren nodded hesitantly, and Feng Xue jumped up.

Luo Jiujiang immediately blew a catchy whistle, and Feng Xue rushed downstairs to ask for wine.After clinking glasses, she took Luo Jiujiang's hand, and they danced cheerfully around the bewildered Xiaoren. At this moment, Feng Xue finally understood the words "Congratulations, Ms. X finally has a cat" in her previous life, And the person with the banner "Congratulations to Mr. X for finally winning the SSR" feels as if he has won the first prize.

If it wasn't for the conditions, she really wanted to make a huge ribbon and hold it up with a hot air balloon: Congratulations to Miss Feng Ren for the first time to go shopping by herself, she is awesome, she bought as much salt as Xiaoshan!

So the last farewell was made joyous and joyful by them, and they were just as happy as the New Year with the decorations and drums.

Seeing Xiaoren's confused look when he finally boarded the carriage, Luo Jiujiang secretly apologized in his heart—it seems that for a long time, Xiaoren's perception of "farewell" will be seriously out of tune with the public.

…………

After seeing off Xie Chuncan and Feng Xue Xiaoren one after another, Luo Jiujiang himself finally embarked on the journey to the Azure Dragon Realm.When he left, there were two storage bags hanging from his waist, one contained the spirit stone elixir, and the other contained the salt that Xiao Ren gave him.

Although this gift is a bit funny, it is Xiao Ren's sincerity.

In addition, there is another thing in the storage bag - the knife that Luo Jiujiang used in the past.

When cutting through the boundary membrane, the entire knife was shattered into sharp pieces less than an inch long, or scattered in the dead place and turned into dust together with this world, or fell out of the boundary membrane and fell into the vast space.Only a little bit bounced back and pierced into Luo Jiujiang's flesh, penetrating three points into the flesh.

Later, Luo Jiujiang picked out these blades and put them away carefully together with the handles left in his hands.This knife has been with him for more than ten years, which is longer than the time he spent with Qianling.Even if it is broken now, he is unwilling to throw it away easily, and still carries it with him until he can find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to build a knife mound for it.

Just like the name of this knife, it is not domineering, but simple and warm. It has been with Luo Jiujiang through his youthful years when he was not famous.

Many years later, someone asked about Luo Jiujiang's first knife. At that time, the knife god raised his hand and could cut the wind to make a knife, pointing at thunder as a blade, but his memory still kept its black color exactly: "My first knife A knife called the old man."

--------

Before June was approaching and the lotus flowers were in full bloom, Luo Jiujiang finally arrived at the Azure Dragon Realm.

He was lucky, and the location he was teleported to was not remote. All monks whose cultivation level was above the Foundation Establishment did not need to detour, and could reach Qinglong Academy as soon as possible by passing through an outer forest directly.

Originally, when Luo Jiujiang first arrived here, he was supposed to pass the letter home, but unfortunately, after three short-distance teleportations, his spirit stones were running out, and he could no longer pay for the long-distance post-transmission fee.Fortunately, there is no shortage of teleportation points in Qinglong Academy, and on the way to the academy, monsters and strange plants in the forest can be hunted and turned into spirit stones.

Luo Jiujiang could clearly feel the prosperity of Qinglong Realm as soon as he landed.The city where he first settled was called Qinghe, and its scale was not too large in this world, but it was so lively that Luo Jiujiang had never seen in his life.

When he just came out of the teleportation point, he was taken aback for a moment, not because of any rare scenery, but he had never seen so many people before.

I don't know if there will be a grand meeting today, but at this moment, the noise and commotion are intertwined into a giant net, covering Luo Jiujiang silently.Luo Jiujiang looked curiously at the crowds in front of him. From time to time, some peddlers who had just entered Qi refining came to ask him to look at their goods; two monks not far away were arguing in the street, and there was a lot of space around them. One said As he spoke, anger came up, and a three-foot-high flame burst out on his forehead...

Qidao is a peaceful and simple place, and the dead place is even worse, like a rotten tree root with moldy mushrooms, but the small worlds he passed through in the past two days are more lively, and the scenes are kept within Luo Jiujiang's imagination Inside, it can be regarded as an extension of the Seven Islands at best.

However, the prosperity of the Qinglong Realm is like a ladle of hot water poured into a frying pan, or a large boat of saltpeter thrown into the center of the lake. It is vigorous and undisguised, and behind the bustle is a full of confidence.

And Luo Jiujiang is like a child who can only dip in the syrup in the pot, but suddenly sees the colorful candy rain from the sky. And dumped by the huge handwriting.

No wonder Master said before that I was watching the sky from a well, Luo Jiujiang thought in a daze: So the three thousand worlds are so big and so good.

There were girls passing by Luo Jiujiang arm in arm, one of them was so fascinated by his handsome appearance, he was squeezed by the girl beside him, leaned over and bit his ear, and the two girls laughed and shoved each other Laughing and walking away.

There was also a guy holding a basket and yelling and handing snacks to the monks on the street: "The first incense is open! The first incense is open! The small shop is a time-honored brand, and the main store is in Qinglong Academy. All the students in the courtyard love to eat ——Fairy take a piece of fruit to taste, no money required—Thang Long Glutinous Rice Cake, Pan-fried Taro Dumplings, Cold-cut Emerald Rolls, Honey-Marinated Kumquat——Come and get a piece, too.”

The clerk came towards him, and enthusiastically stuffed a small warm oiled paper bag into Luo Jiujiang's hand.

Luo Jiujiang took it subconsciously, and the clerk bypassed him to meet the new guest officer: "The first fragrance has a happy opening! The first fragrance has a happy opening..."

The new world rushed towards us like this, Luo Jiujiang looked at the bustling long street in front of him, and his heart suddenly moved.

He seems to have touched something, neither with his eyes nor with his body, his perception is spreading on the street, surging towards the direction where people gather, and a certain artistic conception is rising with his breathing fall.

It wasn't the first time he was exposed to a similar artistic conception, but it was the first time he kept this indescribable feeling for such a long time.When he realized the chaotic snowfield, his heart was full of determination to throw everything at one's fingertips, and when he realized the cracking sky, his heart was filled with the arrogance of failure or benevolence.These mysterious feelings lingered in his fingers for a while, and then slipped away, leaving Luo Jiujiang with the feeling of "what did he hold".

Now, a similar feeling is back, only this time the mood is happier and more peaceful.

If there is a knowledgeable person here, I'm afraid he will shake Luo Jiujiang's shoulder and shout, so that he can understand how precious this kind of epiphany is. However, Luo Jiujiang's face is leisurely, as if he is not in a hurry.He obediently followed the direction of the crowd, and walked towards the lively place that was unusually clear in his perception.

The hustle and bustle of the downtown, the whispers of girls, the yelling of men, the quarrels of monks... Thousands of words came into Luo Jiujiang's ears at once, and then came out of his other ear without any hindrance. The voice walked around his heart again, but none of the words could stir up the slightest wave in his heart.

Luo Jiujiang still walked forward unhurriedly, even with a slight smile on his face.

Soon he approached the pair of monks who were arguing and spitting sparks, the crowd smoothly separated here, and forked into two paths, like a school of fish deftly circumventing the reef, only Luo Jiujiang still walked straight as if he couldn't see forward.

At the same time, the two monks impatiently pulled out their swords, seeing that the blades were about to collide, while the young man in black was going to pass between the swords at the same moment, and the people watching were all There was an uproar—

When Luo Jiujiang walked straight between the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword that had fallen rapidly, there were as many gasps of air-conditioning as many people held their breath.

And at the next moment, everyone couldn't help making a fuss!

I saw Luo Jiujiang supporting the swordsman's wrist with one hand, pressing the swordsman's shoulder with the other, turning his body halfway, and freely slipping through the cold iron less than two feet away. Not forgetting to use force in his hands, he manipulated the movements of the two men, knocking the swords together with a clang.

The weapon knocked out two sparks, and no one was injured among the three present.

"It's a tie between the two brothers." Luo Jiujiang let go of his hand, without even turning his head, he just waved behind him, "There are many people on this street, don't affect anyone."

The two of them were suddenly stopped by him, and the momentum like fire and thunder inevitably weakened. They both put away their swords and stared at his back in a daze, while Luo Jiujiang's pace did not change a bit, still following the crowd Go in the forward direction.

The source of excitement in perception is gradually approaching, and the surrounding discussions are more and more centered on the same theme.

"Once a year……"

"Fortunate to meet such a grand event..."

"It is the city lord who wants to select talents..."

"It can be said that it is a meritocracy, regardless of seeking talents..."

"Really anyone can go up and try?"

"Brother is an outsider, you know the city's grand ceremonies have always been like this..."

Luo Jiujiang turned a deaf ear to those laughter, exclamations, and comforting praises. He walked down the stage and looked up at the high platform.I saw 36 tall wooden poles set up on the stage. The heights of the wooden poles were different and well arranged. On the head of each pole was a small crystal ball the size of a girl's little finger. Beside them, there is a flying snake with wings on its back, coiled and waiting.

Flying snakes have always been famous for being as fast as the wind and as agile as water, and the 36 flying snakes on the high platform all have three rings around their tails. Obviously, all of them have entered the mature stage. Each of them can breathe thunder and fire, and can also release paralyzing poisonous fog.

The previous young man who jumped onto the stage only touched the fifth pillar before he was shot down by the flying snake with all his strength, and fell on the stage with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.

There was a sound of sighing in the crowd, mixed with some "You must know that every time you pass a pillar, you have to deal with one more flying snake.", "It is not allowed to injure or kill the flying snake, the requirements for body skills It's too high.", "It's really too difficult to be a human being".

I don't know how many people have been "beheaded by snakes" like this young man before. Perhaps the repeated failures made the onlookers feel disheartened, and there was no one who jumped on the stage to meet the challenge for a while.

The drummer seemed to be used to this kind of silence, so he immediately swung the drumstick and hammered it heavily. After three beeps, someone loudly re-announced the reward: "The green lotus is in full bloom, and the green lotus will bloom with talents! The green lotus meeting Young talents are widely invited, and those who can pick 36 beads and stand up before they arrive will be rewarded with a top-grade spiritual artifact! Those who pick 35 beads will be awarded a piece of Qingning Baoyu! Those who pick 34 beads will be awarded three cups of Bibo wine! , to reward a jar of moon spring water..."

A brave man will come out under the heavy reward, just when everyone in the audience is eager to try, a brisk laughter rang out: "It must be a young man? Let's make a discount and give a young man like me a 'talent'" chance."

Accompanied by the sound, a black figure rose from the ground, and he leaped onto the high platform, and went straight to the first pearl without even needing to touch the ground on the platform.The flying snake spewed a mouthful of flames at him aggressively. He ducked his head and kept the long scabbard around his waist. body went.

It wasn't until this boy came to the stage that everyone in the audience really saw what it means to wear flowers and butterflies.It is said that the flying snake is as fast as the wind, but it seems not worth mentioning in front of him.The movement of the boy in black is not frighteningly erratic, even if he has nowhere to settle in mid-air, his posture still has an indescribable calmness.

In the past, everyone only saw flying snakes moving nimbly, giving the challenger a crucial blow in the back from time to time, but now there are only flying snakes chasing the boy.Even at an extremely critical juncture, this young man didn't do much to dodge, at most he spun around in a full circle, and he turned better than others.

When he picked a bead No.20, the boy in black returned the knife and sheath to his waist, and grabbed a flying snake by the tail with his empty hands. Immediately there was a flood of voices!

The first twenty flying snakes were piled on top of each other. They were originally thrown left and right by this mysterious challenger, and now they are in this person's hands. The chaotic flying snakes seemed to be caught in some kind of mechanism, each circled into a ball, and was buckled into a grasshopper on a knot!

This scene is almost like a conjuring, magically incomprehensible.The boy whistled happily, and pulled the tail in his hand into the first "rope buckle", turning the rope into a loop, which happened to be the "Lovesick Concentric Knot" that girls often like to tie.He twirled the distinctive "snake ring" around his index finger, then threw it out like a loop, snapping the No.20 two flying snakes straight.

……

What follows is not so much a challenge as it is a wonderful manual work.This young man's hands and mind are so dexterous that it's unbelievable that fetching beads isn't even the highlight of the challenge.When the No.30 six pearls rolled into the boy's cuffs, the 36 flying snakes had turned into a neat and graceful dragon and phoenix knot.

This young man is naturally Luo Jiujiang, apart from him, there is probably no one in the city who has the experience and criminal record of tying sea snake bows.

In fact, the body of the snake is slippery, if these flying snakes are just ordinary snakes, no matter how strangely entangled they are with each other, they will be able to untie slowly by themselves.It's a pity that each of them has wings. Luo Jiujiang had planned the landing point before designing, and the wings got stuck between the rope buckles. Now someone has to help dismantle them.

"Ashamed and ashamed." Luo Jiujiang jumped off the tallest pillar, his eyes were bright, and he handed the unique flower knot in his hand to the monk who presided over the scene: "I just felt so good, I was fascinated."

The monk who took over the snake knot was almost dumbfounded just now. After hearing Luo Jiujiang's words, he only thought that he was making excuses. He thought that young people are energetic and easy to show off. It is not surprising that they have this ability to show off.

He didn't know that Luo Jiujiang was telling the truth, he really felt so good just now that he was almost floating.

When that kind of artistic conception came to him, Luo Jiujiang not only had extremely keen perception, but also had an unprecedentedly clear mind. As for the spiritual power flowing in every meridian, it was even more powerful and fitting, and his control over every move reached the extreme. There is an inexplicable connection between them.

If it weren't for this kind of judgment that is so accurate that it is almost abnormal, the situation where Luo Jiujiang pulled out a lovesickness concentric knot with one hand just now would have been basically impossible to take shape-he had to hold the flying snake and tie the knots one by one by himself.

All in all, Luo Jiujiang's dreamlike epiphany lasted for a whole moment, which of course brought him more than just a snake knot.In fact, if his actions just now were not too shocking, those monks who were close to the establishment of the foundation in the audience would have instinctively discovered——

In a playful pearl-picking challenge just now, Luo Jiujiang advanced two steps in a row, and his cultivation level reached the perfection of the third level of foundation building!

When he died, he was only one step away from the second floor of the foundation building. I don't know if he had been emotionally tense and depressed, so he couldn't be promoted to the second floor.However, just now when he saw the prosperity of the long street, he was full of joy, and he even wished to eat three more bowls of rice.

As for one promotion to two floors, it was really an unexpected joy of this epiphany.

The monk who presided over the scene took the flying snake off, and brought a high-grade spiritual weapon to the stage.He walked up to Luo Jiujiang and said loudly: "Since the Qinglian Conference was held, this is probably the fastest and the youngest winner. This young man who won 36 beads in a row is a swordsman, just what we prepared The spiritual weapon is also a treasured knife—"

"Sorry." The boy in black raised a hand and interrupted the monk briskly, "Can I change the reward?"

"Ah, uh..." The monk glanced back at the canopy on the spectator's seat not far away, and quickly asserted: "Of course, do you want to change to a sword or..."

"No, none of it is necessary." Luo Jiujiang smiled calmly, "I just want the No.3 three cups of Bibo wine—it's nice to be able to change weapons when the wedding is coming, but it's still more enjoyable to drink a cup. "

The monk looked at Luo Jiujiang silently for a while, probably never seen such a willful leader of the conference who would make trouble.But as the winning challenger, Luo Jiujiang's conditions were quickly met. It was almost just a matter of eye contact, and someone brought three glasses of rippling wine on a tray and replaced the coveted one. top-grade spirit weapon.

"Thank you." Luo Jiujiang said briefly.

Luo Jiujiang is not pretending to be a gesture, and what he said is not at all false.

Those with keen observation skills might think that the happy event he spoke of was advanced cultivation, but they didn't know that this was not the only thing Luo Jiujiang wanted to be happy about.

Counting it, this is the third time he has come into contact with "Artistic Conception". With his talent, the first time he was ignorant of life and death, he was able to seize the opportunity the second time, and took advantage of that meaning to hold out a dazzle of white light on the tip of the knife. This time, that is, now, not only did he keep this comprehension for more than a moment, but he also clearly understood what he was comprehending.

It's not just a bustling market, nor is it just a lively scene that has never been seen before.

What made him realize suddenly was the peace in the world that he saw again after experiencing the deceit and insidiousness of death.

Besides--

I'm kind of in touch with my current knives.Luo Jiujiang thought: the first time the chaotic snow was for himself, the second time the split dome was for friends, and the epiphany this time is for all living beings.

All perceptions come from people, and everything suddenly comes from people.

The way of the sword he is walking is humane.

Luo Jiujiang picked up the wine glass, spilled half of the first glass on the ground amidst the shock of everyone, then drank it all by himself, then drank half of the second glass first, and then poured it on the ground again.

The outstanding people in Qinglong Realm, even the wine produced by such a small town is first-class and good. Melted just right.

"The first cup of Jiangshan respects me, and the second cup I respect Jiangshan." Luo Jiujiang turned around and pushed the tray emptyly, "The third cup is reserved for the host to drink - it's a pity that the wine is so rare!" He raised his head With a long laugh, he exhaled half a mouthful of blue alcohol, and flew over the heads of the crowd, leaving only the monks on the stage who had not had time to speak to stay, jumping, leaving all the sound in the back of their heads, and went straight away.

On the stand not far away, below the canopy, someone asked in a low voice: "City Master, do you really want to recruit such a talent?"

"Did you see his knife?" The city lord watched Luo Jiujiang's back with an unpredictable expression.

"That one? Two spirit stones are the most."

"That's right. At his age, with such a cultivation level, the weapons he uses are so unworthy of him. He refuses to accept the spiritual weapon, preferring to drink... This is a crazy student among young people, and another crazy student A genius. Our temple is small, so we can’t keep it.”
