In Zhao Rucheng's mansion covering an area of nearly ten acres, two figures suddenly separated and reunited in the light of the sword.
Clang!!
Zhao Rucheng's hand shook, and the long sword flew away. However, Jiang Wang's long sword had stopped beside his neck, looking at him with a smile but not a smile.
"It's amazing!" Zhao Rucheng was amazed, "What kind of swordsmanship is this?"
There is a slight gap between his and Jiang Wang's swordsmanship, but it's not too big. In the past, he would always win three or five out of ten sword fights, but today, he didn't win even one of the twenty fights in a row!
Jiang Wang smiled and sheathed his sword. This swordsmanship is indeed a mysterious way to enter the Tao through martial arts. There are nine exercises and five killing methods. Now he has only mastered four training methods and one killing method, so his understanding of swordsmanship has been reduced.
It's far better than before.
He thought to himself that his fighting ability was of high quality, and if he encountered the demon who attacked that night again, he would definitely have the strength to fight.
"This swordsmanship was acquired by chance, and it has no name. You, Rucheng, are proficient in both civil and military arts. What do you think it should be called?"
Zhao Rucheng pondered for a while, "This is the emperor in the sword, and he should be named... Purple Qi comes from the east."
"Purple Qi is coming from the east..." Something strange flashed across Jiang Wang's eyes, "What a name!"
At that moment, he seemed to see some majesty in Zhao Rucheng that he had never seen before.
But it was probably an illusion, because Zhao Rucheng picked up the fallen sword the next moment, jumped in front of Jiang Wang, still looking like a fool, and said with a playful smile: "Third brother, teach me!"
"Okay." Jiang Wang smiled brightly.
Both of them are masters of swordsmanship in the world, so they will not understand the preciousness of Ziqi Donglai Sword Technique. It is completely different from those martial arts that are spread in the secular world, but an extraordinary sword code that can be used to enter Taoism.
Those powerful sword cultivators are not inferior to Taoist masters at all.
Such a sword canon was enough to cause a bloody storm in the world. But one of the two people was willing to learn it calmly, and the other taught it casually. It seemed that this sword canon was insignificant.
…
When Jiang Wang returned to the Taoist Temple, it was getting late.
Except when he has schoolwork, Zhao Rucheng usually doesn't stay in the Taoist temple, and he is quite a playboy.
He was pondering the secrets of the Zi Qi Dong Lai Sword Technique in his mind, so that when he walked to the door of the inner courtyard dormitory, he saw Li Jianqiu standing with his sword in his arms.
"What are you thinking about, so fascinated?" Li Jianqiu seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Some swordsmanship issues." Jiang Wang answered calmly and asked, "Why are senior brothers Li here?"
"No wonder Junior Brother Jiang's swordsmanship is amazing." Li Jianqiu complimented casually, and then said: "Master Dong asked you to go to his place after morning class tomorrow. I saw that you were not in the dormitory, so I waited."
"Ah, I have been at Rucheng's house all afternoon." Jiang Wang was a little embarrassed, "How dare you keep Brother Li waiting? Just leave a message for the waiter."
Inner disciples have dedicated personnel to serve them and provide food and clothing so that these Taoist seeds can concentrate on their cultivation.
"Since Master Dong has asked me to inform you, you can't do anything to others. I'm not a noble person, and I'm not as noble as anyone else."
Jiang Wang lowered his head slightly, "My little brother is worried."
He was really worried, because he had to know that Li Jianqiu was two years ahead of him, and was one of the few people who stood out in that class. It was certain that he would go to Qinghe County Courtyard for further studies in the future, and he was one of the few talents in the entire city.
But such a person stood waiting for him in front of the dormitory door without any impatience.
Li Jianqiu patted Jiang Wang on the shoulder, "I think Junior Brother Jiang's future is limitless, so don't be so divided."
After saying that, he turned and left.
…
There was no conversation all night. Just after morning class on the second day, Jiang Wang went to Dong A's residence.
In addition to Li Jianqiu, there are two other people in the small courtyard. One of them is also a senior brother, named Zhang Linchuan. He is from the Zhang family, one of the three major surnames in Maplewood City. He is vaguely one of the strongest among the disciples in the city courtyard and has a good reputation. With.
He is not very handsome in appearance, but he is tall and graceful and has his own grace. His clothes and pendants are all exquisite and appropriate.
At this moment, he was standing in the courtyard, listening to what the people next to him were saying.
The other person left in the courtyard was actually Fang Heling.
Seeing Jiang Wang come in, he deliberately raised his voice, "Brother Zhang Shi! Yesterday, the hunter in my village sent me a pair of good bear paws. Tomorrow I will ask the chef of Wangyue Tower to tidy them up, and then we can taste them together. taste."
Zhang Linchuan smiled and nodded.
Fang Heling turned around and invited: "Senior Brother Li, let's go too!"
Li Jianqiu didn't care about him, just smiled and said, "I'll go when I have time."
Without waiting for Fang Heling to continue flattering, Li Jianqiu took a few steps toward the courtyard gate and asked, "Junior Brother Jiang is here?"
It was actually a special greeting.
Jiang Wang hurried a few steps and greeted, "Sorry, I'm late."
He walked to Li Jianqiu and bowed his hands to Zhang Linchuan: "Hello, Senior Brother Zhang."
Only Fang Heling turned a blind eye.
"It's good for you too." Zhang Linchuan smiled and nodded, seemingly unaware of the undercurrent between Jiang Fang and the two.
But some people must highlight their existence.
"Hmph." Fang Heling snorted very abruptly, and then said angrily: "Master Dong had an order, and even Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Li came here early. I even didn't have time to go to morning classes, so I came as soon as I got up." I don’t know how virtuous and capable some people are, but they dare to let Master Dong and two senior brothers wait for him?"
Jiang Wang still ignored him, and only hugged Li Jianqiu and Zhang Linchuan, "My little brother came here just after morning class. It's definitely not neglecting the teacher's orders. It's just morning class and evening class, chanting sutras and chanting. Morning bells and evening drums, I don't dare to slack off for a moment. .”
Li Jianqiu patted Jiang Wang's shoulder again to show his closeness: "It doesn't matter, it's us who came early, not you who came late. There is indeed no room for slacking off on the path of spiritual practice. Although Senior Brother Zhang and I don't have to go to the Confucian Academy to chant with the fellow juniors, But the morning lessons were also done in the room."
Fang Heling was even more annoyed, but with Li Jianqiu's stance, he did not dare to fan the flames any more.
At this moment, there was only a creaking sound, but it was Dong Ah who pushed the door open and walked out.
"Are they all here?" He looked around, showing no signs of anger.
The four of them all performed Taoist rituals, "Master Dong!"
Dong A waved his hands. He was a straightforward and resolute person who didn't like procrastination. He said calmly: "I've called you here today because I have a task for you. You should all know that the demon attacked the outer courtyard and killed an outer disciple. .The Criminal Investigation Department has been investigating for so long but there is no result. We don’t have to wait for other people to deal with the matters in our City Taoist Court. We will just let you investigate this matter and award the merits according to the eighth-level mission standards."
Different from the outer missions, the inner missions begin to determine the level. Usually the level is determined by the strongest combat power encountered in the mission. And the reward measurement unit is no longer contribution, but Daoxun.
The difficulty is vastly different, and the rewards are naturally as vast as clouds and mud. Take the Vein Opening Pill as an example. The outer sect's contribution points can only be exchanged for a huge amount of points, but Daoxun only requires a hundred points.
Of course, it is not easy to get one hundred points of Daoxun.
Taking this time's attack on the outer courtyard by the demons from the Left Dao alone, the strength shown by the demons was only within the scope of ninth grade. Dong A designated it as eighth grade, which was obviously of some encouraging nature.
"Jiang Wangfang Heling is the only disciple in this class who has two visible channels. He needs to practice hard. Linchuan, Jianqiu, you have a longer training time, so you can take your two junior brothers to investigate separately. The task reward is 19 points.
Whichever side finds it first will get 90%."
Zhang Linchuan and Li Jianqiu both bowed and said, "I will obey my master's orders."
Dong A waved his sleeves and went back home, obviously not intending to interfere in what happened next.
Zhang Linchuan obviously came prepared. He pondered for a while and then said: "I have friends in the Criminal Investigation Department. There are two most useful clues about this demon attack. One is that before the demon attack, I stayed at Fulai Inn for three days. Ying
Some clues are left behind. Another one is that a family in Tangshe Town was wiped out, and there was corpse aura left at the scene, which is somewhat similar to the demon who attacked our outer courtyard. Which path do you choose, Junior Brother Li?"
Li Jianqiu said: "This is Senior Brother Zhang's information. Naturally, it is up to Senior Brother Zhang to distribute it."
Zhang Linchuan was not surprised. If Li Jianqiu had some brains, he would not fight with him at this moment. He said this just for a formality. He nodded immediately, "In this case, I will go to Tangshe Town, and Junior Brother Li will go
Fulai Inn.”
Fang Heling's eyes lit up as he stood next to Zhang Linchuan, "With Senior Brother Zhang taking action, how can a mere evil demon hide away?"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Wang, feeling quite proud.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tangshe Town is more in line with the conditions for demons to lurk, and the clues are clearer. In Fang Heling's opinion, he will take the lion's share of this first eighth-level mission.
At this time, Zhang Linchuan said to Li Jianqiu again: "Junior brother Li, how about I come and take Jiang Wang?"
Li Jianqiu said calmly, "That's fine."
In fact, everyone's positions had already been acquiesced in the split. Jiang Wang and Li Jianqiu were familiar with each other, and Zhang Linchuan and Fang Heling were from the same three major surnames.
Although he didn't understand why Zhang Linchuan didn't choose Fang Heling, who had a closer family background and was more familiar to him, Jiang Wang didn't have the right to choose, so he said politely: "Then I'll trouble Senior Brother Zhang."
Both Zhang Linchuan and Li Jianqiu were experienced and quickly assigned tasks and supplies that might be needed for the mission. Jiang Wang also consciously worked hard to help prepare.
Only Fang Heling was standing there, his face turning green and white.
He had some opinions that he wanted to express, but he couldn't say a word.
