Having spoken about the sword, he thought that the slovenly man in front of him was a swordsman. However, Zhao Shu looked up and down and did not find that the man was carrying a sword.
As a branch of art, swordsmanship can be roughly divided into two streams. One is close to a martial artist, flying with a sword, showing off violence, and has great power in fighting; the other is to collect hardware elites and refine them into swords and daggers. There are psychics with magical powers who can fly on their own after hearing the sound, traveling thousands of miles. This is probably what the world calls flying swords.
However, no matter which one you choose, you need to breath into the sword, temper your body, and finally condense the true energy into the sword energy.
Therefore, the swordsman's qi is obvious and easy to identify. Like Luo Xixian fighting with others, Zhao Shui can sense it even from a mountain top.
But the sloppy man in front of him just slowly raised his sword finger. He was unarmed and showed no signs of the sharp sword energy being activated. But looking at him, Zhao Shu still felt unprecedented pressure.
After the heroic words fell, the surrounding mountains and forests fell silent for a moment, and everything was silent.
Zhao Shu did not dare to be careless at all. He did not passively accept the attack, but took the initiative to raise his hand to summon the true form of the divine tiger.
But I heard the roar of the tiger in the mountains, breaking through the forest and piercing the air. The black tiger made of iron stirred up the golden wind, destroying the vegetation wherever it passed.
The tiger roared and the wind blew up the slovenly man's disheveled beard and hair. His thin face showed no fear, nor did he have any fanatical fighting spirit. His shoulders moved, and his sword finger was gently extended.
In an instant, great silence turned into great movement, just like thousands of mountains shaking, thousands of rivers surging into floods, and sword energy suddenly arising between heaven and earth, all gathering at the fingertips.
The majestic sword energy poured out, and the divine tiger's true form seemed to be caught in the waves, disappearing in an instant. Seeing the sword energy coming, Zhao Shu's mind moved instantly, the five flowers on his body opened, the talisman from his sleeve flew out, and a copper wall and iron wall instantly unfolded .
However, the sword energy was so powerful that the barrier of the talisman was instantly penetrated, and the subsequent five-color brilliance flowed erratically, seeming to be closed and closed, with the intention of making the sword energy fall into the mud.
However, the sword energy offensive was not restrained at all, it easily cut through the five-color brilliance and penetrated Zhao Shu's chest in one fell swoop!
"Substitute to solve the problem?"
The slovenly man whispered, and Zhao Mi's figure turned into little bits of light and disappeared. The main body used the illusion of invisibility to hide, and rushed down the mountain as fast as an arrow from a string.
However, the sword energy did not slow down at all. It was as powerful as a waterfall and more powerful than a landslide, so it pursued Zhao Shu.
The sword energy is powerful, but wherever it passes, there is no damage to the grass or trees, no trace to the earth and stone, just like the sound of the wind and the waves of nature, it penetrates all-pervasively, there is no way to avoid it, and it can only be endured calmly.
Zhao Shu struggled to lift himself up, his body flew along the ground, and the Qingxuan pen in his hand outlined the imaginary points, arousing the earth evil on the ground and turning it into numerous stagnations, with the intention of hindering the power of the sword energy.
"Are you kidding? Where did those local tycoons invite this master from?!"
Zhao Shu fled quickly, thoughts in his mind non-stop. It is said that he is now a monk who has condensed the Xuanzhu, and can be regarded as one of the few masters in Huaxu country. Even if he is not a person famous for his killing power, he is definitely Not an ordinary person.
Moreover, Zhao Shu has many magical methods, and is also clever and cunning. If the assassination attempt fails, it will only allow Zhao Shu to escape.
What's more, this place is not far from Dongsheng Capital, and the fighting force is huge, which will definitely attract the masters and capable people in the city. The assassination case of Jibao Pavilion has happened before, and no killer assassin with a little sense will take action near Dongsheng Capital.
It's just that Zhao Shu never expected that this sloppy man's cultivation and magic power far exceeded his expectations, and his sword energy was unmatched. Compared with him, Luo Xixian was like a phoenix!
Especially the mysterious state where the slovenly man showed no warning before he drew his sword, as if the heaven and the earth were silent, reminded Zhao Shu of Liang Tao involuntarily. Could it be that this slovenly man was also an expert close to the immortal way?
How could such a powerful and wealthy family and thieves in the green forest be able to recruit such an expert to deal with them? I'm afraid even ten thousand taels of gold would be hard to sway them!
Zhao Shu tried his best to escape, and rushed out of the forest in a blink of an eye. However, the sword energy continued to pursue him, destroying all the blocking techniques, and formed a sharp edge from the majestic tide, and arrived directly in front of Zhao Shu.
It was no longer possible to escape, so Zhao Shu activated the life-contracted ring on his wrist, condensing countless years of pure energy from the roots of the earth's veins, and made a brilliant display, protecting Zhao Shu's whole body.
The sharp edge of the sword energy continued, pushing it just inches away from his heart. Zhao Shu took advantage of the situation and retreated, like a bull pulling a plow, pulling out a ravine in the rice field at the foot of the mountain, stirring up water and dust.
After retreating for more than a hundred feet, the power of the sword energy slowed down. Zhao Shu was covered in mud, and the true energy in his body was still surging. His muscles and bones were trembling and weak, and he could barely stand where he was, panting.
He raised his eyes with difficulty and saw the slovenly man raising his feet and taking steps. His movements were not fast, and he came to Zhao Shu in a flash.
"There are many methods, but unfortunately not many of them are useful. I just didn't expect you to be so afraid of death that you would know how to run away." The sloppy man scratched his hair and said, "Forget it, one sword is enough, I keep my word."
Zhao Shu evened out the energy in his body and asked, "Who is this step?"
"Sit and watch the wind and thunder, and look back at the traces of snow. The clouds and water cannot remember the year, and the waves have no memory!"
The slovenly man turned around smartly. Although he was wearing linen clothes and sandals, and his beard and hair were disheveled, he could not hide his aura of transcendence.
Zhao Shu looked at the other person's retreating back and murmured in disbelief: "Hongxueke? Could it be that he is Hongxueke?!"
…
The slovenly man walks as he pleases. To passers-by, he looks like a down-and-out poor man who has come to the south bank of the river, looking at the vast mist and humming in a low voice.
I saw an inexplicable tide surging in the river. There was a man in a purple robe and a jade crown, standing at the head of the tide. It was Liang Tao himself. I heard a clear voice coming from far away:
"Fellow Daoist Hongxue, are you okay?"
The slovenly man whose identity was revealed seemed a little impatient: "Come on, what are you putting on? If you want to walk, walk, if you want to take a boat, take a boat. Are you afraid of seasickness or something like this?"
Liang Tao, who was on the tide, looked stunned. Then he pressed down on the tide and floated to the river bank.
"I just sensed the surging sword energy on the outskirts of Dongsheng Capital, and I knew that someone extraordinary must be visiting." Liang Tao put his hands behind his hands and said with a smile, "Sure enough, a grand event of the Yingzhou Association is approaching, and Taoist Fellow Hongxue is here as scheduled."
"You guys come here every year, and I'm almost bored to death." Hongxueke waved his hands with a look of disgust on his face: "I was a mean person back then, so why did I cut down the barrier set by the ancient immortal?"
Liang Tao said: "Why is Fellow Daoist Hongxue like this? Every word and deed of our generation is mysterious. We are in agreement with the heart of Heaven and the number of earth below. The boundary of Yingzhou Island was broken by Fellow Daoist, so it is fitting that this blessed land will appear in the world.
"
"Ouch!" Hongxueke screamed strangely, and hurriedly squatted down by the river, splashing water to wash his ears. While washing, he said, "No, I can't listen to these words. What the hell, I have never seen those things!"
Liang Tao's eyes tightened, but he still kept smiling: "Fellow Taoist Hongxue is as funny as ever."
"Come on, that's a lot of nonsense." Hongxueke squatted by the river and picked his ears: "You, Master Liang, have come to find you personally. You must have something to say. I'll tell you now while I'm in a good mood!"
Liang Tao asked slightly seriously: "Why did Fellow Daoist Hongxue draw his sword just now? Could it be that he encountered an evil spirit?"
"Pretend, keep pretending." Hongxueke said, "I don't believe you don't know!"
"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Hongxue took a fancy to Zhao Shu and wanted to teach him his swordsmanship?" Liang Tao asked.
"Swordsmanship? He can't learn it." Hongxueke shook his head: "Zhao Shu has already established his foundation, and he doesn't have any rugged sword bones to face difficulties. He is only full of deceitful ideas. Just like you, in this cesspool of Dongshengdu
After soaking for a long time, the smell becomes unbearable and unbearable."
Liang Tao didn't take Hong Xueke's words to heart. He knew that the East China Sea Sword Immortal had an eccentric personality and had no elegance or dignity at all. The only traces of the Immortal's atmosphere could only be glimpsed when he drew his sword.
.
Hongxueke had traveled around Kunlun Continent in the past, and Liang Tao once guessed that he was planning to find his direct disciples.
It's a pity that Hongxueke is surly and withdrawn, and has extremely high vision. If others are not satisfied at all, he will give up and refuse to bother to teach or teach.
Even if he is successful in cultivating immortals, it does not mean that he is good at teaching Dharma and teaching disciples. Hongxueke himself is at a very high level, and his dragon-slaying battle established his reputation as the "first person in Kunlun swordsmanship". However, there is no one who can inherit his immortal family.
fencing.
After so many years, Hongxueke's days of walking around the world have become increasingly sparse, and his desire to teach swords and techniques may have gradually faded away. However, Liang Tao was still suspicious that he would find Zhao Shu.
"Although Zhao Miao does not have a sword heart or bones, he is quite accomplished in rituals and rituals." Liang Tao said with a smile: "In addition, he is also good at using magical objects, elixirs and talismans for ordinary things."
"You've been holding back on that matter for so many years and finally found a solution?" Hongxueke asked.
Liang Tao nodded confidently: "Zhao Shu is a descendant of the official of the Tianxia Dynasty, and he has received the true biography. If you want to create a Taoist kingdom in the world, you will need the help of rituals and rituals."
Hongxueke was silent for a while, then stood up and groped with his hands around his waist. Seeing him like this, Liang Tao couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing, fellow Taoist?"
"I want to poop!" Liang Tao said blankly: "You stink all over your body, I can't stand it, so I have to poop to wash it down!"
No matter how patient Liang Tao was, he couldn't stand Hongxueke's behavior. He frowned and said, "You have achieved immortality, why don't you have any dignity at all? Do you want to act like this?"
"Awesomeness is nothing!" Hongxueke held up his belt: "Is that thing just for nothing? Can it be used as food? Besides scaring people, what else can it do? It doesn't matter if I can be frightened by you, whether I have awesomeness or not; no.
I will be intimidated by you, but I think you are pretentious. You are also a national teacher after all, and you don’t even understand this nonsense?"
Liang Tao then said: "The majesty of the immortal family is not fake. I am not a loose cultivator in the mountains. If I don't have majesty, how can I subdue evil spirits and powerful enemies from foreign countries?"
"You are too greedy." Hongxueke rolled his eyes: "With your cultivation level, you can become an immortal long ago. With perfect achievements, there is no need to force yourself to do things that are impossible to do. Too much is not enough, be careful to use all the accumulated experience in the past.
Squander it!”
"If nothing has been done yet, how can we know that it is something that cannot be done?" Liang Tao said: "The Taoist kingdom in the world is not achieved overnight. After Zhao Shu has laid out the rituals and rituals, I can spend a long time slowly laying out the plan."
"You have such patience, others may not have it." Hongxueke said.
Liang Tao laughed loudly and said: "If they can't hold back, they can show their true colors!"
"I think you are free." Hongxueke reminded: "But I would like to advise you, Zhao Shu seems to be somewhat unpredictable in his destiny. I'm afraid someone has already made plans for him."
Liang Tao frowned, deducing silently in his mind, and said after a moment: "It's strange, Zhang Duanjing shouldn't have such a state."
Hongxueke pinched his nostrils and said, "Don't forget it. Since we are an immortal family, we are not bound by Qi and numerology. The secrets of heaven are unpredictable, so even calculating is in vain."
Liang Tao said: "It's okay for an ignorant child to say this. Do you think I don't understand it at all? If the immortal family is not involved in the world, it is naturally unpredictable, but if you take the initiative to get involved, you will eventually make a difference. Wherever you make something,
You will definitely be angry. You can tell that Zhao Shu is destined to be immortal, that’s why!”
"Ah, yes, yes, you know everything, you are the best!" Hongxueke said with disgust on his face.
"Although you have become an immortal, you have not ascended to the heaven. I think you would rather stay in the world than live under the care of others." Liang Tao said, "But I would like to advise you, you don't have to be alone overseas to fully understand the merits of nature. I want to create a new one.
The Dao Kingdom in the human world is to pave the way for future enlightenment. When you ascend in the future, you will directly reach the highest level of immortality."
"The so-called cave is just building a big house for yourself." Hongxueke said disdainfully: "I am too lazy to be a rich man. There is a sky outside the sky, and I plan to see the scenery outside the world."
"The scenery outside may not be so beautiful, you have to take care of yourself." Liang Tao said.
"As expected, I still can't get along with you." Hongxueke said with great disgust: "It's not just you, Zhang Duanjing, Madam Zhu Zi, all of you are just like beasts, full of flies and dogs, and you are all like animals.
The trough stretches its neck and tries its best to squeeze others out. As a result, there are not many people who can concentrate on the immortal way these days. This world is really rotten!"
"You are disgusted with today's world, but what have you done?" Liang Tao said expressionlessly: "Pretending to be absurd and mocking the world, what's the use in the end? In the end, you still cherish feathers.
I'm afraid of getting my hands dirty, I don't want to tarnish my reputation, I'm afraid of overburdening myself."
Hongxueke sneered and said with rare seriousness: "Liang Tao, do you know why all the immortals in the sky are watching with cold eyes?"
Liang Tao turned to look at the other party, and his expression suddenly changed: "Do you really think they are watching with cold eyes? Hongxueke, don't be too naive. Your understanding of the Immortal Family may not be as profound as mine!"
The sword intent surged in Hongxueke's eyes, as if he wanted to cut open Liang Tao's skin and see clearly what was inside: "I see, no wonder you destroyed so many sects and didn't attract any punishment."
"In the battle of the Imperial Capital, you killed Xuan Ju with your own hands, so you should be able to guess his origin." Liang Tao said: "The Immortal Family who has been banished to the mortal world, even if they don't have the magic power of the Immortal Family, is by no means an ordinary person, let alone that one
The evil dragon was originally his mount in the sky. How much effort did various people put into slaying this evil dragon? Unfortunately, most of them didn't know that the immortal family in the sky just used this earthly world as a chessboard, and I don't
I plan to just be a chess piece."
"The Dao Kingdom in the human world is a situation you have laid out in order to stand up and take charge?" Hongxueke said with a smile: "It's just that Zhao Shu, whom you value, may have become a chess piece in the hands of other immortal families, and may be the key to ruining your layout.
"
Liang Tao's expression was slightly solemn. After thinking for a moment, he relaxed his brows and said, "That's fine. If I were the only one to make moves, wouldn't this game be too boring? If all the immortals in the sky are willing, they can play chess as much as they want!"
