Li Nuo, who was contemplating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and called out lowly toward the lake, and a burst of energy followed the sound and sank into the lake.
A few moments.
Ashina, who was having a lot of fun at the bottom of the lake, poked his little head out of the lake, looked at Li Nuo on the boat with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Ah, brother Zian, were you calling me just now?"
"Well, I see you haven't been here for a long time, have you caught any turtles?"
Li Nuo asked.
"Oh, no."
Ashina sighed and said, "They seem to have moved. I searched for a long time and couldn't find one. Brother Zian, tell me, are they scared by us yesterday, so they moved? This is too smart."
Bar."
"Moving? This is quite interesting. In this case, I will go down with you and take a look."
Li Nuo also had a strong interest in his heart.
The water-avoiding beads were taken away by Qiluo. After all, she had to face the vast East China Sea, and flying with a sword also consumed her true energy.
If you have water-proof beads to protect you, you can swim freely in the sea without fear of drowning.
As for the captured turtle, it was inconvenient for Qiluo to carry it, so it fell into his hands.
Li Nuo had an immature idea...
If this turtle is really a descendant of Xuanwu, it would be considered a spiritual beast.
What is a spiritual beast?
Nature is an animal that can unlock intelligence!
The gibbon ape in the back mountain of Hidden Sword Villa, which can fight the Nanman Grandmaster equally, is the spiritual beast!
Its IQ is no less than that of humans!
When all the major disciples in Hidden Sword Villa saw it, they would bow down and call out "Uncle Master"!
Li Nuo wanted to go deep into the bottom of the lake, find the turtle's mother, talk to her, and make a deal.
Now that the turtle sons are there, the turtle mother must be there too!
And it is not easy for the turtle mother who has developed wisdom to use her natal magical power, the Black Turtle Illusion Formation?
It can be used to deal with the sea tribe.
"Brother Zian, do you want to help me catch the turtle?"
Ashina's brown gem-like eyes curled up with a smile.
What a beautiful and lively little girl. Anyone who sees such an innocent and bright smile will be happy.
"Try it."
Li Nuo smiled, then took a deep breath, turned over and jumped into the lake.
Although there is no water droplet protection, as a third-level martial artist, except for the inconvenience in moving in the water, there are no other problems.
breathe?
As a third-level martial artist, he has already been able to control the expansion and contraction of his skin pores to absorb oxygen in the water, and then transport it to the lungs through the blood.
As long as he has physical strength and internal energy, he can stay at the bottom of the lake for ten or eight years without any problem.
This is also the reason why some elders like to practice deep in the lake.
"Brother Zian, let me help you clear the way!"
Ashina was very happy when she saw this.
She also immediately dove into the lake, and then used the Water Technique to swim freely in the water as if she were friends with others.
Li Nuo looked around and quietly let go of his perception.
In the lake, no matter the swimming fish, aquatic plants, or various microorganisms, they could not escape his perception.
This is the power of a third-grade warrior!
His ability to see the subtle things has been infinitely magnified. He can easily tell how many eggs a female fish has in her belly!
"Stop running around and follow me."
Li Nuo sent a message to Ashina.
If we let this inconspicuous girl lead the way, we might not be able to find the whereabouts of the turtle until dark.
"Hehe, I almost forgot, brother, you are a third-grade martial artist, and you are the most sensitive to aura."
Ashina stuck out her little tongue, and two small pear dimples appeared on both sides of her cheeks. Her waist-length chestnut hair swayed with the water in the lake.
"Don't fool around."
A tip of hair drifted under Li Nuo's nose, making him itchy.
"whee……"
Ashina fully unleashes the youth and liveliness of a girl.
She then swam around Li Nuo and had a great time.
The territory of the Wu Clan is the endless Wushan Mountains, and there are more small streams in the area, but there are no such big lakes for her to play.
The only big lake is the Holy Lake of the Wu Clan. You can't even get close to it, and you still want to swim? That is blaspheming the gods of the Wu Clan, and you will be pecked to death by sky eagles and bitten to death by earth insects!
Therefore, Ashina has become obsessed with the prosperous land of the Central Plains. She does not want to return to the barren mountains and be surrounded by the miasma of poisonous insects all day long.
After swimming for about a quarter of an hour, we had almost entered the deepest part of the lake, and Li Nuo was able to walk forward on the mud.
The vision became extremely dark, and the sunlight from the sky could hardly penetrate.
But it's not difficult for them.
Being able to see at a glance is equivalent to Li Nuo having the ability to see at night.
And this girl Ashina's water skills are also excellent, and she is not afraid of being sucked away by the whirlpool at the bottom of the lake.
"Brother Zian, we found it, right there! Look!"
Ashina was extremely happy.
She discovered that a small turtle quickly swam into the weeds in front of her and disappeared.
Hum hum, this aquatic plant is definitely the turtle’s new home!
Li Nuo stopped and reached out to grab Ashina, preventing her from moving forward.
There was an extremely solemn expression on his face.
He sent a message to Ashina: "Ashina, go up first, row the boat to the lake, and wait for me on the shore."
"What's wrong?"
Ashina turned slightly sideways and stared at Li Nuo with wide eyes, somewhat confused.
She even released her senses, but she didn't notice any danger around her.
"Meet a super master."
Li Nuo stared straight at the water plants in front of him and whispered, "Good boy, you go up first."
"Ah! Brother An, you must be careful. The turtle should have been raised by a master. We just don't want it anymore."
Ashina was not the kind of unruly young lady who would lose her temper. After knowing the seriousness of the situation, she obediently went upstream.
After Ashina's figure completely disappeared.
Li Nuo then walked towards the gravel covered with water plants.
really.
When approaching within one foot of the cave entrance.
A sword energy strikes!
What is unexpected is that this sword energy was so fierce and powerful, but it did not cause any waves at all, and it shuttled freely and silently!
Li Nuo asked himself that with his current strength and cultivation, he couldn't do this!
Fortunately, he had already understood the true meaning of Qingyang Sword Lord's one hundred and eight thousand swords, so this sword was instantly thoroughly analyzed in his eyes.
He turned sideways very lightly and subtly, and the sword energy passed him by. It could be said that it was a thousand miles away, and was soon annihilated in the depths of the lake.
"Senior, I didn't mean to offend you when I came here to look for the spirit turtle."
Li Nuo cupped his hands in front of the rubble with an expression of respect.
A few moments.
The nearby water plants suddenly grew up, and they continued to expand and sway up and down, like the snake hair of Medusa.
Finally, a cave about one foot long was revealed deep in the water plants.
Li Nuo took a deep breath and walked towards the cave step by step.
And these water plants rushed towards Li Nuo.
The neck, arms, and body were all entangled.
But Li Nuo ignored it and continued walking.
really.
This is just a test.
Seeing that it didn't work, the wildly growing aquatic plants retreated.
And Li Nuo also stepped into the grotto at the bottom of the lake.
What's strange is that this lake actually splits into two!
There is a lake outside the grotto, but the inside of the grotto, especially the stone walls, is very dry, with no trace of being soaked by the lake water.
Li Nuo thought about it for a moment and then he understood.
There should be a formation set up in this grotto to block the invasion of the lake water.
After he walked along the grotto path for a while, the front suddenly became clearer.
An old man with gray hair, a wrinkled face, and a skinny face appeared in his sight.
What shocked Li Nuo was that the old man's bones were locked, and his hands and feet were tied in front of the stone wall with magic-suppressing iron chains.
The old man's range of movement was only two feet away. He just sat like an old tree with roots, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
There was no sign of the breath of life from him.
The surrounding stone walls are covered with sword marks. At a rough glance, there are at least tens of thousands of them.
Li Nuo gently touched the sword marks on the stone wall with his fingertips, and a piercing cold breath instantly entered his body, as if he was going to be cut into pieces.
What a sharp sword intent!
Li Nuo quickly activated his internal energy.
Deep in his mind, the shadow of the soaring sword trembled slightly, and then the sword intent was resolved.
Li Nuo exhaled a heavy breath.
The sword intention contained in a random sword mark is so terrifying, not weaker than the sword intention left by the Jiu Sword Immortal in Yuzhou Winery!
And this stone wall is actually something extraordinary!
In other words, this stone wall is alive! And the stone wall is so hard that even if he uses all his inner strength to perform the "Drawing Sword Technique", he can't even think of leaving even a trace!
But now, there are sword marks of different depths everywhere on the stone wall.
Could it be.
Is all this caused by the old man in front of me?
Li Nuo took a deep breath of air.
Who is this elder, and why is he suppressed at the bottom of Xuanwu Lake?
"Young man Li Zian, I have met my senior. I wonder why he is tied up here?"
Li Nuo cupped his hands towards the skinny old man.
It's not that he bullies the weak or fears the strong. It's that he should show due respect to an old man.
Besides, since he came here uninvited, he naturally wanted to correct his attitude.
The old man, who was like a dead tree with roots, slowly opened his slightly cloudy eyes. When he saw that the visitor's face was so young, he was slightly surprised, and asked in a hoarse and dry voice: "How many years?
How could the Central Plains Dynasty produce such a talented and talented son? Boy, how old are you?"
"This kid is twenty-one this year."
Li Nuodao.
"Twenty-one-year-old third-grade martial artist... Hey, he actually has a foundation in Confucianism and Taoism, and his literary skills are comparable to those of a third-grade scholar. Yes, that's really good. He has thirty-percent of the demeanor of the old man."
The old man laughed nervously, and the laughter echoed back and forth in the empty grotto, with endless echoes.
Li Nuo cursed, has this old man been imprisoned for too long and his head is broken?
Return 30% of the style.
Since you are so awesome, why are you being suppressed in Xuanwu Lake?
The old man seemed to be able to read minds. He glared and said angrily: "Boy, you don't believe it?"
"I'd never dare!"
Li Nuoyan said insincerely, "I wonder if my senior has a great surname? Does he have a name in the world?"
have to.
I won't argue with this old man, there's no need.
It’s better to find out the details of this old man first.
When Li Nuo asked this question, the old man seemed to be trapped in memories. The expression on his face also changed, sometimes he was laughing, sometimes he was angry, sometimes he was mad, sometimes he was dead...
Li Nuo didn't interrupt either.
This old man has a story.
It's a pity that he didn't bring any wine...
a long time.
The old man raised his head, his eyes were cloudy, and he sighed: "What did I call this person? It's been so long that I can't even remember it... But I still remember this name clearly."
"Young man, I am willing to listen attentively."
Li Nuo said hurriedly.
“I call myself ‘Sword Immortal’, but the world calls me ‘Sword Demon’!”
The old man's cloudy eyes suddenly changed.
The left eye is filled with misty fairy energy!
But the right eye was occupied by the terrifying dark red demonic energy!
Li Nuo couldn't believe it.
Cold sweat also formed on his forehead.
Damn it.
This old guy is indeed a very powerful person!
In the Dao Sect Sword Sect, there are two characters who are insurmountable by anyone.
The first one is, of course, the founder of the Taoist sect—Tao Zun!
Of course, this is all from the old almanac thousands of years ago, and the Taoist Master has probably become an immortal.
The second one is Sword Master, who is also the youngest disciple of Tao Master.
Because he was dissatisfied with his elder brother taking over the master's position as the head of the family, he became angry and led a group of supporters to establish a separate family on the mountain, and he and his elder brother separated from each other.
This is the origin of Jian Zong.
The youngest disciple of Dao Zun lived up to his expectations and finally became a sword master of the generation, surpassing his senior brother!
After thousands of years of evolution, even though the sword arts and techniques that Dao Sect and Sword Sect are good at have changed, in the final analysis, they are still the same.
So what is the relationship between the sword demon in front of me and the Dao Sect Sword Sect?
hey-hey.
This sword demon, who does not imitate good things but imitates bad things, actually imitated his ancestor's method of dividing families.
He was originally a descendant of Tianjian Pavilion, and he was extremely talented in swordsmanship. At the age of seven, his sword spirit was already in his bones! But he was aloof and arrogant, so his master passed on the position of Great Sword Master of Tianjian Pavilion to his Big brother.
In anger, he also imitated his ancestors and started a new business!
However, he eventually went astray.
He wanted to become a super powerful man like Taoist Master and Sword Master. But he was too impatient and eventually fell into the devil's way.
His expression is sometimes sober and sometimes confused.
When he was awake, he used the three-foot green blade in his hand to slay demons and eliminate demons. But when he was in the lake, he stabbed the sword into the body of his beloved wife with his own hands...
He finally became a sword demon!
He went to Tianjian Pavilion to kill him.
The demonic energy spreads across thousands of miles, and the sword energy suppresses the mountains!
But in the end, the head brother gathered all the strength of Tianjian Pavilion and exhausted his own cultivation to seriously injure him.
Since then, this powerful sword demon has disappeared.
I really didn't expect that hundreds of years have passed. This famous sword demon was originally suppressed at the bottom of Xuanwu Lake.
However, who is it that can suppress the sword demon here?
You know, the sword demon at that time was already at the first level of swordsmanship! Even Yuan Tiangang, the leader of the Taoist sect at that time, was his junior and could only look up to his charisma.
By rough calculation, Sword Demon should be one generation higher than Yang Jianjun.
