Long Yanfei raised her hand lightly, and the door of a thatched cottage opened on its own, and then she stepped into the house with light steps.
Liu Ming followed closely behind.
"Junior Brother Liu, please wait here for a moment, I will go and inform grandmother." Long Yanfei asked Liu Ming to sit down, and then walked towards the back of the thatched house.
Liu Ming nodded, and after a quick glance, he found that the room was not big, only five or six feet long and wide. Although the display in the room was simple, it was fully equipped with tables, chairs and other items, making it look like a living room.
.
An ancient painting hanging on the wall on one side of the room caught his attention.
The person in the painting is a handsome young man, wearing a green robe and carrying an unsheathed long sword. There is a faint black air lingering on his body, and a sharp and heroic air exudes between his eyebrows, vaguely revealing a sense of oppression.
.
"cough."
A slight cough interrupted Liu Ming's gaze, and Long Yanfei pushed a middle-aged woman in a wheelchair in from the door.
"Grandma, this is Junior Brother Liu, a disciple of Great Grandfather Liuyin." Long Yanfei said softly to the middle-aged woman.
"Junior Liu Ming, I have met my senior." Seeing this, Liu Ming quickly stood up and bowed his hands to the woman.
When he glanced at it, he suddenly realized that the grandmother Long Yanfei was talking about was actually an exceptionally beautiful woman with still graceful appearance. However, her long skirt was completely empty and her legs were missing.
Judging from the undisguised aura on his body, he has a cultivation level in the crystallization stage.
"Fei'er, go make a pot of tea for the guest." The woman smiled and nodded, motioning Liu Ming to sit down, and then turned to Long Yanfei and ordered.
After hearing this, Long Yanfei turned around and walked towards the inner room again.
"Master Nephew Liu, my great-great-grandfather Liuyin Zhenren was accidentally involved in a space storm that day. According to what you said before, it seems that he drifted to a place called Yunchuan Continent and founded the Barbarian Ghost Sect. Can you give me some advice?
Can I tell you in detail how my great-great-grandfather accepted you as his disciple?" the woman asked calmly.
"Reporting back to the seniors, the Patriarch of Liuyin did indeed found the Mangui Sect back then, but when the younger generation entered the sect, the Patriarch had already left Hexi for hundreds of years. And the younger generation only learned some things through the mouths of the master and the leader.
About the Patriarch." Liu Ming answered honestly.
"So, you just became a disciple of the Barbarian Ghost Sect, so how did you get the Dragon and Tiger Underworld Skill that you practiced? Could it be that it was taught by his descendants?" The woman heard this, her tone still calm.
Not slow, but a strange color flashed in his eyes.
"The Patriarch of Liuyin did not teach any of Taiqing Sect's skills to the descendants of the Mangui Sect, but turned what he had learned throughout his life into a picture wall for future generations to read. The younger generation also accidentally read the picture wall and got the idea
I encountered a wisp of spiritual thought left by the Patriarch. Since there was not much energy left on the shadow wall at that time. The spiritual energy might be lost at any time. In this case, Grandmaster Liuyin taught me the Dragon and Tiger Hell Skill and informed the younger generation.
There are some things related to the Taiqing sect. I hope that the younger generation can bring the information back to the sect if there is a chance." Liu Ming changed his mind and slowly told the truth to the beautiful woman in front of him, but about the Taigang sword embryo.
Not a word was mentioned.
At this time, Long Yanfei walked in with a cup of tea.
"Junior Brother Liu, please use some tea. This spiritual tea was grown by me personally and is quite effective in improving mana." Long Yanfei said, after placing the tea cup on the table next to Liu Ming, he stood behind the woman again.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Long." Liu Ming said politely without daring to be disrespectful. He opened the lid of the cup and took a sip. A scent of fragrant air entered his throat, and he immediately felt refreshed.
"Nephew Liu Xian, when you communicated with my grandfather's spiritual thoughts that day, did he mention anything about the spirit of the sword embryo? Or, did your Barbarian Ghost Sect have similar rumors?" The woman said with beautiful eyes.
There was a flash of light, and he asked about the spirit of the sword embryo.
Liu Ming was shocked when he heard this, but the expression on his face did not change at all and he immediately denied it:
"The Patriarch Liuyin never mentioned this matter."
When the woman heard Liu Ming's answer, her beautiful eyes turned away, but she did not ask further questions. She just continued to ask Liu Ming in a friendly manner about the situation and deeds of Liuyin Gaozu that he knew.
After a few hours, Long Yanfei sent him away from the valley.
…
"Fei'er, that Liu Ming has left?" The beautiful woman was looking thoughtfully at the portrait on the wall. As soon as Long Yan Fei stepped into the thatched cottage, she asked.
"Reply to grandma, I sent him out of the valley, and I didn't come back until he was gone." Long Yanfei replied respectfully.
"Your great-great-grandmother had her last words when she passed away, saying that when your great-great-grandfather Liuyin left before his disappearance, he had already begun to condense the Tai Gang Sword Embryo, and because he did not follow the path of sword cultivation, he made it clear at that time that this was the case.
The spirit of the sword embryo was prepared for future generations, and he would never use it. Since Liu Ming had seen a trace of the spiritual thought left by Liuyin's great-grandfather, his great-grandfather also passed on the Dragon and Tiger Underworld Skill to Liu Ming.
He asked him to come to the Taiqing Sect, so how could he not mention such an important matter as the spirit of the sword embryo?" The beautiful woman frowned and said with a somewhat solemn expression.
"Grandma, I just observed that Junior Brother Liu's expression was calm when he answered this matter. It shouldn't look like he was lying." Long Yanfei replied with a slight frown on her beautiful eyebrows.
"It is precisely because he behaved so calmly that it makes people even more suspicious. Fei'er, you should try to contact Liu Ming more in the future to see if you can find an opportunity to find out the whereabouts of the sword embryo spirit." The middle-aged woman said slightly.
With a commanding tone.
"Yes, Fei'er knows." Long Yanfei heard this and agreed.
...
Liu Ming was on his way to drive away the clouds to the cave.
During the previous conversation, he was naturally vaguely aware of the middle-aged beauty's suspicion of him, but under such circumstances, he naturally couldn't explain anything more.
Thinking like this, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and immediately changed his technique, turned around and shot away somewhere in the air.
After about a cup of tea, Liu Ming arrived outside a gray-white hall located on a certain mountain peak.
This hall doesn't look very big, it's more than a hundred feet in size, and the whole hall is made of gray and white stones.
"The Palace of Everything"
Liu Ming looked at the lacquered plaque hanging above the palace door and murmured to himself.
The so-called Hall of Everything is actually a place that specifically provides disciples with some elixirs and talismans. Most of the elixirs and talismans from low-level to high-level can be exchanged for contribution points.
His heart moved, and he immediately walked in slowly.
At this time, in the hall, there were about dozens of disciples wearing various costumes. They were gathering in front of several deacon disciples in twos and threes, exchanging needed elixirs and talismans, or whispering to each other.
"Junior Brother Qin, I heard that your Piaomiao Peak has recently recruited an extremely beautiful inner sect female disciple. Is this possible?" Not far away, a burly man wearing the clothes of an inner sect disciple was walking toward another person.
A handsome young man in green robe inquired.
"It is indeed true. I only learned about this from a fellow disciple. According to his description, this woman is only in her twenties. She has skin as smooth as gelatin and is very attractive. I accidentally met this woman Quyun a few days ago.
However, I think the best explanation for it is that it looks like a fairy." When the graceful young man said this, his face had already changed into a look of obsession.
"I heard that the woman has the body of the legendary nightmare, which can absorb people's souls invisibly. You must have fallen into this technique, right?" Seeing that the young man seemed to be a nymphomaniac, the strong man hurriedly patted the young man.
shoulders.
"The body of the nightmare?"
When the strong man said these four words, Liu Ming, who was walking into the hall, was stunned.
I guess the girl the other party was talking about was Jialan, but I didn't expect that this girl would be able to worship at Piaomiao Peak and become an inner disciple so easily.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Ge, for reminding me. Even if this junior sister doesn't have the body of a nightmare, her appearance alone is enough to drive us crazy." At this time, the young man shook his head and immediately replied with a wry smile.
Although Liu Ming was a little surprised, his expression remained unchanged and he walked towards a deacon disciple who was in charge of exchanging pills.
After a while, Liu Ming walked out of the Palace of All Things, and the more than 5,000 contribution points he had left were all replaced by various elixirs that could improve his cultivation during the liquid condensation stage. He looked at the few items in the bag.
He picked up a small bottle, nodded with satisfaction, pinched the magic weapon in his hand, and the black clouds flew towards the direction of the cave.
After returning to the cave, Liu Ming made some preparations, hung up the house sign at the entrance of the cave to thank the guests, turned around and entered the secret room to concentrate on practicing.
…
Time flew by, and before he knew it, Liu Ming had not left the cave for a year.
At first, Long Yanfei would come to the entrance of his cave to look for Liu Ming every ten days and a half, but after seeing the Xie Ke door sign several times in a row, he gradually came only once every two or three months, but naturally he was disappointed every time.
Of course, Liu Ming knew nothing about this.
On this day, in the secret room of the cave, Liu Ming was sitting cross-legged, and the black energy around him was lingering and extremely dense.
Suddenly, the black air rolled violently, split into two and turned into two black mist, which rushed upwards. Accompanied by a burst of roaring dragons and tigers, the two black mist turned into more than ten feet long.
A black dragon and a giant black tiger were circling and chasing each other in the secret room.
However, the black mist rising from Liu Ming's body was still continuously blending into the dragon and tiger, causing their bodies to gradually solidify.
As the two of them continued to move around, the figure of Wulong and Wuhu suddenly became much clearer than before.
But when the black fog dragon moved its hands and feet, it made bursts of sound in the air, causing the black fog around it to roll unsteadily, while the giant black tiger was making wind on its four legs, causing waves of space fluctuations wherever it passed.
After a moment, Liu Ming suddenly opened his eyes, looked up to the sky and shouted, his body and limbs crackled with bamboo joints, and his figure actually grew by more than half a foot.
On the other hand, the figure of the Mist Dragon and the Mist Tiger shrank by a factor of two, and at the same time, its figure became a little clearer, and it began to wander unsteadily against Liu Ming's body.
At this time, Liu Ming was already over ten feet tall, with bulging muscles all over his body and dense tendons on his body. Under the entanglement of the black dragon and fog tiger, his body exuded a terrifying beast-like aura.
With his eyes flashing, his hands suddenly parted, and the dragon and tiger rose up again. After they met in mid-air, they turned into two black mists again and disappeared into the sky.
