Immortal Formula

   Chapter 585 Entering the Sword Pond

In the end, she took out the Great Profound Heaven Chapter. In the hearts of sword cultivators like Mo Li, they only cultivated one sword in their lives, and only if they cultivated this sword into the highest kendo of both life and life would be considered a success. It's a trivial matter, but to Gu Yan, it's extremely useful. She was ingenious, and combined the five spiritual flags with her Jiu Xuan Tian soldiers sacrifice, is to condense a new formation method, which can be freely distributed without the need for a formation diagram. .

   This is what she only realized after the shocking map was destroyed. Since ancient times, only the lowest-level one needs to be used in addition to the array flags, and the rest must be matched with the array plate or the array map. First, the four dimensions of heaven and earth are fixed, and the orientation in the array is fixed, and then applied. various means. However, whether it is an array plate or an array map, they all have their own weaknesses, the amount of spiritual energy they carry, and the rigidity of changes. Gu Yan was also inspired by the unique flag gates in the Cangwu array method, and decided to make a sacrifice. A new array. But I haven't been able to find any good materials. To this day, she has obtained these five spirit flags in the Jietian Pavilion.

   She had a faint feeling that these five spirit flags most likely came from the Demon Sect of the year, or perhaps from the hands of the amazing Zimo Demon Venerable. The agile changes of these five flags are the changes she has seen in magic weapons, but as a formation, the orientation is difficult to be determined, and the foundation is uncertain, so it is easy to be broken by others, so she thought of entering the formation with a sword and borrowing nine Xuan Tianbing fixed his position and entered the formation with sword energy. The combination of the two would increase the power of the formation.

It's just that there are a few puzzles that are difficult to solve, so Gu Yan can't figure it out. In the sword test hall, when she saw this Great Mysterious Heaven Chapter, she suddenly felt like a treasure. It was written by a cultivator. The meridians in his body were born with defects. With great perseverance, he reluctantly cultivated into the Nascent Soul, but after all, he could no longer advance. In this chapter of the Great Mysterious Heaven, he recorded all his life experiences on it, not only the method of sword formation, but also how to practice swords, search for swords, and search for treasures of spiritual veins. There are some anecdotes recorded in his life. Gu Yan couldn't help but sigh, this volume can be called an encyclopedia.

   For Gu Yan, who is compatible and cultivated, this book is no different from a collection. She first carefully read the sword formation technique, and then slowly put away the rest. Afterwards, he began to practice his own magic sword spirit flag technique.

At the beginning, she had already blended the spirit flag with the nine heavenly soldiers, but how to follow her heart and run the same way, she still needed to continue to make sacrifices to find the most suitable method. In the past month, in addition to taking out three days, Along with Su Manjian, who had been idle for a while, outside Tiger Hill, he lived in the room and concentrated on refining his sword formation.

   In these days, Shen Mengli seems to be very busy. Not only has he never come to see her, he seldom even goes out with Sheng Hualan. When the little girl is fine, she can only argue with Jiang Yaojia. And Qin Mingyue mostly just watched quietly, and occasionally persuaded.

  Fang Shuo also retreated and focused on refining his black gold sand. Qin Feng was very familiar with Jiang Yaojia, but Gu Yan felt that this superficial familiarity did not seem to be reliable.

The elder Yue Jiuxiyue came to Gu Yan twice and mentioned the matter of helping each other, but Gu Yan also perfunctory, this kind of secret realm trial is a matter of life and death, if anyone really believes in this kind of agreement , that is the brain water.

  January was over in an instant. On this day, Su Manjian came to send a message, saying that the Sword Washing Pond would be opened in two days, so that they could get ready.

Gu Yan packed up all her magical treasures and other things one by one, and put them away carefully. During this month, in addition to sacrificing and refining the sword array, she also opened the furnace to refine two pots of elixir, especially a kind of her own. With Danyan, the self-named elixir of Qingming Pill is her spirituality of the fire of Qingming in the past. A memory of the spirit.

   In the early morning of this day, she got up early and followed Su Manjian to the main hall in front.

   She saw that Su Manjian was also wearing a short coat and carrying a sword sack, she couldn't help but wonder, "Do you have a share this time?"

Su Manjian smiled and said: "Exactly, I have been trapped in the middle stage of the formation of pills for a long time. According to Master's intention, let me enter the Sword Washing Pond ahead of time and look for opportunities. It's not just me. After a year, the Sword Washing Pond will open again. At that time, there will be a group of disciples who will enter, and this time, the sword washing pool will be opened three times in a row, which is really something that has never happened before."

   Gu Yan was thinking, Yunchi Jianzun's move is a big violation of the tradition of Tibetan Sword Villa. I wonder if it has something to do with the biography brought by Shen Mengli?

   But this time, perhaps because of the large number of them in this group, only Su Manjian was the only disciple who entered the villa with them.

When she got to the front, Gu Yan realized that the main hall, which had never been opened since she came to the villa, was finally opened today. Above the main hall, the throne of nine-leaf golden lotus rose, and a Taoist with long eyebrows sat on it. . He only looked like a middle-aged man, with a pair of sword brows reaching his temples, as if he was about to fly through the air, adding a three-pointed sullen look to his peaceful face. Beside him, on one side was Sylvia Lin, and on the other was a red-faced man he had never seen before, with a rough appearance, just sitting there, silent and dignified like a mountain. Gu Yan wanted to come, the one in the middle was the Yunchi Jianzun who had heard his voice but had never met.

   The three swordsmen of the Yuan Ying period were ascended and seated, and the scene was naturally solemn and extraordinary. Just didn't see Mo Li's figure. After that day, Gu Yan went to the sword test hall again, but found that it was closed, and asked other people, but no one knew whether Yunli Jianzun was still in the sword test hall, or went elsewhere. Mo Li has always been elusive, even Su Manjian doesn't know his deeds, and Yunchi Jianzun, as long as this junior brother doesn't cause trouble, then everything is enough.

Gu Yan followed Su Manjian to his seat, and found that everyone had arrived. Shen Mengli was still sitting across from him with a gentle smile. The next one, Sheng Hualan, Qin Mingyue, Fang Shuo, Jiang Yaojia lined up one by one.

  Gu Yan was next to Yue Jiuxi, but Qin Feng didn't sit on their side. He sat beside Jiang Yaojia, and the two of them whispered sideways from time to time, and they seemed to be very close.

Su Manjian walked to Yunchi, gave him the order, and sat next to Gu Yan, she said in a low voice, "The one next to Master is Uncle Yunyue, he is a specialist. Those who practice the black iron epee have the most murderous aura."

Gu Yan thought of the black iron plate that Lin Feng had used. Xuan iron is the heaviest thing in the world. A small piece weighs as much as ten thousand jin. It becomes a great sword, and its power is unknown. Just looking at him sitting there, looking dignified like a mountain, it really doesn't look like the murderous aura. But Gu Yan's heart was even more vigilant. The so-called rigid can't be guarded, soft can't be long. This sword master has obviously refined his stubbornness to nine turns and a thousand times, and he is harmonious and happy. Zhirou, and Ye Yunting's kind of kendo that combines hardness and softness, and goes hand in hand, is another way.

Gu Yan has only seen the faces of the four swordsmen today. Although they are all swordsmen, each of them has a different way of practicing and attained Taoism. There are many lessons to be learned from them. a lot.

Just thinking about it casually, Yunchi has already opened his mouth, his voice is as peaceful and pleasant as Gu Yan heard last time, "Today's reopening of the Sword Washing Pond is also considered a major event in this sect, and I invite you to watch the ceremony. Do you dislike it? If you are, you can go down and have a try. It will be limited to three months, and it will be opened at that time, and the opportunity will be self-seeking."

   These people all stood up and saluted: "I respectfully obey the law of the Sword Master!"

Yunchi waved his hand, and Gu Yan only saw that in his hand, he was holding a jade ruler, which was divided into nine sections. Every joint was slightly golden. He raised his hand and faced the void. where, a heavy blow. Just heard the sound of "dang", which was crisp and sweet, and everyone's spirits were lifted.

   Then countless birds flew all over the sky and landed towards the Sword Washing Pond in front of the mountain. The clouds and mist on the pool surface were transpiring, and suddenly there was a hill that slowly rose from the bottom of the pool.

The throne under Yunchi Jianzun rose into the air and flew out, and everyone flew out, and came to the sky above the Sword Washing Pond. Yunchi said loudly: "In the past, the ancestor of the Tibetan sword was abandoned in the Sword Washing Pond. Sword, the true spirit is not tasteful, it becomes the soul of the sword, my disciples, those who have the opportunity, can enter and take it, the spirit of the ancestors will not be ignored!"

   The jade ruler in his hand knocked down heavily, hitting the top of the hill, but it was silent and silent, and then the top of the hill cracked silently, revealing a passage inside.

   All the disciples gathered outside the Sword Washing Pond all bowed down at this time. The immortal music around was played, like a sound of sound.

  Su Manjian was the first to get up, she bowed three times to the top of the mountain, then rode the sword light, flew up, and threw herself into the sword washing pool.

The people behind    also followed suit, and went in one by one. After all the nine people had entered, the mountain top was closed again and slowly descended, and the water surface of the Sword Washing Pond returned to its previous calm.

Ye Yunting said at this time: "Although Xijian Pond is a secret realm, it is different from the ancient battlefield after all. You can enter and exit at will without going through a teleportation array. Jade step?"

   Yunchi Jianzun's two long eyebrows wrinkled imperceptibly, "Now Cangwu is a troubled autumn, I have to check it."

Yun Yue, who had not spoken for a while, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "If you let the three Yun Ze monks in here rashly, nothing will go wrong, right? You know, last time Senior Brother Yun Li collapsed the Earth Vein, and the terrain below is already huge. Changes, especially in the Cave of Myriad Laws Returning to the Origin, are even more murderous and dangerous everywhere. Did you take a little risk?"

  Yunchi replied: "The promises made in the past must always be fulfilled, so just leave it to this time, and I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future."

   Ye Yunting grinned, showing a hint of smile, "Not necessarily, I think that girl, she shouldn't come back empty-handed..."

When Gu Yan entered the Sword Washing Pond, she was very determined. She had heard Su Manjian mention it a long time ago. Although this place is also a secret realm, it is not another space isolated from heaven and earth like the ancient battlefield. They are both under Tiger Hill, at least geographically, they are only less than a dozen miles away from Si Jianzun. This made her feel very stable. She was here just looking for an opportunity, but she didn't want to scream anymore.

   Although it is said that there are only hundreds of sword souls hidden in the sword washing pool, it does not mean that it is useless for monks who do not practice kendo to come in. Otherwise, the young disciples of the Nine Great Sects would not be so flocking. Because these sword souls floating in the sword washing pool, in addition to being collected by sword cultivators as swords for sacrificing life, they can also be directly collected into magical treasures and become the existence of artifact spirits.

  In ancient times, the general high-level magic weapon had an artifact spirit, just like another avatar of the master, it could be used to control the magic weapon and use the heart. It's just that in later generations, the method of refining artifact spirits is gradually lost. In addition, the resources of spiritual energy are all scarce, and there are fewer and fewer magic weapons with artifact spirits. At least Gu Yan has not seen one yet.

   And these sword souls in the Sword Washing Pond, after being collected, can replace the spirits and suppress the magic weapon. I heard that the great elder of the King Kong Sect at that time once got a Wanbone Flood Dragon Hammer overseas. It was so violent that he couldn’t even suppress his own essence. The Lord opened the Sword Washing Pond for him, and found a strand of sword soul in it, which was collected in the hammer and used as a magic weapon to suppress the weapon spirit before he could finally collect it. Therefore, the nine people on this trip, except for Su Manjian, all came with this idea.

And Gu Yan is no exception. She originally wanted to find a sword soul for her Tai Ajian as a tool spirit to suppress the main sword, but now she has changed her mind. Taking the heaviest mouth of the Nine Profound Heavenly Soldier as the main sword, and mobilizing the rest of the eight directions with this as the center, according to the chapter on the Great Profound Heaven, there must be a sword soul on top of this main sword to suppress, otherwise, it is up to the cultivator himself. His spiritual sense, no matter how powerful it is, can't clear all the changes in the sword formation in an instant.

Everyone had their own thoughts, and when they entered the bottom of the pool, they found that there were countless pools of water around them. They all had a way to avoid the water. Naturally, they were not afraid. Go, Shen Mengli said with a smile: "I only heard that the Sword Washing Pond is extremely murderous, and every time the moonlit night is miserable, the sword qi rushes into the sky. Now it doesn't seem to be true. Otherwise, how can these fish be so free?"

Su Manjian smiled without saying a word, Fang Shuo said in a loud voice: "I heard from the master that the source of the Sword Washing Pond is the living water that comes from nowhere, and these fish all come from the coast of the sea, not far away. Swim here and live here for less than three days, then you will die, and after the sword energy has passed, a new batch of new ones will come, and the cycle will go on and on forever."

  Shen Mengli smiled and said, "So that's the case." Since returning from Gusu City, there seems to be a layer of separation between him and Fang Shuo, and he always feels that speaking is not so pleasant.

  Sheng Hualan said goodbye to Fang Shuo, she threw away Qin Mingyue, walked to Shen Mengli's side, and said, "Senior Brother Shen, where should we go next?"

  Shen Mengli smiled and said: "When you come here, Miss Su is a human being, how can you give a guest a gift on behalf of the host?"

At this time, everyone had fallen to the bottom of the Sword Washing Pond, and Su Manjian said: "Let's move forward, it is the stone room opened by the ancestor of the Tibetan sword. You can enter it, look at the ancestor's handwriting, and experience the sword's meaning. Then, we will go down below. Let’s go. There are thousands of caves and thousands of caves there, and the soul of the sword is hidden deep. Let’s find opportunities and take whatever we enter. Master has set a period of three months, and I think it is enough.”

Gu Yan clasped her hands and stood aside, listening to their chatting, watching the surrounding water and light, countless fish swimming freely, seaweed and corals everywhere, and all kinds of scenery, she couldn't help thinking: what she has entered in the past Among the dangerous places in the secret realm, this trip is the easiest, and it is no different from the usual outings. I hope this time I can return safely. After counting the days, her disciple Moyan was not far from leaving the customs, and when she returned, she was just instructing her to build a foundation.

   Together with Qin Feng, Jiang Yaojia, who was standing on the other side, suddenly spoke. The two of them have become more and more intimate these days, going out and in with each other, talking and laughing without restraint, and Qin Feng seems to have changed his usual stubborn temper, being careful, gentle and considerate, obviously this girl from Yunshang Valley Disciple, I have green eyes on him.

It's just that her voice, with a bit of coldness, doesn't seem to be as pleasant as her appearance, "I heard that the Xijian Pond was closed due to an accident in the past, and it reopened several times after that, I don't know, but it's true? "

  Su Manjian's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "That's an old affair of the teacher's school, it's rarely mentioned, Manjian doesn't know."

  Shen Mengli changed the topic and said, "Okay, let's go and pay homage to the old relics of the Tibetan Sword Master first, and let's talk about the rest slowly."

  Leading with the Suman arrow, everyone walked forward first.

  The further they moved forward, the more low-lying the terrain became. It seemed that they circled around in a loop, and then continued to descend, and even the water vapor gradually became thinner. Gradually it was all air, the water traces were gone, and the fish were gone, but the seaweed turtles and the like were still crawling on the ground, and sometimes stepped on the shells, Gu Yan couldn't help thinking randomly. : Could it be that this place, like Nantianmen, is actually connected to the sea eye?

   At this time, Sheng Hualan suddenly said: "Yeah, so beautiful!"

In front, under the cover of a blue water vapor, there is a large stretch of sand that cannot be seen at a glance, incomparably smooth and white, with finely broken shells dotted in it. The crystal clear and translucent brilliance shines here with jewels and colorful.

Gu Yan seemed to have returned to the Pearl Palace Beque Que once again. She took a deep breath and felt comfortable and at ease. Looking around, the ancient trees towered into the sky. Rows of houses, "If you want to come here, it is the sword room built by the ancestor of the Tibetan sword, right?"

Su Manjian nodded with a smile, "That's right, the ancestor of Tibetan Sword built more than 100 sword rooms here. It was originally intended as a place for the disciples of the younger generation to practice, but later abandoned for some reason, but in every sword room, there was the ancestor of the ancestor. The handwriting and sword intent left behind."

  Shen Mengli said: "I heard that everyone who comes here must first look at the original works of the Tibetan Sword Master. How about asking Miss Su to lead the way?"

  Su Manjian made a "please" gesture, and everyone moved forward together, from the left to the present, from near to far, looking from the first stone room.

Gu Yan stood in the middle of the crowd and entered one by one. The nine people arrived in the first stone room. On the front, there was a Taoist figure with a long sword in his hand. Everyone knelt down in front of the statue and bowed to pay homage. Afterwards, in each stone room, more than ten pictures were engraved, all of which were the ancestors of Tibetan swords doing sword stances.

  Su Manjian was also entering here for the first time. She watched the swords with great concentration, and secretly realized it in her heart.

  Gu Yan looked at these sword stances, as if he was enlightened. Although she is not a sword cultivator, she can't see through the true meaning of these swordsmanships, but after reading this series, I always feel that this feeling is a bit familiar, but I can't tell where it is...

  These hundreds of stone chambers, just the sword postures engraved, there are as many as thousands of pictures, and everyone looked at them one by one, and it took a full three days. Although these swordsmanships are also recorded in the Sword Canon, the gestures of the Tibetan Sword Master, which carries his understanding of kendo, are not comparable to the boring and straightforward explanations in the Sword Canon. Su Manjian realized here with his heart that although everyone was just watching the flowers, they also gained something. It was not until three days passed that they resigned from here and moved on.

   After passing this piece of white sandy beach, the terrain ahead suddenly became steep. Su Manjian said: "It's not bad here. Passing through the canyon in front is the 'Ten Thousand Thousand Caves' where sword souls gather. After so many years of accumulation, there are countless monsters there, many types, all of which are If you haven't seen it in Cangwu, everyone must be very careful."

  Shen Mengli said at this time: "I have a question, I don't know if everyone will work separately or get together?"

  Sheng Hualan snorted, pulled Qin Mingyue's arm, and dragged her over here, "I think it's better to split up, lest everyone get together and some people will be annoying."

Jiang Yaojia smiled faintly. Unlike Sheng Hualan, she was tall and her temperament was even more aloof. From the inside to the outside, she had a cold aura, so Qin Feng was able to approach her, which made Gu Yan very surprised. I don't know how these two met the right eye.

   "I think the same is true, Brother Shen, you guys are going all the way, I'm going all the way by myself, you won't have any opinions, right?"

Shen Mengli smiled and said: "Junior Sister Jiang is serious. I have an idea, everyone can read it for details. I think everyone is new to the 10,000 statues and 1,000 caves at the bottom of the pool, so why not divide them into three paths and walk one by one. We will meet again every other ten days to report an insight, and then we will take turns, and we will talk about it when we have the opportunity. It will also save us from this time in vain."

Everyone praised his words well, and it also avoided the disputes between the two women. Gu Yan couldn't help but admire Shen Mengli in his heart. She is said to be exquisite, and the people she has seen are probably only Yuan Zitan who can compare with them. In comparison, Qin Feng seems too stubborn. Such as Wei Jie and others are not worth mentioning.
