Shrouding the sky: Slashing the world of mortals with a sword, becoming the strongest empress

Chapter 5

"Boom-thump-thump-"

The sound of the bell is far away, and the tone is extremely deep, washing away the glitz and fatigue of the night.

Nan Xiao woke up from a deep sleep and found a pair of black cloth shoes and clothes embroidered with silver leaves beside the bed.

The sika deer has been waiting at the door for a long time, its wet eyes full of joy.

Quickly put on a white shirt and cloth shoes, and led by the sika deer, Nan Xiao trotted towards the school.

The fairy mountains are misty, and the majestic peaks are high and dangerous.

On the gentle slope, there are lush terraced fields.

There are pavilions and buildings on the high places, and the houses in the valley are just like houses.

The blue-robed cultivator stood on the ridge of the canal, with a bright belly, waving a big cattail fan, blowing the seedlings.

The early sun shines in the east, and the divine rainbow is in the sky.

Nan Xiao looked up and saw a clear spring stretching in the sky like silk.

There is a fairy in a purple dress, with hair like a waterfall, driving a spring to irrigate in mid-air.

Flowing water comes from the sky and is scattered by the wind.

Nan Xiao was fascinated. She didn't expect that practice could replace manpower to a certain extent, so she slowed down her running speed and admired it seriously.

Not long after, the fairy Yuhong left.

The wind gradually stopped, and the water waves were calm.

People in gray robes came from the valley, some led cattle, some carried plows, yawned, and started another day of work.

Maybe there will be cultivators coming to loosen the soil and weeding in the future.

This time I didn't see any deer.

Nan Xiao chased the plum blossoms and circled the mountain road for half an hour.

In front of it is a jade building with about three floors.

The stairs are outside, and the moss in front of the steps is thick and green.

Nan Xiao heard the sound of books on the second floor, but there were no footprints on the steps in front of the door, so she was in trouble.

"Meihua, I seem to be late, how should I get in?"

Nan Xiao rubbed her head. Still panting, she didn't rush to step on the steps to the second floor. Instead, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked the very human sika medicine deer.

Her voice was low and her tone was gentle.

The sika deer shook its head, then stared at the moss on the steps with bright eyes, moved all four hooves, and was about to go forward to nibble.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp slapping sound from above.

Reading on the second floor stopped immediately.

The sika deer hummed lowly, and a silver collar appeared around its neck, restraining it in place.

Nan Xiao stood beside her, and instead of reaching out to rescue her, she looked up to find the root of all the strange things.

really!

On the second floor of the jasper splendor, there is an old man with white hair and childlike face leaning on a railing to look down.

Nan Xiao bowed slightly, holding the full moon jade pendant in both hands, and said: "Disciple Nan Xiao, disciple of Elder Zilu, pays homage to the Venerable Master."

"As the son of an elder, why doesn't he know the rules? He was late on the first day, missed the breakfast time, and indulged in medicine deer. The moss used to warn the younger generation not to be lazy was almost destroyed!"

The old man's tone was serious and blunt, and he directly pointed out Nan Xiao's question.

Nan Xiao didn't deny it, but kept her posture, quietly listening to the old man's teaching.

"I think it's your first offense, and your master is my brother, so I will only punish you with three feet."

Seeing that Nan Xiao's attitude was quite correct, the old man turned his back.

The sound of the books above reappeared.

Nan Xiao stood up straight and found that the collar on the sika deer's neck had disappeared.

The bronze door on the first floor of the Jasper Building also slowly opened.

"Meihua, you go back first, don't wait for me."

After saying this, Nan Xiao stepped over the threshold and entered the Jasper Tower.

It's not dark inside, it's even brighter than the early morning light outside.

Except for the nine bronze hanging lamps hanging above the head and the spiral wooden ladder in the center, there is nothing else.

After roughly scanning the overall layout, Nan Xiao quickly walked up the inner stairs to the second floor.

The layout and arrangement of desks on the second floor are roughly the same as what Nan Xiao saw in the private school of Banyuepo Academy.

The unsmiling old man in a green shirt, holding a sapphire ruler in one hand, checked the homework of the white-robed apprentices.

"Disciple Nan Xiao, disciple of Elder Zilu, pays homage to the Venerable Master."

Seeing that the old man ignored her, Nan Xiao had no choice but to surrender again.

Suddenly, the full moon jade pendant in Nan Xiao's palm was protruded by a gentle force, and fell steadily back into Nan Xiao's arms.

Then the sapphire ruler in the old man's hand turned into a blue light, and he slapped Nan Xiao's palm three times.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

One sound is crisper than the other.

Nan Xiao resisted the excruciating pain, she didn't say a word, but the tears in her eyes fell uncontrollably.

The palms that had been covered with bleeding calluses due to climbing were actually shattered by the blue light, and the hard flesh on the skin fell directly to the ground along with the blood.

All this happened on the stairs.

Besides Nan Xiao, there were eight boys and girls in white robes sitting on bamboo benches not far away.

There are ten desks in total, two by two in a row.

The first four rows are already full, and the last two desks are still vacant.

The group of children who were about the same size as Nan Xiao were all exquisitely carved, either white and clean, or round and fat, like porcelain dolls.

At this time, most of these porcelain dolls pinched their noses, their eyes full of complaints.

The old man probably didn't expect this to happen to Nan Xiao's palm. He frowned, took out a palm-sized copper lamp from his bosom, and lightly blew on the candle towards the filth.

The tongue of fire swept through the hard flesh and dirty blood, and before the smell of burnt permeated, it burned the dirt away, leaving only a pool of black ashes on the spot.

Putting away the copper lamp, the old man waved his wide sleeves, and the swirling wind and wisps of water wiped away the scorched black on the ground.

The jasper floor was once again spotless.

"Find an empty seat and sit."

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Due to her difficult childhood and precocious childhood, Nan Xiao calmly chose to sit in the corner seat under the contemptuous gazes of the crowd.

"My title is Master Qingxuan, cultivator of Shenqiao. In the next three months, I will guide you to practice, refine medicine and tame animals. I have already told you the formula of the bitter sea in the "Tao Jing". Now Is there any question you can ask."

Master Qingxuan sat on the bamboo chair at the very front, he no longer had the ruler in his hand.

"Master, I am the younger brother of Lan Yu'an Xianmiao, and my name is Yu Tan. What I want to ask is, is there really endless death energy in the sea of ​​desolation and silence? Why is the first step in spiritual practice is to seek death? Woolen cloth?"

Yu Tan, the boy sitting at the front, was the first to ask.Although his clothes were the same white as Nan Xiao and the others, a golden leaf could be seen at the neckline.

Master Qingxuan nodded, admired Qin very much, and affirmed: "Yes, human practice is to cultivate the way of life in the dead, and the sea of ​​suffering is death, so naturally all are endless dead energy. But the wheel of life of the human body Essence escapes due to practice, and finally floats on the surface of the sea of ​​suffering. As long as you practice further, you can make full use of the essence overflowing from the wheel of life, and open up a fountain of life in the sea of ​​suffering, thus laying the foundation for the subsequent journey to the other side of the plastic bridge. Base."

The girl sitting in the first row with Yu Qin wore two croissants and muttered. She clearly wanted to be the first to ask a question, but she was preempted.

At this time, it does not mean that Tan continued to ask questions, the girl quickly shouted: "Master, it's my turn! I am Bao Fei, and my brother is Bao Wan, the one who was childhood sweetheart with Fairy Qingcheng, our family is in The Wangxian Bazaar under the west gate of the Shu Road in Qingya Fudi is the home of merchants who provide mortal treasures for immortals!"

Master Qingxuan slightly opened his thin lips, and interrupted: "Talk about the problem."

"What I want to ask you is, what is the physique of those fairy seedlings? Why are they named fairy seedlings?" Bao Fei's face was rosy, and she knew that she had grown up rich and raised, full of the air of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers.

After hearing this question, Master Qingxuan sat up straight slightly, and solemnly said: "The sky belongs to birds, because birds have wings and are suitable for flying. Scaled fish belong to rivers and seas, because the breathing method of scale fish is suitable for living in water .Tigers hunt with sharp teeth, and snakes and insects have poison..."

"The same is true for human beings. Some people are naturally suitable for cultivation. This kind of people, whether it is the refinement and operation of the essence of heaven and earth, or the understanding and interpretation of Tao and reason, and the deduction and misappropriation of the four seasons and fortune, are all A cut above ordinary people. And the best of this kind of people, the physique is even more natural, with the brilliant achievements of their ancestors, they are given exclusive names. Such as Zhongzhou's feathered body, Donghuang's divine body, Nanling's The heavenly demon body and so on, as well as the innate Taoist body that can sway the avenue, the Pluto body that connects the underworld with visions, the Taiyin body and the sun body are rare in ancient times, and the chaotic body is rare. Throughout the ages, except for the legendary chaotic body, the ancient The holy body can be regarded as one of the strongest physiques, according to legend, they are..."

When Nan Xiao heard the desolate ancient holy body, her body shook, and she tried to sit forward, trying to hear the content clearly, but Master Qingxuan's voice became lower and lower, and in the end it was almost inaudible.

Master Qingxuan seems unwilling to continue to expand on this issue, so he will not elaborate on those special physiques that are more powerful than Immortal Seedlings.

"Master, I know the ancient Eucharist!"

Bao Fei jumped up against the case, then glanced back at Nan Xiao, then turned to Master Qingxuan and said with a sweet smile: "My house is in the Wangxian Market, the dirty girl who bled just now is a beggar, a born scumbag! So what if his brother is the holy body? He is still dead!"

Master Qingxuan didn't stop him, as if pampering Bao Fei, he said softly: "I haven't gone down the mountain for a long time, I don't know much about these things, can you explain it to me?"

As soon as these words came out, Bao Fei, who was quite reserved at first, kept shaking out the stories he heard at Wangxian Market like a chicken pecking at rice.

"His elder brother was the Ancient Saint Body, who was discovered by the Yuhua God Dynasty and taken away! He ended up with a low life, useless than ordinary soldiers, and died within a few years! The second son of the Wang family who turned to sell meat buns on Banyuepo said it himself !" Bao Fei was very excited, concise and to the point.

Nan Xiao sat in the corner, a little at a loss.

Angry, but she didn't dare to resist, after all, her strength was far apart.

Ignore it, but she doesn't want her brother to be ridiculed and slandered by others.

He wanted to make a fist, but the hand that was bound with the white robe was still dripping with blood.

Nan Xiao could only sit where she was, clenched her teeth, her face was pale, and she tried her best to maintain her sanity.

Sitting in the second row, a chubby boy laughed out loud and asked, "The second son of the Wang family? What kind of name is that?"

"Hi! The boss of the Wang family was killed by a wild boar, so the second son of the Wang family is afraid and no longer a butcher. Now he specializes in buying ready-made meat and selling buns instead!" Bao Fei replied loudly, enjoying the feeling of being supported by everyone.

In order to stir up the atmosphere, Bao Fei continued to vividly describe the tragic situation of brother Nan Xiao's death, as if he wanted to drag the unattainable holy body that Master Qingxuan said was off the altar.

The corners of her mouth were grinning wide, her teeth were not yet fully formed, and her speech was a bit leaky.

Bao Fei, whose appearance is as crystal clear as morning dew, is domineering and perverse on the inside.

At the beginning of human beings, nature is indistinguishable.

Acquired training is only part of the determining factor.

Some children who haven't learned to pretend are born wicked.

At this moment, Nan Xiao, who had been patient for a long time, became extremely angry.

She can't help it!
