Ask the Mirror Chapter 262: Secret World
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!
Zhang Yan's character is like this. The words "I lost" came out of his mouth with no weight at all. But even so, with his status as an elixir-returning monk, he still made the onlookers speechless for a moment.
Including some guys who have been prepared for it.
"It's too much, it's too much!"
"Well, this is probably not what we want..."
High in the air, both Li You and Hong Qianqiu saw each other's helpless expressions. Yes, the two of them were the instigators.
It should be said that the two of them are completely out of good intentions. According to the "card grabbing" rules of the Empirical Department, a monk who has a "sacrifice sword card" in his hand cannot refuse the challenge of "grabbing the card" from others, but the time can be fine-tuned within the scope allowed by the situation.
This was originally a clever trick to encourage internal competition and improve the monks' actual combat capabilities, but precisely because it was "internal", Yu Ci's way of using the sword, which saw blood immediately after unsheathing, was not very safe. If they fight at a high frequency, something might happen during a series of fights and cause trouble. So, they found Zhang Yan.
This is probably the only one in the entire Lichen Sect who meets the requirements and doesn’t care about status or the temptation of the "Sword Garden" itself - as long as he can do what he likes.
The original plan was for Zhang Yan and Yu Ci to have a "sympathizing with each other" scene in a half-released situation. They could "obviously let go" to a certain extent, but not to tell the winner, so that there would be a reason. If the battle between the two continues legitimately, with Zhang Yan as a shield, there will be fewer people who come to challenge him. If things go well, they can even recruit Zhang Yan as a sparring partner, which will hopefully give Yu Ci a new edge in his swordsmanship.
This plan sounds good, but in fact Li You and Hong Qianqiu didn't put much thought into it, and there was no need for it. Zhang Yan is no longer the same Zhang Yan as before, but both of them believe in this person's ability to control the situation. Controlling a junior disciple who is a master of spiritual cultivation and creating an atmosphere is definitely not a problem.
But accidents are accidents, they always make faces when people ignore them.
"It's self-defeating. What should we do now?" Hong Qianqiu looked at his accomplices with accusing eyes. In the final analysis, this whimsical idea was thought up by Li You.
What could Li You do? He scratched his head, and finally could only answer without any results: "Ask Senior Brother Zhang later, how did this happen..."
He complained a little. In a sense, Zhang Yan betrayed their "trust" and even made things worse. Don't imagine that a "victory" will scare away the monks in the Empirical Department, not to mention that this "victory" is full of unreasonable absurdity, and there is something fishy about it.
After living in this circle for many years, people will first understand one thing: to confirm something, the easiest and most direct way is to try it yourself! It is conceivable that from tonight onwards, people who hear this news but are unwilling to be left alone will throw flakes of challenge letters into the monastery where Yu Ci lives - the Empirical Ministry has always encouraged this kind of situation!
"There won't be a river of blood, right?"
Hong Qianqiu was somewhat joking, but considering Yu Ci's consistent sword power, no one can guarantee that a similar situation will not occur. After all, Yu Ci's sword is so powerful that it is even extreme. This "sword of killing",
"How about I go back and ask Junior Sister Meng?"
Of course, Mengwei is the best candidate for Yu Ci's matter, but Li You is worried about the consequences of his poor ideas and the "inevitable" violations of the rules in the process of inviting Zhang Yan out. He was scared...but soon, he wouldn't have to worry about this matter.
"Senior Brother Li, do you want to discuss Junior Brother Yu's matter with me?"
Meng Wei couldn't hear the voice of joy or anger that sounded behind the two of them. Hong and Li were both startled. They turned around and saw Meng Wei standing in the void with a slight frown on his face. Next to her, the fat man winking at him, who else could he be if he wasn't Taoist Li?
Li Daoshi acted as a coachman this time. Mengwei's injury has not healed and it is difficult for him to control the sword and fly by himself. That is to say, his Yanze Sword, when wielded, can be powerful or small, and can change according to the heart, so that it can be hidden from the perception of Hong and Li.
Speaking of which, Hong Qianqiu and Li Hong are dozens of years older than Meng Wei. Among mortals, there is already a gap of one or two generations. However, they still have to be careful when facing this rising star of the Discipline Department. After all, in the entire sect, there is only one female cultivator who can criticize the ancestor's wrongdoings face to face in the past thousand years.
They all have the most basic respect for this.
Not to mention Li You, when he saw Meng Wei appear, he almost fell from the sky. His usual lively laughter flew out of the sky. He could only smile awkwardly and said: "Junior Sister Meng is also here to see this." A gambling fight?"
"It's too late."
Meng Wei responded simply, and Xuan said calmly: "Senior Brother Hong and Senior Brother Li walked away very fast."
Given the character of a female cultivator, saying such ironic words can only prove that she is indeed very dissatisfied.
But in the end, Mengwei didn't say any more words about disposal. She looked at Yu Ci on the mountain wall who was still the focus of everyone's attention, and said softly: "Junior brother Yu has been wandering away for many years, and he has the opportunity to kill with the sword. It’s easy to attack but difficult to control, so I didn’t expect this at the beginning, but now that the situation has developed, it will take a while for Senior Brother Li to cool down..."
She turned to look at Li Hong. If we really talk about the status here, it is actually Li Hong who is the leader. As the second-largest figure among the four generations of disciples of the Zhenzheng Department, he looks kind and simple, but in fact he has a deep mind and a restrained edge. He usually laughs and scolds in articles, but also He has a wide network of contacts, and it is difficult to get around this person when working in the empirical department.
Taoist Li did not respond directly, but shook his head and sighed, and said to Hong and Li: "Ayan still has the same temper. It was in vain that I spent all my efforts to win his sacrificial sword card... Hey, you two , but don’t worry, at most I’ll give you a favor in the future.”
It's good that Taoist Li didn't bring it upon himself and suddenly became an "accomplice", making Mengwei dumbfounded. At this time, the fat man scratched his chin and said:
"I understand what Junior Sister Meng means. On the one hand, when Junior Brother Yu competes with others in the future, we will be particularly careful to avoid accidents; on the other hand, Junior Sister Meng and Junior Brother Yu came to the mountain gate to study, even though many of them are now The elders are not at home, but they still have what they should have. This kind of wild swordsmanship is practical, and you must also be exposed to the authentic sword-handling techniques."
Meng Wei was startled, and then he understood: "Senior Brother Li is right. Although the sect is not a swordsmanship sect, it has a rich collection of sword canons. Junior Brother Yu should really draw on the strengths of all the sects and add them in theory. Perfect.”
"Junior Sister Meng said that our empirical department will not treat the sect's meritorious officials badly. In this way, Lao Hong, Ayou, and I will nominate to fight for Junior Brother Yu's 'Fa Tian Secret World' this month 'How about letting him study, calm down, and recharge his batteries in preparation for the trip to the Sword Garden?"
"Senior Brother Li, you took the trouble." Mengwei bowed to express his gratitude.
Li You listened to their exchange of opinions, and while he agreed in his heart, he also couldn't help but slandered: "Wild roads... The mirages in the middle of the mountain are all wild roads, so what does my 'Wu Dinghuo' mean? Is it a juggling act?"
With this ridiculous idea, he shook his head, smiled, and looked over there.
Yu Ci, who was chatting in a low voice with Zhang Yan, still didn't know that someone was racking his brains to make arrangements for him: Why didn't you notice before that he was still a troublesome master?
************
Yu Ci leaned against the stone wall and sat on the ground in a relatively comfortable position. In the semi-enclosed space, only the circular holes above his head let in the outside light, making the place less eerie.
He did not deliberately run his mind, but as he breathed and inhaled, the external spiritual energy was as mellow as wine, seeping into the pores of his body, running naturally, and forming a system of its own. Over time, he felt like he was intoxicated. The feeling of intoxication makes one unable to help but indulge in it.
Having been here for half a month, Yu Ci still couldn’t help but sigh: Practicing in the Lingmai Crypt turns out to be so effective!
This is the Secret World of Fa Tian, one of the twenty-two spiritual caves most suitable for practicing retreat among the Wan Fa Jingshe. Even though it ranks low, its spiritual energy is pure and abundant, which is still several levels better than Shanmen's already excellent external environment.
While in Cliff City, Yu Ci also visited the secret cultivation places that once belonged to Bairi Mansion. They were also built on the spiritual vein crypts, but their effectiveness was worse than the air outside the Lichen Sect's mountain gate. There are deficiencies, let alone this place! No wonder Jin Huan tried his best to send his own children to the mountain gate. Regardless of the role of personal connections, these cultivation resources alone are far beyond the imagination of outsiders!
Yu Ci entered the cave for forty days this time. Now that half of it has passed, he already feels that his cultivation has improved to a new level, and his foundation for the realm of spirituality has become more solid. I really don’t know if I can occupy a place here. What will it look like in half a year?
He smiled slightly, picked up the half-open book next to him, and slowly read the words on it with the faint light of the sky.
One of the advantages of the "Xuanyuan Fundamental Qi Method" is that after the mental image is achieved, all physical and mental practice will operate spontaneously and is in line with nature. What Yu Ci has to do is just to practice the mental image based on his own cultivation progress. Make fine adjustments so you have plenty of time every day to devote to yourself.
The volume "General Theory of the Sword Sutra" in his hand contains nearly a million words. He has read it intensively and studied more than half of it in half a month. However, he has not missed his practice. Others would only envy him. .
When he read the passage in the scroll, "God makes it clear, intention makes use of it", Yu Ci was combining his own experience to comprehend it quietly, when a cold snort suddenly came from the quiet room:
"Today we, brothers, will make you convinced that you have lost!"

It's too late, it's too late...
