Hidden Corners

"Hold the sword steadily and keep your mind calm. What you are practicing is the basic introductory sword technique of our sect - the hookah sword technique. This is the simplest sword technique most suitable for adapting to the faceless sword technique. It is also extremely suitable for beginners."

At this time, in the corner of the Faceless Dojo, there was a big green pine tree.

A row of children and teenagers under the age of ten were correcting their movements one by one under the guidance of a young man with long hair in a green shirt.

The young man has a handsome appearance, his eyes shine like stars, and his brows always seem to be smiling.

He is Huo Qingkong, the first genius of the Faceless Sword Sect.

It was also the guy that Li Chengyi suspected of being the future faceless scholar.

It's just that this guy has a gentle personality, respects his teachers, and cares for his juniors. The whole sect has a good reputation for him.

Li Chengyi thought it was just a disguise at first, but later found out that this was other people's nature.

Because he, the Flower of Evil, could sense evil thoughts at any time, but Huo Qingkong never felt it even once.

Even Yunchen would have angry and evil thoughts sometimes when he was in a bad mood.

But Huo Qingkong didn't.

Not at all.

Huo Qingkong is still extremely patient when teaching a group of children who know nothing. He seems to like being with children very much.

"Come on, take a rest. This is the candied haws I bought for you. It's made with hawthorn and apple~" Huo Qingkong and other children were staggering around with wooden swords. When they were tired from practicing, they grabbed it from behind with their backhand and took out a sword. Plenty of candied haws.

Hey!

Immediately, a group of children rushed over happily. Only Li Chengyi and another little fat girl stayed where they were, quietly appreciating the essence of the swordsmanship just now.

Li Chengyi is looking at Huo Qingkong, and the little fat girl is looking at Li Chengyi.

However, the former is an observation look, and the latter is a unwilling look.

When Li Chengyi noticed someone staring at him and turned around to look, the little fat girl snorted coldly and turned her head away.

Her name was Zhaoyuan. When she went up the mountain, her name disappeared, just like Li Chengyi's name is Bailu now.

Only Huo Qingkong is different. His nickname is Qingkong, but this is taken from his real name. You can see the special treatment.

"Bailu, Zhaoyuan, why don't you do it?" At this time, all the candied haws had been divided, and Qingkong looked at the last two children.

One of the two was the adopted son of Elder Kui Ling, and the other was the disciple of Elder Mu Ling. They both had similar identities and qualifications, and both learned basic swordsmanship very quickly.

There is a vague sense of competition.

Huo Qingkong looked a little amused.

The white deer has a cute appearance and slightly raised antlers, which always makes people want to touch it.

Zhaoyuan is a chubby girl with a chubby face and a swaying look when she walks, which makes her even more adorable.

Teachers will always favor the students with the best talents and the best grades. If there is a bonus to appearance, this preference will be even more obvious.

The same goes for clear skies.

He took the candied haws and walked up to the two children.

"What, you don't like candied haws?"

"It's okay." Li Chengyi said.

"I don't like it!" Zhaoyuan responded simply and coldly, imitating Li Chengyi.

"So... what about this?"

Qingkong smiled slightly, stretched his hand behind him, and when he took it out again, he found two fluorescent blue crystal stones in his hand.

"Do you like this? This is a pure heart stone that can improve your consciousness and eliminate distracting thoughts."

He split the Pure Heart Stone into two pieces and handed them to the two of them respectively.

"Come on, let's go together. Using it will make it easier for your mind to think about and understand the swordsmanship, and it can replenish your consumed mind."

He really likes the two cute children, although he himself is not very big.

These two pure heart stones are actually resources dug out from his own practice share.

For sects like the Faceless Sword Sect that place great emphasis on the cultivation of consciousness and mind, the price of such resources is extremely high. An ordinary disciple can earn the value of a few such pure heart stones through a year's hard work.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qingkong!" Li Chengyi's eyes lit up and he quickly took it.

He also discovered that the practice here in the Faceless Sword Sect is almost all based on consciousness, and physical fitness is only incidental.

What is pursued here is to cultivate consciousness to the realm of the Holy Spirit of Heaven, and the physical body is just a dispensable thing.

"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Zhaoyuan also quickly took the Pure Heart Stone.

Feeling Li Chengyi's strength when he took away the crystal, Qingkong glanced at him in surprise.

"Bailu's strength is really strong, but you must not neglect the cultivation of the mind just because of the strength. The main purpose of our sect is the cultivation of the mind. The physical body is all false and a flawless ship. As long as the mind is still there, the physical body will be You can get up again at any time.”

He taught carefully.

"Yes, Bailu has learned a lesson." Li Chengyi nodded seriously.

He has also discovered now that all the disciples in this place do not pay attention to physical training and only focus on the cultivation of skills.

"You two have laid a good foundation. I will have to participate in the Four Sects Competition in a while. I may not be able to see you. Remember not to be lazy when you are in the mountains." Huo Qingkong said with a smile.

The aura on his body was vague, just a trace of it escaped, which made Li Chengyi feel a little scared.

Huo Qingkong was only eleven years old at this time, but the aura escaping alone gave him the feeling of a double-printed Yin Shen.

Eleven-year-old Yin Shen

Tsk tsk

This kind of talent is really terrifying to the extreme.

Thinking that in the future, he might be the predecessor of the Faceless Scholar, Li Chengyi felt a hint of gloom in his heart.

During these days in the sect, he was basically certain that Huo Qingkong was the future faceless scholar.

He also secretly went to Huo Qingkong's residence to observe, the same cabin he had explored originally.

Because he was so talented, the sect allowed Qingkong to live alone near the edge of the main hall to avoid being influenced by others and live alone to practice hard.

And that cabin actually has a special function, it can purify the mind and make people more focused.

Saying goodbye to Qingkong, Li Chengyi and Zhaoyuan Xiaochuangniu returned to the attic of their residence.

Taoist Kuiling was already sitting in front of the attic window, sewing something.

When she saw Li Chengyi coming back, she dodged, suddenly teleported and appeared below the attic, and hugged Li Chengyi gently.

"You're back? Have you made any progress today? I heard from Junior Nephew Qingkong that you made rapid progress."

The waves suddenly surrounded Li Chengyi. He reluctantly raised his head and tried to break free.

But despite Kui Ling's slender body, she is extremely powerful.

To be precise, none of these experts from the Sword Sect living in seclusion in the mountains is physically weak. Even if their major is just mind consciousness.

With tens of tons of strength in one hand, he forcibly pulled Li Chengyi into his arms and back.

Although Li Chengyi's strength far exceeds this level, he is still only an eight or nine-year-old child.

If he uses hundreds or thousands of tons of force, it will be too easy to reveal his unknown origin.

So he could only resist, and was hugged tightly by Kui Ling, who nervously listened to a baby song that the other party had learned from somewhere.

"Okay, all the fatigue and worries are gone." Kui Ling kissed Li Chengyi's antlers lovingly.

Fly your sister, fly!

Li Chengyi felt helpless.

After getting along for a long time, he vaguely felt that Kui Ling seemed to have some mental problems.

To be precise, not only her, but the entire Faceless Sword Sect seems to have similar problems.

Emotions rise and fall.

And when it comes to anything, once the goal is determined, there will be some paranoia.

He wasn't sure why, but it was particularly obvious from Kui Ling.

"Come on, Yun Chen and Tie Zhou went out to find materials for a long time. I sewed for a long time before I finished it for you."

Kui Ling hugged Li Chengyi, turned around, and suddenly teleported back to the second floor of the attic.

She picked up a sky blue silver thread purse on the table and happily placed it in Li Chengyi's hand.

"check it out."

"What is this? Mother?" Li Chengyi has long been shameless now. He just needs to get used to calling her names.

"Well, have you noticed that although our sect is called the Sword Sect, no one has a sword on them?" Kui Ling hugged Li Chengyi and put him on his lap and said softly.

"It's true." Li Chengyi recalled that it was true that the low-level disciples were carrying swords, but the deacons, elders and others had never seen them carrying swords.

"That's the reason." Kui Ling tapped her purse gently, with a hint of tenderness in her beautiful eyes.

"This is the Sword Raising Pouch. This is one of the reasons why the Faceless Sword Art is so powerful. The Sword Raising Art included in the Sword Art can turn any ordinary sword into a magical weapon. The Sword Raising Pouch is Something to hide and raise the sword.”

"Is this for me?" Li Chengyi suddenly opened his eyes.

"Of course it's for you. This is a special sword pouch I made with my own hair. No matter where you are, if you encounter danger, I can sense the direction through this thing and come to the rescue quickly." Kui Ling said seriously road.

"Mother! I love you so much!!" Li Chengyi had a look of surprise on his face.

Ugh. I almost vomited myself.

Although he felt sick when he screamed, this was the first time he had seen such a treasure similar to a space bag. The joy in my heart is real.

"Come on, let mother rub her face!" When Kui Ling saw this, she immediately felt maternal, hugging him and rubbing her face randomly.

After rubbing Li Chengyi's cheeks until they were red and almost swollen, she let go.

"Okay, everyone, calm down." Kui Ling straightened her hanging hair.

Li Chengyi is obviously very calm, but she is the one who is not calm...

"The use of this sword-raising pouch is very simple. You have mastered the introductory sword skills. Next, you will start to formally learn the Faceless Sword Art. The first step in the sword art is to have the sword-raising art. Then you will be able to earn as much as you want. A sword to keep.”

"There is no limit to the choice of sword blades, but it is best to use a hard and durable material. You can try it with an ordinary sword blade first. Raising a sword consumes the consciousness and mind you have cultivated. It is also called spiritual mind, so when you find the mind When you are tired and unable to maintain, you must not persist, otherwise you may lose consciousness, become comatose and get injured.”

Kui Ling warned carefully.

While Li Chengyi nodded, he couldn't help but think of the sword blades he could warm up.

The large number of golden swords of the Flower-scaled Gladiolus can be used, as well as the summoned disposable magic sword of evil thoughts - Yinglong Sword.

It should be fine.

Especially the Yinglong Sword, its power is far beyond use now, but the sword itself is still good. Simply looking at the blade itself, it can be considered a magical weapon.

If it can be warmed and nourished, its power will be enhanced.

There is also the golden sword in Gladiolus Flower Scale Clothes, which can increase in hardness and strength according to one's physical fitness. It may be better as a sword-raising body.

"Remember, each sword pouch can only hold one sword. You can only choose the next one after the previous one is damaged. And if the blade is damaged, your mind will be damaged. Be careful." Kui Ling's warning sounded again.
