The Green Gourd Sword Fairy

"Why does he always see through my moves at critical moments?"

Liang Yan had doubts in his heart.

In the attack just now, he has been calculating for a long time, the three sword pills cooperated with each other, and the changes in the sword moves have forced the eight-armed sword monkey to a dead end.

If it is said that the eight-armed sword ape has any powerful magical power or magic weapon, and relies on pure strength to defend against his own attacks, then he has nothing to say.

But this monster ape didn't use any means, just dodged, or parried, and actually cracked all his offensives!

At this moment, a strange feeling suddenly occurred in Liang Yan's mind.

It seems that his sword moves have slowed down. Although the ultimate move is linked, but in the eyes of the opponent, there is no threat.

This monster ape has always been calm, even if it is enveloped by the sword light, there is no sense of crisis, because he knows that he can always be one step faster than Liang Yan's flying sword.

"Why is this..."

Liang Yan couldn't figure out the mystery.

In fact, his flying sword is not slow, and his opponent's speed is not that fast, but the eight-armed sword ape can always see through his own intentions in advance every time he is in danger, and then change his moves one step earlier, and finally calm down. resolve.

"Are you confused? Why is your ultimate move always one step behind me?"

Just when Liang Yan was secretly shocked, the eight-armed sword ape suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

Liang Yan raised his brows. He didn't expect that in such a life-and-death struggle, this monster ape would still have the heart to talk.

Zheng!

The two fought each other again, and then invariably distanced themselves, temporarily stopping the fight.

"I do have such doubts, are fellow Daoists willing to solve my doubts?" Liang Yan kept Jian Wan beside him, and then followed the other party's words and asked tentatively.

"Hehe, your sword moves are very good, and I have seen another style. And the reason why I can avoid all your attacks in advance is because of my ape sword heart."

"God Ape Kenshin..."

Liang Yan was slightly taken aback when he heard it, but he reacted immediately, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "You mean...you have entered the state of the sword?!"

"good!"

The eight-armed sword ape did not deny it, nodded and said: "When the Tianji Pavilion was still there, I was already a sword cultivator of the sword mental state, but unfortunately Tianji Pavilion was destroyed, and I was trapped here, after all, I couldn't bear it. The passage of time has become what it is today."

The ape's tone was very sad, with a bit of unwillingness and a bit of loneliness.

Although Liang Yan was calm on the surface, his heart was already shocked to the extreme.

This is the first time he has met the Jian Xiu of Jian Mood!

Over the years, he has been walking alone on the road of kendo. Although he has seen some amazing people, most of them are only short-lived. Looking back now, those amazing people he thought were all in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, in the ruins of Tianji Pavilion, I met a senior who was a monster and cultivated into a sword state!

In fact, Liang Yan has long seen that the strength of the eight-armed sword ape in its heyday must be higher than himself.

You must know that the most important thing for sword cultivators is the flying sword of life, which is closely related to their own lives. It can be said that most of the magical powers are on the sword.

However, the eight-armed sword ape in front of him had already destroyed his flying sword. With only eight "iron knots", he fought back and forth with him. This shows how strong the opponent was in its heyday. .

"Jian's state of mind...Although Liang has reached the stage of Jianying, he still hasn't touched the threshold of this realm. He always feels elusive and elusive..." Liang Yan shook his head and muttered. murmured.

"That's because you haven't realized your own way." The eight-armed sword monkey smiled slightly: "If I read it right, you should have learned more than one kendo technique, and these kendo techniques are not weak?"

"How do you know?" Liang Yan raised his eyebrows, a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"Hehe, you don't have to be surprised. When you reach the state of Jian's mind, you can be like me."

When the eight-armed sword ape said this, his smile suddenly stopped, and his face became serious. "Although you have learned a lot, other people's is someone else's after all. If you don't realize your own swordsmanship, you can only stop here in the end!"

"What did you say? Your own kendo?"

"Yes, it's the sword 'dao', not the sword 'shu'!" The eight-armed sword ape replied seriously.

This statement made Liang Yan's heart move.

He had also seen similar records in "Fish and Dragon Dance", but this sword technique was unfathomable, and the further back he went, the harder it was for him to understand. To this day, through the guidance of the eight-armed sword ape, he has a faint understanding.

"The way of the sword is different from the ten thousand ways, and it is not among the three thousand avenues. How to find it?" Liang Yancheng asked sincerely.

After hearing this, the eight-armed sword ape smiled slightly: "The so-called 'from the beginning of the sea, the sword is born!', the sword is the extreme of the way. If you want to find the way of the sword, it is not in the outside world, but in your heart. Real people self-cultivation, gods and human beings are in harmony! And the sword state of mind is the first step to aligning with the 'Dao'!"

"Want to find the sword 'Dao', in my heart?"

Liang Yan was slightly moved, and suddenly realized something in his heart.

"hehe, not bad!"

Seeing Liang Yan's reaction, there was a hint of relief on his face.

Next, his voice sounded again, and in the empty room, it seemed a little ethereal.

"Three thousand avenues, the gate of all wonders, in fact, all beings in the world are tireless, and the truths of the avenues that they seek to explore all originate from the mysteries of the universe, but only the way of swordsmanship is different!"

Speaking of this, the eight-armed sword ape narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Liang Yan, and said slowly: "The swordsmanship we are waiting for is not to explore any law in the world, but to explore yourself. Wait until you reach that level. , you will find that you are the universe itself, the three thousand laws are just the dust in your universe, if you want, a willow branch can break all the laws!"

"I am the universe?"

When Liang Yan heard this, what he had already comprehended suddenly became illusory again, and his eyes became confused again.

"It seems that it's too early to tell you this..." The eight-armed sword ape shook his head and sighed when he saw his expression.

"Forget it, you just need to know that 'sword' is just an appearance, and 'shu' is just a means. The most fundamental difference between kendo and other avenues is actually the direction of exploration."

After listening to the words of the eight-armed sword ape, Liang Yan suddenly thought of something, and his face showed a thoughtful look.

"The three thousand avenues are not connected with each other. For example, the four major lineages of human origin cannot be cultivated at the same time under normal circumstances. However, no matter which cultivator of Buddha, Demon, Taoism, or Confucianism, they can practice kendo, is it because of this reason? "

"Not bad! Your kid understands it very quickly!"

The eight-armed sword ape suddenly laughed: "No matter what school or faction you are, you can practice kendo, because kendo does not belong to any law in this world, but a way to control yourself."

"I see.........."

Liang Yan murmured, his eyes were a little erratic, and he seemed to fall into his own epiphany.

Although there are not many things the monster said, and it sounds very simple, only the sword cultivator who has truly practiced kendo and has reached the level of Liang Yan can understand a hint of the wonder of the avenue.

It was as if in the chaotic abyss, a faint ray of dawn shone in!

This kind of epiphany is extremely rare, and it cannot be disturbed. If the eight-armed sword ape attacks at this time, Liang Yan will fall short.

Unexpectedly, however, the eight-armed sword ape did not attack Liang Yan, but sat cross-legged on the spot, looking like it was waiting for him.

After a long time, Liang Yan's erratic eyes gradually returned to clarity.

He looked at the demon ape in front of him, suddenly stood up, and slammed the other side to the ground.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior..."

By now, Liang Yan had been able to confirm that the eight-armed sword ape didn't want to be his enemy. If it was going to be detrimental to him, he could have made a move just now, and he would not have given himself a chance to have an epiphany.

"It seems you understand a lot."

The eight-armed sword ape accepted him calmly, with a smile on his face.

"I just realized a little bit of fur. On this foggy road, I saw a little bit of direction." Liang Yan replied truthfully.

"It's good to have a direction..."

The eight-armed sword ape smiled and nodded, and was about to say something, but suddenly coughed violently.

"Cough! Cough!"

The hands of the eight-armed sword ape covered its mouth, the severe pain distorted its face, and the powerful sword intent could not suppress the injury in the body, as if a man who was about to die, forced himself to hold on for the last time.

Liang Yan did not expect such a serious injury in the body of the eight-armed sword ape, and he didn't even notice it when he shot it just now!

Taking a closer look, there was actually a black liquid flowing out of the gap between the fingers that the monster ape used to cover its mouth, and this liquid had been seen in the previous rooms.

Five-colored peacocks, double-faced ghost vultures, fish-scale beasts, and demonic wind scorpions, these monsters that are like corpses all have this mysterious black liquid in their bodies.

"Senior Sword Ape, you..."

Liang Yan's eyes showed concern, but before he could finish his words, the eight-armed sword ape waved his hand and said slowly: "I can't hold it anymore, we don't have much time left... …”

"What is 'it'?" Liang Yan raised his brows and immediately asked.

"For us monsters who should have died a long time ago...'it' is the holy water from the top floor." Said the eight-armed sword ape, shook his head, with a wry smile on his face color.

"Holy water? Is it because you drank this thing that you have been alive until now?" Liang Yan seemed to understand a little.

"good........"

As if thinking of the past, there was a pain in the eyes of the eight-armed sword ape.

"After the Tianji Pavilion was destroyed, the soul cards of us monsters were locked on the fifth floor, and there was no way to escape the Thousand Machines Pagoda, so we could only be trapped here."

"Everyone is desperate about this matter, and as time goes by, some monsters with insufficient realm begin to die one after another, until one day, a mysterious black water flows down from the fifth floor, completely changing the environment here. everything........."

Seeing that the eight-armed sword ape was finally willing to reveal the secrets of this layer, Liang Yan's eyes became serious.

"...At that time, there was a demon clan who was about to die, but under the misunderstanding, it drank this mysterious black water and immediately regained its vitality. And add infinite life to yourself."

"After the news came out, all the monsters were crazy about it, they called this black water 'painted moon water', 'painted moon' means 'eternity' in our monster clan, and it is also called by monsters It is 'holy water', in short, in order to prolong life, many monsters have drank this black water that flows down from the upper layer, even me......"

Speaking of this, the eight-armed sword ape sighed softly and said, "Even me is no exception."

After listening to what Liang Yan said, combined with what he had seen before, he was already able to guess something faintly.

After a moment of silence, Liang Yan said slowly, "What will happen after drinking this kind of water?"

"I will lose myself."

The eight-armed sword ape closed his eyes, as if remorse.

"Although painted moon water can increase longevity, there is a power in the water that we cannot control. Soon after drinking painted moon water, many monsters have changed, as if they have become some unknown marionettes. Start frantically attacking those demon clan who haven't drank the 'Moon Painted Water'."

"I witnessed all of this with my own eyes, watching my former friends turn into walking corpses, and I can't let go of that feeling now..."

"But I know that I will be like them after all... Sure enough! It didn't take long for me to feel a force resuscitating within me, it wanted to replace me, I am not immortal, I am just it a container!"

"Fortunately, I have already cultivated Kenshin. At the critical moment, it was my 'Sacred Ape Kenshin' that kept me awake, and it has been helping me suppress the monsters in my body all these years... It's just that every once in a while, I still go crazy and become unable to control myself, in order to prevent myself from becoming a wanton butcher, I took the initiative to destroy my own flying sword and imprisoned myself here."

After the speech of the eight-armed sword ape, Liang Yan's heart was shocked to the extreme.

Because the content of his words is too bizarre, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Liang Yan would never have believed it.

"Painting Moon Water...Infinite Lifespan...Container."

Liang Yan quickly digested the information revealed by the eight-armed sword ape, and suddenly felt that the danger of the Thousand Machines Pagoda had far exceeded his imagination.

Looking back now, the top ten talents are willing to enter this place, they are really ignorant and fearless......

The eight-armed sword ape glanced at him, seemed to have guessed his inner thoughts, shook his head and said: "It's useless, after entering this floor, you can't turn back, you can only enter from the fourth floor, and if you think about it, you can't go back. To leave here, you must pass the guard on the fifth floor. That guard is selfless, even if the Tianji Pavilion is destroyed, it is still performing its duties, and it is almost impossible to defeat him."

"I can't look back anymore..." Liang Yan murmured.

In fact, he had long expected that this layer was a huge maze, and it was constantly changing, and there was no way back.

The "prison of beasts" is the "prison" of monsters, and it is also the "prison" of their intruders.

"In this way, I only have one way to go, and that is to defeat the guards on the fifth floor!" Liang Yan did not panic because of this, but became more determined.

"Well, this is the only way you can save yourself, I hope you can do it."

The eight-armed sword monkey nodded, and then continued: "But before that, I will use my last time to show you the mystery of Jian's state of mind."

As soon as the voice fell, the monster ape's eyes were wide open, and a powerful spiritual power burst out from its body, and it came to Liang Yan in an instant.

Although Liang Yan was a little surprised, he quickly realized that the other party was not malicious, but had something to show him.

After realizing the intention of the monster ape, Liang Yan also closed his eyes, silently let go of his spiritual sense, and entered the spiritual sense of the monster ape......

Tick!

A drop of water fell in the river, causing ripples, and the two people were reflected in the ripples, it was Liang Yan and the eight-armed sword ape.

"This is my Jianxin world." The eight-armed sword ape said slowly.

Liang Yan nodded silently, looked around, and saw a vast expanse of heaven and earth, and everything was exceptionally clear, ranging from mountains and rivers to small textures on flowers, plants and trees, everything could be seen clearly.

"Look there."

The eight-armed sword ape spoke again, but his fingers pointed to the river under the two of them.

Liang Yan looked in the direction he pointed, and found that under the calm water of the river, there were blisters of different sizes, and the inside of one of the blisters actually reflected himself.

"what?"

There was a hint of interest on Liang Yan's face, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked carefully at the inside of the blisters.

There is not only him, but also the eight-armed sword ape.

One person and one demon fought fiercely, and the moves they used were very familiar, which was clearly the replay of the sword fight between the two sides just now.

At that time, he had completely suppressed the eight-armed sword ape, and the three sword pills were brushed out at the same time, attacking the opponent's three flaws, which can be said to be a mortal situation.

But then, the eight-armed sword ape calmly cracked his ultimate move.

Liang Yan now looks at it from the perspective of a monster, and finds that his moves are surprisingly slow, so slow that just raising his hand, it seems like a cup of tea.

It is also for this reason that from the moment Liang Yan raised his hand, the Eight-armed Sword Ape already knew how he was going to move and move his sword.

"This is your ape Jianxin?" Liang Yan seemed to understand something.

"Yes, it seems that you have already understood that 'God Ape Jianxin' can slow down the opponent's movements, see the movement of spiritual power clearly, and allow me to counterattack in the shortest time possible."

"Slow down the opponent's movements and see the movement of spiritual power...Is this the mystery of Jian's state of mind?" Liang Yan's eyes showed a hint of envy.

The power of Kenshin is really extraordinary. Just now, the eight-armed sword ape has completely seen its own moves, but it is seriously injured, and there is no flying sword in hand. If there is a flying sword in hand, it may have already killed itself several times. .

Looking at the faint envy in Liang Yan's eyes, the eight-armed sword ape shook his head and said slowly: "'The Sword of the God Ape' is just the sword heart of our eight-armed sword ape family. After your human cultivator breaks through , the sword hearts obtained are different, there are more than one kind of sword hearts stronger than my family, the key depends on how you understand the Tao."

This was the first time Liang Yan heard this statement, so he couldn't help asking: "Is everyone's swordsman different? So how many types of swordsman are there in total? Which one is the strongest?"

"Your question has stumped me..." The eight-armed sword ape smiled and said, "Kendo is a method that has almost been lost, and sword cultivators who can cultivate to the state of the sword are even rarer. , I have only seen two people in my life, old ape, their sword hearts are: 'Moving Sword Heart' and 'Transparent Sword Heart', as for the others, I don't know."

When Liang Yan heard the words of the eight-armed sword ape, he was also deeply moved and nodded slightly.

Looking back on the past, since he practiced swordsmanship, he has encountered very few swordsmen. At the beginning, when you were in the two realms of building foundation and gathering yuan, you could still meet some so-called "pride of the sky" and "genius of swordsmanship", but after arriving at the golden core and the Xuanxuan realm, the sword cultivators you encountered were just a handful. It can be counted, and in the future, the sword cultivator in the transformation realm has never met up to now.

Of course, the eight-armed sword ape in front of you can be counted as one. It's a pity that its original flying sword has been destroyed, and there are extremely serious injuries in its body. I am afraid that it will not be able to exert one-tenth of the power of its heyday.

Therefore, he has always been alone in the way of kendo. If it weren't for a coincidence, he obtained the secret book of the senior sword cultivator.

"The human race is vast, and there are many masters! I believe that there are many kendo masters in this world. Just in this Antarctic Xianzhou, I don't know how many kinds of swordsman exist. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Liang Yan said own opinion.

"Maybe." The eight-armed sword ape shrugged, and said indifferently: "How many years have I been imprisoned here, old ape, I can't remember it myself. What's the matter?"

"Hey, off topic!"

The eight-armed sword ape suddenly remembered something, reached out and patted his forehead, and said with a serious face:

"Bring you to my Jianxin world, not only to let you experience the mystery of Jianxin state in advance, but also to warn you that entrusting multiple flying swords will cause Jianxin to collapse, and when you break through the sword state of mind in the future, you will definitely go crazy. The only one The solution is to keep only one of the flying swords from now on, and discard all the other flying swords!"

"What did you say?" Liang Yan's expression changed slightly after hearing this.

He practiced the "Swordless Sword Sutra" and was able to control multiple natal flying swords. It has always been a powerful killing move, but today someone told him that if he wanted to go one step further, he had to abandon most of the flying swords.

Although he was reluctant to believe this fact, by observing the Sword Heart world of the eight-armed sword ape, Liang Yan could faintly feel that the other party did not lie to him.

The reason why this demon ape brought himself here is to tell himself this truth.

Liang Yan's heart was full of contradictions. The flying swords in the Taixu gourd, whether they were the Zilei Tianyin Sword, the Black Lotus Sword or the Dingguang Sword, were all carefully refined by himself. unwilling.

Moreover, after cultivating the "No Phase Sword Sutra for so many years, Liang Yan has long been accustomed to controlling multiple flying swords at the same time. When the four sword pills are combined together, the power exerted is more than multiplied?

Now asking him to give up three of the sword pills is tantamount to cutting off his arms!

"Is there no other way?" Liang Yan asked reluctantly.
