Chapter 6: The Sword Testing Stone
... ...
Behind the Zhongnan Mountain lies an ancient tomb, built by Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen School, to resist the Jurchen invaders. After the defeat of the righteous army, Wang Chongyang, in his anger, took residence in the tomb
However, you still lack some experience! After knocking the long sword from Yang Guo's hand, Xiao Tian retrieved the flower branch in his hand and said with a smile: "Your mastery of this sword technique is now considered perfect, but unfortunately, you lack experience in combat. I have found a stone for you to test your sword skills. If you can defeat her, I will teach you another technique!"
Li Mochou! Master, considering our past as teacher and disciple, only expelled you from the ancient tomb. I never expected that you would still harbor treacherous intentions, returning to seize the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra and the illustrations.
How beautiful... Yang Guo, who was hiding in the shadows, was still young. Upon seeing this woman for the first time, he couldn't help but be momentarily entranced, softly exclaiming in admiration.
Half a month later, on the back mountain of Zhongnan Mountain, two figures stood in an open area. On the left, one person wore a moon-white long robe, holding a branch of flowers in hand, with a gentle smile on their face
Yang Guo hurriedly followed.
Please take a look, senior! Yang Guo's expression became serious as he gently raised his long sword, instantly transforming his entire demeanor into one of sharpness
The person on the right appears somewhat slender, holding a long sword in hand, and respectfully gazes at the individual on the left.
Having spoken, the longsword in hand shimmered like flowing light as it thrust directly towards Xiao Tian, while the tip of the sword trembled incessantly, subtly enveloping the vital points around Xiao Tian!
Yang Guo's wrist went numb, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground
Xiao Tian gently nodded, truly worthy of Yang Guo; his comprehension is indeed remarkable. On that day, he merely demonstrated it once and then provided Yang Guo with a few pointers. Unexpectedly, just half a month later, Yang Guo was able to master this sword technique to the point of being proficient in it
The girl, clad in a thin white garment, appeared as if she were enveloped in smoke and mist. She seemed to be around sixteen or seventeen years old. Apart from her head of black hair, her entire body was snow-white, and her features were exceptionally beautiful. However, the lack of color in her complexion made her look unusually pale.
Follow me! After Xiao Tian finished speaking, he quickly walked towards the ancient tomb in the back mountain
As soon as the words were spoken, several intricately engraved silver needles shot out from her fingertips, flying straight towards the place where Yang Guo was hiding
Who? The voice of Yang Guo, though soft, was heard by another woman dressed as a Taoist priestess, who had bright eyes and white teeth. She immediately responded with a cold snort.
The Tomb of the Living Dead has also become a forbidden area for the Quanzhen Sect, but today the silence of this forbidden place has been disrupted by the arrival of several uninvited guests
"The Red Lotus Fairy, Li Mochou, how imposing!" Xiao Tian's figure appeared beside a large tree near where Yang Guo was hiding. He casually broke off a branch and tossed it to Yang Guo, saying with a smile, "Kid, this Daoist nun is the test stone I found for you. Defeat her, and I will teach you another skill!"
The heroine Lin Chaoying was deeply in love with him, lamenting that his remarkable skills were buried in the grave. Thus, she employed a strategy of provocation to lure him out of the stone tomb, and the two joined hands to venture into the martial world together
"Young man, it has already been half a month. How have you comprehended the sword technique I taught you back then?" Under the moonlight, Xiao Tian looked at the spirited Yang Guo and said with a smile
"Do not interfere with the books!" Xiao Tian praised, then slightly lifted the flower branch in his hand. The tip of the flower branch trembled, passing through Yang Guo's sword intent, and struck the acupoint on his hand.
"Senior Sister, you have truly become obsessed!" The woman in white gently reprimanded, and as she spoke, a white silk ribbon entwined with golden bells flew out from her sleeve, blocking Yang Guo's path and deflecting the silver needles.
In the open space outside the ancient tomb, two women stood facing each other, one of whom spoke out sharply.
However, due to his inner turmoil, Wang Chongyang pretended to be unaware of his deep affection for Lin Chaoying. Lin Chaoying believed that Wang Chongyang looked down on her, and ultimately, they fought at Zhongnan Mountain to determine the victor. Using clever tactics, she won the wager of the stone tomb. From then on, she resided in the tomb and never emerged again.
