I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 392: Missing Three or Two Sword Scriptures

Seeing the fire monk's flattery, Xu Jia nodded.

Among these people, Heyu Langjun has handed over the sword manual and is considered a free man. Gongye Lingxue will have an older father coming soon. Shifang Little Monk has an Arhat master. Only Huogong Toudao is truly his younger brother. He has no foundation, and his life and death are in his own hands. He is the most willing to work for him wholeheartedly.

He was immediately taught the task, and was taught the "Zhu Rong Fire Qi Curse" and the method of collecting the sun's true fire, and was ordered to gather sand and burn bricks.

Brick making is not an easy task. What Xu Jia wants to make is "five-color glazed tiles".

The easiest thing to burn is naturally black glass, but this may not be the case for other colored glass as the temperature must be controlled.

However, the remaining people were not idle either. Xu Jia ordered them to plant trees.

Planting trees in the desert also requires the same technique of fire and qi, so you are never idle.

After working for a while, more flying swords flew by in the sky, but seeing the people below were in that kind of tree, they did not dare to stay for a while.

They waited until noon, when the temperature rose to the point where even the fire monk was sweating, and then they took a break.

"Gong Ye Xingyun, the Tianquan Sword of the Sword Forging Villa, is here to pay a visit!"

The sound comes first, and the sword follows.

Xu Jia looked up and saw stars in the daytime. The Tianquan star was getting brighter and brighter. Then a flying sword fell like a meteor, bringing out a long wave of air. In the wave of air was a figure, free and unrestrained. It fell with the sword, raising dust. The man emerged from the dust. He looked like a young scholar. He was wearing a light blue robe with a faint glow of stars.

Judging from his aura, he is indeed an immortal, but his power lies more in his sword, and he may not be that amazing in person.

Gongye Lingxue showed surprise: "Daddy!"

Then he looked at Xu Jia again and felt a little reluctant to go forward, after all, his father had not paid the ransom yet.

"Fellow Daoist, are you from the Yellow Lotus Sect?"

Gongye Xingyun bowed. Although he could see that Xu Jia's current cultivation level was only at the level of a human immortal refining Qi, his demeanor of unity between man and nature was even more graceful than that of an earthly immortal like himself.

"Yes and no."

Xu Jia didn't say anything like he was afraid, but instead kept his eyes fixed on the Tianquan Sword.

The sword was glittering with spots of light like fireflies. The hilt was inlaid with seven grains of star sand, of which the one representing Tianquan was the largest and as dazzling as a gem.

But what is even more amazing is the flying sword itself, which is like "a wild horse, dust, and living things blowing each other with their breath. The sky is vast, and its color is the right color." It does not have the Geng and Xin Qi of the five metals, and it is cold and clear, like stars reflected in the water. Instead, it looks like a crystal sword, or a jade sword, or even a lightsaber.

There are seven of these flying swords in the Sword Casting Villa, and they are indeed quite powerful.

Gongye Xingyun naturally saw the clue. This person did not even take him seriously and only stared at the Bingtian Quan Sword. Although he did not get angry for the moment, he was already dissatisfied in his heart and had the intention of testing him.

"My daughter may have offended you before, and I apologize. Here is 100,000 sword talisman money, and I will redeem my daughter with you."

After saying that, he threw a brocade bag, which contained the Tianquan sword energy. However, when it fell into Xu Jia's hand, it was so light that the restrained sword energy was consumed into nothingness.

With great virtue, Xu Jia cultivated the thick earth and yellow lotus true qi, which already had the meaning of "Northern Ocean true qi". All external true qi could be assimilated into "earth virtue".

When this Tianquan sword energy entered his body, Xu Jia felt familiar with it. He inexplicably thought of the time when he came back to life and Hu Jinhua took him to visit the Great Sage Beidou Qi Yuanjun.

The "Tiangang Great Sage" that he cultivated was actually the "Pojun Star", which was the outer Tiangang. The Tianquan Star, as one of the Big Dipper, was also related to the Tiangang Great Sage.

Many things can be tasted from this sword energy, but it is not enough.

So Xu Jia took the initiative to attack. In an instant, the innate murderous intent of the three elements condensed and turned evil into disaster. With a feeling of "fate", it formed a sword energy together with the yellow sand in the sky.

Gongye Xingyun only felt a chill on the back of his neck and his scalp numbed, and he couldn't help but recall the time when he had survived the "Great Tribulation of Earthly Immortals".

Although he did not carry the innate killing sword with him, Xu Jia had been pondering the innate killing intent of the three elements for a long time. The sky kills, the earth kills, and people kill. One kills two, two kills three, and three kills all things. The rolling trend of humanity is like a furnace. Who can escape the cycle of reincarnation and avoid death?

The worldly life is full of trials and tribulations, and one must endure through each tribulation to attain immortality.

When yellow sand is flying, it can be called a "yellow sand disaster".

Just like the Monkey King encountering the Great Sage Huangfeng, even though Gongye Xingyun controlled the sword energy and blocked all the sand, his eyes were still stung by the fine dust and he couldn't help shedding tears.

However, sword cultivators have always been strong. Although he is not an ordinary sword cultivator, but a sword cultivator from the Sword Casting Villa, he also has his own backbone. The stars are turning, the power of heaven is balanced, which is the way of "equality of all things". With a move of the stars turning, he transferred the yellow sand calamity energy back to Xu Jia.

The word "quan" is the weight on a scale.

The Big Dipper is like a scale, calculating life and death, fortune, wealth and longevity.

Xu Jia was not polite to him either. The thick earth true qi performed the "Netherworld Yellow Spring Road", vaguely connecting to the Dharma Realm and combining with the "Three Talents Murderous Intentions and Tribulation Qi", it meant "dying by calamity and the soul falling into the underworld".

Suddenly, the path was paved with yellow sand, and the mirage in the sand sea was so illusory that Gongye Xingyun felt as if he saw his great-grandmother coming to pick him up.

This move frightened him so much that he stepped back repeatedly, then he cupped his hands, already feeling fearful in his heart: "It seems to be from the Yellow Lotus Sect, but his methods are different. The way he uses sand is like the Sand Demon, one of the Three Demons of the Desert, but the vague murderous intent is similar to the Red Lotus Sword Intention of the Avici Sect Leader. The Yellow Spring Road just now is a bit like the Yellow Spring Guide of Little Meng Po from the Hungry Ghost Sect... I can't tell, I can't tell... But he is definitely not an expert of the righteous path, and his actions are both righteous and evil. He must be an old monster from a side sect. I don't know if he has taken over another person's body, or is using another person's body to cultivate, or is he traveling in the human world."

The more he thought about it, the less he dared to act.

Seeing that he would not make any more moves, Xu Jia said, "I don't need these sword spells and magic money. I don't like buying things. Just teach me the sword tactics and sword manuals you have collected, or the techniques of forging flying swords, and I will give it to you."

Gongye Lingxue said to her own father: "Dad, it's better to have less trouble than more..." She had some insight and saw that her father did not have the upper hand just now: "This senior didn't really make things difficult for my daughter."

"Senior, how about this? We can trade you the Sand Escape Technique. This way, we can save face and avoid a bad reputation. We can also gain the friendship of our Sword Forging Villa. The sword forging technique is top secret and difficult to pass on to others. But we do have quite a few sword techniques. If anyone wants us to forge a flying sword, we will give them to them. Although most of them are independent cultivators and we never pass them on to others, there are a few who have forged flying swords but never come to take them. Some have died, or some wanted to default on their debts but were dealt with by us. In short, we have a lot of treasures."

Gongye Xingyun also acquiesced to his daughter's worldly ways and said, "I have a sword technique that I intend to learn by analogy and create my own. This sword technique is also extraordinary. I can exchange it with you for the sand escape technique." Xu Jia also thought it was understandable and did not argue with him, "Okay, wait until I get the inheritance of the Grandmaster Dutian Liehuo, and then go to your Sword Forging Villa to learn the sword forging technique. Next time I go, I hope that Tianquan Sword Master can tell the owner of the villa about my intention after returning."

Gongye Xingyun was also startled when he heard about the Dutian Liehuo Patriarch. When he heard Xu Jia said that he wanted to go to Zhujian Villa alone, he said, "My villa is in Jishui, Luling Prefecture. If you need anything, just come."

Xu Jia thought about it, how far is Luling from the desert? It wouldn't take an earthly immortal two or three days to walk there. But when he thought that these worlds might be the branch routes of one big world among the five hundred small worlds in the Desire Realm, he didn't bother to worry about whether these worlds were scientific or logical. He just emptied his mind.

The sword technique that Gongye Xingyun comprehended is called "The Sword Sutra of Missing Three Taels". The sword technique uses a beam scale as the standard. The seven stars of the Big Dipper are seven taels, the six stars of the Southern Dipper are six taels, plus fortune, longevity and happiness, a total of sixteen taels. One tael missing means less fortune, two taels missing means less fortune, and three taels missing means less life.

The name is tricky and strange, and so is the sword manual. There are only three moves: one is called "Impermanence takes life", one is called "Paying money to buy the way", and one is called "Misfortunes never come alone".

They correspond to the missing "Fu, Lu, and Shou" respectively.

I don’t know if the person who created the sword manual was once shortchanged on the weight of vegetables he bought, and out of this murderous intent, he created these three sword techniques.

"This sword scripture is missing three taels. Although it is a fragment, the Beidou Sword Scripture in my Sword Forging Villa is actually the same in terms of style. One pound has sixteen taels, and only the Nandou and Beidou have thirteen taels left. One is for death, and the other is for life."

Gongye Xingyun said: "So I always try to figure it out in order to perfect my own sword skills."

Huogong Tou Tuo whispered, "Master, it is said that their Beidou Sword Scripture comes from Zhoutian Xingchen Sword Scripture. It is very powerful and is a sword formation technique passed down from the Heavenly Palace."

Xu Jia had read this sword manual and felt that it was treacherous, cruel, tricky and strange. When imitating the sword movement, the sword made a "woohoo" sound, like the crying of the ghost of death, the carrying of the coffin for the funeral, and the extinction of the family...

"I wonder what flying sword can match this kind of sword?" Xu Jia asked.

"Generally speaking, a Yin-attributed flying sword, like the sword intent you just used on the Yellow Springs Road, will definitely have miraculous effects if you use this sword scripture."

"I heard that the northwest of the desert is Nanjiang. In Nanjiang, there is an old demon who has a Hundred Sons Holy Infant Sword, which is forged from the skulls of 108 infants. I also heard that further into the desert, there is the Xingxiu Sea. There is an old Xingxiu Immortal who has a Corrupted Immortal Sword, which is forged from the bones of a thousand-year-old zombie. In addition, there is a Jile Temple to the west of the desert. In the temple, there is an old Jile man who forges a Jile Sword, which is forged from the mud of the Yellow Spring."

"Why don't you discuss this with them?"

Xu Jia glanced at him and saw that he seemed to be smiling. No one else dared to say anything. With these names, they probably knew what kind of people the three he mentioned were.

"It's just a side path." Xu Jia threw out the Sand Escape Jade Slip. This technique was not difficult to learn, so why not give it to him? He just wanted to see how big a scene the secret realm of the Buddhist Kingdom could create.

However, the sword force of the "Missing Three or Two Sword Scripture" is already attached to this jade slip. Although it is not the most dangerous move of the God of Death, it is the most insidious move of "paying money to buy the way", which shows that he is intolerant of others.

As the saying goes, it is easy to mess with the King of Hell, but it is hard to deal with the little ghosts. If you walk on the road to the underworld, you need to pay the little ghosts money along the way...

Of course, Xu Jia originally worked in the underworld, which really fits his identity.

Gongye Xingyun raised his sword and performed a sword flower, using the method of transforming power. He took the jade slip and scanned it with his mind, sensing the sand escape method in it, but was surprised: "Is this actually a magical power?"

Supernatural powers are more advanced than magic techniques. Magic techniques are just small techniques, while supernatural powers involve laws and principles.

But he didn't say anything, just said to his daughter: "Let's go!"

As soon as they left, Heyu Langjun also left, as he also wanted to take a look at the secret realm.

So only Monk Shifang and Monk Huogong were left.

Huogong Tou Tuo watched eagerly and thought to himself, "That's one of the Seven Swordsmen. This old guy was able to scare him away. I think the only way to stay alive is to curry favor with someone powerful." He immediately became more submissive.

The young monk Shifang also fell into deep thought.

Xu Jia said to the fire monk, "Before nightfall, you need to build a small house for one person. I will set up the rituals and invite the four spirits of heaven and earth to protect you. Draw a circle and stay here to settle down. Otherwise, the demons in the Dharma Realm will surge ten times more violently tonight."

Then he said to Shi Fang: "Your practice is not as good as your master, but you are still useful. Go find some stones, carve Buddha images and scriptures on them, and I will preside over the consecration to protect the Dharma."

Whatever Shifang wanted to say, he could only follow and do it.

Wait until dusk, when a large number of beetles will arrive, rolling dung balls. No one knows what animal's dung they are from, but the key point is that each dung ball contains seeds of desert plants.

Xu Jia instructed them to place the seeds in good places, bestow sweet rain, nurture the fertile soil, and stimulate the emergence of the Green Emperor.

But in a short while, the land expanded from two and a third acres to five acres.

Although the yellow sand is still there and there is only bustling green, it is different after all.

The temple built by the fire monk using glazed bricks is only a small temple one person tall and square. This is the limit. The Heavenly Fire Qi in his body has been completely used up and his face has turned pale.

The process of carving statues and sutras was similar for Shifang. He was even more solemn and serious. It took him two hours to make one statue, which was still relatively simple. He made two statues in total, one of the Sunlight Bodhisattva and the other of the Moonlight Bodhisattva.

The Bodhisattva of Sun and Moon Light is the assistant Bodhisattva of the Eastern Medicine Buddha. He resides in the Eastern Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli and possesses supreme luminous magical powers.

This is consistent.

Xu Jianai performed a simple ritual and summoned the four gods of the four directions and the four symbols.

As night fell, the Dharma Realm suddenly became dark. Fire Master entered the Dharma Realm and saw the sky and the earth turned dark. Yellow sand surged like a sea tide. Above the yellow sand, there were countless ferocious beasts and evil spirits, all charging towards here.

It's just that this glazed temple has a foundation in the world of the living. It is a palace of light with four doors. The four gates are guarded by the four great guards: the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird, and the Black Tortoise. There are also the two Bodhisattvas of the Sun and the Moon, emitting the great light of the sun and the moon.

For a moment it was like a pearl in the ocean.

The demons driven by the Dharma Realm charged forward, but were unable to break through the glass-like transparent glazed barrier.

On the contrary, in the ten directions within the glazed barrier, the fire monk was almost frightened to death. This was more than ten times more terrifying than what the Dharma Realm had seen in the previous two days.
