Start practicing from Mr. Fox

Chapter 43 Golden Sword
Chen Ji had an idea and took a step forward.

The nightmare tapir skin in his hand swirled and flew up, protecting his transparent soul like a cloak.

Then he slipped into Yan Chixia's dream.

Everything went dark before his eyes, revealing the scenery in his dream.

Ancient pines, ancient temples, and a waning moon.

Yan Chixia, dressed in Confucian robes, danced with a sword in the courtyard. He was as graceful as a dragon, and his sword was so powerful that it pierced the clouds and penetrated the sun.

Chen Ji was hanging high in the sky, overlooking Yan Chixia practicing swordsmanship, and he felt more and more the mystery of this dream-entering technique.

He can actually enter other people's most private places and spy on their secrets without them noticing.

I'm afraid Yan Chixia doesn't even know that he has entered his dream at this moment.

Then look down at yourself again.

Although he was wearing the skin of a nightmare tapir, it seemed as if he was wearing nothing at all, as invisible and formless as the breeze.

But Chen Ji knew it clearly.

As long as you want, you can immediately have a physical form and change it at will.

I just don't know whether this is an ability brought by the dream tapir or the ability of entering dreams itself.

Chen Ji tried changing his shape in the air for a while, like a little kid who got a new toy and couldn't stop.

After a long while, he was still trying to change his appearance, but he noticed that Yan Chixia had stopped below.

He put the sword aside, as if his sword practice was over.

"It's time to go say hello to Fellow Daoist Yan."

Chen Ji was thinking about how to go on, but he saw Yan Chixia took out a stack of talismans, his eyes were sharp, and he was muttering something.

"Xuanzong of Heaven and Earth, Wan Qi's roots..."

Chen Ji realized that he was chanting the Golden Light Mantra.

This is a Taoist technique that is widely spread in this world.

It can protect yourself and also ward off evil spirits.

Chen Ji had seen it several times in Fox's cultivation books and had some impression of it, but this was the first time he saw someone using it.

At this moment, Yan Chixia chanted a spell, and the talisman in his hand turned into golden light, emitting a murderous aura. He condensed it in his palm but did not throw it out. Instead, he drew his sword with his backhand and used the sword technique again.

"Zhi!"

Chen Ji suddenly heard the sound of metal clashing.

Looking at the sword in Yan Chixia's hand, it was already coated with a layer of golden light, exactly the same as the golden light spell just now.

It’s indeed a good method.

Simple swordsmanship has very little killing power against evil spirits such as demons and ghosts. If it is blessed by the Golden Light Curse, it will indeed be much better.

It seems that Yan Chixia's swordsmanship is becoming more and more stable.

After watching for a while, Yan Chixia finished practicing swordsmanship.

Chen Ji simply transformed into Lu Pan and descended from the clouds, clapping his hands in praise.

"Good swordsmanship!"

"I just heard that Fellow Daoist Chixia was practicing the Talisman Sword. I was still wondering how he performed it, but I didn't expect it to be so exciting."

"When did Lu Pan come here?"

"From the moment you took out the golden talisman."

"So early?"

Yan Chixia's face was full of surprise, and his expression became more serious as he thought about what had just happened.

"This dream-entering technique is truly incredibly strange. I didn't even notice Lu Pan coming. If Lu Pan is an enemy, not a friend, then this is dangerous."

"You haven't noticed anything now? Did you find anything unusual when you were at the banquet just now?"

Chen Ji asked with a smile.

Anyway, he didn't notice anything wrong during his sleep and almost thought he was in the underworld when he woke up.

I guess Yan Chixia should be the same.

Sure enough, Yan Chixia stood there in a daze, shaking his head in shame.

“None.”

"In that case, I'm not as good as the little fox that Daoist Chen brought. I knew it was a dream the moment I arrived."

"Bai Nineteen? He is indeed gifted!"

Chen Ji thought about it and nodded.

I am not as good as her.

As expected of a fox that made both Miss Bai and Lu Pan feel that it had the talent to cultivate dreams, its ability to perceive dreams was indeed powerful.

Although he was afraid of Lu Pan and Yan Chixia, he still said it was a scary dream.

Yan Chixia asked again after sighing.

"Lu Pan, if we can't tell this is a dream, how can we prevent it?"

"fencing……"

After Yan Chixia finished speaking, he thought of something and frowned.

"Why hasn't Fellow Daoist Chen entered the dream yet? Could it be that he's not good at dream marriage either?"

Yan Chixia was so serious that Chen Ji felt a little embarrassed and bowed.

"Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Yan."

"Why did Judge Lu perform such a grand ceremony?"

Yan Chixia was confused.

Chen Ji then realized that he hadn't regained his original appearance, so he stood up, wiped his face, and revealed his original appearance. "Friend Yan, I'm not Lu Pan!"

"This...you...Fellow Daoist Chen?"

Yan Chixia opened his mouth wide, somewhat unable to believe it. After a pause, he suddenly screamed.

"You actually succeeded?"

"It was a lucky success. I have to rely on the Night Tapir Skin given by Lu Pan to cover up my popularity."

"That's also your ability!"

Yan Chixia clicked his tongue and looked at Chen Ji seriously.

"Although the Dream Tapir is rare, the fact that Lu Pan was able to produce it shows that it is not a valuable treasure."

"If a dream tapir's flesh, blood, bones, and skin possess such talent, then who knows how many people in the world can enter dreams."

"But fellow Daoist mastered the dream technique just before the banquet, and he already mastered it after drinking a glass of wine. This kind of talent is something I cannot envy. It's really..."

Yan Chixia suddenly fell silent.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, why don't you say anything?"

"I'm ashamed. I just thought you didn't have this talent. Now it seems that I underestimated you. It seems that I wasn't upright enough."

"That's not it!"

Chen Ji quickly shook his head.

"I didn't expect to succeed on my first try. It must be because I saw Bai Shijiu's dreaming process that I gained some insights. The method Lu Pan gave me is suitable for beginners."

"Fellow Daoist, you are still too modest!"

Yan Chixia shook his head.

"But that's all right. Talented practitioners are as numerous as the sea, and even the demons, ghosts, and evil spirits are just as despicable. What you're doing is like a gentleman hiding his talent, waiting for the right time to act. If the opportunity arises, he will surely soar to the sky."

"Soaring into the sky?"

Chen Ji thought about it, but didn't think about what he must do.

It seems like I can practice a lot and it’s nice to stay with the fox.

As for really going out and taking a look, there doesn't seem to be a rush.

"Will not."

Yan Chixia shook his head.

"A dazzling figure like you, fellow Daoist, has already attracted the attention of the fox demon and Lu Pan since he first entered the Dao, and even made the old temple master look at you with a twinkle in his eye. He will definitely not be forgotten."

"Even if I live in seclusion in the mountains for a short time with the fox demon, I am only gathering strength and hiding my weapons. I will definitely act when the time is right."

"Anyway, it's a beautiful blessing. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yan."

Chen Ji bowed.

"Since we don't know how to defend ourselves, why don't we try to break it? I just saw Fellow Daoist Yan use the Golden Light Spell Sword, and I found it quite novel. It's different from the techniques I've seen before."

"Then try it!"

After hearing this, Yan Chixia no longer worried about the future.

We can talk about future events later; the most important thing now is to test the sword.

"I wonder what you think is the appropriate way to try it?"

Yan Chixia raised his sword and spoke slowly.

"I don't know any other methods, but just now Bai Shijiu came into my dream and said that he sent me out because he found a flaw in the dream."

"She said that dreams with flaws can't last long."

"I believe that if Daoist Fellow can make the Talisman Sword create some unusual movements, a flaw can be revealed."

After Chen Ji finished speaking, Yan Chixia fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he stood up with his sword in hand.

"Then I understand. Please cooperate with me and give it a try."

"How to try?"

"Can you become the grandmother of Lanruo Temple?"

The sword in Yan Chixia's hand emitted golden light, and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Why this?"

"Fellow Daoist, you also know that I am a sword cultivator. In fact, I am not an ordinary independent cultivator. I have a master. However, sword cultivators are used to being alone, so there is no difference between me and independent cultivators. I didn't mean to hide it."

Yan Chixia apologized and spoke again.

"I came to Qingliang Mountain because my master said that I was destined to practice swordsmanship here. Now that I have met my fellow Taoists, I know that I have found my destiny. If this talisman sword technique is successful, I will follow my master's instructions and travel the world, slaying demons and monsters, and experiencing life and death to become a true swordsman."

"Fellow Daoist mentioned Lanruo Temple before. Whether it's true or not, I have to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to see it. If such a place really exists, I will definitely eliminate the demons and defend the Dao."

Yan Chixia's eyes were blazing as he stood with a sword in his hand, his eyes like torches, his aura overwhelming.

"it is good!"

Chen Ji responded loudly.

"Since Fellow Daoist Yan has this idea, I will practice with you!"

Chen Ji shook his body and transformed into the original form of the tree demon grandma in his memory.

A huge locust tree, more than ten feet tall, rose from the ground, with twisted branches and vines covering the sky. The bark was protruding with countless spurs with white bones hanging on it, and every leaf was like a human eye hanging high in the air, dripping blood.

The wind blew, the branches and leaves swayed, and countless phosphorous fires fell from the trees. When they landed on the wood and stones, they immediately ignited the flames of the tarsal bones, which were dark green and pale. Then you could see that the ground under the tree was full of skeletons, emitting a strange and enchanting atmosphere.

"What kind of monster is this...it's so terrifying!"

Yan Chixia's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and his eyes showed horror.

　I wish you all a happy holiday. Those who have people will never lack love, and those who have love will never lack people!
