One person ascends to the Pure Huang Court

This liquid, like mercury, condensed into a ball and slowly changed into the shape of an animal.

Gengjin controls the killing power of heaven and earth and is responsible for the changes in wars in the world, so it is often represented by a white tiger. It is believed that Hu Xiuwu's sword spirit would be a white tiger, or at worst a white cat.

Under Hu Xiuwu's expectant eyes, the ball of Gengjin gradually turned into a creature with jade-white hair, sharp teeth and claws, looking quite cute...

Jade Rabbit!

The smile on Hu Xiuwu's face froze instantly.

Rabbit? How could it be a rabbit? The senior who held this sword before was really good at playing with it.

I wonder if anyone who has faced the Wuzhu Sheath Sword knows that they are actually facing a cute jade rabbit? It would be a shame to be defeated by this sword.

While Hu Xiuwu was daydreaming, the jade rabbit opened its big scarlet eyes, with a look of confusion as if it had just woken up from a long sleep.

The brocade anaconda quietly crawled behind the jade rabbit, spitting out its tongue. It seemed that the jade rabbit stimulated the hunting instinct of this spirit snake, and it forgot that it was now a spirit body.

The anaconda took advantage of the rabbit's unpreparedness and suddenly attacked from behind, opening its bloody mouth and trying to swallow the rabbit.

Hu Xiuwu quickly shouted: "No!"

Before the anaconda bit the jade rabbit, the seemingly soft hairs on the jade rabbit's body began to emit a sharp murderous aura, and each hair was like a small sword, piercing the anaconda's snake mouth and making countless tiny pinholes.

The mouth of the anaconda was pierced like a sieve, and it crawled to Hu Xiuwu whimpering and seeking comfort. Hu Xiuwu stroked the body of the anaconda helplessly. He wanted to call out to the anaconda because he was worried about its injury.

No matter how harmless the rabbit looks, it is actually the product of the murderous Gengjin Qi. The Jade Rabbit's true form, the Wuzhu Sheath Imperial Staff Knife, is also a magical instrument that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is far from being comparable to the Three Corpse Needles.

However, the commotion caused by the brocade boa made the jade rabbit completely wake up. She understood who had helped her regain her spiritual intelligence these days and who was her current master.

The Jade Rabbit looked at Hu Xiuwu, suddenly kicked its legs and jumped up, crashing into Hu Xiuwu's Niwan Palace.

Chapter 94: Sword Master's Dream

The Jade Rabbit bumped into Hu Xiuwu's forehead and went in like a mirage.

Then he was kicked out by Jinggen, and fell back onto the Wuzhu Sheathed Staff Sword at a faster speed than before, swaying on the sword. His scarlet eyeballs turned into mosquito-repellent eyes, and his two erect ears drooped down.

Hu Xiuwu looked at the confused Jade Rabbit with some helplessness.

Even Master Hui Er doesn't dare to offend the Brain God Jing Gen, and you dare to bump into him!

Little rabbit, you are very brave!

Hu Xiuwu's hands glowed with golden light. He reached out to hold the reckless little rabbit, and stroked the little rabbit, causing golden light to splash on his hands.

Well, the feel is just so-so, almost like touching a wire brush.

Hu Xiuwu remained calm on the surface, but was thinking silently in his heart.

Jade Rabbit shook her little head. It was obvious that she was a little hesitant, but then she nodded firmly, as if to encourage herself.

Then he looked up at Hu Xiuwu's forehead. His ears were like sharp swords and his face had an expression of being ready to die.

Hu Xiuwu:······

Seeing that the little jade rabbit was about to kick its legs and charge towards him again, Hu Xiuwu hurriedly grabbed her. However, the little creature was still unconvinced and jumped around in Hu Xiuwu's hands like a grasshopper.

Hu Xiuwu was helpless: "Little guy, what are you going to do?"

Jade Rabbit broke free from his hand, stood on the knife, and danced on it.

“Hmm...hmm...hmm, oh! I understand.”

Hu Xiuwu had a serious expression and nodded from time to time. Then he clenched his right fist and knocked it on the palm of his left hand as if he had suddenly realized something.

Then he held the Wuzhu sheathed imperial staff knife in his arms, and faced Jade Rabbit's brows. On Jade Rabbit's forehead were memories that she had preserved for a thousand years but had not faded. The memories that were still shining brightly emerged and were transmitted into Hu Xiuwu's Niwan Palace.

The anaconda, who was watching this scene, scratched its head with the tip of its tail, feeling as if its head was a little itchy.

······

In the eighth year of Kaiyuan, the Tang Dynasty was at its peak. In Chang'an City, all nations came to pay tribute, fully demonstrating the demeanor of the Celestial Empire.

South of Chang'an City, there is a simple Taoist temple in Mount Zhongnan, and the gate of the temple is closed.

Outside the gate, there were several carriages parked, and there were men wearing colorful brocade round-necked, narrow-sleeved robes, with fish-shaped jade pendants around their waists.

If there were someone who had lived in Chang'an for a long time and was well-informed, he would be able to recognize that the gentlemen who formed a rainbow here were all the sons of famous families in Chang'an.

Behind these people stood guards with swords on their waists, as well as many servants, and each of these servants held a priceless gift in his hand.

But the purpose of their coming here was not to seek immortality or the way of Taoism, but to ask for the paintings made by the owner of the Taoist temple.

The owner of the Taoist temple was named Wu Daozi. He was good at calligraphy and painting, and was known for his mastery of the art of painting. In the first year of Kaiyuan, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang heard of Wu Daozi's reputation and invited him to Chang'an to serve as a Doctor of Internal Education.

A few years ago, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang ordered Wu Daozi to paint murals for the Datong Hall. Wu Daozi painted five vivid and majestic five-clawed dragons.

Whenever it rains heavily, this painting will create clouds and mist in the hall, and the dragon scales in the painting will flutter as if it is about to break through the wall. The waiters serving in the Datong Hall have all heard the dragon's roar emanating from the mural.

If a person with lower cultivation and weaker will is around the mural, he will be suppressed by the dragon power released by the mural, and his Qi will be obscure and he will find it difficult to cast spells.

Emperor Taizong of Tang was very satisfied with this, and Wu Daozi became famous because of it. There were also rumors that Wu Daozi's paintings could drive away evil spirits and keep the home peaceful.

Therefore, all the noble families in Chang'an City hoped to obtain an authentic work of Wu Daozi.

Wu Daozi only loved wine and did not value gold and silver. He was annoyed by those who came to him to ask for paintings, so he simply hid in the Zhongnan Mountains outside Chang'an to find some peace and quiet. He did not expect that this group of people would chase him all the way here.

He simply closed the door, refused to see anyone, refused to accept anyone's business cards, hid in his little room, and drank alone. If he had not been a doctor of internal education and could not leave Chang'an too far, he really wanted to leave Chang'an and travel around the world.

Inside the Taoist temple, Wu Daozi lazily lay on a Hu bed, tilted his head back and drank the wine in his hand. He felt as if he was floating in the air and his whole body was relaxed.

This kind of gloomy weather is perfect for lying on a Hu bed and tasting warm rice wine. It would be even better if there weren't those noisy people outside the door asking for paintings.

Wu Daozi thought lazily,

Just as Wu Daozi was drinking leisurely in the house and enjoying the coolness of summer, suddenly a cool breeze blew into the house, carrying a peony in the wind. The peony floated into the house with the wind, and in an instant it broke into several petals and fell to the ground.

What a superb swordsmanship, it can shatter the flowers without hurting them at all.

Wu Daozi's eyes widened. He only knew one person who had such sword skills. Wu Daozi hurriedly got up from the bed, straightened his clothes, and went out to greet the guest.

Hoarse!

The temple's tightly closed door was suddenly opened from the inside, and Wu Daozi finally came out of the temple.

The young men from wealthy families who had been waiting at the door came forward and introduced themselves in a flurry.

"Doctor Wu, I am Cui Dunlin from the Cui family of Qinghe. I am offering you a box of pearls as a gift for your painting. I hope to receive a painting from you."

"Doctor Wu, Doctor Wu, I am Liu Deng from the Hedong Liu family. I am offering you two boxes of gold and pearls. Please help me!"

The prices these people were shouting were getting higher and higher, but Wu Daozi didn't even look at them. He just stood in front of the Taoist temple, staring motionlessly at the road leading into the mountain.

Finally, someone among the people who asked for paintings noticed Wu Daozi's strange behavior and looked in the direction of Wu Daozi's gaze.

There was a young man with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, dignified bearing and heroic appearance, carrying a bamboo stick, walking slowly up the mountain.

Different from those sons of noble families who came to ask for paintings, he was dressed in mourning clothes, but underneath he was wearing a brocade robe with a high slit at the hem, which was convenient for use in fighting, and on his feet were Liuhe boots that only military generals would wear.

It is obvious that Wu Daozi opened the gate wide just to welcome this extraordinary man.

People who came to ask for paintings gathered in groups of three or five, whispering to each other.

"Who is this gentleman that could make an arrogant person like Wu Daozi specially open the door to welcome him?"

"You don't even know him. He is Pei Min of the Hedong Pei Clan. It is said that his sword dance is unparalleled in the world. When the saint entertained the envoys of those small countries, he ordered this Pei Lang to perform sword dance at the banquet."

"His sword dance was like Yi shooting down nine suns, or flying on a dragon. All the envoys at the banquet were shocked by the might of Pei Lang's sword and were terrified of the power of the Tang Dynasty."

"After the banquet, the Saint was very pleased and promoted him to the rank of Sixth Rank, Imperial Guard Captain."

Pei Min, no, now it’s Hu Xiuwu. What the Jade Rabbit just passed to Hu Xiuwu was Pei Min’s memory. He is now trapped in Pei Min’s memory, transformed into Pei Min, and experiencing the time that Pei Min has experienced.

When Wu Daozi saw Pei Min, he stepped forward to greet him and said, "Brother Pei, it's been a long time since we last met in Luoyang."

Wu Daozi once accompanied the sage to Luoyang, the eastern capital, where Pei Min danced with swords for the sage. Wu Daozi painted a picture of the dance and Zhang Xu wrote a postscript for the painting.

"What are you doing..." Wu Daozi looked at the shroud covering Pei Min's robe.

Pei Min stuck his bamboo stick into the ground as a gesture of salutation, and bowed solemnly to Wu Daozi, saying in a hoarse voice:

"Brother Wu, my mother passed away last month. I came to bother you today because I hope you can go to Tiangong Temple to paint a mural to pray for the soul of the deceased and accumulate merit for my mother."

Pei Min then stood up, glanced at the gifts brought by the people around him, and said decisively:

"After the task is completed, Brother Wu's reward will be paid tenfold."

"Hahaha, when have I ever valued these things?"

Wu Daozi smiled generously, then looked at Pei Min and said:

"After we parted in Luoyang, I still remember Brother Pei's sword dance very clearly. If Brother Pei wants to repay me, can you dance a sword dance for me?"

Pei Min pulled out the bamboo stick stuck in the soil, took off his mourning clothes, and shouted: "What's the difficulty?"

Light flew out from the staff and flew into Pei Min's hand like purple lightning. Pei Min then danced with the sword for Wu Daozi in front of the Taoist temple.

The sword is soaring, and it is soaring like a tiger, and it is shaking the windlass, and it is shooting at the bull. It is soaring in the air, and it will not fall for long.

Moo!

In front of the Taoist temple, the sound of a dragon's roar was heard. Pei Min took a big step forward and leaped forward. He turned into a dragon in the wind, with scales, armor, and beard all complete, just like a divine dragon appearing in the world.

Youyue Sword Technique: Jade Dragon Song.

The jade dragon hovering above the earth suddenly separated from Pei Min's body, flew up into the sky, rushed into the dark clouds, and dispersed the dark clouds for thousands of miles. Then it shot down like lightning, and Pei Min took the sheath in his hand to catch it.

The hilt of the sword fell precisely on the scabbard, and together with the scabbard it formed a cane knife, shaped like a long and slender saber.

Pei Min held the knife in both hands. The wind blew from the foot of Mount Zhongnan, picking up the flowers along the way and gathering around Pei Min.

Youyue Sword Technique: Guipo Duan,

The sword energy around Pei Min condensed like a tornado, and when his momentum reached a peak, Pei Min swung the sword toward the sky. He placed his grief for his mother on the sword and swung it out as well.

Pei Min controlled the sword with extreme passion, thus breaking through his own bottleneck and bursting out unprecedented power.

In the eyes of the onlookers, a pillar of light rose from Pei Min's hand and went straight into the sky, as if it was going to knock on the door of Guanghan Palace outside the nine heavens.

The Sword Saint was born today, and the visiting card went straight to Guanghan!

Youyue Sword Technique·Guanghan Lingxiao!

When the beam of light dissipated, flowers fell from the sky like rain. The scenery was so beautiful that it made people feel like they were in a wonderland of flowers.
