Martial Arts: Zhiruo breaks off the engagement and realizes the immortality

The monkey's paw was only half extended when it was hit hard by a branch.

"Stay away! This is not something you can eat!"

Xie Xiaoxu scolded.

The monkey blinked its eyes and circled around, its gaze still fixed on the bottle of elixir, looking extremely eager.

But Xie Xiaoxu's previous scolding made it feel a little scared, and for a moment it didn't dare to reach out to snatch it.

After a long time.

The clever monkey wandered around, took out a gourd from somewhere, ran up again, and then stretched out his monkey paw to gesture.

Only then did Xie Xiaoxu understand that he wanted to change the pills.

Adhering to the principle of fairness and equality, he accepted the gourd from the spirit monkey, then took out a pill from the jade bottle and threw it to it.

The monkey took the pill and stepped aside with joy.

"Is this a bottle of spirit wine?"

Xie Xiaoxu opened the gourd and immediately smelled a strong aroma of wine, which was so mellow that it seemed to contain the essence of heaven and earth.

It is the legendary monkey wine.

Chapter 37: Probing the Truth

"It is said that monkey wine is a natural wine made by the monkeys in the mountains from the fruits they pick and naturally ferment. I wonder what it tastes like."

Xie Xiaoxu's eyes sparkled.

I didn't expect to encounter such a wonderful thing in the back mountain. Refining the elixir can even attract monkeys to send me wine.

This kind of spiritual wine is hard to come by. It contains the essence of hundreds of spiritual fruits, which can nourish the body and replenish qi and blood. Since it is naturally fermented from hundreds of spiritual fruits, the smell is extremely strong. If you drink too much, you will be drunk for at least three days.

This clever monkey had such concentration that he collected hundreds of kinds of spiritual fruits and just left them there. If it were an ordinary naughty monkey, he would probably not even leave the fruit cores, let alone let them ferment into wine.

The monkey retreated to the side and did not treat Xie Xiaoxu as an outsider at all. He swallowed the pill in front of him.

The perfect quality Lingsui Pill was extremely effective and changes soon occurred.

The originally dry fur on the monkey's body turned golden and translucent, emitting a hint of spiritual energy.

His eyes became extremely clear, more like a clever monkey nurtured by the essence of heaven and earth, and he was becoming more and more like Monkey King.

And when it picked up the branch and began to dance again, a trace of sword energy emanated from every dance. At first glance, it looked like a master of kendo.

Xie Xiaoxu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"It is said that the Vietnamese girl Ah Qing learned the supreme sword technique by watching the white ape dancing with swords. Now the monkey dancing with swords can be regarded as having the same skill."

Perhaps I could teach a master of swordsmanship.

Although he is just a clever monkey, his talent in swordsmanship is no less than that of an ordinary genius.

As a natural creature, the monkey has no distracting thoughts like humans and is extremely pure. It is a piece of top-quality uncut jade. It can make great progress with just a little guidance.

I wonder what those people in the martial arts world would think if they knew that the sword skills they practiced so hard were not as good as a clever monkey.

And Xie Xiaoxu also took a sip of monkey wine.

The spirit wine tasted slightly bitter at first, but with an intoxicating sweetness, leaving a slight numbness on the tip of his tongue, as if he had touched the purest power between heaven and earth.

Close your eyes for a moment and let this spring-like energy spread throughout your body.

He felt as if he was blending with the earth, resonating with the heaven and earth, and his mind gradually calmed down.

"Although the taste of this monkey wine is strong, its actual effect is quite the opposite. In addition to nourishing the body, it also helps calm the mind."

While Xie Xiaoxu was tasting the wine, the monkey had already started to sit cross-legged on the ground and breathe, imitating Xie Xiaoxu.

The whirring sound was extremely loud, as if it was deliberately trying to attract his attention.

Xie Xiaoxu couldn't help but smile. This monkey looked too much like a human. It seemed to have developed intelligence. Moreover, this monkey had excellent aptitude. If he succeeded in his cultivation one day, he might become an invaluable helper.

Just like those true immortals and bodhisattvas all have an extremely powerful mount by their side.

The main thing is that this monkey, besides being a little more clever and lively, is also very obedient and won't do anything rash.

He meditated and practiced for more than an hour, completely refining and absorbing the spirit of the monkey wine.

Just as he was about to go down the mountain, he met Shopkeeper Xie.

Shopkeeper Xie frowned, looking like he was troubled by something.

When he saw Xie Xiaoxu practicing in the back mountain, he stopped and greeted him.

"Butler, you are in such a hurry, is there something serious going on?"

As the steward of Shenjian Villa, if nothing big had happened, he would not be so busy, and would not come to the back mountain.

Shopkeeper Xie said with a serious expression: "Young Master, you may not know that according to reports from some of the disciples who went out to explore, a master may have sneaked into our Shenjian Villa!

If you see anyone suspicious, you must be more careful."

master?

Xie Xiaoxu immediately became interested. What kind of expert could sneak into the Divine Sword Villa so quietly? He really wanted to meet him.

"Tell me what happened."

The housekeeper nodded and said, "Recently, my disciples from Shenjian Villa found a body near Baiyun Taoist Temple. It is said that it was Ding Chunqiu, the leader of the Xingxiu Sect of the Great Song Dynasty."

Weird old Ding.

Xie Xiaoxu was speechless when he heard this.

I thought something big had happened, but it turned out that the body of Old Monster Ding was found.

After the old monster Ding was killed by himself, none of the disciples who escaped returned to bury his body, so it was discovered by the patrolling disciples of Shenjian Villa.

Seeing that he looked nonchalant, the housekeeper immediately reminded him, "Young Master, you don't know that Old Monster Ding is a master at the Grandmaster level. What's more terrifying is his endless tricks. To kill him, you need to be at least a Grandmaster! Don't be careless."

At this point he thought of the important matter again, "I have to report this matter to the master as soon as possible."

Just as he was about to leave, he was pulled back by a pair of large hands.

Xie Xiaoxu smiled slightly and said, "There's no need to report this to father."

The housekeeper was immediately anxious. "Master, please don't mess around. The man who was able to kill Ding Chunqiu must be at least a great master. But now he has disappeared. What should we do if he sneaks into our Shenjian Villa?"

"There is no doubt that he is already in the Divine Sword Villa!"

The butler was horrified, with deep fear in his eyes.

Could it be that the expert has already sneaked into the villa? Moreover, the opponent's strength is at least a grandmaster, what should we do if it is not good for the Excalibur Villa?

Looking at the housekeeper pacing back and forth, Xie Xiaoxu continued: "Don't worry, because I killed that old monster Ding.

This person has committed many evil deeds and his body is left lying in the wilderness, which is what he deserves."

Shopkeeper Xie was stunned on the spot, his eyes wide open.

Young Master, you are going to scare me to death!

I thought that a master at the Grandmaster level had sneaked into the Divine Sword Villa, which made me nervous.

I didn't expect that Ding Chunqiu would die at the hands of the fourth young master!

Unknowingly, the young master's strength has become so terrifying!

The butler patted his chest, his pounding heart still couldn't calm down.

His eyes rolled as if he had thought of something, and he continued, "There is one more thing that I don't know if you understand, young master.

The Iron-hearted Divine Marquis of Hulong Villa has sent people to my Divine Sword Villa, saying that they are here to pay their respects to the Third Young Master. I guess they are already paying their respects to the Third Young Master’s tomb with me.”

Condolences?

Xie Xiaoxu narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.

Needless to say, this is just an excuse made by the other party.

When did the Hulong Villa become so concerned about his Shenjian Villa?

I'm afraid he has other plans.

"How many people did Hulong Villa send over?"

"There are only two of them, a knight dressed in unique clothes, and a handsome young man holding a folding fan."

The butler answered truthfully.

A knight in unique clothing?

Could it be Duan Tianya who returned from Japan?

Xie Xiaoxu guessed in his heart.

As for the handsome young man, it is very likely that he is Shangguan Haitang in man's clothing. Hulong Villa will not send an idle young man here.

Chapter 38: Monkey Sword Dance

The two men and the monkey came to the cenotaph where the third young master was.

The clever monkeys followed behind Xie Xiaoxu, squeaking all the way and looking extremely excited.

The butler kept looking at the monkey, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

This monkey looks different. Although a little naughty and active, it is not naughty and seems to be very close to the fourth young master.

When they were about to approach the cenotaph, the monkey's roar stopped instantly, as if it knew that this was a solemn and dignified place and had stopped the noise.

The butler took a deep look at the monkey. It must be something extraordinary to be valued by the young master!

Noticing the arrival of the people, Xie Wangsun came forward and pointed at two figures not far away and said, "You are here.

Those two are Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang from Hulong Villa. They came here to pay their respects on the orders of the Divine Marquis. "

Xie Xiaoxu glanced at the two people standing beside Xie Xiaofeng's cenotaph.

It turned out to be these two of the four major spies.

Duan Tianya was dressed like a Japanese warrior, while Shangguan Haitang next to him looked like a handsome young man as the butler said.

Xie Xiaoxu knew very well that Shangguan Haitang looked like a handsome young man in the corrupt world, but in fact she was a stunning beauty, a combination of the spirit of heaven and earth, and unparalleled elegance. She was also the owner of the number one manor in the world.

Zhu Wusi sent them here, presumably because he attached great importance to the Divine Sword Villa.

Hearing the conversation, the two people who were in silence turned back at the same time.

Shangguan Haitang was instantly attracted by the young man's temperament, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Elegant and extraordinary

One could even detect traces of martial arts training on him, but he gave people a very mysterious and unfathomable feeling.

Among all the people I have ever met, only Tiedan Shenhou has such aura.

A solemn look flashed across Duan Tianya's eyes, and he found that he could not see through the young man at all.

Even if he returned from Japan with great improvement in strength, he would not be sure of defeating this person.

This person must be an accomplished master of swordsmanship.

The two walked forward slowly. Shangguan Haitang smiled, showing some of the gentleness of a woman. "This young man must be the Fourth Young Master. Seeing is believing. He is indeed a genius, a rare talent."

Although Shangguan Haitang was dressed as a man at the moment, her voice was that of a woman.

Facing the praise, Xie Xiaoxu just smiled faintly, "It's just a trifle. It's still a little far from the top masters on the mainland."

"You two must have other purposes for coming to my Shenjian Villa besides paying respects to my third brother."

Shangguan Haitang's smile froze, and she pursed her lips and said, "The men in Shenjian Villa are not ordinary people. In the past, there was Sword God Xie Xiaofeng, and now there is the Fourth Young Master who is rising rapidly.

We are here to pay our respects to the Third Young Master and to learn martial arts from the Fourth Young Master."

Didn't keep you in suspense.

Zhu Wusi sent them here naturally to find out the details of Shenjian Villa, especially the strength of the fourth young master Xie Xiaoxu, and he also instructed them to win over the other party as much as possible.

With Xie Xiaoxu's current battle record surpassing that of Xie Xiaofeng of the same period, he has a great chance of growing into the Ming Dynasty's top sword god. Huolong Villa does not want to miss out on such a talent.
