This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 143 Fortunately
Naturally, there was no need to attend classes that day, so Zhuang Lin and Liu Hongyu left the valley together.

From leaving Yinxian Valley to directly crossing the long distance to reach Donghai City, for ordinary people, it is definitely a relatively long journey even with modern transportation.

But it is different for Zhuang Lin and Liu Hongyu, the prerequisite is that they don't hesitate to consume their mana.

The two of them almost flew up on the wind as soon as they left the school, and soon crossed the cave formation to the modern time and space outside.

At this point, the two of them paused slightly in the sky, and a sword slipped out of Zhuang Lin's sleeve. This sword was not the wooden sword Chixuan, but a new sword that he had forged together with Grandpa Qiao. It was also the sword that Zhuang Lin had been practicing more frequently recently.

The name of this sword is Ningshuang, and its scabbard and hilt are completely snow-white.

At this moment, Zhuang Lin reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword, gently pulling the Ningshuang sword out of its sheath. The long sword made a sharp sound that seemed to be filled with excitement, revealing a sword body that was shining brightly.

Liu Hongyu looked on, somewhat puzzled. Was his master about to draw his sword? But hadn't the situation already been stabilized?

Zhuang Lin glanced at the senior disciple beside him, then looked up at the direction of Donghai City in the distance.

"Hongyu, although riding the wind is convenient, it's not the fastest."

In fact, even though this wind is a very special manifestation of immortal magic, the speed of controlling the wind is relatively limited. At its fastest, it is only a few hundred kilometers per hour.

If it were faster, it would certainly be possible with Zhuang Lin's current level of cultivation, but there was no need for it. The same goes for riding a cloud. Unless you want to carry a lot of people, there is no need for it.

But if it’s just me or one or two people, or if Liu Hongyu is by my side right now, there are naturally more suitable people.

After Ningshuang left his body, the sword energy was held back, but the sword light on the sword seemed to become brighter and brighter.

Liu Hongyu, who was standing aside, seemed to have thought of something when he heard his master's words. He slapped his sleeves and a sword box flew out, and the Xingyuan sword inside also flew out of its sheath and into his hand.

Seeing that his disciple understood, Zhuang Lin nodded slightly.

"You must have tried flying a sword before?"

"Master, I have already tried flying with a sword. I have even tried flying with a sword. The speed is indeed much faster than flying with the wind!"

"Oh? You've tried flying with a sword? How did you do it?"

Zhuang Lin didn't seem to be in a hurry to go to Donghai City immediately. Instead, he wanted to watch his eldest disciple's sword-controlling skills in the mountains above the nature reserve.

Liu Hongyu threw out the sword without any words. When Xingyuan was flying in the air, he flew into the air, caught up with the spirit sword and landed on the sword. He let the flying sword carry him forward. In a short time, he flew back and forth in the valley and quickly stopped in front of Zhuang Lin.

"Please give me some advice, Master!"

Zhuang Lin smiled.

"You use the sword well and your balance is excellent, but that's just you. Flying on a sword is fine when you need to fight an enemy, but who told you that this is the full extent of sword flying?"

Liu Hongyu was slightly stunned, and looked down at the spiritual sword Xingyuan under his feet. He thought that he was literally flying on a sword.

"As for flying with a sword, your forced attempt just now can be considered a form, but the true method is the fusion of man and sword. You use the sword's momentum to move, control the sword with your mind, and use the sword to escape from the person. How fast the sword is, how fast the person is!"

As he spoke, Zhuang Lin glanced at Liu Hongyu.

"The sword takes the lead, follow closely. Heart and sword are one. Since I am the sword, I will demonstrate once! If you can't learn, then catch up slowly!"

In fact, this method of flying with a sword is not a big secret, but not many people can really use it. Ultimately, it is because it is difficult.

To put it simply, it can be summed up in just a few sentences, which is also what Zhuang Lin just said, but it requires a high state of mind, high control over magic power, and even consumes a lot of energy.

Moreover, the premise to support those sentences is that you yourself must have sufficient understanding of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang, so that you can escape with the sword.

Zhuang Lin asked himself if he had absolute confidence that he could use it, and he also believed that Liu Hongyu could definitely do it.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Lin threw the Ningshuang in his hand forward.

"Om~~~"

The next moment, the sword light flashed and rushed forward, and Zhuang Lin's figure seemed to be pulled by the sword light at the same moment. It was as if his figure was stretched in the illusion for a moment, and then merged with the sword light in another moment.

It was as if the flying spiritual sword Ningshuang was integrated with a brilliant light during the flight. The sword light spread in an instant, turned into a sword rainbow, and disappeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Liu Hongyu's gaze followed the sword rainbow. It was like a stream of light in the shape of a sharp sword. It was in front of his eyes the moment before, and in the next moment it was already far away. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared among the barriers of mountains and peaks.

This is the real sword flying!

Liu Hongyu was excited. He saw all the details clearly, as if they were engraved in his mind. But he knew even more clearly that form was only the external and unimportant part. The real mystery lay in the essence.

In just a few breaths, the master's sword rainbow could no longer be seen, but Liu Hongyu was not anxious at this moment. Instead, he closed his eyes and calmed his mind. After taking a deep breath, he summoned the magic sword in his hand.

"Xingyuan, let's go!"

The moment the spirit sword flew forward, Liu Hongyu also seemed to be moving with the flying sword. The next moment his figure became illusory, and the man and sword melted into a rainbow.
Although Zhuang Lin in the distance left earlier, he did not really escape far away. The sword light circled around the periphery of the protected area for a while, and then the sword rainbow of Liu Hongyu was seen flying towards him.

Zhuang Lin chuckled, and the two sword rainbows merged, one in front of the other, heading towards Donghai City. The master and disciple, caught in the sword rainbow's flight, were now relying more on their minds to process everything around them. This was more effective than visual observation, as if they were flying too low, everything would be blurry to Liu Hongyu's eyes.

At the same time, flying on the sword made Liu Hongyu feel tremendous pressure, not only because of the consumption of mana, but also because of the oppressive feeling in front.

This is a very strange feeling. If you don't feel it deeply, it won't be very obvious. But if you focus your mind on this oppressive feeling, you will find yourself constantly using your spirit sword to break through layers of gas dams.
But putting all this aside, there was another feeling that made Liu Hongyu almost want to let out a loud roar.

The physical eyes are blurry but the mind's eyes are clear. This is what is called lightning speed. It seems that the vast universe is just within reach. This feeling is so cool!

Zhuang Lin did not tell Liu Hongyu that the pressure they were experiencing at the moment was almost as strong as the gale, but it seemed that his eldest disciple could still withstand it, which also meant that he was already capable of reaching above the sea of clouds in heaven.

"Hongyu, remember, the broader your heart, the more powerful your sword will be. From the blue sea in the morning to Cangwu in the evening, the vastness of heaven and earth is at my disposal. If you control your sword with this heart, you can conquer the whole world!"

Zhuang Lin's voice reached Liu Hongyu's ears, and the two sword rainbows disappeared over the Shennongjia Nature Reserve at an even faster speed.
-
In modern China, above the Donghai Film and Television City, near the clouds on the horizon, the afterglow of the setting sun seemed to become even brighter at some point.

But this dazzling light did not come entirely from the sunset, but was also due to the appearance of two sword rainbows, one white and one gray.

At this moment, a flash of sword light appeared, and the figures of Zhuang Lin and Liu Hongyu appeared in the clouds. At this moment, the man and the sword were separated, and Ningshuang and Xingyuan appeared at the feet of their master, supporting their bodies that were still moving forward by inertia, allowing the two to hover in the sky.

Liu Hongyu exhaled slightly and took a few deep breaths, but this only helped to calm his mind and did not absorb any spiritual energy.

Zhuang Lin looked towards the Donghai Film and Television City, and at the exquisite pagoda that still stood there.

"It looks like nothing happened to Linglong Tower!"

Liu Hongyu also said something on the side, and Zhuang Lin nodded.

"Go down and take a look!"

The probability of something happening to the Linglong Pagoda cannot be said to be absolutely impossible, but it is also extremely low.

The only possibility Zhuang Lin could think of before was that the Linglong Pagoda had not been looked after for many years and was slowly running out of spiritual energy due to lack of replenishment.

But even so, the evil Buddha in the tower will definitely die first, because before the Linglong Pagoda itself can no longer maintain its suppressive power, it will already begin to extract the evil Buddha's original power.

But how long have Gao Ran and Sun Yaocai been away from Hidden Immortal Valley?
At the same time, the existence of the one who could almost kill the evil Buddha also aroused strong curiosity in Zhuang Lin and Liu Hongyu. Liu Hongyu had to admit that he had misjudged the person last time. Although he thought he valued him more, he still underestimated the person in the painting.

As the two of them were lost in thought, they sheathed their swords, which transformed into a breeze and landed on the square of the film and television city. They then blew towards the gate of the Linglong Pagoda.

The incident happened at around three o'clock, and Zhuang Lin and Liu Hongyu arrived at around four o'clock.

This also includes the time when Liu Lei and others called and the time when Li Dong returned to the valley to inform them after learning about the situation.

However, it must be said that the efficiency of the Film and Television City Management Committee or the Liu family is still acceptable. After more than an hour, there is almost no one in the entire film and television city.

Citing major safety hazards, the film and television city management committee temporarily evacuated everyone. Even the Qi family, who had been insisting on staying, were forcibly taken away.

Zhuang Lin and Liu Hongyu appeared in front of the gate of Linglong Pagoda as if they had walked out of the wind.

"Squeak~"

The door slowly opened, and Gao Ran and Sun Yao inside, as well as the umbrella holder who was enveloped in the white light inside the tower, subconsciously turned around and looked outside.

When the door opened, I seemed to see a bright light outside, which was not like the setting sun, but rather like the brightness of the morning sun at dawn!
In this light, two figures walked into the tower, and they still seemed to be accompanied by halos.
Gao Ran and Sun Yao felt relieved, but at the same time, they became nervous and uneasy.

"Master, Senior Brother, you are here"

"Master, Senior Brother."

Liu Hongyu glared at the two of them, then pursed his lips at Zhuang Lin without saying a word, but his words already spoke volumes about how to admit his mistakes and how to exonerate others.

On the other hand, for the man holding the umbrella, although he had already guessed it, when he really saw the person coming, he couldn't help but be shocked, and his eyes were firmly locked on the man who seemed to be just an ordinary person after entering the tower.

"Confucian Immortals. We can really see Confucian Immortals in this era."

Even the man holding the umbrella in his current state managed to withstand the pressure, using the umbrella to support himself on the ground and slowly getting up. Facing Zhuang Lin who was looking at him, he bowed with all his might.

"The Taoist umbrella guardian, greetings to you, sir!"

The umbrella holder felt grateful and thought, "It is my good fortune to be able to wait until this moment!"

Zhuang Linben also intended to respond appropriately.

At this moment, seeing the man in green holding the umbrella, hearing what he said, seeing his almost collapsed fate, and looking at the almost weathered Buddha statue in the tower, Zhuang Lin felt a mysterious enlightenment in his heart. Although he still didn't know the details, he naturally understood the reason for all this.

In fact, when approaching the Linglong Pagoda, Zhuang Lin already had a general idea of the situation of the three evil Buddhas, and when he saw the green-clothed figure that seemed almost illusory, he also felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

"It is a rare opportunity for you and I to meet in this world. It is both unfortunate and fortunate!"
