Chapter 25: Suddenly Hearing the Sound of Pipa on the Water

Yunqi's thoughts left the jade slip, but his eyes were still closed, quietly comprehending the spell just now.

After a short rest, Yunqi put away the jade slip and glanced at the huge rock opposite.

He formed a seal with his left hand, pressing his thumb on his middle and ring fingers, and straightening his index and little fingers. He circulated the gold element in his body and pointed at the boulder, while shouting,
"crack!"

A sharp magical power fell on the boulder along with the sound of the spell, and spider-web-like cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the boulder.

The next moment, the lake breeze blew over, and a layer of stone skin fell off.

Yunqi took a quick look and saw that the Dharma power had only penetrated half an inch into the boulder.

However, Yunqi was not too disappointed. Cultivation always starts from the shallower to the deeper, and the more you practice, the better you become.

After practicing repeatedly like this, his Yunqi spell became more and more profound, but the magic power in his body was also rapidly decreasing. Fortunately, this osmanthus forest was a good gold land, so it was very convenient to consume gold energy.

By the second day, a four-foot square and one-foot deep hole had appeared on the boulder, and the fallen rocks were all crushed into stone powder by Yunqi. Yunqi estimated that after another day, it should be no problem for him to sit cross-legged inside. Although it might be faster to cut directly with "Autumn Water", this process is also a process of practicing mantras and realizing the gold element.

At the end of the Shen period and the beginning of the You period, the sun was setting in the west. It was the time when the metal energy was strong. The clouds were meditating and eating air when suddenly they heard a sound of tearing silk and metal coming from the lake.

Yunqi opened his eyes, and there was no sound from the mother bell. The sound was at least three miles away, but it was so clear in his ears.

He took his sword, left the package in the cave, and walked towards the water in the direction of the sound.

At this time, three loud sounds were heard, which were clanging sounds. However, the pitch of these sounds was different, and they seemed to have a tune. There was a stinging sensation in the ears, which did not sound like the sound made by mortals.

The sound seemed to come from the north, but when Yunqi stood by the water and looked into the distance, he could not see anything and had no idea what the sound was.

Yunqi was a little curious. He had been out of the mountains for a month and had not seen anything extraordinary. He had not met any cultivators along the way. Today was the first time. He could not help but summon the "dragon chariot" and ride the cloud to the lake.

The sound was still ringing, and Yunqi felt that something was wrong. Why did it seem to be coming towards him?

When they got closer, Yunqi could already hear human voices.

"Young man from the Jin Xiang Sect, I didn't kill anyone from your family, so why did you chase me across half a lake?"

Jin Xiangzong?
Yunqi knew that the full name of the Jinxiang Sect was Taixi Jinxiang Sect, a large sect on Poyang Lake. They specialized in gold and were good at refining tools, especially seals and musical instruments.

Thinking of this, Yunqi suddenly recognized the sound. It was so high-pitched and like the sound of tearing silk. Wasn't it the sound of a pipa?
The Jin Xiang Sect is a legitimate Taoist sect, so who is the one speaking?
However, the disciples of the Jinxiang Sect seemed unwilling to pay attention and did not respond, but the sound of the pipa became more urgent.

Yunqi wanted to help, but he didn't know the level of those two people. He was just a small-time Qi-refining practitioner, so he didn't want to hold the young man back.

Thinking of this, Yunqi pressed the "Dragon Cart" and seeing a small island nearby, he quickly landed.

The clouds were hiding among the grass and trees. Looking up, I soon saw two dots appearing on the lake in the distance.

Sure enough, he was coming in this direction. A human figure could be seen at the point in front. Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it clearly. The man escaping in front had a young face and looked not much older than himself. His realm was not high enough to reach the sky. It was impossible for him to meet some old monster who had regained his youth or some gifted Taoist priest.

However, this person was extremely thin, and he wore a loose green Taoist robe. When he flew against the wind, the robe fluttered, which made his thin figure more obvious. The lower half of his body was trapped in a ball of gray mist, which carried the green-robed Taoist priest across the lake at a speed slightly faster than the cloud-like "dragon car", but not much slower.

But this man looked very cheerful, and didn't look like he was running for his life. After Yunqi finished looking at the man in front of him, the young man from the Jinxiang Sect behind him also flew closer.

The young man was tall and slender, wearing a cobalt blue Taoist robe with a pattern of a white egret on his chest, a piece of white feather the size of a small boat under his feet, and an apricot-yellow pipa in his arms. Just looking at this outfit, who wouldn't give a thumbs up?

The young man is even more handsome in appearance, with a graceful figure, dignified bearing, bright eyes and thin brows.

These two are like the villain and the good guy in a storybook. The only flaw is that the villain is not bad enough. If he had disheveled hair and a blood-stained robe, it would highlight the chivalry of Jin Xiangzong.

But this bad guy's mouth is really foul. "I say, Jin Xiangzong, you chased me all the way without opening your mouth. Are you a mute or a eunuch? Are you ashamed to be seen? And you said that you are actually a woman, but born with a male appearance? I can smell the fragrance on your body even against the wind. How much powder did you put on?"

The young man seemed to have reached the limit of his patience. "The evil and crooked ways must be punished by all. Thin Taoist, you came to my Poyang Lake to commit murder, how can I let you escape!"

"Hey!"

The so-called Thin Taoist smiled upon hearing this, turned his head back, and raised a red dew bag in his right hand. "Young man, you are from the Jinxiang Sect, and I am from the Faxiang Sect. It sounds like we are from the same family. I just killed a person from a small sect, who has nothing to do with you. This Poyang Lake is not yours, so why do you care about him? How about you let me go today? The guy I killed has a lot of wealth. Look at this heavy dew bag, how about I give some to you? This is already the edge of the lake, no one can see it..."

"town!"

"Ouch!"

"Zheng!Zheng!Zheng!Zheng!"

Before the thin Taoist could finish his words, something unexpected happened on the lake.

Suddenly, a spell interrupted the thin Taoist's chatter. The running thin Taoist seemed to hit a wall, paused in midair, and cried out in pain. The young man from Jin Xiangzong, who followed behind, immediately seized the opportunity and plucked the strings quickly with his right hand, producing four notes. It was unknown whether it was because of the extraordinary nature of the pipa or the strong magical power of the young man, but four golden rays appeared in the air, like four flying knives, falling directly on the thin Taoist.

Less than a breath later, the thin Taoist broke free, but the four golden rays were transformed from the sound of pipa strings, and they were so fast that the two men were still half a mile apart, but the golden rays had already arrived in an instant.

"Will-o'-the-wisp!"

The thin Taoist cursed strangely, his right hand still tightly holding the purse, but his left hand loosened the talisman arrow that he had been holding in his hand for some time. He turned his wrist, conjured up a bronze plate, and threw it out with his hand.

The bronze plate swelled in the wind and became seven or eight feet in size, just enough to protect the thin Taoist priest.

"Ding ding ding ding!"

There were several sounds of metal colliding together, and the golden light left four deep marks on the bronze plate, as if it was cut by a knife or an axe. If it fell on the flesh, it would probably make the body lose limbs.

"Photography!"

With a crisp sound, the sound that caused the change was heard again. The talisman arrow that had just fallen from the thin Taoist's fingers suddenly flew away at an angle.

The thin Taoist's eyes widened, which made his already thin face look even more terrifying. He wanted to reach out to stop it, but he was a second too slow and ended up grabbing nothing.

"Will-o'-the-wisp! Who the hell is that!"
