From a distance, you can see mountains and rivers, and up close, the stream looks like a dragon. The green trees and the mist blowing in the wind are just like a fairyland. Ye Ling and others followed the Southeast Nine Bandits all the way south, and finally came to a fairy mountain.
But when the long-haired Taoist pointed forward, a door of chaos opened wide. After walking in, it turned out to be a different world: "The world is getting quieter, and the fairyland is more secluded. The mountains are misty beyond the clouds, and the streams in the forest are flowing. Day and night. Black and white have never existed in the four seasons. Hiding outside the universe, you can repair it yourself." Yu Wuxie explained to Ye Ling and others: "This is the small world opened by my brother." Ye Ling nodded secretly, this kind of small world, It is impossible to find them below the celestial realm. It is no wonder that the Southeast Nine Bandits are invincible. Not only are their realms high and profound, but they also have such a shelter and no worries about their retreat.
Arriving at a manor, Changfa Taoist Priest and Nan An drifted away and disappeared without a trace. Yu Wuxie explained: "Both of them are men of few words and don't like the excitement." When they came to the garden, everyone first found a room to heal their injuries.
Ye Ling brought Jiang Fan and Xu Nuo to the same room. Jiang Fan said: "This place is full of spiritual energy. It is a place for cultivation. Don't miss this opportunity." As he spoke, he took the lead to sit down and meditate, closing his eyes and doing his exercises.
Xu Nuo looked at Ye Ling, Ye Ling nodded slightly, Xu Nuo took out the auxiliary elixir given by Jiang Fan, drank one, and then meditated.
Ye Ling was not seriously injured in the fight, and due to his strong physique, he recovered quickly. So, he walked out of the house and came outside the manor. Looking into the distance, he didn't know how vast the small world here was.
It's just that there seems to be no one else here except the Southeast Nine Bandits. Ye Ling walked forward, his consciousness released, and he felt the laws of this small world carefully.
He is now at the Ying Chong realm and has a deeper understanding of the laws of the world. In the final analysis, the journey to enlightenment is to master the rules of the Tao. It is precisely because of the powerful understanding of the universe that we can imitate and create such a small world.
While walking, Ye Ling suddenly opened his eyes and turned around, only to see a sword energy coming towards him. Ye Ling had no time to dodge, so he had to cross his arms in front of him, intending to rely on his own physical strength to resist.
Unexpectedly, the sword energy struck in front of Ye Ling, but suddenly stopped and disappeared.
"Your reaction is still a little worse." Nan An stood in the distance, his eyes piercing Ye Ling like sharp swords, causing a deep chill to spread throughout Ye Ling's body.
"Draw the sword!" Nan An's tone sounded like an order, but it contained murderous intent, so Ye Ling had to be vigilant.
But seeing the Tao power flowing around Ye Ling's body and the sharp energy swirling around, the wooden sword flew out from behind with a roar and landed in Ye Ling's hand.
When Nan An saw Ye Ling's wooden sword, he couldn't help but frown slightly. Then Nan An suddenly burst out with power, pulled out the long sword from his waist with his backhand, and slashed it at Ye Ling!
Ye Ling's heart was shaken, and he used all his strength with the Heaven-Destroying Sword Technique, and the sharp sword energy shot through the air and headed towards Nan'an.
Seeing Ye Ling draw his sword, Nan An couldn't help but tremble slightly. He suddenly retracted his sword and dodged, avoiding Ye Ling's sword energy.
Immediately afterwards, an invisible force trapped Ye Ling, and the wooden sword flew out of Ye Ling's hand uncontrollably and flew in front of Nan An.
The wooden sword seemed to have a will of its own and kept struggling, but was suppressed by Nan An and could not move.
His eyes fell on every part of the wooden sword, and his tone became more and more excited: "Who is your master? Where did you get this wooden sword?" Ye Ling couldn't help being stunned. He felt that Nan An didn't really want to kill him.
But this sudden change left him confused. Facing Nan An's slightly hot gaze, Ye Lingyan said: "My master is Chen Yan, the Supreme Elder of Wentian Sect Taixu Peak. As for this wooden sword, I got it from a small world."
"My master is a swordsman"
"no."
"Then where did your sword skills come from?" Ye Ling suddenly fell silent. He didn't know whether he should tell the story about the sword diagram and the man in white.
After all, this is his second biggest secret. When hesitating, Nan An asked again: "The skill was obtained together with this wooden sword." Ye Ling's mind suddenly changed, and he nodded subconsciously: "Exactly, we got it from being in the same unknown small world." After hearing this, Nan'an seemed to get the answer he wanted. He withdrew the power that trapped Ye Ling, and the wooden sword flew back to Ye Ling's hand.
But seeing his expression filled with joy, he said to Ye Ling: "Have you ever heard of the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect?"
How could Ye Ling, the "Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect", not know that back in Yunlan Town, He Zudao told stories about the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect every day.
Entering the world of monks, the Sword Ancestor who ascended to the upper world ten thousand years ago was from the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect. Later, he prevented Qu Sheng from ascending and attracted hundreds of sects in the Eastern Region to destroy the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect.
"The Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect has been extinct for thousands of years. I don't know why senior suddenly mentioned it." As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ling looked at Nan An as if he suddenly realized: "Senior has a profound knowledge of swordsmanship. Could it be that you are a member of the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect?" Nan An sighed, with sadness and anger in his eyes. Zhise: "I was traveling abroad and was not in the sect. Later I learned about this and rushed back. The sect was destroyed and everyone died. I have to live for thousands of years and cannot avenge the sect's destruction. It makes me sleepless and foodless." After saying this, Nan An turned to look at Ye Ling: "For so many years, I have been looking for people in the sect who have survived like me. The old ones are gradually withering away, and the young ones are dying. I am lucky to meet you today!"
"I" Ye Ling didn't know why: "What does the senior mean? I have never seen anyone from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect."
"But this wooden sword of yours was made by someone from my sect!" Nan An stepped forward and said, "And your swordsmanship skills are also in the same line as our Wanjian Divine Sect. With the inheritance of our sect, you are Wanjian A member of the Shen Sect!" Ye Ling was silent. He didn't know how to answer. After all, he had never thought that the man in white and his skills would be related to the Ten Thousand Swords Shen Sect.
"Could it be..." Ye Ling suddenly had an idea. Could it be that the man in white was the sword ancestor who ascended to the upper world thousands of years ago. Before Ye Ling could think about it, Nan An approached Ye Ling, his expression gradually relaxed: "For thousands of years, , you are the most talented junior I have ever seen. I am several thousand years older than you. How do you compare to my uncle and nephew?" Ye Ling said quickly: "I have already become a disciple of the Tianzong, and I cannot join the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect. Senior... " Before Ye Ling finished speaking, Nan An interrupted him and said: "I know what you are worried about. But there is no need to worry about this matter. Do you know that when the Sword Ancestor of my sect ascended to the upper world, he entered the Tao? Ye Ling, a disciple of the Wentian Sect, could not help but be stunned when he heard this.
He had never heard such secrets when he asked Tianzong. Nan'an said: "Most of the people who know about this matter are dead. Wentianzong himself will not admit it now, so it is understandable that you don't know. But there is a precedent here, so you don't need to worry. Besides, I don't I have not asked you to leave the Wentian Sect, but you have inherited the inheritance of my Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect and must be recognized as a disciple of my Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect!" Ye Ling remained silent. Such a big matter cannot be settled casually, and there are many things involved after that. , he had to be cautious.
Nan An also saw Ye Ling's concerns and said with a smile: "You can think about it carefully these days, I won't force you. It's just that I'm a little anxious after finally meeting a descendant of the same sect." After that, Nan An turned and left, leaving for Ye Ling. Ling's time to think.
Ye Ling stood on the hillside, letting the breeze ruffle his hair and disrupt his thoughts. Before you knew it, more than two months had passed, and the injuries of Yu Wuxie, Ren Qiang, Shenyou, and Guixiao were mostly healed.
Only Weeping Blood has been trapped in the Demon-Suppressing Prison for thousands of years. His origin has been injured, and it is really difficult to recover. However, he is just weak now and cannot return to his original cultivation. It does not hinder other things.
That night, Yu Wuxie and Ren Qiang held a banquet to formally entertain Ye Ling and others, and to celebrate the reunion of their master and apprentice.
Speaking of the past, Yu Wuxie said that he escaped from the valley and lived in the southeast. Because he was a demon cultivator and was not tolerated by the three religious sects, he hid in Tibet all year round and was hunted down.
Fortunately, during a crisis, he met the number one bandit in the southeast. Yuan Feidao, the old monster from Jiuxiao, rescued him. Only then did he get to know the eight bandits, become sworn friends with Jinlan, and become the ninth bandit.
Qixue looked at Yu Wuxie as he looked at the boy back then: "It's because I've hurt you as a teacher and made you suffer."
"Master, please don't say that. This is all about Huixianzhuang trying to bully others and harming my master and disciple. As long as I live, I will destroy Huixianzhuang and dig up the ancestral graves of the Sun family!" Seeing Yu Wuxie gritting his teeth like this Hateful, weeping blood suddenly felt that I was old.
Even though he has been tortured for thousands of years, what he thinks about now is not revenge, but to be in peace with his disciple, without any right or wrong.
On the other side, Shen You poured wine for Shen You and Gui Thief without hesitation, and said with a smile: "The two of you are the best in the world. Don't look down on us bandits and bandits!" Shen You said with a smile: "You are bandits, and we are thieves. In the eyes of others, There is no difference between them, so why should we distinguish them clearly?" Guixie nodded and said: "We have experienced life and death before we can have friendship. It is an honor for both of us to get acquainted with Jiu Kou!" Bu Ci held the wine bowl and laughed loudly: "It's all refreshing. My dear fellow, scholar, please don't use any harsh words. Come on, come on, let's finish this bowl!" After that, everyone raised their bowls and drank.
Ye Ling and other juniors gathered together, but they really couldn't fit into the conversation of the seniors. At this time, Ren Qiang came over, pulled Ye Ling and said: "Brother, you are a warm-hearted person. I already know about you saving the Demon Lord and my brother. You are really good. Come, let's have a drink." Drink Ye Ling Naturally happy, after a bowl of it, Ye Ling took out more than a dozen jars of Zuiyun Brewing from the Taoist Storage Ring and said, "This is the good wine brewed by me at Taixu Peak. Please give it a try, seniors!" Everyone drank, It turned out to be a rare good wine, and everyone praised it.
Yu Wuxie said to Ye Ling: "Thank you for saving my master and saving me from the siege. I will never forget this great kindness!" Bu Ci also said at the side: "The benefactor of the ninth brother is our nine bandits. benefactor." Ren Qiang said: "I didn't say anything, if someone like Huixianzhuang dares to bully you again, come to us to teach him a lesson!" Ye Ling was happy in his heart, being able to get the blessing of these powerful people, for him It could not be better.
Everyone got drunk, got closer, and then dispersed to rest. Early the next morning, Ye Ling was practicing his skills at the foot of the hillside, when suddenly a sword energy struck him from behind.
Ye Ling suddenly turned around and slashed down with his wooden sword. However, the sword energy was so powerful that it knocked Ye Ling back dozens of steps before he regained his balance.
But seeing Nan An standing in front of Ye Ling, his expression was much gentler than when they first met, and he felt quite friendly. He said: "There is nothing wrong with your swordsmanship and taking it from others. But now that you have entered the Ying Chong realm, it's time to follow your own path."
"My own way!" Nan'an's words were the same as what the imprint of Senior Taixu Feng in the Wentian Sect's God of War Tower said, but to this day, Ye Ling still hasn't realized what his own way is.
Seeing his appearance, Nan An understood in his heart and said: "It is not easy to realize your own way, but it is a process that sword cultivators like us must go through. Since you have been practicing Taoism, you must not have a sword cultivator to guide you, but Are you trying to figure it out on your own?" Ye Ling nodded in disbelief. Although Chen Yan had given him many guidance, they were still separated by a mountain.
Nan An reached out and pulled out the Dao sword from his waist, pointing it at Ye Ling: "The battle of life and death may lead to enlightenment!"
