Lushan.
One of the top ten sword sects, the swordsmith left his sect.
Hanging Sword Tower.
Side Hall - Freehand Palace.
In the Freehand Hall, there are three red lacquer carvings with strong sword meanings. In the hall, there are red curtains and white curtains, and ancient pine wood carved green screens. There is a coffee table and several chairs side by side on both sides. In the middle of the main hall, there is a picture of flying cranes on Mount Lu.
In the main hall in front of the picture, five disciples in elegant clothes are waiting with swords in hand. Although they are speechless, the anxiety between their eyebrows is self-evident.
On one side of the corridor, a man in white clothes walked over quickly, followed by a plump maid.
The person who came was none other than Li Luo's eldest brother, Li Kun.
The maid behind Li Kun is An Ning, who always accompanies Li Luo.
"Elder brother, how is the relationship between master and master?"
"It's been almost ten days, how is Master?"
...
The five sword-wielding disciples all gathered around, surrounding Li Kun and An Ning.
Among the disciples of the generation under Li Zong, Li Kun was the eldest and Li Luo was the middle. They were listed in order, a total of seven people. Zhou Xiaoyi, who went down the mountain with An Ning to find Li Luo, was the last.
Now Li Luo is not here, only Li Kun and five others.
Zhou Xiaoyi is the younger junior sister, born as a girl. She is usually most familiar with An Ning and Li Luo. Now that she returns to the mountain, she naturally stands beside An Ning.
Li Kun stood in the middle and said loudly to everyone: "Everyone, listen to me quietly."
Several people fell silent instantly, listening to Li Kun's words.
"Several elders in the sect worked together to heal my father and Mr. Qin. Their lives are temporarily safe at this time." Li Kun continued: "It's just that the fire poison brought by the meteorite iron hurt the internal body. They and their group may More or less, they have been poisoned, and they need to rest for a short period of time, so they cannot be disturbed."
One of the short, fat swordsmen, ranked third among them, called Gong Jun, asked: "Elder brother, can we go visit Master together?"
Li Kun replied: "I heard from the uncle that my father and Uncle Qin are recuperating in the Sword Room at Back Mountain. They must rest and let us not disturb them. Even I have only seen him once. The uncle asked me to tell everyone. , my father and Uncle Qin’s lives are in danger, so don’t worry too much. I will still be in charge of the sect’s internal affairs for the time being, so everyone can wait for the news with peace of mind.”
"What's the specific condition of Master's injury? Senior brother, would you like to tell us about it?" Zhou Xiaoyi asked anxiously.
Li Kun shook his head helplessly and replied: "I'm unconscious and the situation is not optimistic. Uncle Master said that both he and Uncle Qin had personally touched the piece of meteorite sword material. The poison was very deep. It was enough to save their lives." Fortunately."
After hearing this, everyone was silent for a long time. They all knew that Li Zong was able to gain a foothold among the top ten sword sects because of his dominance in sword-making. After all, Li Zong had always been more important than weapons.
But now that the master was injured because he was looking for sword-making materials, they couldn't help him much, so they didn't pay attention for a while.
Li Kun endured the sadness in his heart, looked at Zhou Xiaoyi, and said to everyone: "Okay, everyone can go back and practice in peace. As for Luoluo's matter, please keep it a secret first, lest my father know that his condition will worsen. . Xiaoyi and An Ning stay, I have something to do
Qing ordered everyone else to go back. "
"Yes, Senior Brother." Upon hearing this, the other people saw that Senior Brother had a solemn look on his face, so they didn't hesitate to ask more questions, so they had to pay their respects and leave.
Not long after, only Zhou Xiaoyi and An Ning were left in the Freehand Palace.
Li Kun frowned, looked at Zhou Xiaoyi, and asked: "Seventh Junior Sister, before we come back, you went to Mo Yun Mountain again. Is there any news from Duyi Valley this time?"
Zhou Xiaoyi shook her head and replied: "I just went there again a few days ago. Except for the old uncle who fished, everything else is still the same. The old uncle said that once there is news about Second Senior Sister, someone will definitely bring the news over. of."
An Ning stood aside, not daring to say anything. Two months passed. She and Zhou Xiaoyi were inquiring about Li Luo's news, but in the end they only heard the news about Li Luo's fall from the cliff in Dui Yi Valley.
She and Zhou Xiaoyi, together with people from Yuling Sect and fishing uncle Liu, searched the mountains around Gusongya for several days, but to no avail. They were afraid that the young lady and Xiaoyu would never come back.
These days, the Yuling Sect has already taken care of the funeral arrangements for its elder Ling Xiaoyun. They all said that no one would come back under the ancient pine cliff, so they should go back to the Li Sect to inform them of the funeral arrangements.
Li Kun sighed heavily, frowned deeply, and said to the two of them: "After you go down, talk to the other brothers. Be sure to hide this matter first. When my father recovers from his injury, I will talk to him again." He has a delicate nature, but my father cannot withstand a blow in his current state."
Zhou Xiaoyi and An Ning nodded after hearing this.
Li Kun waved his hand and replied: "Okay, you guys can go down too, I'll be alone."
Zhou Xiaoyi comforted Li Kun and said, "Senior Brother, you have just gone to Yongchang to welcome Master back. It's been a long journey, so take a good rest and don't exhaust yourself."
Li Kun smiled reluctantly and nodded, "Let's all go... close the door when you leave."
Zhou Xiaoyi was about to speak but stopped, seeing Li Kun turning his back and unwilling to speak any more. Just then he and An Ning stepped back and closed the door of the Freehand Palace.
Li Kun leaned the sword in his hand on the chair on the side of the coffee table. He stood there for a long time, feeling melancholy.
In the Jiangnan area, Li Zong is the largest sect.
In the spring of that year, Ji Ruge committed an murder in the south of the Yangtze River, but so far no results have been achieved and nothing has been done. Now my father has been seriously injured while searching for sword-making materials. The top ten sword sects in the world seem to be in the same spirit, but in fact they have a lot of internal strife. Zong's ability to gain a foothold in the Jiangnan area relies on the support of these sects, followed by Li Zong's own strength.
But now, Ji Ruge reappeared in the world and struck a sword in the south of the Yangtze River first. Although the Li Zong's foundation was intact, several sects in the alliance were severely damaged and their bodies and spirits were shattered. I'm afraid that it won't take long for the other major sword sects to fall apart. They would blame Li Zong for not taking good care of him in Jiangnan, which might cause trouble. Especially the Wuji Sword Sect in the west was already dissatisfied with Li Zong, saying that apart from having a few good swords, Li Zong had no swordsmanship that he could handle. , unworthy of occupying a third-rate position among the top ten sword sects.
At the moment, his father was poisoned by the meteorite fire poison again, and Li Zong relied on himself to maintain the whole family. His sister went missing in Mo Yun Mountain a few days ago, and her life or death is uncertain.
According to the Yuling Sect, Gusongya has never returned. The cliff is steep and high, and it is impossible to go down to save people. The valley is surrounded by poisonous swamps. I am afraid that my sister will be more vicious... As for luck, there are very few of it...
Things are going hard, and there are reports from other sword sects that the Lu Sect is planning to establish an army, and the Central Plains Sword Sect is holding a martial arts competition, and there is a danger that the leader of another sect is seriously injured.
How can the legacy of leaving the sect for hundreds of years stand firm in these troubled times...
Li Kun sighed three times in succession, and the cup of strong tea on the coffee table had reached the bottom.
