On the third day, Guo Jia walked out of the room in a daze and looked up at the sky, which was still gray. Guo Jia yawned and thought that since she woke up, she should hurry back down the mountain. When Guo Jia was heading to the entrance of the sect, he suddenly heard the whistling sound of sword wind coming from the direction of the morning training ground. Guo Jia was secretly happy: The people here are back!
He walked over and took a look and found an old man in sackcloth practicing his sword.
This old man in sackcloth holds a pure white sword in his hand. The sword is like a white snake spitting out messages and hissing through the wind. It is also like a dragon shuttle, walking around. Wherever the sword blade touches, there is often a strong air current, blowing away the surrounding air. There was a buzzing sound, and the sword shadows were heavy and dazzling, making it difficult for people to distinguish reality from reality. Even Guo Jia, who knew nothing about swordsmanship, couldn't help but feel a little crazy.
After a long time, the old man in sackcloth suddenly withdrew his sword, then swung his arm and swung the sword in his hand towards where Guo Jia was standing. Before Guo Jia could react, the sword had already been stably inserted into his body. Less than an inch from the toes.
"Boy, bring the sword back to me." The old man in sackcloth looked at Guo Jia and ordered.
Hearing this, Guo Jia reluctantly reached out to take the sword, but found that he couldn't pull it out with one hand, so he couldn't pull it out with both hands. Now he didn't care whether the posture looked good or not, he kicked his feet on the ground and used all his strength to pull out the sword. The sword was drawn out, but he couldn't hold it back and sat down on the ground, extremely embarrassed.
The old man in sackcloth didn't know when he walked up to Guo Jia and said funnyly: "Young man, your strength is too weak."
Old Guo Jia blushed and was about to argue a few words when the old man in sackcloth suddenly changed the subject and asked, "You came to sleep in my Juejian Sect's disciple's room for no reason. Could it be that you are here to become a disciple?"
Originally, Guo Jia was still talking about how to propose apprenticeship. Now that the old man in sackcloth asked, he said truthfully: "Yes, I am here to apprentice. I searched here for a long time yesterday and couldn't find anyone. It was getting late." I don't want to travel all night, so I have to stay here for one night. You don't blame me, right?" "Is there anything to blame? I'm not that stingy, but you are definitely going to marry me. A disciple of the Sword Sect?" said the old man in sackcloth.
"Yes. The swordsmanship I saw the old gentleman use just now is really superb and follows him like a shadow. It strengthens my determination to join your sect. Please test me." Guo Jia said with an excited expression.
The old man in sackcloth looked stunned for a moment, and then said kindly: "Young man! I see that you are so sincere, so I will accept you as my apprentice."
When Guo Jia heard this, he was overjoyed. He didn't know what to say to express his gratitude for a moment, but he suddenly thought of everything before and couldn't help but asked cautiously: "Well, the masters from other sects said that my martial arts qualifications are not very good. Okay, are you really willing to take me in?"
The old man in sackcloth snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "There is no mediocre talent in the world. As long as you use the right polishing method, you can carve it into fine gold and beautiful jade."
Guo Jia nodded in agreement, thinking: This chicken soup for the soul caught me off guard.
"You go back and make it clear to your family first. From now on, you will live in the sect. You are only allowed to go back to visit relatives twice a month. The rest of the time, you will stay here. I will teach you martial arts." The old man in Mai finished speaking. , took the sword from Guo Jia's hand and returned to the morning training ground to continue practicing swordsmanship.
Guo Jia has no family in Penglai Cave Heaven, but since he will live in the Juejian Sect in the future, it is still necessary to say hello to the Bai sisters to avoid worrying them. After all, he has not gone back all night. Guo Jia took advantage of The omniscient system clarified the route and went down the mountain.
When passing by the Bai sisters' cabin, Guo Jia went over and knocked on the door.
It was her sister Bai Lan who opened the door. When Bai Lan saw Guo Jia, she yelled, "Where have you gone? I thought something happened to you."
"Huh? What can happen to me?" Guo Jia said blankly.
Bai Lan rubbed her forehead and said angrily: "My sister thought you fell off a cliff, so she went to look for you early in the morning."
Guo Jia was greatly moved and took Bai Lan's hand and said, "Let's go find your sister."
"Don't pull me, I won't go! You don't know where my sister has gone. Why don't you just wait here until she comes back." Bai Lan looked very reluctant.
"I know where she is, come with me." Guo Jia said enthusiastically. He wanted to tell the two sisters the good news that he had succeeded in becoming a disciple as soon as possible.
Penglai Cave Sky, on the mountainside of an unknown mountain.
Bai Lian is searching for Guo Jia's whereabouts all over the mountains and plains. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be so concerned about Guo Jia's affairs. Guo Jia has only come to their house for a few days, but since her parents passed away, she has been Living in this remote place with her sister Bai Lan, it is inevitable that she will feel a little lonely after a long time. Guo Jia's arrival has brought a lot of fun to their lives, and she feels like she has an extra brother.
She had been searching for almost an hour. She also went to the nearby sect to inquire about Guo Jia's whereabouts, but found nothing. She began to feel uneasy. Could it be that Guo Jia accidentally fell off the cliff like her father?
Not long after this idea came up, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her, "Sister!" A familiar cry made her look back and saw Guo Jia panting and walking over with Bai Lan on her back.
"Xiao Lan, come down first." Bai Lian suddenly said.
Guo Jia could no longer carry the little ancestor behind him, so he quickly squatted down and let Bai Lan get off him. As soon as Bai Lan got off him, Guo Jia was punched to the ground by Bai Lian before he could even raise his head.
"You... why did you hit me?" Guo Jia said aggrievedly, covering the sore spot.
"Say! Where were you last night? Why don't you say hello to us? Do you know how worried we are about you!" Bai Lian said angrily.
When Guo Jia heard what Bai Lian said, she thought that the other party liked her. She was shy and happy at the same time. She scratched her head and smiled bitterly: "Didn't I go to become a disciple yesterday? Then there was a master from a sect who particularly liked me and insisted that I work with them." I stayed with the sect for one night and never came back. By the way, that master has already agreed to accept me as his disciple."
Guo Jia's bragging was serious, and Bai Lian and Bai Lan believed it. Bai Lian was surprised and asked: "What's the name of the master you mentioned?"
"Ah? I didn't ask, but I know the name of the sect, Juejian Sect!" Guo Jia said proudly.
Bai Lian, who had always been calm, was suddenly stunned, while Bai Lan looked confused.
Seeing Bai Lian's reaction, Guo Jia couldn't help but ask, "What? Is there any problem?"
"You are simply desperate." Bai Lian shook her head.
"How do you say this?" Guo Jia said with a blank look on his face.
"Not only is there a problem, but that sect is..." Bai Lian hesitated to speak.
"But what?" Guo Jia asked.
Bai Lian looked around and said angrily: "Forget it, I'll explain it to you in detail when I get back."
A few days later, Guo Jia continued to entertain himself while lying on the bed, and he gave up the idea of joining the Jue Sword Sect. Bai Lian has already told him all the rumors about Juejian Sect:
The Absolute Sword Sect was the largest sect here a long time ago. As long as they are young people in Penglai Cave Heaven, there is no one who is not fascinated by the Absolute Sword Sect. The founder of the Absolute Sword Sect was a master swordsmith during the Warring States Period, who created countless magic weapons during his lifetime. Sharp weapons, most of these weapons have been collected by him in the underground sword tomb of the Juejian Sect. However, any disciple of the Juejian Sect, as long as their swordsmanship is recognized by the sect master, can choose a peerless sword from the sword tomb.
However, just ten thousand years ago, the fifth sect leader of the Juejian Sect was accidentally killed while trying the sword with his disciple. This disciple was immediately attacked by other disciples, but something shocking happened. This disciple slaughtered more than half of the disciples of the sect by himself, and was eventually besieged to death by contemporary elders and masters from other sects.
Since then, the Juejian Sect has begun to fade away, losing its glory. If it were only for this historical reason, Guo Jia would not dare to go. The main reason why he did not go was because the successor masters of the Juejian Sect lowered the threshold for recruiting disciples in order to make the sect more prosperous, but they also Not worrying about the mediocre martial arts of the disciples recruited, he invented a series of brutal training methods, so that few people could survive this almost torture training, and many disciples quit the sect for this reason.
Therefore, the Juejian Sect made a new rule. Any disciple who joined the Juejian Sect was not allowed to leave the sect without authorization, otherwise his martial arts would be revoked. After this rule was established, no one dared to go, so that in this generation , the Juejian Sect was left with only the sect leader.
Decades ago, there was a young man named Jia Sumu who was very interested in the swordsmanship of the Juejian Sect and became his disciple. However, he ran away within half a year, and then relied on self-mutilation, pretending to be crazy, and other methods to escape the defection. The punishment of the teacher. It is said that this person would rather die than take another step into the Juejian Sect.
The rumors were so terrifying that Guo Jia never dared to go there again. His desire to seek military power was not that strong.
In this way, Guo Jia spent another week doing nothing.
One morning, Guo Jia was reading a novel using the omniscient system and yawning at the same time. It was so idle, so idle! He was so bored that he wanted to be beaten and wanted to get out of bed but didn't know what to do. After struggling for more than ten minutes, he gave up thinking and continued reading the novel. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Voice.
Guo Jia thought it was the Bai sisters who came to see him, so she quickly got out of bed and opened the door.
Could it be that that villain Bai Lan came to play chess with me? Guo Jia guessed. He opened the door slowly, and a group of strong men rushed in and took him out of the house.
"Brothers, what are you doing?" Guo Jia said in shock.
"Take you out for a walk." These strong men said vaguely.
The eyes of these strong men were very unfriendly, and they seemed to have bad intentions at first glance. Seeing that they were about to be dragged away, Guo Jia suddenly became wise and shouted loudly: "Wait a minute, I have something very important to say!"
The strong men then let go of Guo Jia and looked to see what he was going to say. Guo Jia took a deep breath and shouted towards the residence of the Bai sisters: "Bai Lian! Bai Lan! Come here quickly." help me!!!"
As soon as he said this sentence, Guo Jia was punched in the face. The punch was so powerful and heavy that it knocked Guo Jia unconscious. Fortunately, his yell had an effect, and Bai Lian walked away from the room. When he came out, he saw Guo Jia being carried by a group of people, and immediately shouted angrily: "What are you doing!"
When these strong men saw Bai Lian coming, they quickly threw Guo Jia to the ground and fled.
"You guys wait! I'm going to file a complaint against you to the second elder!" Bai Lian said angrily. If it wasn't for her being out of character for a girl, he would have made such a fuss about Guo Jia.
Bai Lian came to Guo Jia and helped him up, asking with concern: "Are you okay?"
"Why did they beat me?" Guo Jia covered her swollen face and said blankly.
When Bai Lian heard this, her nose suddenly became sore and she wanted to cry. She already regarded Guo Jia as a younger brother in her heart. She replied with red eyes: "Don't worry, they won't dare to bully you as long as I'm here."
Guo Jia wanted to cry when she heard that a big man like him actually wanted a woman to support him.
Afterwards, Guo Jia was helped to bed by Bai Lian to rest. During this period, Bai Lan came to visit him and told him the truth: It turns out that those strong men were all Bai Lian's suitors. It was very interesting to see that Guo Jia could enjoy the exclusive privilege of being Bai Lian's neighbor. Jealousy, that's why she came to trouble him today. Bai Lan told him not to worry, Bai Lian had already gone to the second elder to complain, and those people would not touch him again.
I thought this matter would just go away, but who knew that night, when Guo Jia was sleeping soundly, he was suddenly woken up by someone. When he opened his eyes, he found that all the strong men who bullied him in the morning were gathered together. At his home, he was about to open his mouth to say something, but someone suddenly covered his mouth.
"Boy, I'm warning you not to scream nonsense. Believe it or not, we will cut out your tongue!" A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes threatened Guo Jia.
Guo Jia immediately remembered that this man had punched him during the day. This guy seemed to be the leader of this group of people.
