Zhang Xuanfu stood up and bowed deeply to the old Taoist priest. He turned around and tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart. He looked calm and said to Yu Nian: "Sword masters in the world are like crucian carps crossing the river. Those who can make swords breed sword spirits are already talented. Excellent, as for those swords that truly contain spirituality, they are even rarer treasures. I wonder where the sword in my hand, Yu Nian, comes from? I would like to ask, can you lend it to me for a look? "
"Reporting to Immortal Zhang, this sword was left to me by my father." Yu Nian respectfully handed over the long sword in his hand, secretly wondering whether he could find out some of his father's past from these advanced practitioners. Maybe they were his father. A close friend during his lifetime? If that's the case, wouldn't his path to immortality be smoother?
Zhang Xuanfu's heart couldn't help but beat faster when he saw the ancient sword. But when he heard Yu Nian say that the sword was his father's relic, Zhang Xuanfu's hand suddenly stopped for a moment, and there was a thump in his heart, as if a string was broken.
However, immediately after, he regained his calm demeanor, solemnly picked up the ancient sword, and turned his head to look at it carefully. Several sect elders on the side also gathered around, staring at the legendary Zhaoxi Sword, and whispered to each other. Only each other could hear their conversations.
"There is no doubt that this sword must be Zhao Xi."
Zhang Xuanfu nodded slightly: "Back then, the Zhaoxi Sword was taken away by the master Zhuozhuang and then disappeared from the world. It actually reappeared in the world at this moment, and it was still held by the Son of Man. What's more, it was said that it was a relic of his father, so he was Isn’t that young man here..."
Before he finished speaking, everyone was shocked: "According to what the child just said, this sword is a relic left to him by his father. Doesn't this mean that Senior Brother Zhuozhuang has passed away unfortunately?"
The voice suddenly stopped at this point, but everyone knew in their hearts that the death of Master Zhuozhuang was probably a foregone conclusion.
Xiao Jing Shengsheng's originally dark complexion became darker at this moment. He looked at Yu Nian quietly, anger rising in his heart. In his eyes, Senior Brother Zhuozhuang was still living in the world, but the young man in front of him just got the Zhaoxi Sword by coincidence, so Every word that comes out of his mouth is a lie.
"Junior Brother Jing Sheng!" Zhang Xuanfu whispered to dissuade the emotional Jing Sheng, and then said, "I will personally send people to conduct a detailed investigation on this matter. Please be patient first."
Xiao Jingsheng glanced at Zhang Xuanfu. On the surface, he suppressed his anger, but in his heart he was deeply confused about Yu Nian. He looked at him secretly, with doubts in his eyes. If it could be proven that what this kid said was false, he would definitely not take it lightly. Spare this lying boy.
Everyone's eyes were intertwined, each with their own thoughts. Since the sword was determined to be the Zhaoxi Sword, there must be an inextricable connection between the young man in front of him and Zhenzhuang Zhenren. However, is he really what he said? Whether he is the biological flesh and blood of Zhenzhuang Zhenren still needs a lot of evidence to confirm.
Zhang Xuanfu nodded slightly and asked softly: "My dear friend Yu Nian, you claim that this sword is a relic left to you by your late father. When did your father pass away?"
"Going back to Immortal Zhang, my father has been dead for more than nine years. When he was terminally ill, his face turned pale. The doctor came for treatment and said that my father's qi and blood were disordered, all his internal organs were damaged, and he was unable to save himself." Yu Nian spoke sincerely and told everything he knew. Say it.
In the past, when Yu Nian's father was dying, the doctor was taking care of him. However, after a brief observation, he nodded and left. Yu Nian didn't know the reason, so he stepped forward to inquire about the reason. The doctor finally told him that his condition was irreversible. It cannot be restored by human intervention.
After his father passed away, he left behind this ancient sword. Although he kept it in a box, he never threw it away. In his spare time, he loved to take out the sword and dance it to show off the heroic hero he imagined. Image, but apart from that, it has no other real function. Until recently, when the Song family was exorcising evil spirits, because their lives were at stake, they were brave enough to carry this sword with them, but they never thought that it would actually be put to full use.
But after this incident, he was also thinking about it. The sword left by his father was obviously extraordinary, and where he came from. Could it be that his ancestors had a fate with a certain immortal and received blessings. However, soon after, this idea was rejected by him. If my ancestors really had an indissoluble bond with the Immortal Sect, how could I be reduced to a market boy? Therefore, the origin of this ancient sword is like a fog shrouding Yu Niannian's mind. He also wants to find out the origin of this sword left by his father.
At this time, he saw that everyone in Sifang Mountain was very interested in this sword, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder, do they know some secrets about this ancient sword? Therefore, he decided to answer all inquiries in detail, just to know the true origin of this sword.
After listening to Yu Nian's narration, Zhang Xuanfu nodded slightly, stared at the long sword in his hand, and finally inserted it gently into the scabbard.
"Xianren Zhang, I wonder if there is any problem with this sword?" Yu Nian asked with concern. He had always had such doubts before. These people are so enthusiastic about his sword, are they trying to rob it?
However, after careful consideration, Yu Nian thought that as immortals, they would not rob an ordinary person's things, right? Isn't it possible to find a superior sword in this huge Sifang Mountain?
Zhang Xuanfu raised his head and glanced at Yu Nian calmly, catching his worry from his expression. Zhang Xuanfu thought to himself: Yu Nian's question seems to indicate that we have violated some etiquette. We have held someone else's sword and looked at it for a long time without any intention of returning it. I am afraid that outsiders will inevitably mistakenly think that we, Sifang Mountain, are trying to seize the family heritage of a mortal being. What a treasure.
So Zhang Xuanfu returned the sword to its original owner with a smile, and said kindly: "This sword has no flaws, but I think the sword body is quite unique, so I want to appreciate it carefully. This sword is undoubtedly a precious sword, but it is slightly lacking." It’s just spiritual energy. Since it is your father’s legacy during his lifetime, you must keep it properly to avoid losing it.”
The younger generation will keep it in mind. "Yu Nian promised in a low voice.
Seeing this picture of the immortal opening and closing his mouth and saying some innocuous words, Yu Nian deeply understood that it would be difficult to find out the true origin of this sword today. However, from their different expressions, it is obvious that there is an inextricable relationship between this sword and their father, which also means that they are also familiar with their father.
Thinking of this, Yu Nian couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. Since his childhood, he had been full of longing for the life of practicing justice as a knight, wielding a long sword to slay demons and subjugate demons. In the past, it was just because he had no choice, but now he is about to embark on this path. If my father in heaven knew about this, he would definitely be very happy about it.
Yu Nian began to think of the maid in green at Taoyuan Tower. When one day she mastered the Tao and mastered the sword and returned, I believe she would be shocked by this sight.
"Hehe." Imagining that scene, Yu Nian couldn't help but smile lightly and openly.
However, after Zhang Xuanfu returned the sword to him, Xiao Jingsheng seemed confused and quietly asked Zhang Xuanfu why he wanted to return this important Zhaoxi Sword to this young man.
"Senior Brother Zhang, why are you doing this? We have been searching for the Zhaoxi Sword for sixteen years before we finally found it. How can you give it to others at will?"
Zhang Xuanfu, however, kept a calm face and replied in a low voice: "You have just witnessed that this is indeed the Zhaoxi Sword. However, the spirituality and seven points of luck of this sword have long been gone, even compared to ordinary swords. The spiritual weapon is a bit inferior and has really lost its use value. If it is kept here reluctantly, it is meaningless. "
"Since that big event happened sixteen years ago, our strength in Sifang Mountain has not been what it used to be, and now we are no longer able to take the risk of trying to ascend again. Even if we keep the Zhaoxi Sword, it will be in vain. We might as well give it to this child for safekeeping. And he said it was left to him by his father, so we can’t blatantly rob other people’s father’s belongings!”
"That makes sense." After hearing these words, Xiao Jingsheng immediately stopped arguing. As the leader of Yunlang Peak, he naturally couldn't do anything to rob someone's father's belongings, but considering Zhao Xi The sword is closely related to the rise and fall of Sifang Mountain, so it would be too hasty to keep it for the rest of the year. After all, this kid has no cultivation at all.
"In my opinion, let this sword be temporarily handed over to his supervision. We will send capable people to monitor it closely and secretly to ensure that the sword is safe." Pingqiu made a suggestion.
After everyone heard this, they all thought it was an excellent plan, so they all nodded in agreement.
Zhang Xuanfu pondered for a moment, then smiled and said to Yu Nian in the audience: "I guess my friend Yu Nian must have been working very hard these days. When you come in tomorrow, you can become my disciple."
The leaders of all the peaks were shocked when they heard this. They thought Zhang Xuanfu would test Yu Nian first before deciding whether to accept a disciple, but he did not expect it to be so direct. But then I thought about it, perhaps because of Master Zhuozhuang, this arrangement was reasonable and reasonable.
Yu Nian was overjoyed with surprise. He clenched his fists and said with a bow, "Then the relationship is good, so I should thank Zhang Xian first... Uh, no, I should have thanked Master!"
Zhang Xuanfu smiled slightly and responded gently: "It's too early to call me Master. It won't be too late to call me Master like this after the formal apprenticeship ceremony tomorrow."
Yu Nian couldn't help but snicker secretly. He originally thought that he might just become an ordinary disciple and join the Sifang Immortal Sect, but he didn't expect that he could directly become the master's true disciple. This was simply a big pie falling from the sky, and he himself They couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of this adventure.
"May I ask Master, do you know my father?" Yu Nian thought over and over again, and finally this was the only possible reason. This Zhang Xianren knew his father, and as an old friend, it was reasonable for him to take good care of his old friend's son.
Zhang Xuanfu nodded and replied: "Of course I recognize him."
"That's true." Yu Nian smiled happily in his heart, thinking that he could really rest easy this time. Since the two of them were old friends, there might be a chance to learn about his father's deeds from these close friends.
