The old man in black robe silently stared at the sky from a distance. In the dark blue night sky, under the bright moon, the meteors were shining brightly. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth flowed to a wonderful place, shaped like pillars of spiritual energy pouring down from the clouds in the sky. . These dozens of spiritual energy intertwined and merged in the air, condensing into a torrent, and rushed straight towards the ancient sword without any scruples.
The old man in black robe slowly closed his eyes, with an imperceptible light shining in his eyes, and then continued what he said before: "I just saw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly gathering and rushing towards Chaoxia Mountain, and I became curious, so I went here specifically to find out, but I never thought that you were still awake this late at night. I don’t know why? Could it be that I just entered Sifang Mountain and couldn’t sleep?"
Yu Nian was shocked when he heard about this. He was just a new disciple who had no experience in the world. How could He De get the personal care of his master? He hurriedly denied it and explained eagerly: "I am an ordinary mortal, and I am not familiar with the Immortal Mountain for the first time. Fortunately, I was favored by the master and willing to accept me as his direct disciple. It is really a blessing for me. I was flattered and in a high mood, so I ate late at night." If you suffer from insomnia, just get up and walk around for a while."
"I see."
The old man in black robe nodded indifferently, then turned his attention to the ancient sword beside Yu Nian, which still absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon, and asked: "This sword of yours is indeed extraordinary, can you let me take a look?"
After hearing this, Yu Nian immediately understood. It turned out that the master came here for this sword, but he didn't know what was so magical about this sword. It actually attracted the attention of many experts in Sifang Mountain, first of all the predecessor of Tianqingding. The headmaster and other peak masters were all excited when they saw the sword, and now the master is visiting to borrow the sword for a look.
Yu Nian made a guess in his mind, and was sure that the origin of this sword was very extraordinary, and it was probably much more powerful than he imagined, but the deceased father never told him a word about it until his death!
Although he was full of regrets, Yu Nian did not show any emotion when faced with this incident. He respectfully extended his right hand and replied with a smile: "Master, you can just watch as you like."
After receiving Yu Nian's response, the black-robed old Taoist waved the ancient sword gently. Suddenly, the ancient sword that had been continuously absorbing the spiritual energy of the world came to a standstill, and all the spiritual energy condensed in the sky dissipated instantly. , as if it had never existed. Today, the only thing left in the night sky is the bright moon filled with silver light and countless shining stars.
Without the spiritual energy pouring in, the bursts of light on the ancient sword suddenly disappeared, like a neglected star, gradually becoming dim. At this time, it no longer had the power to float in the air. With a "clang", it fell straight to the ground, as if the living thing had lost its vitality.
The old man in black robe frowned slightly, feeling a little shocked by the scene in front of him. According to his opinion, if this sword was still full of spiritual power as before, it should have come to him on its own initiative. But now that it has lost the blessing of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it has become dim and fell to the ground, not obeying his call at all.
Could it be that the aura of the sword itself is not enough to support such a move?
But the letter from the Song Dynasty said that the sword behaved abnormally when removing the mirror demon, and easily drove the mirror demon back. From this, it can be seen that there is clearly a sword spirit in this sword, so why has it lost its luster now?
The black-robed old Taoist stood still and was stunned for three full breaths, his eyes fixed on the ancient sword. There was a complicated light in his eyes, as if he was thinking deeply about various possible reasons.
Yu Nian stood aside not knowing what to do. He didn't look or laugh. He just thought that this master was a bit funny. He just showed his palm with a commanding look. Could it be that he thought that the sword would definitely fly towards him? Palm?
The old man in black robe relaxed his embarrassed expression and pretended that nothing happened. He walked steadily to the vicinity of the divine sword. He leaned down and picked up the ancient divine sword that had fallen to the ground. He held it in his hand and examined it carefully. Finally, he determined that this It was indeed the Zhaoxi Sword in his memory. However, at this time, the Zhaoxi Sword had obviously lost part of its original spirituality, and was completely different from the luster and glory of the past.
Seeing the serious attitude of the old man in black robes, and remembering that his cousin Zhang Xuanfu and other mountain peak masters had also developed a strong interest in this sword, Yu Nian couldn't help but feel curious, and mustered up the courage to ask: "Master, junior There is someone I would like to ask for advice.”
"What's the matter?" The black-robed old man glanced at Yu Nian and responded slowly.
Yu Nian said solemnly: "On top of Tianqing, the headmaster and all the leaders are very fond of the sword in the hands of the junior. The junior has asked about the relevant matters, but they did not reveal any information. Tonight, the master visited late at night, obviously Because of this sword, this junior is quite confused and really wants to find out the source of this sword. Why is everyone in Sifang Mountain so eager for this sword?"
The old man in black robe looked at Yu Nian in slight surprise, as if he was surprised that he could see their purpose. However, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand that the Zhaoxi Sword is very important to Sifang Mountain, whether it is Zhang Xuanfu or Ping Qiu. , or others, are facing tremendous pressure and are eager to find the Zhaoxi Sword. Today, when I saw the sword that had been hidden for many years appearing in front of me, it was natural for me to feel uncontrollably excited.
However, the accident that occurred sixteen years ago personally caused severe damage to Sifang Mountain and caused the unfortunate death of many of his fellow disciples. He was undoubtedly the sinner of Sifang Mountain and could not face the heroic spirits of the ancestors of Sifang Mountain.
But even though he was full of guilt, he still longed to atone for his sins through self-denial. If Zhenzhuang Zhenren had not seized the sword and left the clan, he might have forced the way of heaven to attract the spiritual energy that dispersed between heaven and earth. But would the result be good or bad? , but it is unknown.
Because Master Zhuozhuang seized the sword and left the clan, his plan was stifled. Sixteen years later, he is still secretly tracking his whereabouts. The key lies not in Master Zhuozhuang himself, but in the Zhaoxi Sword in his hand.
Tonight, he once again saw the Zhaoxi sword that he had missed for a long time. He could not suppress the excitement in his heart. If there were no one present, he would really want to hold the sword in his arms and look up to the sky and roar.
Now that Yu Nian took the initiative to ask a question, he was caught off guard. He didn't know how to answer for a moment. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said: "I wonder if you know anything about the origin and history of Sifang Mountain? Has Jingqiu mentioned it to you before?"
Yu Young shook his head lightly and responded: "The old Taoist priest never mentioned this matter."
The old man in black robe stared at the night, savoring the past like a nostalgic event, and calmly recounted the past events to Yu Young: "A hundred years ago, the demon clan invaded, the world was in chaos, and all life was in ruins."
Yu Nian was shocked, but he didn't expect that Mr. Zhao's story about the Great Wilderness Monster Clan was not a lie.
Among the many cultivation sects, a sect named Kunwu is at the top of the cultivation sects. In order to protect the people of the world from being persecuted by the demon clan, he leads all the righteous sects to destroy the demon clan together.
However, the demon clan is tyrannical and unstoppable, and the righteous coalition forces are struggling and suffering heavy casualties. In this life-and-death battle, Kunwu Sect relied on its luck to break the laws of heaven and earth, attracting thunder, and finally drove away the demon clan. In this battle, Kunwu Sect lost nearly 90% of its disciples, and their vitality was greatly reduced. reduce.
Later, in order to protect the sect's inheritance, the last head of the Kunwu Sect at that time sealed the remaining Kunwu's luck in the Zhaoxi Sword at the cost of his own life. This caused the Kunwu Sect's luck to disappear, the mountains collapsed, and the ground cracked. Our sect has completely disappeared into the world of immortality. "
The black-robed Taoist's words were sad, his tone was ups and downs when he told it, and his lips moved, which seemed to make people feel that the magnificent world of cultivating immortals was before their eyes, as if they could see the glory and fall of Kunwu Sect.
Yu Nian stood quietly and listened to these stories. Although he did not witness the glory of Kunwu Sect with his own eyes, he knew that Kunwu Sect, as the leader of the righteous path, would definitely be far superior to the three major sects today.
Especially when he heard that in order to protect the common people in the world, the Kunwu Sect did not hesitate to open the way of heaven and summon thunder, paying a huge price of nearly 90% of the disciples' lives, he couldn't help but have feelings for this sect that he had never met but had a profound reputation. Deep admiration.
In order to make the world healthy, sacrificing 90% of the disciples is what a great feat. Even though it was just an imagination, Yu Nian felt the blood boiling deep in his heart.
"What happened after that?" he asked eagerly for more details.
The old black-robed Taoist relaxed for a moment, then continued to narrate calmly: "Since that day, the world has finally regained peace, and the people have been able to live and work in peace and contentment. However, the famous Kunwu Sect is hard to find in the world. Some remaining disciples of the Kunwu Sect Determined to rebuild the past glory, Sifang Mountain was built here, and the Zhaoxi Sword, the magic weapon that carries Kunwu's destiny, has been passed down to this day."
Having said this, the old man in black robe carefully stroked the ancient sword in his hand, sighed quietly, and said: "It's just a pity that during a great change sixteen years ago, the Zhaoxi Sword was accidentally taken away, and it was not returned until today. , and at this moment, more than 70% of the luck in the sword has been lost, and the sword spirit is completely gone. Although it remains, its spiritual power is far inferior to what it used to be."
After saying that, the black-robed old Taoist returned the ancient sword to the astonished Yu Nian.
Yu Nian took over the ancient sword and was shocked in his heart. He didn't expect that the heroic Kunwu Sect was the long-standing source of Sifang Mountain. And according to this master's intention, the Zhaoxi Sword that sealed Kunwu's destiny was his own. The ancient sword that his deceased father left to him?
Past events reappeared in my mind like smoke, and Yu Nian couldn't help but lament that all the wonders and impermanence of life had happened to me.
Kunwu? This name always feels familiar for some reason.
At this moment, the old man in black robe turned to look at Yu Nian, who was meditating, and asked: "Little friend Yu Nian, seeing how you look like this, do you like this sword very much?"
Yu Nian smiled shyly and responded: "Reporting to Master, this sword is the last relic left by my father. Although it is difficult to express my deep affection, there is no intention of disgust. Furthermore, junior Although I have no ambitions, after hearing about the feats of my master, Kunwu Sect, I couldn't help but hope that I could learn the magic of the immortal sect, control the flying sword, and protect the peace of the people in the world. If I could become an immortal figure respected by the world, that would be great. ”
The old man in black robe smiled calmly and said: "It's quite ambitious."
Receiving the praise from his master, Yu Nian was filled with joy and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, master!"
