The black-robed old Taoist stared at Yu Nian with blazing eyes, as if he remembered the glory of his youth. He also had such longing in his heart, hoping that he could wield the sword in the world and become famous.
It's just that the great change sixteen years ago caused too many changes in his life, and at the same time, Sifang Mountain lost many talents under his careless guidance.
In Sifang Mountain, he always felt deeply guilty and always wanted to make up for his past mistakes.
At this moment, when he saw the handsome and ambitious young man in front of him, his eyes flashed with enthusiasm. After a moment of silence, he said seriously and sincerely: "Little friend Yu Nian, you now understand the Sword of Light" The luck that carries the Kunwu Sect is related to the prosperity and rise and fall of Sifang Mountain. If one day I can get my luck and the sword spirit back, I hope they can be returned, and everyone from the top of Sifang Mountain will be very grateful."
Hearing these words, Yu Nian felt terrified and uneasy. He has not yet officially become the head disciple, so how dare he accept such a great gift from his master. So he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and made a sonorous promise: "Master, don't worry, if I can find the sword spirit and Kunwu's luck, I will definitely return this sword to the sect to repay the sect for cultivating me."
He said this, on the one hand, he expressed his determination that if Sifang Mountain needed it, he would return the Zhaoxi Sword unconditionally.
On the other hand, in order to get a clear answer as to whether Sifangshan was willing to accept him as a disciple, he could return the Zhaoxi Sword, but this was in return for the sect's kindness in cultivating him. If the sect had never cultivated him, then there would be no way to talk about this invisible kindness.
After all, this sword was a relic left by his father. If Sifangshan had not made any contribution at all, it would be extremely inappropriate to ask for the relic left by his father.
However, he never expected that the relics left by his father contained such an important background. No wonder the headmaster of Tianqingding and all the leaders showed different expressions when they saw this sword today. They must also be aware of this sword. extraordinary life experience.
However, what puzzles Yu Nian is that since this sword was given to him by his father, and the origin of the sword is so extraordinary, who is his father?
The black-robed elder seemed to have understood Yu Nian's doubts. He nodded slightly and said frankly: "You can rest assured."
After Yu Nian heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. His master had said that he would definitely come and become his master. At this moment, he couldn't help but be filled with excitement and expectation deep in his heart.
After hearing this, Yu Nian couldn't help but feel happy. His master had spoken, and he knew that his apprenticeship was a foregone conclusion. At this moment, he was filled with excitement and expectation deep in his heart.
After a long silence, Yu Nian spoke again and asked about the doubts in his heart: "I wonder if Master can tell the younger generation that this sword was left by my father during his lifetime. Since Master, you recognize this sword, you must also be familiar with my father's life." In my chest, I want to know, who is my father?"
After Yu Nian finished speaking, he stared straight at the black-robed old man, his eyes full of sincerity and impatience.
He knew very little about his father's past, and his father never talked much with him until his death. He only left this ancient sword to him, and all other information was blank.
As a son of a man, Yu Nian is full of curiosity about his father's past and is extremely eager to understand his father's past. Especially after learning about the extraordinary origin of the ancient sword left by his father, this curiosity is like a burning fire.
However, at this moment, the old man in black robe did not immediately answer his doubts. Instead, he cast his gaze towards the sky, his expression was lost in memories, and he murmured to himself, seeming to be answering Yu Nian's questions, and also seemed to be whispering to himself: "Your My father was once my most proud disciple. He was gifted and talented. In order to protect Sifang Mountain, he was willing to sacrifice his life for righteousness and dare to be the first in the world. If he were still alive, then this position of head teacher must belong to him!
This is the case now just because the secret twists and turns involved a major event in Sifang Mountain in the past year. You only need to keep in mind that your father is of high moral character, honest and trustworthy, and is a rare talent. It's just a pity..."
The words stopped here.
The look on the black-robed old man's face revealed deep helplessness.
Yu Nian stared at the black-robed old man with burning eyes, and said in an urgent tone: "Then what, what's the pity?"
The old man in black robe shook his head and decided not to say more, but just reminded Yu Nian: "Night is coming, the weather is getting colder, and there is a apprenticeship ceremony to attend tomorrow, so why not go to bed early."
Then he turned around and drifted away, leaving Yu Nian standing alone in the courtyard looking up at nothing.
----------------------------------------
The next day.
The morning sun is not yet dazzling, and the clouds and mist are gradually fading.
Yu Nian got up extremely early and dressed up carefully.
Today was the official apprenticeship ceremony. It was a big day for him, so he didn't dare to be careless. He put on another set of cleaner and neater clothes, washed his face carefully, and considered it in front of the mirror for about half a minute. After Zhu Xiang's time, he was satisfied and grinned,
At this time, senior brother Jiang Fang gently knocked on the door panel and shouted outside the door: "Junior brother, have you gotten up? It's time to go to Guanri Hall to worship as a master."
"Here we come." Yu Nian responded, opened the door, walked out, and smoothed the hair around his ears.
However, Jiang Fang didn't notice it, so he turned around and walked out of the courtyard without looking back. He just hurriedly said to Fang Nian: "Junior brother, we need to speed up our journey, don't miss the time."
Seeing that Jiang Fang didn't mention anything about his appearance today, Yu Nian couldn't help but responded and quickly followed him.
Guanri Hall is the main hall of Chaoxia Mountain, where all important or trivial matters will be discussed or decided. Zhang Xuanfu is the head of Chaoxia Mountain and the person in charge. Although he will have to perform the ceremony of worshiping the master for the rest of the day, he Still need to return to handle other matters.
Yu Nian and Jiang Fang entered the Guanyitang Hall, but found no trace of Zhang Xuanfu. There was only one person sitting in a wheelchair, and they could only push him forward with the help of the handyman disciples behind him.
The man sitting had a pale face, a heavy look of sadness on his brows, and an inaccessible chill hidden deep in his pupils.
"Fourth Junior Brother, why are you here? Why don't you rest in peace at your residence?" As soon as Jiang Fang entered the Sun-viewing Hall, he saw the waiting Fourth Junior Brother Fang Chengzhi, and couldn't help but become curious, because usually this Fourth Junior Brother stayed at the He recuperates in his residence and rarely appears in front of others, but why did he come here so early today? "
Fang Chengzhi coughed a few times, responded gently, and explained: "I heard there was some movement yesterday, so I sent someone to inquire. I learned that we have a new junior brother in Chaoxia Mountain. As a senior brother, naturally we should Going out to see each other and being trapped in your residence will always make you feel tired. Sometimes it is necessary to come out for some air."
After saying this, Fang Chengzhi's deep eyes happened to fall on Yu Nian beside him. He put a faint smile on the corner of his mouth and greeted him cordially: "I guess this is the new junior brother, right?"
At this moment, Yu Nian noticed that this senior brother was sitting in a wheelchair and had difficulty moving. He recalled that Jiang Fang had mentioned this person yesterday, and suddenly realized that this was Fang Chengzhi, the fourth disciple of Chaoxia Mountain. Turning towards him, Yu Nian quickly clasped his fists and saluted respectfully, and said humbly: "I have met my fourth senior brother, Yu Nian."
"We are all fellow disciples, so there is no need to be so formal and serious." Fang Chengzhi raised his hand to signal Yu Nian to stand up, and then carefully looked at this junior fellow apprentice who had just entered the school. He had regular features, heroic spirit, bright eyes, and energetic spirit. Fang Chengzhi A happy smile appeared on his face, and he praised: "You are quite energetic."
"Thank you for the compliment, senior brother." Yu Nian showed a bright smile.
Jiang Fang kept glancing at the sky outside the window unintentionally. Until noon, Zhang Xuanfu was nowhere to be seen. He frowned slightly and turned to Yu Nian and said: "Master has not been able to come here yet. I am afraid that he will be involved in affairs and find it difficult to escape. Therefore. , Junior Brother still needs to wait for a while, I believe Master will return as soon as possible."
"Listen and obey." Yu Nian nodded respectfully and waited obediently, looking curiously into the distance with his eyes, looking forward to starting their spiritual journey as soon as possible after Zhang Xuanfu's apprenticeship.
After hearing this, Jiang Fang responded with a smile and said firmly: "Junior brother, you can rest assured. Since Master has made such a promise, there is no reason to go back on it. There is no need to question this matter. Just wait here for a while and I will go Find out where Master is at this moment."
"In that case, I'll thank you senior brother." Yu Nian repeatedly clasped his fists and said words of thanks.
Jiang Fang raised his hand slightly and was about to leave Guanri Hall and head to Tianqingding to search for Zhang Xuanfu's traces.
However, when he just stepped out of the gate of Sun Viewing Hall, he saw a tiny black spot on the horizon in the distance. After taking a closer look, it turned out to be their master, the leader of Chaoxia Mountain. He stepped on a flying sword and came towards this direction with lightning speed.
After hearing the news, Yu Nian hurriedly ran out the door, stood on the threshold and looked up in the direction Jiang Fang pointed. Sure enough, he caught a glimpse of Zhang Xianren's figure, with his black clothes fluttering and flying with the light of his sword. The joy in my heart is like a spring.
The joy in Yu Nian's heart was beyond words. Not only was he about to become a disciple of Zhang Xuanfu in Sifang Mountain, but he also watched Zhang Xuanfu's flying sword, flying as fast as flying, and freely controlling the sky. He thought that if he practiced hard, , one day I will be able to fly with a sword and walk around the world like Zhang Xianren. The longing in my heart can't help but burst out, and I can't help but feel happy.
Before Zhang Xuanfu even landed on the ground, Jiang Fang was already there to greet him. He clasped his fists with both hands in great respect and bowed deeply.
