"Father!" Lu Xiaoxing followed the woman back to the main hall and shouted excitedly when she saw the figure standing with one arm in the hall.
"Xiaoxing! We are in the main hall now. Pay attention to your address and don't break the rules!" Lu Hanjiang glared at Lu Xiaoxing, who stuck out his tongue and behaved himself.
"Disciple Lu Xiaoxing, meet Elder Lu Hanjiang!" Lu Xiaoxing pretended, causing several disciples around him to cover their mouths and snicker.
"Hey... you guys go down first! Elder Shi, please come with me!" Lu Hanjiang waved his hand to dismiss everyone, then turned and walked towards the courtyard behind the palace.
In the middle of the courtyard where Sword Star resides, there is a tall tree standing, like a sharp sword, piercing deeply into the ground and taking root firmly, making the figure in front of the tree look a little rickety.
Lu Hanjiang stroked the tree with his palm, looking thoughtful.
"This is the sacred tree that flew from the sky when Jianxingju was established. It serves as a warning to the disciples of Jianxingju that they are as good as swords and behave upright! But how many of them really have a clear conscience... Yurou, how is the situation outside? Lu Hanjiang seemed to be talking to himself. When he saw Shi Yurou following in, he put down his previous emotions.
"Replying to Master, although the monster beasts themselves are not serious, there are so many of them. Although it will be difficult to deal with them for a while, they will definitely be eliminated in time!"
"Oh, it's a pity that I can't do anything now!"
Ever since he was controlled by someone that day, Lu Hanjiang felt as if his energy was blocked, unable to come in or out, and unable to recover at all. He asked around, but no one could do anything, so he didn't dare to use it on his own.
"It doesn't matter. These monsters are not very capable. I can deal with them by myself. Elders don't have to worry!"
"For the time being, I can only work hard for you to persist for a while. When the second elder and the third elder come back, you can relax a little."
"Second Elder and Third Elder? Master, why have I never seen them before?" Shi Yurou looked confused. Although she had heard about them, she had never heard them mentioned by the First Elder in these years.
"Haha, this is all old news, so don't mention it... Yurou, what do you think of Lu Xiaoxing?" Lu Hanjiang pondered for a moment when he mentioned the matter, and then changed the subject.
"Naughty personality, average ability, ignorant of the general situation..." Shi Yurou knew Lu Xiaoxing's shortcomings very well.
"Haha, that means you dare to tell the truth in front of me." Lu Hanjiang laughed and interrupted Shi Yurou, "Although this guy has a bit of a naughty personality, he is quite serious about his work. Although he is not very capable, as long as he doesn't make trouble, That’s it.”
"Okay, you have to go down the mountain tomorrow, so go back and rest for now... Lu Xiaoxing will take care of you."
"Yes, Master!" Shi Yurou bowed and retreated.
Seeing Shi Yurou leaving, Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes and shot a sword energy at the eaves with a snap of his fingers. Hearing an ouch, a figure rolled down and fell to the ground in all directions.
"You're so sneaky, how can you look like a senior brother?"
"Hey, father, I'm not afraid of disturbing your chat."
"Did you hear everything?"
"Did you hear...what? I just arrived and I don't know anything." Seeing Lu Hanjiang's unkind expression, Lu Xiaoxing waved his hands repeatedly.
"Hmph! Letting you go down the mountain to practice with Elder Shi is to improve your skills, not to embarrass you! If you do this again, just stay on the mountain and clean the yard!"
"Oh! Father, don't bother me! I'll change it! Isn't it okay to change it..."
"I hope you will keep your word!" Lu Hanjiang said, snorted and turned around and walked towards the house.
"Father..." Lu Xiaoxing whispered as he followed behind.
"What's up?"
"The second elder and the third elder are really coming back?"
"That's right..." Lu Hanjiang walked into the house, turned around and was about to close the door.
"Father..." Lu Xiaoxing stood in front of Lu Hanjiang, and even after being glared at, Lu Xiaoxing did not back away.
"What are you going to do?" Lu Hanjiang frowned and said displeased.
"Father, the second elder has the 'Frost Flower' and the third elder has the 'Zhuliu'. Now that your energy is blocked, you gave your 'Frost Fourteen States' to the senior sister. I...I also want a high-grade sword!" Lu Xiaoxing whispered unwillingly.
Lu Hanjiang was silent for a while after hearing this. Instead of scolding Lu Xiaoxing, he walked out of the room and led him towards the Hidden Sword Pavilion...
Pushing open the door, I saw many shining swords placed in boxes of various sizes.
The moment Lu Hanjiang stepped into the Hidden Sword Pavilion, all the swords buzzed and trembled, as if they would fly out of the sword boxes in the next moment.
I saw him reciting the sword secret secretly, waving his hand gently, and a sword flew into Lu Hanjiang's hand. But he simply waved it a few times, put the sword back, walked out of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and motioned to Lu Xiaoxing to try it too.
Lu Xiaoxing was beaten half to death by Lu Hanjiang every time he tried to sneak into the Hidden Sword Pavilion. Now he finally got his wish openly and openly. His heart was surging and he was ready to take action, so he hurriedly stepped in.
But the moment he stepped into the door, the swords just returned to their previous quiet appearance, lying in the sword box without any movement at all.
No matter how he entered and exited the room, those swords were unheard of, and even the light on them became a little dim.
"Lu Xiaoxing, my father is here to tell you today that it is not the person who chooses the sword, but the sword that chooses the person. Especially a high-grade sword like the 'Fourteen Frost States' has its own criteria for selecting its master. How can it be so? Give it to someone so easily? You can’t even attract these low-grade swords in front of you, so why are you dreaming about high-grade swords?”
"I don't believe it! I want to try it again!" Lu Xiaoxing blushed and walked to the Hidden Sword Pavilion again. Even though the swords were calm, he still chanted the sword formula.
"The east is so awe-inspiring that no demons are present. The stream of light cuts off a few feet and enters my palm!"
Once, twice, three times... I don't know how many times I recited it, but there was still no movement around me. At this time, Lu Xiaoxing was exhausted and could no longer use any more strength.
"That's all, my father will go back and find you a mortal sword that is better than the one you have. When you improve your swordsmanship in the future, you can come to the Hidden Sword Pavilion and try it." Although Lu Hanjiang had no hope for Lu Xiaoxing, seeing how determined he was, Still a little relieved, I gave him a few words of advice.
"No...I don't believe it...do it again..." I saw Lu Xiaoxing holding his left hand halfway, writing with his right hand on the palm of his left hand, and used the sword technique again.
Because he had been frustrated many times, his mind was a little confused, and he actually memorized the sword formula by mistake...
"Dongfang...the demonic energy, invisible...awe-inspiring, cuts off...a few feet of light, and comes into my...palm!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xiaoxing had already finished writing every word. He clenched his left fist and pulled it back suddenly. Suddenly, there was a slight trembling sound in the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
Lu Xiaoxing heard the sound and looked around excitedly, but there was still no movement at all. Instead, the floor beneath his feet shook slightly.
"Huh?" Lu Hanjiang felt something strange outside the door, his heart trembled, and he slammed the door open.
In the Hidden Sword Pavilion, Lu Xiaoxing stared at a violently shaking stone brick in front of him in a daze. Lu Hanjiang stepped forward and hit Lu Xiaoxing on the back of the neck with his palm, dispelling the sword technique. Then he stepped firmly on the floor, and the restlessness finally calmed down.
"How can Xiaoxing drive the evil sword? Is it a coincidence?" Lu Hanjiang stepped on the ground a few more times with lingering fear. After flattening the floor, he picked up Lu Xiaoxing and left the Hidden Sword Pavilion...
"Come again... come again... no!" Lu Xiaoxing screamed, sweating profusely and woke up from her dream.
In the dream, when he used the sword technique, he actually awakened the demon. The demon turned into a sword and nailed himself to the big tree in Jianxingju. He woke up instantly.
"What happened just now? Why am I in my room?" Lu Xiaoxing remembered that before losing consciousness, he seemed to feel the sword's intention, but he couldn't remember what happened just now.
"Gulu..." He didn't know how long he thought about it, but his stomach felt a little empty. He got up and got out of bed to get some food, when he saw a sword on the table.
"This... this is a low-grade sword! I remember correctly, I succeeded the last time!" Lu Xiaoxing stroked the sword fondly, throwing away the doubts just now, and carefully put the sword on his waist, proudly and walked out.
When no one was paying attention, several cracks opened on the floor of the Hidden Sword Pavilion...
After having the sword, Lu Xiaoxing seemed to be a different person, becoming more active in slaying demons. Although he was still naughty and free-spirited, Lu Hanjiang was not as scolding as before.
Almost no one knows what happened that day. In order to avoid Lu Xiaoxing's suspicion, Lu Hanjiang casually selected a low-grade sword for him that was stronger than the ordinary grade and not so repulsive. However, he temporarily covered up the matter perfectly, but little did he know that he had laid the foundation for disaster for Jianxingju. Seed.
After several days of observation, Lu Hanjiang found that there was nothing strange about Lu Xiaoxing. He finally felt relieved and felt that what happened that day was really just a coincidence, so he stopped worrying about it.
Life seems to be back to normal again...
Under the leadership of Taiyi Pavilion and Jian Xingju, all the sects finally perfectly controlled the monsters. Yangdu City under the sun returned to its former peace, but people were still panic-stricken.
At night, the monsters dispersed, but the ghosts came up.
Although this ghost is not as wreaking havoc as a monster, it is like playing with its prey. Whenever it appears, it will make people lose their mind and become mentally disturbed, and they may not even survive until dawn.
These sects had boldly sent people to seek help from Ghost Hall Zhao Changsheng before, but they were told that Zhao Changsheng had disappeared for a long time. Fortunately, his eldest disciple was reasonable and easy to talk to, so he agreed.
This eldest disciple would go out with his subordinates every night, and he would solve a lot of troubles. However, you will also encounter some difficult ghosts and monsters in other places, which are difficult to deal with. Those ghosts can only temporarily reduce the damage they cause, waiting for the first disciple to come to help. Even if the first disciple has three heads and six arms, it is difficult to escape at this time. I kept calling back and forth, giving me a headache.
"Oh oh oh..." As a rooster crows, the sky gradually turns white, and a group of tightly covered ghosts gather together, saying something in a low voice.
"Brother, it's dawn soon, we have to go back."
Among the crowd, a blindfolded young man with sparse eyebrows nodded, and disappeared in the blink of an eye with those ghosts.
