The originally majestic building has now become a low slope of ruins and rubble, which is really sad. Most of the sword boxes were completely destroyed, revealing the cold sword inside. Several people stood in the recess in the middle of the ruins, as if they were in the crater of a volcano. Although it was noon, the miserable situation like a sword tomb made people feel even more chilled.
On the edge of the pit in front of him, a few streaks of blood were very eye-catching. The invisible sword box in the pit was already empty. Lu Hanjiang stared at it with complicated eyes. He didn't know what kind of emotion he was feeling, so he just stood aside silently. The few people behind him also knew that Lu Hanjiang was unhappy, so they didn't dare to speak.
There was such a big commotion in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and disciples rushed here one after another, and soon they started making noises. Lu Hanjiang waved his hand, and Lu Youyou understood what he meant, and ordered Shi Yurou and Li Dingguang to temporarily dismiss the disciples who came after hearing the news, and then they became quiet again.
"I thought that the Four Seasons Swords would get together one day, but I didn't expect that the day would come in such a hurry, and in such a way..." Lu Hanjiang's voice was filled with an incomparable sense of vicissitudes of life, and there was indescribable bitterness on his face.
"Brother, do you know about Qiu Jian a long time ago?" Lu Qingtan has an impatient temper. Although he has calmed down a lot over the years, he is still a little out of control. When he finally heard Lu Hanjiang speak, he also put aside his doubts. come out. Lu Hanjiang heard this but did not reply. He slowly squatted in front of the floor tile where the sword box was hidden, and suddenly asked: "Do you know why this autumn sword is called the evil sword?"
"It is said that anyone who holds this sword will be possessed by evil spirits and fall into the devil's path... In other words, this sword is extremely lethal and is extremely difficult for ordinary people to control, so it will backfire and lose its nature..." Lu Youyou frowned and replied, "But...brother, why did this Qiu Jian appear in the Hidden Sword Pavilion? Didn't the previous elder say..."
"You said Qiu Jian has disappeared a long time ago, right?" Lu Hanjiang smiled miserably, "If you didn't say so, I'm afraid the disaster of Jian Xingju would have come long ago... But what you said is right. This sword does have a deep killing intent. It’s extremely difficult to control, so for so many years, the matter of the evil sword has been a closely guarded secret among the Sword Stars!”
"Disaster?" The two people behind Lu Hanjiang looked puzzled. They didn't know what the meaning of these two words was. Anyway, the evil sword matter has been exposed, and there is no need to hide it any more. Lu Hanjiang will explain all the complications one by one...
"Do you know why Jianxing Juzhong doesn't have the position of head?" Hearing Lu Hanjiang's question, the two of them looked a little confused and said, "Brother, hasn't Jianxing Juzhong never had the position of head..."
Sword Star Center has never had a leader, which is a well-known fact among the disciples. Three elders who have inherited the Spring, Summer, and Winter Swords have always been in charge of Sword Star Residence. Among them, the eldest elder has a high position and is in charge of many matters in Sword Star Residence. It has been passed down from generation to generation...
But this all happened after Qiu Jian disappeared...
Although the four seasons change, spring, summer, autumn and winter are the unchanging facts. However, the strength of the Four Seasons Swords is slightly different. Among the Four Seasons Swords, the Autumn Sword is the strongest, followed by the Winter, Spring, and Summer Swords. Therefore, the three elders also have a ranking! And the one holding the Autumn Sword is the head of Jianxingju!
There have always been two types of people who can control the Autumn Sword, one has a deep understanding of the sword's intention, and the other has a tough mind. If ordinary people try to control Qiu Jian, they will go crazy and die because the sword energy will burn their hearts, let alone control it. Therefore, it is not that Jianxingju has no leader, but that there is no leader, and no one with enough strength can take on this important task.
Even so, Jianxingju was also very powerful at that time, and the Jade Pot Sect also secretly helped. Even though Qiu Jian was in the Hidden Sword Pavilion at that time and was always coveted by others, no outsider dared to test Jian Xingju's strength.
Until one day, a wizard suddenly appeared in the center of the Sword Star. This person had a profound understanding of the sword's intention and made rapid progress. Almost no one could match him. Therefore, the inheritance of the Winter Sword was already a certainty. However, this person was not willing to stop there, and devoted himself to studying swordsmanship, reaching the pinnacle. However, he was depressed because he could not develop his own swordsmanship.
And on the day when he was about to inherit the Winter Sword, he suddenly heard a sudden movement in the Hidden Sword Pavilion. The unnoticed Autumn Sword suddenly broke out of the box, flew through the air, and hung in front of this person. At the same time, all the Sword Star Residence disciples around had their swords slightly unsheathed on their waists, facing this person as if saluting! The autumn sword is unsheathed, and all swords surrender! For thousands of years, only this person has seen this wonderful scene!
Therefore, this person deservedly filled the position that had been vacant in Jianxingju for thousands of years. Jianxingju finally had a leader. From this time on, the reputation of Jianxingju also rose to fame, and this person became even more famous. !
But as the saying goes: "Those who are too strong are easy to break, but those who are kind and gentle are undefeated." This person is already strong, and with the addition of this sword, he is truly invincible. Naturally, he is somewhat arrogant, and he has defeated all the invincible opponents in the world. , without a single defeat, ended up as a lonely master. One day when I returned from an outing, I suddenly saw a young man taking action against an enemy. I saw that his skills were very clever, so I wanted to compete.
However, the young man had no choice but to act just now. Naturally, he had no intention of fighting at this time, so he politely declined the person's invitation and turned around to leave. This person is used to being arrogant and arrogant. No matter how he has been rejected like this, he will ignore it and pull out his autumn sword to take action. This man was already powerful, and when the Qiu Sword came out, he became even more powerful. Like a huge wave, his attacks surrounded the young man.
The young man's face was condensed, and he was a little unhappy. He didn't expect that despite his kind words, this man would be so disobedient! When he saw the person wielding a sword, he easily folded a branch on the ground and stabbed it in the direction of Qiu Jian. This man felt unhappy when he saw that this young man looked down upon him so much. He became more aggressive and was bound to seriously injure this man.
Above the desolation, there was a sense of withering, and it seemed that this poor branch was teetering like a lonely boat in the huge waves, and was almost swallowed by the waves. But when the two met, infinite vitality suddenly burst out from the branches, Completely shattering Xiao Se's momentum. I saw the young man smile faintly, swinging the branch, and heard a clang. The man's wrist hurt, and his hand became unsteady, and Xiao Se fell to the ground.
The man was holding his wrist and sweating profusely. He felt that the childish young man in front of him was like a jackal and a tiger. He was extremely shocked. However, the young man didn't care at all. He simply waved his hand and turned around to leave. . The arrogance in this man's heart for many years collapsed in an instant, and his whole person became a little decadent. He didn't expect that there was someone outside the world, and there was a sky outside the world. He relied on the desolation to run rampant, but he didn't expect that he would be broken under the branches of the young man.
Fortunately, he had no murderous intentions just now, and the other party simply taught him a lesson. If the other party intended to attack him, how could he survive? He bowed several times in the direction where the young man left, and his character changed a bit. He picked up the desolation on the ground and left.
Suddenly, his expression changed. Regardless of the desolation on the ground, he held up the branch with both hands and felt the sword intent contained in it. Suddenly, he burst into tears and realized something. Unexpectedly, this young man actually repaid evil with kindness and taught him. After a while, he hurriedly knelt down with a plop, kowtowed repeatedly, then put the branches close to his body with a happy face, picked up Xiaose and left in a hurry.
With this branch, he finally realized his own swordsmanship. He was stronger than before. Although his temper was still arrogant, he was slightly more humble than before. Under his leadership, Jian Xingju reached an unprecedented level. high.
But there is a saying: "If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them; if they are piled up on the bank, the current will be turbulent; if you are higher than others, they will be rejected by others." The stronger this person's ability, the more attention he will attract. Although most of them are full of admiration, they are naturally mixed with treacherous people! One day when he relaxed, he was finally framed by a traitor and was brutally murdered. His whereabouts were never seen again, and his bleak autumn sword was no longer heard from, and no one knew about it.
Naturally, Lu Hanjiang had no way of knowing what happened to this person. All he knew was that there was an unknown headmaster of Jianxingju and that Qiujian was buried here, and these things were still It was passed down by Master Lu Lan, but this matter involved top secrets in the sect. He didn't even tell his two closest relatives, Lu Youyou and Lu Qingtan, and originally planned to pass it on to the next elder before his death. Unexpectedly, the change came too quickly and he couldn't wait for him. When buried.
"In that case, did Master Lu Lan tell the elder brother the name of the master?" Hearing that Jianxingju once had a master, Lu Qingtan was also excited and wished he could carve the name of the master into his bones and regard him as a role model. However, Lu Hanjiang shook his head and said: "Of course I am very curious about this. I have also checked the sect's classics, but I have never found any news about this sect leader. It is as if this person has evaporated out of thin air... The only relevant paragraph is, But it’s about the evil sword, which probably means that someone in Sword Star Center got the evil sword, which led to him going crazy and being expelled from Sword Star Center... But that paragraph seemed to have been forcibly altered later, so I didn’t care too much.”
Hearing this, Lu Qingtan was also disappointed for a while, but looking at Lu Hanjiang's appearance, he couldn't bear to ask any more questions. He just used the scabbard to pick at the corrupted sword box. I secretly thought that this autumn sword is really magical. Although I can't say how tough the sword box is, it is well-made and not easy to rot even if it is in a humid environment. I didn't expect that it was damaged by the autumn sword and became like this.
Suddenly he felt his hand harden, as if he had hit something. He picked it up and found that it was just an ordinary stone slab. Whenever something is hidden underground, if you look carefully, you will definitely find that it is hollow under your feet. But the man who hid the sword was very cautious and filled the gap with the soil between the two stone slabs, so that the space was filled completely and was no different from the surrounding ground. No wonder he didn't find anything strange the last time he came here.
Lu Qingtan felt a little embarrassed that she was being teased by her predecessors, so she turned the stone slab over. But when he casually glanced at the stone slab, his expression suddenly froze, and he looked at the seven big characters in front of him, stammering and speechless...
