Seeing that Bai Che had restrained his sword power, the three hermits breathed a sigh of relief. The old man in the middle said, "Little friend, please follow me."
Bai Che nodded and followed the three people walking in one direction. After a while, Bai Che and the three hermits came to a courtyard in an excellent location.
"This is the residence of the three of us." The old man in the middle explained, "It's a little rough, so I hope you don't take it too seriously."
Bai Che looked around the courtyard. This was an extremely luxuriously decorated residence, with carved beams and painted buildings, green tiles and flying rafts, and the garden was filled with exotic trees and grasses. How could this be called simple?
Seeing Bai Che's hesitation, the old man in the middle smiled and continued: "If you are worried about us setting an ambush, you can find a place and we will talk about it tomorrow."
Hearing this, Bai Che shook his head. He was not worried about a few people setting up an ambush. Even if they laid a trap, Bai Che would still be able to escape unscathed. At worst, he would use the "Slaying Heaven Style" left for him by the Emperor of Heaven.
The reason for Bai Che's hesitation was that he was thinking, aren't they hermits? Why are there such luxurious residences in these three major cities?
Could it be that this is the so-called "hiding in the city"?
Bai Che said, "Aren't you three old men recluses? I'm just curious, why do you live here?"
"It's a long story." The old man in the middle said: "We have limited qualifications. It took us a lifetime to practice to reach the realm of Shen Zang. We can't break through. However, as time passes and the sun and the moon change, our lives are not Infinite, therefore, we need spiritual things to extend our lives. This place is not far from the Dahuang Chamber of Commerce and the underground treasure pavilion. We can get the news of the auction inside as soon as possible, and we can also buy elixirs and medicinal materials at any time, so , the three of us lived a life of disappearing and returning.”
"So, you choose to live here just for some slim chance?" Bai Che said calmly: "But do you know that if you choose to live here just for that slim chance, isn't that right? Does it violate your original intention?"
"Original intention..." After hearing Bai Che's words, the three semi-hermits murmured.
Bai Che glanced at the three semi-hermits and continued: "A person's life will eventually pass away. If a person is enslaved by those illusory uncertainties, busy and worried all day long, then his state of mind will definitely be It was greatly affected. Cultivation is not only the understanding of the exercises, but also the experience of the state of mind. So what if the qualifications are not good? Are there no examples of people with poor qualifications practicing well? Why don't you think about the original intention and thoughts? If you try, can you make a breakthrough?"
"Of course, I have no right to decide your life. This is your own choice." Bai Che paused and continued: "Maybe our life situations are different, and my words may have different meanings in your eyes, so , I’m just making a small suggestion, the key choice is still in your hands. Let’s go and talk in detail, I want to know some news about the Sky-turning Blade.”
With that said, Bai Che stepped into the courtyard.
Only three semi-reclusive old men were left in a mess outside the door. They were thinking a lot. Is this what a young man can say? Why does it feel like this young man is like an old monster reincarnated?
"That's weird, that's weird." The three of them shook their heads.
"This kid is just a freak. He plays the role of a pig and eats the tiger."
...
What they don't know is that Bai Che has already "died" twice at a young age. Therefore, he no longer cares about life and death. He can travel to this world, learn to practice, and experience this bizarre world of practice. Already satisfied.
At the same time, when he was comprehending the "One Life Spring and Autumn Period", the hundreds of years he spent in the illusion made Bai Che understand a lot of things.
Soon after, three semi-reclusive old men also entered the courtyard and took Bai Che to a secret room.
"My little friend, the three of us are the guardians of this generation of the Sky-covering Blade." After entering the secret room, the old man in the middle slowly spoke, "I think my little friend also understands the origin of the Sky-covering Blade and what it means. "
Bai Che nodded.
"Little friend, since you said that the Heavenly Killing Sword has turned into your heart, I think you also know that there is a legendary and ultimate method that can make a person's whole body be tempered to the extreme."
"But using five ancient objects to make skin, blood, bones, and internal organs?" Bai Che asked with a smile.
"That's right." The old man in the middle nodded and said, "I'm just curious. Turning an ancient object into a heart is the most difficult and painful process. Without the help of someone with great strength, it will definitely not succeed. My friend, but Is there anyone who can help?”
"Is there anyone who can help?" Bai Che thought for a while, and he remembered that Emperor Tianlu was a shadow to be precise, and the shadow should be considered a human being, so Bai Che nodded, "There is indeed someone who can help. He claims to be a god." Kill the Emperor."
"It would be nice to have someone to help me. My family is not weak at all. If I hand over the Heavenly Covering Blade to my friend...huh? Wait? Who do you think is going to help?" The man in the middle nodded, but then He asked in shock.
"He said his name was Emperor Tianlu." Bai Che replied.
"Little bastard, are you kidding us?" The old man who had bid with Bai Che said angrily: "Emperor Tianlu has fallen for countless thousands of years, and you say he helped you? Do you think we are A three-year-old?"
"Yes, it's just his afterimage." Bai Che nodded. Seeing everyone's surprise, Bai Che picked out some of the things that happened when he met the afterimage of Emperor Tianlu before.
Finally, the three of them frowned slightly. After discussing with each other, the three of them immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "I, Liu Yu, Guan Hong, and Zhang Bei have met the master!"
"Ah?" Seeing the three people suddenly bowing respectfully to him, Bai Che was startled. What's going on?
"Three...three seniors, what are you doing?" Bai Che helped the three of them up one after another. He suddenly felt that he seemed to be involved in something strange again. It seemed that Cheng Ren Favor must be repaid somewhere.
"The master doesn't know something." The old man in the middle was named Liu Yu, and he said: "Our 'Antiquities' guardian family has a rule passed down from ancient times, which is that whoever can succeed in this legendary ultimate method will be the guardian." As the master of the family, all the 'antiques' owned will be handed over to the master."
"Is there such a rule?" Bai Che was slightly stunned. Emperor Tianlu didn't tell him about this at that time. Moreover, at that time, Emperor Tianlu himself didn't know the whereabouts of those "antiques". Therefore, Tianlu The emperor probably didn't know about this.
Also, what's going on with this guardian family?
With doubts, Bai Che threw out his inner doubts to the three of them.
Liu Yu, Guan Hong, and Zhang Bei were stunned for a moment, and then told Bai Che.
It turned out that this was not the order of Emperor Tianlu, but the order of other emperors. At that time, the five emperors fought to the death and finally defeated the demons and protected the human era.
Although the demons have retreated, there will still be some fish that slip through the net, in order to prevent the demons from harming humans. Some people brought scattered weapons and gathered many people, who later became the guardian family.
However, the guardian families eventually withered away with the development of history, and some of them were never heard from again.
In the following hundreds of thousands or even millions of years throughout Taiyan Continent, disputes between people continued, thousands of dynasties and empires changed, more monks rose up, and some even realized the great way and achieved the status of great emperor. Humanity gradually Forget the ancient battlefield of gods and demons.
Later, it seemed that a pair of hands separated this period of history.
"That's it." Bai Che nodded. He admired the five great emperors of the ancient times and the heroic spirits who protected the human era. It is because of them that today's human beings exist, but most of today's human beings I don’t know this period of history during the Fantasy Period.
This piece of history should not be forgotten.
To forget is to forget the roots.
"Three seniors, the current guardian family, apart from you, do other families still exist?" Bai Che asked.
"Master doesn't need to call us seniors, we can't bear it." Liu Yu said.
Bai Che smiled and said, "How can this be done? It's not good for you to call me master. I'm not used to it. My name is Bai Che, and my true identity is the master of Cangqiong Sect."
"Cang Qiong Sect?" Liu Yu and the others paused slightly. What kind of sect is this?
"The former site of the Blood Puppet Gate was built by me in the past six months." Bai Che explained with a smile.
The three of them thought about it for a while, but seemed to have no impression. Then they shook their heads and said: "After all, the Hundred Sects in the Wilderness is not a long-term solution. For the master, it is better not to spend too much time on it."
"Well, I know." Bai Che nodded and said, "When the Hundred Sects War is over, I will gradually hand over the sect to others, and I will go elsewhere. I am still not used to the three of you calling me master. , please call me Young Master. I will also call you Mr. Liu, Mr. Guan, and Mr. Zhang."
"This..." After hearing Bai Che's words, the three of them nodded, so Bai Che signaled Liu Yu to continue.
"There is almost no contact between the guardian families, so we don't know if there are other guardian families now." Liu Yu said slowly: "But for so many years, the three of us have never heard of other guardian families. "
Hearing this, Bai Che nodded. According to Liu Yu, most of the other guarding families have completely disappeared. At least the two guarding families that guarded the Tianlan Sword and Tianyi Gong no longer exist. The other guarding families The situation is not optimistic either.
"Then Mr. Liu, is the Sky Covering Blade here now?" After a moment of silence, Bai Che asked.
"Back to Young Master, it's naturally impossible to be here." Liu Yu shook his head.
Then, the three of them took out a map. Bai Che looked at it and saw that it was just an ordinary map of the wilderness. There seemed to be nothing special about it.
Bai Che looked at a few people with doubts on his face.
So, Liu Yu superimposed the three maps. To Bai Che's surprise, after the three maps were superimposed, a red dot appeared at the top of the map. This is the extreme north direction of the wilderness.
"Young Master, please see, the red dot marks a place. This is the place where the Sky Covering Blade is hidden." Liu Yu pointed to the red dot and said: "This is a village on the northern border, called Shuofeng Village. We The three of them are from here.”
"North, border, Shuofeng Village..." Bai Che looked at the red dots and murmured to himself. After a pause, Bai Che nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Liu, Mr. Guan, Mr. Zhang... ...I understand, after the Hundred Gates War is over, I will go to Shuofeng Village."
