Chapter 14 The Old Man and the Sword
Under the cliff, the wind was raging, and the spatial cracks also exuded terrifying fluctuations.
"Uh... Ahh
With a sharp pain in his chest, Li Qinghe's eyes slowly opened, and he slowly sat up with his hands on the ground.
"Where is this..."Enduring the pain, Li Qinghe swept around.
"I'm not even dead..."Feeling the real pain in his body, Li Qinghe was puzzled.
At this time, Li Qinghe was in a pitch-black space, which seemed to be a closed space, and there was still a faint light in the deepest part of the pitch-black.
"What's that?" Li Qinghe looked at the only light in the darkness, stood up and staggered towards the light.
In the glow of the light was a brass-colored sword stuck in a stone plate, rusted on it, and it looked as if it had been abandoned for years.
Li Qinghe slowly approached the long sword, inspected it, and found nothing strange, it felt like an abandoned long sword.
The palm of his hand slowly approached, Li Qinghe touched the hilt of the sword, clenched the long sword, and after not feeling anything abnormal, Li Qinghe slammed it hard, and the long sword was pulled out from the stone plate.
Li Qinghe looked at the long sword in his hand and tried to instill it with his internal strength, but there was no response, this sword didn't seem to even be a magic weapon.
"Is this really a waste sword?"
A startled sound interrupted Li Qinghe's thoughts, and Li Qinghe turned around suddenly, "Who!"
I saw that there was nothing behind it, only endless darkness.
"Little friend, I'm here. ”
Li Qinghe was so frightened that he staggered back a few steps, raised his head and looked at the things on the stone plate with a trembling gaze.
On the stone plate, there was a transparent figure of an old man, who was looking at Li Qinghe with a smile on his face.
Li Qinghe's eyes shrank, and he looked at the transparent old man vigilantly, and the old man's smile made him uncomfortable.
"Who are you, and why are you here?" After a moment, Li Qinghe asked the most crucial question.
"Who am I... That was a long time ago. The transparent old man said with a smile, as if reminiscing about the past.
"Have you ever heard of the top ten famous swords?"
Li Qinghe nodded, "I know, those are the ten sharpest swords in the world, and they are also innate treasures." ”
After a pause, Li Qinghe looked at the rusty long sword in his hand and said, "Wouldn't this be one of the top ten famous swords?"
"That's right, this is one of the ten famous swords, the Pure Jun Sword. Looking at Li Qinghe's disappointed expression, the old man said again: "Don't look at it like a waste sword now, it's just that he is now in a state of ownerlessness." ”
"Only the one who is truly recognized by it can exert his true power. ”
Li Qinghe looked at the long sword in his hand in surprise, but he didn't expect that this was the Chunjun Sword, one of the top ten famous swords.
"And I am the previous sword master of the Chunjun Sword, but I was chased and killed by the enemy, and I fell here, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul to escape through the Chunjun Sword, so that I can survive until now. ”
"And I have persisted for so many years, just to wait for a person to inherit the Pure Jun Sword, so as not to let such a good sword be buried. ”
The old man then turned his gaze to Li Qinghe, his eyes full of hope.
Li Qinghe noticed the old man's gaze and said, "Could it be that I have met the requirements?"
The old man nodded.
"If I'm not mistaken, you shouldn't have been able to cultivate the dantian when you were young, but later, for some reason, you repaired the dantian. ”
Li Qinghe was surprised in his heart, he didn't expect the old man to see at a glance that his once dantian was damaged and he couldn't cultivate.
"But he shouldn't be aware of the ring. Touching the ring in his hand, Li Qinghe said secretly in his heart.
This ring changed his fate, Li Qinghe didn't want others to know about its existence, and no one could guarantee that this old man would not kill him because of the ring. The so-called puff is not guilty, and this is the truth.
Seeing that Li Qinghe didn't speak, the old man said again: "It's not for nothing that the innate dantian is damaged, it's because you were born with a sword bone!"
"That senior, what exactly is the innate sword bone?"
The old man stroked his beard and continued: "People who are born with sword bones will be born with defects in their cultivation talents, because the talent of sword bones is too rebellious, and the world is so big, I am afraid that the number of people with sword bones will not exceed five fingers, so it will affect the cultivation talent." ”
"People who have sword bones are born with a high degree of compatibility with kendo, and their comprehension of kendo is far beyond ordinary people. Although his cultivation is flawed, he has extremely high attainments in the way of the sword, and with a sword, he can even fight with the Sage!"
The old man looked at Li Qinghe again, and said excitedly: "And you are different, your dantian can cultivate, and at the same time you have a sword bone, you may be able to reach unprecedented heights!"
"It's okay for me to inherit the sword master, but I have one condition. Li Qinghe said.
The old man couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "What conditions, you can say." ”
"After I inherited the sword master, send me away. ”
"Well, that's easy. The old man agreed without thinking.
Li Qinghe looked at the sword in his hand and asked, "Then how can I make him recognize the Lord now?"
"It's very simple, just drop your own blood on the blade of the sword. ”
Hearing this, Li Qinghe picked up the Chunjun sword and swiped a small cut on his finger, and a drop of blood dripped on the sword body.
Click-
The old man and Li Qinghe both stared intently at the Chunjun Sword, waiting for its changes.
After a short silence, the Pure Jun Sword suddenly bloomed with a dazzling white light, the rust spots on the sword body fell off, and the color of the sword body also changed from brass to silver white.
Li Qinghe felt that he seemed to have established some kind of connection with the Pure Jun Sword, as if the Pure Jun Sword had become a part of his body.
"Is this the real Pure Jun Sword..."Li Qinghe raised the Pure Jun Sword in his hand above his head, and the silver-white sword body shone brightly.
The old man also breathed a sigh of relief, the big stone in his heart finally fell, and after waiting for so many years, he finally waited for a qualified sword master.
"Now I can go with peace of mind..."The old man's eyes were slightly moistened.
Li Qinghe put down the pure Jun sword in his hand and arched his hand at the old man, "Thank you senior!" Anyway, the old man also gave him a chance.
The old man waved his hand, and the illusory figure became more transparent.
"Before leaving, I'll give you another chance, but this chance depends on your own ability. ”
With a wave of the old man's palm, a door appeared from the void, and the old man's body couldn't help but be a little more illusory.
"This is the Sword Shrine Secret Realm, which contains the kendo experience that I have learned all my life, but you need to comprehend it yourself in order to find your own kendo. ”
"Let's go inside. ”
Li Qinghe looked at the door, did not hesitate, and strode in.
...
In the main hall of ruins, watching the people of the Divine Sect leave, the man in black frowned slightly, and said, "The appearance of the people of the Divine Sect here this time is probably not as simple as snatching the snow lotus. ”
"I always felt like they might be plotting something. Miss Yuan also said.
"Forget it, don't worry about it for now. Uncle Lin, come with me to the cliff over there!"
As soon as the words fell, Miss Yuan quickly rushed to the side of the cliff, and the man in black known as Uncle Lin smiled helplessly and hurriedly followed.
"I hope that Divine Sect Bishop lied to me," muttered Miss Yuan, who hurried to the scene.
After a while, the two arrived at the edge of the cliff, looked around, and did not see Li Qinghe, not even a corpse.
"How can this be..."Miss Yuan sat down on the ground with a sluggish expression.
The man in black looked around again, walked to the edge of the cliff, looked at the bottomless cliff, and frowned in thought.
"There are only two possibilities, one is that Li Qinghe was killed by that bishop and then there is no scum left, and the other is that Li Qinghe jumped off the cliff by himself. ”
The man in black paused, and then said: "But with the strength of that bishop, it shouldn't be possible, and it's just a projection, so it can only be the second one, he jumped off the cliff." ”
When Miss Yuan heard this, she lowered her head, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
"It's all my fault, it's me who hurt him..."
The man in black hurriedly comforted: "Miss, it's not your fault, I can only say that this kid is unlucky, and maybe he can survive." ”
Although he said this, the man in black knew in his heart that the wind was raging under this cliff, and the space cracks were everywhere.
"Miss, since Xuelian has it, let's leave. The man in black said again.
Miss Yuan did not answer, but stared blankly at the cliff.
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to wait. ”
Looking at the firm gaze of the girl in the black dress, the man in black sighed in his heart, "Miss shouldn't like that kid..."
The man in black suddenly felt a headache, but he also knew that he couldn't persuade the girl, so he had to say first: "Then we must at least go to Jinling City to inform the city lord, after all, it is his person." ”
Miss Yuan nodded.
"Miss Yuan, why are you here?" came from a distance to add someone, it was Li Feng, Li Wuyi and others.
"Who is this?" Li Feng looked at the man in black next to him with some fear, and he felt tremendous pressure from the man in black.
Miss Yuan didn't speak, and the man in black answered, "You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that I'm the one responsible for protecting Miss Yuan." ”
After that, I told the ins and outs of the matter again, and of course some things were omitted in the middle.
"What, Qinghe is dead!" Li Feng was a little shocked and couldn't believe it.
The man in black looked at the girl beside him and said, "Not necessarily, he should have fallen off the cliff, or he may still be alive." ”
Li Feng was still a little difficult to accept, "I have to rush back to Jinling City as soon as possible to inform the patriarch of this matter, I don't know what you plan to do Miss Yuan?"
The man in black looked at the girl helplessly and said, "Let's go together!" He knew that with Miss's character, he would definitely not want to go back, so it was better to go to Jinling City first and then make plans.
After a brief rectification, the group left the ruins and rushed towards Jinling City.
