Chapter 9: The Sword of Xingyun
Lingyuan Shangxian looked at Li Chen and said, "Today is the first day, but your practice performance is not bad. But there is still room for improvement, you must continue to keep improving, and tomorrow you will go to a place with the master. ”
After saying that, Ling Yuan looked at the group of apprentices and said, "Rest early, let's all go back and rest." "Let's all go back and rest, and then we go. A group of juniors hurriedly got up to send off the master.
After the master left, Niu Mu was the first to speak, he walked up to the little junior brother, and said with a smile on his face: "The master rarely praises people, today the master said that you must have practiced very well." Little junior brother, how did you practice today?" The other senior brothers were also Niu Jingyun, all of whom were full of curiosity.
Seeing that everyone was so curious, Li Chen said: "That is, the practice of the first form today is relatively coherent, but it is still much worse." ”
Several other people were fried in an instant, especially Niu Mu's face was full of incredulity, and he hurriedly asked again: "That means that you have mastered the first form." Li Chen watched them react so violently, so he hurriedly said, "It's only a part of my understanding, and it's still far from learning." ”
Tie Zhongjian hurriedly said: "It's already very powerful to be able to penetrate a part, like my Rock Fist, I practiced nearly one thing in the first style before I figured out the clue, you must be better than my senior brother." Although there is no lack of envy of several senior brothers, they can't help but be happy for him, this isolated place several senior brothers have grown up together, and their relationship is also very close.
Tie Zhongjian opened his mouth and said: "The little junior brother will go out with the master tomorrow, so let's rest early." The brothers and sisters dispersed.
Li Chen returned to the room, while thinking about the first form of the leaping fish step practiced today, thinking back and forth, and closing his eyes to reminisce, although it was just a review, but he also gained a lot, so he slowly fell asleep with thinking.
Li Chen fell asleep, but Niu Jingchun on the side of the room did not fall asleep immediately. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Ling Yuan, a newly recruited apprentice, was strange, since they met today, he was able to dodge the attacks of his guards, and he was praised by Ling Yuan. All this made him very interested in the kid next to him, and he always felt that he was different from the people she had seen.
A wonderful feeling arose in her heart.
Early the next morning, Li Chen got up, and he was now waiting for the master in the courtyard, because yesterday the master said that he would take him out for a trip, so he waited early.
It didn't take long for Ling Yuan to come out, he looked at Li Chen and said, "Let's go." Li Chen followed closely with the master.
Out of Lingyuanzhai, Li Chen flew up with his master. As soon as he flew up, Ling Yuan looked at Li Chen and said, "The master will take you to a place today and get a weapon for you." It was also a weapon of one of my former friends, who before he died, he asked me to give it to someone who was destined for it. The Master will give it to you today. ”
Li Chen hurriedly said, "Thank you, master, I don't know who this friend you are talking about is." ”
Ling Yuan opened his mouth and said: "He is also related to you, the town of Kuishan where you were born is still enshrined in him, and this sword is stored by him in the depths of this Kuishan Mountain. I give you this sword at your disposal, and you must use it to punish evil and promote good to be worthy of him. ”
Li Chen didn't ask any more questions, so he hurriedly replied: "The apprentice must remember the master's teachings, punish the evil and promote the good until death." ”
After hearing this, Ling Yuan didn't speak again, and kept looking into the distance for a long time.
Li Chen stood in the clouds with his master, looking at the endless mountains and forests below. This time was different from the last time he went from Kuishan Town to Lingyuan Valley, he felt that the heaven and earth were wide, and he was so small, and he was so small between heaven and earth.
He hoped that he could become strong, strong enough to look down on the heavens and the earth, and look down on all living beings.
Finally, a high mountain appeared in front of it, this mountain was higher than the mountain I had seen before, and the tip of the mountain seemed to be holding the sky, the pillar of heaven and earth, and the closer you got to this mountain, the more towering it became. The ancient trees on the mountain are towering and inaccessible, as if no one has ever been here, and there is no other sound in the forest except for the song of birds and beasts.
After arriving at the side of the mountain, Li Chen found that there was a cave on the mountainside, and the cave was wide enough for many people to pass. But it is small compared to such a majestic mountain.
Before arriving at the cave, Ling Yuan fell to the front of the cave with Li Chen, Li Chen saw that the cave was plain, and there was not much difference from ordinary caves. The entrance to the cave has been overgrown with weeds, and various unknown plants have blocked the way into the cave. The grass on the trees was covered with cobwebs, and it looked barren and even a little creepy.
Ling Yuan took Li Chen to stand at the entrance of the cave, Li Chen saw that the master pointed his right hand at the entrance of the cave and waved it easily, and the plants at the entrance of the cave fell flat to the ground, and all the cobwebs disappeared.
There is no name at the entrance of the cave, it looks like a deserted ordinary cave, and there seems to be no sign of anyone visiting. Ling Yuan was the first to enter the cave, and Li Chen also followed, the cave was not spacious at first, but the more he walked to the back, the more space there became.
Inside, a relatively large hall appeared. After getting closer, Li Chen found that there was a stone table in the truth, and a spiritual seat was placed on the table, and the spiritual seat was written: The position of the good friend Zhang Wei.
Next to the spiritual seat was a sword with a pure black body, which seemed to have been placed for a short time. Because the whole room was dusty, and there was not a trace of dust on this sword, as if it had been placed here.
At first glance, this sword is not as sharp as Wang Shixiong's sword, it looks unpretentious, and the accident is like an ordinary iron sword.
But after a closer look, I found that this sword was not ordinary, and there seemed to be a stream of energy circulating on the sword body, a peaceful and quiet energy, as if it had been precipitated for a long time.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Li Chen felt that this sword was like a silent warrior drinking tea. Quiet, natural, and uncontested, but with deep energy, it soars to the sky once it erupts.
Li Chen stared at the sword for a while, then retracted his gaze and looked at which piece of rank. There is already a thick layer of dust on the ranks, and it seems that no one has taken care of it for a long time.
Ling Yuan stared for a long time and did not speak. Li Chen on the side leaned over and kowtowed three times, although he didn't know this Zhang Weixian, but he heard that the master said that they were friends, and they were also his seniors, so he made this big gift.
Ling Yuan looked at him, smiled and nodded, he heard the master's voice: "This Zhang Wei is a master's nonsense, although he has not had much contact, but he is an upright person, and he is like-minded with me in punishing evil and promoting good."
He was originally a disciple of Yin Long, the national teacher of the Han State, but later because he disobeyed Yin Long's order, he was almost killed, and later fled to this Kuishan town with the Xingyun sword that once belonged to the national teacher Yin Long.
Later, he temporarily evaded Yin Long's pursuit and lived in the place where you were born for a few years. It has always been to punish evil and promote good, but the injuries on his body have not healed.
One year, a drought that accidentally escaped from the barbarian domain caused a disaster to the world, and he stepped forward to kill the drought fish. But this also alarmed the people who had been chasing him all along, and he was seriously injured and chased by thousands of miles.
By mistake, he fled all the way to Lingyuan Valley and was rescued by me, so he escaped the pursuit. He originally wanted to hand over this Xingyun sword to me, but how could he accept the sword he exchanged for his life, so he promised him to find someone willing to entrust him.
When he died of his wounds, I buried it in a secluded place, and the sword remained in front of his spirit. ”
Saying that, he looked at Li Chen and said very solemnly: "This sword is also not extraordinary, I will deliver it to you on behalf of Zhang Wei today." Thou shalt take care of it all your life, and thou shalt make the best use of it, and thou shalt not do evil. ”
Li Chen looked at the master and said solemnly: "Master Xie trusts, the apprentice will definitely live up to the master's instructions, and he will definitely not disappoint Zhang Wei's predecessors, and I hope the master can rest assured." His eyes were solemn and firm, for he understood that since he had this sword, he must punish the evil and promote the good, and eliminate the evil, and use it to uphold justice.
Ling Yuan looked at his determined eyes and nodded with satisfaction. Then he said: "This sword can be regarded as the best use, and it will be your sword in the future." ”
After Li Chen heard this, he knelt down in front of Zhang Wei's heroic spirit and said solemnly: "The younger generation thanks the seniors for the grace of the sword, and they will never live up to the trust of the master, and they will definitely practice seriously, eliminate evil and promote good." ”
With that, he got up and prepared to take the sword.
This sword was heavy in his hand, and it felt heavy to hold with Li Chen's arm strength. It's cool to the touch, but it's not cold, and as soon as you start it, you feel a gentle force, it feels heavy and deep.
Li Chen snatched it and thought about it, the sword body was simple and unpretentious, and there was no decoration, Li Chen gently pulled out the sword body, and a dazzling light appeared, flashing his eyes with a faint pain.
It turned out that this sword had such a sharp and murderous aura under such an ordinary outside. It seems that when it is not withdrawn, he has no quarrel with the world, but once it is withdrawn, he will definitely be sharp.
This feeling makes Li Chen like it very much, if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, if people offend me, I will cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Li Chen kept admiring this sword back and forth, and the more he looked at it, the more happy he felt.
This is Ling Yuan looked at him and said: "Today I will teach you this Heavenly Sword Technique, from now on, you will go back and forth to the Nameless Lake before noon every day to practice the leaping fish step, after noon, you will practice the Heavenly Sword Technique, the combination of pace and sword technique can replace the maximum combat power, you have to practice the two auxiliaries, so that you can do your best." ”
Li Chen listened and said: "Thank you master for cultivation, the master not only gave me footwork, but also gave me a sword, and taught me swordsmanship." The master's education will never be forgotten!"
After hearing this, Ling Yuan said: "I am your master, and I must teach you martial arts well, this is the responsibility of the teacher." And you must practice well, and don't let the teacher down. ”
Li Chen's gratitude to the master in his heart at this time is beyond words, and he will definitely practice with the most rigorous attitude in order to repay the master's kindness.
