CHAPTER XLV

Liu Yan followed the two of them to the main hall of the city lord's mansion, and the old man sat unceremoniously on the main seat, with a bright smile like sunshine on his face, which is very rare for a very old person. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the other hand, Song Muzhi had a calm face, bowed slightly, and then sat in the second seat. There was no slightest bit of dissatisfaction, ah no, no expression at all. On the contrary, it seems to have a little faint smile!

Liu Yan was puzzled in his heart, the main seat that Song Muzhi was supposed to sit on was this old man, and he sat on the second seat.

Why is that?

Is there a reason to be anti-customer-oriented?

Even if this old man has some background, he should at least have some respect in other people's homes, right?

Breaking the rules, this is absolutely impossible!

Liu Yan was thinking about it, and when he raised his head, he saw that the old man was also looking at him silently with a smile. Liu Yan's left eyebrow jumped, and all he saw from the old man's eyes was surprise and excitement. It is an emotion that comes from the deepest part of the heart, and no matter how deliberately it is concealed, it will leave some traces.

Just as he was guessing to himself, the old man finally stopped being silent in a slight embarrassment, and he took the lead in speaking.

"Boy, what's your name?" asked the old man with a smile.

"Senior, the boy's surname is Liu Mingya, Jingdao ~ 剠. Liu Yan got up, leaned forward and replied respectfully.

"Huh?" the old man raised his eyebrows, slapped his right hand heavily on the armrest of the seat below him, and shouted "Providence, it is indeed providence!" and laughed again.

Immediately afterwards, the old man's eyes rolled and asked, "Boy Liu, are you good at using knives?"

"This~" Liu Yan glanced at Song Muzhi on the side and nodded, "How did the seniors know this?" he asked puzzled.

"Whoever is good at using a knife, the palm of his right hand will have a thick layer of cocoons due to long-term holding of the knife, and the longer the time, the thicker the cocoon. Although cultivators are nourished by the aura of heaven and earth day and night, this cocoon cannot be completely eliminated, and it will accompany them for the rest of their lives. The old man explained.

Liu Yan suddenly realized, although he had thought of this before, he still thought that the cocoon would slowly fade with cultivation.

At this time, the old man glanced at it again and asked suspiciously, "Why do you have calluses on both hands?"

Liu Yan glanced down at his hands and replied, "This is because the younger generation is practicing the method of double swords!"

This sentence made the old man stunned for a moment.

"Double swords? The old man has traveled in this capital continent for hundreds of years, and he has never heard of the method of double swords! Could it be because of his combat skills?" the old man asked again.

"No, the seniors, about the sword and other weapons, the things in it are too complicated and numerous, and the younger generations will explain them one by one in the future. However, about my pair of knives, this is a little difficult to hide, and the juniors can't tell the seniors. Please also understand!" Liu Yan replied tactfully.

It's not that he doesn't want to say, these two knives are what he is best at, at the beginning due to the bias towards speed in the knife path, and then gradually changed from double knives to single knives, after all, if you use a single knife, your energy can be more concentrated, and the speed of the knife will be faster. The double knife is better in its power, lethality and killing range. And the single knife is to win with speed. Both types have their own advantages and disadvantages, but because his current strength is too low, and this capital continent is dominated by heaven and earth aura, it is more important to be powerful, at least for now, it is more practical. So when he was practicing, he practiced double swords, but in order to retain his strength and not expose all his hole cards, he still chose to show people with a single knife on the surface.

It's a pity that the cocoon on his hand can't deceive people, but he was still seen through by this old man at a glance. As for his reluctance, it was because what he practiced was the sword technique of his previous life, and in this world where knives are used as sticks and brutally used, they are too out of place and not easy to accept.

"I see. The old man thought and nodded.

"Okay, the old man won't talk nonsense to you, just get down to business. The old man changed his serious expression.

Liu Yan also sensed the solemnity of the old man, and immediately put aside other thoughts and listened attentively.

"Are you interested in the old man's origin?" Liu Yan nodded slightly and replied.

"Hehe, the old man's name is Jing Fuzhe, and he is the one hundred and sixth generation of the Jing family. The old man said slowly.

"Beijing?" Liu Yan thought about it for a while, suddenly thought of something, jumped up from the seat and said in surprise: "You are the descendant of the Supreme of the Capital?"

"That's right, the capital is the name of the ancestors!" Jing Fuzhe couldn't help but stand up when he said this name, and a sense of pride arose.

This is a name that makes his blood boil when he mentions it, the first supreme master on the entire continent, and the continental calendar also started at that time. Liu Yan was stunned, it turned out that there were descendants left by the Supreme of the capital.

"But why has no one on the mainland ever known that there are descendants of the Jing family?" asked Liu Yan suspiciously.

"This is a long story, at that time, the capital continent was in a period of darkness, because something happened at that time, the ancestor forcibly changed his life against the sky, and was cursed by the upper realm, and even the entire continent was cursed, so that there was not a single supreme master for ten thousand years.

You must know that the mainland has a population of nearly 100 billion, and of course there are not a few masters. But because of this curse, a large number of masters had to hide in the holy land, and had to watch themselves be swallowed by time and turned into nothingness. And the descendants of the Jing family, as the supreme direct family of the capital, naturally suffered the strongest curse. The descendants of the Jing family must abolish their own supreme bloodline before they can leave the holy land, otherwise if they go out without permission, they will inevitably be bombarded by the sky and thunder until they die. Therefore, only a very small number of descendants of the Jing family will be selected by the clan to go out to contact the mainland, despite this, with the passage of time, there is no longer news of the descendants of the Jing family on the mainland, and now our family is only known to masters above the holy rank.

And the saint-level masters on the continent are also in the holy land, except for the current emperors, of course. Saint-level masters are not allowed to meddle in anything on the continent without authorization, not even their own descendants. This is a rule that has been established for a long time, and those who do not follow it will be hunted down to death by the people of the Holy Land. Jing Fuzhe said slowly, the atmosphere became more and more depressing, no one could have imagined that the capital continent would have such a past and present, and the descendants of the Jing family would not come back for ten thousand years, but they were trapped by a curse.

"Then Jing Lao, can you come to the outside world to abolish the bloodline?" Liu Yan was surprised, if the bloodline is abolished, his own strength will be greatly reduced, and he will not even be able to return to the peak for the rest of his life.

"Hey, that's right, I was selected by the clan to go out to explore the situation on the mainland and at the same time procure the necessary supplies for the Holy Land. Later, I was replaced by another junior, and I went on a review tour of the continent and looked for what my ancestors said was useless. ”

When Jing Fuzhe said this, there was depression and sadness in his tone. People outside are not allowed to enter and leave the Holy Land at will, and he has been abolished from the bloodline, so he is naturally no different from the people outside.

"Jing Lao, what does the so-called dreadnought mean?" "The dreadnought is the one who can break all these curses and restrictions, and the ancestors once said that the dreadnought can make the Jing family re-emerge from the continent and no longer be restricted by curses. ”

Hearing this, Liu Yan was also stunned for a while, but he didn't expect that he was the "fearless" who was chosen by the Supreme of the capital, although it sounds very good, but this burden is not an ordinary weight!

Save the entire continent, how could he do it alone!
