Returning to Shushan again, with the help of Hua Yufei's swordsmanship, Lu Xiaozhuo didn't need to work as hard as last time, but seeing these lofty mountains and mountains, he was still terrified when he recalled that he had almost lost his life halfway up the mountain before. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Lu Xiaozhuo's head and back were sweating, was he nervous, or was it really hot? He does feel that Shushan is much hotter today than half a year ago, is it because it has reached the warm season?

The further you go to the top of the mountain, the higher the temperature becomes, which is not like the distribution of the climate on the mountain, but as if it is getting closer to the sun. Lu Xiaozhuo couldn't help but ask: "Is the summer in Shushan so hot?" ”

"It's never been this hot before." Hua Yufei's forehead was also sweating constantly.

When I arrived at the top of the mountain, I still saw the familiar archway and the main hall in front of me, but I didn't see the misty clouds and mist again. The once dense tree now has only its trunk left, its roots jutting out between the cracks in the floor tiles. What's even more strange is that Hua Yufei searched for the entire sword edge, but he didn't see a single figure!

"Where have so many Shushan disciples gone?" The confusion swelled rapidly in Hua Yufei's heart, and Lu Xiaozhuo's heart was thinking: "Today's Shushan is really strange!" ”

As soon as Hua Yufei looked up, he saw a golden light shining in the sky, it was a big fireball, like another sun, hanging directly above the Wuji Pavilion. He didn't know what it was, but he vaguely felt that something big had happened in Shushan, so he hurriedly flew towards Wuji Pavilion. Lu Xiaozhuo also hurriedly put on Hua Yufei's sword.

When he came to Wuji Pavilion, Lu Xiaozhuo was stunned! In his memory, Wuji Pavilion is a fairyland-like place, with flowers, grass, small bridges, and flowing water. But now, he saw a scorched earth, only dry branches and cracked earth, and the only thing that remained unchanged was the small pavilion. The Swordless Man was standing in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, looking up at the big fireball in the sky.

"Master!" Hua Yufei shouted and ran over, although his eyes were even more surprised, but as long as he saw a person without a sword, Hua Yufei's heart could immediately settle down.

The Wukendao man turned around and saw that it was Hua and Lu, and his face showed a trace of joy, and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Yu Fei and Lu Shaoxia, you have returned from Huashan?" ”

Hua Yufei replied, "Return to Master! The apprentice had already participated in the Huashan Divine Soldier Decisive with Lu Shaoxia, and had just returned to Shushan today, but what he saw was ......" Hua Yufei said, looking around again.

The non-sword Taoist slowly walked up to Hua Yufei, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Yufei! You're back just in time! I'm worried that I won't be able to wait for you to come back! ”

"Master, why do you say this?" Hua Yufei was even more confused.

The non-sword man turned around, sighed, and said softly, "There is something that the master may have told you a long time ago......

Hua Yufei asked, "...... is Master referring to?"

"It's about ......" The Wukendo man suddenly increased his tone, and every word was clear, "White-haired ice demon!" ”

"White-haired ice demon?" Like Bi Ling and the others, juniors like Hua Yufei and Lu Xiaozhuo had naturally never heard of the name of the white-haired ice demon.

"Yes! This has to start from twenty-five years ago...... "The non-kendo man began to tell the story of the white-haired ice demon to Hua and Lu in a low and slow tone, and his thoughts returned to twenty-five years ago......

At that time, Poor Dao was only more than 20 years old, and he had left Wudang and wandered alone in the rivers and lakes for several years, and he was also well-known among the heroes in Jiangnan. One day, a monk dressed in the Western Regions came to me, he had a Chinese name, called Zongsang, and he was a very prestigious master in the rivers and lakes, and people respected him as Master Zongsang. ”

"Master Zongsang?" Lu Xiaozhuo is a little familiar with this name. He remembered that when Qin Yi handed him the "Divine Soldier List" in Luoyang, he had mentioned this character.

"Yes." The No Sword Daoist nodded, and continued, "After he found Poor Dao, he only said that he would sell Poor Dao a sword. Poor Dao was puzzled, took the sword and looked at it, but it was a very ordinary-looking iron sword, but there was a barb at the end of the sword. Poor Dao asked, how to sell this sword? But the master said, "This sword will not be exchanged for gold or silver, nor for jade satin, but only if the poor road takes it and goes to the southwest." Although Poor Dao did not know the mystery, the prestige of Master Zongsang alone was enough to make Poor Dao believe in him. So, the poor road has been going to the southwest, walking for more than a month, until it reaches Dali. ”

On the night of the stay in Dali, Poor Dao suddenly heard a movement outside the house, and when he went out, he saw a young woman lying at the door, dressed as a Miao person, and soaked all over. Poor Dao went to help her, and found that her breath was weak, and her hands and feet were cold, as if she had come out of an ice cellar. Poor Dao had to carry her into the house, wanting to use internal force to ward off the cold for her, but unexpectedly, as soon as Poor Dao worked hard, his true qi was bounced back by a force. Poor Dao knew that this woman had her own unique internal strength to protect her body, which was extraordinary. By dawn, she had begun to recover, her body temperature had risen, and she had sensations in her hands and feet. Then in the evening, she finally woke up. ”

"Who is this woman?" Hearing this, Hua Yufei couldn't help but ask curiously.

The No Sword Daoist smiled slightly and replied, "She is the later leader of the Eagle Sect - Yao Luan!" ”

"Huh?" Hua and Lu were both dumbfounded. In fact, in their hearts, they don't know what kind of person Yaoluan should be, they only know that he must be an extraordinary person.

The Swordless Daoist continued: "But at that time, Poor Dao didn't know her, and she wasn't the sect leader yet. After she woke up, she was silent all day, no matter what Poor Dao asked her, she didn't answer, just stared at the iron sword in Poor Dao's hand. Poor Dao is already a swordsman, of course, he can't leave this woman who has just recovered from a serious illness alone, so he has to stay in Dali until she is willing to speak. ”

"Did she speak later?" Lu Xiaozhuo asked.

The No Sword Dao man nodded and said, "Three days later, she finally said the first thing to Poor Dao, which was to ask Poor Dao, where did this iron sword come from?" Poor Dao told her the truth. I didn't want her to hear it, so she knelt on the ground all of a sudden, bowed her head, and shouted on her lips, begging the poor to save her Miao Jiang Cangsheng! ’”

"This ......" Hua and Lu couldn't believe their ears. If they weren't a non-kendo person now, but someone else told them such a story, they would definitely scoff at it, but now it's a non-kendo person telling it, so they have to believe it, but they still can't understand in their hearts, what is going on with all this?

The non-sword people also knew that Hua and Lu must be full of question marks now, so they said to them carefully: "It turns out that there was a demon in Miao Jiang at that time. No one knows where she came from, only that she is a white-haired old woman who specializes in hurting people with her cold and cold anger, so she is called a white-haired ice demon. This Ice Demon Cultivation is a kind of evil martial art that can use the true qi in the body to stimulate the frost qi to hurt people, if the skill is profound, it can even call the wind and rain, which can be called invincible in the world. However, every time the exerciser exercises, he will leave cold qi in his body, and over time, if he has too much cold energy, he will hurt himself. In order to reconcile his body temperature, the white-haired ice demon sucked the blood of living people, causing panic among the entire Miao Jiang people. Miao Jiang is the base camp of the Eagle Sect, and of course the Eagle Sect cannot sit idly by. But the white-haired ice demon's martial arts were too high, and the killing was invisible, so the Eagle Sect suffered heavy losses because of this, so he had to go to Master Pope Sang. ”

Hearing this, Hua and Lu had a little eyebrows: "In order to get rid of the white-haired ice demon, the Eagle Sect found Master Zongsang, and Master Zongsang found you?" ”

The Swordless Man replied, "To be exact, Master Zongsang has found two people. He first saw Yao Luan, who had a unique physique, among the tens of thousands of members of the Eagle Sect, and identified her as a once-in-a-century saint of the Eagle Sect, who was born resistant to cold and could heal injuries and illnesses on her own; Next, Master Zongsang instructed Yaoluan to find the person holding the iron sword, and at the same time, he gave the iron sword to the poor road. In this way, Yaoluan found the poor way. In Master Zongsang's opinion, only if the two of us join forces, with Yaoluan's Eagle Sect Holy Skill and Poor Dao's Wudang Sword Technique, can we defeat the Ice Demon. Before meeting Poor Dao, Yaoluan should have fought with the Ice Demon, so he was cold. ”

Hua Yufei took the opportunity to ask, "Then later, is it true that Master and Yao Luan joined forces to defeat the white-haired Ice Demon?" ”

The No Kendo Man didn't answer immediately this time, because the scene from more than twenty years ago was unfolding in front of his eyes, and thinking about it, he said slowly: "Later, the two of us have always fought side by side. After four years, he traveled all over the north and south of the river, or on the top of Mount Tai, or at the bottom of Chaohu Lake. When Poor Dao confronted the Ice Demon head-on with an iron sword, Yao Luan protected the body of Poor Dao's fortune; When the poor road was injured by the ice demon, Yaoluan repelled the cold and healed the poor road. fought like this many times, and finally defeated the white-haired ice demon in Taihu Lake. It's just a pity......" As he spoke, the No Sword Daoist couldn't help but sigh, "At that time, the white-haired ice demon had an ice protection body, and she was already close to immortality, and we couldn't kill her, so we could only use the Eagle Sect's Nine Eagle Centering Technique to trap her in a cave in Taihu Lake, so that she could no longer harm the human world." ”

Speaking of this, the voice of the non-sword dao man became low: "After this battle, the skills of Poor Dao and Yao Luan have been greatly improved. In the following years, Poor Dao relied on that iron sword to fight all over the south of the Yangtze River, and was known as the 'No. 1 Sword in the World', while Yaoluan became the new leader of the Eagle Sect because of his great achievement in defeating the white-haired Ice Demon. During this time, neither of us had any contact. It wasn't until ten years later that I discovered the whereabouts of the Panacea Blood Crystal. ”

"Ten Thousand Soul Blood Crystals?" Hua and Lu asked at the same time.

The Wu Kendo person said: "In addition to the cold qi that will reside in the body of the exerciser, causing the exerciser to use the active blood to reconcile, there is also a major drawback, that is, the cold qi during the exercise has a backlash on the exerciser himself, and the stronger the effort, the greater the backlash, which also makes the white-haired ice demon unable to use too strong cold-inducing demonic skill." For this reason, the Ice Demon had planned to refine a magic stone with the blood of 10,000 living beings to counteract the backlash of the cold qi, which was the Ten Thousand Souls Blood Crystal. Although we eventually trapped the Ice Demon, the Ten Thousand Soul Blood Crystals were nowhere to be found. Ten years later, the Eagle Cult launched a major attack on the Central Plains. Poor Dao found that the skills of the Eagle Sect members had increased several times compared to ten years ago, and he felt that something was wrong. So, Poor Dao went to the Eagle Sect Altar alone to find out. After a fierce battle, Poor Dao finally broke into the Eagle King Hall of the Eagle Sect, and saw a blood-red stone crystal placed in the center of the main hall, radiant and radiant, exuding a warm atmosphere, so he concluded that this was the Ten Thousand Souls Blood Crystal that had been missing for many years! ”

When Hua Yufei heard this, he suddenly felt angry in his heart: "So, it was Yao Luan who took the white-haired Ice Demon's Ten Thousand Soul Blood Crystal and took it for himself?" ”

The non-sword Daoist was still very calm, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "At that time, Poor Dao also questioned Yaoluan like this. She only replied that she was acting on orders. Poor Dao could no longer allow her to borrow the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Crystal to cultivate evil skills for the Eagle Sect, so he took away the spirit stone. ”

Lu Xiaozhuo asked: "The seniors finally faced each other with Yaoluan's sword?" ”

The No Sword Daoist shook his head: "Poor Dao also thought that he was going to fight her, but he found that she had lost all her martial arts. ”

Hua and Lu both shouted: "Lost all your martial arts? ”

The Wukendao man said: "Because their Eagle Sect's martial arts must keep the body of a child, and she has already given birth to a daughter at that time, named Bi Ling, that is, the second princess of the Eagle Sect." ”

Hua Yufei suddenly realized: "It turns out that the second princess of the Eagle Sect was born to Yaoluan, no wonder Yaoluan has never shown her head for many years, and all affairs are handled by the chief manager Mingfeng, just for fear that outsiders will know the secret that she has no martial arts." ”

Lu Xiaozhuo said: "Over the years, the Eagle Sect has provoked many times and despised the Central Plains martial arts. If the predecessors make Yaoluan's secret public, I am afraid that the Eagle Sect will have no shame to come to the Central Plains again. But you didn't do that. ”

The non-kendo man didn't say anything, just sighed.

Lu Xiaozhuo then asked, "What happened to that Ten Thousand Souls Blood Crystal?" ”

The Swordless Daoist replied: "After the Poor Dao took away the Ten Thousand Soul Blood Crystal from the Eagle Sect, I wanted to destroy it, but this Spirit Stone has gathered nearly ten thousand living beings, and the spiritual power is very high, and it cannot be destroyed with the internal force of the Poor Dao. In order to prevent it from being used by demons again, Poor Dao carried it with him. After another year, suddenly Taihu Lake moved, and the withered vines that imprisoned the white-haired ice demon began to loosen, and the ice demon had a great tendency to make a comeback. After thinking twice, Poor Dao plunged the iron sword in his hand into the bottom of the lake. Because the sword has a barb, it can be nailed to the vine root, which suppresses the ice demon again. ”

Hua Yufei said: "It turns out that the rumored master in the rivers and lakes originally sank his sword at the bottom of Taihu Lake because of this. ”

"Yes. After sinking the sword, Poor Dao had no intention of competing with the heroes of Jiangnan for fame and profit, so he brought the Ten Thousand Souls Blood Crystal to this deep mountain. In order to suppress the heat of the spirit stone, Poor Dao began to cultivate Tai Chi True Qi, which led to the Tai Chi Sword and the Shushan Swordsman School. In the past ten years, the heat of the spirit stone has always been suppressed by the poor dao, and it has not shown abnormality, but in the past few months......" the non-sword dao man said halfway, and raised his hand to the sky, "Look, that is the current Ten Thousand Soul Blood Crystal!" ”

Hua and Lu looked in the direction pointed by the non-sword man, it was the dazzling fireball, as if it was still burning, and it was indeed the source of blazing heat!

"Recently, the heat of this stone has been increasing day by day, and it is no longer easy to suppress by the poor road. There can only be one reason for this, and that is that the white-haired ice demon has reappeared! ”

Hua and Lu were shocked. Although they didn't know what the white-haired ice demon really looked like, they could already feel fear from the melancholy eyes of the non-sword people.

"The Ten Thousand Souls Blood Crystal is refined by the Ice Demon to relieve the cold in the body, so it is mutually induced by the Ice Demon. The stronger the ice demon's cold qi, the stronger the spirit stone's heat. Originally, the ice demon was imprisoned at the bottom of Taihu Lake, and the cold qi was weak, so the spirit stone was not active, but now that the spirit stone is heating up, the ice demon must have appeared, and he has released a lot of cold qi, thinking that he has already fought with someone. Back then, it was Poor Dao and Yao Luan who worked together to defeat the Ice Demon and trapped her for more than 20 years, she hated us to the bone, and she was bound to seek revenge on Poor Dao. Besides, she can also sense the location of the spirit stone, and it is only a matter of time before she comes to Shu Mountain. ”

Hua Yufei immediately clenched the sword in his hand and said loudly, "Please rest assured, Master!" The apprentice swears to protect the master and the safety of Shushan! ”

"Count me Lu Xiaozhuo too!"

But the non-sword-free man shook his head and said, "You don't know how powerful that white-haired ice demon is. The teacher did not want to see the Shushan disciples suffer because of this, so before you returned, he had sent all the Shushan disciples down the mountain, hoping that they could escape this catastrophe. ”

Hua Yufei asked, "What about Master himself?" ”

The non-sword Taoist smiled slightly and said, "Originally, I didn't know what to do as a teacher, but when I saw the two of you, I had a way." The two of you are returning at this time, and this may be providence! ”

"Master, please command! As long as you can help the master, you will never give up! ”

The non-kendo man still had a smile on his face. He patted Hua Yufei on the shoulder again and said, "Yufei, you don't have to worry about being a teacher!" As he spoke, he pointed to the Ten Thousand Souls Blood Crystal, "That's what you should be worried about!" We must not let the Ten Thousand Soul Blood Crystals fall into the hands of the Ice Demon again! If the teacher does his best, he should be able to suppress the spirit stone so that it will not be sensed by the ice demon for the time being. At that time, you and Lu Shaoxia immediately took the spirit stone down the mountain, and hid as far as they could. first escaped the ice demon, and then found a way to go to Tubo, find Master Zongsang, and see what he could do. ”

Hua Yufei looked at the Ten Thousand Souls Blood Crystal, and then at the No Sword Dao people. In Hua Yufei's memory, the non-sword man has always been a carefree, fairy-like figure, the pillar of Shushan, and the pillar of Hua Yufei. But now, the eyes of the non-kendo people are full of anxiety. Hua Yufei asked, "Isn't Master leaving?" ”

The No Sword Daoist continued to smile and said, "As a teacher, you are destined to fight to the death with that ice demon!" Besides, if you are a teacher in Shushan for a moment, you can hold off the ice demon for a moment, and you can have more time to escape. ”

"No way!" Hua Yufei finally couldn't help but shout loudly, "If Master uses all his strength to calm the heat of the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Crystal, how can he still have the strength to deal with the white-haired Ice Demon?" How could the apprentice ignore the master and escape alone? ”

The no sword path man sighed helplessly, looked at Hua Yufei, and said, "Yufei! Time flies, and think you've been on the mountain for ten years. In the past ten years, you have been diligent in cultivating your body and mind, practicing martial arts, no matter the cold or summer, you have never stopped, and you are very pleased to see that you have today's cultivation. Although you want to leave as a teacher and leave Shushan, as long as you can remember the words of a teacher, the teacher will be by your side, and Shushan will be in your heart! I believe that one day, you will come out of the blue and revive the Shushan Swordsman School! You are the first disciple of my Shushan Swordsman Sect, and you are also the most trusted disciple of the teacher. But for now, your mission is to guard the Ten Thousand Soul Blood Crystal, as well as your own life! ”

Hua Yufei burst into tears at the words of the non-sword man. He knelt down on his legs, his lips began to tremble, and his voice began to sob: "For ten years, Master has treated me like a father and son!" Master's earnest teachings are always in the hearts of the disciples! I also know the importance of the Ten Thousand Soul Blood Crystal, but if I want to abandon my master and leave, I will ...... apprentice" Hua Yufei was so choked that he couldn't go any further.

The Kendodo man slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and didn't say anything more. He turned around and slowly raised his hands to face the Ten Thousand Soul Blood Crystal, which was still radiant. At this time, Hua and Lu felt a gust of wind blowing around them, and the withered yellow leaves on the ground were rolled up. The wind grew stronger and stronger until the air around them was rushing towards the great fireball. The light of the fireball gradually dimmed as the wind speed increased, as if the flame had been blown out. The face of the non-kendo man twitched, his brow furrowed, his lips closed, and even his hair and beard floated up. The wind speed reached the extreme, and Hua and Lu couldn't open their eyes anymore and had to hold their heads. But the heat is gone. When the wind stopped again, the large fireball disappeared and was replaced by a red stone crystal the size of a pomegranate, which slowly fell. This is what the Ten Thousand Souls Blood Crystal originally looked like.

The non-sword-free man wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then gently inhaled it with his hand, and the spirit stone flew into his palm. He turned around and handed the spirit stone to Hua Yufei and said, "Yu Fei, you must not let this spirit stone fall into the hands of the Ice Demon!" Remember! Remember! ”

The tears on Hua Yufei's face hadn't been wiped away. He took the Ten Thousand Souls Blood Crystal with trembling hands, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he didn't know what to say: "Master, I ......"

At this time, the Wukendao man suddenly turned his head, stared at the southwest direction, frowned, and said, "She has come!" Then he said sharply to Hua and Lu, "You guys go quickly!" ”

Hua Yufei stood up and wanted to say something more, but the no sword path person had time to listen again. I saw a wave of dust, and another gust of wind blew Hua and Lu out of Wuji Pavilion in one breath, all the way to the foot of Shu Mountain. When Lu Xiaozhuo came to Wuji Pavilion for the first time, he was also sent down the mountain like this.

When Hua Yufei came to his senses, he was already thousands of miles away from the non-sword Dao people, and only the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Crystal was still in his hands. "Master!" He shouted loudly and frantically, and ran straight towards the Infinite Pavilion.

Lu Xiaozhuo hugged Hua Yufei and said, "Brother Hua! Don't be impulsive! If you really care about your predecessors, you must keep this Ten Thousand Soul Blood Crystal! ”

After Hua Yufei heard this, he stopped, but his heart hurt even more. He was silent for a moment, and finally swallowed his last tears. He clenched the spirit stone in his hand, faced the direction of Wuji Pavilion, knelt down again, and said, "Master! In vain, I swear to the death that I will not let the ice demon get the Ten Thousand Soul Blood Crystal! Master, please take care, and the apprentice will say goodbye! After saying that, he fell to the ground with his hands and knocked his head three times in a row.

In the end, Hua Yufei wiped away the tears on his face, put away the Ten Thousand Souls Blood Crystal, lifted the sword, and together with Lu Xiaozhuo, he resolutely embarked on a new journey.
