Chapter 580: Ancient Sword Soul
After he jumped out, he grabbed a copper basin out of nowhere, and there was still water in it, he grabbed a handful of it indiscriminately, and washed the mud on his face, but he couldn't wash it layer by layer, making his face horizontal and vertical, which looked even more weird. He grabbed Gu Yan's wrist and shouted, "Let's go, find your master to reason!" "He looks like a crazy old madman.
But Gu Yan didn't have the slightest hint of teasing, on the contrary, in her mind, a trace of vigilance rose quickly, and the spiritual power of the whole body was adjusted to the peak in an instant, this old man grabbed it like a whimsy and locked his wrist firmly, so that she didn't have the slightest power to resist, not even the slightest chance to invoke the fire spirit, or destroy the magic weapon!
The person in front of him is clearly a major repair of a Yuan Ying Xiu. Gu Yan couldn't feel the existence of any aura from his body, but it was like this, but she didn't dare to despise it in her heart. Could it be that this is also one of the Four Sword Venerables?
She was powerless to fight back, so she simply collected all the aura in her body, and said respectfully: "The junior surnamed Gu is from Yunze, and he is ready to enter the sword washing pool for trial, I don't know what the seniors want to call him?" ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, "Are you that little girl from the Bixia Sect?" ”
Gu Yan nodded, and couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, it turned out that Ye Yunting was really right, there were really many people in the Hidden Sword Villa who knew their names.
The old man touched the beard on his face that was indistinguishable, and suddenly daxiao got up, flew up a few feet, and kicked away the pile of things around Gu Yan, which were all scrap copper and rotten iron, and made a clearing, and he didn't know where he took out two futons and threw them on the ground, not mentioning what happened just now, "Sit!" ”
Gu Yan sat down honestly, "Haven't asked the name of the senior?" ”
The old man waved his hand, "My surname is Mo, and my name is away." Later, Master changed my name and added a cloud character in the middle, but it still reads awkwardly, so that name. You still don't want to scream. ”
Gu Yan suddenly stood up, "It turned out to be Yunli Sword Venerable, disrespectful!" ”
Mo Li said unhappily: "Didn't you say don't call it?" I heard that you are also bold, and you have never been afraid of heaven and earth, why did you become so restrained here? Back then, the Biling Fairy of Bixia Sect was not as restrained as you. He touched his chin with his hand and said thoughtfully. That's a ruthless character, the Danding faction blasted her out, she would still be able to gain a foothold here, if it weren't for ......"
He saw Gu Yanzheng with his eyes open, looking at him with curiosity, and immediately closed his mouth.
Gu Yan asked, "Could it be that my predecessors saw the Biling Fairy back then?" She thought about it, even if this old man cultivated to Sword Venerable, his current lifespan should not exceed two thousand years old. Biling Fairy was at least four or five thousand years ago, and the two of them shouldn't have intersected.
"Go, go!" Mo Li waved his hand vigorously, "How could I have seen the old man." That's what my master said, don't think about it. I forgot, you're from overseas, and you don't have any contact with the Bi Ling Fairy, so I've always been very strange to the old man, why are you so dedicated to the Bixia Sect? ”
Gu Yan was shocked again, her origin was as secretive as Cangwu, and very few people knew about it, but this Yunli Sword Venerable mentioned it lightly.
Mo Li said dissatisfiedly: "Sit down, sit down, don't always be surprised." What does it matter if the origin is unknown? In this place, it mainly depends on whose voice is loud enough and whose fists are hard enough, as long as you are not from the gang of demon cubs under the Nine Shadows, who will be hypocritical with you? ”
Gu Yan smiled and sat down, feeling that it was better not to speak. This old sword venerable didn't seem to be too conscious, maybe he would tell everything he wanted to know.
Who knew that Mo Li didn't talk about the old things again this time, he grabbed two faces, and said with some fascination: "Now people, I really worship Liliang too much, and I don't care so much about the life of understanding the way of heaven, in this world, whoever has a big fist is reasonable, hey, I don't know those boys, fighting back and forth, what is the fight?" Those three old guys are still smart, they hid in the turtle shell, looked at the white clouds and dogs, and maybe laughed secretly many times. ”
There was no beginning or end to these words, but Gu Yan understood a little, the three old guys should be referring to the Tianzhu Peak, the three Yuanhou monks in the Yuxu Palace who have been infants for at least thousands of years, she can't help but secretly introspect in her heart, to be able to cultivate to the Yuanying, sure enough, they all have their own unique opinions on the Tao, and their trip to the Tibetan Sword Villa should really be good to ask people for advice.
Mo Li touched his chin and said, "I heard that you are going to enter the sword washing pool, are you going to find the sword soul?" ”
Gu Yan said: "It's the first time for the younger generation to enter such a secret realm, just hoping to find an opportunity." The sword soul is cloudy, and he doesn't dare to ask for extravagance. ”
"Hey!" Mo Li smiled disdainfully, "What kind of chance, it's just a few hundred miscellaneous fish, according to me, those sword souls, it's useless for you to come." Back then, the Tibetan Sword Patriarch threw away the miscellaneous fish that he didn't want, and even rubbing his feet was useless, and these people actually picked it up like a baby. Don't you know that sword cultivators want to become enlightened, and the essence of their bodies is all over this sword soul? Those things from the sword washing pond have long trapped their cultivation, and it is not in vain that for thousands of years, there is not even a single Yuanhou monk! ”
He seemed to be getting more and more excited, "Think about this vast land, in addition to the Hidden Sword Villa, which sect has never been a trace of the Yuan Hou monk?" Nie Yinniang back then, didn't it prove my old man's wisdom and foresight? Nie Yinniang back then, if she also entered the sword washing pool in a daze and fished out the remnant soul, would she still be able to achieve the sword of life and turn into a god? ”
Mo Li said as he waved his gesture excitedly, in this small space, a bunch of worn-out swords were beaten by him and flew around, Gu Yan looked at it in horror, for fear that a broken sword would fly over and smash a big hole in his face.
However, the Nie Yinniang that Mo Li said in his mouth should be the legendary monk who turned into a god after the Hidden Sword Patriarch, right? Didn't they all say that she found an opportunity in the sword washing pool, so she was able to cultivate the sword of life? How to listen to Mo Li's words, it seems to be completely different.
Mo Li saw the doubts in her heart, and said with a smile: "It's good to talk about this kind of thing in the house, if you take it outside to talk about it, Senior Brother Yunchi will definitely turn against me." Washing Sword Pool, that is the holy place in the hearts of the disciples of the Tibetan Sword Villa, can I be so bad? That is, you little girl, I look at the fate. That's why I'll just say a few more words. ”
Gu Yan smiled, she was originally bold and not very restrictive to vulgar etiquette, when she first saw Mo Li. The slight nervousness was also thrown away at this time, thinking that this rare opportunity to ask, he asked curiously: "Since the sword washing pool is not as effective as the legend, didn't the predecessors enter it when they were married?" ”
Mo Li glared, "Of course I went in." As a disciple of the Tibetan Sword Villa. I can't go into the sword washing pool, but when I go in, I'm not fishing for those hundreds of miscellaneous fish. He put his finger in front of his lips, "shh ”
When these four words were spoken, Gu Yan only felt that the surrounding world seemed to shake. A biting yin wind blew, making her can't help but tighten her neck, "Ancient Sword Soul." What is that? ”
Mo Li laughed, "This is the mystery that I have realized after thousands of years of painstaking study of the sword canon, do you think that the ancestor of the Tibetan Sword back then, Weishenme, wanted to build such a sword washing pool, just to hold the abandoned sword?" ”
Gu Yan nodded stunned. Mo Li waved his hand: "Big fallacy! The swords that have been refined have all been discarded, what are they left for? If he doesn't think it's an eyesore, digging a pit and burying it will be over, and spending so much effort to dig a pool, is there something wrong with his brain? ”
Gu Yan thought, "It does seem to make sense." ”
Mo Li said: "There is a cloud in the Sword Codex: the sword of life. The spirit of heaven and earth, the mother of ten thousand swords, generates electricity in a desperate place, and cultivates it quietly, which is the study of life. The sword that the Tibetan Sword Patriarch refined back then was to be specially placed in the sword washing pool. to nourish the true sword soul he has cultivated! ”
He stood up, stretched his arms, and said loudly with an incomparably passionate expression on a ghost-like face: "The sword soul I am talking about, the name of the ancient sword soul, the great cultivators in ancient times, enter the sword with themselves, cultivate the sword soul, feed it with blood, nourish it with essence, refine it with divine soul, and finally become the unity of heaven and man, so that what comes out is the real ancient sword soul, which can crisscross the world and live forever, the ancestor of the Tibetan sword back then, if he didn't cultivate such a sword soul, how could he stand proudly above his peers and turn into a god and fly into the sky?" ”
Gu Yan listened stunned, only to feel that the clouds and mountains were covered in fog, and it seemed to be extremely profound, she was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of a question, and asked: "Since the predecessors said so, then if you want to find the ancient sword soul, you should also go to the sword washing pool to find it, why do you sit here and find the old paper pile?" ”
"Hey, hey." Mo Li's face showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, "Originally, I went to the sword washing pool from time to time, only there can I truly feel the true meaning of the hidden sword ancestor back then, and the ancient sword soul can only exist in the sword washing pool." According to my inference from studying the sword book for more than 1,000 years, the ancestor of the Tibetan sword used it, which is the supreme method of ancient overhaul, such as the cultivated sword soul, must be a yin and a yang, he took the yang sword and broke away, and the remaining yin sword must be hidden in the sword washing pool, and it is precisely for this reason that for ten thousand years, the sword washing pool has been miserable all day long, like a ghost crying at night, why not? The lonely yin is not born, and the lonely yang does not grow. ”
Gu Yan heard him say such a big set, and couldn't help but interrupt him, "The senior hasn't said it yet, why don't you enter the sword washing pool?" ”
Mo Li laughed embarrassedly twice, "That's because Senior Brother Yunchi didn't let me in anymore, he said that I made a mess of the Sword Washing Pool back then, so that it would take seventeen years before it could be reopened, and this time I had to wait for those boys to finish the trial, and then let me go in and mess around." ”
Gu Yanqi said: "This order is so child's play, what did the seniors do in the sword washing pool?" ”
Mo Li's face was a little pale, his expression couldn't help changing, and he still said: "Actually, I didn't do anything, but I was in the sword washing pool, trying to summon the Nine Heavens Thunder Fire, but one accidentally, the sword qi broke through the leylines of the earth, and led out the Xuanyin Earth Fire in the center of the earth, and the water eye there collapsed." The spiritual veins gathered there, and it took dozens of disciples of the Hidden Sword Villa more than ten years of effort to slowly clean it up and let the Sword Washing Pool return to its old view. ”
This time, Gu Yan was really shocked. This Sword Venerable in front of him actually did such an earth-shattering thing, and he blew up the secret realm that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years in this sect!
Only then did she fully understand Yunchi Jianzun's order, with such a junior disciple, anyone could only consider themselves unlucky.
It's no wonder that seventeen years ago, after Dabi, the five people who were originally scheduled to enter the sword washing pool rushed home after being given a magic weapon, and then Su Manjian and others hurriedly returned north, presumably the Yunli sword vein in front of them had just collapsed the leyline. They went back to take care of the aftermath.
Mo Li saw the look on Gu Yan's face that was extremely exciting, and glared, "You can't tell me about this matter." The kid surnamed Shen of the Danding faction is the most bad, his master and I don't deal with each other in the first place, let him know, he has to laugh at me. I can't hold my head up in front of people. ”
Gu Yan immediately put away the smile on his face, and said solemnly: "Senior, don't worry, including the ancient mysteries of Fang Cai. I will also keep it a secret and never reveal half a word. ”
Mo Li laughed at this time, he took Gu Yan's hand and stood up, "Come, I'll take you to visit this sword test hall, you can use and watch the classics here, you can't finish reading." You can also take it back and look at it slowly, old man, I'll give you this face. ”
Gu Yan said: "The junior is not a member of your faction, so ...... Not quite right? ”
Mo Li glared again. "Why is it not good, I just say okay!"
He waved his sleeves and said: "In my opinion, the essence of the tens of thousands of years of the Tibetan Sword Villa is all in this "Sword Codex", and the rest is just a busy life, and if you can read this Sword Book thoroughly, then it is not difficult to turn into a god." The rest of the books are nothing but confusion. It's just something that teaches people to go astray. ”
Gu Yan stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say more, so as not to attract the old man's tirade again, but he also had some truth in what he said, sword cultivators, with the sword as one, will be poor in one sword for life. There are not so many other messy methods, as Mo Li said: just messing up the mind.
According to him, after being grounded by Yunchi Sword Venerable, he spent all night in this sword trial hall, taking all the broken things that have been handed down from ancient times to the present, and concentrating on research, trying to find out from them and find a way to find the ancient sword soul.
As long as he doesn't go out to make trouble, Yunchi Sword Venerable can also let him, and slowly there will be no outsiders in the Sword Trial Hall, speaking of which, it is really as Xuanguang Zhenren said, and it is not forbidden for new disciples of this sect to come and go.
There are many classics on the four walls, most of them have been collected by the people of the Tibetan Sword Villa for so many years, most of them are practicing swordsmanship, Gu Yan saw a book with "Da Xuantian Chapter" written on it, and felt curious, so he took it down and flipped through it.
Mo Li said disdainfully: "What is written on this is the art of jianzhen, the person who wrote the book is ingenious, and integrates the swordsmanship with the phantom array, but it is lost in the trick, the sword is the ancestor of a hundred soldiers, and it is a dignified and upright learning, such a technique is not taken by my generation." ”
Gu Yan was curious, the Nine Xuantian Soldiers she cultivated, this time she re-cultivated them as the Phantom Sword Spirit Banner, it was her own whimsical idea, to combine the sword technique with the formation path and create a new method. Unexpectedly, the ancients already had it, and when she saw that Mo Li didn't care about it, she said generously: "In this case, can the younger generation copy this book?" ”
Mo Li waved his hand, "If you like it, forget it." This kind of face, my old man still has it. ”
Gu Yan smiled, took out a jade slip, drew out the aura, printed the words on it one by one, or put the original back again.
In another room, she saw another portrait of a monk, dressed in a short robe, with a great sword under his feet, and in front of him was an ethereal white cloud, as if it were about to break through the air. Gu Yan's heart moved, this posture seemed to be very similar to her uncle Gu Xichao?
Gu Xichao was before Gu Yan, the Gu family's Tianzong genius, the first to build the foundation, the first to form a Dan, if it wasn't for the chaos in Qingyun Mountain, he would have led the Gu family to rise in Tianmu Mountain. And the origin of the sword path he cultivated, Gu Yan had never heard him mention it. After coming to Cangwu, it was also different from the method of Zangjian Villa, but I didn't expect to see a trace of clues here.
She asked curiously, "Who is this painting on?" ”
Mo Li stretched out his hand to take down the painting, it was originally a large booklet, which read "Records of Events from a Certain Year to a Certain Year", Mo Li said: "This is a record left by someone who came to Tibetan Sword Villa to discuss the Tao, looking at the text on it, this is at least three or four thousand years old." ”
Gu Yan asked, "Do you explain the origin and name of this monk?" ”
Mo Li flipped the booklet over and let her read it for herself. Gu Yan saw that there was only a certain year, month and day written on it, and there were overseas sword cultivators who came here to talk about the Tao, a certain sword respected the reception, and the words that the sword returned for seven days. The rest was not mentioned. However, there is a line of small words on the back She paid attention to it, the cloud came from overseas, the way of the sword is in harmony, it is in harmony with the odd victory, and it is in line with the method of war, and my generation can participate in it.
Gu Yan thought about it, and also recorded this catalogue, along with the text behind it, with a jade slip.
After all, she is not a person who specializes in swordsmanship, and she is not interested in recording the rest of the things in the sword hall just to see it. In just two hours, she swept through the three rooms and twelve walls, and all the classics.
In addition to the swordsmanship catalog, there are also some anecdotes handed down from ancient times, which are recorded as a script, Gu Yan is quite interested in these, and uses the jade slip to record them one by one, Mo Li doesn't care about her. When he arrived at Zuihou, Gu Yan thought of a question and asked: "Since this is the Sword Trial Hall, Weishenme didn't see the famous "Sword Codex" of the Tibetan Sword Villa?" ”
Mo Li laughed, "Because of that "Sword Codex", it's not here......"
There was a very mysterious look on his face, which made Gu Yan feel extremely curious, and she asked playfully, "So where is it?" ”
Mo Li said: "Under the jade couch where my senior brother is meditating! ”
It turns out that this "Sword Codex", as the highest classic in the Tibetan Sword Villa, has always been in charge of the head of the house himself, not pretending to be outsiders. A total of twelve jade albums were placed in the gold box under the jade couch of the head of the house. Mo Li's interest at this time suddenly came, and he said, "If you are curious, I will take you to see it!" ”
Gu Yan was taken aback and said, "How can this be seen?" ”
Mo Li "cut" a sound, "What are you afraid of, my senior brother has been busy lately and is often not at home, let's go and take a look and come back after a few looks, what's the matter?" ”
Gu Yan said hesitantly: "This is your sect's secret book, I'm an outsider, it's not good to read it, right?" ”
"What kind of secret scripture, as long as the disciples of this sect reach the time of knotting, they can be taught by the head of the sect, and how much they comprehend depends on their own fate. We who practice swordsmanship, there are no mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law from other sects, if you have a fate with this, it is nothing. You want to go too, don't you? ”
Gu Yan was seen through by him, and simply said generously: "As long as the seniors don't make trouble for me, I'll take a look with a straight face." ”
Mo Li laughed, he grabbed Gu Yan's hand, "Don't worry, as long as my senior brother doesn't come back, who can take care of me here?" ”
As soon as he grabbed Gu Yan's wrist, an incomparably cold sword light suddenly rushed out, swept through the sky, and disappeared immediately.
Gu Yan couldn't help but follow him, only feeling like he was on a thief ship, how could he think that this old sword venerable was a little unreliable?
Mo Li came out of the sword, his momentum was like thunder, but his sword light was traceless, without a trace of fireworks, quite a realm of "melting big and ingenious but not working". made Gu Yan admire in his heart.
The sword light was so fast, in a blink of an eye, it swept past the wall of the Hidden Sword Villa, and flew towards the back mountain without stopping, Gu Yan was surprised: "It turns out that the place where the Yunchi Sword Venerable is stationed in Xi is not in the villa?" ”
Mo Li said "hey", "That is, you want to take care of so many mundane affairs in the villa, does he still have the heart to meditate and cultivate?" The ashram of the previous generations is all within the Tiger Hill, and you will never be able to enter without my guidance. ”
While talking, the two of them had already landed on a mountain wall, Mo Li raised his hand, and the sword light slashed out like snow, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and the rumbling sound made Gu Yan tremble, such a big movement, I'm afraid that people within a radius of a hundred miles can attract it, right?
Mo Li waved his hand carelessly, "There is a ban here, and the voice can't be transmitted." As he spoke, the mountain wall in front of him had been mercilessly smashed into a big pit, Mo Li walked in with his head held high, and Gu Yan followed behind him.
As soon as the two of them entered, the broken mountain wall behind them naturally closed again, and there was no trace at all. Mo Li walked forward without looking back, this was a stone cave that was not too long, and the stalactites on it hung down, Gu Yan keenly felt that it was like a long sword with a handle, with Sensen's sword qi, hanging above his head, as if he would fall down at some point, and then chop himself into meat puree. (To be continued)
