Chapter 27: The Confusion of the Sword Spirit Reveals Reality
Hua Feng didn't bother the old man anymore, but stepped aside, he could see that the old man at this time obviously didn't recognize him anymore.
But Hua Feng still feels that this matter is not as simple as it seems. Because in the final with Zhu Lin, he had greeted Zhu Lin about Zhu Lao's situation, although Zhu Lin did not want to mention it, but his attitude was very abnormal.
What's more, Hua Feng clearly felt a trace of aura similar to Zhu Lao in the sword qi of the Sword of Returning to the Spring in Zhu Lin's hand, and the kind of déjà vu, the momentum of the king attacking the python, made Hua Feng can't help but have an illusion.
Is this just wishful thinking, or is it Zhu Lao's hint to himself, Hua Feng is finally going to untie this knot.
Suddenly, the old man seemed to be full, and staggered forward. When he left, he didn't take a trace of ghost grass with him, but deliberately picked a lot of delicious wild fruits on the way, carefully carried them in his arms, and walked into a thatched hut with vicissitudes of life.
The thin back trembled, and the dilapidated thatched hut was crumbling, and it looked particularly desolate under the lush shade of the branches.
This place is no stranger to Huafeng, it is the place where Zhu Lao was rescued at the beginning. But what puzzled Hua Feng was what happened to make a former strong man weak, could it be the hallucinogenic poison Ghost Grass?
"Although the ghost grass can lose people's minds, I wish Grandpa such a high level of cultivation, and it will not let the poison break his state of mind and foundation. Hua Feng stood in front of the wooden door of the destructible thatched hut, thinking to himself.
"Why did you run out again, didn't you stay at home?" As soon as the old man stepped into the thatched house, he heard a rebuke from the cabinet, and it could be heard from the voice that the person who spoke should not be very old.
Outside the door, I only heard the old man's tone of resignation, like a child in trouble, and his voice was as low as a mosquito: "I... I'm just.... I picked some fruit for you, you... You loved these when you were a kid. ”
"I'm not a kid anymore!" Another voice roared angrily, "Keep it for yourself!"
"But I've just eaten it, and I'm full, and I've left it all for you. ”
"These fruits are so much better than them in front of the beasts!"
"They won't eat me!"
"Do you really think you're still the same cultivator you used to be?" There was a slight hint of resentment in his voice, and he paused for a moment, and then said loudly: "I said, if you leave here without permission, I will ......"
"Bang~"
Before the voice could finish speaking, the crumbling wooden door of the thatched hut shattered into powder, and a slender black shadow blocked out the sunlight shining in from outside.
This person is Hua Feng.
"Do you know why your grandfather said he wouldn't be afraid of those beasts, because he ate Nether Grass!" Hua Feng's cherry red hair danced, and the corners of his eyes were filled with angry flames, scolding Zhu Lin in the house.
Nethergrass not only has a strong hallucinogenic effect on ordinary people, but also exudes a faint mint fragrance. After humans take a large amount of Nethergrass grass, they will also produce a kind of incense from the inside out, which is a warning of danger in the sensitive sense of smell of wild beasts. Therefore, Orion usually wears some ghost grass when he goes out of the mountain, but he will also carry an antidote at the same time to prevent falling into the illusion of fragrant fragrance.
Hua Feng listened to their conversation outside the door, and the fire yuan power in his body was already like volcanic lava, as if it had exploded out in the next moment.
Zhu Lin was suddenly interrupted, and seeing that Hua Feng was breaking in, he instantly ignited the anger in his heart, his face turned the color of pig liver, and he raised his voice and shouted: "It's not your turn to teach me a lesson here!"
When Zhu Lin roared, the Returning Spring Sword beside him also roared, and in Zhu Lin's opinion, it was ready to fight.
Zhu Lao watched the two arguing and red-eared, and wanted to hold Zhu Lin in a low voice to calm the quarrel.
"You go away, you don't need to meddle here!" Zhu Lin pushed Zhu Lao's body away, only to see that the thin Zhu Lao's figure had not yet stood firm, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.
"He's your grandfather!" Hua Feng's eyes flashed with anger, Zhu Grandpa was also a lifesaver to him at the beginning, but he didn't expect his grandson Zhu Lin to treat him like this today.
"I don't have a grandfather like that!" Zhu Lin roared as hard as he could, his eyes filled with tears, and his voice was full of helplessness.
Hua Feng was silent, he knew that Zhu Lin might have his reason for doing this, the old Zhu in front of him, although Zhu Lin said that he was not his grandfather, but for his safety, he didn't let anyone go out, it can be seen that this matter is not as simple as Hua Feng sees.
Hua Feng picked up Zhu Lao, settled him on the wooden couch in the house, beckoned to Zhu Lin, and walked out of the hut, "Come out and be beaten!"
"Look for death!" Zhu Lin was furious at Hua Feng's provocation, and wanted to go out to clean up that arrogant guy with the Sword of Returning to the Spring of All Beings.
However, the long sword that could be lifted with one hand in the past is now difficult to lift with both hands, as if it is sealed, no matter how much yuan power he injects, all living beings will not move at all.
Glancing at the Returning Spring Sword of All Beings standing beside Zhu Lin, Hua Feng stepped back, clenched his right hand, and used the "Phantom Fire Decision" to condense a flame scimitar and cut towards Zhu Lin's life.
With this move, Hua Feng wanted to push Zhu Lin into a desperate situation, because he wanted to confirm a guess in his heart, and his left hand turned into a palm behind him, ready to contain this momentum at any time.
"Huh~" I saw the sword of returning to the spring of all living beings standing solemnly
In front of Zhu Lin, he blocked Hua Feng's flame scimitar.
Zhu Lin took advantage of the situation to hold the hilt of the sword with both hands, and swung out a domineering sword blade, like a swift wind, sweeping the dead grass on the thatched roof, slashing away angrily, forcing Hua Fengsheng out of the house for more than ten steps.
The sword qi swung on the ground, and the flames raged in the mountains and forests. But even so, Zhu Lin clearly felt that the Returning Spring Sword in his hand, no matter how much Yuan Force he injected, he was always sharp, so that he was always in a state of defense and repulsion.
Zhu Lin and Hua Feng fought for hundreds of rounds, and both of them were physically and mentally exhausted. Hua Feng also saw it, and from the battle, he could judge that the Sword of Returning to the Spring of All Beings should not have burst out with its due strength.
Just when Hua Feng was about to attack again, a familiar voice came from behind him: "Stop!"
Hua Feng put away the scimitar turned into "Phantom Fire Decision", followed the prestige, and saw Xu Yan following Hua Yin, drinking Hua Feng, and walking slowly towards Zhu Lin.
"Presumably, this sword is the sword that the king has been thinking about day and night for more than ten years, right?" Xu Yan stared at the long sword in Zhu Lin's hand and asked in a cold voice.
The Sword of Returning to the Spring of All Beings resounded with a buzz at this time, as if it was responding to Xu Yan. Hearing this sword groan, Xu Yan smiled indifferently, his smile was like a blue wave rippling in the lake, and he said softly: "So far, why haven't the seniors come out to see each other?"
As he spoke, Xu Yan waved his hand and turned into a wisp of black energy, wrapping around the long sword in Zhu Lin's hand.
Zhu Lin was just about to clench the hilt of the sword, but he was shocked back by the sword qi emitted from the sword body, and then the Sword of the Returning Spring was suspended by black energy and stood in front of everyone.
As soon as the black energy was integrated into the sword body, it was decomposed into black particles, and when the particles condensed and formed, they had vaguely turned into the appearance of Zhu Lao.
I don't know if it's because of the fluctuation of the particles, I can't see Zhu Lao's face clearly, or if it's like this, I haven't seen it for three years, and the Zhu Lao in front of me seems to be much older.
"You're here, boy?" The phantom looked at the person who had come, and said weakly.
"Senior, you should understand that this will not protect him for a lifetime after all!" Xu Yan said in a deep voice, obviously not caring if the phantom still had the strength to speak, "The children are all adults, and they have the ability to face some difficulties alone, it's time to put away our wings!"
The phantom was silent for a moment, his expression was a little gloomy, he sighed deeply, and asked everyone, "Do you know why this sword is called the Sword of the Return of All Beings?"
"A sword is sacrificed, and all beings return to the spring?" Hua Feng replied.
The Phantom shook his head with a wry smile, "The world only knows the meaning of all beings returning to the spring, but they don't know the price to pay for harnessing it!"
"The price of harnessing this sword is, sacrifice spirits!" Xu Yan said, "Is it that the Sword of Returning to the Spring of All Beings already has signs of revolting?"
"Since the birth of this Lifetime Springs Sword, the world has called it the Magic Sword, and the reason why it has the power to bring all beings back to the Spring is because it is a cursed sword of sin. This curse is fulfilled every 100 years, and every time a curse comes, a user is required to sacrifice a living being so that the user can pass it on to future generations. ”
Looking at Zhu Lin, who was still undecided, the phantom muttered: "Child, in fact, I don't have the intention to hide it from you, because only by doing this can I let you control this divine sword." ”
"Jin Yuanli, fierce and domineering, imperial artifact, magical soldier, can turn the spirit into a sword spirit, the sword spirit, and the artifact of the strange soldier make a contract, complement each other, and live forever?" Hua Feng remembered the introduction of the Golden Yuan Force and the Divine Soldier Contract in the Creation Yuan Force.
The phantom nodded, and then said, "That's right, not long after I took Zhu Lin to live in seclusion to the Weiyang Clan, the return of sentient beings to the spring began to have signs of devouring the user's soul. Therefore, I devoted myself to turning the spirit into a sword spirit, leaving only one soul and one spirit to support the body. The phantom looked at the walking corpse-like body in the distance, his eyes flickering with helplessness.
"Grandpa, I can slowly try to control this sword by myself, and I don't need you to turn into a sword spirit to help me!" Zhu Linming swallowed, tears lingering in his eyes, still unwilling to believe the facts in front of him.
"Of course I know that, kid. You've been cultivating hard all the time to become a fearless warrior like your father, right?" The phantom smiled bitterly twice, looked at Zhu Lin kindly and asked
Road.
Before Zhu Lin could raise his head to answer, Zhu Lao looked at the people around him, and then said: "Actually, I still have another purpose for doing this. ”
