Chapter 18: The Demon Dragon Knife
"Elder Changzheng!" Long Yunpu next to him suddenly shouted, "Who are you?"
Elder Yan Changzheng turned his eyes to look at Long Yunpu, and said, "I just want to take the knife and take a good look, what are you going to do?" Long Yunpu was scolded back by Elder Yan Changzheng's words.
I saw that Elder Yan Changzheng was looking at Long Wu's Hidden Dragon Knife while slowly walking back to his place and sitting down, and the rest of the elders also set their eyes on the long knife with a black appearance. Yan Changzheng looked at Long Wu, sighed, and said slowly: "Long Wu, although you did destroy an ancestor's sarcophagus in the Phantom Dragon Cave Mansion, we didn't call you here to punish you for this. ”
As soon as Elder Yan Changzheng said this, the uneasiness in Long Wu's heart finally dissipated a lot, and even Long Yunpu beside him opened his mouth wide, unable to speak for a while. But the two elders, Yan Wuxing and Yan Shixiong, immediately said, "Senior Brother Changzheng, are you saying that what this kid has done is just that? Destroy the Phantom Dragon Cave Mansion and destroy the ...... of the Phantom Sect."
"That's enough!" Elder Yan Changzheng immediately interrupted their words, glanced at the two of them deeply, and said, "Two junior disciples, do you know what you are talking about......?"
Yan Wuxing and Yan Shixiong were drunk by this, and they knew that they were speechless, and they should not casually mention the secret of the clan in front of the younger disciples, so they immediately stopped.
Elder Yan Changzheng continued, "We have called you here this time, in fact, mainly for your treasure sword. As he spoke, he slowly picked up the long knife again, as if he fell into a brief contemplation.
"Elder Changzheng?" Long Wu had a puzzle in his heart, and looked at the elders in the hall, not knowing what was wrong with his sword.
At the end, I heard Elder Changzheng say slowly: "Long Wu, you go back first, although this knife was obtained by you from the Phantom Dragon Cave Mansion, but it has some major secrets related to my Yanlong Clan, leave it for the time being, and I will wait for a few elders to discuss before I can decide whether to give it back to you." ”
"What?" Long Yunpu stepped forward and saluted, and said loudly, "Elder Changzheng, this magic weapon of Long Wu was confiscated so inexplicably?" There was a hint of questioning in his tone.
"Mentor Yunpu!" Long Wu saw that the mentor first broke into this hall of elders for his own sake, and now questioned several elders like this, if he was in normal times, no matter how famous he was among the tutors, he would not be able to escape punishment, and he could not let the mentor be implicated for himself, so he was in a hurry at the moment, and hurriedly shouted.
Fortunately, Elder Yan Changzheng was not angry, although the other elders had anger on their faces, but after Elder Yan Changzheng stopped shouting, no one said anything more. I only heard Elder Yan Changzheng say lightly, "Yunpu, you can stay too." ”
Long Wu silently retreated from the Hall of Elders.
Yan Changzheng slowly looked at Mentor Long Yunpu and said, "I let you stay because Long Wu's young man was brought out by you after all, and this matter is very important, and it should be known to you." ”
Long Yunpu's heart was much calmer at this time, and he also knew that he was really reckless and rude before, so he immediately saluted Yan Changzheng and the other elders, and said respectfully: "Yes, the disciple was reckless and rude, please punish the elders." ”
Yan Changzheng waved his hand and said, "That's it...... Do you know where this knife came from?"
Long Yunpu said: "The disciple doesn't know. ”
Yan Changzheng looked at everyone again, and said slowly: "This knife is called 'Demon Dragon Knife', and it was obtained more than a hundred years ago, when my predecessor of the Yanlong Clan's Illusory Sect was young, in a volcanic lava near the Great Rift Valley, thousands of miles southwest of my Yanlong Clan. At that time, the patriarch of the Phantom Sect held a magic weapon that was extremely powerful Meteorite Hammer, and saw that this knife exuded a strong demonic aura, so he named it the Demon Dragon Knife. At that time, except for the patriarch who could exert the power of this sword with his supreme cultivation, no one in the clan could use this sword. Then he sealed it with aura and stored it in the Phantom Dragon Cave Mansion. Later, the patriarch fought with the heads of the two clans of Mu Dan and the Ice Clan in the Flame Sea, and then their whereabouts were unknown. In order to remember the old patriarch, the treasure knife and sarcophagus were stored in a stone room in the depths of the Phantom Dragon Cave Mansion, and the entrance was blocked with aura. According to common sense, with the cultivation of the young disciples who entered the cave this time, it is impossible to find out, but I didn't expect that it was obtained by this young man, and speaking of which, maybe this is also the will of heaven. ”
Long Yunpu listened to Elder Yan Changzheng's words, only then did he know that this knife was really a big deal, if it was really a magic knife, even if Elder Changzheng confiscated it from Long Wu, he would have nothing to say, after all, if Long Wu was devoured by the magic power of this knife in the future, he would fight for him at this time, but it would harm him, so he had to stand respectfully and stop talking.
Yan Wuxing was still very upright and said: "Senior Brother Changzheng, in my opinion, this knife cannot be handed over to that young man under any circumstances, if he falls into the demon path in the future, it will become a harm to my Yanlong clan." ”
Yan Changshu said: "Senior Brother Fearless is serious, I think you are unhappy because the person who got this knife is not the disciple you expected in your heart, right?"
Yan Wuxing's face changed and changed, thinking that if he didn't have the slightest selfishness, it would be impossible, at this moment, Yan Changshu was told in person, it was really embarrassing, and he couldn't speak for a while, but his tone was still cold, and he said: "Senior Brother Changshu, I'm just talking about things, you don't want to talk nonsense." ”
At this time, an old man who had not joined the quarrel said quietly: "Senior brothers, how about listening to me?"
Several elders turned their heads to look at the person who spoke, obviously he usually did not intervene in the argument, and at this moment, everyone had no opinion.
Yan Changzheng smiled and nodded, and said to the old man, "Senior Brother Changle, please speak." ”
The old man named Yan Changhai nodded to everyone and said slowly: "Although this knife is called the Demon Dragon Knife, its specific origin is also very clear to all the senior brothers, so I won't say more. It's just that now this knife, firstly, the demonic qi has already been sealed by the former patriarch, and secondly, this knife has been conceived and nurtured for many years in the depths of the Phantom Dragon Cave Mansion, and now it seems that this knife is not the slightest bit unusual, maybe the demonic qi has dissipated, and the young man called Longwu has obtained it, which can be regarded as his chance, if he can use it correctly in the future, he will definitely be able to become a bright star of my Yanlong clan, but it is a rare and extremely blessed fate. ”
Elder Yan Changzheng nodded and praised rarely, "Well, I think what Senior Brother said is very reasonable. Then he looked at the old man who was guarding the Phantom Dragon Cave Mansion sitting beside him, and said slowly: "Senior Brother Chang Jian, you have been guarding the Phantom Dragon Cave Mansion for many years, what do you think?"
Yan Changjian pondered for a moment and said lightly: "I know very well that today's senior brothers have different opinions on that young disciple named Long Wu, and I am not qualified to express my opinion. After a pause, he said slowly, "I have been in the Phantom Dragon Cave Mansion for more than thirty years, and a few years ago, I still vaguely felt the demonic aura emitted by this knife, but in the past ten years, I can no longer feel it, and over time, I haven't paid much attention to it." But...... The disciple called Long Wu was able to perceive it through the aura prohibition, and in the dark, it seemed that this sword was also making a choice, and it was difficult for me to explain clearly......"
Yan Changzheng also nodded slightly. Seeing that Yan Changzheng and several other elders all showed their leniency for Long Wu, Yan Wuxing and Yan Shixiong's faces suddenly became very ugly, and they only heard Yan Wuxing say: "Senior Brother Changzheng, if he is really devoured by the demonic qi in the future, and he has this powerful sword in his hand, he slaughters his fellow sects and does something that insults my Yanlong clan, and if it is good, I would rather seal this knife forever, it is better than harming the world in the future!"
Yan Changzheng frowned slightly, looked at Yan Wuxing, and said, "Senior Brother Wuxing, let me ask you, is this knife obtained by that young man from the Phantom Dragon Cave Mansion?"
And so it is. Yan Wuxing nodded silently and said.
Yan Changzheng said again: "Fearless junior brother, you are in charge of my Yanlong Clan's precepts, it is very clear, the rules of my Yanlong Clan for generations, as long as the disciple obtains the magic weapon from the Phantom Dragon Cave Mansion, it can be used as his own magic weapon, can there be this?"
Yan Wudaunt nodded silently.
"In that case, if we just deprive this knife from that disciple just by speculating that it might be disadvantageous, wouldn't it be child's play for the Phantom Dragon Cave Mansion to obtain magic weapons?" Elder Yan Changzheng continued to look at Yan Wudaunt and said, "Senior Brother Dreadnought, just now you said that if Long Wu used this sword, he would be devoured by demonic qi and slaughter his fellow disciples?"
Yan Wuxing's face turned red, and he immediately raised his palm and said, "Senior brother has taught you a lesson!" and he stopped talking, and all the elders were silent.
At the end, Elder Yan Changzheng looked at the sky outside the main hall, thoughtfully, and said slowly: "Senior disciples, in recent decades, on this Shengyuan Continent, not only Mu Dan and the Ice Clan have gradually become stronger, but even those small clans that were unknown in the past have gradually risen, and in Shengyuan City, various forces are intertwined. As the elders of the Yanlong Clan, we shoulder a heavy responsibility, and we should try our best to cultivate excellent disciples, and we must not affect the long-term development of our Yanlong Clan because of our own extremes. ”
Everyone bowed their heads and said "yes", and Yan Changzheng said to Long Yunpu again: "Yunpu, you take this knife and return it to Long Wu's young man, but you must tell you that although this knife is extremely powerful, it should not be used excessively, otherwise it will also be harmful to cultivation." ”
Long Yunpu knew that Long Wu's magic weapon had been saved, and he was overjoyed, but he didn't know what Yan Changzheng meant by this, and he didn't dare to ask more at the moment, for fear that the elders would change his hexagram, so he had to bow respectfully, stepped forward to take the treasure knife, and only heard Elder Yan Changzheng say again: "There are two more points, you remember, one is that Long Wu's child is still young, and the origin of this magic dragon knife, don't tell him for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary influence to him." The second is that although this knife seems to have no demonic energy now, you must pay more attention to the young man Long Wu in the future, he is extremely talented, you should try your best to cultivate, if there is anything unusual about him using this knife, you must inform me in time. ”
"Yes, you have thought it through, the disciple has thanked the elders for Long Wu first!" Long Yunpu bowed deeply and said respectfully.
Facing Long Yunpu, an outstanding disciple, several elders nodded in return, only Yan Wuwu and Yan Shixiong still snorted coldly, disapproving.
Yan Changzheng said to Yan Chang Jian who was sitting on the side: "Senior Brother Chang Jian, the destruction of the Phantom Dragon Cave Mansion, please take someone to repair it as soon as possible, and don't publicize it to the public." ”
"Yes, Senior Brother Changzheng!" Yan Changjian nodded in response, then hesitated slightly, and said, "...... the ruined sarcophagus in the stone chamber?"
Yan Changzheng looked at the other elders, and then said, "As for the sarcophagus, let's still seal it in the stone room, what do you think?"
The rest of the people looked at each other, and they didn't seem to have any objections, and they all said, "Everything is subject to Senior Brother Changzheng's decision!"
Long Yunpu saluted a few elders in the hall again, turned around and left the Hall of Elders.
Seeing Long Yunpu leave with the sword, Yan Wuxing and Yan Shixiong wanted to say something more, but Yan Changzheng had already gotten up, waved his big hand, signaled that the matter was understood, and walked away.
