Chapter 22: The Sword House
The Tianshan Phantom Sword is the sword technique of the Tianshan Sword Sect, which cannot be taught by non-core descendants, and it is the level of qualification that can best test a person.
Everyone thought this was a good idea, and they all nodded in agreement.
Only Elder Feng laughed: "Senior Brother Jin is really a good plan, if you don't try your best to teach Senior Nephew Liyang this month, Senior Nephew Liyang won't know the Heavenly Mountain Phantom Sword at all in a month, won't this Senior Nephew Liyang be yours?"
When Elder Jin heard Elder Feng's cool words, he immediately said angrily, "Hmph! Senior Sister Feng doesn't want to say this about me, I promise to do my best to teach Senior Nephew Liyang, if there is a trace of negativity, I will voluntarily step down as the master of the Sword Hall!"
Seeing that Elder Jin was already angry, Elder Feng hurriedly snorted and said, "Senior Brother Jin, why should he do this? Little sister is just joking"!
Elder Jin said with a displeased face, "Hmph! You know that my character also deliberately provokes me"!
Mu Qing saw that the matter had been explained clearly, so she said: "Master, since all the teachers and uncles have discussed, I will take the little junior brother of Liyang to the Jianlu"!
"Oh! Wait! I'll go too!" When Nie Ruyun heard the word Jianlu, he probably understood what Mu Qing meant.
He arched his hand to the elders and said, "Senior brothers and sisters, since Li Yang is willing to learn from all the senior brothers and sisters, then please don't hide it. At present, the life of the Tianshan Sword Sect is not good, and in three months, the Liangzhou Sect will compete, and then we will have to rely on Liyang's nephew to compete for the honor of our Tianshan Sword Sect"!
When all the elders heard this, their expressions were no longer relaxed. Elder Jin waved the long sword in his hand and said with a serious face: "Senior Brother in charge, don't worry!" I will definitely teach my tutor and nephew well"!
Elder Feng also frowned and said, "I also thought of this, so I was anxious to teach Junior Nephew Liyang in person!"
"Hmmm"! Everyone nodded their heads to indicate that they also meant the same thing as Elder Feng.
Nie Ruyun nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'm relieved, everyone should go back to their respective caves!" I will arrange the matter of Liyang's nephew clearly, and then I will pass on the message to you when the time comes"!
After all the elders saluted Nie Ruyun, they said in unison: "There is Senior Brother Lao"!
With that, they turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the main hall.
Nie Ruyun turned his head to Li Yang and said, "Let's go to the Sword House!"
Li Yang didn't speak, just nodded, and walked out of the main hall behind Nie Ruyun and Mu Qing.
Before leaving the main hall, the maid that Li Yang picked up halfway trotted to Li Yang's side and asked softly: "Childe, have you finished talking"?
Li Yang nodded and said, "Next, we are going to the Sword House, you can come with me!"
The girl nodded and followed Liyang obediently.
At this time, a familiar smell of tobacco came, and Jian Zu appeared behind Li Yang. He patted Li Yang on the shoulder and said, "Ouch! Xiao Yangyang is really a good eye! This girl is convex and backward, and at first glance she is a good child"!
Li Yang looked back awkwardly and asked, "Why is Grandpa following me!"
Jian Zu waved his hand to summon an auspicious cloud, put Li Yang and the girl on the auspicious cloud together, and then said, "Hmm! I also want to see Xiao Fengfeng for the last time"!
Everyone looked solemn, said nothing all the way, and flew towards the back mountain in the clouds.
After walking for more than ten miles, a white mist began to appear in front of him. Nie Ruyun waved the dust in his arms, and a passage spread out in the middle of the heavy white mist, which seemed to have unlocked some kind of prohibition.
After walking a few more miles, a white mountain peak appeared below, and Liyang began to think it was a snow-capped mountain, but when he looked closer, it turned out to be a mountain full of plum blossoms.
Nearer, at the foot of Meishan Mountain, you can see a pool of turquoise, on the edge of the pond there is a simple courtyard, the small courtyard is surrounded by a fence, there are only two rooms, a living room, a house, all made of thatch and mud.
"Alas! The Sword Ancestor sighed in Liyang's ear: "Back then, my master, that is, Ning Shengxian, the Sword Venerable of the Tianshan Sword Sect, built this Sword House with his own hands, and later my apprentice, Xiao Fengfeng, also lived here to study swordsmanship!" In the blink of an eye, I haven't come to Jianlu for nearly a hundred years!"
Li Yang asked: "Since Grandpa lives in the Tianshan Sword Sect, and the Sword House is not very far away, why hasn't he been here for more than a hundred years?"
Jian Zu replied slowly: "See the injury! When people are old, they can't see old things, and they are sad when they see them"!
Nie Ruyun led everyone to slowly fall to a plum forest outside the small courtyard, and the plum forest was also a snow-white scene. It stands to reason that plum blossoms should bloom in a bitter cold place, but although it feels a little cold in the sword house, it is not so cold that the plum blossoms open.
Nie Ruyun saw Li Yang's doubts, and explained to himself: "The reason why the plum blossoms will bloom here is because of the sword intent of the Sword Venerable in the first move [Hanmei Bloom]."
Jian Zu also recalled: "I think that at the beginning, the master asked me to move thousands of acres of Hanmei from the Northern Netherworld, and we didn't know what the master meant. When the master made a move to bloom the plum blossoms, the plum blossoms bloomed all over the mountains and fields in an instant! That sword is really a creation that conquers the heavens and the earth, and now the sword intent is still circulating in this Meishan and Meilin"!
After listening to it, Li Yang didn't feel too surprised, the Xiuzhen novels and fantasy novels he had read in the past, the characters in them all had the ability to win the world.
The most in his heart now is still excited, thinking about when he can come to a sword and a hundred flowers, and the picture is so beautiful when he thinks about it.
Everyone walked to the foot of a tall plum tree, and Nie Ruyun pointed to this plum tree and said, "At the beginning, Senior Brother Bai returned to the Sword House with Qing Xiaowan's corpse and buried it under this plum tree with his own hands. I think Senior Brother Bai asked you to take his ashes back to Jianlu, which should mean that he wants you to bury him here"!
Li Yang nodded and said, "Hmm! As it should be"!
With that, Li Yang took out Bai Feng's ashes altar from the ring and placed it on the ground. Then he pulled out the snow sword and prepared to dig a pit.
"I'll do it"! Jian Zu stopped Liyang's action of digging a pit, and with one hand pointing to the ground, a black wooden coffin poured out of the ground. With another wave of his fingers, the lid of the coffin opened, and there was a fairy with ice muscles and jade bones lying inside, the fairy closed his eyes tightly, and his face was ruddy. If it weren't for the body's lifelessness, the fairy would feel as if he was asleep.
Seeing this, Nie Ruyun was shocked: "Dingyan Zhu!" Senior Brother Bai actually used this kind of thing to keep Qing Xiaowan's body from rotting!"
Jian Zu said to Li Yang: "Okay! Xiao Yangyang, put Xiao Fengfeng's ashes inside! At least let this pair of bumpy lovers be together after death"!
Li Yang nodded and put the urn into the coffin.
Jian Zu pointed again, and the black wooden coffin gradually sank into the ground. The ground is intact and there is no trace of turning at all.
"Should we erect a monument for the two of them?" Mu Qing had already burst into tears, whether it was Bai Feng, whom she admired, or Qing Xiaowan, whom she admired. She is very familiar with them, and now that she sees these two finally together, she can't suppress her emotions anymore.
Nie Ruyun shook his head and said, "No! Bai Feng didn't erect a monument for Qing Xiaowan, which means that he doesn't want to erect a monument either. Let this plum tree be the tombstone of the two of them! It's you, you've reached the realm of real people, and your emotions are still so easy to be infected. Since ancient times, no one has died in this life, and it is common for cultivators to die on the road of seeking the Tao"!
Mu Qing wiped the tears from her face, and her expression returned to the same as before.
