Book 5, Chapter 67
"You're awake, young man. ”
For some reason, the bottom of the well, which had been dark, was bright, and a man's low, magnetic, hoarse voice could be heard.
"Who are you?" He Yu stood up and looked at the source of the sound, and at this look, he saw that the stone pillars under the dry well, which were not to say a hundred feet, were in the air, and the potholes were formed, forming puddles of water one after another, extending into the darkness, I don't know how wide. There is a large pool of water in the middle of the puddle. The terrible thing was that between the pothole and the pool, it was all filled with a liquid that was bright red and bloody.
The terrifying red liquid stirred in the pool without wind, tossing back and forth, until he got goosebumps all over his body and his hairs stood on end. Even more terrifying was the end of the source of the sound - there was nothing around the pool of blood.
Then the voice rang out again. "Don't be afraid, young man, for I am right in front of you. ”
"What?" He Yu gasped, immediately took a step back, and said instinctively compared to the sword: "Who are you a demon, you dare to pretend to be a ghost here, don't show up quickly." After saying this, he was slightly stunned, how familiar. How long had he not done this, in such a tone.
After his gaze fell on the black sword, He Yu was even more surprised. I saw that the whole body of black charcoal in front of me, the lifeless sword was as clear as a mirror at the moment, as bright as the moon frost. As if sensing the danger of the master, the silver light of the sword body flowed, and the brilliance appeared, emitting a dazzling light in front of him.
At the same time, where He Yu was holding, he felt a trace of coolness entering his palm, invading his whole body, and a feeling of stability and comfort wandered between his heart.
"Young man, can you go any further? Seeing He Yu's concerns, he smiled calmly: "You can rest assured, the old man has been locked up here for more than two hundred years, and he can't move, so how can he hurt you." ”
"More than 200 years?" Occasionally, some cultivators have cultivated the law deeply, and they have lived for hundreds of years to seek the laws of nature. This would not have been a strange thing. But from this man's words, there seems to be no resentment and resentment in the tone of his detained for a hundred years. Maybe it's been lost to time!
His guard then let go of his guard, and he took two steps forward. After all, from the time he came in, he had not sensed a trace of murderous and demonic aura. Obviously, the other party should be human. It's a strange place, this place in the forbidden land of the demon clan is not imprisoned by the same kind, but a person.
"Yes, more than 200 years. It's been so long..."The man just exhaled easily, and then laughed again, and his hoarse voice said: "Young man, you accompany it every day, and unconsciously have developed feelings of pity and reluctance, even ordinary people still can't bear to throw it away, until today it is really opened." The old man is a little curious, and I want to ask you, do you know what you are holding in your hand?"
He Yu glanced at the sword in his hand, but didn't find anything wrong, and unconsciously hugged his fists and said, "Please also ask your seniors to teach you." ”
"Its name is Tianao, which is taken from the ice sea and snow bottom that has been hewn for thousands of years, and it has been refined by exhausting hundreds of years of spiritual power. Later, because its spiritual power was too strong, the cold air of the sword body was pressing, and it attacked directly into the heart, and devoured its master, and no one in the world could control it. But the human heart is greedy, the more things that cannot be obtained, the more precious they feel, and under the false rumors, the world thinks that as long as they have this sword, they can walk freely in this world, and no one can beat it. So they all hoped that they could control this sword and have this supreme spiritual power. ”
As a result, greed blinded the eyes, and all major factions flocked to each other, killing and wounding continuously, and the scene was simply miserable. ”
He Yu looked at his hands in shock. I never thought that this one had a fate with him, with a mediocre appearance, and an ordinary black sword with such a shocking origin. Continue to listen to the man's preaching: "Until one day, my ancestor Gu Yu Zhenren encountered this situation, and saw that this tragedy would be out of control, so he immediately decided to seal this sword. ”
The man's tone paused and became rapid: "But this sword is chilling, driven by its strong spiritual power, how can it be sealed." The patriarch tried his best, but Rao was so still unable to subdue it. When he was in danger of being counterattacked, fortunately a teenager passed by and rescued him. ”
"A teenager?"
"Yes, a teenager. The sword, which even a person as high as the ancestor could not subdue, was strangely quiet when it fell into the young man's hands. It's like if you fall from above, it breaks out and lies beside you. ”
"Break the seal. He Yu muttered, his eyes turned, and he said hurriedly: "The predecessor means that this sword was inadvertently picked up by me after being sealed, and he recognized me as the master." ”
This is exactly what the old man didn't understand. At the beginning, the patriarch once said that this sword Tianao's spiritual power was strong, and the sword spirit was arrogant and unsubdued. Later, after visiting Xiang and searching for ancient books, the patriarch learned that the young man was in a hurry to save the ancestor, and he had to try to suppress his sword qi by holding Tianao tightly, but he was injured by the sword qi, and blood was inadvertently injected into the sword body. ”
The man said, and exhaled again: "It may be the will of heaven, in the end, the sword body was integrated into its blood and qi, and it was coincidentally integrated, and it was calmed down, and it was subdued by it and regarded as the master." ”
"Did the predecessors say the method of blood training?" He Yu was almost dumbfounded. This method is a demon practice that the righteous path scoffs at and deeply abhors. This method is not only bloody and abnormal, but also very vicious. Often, when you practice it, it will be extremely evil and harmful to the common people. He was immediately startled in his heart, only to hear a "snap", and the sword was thrown from his hand to the ground.
He Yu looked at it in fear, and his heart was full of disgust at this moment.
The man didn't speak again, but saw He Yu and then stunned, staring at Tianao with a stunned expression, stretched out his hand slowly, and picked it up again. The man spoke calmly and asked, "Young man, why do you still pick it up, are you not afraid that it is the work of evil magic, or are you just like those people, and after hearing about his origin, you want to take it for yourself?"
"Nope. No..."He Yu just lowered his head, and his voice was extremely dark: "It's just... Now I'm afraid I'm no different from a demon, how can I still be qualified to dislike this sword that accompanies me every day, accompanies me, and even saves my life?"
"Even if it's evil and brings disaster to the world, you don't mind at all?"
"Heh!" He Yu laughed, raised his face for a long time, and said slowly: "Didn't the seniors see my red hair that has stretched into a full head, and these terrible red eyes?" His gloomy expression, under the red hair, a pair of bright eyes shimmered red, flickering with imperceptible desolation.
"So what?" the man said in a calm tone.
"Hehe, is it funny?" He Yu laughed suddenly, and sneered, "So what? What is this? Yes! What can I change? What else can I do? Isn't this predestined?"
