"There was an old prophecy that there would be a man who would break down the barriers and break the place of death, but until now, that man has not been seen. ”

"But," Dong Xuan's eyes flickered, "Maybe, it could be him." ”

"Who?" Gu Xuan wondered.

Dong Xuan shook his head, didn't say anything more, and continued to walk forward with him. Until they reached the northeast corner of the secret realm, there was a strange aura here, and the gray mist covered this place, and it was less than three feet away as far as the eye could see.

"Master, what kind of place is this?" Gu Xuan felt cold behind him, but Dong Xuan didn't speak, just moved forward.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, in the mist, suddenly there was a light curtain in front of Gu Xuan, and there was a white jade tube in the light curtain, and on the coffin, there was a simple long sword.

The long sword is very ordinary, wide and without a blade, and on both sides of the long sword, many runes are inscribed. There were still some blood stains on the sword that had been dry for a long time, already glowing black, and it was stained with dirt.

"Do you know this sword?" Dong Hyun asked him.

Gu Xuan suddenly became excited and said, "Could it be that this is the artifact I sent the Shocking Sword?"

"Artifact?" Dong Xuan said with some bitterness: "The world thinks that the Thrilling Sword is an artifact, but I think that this is a magic sword. ”

"Demon Sword?" Gu Xuan looked at him puzzled.

Dong Xuan said: "Do you think, why did the ancestor seal the Shocking Sword, and strictly ordered that the masters of the past dynasties should not touch it, if it was a divine sword, it should have been used to deter the Quartet." ”

"Why is that?" Gu Xuan said curiously.

"It's a cursed sword. Dong Xuan whispered.

"This sword was a great scourge in ancient times, but everyone who used it suffered the power of the curse, and the end was very miserable. Back then, the ancestor accidentally got the Thrilling Sword, and he became famous with this sword, but he also sat down because of this sword. ”

"What curse?" Gu Xuan continued to ask.

Dong Xuan sighed, his hand was frosted, and a spiritual light hit the white jade coffin.

The white jade coffin trembled, making a buzzing sound, and the whole was translucent, and the contents could be seen.

"That's?!" Gu Xuan felt terrified after seeing what was inside, his back was cold, and he involuntarily took a few steps back.

In the pure and immaculate white jade coffin, there was red blood flowing, and in the blood soaked in the blood was a humanoid monster, his face was hideous and terrifying, his palms seemed to be the claws of some kind of fierce beast, covered with scales, and his nails were very long and sharp.

His eyes rolled white, fangs sprouted from the corners of his mouth, and there was unclotted blood in his mouth, like a bloodthirsty Shura in hell.

"What is this!" Gu Xuan said in shock.

The corners of Dong Xuan's mouth were closed, and he said with sadness: "This is the patriarch of this sect." ”

"What?!" Gu Xuan was shocked, is the patriarch of this sect a monster?"

"He was cursed by the sword, and he changed in his old age, so he sat down. Moreover, the power of the curse did not dissipate with his death, do you know why every generation of the sect has died tragically for hundreds of years, and my Shocking Sect was once very prosperous, and it also declined because of this. ”

Gu Xuan listened quietly, he knew that it was the great secret of Jinghong, and Dong Xuan was going to tell him all this.

"When the patriarch died, the curse was suppressed with the cultivation of the Dao King. But over the centuries, the power of the Patriarch has been depleted, and the power of the curse has been regenerated for each generation of Masters. ”

He was so grief-stricken that he trembled with emotion: "Whenever the curse erupts, the patriarch will wake up and kill the current master with his own hands, who is his heir, his disciples and grandchildren, but he will be killed by his own hands." ”

At his level, the old monster who has lived for hundreds of years has already been very indifferent to feelings. Now that he mentions this matter, he will also lose his temper, but thinking about the helplessness in his heart, he has a peak cultivation, but he can only watch and can't stop all this.

"I fought against him, but I was no match for him at all, and if it weren't for me, I wouldn't be alive now. "Dong Xuan was stunned, several generations of masters were highly qualified geniuses, who could have made Jinghong prosperous, but in the end he died in vain.

"In recent years, I have vaguely felt that the opportunity for a breakthrough is coming, but an inexplicable power has also descended on me, I think it is a curse force, and his next target may be me. ”

Gu Xuan was stunned, did Dong Xuan also suffer the power of the curse?

Dong Xuan recovered a little emotion and said softly: "He does not allow the children of this sect to give birth to Dao Kings, and the inheritance he gave will also be exterminated by his own hands." ”

"Isn't there a way to resolve it?" Gu Xuan said, his mood was also very complicated, and the hatred that he had hated him to the bone had now eased.

Dong Xuan was silent, and only after a moment did he say, "Maybe there is a way." He looked at Gu Xuan: "This needs your help." ”

"Me?" Gu Xuan was stunned, "How can I help?"

Dong Xuan said: "The source of all this comes from the Shocking Sword, and if you want to crack it, you can't send it away." ”

"Won't there be the power of the curse if you send it away?"

Dong Xuan shook his head: "If it dies again, I'm afraid it's useless, but if you take it to the outside world, there are barriers to isolate it, maybe it can be resolved." ”

Gu Xuan understood: "You mean, you want me to bring it into the battle domain?"

Dong Xuan said: "Holding this sword, you can't use spiritual power, otherwise it will trigger the power of the curse, and you have to cultivate it." More than 20 years ago, I had this plan, but unfortunately there were changes at that time. ”

His eyes were bright, and he stared at Gu Xuan and said, "Are you willing to take a risk for the Thrilling Flood Sect?" However, this is likely to endanger your life, if you are unwilling, I will not force it." ”

Gu Xuan didn't answer, but asked, "If I don't take it away, will you die?"

Dong Xuan nodded: "It's not just me, Jinghong will die sooner or later because of it." ”

Gu Xuan struggled inwardly, torn between revenge and responsibility. He thought of a lot, thought of Xia Yi, Gong Bochang, as well as Gu Chi, Gu Zhanhua and others, and thought of the time when he came to Jinghong Mountain. Suddenly, he found that he had a feeling for this place, and that was where he first grew up.

People are not plants and trees, and they can be ruthless, even monks.

In the end, he had a choice, even if he wanted revenge, he had to be above board and defeat him.

"I entrust this matter to you without reservation, and I hope that you will do your best to complete it. Dong Xuan said, he stretched out his palm, and the palms and fingers were covered with layers of spiritual power, and he pulled the Shocking Sword from the white jade coffin in the air.

Thundered.

As the Shocking Sword slowly rose, the space near the white jade coffin shook violently, this magic sword was too terrifying, and it had such a movement before it was used.

Roar!

Just when the Thrilling Sword was about to leave the white jade coffin. A roar suddenly came out from the white jade coffin, like a fierce beast, the monster that the Shocking Patriarch turned into, one paw suddenly poked out and lifted the lid of the white jade coffin, and grabbed the Shocking Sword that was about to leave.

"What's going on, is he going to be resurrected?" Gu Xuan was terrified.

Dong Xuan's face was solemn, he pinched the trick with one hand, raised his hand and slapped it, and the five-colored light burst out in his hand and landed on the beast's claws.

One after another, symbols emerged from the five-colored brilliance and landed on the beast's claws, emitting a scorched smell before exploding.

Dong Xuan kept pinching tricks to suppress the beast's claws. The founding patriarch Chihong Zhenren in the white jade coffin, his body was half up and half down, he wanted to come out, but he was suppressed by some force.

"Lingyan, seal!"

Dong Xuan shouted, and a rune covered the entire white jade coffin, forming a colorful light curtain on it, and there were thousands of runes in the light curtain, constantly flashing alternately, pressing the entire beast claw back into the white jade coffin.

Dong Xuan waved his hand and lifted the lid of the white jade coffin back, and Chihong Zhenren was furious in it, constantly bombarding the white jade coffin. Fortunately, the white jade coffin is made of extraordinary material and can withstand it.

Dong Xuan drew another array pattern in his hand, glowing with streamers, and hit the white jade coffin. Gu Xuan was surprised, he didn't see that this Dongxuan was still a formation pattern master, and he was laying a formation pattern to seal the white jade coffin.

It took about half an hour before the white jade coffin quieted down, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a good thing it's just an instinctive reaction, otherwise it's another catastrophe. Dong Xuan took the Shocking Sword, turned over his hand and took out a piece of animal skin, and wound it layer by layer.

"This is a piece of divine beast skin that the patriarch once obtained, and wrapping it in this way can isolate it from you. Remember, after entering the war realm, it must not be opened, let alone stained with blood, otherwise, it will awaken. ”

"It's sleeping?" Gu Xuan was surprised.

Dong Xuan nodded: "There is a spirit in it, and it also took the initiative to choose the ancestor in the first place." Here, there are few living beings, it is in a deep sleep, and in the outside world, the aura is rich and there are many living beings, and there is a possibility of recovery. ”

"When he recovers, will he choose a new master? ”

Dong Xuan shook his head: "Now it is connected to the Amazing Hung Luck, even if it is chosen, it will only choose the Amazing Hung disciples." ”

"It's in your hands, and the best chance of choosing you. You have to remember that when you get to the war realm, find a portal to the outside world, send it out, and don't be nostalgic. ”

Gu Xuan nodded, indicating that he understood.

"It's linked to Shocking Luck, and I'll try to seal it these days to make sure that when you take him away, it won't cause turmoil. ”

......

Gu Xuan came out of the secret realm and returned to Hongfeng, and was called by Gong Bochang.

After Gu Xuan saluted, he said, "Master, what are you looking for me?"

Gong Bochang instructed: "I know that you have a strong temperament, go to the palace here, and try not to fight with the Tianjiao of all races, so as not to form a grudge." ”

Gu Xuan promised that as long as the other party did not provoke, he would naturally not make enemies.

"Just now, I discussed with Uncle Shen and decided to hand over the Shocking Xuan formula to you. When you go to the war domain, you can't do without the art of self-protection, the power of the Astounding Mystery Style is amazing, learn it, and I can feel at ease. ”

Gu Xuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Astonishing Xuan is Xuanfeng's mastery, can I also learn it?"

Gong Bochang nodded and said: "You haven't practiced the Amazing Sword, so naturally the two will not conflict, but fortunately, Uncle Shen also agreed to teach you this style." ”

"Will he agree so easily? I'm afraid that Master, what did you use to exchange it with him? Gu Xuan saw through it at a glance that Uncle Shen was not a good person.
