Chapter 378: Jade Saint
At the beginning, when Chi Yao gave the Shen Yuan Ancient Sword to Zhang Ruochen, Zhang Ruochen only knew that the material of this sword was special, extremely sharp, and infinitely powerful. But he never thought that it was actually made of Creation Divine Iron.
When Chi Yao obtained the Creation Divine Iron, he must have created two swords, one of which was given to Zhang Ruochen, and the other was kept for himself.
Such a precious divine sword, why did Chi Yao give it to him?
Is it because of love?
Since it was love, why did she kill Zhang Ruochen with her own hands later?
It's just incomprehensible.
Suddenly, thousands of thoughts appeared in Zhang Ruochen's mind, and he became even more confused.
Lu Fantian stared at the broken sword in Lu Xuan's hand, and said suspiciously: "Little sister, are you wrong! This is a blood sword?"
"Certainly not the Blood Swords. ”
Lu Xuan rolled his eyelids and said, "Legend has it that the blood-dripping sword, the whole body is as white as jade, containing divine essence, which can devour the blood of humans and brute beasts and improve the level of the sword. Later, it was stained with the blood of hundreds of millions of people and turned into a blood-red sword. With the current power of the Blood Spilling Sword, as long as it is out of the body, blood clouds will appear in the sky within a radius of thousands of miles. ”
Lu Fantian was even more puzzled, and said, "You just said that in the entire Kunlun Realm, only Empress Chi Yao got a piece of Creation Divine Iron and forged it into a blood-dripping sword. Now, how could there be another sword made of Divine Iron? Moreover, it was a broken sword. You're not going to look away, are you?"
Lu Xuan's fingers gently touched his chin and said, "I also have some doubts...... However, the material of this broken sword is exactly the same as the description of the Creation Divine Iron in the "Instrument Codex". ”
"Legend has it that when Empress Chi Yao forged the Blood Sword, she summoned the ten most powerful refiners in the Kunlun Realm at that time, and it took eighty-one days to successfully forge and refine it in the Sun, Moon and Heavenly Pool. At that time, the ancestor of our Divine Sword Holy Land was also one of the ten refiners. Since this is the case, then I will take this broken sword now and go to see Taigong, maybe his old man will know some secrets. ”
Lu Futian nodded and said, "You should indeed tell the princess." ”
Then, Lu Fantian's eyes stared at Zhang Ruochen again, and he was even more curious in his heart, could it be that he was neither a student of the Wushi Academy Palace, nor a disciple of Tai Chi Dao, but a person sent by Empress Chi Yao?
Lu Xuan took the Shen Yuan Ancient Sword and was about to return to the Divine Sword Holy Land, when suddenly, she stopped, turned around, and asked, "Hey, what's your name?" Also, tell me the poem you said earlier, I'll help you ask. ”
"Zhang Ruochen. ”
Zhang Ruochen read out a poem and said: "People in the deep forest don't know, the bright moon comes to take pictures." Thank you, girl. ”
"My name is Lu Xuan!
A string of wind chime-like laughter sounded, and then, Lu Xuan dodged a few times and disappeared into the spiritual mountain.
Lu Fantian was still standing in place, staring at Zhang Ruochen curiously, and said, "Zhang Ruochen." Why have I heard this name before, with your strength, you shouldn't be so nameless. Is this your real name?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "I don't need to use a pseudonym, with the power of the Divine Sword Holy Land, it is easy to find out my identity." ”
Lu Futian nodded, and said: "Your strength is not weak, but it's a pity that the cultivation realm is still a little worse, if you really fight, you may not be able to catch my ten moves." ”
In front of a master like Lu Fantian, there is nothing to hide at all, and if you want to hide it, you can't hide it. With that move just now, Lu Fantian already roughly knew the level of Zhang Ruochen's realm.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen also roughly guessed Lu Chuantian's strength, and he was indeed a very powerful opponent.
Previously, Lu Xuan said that he was able to rank in the top ten of the young generation in the Eastern Regions, which is probably not a lie.
......
Excalibur Holy Land, Jade Holy Spirit Mountain.
The Jade Holy Spirit Mountain is the first of the eighteen spiritual mountains. The lord of Lingshan, named Lu Huaiyu, is known as the "Jade Saint".
The Jade Saint looked to be already gray-haired, with a face full of furrows, eighty or ninety years old, and his body was so thin that he could reveal the shape of his bones. However, his eyes were as bright as two stars, capable of containing infinite wisdom and emitting eternal light.
At this moment, the Jade Sage was holding the Shen Yuan Ancient Sword, and the whole person was extremely excited, his hands were trembling, and his mouth was reading:
"People in the deep forest don't know, the bright moon comes to take pictures. ”
"People in the deep forest don't know, the bright moon comes to take pictures. ”
......
After reciting it three times in a row, Yu Sheng calmed down the excitement in his heart, put the Shen Yuan Ancient Sword on the stone platform next to him, stared at Lu Xuan with his eyes, and said with an expectant look: "What is the name of that person, how old is it, and what else does he say besides this poem?"
Lu Xuan knelt in the center of the temple in an orderly manner, and glanced up slightly, it was the first time he had seen the old ancestor so excited.
You must know that the old ancestor is a sage, a person who has lived for more than 400 years.
How can you be so excited?
Next to him, Lu Xuan's grandfather Lu Jingyuan and her grandfather Lu Chongyu also knelt in the holy scriptures, looking very respectful.
Seeing that Lu Xuan hadn't answered the words of the old ancestor for a long time, Lu Jingyuan immediately glared at her and said in a low voice: "Xuan'er, the old ancestor is asking you, what are you stunned?"
Lu Xuan trembled, immediately reacted, bowed on the ground, and hurriedly said: "Back to the ancestor, that person's name is Zhang Ruochen, and he is about twenty years old." ”
When Yusheng heard the words "Zhang Ruochen", his brows furrowed slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression, and after a while, as if he had thought of something, his face changed, "How can it be this name......?"
The Jade Sage's eyes showed a light of wisdom, and he asked again, "Where is he now?"
"It's at the Sword Monument. Lu Xuan said.
Yusheng said: "Immediately invite him to Yushengling Mountain, and he must be well received, and he must not be neglected." ”
He seemed a little uneasy, and then said, "Lu Chongyu, you go and pick him up." Remember, try not to let outsiders see you, and bring him directly to me. ”
After Lu Chongyu left, Lu Xuan and Lu Jingyuan also walked out of the temple.
Lu Xuan stuck out his tongue, a little puzzled, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, what is the origin of that kid, the old ancestor actually asked the grandfather to pick him up in person, and the face is too big!"
Lu Jingyuan's face was serious, and he said: "Xuan'er, the origin of this person is probably even bigger than we imagined, just now the old ancestor has sent me a secret message, so that I can't confide a word to the outside world." ”
Lu Xuan grew his mouth, revealing an incredible expression, and in his mind, he recalled Zhang Ruochen's figure, his heart was a little crooked, and he muttered in a low voice, "In addition to being a little handsome, he doesn't seem to have anything remarkable." ”
......
A moment later, under the leadership of Lu Chongyu, Zhang Ruochen came to the temple of the Jade Holy Spirit Mountain and met the Jade Saint, Lu Huaiyu.
Lu Chongyu retreated, and in the temple, only Zhang Ruochen and Yusheng were left.
Yusheng looked at Zhang Ruochen carefully, and after a while, he asked, "Are you a person sent by Mingtang?"
Mingtang, a force created by Emperor Ming's old department, like the Moon Worship Demon Sect, has always been active in the Kunlun realm to resist the rule of Empress Chi Yao.
It's just that Mingtang's power is mainly distributed in Middle Earth and Kyushu, and its power in the eastern, southern, western, and northern regions is relatively weak.
Therefore, Mingtang's influence in the Eastern Regions is not so strong.
Although Zhang Ruochen had not been in contact with the people of Mingtang, he knew the existence of Mingtang, and after Yusheng asked this sentence, he was not surprised.
Zhang Ruochen said: "I'm not from Mingtang. ”
Yusheng said: "Since you are not from Mingtang, why do you know that poem?"
Zhang Ruochen glanced upward, and the old man sitting above was not his sixth senior brother Lu Yuanzhi, so he was still defensive in his heart, and he didn't dare to say his identity easily.
Zhang Ruochen pondered for a moment, arched his hand slightly, and said: "The younger generation has unspeakable secrets, and there are some words that I will only answer when I see Lu Yuanzhi's senior." ”
Yusheng frowned slightly, and said: "Lu Yuanzhi is the grandfather of the old man, don't you know that his old man passed away three hundred years ago." ”
"What? He's ...... Passed away......"
Although Zhang Ruochen had expected this to be the result, he was still very sad when he heard Yusheng say it himself.
Eight hundred years have passed, and it is indeed a vicissitudes of life, and even the sages will die of old age.
Yusheng said again: "Now, the old man is the master of the Divine Sword Holy Land, if you have anything or something, tell the old man directly." Perhaps, the old man can help you too. ”
Zhang Ruochen naturally couldn't tell Yusheng, because he only believed in the sixth senior brother Lu Yuanzhi.
Someone else, can you be trusted?
What happened back then was so strange that even Zhang Ruochen's favorite loved one killed him with his own sword, who else can believe it?
Now, Chi Yao has been on the throne for 500 years, and the power of the imperial court is in full swing, sweeping away ** and ruling all directions, how dare Zhang Ruochen casually expose his identity?
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, bowed again, and said, "Junior, I just came to cultivate the sword, and there is nothing else." ”
The Jade Sage's eyes showed a look of disappointment, his eyes looked at the broken sword, and then he smiled: "Old man takes the liberty of asking, where did you get this broken sword?"
Zhang Ruochen replied calmly: "The younger generation found it in the Wu City of Yunwu County, and at that time I thought that its material was special, so I bought it. Later, many refining masters were invited, but it was not possible to repair it. The younger generation heard that the Holy Land of the Divine Sword was a holy land for refining weapons, so they came to visit Master Lu without knowing the height of the sky, and wanted to ask Master Lu to help cultivate the sword. Unexpectedly, Master Lu had passed away three hundred years ago. ”
Jade Saint said: "In other words, before that, you didn't know that this sword was forged with Creation Divine Iron?"
"That's right. Zhang Ruochen said.
Yusheng smiled and said, "Back then, the Divine Sword Holy Land also participated in sword casting, and the old man knew some secrets about the Creation of Divine Iron and this sword. Are you interested in knowing?"
Zhang Ruochen knew that Yusheng was deliberately testing him.
