Chapter 44: The Past
In the thatched house, Huang Cong looked around, but he didn't see the master, and when he came in, he lowered his head and respectfully for a long time.
Looking at the simple furnishings inside, Huang Cong whispered: "Why doesn't this place look like a place where the head of the house lives?"
At this moment, a magnetic voice unique to a middle-aged man sounded: "Why doesn't this place look like the place where the head of the house lives, then where do you tell the head of the house to live?"
After finishing speaking, I saw a middle-aged simple Tsing Yi, who walked in elegantly, without a sense of majesty on his body, Huang Cong had secretly glanced at the head of the competition a few times before, and he recognized it in an instant, but why is the momentum of the two so different?
"Why don't you salute when you see the boss?" the middle-aged man pretended to be angry.
Huang Cong immediately sobered up from his contemplation and said, "Meet the master, disciple Huang Lin is invited to come." β
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "Okay, come and sit down, I'll help you make a cup of tea." β
As soon as these words came out, Huang Cong instantly thundered, what kind of treatment is this master making tea for his disciples? Hurriedly said: "The disciple doesn't dare," he was still thinking in his heart: "Is this still the majestic and domineering head of Liu Han that I saw in the martial arts arena that day?"
The head of Liu Han smiled: "Do you dare not drink it or are you afraid that I will be poisoned?"
There is a row of black lines on Huang Cong's forehead.
After a while, Liu Han came over with a cup of tea, although Huang Cong didn't understand tea, but the fragrance of the tea had already made him fascinated, taking advantage of the inattention, he secretly took a small sip, and sighed: "This tea is too bitter!"
Liu Han said: "Do you know why I summoned you here today?"
Huang Cong hurriedly put down the cup in his hand and said respectfully: "I don't know." β
Liu Han walked to the window lightly and sighed: "My senior brother Gu Yazi has read countless people in his life, and his skills are unfathomable, originally the position of the head of the family was his, but because in his lifetime, he led a person back to the Sword Sect, and since then there have been great changes, and he has also left the position of head because of this change and traveled all over the world." β
Huang Cong listened carefully, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.
Liu Han looked lonely as if he had mentioned some bitter past, and said: "The person he brought back is called 'You' by everyone, and you must have heard of this person!"
Huang Cong was shocked at this time, because this 'You' was the most mysterious of all the disciples.
Seeing that Huang Cong nodded, Liu Han said: "Senior brother is really not mistaken, under the cultivation of the sect, 'You' has risen rapidly, and in just one year, he has grown from an outer disciple to the first inner disciple, no one can surpass him, and he has also made a lot of contributions to the sect, and every time he comes back from the external interview and training, he has brought a lot of cultivation resources to the sect." β
"At that time, 'You' had already been included in the list of core disciples, and he would have the opportunity to compete for the head of the sect in the future, but at this time, 'You' exposed his ambitions, and when the sect elders were defenseless against him, he killed the two elders of the sect's forbidden land and stole the treasure of the sect's town, the glazed sword. β
"The reason why this sect can be called the best in Sword Continent is because of this divine sword left by the founding ancestor, as for this divine sword, I won't say much. β
Huang Cong exclaimed at this time: "It is rumored in the sect that 'You' never came back during a trial trip because he stole this sword and fled?"
Liu Han nodded, and said: "Yes, this faction also has hardships that I can't say, if we go after 'You' on a big scale, it will definitely let other sword sects know that we have lost the treasure of the town faction, I am afraid that when the time comes, we will come together to oppress this faction, and it will end up with a big joke." β
Huang Cong said: "Isn't there any measures for the Sword Sect?"
Liu Han sighed again and said, "We have privately sent people everywhere to find the whereabouts of 'You', but 'You' seems to have evaporated from the world, and no matter how we look for it, we can't find it." Now there is only one last chance left. β
Huang Cong said with a little emptiness: "It has something to do with me?"
Liu Han nodded: "The Treasure Glass Sword of the Town Sect of this faction has long been broken, and half of it is broken in the Dark City that only opens once in a hundred years, I think the 'You' has also discovered the secret of the Glass Sword, and it will definitely appear in the big competition of all the sects in the Sword Continent in three months, and obtain the qualification to enter the Dark City, so I hope you can enter the Dark City and take out the glass sword for the Dark City." β
Speaking of this, Huang Cong already had a trace of understanding in his heart, and combined with the previous things, he sorted out a clue, and said: "First of all, I came in with a token, and the owner of that token was the former head of Gu Yazi, so when I came in, you all ignored me and secretly paid attention to me, right, are you afraid that I will be like 'You'?"
Liu Han smiled: "That's not the case, your token was indeed given by Uncle Shi, and we all believe in Uncle Shi's vision, but Uncle Shi doesn't worry about himself, because of the 'You' thing, he left the position of the head of the house, and has been traveling all over the world just to find 'You' to make up for the knot in his heart." β
"After that incident happened back then, according to my uncle's skills, he should have been younger than me, but he turned white overnight, like an old man, so he secretly instructed us to observe you all the way. β
Huang Cong said: "Then do you really believe me, and why do you think that I am sure to get back the glass sword for my sect, since 'You' can even kill the elders in the sect, how can I be his opponent?"
Liu Han didn't answer in a hurry, but took a sip of tea by himself, and said slowly: "No matter what kind of point a person has reached, he should not forget his original intention, and we all see what you have done to Erniu, so I can be sure of your character, secondly, everyone's potential is unlimited, just like you are obviously not as good as the Oriental Qingfeng, but you can defeat him, since my senior brother brought back one for this sect for the first time." I think that the senior brother brought you back for the second time, you can continue to create a legend, I believe you!"
After speaking, Huang Cong looked a little embarrassed, and said: "But with my strength, I must not be the opponent of that 'You', although I have entered the level of a military general, but wasn't that 'You' already a few years ago? β
Liu Han said: "Don't worry about this, do you know why Dark City only allows people under the age of twenty-five who have reached the level of military generals to participate? It is because of the special nature of Dark City, even if you have the strength to the sky, you will be suppressed after entering, even if you have already broken through to a higher level before the age of twenty-five? β
Seeing that Huang Cong was still a little uneasy, Liu Han said again: "I remember hearing the elders say before that the opening of the Dark City a hundred years ago, because there were many old antiques that could not break through the bottleneck, Shou Yuan was about to run out, and he wanted to go to the Dark City to see what opportunities he had, so he ignored the agreement among the sects and entered with his own Martial Emperor or even a higher level, but after entering, his cultivation was suppressed, not only did he not get his own chance, but he was beaten to death by the young and powerful disciples of various sects, and there were many jokes. β
Speaking of this, Liu Han took another sip of tea and sighed: "It's a pity that they have a terrifying cultivation, and they were beaten to death by several generals level disciples after entering!"
Hearing this, Huang Cong didn't know how to refute it, and asked, "Then what should I do?"
Liu Han smiled: "This is the point, you don't have to participate in the big competition of your own faction, during this time, you can go directly to the outside interview and practice, and come back directly after three months to see the total competition of Jianzhou, I can leave a place for you." β
Huang Cong thought for a moment and asked, "But in this way, those sect disciples and those elder sects will not have any opinions, right?" Why don't you arrange more people to deal with You?"
Liu Han seemed to have a trace of anger, put the cup on the table, and said: "The head of the sect is still me now, what objections can they have, do you know why I will summon you here alone? Because this sect is about to change, many elders are peeking at my position because of the theft of the glass sword of this sect, in fact, I don't care about the position of the head of the sect, it is not mine, I just want to help the senior brother complete his heart knot, not to mention that I suspect that someone secretly helped back then." You stole the glass sword of this faction, as for who it is, I think I will understand after this Dark City. β
At this time, Liu Han took out a ring from his arms, handed it to Huang Cong, and said: "The reason why you are allowed to go out for trial is actually to protect you, as for which of the sect are their own people and which are those who have ulterior motives, it doesn't matter anymore, everyone is secretly fighting, just let them fight, this ring is just a little bit of my heart." β
Huang Cong took the ring and looked at it secretly, there was nothing special, Liu Han saw him with a thoughtful expression, and said: "That's the storage ring, you can know the mystery by dropping a drop of blood." β
After finishing speaking, Huang Cong bit his finger and dripped it, and suddenly a tightly connected feeling came to his heart, and when he looked inside, he found that there was a huge space inside the ring, the size of ten thatched houses, and there was a book in the innermost, what kind of book it was, and he didn't look too much at it.
Liu Han smiled: "This ring is not an ordinary storage ring, an ordinary storage ring is generally the size of a table, and this ring I gave you not only has a large space, but also can be loaded with both dead and living things."
Huang Cong laughed a few times, and said secretly: "Why does this boss feel more and more like he is buying himself the more he listens to it? β
Liu Han saw Huang Cong's face with joy, and said: "I also gave you a book of martial arts inside, you can take a look at it when you have time, it will help you, in addition, if you can successfully bring back the glass sword for this faction, this faction will directly treat you as a core disciple, and you can compete for the future head of the family." β
Before Huang Cong left, he also asked a question: "No matter how talented the 'You' was back then, he was just an inner disciple, why did some elders help him seize the glass sword?"
Liu Han said: "Actually, those elders want to seize the glazed sword themselves, because they peep into the position of the master, but they are afraid of failure, so they instigate the 'ghost' to steal it, because when they get the glazed sword, they will comprehend the mystery of the swordsmanship of the three thousand steps in front of the mountain gate, and I am afraid that the entire sword continent will have no opponent at that time, but it is a pity that the ambition of the 'ghost' is greater than theirs, and after stealing it, it will directly belong to themselves and disappear between everyone, of course, those elders who helped the 'ghost' steal the sword did not sue sΓΉ' The mystery of the swordsmanship of the glazed sword is there, but it is just that this is a divine sword. β
Only then did Huang Cong remember what he had felt on the steps when he first began to enter the Sword Sect, and asked abruptly, "How do you know that those ambitious elders didn't tell the secret of the 'Quiet' Glass Sword Heart Method?"
Liu Han seemed to be a little impatient at this time, but he still replied with a smile on his face: "You really have nothing to do when I am the head of the sect, I always pay attention to the entire mountain gate, and I know every grass and tree clearly!"
After a stick of incense, Huang Cong asked some other questions, and then left the thatched house.
