Jing Xuan's courage was already small, he was still a little nervous, and he asked hesitantly: "You, are you a human or a ghost?"

The old man shook his head and said: "Little baby, it's not polite at all to see the elders, I think when I was young, I was also good-looking, a talent, although I am dying of old age now, but you can't see a little bit of my demeanor back then?"

Jing Xuan trembled and said, "You, where did you come from?"

The old man said, "You are asking this, obviously I came to this ancestral temple first, and you came in later, why do you not distinguish between coming first and then coming, but ask me where I came from? ”

Jing Xuan thought to himself, no, when he came into the Patriarch Temple to kowtow just now, he didn't find anyone in this Patriarch Temple, and now he said that he came to the Patriarch Temple first, it's really too strange, is there a living person in this Patriarch Temple, he didn't find out? Jing Xuan saw the old man ask him where he came from, so he honestly told his origin.

The old man listened to Jing Xuan's words, smiled, and said, "You turned out to be an apprentice of Lone Xingyun, no wonder you are so obsessed with swords. The old man's words seemed a little frivolous, as if he was very contemptuous of Lone Xingyun.

Jing Xuan really couldn't figure out the background of this old man, so he begged for mercy and said, "Grandpa, it's freezing this day, just let me go, I'm really cold and I can't stand it, this sword is heavy." ”

The old man said: "This is a sword made of stone, of course it is heavy, why don't you put it back quickly, what is the use of this stone-breaking sword?"

Jing Xuan said: "Grandpa, this is not an ordinary sword, this is a fairy sword, the power is huge, I have seen it when it exerts its power, earth-shattering power." ”

The old man smiled and said, " Call me grandpa, this title is really strange, there are really few people who call me that on this Cloud Ridge, let me tell you, the sword soul of this sword has dissipated, this sword was polished with the stone under the ice of the extreme north for thousands of years, and then after the master with this sword is inseparable, and the continuous experience of slaying demons and demons, this sword has been nourished by aura in this Cloud Ridge, which has slowly become a rare fairy sword in the world, but when the master passed away, this sword was eclipsed, and slowly became an ordinary sword, the reason why this sword returned to its former power a few days ago, probably because it wants to complete some unfinished things for its master, and now that the thing is done, this sword naturally loses its former power, and you are now holding him and taking him out, it is really a futile move. ”

Jing Xuan listened to what the old man said There was some truth, maybe this old man was really not a ghost, thinking of this, Jing Xuan's nervous heart relaxed a little, and said: "This sword must have been sealed by some force, as long as it can open the sealed power, this sword will definitely be able to restore its powerful power." ”

The old man shook his head with a smile and said: "Be smart, you new disciples, you are rich in imagination, the sword after this seal is often shrouded in a faint light shield on the sword, which is used by the caster to suppress the powerful power of the sword itself that is not easy to control, do you see that the stone sword you are holding in your arms now has a light shield on it?"

Jing Xuan took a closer look at the stone sword, and sure enough, he couldn't see the slightest light shield on it, what the old man said just now did remind Jing Xuan, Gu Xingyun once said that the sword body of this sealing sword has the characteristics of this light mask, this old man is not talking nonsense, just said that some time ago, Jing Xuan saw it with his own eyes, as soon as the head of the family opened the morning star sword that had been handed down by the head of the past dynasties and was rare in the world, there was a white light faintly shrouded in the morning sword.

Jing Xuan held the stone sword in both hands, he had forgotten his fear at this time, he drooped his head, and said disappointedly: "It's a pity, it seems that my swordsmanship will never improve, I don't have the talent to learn swordsmanship." ”

The old man's face showed a smug smile again, and said: "Interesting, you baby is really interesting, you are only young, why don't you have any confidence in yourself at all?

Jing Xuan looked at the old man in surprise and said, "Old man, you said that you will change the study of swordsmanship?" This, do you mean that I should change my master to learn, no, no, this must not be, this master can't worship casually." As he spoke, Jing Xuan thought to himself, could it be that this old man knows what kind of advanced swordsmanship?

The old man said: "Of course, one master is enough, but this swordsmanship, there is no need to stick to the one that is lonely and traveling, although the swordsmanship of Lonely Xingyun is exquisite, but unfortunately it may not be suitable for you, I see that you are smart, if you can change to a suitable swordsmanship, maybe you will be successful." ”

Jing Xuan said: "Grandpa, then you say, what swordsmanship do I learn?"

The old man smiled and said, "You're not afraid that your master will know about it and scold you?"

Jing Xuan thought about it carefully and said, "It's just that my swordsmanship is really poor, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the master won't even bother to scold me, and it will be bad to drive me down the mountain when the time comes." ”

"Hahaha. The old man was amused by Jing Xuan's words, and said: "You are really sincere in what you say, you can't learn the swordsmanship of walking alone, I have several swordsmanship here, you can learn what you can learn, and when your swordsmanship is exquisite, won't your master drive you down the mountain?"

When Jing Xuan heard this, he said happily: "Grandpa, what kind of swordsmanship is it, you can teach me quickly." ”

The old man pointed to a majestic and magnificent building complex floating on pumice stones in the distance in Yunwu Ridge, and said, "You go there to learn." ”

When Jing Xuan looked at the building, he was startled and said, "Grandpa, isn't that a library building? How can I go there?"

The old man smiled mysteriously and said, "Why can't you go?" So, you can wait for me downstairs tomorrow night, and I will take you up." ”

Jing Xuan was a little scared and said: "This, our new disciples can't go in this library casually, so don't go, I still don't learn this swordsmanship." ”

The old man shook his head and said, "Stupid, stupid, if you don't learn this advanced swordsmanship, won't you be afraid that your master will scold you?"

Jing Xuan said embarrassedly: "However, I heard that only a few people in charge of this library can enter, and even those senior disciples can't enter and exit casually, if I go, if I am discovered, then I will not be driven down the mountain." ”

The old man said, "Don't worry, with me, I won't be discovered." ”

As soon as Jing Xuan heard the old man say this, he said, "Old man, who are you?"

The old man smiled knowingly and said, "Put this stone sword back quickly, and I'll see you downstairs tomorrow night."

Jing Xuan still wanted to say a few more words, but the old man's voice fell, but the person had disappeared, Jing Xuan hurriedly ran into the ancestral temple and put the stone sword back on the mat respectfully, and bowed a few more times, then ran out of the ancestral temple, the snow outside was still falling, Jing Xuan remembered that the snow was also falling big just now, because he was too nervous, his hands had been frozen red by the snow falling in the sky and he was unconscious, but the old man seemed to have no snow on his body just now, the more Jing Xuan thought about it, the more evil he became, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, he ran back to the residence, and saw Ye Qiu coming to greet him, and then his heart was completely relaxed and calm。
