In a small courtyard in Yuelai Lane in the west of the city.

A group of young people in green shirts were sitting around and discussing something in a lively atmosphere.

Zhu Quan sat in the crowd, looking a little excited, and kept speaking at that time and discussing with everyone.

As the crowd was talking, there was a sudden knock on the door of the courtyard.

Everyone was stunned, and the expressions on their faces were a little nervous.

Zhu Quan was the first to get up, he motioned to everyone not to make a sound, and then walked to the door and asked, "Who?" ”

The person outside the door was silent for a while, and then said, "I'm here to look for it, Zhu Quan Zhu Gongzi." ”

It's a woman's voice.

The young people in the room suddenly looked at Zhu Quan with strange expressions, some with doubts, and some with teasing expressions.

Zhu Quan's expression was a little confused.

He hesitated for a moment, but opened the door at that point.

I saw a woman dressed in black, carrying a silver spear and holding a sack in her hand, standing at the door.

Zhu Quan blinked his eyes and looked the woman up and down.

She looks pretty, with a bit of heroism that ordinary women have never had, and she looks heroic.

"Girl? We know each other? Zhu Quan blinked and looked at the other party in confusion.

"Uncle Zhu asked me to come." The woman said this, placing the sack in her hand on the ground.

Zhu Quan was stunned, but quickly reacted, his face changed suddenly, and his expression was annoyed: "Don't come to persuade me, it's useless, you go back and tell my father, it's impossible for me to practice swords again!" ”

His voice was noticeably louder, and his words directly blocked any possibility of continuing the conversation.

But in the face of his resolute attitude, the woman in front of her looked calm.

She just put the sack in her hand on the ground, pointed, and then looked at Zhu Quanyan and said, "Do you lie in by yourself, or do I put you in after knocking you unconscious?" ”

"Huh?" The woman's strange words made Zhu Quan stunned.

Before he could respond, the woman sighed: "Well, it seems that only I will do it myself!" ”

"It's not ......" Zhu Quan obviously didn't figure out what this woman was going to do.

But the other party was obviously unwilling to give him a chance to say more, and as soon as his words came out, one of the other party's hands stretched out at this time, making a knife shape, and smashed on his neck, at that moment, Zhu Quan's neck was crooked, and the whole person passed out.

Many young people in the room were startled when they saw this scene, they stared at this scene with wide eyes, only to see that the woman skillfully reached out and carried Zhu Quan, who had passed out, into the sack she brought, and then carried the sack on her shoulder, and glanced back at the people in the room.

Everyone's faces turned pale and they withdrew their gazes.

"You go on." The woman smiled at them, and the next moment she left with the sack on her shoulders and without looking back.

……

"The old decay is called Sun Li."

"It's a disciple of Shenhe Peak, and the sword that the little brother saw just now is the spirit sword I got in the Yaoguang Sword Pool back then, called Liaoyuan."

"I've been with me for more than 40 years."

In a wine shop, an old man named Sun Li got up and poured himself a glass of wine, said in his mouth, and handed the wine jug to Chu Qingxiao.

Chu Qingxiao hurriedly said, "I don't drink. ”

Hearing this, Sun Li frowned slightly, and seemed a little strange: "Big man, can you still not drink?" ”

First, the other party is his employer, and second, the other party is much older than him.

He couldn't refute either, just responded with a wry smile.

When Sun Li saw him like this, he didn't want to say anything more, so he sat back again.

Seeing this, Chu Qingxiao hurriedly asked, "Then what is the problem now?" ”

At the mention of this, Sun Li sighed.

"According to the regulations of Tianhang Mountain, if the holder of the spirit sword reaches the age of seventy and does not hold a position in the sect, he should return the spirit sword to the sect."

"Although I am a little reluctant, after all, the old man has been with me for many years, and in the past forty years, we have killed the Wei people in the north together, and cut down the revived Long Kui in the east."

"I've captured extraterritorial heavenly demons, and I've also dealt with mountain bandits."

"My old fellow and I have really experienced many life and death ......"

Sun Li said this, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "So, I am really reluctant." ”

"But at my age, my body is not as good as before, and my cultivation has begun to regress, I can't serve the sect anymore, and I can't fight the sword world like a young man, and the sect will give us some silver every month to support us, although it's not much, but relying on the savings of my youth, it's not difficult to support the elderly. This spirit sword should indeed be sent back and handed over to the younger generations to do chivalrous deeds. ”

"It's been a while, but about a year ago, I made up my mind to send my old man back......"

"Eventuality probably started at that time."

"Tianhang Mountain has always had a rule that whether it is the holder of the Spirit Sword, the King Sword, or the Divine Sword, he cannot personally send the sword to the Yaoguang Sword Pool."

"First, considering that the sword and people have been together for a long time and have a common heart, this act will probably be difficult for people to let go, so the wielder will not be allowed to come to the scene."

"Second, once the Divine Sword enters the Yaoguang Sword Pool, the Spirit Calmer who guards the Yaoguang Sword Pool will let him find a way to put the Divine Sword into a deep sleep and wait for his next master, if the old master is still there, this process will become extremely troublesome."

"So I want my lover to help me send the spirit sword back to the Yaoguang Sword Pool."

"I have been a disciple in Kamigawa Peak for more than forty years, and there are some acquaintances in the door, but there are several disciples one after another, and every time I want to take the sword, my old fellow seems to feel something, and he will kill it from the scabbard and injure the offspring who took the sword."

"There are too many times, and no one on the side of Shenhe Peak is willing to come, and I can't go, so I can only find a way from the Qinghuan Mansion."

"But there are a lot of people who came one after another, at first they were full of confidence, and when they took the sword together, they were chickens and dogs jumping, and they injured several people one after another, if I didn't control them, I was afraid that they would have killed people......"

When Sun Li said this, he couldn't help but sigh, looking a little helpless.

And when Chu Qingxiao heard this, he also understood the whole story.

However, although he had indeed seen the magic of the spirit sword called Liaoyuan before, he still felt incredible.

According to what Sun Li said, the Liaoyuan Sword in his hand obviously has its own consciousness, which is not a strange thing.

But this kind of spiritual consciousness is usually extremely obscurant.

Most of the time, it's more about simply liking and disliking.

And according to what Chu Qingxiao saw in Sun Li's house, the Liaoyuan Sword was more like it already had a consciousness similar to that of a living being......

It was even able to understand Chu Qingxiao's words, so as to react, wanting to attack Chu Qingxiao, and after Sun Li's explanation, it returned to calm, which undoubtedly proved that he could not only understand people's words, but also meant that he could even understand the logic of various relationships between people......

You must know that even the higher-level Earth Demon King Sword and the sword spirit of the Tiangang Divine Sword may not be able to have such a special ability.

"Didn't the seniors think about telling the high-level of Tianhang Mountain about this?" Chu Qingxiao asked again.

In his opinion, it should not be an ordinary thing for this spirit sword to give birth to such a spiritual intelligence, no matter what the purpose, Tianhang Mountain should send some people with advanced cultivation to investigate.

But Sun Li, who heard this, shook his head with a wry smile: "Although I have some acquaintances in Kamigawa Peak, most of them are just old men of the same age as me, and their positions are not too high. ”

"But there are nine divine peaks and tens of thousands of disciples in the Heavenly Hanging Mountain, and there are millions of outer sects and miscellaneous disciples in the Heavenly Hanging City."

"There are so many disciples, everyone has their own affairs, and there are not enough people to deal with them, so they are relatively slow to react."

"If it was before, when it was an inner disciple, it was okay, and you could report the matter directly through Shenfeng. But now retired, nominally the inner door is not fake, but the household registration has been filed to the outer door, this kind of thing wants to be reported must first be reviewed by Tianhang City, and then handed over to the Divine Peak, I have already started to do it a few months ago, but now there is still no response, I think it is a stone sinking into the sea. ”

When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he couldn't help frowning, the old man in front of him had been in Tianhang Mountain for more than 40 years, and he could be regarded as having made great contributions to Tianhang Mountain, but when he was old, Tianhang Mountain's attitude towards him was quite indifferent.

A huge sect, known as the head of the world's swordsmanship, but many actions, but it seems cold and impersonal.

Seeing this, Sun Li secretly thought that Chu Qingxiao felt that the matter was tricky and did not want to interfere anymore.

He sighed, stood up and said, "I know that this matter is troublesome, and among the people who have tried this before, there are many inner disciples who have cultivated to the fourth or fifth realm, but it is difficult to solve this trouble without hurting my old fellow. ”

"Little friends don't have to worry about it, I'll find a way."

Chu Qingxiao was stunned when he heard this, and the reward given by Sun Li was extremely generous, a full five hundred spirit iron jade.

If it can be done, Meng Ziliang's participation in the sword awarding conference will be settled, although this matter does reveal strangeness, but Chu Qingxiao is not willing to miss this opportunity, and hurriedly got up and said: "If the seniors are willing, the juniors want to try again." ”
