Volume 4 Fireworks in Troubled Times Chapter 78 The Great Elder's Secret
This was the first time Li Chen stood on the ground of the stars, he didn't expect that there would be another trial after the sword pool, let alone that he would see a living person here.
After being down-to-earth, it was like a legendary fairyland, in the mist formed by Yuan Li, only a white dress was seen at the end, but when you looked at the back, you noticed the fierce sword qi.
Li Chen had seen this kind of sharpness on Cui Hao's body, but compared to the two of them, Cui Hao's qi was as weak as a candle flame lit at noon.
Li Chen tried to mobilize the Yuan Force and communicate with the Lone Life Sword, in case he could have the ability to resist at any time in a moment of crisis, but found that the Yuan Force in the meridians in front of this person was stagnant, like entering a swamp.
Li Chen suddenly understood that the person in front of him must have surpassed the Tongtian Bridge, stronger than the seriously injured Truss Ze at the beginning, and he did not have such panic in the face of Truss Ze that day.
He even gave birth to an absurd guess: Could it be that this person is Taibai recorded in the stone tablet?
Thinking about it this way, he calmed down, in the face of such a strongman, he would never have the ability to fight back, since this is the case, it doesn't matter whether he is defensive or not.
Li Chen lowered his guard and took two steps forward, "Senior." ”
The man in white walked out of the mist step by step, Li Chen only glanced at the shock, only to see that the man's figure was difficult to distinguish between true and false, and it flickered in transparency and substance.
The man looked at Li Chen, his eyes were full of relief, and there was a little regret, he said: "You don't have to worry, I will never harm you, you have now become the inheritor of the master, I have waited for tens of thousands of years, and I will never let you have an accident." ”
The information revealed by this sentence shows that he is by no means the master of the secret realm, Li Chen thought like this, and his colleagues were puzzled: since he is not the master of the secret realm, this place should not be able to accommodate the characters above the bridge to the sky, how can he exist?
The man said his heels: "I am the sword spirit that Taibai was accidentally born when he entered the Dao with a sword, and Taibai should have given me up when he reached the seventh realm, but Taibai loved the sword very much, so he simply extracted me from the sword and lived in the form of a spirit in the world, neither life nor death." ”
He may have not seen a living person for too long, and continued to sigh: "I have followed Taibai for many years and seen many scenes, I thought that I would live and die with Taibai, I was born because of him, and I should die because of him, but I didn't expect that in the end, I would sit here alone, looking at the creatures of the secret realm that have not changed for tens of thousands of years. ”
Li Chen heard his suffering, and for a while there was a lot of sympathy in his heart, he regarded the people in the city as real people, let alone in front of him?
If you really want to talk about it, the person in front of you may be more of a sword soul that cannot be qualified in the classics.
"It's just that there shouldn't be a person above the bridge in the secret realm, how did the predecessors stay here?" Li Chen asked the doubts in his heart.
The sword soul spread out his hands and said, "Do you think I'm still a human being?" I'm just a soul now, somewhere between the real and the false, and I don't even know what I am. ”
Seeing its helplessness, Li Chen knew that he was inadvertently offended, and bowed down to apologize.
The sword soul just waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be like this, I have been here for an unknown number of years, if there will be complaints, it should have been a long time ago, and many times, I really don't want to go out to see it anymore, after watching it for so many years, it is not interesting." ”
Li Chen heard some of the implications: that is, if he had the heart to leave the mansion, or even the secret realm, there were actually some ways.
"Besides, I have been here for many years in order to ask him for a qualified inheritor, and now that you are standing here, you can only get your wish."
Li Chen didn't know what to say for a while, just silent.
The sword soul's gaze fell on the lonely sword behind him at this time, and he suddenly sighed inexplicably, "It's really a good sword." ”
Li Chen was surprised, "Since the predecessors followed Taibai's predecessors back then, they should have seen many treasures, how could they have such an exclamation for the Lonely Life Sword?" ”
Indeed, when the Lone Life Sword was in the cave world, it may be regarded as a top treasure, and the Great Elder personally refined it in front of Li Chen that day, saying that it was owned by the sages who forgot their worries back then, but now that he looks at it, he is already surrounded by strong people who pass through the sky bridge or above, but the Lone Life Sword has never had a moment when he has not been able to catch it, he has long had doubts about this matter, and it is indeed strange to think about it now.
The sword soul smiled: "Your sword is hidden in the sword, looking at your appearance, maybe I haven't seen the real appearance of your sword, right?" ”
Li Chen knew that this was a good time to unlock the secret of the Lonely Life Sword, and bowed down and said, "I would like to hear it in detail." ”
The sword soul didn't go into much detail, beckoned to extract the lonely sword from the scabbard reluctantly, saw the lonely sword trembling in his hand, knocked on the sword body and said with a smile: "Don't worry, when I shed your shell, it will be returned to Zhao." ”
Only then did the Lone Sword quiet down, Li Chen smiled slightly, he now has a lot of friendship for the Lone Life Sword, and he has never really regarded it as a dead thing in his heart, and has always only regarded him as a brother who can rely on him on the road of life and death.
The sword soul was able to sense Li Chen's emotions and praised: "The master said before his death that the sword is the most deceitful thing in the world, even if you look at the opponents everywhere in the world, the sword will never give up on you." ”
He looked at Li Chen, just like looking at the original master, Taibai, who was known as the immortal, one person and one sword fighting in the rivers and lakes, surrounded by many brothers or friends in life and death who volunteered to follow.
The sword soul lowered his head slightly, looking at the lonely sword in his palm, but he had many secrets on his body, and he didn't know who planted cause and effect in him, so he was willing to put such a treasure on his body.
He stretched out his palm and brushed it lightly on the sword, as if brushing away dust, but suddenly a trace of cracks and broken fragments appeared on the sword.
Li Chen didn't stop it, because he could sense that the Lonely Sword had no discomfort, but instead had a joyful joy, as if the shackles that had been left on his body had been opened, and he was finally able to feel more comfortable.
The sword soul said: "I don't know what kind of thoughts this person had at the beginning, adding so much broken copper and iron to the sword body, maybe I was afraid that you would see it, and I forcibly used the Yuan Force of more than seven realms to suppress it, so that this sword would not be fully manifested in battle." ”
Of course, Li Chen knew what the Sword Soul was talking about, but what he cared more about was that now all this seemed to have been proven to have been done by the Great Elder, and what was the purpose of the Great Elder? It is said that the Nether Realm can only accommodate characters who forget their worries at most, so how did the Great Elder hide from the world and cross the sea and be in the Nether for so many years?
