There was a large amount of sludge and rotting bones accumulated under the mountain stream, and Ling Ning really couldn't tell which ones belonged to his father Ling Yuan, so he had to give up at the moment. He was originally a cultivator, and he was not very attached to whether there was a real grave. It is much more important for him to build a tombstone in his heart than to have an actual tombstone.

He tried to find those former senior brothers, and after many investigations, he learned that those people had been killed by Ling Dao's father and son, and none of them were spared. The words "cut the grass and eradicate the roots" are commonplace for them, and he is the only exception. If they had killed themselves in the first place, would they have survived? Thinking of this, he thought of the palace master again, and there were still some unresolved grievances between them.

Ling Dao father and son wanted to sneak down the mountain, but they were caught by the villagers, and the villagers beat the father and son half to death, and finally were hung on the city tower. After death, they were even more crushed and scattered, which can be regarded as the best punishment for them.

The matter of the Sword Ling Sect came to an end for the time being, and at this time he received a message from Qin Xi, but this message was a little strange: "Master...... Some people suddenly came up, and they said that I was their holy daughter, and they wanted to take me to Daiyu......"

The message was broken here, and Ling Ning was still puzzled after reading it several times. Who the hell are these people? Why is Qin Xi a saint? What kind of place is Daiyu? But one thing is certain, under the blockade of the Xuanyuan Sword Array, these people will definitely take Qin Xi to the sea, so he can only go to the sea to intercept them first. But there are many outlets to the sea in the Mortal Continent, which one should he go to?

He wrote back to Qin Xi and asked her where she was now, but unfortunately there was no news from Shi Shen into the sea. He keenly felt that Qin Xi was probably captured by someone, and he originally wanted to take Qin Xi back to Qin Country to say goodbye to Qin Fei, and then go to sea to the Immortal Dust Continent, but now he could only change his plan.

Returning to the ancient ruins where the Xuanyuan Sword was placed, before going to sea, he wanted to say his final goodbye to the three immortals, and by the way, he also asked the three immortals about "Daiyu".

There was no one in the ruins, and he was about to send a message to the three immortals, but the voice of the white phosphorus immortal sounded behind him.

"You're back?"

Ling Ning turned around and saw the White Phosphorus Immortal walking towards him, now she was smiling, and her whole person was much more "comfortable". It reminded him of "Zora" in the icy snow of the Valley of Spring.

"Immortal, I heard that you are about to ascend?"

The White Phosphorus Immortal nodded and said, "Ascend in three days, do you want to stay and watch the ceremony?" ”

Ling Ning smiled bitterly: "Although I really want to, my precious apprentice has been taken away, and I want to save her as soon as possible." Do the immortals know what 'Daiyu' is? ”

The white phosphorus immortal narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said: "The ancient book "Liezi Tangwen" once recorded that the east of the Bohai Sea does not know hundreds of millions of miles, there are big ravines, but there is only a bottomless valley, and there is no bottom under it, and it is called a ruin. The water of the eight and nine wildernesses, the flow of heaven and Han, are all injected, and there is no increase or decrease. Among them, there are five mountains: one is Daiyu, the second is Yuanqiao, the third is Fanghu, the fourth is Yingzhou, and the fifth is Penglai. ”

Ling Ning suddenly said: "It turns out that Daiyu is the same immortal mountain as Penglai, do immortals know where this Daiyu is?" ”

The White Phosphorus Immortal shook his head and said, "These are all records before the world was divided, and whether it is still in the human realm is a mystery now. However, I heard that someone had recently seen a fairy mountain on the sea, and this mountain was drifting around with the ocean current, and I don't know if it was Daiyu. ”

Ling Ning nodded silently, secretly wondering why he had to find out.

The White Phosphorus Immortal suddenly said softly, "Xiao Ning, thank you." ”

Ling Ning was slightly stunned, her "Xiao Ning" was very similar to Zhuo La in the Valley of Spring, the White Phosphorus Immortal is Zhuo La, but is Zhuo La a White Phosphorus Immortal? In a sense, Zora, who was trapped in the Valley of Spring, was no different from the White Phosphorus Immortals who were trapped in the Mortal Dust Continent.

Ling Ning shook his head and said, "You're welcome, just treat it as a ......" A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Just think it's for Zora." ”

The White Phosphorus Immortal nodded and said happily: "I will wait for you in the upper realm, with your qualifications, sooner or later you will soar, when the time comes, let me repay your favor." ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, and were speechless for a moment.

The White Phosphorus Immortal bowed slightly, turned to leave.

Ling Ning looked at her departing back, and suddenly said, "Immortal, who will the position of immortal pass on to after you leave?" ”

The White Phosphorus Immortal didn't look back and said, "Since there are no monks in the Mortal Dust Continent, why do you need immortals?" Let the two eldest brothers do the work for you. ”

At this time, the two immortals of Zhiyi and Jin Toad came together, and the two looked at each other and smiled when they heard this.

Several people watched the White Phosphorus Immortal leave, and Zhiyi Immortal said: "Originally, we were going to see you together, but White Phosphorus said that I wanted to talk to you alone first." ”

Jin Toad Immortal said, "Are you ready to leave the Mortal Dust Continent?" ”

Ling Ning said: "Well, I came today to say goodbye to the three immortals, but I didn't expect the white phosphorus immortals to say goodbye to me first...... Do the two immortals have any other teachings? ”

Jin Toad Immortal said: "The two of us will be here in the future, you can come to us at any time." I don't have much more to say, just that thing...... Please, please bring it to Xianchen Jialan Temple. ”

Ling Ning nodded heavily and said, "Do your best when you make up your mind." ”

The Golden Toad Immortal smiled and strode away, leaving only the Zhiyi Immortal.

Zhiyi Immortal said: "I don't have anything to guide you, but I have something I want to give you." ”

Ling Ning said, "Oh? What is it? ”

Zhiyi Immortal said: "Come with me." ”

Ling Ning followed him to a wall, only to see him make a few handprints, and the wall suddenly cracked with a "buzz", and inside was a downward passage, and a fist-sized night pearl was placed on the wall, emitting a green light. The two of them entered the passage one after the other, and after a while, they reached the bottom, which was a pure white space like where the Xuanyuan Sword was stored, except that a sword stand was placed in the center, and there was no sword on the sword stand, only a quaint sword hilt hanging.

Ling Ningqi said: "Another broken sword? How is there only a hilt of a sword? ”

On closer inspection, the patterns on the hilt of this sword were intricate, and they were slowly changing and flowing, and his eyes were attracted for a while, and he couldn't take them off for a long time.

Zhiyi Immortal: "This sword is called Hanguang ......"

Ling Ning couldn't help but let out an "ah", this name was too loud, he didn't expect to see this ancient artifact in such a place. He still remembered that Wen Hao of Sword Casting Valley had told him the story of the ancient artifact Hanguang, Chengying, and Night Practice.

Zhiyi Immortal said: "Why, have you heard the name of this sword?" ”

Ling Ning nodded, and told the story that Sword Casting Gu Wenhao told him, and finally he said with envy in his eyes: "The top grade contains light, the middle grade Chengying, and the lower grade Xiao Lian...... These three artifacts are as fast as light, like shadows, and like the wind, but I didn't expect to see Hanguang here, which is really a blessing for three lives. ”

Zhiyi Immortal said: "Did you say that Chengying is in the hands of Sword Casting Valley?" ”

Ling Ning said: "That's right, but it's a pity that it took thousands of years to restore Chengying with the great reputation of Sword Casting Valley...... Is this stalk also damaged? ”

Zhiyi Immortal said: "It is expected that the Sword Casting Valley will not be able to restore the Chengying, as for this Hanguang, in fact, it is only a half-finished product. ”

Ling Ning was surprised: "Semi-finished product? What does that mean? ”

The Zhiyi Immortal smiled and said, "Do you know where you found this stalk?" ”

Ling Ning said: "Where? Could it be the Valley of Swords? But what does that have to do with the fact that it's a semi-finished product? Could it be that it was forged in the Valley of Swords? ”

The Zhiyi Immortal shook his head and said, "In ancient times, there was a famous Tibetan sword master, named Kong Zhou, and Kong Zhou had many hidden swords, but he had only heard the name of Hanguang and had no chance to see it. Once, he was playing with the Chengying Sword, and suddenly found a thin mark on the hilt of the sword, which was a little loose under the shaking, and he pulled it outward, only to hear a soft click, and the hilt was divided into two parts, and a short hilt was exposed. Slowly pulled out, I only felt that the sword body was gradually withdrawing, but I couldn't see it, and when I reached out and touched it, a wisp of blood gushed out, and he was unconsciously scratched by the sword. He walked into the dark part of the room, and finally saw the sword in its entirety, and as soon as the light reached the blade, it disappeared. He swung his sword far away, only to feel that the hilt of the sword shook violently, and there was a loud bang, and the wall outside the zhang was actually pierced by the sword qi emitted. ”

Ling Ning was fascinated by what he heard, and said, "This is Hanguang?" ”

Zhiyi Immortal said: "Yes, Hanguang and Chengying are twins, and since Hanguang is no longer there, Chengying has an empty shell." The Valley of Swords could not be restored for a thousand years, just because they didn't know that Chengying had lost its 'core'. And this stalk with light, although the power is amazing, but after all, it is still an unfinished work, and it has not undergone real quenching, how can it become an artifact. ”

Ling Ning said, "So...... Do you have to combine the shadow and the light to reproduce the brilliance of the artifact? ”

Zhiyi Immortal said: "Since they have already separated, why should they be united again? Sooner or later, these two famous swords will become artifacts again, but they just have to find the right way. ”

Ling Ning said: "Since Chengying has no core, then inject a core into it, and since Hanguang has not been fired, it will be re-smelted for it...... I think the Valley of Swords was going in the wrong direction, so I couldn't fix it. ”

Zhiyi Immortal said: "That's exactly the truth. Everything in the world has its own flaws, and the right way is to prescribe the right medicine. ”

Ling Ning said, "Then has this light-containing sword been refined and become a real artifact?" ”

Zhiyi Immortal said: "I also understood how to repair it after consulting the ancient books many times, but it's a pity...... Fire refining alone is not enough, it also needs to add some rare materials. After you become the master of the Xuanyuan Sword, the Xuanyuan Decree is no longer useful, and the old man uses all of them to smelt this sword...... But...... But after all, it's still a step behind......"

Ling Ning said: "Is Xuanyuan Jade not enough?" ”

Zhiyi Immortal said: "Yes, Xuanyuan Yu is still not enough, hey, the so-called planning is in the sky, maybe the time has not come...... I gave it to you because you don't want it to be buried here, maybe follow you, and one day it will become a real artifact. ”

Ling Ning pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered the "Mine Marrow" that he and Qian Mei'er had auctioned at the auction, and hurriedly took it out and said, "Immortal, I got this thing from the auction, does this help in smelting this artifact?" ”

The Zhiyi Immortal let out a "huh", took it and looked at it carefully for a moment, and said, "This ore marrow ...... It seems unusual, you are really lucky, this thing seems to be used in place of Xuanyuan jade......"

Ling Ning was overjoyed in his heart, but the Zhiyi Immortal sighed again: "It's a pity...... The old man is not a smelting master, you still need to find a grandmaster who is proficient in forging. Maybe...... Perhaps this marrow can really make the light an artifact. ”

Ling Ning said, "Immortal, do you have any recommended candidates for this forging master?" ”

The Zhiyi Immortal shook his head and said, "The old man has not set foot in the Immortal Dust Continent for a long time, and this forging great master can only rely on you to find it slowly." ”

Ling Ning dropped a drop of essence blood onto Hanguang's sword, he wasn't sure if Hanguang's sword body was there, but when the bright red blood beads drew a "丨" along the sword body, he suddenly felt a strange line connecting his consciousness with Hanguang. He could feel the joy of the light, and the shape of the blade came to his mind. This sword contained a huge amount of energy, an energy that he had never seen in any blade, not even his stone sword Shattering Star.

He casually pulled a sword flower in the air, and the sword body emitted a faint golden light, leaving a pleasing afterimage in the air. He was sure that this golden light could only be seen by himself as his master, and that he was only brandishing the hilt of his sword in the eyes of others.

He will be a precious income ring, this is not his stone sword can return to him at any time, if this sword is lost, it is really lost.

The Zhiyi Immortal sent him out of the ruins, and at this time the east turned white, and the sky lit up with a touch of orange. Ling Ning looked at the brighter and brighter sky, but after all, he couldn't help it, and turned to the Zhiyi Immortal: "Immortal, if there is no longer a Lord of the Xuanyuan Sword in the Mortal Dust Continent from now on, then where will the continent go?" I'm ......."

The Zhiyi Immortal smiled and said, "You feel uneasy? Are you afraid that you will choose the wrong one? Bringing the Mortal Dust Continent in a bad direction? ”

Ling Ning nodded.

The Zhiyi Immortal stroked his beard and said, "Maybe in another 10,000 years, the power of the Xuanyuan Sword will be exhausted, and then the entire Mortal Dust Continent will fall into dire straits, at that time you are no longer there, and the old man is no longer there, what will happen to the Mortal Dust Continent?" ”

Ling Ning shook his head gloomily.

Zhiyi Immortal said: "A generation has a generational mission, you don't need to think about it." Besides, mortals are not as fragile as you think, maybe there will be someone like Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor at that time...... Go, this world will not be destroyed by a single choice, your mission has been accomplished. ”

Ling Ning let out a sigh of relief, he could only believe now, believing that the world would become brighter and brighter.

In the past month, Ling Ning had traveled almost all the outlets of the Fanchen Continent, but unfortunately he had not found any trace of Qin Xi. Maybe it was too late by the time he got the message, and maybe they were already out to sea by then. It seems that if he wants to find her, he can only look for Daiyu Immortal Mountain in the vast sea, but he really has no clue about this immortal mountain.

At this time, he suddenly received a message from Xia Shiqing, the message was simple and clear, with only one sentence: "Ping'an Village has disappeared." ”
