Li Ling lived in the Sword Sect for a few days, and every day Shen Lan would personally bring him food, and after the two of them had eaten together, Shen Lan would leave the other courtyard. Halfway, Shen Aotian also came twice and had two long talks with Li Ling, mainly to learn about the blood sword, but Li Ling was not very clear about the blood sword, so he could only stop and take one step at a time.

And Hua Wuxian, as the real person in charge of the Sword Sect, did not treat Li Ling at all, and Hua Hanyue had not shown up since the last time she hurriedly said goodbye in the other courtyard, so after a long time, Li Ling slowly let down his guard. Li Ling thought to himself, this was the main hall of the Sword Sect, and it was heavily defended, so even if Hua Hanyue arranged a few disciples to monitor him, it would not be a big deal.

Therefore, Li Ling generally does not go out every day except for recuperating and cultivating in his own courtyard, because after all, this is the important place of the Sword Sect, and if he goes to the wrong place, it is always not good. Li Ling just wanted to heal his injuries as soon as possible, and then completely unseal the Reverse Dragon Needle, and then he could set off back to the Heavenly Machine Dao.

Early in the morning of this day, Li Ling had just gotten up when he heard a knock on the door.

"Brother Li, Brother Li, are you up?"

When Li Ling heard this, he hurriedly walked to the door of the house, and then opened the door to take a closer look. The one who knocked on the door was a young man dressed in blue, named Ning Chen, Li Ling's food, clothing, housing and transportation in the past few days were all arranged by this disciple of the Sword Sect named Ning Chen.

After a few days of getting along, Li Ling felt that this young man was honest, diligent, and loyal, so he had a good impression of him, so Li Ling would also give him a few swordsmanship instructions from time to time, which made Ning Chen extremely excited, after all, the Sword Sect pays attention to self-study, self-understanding, and going with the flow, so for some disciples with mediocre qualifications, if they can get the guidance and guidance of their senior brothers, it will be a great blessing.

At this time, Ning Chen stood outside Li Ling's door with a smile and waited respectfully.

Every time he saw Ning Chen's friendly smile, Li Ling's mood would feel very relaxed. Then, Li Ling opened his mouth and asked, "Ning Chen, why did you come so early today?" Is there something going on? ”

Ning Chen nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Li!" I have also come by command! ”

"Oh? Commanded? Li Ling looked puzzled and continued: "Whose order is it?" ”

Ning Chen smiled faintly and said, "Miss Lan'er asked me to come." ”

When Li Ling heard this, he wondered, "Lan'er? What did she ask you to do so early? ”

Ning Chen deliberately leaned his head over and said in a low voice: "Brother Li, there are Senior Brother Hua's cronies guarding this courtyard, there are some things that I can't say, if you have any questions, after meeting Miss Lan'er later, you can ask her in person." ”

Seeing this, Li Ling said in his heart: "Yes, Ning Chen is just an ordinary disciple of the Sword Sect, and he is naturally incomparable to Hua Hanyue. Since it was Lan'er who asked me to meet, it wasn't a big deal. ”

Afterwards, Li Ling said lightly: "Okay, then I'll go with you to see Lan'er." With that, Li Ling and Ning Chen left the courtyard and walked in the direction of the top of Jiuhua Mountain.

Looking at the rugged mountain road in front of him, Li Ling couldn't help but feel a little worried, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart. Then, Li Ling opened his mouth and asked, "Ning Chen, why did Lan'er ask me to meet outside today?" Every time, she took the initiative to come to the other courtyard to find me, and she also specially instructed me not to walk around, so as not to get lost. ”

When Ning Chen heard this, he smiled dumbly and said, "Brother Li, what's wrong with you?" Can't you still trust me? Today, it is true that Miss Lan'er asked me to come to you, and if it wasn't for something important, she wouldn't have let me come. Besides, if I lead the way, will I still get lost? ”

Hearing Ning Chen's words, Li Ling smiled helplessly, then shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, it's just ......"

"Alright, alright, Brother Li! Don't embarrass me, we are all ordinary disciples in the sect, and Miss Lan'er is the daughter of the sect master, how dare we disobey her orders? When you get to the place, you'll understand. ”

At this moment, Ning Chen suddenly pointed ahead with his hand and said excitedly: "Look, Brother Li, we are almost there." ”

Looking in the direction of Ning Chen's finger, I saw that on the top of the mountain in front of me, there was a huge attic, the whole attic was built of wood by the mountain, with two floors, the whole attic was simple and atmospheric, although it was slightly old, but it had a little more historical vicissitudes.

Li Ling looked at the attic in the distance and asked, "Ning Chen, did Lan'er ask me to meet in this attic?" ”

Ning Chen nodded and said, "Well, yes!" Miss Lan'er asked me to bring you to this attic to meet you, because of the rush of time, so Miss only ordered me to bring you here, saying that there was something important to discuss with you, and nothing else was said. ”

When Li Ling heard this, he said helplessly: "This girl, I don't know what to do. Hey, what a hassle! ”

Afterwards, Li Ling followed Ning Chen, followed the mountain road, and came to the attic gate. Looking at the quaint attic with a slightly outdated atmosphere in front of him, Li Ling sighed faintly: "This attic is built with wood against the mountain, and it is really remarkable to build such a large-scale attic in such a high and steep position on Jiuhua Mountain." ”

"Yes! This attic is built on the top of Jiuhua Mountain, the construction is exquisite, high, it is really a wonder of Jiuhua Mountain. This attic was drawn, designed, and supervised by the Flower Sect Master himself. Ning Chen said proudly.

"Oh, Flower Sect Master? Unexpected? The Flower Sect Master not only has superb swordsmanship and extraordinary cultivation, but also ranks second in the Gentleman Sword Saint, who doesn't know about Kyushu? But I didn't expect that the Flower Sect Master also had such attainments in this organ structure and civil engineering, which is really amazing. Li Ling sighed.

"Yes, our Hua Sect Master not only has unparalleled swordsmanship, but also has learned and understood everything in his chest, and it is also a place to contain all things, the Five Elements Bagua, Qimen Dunjia, Secret Techniques, Medical Pharmacology, etc., know everything and know everything." Ning Chen said excitedly.

Hearing this, a trace of strangeness flashed on Li Ling's face, and then he asked, "Ning Chen, I can't see that you still worship your Flower Sect Master." ”

"Yes! Among the Sword Sects, the one I admire the most is the Flower Sect Master. After blurting out this, a trace of disappointment suddenly flashed on Ning Chen's face, and he said, "It's a pity, we are just ordinary disciples of the Sword Sect, our qualifications are dull and overwhelmed, how can the Flower Sect Master know about us people." ”

When Li Ling heard this, he comforted him: "Ning Chen, you must not be presumptuous. You must know that God is fair, everyone is born, there are his strengths and advantages, as well as his disadvantages and disadvantages. So, you're no worse than anyone else, and no one else is necessarily better than you in everything, you know? The most important thing for people is self-confidence, and only by believing in themselves can they overcome everything. ”

When Ning Chen heard this, he shook his head and said, "Brother Li, I don't quite understand what you said. However, my greatest wish in this life is to be able to worship the Flower Sect Master as a teacher, if the Flower Sect Master is willing to accept me, I am willing to do whatever I want! As he spoke, a hint of satisfaction and expectation flashed in Ning Chen's eyes.

Seeing this, Li Ling sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

At this time, Ning Chen shook his head and said, "Brother Li, I'm sorry, I can only accompany you here." Because Miss Lan'er has instructed that you should only let you go in alone, it will be inconvenient for me to go in. ”

When Li Ling heard this, his heart moved, and he wondered: "Shall I go in by myself?" But ......"

Ning Chen bowed down and said, "Brother Li, it's not that I don't want to go in with you, it's just that I am an ordinary disciple of the Sword Sect, and you are a distinguished guest of the Sword Sect and Miss Lan'er's life-saving benefactor. Okay, Brother Li, I'll leave first, you go in quickly, don't let Miss Lan'er wait. With that, after Ning Chen bowed and saluted, he turned around and left.

Watching Ning Chen leave, and then turning his head to look at the attic in front of him, Li Ling sighed helplessly, and then gently pushed open the attic door and slowly stepped into the attic.

After entering the attic, the first thing that catches your eye is a shrine to worship, but on the offering table is a wooden plaque in the shape of a sword, and a plaque is hung above the wooden plaque, on which the word "heaven and earth" is written.

Li Ling turned around and scanned the surroundings, and found that the first floor of the attic was very wide, at least it could accommodate more than a thousand people, and the ground was paved with jade, but at this time, the first floor of the hall was empty, and in the center of the attic, there was a circular rotating escalator, which led directly to the upper floor.

Seeing this, Li Ling wondered in his heart, "What kind of place is this?" Why did Lan'er ask me to meet here? ”

Afterwards, Li Ling refocused his gaze on the place where the shrine was enshrined, doubted in his heart, and muttered in a low voice: "I have only seen the statues of the Buddha, the Bodhisattva, and the Taoist Sanqing, and this is the first time I have seen a sword enshrined!" ”

At this moment, a voice of contempt came from the second floor of the attic.

"Humph! What do you know, stinky boy? My Sword Sect respects the sword and takes the sword as the god, of course, the worship is the sword god, and the cultivation of this sect pays attention to the righteousness of the heaven and the earth, and the cultivation is the supreme pure holy sword qi, and this heaven and earth sword hall is a place for the elite disciples of the sect and the elders to practice. Then, a black-clothed young man walked down the escalator in the center of the attic and walked down slowly, it was the Sword Sect Hua Hanyue.

Seeing this, Li Ling frowned and said, "Oh? This is the Heaven and Earth Sword Hall! ”

Hua Hanyue sneered and said, "Yes, this is the forbidden land of the Sword Sect, the Heaven and Earth Sword Hall." ”

"Forbidden land? What does Brother Hua mean by this? Li Ling seemed to sense something.

"Not bad!" Hua Hanyue smiled faintly and said proudly: "This Heaven and Earth Sword Hall is a forbidden place of this sect, and it contains countless sword books of this sect, even if a disciple of this sect steps into it without permission, then there is no forgiveness!" ”

Hearing this, Li Ling's expression changed slightly, and he said lightly: "Brother Hua, I think you are mistaken, it was Lan'er who asked people to bring me here." ”

"Nonsense!" Hua Hanyue said coldly: "Lan'er went down the mountain with Senior Brother Zhang early this morning, and she hasn't come back yet, you said that she asked people to bring you here, isn't it nonsense?" ”

Li Ling forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Brother Hua, it was Ning Chen who brought me here, and I have nothing to say!" ”

Hua Hanyue's face sank and said, "Oh? Ning Chen? So where is Ning Chen now? ”

Ning Chen, he ...... He ...... said this, but Li Ling couldn't say it anymore, so he knew very well at this time, I am afraid that he has fallen into someone else's trap today, and at this time, it is superfluous to talk about anything else."
