Fourth, the broken moon
At noon, in front of Sword Lake. Standing in a specially opened stone clearing, the young man was holding a bamboo sword for practice, and when he saw Li Qingyun coming, he immediately stood up straight, put on a posture of attacking and defending, and waited for today's practice.
The middle-aged white-robed man on the side waved his hand, signaling that today's class was suspended.
Under the suspicious gaze of the disciple, Li Qingyun slowly spoke: "Last night, your father summoned you to go back to participate in the Three Kingdoms Imperial Conference. Oh, and your own crown ceremony. But before that, he asked you to rush to Wuxian at the eastern end of the Shu Kingdom, where according to imperial intelligence, there was a missionary of the Divine Cult who was hiding the strength of the Three Realms. If he is allowed to preach vigorously, I am afraid that within half a year, the entire county will be killed. Your job is to get rid of him. That three-realm pill is the admission voucher for your crown gift."
Ember Bing was taken aback: "Master, you mean to let me go down the mountain?"
"Or else?" Li Qinggo asked angrily.
But I haven't learned the inheritance of the Sword Pavilion yet, besides, the rules of the Sword Pavilion: disciples of the Three Realms can go down the mountain to practice for three years, and then if they don't meet the troubled times, they need to guard the mountain for life. Moreover, I can only fight for a draw against the opponents of the three realms. It will take me at least two months to rush to Wuxian County in the east, and after that time, there will be dozens of more Eternal Fallen Believers in the First and Second Realms around him, is it really good for me to send powerful believers with extremely strong physiognomy to others?" Knowing his strength, Ember Bing, who was unwilling to send him to death, directly smashed it with a series of excuses.
Li Qingyun, who knew his apprentice's calculations, was happy and said, "If you don't want to go, you have to go." I don't want your father to come and ask him about his guilt some time later. Sword moves? The basic swordsmanship I improved for you already contains the Dao rhyme of the sword scripture suitable for you in the library, you are stupid, and you still rely on me not to let you go to the scripture pavilion? ”
Speaking of this, Li Qingyun smiled at his disciple, and the ill-intentioned in his smile made the back of Ember Bing's neck go cold. "I'll send you on the road. It is guaranteed to arrive all at once, and there will never be time for that missionary to develop. ”
"Well, then, I haven't got a weapon yet. You can't let me fight with others with this bamboo sword!" Ember Ice tried to make a final struggle.
Li Qingyun nodded slightly: "This is a problem. Take the bamboo sword up, I'm afraid ten of you won't be enough to kill. “
Ember Ice is overjoyed, don't you have to go down the mountain?
But I heard Li Qingyun say: "Come with me, the meeting gift that I promised you at the beginning should also be given to you." ”
Ember smiled bitterly, but couldn't say anything to refuse. I had to follow Li Qingyun to the back mountain. Even if you are in a bad mood and full of worries, there is a faint expectation in your heart. I was afraid of being in the group before, but now there is Li Qingyun to send him off, and there is also the so-called meeting gift, if you are afraid of it again, I am afraid that this prince of Shu is not too much. Ember Ice has his own pride.
With anticipation and curiosity, the young man followed Li Qingyun all the way to the back mountain. Looking at the word "Sword Tomb" on the stele in front of him, Ember Bing was clear. It turned out that the meeting gift that the master was talking about was a sword.
In addition to cultivating before, Ember Bing had carefully learned about the history of the Sword Pavilion in the Scripture Pavilion. Therefore, we know the origin of the sword tomb in the back mountain. Back then, the founder of the Sword Pavilion had been taught swordsmanship by the Sword Immortal, but he chose to practice a new system due to the drastic changes in the Heavenly Dao. Later, the Terrans went to war with the Divine Cult, and the patriarch was too weak to participate in the war, so he escaped. After that, the patriarch founded the Sword Pavilion and collected the swords of the sacrificial immortals. Set up a mound for them in the sword tomb in the mountain behind the Sword Pavilion, and look forward to future generations being able to resonate with the remnant souls of the ancestors in the sword, so as to obtain inheritance.
Although this kind of treasure grabbing has caused many people to be dissatisfied, after all, the Sword Pavilion Sect was set up on the border to resist the Divine Cult, and its original intention was to protect the peace of the world, so no one has come to snatch it for many years. In later generations, all the disciples of the Sword Pavilion who reached the Nine Realms had the right to leave their own sword matching and sword intent inheritance in the Sword Tomb when the time limit came. Then he flew over the Black Flame River alone and went to the west to pull a few cushions.
It was this move that made the Divine Sect unable to attack the three major dynasties on a large scale for thousands of years, and also made the Sword Pavilion gain the respect of the whole world.
Jianling, what kind of sword will you get? I'm really looking forward to it.
King Li Qing, who was walking in front of Ember Ice, stopped in front of the stone monument. After bowing with Ember Bing, he took out a round jade plaque from his bosom and put it into the groove under the inscription on the stone tablet.
As the jade plaque was placed, the space behind the stele emitted ripples in the pattern of water. An enchantment that had not been traced before dissolved like thin ice. After that, the sword garden suddenly surged with sword anger.
Northeast of the Sword Pavilion. Physically and mentally exhausted, men in dark blue costumes sat upright, anxious about famine everywhere. He suddenly raised his head, stared at the place where the sword qi emanated, and muttered, "Is he my son or your son?" As soon as it came up, it was like throwing resources at no expense. I just told you yesterday that he should kill a missionary of the Three Realms Sect, and today you opened the entire Sword Tomb, really, tsk. At the end, the man himself laughed, shook his head, and continued to review the twists and turns on the case.
Directly north of the Sword Pavilion, the fat man in red waved his hand to reject the beautiful maid waiting next to him, his small eyes narrowed into a slit at this time, the Great Sui Emperor, who was known for his mediocrity and lust for pleasure, showed a solemnity on his face that was very different from the past, and whispered to himself: "The Sword Tomb of the Sword Pavilion has been opened this time, is it that the old Xu seniors can't suppress the cultivation, or the Sword Pavilion has received another disciple with excellent talent?" Let's hope it's the latter. The Sword Pavilion can't be without the Star Lord. If it weren't for the fact that the person surnamed Ember was promoted to the first level and was known to the world, I would have been able to go to the Sword Pavilion to sit in town. But now, I'm afraid that as soon as I propose to pass on the throne, the whole court will be in chaos, right?"
To the southeast of the Sword Pavilion, underwater, in a crystal-like palace. Slowly putting away the revealed dragon tail, a yellow-robed man who looked to be in his forties put away his surprised expression and sorted out his emotions. He looked to the west, and in that place, there was one of his father's "dragon scales". "Xu boy, don't die. Promised to invite me for a drink next time. ”
In the west, in a steeple building with white and gold as the main colors, three clusters of light fluctuate unsteadily. "Quick, mobilize all the low-level missionaries and believers to the east of the Black Flame River. Clergy members of the church father level and above are returned to the church. "A year ago, I lost three demigods and four popes at once, and the three of them were also a little painful. You see, there is no such thing as the opportunity to replenish believers 3,000 years ago.
In front of the stone stele, Ember Bing, one of the initiators, was obsessed with the power of the sword intent in the tomb, but he didn't know the slightest impact on his master's behavior.
And although Li Qingyun knew the consequences, he had even emptied his own family in order to cultivate Ember Ice before, so how could he care about this innocuous impact?
The three countries under the mountain will not make any moves. Cult of God? It just so happens that Nedan is not enough. He Li Qingyun has a sword, and he wants to "chat" with those guys more.
So, Li Qingyun walked into the Sword Tomb with Ember Ice with a calm face.
According to the book, the stone platform on which each sword stands is made of extraterritorial meteors, which serves as a sword protector. And the stone platform is engraved with the deeds of the sword master during his lifetime. Some of the double-layered stone platforms indicate that the sword on it has come out of the mountain again, and will not return here until the end of the second master's time is approaching.
The ember ice who entered the Sword Tomb was like a poor man entering the city, and he only hated himself for having a pair of eyes missing. Although he had also entered the Hidden Sword Pavilion of the Imperial Palace, how could it compare to the Sword Pavilion Sword Tomb that received the relics of the Immortal Buddha Era? I am not afraid of the sword qi around the sword tomb, look at the east and the west, and if I see some of the dazzling sword bodies or the beautiful seals on them, I will reach out and touch them a few times.
Seeing his apprentice's demeanor, Li Qingyun's mouth was so open that he could easily stuff a whole egg. Why am I, when did the sword of the immortal and the star lord talk so well? I think that in his Li Qingyun's hand back then, this Qingxiao was also let close because the sword intent was almost completely compatible and the sword body was seriously broken, and if he didn't repair it, he would end up with a decline in rank! This kid is against the sky!
But after thinking about it, when Ember Ice was able to smash the Wenjian platform with a single sword, it must also be the inner part of the sword heart. It's just not unearthed yet. As soon as he thought of this, the cool waves in Li Qingyun's heart calmed down a little, and he said loudly: "You must also understand the rules, even if the hidden sword in the Sword Tomb can be regarded as kind to you, in the end, you can only take one sword." Remind you, it's not that the true yuan around the sword body is stronger. Choosing a sword depends on your heart. ”
Ember Bing, who was "visiting" everywhere, fell into deep thought after listening to it. He also knew that because the sword in the Sword Tomb had the cultivation of the sword qi of the Star Lord or the Ancient True Immortals, Xuan Immortals, and even the Golden Immortals, the quality was far from being comparable to the hidden swords in the palace. Coupled with the inheritance of the predecessors, once selected, it may be a lifetime.
However, if you don't choose according to the strength of the true element, how else can you choose? Others can also decide by looking at the affinity of the sword for him, or simply picking people with the sword, but when it comes to himself, those seniors don't seem to have any intention of taking the school exam?
If you don't feel wrong, it seems that the relationship between yourself and these remnant souls in the sword is more like getting along with your peers, and you want to invite them out of the mountain, and they are also happy to sell their favor and happen to be bored in the Sword Tomb. Even when he touched the blade of the sword, he could even feel the reverence that came from it.
Shook his head vigorously, delusion, must be an illusion! He has too late to respect these ancestors, and what qualifications do he have to make them respect themselves? With the prince's secret share? Even if the entire Shu Kingdom is nothing more than a joke in the eyes of others.
It's annoying! How can he find the right sword for his Ember Ice? Looking at the introduction on the stone platform? Or shout, "Which of you would like to go down the mountain with me and kill the aliens?" ”
Scratching his head vigorously, Rao couldn't help but feel irritable with the perseverance that he had cultivated in the past year. I had to pace up the path of the sword mound in a circle.
Looking at the last few wisps of true yuan in Lingyuan. Gritting his teeth, Ember Ice decided to stop this seemingly useless search. But when he wanted to stop the fast-moving True Yuan in the Spirit Abyss, he found that the True Yuan, which was usually like an arm and a finger, was out of control at this time.
Ember Bing secretly said that it was not good, if the last wisp of true yuan was consumed, it would take a long time to recover. What is he lacking most now? It's time. If it takes another ten days to recover his strength, he will really be beaten by the group if he goes to collect Neidanke again.
So he began to gather his mind and control the True Yuan Mist with all his might.
Unfortunately, it didn't work.
Ember Bing smiled bitterly, with mixed feelings in his heart, as if as long as he clashes with other people's ideas in the past nineteen years, his ideas will be directly dismissed and ignored. First his father, but now he doesn't even take his opinion to heart even the true yuan he has worked so hard to cultivate. This kind of life is really sad.
"People don't care what you think just because you're not strong enough. The weak have no right to speak, this is what you should have said!" A fierce thought came out of his body. There was no sound, but Ember could understand what it meant.
Without waiting for Ember Bing to become suspicious, the fluctuation in his body continued to convey his thoughts: "It's just a pile of broken copper and iron, and you dare to forcibly absorb internal force?" Tiger Falling Pingyang is not something that wild dogs can bully. ”
"Broken copper? Are you serious? Also, What are the internal forces? Is it true? Dog? It's really rampant. Ember Bing secretly slandered herself.
"Put away your prince's pampered laziness! Without strength, you can't control your own destiny now, and you won't be able to protect the people you cherish in the future! Is it nice to watch the people around you die one by one because of you in the war?
"You've already failed once, so how can you be qualified to change the second time!"
By the end, the owner of the mind was almost roaring with all his might. Well, if there's a concept of roaring in soul communication. The strong fluctuations shook Ember Ice's soul and almost shattered it.
The strange thing is that with the continuous transmission of the mysterious will, Ember Bing's emotions are easily assimilated by the will, as if this is the emotion that should belong to him.
Hearing this, a trace of pain flashed in Ember Bing's eyes. The subordination that was used to hide his true thoughts was shattered with ease. The habit of disguise and the lazy personality that he had cultivated in the palace for more than ten years seemed to no longer belong to him. A heart that pursues strength once again ignites the fierce flame it should have, obviously it has never experienced war, but when it hears the voice of "watch them die one by one because of you", Ember Bing's heart seems to be clenched by an invisible big hand, and the distress can't breathe, as if it has really lost something irreplaceable.
You have to cultivate, you have to become stronger, you have to control your own destiny, and you have to protect the important people around you! Feeling the fighting spirit of the Ember Ice Divine Soul gradually rising, the mysterious thought also softened a little: "This backbone is somewhat similar to the last time. As a bonus, that's,
"Let them see, the majesty of the superior!"
This sentence was uttered by a mysterious will through the mouth of Ember Ice.
Immediately afterward, Ember Bing found that the last two wisps of mist in the Spirit Abyss True Yuan had been extracted again, and a sword intent that he had been unable to find for a long time rushed out of the dantian.
At this moment, all the stone platforms in the Sword Tomb of the same material as the stone pillars on the top of the mountain were shattered, and they were shattered into powder in an instant.
Just that wisp of smoke-like true yuan attached to the sword intent caused the hidden sword of the entire Sword Tomb to let out a wail, frantically conveying the emotions of fear and surrender to Ember Ice, and there was no intention of alienation.
Ember Ice finally took back control of his body at this point. Feeling the fear and surrender of the swords around him, there were several majestys similar to his father's in his eyes at this time.
Slowly moving his gaze, as far as his eyes could see, the sword body trembled, no matter whether his master's strength was a star lord, a true immortal or a Xuan immortal, he could not escape the fate of being suppressed at this time.
Suddenly, Ember was breathing a little faster. Where he looked, there was a stone platform that had not been damaged in the slightest. A long blue jade sword lay quietly on the stone platform. The reason why it is not kept in the stone platform like other swords before is because it is full of fine cracks like cobwebs. The person who wanted to bring it back was also afraid that it would not be able to withstand the impact when it stabbed into the stone platform.
It's strange to say. As soon as he saw this sword, a sense of intimacy arose in Ember Bing's heart. It seems that this first meeting is more like a long-lost reunion for the most important people to each other. And this separation lasted for nineteen years.
The wisp of sword qi also softened violently when Ember Bing saw this jade-like long sword, and then swooped into the long sword under the surprised eyes of the remnant souls in the sword, using everything he had to repair the long sword.
But in the final analysis, after all, it was a sword qi condensed by a negligible sword intent through a wisp of mist true yuan of a primordial realm cultivator. Even without reservation, it only repaired the smallest crack in the sword's body.
After the sword qi emitted the last bit of energy, the long sword shone for a moment, as if to indicate a sense of ejection.
Finally coming back to his senses, Ember Bingjing lost control of his emotions very rarely, and strode towards the stone platform at the very edge, only to change from running to walking when he was still two or three steps away from the long sword. It's like being scared of the long sword lying on the sword platform.
This is the first time in so many years that Ember Bing's emotions are completely uncontrollable. As the crown prince of Shudi, he should have been moody.
He gently held the sword in both hands, as if holding the most fragile treasure of the world. Unbeknownst to Ember Bing, he burst into tears.
And at the Ember Ice Dantian, a spirit surrounded by sword intent also fluctuated violently.
"She even came, she even came. Found it, found it. I knew it, I knew I wouldn't miss it!" The crazy Spirit Flame Yin shouted incoherently in the sea of Ember Ice, causing Ember Bing's head to ache violently.
Outside, when the long sword was held in the hand of Ember Ice, it fell into an abnormal state, constantly emitting a crisp sword sound, and the joy of tossing was no less than that of the one in Ember Ice's body. Ember Ice was afraid that it would be completely broken. Just when Ember Ice felt a headache for these two ancestors, a pure aura came from the long sword, straight to the Ember Ice Spirit Abyss.
Absorb, transform true nothingness, restore consumption, and then fill the entire spiritual abyss, break through the second realm, and the whole process is smooth and smooth in one go. And the cultivation is solid, so that Ember Bing himself is a little dumbfounded.
"She hasn't forgotten, she hasn't forgotten! Even if there is only a fragmented sword body left, even if there is no spiritual intelligence!" Feeling the action of the long sword, the spiritual flame seal that had just calmed down a little was so excited that it was out of control.
"Hey, I'm going to warm up the sword. If you want to comprehend the sword intent, inject the true element into the sword, and I will control the divergence of the sword intent. I said ugly things ahead, if you are in danger when I am in your body, I can still take care of it, but when I get to the sword, in order to save this sword, I will only pretend not to see you even if you die in front of my eyes. So in the future, be careful when you go out to mingle by yourself. Also, until I completely restore her to her original state, don't use your sword to fight the Star Lord Realm. If the sword shatters, you'll lose something you'll regret for the rest of your life!" With that, a purple light lit up from the Dantian of Ember Bing's lower abdomen, and then poured into the long sword through its arm.
As the spiritual imprint in the purple light left his body, Ember Bing only felt that his whole body was empty, as if he had fallen straight down from a height of thousands of meters. But then I felt light. In other words, as a star lord and a son of the Nirvana Realm, Ember Ice's long-suppressed kendo talent has returned.
Xie seniors reminded. For some reason, Ember Ice instinctively felt that this spirit that he only knew today would not be unfavorable to him, and immediately spoke.
With the separation of the spiritual imprint, Ember Bing's affected emotions gradually returned to normal, but for some reason, there was a lot less false and calculating thoughts before.
"Senpai? I'm not your senior. The spirit imprint muttered to himself, and it was immediately completely integrated into the long sword.
With its integration, the sword body changed to a color that blended dark blue and light purple, which was gorgeous, and it was even better than Li Qingyun's "Qingxiao". Several major cracks in the sword's body healed, making the longsword look less fragile.
Then, the long sword supported by the aura was exchanged for a charming brilliance, directly engulfing its newly recognized owner.
[Xiaobai opened the pit, and asked for comments and collections from all the officials]
