Chapter 34 The Old Tree in Front of the Pavilion Again (3)

One day, Pingqiu and Jingqiu test the art of the sword, and Pingqiu also defeats Jingqiu for the first time. Pingqiu was jubilant and excited, and happily shouted: "Senior Brother Jingqiu, I am worthy of you after all!" ”

Although Jingqiu lost, he was not discouraged, but was overjoyed by Pingqiu's rapid progress.

Ping Qiu smiled, his heart was full of longing, and at the same time, he felt that he had made such rapid progress because of his senior brother's help.

"Senior Brother Jingqiu, what about you?"

A firm smile appeared on Jingqiu's lips, waving the spell drawn by himself in his hand, and replied with high morale: "I have changed by myself!" ”

Jingqiu smiled heartily and waved the spell in her hand, full of confidence.

Pingqiu stretched out his hand to Jingqiu.

Later, Pingqiu practiced swordsmanship diligently, and his swordsmanship was already outstanding, and a few years later, in the Jishan Society, he once again happened to meet the fierce opponent who defeated him at the beginning.

On that day, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the ring was crowded and lively.

At that time, Pingqiu's demeanor was firm and calm.

There was an uproar all over the sky, and everyone was shocked by Pingqiu's strength, and they were surprised that he didn't show any mountain dew on weekdays, and hid so deeply.

Later, Senior Brother Jingqiu and Zhenren of Huazhuang left the sect at the same time, and after more than ten years of separation, he thought that he would never have the opportunity to meet this senior brother whom he admired again.

Pingqiu couldn't hold back tears and wet his sleeves.

The old Taoist priest saw that his former junior brother was in tears at this moment, and he couldn't help but think a lot, and said, "Pingqiu, don't come to harm." ”

Pingqiu nodded, the senior brother was still the same senior brother, and his tone had not changed, but when he returned, he was already full of white sideburns.

The old Taoist priest was still talking with the old acquaintances, but Zhang Xuanfu caught a glimpse of a woman behind the old Taoist priest, so he asked, "Uncle Jingqiu, who is this?" ”

The old Taoist priest smiled and responded: "Sixteen years of being alone in a foreign land, I naturally felt a little lonely, so I adopted this daughter." ”

This is what Yang Qing knows, the old Taoist priest has no blood connection with it, according to his words, it was adopted by a great master in Zenxin Temple. She also inquired about the master's Dharma name, or used this clue to find out the traces of his biological father, but whenever this happened, the old Taoist priest began to gag, and he really did not want to reveal the truth. Later, Yang Qing made an awkward fuss and threatened the old Taoist priest to ignore it if he didn't tell him again, or even not to feed him, forcing him to be helpless, and the old Taoist priest finally confided that the master had passed away, and it was really inconvenient to bother. It's really not to be disturbed.

The girl at that time did not despair, and decided to go deep into the Zen Heart Temple to find out. She saw the empty spirit card with her own eyes, and her heart was full of pain. Since no one in the world knew about his origins, she decided to follow the old Taoist priest around and sincerely regarded him as her father.

"I see." Zhang Xuanfu bowed slightly when he heard this, and then asked again: "So where is the expected place to settle down when Uncle Shi returns this time?" ”

Sixteen years ago, the Great Array was set up on the Empty Cicada Mountain where the old Taoist priest was. However, after the failure, the old Taoist priest chose to leave the sect, and now the main hall and side halls of the empty cicada mountain have fallen into decay, and the disciples have also left. The mountains are overgrown with weeds and ruins, and they are clearly not a place to live.

"It's better to live in Luoxia Mountain for the time being. It just so happened that I was interested in talking about the old relationship with Senior Brother Jingqiu. Pingqiu immediately stepped forward and warmly invited the old Taoist priest and others to live in Luoxia Mountain.

However, the old Taoist priest bluntly refused: "It's okay." I am naturally nostalgic, although the incense of the Empty Cicada Mountain has been extinguished, but after all, I am also the owner of the Empty Cicada Mountain. We haven't seen each other for many years, so we should first visit our homeland, even if it is desolate and dilapidated, and we can reorganize it. Moreover, I have been wandering outside for many years, and the empty cicada mountain has buried my hand, so I still need to take her to visit the patriarch and bow down to his old man to apologize. ”

Just as Pingqiu was about to speak, the old Taoist raised his palm slightly, signaling that he didn't need to say any more, he smiled calmly and said: "This return to the mountain gate is really to recuperate the injury, your dojo located in the Luoxia Mountain has many juniors, and the disciples are frolicking day and night, which is really quite noisy. ”

After Pingqiu heard this, he didn't say more, he knew the stubbornness of this Jingqiu senior brother.

At this moment, Zhang Xuanfu observed that the Taoist chief's attitude was resolute, so he replied with a knowing heart: "Since Uncle Shi has made a decision, the younger generation should follow it."

Then, Zhang Xuanfu raised his eyes again and stared at Yu Nian, who was sitting quietly in the corner, silent. This young man with a kind and familiar face made him seem to see the shadow of the senior brother in the depths of his memory.

Zhang Xuanfu sighed in his heart, and also had his own judgment on Yu Nian's identity, maybe he was indeed the descendant of that senior brother.

The top of the mountain towers straight into the clouds, the wind is surging, and the howl of the cold is shuttling and dancing outside the hall from time to time, and the sudden changes in the wind and clouds reflect the mood of everyone present, full of variables and uncertainties.

The rest of the people also focused their eyes on Yu Nian, and the similar appearance made everyone stunned, and they couldn't help but sigh.

With the passage of time, the disasters of the year have left irreparable scars, and the strength of Sifang Mountain has declined greatly, and in the eyes of outsiders, its status has been under the Cangshan Sword Sect. For this reason, at every Jishan Conference, the disciples of the Cangshan Sword Sect will mercilessly mock, insult and even challenge the disciples of the Sifang Mountain. Although it is still one of the three gates, it can no longer reproduce its former glory.

This is also an unspeakable regret in the hearts of everyone in Sifang Mountain!

Especially after Zhang Xuanfu took over as the head of Sifang Mountain, he not only had to deal with the complicated affairs on Sifang Mountain, but also had insight into many secrets that the original head of the family did not mention to him.

In fact, Sifang Mountain was far from being as dazzling as it seemed, from the day when Huazhuang Zhenren and Zhaoxi Jian left together, the Jingqiu Uncle of Kongcia Mountain followed, and the former strength of Sifang Mountain suddenly shrank significantly. What's worse is that the Cangshan Sword Sect is ready to move on it like a hungry wolf at this moment, and the heavy pressure is pressing on the Sifang Mountain like Mount Tai's top, relying only on Zhang Xuanfu, who is alone, struggling to support it. However, now his time is running out, and Sifang Mountain is in urgent need of an injection of fresh blood to turn the tide and keep the peace of the sect.

Now, the return of Uncle Jingqiu has undoubtedly brought hope to Sifang Mountain. Although I don't know what his strength is now, I think it will also be affected by the events of the past, and if there is an elixir to assist, recovery is not impossible.

In addition, Uncle Jingqiu's attainments in the field of talismans are exquisite, famous all over the world, with him in charge, even in the face of many threats, the Sifang Mountain can defend against one or two.

Sixteen years ago, the previous head tried to use the sword qi fortune of Zhaoxi Sword, but he failed to get his wish and suffered a counterattack from Heavenly Dao, and the sect was naturally unable to avoid being implicated, and Zhaoxi Sword was also taken away by the real person of Huazhuang. Rao is Zhang Xuanfu is trying his best, and there is nothing he can do about it.

Now, the ancient sword like the Zhaoxi Sword is in front of him, Zhang Xuanfu's heart is stirring, if it is really the Zhaoxi Sword, he may be able to borrow the luck in it.

The thoughts in his heart were surging like a tide, and Zhang Xuanfu's eyes were full of heat when he looked at Yu Nian, as if he had found a treasure that he had been looking for for many years, and he was both excited and eager to hold it in his hands.

"You must be Yu Nian, right?" Zhang Xuanfu, who was wearing a dark robe, first began with a loud and loud voice like Da Lu, his tone was solemn and deep, just hearing him speak softly, but it seemed to have a deafening effect, shocking people.

Yu Nian's heart tightened, thinking that as Mr. Zhao said, the cultivation of the Sifang Mountain Palm Sect must be unfathomable, so he lowered his head and replied respectfully: "The immortals are above, and the younger generation is Yu Nian." "At this critical moment, Yu Nian didn't dare to show any slackness, although Lu Yingchao had invited him to go up the mountain to refine his mind and realize the Tao in order to achieve immortality, obviously this was also assigned, but in the face of the Sifang Mountain Sect in front of him, Yu Nian still needs to act cautiously, so as not to anger him, so as not to lose the precious opportunity to step into the immortal gate, isn't it a pity? This good opportunity, which has come through a lot of hardships, must not be wasted.

Zhang Xuanfu stared at it for more than a while, and saw that this young man was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his eyes were filled with an upright and frank atmosphere, which couldn't help but remind him of the senior brother of Huazhuang, who exuded a unique heroic temperament.

"The Song Mansion once mentioned in the letter that Your Excellency had used the spirit sword to drive away the Mirror Demon, could it be the ancient long sword in Xiaoyou's hand?" Zhang Xuanfu asked, while pointing to the long sword on Yu Nian's back, everyone's eyes also followed Zhang Xuanfu's fingers, and after seeing the long sword, an excited expression appeared on everyone's face.

Yu Nian couldn't help but be deeply surprised by everyone's reaction. Although this long sword was left to him by his father during his lifetime, it did not explain its origin and origin, as well as the story behind it. This makes me think about it for more than a few years, and my understanding of it is like a fog, and I can't see what kind of secrets are hidden behind the truth.

Yu Nian slowly took the long sword from behind him, carefully figuring out the lines of the hilt while reproducing in his mind the image of each time he pulled out the sword. He secretly speculated that this sword was probably not extraordinary, perhaps extraordinary, but he still did not know its ins and outs. His deceased father left him no revelations or clues, so he had to rely on himself to find answers to this forgotten history.

But seeing the reactions of these Theravada immortals, they may know something? Maybe you can find a thing or two from them.

Yu Nian already has a plan in his heart, just wait for the time to come. Looking at the reactions of the people around him, Yu Nian speculated that they must have understood the hidden meaning. So, Yu Nian patiently waited for a suitable time to try to find clues from them.

Lu Yingchao, who was standing beside him, looked at the long sword in Yu Nian's hand, he had witnessed Yu Nian exert the power of this sword, and that young man was able to repel the mirror demon with only his mortal body. It can be seen that the power of this sword must be extraordinary. Although Lu Yingchao had always thought that this sword was not trivial, he did not think of the artifact that carried luck, because the Zhaoxi Sword had been missing for many years, and it was difficult to imagine that a sword that he encountered casually could be convinced.

Moreover, this sword was given by Yu Yuan's father, and it should have no special power, maybe it is just a spiritual spirit sword, and there is still a gap compared with the legendary Zhaoxi sword.

The only thing that puzzled Lu Yingchao was why Senior Brother Zhang and the other sect elders were so excited about this?

Lu Yingchao was full of doubts and decided to remain silent and stand quietly to the side, observing the development of the situation.

At this time, Yu Nian was still fantasizing about his various scenery after cultivating immortals, and at this time, Zhang Xuanfu's voice came: "Uncle Jingqiu, it's not early, why don't you rest here tonight, I will let my disciples arrange guest rooms for you, and then send someone to clean the empty cicada mountain with you tomorrow, how about it?" ”

The old Taoist priest sighed softly, and left the main hall with the girl.
