The black-robed old man stared at Yu Nian, his eyes were blazing, as if he remembered the scenery when he was young, and he also had such a longing in his heart, hoping to fight the sword world and become famous.

It's just that the great change sixteen years ago caused too many changes in his life, and at the same time, Sifang Mountain lost a lot of talents under his careless guidance.

In Sifang Mountain, he always has a deep sense of regret and always wants to make up for his past mistakes.

At this moment, when he saw the young man in front of him with a graceful and lofty ambition, a warm light flashed in his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said with a serious and sincere expression: "Yu Nian Xiaoyou, you now understand that this Zhaoxi Sword carries the luck of Kunwumen, and is related to the prosperity and rise and fall of Sifang Mountain. If one day you can get back your luck and sword spirit, I hope to return it, and everyone in the Quartet Mountain is grateful. ”

Hearing these words, Yu Nian's heart was terrified. He has not officially become a disciple of the head of the sect, how dare he receive such a great gift from his master. So he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and made a sonorous promise: "Master rest assured, if you can find the sword spirit and Kunwu luck, the younger generation will return this sword to the sect to repay the cultivation grace of the sect." ”

When he said this, on the one hand, he expressed his determination that if Sifang Mountain needed anything, he was willing to return the Zhaoxi Sword unconditionally.

On the other hand, in order to get a clear answer as to whether Sifang Mountain was willing to accept him as a disciple, he could return the Zhaoxi Sword, but this was out of return for the sect's kindness to his cultivation. If the sect had not cultivated him, then this kind of invisible kindness would not be able to be talked about.

After all, this sword is a relic left by his father, and if Sifang Mountain has no effort at all, it is really inappropriate to ask for the relics left by his father.

However, he didn't expect that the relics left behind by his father would contain such a significant background, no wonder the Masters of the Azure Peak and the first seats of the Celestial Peak would have different expressions when they saw this sword today, presumably they were also aware of the extraordinary background of this sword.

However, what puzzled Yu Nian was that since this sword was given to him by his father, and the origin of the sword was so extraordinary, who was his father?

The black-robed elder seemed to have insight into Yu Nian's doubts, nodded slightly, and said frankly: "You can rest assured." ”

Yu Nian was overjoyed when he heard about it, and his ancestor said that it would be possible to come to the apprenticeship, and at this moment he couldn't help but be full of excitement and anticipation in his heart.

Yu Nian couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, and the ancestor spoke, knowing that the apprenticeship was a foregone conclusion, and at this moment he was surging with excitement and expectation in his heart.

After being silent for a long time, Yu Nian once again opened his mouth to ask the doubts in his heart: "I don't know if the ancestor can tell the younger generation that this sword was left by my father before his death." Since you know this sword, you must be familiar with my father's life, and the younger generation wants to know, who is my father? ”

Yu Nian finished speaking, staring straight at the black-robed old man, his eyes were full of sincerity and impatience.

He knew very little about his father's past, and his father never talked much about him until he died, leaving him with this ancient sword, and all other information was blank.

As a son of man, Yu Nian is full of curiosity about his father's past, and is extremely eager to know about his father's past, especially after learning about the extraordinary origin of the ancient sword left by his father, this curiosity is like a fire.

However, at this moment, the black-robed old man did not immediately answer his doubts, but instead turned his eyes to the sky, his expression fell into memory, and he muttered to himself, as if he was answering the question of Yu Nian, and seemed to be whispering to himself: "Your father was my proudest disciple, gifted, talented, in order to protect the Sifang Mountain, he would rather sacrifice his life for righteousness, dare to be the first in the world, if he is still alive, then this position of head of the sect must belong to him!"

Now this is the case, just because the secret twists and turns involved a major event in the Sifang Mountain in previous years, you just need to keep in mind that your father is of noble character, honest and trustworthy, and is a rare talent, but it's a pity ......"

There was a pause.

The look of the black-robed veteran revealed a deep helplessness.

Yu Nian stared at the black-robed old man with burning eyes, and his tone was urgent: "And then, what is the pity?" ”

The black-robed old man shook his head and decided not to say more, just reminded Yu Nian: "The night is coming, the weather is getting colder, there is still an apprenticeship ceremony to participate in tomorrow, it is better to rest early." ”

Then he turned around and drifted away, leaving Yu Nian alone in the courtyard and looking at the sky.

-------------------------------------

Following.

The morning light is not yet dazzling, and the clouds are fading.

Yu got up very early, and dressed up carefully.

Today was the day of the formal apprenticeship ceremony, it was a big day for him, but he didn't dare to be sloppy, he put on another set of cleaner and neater clothes, carefully washed his face, and then weighed about half a pillar of incense in the mirror, and then he was satisfied, grinning,

At this time, Senior Brother Jiang Fang knocked lightly on the door panel and shouted outside the door: "Little junior brother has gotten up, it's time to go to the Guanri Hall to worship the teacher." ”

"Here we are." Yu Nian answered, opened the door, walked out, and smoothed the hair next to his ears.

However, Jiang Fang didn't notice it, so he turned around and walked towards the outside of the courtyard, without looking back, just hurriedly said to Fang Nian: "Little junior brother, we need to speed up the trip, don't miss the hour." ”

Yu Nian saw that Jiang Fang didn't say a word about what he was dressed up today, so he couldn't help but be helpless, and quickly followed.

Guanri Hall is the main hall of Chaoxia Mountain, where all major or trivial matters will be discussed or decided, and Zhang Xuanfu is the first seat and the person in charge of Chaoxia Mountain.

Yu Nian and Jiang Fang stepped into the Guanri Hall, but they didn't find any trace of Zhang Xuanfu, only one person was sitting in a wheelchair, and he could only be pushed forward with the help of the miscellaneous disciples behind him.

The seated man had a pale face, a heavy look of sorrow between his brows, and an unapproachable chill in the depths of his pupils.

"Fourth junior brother, why did you come here, why don't you recuperate in peace at the residence?" As soon as Jiang Fang entered the Guanri Hall, he saw the fourth junior brother Fang Chengzhi waiting, and he couldn't help but be curious, because usually this fourth senior brother stayed in his residence to recuperate, and rarely appeared in front of everyone, but why did he come here so early today? ”

Fang Chengzhi coughed lightly a few times, responded gently, and explained: "I heard that there was some movement yesterday, so I asked people to inquire, and learned that we have welcomed a new junior brother in Chaoxia Mountain, as a senior brother, he should naturally come out to meet, and he has been trapped in the residence, he will always feel tired, and sometimes it is necessary to come out moderately to breathe." ”

After saying that, Fang Chengzhi's profound gaze happened to fall on Yu Nian beside him, and a shallow smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and greeted him cordially: "Presumably this is the new junior brother, right?" ”

At this moment, Yu Nian noticed that this senior brother was sitting in a wheelchair and had difficulty moving, and recalled that Jiang Fang had mentioned this yesterday, so he suddenly realized, only then did he learn that this was the fourth disciple of Chaoxia Mountain, Fang Chengzhi, seeing that the other party was looking at him, Yu Nian hurriedly saluted respectfully and respectfully, and said humbly: "In the next Yu Nian, I have seen the fourth senior brother." ”

"Everyone is the same brother and sister, so there is no need to be so rigid and serious." Fang Chengzhi raised his hand, motioned for Yu Nian to get up, and then carefully looked at the junior brother who had just started, his facial features were upright, heroic, his eyes were bright, and his spirit was radiant, Fang Chengzhi couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face, and said approvingly: "The spirit leader is quite good." ”

"Thank you, senior brother, for your compliment." Yu Nian showed a bright smile.

Jiang Fang had been inadvertently glancing at the sky outside the window, until noon, and he didn't see Zhang Xuanfu's figure, his brows furrowed slightly, and he turned to Yu Nian and said: "The master has not yet reached this point, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out because of the entangled affairs." Therefore, the little junior brother still needs to wait for a while, and I believe that the master will return as soon as possible. ”

"Listen to your commands." Yu Nian nodded respectfully, obediently waiting on the side, a pair of eyes looking into the distance curiously, looking forward to Zhang Xuanfu starting their cultivation journey as soon as possible after the end of his apprenticeship.

Jiang Fang responded with a smile after hearing this, and said firmly: "Senior brother can be relieved, since the master has already made such a promise, naturally there is no reason to break his word." There is no need to question this, just wait here for a moment, and I will go and find out where the Master is at this moment. ”

"In this way, then thank you, senior brother." Yu Nian clasped his fists again and again and said words of thanks.

Jiang Fang raised his hand slightly, and was about to leave the Guanri Hall and step to the Azure Dome to explore Zhang Xuanfu's traces.

However, when he had just stepped out of the gate of the Observation Hall, he saw a tiny black dot in the sky. After a closer look, it turned out to be their master at the head of Chaoxia Mountain, only to see him stepping on the flying sword and galloping towards this side.

Yu Nian hurriedly ran out of the door when he heard the news, stood on the threshold and looked up in the direction Jiang Fang pointed, and sure enough, he caught a glimpse of Zhang Xianren's figure, his dark clothes fluttering, and he flew with a sword. The joy in my heart is like a spring.

In addition to being about to worship Zhang Xuanfu and become a disciple of Sifang Mountain, he also watched Zhang Xuanfu step on the flying sword, as fast as flying, and freely controlled in the sky.

I saw that before Zhang Xuanfu landed on the ground, Jiang Fang had already caught up with him, and he clenched his fists with his hands respectfully and gave a deep salute.
