After Lu An opened his eyes, what appeared in front of him was a sword hilt, which Lu An didn't expect at all.

Puzzled, he glanced at this sword hilt a few times, it was completely different from the things in front of him, the sword hilt did not exude any breath, and he stayed there quietly, but Lu An felt that this sword hilt was what he wanted from his heart, and the moment he opened his eyes, he somehow felt like this sword hilt, such a worn-out, even a little tattered hilt, it should be a long time ago, looking at the style, this sword should be a simple type, light black, without any patterns, only three shallow grooves, which can make the hand hold tighter and more comfortable, The only special thing is that there is a red silk that is tattered to blackening on the hilt of the sword, and I don't know if it was originally this color or dyed by something, and it looks weather-beaten.

Lu An stretched out his hand and tried to touch it, but found that there was no change, so he was a little bolder, and directly and carefully grasped it in his hand, feeling the comfort brought by the groove, which fit his hand very well.

Then he shouted to Ming: "Master, I have chosen, this is it." After speaking, he shook his hand at Mingming.

Seeing what Lu An was holding in his hand, he looked puzzled, "A sword hilt? Are you sure, this is a sword trick?"

"I don't know, but I know it's going to work for me. Lu An nodded affirmatively.

"Are you sure? You only have one chance, and you don't know when you'll have to wait until you come in and pick something up next time, so you'll have to think about it. Clearly reminded again.

Lu An nodded affirmatively again, "I decided, that's it." ”

"In that case, it's up to you, if you're so sure. He nodded understandingly.

Then, the two walked out of the underground and returned to the main hall, Bai Yu saw the two coming back, and asked Lu An with a smile: "Why did you pick something so fast?" ”

Lu An stretched out his hand and handed the hilt of the sword to Bai Yu to look at.

Bai Yu touched his face and said suspiciously, "That's it?" Are you sure?"

Lu An nodded again and asked suspiciously, "Isn't this thing good?"

Bai Yu shook his head and replied, "It's not that it can't be, I'm just very strange that there are so many things, why did you pick such a thing?"

Lu An said embarrassedly: "I don't know, I originally wanted to find a more powerful sword technique, but when I looked all the way and saw this sword handle, I had a feeling that this sword handle would definitely be very suitable for me, so I chose this." ”

"Sword Technique, this sword handle was found in the Sword Technique?" Bai Yu asked rhetorically.

When I understood this, I felt strange and asked, "Why, don't you know?"

Zhao Liu touched the teacup and said with a smile: "How many things are in the basement, our white stewards remember it clearly, you are questioning our white stewards, do you still want things?"

Clearly said to Zhao Liu, "Then tell me?"

"Okay, let me tell you, this sword handle doesn't actually belong to the City Lord's Mansion, but to the Craftsman City, and it's been in that basement for a long, long time. Bai Yu replied.

"And then?" Lu An asked.

"This matter has been talked about, but when it comes to it, it is also very simple, in fact, when the first city lord of Craftsman City took office, this sword hilt has been in that basement, and today is the first time it has seen the sun for so many years. Bai Yu said.

"Doesn't this thing have to be thousands of years old?" asked him rhetorically.

"It's at least 3,000 years old, and no one knows when the hilt of the sword appeared in the craftsman city, but with the fact that he has not been corrupted for thousands of years, the successive city lords have not discarded it, and they have put it together with the most valuable sword trick, which shows that they still value this hilt very much, but they don't know what this thing is for, or how it should be used. Bai Yu replied.

Lu An heard this, and heard a meaning from Bai Yu's words, that is, Bai Yu hoped that he would change it, there were so many treasures in the basement, and it was much more useful to choose a practical sword trick than this broken sword hilt, after all, I understood it earlier, and the opportunity was rare.

But after walking around by himself, he chose it alone among so many treasures, and his heart struggled for a while.

Lu An shook his head, and just as he wanted to speak, Bai Yu raised his hand and said, " From your expression, I can see that you will not give up this sword hilt, since you have insisted in your own heart, then follow your heart, or this is fate, maybe it is fate, cultivators must follow what they think in their hearts, the so-called things that go against the heart cannot be violated, and things that go well are not smooth, they are all sticking to their hearts, and it has been waiting in the basement for 3,000 years before it has waited for you, then you can also give it a chance, or it gives you a chance, Lu An, take advantage of it, maybe it's a good thing, but I haven't met the person it wants before, right？”

When Lu An heard Bai Yu's words, he immediately smiled, "Thank you for your success." ”

He shook his head and sighed, "I just had three top-grade sword techniques in front of me, and I missed it like this, just take one and sell it for at least tens of thousands of spirit crystals, alas." ”

"Don't think about it, the sword tricks under the basement are all fragments, and there is no complete one, basically based on one and a half moves, or sword intent, purely based on perception, think about it, do you think that Lu An chose this sword hilt is also very good. Bai Yu said with a smile.

Clearly stroked his beard, "No loss." ”

Yu Wenyuan looked at these people going around here, and asked uncontrollably: "After you finished discussing, isn't it just a broken sword hilt, it seems to be how serious it is, it was all caused by you, a little bafft, what is not good to pick such a broken thing." ”

Lu An touched his head shyly.

"Yuwen Mangfu, be quiet, why are you talking so loudly, the ears of the people here are very good, and they are not deaf. Understood.

"Well, it's time to talk about the rest. Zhao Liu came out to play a round game.

Seeing this, the three people seemed to really have something to discuss, and said to Lu An: "Since we have got the things, let's withdraw and not disturb the three big men to discuss big things here." ”

As soon as the two of them took two steps, Bai Yu shouted: "You can go, Lu An stays, what we said has something to do with him." ”

Knowing that his eyebrows furrowed, he looked back at Bai Yu with a smiling face, and replied, "It has something to do with my apprentice?

Lu An was also puzzled and asked, "What does it have to do with me?"

Yu Wenyuan walked up to Lu An, looked back and forth, left and right, and then patted Lu An twice on the shoulder with a pair of big hands, and laughed: "Boy, is the foundation good, I haven't seen it well before, if it weren't for the old man who took you as an apprentice, I would have been a little moved." ”

Knowing this, he suddenly turned his beard up, and scolded Yu Wenyuan: "Reckless man, are you a bit of a rabbit who wants to eat the grass next to the nest? Do you know that in order to accept me as an apprentice, I spent two whole years, not a whole year. ”

"Hahaha, joke and laugh. Yu Wenyuan smiled awkwardly, and then patted Lu An on the shoulder twice, Lu An's legs suddenly weakened, and the whole person was softened.

"Some time ago, did you hear about Yuanmou City?" Bai Yu asked Lu An.

"Is there a monster eating people? I've heard a little about this, and it is said that the monster also produces spirit crystal spirit stones, I don't know if it's true or not. Lu An replied honestly.

Bai Yu nodded, "It seems that you have also heard of this matter, in fact, it is true, there has been a change in the Northern Snow Mountain recently, and many people have died, although the news has been blocked, it has still spread, probably this is almost the meaning, but this severity is much more serious than imagined, and Yuanmou City has almost fallen." ”

As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, all the people present were shocked and fell? Is this a bit exaggerated? Zhao Liu was the first to question: "Yuanmou is the largest city in the northern border of the Han Dynasty, with 50,000 troops stationed all year round, and is very familiar with the environment of the snow-capped mountains in the Northern Regions.

Yu Wenyuan frowned rarely, thought about it, and didn't speak.

Knowing is a look of horror.

Lu An looked even more incredulous, completely unaware of what was going on.

Bai Yu lightly raised the secret letter in his hand, "The news has just arrived, it is said that it was still yesterday, according to the speed of the flying sword's transmission, it should have arrived last night, and it only arrived this afternoon, what do you think it explains?"

Zhao Liu finally looked like a great enemy at this time, looked at Bai Yu with a straight face and said: "It shows that yesterday the entire army of Yuanmou City was wiped out, and no one escaped, and the entire 100,000 soldiers and civilians died there, and they didn't even send out a message for help, and they were only discovered today." ”

Yu Wenyuan asked in a low voice, "Then, do we still want to go?" As soon as he finished speaking, the other four people stared at him, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

A drop of tea slowly dripped from the tea spout to the tabletop, "ticking", crisp into the ear.

"It doesn't have to be like this, the worst outcome is true, but it is not ruled out that there are other possibilities, this letter can show that the situation is now beyond the control of the Han Dynasty, and more or less concealed something. Bai Yu said while coughing.

Clearly glanced at Bai Yu and interjected: "This matter may be more serious than I thought." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately stared at them and understood, "Do you know the inside story?" Zhao Liu asked.

He nodded clearly and continued: "I just know a little, the Northern Regions Snow Mountain has never been an ordinary place, and the four forbidden places are not called in vain, after this avalanche, what is revealed may be the true face of the Northern Regions Snow Mountain, and those monsters are the real masters there, so that Yuanmou City is relatively unlucky, those monsters have been quiet for thousands of years, and now they are going to come out to ask for a scene again." ”

Bai Yu nodded, and asked very puzzledly, "How did you know about this?"

"You don't care how I know, I just know. Knowing disdain, he replied.

"Oh, then tell me about the events of a thousand years ago, why did it appear and then disappear again?" said Zhao Liu, taking a sip of tea.

"It's not that it appears, but it's always existed, just like the kings of the other four places, I don't know much about the reason, after all, it's too old. Said clearly and casually.

When Lu An heard the words "four places", he stopped talking, didn't this history understand what he had said before? Obviously he knew it in detail, but now he began to hide it, and he didn't know what the purpose was, but Lu An was still honest as a listener.

The other two still looked curious, except for Bai Yu, who seemed to have some eyebrows, and their brows were stretched, stopping Zhao Liu, who wanted to continue to ask, and said: "It's useless to know these histories, let's pay attention to the present, and talk about whether we should get involved now." ”

Lu An couldn't help but ask at this time: "But what does this have to do with me? Aren't they all things that you should consider at your level?"

Bai Yu got up rarely, walked to Lu An's side, and then whispered a few words in his ear, and then continued to go back.

After hearing this, Lu An was immediately stupid, looked at Bai Yu incredulously, and opened his mouth to ask, "Uncle Shi, are you also overestimating me?"

Bai Yu nodded.

The other three all looked at the two of them curiously, and they wanted to know what Bai Yu said, two of them were hindered by the identity of the grandmaster, and the other was hindered by the way of a gentleman, and they all disdained to listen, although they could see from their eyes that they all wanted to know what these words said.

Bai Yu tapped the table lightly with his fingers, pulled back the thoughts of the other three people, and said lightly: "Now that the city lord is not here, I am responsible for the affairs of the craftsman city, but this kind of major matter, I want to hear the opinions of a few of you, and then I will make plans, the situation I know now is like this, let's talk about it, Zhao Liu, you have always been familiar with the affairs of the three dynasties." ”

Zhao Liu nodded, " I didn't expect the situation to change so much this time, but the three dynasties of the Han Shang and Zhou dynasties in the north seem to ignore each other, there are occasional frictions, and they have always been calm, but in fact, they have been secretly competing, so this time the Shang Zhou should be to see the excitement, and they don't plan to make up, they must belong to the kind that can't work, and then the Sword Pavilion, the Wu Pavilion, these two freaks, have always only been on the avenue, this time, it is estimated that it is also based on experience, and it may be easy to help, the purpose of the remaining Zhongzhou faction and Taiyi Sect is not very clear, these two have always been the same breath, the word is the head, this time they are here againI don't know where their purpose is for the time being, but it is certain that the primary purpose is not to eliminate harm for the people. ”

"Hmph, you are hypocritical to what they say, what kind of profit is the head, it is obviously mercenary, you want everything when you see it, and you want to mix it with everything. Yu Wenyuan said sarcastically.

Zhao Liu frowned, ignored it and continued: "So these big forces now may not have anything to count on, maybe those scattered cultivators, rangers are the main force this time, there are not 10,000 but thousands of people who go to join in the fun, plus the Han Dynasty's temptation, maybe this time the matter should be solved, so I think this time we should go to see it, just look at it, and it can be regarded as a pass for the face of all parties." ”

Bai Yu nodded when he heard this, and looked at Yu Wenyuan, "What about you?"

Yu Wenyuan scratched his head, "Fuck it, can you not go?" Some people haven't seen it for a long time, their fists are a little itchy, and the men in my north can't just disappear for no reason, they have to go and join in the fun. ”

After Bai Yu listened, he couldn't help but turn to understand, "What about you, did you plan before, or do you want to get involved?"

Clearly shook his head, "So many people have gone, what does it matter if I don't go or not? This kind of excitement is also in vain, don't go." ”

Bai Yu nodded understandingly, "What about Lu An, did you agree to what you just said?"

Lu An nodded, then shook his head, and said, "I'd better go along, but don't let me lead the team, isn't it a little strange that I'm so young?" and then glanced at it clearly.

Knowing that hearing Lu An's words, although he felt strange, he still said: "You can go if you want, it's okay to go out and walk around, you are young, it's not interesting to nest in one place all day, and the grandmaster didn't come out of the nest, but came out." ”

Lu An nodded and asked rhetorically, "Master, aren't you going?"

Nodding his head in understanding, Lu An continued to ask, "Why? Isn't this kind of thing what interests you the most?"

Knowing stretched out, "I've been busy with your business lately, I've been busy for a year, it's time to take a break, I'm old." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the other three people rolled their eyes in unison, and this reason was really a bit unacceptable.

Lu An sighed, thinking about it, in order to survive himself, in the past year, he understands that he has done a lot, and it is time to rest, so he should go and visit this new river and lake.
