Because Li Qingxuan was worried about his mother at home, he hurried day and night, fortunately there was no accident on the way, and he finally returned to Wuxian County in Suzhou on this day two months later. Li Qingxuan's home is in an alley in the south of the city, and it is a courtyard house with white walls and green tiles.

Li Qingxuan looked up and saw that the door of his house was closed, and the cobwebs on the eaves were crisscrossed, and no one swept them away. Li Qingxuan couldn't help but be a little strange: "My mother is a person who loves cleanliness, is she sick, so she didn't clean up? But why did she close the door in broad daylight?"

Li Qingxuan pushed open the door with a palm and shouted, "Mother, I'm back!" The room was quiet, only his echo. Li Qingxuan's heart was pounding, and he hurriedly ran in three steps and two steps. Stepping into the front hall, I saw a red nanmu coffin placed in it.

Li Qingxuan's surprise was not trivial, his legs were sore, he fell down on the spot, and threw himself on the coffin! A kind voice was suddenly heard in his ears shouting: "Xuan'er, wake up, wake up!" Li Qingxuan got up and looked up to see that it was his uncle Zheng Yu, whom he had not seen for several years.

Li Qingxuan asked blankly: "Uncle, my mother, my mother-" In fact, this question is redundant, he has only one mother in his family, who else can be the coffin if it is not his mother's coffin? Zheng Yu sighed and said, "Xuan'er, your mother has gone!"

Zheng Yu wiped his tears, and then said: "Your mother's health is not very good, two months ago, I just escaped from the sandbank, and I saw your mother when I came back. She said she was worried that the war was still going on and that you wouldn't be able to come back. ”

"I persuaded Brother Xuan to be shrewd and capable, and most likely he would return safely. But although I tried my best to explain, I couldn't get rid of the worries in her heart. In this way, she got sick, and I went to Gusu City to ask for many doctors, and they all said that it was a heart disease that could not be treated. ”

"Dragged on to the ninth day of the first month of this month, she finally couldn't afford to be sick, and couldn't wait for you to come back, as your uncle, I put this Nanmu coffin for your mother, put her in the coffin, and stopped the coffin in the hall, waiting for you to come back and bury. Ah, Xuan'er, what's wrong with you?"

Li Qingxuan's eyes were in a daze, biting his lip tightly, blood flowed straight out from between his teeth, he slammed his head against the coffin, and cried out: "Mother, it's all children who are not filial, and you won't be blind when you are tired!" Zheng Yu hurriedly dragged him and said, "Xuan'er, you are the only seedling in the Li family, you have to listen to your uncle's words and take care of yourself, so that you can be worthy of your dead mother!"

Li Qingxuan suddenly regained a little consciousness, and then he howled and cried bitterly. Zheng Yu treated him to cry bitterly, and said: "Xuan'er, people can't be resurrected after death, since you are back, let your mother go to the ground as soon as possible." ”

Li Qingxuan knelt down and kowtowed to Zheng Yu three times, and said, "Uncle Domeng takes care of my mother, your kindness, and my nephew can't repay it." My mother's funeral has to be presided over by my uncle. Zheng Yu said: "I am a fellow mother and a fellow mother of your mother, and I am connected by blood, as her brother, I am duty-bound." Choose an auspicious day and bury your mother and father together!"

On the third day, Li Qingxuan, with the help of his uncle Zheng Yu and relatives and neighbors, buried his mother and father together. Li Qingxuan then asked his relatives and neighbors to help build a bamboo house in front of his father's and mother's tombs, and then spent some silver taels to set up some banquets to thank his relatives and neighbors for their help.

On the morning of the fourth day, his uncle Zheng Yu arranged for servants to bring him some grain, fruits and vegetables, as well as some utensils. As for the servants and cooks arranged for him by his uncle, he returned them all to his uncle, and he wanted to be alone in front of his parents' graves, as if they were still alive.

That night, in the bamboo house, Li Qingxuan took out the "Taiyi Swordsmanship" and carefully studied, Taiyi swordsmanship is the Taiyimen swordsmanship of Zhongnan Mountain, its swordsmanship is characterized by both fast and slow, rigid and soft, the sword is required to walk with the sword when practicing, with the sword, the shape of the god to achieve the shape and the will, the meaning and the qi, the gas and the god. In the Liuhe, it also needs hands, eyes, body, law, and steps.

This swordsmanship, like a dragon out of the water, quiet like a civet cat catching mice, in the midst of movement, the hand is divided into yin and yang, the body hides the gossip, steps on the nine palaces, the inner is in line with its qi, the outer is in its shape, it is the leader in the Taiyi Gate swordsmanship, since ancient times it is the treasure of the town gate of Taiyi Gate, the secret method.

When Li Qingxuan turned the last few pages of "Taiyi Swordsmanship", he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and under the light of the candlelight, the last three sheets of paper were very dull, not transparent at all, and very strange! Li Qingxuan twisted the paper with his hand, and felt that there seemed to be something in the paper.

Li Qingxuan read "Taiyi Sword Technique" again from beginning to end, and after making sure that he remembered it very clearly, Li Qingxuan twisted the paper with his right thumb and index finger, only to see that the paper was broken, revealing the contents inside, which was as thin as a cicada's wings, inlaid with gold edges, and the paper was densely woven from silk, with some small characters on it, which could not be seen clearly.

Li Qingxuan then twisted the last two pieces of paper, which were still inlaid with gold edges. Although Li Qingxuan has excellent eyesight, he still can't see the handwriting on the paper clearly, and can only vaguely distinguish the five words in the first line: Kendo Enlightenment.

Li Qingxuan secretly said in his heart: The true chapter of sword enlightenment, could it be the cultivation method of the Taoist Sword Immortal School? In this world, there are endless legends about immortals and ghosts, and the deeds of cultivating the true enlightenment and attaining immortality have also been circulated, but they have not yet seen it.

Li Qingxuan's thoughts were a little confused, and he felt very sleepy, he rubbed his temples, hid the three pieces of silkworm treasure paper on his chest, and then took off the green shirt and robe on his body, threw the green shirt on the hanger, and then fell asleep.

But he didn't see it, and the pale golden beads in the green shirt were thrown out, and they happened to be thrown into the water tank. When Li Qingxuan woke up dimly, the moonlight cast by the window looked quite bright. "It's already time. Thinking this, he suddenly found that his mouth was thirsty, and he sat up, scooped some water into the tank, and raised his head to drink.

Li Qingxuan felt a cool fragrance of melons and fruits flowing down his throat, extremely refreshing and sweet, as if it was delicious in the world! Li Qingxuan frowned, and secretly said that there was something strange, although the well water he brought was also a little sweet, but it was definitely not so sweet, it was a hundred times sweeter than any delicacy melon and fruit he had ever eaten!
