An Ziyu, the head of the Excalibur Sect, was never surprised when he was young. When he took over the Divine Sword Sect from his father, the Divine Sword Sect was still just a Jianghu sect that had received the emperor's favor.

After the Dragon and Tiger League, the number one gang in the northern martial arts of that year, was overthrown by the imperial court, the Divine Sword Gate regained some prestige with the support of the imperial court.

Earlier, there was a sword master in the Excalibur Gate, and that was the real majesty.

And An Ziyu has worked hard over the years, and finally put the Shenjian Gate back on the right track, and also consolidated the status of the first martial arts sect in the northern part of the Shenjian Gate.

It can be said that if it were not for An Ziyu's increasing improvement in martial arts, until he reached the list of Qingzhu Heroes of Qingzhusheng, I am afraid that the Divine Sword Sect would only exist mediocre until now.

After the fall of the Dragon and Tiger Alliance, many sects rose rapidly, but they all eyed the position of the northern martial arts boss. To say that the southern martial arts are the world of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, the status of the northern martial arts is obviously more exciting.

However, after An Ziyu turned thirty, the breakthrough was as smooth as cutting vegetables, so that the Divine Sword Sect had no opponents in the northern martial arts later. Coupled with the delicate relationship between the Shenjian Gate and the Xiao family's court, the status of the Shenjian Gate in the Jianghu martial arts is even more difficult to shake.

......

At the cliff of the mountain behind the Excalibur Gate.

Two white-haired old men are fighting each other.

The one in the white robe is An Ziyu, and the one in the black robe is Yang Feng, the leader of the martial arts alliance decades ago.

These two are old friends.

(For the experience of the two, see my first book "Flying Flower Sword Rain Record" for details.) ）

......

At the time of the decisive move, An Ziyu was engrossed in his attention and stabbed out a powerful sword, and Yang Feng lined up his palms, and when the robe rolled, the palm power also burst out.

An Ziyu volleyed in the air, the tip of the sword pointed at Yang Feng's palms, and the sword aura was full of strength, becoming more and more intense.

Yang Feng suddenly involuntarily took a step back, and further back, there was a cliff.

Seeing this, An Ziyu hurriedly pulled back the Xuantie Sword, the sword he carried with him, and fell to the ground after turning over in the air.

Yang Feng also closed his palms and stabilized his mind.

Yang Feng said with a smile: "I didn't expect that after many years of not seeing, your skills are really different from before, I always thought that Qingzhusheng was a person who deceived the world and stole fame." ”

"I can't imagine that after all these years, your skills have never been refined. An Ziyu walked over reflexively and stood side by side with Yang Feng, admiring the beautiful scenery on the cliff.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and their mutual sarcasm was still so cordial.

These two people, because they had studied art in Jiuxuanmen before, were accompanied by Taoist mental methods, so they were still able to maintain a ruddy complexion and radiance at the age of eighty. If it weren't for the already gray hair on their heads that betrayed them, no one would have guessed their real age.

Yang Feng suddenly felt relaxed and happy, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the beautiful scenery on Zhuangyuan Mountain would have a bit of the feeling of Taiqing Mountain back then." ”

An Ziyu bowed slightly: "Yes, the mountains are high, and the clouds and mist are all somewhat similar." ”

These two widowed old men have always avoided mentioning their deceased wives, because their deceased wives are their original deceased spouses.

When people reach a certain age, they are often most afraid of mentioning the deceased who is no longer alive. And the most cherished is also the old man, but the difference is that this old man is still alive.

The two were silent for a while, and An Ziyu asked, "Say, what is the purpose of going up the mountain this time?"

Yang Feng hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "It's nothing." It's just that I feel like my time is running out, so I'm going to see you. ”

"Hey. An Ziyu smiled bitterly and shook his head, the past experience came to mind, but he had also experienced a lot over the years, and he had already passed the sad age: "Have you been to Jiuxuanmen?"

"Not yet. Yang Feng said lightly: "I will stay with you for a night today, and tomorrow I will leave for the south to see those senior brothers in the master's sect." I don't know how many more. ”

"Anyway, Senior Brother Murong, you will definitely be able to see it. An Ziyu raised his eyebrows, changed his words, and asked, "By the way, before you leave, I want to solve the doubts in my heart for many years." ”

"Tell me, whatever you want to know, my brother will tell you. In Yang Feng's eyes, although An Ziyu is now a great master of martial arts, he is still the hairy boy who did nothing more back then.

"Hey. An Ziyu felt a warm current in his heart: "What I want to ask is, after the world was decided, you were elected to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, why did you only serve for ten years? ”

Yang Feng sighed lightly and said, "The situation back then was complicated, and it wasn't as simple as you thought. I, the leader of the martial arts alliance, was actually pushed out by the imperial court, and the head of Xuanqing was also the person behind the scenes. Only when I, a young man, am the leader of the martial arts alliance, can the imperial court let the martial arts of the rivers and lakes rest with peace of mind. In fact, for this martial arts, the leader of the martial arts alliance is redundant, people's hearts are not so easy to unite and submit, temples and rivers and lakes are originally two worlds, if both sides have to impose some of their own things on each other, they will only lose in the end. ”

"During these 10 years, I have actually been like a person in prison. Although my body is free, but I can't disappear in front of the eyes of the world for a moment, I want to let them know my whereabouts at all times, only in this way can the Jianghu martial arts be cultivated, and the court can rest assured. ”

After hearing this, An Ziyu was puzzled: "It seems that you have always been suspicious of the imperial court. But now it's good, the martial arts of the Aobei Kingdom have grown, and the sword god Tuoba Rui has become their general, which has disturbed the peace of the entire Saibei military camp. The imperial court is now also aware of the importance of those of us who practice martial arts, and it is also an opportunity for the entire Jianghu martial arts. ”

Yang Feng looked up at the sky and said: "Maybe, now that the imperial court and the martial arts are both enemies, there will be less tragedies of cannibalism." However, although you and I are both in this era, we are both outdated people, and I finally understand a little bit of the reason why the Xuanqing Sect chose to retreat at a critical juncture. ”

"yes, I get it, too. An Ziyu said: "This world has always been the world of young people. Young people always have to go through something to grow. ”

"That's why I say, sometimes you don't have to be too strong. We are all this old, and it doesn't matter if the previous glory and disgrace rise and fall. The rankings on the list of bullshit heroes are just false names. ”

"You don't understand that. If I hadn't been able to make the list, there would be many emerging sects in the northern martial arts, all of which were eyeing the position of the boss, otherwise my Divine Sword Sect would have relied solely on the support of the imperial court, how could I have been able to command the heroes with full confidence? Unfortunately, after the generation of my master's sword saint Xiao Lang, it may be that the luck of the sect has really run out. In the past few decades, there have been no outstanding people among the younger generations who have been trained, which is a big concern of my Divine Sword Sect. ”

"This kind of thing can only depend on chance. Yang Feng looked at An Ziyu and said with a smile: "The predecessors planted trees, the descendants took advantage of the shade, and everything followed fate, which is also the beginning of the Dao heart." ”
