Zhu Xin took Ming Fan to the ancient cave in the back mountain to worship the "Dao Sign", and the four elders had already arrived at this time.

The first to speak was still the Great Elder, "How is Ming Fan, is he resting?"

"Hmm. Ming Fan nodded and replied.

"That's good, in fact, I asked you to come here, because I want to ask you for something. The Grand Elder chuckled.

"Come with us. With that, he and everyone took Ming Fan into the cave.

The ancient cave is not big, and Ming Fan has also entered a cave or something like this when he used to collect medicine, and it is generally overgrown with moss, weeds and some rocks.

However, this cave does not, and it seems that it should be cleaned regularly.

The ancient cave is exhausted, and there is an immortal sword standing quietly,

"Signs"

The Great Elder looked at Ming Fan and asked, "How did you see this sword, do you feel anything?"

Ming Fan stared at the sword tightly and looked at it for a long time,

Then he shook his head to the Great Elder and said, "No." ”

The crowd "..........."

The Fourth Elder whispered to the Second Elder and the Third Elder, "The first step of the eldest brother's plan is not very smooth. ”

Normally, his plan didn't succeed a few times. The second elder said, "Do you remember the time when we were young, that is, the eldest brother planned to let us go to the old Zheng Tou in the village to steal ....... from his field."

"Uh-huh!" the Great Elder coughed, and glared at the two elders and the three of them, and the three of them stopped talking, smiling and waving their hands to the Great Elder, meaning that you continue, and we will watch quietly.

The Great Elder then asked Ming Fan, "Little guy, can I ask you something?"

"What's the matter? Grand Elder. "Just now, Zhu Xin had already informed Ming Fan of the people and things in the Xuanqing Gate, so he knew that the old man in front of him was the Great Elder who was in charge of the general affairs of the Gate.

"What is the origin of the bead that you have brought with you?"

"This bead was placed on me when I was born. So Ming Fan told everyone about his life experience.

"I see. ”

Zhu Xin said softly, "Then you have had a hard time in the past few years." ”

Ming Fan replied with a wry smile, "Fortunately, my grandfather was really sad when he just died, but as time passed, I got used to it, and not everyone in the village had a bad attitude towards me, such as Uncle Minglie and Auntie." It's just ......" Thinking of Minglie and his wife, Mingfan's heart couldn't help but grieve.

Why do you always leave your side?

The four elders expressed their empathy for Ming Fan's background and the bullying he received on weekdays, because the four of them were also orphans and had also been treated coldly by others.

The Great Elder knew that the words just now had calmed Ming Fan's heart a little, and he began to mourn again, so he changed the topic.

"In this way, Ming Fan, you go and try to pull out that sword and take a look. The Great Elder pointed his finger at the "Dao Sign."

This surprised Ming Fan, "Ahh Draw your sword?"

The Grand Elder replied in the affirmative, "That's right, it's you. ”

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The "Dao Zheng" sword has already recognized its master, and no one can pull it out except for Xuanyang Zhenren.

However, the "Dao Sign" now resonates with Na Lingzhu, and Na Lingzhu was placed on Ming Fan when he was born, if Ming Fan can pull out the "Dao Sign", it means that he is related to the master Xuanyang Zhenren.

Besides, even if Ming Fan can't pull it out, there is no loss, can he still break the sword?

"Go ahead, Mingfan. ”

"Well, well. Ming Fan came to the sword platform with a little trepidation, held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and pulled it out hard.

Boom!

Choke!

When!

Bang is the sound that the sword makes when it is first drawn. Ming Fan was surprised in his heart, because when he first drew the sword, he found that the sword was very heavy, and he should not be able to pull it out with his strength, but the next second, he felt that the sword had become lighter.

It was the sound of the sword being pulled halfway through, and at the same time, the blade of the sword emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the ancient cave as if it were day, so everyone did not notice that the Na Lingzhu in Ming Fan's arms was slowly absorbing the aura on the sword.

When!

It's when the sword is drawn.

Broken.....

Originally, when they saw Ming Fan pull out the sword, everyone was overjoyed, but when they saw that the sword was broken, everyone seemed to be petrified.

Mingfan "........."

Zhu Xin "........."

Four Elders ".........."

"I'm beep-beep-" After a few seconds of stunned chickens, several elders reacted, and the first to say a bunch of river crab words was the second elder.

Ming Fan also turned his head to everyone and said blankly, "No... I'm sorry. ”

The three elders' eyes widened, as if they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.

The one with the most exaggerated reaction was the Great Elder.

I saw him come to the broken "Dao Sign", knelt down again and again, and said in his mouth, "Sin, sin! Master, it's a disciple who is not good, let your old man's sword be tossed and broken by the bear child, rest assured, I will take this unlucky child to sacrifice the sword now." After speaking, he turned his head and stared at Ming Fan "fiercely".

"Hey!!, he meowed that you asked me to pull it out, okay, now the sword is broken, blame me!"

Only the four elders at the scene were quite calm, he came to Ming Fan's side, took the "Dao Sign" from his hand, and took half of the sword blade that fell to the ground, and took it in his hand to observe, "This is .....?"

Xuanqing Gate, main hall

After the four elders carefully looked at the broken "Dao Signs", they came to a conclusion, "It should be the disappearance of the aura in the sword that caused the master's sword to break." ”

The cultivators of the Lingzhou Continent usually infuse the true spirit qi cultivated in their own bodies into their blades, first, by infusing the true spirit qi to reduce the wear and tear of the weapon in battle, that is, to increase the durability of the weapon in disguise.

Second, through this method, the weapon can be more powerful, and at the same time, it can also make the weapon more handy when used.

Of course, this method also has its drawbacks, infusing the true spirit qi into the blade means that oneself and the blade have become one to a certain extent, when the weapon is seriously damaged, the cultivator himself will also be injured to a certain extent, as for how serious the injury will be, it depends on the degree of integration between the cultivator itself and the weapon.

The Third Elder wondered, "Strange, how did the aura in the 'Dao Sign' disappear for no reason?"

The fourth elder thought for a moment and said in an uncertain tone, "It may be that when Ming Fan pulled out the sword just now, the spiritual energy was dispersed, so it caused the sword to break." ”

The Great Elder looked at the "Dao Sign" that had been broken in two, and said, "This is the only thing left by the Master. ”

"Big brother, what do you want?" the second elder looked at the look on the eldest elder's face, and also put away his usual playful attitude.

"Do you remember the origin of this 'Dao sign'?" the Great Elder asked the crowd rhetorically.

"I see. As the top student among the four elders, as soon as the Great Elder finished his last sentence, the four elders knew what he meant.

"What do you mean?" As the scumbag of the four, the second elder didn't understand it at all.

The Fourth Elder explained, "This 'Dao Sign' was a jade that Master found by chance when he traveled to the Cave Heaven Purple Martial Realm, and then forged it. ”

Second Elder" ...... So?" Apparently he still doesn't get it.

The fourth elder continued to say helplessly, "So, now that the sword is broken, then please ask the forger who forged this sword for Shizun in the first place, and let him see if it can be repaired." ”

"Oh, that's right. At this time, the second elder finally understood what the great elder meant, and said, "I remember that this sword was made by Cangming's predecessor for the master. ”

"That's right, so I decided to go and find Cangming Senior to see if he could find a way to reforge the 'Dao Sign'. The Great Elder said.

"Big brother, you want to go in person?" the second elder said in surprise.

Not only the second elder, except for Ming Fan, the rest of the people present were all surprised, as the only one of the four elders who was more calm and dignified, he was in charge of almost everything in the door, so the great elder rarely left the door.

"Don't worry, I'll try to get back as fast as I can, it won't take too long. The Great Elder chuckled, and then said, "Fourth Brother, you are also responsible for improving the Mountain Protection Array. Third brother, Xiao'er will come back soon after going down the mountain to practice, and you have to help him improve his cultivation. As for the second brother, the time to punish you for your grounding has not yet arrived, so you will stay in the door for me. ”

The second elder rubbed his hands together and said with a "twisted" expression, "Big brother~~~ You have a lot of adults, cancel my grounding, okay, dead ghost~~"

"Poof——! "The third elder was drinking tea, and he was almost choked to death by the second elder.

Fortunately, the four elders had the foresight to close their eyes in advance, block their ears, and leave them clean.

"Fuck off!" shouted the Great Elder, "Think about the trouble you made last time you went down the mountain, if you castrate yourself, I will consider lifting the grounding!"

"Didn't I just go down the mountain and dance with some old ladies and connect with each other. The second elder muttered, "Big brother, you're making too much of a fuss. ”

"I'm making a big fuss? Are you talking about harassment?" the Great Elder didn't have a good breath, "Also, during the time I'm out, you'll be in charge of handling the affairs of the door. ”

"Huh?!" the Second Elder shouted bitterly.

"Ah, it's useless, it's decided. After speaking, he ignored the second elder.

The four of them have been together for more than a hundred years, and they are very clear about each other's personalities.

The three elders are like fire, warlike and strong, it is obviously inappropriate for him to be in charge of sect affairs, and he himself is not willing to take care of these things.

Although the fourth elder has a gentle personality, he is a nerd, so he can't be allowed to manage the sect, so only the second elder can handle the affairs of the sect when the great elder leaves the sect.

Although sometimes the second elder often does something ridiculous, at critical moments, the second elder is very reliable.

"Alas, second brother, you should also take care of yourself, don't forget that you were the most talented of the four of us at the beginning, but now your cultivation has not been good for long. The Great Elder sighed and said worriedly.

"Well, I see, big brother. The second elder replied with a slight shame on his face.

The Great Elder continued, "In addition, this time I went to find Cangming Senior to cultivate the sword, and I will also take Ming Fan with me." ”

Ming Fan was surprised, "Ah, why should I follow?"

The Great Elder's eyes narrowed, "What's the matter, the sword was broken, and you don't want to contribute?"

"Didn't the Fourth Elder say that the reason for the sword break has nothing to do with me. Ming Fan said innocently.

The Great Elder smiled slightly and showed what he thought was kind, but in Ming Fan's eyes, it was a sinister smile, "Hehe, sword.... Did you pull it out?"

"You're on me, aren't you? Ming Fan said helplessly.

"You can choose to go sword training with me, or you can choose to spend money to compensate us, and of course, you can also work here to pay off your debts. At this time, the Great Elder was alive and well, like an old bustard in a green building.

"Okay..... I'll go with you. ”

At this time, if you use an idiom to describe Ming Fan's mood, I think it is very appropriate to cry without tears.
