Whether it is the way of the sword or the way of heaven, it seems to be a ruthless thing, Xiao Yunchuan originally thought that characters like Xiao Yichen must be extremely obsessed with swords, and will not be nostalgic for anything other than swords, but he didn't expect this to be far different from what he expected.

Listening to Xiao Yichen's words, Xiao Yunchuan's heart was very shocked, and he said: "Senior, I have something to ask. ”

Xiao Yichen faced this young man who met for the first time, perhaps because of the closeness in his heart, and said very kindly: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Xiao Yunchuan asked: "If one day, the world is peaceful and the sword in your hand must give up one thing, what will you give up?"

Xiao Yichen replied without the slightest hesitation: "Naturally, it is the sword in my hand." ”

Xiao Yichen asked again: "Why did the seniors not hesitate to make such a decisive decision?"

"Because that's what I have in mind. Xiao Yichen's eyes looked forward, as if he had passed through this house, through the Liuyun Pavilion, through the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, and looked at the vast beings beyond the sea of clouds.

"After all, the sword in my hand is just a sword in my hand, and the weight of the people in the world is much heavier than the three-foot Qingfeng in my hand. ”

Xiao Yichen retracted his eyes and asked, "If you were faced with that situation and you had to give up the most important thing, what decision would you make?"

"I should choose what is most important to me rather than the peace of the world...... Disappointed the seniors. Xiao Yunchuan lowered his head and said.

The sun shone into the house, Xiao Yichen's side face was imprinted with a touch of light, and he smiled faintly: "This is human nature, I am not disappointed, on the contrary, I am very happy that you can make a choice." ”

Xiao Yunchuan asked, "Why did the seniors say that?"

Xiao Yichen said: "The interpreter of Qinglian Temple once encountered a problem, someone asked him that killing one person can save a hundred people, and asked him if he would kill him. The master of interpretation felt that any life should be respected and cherished, so he did not want to make a decision. ”

"But as far as I am concerned, hundreds of people died because of him, and my generation of sword cultivators should implement the sword path in their hearts and adhere to the original intention in their hearts, so that they can cultivate consistently, instead of being timid and escaping from reality. ”

Xiao Yichen suddenly got up, and Xiao Yunchuan hurriedly stood up when he saw this.

"I'll take you somewhere. ”

Xiao Yunchuan was about to speak, but his eyes flickered, and he appeared in a quaint and old long house.

On the walls on both sides of the long house, there are many portraits of people, and at the end of this house, a stone statue of a human figure is placed.

At the front of the house, Jian Wuji was following behind a burly old man.

Xiao Yunchuan asked, "Senior, where is this?"

"This is the ancestral hall of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect. Xiao Yichen said slowly: "From now on, then I will be a master and apprentice." ”

"Senior, I'm ......"

Xiao Yichen interrupted Xiao Yichen's words and said with a smile: "Call the master." ”

Xiao Yunchuan looked at the gentle middle-aged man with blank eyes, "Master." ”

Xiao Yichen looked at the stone statue at the end of the Patriarch Hall, beckoned to Xiao Yunchuan and said, "I'll take you to meet her......"

As the distance got closer and closer, Xiao Yunchuan gradually saw the face of the stone statue clearly.

This stone statue is carved with a lifelike old woman, this old woman has a wrinkled face, her face is like a yaksha, very ugly and terrifying, the old woman has a black mark on the left side of her face, it seems to be a birthmark or something, and between the old woman's eyebrows, there is a third eye.

After the two walked in, Xiao Yichen looked at the stone statue gently, and he introduced Xiao Yunchuan: "She is my master Skullcap, that is, your ancestor, when I first met her, she once said a word, and today I want to convey this sentence to you." ”

Xiao Yunchuan asked, "What words?"

"All the chance encounters in the world are fateful relief. ”

Xiao Yichen pointed to the stone statue of skullcap, "Just like when she met me." ”

Xiao Yichen withdrew his hand and looked at Xiao Yunchuan, "I met you again today." ”

"You and I are destined to be master and apprentice. ”

When Xiao Yunchuan heard this, he kowtowed with emotion: "The master is above, and he will be worshiped by the apprentice." ”

Facing Xiao Yunchuan's apprenticeship, this Liuyun Sword God accepted it calmly.

After Xiao Yunchuan got up, Xiao Yichen said: "The characters on the portraits on both sides are the deceased pavilion masters of our Nine Heavens Sword Sect, as well as their own disciples, they have many stories and deeds, but what I want to tell you the most is the story of your ancestor. ”

Xiao Yichen's eyes fell into memory, "As you can see, your ancestor's appearance is ugly, because of the red birthmark on her face and the unusual third eye, so she was abandoned by her parents not long after she was born. But fortunately, she was picked up by a medicine farmer surnamed 'Huang' and brought her home, and the medicine farmer did not dislike her terrible appearance and named her Skullcap. ”

Xiao Yichen sighed in a tone of voice: "Although your ancestor is ugly, but she is a gentle and kind old man, she has a bumpy life in her life, because of her terrible appearance, she is everywhere to be looked at, difficult and excluded, but even so, she still has not given up the greatest kindness to all things in the world. ”

When Xiao Yichen said this, his tone became low, "When your ancestor was eighteen years old, the medicine farmer who took care of her to grow up died, and the medicine farmer's relatives may have long since stopped seeing her and immediately expelled her from the village......;

"As fate would have it, she met with a powerful monk, although the powerful monk did not accept her as an apprentice, but passed on her the Nine Moves Sword Style, and the foundation of our Nine Heavens Sword Sect originated from the Nine Moves Sword Style. But your ancestor was gifted, and then from the Nine Moves Sword Style, he realized thousands of fixed forms. ”

"After that great monk taught your ancestor the Nine Moves Sword Style, it didn't take long for him to leave, leaving your ancestor alone. At that time, there were constant wars in the world, and your ancestor was forced to save himself several times out of desperation, but because of this, his nine-move sword style was spied on, so some people spread rumors everywhere, saying that she was the reincarnation of the demon, that she had peerless swordsmanship, and that her third eye was the pupil of the heavenly demon. ”

Xiao Yichen's tone sneered: "But these groundless false rumors, those monks who claim to be righteous, and those evil monks with evil intentions, have begun to hunt down and kill your ancestor, but no matter how she hides, she will eventually be found." ”

"It wasn't until much later that your ancestor learned that she was betrayed by someone she liked. The sweetheart of your ancestor actually didn't like her at all, and that person approached her because of her nine-move sword style. ”

"The great evil in the world!"

Although Xiao Yichen's tone was flat, his right hand was clenched, as if he was angry, "Except for that medicine farmer, everyone in this world is full of malice towards her, she actually just wants to live......"

Feeling Xiao Yichen's anger, Xiao Yunchuan changed the topic and said, "What happened to the patriarch?

Xiao Yichen laughed and said: "My master! Since then, she has not continued to hide, but has faced the monks of both good and evil; ”

Xiao Yunchuan was puzzled: "The ancestor is so strong, why didn't he strike early, but hide everywhere?"

Xiao Yichen replied helplessly: "What about her...... Just a man with no courage and a cowardly character......"

"No!"

"Master, she's not!"

The person who spoke was the burly old man standing not far away.

This burly old man is Xiao Yichen's second senior brother, Master Kunjun.

Venerable Kun Jun looked at the stone statue of Skullcap with soft eyes, "I have a different perception of the master than you, I think the master has a heart that is firmer and braver than the gods and demons, otherwise she has experienced so much malice, how could she still be so kind and gentle." ”
