Just when Bu Mingming and Gu Yuanzhi had just left the martial arts arena and ran down the mountain, Lin Zifeng and the others, who had already set off just now, had already arrived at the foot of the mountain, passed the Zongmen pontoon bridge, and came to the riverside.

Yes, in order to prevent the people participating in the sword competition from knowing the location of the hidden stake from the disciples of the Holy Sword Sect in advance, the pontoon bridge at the first level was not put away, and the pontoon bridge could only be taken.

Because the speed of Lin Zifeng, Wang Quanan and others was too fast, there were only a few dozen people who could follow them closely, and of course, there were also some masters who didn't want to show their strength too early, so they didn't compete for the lead.

Lin Zifeng floated down on a stone on the riverbank, turned around and said: "Since you have arrived at the riverside, then this first pass has already begun, and Elder Zheng made it clear that there are ten elders distributed along this bank, and each of them depends on chance." ”

At this time, a panting man said anxiously: "Senior Brother Lin, didn't you let me follow you? If someone is on the way to complete the task, someone is targeting......" As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of Zhu Zhan.

This person is Ruan Yushu, who offended Zhu Zhan in the martial arts arena, he is very scholarly when he hears the name, he is a son of a family in Chenjun, his strength is in Ruyuan Liupin, and it is not easy to keep up with the speed of Lin Zifeng.

Lin Zifeng frowned, he turned his head to look at Zhu Zhan and Zhu Yan, and said, "Brother Zhu, for my sake, can you raise your noble hand and not make a move on this benevolent brother during the sword competition?"

Zhu Zhan sneered and said, "I don't have so much spare time, wasting time with these cats and dogs." With that, he turned and headed west, obviously not wanting to say any more.

Lin Zifeng also had an unhappy look in his eyes, but he still said to Ruan Yushu: "Okay, during the sword competition, you should be in no danger, as long as you are careful, you will be fine." ”

Ruan Yushu wanted to say something, but Lin Zifeng interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Many masters have already begun to act, if you delay here any longer, I am afraid that you will miss the opportunity, how can this be what you hope for, Brother Ruan. ”

"Moreover, even if you follow me and find an elder, only one person will be able to accept the elder's task, and the other person will have to wait for the elder to leave and find him a second time, so the delay will be longer. Lin Zifeng lowered his voice, revealing a hidden rule.

"This also means that if several people find the same elder together, they will compete first, and only the winner will accept the task?" Ruan Yushu said in surprise.

Lin Zifeng nodded and acquiesced in his words.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Lin, since that's the case, then let's quickly split up and go to the elders, hoping that we can meet again in the martial arts arena. ”

Lin Zifeng hugged his fists and said: "Same wish!"

Seeing that Ruan Yushu chose a completely different direction from Zhu Zhan and Zhu Yan, Lin Zifeng also turned around and left.

The direction he chose was to deviate from the Hualong River, and unlike those who did not know the situation and searched along the river, he knew that many elders liked to disguise themselves in villages or woods to test them in other identities.

From this point, all the disciples of the Holy Sword Sect were already many steps ahead......

——

Lai Yisho walked by the river, looking at the vast and magnificent Hualong River in amazement, while wondering where the elders of the Holy Sword Sect were hiding.

His sect is called the Digging Mountain Sect, as the name suggests, it was founded by digging mountains and wells, and their cultivation method is also digging mountains and opening stones.

After many years of digging the mountain, Lai Yisho practiced brute strength, and it was not a problem to lift four or five hundred catties of iron locks with one hand.

Originally, he didn't want to participate in this sword competition, but his master said that his ability was almost complete, and then he should go to the rivers and lakes to practice, and it was best to dig a few famous mountains, so that he could carry forward the sect in the future!

Lai Yisho looked up at the majestic Tianguang Mountain, and his heart was itchy.

"There must be good things in such a mountain created by heaven and earth......

So Lai Yisho decided to participate in a sword competition first, although he didn't use a sword, but it should be similar to wielding a shovel...... When you enter the Holy Sword Sect, you will always have the opportunity to give full play to your strengths.

Moreover, I heard that there are three mountains similar to this Tianguang Mountain, which must be very good......

Lai Yisho feels that his life has found a goal and direction to fight for.

Suddenly, Lai Yisho saw an old man digging a tree pit in front of him, digging a tree pit unhurriedly, shovel after shovel, and there were some saplings next to it.

With just one glance, Lai knew that this old man was definitely pretending.

Without him, his posture and technique of wielding the shovel are completely amateur, and shoveling soil in this way is laborious and time-consuming, at most it just looks better.

As the only disciple of the Digging Mountain Sect who walked in the rivers and lakes, Lai Yisho even wanted to rush up directly and grab the shovel and do it himself.

Just when he couldn't stand it anymore and was about to step forward, a person took the lead and walked in front of the old man.

"Old man, have you seen any elders around here?"

The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and stopped his work for a while.

"What, lad, I didn't hear you, you say it again. ”

The young man was a little impatient and said, "I'm asking if you've ever seen a few old-timers like gods. ”

The old man shook his head: "Oh, I haven't seen anyone, young man, you see I'm so old, I'm so tired of planting a tree, see if you can help me......"

Before he finished speaking, the young man waved his hand, looked at the old man like a fool, turned around and left.

Before leaving, he muttered: "Old guy, just say no, delay my time here......"

Seeing the young man walking away, the old man sighed and hammered his back.

Lai Yisho couldn't get used to it, so he walked over directly.

The old man persuaded: "Young man, you should also go." I haven't seen any immortal predecessors, so I don't want to delay you...... Hey, what are you doing here?"

Lai Yishovel didn't say a word, he snatched the shovel directly from the old man's hand, and in the old man's stunned gaze, he dug the tree pit in three times and divided it by two, and then planted the saplings in the pit.

Lai Yisho looked at the work he did and nodded with satisfaction.

Because he was so engrossed, he forgot that there was an old man next to him, and he looked back embarrassedly, but felt that this old man was a little different.

The dress on his body has naturally not changed, but there is an indescribable momentum and demeanor all over his body.

The old man smiled and nodded, full of energy, his waist was straight, where was there still a little bit of old and weak appearance before.

He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Young man, you seem to be very familiar with this guy, I don't know which sect you are?"

Hearing this, Lai Yisho didn't know that the old man in front of him was one of the ten elders they were all looking for.

He hurriedly saluted and said, "The junior digs the mountain sect and has seen the elders. ”

This elder belongs to the Sword Protector Hall among the four halls of the Holy Sword, and his name is Zhang He, it should be said that Lai Yisho's luck is too good, because Zhang He himself is a relatively kind one among all the elders.

Zhang He felt that the name of this later life was very interesting, and suddenly his favorability increased a lot.

"Lai Yisho, right, my name is Zhang He, first of all, congratulations on passing the first level of the sword competition. ”
