Early morning.

In a small cave on the side of the Broken Sword Cliff, Meng Yixiao was lying on the bed on all fours, sleeping soundly. The little girl was brought here by the elders of the Sword Pavilion since she left Luoyang Peak, and the little girl specially selected a cave located in the belly of the cliff, because there was an identical empty cave next to it, and it was estimated that it was specially reserved for whom.

Several birdsong could be heard in the forest in the distance.

The little girl suddenly jumped up from the bed, full of energy, trotted to the door and gently pushed open the stone door.

The heavy rain has passed, and the sun in the mountains is shining obliquely,

The little girl stretched and said, "It's so comfortable... Hey, Lu Shen!?"

Meng Yixiao's eyes widened and she looked at the young man standing in front of the stone gate in surprise.

The boy's face was slightly pale and wet, and there were even drops of rain on his hair dripping to the ground, looking very embarrassed, but his back was always so straight, like a sword.

Lu Shen glanced at him without speaking, stood up and walked towards the cave.

I haven't seen her for a few months, and Meng Yixiao is a little happy and a little confused, because she keenly feels that the latter's mood doesn't seem to be good, which is really an interesting discovery for her, who has been used to Lu Shen's plain appearance for two years.

Lu Shen walked into the cave, sat on a chair and poured a cup of tea.

Meng Yixiao trotted over to the boy and squatted down and began to ask questions like a curious baby.

"How do you know I'm here. ”

"Breath. ”

"You don't look like you're happy. ”

"It's fine. ”

"When did you come. ”

"Last night. ”

"Why don't you find a place to stay. ”

"Nope. ”

Mengyixiao tilted her head, always feeling that there was something strange about Lu Shen, her eyes moved down to see the other party soaking wet, and said curiously: "Then why don't you come in, it rained so hard outside last night." ”

"Do you know that..."

Lu Shen's expression finally changed when he heard this, he pursed his lips slightly, opened his eyes and said seriously: "I knocked on the door for half an hour last night?"

"Huh?"

Meng Yixiao blinked in ignorance, and then thought hard.

She has always been very familiar when she sleeps, and last night she seemed to hear a constant knock on the door in a daze, but at that time, she thought it was dawn to start cultivating, so she subconsciously covered it

Ear.

Reminiscent of last night's majestic rain, Lu Shen almost stood outside the door and knocked on the door for a night of rain....

Meng Yixiao finally understood the look in the young man's eyes when he entered the door.

But when she thought that Lu Shen, who seemed to be able to change his face before the collapse of the sky on weekdays, would show such a resentful look, the little girl felt very happy again, and unconsciously smiled at the corners of her eyebrows and mouth.

Lu Shen raised his eyebrows, raised his voice slightly, and said angrily: "Still laughing?"

The little girl suddenly turned her head and pointed outside, pretending to be stupid and said, "Lu Shen, look! The weather outside is very good!"

......

Lu Shen crossed his knees in the cave to adjust his breath.

During this period, Mengyixiao went out a few times and brought back a cave token and a few changes of clothes.

After Lu Shen sorted out the change of clothes, he asked directly, "When will you enter the Sword Shrine?"

Lu Shen thought to himself that he couldn't wait any longer, and he had to find the ancient sword wood god as soon as possible.

There were many questions in the Sword Pavilion that he was wondering about, could it be that something had happened after the great war three thousand years ago?

"I don't know, since I came here, I've been practicing swords and meditating all day long, and all the guys who came after me came here, but no one paid attention to us. ”

Meng Yixiao suddenly said happily when she said this: "But when I came back just now, the deacon of the Sword Pavilion suddenly said that in three days, someone will be sent to teach us, and it is even possible to directly enter the sword mound to get the sword, what a coincidence, you just came here, it's like..."

Lu Shen closed his eyes and said lightly: "It's like they're deliberately waiting for me, right." ”

Three days pass in the blink of an eye for a monk.

Lu Shen still maintained a deep and simple temperament, and did not begin to walk out of the cave until three days passed.

Meng Yixiao, who was bouncing all the way, took him to the sword hall on the mountain.

Now after a period of fear, this little girl is no longer worried about her identity being exposed.

Lu Shen also silently watched this.

At the beginning, she kowtowed three fingers to Meng Yixiao on the top of the mountain, and actually attached her three wisps of origin sword qi to the little girl's body through empowerment, and used the sword source to cover the demon breath that she herself leaked out.

And how pure and majestic the Origin Sword Qi in his innate sword womb is, perhaps only he really knows it.

Following the little girl into the Yijian Hall on the top of the cliff, Lu Shen looked around, Han Shaobin, Li Yu, Zhang Yuqi. Li Shi, Wang Hai, Li Yihan....

In this generation, more than 40 outstanding disciples who stood out from the outer sect were all present.

Seeing the young man walking in slowly, the slightly noisy sound in the field suddenly stopped.

Whether it is in the eyes of the disciples of Tengyun Peak or Luoyang Peak in the past two years, Lu Shen is undoubtedly a celebrity.

"Lu Shen!"

The handsome young man Li Yihan sat in the center of the crowd, and when he saw Lu Shen, his face suddenly changed, he gritted his teeth, and stood up as if he wanted to avenge last year's brick.

Lu Shen glanced at him, and it took him a long time to remember that he seemed to have photographed this person at the beginning, so he said, "Looking for a photo?"

Hearing this, everyone in the council hall subconsciously shrunk their necks, most of them had seen or experienced the feat of the young man's bricks.

Li Yihan's face froze, obviously a little afraid, but the pride in his heart did not allow him to retreat here, and was about to say something cruel, when a withered old man in sackcloth and linen pants appeared at the door of the hall, and walked in with a stiff body.

The old man walked through the crowd unhurriedly.

The faces of the people were puzzled.

Lu Shen was slightly moved, thinking that the Sword Pavilion would attach so much importance to the cultivation of his disciples.

"I'm here to teach you what you need to know about kendo today. ”

The old man walked directly above the Yijian Hall, looked at everyone, and said with a smile in a slightly hoarse voice: "By the way, introduce yourself, the old man's name is Gu Luo. ”

As soon as the words fell, the disciples in the hall all looked at each other.

Of course, they all know the name, even thunderously.

Gu Luo, the master of the North Pavilion, one of the four most powerful figures in the entire Sword Pavilion, was a great sword cultivator who was famous throughout the world when he was young, and even rumored to be the senior brother of the head of the family.

Let such a big man personally explain the way of the sword, for a while, many people were excited, thinking that the Sword Pavilion really attached great importance to them.

"The Sword Pavilion has been inherited for more than three thousand years, and it is respected as one of the seven holy places in the Shenzhou Continent, and the most basic and important thing is a sword character. ”

"I know that your mind is in the sword mound at this time, hoping to get an ancient sword to accompany you. ”

"But you have to understand that reaching the mortal realm is only the beginning. ”

"Even if you can be recognized by the ancient sword, it can only mean that you have a good hope for your kendo career. ”

The old man sat on the big chair in the center of the council hall, his tone was neither fast nor slow, he was calm and calm, and his expression was casual, more like a small talk.

But the disciples in the audience didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, they all held their breath, unwilling to leave the slightest bad impression on this old man, maybe when the old man in front of him would become his kendo master.

Even Li Yihan, who is proud to the bone on weekdays, and Meng Yixiao, who is lively by nature, are also focused and serious.

Only Lu Shen looked out the window and wandered thousands of miles.

"Ancient years ago, the supreme sword cultivators fought against the wild demons and the evil spirits of the demon domain, and finally obtained the Great Dao with the sword, and created the level of swordsmanship, which has been famous for centuries. ”

"My Sword Pavilion Sword Dao is now the first avenue of the Tianhai Continent, and at the same time, it is listed as one of the seven holy places in the continent. ”

"Sword cultivation starts from the Qi Cultivation Realm, and then ascends to the Mortal Dust Realm, the Mud Pill Realm, the Dust Realm, the Boundless Realm, the Skybreaking Realm, and the Holy Mirror. ”

"Mud Pill Realm, as the name suggests, smelts spiritual power into mud pills in the dantian, and then it can be endlessly condensed into a spiritual fetus. ”

"Out of the dust realm, reshape the body, eliminate all mundane impurities, out of the dust realm is also known as the realm of immortals, the longevity of those who set foot in this realm can increase slightly, the specific varies from person to person. ”

"No distance, eight words, a thousand miles of swords, a flick of a finger to kill. ”

"Of course, there is also the supreme realm that only the legend hopes to step into, and it is too far away from you to go into details. ”

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, you just need to know that taking the sword is only the beginning, remember, you must not be ambitious, let alone complacent, stop moving. If you fail, don't be discouraged, the path of cultivation is like a sea of suffering, the sea of suffering is endless, and the future will be long, remember?"

The old man's words were not heavy, but they seemed to ring in everyone's hearts at the same time, like a bell.

All the disciples looked dignified, and said in unison: "Remember it in your heart!"

Meng Yixiao tugged at Lu Shen's sleeve and whispered, "What are the last two realms?"

Lu Shen subconsciously said, "Sword Immortal, Emperor." ”

The little girl thought for a while and asked, "What realm is that old Uncle Guluo?" ”

Lu Shen glanced at the old man on the stage and said, "It's vaguely.... Entered the Holy Realm, right? ”

"That's amazing. ”

Mengyi replied and turned his head, not looking surprised at all that Lu Shen knew about it.

Or in the little girl's heart, this was originally a strange thing, but the object was Lu Shen, so it was not strange.

The old man on the stage glanced around, and suddenly smiled: "Of course, taking the sword is also very important, everything is difficult at the beginning, so after a month, the Sword Pavilion made an exception to make an early trip to the sword shrine, and you must do your best." ”

Hearing the old man say the long-awaited news, a loud and excited voice finally sounded in the crowd.

For the young man at this time, it is really the most attractive thing to get a psychic ancient sword.

Or Gu Luo's approachability, all the disciples let go of their fears and began to ask some cultivation questions, and the old man answered them one by one, without the slightest impatience.

It wasn't until later that the disciples looked at the old man and couldn't hide their admiration, and they were about to be in a posture of not entering the North Pavilion.

After two or three hours, the curtain finally came to an end.

The old man stood up from the crowd and walked somewhere.

Facing everyone's surprised eyes, Gu Luo came to Lu Shen's body.

Actually, I'm here mainly for you. ”

The old man continued: "What I said at the beginning remains the same, if you are willing after the trip to the Sword Shrine, you can come to my North Pavilion to practice." ”

Lu Shen nodded slightly and said, "I'll think about it." “

"Okay, I'm also looking forward to you taking out He Jian from the sword shrine. ”

The old man smiled and patted the boy on the shoulder, then walked out the door.

Lu Shen yawned and then stood up, with a "finally over" expression on his face, and walked out of the room with Mengyixiao.

Only a group of stunned beginner disciples were left in the Sword Hall.
