The twenty-eight dead people were distributed in every part of the Eight Peaks, like inconspicuous nails, hoping to play a fatal role at key nodes.

Pulling these nails out of the inside of the Sword Pavilion would reduce a lot of uncertainty in the future, but the only problem was that in Lu Shen's eyes.... It's not enough.

It's like the peak master in front of him who has exhausted the spiritual sea, and he is not among the twenty-eight people, and if he thinks about it a little deeper, there are so many dark chess pieces in the Eight Peaks Shadow Hall alone, so who will be the most important four pavilions, this is what Lu Shen should care about.

The old man Zhou Yan glanced at Lu Shen and asked, "If I say that I really don't know, can you believe it?"

Lu Shen said: "Letter." ”

The old man nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "A chess piece will always be a chess piece, and for me, there is no need to know the role of other chess pieces, but there was a time when I was suspicious, and even doubted the ......"

Speaking of this, Zhou Yan suddenly shut up, shook his head freely and said: "I don't have any evidence for my own things, if I say it, maybe you also think I'm playing tricks, so I won't be disgusting you." ”

Shen Mohuang was curious: "Who?"

"Do you really want to know?" asked the old man with a smile.

Shen Mohuang frowned slightly and fell silent.

"You don't need to know, there is no point in not believing, and if you do, you will only be suspicious. One last question. ”

Lu Shen asked, "Why did you choose to agree to the Shadow Palace?" According to the records recorded in the East Pavilion, you have lived in the Ancient Cold Peak since you were a child, and you rarely go out of the mountain, and you don't have any junior blood or cause and effect in the world. ”

On top of that article, Su An actually spoke highly of this old man, and he belonged to a typical character who was a late bloomer.

Before entering the Sword Pavilion, his qualifications were mediocre, but his basic skills were extremely solid, and in the end, he surpassed those senior brothers with outstanding qualifications step by step, stepped into the Sky Breaking Realm, and became the peak master of Gu Han Peak.

Because of his young experience, his personality is quiet and tenacious, and he is the least likely to be affected by external objects.

And what Lu Shen didn't understand was that such an old man who should have nothing to worry about would be willing to go along with the Shadow Palace.

"Promise them," the old man asked softly, "is it strange?"

Lu Shen said calmly: "I have seen many people, logically speaking, they are all cultivators who are difficult to be persuaded by others, but their final choice puzzles me. ”

Zhou Yan put his hands behind his shoulders and said: "Everyone has something to care about and pay attention to, to put it simply, it is the right medicine, this truth is even understood by the secular dynasty, it is impossible for you not to understand." ”

Lu Shen turned his head and said seriously: "Then for a person like you who has no desires and no desires and is difficult to be convinced, what conditions does the Shadow Hall have?"

The old man was silent for a long time, then narrowed his eyes, and seemed to recall: "I have been an orphan since I was a child, nameless in the peak, and I can only practice swords, and then as the realm gets higher and higher, I don't know why I became the peak master, and then I sat for so many years, I have nothing to worry about in my life, and all I want is the avenue, but it's a pity that the will of heaven is like this, and the Broken Sky Realm is already the end, and the Holy Realm is hopeless from now on..."

Shen Mohuang asked, "They promised you that you could help you step into the Holy Realm?"

The old man looked at her with a smile, shook his head, and said, "The truth is here, but the words are over, and you can't say it." ”

"You are a traitor to the Sword Pavilion after all, and you can't help but say it or not. ”

Shen Mohuang said indifferently, the coercion on his body permeated the heavens and the earth, and the mountain winds on both sides seemed to stagnate, dead and silent.

With Shen Mohuang silent

As soon as Xi stepped into the Sky Breaking Realm, he was undoubtedly regarded as the top powerhouse of the younger generation in the Sword Pavilion and even in the entire world, and the coercion unique to high-ranking cultivators on his body also permeated.

Even though the other party had been in the Skybreak Realm for many years, Shen Mohuang still didn't have the slightest fear.

The old man's strand of white hair was blown up by the sword qi, but his face was surprisingly calm, and he didn't want to do it at all.

Lu Shen saw this scene and didn't say anything more.

Although he was able to use the soul searching method to scavenge out his memories, he had not used these on the human race, and more importantly, it was also a respect for a Sky-Breaking Sword Cultivator.

With the power of one person, he conquered the heavens and the earth, came out of the dust, and broke the sky, and he was already a great character.

As for the path you choose in the future, it is just a matter of following your heart.

"I'll give you a ride?" Lu Shen glanced at the sky, and then said.

The old man was a little surprised, and then smiled: "Okay." ”

........

........

The summit of Guhan Peak.

Two bamboo sticks flew out of the dense forest and stopped in front of the two of them.

"I haven't slashed with anyone for many years, but I miss it a little. ”

"With a snack, I won't spare my hands. ”

Hearing this, the old man was a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything.

It was already a very interesting thing for a junior who had no distance to say this to him, but Lu Shen's face was extraordinarily calm, as if it was a matter of course.

The old man walked forward, and his right hand casually held the bamboo strip in his hand.

Lu Shen stretched out his two fingers and lightly tapped them at the end of the bamboo strip, and the latter flew away like a sword.

With such a posture and expression, it is like an elder instructing a junior to practice swords, and it seems that he does not take the opponent in his eyes at all.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yan frowned with some dissatisfaction.

No matter how good you are, after all, you are just a disciple, is it really so unbearable for me Zhou Yan to practice swords?

The next moment.

Two bamboo strips collide in mid-air.

The old man snorted lightly, and his sword intent was vertical and horizontal, floating in all directions like catkins.

After Lu Shen's left hand was taken at will, his right hand turned into a sword finger, and with a slight shake, the bamboo strip controlled by the sword qi kept slashing towards Zhou Yan in mid-air.

Bang bang.

The two extremely fragile bamboo strips were like tough steel at the moment, intertwining and colliding with each other, without the slightest trace of breakage.

Shen Mohuang stood quietly aside, looking at this scene with great vigour.

Neither of them used the realm, but fought with the purest and simplest understanding of swordsmanship.

And one is a master of breaking the Skyclave, and the other is even Shen Mohuang is ashamed of himself, the sword fighting between the two of them, just like Wanchuan returning to the sea, returning to the basics, is extremely valuable to watch.

"How is that possible? How can you be so so?

As time passed, the sword fight between the two continued, but Zhou Yan showed a look of disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

If Lu Shen was in the Breaking Sky Realm at the moment, or killed him with extremely domineering sword qi and sword intent, then it would be impossible for Zhou Yan to show such an expression.

It was only this extremely fair pure swordsmanship battle that made him uneasy and extremely shocked.

"Is this admitting defeat?" Lu Shen asked with some regret.

Zhou Yan was silent for a while, but the fighting spirit and vitality in his eyes that had not appeared for decades became more and more vigorous, and he smiled calmly: "The ancients had clouds, and they could die at night, but today I, Zhou Yan, can open my eyes on the way of the sword before I die, so I naturally want to continue." “

Although the momentum of the two is not large, they still attract the attention of many people, several

The disciple walked up from the mountain road below, and then was stopped at the foot of the mountain by Shen Mohuang, only vaguely feeling the presence of sword intent and the sound of collision.

Half an hour.

An hour.

Three hours.

Time passes slowly.

The old man's expression was still so tenacious.

Lu Shen was still standing there, his movements steady and single, without the slightest trace of trembling.

Another sword.

Zhou Yan took out the bamboo sword in his hand and shouted, "Go!"

In mid-air, the bamboo sword slashed through a steady and fast trail, and rushed straight towards Lu Shen.

The latter was expressionless, except that the two fingers of his right hand were raised high, and then straight down.

Both horizontally and vertically are one.

Divided.

Zhou Yan's bamboo sword broke in half without any suspense, and then instantly turned into countless ash powder.

Zhou Yan was in a trance, and vaguely glanced at the bamboo strip that was inserted upside down on the ground intact, but he didn't have the slightest regret, just smiled with satisfaction: "When I was young, I heard some division commanders say that sword fighting is a unique style of sword cultivation, and I didn't think so before, but today, it's an eye-opener!"

Lu Shen just said, "Let's go." ”

In the three hours just now, the old man had already dissipated all the remaining essence and spirit.

The oil runs out and the lamp withers.

The lights go out and people die.

So.... Only to die.

"Why do you want to help me?"

"Every practitioner who dares to practice with him deserves respect. ”

"Hmm... Kind of makes sense. ”

Zhou Yan sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain, looked around, and muttered a little dazedly: "Cultivating for a lifetime, what are you trying to do in the end? It is better to marry a daughter-in-law and have a child." ”

Lu Shen thought for a while and said, "Maybe cultivation is actually just cultivation, and it has no actual meaning of existence. ”

Zhou Yan was curious: "Will it be too time-consuming?"

Lu Shen shook his head and said: "Practicing for a month is also practice, practicing for a hundred years is also practice, if you feel that it is a waste of time, you will practice less, if you are tired of it, then simply do something else, who stipulates that you must practice all the time, where in the world do not practice?"

"Where in the world is there not to practice?"

Zhou Yan lowered his head and muttered to himself, but his eyes lit up a little, and he nodded: "Where in the world is not to practice! Hahaha, what a person in the world is not to practice! ”

Lu Shen didn't speak.

The old man suddenly looked at Lu Shen seriously, and said with a smile: "Back then, the person in the Shadow Hall and I actually only said one word, the monks in the world are like ants, chasing day and night, but they can't chase the avenue, in this case, why not do you turn around and choose to become a part of the avenue." ”

Lu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly, and wanted to ask something, but the old man shook his head silently and said, "I'm already a dying person, so let me stay decent, and I'm glad to know you." ”

Lu Shen said calmly: "Let's go." ”

Zhou Yan lowered his head and closed his eyes, his hands hung weakly, and his face was smiling with satisfaction.

The last words the old man said were only a few numbers.

"I don't owe you anything. ”

That night, the majestic sword qi floated among the peaks, the old man's magnificent sword intent filled the mountains and forests, and the countless ancient sword hearts in the sword mound mountain felt it and trembled slightly.

Later generations.

Zhou Yan, the peak master of the ancient Han Peak, died in the fifty-first year of the Apocalypse.

The old man dies at the end of his life, and when he dies, he disperses the whole body to cultivate to feed the heavens and the earth, and the tablet and incense can be attributed to the incense building of the ancestral temple of the Sword Pavilion.
