One man and one spirit stood facing each other. The man folded his arms coldly and arrogantly, while Li Qingchen looked at the man blankly.

"You've gone too far and hurt my heart. Li Qingchen stayed for a while, and then said with a smile.

"Hmph. The man snorted coldly and ignored it.

"Uncle Dust Washing Sword, I said that your temper is too bad, I just said a few more words. Li Qingchen took two steps towards the man and said.

"Also, what's your name, you can't change your name to the Dust Washing Sword. ”

"Can I touch your sword spirit body?"

"Also, how long have you been in this sword?"

"You...... Shut up!" the man yelled uncontrollably, his face full of anger.

"Hehe, I'm finally willing to speak. Li Qingchen said with a smile.

"So I said you're annoying, can't you be quiet for a while?" The man was very irritable, why did the owner of the sword talk so much this time, and he was noisy.

"It's impossible for you to silence me unless you answer my previous question. Li Qingchen simply played a scoundrel.

"You!"

"Let's go inside, and when we get to the place, I'll tell you. After a long while, the man regained his cold and arrogant expression and said. Li Qingchen nodded and agreed. The man walked in front, Li Qingchen followed behind, and walked unhurriedly. After walking for about half an hour, Li Qingchen felt that the heat around him gradually disappeared, replaced by a cool breath.

"Here it is. The man said coldly.

"Is there anything special about this place besides being cool? Li Qingchen asked. He watched as the man pursed his lips and did not speak. It was instantly understood that there was no answer to this question.

"Okay, I won't ask, you can answer the question I asked earlier. "Li Qingchen saw the sword spirit for the first time in his life, and he met such an arrogant sword spirit, which brought great grievances to his heart, and the sword spirit in the book obeyed the words of the master, which was a lie......

The man sat down slowly, glanced at Li Qingchen with the rest of his eyes, and said, "You sit down, otherwise you won't be able to see anything I said." When Li Qingchen heard this, he hurriedly sat down.

"My real name is Ji Yao, and I am a prince...... Speaking of this, Ji Yao turned his head to look at Li Qingchen, Li Qingchen hurriedly covered his mouth that was about to ask, and motioned for Ji Yao to continue, he would never interject.

"I've actually been dead for more than four thousand years, and I've been in this sword for too long to remember. Three thousand years ago, because I was young and vigorous, I didn't want to be bound, and I took my Ah Li, so I left the Buzhou Chen Palace, and left the place of expulsion......" A trace of tenderness appeared on Ji Yao's face, and his voice gradually eased: "We walked along the way, walked through the towns of the world, walked through the barren mountains, walked through the Qingxi Waterfall, very free and happy, I remember at that time, Ah Li said to me, she is willing to accompany me like this for the rest of her life, even if I don't return to the land of expulsion to inherit the throne." Ah Li, she is a good woman, the kindest and most beautiful woman I have ever seen in the world. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Yao suddenly became excited: "However, the good times did not last long, one day we passed by the swamp and found a small crack hanging in the air, out of curiosity, I pulled my Ah away to take a closer look. At first, some red breath continued to emerge from the crack, which made me smell a lot more powerful, and we stayed there for a few days. During this period, my cultivation realm actually broke through to the realm of leaving the phoenix, which made Ah Li and I excited, thinking that we had encountered the qi of the phoenix and received the grace of the phoenix. ”

"But, we were wrong, we were wrong. Ji Yao's expression became hideous: "Later, I learned that it was not the qi of the phoenix at all, it was the precursor of the expansion of the rift of the demon race! That night, Ah Li and I were sleeping soundly, and suddenly felt that the swamp was shaking abnormally, as if it was the sound of various beasts running away, and we hurried up to find out." But it was too late...... Many beast spirits roared and were sucked into the rift, letting out a terrible wail, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and running on the ground, unable to escape the devouring of this monster rift. I was no exception, I stood not far from the rift, and I could feel its strong suction and tearing, as if it was about to crush my body......"

Speaking of this, Ji Yao stopped, his eyes were sad, his lips moved slightly, but he couldn't say a word. Li Qingchen reached out and patted Ji Yao, but found that his palm passed through him.

"Well, sure enough, the sword spirit is just a spirit, not like a human flesh and blood. Li Qingchen said in his heart.

After a long while, Li Qingchen slowly asked, "What happened later, how did you become a sword spirit?"

Ji Yao instantly turned his grim face and smiled sadly: "Later, in order to save me, my Ah Li was sucked into that damn rift, and because of my constant resistance and the magic weapon left by Ah Li, I was lucky enough to save my soul, leaving a wisp of remnant soul in the world." ”

"Soul, soul hasn't been sucked into that rift?" Li Qingchen said in surprise.

Ji Yao shook his head, and he said, "It shouldn't be because of the soul, but Ah Li's magic weapon, Taiyi Mirror." ”

"What are you talking about?Taiyi Mirror?Is it the Taiyi Mirror that protects the soul of Yuan Miao Dao?" Li Qingchen exclaimed.

"Yes, later, in order to suppress my evil nature, Yuan Miao Dao Chang sent me to the Seven Star Sword, which is now the Dust Washing Sword, and brought the Taiyi Mirror with him, and later he was seriously injured and died, so he saved a wisp of soul. It should be in your hands now......" Ji Yao said slowly, as if he had thought of something, and he added, "You...... Can you let me see it again?"

"This ...... To tell the truth, Taiyi Mirror flew away by himself when Yuan Miao Dao Chang gave me the exercises, and I don't know where it is?" Li Qingchen scratched his head, a little embarrassed, he could see Ji Yao's desire to see Taiyi Mirror, maybe he also wanted to see things and think about people.

"What?!flew away?" Ji Yao exclaimed, he stood up with a "swoop", stepped forward, and asked eagerly, "You didn't lie to me, did you, did you really fly away?"

"I, Li Qingchen, swear, I will never lie to you, otherwise the five thunders will hit the top. Li Qingchen said.

"Flew away, flew away...... My Ah Li, woo woo ......" Ji Yao muttered, and for a while he cried bitterly.

Li Qingchen watched this scene quietly, for some reason, he suddenly felt that this sword spirit did not make him feel so wronged, after all, Ji Yao used to be a prince, and his experience was so miserable, the person he liked was sucked away by the rift of the demon race, and he had to live in the dust washing sword for a thousand years. Li Qingchen felt that there was no more miserable person in this world than Ji Yao, no, a more miserable spirit.

Just let him cry quietly for a while, alas, how did he suddenly find that there are so many hard-working people in this world? Li Qingchen said in his heart.

After about a quarter of an hour, Ji Yao said slowly: "This is the deepest part of the Sword Pavilion, and it is also the place where the head of Yuan Miao told me to bring you. ”

"Is there anything special about this? Daoist Yuan Miao must order you to bring me here?" Li Qingchen wondered. He looked around, and there was not even a trace of grass around him, except for the stone wall.

"I don't know, the head of Yuan Miao just ordered me, if you call me out on Qianqing Mountain, you must take you to the Sword Pavilion. Ji Yao said.

"What kind of sword array or anything like this Sword Pavilion has?" asked Li Qingchen.

"There is no sword array, but there is a place in the Sword Pavilion where Master Yuan Miao often meditates. Ji Yao replied.

"Where?" asked Li Qingchen.

"There. Ji Yao pointed, Li Qingchen looked in the direction he was pointing and found that there was a groove in the stone wall.

"It should be there, Ji Yao, can you send me up?" There were smooth stone walls all around, and Li Qingchen had no choice but to ask Ji Yao, who was the dust washing sword.

"I ...... How can I send you up, I'm just a sword spirit, if you want to go up, you can only go up. Ji Yao paused and replied.

"Edgeworth, I don't know anything other than to get you out of a world right now. How can I resist the sword......" Li Qingchen said depressedly, if he could resist the sword, would he still need to ask this crying sword spirit?

"It's good if you learn it, I've heard Yuan Miao Daoist talk about swordsmanship, it seems to be very simple. Ji Yao said.

"It's simple, it's just that people who have cultivated are said to be simple, and those like me who haven't started yet, it's as difficult as climbing to the sky!" Li Qingchen retorted angrily, this is really a shame when you stand and talk.

Ji Yao groaned slightly, and after a while, he said: "Otherwise, you go back and get the "Imperial Spirit True Formula", take it to the Sword Pavilion here, and I will teach you the sword technique." ”

"Is this true?" Li Qingchen's eyes lit up, if Ji Yao could teach himself, then he would learn this "Imperial Spirit True Technique" much faster.

"Of course, since I agreed, I will not go back. While speaking, Ji Yao became cold and arrogant again, and Li Qingchen didn't care about him, just as he was putting on the prince's shelf.

"Then I'm out, and you're waiting for me here. Li Qingchen took a step back and walked back, Ji Yao watched him leave, and muttered: "Sure enough, it's the same as what Yuan Miao's benefactor said, this kid is too easy to deceive." It's just that why did Yuan Miao's benefactor let him come to this Sword Pavilion? There's nothing special here......"

Li Qingchen returned along the same path, and the closer he got to the entrance of the cave, the more he felt the scorching heat.

"Strange, how do you feel hotter than when you came in before. Li Qingchen took off his coat in wonder.

"Hey, what is that, I didn't seem to notice when I came in. Li Qingchen dragged his clothes, and inadvertently, he saw a maroon cobblestone on the side of the road in the cave, he stepped forward, picked it up, and put it in his arms.

"I have to hurry up and get the "Imperial Spirit True Technique", Daoist Yuan Miao may have left me something useful this time......" Li Qingchen quickened his pace and hurried to the entrance of the cave.

When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, Li Qingchen took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and carefully reached out to touch the stone wall, feeling that his palm was not in it, and he slowly walked into the stone wall.

After entering the inner hall, Li Qingchen took the "Imperial Spirit True Formula", took a few copies at random on the ground, put away the scabbard of the dust-washing sword, and prepared to return to the Sword Pavilion. At this time, he heard his mother Mo Ru's voice sound: "Qingchen, Qingchen ......"

Li Qingchen hurriedly sat on the ground, pretending to be concentrated, opened a book in his hand, and read some words.
