At dusk, Lijia Village was still quiet as usual, a slow ox cart creaked to the entrance of the village, and the half-asleep old man was lying on the side of the car. The old cow pulling the cart seemed to have spirituality, and turned around and mooed twice, and the old man sat up slowly and looked at the village.

"It seems that that kid who is planning to make a fortune this time has really made a lot of money. The old man smiled slightly, stroked his beard, had already determined the purpose of this trip, bolted the ox cart and walked straight to the Li brothers' house.

Li Mu, who was alone at home, was cooking on the fire, and when he heard the knock on the door, he wondered, didn't Aunt Li think about going to the city to take care of the book, and I don't know who would come to visit at this time. When I opened the door, there was an old man with crane hair and a childish face standing at the door, with a wide robe and big sleeves, looking at him with a smile.

Under the afterglow of the sunset, Li Mu looked at the erratic figure of the old man, glanced at the soles of his feet, and looked at the old man with indifferent eyes, full of meaning.

"Old Dao Tiandao Peak Qingxuzi, dare to ask the little brother's name and surname?" the old man asked after reporting to his home.

"Li Yunxiao, what's the matter?" seems to be for the original agreement, and it seems that there are other considerations, Li Mu did not reveal his real name.

"The old way has no inheritance of his mastery art, and if you want to find a successor today, are you willing?" said the comer with his hands behind him.

Li Mu was silent for a long time and replied: "Wait a while, I'll pack it up and leave a book, so as not to worry my relatives and friends." After speaking, he ignored the comer, took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone prepared for Li Gui at the beginning, polished and wrote.

Qing Xuzi was not surprised that Li Mu was so refreshing, if he released the news of receiving official disciples, then I don't know how many people would rush to come to the door to apprentice, but I didn't expect this trip to be so smooth, I thought that I would have to search for a long time and there would be some twists and turns.

After a while, Li Mu had finished writing and grabbed a few things and made a small bag, and then said coldly: "Okay, let's go." ”

The sun had not yet set, and it was still the ox cart, but there was an extra boy in the cart, and although the cart was as slow as when it came, the old ox walked a long way forward every few steps. Li Mu looked at it silently, looked up at the sunset that was about to set, and then carefully observed the surrounding environment.

Out of the mountain and then walk a short distance to the nearest town, when the car is halfway up the mountainside, Li Mu suddenly jumped to the cliff on the side of the mountain, and saw a few thick branches growing on the cliff between the rapid fall, Li Mu was happy in his heart, sure enough, he did not miscalculate the position, as long as he grabbed the branch and then used the rope prepared in the bag to go down the mountain, he could escape.

But not long after he fell, his right hand was grabbed, and when he looked up, he saw the old man hanging in the air and pulling him, his eyes full of puzzlement. Li Mu was ruthless in his heart, shook the bag with his left hand, and all the objects inside fell down, and then grabbed a cold dagger and threw it upward, the dagger hit the old man's eyebrows, but it flew over his head like a shadow and failed to cause any damage. Li Mu didn't show any surprise when he saw this, as if he had already been mentally prepared, but his eyes were fierce, staring straight at Qingxuzi.

Qingxuzi, who pulled Li Mu back into the car, asked dissatisfiedly, "Yunxiao, what do you mean by this?"

Li Mu snorted coldly: "Charm and ghost, is the sun impatient to come out and harm people before it sets? Since I have fallen into your hands, I must kill you and listen to your respect." ”

"You say I'm a ghost?" Li Mu's words made him laugh and cry.

"It's true that I've never seen any peerless masters as a mountain boy, but if I don't see it, it doesn't mean I'm a fool, a person without a shadow, what else can I be if I'm not a ghost. Li Mu responded on the surface, but in his heart he was still thinking about a way to get out.

Qing Xuzi looked down at his trance-like body, and smiled dumbly: "Since you know that I am a ghost, then why do you still follow me out of the village." ”

"I'm not sure if the people in the village have a way to deal with you, so instead of going out and asking for help and hurting them, I'd better wait for an opportunity to escape. ”

"Then if you succeeded in escaping just now, wouldn't I still hurt them if I turned back again?" Hearing this, Qingxuzi suddenly became interested.

"I'm a yellow-mouthed child who has no power to restrain the chicken, I only do what I can, if they really suffer from poison because of this, it is also fate, and I can't blame anyone. Li Mu replied word by word, facing the ghosts that frightened ordinary people, but there was no trace of fear.

Qing Xuzi nodded with satisfaction, he thought he was just talented, but he didn't expect that a small mountain village could have such mental wisdom, but when he saw Li Mu's face full of vigilance, Qing Xuzi's face turned cold: "You are so wary of me, is it true that even the name is false, what is your name?"

"Li Yunxiao. Li Mu glanced at him, thinking that if he could get through the night and stay up until dawn, he might still have a chance of life.

"That's it, I don't bother to go back and ask for details, Yunxiao, it's also a good name, it's just that your trouble today, my original wish to walk in the world will be disappointed. After saying that, he saw Qing Xuzi pinching a Dao seal with both hands, and Li Mu was shocked to see the ox cart under the seat slowly rise into the air, and then turned into a giant sword and soared straight into the sky.

This situation is impacting Li Mu's cognition, Li Mu, who was sitting on the giant sword and shuttling quickly in the clouds, rubbed his eyes, confirmed that he was not a dream, he examined Qingxuzi again, and laughed at himself: "If you are really a ghost, then I will not be in vain." ”

In the flash of light, the giant sword had flown into a mountain, and Li Mu also saw the destination of this trip, a towering mountain peak, lush and green, and the aura on the top of the mountain was striking.

Li Mu, who stepped on the earth again, still felt a little unreal, and the blur of the shape of Qingxuzi in front of him slowly disappeared, and then an old man wearing a black and white Dao robe with a purple gold Dao crown on his head walked over and smiled at Li Mu: "Old Dao Qingxuzi, this is an official meeting." ”

"What was that just now?" Li Mu pointed to the place where Qing Xuzi disappeared just now.

"That's an out-of-body incarnation of the old way, just because of the last resort, I can't leave this Heavenly Dao Peak, since you are here, I believe you already know how difficult it is for this opportunity to belong to you, ask again, are you willing to worship me as a teacher to inherit me, if you don't want to, I will send you back without reluctance. Although Qingxuzi said this, he was very confident in his heart, and if the child who had experienced such a thing still refused, he would be a fool.

"Disciple Li Yunxiao paid a visit to his master. Li Mu no longer hesitated, and simply made an apprenticeship ceremony, but he thought in his heart: Ah Gui, I don't know how you are doing, I will go to you when I am successful in my studies, but I must remember the agreement between us.

Qingxuzi didn't care much about his attitude, just laughed happily.

The days and the months have changed from spring to autumn, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye. Li Yunxiao, who was already a heroic boy, came to the sword viewing platform as promised.

"The acquired realm must have been stabilized. Qingxuzi, who was standing on the stage and looking into the distance, noticed that the person who came did not turn around, but just asked.

"Yes, and the thirty-three styles of the Taiji Sword have been cultivated. Li Yunxiao bowed slightly and replied.

"Genius, there is a genius like you, there is no bottleneck in cultivation, everything is so natural, what kind of accumulation and thinness send out external experience to seek opportunities or seek breakthroughs between life and death, these so-called common sense on the rivers and lakes will not work for you, as long as you have enough resources, you can keep promoting, I Qingxuzi is really fortunate in three lives, it seems that it won't be long before you can point to the innate nature, even if the immortals are just around the corner. Qingxuzi sighed as if he was happy or worried, but his eyes were still looking into the distance and had not deviated.

"Everything depends on the teachings of the master, I don't know what the master called me over?" Li Yunxiao replied without the slightest color, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Let's talk casually, and by the way, there are some things to explain. Qingxuzi pointed to the distance: "Do you see that sword?"

Li Yunxiao followed Qing Xuzi's gaze, only the clouds and mist were misty, and he shook his head: "I don't see anything." ”

Qing Xuzi's eyes were a little embarrassed: "Also, although you are talented, after all, the realm is lower, and you may be able to see it when you enter the innate level." ”

"A very important sword?"

"Yes, a sword of the deceased, its sword body is buried on a mountain, its sword soul stands between heaven and earth to protect future generations, I really hope that this sword will never find a successor. ”

"What happens if I find a successor?"

"I'm going to kill you. Only then did Qing Xuzi turn around and look directly at Li Yunxiao.

"Kill me?" Li Yunxiao was puzzled on the surface, but he already knew it, and it seemed that the hatred of the previous generation was about to be transferred to his own hands.

"But he can't kill you, because I am the best in the world, you are my only apprentice, and you will be the first in the world in the future. Qing Xuzi couldn't hear any arrogance in his words, only a trace of bitterness: "But if her heir really appears, you only need to cut off the love sword, don't hurt his life." ”

I saw that Qingxuzi raised his hand, and a simple ancient sword fell from the sky and stood upright in front of Li Yunxiao.

"From now on, this Taishang forgetfulness is your sword, and after inheriting this sword, he will be gone, and you will assume the duties of the Demon Suppression Palace, do you understand?" Qing Xuzi looked directly at Li Yunxiao's eyes, wanting to see what he was thinking.

Li Yunxiao didn't take the sword, and his eyes didn't hide or look back at Qing Xuzi: "Then will I be trapped here forever in this life to suppress the Demon Domain like my master?"

"I know what you think in your heart, what about being admired by thousands of people, who wants not to be free to be that clay Bodhisattva, I am not a ruthless and unrighteous person, otherwise I will not find you. Qing Xuzi was not surprised that Li Yunxiao questioned, and explained: "If I want to suppress this seal from generation to generation, I only need to find more disciples, why waste thousands of years alone, watching how many people rise and fall in this world, mountains and rivers, I want a way that can be done once and for all." ”

Li Yunxiao didn't answer, and waited for Qingxuzi to follow.

"Time will always dilute everything, if one day, the descendants are indifferent to the heavy responsibility of sealing the demons, causing the demon domain to impact Shenzhou again and cause the lives to be ruined, I am the real sinner, so I need a successor who can advance to the immortals, enter the demon domain and retreat to seal the passage of the two realms forever, so are you willing to take on this important task?"

Li Yunxiao thought about it and felt that what Qing Xuzi said did have some truth, but his nature made him only believe seven points, and he wanted to use the power of his master to find out the whereabouts of his brother recently, but at this time he dispelled this idea. After thinking about it for a while, Li Yunxiao put the Forgetful Sword behind his back and said, "The disciple will not fail in his mission." ”

Qingxuzi was expressionless, still staring at him directly.

Li Yunxiao was helpless, and pointed to the sky and said: "I, Li Yunxiao, swear to the sky, in this life, I will slaughter the Demon Domain and protect the peace of Shenzhou. ”

Qing Xuzi smiled on his face, and took out a piece of jade and stuffed it into Li Yunxiao's hand: "This piece of static sky jade has the purpose of condensing time and space and reshaping the vitality of heaven and earth, and the seal guard on weekdays can be handed over to those named disciples of the three sects, once the demon domain impacts the seal, you need to take action personally, and this piece of jade can assist you very well." Although you don't need it now, it will be of great benefit to your practice. ”

Li Yunxiao nodded, and put Jingkong Yu into his arms solemnly: "If the master has nothing else to do, the disciple will leave." ”

"Wait, the foundation of your acquired realm is stable, and it's time to go to the Tianwu Creation Cave. ”

"Tianwu Creation Cave?" The unfamiliar term that he had never heard of in Tiandao Peak for two years made Li Yunxiao puzzled.

"That's right, otherwise why do you think the old foxes of the Three Sects sent their juniors here, isn't it just to be able to learn a stunt in it? Qing Xuzi smiled disdainfully: "The major matter of Shenzhou's survival is regarded as a transaction, no wonder they are now green and yellow." Okay, don't talk about them, that treasure is the unique secret realm of my Tiandao Peak, you can only enter it once in your life, and those who enter can learn from it a mastery of an ancient master, that master is either a martial artist or a fighter, and his true qi running route is very clear, you just need to keep watching, although it is an illusion but it is extremely real and there is no danger, you will be teleported out after three days, as for what kind of unique style you learn, it all depends on your own creation. ”

Li Yunxiao nodded, took the guide map handed by Qing Xuzi and followed the route.
