Volume 1 Xingyun Asks the Heart Chapter 46 The Remnants of the Abyss
The flow of people in the archway of Wujie is extremely large, and in the most crowded section of the road, Lone Shadow even bumps into him every two steps, which makes him very helpless.
At this time, he had already found a few basic sword recipes, because these sword recipes were too basic, so there were a lot of rubbings circulating on the market, although the price was cheap, but he could always see several of the same ones in the stall after the lonely shadow, which made him wonder if there were only a few low-level sword recipes in this world.
Just when he felt that there was nothing to do and turned back to the inn, there was a throbbing in his heart for no reason, and the feeling was like his heart beating half a beat slower, which caught Lone Shadow a little off guard.
At this moment, the lonely shadow stopped his steps, and looked around with some confusion, at this time he found that everything around him seemed to have lost its color, and the noisy noise in the crowd was also quiet for a moment, and a small stall that was not visited was emitting a ray of light that only he could perceive.
When he noticed the stall, everything around him returned to normal, and the clamor came to Lone Shadow's ears again, but at this time, Lone Shadow's attention was completely attracted by this small stall, and he immediately walked towards him.
After approaching, Lone Shadow found that the stall owner sitting behind the stall was a one-armed old man, with a face like dry bark under his gray hair, and the old man seemed to feel that he was a guest, and his cloudy eyes raised to look at Lone Shadow and then drooped down again, and continued to pick at the dead skin on his feet with his only remaining hand, without the slightest sense of hospitality.
Lone Shadow was stunned, he understood the reason for the scarcity of customers in this stall, and the goods on this stall were also miscellaneous and were casually thrown on it, Lone Shadow flipped through twice and found that the things sold by this old man were really varied, and he even saw a herb inserted in a night pot with a sense of age so casually, which also had a unique flavor.
However, this was not on Lone's radar, for he found that the throbbing in his heart intensified as he approached the stall, as if something was beckoning him, and he couldn't help but start rummaging through the pile.
Suddenly, a glittering object caught his attention, and he reached out and pulled it out from the very bottom of the stall, only to see that it was a piece of residual iron, and most of the place was rusty except for a small area that had just leaked out, and it looked inconspicuous.
But when Lone Shadow held it in his hand, a strong sense of familiarity surged in his heart, and he felt extremely cordial in his hand, and two words instantly appeared in his mind...... Abyss.
The abyss, the name of a sword, a sword that pierced the heart of the Demon Venerable. Somehow, Lone Shadow thought of it instantly, but how did it appear here, and why did it become the way it was?
"Boss, how do you sell this thing?" asked Lone Shadow as he grabbed an equally rusty object from the stall and asked the old man in front of him who was picking his feet.
"Eighty taels. The old man glanced at him and said casually, and it could be seen that he was offering a very arbitrary price, and a piece of broken copper and iron could be as high as an elixir.
Lone Shadow showed a contemplative look, and then lifted the remnants of the abyss and asked, "Then how much is this?"
"Two together, I will charge you two hundred. The old man smiled, changed his comfortable position, and lay down on his chair and said.
Lone Shadow frowned and said, "How much is one?"
"One piece is not for sale. The old man closed his eyes and shook his head, and said slowly.
Lone Shadow smashed his mouth, secretly saying that the phenomenon of stealing customers in this stall is too serious, but fortunately, he didn't directly ask the price of this remnant just now, it seems that the other party regards himself as a lover of rusty iron, although this price is high, it is not worth mentioning at all compared to the abyss.
The old man hurriedly reached out and picked up the silver tickets from the stall, looked left and right and found that no one paid attention to him, so he carefully looked at the silver tickets in his arms.
Lone Ying also saw that this old man was an ordinary person, and there was no trace of cultivation fluctuations in his body, and two hundred taels of silver tickets were equivalent to a sky-high price for an ordinary person, so it was no wonder that this old man was so careful.
After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the silver ticket, the old man showed a satisfied smile, and the few remaining teeth in his mouth were all exposed at once, and he looked a little crazy.
Lone Shadow put the two pieces of "scrap iron" into his bag and left, Lone Shadow didn't remind the old man that the half-step spirit owner of the stall next to him just now had been looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, counting the money, after all, this can only be blamed on him, and he has to get involved in something beyond his strength without that strength.
After buying the fragment of the abyss, Lone Shadow no longer stayed in Wu Street, and returned directly to the inn, to be honest, his heart is a little complicated now, looking at the fragment in his hand that is about to be completely rusted, as if marking the end of an era, but he still has a delicate relationship with that era that is difficult to break, and he can't help but flash a trace of tremor in his heart.
Gently stroking this piece of the remnant, Lone Shadow estimated that it should be one-twelfth the length of the Abyss Sword, but because of the rust, it was not possible to tell which part of the sword body it belonged to.
"Abyss...... The hidden dragon is in the abyss, and it swims back to it, once ascending to the sky. Lone Shadow muttered in a low voice, this was the memory of this sword in the depths of his mind, thinking that in his dreams, he had held this sword countless times to fight with the Demon Venerable, but he never thought that he would be like this after seeing the real thing now.
He didn't have any broken memories of the abyss, and the last memory of his previous life was only the moment when the Demon Venerable's halberd pierced his chest, but the abyss at that time still pierced the Demon Venerable's throat completely.
"What the hell have you been through?" said Lone Shadow as he walked to the window, holding the body up to the sky and letting the sunlight wrap it all in it.
I don't know if it was because I heard the lone shadow talking to myself or because of the sunlight shining on my body, this fragment of the abyss began to heat up gradually, and at the same time began to tremble slightly.
Lone Shadow put the fragment in front of him with some doubts to observe, only to see that the rust on the fragment began to fall with its own trembling, from which Lone Shadow also felt a strong unwillingness, that unwillingness from the original intention of the abyss, everything has a spirit, not to mention the sword in the hand of this peerless swordsman.
As time passed, the trembling intent on the remnant sword became stronger, and the rust on it began to slowly fade, revealing the edge it should have had, although it was only a remnant, its sharpness was more terrifying than any long sword that Lone Shadow had seen now, as if it had the potential to kill the sky.
"What a sharp sword!" Lone Shadow sighed with a look of shock as he looked at the sharpening remnants in his hand, this was indeed worthy of that person's weapon.
As the rust fell completely, Lone Shadow finally saw the whole picture of this fragment, the length and width were more than two inches, and on closer inspection, it should be the place where the end of the blade meets the hilt, this position should be less bloodstained than other places, but the fierce light released at this time is not weak at all.
And Xiao Bai hid under the bed at this time because of the breath emitted by the abyss, and did not dare to show his head, after all, the perception ability of the spirit beast was much stronger than that of ordinary people, and it could feel that there were many souls of its own spirit beasts buried in the fierce light of the abyss, which made it tremble.
Suddenly, a faint consciousness came into Lone Shadow's mind, and he said very succinctly: "Will you ...... me Put it in that sword......"
Lone Shadow was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the Dao Sword he had placed on the table behind him, pondered for a moment and then pulled out the Dao Sword, and then gently touched the fragment of the abyss with the blade of the Dao Sword.
Then a magical scene happened, the fragments of the abyss were actually integrated into the Dao Sword little by little, without any smelting and reforging, with the integration of the fragments, the whole body of the Dao Sword at this time emitted a faint white light, and a faint inscription appeared on the sword body, until the fragments were completely fused with the Dao Sword, the light gradually dissipated, and the inscription stayed at the end of the Dao Sword.
"Take my stump...... Give me ...... Glory ......" After it was completely fused, a consciousness once again intermittently transmitted into Lone Shadow's mind, echoing in his heart for a long time.
"Where is your remnant, and why did you become the way it is?" asked Lone Shadow hurriedly, wanting to get more information from it, but that consciousness never appeared again in the time since, and there was no trace of it except for the inscription on the Dao Sword.
Lone Shadow stroked his forehead with a little headache, feeling that he was now trapped in a huge and intricate whirlpool without a clue, and when he came out, his idea was very simple, that is, to figure out who he was, and he had a clear heart, but now with the deepening of his cultivation, more and more puzzles were placed in front of his eyes, making him unable to start.
"That's it...... Let's take one step at a time!" Lone Shadow shrugged and said to himself, anyway, now there is a lot of debt, as for the matter of finding other abyss fragments, let's take it slowly, after all, this also depends on fate, isn't it?
And now he has to practice some basic sword skills for the competition in a month, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of only using one move.
As soon as he thought of this, the burden in Lone Shadow's heart suddenly decreased a lot, and then he took out a basic sword technique he bought in Wujie from his arms and looked through it.
And the first sword recipe that Lone Shadow looked at was called "Yellow Flower Sword", and his reputation was domineering, but when Lone Shadow flipped through the first page, he found that there were eight big characters written on it.
"If you want to practice divine skills, you must first go to the palace!"
