At this moment, Xu Changfeng suddenly returned to ten years ago, and that monstrous fire burned the Sky Sword Village to ashes.

He will never forget that his father was seriously injured by that man, with a sword, and then, a golden flying sword flew out of the most prosperous palace in Chang'an City and pierced his father's heart.

"Shen Binglin, Li Nie. The boy took a deep breath, "I won't let you go!"

If there were others present at this moment, it would not be difficult to find that the young man's eyes were full of bloodshots. He has fallen into the demons of his heart, and the only way to free them is to wake up by relying on them.

However, in the next second, a shrewd and transparent light suddenly flashed in the young man's dim eyes, "Come out, I know you're doing tricks." ”

Ulla......

As the young man's words fell, the fire in front of him couldn't help but slowly extinguish, and his sight returned to the cave in front of him, which was still as dark as ever. However, in front of him, there was this man floating, an extremely old man, with white hair on his head revealing the vicissitudes of the times.

"You have been completely trapped in the illusion, why did you suddenly have an epiphany?" the old man asked with a hint of doubt.

"The illusion is real. The boy nodded and admitted, "However, some memories do not make people fall deeper and deeper, but will make people sober up all of a sudden." I shouldn't have seen the fire 10 years ago. ”

"Oh?" asked the old man, puzzled, "why?" ”

"Because of that fire, it has been played out in my mind a thousand times. The boy said flatly.

Memories do make people fall deeper and deeper, but when a person breaks free from the shackles of memories, that memory will not become an obstacle, but the direction of his progress. If it weren't for the fire ten years ago, the boy would not have gotten to where he is today.

"Interesting. The white-haired old man nodded and said, "Since you have broken free from the dream, you have passed the test and are qualified to know the reason." Do you want to know who I am?"

"This is the Chang'an Sword Shrine, since you can appear here and know so many things, you must be the predecessor of the Sword Shrine, right?" Xu Changfeng said in a deep voice,

"Not bad. The white-haired old man nodded, "I am the last sect master of the Chang'an Sword Sect. ”

The decline of the Sword Sect is like the death of the sword, so this place has become a sword mound.

"Thousands of years ago, in the era of the flood and famine, the Chang'an Sword Sect was in my hands and went to the road of destruction. The old man whispered, "I have used all my life to seal my soul here. Although the Sword Sect declined, it was still able to guide later cultivators to a bright path. For thousands of years, the sword tablet of the Chang'an Sword Sect has guided endless cultivators. You're not the first person to pass the test, but you're the one who takes the shortest. ”

"What happens if I don't pass the assessment?" Xu Changfeng asked suspiciously.

"Lost in shape. The old man said lightly, "When you embark on the path of a cultivator, you should be prepared for the consciousness of death." If a man is afraid of death, he will never be able to lift the sword in his hand. ”

"In this way, I can be regarded as passing the assessment?" Xu Changfeng asked in a low voice.

He really didn't expect that this year's Star Gathering would be an illusion left by the Chang'an Sword Sect. It's no wonder that the topics are different every year, because the mood that everyone can see is very different, and everyone's topic will naturally be different.

"Not yet. The old man shook his head, "The state of mind is only the foundation of cultivation, if you want to comprehend the sword tablet, you also need to let me see your strength." But before I do that, I want to ask you a question. ”

"Senior, please speak. Xu Changfeng nodded.

"You, why do you want to learn swords?" the white-haired old man looked at Xu Changfeng and asked.

When the young man heard this, he couldn't help but fall silent, and after a long time, he exhaled slowly, and said as if relieved: "There is no reason, I just want to learn." ”

"What if you will pay with your life for this?" asked the white-haired old man.

"What do you mean?" the young man suddenly felt a sense of solemnity on his face

I saw that the white-haired old figure in front of me suddenly disappeared, and all this in front of the young man's eyes returned to its original gloom. An empty echo came from the air: "If you survive, you can know what happened." ”

"Xu Changfeng, you go to die!"

At this moment, a sharp shout burst out of the air. The young man looked back and saw Wei Changting's eyes red, and he was holding an aqua blue long sword swooping towards him.

"Wei Changting, what's going on?" Xu Changfeng exclaimed.

However, at this time, Wei Changting couldn't hear what he said at all, and the spiritual power erupted from his body, and a sword broke out.

This sword seemed ordinary, but it contained the profound spiritual power in Wei Changting's body, as if it was hatred for the enemy, and swept towards Xu Changfeng.

The young man hurriedly swung his sword to resist, only to hear a sky-breaking explosion, and the young man couldn't help but take a few steps back, and his face became very ugly. He had just spent too much consciousness fighting against the demons, and it was difficult for him to get into the state now, and once his mind was unstable, the hand holding the sword would also tremble.

"It's ......"

The young man looked fixedly, and in the gloomy cave, he could faintly see the hilt of the sword held in Wei Changting's left hand.

"Queen Mother?" was engraved with a code word that only the people of the Sky Sword Village could understand. Obviously, this sword came from the hands of the queen mother, so Wei Changting should have been instructed by the queen mother to secretly kill himself.

"I see!"

The boy sneered in his heart.

This Chang'an Sword Sect is really a good means.

Those who were devoured by the demons had long since lost their original consciousness, but they had memorized the spiritual power in their bodies and the former sword scriptures. It is naturally better to use them as the object of trial.

Victory over one's own heart is nothing, if even other people's demons can be defeated, then what else in the world can surrender oneself?

"Wei Changting, do you want to kill me like that?" Xu Changfeng couldn't help but mutter.

As he spoke, Wei Changting had already rushed towards Xu Changfeng, he raised the sword in his hand, and a destructive spot of light swept up in the dark cave, slowly leaking in front of him like a tassel.

"Die!"

Wei Changting's sword seems to be very weak, but the tassel in it contains this terrifying spiritual power, and once accidentally touched, he will be seriously injured.

Wind and rain swordsmanship!

For a while, a strong wind gushed out of the cave, the wind blew the clothes of the two of them, and the cold spiritual power fluctuations bloomed.

"Broken!"

In the cold wind, a small dark green sword with a dim light broke.

"Whoever wants me to pay with my life, I must make him pay the price. The young man said coldly in his heart.
