Volume 1 Chapter 40 The Sword Shrine
The sixteen disciples had already arrived, and they were neatly arranged, staring at the sun hanging in the sky, looking at Tang Wu on the two high platforms and the first disciple of the Eighth Palace.
"Since last night, the Eight Palace Elders have been in retreat and cultivating, and in the future, the affairs of this Shu Mountain will be handled by me, Tang Wu. And the people who teach you to practice are the first disciples of the Eight Palaces. ”
After that, Tang Wu looked back and gave a color to a few of the first disciples next to him, and several people understood it, and they all stepped down to bring out the junior brothers and sisters from the palace, ranking in the same row.
After the assignment was completed, Tang Wu spoke again: "Secondly, there is another important thing today, that is, new disciples need to choose their own swords. And the place where this sword is worn is in the sword mound of the western mountain of Shushan," said this, he turned sideways slightly, looked at the bottomless valley behind him, and said slowly: "That's what I mean under the mountain behind me." ”
You stretched your necks to look, but you could only see a stone tablet standing on the edge of the cliff, on which were engraved two blood-red characters - Sword Shrine
And this sword mound is naturally the tomb of the sword, the place where the sword belongs after the death of the previous masters, and the place where the new generation of masters come to give the sword a new life, implying the endless inheritance.
Li Yi couldn't help but think of the elf sword that Qin Miao gave him, he didn't use it much, and he didn't understand the ability of the sword, so he buried himself under the demon god in his lulu, and at this time, he didn't know where the elf sword was.
Will he be able to meet him in this life?
"What are you thinking?" Tian Ying called out beside him, a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Li Yicheng shook his head lightly and did not speak.
"What do you think our swords will be like in the future? I heard that there are quite a few famous swords in this sword mound!" Tian Ying prayed as he raised his head and began to fantasize.
"Let it be. Li Yiregret replied simply and clearly, and then quietly waited for the matter of entering the back mountain to get the sword.
"The disciples are divided into groups of two, go down the mountain to get their swords, and whatever they can achieve, they must return within three days. Tang Wu announced, and then it was time to form a team freely.
First of all, Li Jingwei and Qin Shu went down together, and as soon as the two walked in front of the stone tablet, Tang Wu's voice came again: "The swords in this sword mound are all spiritual, so it is not only the sword I choose, but also the sword master. ”
Qin Shu and Li Jingwei looked at each other, nodded, and then walked down the mountain, there were stairs through the clouds along the way, and after passing the stairs, they reached the forest mountain opposite.
followed by Li Yiregret and Tian Ying, who went down to a group of people almost every half an hour.
The forest on the opposite side is secluded, exuding an eerie and oppressive atmosphere.
Qin Shu and Li Jingwei walked on the road and didn't arrive at the entrance of the sword shrine for a long time, and Qin Shu didn't think about the sword shrine at this time, but remembered that Li Jingwei was seriously injured at the fairy sword conference yesterday, and he didn't know how to speak, and after a long time, he couldn't help it, and apologized: "I'm sorry." ”
Li Jingwei was stunned for a moment and looked up: "I'm sorry for what?"
Qin Shu raised his head and looked at him, the apology in his eyes had already been transmitted to the other party's eyes.
"Yesterday, I shouldn't have used the Dragon Trick to deal with you, I obviously didn't grasp the strength well, and I almost killed you. He looked at his hands with guilt and self-reproach, as if he saw that his hands were stained with blood, and his pupils suddenly jumped violently.
Seeing his guilty appearance, Li Jingwei sighed silently, reached out to cover his palm, blocked his sight, and said, "It's not your fault, didn't you also try your best to show mercy in the end?" ”
"No......" Qin Shu denied, but he didn't know how to continue. Because at that time, he remembered that he couldn't control his strength at all, so he completely hit Li Jingwei with the Dragon Trick.
There was blood on the sword, but Li Jingwei did not die, but became very strange, with a strange aura lingering all over his body, giving people the feeling that he had suddenly changed as if he had suddenly changed a person.
But he didn't look closely, and he was stunned by Li Jingwei's powerful power, which was definitely not what the realm of the late stage of qi refining should have.
No, to be more precise, it's not as pure as the power of the five elements, but a little more domineering and evil?
Qin Shu fell into chaos, and he didn't know if it was an illusion or a fact at that time, because he was in a state of loss of control.
"What's wrong?" Li Jingwei asked when he saw his thoughtful look.
Qin Shu shook his head and smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, let's go." ”
Then, it didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the entrance of the sword shrine.
This is the entrance of two towering trees with their roots intertwined, and the entrance faintly flashes with colorful streamers, like an invisible and tangible door, and the cave exudes a complex atmosphere.
"This is it. The two looked at each other, and then walked over with firm eyes.
Walk through the multicolored streamer and enter the cave. Suddenly, it was pitch black, and they couldn't even see the outside scene behind them, and the two couldn't even figure out the direction.
"Go forward?" Li Jingwei's voice sounded in the darkness.
"Hmm. Qin Shu responded.
The two approached, moving cautiously as they walked forward.
Suddenly, with a bang, the cave suddenly lit up, and the candlesticks on the rock wall lit up with fire, and the light extended all the way to the end of the cave, so that the two of them could see the situation inside.
The deeper you go, the more you can feel the aura of chaos exuding from it, including sadness, anger, forgiveness, unwillingness, satisfaction, and so on......
This is all from the sword owner's mood before his death, and it is also the only emotion of the sword master before he dies.
"Qin Shu, how do you get here?" Not long after walking, the two of them fell into a difficult situation, because the environment at this time was that in a wide cave, there were paths that extended in all directions, and the rock walls of each road were full of swords, and each sword exuded a different aura.
"Ed," Qin Shu rubbed his index finger against his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "Go separately?"
"No, let's go together, this place is weird. ”
Coupled with what Tang Wu said before, the sword has a spirit, and Li Jingwei had to be cautious so as not to be attacked by the sword spirit.
"Alright then, go this way. Qin Shu casually chose a path on the right-hand side, and then walked over with steps, and Li Jingwei also followed.
After that, Li Yicheng and Tian Ying also came to the cave, standing in this wide cave, looking around.
"Regret, let's go this way. Tian Ying didn't hesitate, and walked to a path on the right hand side with a step, Li Yiregret did not object, but followed calmly.
Not long after the two left, Li Yiregret was suddenly attracted by the flickering white light in the distance.
There was a pure, sad aura from the depths of the cave, and with the soft white light, it gave him a feeling of suffocation but not parting.
Li Yicheng subconsciously clenched his palms, stared intently at the flickering white light in the depths, and strode over, Tian Yingla behind him couldn't hold it, so he could only call him to follow at the same time.
