Chapter 11: The Sword of the Gods
"It's me, you're it?" Qiu Yuanxue looked at the giant dragon glowing with a dazzling white light in front of her and asked in a puzzled tone.
"I'm a dragon, from Sky City, and this is Yukizakura, she's a contractor. Tianlong introduced himself.
"Contractor? What does that mean?" Qiu Yuanxue asked.
"The one who bears witness to the bond that connects the heirs and shows you the way. Tenryu explained.
"By the way, what is your relationship with Chogen Muying?" The dragon leaned over, and it asked, looking down at the silver-haired girl in front of it with its huge eyes.
"She's my mother, do you know her?" Hearing Tianlong mention Makuei's name, Qiu Yuanxue's eyes widened and she continued to ask.
"I've also heard the ancestors mention it, how is she lately?" Tenryu asked.
"It's a pity...... My mother, who died on her way to investigate the monster infestation in order to protect our village and town. Qiu Yuanxue couldn't help but bow her head sadly after hearing this.
"Alas...... I didn't expect that she had already left after sealing Chiyou, but you don't have to be sad. Tianlong sighed and said.
"Wait, what's the matter with the Seal Chiyou? Mother she never mentioned it to me. Qiu Yuanxue interrupted Tianlong's words and asked suspiciously.
"That happened twenty years ago in the world, the Chiyou giant beast attacked the human continent, your mother Qiuyuan Muying is the inheritor of the previous generation of Heavenly Sword, she saved tens of millions of lives from the enemy back then, it can be said that it is a generation of heroes. The dragon looked up at the sunlight shining in the cave.
"However, now there is a new crisis that is spreading to the earth, that is, the infestation of the demon beasts that attack all parts of the world, it seems that someone is secretly instructing, the seal of the dark dragon is no longer firm, and in order to save the world, you must stop the invasion of these demon beasts. Tenryu said, looking down at the snow.
"What is the Dark Dragon, and why did I pick up this sword?" Qiu Yuanxue asked.
"The Dark Dragon is the root of all evil, to be precise, the embodiment of evil, a long time ago, the Three Emperors used up their spiritual power to seal it in an iron sword, but now that this seal has passed for a thousand years, sooner or later it will collapse. At that time, the evil dragon will fall into the dark abyss of the world, not to mention, you are the daughter of Makuying, which may also be your fate. Take up this sword, and it will give you the power of light to fight evil until the last moment. Tenryu said to the snow.
Xue slowly walked in the direction of the silver bronze sword, and saw the figure of the Celestial Dragon gradually change into a spot of light, and it said, "Wield the power of the gods I have given you." ”
After speaking, Tianlong changed into countless white lights, flying into the air like thousands of miles of starlight, and dissipated, leaving only Qiu Yuanxue and Xue Ying standing in this ice cave.
Qiu Yuanxue stretched out her right hand and was about to touch the hilt of the sword, when Xue Ying, who had been standing on the sidelines and watching, suddenly opened her mouth and said, "You have to think about it, once you pick up this sword, it will change the fate of your life." ”
"I have already decided that my mother is no longer in the world, so I have to fight bravely and save more people with my limited life. Qiu Yuanxue said firmly.
"Then pick it up, heir to the Celestial Sword. Xue Ying said.
Qiu Yuanxue stretched out her hand again, and at the moment when she held the hilt of the sword, a burning sensation suddenly welled up in her heart, and she felt the back of her hand as if someone had stabbed it with a hot silver needle to paint.
When the pain was gone, the back of the hand that held the hilt of the sword was engraved with a dragon and a shield, as well as an inverted sword with a silver tattoo overlapping the shape.
Xue pulled out the sword stuck in the ground, and suddenly the white light flashed in the sky, she raised her right hand towards the sunlight and looked at the back of the hand engraved with the dragon tattoo, and said with some confusion: "What is this tattoo?"
"It's a dragon seal, it's proof that you're the heir, and it's also a sign that unlocks the physical potential of the inheritor, giving you extraordinary speed, stamina, and great strength, and it's a way to adapt to all kinds of complex and difficult battles. Xue Ying said.
"It seems that my mission is over, and the successor of the Celestial Sword still has a long way to go, so you have to go on your own. After speaking, Xue Ying just wanted to turn around and leave, and Qiu Yuanxue called her behind her.
"Wait!Yuki, do you know what happened to my mother before Chi You's attack?" Qiu Yuanxue had always had a lot of questions about her mother in her heart, and she asked very urgently.
"I don't know much about Chogen Muei, but it's certain that your mother is a true hero. ”
Xue Sakura turned around and looked at Xue with an affirmative look and said.
Then Yukizakura's "Wow!" sound turned into a white light and dissipated in the air.
In an instant, Qiu Yuanxue was the only one left in the entire ice cave, and then she left the cave and came to the courtyard of the Xuanling Hall, where she saw the female disciples in the courtyard cleaning the courtyard.
"Senior sister, you're back. One of the female disciples, who was cleaning the yard, hurriedly asked when she saw the snow coming back.
"I'm sorry, I came back late and just went out. Qiu Yuanxue replied.
"Hey, what kind of sword is that in your hand, senior sister? The female disciple asked when she saw the special sword in Qiu Yuanxue's hand.
After hearing this, the disciples all came over to watch carefully, and the sword in Xue's hand was discussed with each other.
"What are you doing? At this time, Yue Xiuying walked out of the hall and shouted after the female apprentice beside her.
After hearing the words, the surrounding disciples all dispersed and continued to busily tidy up the courtyard.
"Master, you're here. Qiu Yuanxue said.
Yue Xiuying walked over, she saw the sword in Qiu Yuanxue's hand, stretched out her finger and said, "Where did you go just now, what's going on with this sword?"
"Master, I went out for a while just now, and I picked up this sword in an ice cave. Qiu Yuanxue held the silver bronze sword on her chest and said to her master.
Yue Xiuying stepped forward and took a closer look, her eyes widened as if she remembered something, and she thought, "It can't be such a coincidence, this sword is exactly the same as the sword that Muying used to use...... Is this fate?"
Then Mu Ying lightly touched the sword surface with his hand, and suddenly a silver light emitted from the blade of the sword, which was very dazzling, and the silver light flickered and then darkened.
"This sword is very spiritual, but don't forget your illness, since you picked it up, you should use it carefully. Yue Xiuying said to Qiu Yuanxue.
"Yes, Master. Qiu Yuanxue nodded and said.
At this time, the surrounding scene was unusually blurry, and gradually Qiu Yuanxue slowly opened her eyes from her sleep, and what attracted her eyes was a ray of warm sunlight shining in from the window.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door, "Knock knock!"
"Here, who is it?" Qiu Yuanxue hurriedly got out of bed and said to the door.
"After sleeping for so long, it seems that your wound is almost recovered, so come out if you have nothing to do. A woman's voice came from outside the door.
Qiu Yuanxue's eyes widened when she heard this familiar voice: "It turned out to be Master, okay, I'll come here." ”
After Xue briefly tidied up the room, she came to the door and opened the door and asked, "Master, is there something wrong?"
"I'll come and see how you're doing, and give it to me. Yue Xiuying said.
Qiu Yuanxue stretched out her hand, Yue Xiuying took her hand and checked her pulse, and after a while, Yue Xiuying frowned and asked Xue, "Have you felt any other symptoms of discomfort in your body recently?"
"There's no master, it's just ......" Qiu Yuanxue shook her head and said.
"But what? Answer truthfully, and I will heal you. Yue Xiuying asked in a serious tone.
"It's just that I feel that the time limit for the onset of the disease recently seems to be a little advanced. Qiu Yuanxue said.
"Alas...... It seems that some medicines have to be dispensed, you can observe it again, and if there are other uncomfortable symptoms in the body, let me know as soon as possible. Yue Xiuying sighed lightly and said.
"By the way, you can prepare in a while, I want to see what results your swordsmanship has in the past few days. Yue Xiuying said to Qiu Yuanxue.
"Yes, Master. Qiu Yuanxue nodded and replied.
Then Qiu Yuanxue returned to the room to prepare, and the master and apprentice came to the courtyard, at this time, it was noon when the warm sun shone through the treetops into the ground of the courtyard, a breeze gently blew through the trunk of the tree, and the branches and leaves "sighed" in the wind.
Yue Xiuying sent a disciple to place an incense burner in the courtyard and light a stick of incense there.
Qiu Yuanxue was holding her silver bronze sword, while on the other side, Yue Xiuying was holding a thick branch, and the two started a competition again.
"Just let the horses come!" Yue Xiuying said to Xue with a branch in her hand.
"Yes, Master. Qiu Yuanxue said with both hands clenched into fists.
I saw that after the competition began, Qiu Yuanxue pulled out the bronze sword, she rushed forward and stabbed at the branch in Yue Xiuying's hand, Yue Xiuying noticed it and hurriedly dodged sideways, avoiding Xue's attack.
And just as she quickly waved the branch in her hand and wanted to fight back, Qiu Yuanxue reacted in time, she turned around and held her sword across her chest to block Yue Xiuying's attack.
Yue Xiuying said to Xue: "It's not enough to react, don't forget that your time is limited, so speed is the key." ”
Yue Xiuying used enough strength to press down the branches, and Qiu Yuanxue struggled to resist the master's attack, so the master and apprentice started a power contest.
Qiu Yuanxue really couldn't hold on, she dodged sideways and avoided her master's attack.
Then she hurried forward and stabbed with a quick wheel, "Boom, boom!" The silver bronze sword shone silver like a meteor shower of light on the blade of the sword, striking the branch in Master's hand like a spot of light from a meteor shower.
But such an attack seemed useless in front of Yue Xiuying, but she easily blocked every attack of Xue with a tree branch.
Xue bent over and gasped a little too strong, "Aha...... Aha...... Aha......"
At this time, a large amount of sweat flowed down Xue's forehead, and the sword in his hand was held tighter.
"Your sword speed is too slow, hurry up!" Yue Xiuying said, holding the branch tightly and pointing at the snow.
After Qiu Yuanxue stabilized her breath, she tensed her nerves and looked up and down at the powerful master in front of her with her eyes wide open to see if there was a breakthrough.
After taking a look, she suddenly rushed forward quickly, Qiu Yuanxue's figure turned into a silver sword light and flew towards Yue Xiuying like a meteor, and Yue Xiuying also waved the branch in her hand to meet it head-on.
When the two were about to clash, there was a sudden strong wind around them, and the branches and leaves of the trees were blown left and right, and a large number of branches and leaves were scattered in the air, and then only the sound of "pop!", after Yue Xiuying and the snow that turned into sword light, the branch in Yue Xiuying's hand was suddenly split in two by a powerful force, and the other half fell to the ground.
The onlookers applauded, and Yue Xiuying dropped the branch that was broken in half.
She looked up at the incense burner in the incense burner, at this time the incense had already burned halfway, but Yue Xiuying still said to Xue sternly: "It's okay if the branch is broken, the most important thing is whether you can survive the battle with the enemy is the key, remember your time limit for using force, don't risk exceeding the time limit, if you feel unwell, come back immediately, you performed very well today, but don't be too proud, the real training is still to come." ”
"Thank you, master, for the compliment, I remember. Qiu Yuanxue clasped her fists with both hands.
Xing Yuxiang's memoirs
Through the lady, I learned that her mother was actually a very famous hero, and it was also the mother's mother who saved the world when Chiyou attacked thousands of people on the mainland, and it can be imagined how great the hero is in people's hearts.
Even if that person has gone to another world, there are still many, many living people in this world who often remember her existence, and are deeply buried in their hearts and remembered by the world forever......
And now the hero's daughter also has to inherit the last wish of the previous generation, pick up the sword and continue to protect the world, sometimes fate really plays tricks on people.
Why would you choose a woman like Niangzi to take all the responsibility?
It's right to save people, but even so, I don't want to see my mother hurt in any way, but fortunately, in the end, I touched her and made her understand the importance of partners, and only by uniting everyone can we overcome difficulties, after all, one person's power is also very limited.
