The cloudy sky in Jiangning City is unusually gloomy, with a tendency of mountain rain to come and wind full of buildings, but under this gloom, there is an evil that is about to move.

"Chun'er, come to the ancestral hall. King Cheng Xia Cheng said with a sad face.

"What are you doing in the ancestral hall?" Xia Chun was also very puzzled, she usually didn't go to the ancestral hall if there was no major event, she faintly felt that something had happened.

In the ancestral hall, Xia Cheng stood with his hands behind his back, and his back was unusually straight.

"Chun'er, now that you have reached the age of the golden hairpin, you should know many things," Xia Cheng slowly turned around, holding a sword in one hand, "How much do you remember about your mother?"

"My mother?" Xia Chun's mother Zhou Xi didn't leave much impression on her, and she only heard that her mother was like a goddess of the Nine Heavens, with an extraordinary temperament, and she loved her father very much.

"Your mother died not long after giving birth to you" Xia Cheng waved the rusty sword in his hand, split the wooden table in front of him in two, and said with a short breath, "But do you know how she died?"

"It's all because of me, it's because I didn't protect her, it's all because of me!" Xia Cheng sat weakly with a sword in one hand and hammered his chest frantically with the other.

"Father, don't be like this, didn't you tell me since I was a child that my mother died because she gave birth to me?" Xia Chun rushed over and knelt beside him, holding Xia Cheng's hand that was beating his chest, "What the hell is going on?"

"When I was young, I traveled around the world, visited famous mountains, stepped on historical sites, fought against various kendo masters, and lived a life wantonly. Xia Cheng slowly stood up, leaning on Zhou Xi's spiritual position, his eyes were full of love" When he traveled to the Zhou Kingdom, Zhou Xi, the most doted little princess of King Wen of Zhou, that is, your mother met me and the sword ghost of the Heavenly Sword Sect when she was out playing, and at that time I felt that this was the most beautiful woman I Xia Cheng had ever met in my life, so beautiful that I fell into it and couldn't extricate myself, and I immediately decided that I Xia Cheng would not marry this woman in this life. ”

"Later, the princess's house recruited a kendo master, teaching the princess kendo, I was so excited to know the news that I didn't sleep well for several days, and I would wake up in the middle of the night dreaming and laughing, I undoubtedly became the princess's teacher, teaching her kendo every day, and after a long time, we secretly fell in love. Xia Cheng suddenly raised his eyebrows, "As soon as I returned to the palace, I asked my father to send an envoy to the Zhou Kingdom to marry, but my eldest brother, who is now the Emperor of Great Xia, Xia Mu, also asked his father to marry, and he is also the little princess Zhou Xi of the Zhou Kingdom." ”

then

"Big brother, do you have to fight with me? When I was a child, I never fought with you about what you wanted, because you are my eldest brother, but I won't let you this week!

"I have also taken a fancy to the princess of Zhou Guo for a long time, and I believe that my father will give her to me. Natsume said sarcastically.

As soon as he heard this, Xia Cheng's face turned white, and he secretly clenched his fists, "Big brother, don't force me!"

"Then let's go" Natsume turned around and brushed his sleeves away, ignoring Natsuei's words.

......

"At that time, Natsume was the crown prince, and I was only a son, but my father did not favor anyone, but just said that he would not interfere with us by ourselves. Xia Cheng suddenly laughed and said, "But how can this Natsume know about the affection between me and your mother!"

"In view of the status of the crown prince, King Wen of Zhou did everything possible to stop me and your mother, and used all his tricks. Xia Cheng sighed lightly, "Helplessly, I took your mother to elope to this Jiangning City to take refuge in this Nine Swords Gate, these six elders have a friendship with me, not long after arriving in Jiangning, this Xia Mu sent people to chase and kill, and he gave up because of the power of the Nine Swords Gate." ”

"We are incognito in this Jiangning City, and we will stay together, and after a year, we will have you, not long after you were born, this Natsume actually sent a master of the Dark Sect to assassinate me, the master of the Dark Sect is proficient in the art of assassination, and the rivers and lakes are spreading, and the Dark Sect has never missed. Xia Cheng closed his eyes and recalled the scene of that night, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.

That night, the rain was pouring down, thunder and lightning were combined, and Xia Chun cried non-stop.

"Xi'er, I'm a little distracted. Xia Cheng frowned.

"It's Chun'er's crying that makes you uncomfortable, right?" Zhou Xi said with a smile.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed from the window, "Who is it!" Xia Cheng subconsciously picked up his sword and stared cautiously at the door.

"It seems that this Natsume is not dead yet" Xia Cheng slowly pulled out the green blade in the scabbard.

"Bang!" I saw the black shadow break through the door, and the dagger was pointed at Xia Cheng's throat.

"Haha! It's good!" Xia Cheng tapped his toes on the ground, and the whole person rushed towards the dagger like a ribbon, and the two bounced off each other as soon as they touched.

"I have heard that Xia Shizi is good at swordsmanship, and I have learned it today. The shadow stood in the darkness with a dagger.

"Your Dark Sect is also worthy of its reputation, since you want to be taught, then look at it!" After speaking, Xia Cheng stepped on the Seven Star Steps, and the Qingfeng Sword followed the pace step by step, and six phantoms appeared in the air, and when the seven sword blades were about to get closer, the seven sword shadows fused into one, and they killed towards the black shadow with a force of ten thousand jun.

"This is the sevenfold sword technique that is widely praised on the rivers and lakes? Haha, then you can also try my move!" The black shadow twisted his eyebrows, and his left hand was put on his right hand, and the whole dagger exuded a misty black, which was very demonic, and the dagger was simple to block, and Xia Cheng's accumulation of strength turned into nothingness.

"Immortal arts? I can't imagine that this Natsume actually sent an immortal master to kill me, hahahaha. Xia Cheng said sadly, "I understand that you take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, I just want to beg the master to spare my wife and daughter's life, and I will die without regrets!"

"Xia Shizi is really the same as the one spread on the rivers and lakes, he is a man, okay, I will only kill one of you tonight. The shadow in the darkness did not move.

"Brother Cheng, don't! This matter started because of me, and it should be me who understands this matter!" Zhou Xi rushed to Xia Cheng's side like a tearful person, clutching his sleeve tightly.

"Xi'er, do you think it's really your reason? This Natsume has been jealous of me since I was a child, because my father has treated me better than other princes, so that many people think that I will be the crown prince, and the eldest brother is afraid that I will shake his position, so he makes things difficult for me everywhere, and then my father can't bear to see his children fratricidal, so he makes the eldest brother the prince. After speaking, Xia Cheng gently pushed Zhou Xi into the distance, but he killed the black shadow like a phantom.

The black shadow was not in a hurry, and the dagger with the immortal method picked up the sword, and his left hand slowly imprinted on Xia Cheng's chest.

"Poof!" Xia Cheng shook back violently, knelt on one knee, and spat blood from the mouth of his sword. The black shadow did not stop, and the figure flickered in front of Xia Cheng, and with a pinch of the seal in his right hand, and with a push of one hand, a dark purple light flew towards Xia Cheng.

At this moment, Xia Cheng looked at this move with his sword and smiled helplessly.

Suddenly, seeing a flower in front of Xia Cheng's eyes, Zhou Xi rushed to Xia Cheng and hugged him tightly, "Brother Cheng, I, Zhou Xi, marrying you is the happiest thing in my life, promise me, for me and for Chun'er, live well!" The dark purple light floated into Zhou Xi's body, and the latter's blood spit out from his mouth, and his eyes gradually lost color.

Xia Cheng looked at the blood on his chest, which was still a little warm, but he was stunned.

"Huh, I didn't expect me to miss, maybe it's providence" The dark shadow gradually melted into the darkness, and it felt like it had never been before.

"Xi'er!! Natsume! I swear to you!" Xia Cheng's eyes cracked, and he roared angrily towards the sky.

......

"Since your mother's death, I swore that I would never marry again in this life, when I was a child, I hid it from you and didn't want you to live in hatred, now that you have grown up, you should also know the heavy responsibility on your shoulders, this Natsume has countless masters around him, and there are even more immortal masters to protect me, I don't know immortal arts, I have more than enough heart for revenge and lack of strength, so my father has cultivated you since I was a child, and your brother has taught you kendo since I was a child, and the day of revenge is just around the corner!" Xia Cheng said resolutely with a look in his eyes.

Xia Chun had already cried into tears, "Father, why didn't you tell me earlier? Woo~ Natsume!

"Chun'er, you take this, this is your master, that is, the six elders of the Nine Swords Sect gave it to the father, back then I and your master simply tested the way of the sword, not mixed with the immortal way, after he lost to me, he gave me this sword, and said that this sword involves too much, its importance is heavier than my life, let me hand it over to you after you will be immortal. Xia Cheng took out a rusty sword behind Zhou Xi's spirit card, even if it was rusty, it couldn't stop the heart-wrenching sharpness.

"I still haven't seen through the difference between this rusty sword, but I believe that your master won't be groundless" Xia Cheng sighed, "Child, after talking to you so much today, I can be considered to let go of a stone in my heart, which is why I didn't stay in the capital, but settled in this border pass close to the barbarians for thirty years." ”

"Father, let Chun'er take revenge on this revenge, I will definitely use this sword to finish off Natsume's dog thief!" Xia Chun stared at the rusty sword in his hand, his gaze becoming more and more determined.

"Child, don't have too much pressure, after all, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and you are not completely sure, my father doesn't want you to take this risk, after all, you are the only child of me and your mother." Xia Cheng said earnestly.

"Don't worry, father, the child has a certain number in his heart. After speaking, Xia Chun walked out of the ancestral hall without looking back.

......

Three days later, the six elders of the Nine Swords Sect came to Xia Chun's residence.

"Chun'er, your father told me that he has handed over the sword to you, and I specially came to tell you something, this sword you must raise for an hour every day with immortal rhyme, the rust on this rusty sword cannot be removed by ordinary methods, and can only be refined by immortal rhyme. The six elders looked in the direction of the capital from afar, paused and said, "The teacher knows that you are eager for revenge, but the teacher still hopes that you will strengthen your strength first, if you refine all the rust on the rusty sword, you will have the strength to kill Natsume with your own hands." ”

"Also, from today onwards, you will follow me to the sect to cultivate. After saying that, the six elders disappeared out of thin air, not giving Xia Chun a chance to refute.

"This sword is called - Sealing Demon, the sword is in the people, the sword is dead!" Suddenly, the voice of the six elders sounded in Xia Chun's mind.

"Seal the demon?" Xia Chun stared at the sword in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a little palpitating.

The six elders who returned to the sect looked at the Great Xia Dynasty in a haze and said:

"Now that the rivers and lakes have been quiet for too long, it's time to let those old guys move their muscles and bones, and as soon as the demon comes out, it will definitely set off a bloody storm. Haha!"
