Chapter 61: Ambition dies before it is rewarded

-- Thanks to the natural friends of heaven, earth and stars for their tips and evaluations.

Ganzhou Sword Cliff.

Xu Ping held the sword proudly and guarded at the mountain gate, he was a child from a poor family, he was able to enter the famous sect of Sword Cliff, and he had a bright future from now on, how could he not be proud.

In recent years, it is said that it is a ten-year sword and cliff discussion conference, and the lord of the sword cliff, Gu Jue, will compete with the iron fist Li Shenfan, Xuanyi Sanren Qi Taichong, Changhe Luoyue Zuo Xingqi, and Master Zhixiu of Nianhua Yixiao to compete for the first place in the martial arts, and decide the fate of the "Book of Eternal Life". So the sword cliff was heavily guarded, and rising stars like Xu Ping were sent to guard the mountain gate.

Thinking of the "Book of Immortality", Xu Ping is a burst of yearning and sighing, after Shi Bodu Yuhan got this secret book back then, he was half a step into the micro in just six years, and he was likely to become the youngest martial arts master, but unfortunately he also attracted the disaster of killing because of the "Book of Immortality", ten years ago he was surrounded and killed by several masters of the same realm, and the ancestor Gu Juejian went one step late, and could only kill everyone and bring the "Book of Immortality" back to the sword cliff.

In order to prevent the people in the martial arts from being bloody because of this secret book, Gu Juejian sealed it under his futon. It's a pity that he couldn't suppress the four grandmasters such as Zuo Xingqi, who was as famous as him, and they joined forces to the Sword Cliff and asked Gu Juejian to hand over this secret book.

Of course, Gu Juejian refused, so he proposed a sword competition to decide the fate of the cheats, and finally he beat the other four, leaving the "Book of Immortality" in the sword cliff, and became the number one master of martial arts in the rivers and lakes. At the same time, the five of them agreed to compete again after ten years. However, this time it is not only the four great masters who have come, but also the rising stars in the rivers and lakes who have stepped into the micro realm in the past ten years

How great it would be if one day he could become a generation of grandmasters, defeat other masters of the same level in the Sword Cliff Sword Debate, and become a veritable number one master in martial arts! Xu Ping was in reverie, and a faint voice sounded in his ears: "This little brother, this is the Sword Cliff? ”

Xu Ping raised his eyes and saw a young man in ordinary clothes as if he suddenly appeared in front of him, so frightened that Xu Ping hurriedly took two steps back and pulled out his sword: "Who are you?

Shi Xuan put his hands behind his back and smiled: "How did you come? Little brother, you came over when you were in a daze just now." When he left, Shi Xuan knew that Yan Jujian was originally Gu Juejian's junior brother, who also lived in Sword Cliff, and at that time he secretly slandered in his heart, this master's name kung fu was simply worse than his own.

Shi Xuan's words Xu Ping blushed for a while, he did have a white dream just now, hmph, this young Taoist doesn't look very old, he actually calls me little brother! However, seeing that Shi Xuan's demeanor and demeanor are extraordinary, Xu Ping also doesn't want to speak evilly: "I don't know who this little Taoist leader is looking for? ”

"Poor Dao is here to find an old man named Yan Jujian, I don't know where he is? "For Shi Xuan, it was very easy to sneak into the Sword Cliff to find Yan Giant Sword, but it was asking for trouble, and it was better to ask directly.

Xu Ping sighed: "It turns out that the Daoist is here to find Uncle Yan's ancestor, but Uncle Yan has been dead for five years, and the Daoist doesn't know?"

Shi Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, although he was a little surprised, but it was reasonable, twenty years ago, Yan Giant Sword was already fifty and two, and when he was young and middle-aged, he was injured too much, and he damaged his origin, and it was normal to only live to be sixty-seven years old, but Shi Xuan was still a little melancholy in his heart, speaking of which, Yan Giant Sword was the most determined to seek the Tao except for Chu Xuan'er, a child who had nothing else, but unfortunately he died before his ambition was paid, and Shi Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't know where Yan Giant Sword is buried? Sighing, Shi Xuan asked, as Yan Jujian's nominal uncle, but actually the master, in the past, Shangzhu incense was also considered to be due.

Xu Ping first replied casually: "Uncle Yan's ancestor is buried in Jian Xuan. Then he immediately came to his senses: "But these Taoist leaders, you can't go to the incense, there is a sword discussion going on." ”

It's a pity that he didn't hear Shi Xuan's tone of request, but a statement of speech. So he saw a faint light flashing in Shi Xuan's eyes, and the whole person became dizzy: "Then I'll take the Taoist Master forward." After saying that, he immediately turned around and led the way.

Shi Xuan silently followed behind Xu Ping and went to Bury Sword Xuan, and the other Sword Cliff disciples did not come up to interrogate along the way, because these are the Sword Conference, and it is inevitable that some famous people and hidden masters on the rivers and lakes will come to participate in the battle or watch the battle, and Shi Xuan has Xu Ping to lead the way, and those disciples have misunderstood.

............

Buried in the Sword Xuan, the sword field before the tombs of the masters of the Sword Cliff dynasties was full of people.

Ten years ago, the incident happened suddenly, many famous people in the rivers and lakes did not know, so only the five great masters themselves participated, after ten years, the sword conference has been widely known, many hidden masters, new grandmasters have come to the meeting, and they each brought their own disciples, plus some well-connected people in the rivers and lakes, the number of people in the sword field is dozens of times more than ten years ago.

Changhe Luo said that after Zuo Xingqi defeated a new grandmaster, he won with a half-move advantage Master Zhixiu smiled, and now it was the time to be complacent, and his thin and gloomy face also showed a smile, and said to the two remaining grandmasters, Heavenly Sword Gu Juejian and Iron Fist Li Shenfan: "Today, Zuo wants to see who is the number one master in the world!"

As soon as these words came out, his disciples, entourage, and friends were all proud, and they all spoke out to help Zuo Xingqi.

Li Shenfan looked at his fist affectionately and said with a smile: "Zuo Lao'er, you have fought two battles in a row, Li doesn't want to take advantage of you, you can rest, and after Li and Gu seniors have a showdown, I will fight with you again." "Ten years ago, he was defeated by Gu Juejian, which made Li Shenfan have more respect for him.

Of course, Gu Juejian also meant this, nodded and said: "What Gang Master Li said is extremely true, Brother Zuo, you should rest for a while, and wait for the two of us to divide the winner." ”

The Quanqian Gang, the Sword Cliff disciples, and other onlookers in the martial arts were all amazed by the open-mindedness of these two grandmasters.

Zuo Xingqi is not a fool, he is indeed a little tired after the two battles, and he said: "Then Zuo Mou is here to watch first, don't let Zuo Mou wait too long." Then retreat to the sidelines of the road leading to the graves of the masters of Sword Cliff to breathe.

The scene gradually calmed down, and they were all holding their breath for the battle between the two great grandmasters, when someone suddenly shouted: "Eh, Xu Ping, how do you go to the Sword Field?!"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes focused on the entrance of the Buried Sword Xuan, and they saw a Sword Cliff disciple with a young man, walking towards the Sword Arena without hesitation, they didn't seem to be fast, but the strange thing was that those Sword Cliff disciples who wanted to stop them couldn't catch up.

Li Shenfan looked at the young man, his pupils contracted slightly, and then quietly retreated a few steps and made way for him, only Zuo Xingqi was still standing there so unruly, he didn't think anyone could make him retreat.

In the blink of an eye, the Sword Cliff disciple and the young man walked up to Gu Juejian, and Gu Juejian asked, "I don't know who the visitor is, what is the matter with the old man?" Xu Ping?"

But the young man and the Sword Cliff disciple didn't seem to hear it at all, and their footsteps kept passing over Gu Juejian and continued to go behind, making Gu Juejian a little stunned for a while, what are you here for?

Soon, the two walked in front of Zuo Xingqi, because Zuo Xingqi happened to be in the way of the intersection, so the two stopped. I saw Zuo Xingqi say in a deep voice without evading: "Are the two of you here to find Zuo?"

The young man said lightly: "You are in the way of Shi, please let go." Shi Xuan didn't want to fly over, walking was a little respect for Yan Giant Sword.

Zuo Xing Qiyuan glared at his eyes and said incredulously: "Blocking the way?" This is simply a big joke, so I am sure that this is here to find fault. He's never been a good guy, and once he's sure of it, he's the first to strike.

With a wave of Shi Xuan's robe, Zuo Xingqi flew out three zhang away, rolling on the ground and humming painfully, trying to get up but couldn't stand up.

This unbelievable scene made the scene fall silent for a moment, and I watched Shi Xuan and Xu Ping disappear into the path in the grave.

............

"Dao Chief, that is where the tomb of Uncle Yan's ancestor is located. Xu Ping pointed to a tomb not far away.

Shi Xuan nodded, withdrew the spell, and walked over. Xu Ping was clever, his head shook, and he suddenly came to his senses, and then found that he was in the grave group, so frightened that he was cold, and he screamed and hit the ghost, and he didn't dare to go back to the ground.

Slowly walked to the grave of Yan Giant Sword, Shi Xuan casually picked up the three residual incense sticks next to him, and then lit them and put them away, only then did he look at the tombstone of Yan Giant Sword.

I saw that the tombstone read: "The tomb of the giant sword surnamed Senior Brother Yan, Senior Brother Gu Juejian stands solemnly." After that, there was a series of inscriptions, and it was not until the end that he wrote: "There are a few words left by the junior brother before his death, which are now engraved here: 'Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, can't meet uncle, ten years early, hate, young and frivolous, and don't know how to love himself! Third, hatred is true, and it is already close to longevity! I only wish that I could get a glimpse of the avenue in the next life! Disciple Nantian is ashamed of my uncle!'"

Shi Xuan sighed and said slowly, "It's a pity. With a sigh, Shi Xuan turned into a clear light and left. Yan Jujian's last words made Shi Xuan feel deeply, the road of the Immortal Dao, there is really no mercy to talk about, chance and hard work are indispensable, otherwise even if your Dao heart is firm, when Shouyuan is approaching, you can only lament in vain. In the same way, we must also take precautions and take care of ourselves.

Now that he has both the opportunity and the longevity, if he is slack, it will really not even be comparable to Yan Giant Sword, the master and nephew, and these words will be a wake-up call on the road ahead in the future.

"It's a pity. ”

"It's a pity. ”

"It's a pity. ”

......

When Gu Juejian arrived with his disciples, there seemed to be this sigh echoing in the wind.
