Chapter Twenty-Three: The So-Called Sword Immortal
When I was on this side of Langya Mountain, there was a very powerful man in black who came over to find Chang Wuxi, and the two seemed to have known each other for a long time!
According to their words, they had known each other ten years ago, and they looked like they were no longer in their prime, which made me wonder how old they really were. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the two of them said something that I didn't understand at all, Chang Wuji called me and went deep into the primeval forest area west of Xiangyang.
After entering a deep part of the forest area, and arriving at a dark cave hidden in the forest, Chang Wuxian solemnly asked me to say that I would not tell what I had seen and heard today.
I'm not a talkative person, and I won't be stupid enough to say this kind of thing that I know has amazing secrets at a glance.
After I promised, I went into the cave with Long Traceless.
Because the man in black lit a torch and went in to light us, we wouldn't be able to see the way if we followed up.
As soon as I entered the hole, I felt a chill, a chill that seeped into people's hearts, and I couldn't help but shiver.
By the light of the torches, I saw the rough marks of knives and axes on the stone walls of the cave, and those who wanted to get out of the cave were also in a hurry, so they just played with it.
It was dark and dead in the cave, except for the sound of our footsteps coming in, except for the faint sound of dripping water coming from the cave.
Tick, tick, tick......
Digging deeper into the cave, I realized that this cave is not a simple thing, and the person who built this cave has definitely hollowed out this mountain!
At last I walked to the end of the cave and entered an open, open place, where I saw the man in black with a torch and set it on fire.
When he planted the torch in a recess in the mountain wall, the cave was illuminated by what he had lit.
As soon as the light appeared, I looked around again and saw something that made me stunned and even horrified.
As I had thought, the man who built the cave had indeed hollowed out the mountain from the bottom up.
After entering from the not very wide passage, there was a large space, and there were many torches inserted on the stone walls around it, plus the one inserted by the man in black before, which made up a half circle of nine.
The light emitted by the torches illuminates the entire space in the belly of the mountain, and a huge figure is carved out of the mountain on the half of the stone wall where there are no torches.
This person is like a handsome man, dressed in fine clothes, with a sword hanging from his waist, and a magnificent demeanor.
His eyes were slightly closed, his expression seemed to be lazy, as if casual, and he had a sense of naturalness, and there was an undoubted dignity and a taste of sharpness and daring to fight between his eyebrows.
He remained standing at this time, pressing the scabbard with one hand and the hilt with the other, making a sword drawing motion.
Although it was only a carved stone statue, I felt a sense of horror when I saw the sword on his waist.
And there is some indescribable charm in this stone statue, which makes this stone statue seem to be no different from a living one.
What made me even more horrified was that there was a sword stuck in the chest of this tall stone statue on top of this majestic and mighty statue.
When I saw this sword, I had a feeling in my heart that it was definitely inserted after the statue was completed, and it was not a short time since the statue was completed, and it was not short from our time now.
When I looked at this stone statue with great shock in my heart, the man in black and the man in black also looked like this, looking at the stone statue motionless.
From their afterglow, I read the meaning of remembrance and yearning, and it seems that they have a relationship with this stone statue, or the sword inserted in the stone statue.
"For many years, every time I see this thing, I still feel so emotional!"
When the man in black spoke, it was rare that Chang Wuxian did not mean to contradict him, and said with emotion: "Yes, the last time I came here, it was ten years ago, and it felt like it happened yesterday." ”
Seeing that these two people were lamenting their lives, I didn't have the idea of interjecting, and my eyes scanned the stone statue to see if there was anything other than the sword.
A glance at it really made me see something.
Not far from the edge of the head of the stone statue, there are some strange patterns engraved, which do not resemble the current seal inscription.
But not far below these patterns, there are some strange characters, which are different from the patterns above, similar to the current seal scripts, but plausible.
Just as I was wondering what these patterns were, Long Traceless spoke to me,
"Brother Xian, this stone statue was built hundreds of years before the appearance of the Three Great Sword Sects, and the sword on the stone statue was inserted during the formation of the Three Great Sword Sects, and it has been hundreds of years ago!"
Listening to him talk about the history of the stone statue, I asked, "Big brother, do you know what the two words on the side of the stone statue mean?"
As soon as I asked like this, before Chang Wuxian could speak, the man in black said, "This person is known as the first person in the history of swords, Ling Shuo Sword Immortal!"
From the words of the man in black, I heard an extreme fanaticism and yearning, daring to call the sword immortal, this person is indeed the first person in the history of swords.
Just as my heart was stirring, the man in black continued: "Boy, have you heard of the Sword Sutra?"
I nodded and replied, "I'm glad I heard that!"
The man in black smiled: "Yes, the strength is too poor, and the knowledge is not too shallow." ”
When I heard this man's words that seemed to be complimenting, I suddenly didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he probably wanted to express the praise, but when it fell to my ears, how did it sound like sarcasm......
"Do you know why the number one sword technique on the Sword Sutra is empty?"
When he said this, I naturally didn't know, the "Sword Sutra" was inquired about from the dust and rain not long ago.
He didn't mean to let me answer, so he said, "Because the number one sword technique is the sword technique that Ling Shuo Sword Immortal cultivated at the beginning!"
"Back then, after Ling Shuo Sword Immortal broke through the Peerless, he shattered the void and flew away. Ling Shuo Sword Immortal has no children or disciples in his life, and the sword technique he has cultivated has not left a inheritance, so this first is naturally empty!"
The words of the man in black made me stunned for a moment, what the hell!
If it is said that Ling Shuo Sword Immortal has broken through the Peerless Realm, I can still accept this.
Although today's kendo is only divided into nine realms: sword chopping, qi sword, entry, condensation, small cheng, sword base, great completion, pinnacle, and unequaled, I have always believed that there is a higher realm behind unequaled, but no one has reached it yet!
Just like the old man has always instilled in me, there is no strongest, only stronger, there is no best, only better.
But this kind of thing is not nonsense, isn't it nonsense, is this Ling Shuo Sword Immortal really become an immortal, how can this kind of talk feel like nonsense......
I don't believe it!
The man in black seemed to have expected his attitude towards me, and said with a smile: "Boy, do you think that such a thing as a broken void becoming an immortal is fake! After all, there are only a few people in this world who know that there is such a person as Ling Shuo Sword Immortal. ”
I nodded, agreed with his words, and said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, broken into immortals, immortality, too ethereal, I'm afraid it's not true!"
The man in black smiled mockingly at my words and said, "Do you believe in fortune telling? Do you believe that I can see something that ordinary people can't see!"
When he said this, I was speechless.
What he said also has some truth, my cheap big brother's fortune-telling without a trace is not just talking.
Since I believe that fortune-telling without a trace is true, how can I say that it is false to become an immortal......
Seeing that I didn't speak, he was more like asking and answering himself, and said: "When the cultivation reaches the point of perfection and unparalleled in the world, not only can you prolong your life, but it is really not impossible to break the void or something!"
"I have always believed that after Ling Shuo Sword Immortal reached the realm beyond the peerless, he ascended here and left this stone statue, do you feel the charm in this stone statue? This is the miracle left by Ling Shuo Sword Immortal......
Looking at the man in black who is getting more and more emotional, I really don't know what to say, it seems that he has been yearning for becoming an immortal!
At this moment, Chang Wuxian on the side also spoke, obviously talking about the man in black.
"You can think of this kind of thing yourself, so why bother telling him!"
When Chang Wuxian said this, the man in black was a little displeased, and replied to him, "Senior brother, you don't expect immortality, why do you always want to stop me!"
Don't say I don't know, I was really shocked when I said it, this man in black and Chang Wuxian are actually senior brothers, I really don't know what kind of master can train such two disciples......
When it came to the issue of immortality, Chang Wuxi's emotions exploded again, and he only heard him shouting at the man in black: "I'm not stopping you, but I don't want you to be intoxicated with shattering the void into an immortal, step into karma, and commit sins!"
The man in black was silent for a moment, and then said, "I won't step into karma, and I won't commit sins, senior brother, you look down on me too much!"
"Haha......"
It seemed that he heard something very good, but Chang Wuxian looked up and laughed, although he was laughing, but this laughter made me feel a little cold.
"I look down on you, when did I look down on you! Since you entered the master's sect, you have been called a demonic asset by the master, and you have even more stable control over me in terms of cultivation, but why does the master only allow you to enter this place three times, but I am afraid that you will go further and further on this road!"
The man in black shook his head in disbelief at Chang Wuxi's words, and shouted: "That's not the case! The master is just favoring you as his own son, so he handed this place over to you, hoping that one day you will be able to break through the Flying Ascension Dao!"
"Senior brother, you are wrong to blame the master!"
The man in black laughed miserably and shouted, "I didn't, I didn't ......"
At this moment, he suddenly made a move on Chang Wuji, and I saw his figure flicker, and then appeared in front of Chang Wuji, and his palm fell.
It can be said that he was attacked by a man in black, and he didn't have any intention of dealing with it, so he was smashed on the chest by this palm.
With a bang, Chang Wuxian was hit by a palm and flew out, hitting the stone wall hard, and vomiting blood in his mouth.
Knocking Chang Wuxian into the air, the man in black seemed to have seen something strange, and the expression on his face became extremely strange.
"Why don't you fight back!"
A pale smile appeared on his face as he fell over there, and while coughing up blood, he said to the man in black, "Ahem...... Because you're my junior brother!"
"You ......"
Seeing the man in black frowning, he didn't seem to know what to say, and after a while, he soothed his frowning brows and said to Chang Wuji: "This is my first time coming back, I will come back often in the future, don't stop me from coming in!"
Chang Wuxian shook his head at the man and said, "Master has an order, you are only allowed to come in three times! The fourth time you come, I will definitely stop you!"
The man in black sneered at Chang Wuxi's words and said, "Yes, my senior brother!
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the sleeve of the man in black shook, and a wind swept out, instantly extinguishing all the torches in the cave, and the others disappeared at this time.
Seeing this man who was so powerful that he was almost invincible in the world left, I was a little relieved in my heart, but I compared him with the old man.
Who is stronger, he or the old man?
While I was speculating about this, Chang Wuxian said to me in the dark, "Brother Xian, let's go out!"
"Good!"
