Ten thousand years ago, a strange fire fell from the sky in the dark continent, ten thousand trees withered, the iceberg melted, and people and animals were extinguished, this fire burned for nine hundred and eighty-one years, and finally the fire was extinguished, and the core of the spherical fire turned into a sharp sword, called the holy sword. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Legend has won the world with this sword, but no one knows where it is buried, let alone see its true face, even if it traces the source of this legend, it is often fruitless.

However, many people believe in this legend, and many people have tried to find it, although no one succeeded, but they still went forward and followed, and even produced a lot of ironic grudges, and it was not uncommon to fight for a sword that had never been seen before.

10,000 years have passed, people's interest in the legend has declined, just as a conversation after dinner, few people to organize sword hunting activities, no direction of things, but not hard work can be done, if the direction is reversed, can only go in the opposite direction, from the goal is getting farther and farther away.

There is a river on the border of the Dark Continent called the Near-Heaven River. The Jintian River originates from the Grand Canyon and flows into the sea from west to east. Across the Near-Heaven River, which is thousands of miles wide, is the frozen continent. Since a hundred years ago, it has snowed half of the year on the frozen continent, and due to the continuous adaptation to the environment, people have gradually become accustomed to it, and the new generation has not seen the previous world, so basically no one has any questions about why there is so much snow in the sky.

Mingliang is a little fat man, his parents died, he was not very old, he began to work for his livelihood, his ideal is very simple, he hopes that he will grow up soon, grow stronger, and he can go into the mountains to cut down trees as soon as possible, he hopes to cut down a lot of trees, sell them for a lot of money, as for how much is a lot, he has no concept in his heart, after all, he is only eight years old, he can only go to the woods near his home to collect firewood, or go to the same boring Shen Bing to play.

Shen Bing is a few months older than Mingming, and his ideal is certainly not to cut down more trees when he grows up, he wants to go to the outside world to take a look and explore how big the frozen continent really is. However, his dream at this stage is to be qualified to take and pass the entrance selection exam of the Ethereal Sect.

As a child from an ordinary poor family, he couldn't afford to bribe the admissions staff, and it was difficult to convince the master in charge of admissions from the Ethereal Sect, after all, only children with high talent could be specially recruited, otherwise they could only pass the exam. The difficulty for him is that he is not eligible to take the exam. A long time ago, there was no question of whether they were qualified or not, as long as they wanted, they could participate, not once, they could continue to participate when they went home and worked hard for a year, there were many people who did not pass the exam, or were recruited, the reason is that they have a pious attitude, although they have no qualifications, but their sincerity is commendable, and they are often arranged to do some miscellaneous work, which is not bad compared to the days of hunger and cold all year round.

In the past few years, Mr. Void, the head of the Ethereal Sect, has been practicing in retreat, and the people below have taken the opportunity to make some extra money, so there is a review of examination qualifications.

Shen Bing's family is poor, and he wants to go, but he has never told his mother, he doesn't want to make his mother uncomfortable. When my mother gave birth to Shen Bing, it was just in time for the season of heavy snowfall, and her nutrition did not keep up, and she was frozen again, and her health has not been good. This is also the norm for nearly half of the mothers around the Ethereal Peak, but whenever they catch up with the snow and give birth to children in the half year, except for the particularly good physique, they have more or less fallen into some diseases. In fact, it is not a serious illness, if the weather gets warmer, it is easy to heal, but unfortunately this snow is half a year, it will only get colder and colder, and when the warm season comes next year, it has been sick for a long time. Shen Bing hates this cold weather, everything is withering, if there is no surplus food in the dry season, even eating will be a problem, he wants to change this bad weather.

However, every time he talked to his mother, his mother would touch his head and say, "Silly boy, how can people change the weather, everything is fate." ”

Every time he sent Liu Langzhong away from the town, Shen Bing felt very sad in his heart, Liu Langzhong also shook his head and gradually walked away, he had seen too much of such a family, and at first he tried to rely on medical skills to diagnose and treat those sick mothers, but gradually, he gave up this idea, and his life was in the sky. But no matter who goes to him, he will still go, and the doctor will sometimes waive some medical expenses.

This time, when Liu Langzhong was diagnosed and treated, he had been carefully observing Shen Bing's mother's face, and he stopped talking a few times, and gently patted Shen Bing's head before leaving. After a long time, Shen Bing understood what Liu Langzhong meant, it turned out that his mother's time was running out.

As time went by, his mother's health became worse and worse, and Shen Bing didn't want to make his mother sad, so he had to stand for a while every time he arrived at the door, adjust his emotions before entering the door, and always speak softly to his mother, revealing his innocent virginity, but in fact he had already begun to have something on his mind. After waiting for his mother to sleep, he went out to find Bright.

When he came to Mingming's house, he found that Mingliang was not at home, so he went directly to the grove at the edge of the village, and he deduced that Mingliang had gone to the woods to collect firewood again.

Shen Bing came to the grove and began to shout Mingming's name, but there was no response.

"Where has the little fat man been today, and he won't tell me a word!" he thought to himself.

Walking around the woods, he didn't find any sign of Bright, but his instinct told him that Bright was nearby. So he went a little further. To the east of the woods was a river that he had never crossed, and because he was too young to walk on the rope bridge, let alone wade through.

He walked to the edge of the rope bridge and looked at the rushing river under the bridge, and his brain was a little dizzy. After watching it a few times, it felt terrible, and when I saw that the time was not early, I was ready to go home. It was at this time that he heard a call.

"Brother Bing, save me!" was clearly a bright voice.

He turned his head and saw Mingliang standing on the other side of the bridge, so he rubbed his eyes: there was no one there just now!

Seeing that it was bright, he hurriedly walked to the rope bridge, the rope bridge was shaky, and it was not stable, so he grabbed the rope chain tightly and walked over step by step. When he reached the other side of the bridge, he realized that he had unknowingly accomplished a feat: he finally dared to cross the rope bridge. But at this time, he was not in the mood to express his feelings, he was in a hurry to brighten his side.

Mingliang stood by a rock, his little face flushed, and there were still undried tears on his face, apparently he had just cried.

Shen Bing asked, "Why did you come here, hurry up and go back with me!" After speaking, he went to take the fat man's hand.

Mingliang also grabbed Shen Bing's hand tightly, as if a drowning man had grabbed a life-saving straw. However, he did not move, but snorted into the grass beside the stone. When he looked at the fat man's line of sight, he found a person lying in the grass.

The Taoist priest was dressed in a gray robe, which was already a little torn. The man's nose is extraordinary, and after looking at it for a long time, he feels a little crazy, he doesn't feel like a human nose, his face is dark, and he seems to be lacking in blood. Beside him was a long sword, the blade of which was somewhat mutilated, presumably it had just experienced a fierce fight, and strangely, the sword was cold, as if it was frozen.

"Who is this person?" asked Shen Bing.

"I didn't know, he could fly!" Mingliang said.

It turned out that Mingliang had lunch, and when he woke up from sleep, he went to the woods, naturally to collect firewood, but suddenly a big ice snake flew and swept him away, followed by a Taoist priest, they began to fight when they reached the river, I don't know how long it took, the ice snake rolled up Mingliang again, but this time it flew very slowly, it seemed to be seriously injured, the Taoist priest was still chasing, and the speed was obviously reduced. After that, they didn't fly anymore, but they were still fighting.

Seeing that the Taoist priest was about to win, he stabbed it with a sword, and the sword in mid-air turned into a whirlwind blowing over, and the ice snake could not dodge, so he rolled the bright light over, and at the same time secretly lucked the cold air, concentrated in his mouth. It calculates that the Taoist priest will withdraw his hand to avoid harming the innocent, but once the Void Sword Technique is shot, it cannot be withdrawn, unless the sword maker sucks back half of the sword qi and suffers from it, but the other half of the sword qi still cannot be withdrawn and will be applied to the sword recipient, so theoretically no one will stop. But the ice snake seemed to have guessed that the Taoist priest would stop it, and it would be the same whether he stopped it anyway. If he kills that child, he is not qualified to say anything about eradicating demons for Tianxingdao, and if he doesn't want to kill that child, he can only die with him.

"A decent name kills people, you have to set so many rules and regulations for yourself, you can't kill innocents indiscriminately, now put yourself in it!" Ice Snake sneered. It is not worth it for a Taoist priest, and a grandmaster of a dignified sect is going to die under his own sword. "If it were me, I would kill people and kill people, and abandon the corpse in the wilderness, who would know. Ice Snake thought to himself.

"You pride yourself on being upright, and if you don't kill innocents indiscriminately, will I kill innocents indiscriminately? How can I ever kill a good person?" The ice snake was used to being wronged, so he didn't bother to explain, even if he encountered this once-in-a-millennium enemy, he knew that he was going to die at his hands, and he didn't argue at all. If it really kills innocents indiscriminately, how many people can it kill along the way, not to mention anything else, this little fat man must have died a long time ago.

It was the desire to survive that made it get out of this despicable move, many times, it had no way, in order to survive, had to do some disgraceful things, seeing that the Taoist priest was about to die here, the ice snake also had a trace of desolation in his heart, after all, the Taoist priest was the head of the ethereal faction, Mr. Void, and he had done a lot of things to benefit the people in his life. But at the moment of your death, it also doesn't want to give up thousands of years of practice.

Seeing that the sword qi was about to reach the bright hour, the Taoist priest made a difficult decision: to withdraw the sword qi. At the same time, he threw a long sword. Everything was as the Ice Serpent had expected, and it began to hesitate to add a piece of Ice True Qi to the Daoist.

However, in the midst of the lightning and flint, the Taoist priest stepped forward with an arrow step and pushed the sword qi away from its original direction and returned to its original position, if it weren't for a master like the Ice Snake, it would not be obvious that the Taoist priest had moved.

The ice snake secretly screamed badly, and had already fallen to the ground in response, and the cold ice true qi in its mouth also flew out, because it was not a spontaneous move, the true qi had no sense of direction, and all fell on the long sword of the Taoist priest, and the long sword was frozen into ice in an instant.

"It's a pity that this empty sword technique is probably going to be lost. The Taoist priest was very annoyed. He was almost about to practice to the highest level, but at the critical moment, he discovered that the ice snake was infested, so he had to go out of the customs first to kill the ice snake. The highest level of the Void Sword Technique is a move space-time enchantment, as soon as this move comes out, space-time seems to be static, and the other person's sword is one, and it can attack many targets at the same time, and if the speed is fast enough, it can theoretically attack an infinite number of targets at the same time.

However, now he has only practiced halfway, and the human sword has not yet been united, although the body can follow the sword qi for a short time, but it will still return to its original position, if it is practiced, he can do whatever he wants, and wherever he goes, the human sword is united, turning into sword qi, killing the enemy in an instant. If he didn't practice, he would have died by his own sword!

Before Mingliang could understand what was happening, he saw that the Taoist priest and the ice snake had fallen to the ground, so he had to continue crying to dispel the fear and doubts in his heart, after all, it was not a fun thing to be swept around in the sky by an ice snake.

"What now, Brother Bing?" Mingliang asked, releasing long-accumulated urine into the grass, and splashed a lot of it on the ice snake.

"Damn fatty!" the ice snake cursed inwardly, apparently not dead yet.

"I think this Taoist priest seems to be seriously injured, why don't we take him home!" Shen Bing said. But as soon as he finished speaking, he knew that it would not work, and with the strength of the two of them, he could not drag the Taoist priest at all.

He glanced at the ice snake, a little frightened in his heart, but couldn't help but take a closer look, after all, he had never seen such a strange big snake, its whole body was crystal clear, and the snow was flawless. When he looked closer, he found that there was a butterfly tattoo on the ice snake, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch the tattoo, feeling the ice snake tremble. The ice snake's body was very cold, and it seemed to have hot air, seeing that it didn't move, Shen Bing stroked its whole body, and instigated the fat man to touch it too, but the fat man didn't dare.

Since it is a snake, let it be buried in the river! Shen Bing picked up the ice snake, slowly put its corpse into the rapid river, and before letting go, he touched the butterfly tattoo again, and seemed to feel a trace of warmth.

Mingliang obeyed Shen Bing's command, went to pick up a lot of branches, built a fence around the Taoist priest, and built a small shed for him in the fence to prevent the beast from eating the Taoist priest by mistake.

It was getting late, and they didn't dare to stay long, but they discussed bringing him some food tomorrow.

However, when they arrived at the river the next day, they found that the Taoist priest had long since disappeared, leaving only a gold coin and a talisman in the shed.
