Chapter 47: The Old Man in the Sword
The three of them bypassed the thunder pool and came to the back of the cave.
In the innermost part of the cave, the three of them found a shallow pool, in which there were several springs, slowly bubbling out of the water, and this pool through a very shallow, very thin ravine, the thunder in the thunder pool was introduced into the pool.
"The lion king must have used this method to absorb the thunder in the thunder pool. Ji Fan glanced at Zheng Hu.
Zheng Hu nodded.
Ji Fan took out the nameless and wanted to test the strength of the thunder and lightning in this pool.
If the lightning intensity is not very high, maybe he can still use it to quench his body.
As soon as Nameless touched the pool, an incredible scene occurred. The water in the pond actually flowed slowly, gradually forming a whirlpool.
"Your sword is absorbing thunder. Zheng Hu said incredulously.
Ji Fan also felt it, he was holding a nameless hand, his senses were clearer than Zheng Hu, to be precise, it was not the sword that was absorbing the thunder, but the sword spirit in it was devouring the thunder, and Ji Fan also felt that the speed of devouring was getting faster and faster.
In a few breaths, the whirlpool expanded to the entire surface of the water, and even the thunder pool was affected, and countless thunderbolts were drawn.
"Zheng Hu, stay away from me, I was sucked by this sword. Ji Fan roared.
Nameless has helped him a lot along the way, and it has become more and more convenient to use, but what Ji Fan didn't expect was that today would bring disaster to him.
Looking at the thunder rushing towards the pool, Ji Fan barely condensed a layer of spiritual power light on the surface of his body.
But he really didn't feel enough, if he touched those thunders, he would be annihilated in an instant.
Just when Ji Fan was desperate, Nameless actually reacted, with a "buzz", the hilt of the sword trembled vigorously, and then Ji Fan felt a huge force hit his body, and his whole person flew out, hit the stone wall, and felt a dizziness in his head.
......
Ji Fan opened his eyes, and an old man appeared in front of him, Ji Fan shook his head in disbelief, but after repeating it several times, the scene in front of him did not change at all, especially the old man was still staring at him at this time.
"Where is this?" Ji Fan stared at the old man with a wary expression.
"In the sword. ”
"You're not framing me, how can I be in the sword. Ji Fan's face was ugly, and the old man in front of him was really weird.
"Don't believe it?" the old man waved his hand, and a picture scroll appeared in front of Ji Fan.
In the picture scroll, Nameless hung above the thunder pool, constantly absorbing the thunder, and he and Xu Ying all fell next to the pool in the thunder pool.
"They were all knocked unconscious by me, and you were drained by me with a trace of your soul, so you are in the sword. The old man explained.
"You're hiding in the nameless, you're the sword spirit?"
The old man shook his head.
"You kid. Along the way, I think you are also alert, but I didn't expect to be so stupid today. The white-bearded old man said dissatisfied.
"I forgot, someone mentioned to me before that the sword spirit doesn't seem to have a human form yet. Ji Fan suddenly became a little embarrassed.
"It's not that the sword spirits don't have a form, it's that they don't want to transform into that form, and they can't be called killing machines, nor are they born to fight. ”
"The sword spirit doesn't want to be like us. ”
"You don't understand, the form of the Thunder Three-Eyed Lion is more suitable for battle than the human form, do you understand?" the white-bearded old man explained angrily.
Ji Fan nodded hurriedly, he just heard Gu Qinyuan say that the sword spirit has no form, and now he understands that this is the truth.
Ji Fan pondered for a moment and said nervously, "Then what are you bringing me here for?"
"I want to make a deal with you. The old man stared at Ji Fan, his face calm.
"What deal?"
"I will use the last of these powers to help you get out of trouble, and you can help me do something. ”
"Let's talk about it first, what the hell is going on!" Ji Fan looked at this old guy with a strange expression, he didn't know why this guy appeared in this sword, and he could still stare at himself all the way.
That sounds a little creepy.
"I know the doubts in your heart, and I can also confess to you that I am the master of this sword. But now, I am almost dissipating in this heaven and earth, and you can still see me today, all thanks to the power of this thunder. The old man's voice seemed to be a little weak, as if he was a little weak.
Ji Fan's complexion finally eased at this time, but he was still unwilling to let his guard down. He wanted to know what the old man was going to make with him, but the old man's performance was not enough to gain his trust.
"I'm a Guardian just like you. Knowing that it was not enough to verify his identity, the old man's face was calm, and he said softly, "I also know Chinese characters, and I can practice the above Dao method." ”
The old man raised his fingers, and the thunder in the space converged towards the old man.
"The invisible sword. Ji Fan exclaimed in surprise, and he felt the familiar fluctuations above.
Seeing that Ji Fan recognized the Dao technique he used, the old man hurriedly gave up condensation, and then looked at Ji Fan with a smile, looking like you should believe me this time.
Ji Fan scratched his head helplessly and said respectfully, "Senior." ”
"Now that my identity has been proven, let's talk about my conditions!"
"My conditions are very simple, I want you to get the sword that was taken away by the Huang family, and then give that sword to your little girlfriend. The old man glanced at Ji Fan.
"No, I can't promise you, even if you're a Guardian. Ji Fan said angrily, he thought that the old man wanted him to take revenge on the Sixteen Families or something, but he never expected that this guy would pay attention to Yue'er.
If the sword of the Huang family is the same as Nameless, and there is an old ghost hidden in it, then it is still necessary? Ji Fan decisively refused, this kind of thing is not negotiable.
Seeing Ji Fan's direct refusal, the old man was not the slightest surprised. just smiled, as if he was cautious about Ji Fan in his heart, with some affirmation.
"Actually, it's just a small wish of mine, and that sword is the sword of a friend of mine. The old man seemed to be beginning to recall something, but Ji Fan didn't say anything.
"I have two very good friends in my life. One is called Qingluan, and the other is the old guy you saw in the ruins before, his name is Ling Jian.
I'm not a sword cultivator, but I like Nameless. My sword skills are above Ling's sword. I won't say much about that.
Qingluan is the youngest of the three of us, but also the most stubborn one, after the death of our guardian leader Shoushen, Qingluan killed the Huang family alone, but he didn't expect that the Huang family was still lurking in four or five families at that time, and in the end she was also left behind.
Ling Jian and I failed to save her, and wanted to destroy the Huang family and avenge her, but the Sixteen Families could not be shaken by the two of us, Ling Jian escaped with me, but he couldn't escape far.
We had no choice but to put a piece of the spirit into a weapon or a secret treasure to let them escape and find a suitable successor for us.
Of course, these heirs are generally guardians. ”
The old man talked about the past, his face was complicated, and Ji Fan saw a trace of loneliness on his face.
"Why are you telling me this. ”
"It can be said that this is not a transaction, the war has been over for so long, I think there may be no guardians in this world, but seeing you, Ling Jian and I both see hope.
Ling Jian is reluctant to say more to you, I hope you will find your own mission, but my thoughts are different from his.
When you walk here, you also find that after the cave collapses, it is a dead cave, and you can't get out. But the nameless sword spirit devoured the thunder and gave me a part of the energy, giving me a trace of strength. Although this power is not even one percent of what I have cultivated before, it is able to lead you out of this predicament.
Speaking of which, do you understand? Do you think about every step you have taken before, does there have a fixed direction? Actually, your little girlfriend is too.
In the future, your little girlfriend, she is destined to be on your side, which is why I considered handing over Qingluan's sword to her.
Of course, you have to see that sword first, and at that time, I don't know if you can see Qingluan, after all, after so many years in the Huang family, the sword spirit's protection ability is also limited. The old man sighed.
Ji Fan understood the meaning, and this transaction was completely on his side. His identity means that along the way, these guardians will help him and protect him after knowing his existence.
"If I don't agree to the deal, you'll take us out too, won't you?" Ji Fan said with a smile.
The old man glanced at Ji Fan, "That's right, but I don't think you will refuse my request." ”
"Why are you so sure?"
"That sword falling into her hand will only help her increase her combat power, and there will be no harm. ”
"She's a member of the Sixteen Families. Ji Fan looked at the old man and smiled.
"She likes you, I can tell, to be honest, she doesn't have a family behind her, and the relationship between you has long been decided, and it's not a friendship at all. ”
"She's special. It's very similar to Qingluan, very stubborn. ”
Ji Fan noticed that the old man always talked about Qingluan, his friend, and his face was always with nostalgia. He had to think in the direction of the old man's crush.
The old man saw Ji Fan looking at him with a strange face, as if he realized that the emotions revealed in this sentence just now were too complicated, and then straightened his face and calmed down again.
"If you really don't want to, then forget it, in the end, you can be called the inheritance of my mantle, but don't let Qingluan's sword be used by the Huang family. She didn't want that. ”
Ji Fan nodded, "If I have the chance, I can show Yue'er that sword, but if she doesn't accept it, I can't help it." ”
"If she refuses, I will find the master of the sword again. ”
The old man was very satisfied with Ji Fan's answer, "This is the best, I was a little forced before." ”
"Now that the deal is negotiated, the time is almost up, I'll make a move, let's send you out!"
The old man waved his hand, and Ji Fan felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and his consciousness returned to his body, and he had control of his body.
......
Leaning on to sit up, Ji Fan's right hand inadvertently touched the nameless beside him.
"This sword ......" Gripping the hilt of the sword, Ji Fan seemed to feel that there was a living creature in the sword, and there was thunder and light flowing on the sword body.
Ji Fan turned his head to see that Lei Tan had disappeared.
Nameless fully absorbed the power of thunder and lightning, and the thunder pool disappeared as a result. The old man glanced at the empty thunder pool and explained.
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered when you show up like this?" Ji Fan said worriedly.
"I'm actually still in the Sword Spirit, and you can see me entirely because of the subjective effect of your wisp of divine soul. ”
"Before they wake up, I'll just open a narrow passage for you. ”
The old man will hold the nameless in his hand out of thin air, no, it is Ji Fan's subjective consciousness that the old man will hold the nameless in his hand, the sword light flashed, and the invisible sword suddenly took shape, but it was many times stronger than the invisible sword used by Ji Fan, and there was the power that Ji Fan was familiar with, the power of thunder.
The invisible sword roared out, and Ji Fan only felt that his eyes flashed, and the stone wall opposite the pool was instantly pierced.
"Okay, although this cave is not big, it is enough, after you go out, it should be the edge of the spirit beast forest. The old man threw the sword to Ji Fan and looked at him with a smile, the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together, and it looked extremely ugly.
"Thank you, Qingluan's sword, I will definitely get it back. ”
Ji Fan nodded solemnly and was about to bow down, but the old man stopped him with his right hand.
"I can't be called your master, I can't teach you much, and I just passed on your sword. You just need to remember my name and Ling Jian's name. ”
"If you can see Qingluan's remnant soul, don't forget to mention that you have seen me, and I deserve my name. ”
