Chapter 20: The Mysterious Old Man
"That jade pendant is a jade card that can prove the identity of Yuntian's disciples, before each disciple who goes out for trials leaves the sect, the trial pavilion will give a jade card, the jade card is refined by special means, but it can't be imitated, because there are many disciples walking outside, so there will be a person in charge in an area, and the person in charge will have a gas machine stone in his hand, specifically looking at the authenticity of the jade card, that is, in order to facilitate confirmation between the same door, and there is a means to walk in the mortal dust and prove the identity of the person in charge. β
After Han Yan and Mo Feng left the Trial Pavilion, they walked down the mountain, because the journey back to Qingxu Peak was a bit far, Han Yan also asked Mo Feng about the jade card by the way, and felt that the faint qi that belonged to Yun Tianzong was very strange, and he was also amazed by the means of the Qingsong real person, after all, he could be regarded as watching the Qingsong real person refine this jade card with his own eyes. Anyway, there was nothing to do, so Han Yan continued to ask this seemingly omniscient senior brother about going down the mountain to practice.
"In the mortal world, you must remember that you can't show the means of cultivation unless you have to, because the sect clearly stipulates this regulation, and it is said that it is because you are afraid that the means will be biased and accidentally hurt others. β
Han Yan nodded, he knew how those flesh and blood people would be able to resist if the cultivators used their means among the mortals unscrupulously.
Han Yan thought that Mo Feng wanted to stop him from going to the Dongyang Empire, and he asked Mo Feng the reason for it. Mo Feng just frowned, quite helpless: "Han Yan, do you remember that I once said that Zhao Zihao was unscrupulous in the sect because he had a good brother?"
Han Yan remembered that Mo Feng had mentioned this matter, but because Mo Feng didn't explain it at that time, Han Yan didn't ask about it, so Han Yan didn't take this matter to heart, and now when he heard Mo Feng mention it, he nodded.
"That Zhao Zihao's brother is Zhao Chengfeng, another person who is known as Shuangjie with me, unlike me, I am outside to kill the demon clan, and Zhao Chengfeng is the overseer of the Yuntian Sect's inspection in the four major regions. β
A thought rose in Han Yan's heart, and he was a little clear: "Could it be that Zhao Chengfeng ......?"
Mo Feng also continued to explain, but his face was more sorrowful: "Well, it is said that I know that Zhao Chengfeng is now in the Dongyang Empire, and you had a gap with his younger brother a few days ago, and you also won his Ning Yuan Fruit, Senior Uncle Qingsong asked you to go to the Youlong City of the Dongyang Empire, although the Youlong City is in the border land, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not meet Zhao Chengfeng, which is why I don't want you to accept this task." β
Han Yan was puzzled: "Could it be that Zhao Chengfeng dares to harm his fellow disciples?"
Mo Feng just shook his head: "Zhao Chengfeng is different from Zhao Zihao, compared to Zhao Zihao's arrogance, Zhao Chengfeng is kind and evil, and he is deeply respected by his master Qinghe Zhenren, otherwise he would not be able to be this supervisor, as for harming the same family, Zhao Chengfeng naturally does not dare and will not, I am afraid that he will borrow the hands of others, or secretly make you a stumbling block." β
Han Yan was convinced of Mo Feng's words, and kept an eye on Zhao Chengfeng, who had never met before. It's just that there were already intermittent disciples passing by in front of him, so he didn't say anything, but just walked towards Qingxu Peak.
As soon as the two of them returned to Qingxu Peak, they walked directly to where Qingxu Zhenren was, wanting to inform them about going to the Dragon City, but only Nanhua and Yilan were in the house, and it seemed that they were embroidering something.
Han Yan also asked where Qingxu Zhenren was, Nanhua just said that he was called by Elder Qingyang, and he didn't know what to do, and finally said that Qingxu Zhenren would go to the Treasure Pavilion when he asked Hanyan to come back, saying what the reward for the competition was. As soon as he said that he had won the competition, he remembered that he seemed to have won at that time, and he could go to the Treasure Pavilion to choose a spiritual weapon, and he said a few words to Nanhua at the moment, and specially said hello to Yilan, but Yilan didn't know what he was thinking, and turned a blind eye to Hanyan, Hanyan just shook his head, and walked towards the place where the Treasure Pavilion was located.
It didn't take long for Han Yan to walk to the place where the Treasure Pavilion was, just like when Han Yan first came to choose the natal spirit sword that suited him, the building of this Treasure Pavilion looked very ordinary, and there didn't seem to be any guards, but there were two Yuntian Sect protectors standing at the door, and Han Yan walked forward without stopping.
"I've seen two Dharma protectors, disciple Han Yan, and I'm here to choose a spiritual weapon today. β
"Hanyan, the winner of this competition, well, you go in. β
The two Dharma Protectors confirmed it, and then let Han Yan enter the Treasure Pavilion. Han Yan returned a salute, and then pushed open the door, compared to others who will be happy every time they enter this treasure pavilion, Han Yan just had an indifferent expression, but not because Han Yan disliked the treasures of the Treasure Pavilion, but because Han Yan was happy to choose the spirit weapon when he successfully built the foundation, as soon as he entered the spirit weapon space, the sky was full of spirit weapon light points flying around, so that Han Yan, who had never seen the world, could not be happy, but strange things appeared, he tried hard to chase a point of light for a long time, and finally caught that point of light, but it was a high-grade spirit sword, and he did not hesitate in his heart, just according to what the elder of the Treasure Pavilion said before he just came in, squeezed out a drop of his own essence blood to drop on the point of light, who knew that just dropped it, the point of light dissipated, only the drop of blood of Han Yan was still floating in the air, Han Yan thought that the sword grade was too high, hurriedly put away the drop of blood, and was busy grabbing the light point, and it took a long time to catch a middle-level spirit sword, the tragedy happened again, and before it was dropped, which point of light dissipated again. Han Yan thought to himself, could it be that my qualifications are too poor? I was depressed and caught a low-level one, but the result was still the same, Han Yan didn't think much about it, so he said how could I have poor qualifications, it seems that my qualifications are too high, so he chased towards those particularly bright points of light, and it took a long time to catch one, and he was about to drip blood, and the tragedy happened again, and the point of light dissipated again.
Han Yan's heart collapsed, he couldn't even get the natal spirit sword, and he retreated to the spirit weapon space in frustration, and the old man saw Han Yan come out empty-handed, and asked a few words in his heart, Han Yan was in a low mood and answered a few words intermittently, and the old man knew in his heart that there must be no spirit sword willing to recognize the master with Han Yan, and he had the heart to comfort him and said that he could make some other requests, Han Yan felt that he had not been able to let the spirit sword recognize the master, and the Qingxu real person would definitely be angry, otherwise he would get some good things and go back to honor the Qingxu real person, so he would not reach out and not hit the smiling person, and the Qingxu real person would not be punished so badlyγ Immediately said to the elder of the pavilion that he didn't want the spirit sword, just a pot of Baihua wine, after the old man gave the Baihua wine, he was not very disappointed, he ran out of the door with the wine, who knew that he had just gone out, and the wine in his hand was gone, Hanyan turned his head to look around, and he didn't see a figure, but he suddenly smelled a burst of wine, and it seemed to be the Baihua wine, and he just opened the lid and smelled it, which is the smell.
Han Yan walked all the way along the aroma of wine, and then walked to the back of the Treasure Pavilion, and saw that there was bamboo everywhere, and there was a figure on the stone chair in the middle of the bamboo that was carrying a jar and pouring it, and his heart was sad, and he shouted My Baihua Wine, and was about to rush to snatch it down, but he heard that the person who stole the wine was coughing violently, and Han Yan saw that he could still take care of which Baihua wine, so he just ran behind him and knocked on the back with his small hand, until the coughing gradually subsided, and then said why was he in such a hurry, the person who stole the wine just turned his head to look at Han Yan, and then stood upγ
Only then did Han Yan see clearly that the person in front of him was just an old man, full of white hair, and he was not wearing the Taoist robe of Yuntian Sect, but just a coarse cloth shirt, Han Yan also saw a broom next to the table, thinking that this should be an old man cleaning here, and he didn't care about his wine being stolen, so he just put the little Baihua wine left in the old man's hand, and said it to you, drink it slowly. The old man didn't shirk it, and poured it up with the wine bottle again, making Han Yan's eyes straight, how could this old man drink so fast, and he wasn't afraid of choking.
After drinking wine, the old man saw Han Yan looking at himself with a stunned look, so he smiled and said, "Little doll, is this your wine?"
Han Yan nodded, and the old man looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, I haven't drunk this Baihua brew for a long time, I just smelled the wine, and I couldn't help it, you see that the wine is gone now, and I don't have any good things in the old man, so I'll give you this swordsmanship." The old man said and took out a dilapidated book from his pocket and gave it to Han Yan, where did Han Yan want it, but he just said that it didn't matter, he drank it when he finished drinking.
The old man glared: "If you don't accept it, my old man will feel guilty." β
Han Yan had no choice but to accept it, and when the old man saw Han Yan accept the swordsmanship, he smiled again: "Why did you little doll run to this Treasure Pavilion?"
Han Yan said that he came to choose the natal spirit sword, and also said his weird thing, listening to the old man put away his smile and let Han Yan come to his side with a solemn face, Han Yan didn't think much about it, so he walked over, the old man just touched the top of his head, muttered a few words, because it was too quiet, Han Yan didn't listen to it.
The old man just touched it a few times, and then solemnly said to Han Yan to ask Han Yan not to talk about today's matter, just said that the spirit sword grade is too low and not suitable for him, but if you want to catch the high level, you don't want to have enough time.
Han Yan nodded, not knowing why he felt so kind to this old man. Just as he was about to say something, he saw that the sky had already darkened, and he remembered that his junior sister wanted to help him copy the scriptures before the sun went down, and his heart burned and hurriedly said goodbye to the old man, turned around and ran away, leaving the old man looking at the wine bottle and laughing.
The thought turned, although Han Yan wanted to come to see the sweeping old man who gave him his sword technique every time, after Han Yan was sensible, he practiced the sword technique called the Seven Star Sword Technique, only to know the preciousness of the books that looked tattered, but there were no special circumstances, not to mention entering this treasure pavilion, even if it was the periphery, it would be strictly investigated, after so many years, Han Yan came to this place again, and when he entered the pavilion, it was also the old man who couldn't see his face clearly, this old man had an impression of Han Yan, a person who could not recognize the lord with blood, but asked a few words with a smile, and Han Yan answeredγ
After learning that Han Yan was also the one who won the competition in this matter, after a closer look, he knew that Han Yan was already in the early stage of Jindan, and praised Han Yan for a few words and said if he was going to go in to select the spirit weapon, but Han Yan shook his head slightly, and smiled bitterly, he has now estimated that the purple sword in his body is the fault, so he can't recognize the master, Han Yan, who has long been immune to his own strange things, just smiled and said Ge Lao, you don't know my situation yet, so he just asked for a pot of Baihua brew as before, and left after a few words, Han Yan walked directly to the back of the Treasure Pavilion as soon as he went out, and he didn't go long before he saw a bamboo forest, There is also an old figure in the bamboo forest who is holding a broom to sweep the fallen bamboo leaves.
It's just that time has passed, although it is still the same person and a pot of wine, but the ignorant little doll in the past has now become a vigorous teenager.
From a distance, Han Yan saw the old man sweeping the fallen leaves with a broom, and he was still wearing clothes made of burlap, but his back was more slender.
Han Yan didn't know why this old man had been cleaning the fallen leaves here for ten years, because as long as the wind blew in this bamboo forest, the bamboo leaves would fall, how could they be cleaned, maybe this is everyone's different way of life.
I just sighed in my heart, Han Yan saw that the old man only cared about sweeping the floor as if he didn't notice his arrival, smiled, lifted the lid of the Baihua wine in his hand, and the aromatic aroma of wine came to his face, only feeling a flower in front of him, and his hand was empty, and there was an old man with white hair standing in front of him, who was sniffing the wine with his nose, looking at the weeping appearance, Han Yan pondered that if it weren't for his presence, it is estimated that the old man would have begun to feast a lot.
"Senior, after so many years, you haven't changed at all. β
This old man is really the same as back then, but after learning about the powerful power of the seven-star swordsmanship, he knew that this old man who was cleaning the fallen leaves in the bamboo forest was not simple, but he asked Mo Feng by the side of Han Yan, and Mo Feng also shook his head and said that he didn't know. Although I was prepared in my heart, I still felt a little funny.
"As soon as I smell this wine, I know it's you, little doll. β
The old man resisted the temptation of the aroma of wine, and said to Han Yan with a smile on his face, but Han Yan clearly saw the old man's throat constantly swallowing saliva, which showed that the old man was now resisting the wine worm in his stomach.
"Senior ......"
Before Han Yan could finish speaking, he was stopped by the old man waving his hand: "Don't call me senior, I'm just a bad old man cleaning the bamboo forest." β
"I see, Senpai"
Han Yan was still calling his seniors, and he didn't know if he pretended not to hear it, or if his temperament was like this, and the old man glanced at Han Yan helplessly.
"You little doll, I didn't say don't call me senior, why do you still call me?"
"I didn't call it, senior"
β......β
The old man was quite helpless: "Forget it, you can call it whatever you like." It's not the same thing to stand like this, I'll sit there with the old man. As he spoke, he walked to the stone table in the bamboo forest, and turned to look at Han Yan, who was still in a daze: "Why are you still stunned there, and you want my old man to invite you personally?"
Han Yan, who came back to his senses, didn't even dare to say anything, so he followed the old man to sit on the stone table, and the old man unceremoniously picked up the wine jug and took a sip: "This taste really hasn't changed, over the years, I took the little doll and drank your wine a few years ago, and now in retrospect, the little doll at that time has become an adult, and time flies." β
"Senior, this Baihua wine was taken by me and the elder of the Treasure Pavilion, why can't you ask for some of your old man here for so many years?"
Han Yan has some doubts, logically speaking, this Baihua wine does not seem to be particularly precious, the old man has been cleaning here for so many years, he dare not say that there is Baihua wine to drink every day, but there should be a pot a month, right? Looking at the expression of true feelings, it seems that for so many years, except for the two bottles of wine that he used to choose the opportunity to choose the spiritual weapon, he really has not drunk this Baihua wine again.
"Hey, don't mention it, it's all tears, little doll, do you know why I'm sweeping the floor here day after day?" the old man looked sad at first, and then asked Han Yan.
"The kid is stupid, please let the seniors know. β
When Han Yan heard the old man's words, his face became more solemn than ever, and he bowed to the old man.
"Do you feel it, knowing that my words will play a key role, it's really ......"
The old man saw Han Yan, who had bent down and never got up, and muttered to himself with some emotion.
"Get up, my old man doesn't like this. β
The old man said and threw the broom in his hand to Han Yan, who was puzzled: "Senior, what is this?"
The old man just raised his head and took a sip of Baihua wine: "Take it and go clean those bamboo leaves." β
Han Yan knew that the old man would not let him clean the fallen leaves for no reason, and he did not hesitate, so he saluted the old man and picked up a broom to clean the fallen leaves.
It was only after Hanyan had been cleaning that he found that the fallen leaves here seemed to be endless, and he finished sweeping the fallen leaves on this side, and then went to clean the other side, but the other side had just been swept, and there were many fallen leaves piled up on the other side.
Seeing that the old man didn't mean to let himself stop, Han Yan just suppressed the irritability, and continued to clean the endless fallen leaves with a broom, but the more he swept, the more he swept, as if there was something in his heart that needed to be vented, Han Yan looked at the dead leaves that were slowly falling, and a sentence suddenly sounded in his heart.
"It's annoying, it's really annoying, destroy it, yes, destroy it all!!"
Thinking that the true qi of the whole body was surging wildly, but the bell pinned to her waist was Ling Lingling rang a few times, and Han Yan retreated from that strange state, and he was afraid for a while, why did he have such tyrannical thoughts.
"Stop, kid. The old man's voice rang out, and Han Yan stopped what he was doing.
The old man smiled and said to Han Yan, "Come here"
"Seniors. Han Yan saluted.
"Kid, did you feel it just now?"
"When I was just cleaning, I didn't do anything at first, but as the leaves fell endlessly, I felt like I was getting irritable. Han Yan paused for a moment before continuing: "It feels like, like wanting to destroy everything. β
After listening to Han Yan's words, the old man who had been closing his eyes just stood up, turned his back to Han Yan and looked up at the bamboo leaves falling in the wind, but Han Yan didn't know where the old man's expression at the moment was still the drunkard just now, and his face was full of solemnity.
"There will always be many difficulties and setbacks in everyone's life, just like this bamboo leaf can be swept inexhaustibly, but even so we will insist on using the broom in our hand to keep cleaning, if we want to escape, the fallen leaves will only accumulate more and more, if we want to directly cut off the bamboo that produces fallen leaves, it is the fundamental way. β
"The sword you hold in your hand is to cut off all the thorns, if you blindly dodge, it will be difficult to move forward half a step in your life, and there are some people who take that shortcut in order to achieve their goals quickly, and they will eventually lose themselves and destroy themselves. β
"A cultivator is first and foremost a cultivator, and only by persevering in oneself can one cut through all setbacks, not be tempted by the quick way to fall, and will not be forced to retreat by the countless difficulties and setbacks. β
"Well, you can go. β
Listening to the old man's words, Han Yan kept his head down and meditated on the truth, until he raised his head when the old man let him leave, and there was no one in front of him, and Han Yan knew that the old man had left.
"Senior, what I said today has benefited Hanyan immensely, although I don't know the name of my predecessor yet, but I will remember what my predecessor said, and defend my heart with the sword in my hand, if there is a chance, I will come again, and the hundred flowers wine. β
After Han Yan finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the place where the old man was just now, and was about to get up and leave, but he felt a warm feeling in the palm of his hand, and looked down to see where the broom that was supposed to be held was still there, but there was just an extra colorful feather, knowing that this was what the old man gave him, he bowed again and turned to leave.
It's just that Han Yan didn't know that not long after he left, the old man appeared next to the stone table out of thin air, the old man just looked at the wine bottle quietly, and muttered to himself: "People who lack half of their natural life personality, the future road can only rely on yourself, can the supernatural power really rival the number of days......
"Uncle Shi, why are you drinking again?"
A voice sounded in the bamboo forest, and there was also a figure at the entrance and exit of the bamboo forest, if Han Yan was there, he could hear this voice for the first time, and the owner was the pavilion elder in the Treasure Pavilion.
The old man put away the wine bottle on the stone table, and his face was cynical: "Where there is, where there is"
"Uncle Shi, you are really, since you were injured in the sixteenth year, Lord Deng Gu has said that you can't drink, and Uncle Shi, you will blush when you drink."
The old man blushed, but he couldn't see it because of drinking: "Hallucination, it must be an illusion......"
