The firewood seemed to be burned out, and there was some darkness in the thatched hut, through the dim firelight, Lin Chen looked around, but found that the place where the head of the clan lived was quite simple, there was only an old wooden bed inside, some firewood piled up in the corner, a rusty iron pot resting upside down by the wall, and other than that, there was nothing else.

The old man was bending down to play with the fire, and he picked up a few sticks of wood from the side and threw them into it, and when the flames were rekindled, Fang stood up, patted his somewhat shabby clothes, and returned to the original place of meditation and sat down.

Lin Chen looked at the old man in front of him quietly, but when he saw that the old man straightened up, his figure was quite tall, his gray hair and sideburns were a little sparse, but his spirit was extremely vigorous, and his eyes revealed a bit of vicissitudes, but he was blazing.

What made him a little concerned was that the old man seemed to have a bit of true yuan aura on his body, but it was very weak.

The old man was also looking at him, and under the firelight, his shadow pulled the old man, flickering, and there was a faint feeling of unreality.

Lin Chen was hesitating how to speak, but he saw the old man smile faintly, and his voice had already sounded: "Young man, it's not easy to come here to find immortal fate, right? How many years have you been, you are the second foreigner the old man has ever seen, and maybe the last one in the rest of your life." ”

The voice was calm, with a faint sigh.

Listening to this old voice, Lin Chen suddenly had some cordiality in his heart, obviously the winner of the once-a-decade Shushan Six Veins Great Test has the qualifications to enter the Sword Shrine to seek immortal fate, this matter, this old man knows, the Sword Shrine is one of the forbidden places in Shu Mountain, and the fierce name and fame are outside, but over the past dynasties, the Six Veins Martial Arts have been held countless times, and the winners of the great test who dare to enter the Sword Shrine to seek the immortal fate are very few, and it is no wonder that the old man sighed very much.

It's just that who will be the first outsider?

After a moment of silence, Lin Chen also sat down on the ground, facing the old man across the fire, and smiled indifferently: "If there is no difficulty in walking in the sky, who in the world is not an immortal?"

The old man was stunned, and actually laughed: "Kind-hearted, I didn't expect the old man to be able to see such an outstanding young man, hehe......"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "The kid is arrogant, but the old man is serious." ”

The old man seemed to be a little distracted, muttered Lin Chen's words a few times, and then shook his head again, and looked at the young man in front of him again.

But seeing that this young man had a faint smile on his mouth, he couldn't find that the young man should have a light and sharp spirit, and in those bright eyes, he could vaguely see a little casualness to see through the world.

The old man frowned, what kind of experience can make a young man who should be in a green shirt have the mentality of knowing the destiny of heaven?

What kind of world is it out there......

The old man sighed lightly and said, "If you can find here, it is related to our 'Sword Soul Village', and there is no immortal fate, but the 'flying sword' in your mouth is a little, you can go and pick one, and you can go wherever you go." ”

As he spoke, he was about to call Kenpachi who was waiting outside the door, however, to his surprise, the young man in front of him did not show a trace of ecstasy.

After a short silence, I saw that the young man showed a bitter smile, and with sincerity in his words, he arched his hand and said: "Old man, I don't hide it, I didn't come here to get a flying sword...... It's to find a way to leave, if the old man knows, please help, I'm really grateful!"

The old man was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said in confusion: "Could it be that you are referring to the method of leaving the sword shrine?"

Lin Chen nodded, couldn't help but clench his palm, and then slowly stretched it out, suddenly realizing that he was actually a little nervous at the moment.

But almost intentionally or unconsciously, a trace of warmth came from the arm of his right hand, which slowly calmed his mood.

Counting the days in the sword mound, more than three years have passed, except for the two years of recuperation, the rest of the days he spent wandering around, looking for a way out, but the sword mound is so big, all the way over, a thousand strange demons have seen a lot, but the way to leave the sword mound is not to find any hope, now to find this strange place, to see the living, finally see a glimmer of hope, how long, not so excited?

Lin Chen thought to himself, quietly looking at the old man in front of him, but with a little apprehension in his heart.

The old man was silent for a moment, his eyes flickered, he looked at Lin Chen, and said slowly: "There are ancient books of ancestors in the village, and those who come here to seek immortal swords are the most outstanding people in Shu Mountain.

Lin Chen smiled bitterly, the black jade that was refined by the real person of the head Xuanxiaozi and recorded the secret method of entering and exiting the sword mound was destroyed by the sword qi when the ten thousand swords pierced the heart of the criminal law, if it weren't for this, how could he be trapped here?

But after thinking about it, the black jade was made by the real person in charge, and in front of Luo Fu and Kunlun, he was expelled from Shu Mountain and was permanently banished from the criminal law of the sword mound, presumably the real person in charge would also make the black jade ineffective.

The name of 'Sword Soul Village', he heard it for the first time, when he was still practicing in Forgotten Dust Peak, the Shushan Hidden Scripture Pavilion was not missing, but in the Shushan classics, there seems to be no record of the strangeness of this sword mound.

Originally, the "Purple Night Silver Moon" had been destroyed, and Yan Jingchen intended to let him enter the sword mound that day to practice, and find a natal flying sword, but later Kunlun Xingshi asked for the guilt, until he was exiled to the sword mound by the Shushan criminal law, and under the mistake, he was recognized by "Youhuang", such a bizarre and tortuous process is really difficult for outsiders.

Lin Chen sighed, lowered his head slightly, and fell silent.

After a while, his bitter voice sounded: "I...... was expelled from Shushan, and he was an exile. ”

The old man's figure in the firelight shook suddenly.

There was silence in the room, except for the fire between the two of them, crackling and burning, flickering and extinguishing.

Lin Chen was silent, his face changed, but seeing that the old man's brows were furrowed, and the expression on his face was very complicated, he finally shook his head slowly, forced a smile, and said, "Disturb the old man Qingxiu." ”

As he spoke, he silently turned around and was about to leave.

"Less chivalrous and slow. ”

At this moment, the old man's words sounded again, breaking the silence: "This secret method of leaving the sword shrine is unknown to the old man, but it has been described in the classics of the ancestors, but I don't know the truth......"

Lin Chen's body shook, and an expression of surprise and joy instantly surged on his face, he sat down again, and said in a loud voice: "Please also ask the old man to tell me, if there is anything that the kid can do, just give the order." ”

The old man shook his head, paused for a moment, and said slowly: "Actually, before you, someone asked me this question, and I said the same, but after so many years, that person is still here." ”

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, presumably the person in the old man's mouth was the first outsider in this Sword Soul Village for so many years, thinking of this, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but ask in a lost voice: "Dare to ask the old man, that person is the 'Fox Immortal Lord' in the mouth of the village?"

The old man was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "It's the fox fairy girl, I didn't expect you to know her." ”

Lin Chen smiled bitterly, not only did he know that the fierce beast "Xiao Hei" beside her before was still fighting with him, but he even thought about whether she was the legendary fox demon clan in the world.

Just as he was about to say something, the old man had already continued: "The ancestors have a testament, all things are born from being, some are born from nothing, and the extreme must be reversed, it is the law of heaven and earth, and the sword mound is deposed with fierce death qi all year round, so the only spiritual vein with vitality was born, which is the mountain range where our Sword Soul Village is located. ”

Lin Chen, who was watching, listened attentively, and the old man continued: "Our spiritual vein has no rare aura in the sword mound, and those demon spirits made of fierce qi are naturally crazy about it, but fortunately, with the blessing of the great array laid by the ancestors, we can live from generation to generation, according to the ancestral record, near the eye of this large array, it is the center of the sword mound leyline, and it is also the only place where the sword mound connects to the outside world, there seems to be a ban left by the ancient immortals, and if the ban is broken, you can enter and exit the sword mound freely. ”

For some reason, the old man suddenly sighed, as if he remembered something, and said astringently: "The patriarchs of the previous generations before the old man have left an account, it seems that hundreds of years ago, there was a supreme artifact that fell into the sword mound from the outside world, and it happened to fall into the eye of the array, it must be the sword of which generation of masters of your Shu Mountain...... But this also destroyed the ancient formation, so that the formation that could protect the spirit veins from being invaded by the demon spirits was only left with the effect of confusing them, and some time ago there seemed to be some abnormalities on the other side of the valley, so that this only effect was also lost, maybe after a while, our Sword Soul Village will no longer exist. ”

Speaking of this, the old man showed a bitter smile, vaguely a little sad.

Lin Chen was stunned, he didn't know what to say for a while, and after a long time, Fang said slowly: "Old man...... For generations, haven't you ever thought about leaving this land of poor mountains and bad waters?"
