"Maybe that senior is still alive."
Chen Chao thought for a long time before suddenly speaking. He really didn't want the woman in front of him to be so sad.
The woman glanced at Chen Chao. The frustration and sadness in her eyes still did not dissipate. Instead, she shook her head and said in despair: "You don't understand his pride. If he was still alive, how could he throw away his knife?"
"Even if the knife breaks, he will not drop it."
The woman's eyes were full of nostalgia, "How much he loves his sword, how could I not know?"
Chen Chao opened his mouth. What the woman said was clear and coherent. He really didn't know what to say to refute her.
"You don't have to be like this. I already knew he was dead. If not, he would never have stopped looking for me for so long."
The woman glanced at Chen Chao, suddenly smiled and said, "You look a bit like him."
Chen Chao asked: "Where did that senior go?"
What Chen Chao can now confirm is that the previous owner of Broken Sword was an extremely remarkable person. Such a person would fight to the point of breaking the sword one day. Just based on this, he knew what happened to him.
The woman did not answer the question, but walked slowly to the lake and said, "Do you know how many years I have been here?"
Chen Chao glanced at Xilu, who was still standing where he was. He didn't know what he was thinking. Chen Chao came to the lakeside and said: "Senior..."
"Don't call me so old. If you want, you can call me sister."
The woman turned her head and glanced at Chen Chao, with a smile in her eyes.
Chen Chao was a little at a loss.
"Do you think I'm not worthy of being your sister?"
The woman glanced at Chen Chao, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.
Chen Chao Zhang Zhang
He finally hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister, I'm afraid she has lived for more than a thousand years."
The woman nodded, "I didn't calculate it carefully, but it has been more than a thousand years."
Although Chen Chao had already suspected it, he was still shocked when he heard the woman in front of him admit it.
She was different from the girl he had met in the coffin. She was not sleeping, no matter what, but she was alive.
Her realm is no longer fathomable.
"It's just that I can't leave here."
The woman didn't hide anything, maybe she felt that the young man in front of her was closely related to her old friend.
Chen Chao opened his mouth, "Why?"
The woman glanced at Chen Chao and did not answer the question, but asked: "How is the scenery outside? Tell me, the last time I heard this was hundreds of years ago."
Chen Chao nodded, but did not refuse. He slowly talked about external matters and the current situation in the world. He spoke slowly and seriously.
The woman asked in surprise: "How can that dynasty in Daliang be so powerful now?"
Chen Chao nodded and said with a smile: "It's because there was a great emperor."
The woman glanced at Chen Chao and said something meaningful, "Some things that the eyes see are not all true. There are many things that need to be peeled away layer by layer."
Chen Chao frowned.
"Don't frown, it doesn't look good."
The woman reached out to smooth Chen Chao's brow and said softly: "The last time he came here, he also told me many things about the outside world. I also yearn for the outside world. After all, I have been here for too long and I am a little tired of it.
It's a pity that you can come and leave. But I can't go out."
a sacred mountain
, in the eyes of many people, it may be a paradise, but for a woman, it is just a cage to imprison her.
Before Chen Chao spoke, the woman finally answered the previous question. She said slowly: "He came and stayed with me for some time, and I fell in love with him, but he always wanted to leave and couldn't be here with me.
I can't keep him by my side. He said he would come to look for me again, but after waiting for so many years, I knew he wouldn't come. Now that his knife is in your hand, I know even more that he won't come.
"
The woman looked at Chen Chao and said, "So if you like someone, don't let go of her hand. It's better to take her with you wherever you go. It's better to die together than to never see each other again across thousands of mountains and rivers."
After saying this, the woman looked at Xilu over there and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Chen Chao noticed the woman's movements, shook his head and said, "I don't like her."
"Of course I can see that, but you should also have a woman you like."
The woman stretched out her finger and touched his forehead.
The woman's affectionate attitude towards him made Chen Chao a little at a loss, but he quickly asked: "Sister, what on earth is this place?"
The woman nodded and said: "Holy Mountain, many years ago, there was no so-called dynasty in this world. The monks you mentioned have established many sects in this world, and the most remarkable ones among them will be called Sacred Mountain, which is similar to
Regarding the existence of infatuated thoughts in your mouth."
The woman said softly: "There were four sacred mountains at that time, and this one was called the Northern Sacred Mountain."
Having said this, the woman glanced at Chen Chao again and said softly: "I am the goddess of this sacred mountain."
When the word "goddess" is spoken,
At this moment, there was a hint of sadness in the woman's eyes.
Chen Chao couldn't help but think of the mural he had seen on the corridor before, and he couldn't help but ask.
The goddess looked at him, nodded and said, "Yes, that is the destination of the goddesses of all ages."
"It's just that I was lucky and escaped the destined fate, but other fates are not necessarily easy."
The goddess shook her head. Things in the past were too complicated, and some of them she didn't want to mention.
Chen Chao asked: "Is this sacred mountain destroyed because of a sword immortal?"
He had seen those sword energies before, but he didn't see any traces here.
The goddess glanced at Chen Chao and said, "That's the guy you're talking about. He's here to find the magic medicine."
"Magic medicine?"
Xilu, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke and looked this way.
The goddess said calmly: "Each of the four sacred mountains has a magic medicine. That guy came with a sword just to steal the magic medicine."
"Since the Four Sacred Mountains were already the most powerful sects at that time, why could the Sword Immortal break in so easily?"
Chen Chao had some questions and hoped to get answers from the goddess.
The goddess shook her head and said: "Although that man is strong, it is still impossible to destroy the sacred mountain in the north with him alone. At that time, all the strong men in our sacred mountain left, and there were no strong ones left behind, so he took advantage of it.
That’s all.”
"Then did he take away the magic medicine in the end?"
Xilu looked at the goddess with some urgency.
The sword fairy entered this sacred mountain, and he was afraid that he had achieved what he wanted.
The goddess looked at Xi Lu, shook her head and said, "It was unlucky for him to come. At that time, the magic medicine had matured and yielded fruit and was picked."
A miracle medicine often needs to be picked in time after it matures, and
It will be time to plant another one.
"One miraculous medicine can take away countless fortunes. It is absolutely impossible to plant two miraculous medicines at the same time, and the seeds of miraculous medicine are rare."
The goddess spoke patiently and told these two people some secrets.
"what about now?"
Xilu looked at the goddess and asked, "Is there any more magic medicine?"
The goddess looked at her and asked curiously: "Do you want it?"
Xilu said: "I am willing to trade everything."
The goddess smiled and said, "Do you think you have anything that can compare to this magical medicine?"
Xilu was speechless for a moment.
This magical medicine can be said to be the most precious thing in the world, and nothing else can compare with it.
Chen Chao was a little curious as to why Xilu was so obsessed with this so-called miracle medicine.
"Anyway, I want the magic medicine."
Xilu is very determined and has an attitude that he must win the magic medicine.
The goddess glanced at her and shook her head. She didn't care what the little girl said. She pointed to the hut over there and said calmly: "Even if you want it, it's useless because it's not mature yet."
In front of the thatched house, there was a flower garden. There were no other flowers and plants in the flower garden, only a small grass.
It looks very ordinary.
Chen Chao took a look and asked with some disbelief: "Is that the magic medicine?"
The goddess nodded, "Yes, but it is not mature yet. It will take more than a hundred years, maybe longer, but it may not be faster, so even if she wants it now, she can't get it."
"But I won't give it to you either."
The goddess looked at Xilu and said: "Little girl, there are not so many things in the world that we should take for granted. There are many things that you will definitely achieve if you don't want them."
Xilu said: "A hundred years later,
I'll come and get it."
The goddess laughed it off.
Chen Chao was a little amazed at the goddess's good temper. If her temper were worse, Xilu would have been killed by now.
The goddess looked at Chen Chao and asked, "If you want, you can come and see it a hundred years later."
Chen Chao smiled bitterly, "How dare I get my hands on such a precious thing."
The goddess smiled and said: "I don't know for sure. I may not need this thing by then. If you need it, you can take it."
Chen Chao suddenly realized.
The goddess in front of him seemed to be too kind to him.
"I have a question, sister. Now there are no traces of these sacred mountains, nor of those sects that once existed. Their traces do not even exist in history books. It is difficult to find any trace of them now.
Because of what?"
Chen Chao has always been puzzled about this matter, and he really wants to know the answer.
Chen Chao has always suspected that there is a big invisible hand in the dark doing something.
The goddess looked at him and shook her head.
Chen Chao asked unwillingly: "Why?"
The goddess hesitated, but after thinking for a long time, she just said: "If you take another step forward one day and come to me again, I will tell you the answer, but now that you know these things, it is not the same for you.
A good thing."
Chen Chao wanted to say something more, but the goddess shook her head again, "Don't ask, I won't tell you."
Chen Chao had no choice but to give up, but he also felt regretful.
The goddess stood by the lake and looked at him with a smile, "Sometimes, living a life in a daze is not necessarily a bad thing."
Chen Chao said: "I would rather die sober."
"Don't talk about death easily, life is the most meaningful thing in this world
things, death makes everything meaningless."
The goddess looked at Chen Chao in front of her and said with a smile: "You are still very young. Why do you need to think about what will happen in the future now?"
Chen Chao remained silent.
Instinctively, he frowned again.
But soon the goddess reached out and touched her forehead.
Chen Chao stepped back and asked, "How did martial artists practice in my sister's time?"
Chen Chao had heard about this elixir before at the site of Rongshan Sect, and it was later confirmed that Wufu could indeed practice Taoism at the time.
The goddess said softly: "The killing power of a swordsman is unparalleled in the world, but at that time, the most terrifying thing was the martial artist."
Chen Chao was a little lost.
If sword cultivators possess the most terrifying killing power among monks, then warriors are the most terrifying monks of that era. They possess the most powerful physiques, and their killing power is not inferior to that of sword cultivators. At that time
Whether it is the monks of the Holy Mountain or other sects, they all attach great importance to cultivating martial arts. A high-level martial artist is the confidence of a sect.
"Looking at the flow of your Qi, there is no trace of Taoism. In your era, it seems that you have taken a new path."
The goddess looked at Chen Chao and said, "If you want the martial arts practice method, I can give you the classics from the sacred mountain."
As one of the original four sacred mountains, the Northern Sacred Mountains, their practice books must be the top ones at that time.
Chen Chao shook his head.
The goddess looked at him and did not force him. She just smiled and said: "It seems that you have very ambitious ambitions."
"Is it Yuanda? I can't say, but I just want to make a living."
Chen Chao's eyes were firm
, the martial artist is looked down upon by the world. I don’t know how many people in this world look at the martial artist with cold eyes.
The goddess nodded, "It doesn't mean good or bad, only the right one is good. You have to understand this."
Chen Chao nodded and let out a breath.
Rejecting the goddess actually requires a lot of courage.
The goddess said calmly: "You still have some time, don't worry."
This sentence was somewhat inexplicable, but Chen Chao felt that it had a lot of meaning.
Xilu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked: "How should we leave?"
Since he can't get the magic medicine, Xilu is not willing to stay here anymore and leave this place. He will come back when the magic medicine matures.
The goddess ignored Xi Lu, but looked at Chen Chao and asked, "Don't you want to accompany your sister anymore?"
Chen Chao said: "I'm not in a hurry to leave. After all, as soon as I walk out of here, this little girl will fight me to the death."
Hearing the title of little girl, Xilu frowned.
The goddess smiled slightly and said, "It's a fight, but don't just show off your feelings."
Chen Chao smiled and said, "I don't like tigresses."
Xilu narrowed his eyes, murderous intent emerged.
The goddess was also a little dissatisfied and said: "You are not good at talking to a little girl like that."
Chen Chao said nothing.
…
…
"That's all, I'm used to being alone for so many years, what can you do if you stay a few more days?"
The goddess quickly changed her mind, but then she looked at Xilu and said, "Little girl, when you get outside, don't tell anyone what happened here."
Xilu didn't answer.
The goddess looked at Xilu quietly. After a moment, she smiled lightly and said: "Little girl, sometimes don't do this."
You are so stubborn, there is a saying I don’t know if you have heard of it, it is called listen to others and eat enough."
Xilu remained silent.
The goddess finally sighed and said: "If you don't promise me, then I will kill you."
This sentence was said lightly, but the weight in it was even clear to Xilu at this moment. This goddess had been gentle from the beginning, but now, although she didn't have murderous intent when she spoke, she was like a mountain rising toward her.
Press down on the western continent.
Xi Lu's face instantly turned pale.
Chen Chao was happy to watch the show. The tiger bitch who had yelled and killed him when she saw him before was now taken care of, right?
very nice.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the goddess smiled and said: "It seems that you have promised me, Xiao Chen, come here, sister, I will say a few words to you again."
After the goddess said this, she didn't care about Xilu, but walked towards the hut on her own.
Chen Chao followed without hesitation, while Xilu stood there with an indifferent expression.
The two came to the front of the hut, where there was a flower garden, in which the magic medicine plant grew alone.
The goddess waved her hand casually, and some water drops fell on the magic medicine from her fingertips, which was regarded as irrigating it.
Chen Chao looked at the magic medicine that was no different from ordinary weeds and couldn't help but marvel. The magic medicine in front of him could actually be said to be a return to nature.
It doesn't have much special meaning.
The goddess said: "It's not mature yet. When it matures, it will naturally be radiant. In the past, when it matured, it was often necessary for the strong men of the sacred mountain to work together to block the aura, otherwise many people would know about it."
The goddess looked at Chen Chao, smiled and asked: "The woman you like is a swordsman?"
Chen Chao was a little surprised, wondering how the goddess in front of him could
Know.
"There is some special aura, very familiar. He should be a good swordsman, but his level is a bit low."
The goddess smiled to herself and said, "I shouldn't be able to defeat you now, but it's hard to say in the future."
Chen Chao was ashamed, feeling like he was being seen through. The other person seemed to be able to see everything about him clearly.
"A gift for my sister I have never met."
The goddess stretched out her palm, and the palm automatically condensed into a small sword, with ripples all over the body, as if there was water flowing in it.
"It's a sword embryo. I don't know if your sword cultivator still has such a thing."
The goddess stretched out her hand and pressed the center of his eyebrows, and the sword embryo fell into his eyebrows. Then the goddess said with satisfaction: "Save it with you first. When you see her, remember to give it to her for me."
Chen Chao smiled bitterly and said, "Why is sister so nice to me?"
When they met for the first time, the attitude shown by the goddess was enough to surprise Chen Chao.
Now she gave something to Xie Nandu, whom she had not met.
The goddess smiled and said: "It's just fate. I don't like that little girl, but I like you very much, otherwise I wouldn't recognize you as my brother."
Chen Chao thought about it for a while, and finally felt that it might be Yunni.
After all, the person the goddess likes is the owner of that sword.
"Yeah, I don't know what the relationship is between you and him, but since you can get this knife, it means there must be a fate between us, what do you think?"
The goddess looked at Chen Chao with a smile.
Chen Chao didn't know what to say.
The goddess looked into Chen Chao's eyes and suddenly said: "Actually, now that I'm here, I even think that he might still be alive. Maybe one day, he and I can meet again."
Chen Chaodian
Nodding, "I also hope that sister can really meet that senior one day."
"If God has love, he will never let lovers separate."
Chen Chao suddenly thought of a sentence he had seen in a book before, and for some reason, he said it right now.
The goddess repeatedly murmured: "If the sky is sentimental...that's so well said."
"For your words, will my sister also give you something?"
Chen Chao did not answer this question, but instead asked: "Sister is also a sword fairy?"
Although he didn't notice any aura from the goddess, for some reason, at this moment, he really felt that the woman in front of him should be a sword fairy.
"you guess?"
The goddess looked at Chen Chao with a smile, as if she did not intend to give him an answer.
Chen Chao sighed and said: "Then if this happens, wouldn't the girl I like not be able to become the most amazing female swordsman in the world?"
The goddess laughed at Chen Chao's words and shook her head with a smile, "You are all still young and have endless possibilities. I am already old."
Chen Chao looked at the appearance of the goddess in front of him, shook his head and said: "Whoever dares to call my sister old with such an appearance, I will be the first to give him a big mouth."
"Hey, I think the woman you like was deceived by your mouth."
"Sister, don't you think I'm good-looking?"
"You are so much worse than him."
"How can my sister say such cold words with that mouth?"
Chen Chao pretended to be aggrieved. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the time in Tianqing County, feeling a little relaxed.
Probably because the goddess in front of me is too friendly.
"A smooth-tongued little slicker."
The goddess reaches out again
He tapped Chen Chao's eyebrows and said softly: "If you like someone, you should say the love words you should say and do the things you should do. Otherwise, how would she know?"
Before Chen Chao spoke, the goddess continued to talk to herself: "You two are not transparent. You think that the other party knows everything you think, but in fact it is not necessarily the case."
Chen Chao sighed: "Sister seems to know everything."
"Remember, don't be self-righteous."
The goddess glanced at Chen Chao and said, "I have liked someone for hundreds of years."
Chen Chao nodded and said, "Hundreds of years are really a long time."
"But as long as I live, I will continue to like him, maybe for a thousand years, maybe for two thousand years, until the day I die."
The goddess' eyes were firm.
"Isn't it a little too painful?"
For the rest of my life, being alone will always feel too lonely.
"People live because of some thoughts. Without these thoughts, they can't live. But when I think that if I die today, I will never see him again, I don't want to die."
Chen Chao didn't know what to say, he just admired the goddess in front of him.
The goddess suddenly stretched out her hand, and a white flower suddenly appeared in her palm. She looked at the flower with complicated emotions in her eyes. After an unknown period of time, she raised her head with some tears in her eyes.
"I can't leave the sacred mountain, so take a flower with you."
