"Master, you said Xiaoxiang got close to me on purpose?" Qiu Changqing was most worried about this, "Then what did she want?"

I feel like I have nothing.

"Well, I expected that to be the case, but that's not necessarily the case. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable. As for what she wants to do if she has any plans? Then we have to start from the beginning..." Li Xuanming narrowed his eyes and spoke.

of the past.

Seventy years ago, Li Xuanming was just a child of a poor shepherd family among the Xianbo tribe. He was only eleven or twelve years old and followed his parents to herd sheep at the foot of Rouge Mountain.

One day when I was herding sheep alone, I met an injured man in black at the foot of the mountain who was unable to move. The man in black claimed to be a fur trader and was seriously injured when he encountered bandits on the road.

He said that he would definitely not survive, and asked Li Xuanming to help him find a hidden bush, dig a shallow pit and bury him to prevent his body from being eaten by wild beasts.

Li Xuanming said, "You are not dead yet. How can you be buried alive? Just stay here and don't move. I will find an adult to help. There is a great lama nearby who is very good at treating diseases. No matter how serious your injuries are, he can be cured."

...If you can't be cured, it won't be too late for us to bury you.

But the man in black was very anxious, saying that he was going to die soon and could not wait for a moment. If he was not buried now, he would not die in peace! Besides, what if I died when you left, and a wild beast came.

What if you take my body away and eat it?

Li Xuanming thought this was reasonable, but he was young and had no tools, so how could he dig a hole? He had to go back and get it...

But the man in black said no need. He had a long sword on him, which was very sharp and could be used to dig holes. And you don't have to dig too deep, as long as you can bury my body.

Li Xuanming was a child and didn't have any ideas. Seeing that he insisted on doing this, he had no choice but to obey.

Sure enough, they found a dense wicker forest, dug a pit with the sword, and spent a lot of effort to drag him over and put him into the pit.

The man in black was very happy and thanked him repeatedly, saying that he had a few pieces of silver on him and asked him to take them all. It was useless for him to keep them as a dead person anyway, so he should treat them as thanks.

He was only asked to keep the long sword as a burial companion, and he was told repeatedly not to tell anyone about this matter, nor to his family. He even asked Li Xuanming to swear to him in the name of Changshengtian.

!

Although Li Xuanming felt strange, he didn't want to argue with a dying person, so he agreed one by one.

The man in black took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and died.

Li Xuanming touched his nose and found that he was no longer breathing, and his body gradually became cold and stiff. He was sure that he was dead, so he buried him.

But I still felt uneasy, fearing that he was faking his death and would come back to life, so I used wicker sticks to poke a small hole in the soil to leave a passage for him to breathe, so that in case he died and came back to life.

Even if they come, they won’t suffocate themselves to death, but they all have good intentions.

After returning home, I kept the secret and didn't mention it to anyone. I ran to check the sheep early the next morning, but I didn't see anything strange, and there was no sign of stirring in the soil. I shouted loudly at the small hole.

After waiting for a long time, there was no response. It seemed that the man was really dead, so he felt relieved.

As a result, when he went there again early on the third day, he discovered an astonishing scene!

But they saw that the man in black had indeed come back to life, leaning on what looked like freshly dug soil, his chest rising and falling violently, panting like an ox, and making a loud sound like a bellows.

Next to him, there were three men in black with their bodies separated, and the grass was dyed red with blood...

Li Xuanming was so frightened that he couldn't move his legs even if he wanted to run, and couldn't make a sound even if he wanted to shout.

"You brat, you killed me!" The man in black gasped and cursed, "Who asked you to leave a hole in the soil?"

"I, I, I, I was afraid that you would come back to life..." Li Xuanming said in his heart, wouldn't you come back to life now? If I hadn't left a small hole for you, you would have suffocated to death!

"Sigh... You have a good heart, but you did bad things with good intentions," the man in black sighed, "I can't blame you, it's all my fate."

"He, he, he, who are they?" Li Xuanming did not dare to look at the three corpses on the ground, "Are they thieves and horse bandits?"

"Hehehe, they are not thieves, they are my fellow sect, but they are all powerful characters. If I am reborn in seven days and recover from my serious injuries, killing them will be easy. But in these three days, I have only recovered less than 20% of my skills.

...Even if I kill them, I won’t survive after all.” The man in black smiled bitterly.

Li Xuanming didn't understand at all and could only nod stupidly.

"It's fate that we met. I see that you have a unique body and a talent for martial arts. I'll give this sword manual to you. If you want to learn it, just learn it. If you don't want to, just burn it with fire."

The man in black took out a paper booklet from his arms and threw it to Li Xuanming.

"I...I'm illiterate." Li Xuanming didn't even know what a sword manual was?

"I will also give you this one. Haha, I betrayed the sect just for this piece of paper. I thought I could live forever, but unexpectedly I still couldn't escape death." The man in black took out another one from his hair.

I held the small paper roll in my hand and looked at it reluctantly for a long time, then I flicked my fingers and shot it into Li Xuanming's arms.

Li Xuanming didn't want it at all, but he didn't dare to say no.

"What crime should be committed for betraying the sect?" The man in black said to himself, asking and answering, "He should be burned in fire and wiped out in ashes!"

After saying that, he suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a burst of fire, and then his eyes, ears, and nostrils all spurted out fire. The flames were everywhere, igniting all the corpses nearby. In less than a stick of incense, they were all burned to ashes.

A strong gust of wind blew by, sweeping it cleanly without leaving any trace...

Li Xuanming was originally so scared that he wanted to throw all the sword manuals and scrolls into the fire, but after all, young people have a curious mind and felt that learning swordsmanship was a cool thing, so he hesitated.

Again, he put it away carefully.

Later, when he grew up and could read, he began to practice swordsmanship and became a master before he was thirty.

He is extremely talented in learning martial arts and has a strong understanding. He has made great changes on the basis of the original sword manual and created many new moves. Therefore, the roots of Xuanming Sword Technique come from this book The Sword of the Man in Black.

The spectrum is correct, but it actually far surpasses it.

What was recorded on that piece of paper was not a sword move, nor any internal skills, but some very weird qi movement tips. It felt more like some kind of monastic technique?

But when it took him twenty years to finally understand it and be able to operate it freely, he didn't notice any magical effects?

I have neither rejuvenated myself nor become an immortal, nor am I likely to live forever. I just feel that my eyesight has improved a lot, and my Qinggong attainments have also improved a bit.
