In a small courtyard in Yuelai Lane in the west of the city.
A group of young people in green shirts were sitting together, discussing something in a lively atmosphere.
Zhu Quan was sitting in the crowd, looking slightly excited, and kept talking and discussing with everyone.
When everyone was talking and getting excited, there was suddenly a knock on the door from the direction of the courtyard door.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, with some nervous expressions on their faces.
Zhu Quan was the first to get up. He motioned to everyone to be silent, then walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?"
The person outside the door was silent for a while, and then said: "I'm here to find Mr. Zhu Quan."
It's a woman's voice.
The young people in the room suddenly looked at Zhu Quan with strange expressions, some with doubts and others with teasing expressions.
Zhu Quan looked a little confused.
He hesitated for a while and then opened the door.
I saw a woman dressed in black, carrying a silver gun on her back and holding a sack in her hand, standing at the door.
Zhu Quan blinked and looked the woman up and down.
She looks pretty, with a bit of heroism that ordinary women don't have, and she looks heroic.
"Girl? Do we know each other?" Zhu Quan blinked and looked at each other in confusion.
"Uncle Zhu asked me to come." The woman said and put the sack in her hand on the ground.
Zhu Quan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. His expression suddenly changed, and he looked angry: "Don't try to persuade me, it's useless. Go back and tell my father that I can't learn to practice swords again!"
"
His voice was obviously louder, and his words directly blocked the possibility of any further conversation.
But faced with his resolute attitude, the woman in front of him looked calm.
She just put the sack in her hand on the ground, pointed at it, then looked at Zhu Quanyan and said, "You lie down in it yourself, or should I knock you unconscious and put it in?"
"Huh?" Zhu Quan was stunned by the woman's strange words.
Before he could respond, the woman sighed: "Well, it looks like I'm the only one who can do it myself!"
"No..." Zhu Quan obviously didn't understand what this woman wanted to do.
But the other party was obviously not willing to give him a chance to say more. As soon as he spoke, a hand of the other party stretched out, making a knife-like shape, and hit his neck. At that moment, Zhu Quan
With a twist of his neck, he fainted.
Many young people in the room were shocked when they saw this scene. They stared at this scene with their eyes wide open. They saw that the woman was very skillful in reaching out and carrying the unconscious Zhu Quan into her belt.
He put the sack on his shoulders and looked back at the people in the room.
Everyone's faces turned pale and they all looked away.
"You continue." The woman smiled brightly at them, and the next moment she carried the sack and left without looking back.
…
"My name is Sun Li."
"He is a disciple of Shenhe Peak. The sword that my little brother saw just now is the spiritual sword I got in the Yaoguang Sword Pond, which is called Liaoyuan."
"You have been with me for more than 40 years."
In a wine shop, an old man named Sun Li stood up and poured himself a glass of wine. As he spoke, he handed the wine bottle to Chu Qingxiao.
Chu Qingxiao quickly said: "I don't drink."
After hearing this, Sun Li frowned slightly and seemed a little strange: "A grown man, how can you not drink?"
Firstly, the other party is his employer, and secondly, the other party is much older than him.
It was not easy for him to refute, so he just responded with a wry smile.
Seeing him like this, Sun Li couldn't say anything more and sat back down again.
Seeing this, Chu Qingxiao hurriedly asked: "Then what is the problem now?"
When this matter was mentioned, Sun Li sighed.
"According to the regulations of Tianxuan Mountain, if the holder of the spirit sword reaches the age of seventy and has not taken up a position in the sect, he should return the spirit sword to the sect."
"Although I'm a little bit reluctant to leave, after all, my old friend has been with me for many years. In the past forty years, we have killed the Wei people in the north and the resurrected Long Kui in the east."
"I have captured demons from outside the territory, and also dealt with bandits in the mountains."
"My old man and I have really experienced countless lives and deaths..."
When Sun Li said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "So, I really don't want to let go."
"But at my age, my body and bones are not as strong as before, and my cultivation has begun to decline. I can no longer serve the sect, and I can no longer wield the sword like a young man. The sect will also give us some money every month to support us.
Although we don’t have many, it’s not difficult to support us in old age with the savings we made when we were young. It’s really time to send this spirit sword back and give it to the younger generations to do heroic deeds.”
"Although it took some time, I made up my mind about a year ago to send my old friend back..."
"The accident probably started at that time."
"Tianxuan Mountain has always had regulations. Whether it is a spiritual sword, a royal sword or a divine sword, the holder cannot personally send the sword to the Yaoguang Sword Pond."
"First of all, considering that the sword and the person have been together for a long time and have a connection with each other, this behavior will probably make it difficult for people to let go, so the holder will not be allowed to come to the scene in person."
"Secondly, once the Divine Sword enters the Yaoguang Sword Pool, the Zhenling people guarding the Yaoguang Sword Pool will find a way to put the Divine Sword into a deep sleep and wait for its next master. If the old master is still there, this process will
It will become extremely troublesome.”
"So I want my lover to help me return the spirit sword to the Yaoguang Sword Pond."
"I have been a disciple at Shenhe Peak for more than 40 years. I have some acquaintances in the sect, but several disciples came one after another. Every time I wanted to take the sword, my old man seemed to feel something, and he would
He rushed out of the scabbard and wounded the young man who took the sword."
"After too many times, no one from Shenhe Peak is willing to come, and I can't go, so I can only find a way from Qinghuan Mansion."
"But many people came one after another. They were full of confidence at first, but when they took the swords together, they went crazy and injured several people one after another. If I hadn't taken control, I'm afraid there would have been a riot.
Life is here..."
When Sun Li said this, he couldn't help but sigh, looking a little helpless.
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he understood the whole story.
However, although he had indeed seen the magic of the spiritual sword named Liaoyuan before, he still found it unbelievable.
According to what Sun Li said, the prairie fire sword in his hand obviously has its own consciousness. This is not a strange thing. The sword has its own spirit, so it can only choose its master.
But such spiritual consciousness usually behaves extremely ignorant.
Most of the time, it's more about simple likes and dislikes.
According to what Chu Qingxiao saw at Sun Li's home, the prairie fire sword seemed to have a consciousness similar to that of a living being...
It was even able to understand Chu Qingxiao's words, so it reacted and wanted to attack Chu Qingxiao. After Sun Li's explanation, it became calm again. This performance undoubtedly confirmed that he could not only understand human speech, but also meant that
He can even understand the logic of various relationships between people...
You must know that even the higher-level Earth Demon King Sword and the sword spirit of the Tiangang Divine Sword may not have such special abilities.
"Then senior, haven't you ever thought about telling the top management of Tianxuan Mountain about this?" Chu Qingxiao asked again.
In his opinion, it should be unusual for this spiritual sword to produce such spiritual wisdom. No matter what the purpose, Tianxuan Mountain should send some people with advanced cultivation to investigate.
But after hearing this, Sun Li smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Although I have some acquaintances at Shenhe Peak, most of them are just old men of the same age as me, and their positions are not too high. When they get older, they are all half
In a retired state, I have no real power, so if I want to report this matter, I have to go through the normal process."
"But there are nine divine peaks and tens of thousands of disciples inside Tianxuan Mountain, and there are millions of outer sect and handyman disciples in Tianxuan City outside."
"There are so many disciples, and everyone has their own affairs. There are never enough manpower to deal with these, so the response is relatively slow."
"Before, when I was a disciple of the inner sect, it was okay and I could report the matter directly through Shenfeng. But now that I have retired, I am an inner sect disciple in name, but my household registration has been filed in the outer sect. If I want to report this kind of thing,
It must first be reviewed by Tianxuan City and then handed over to the Divine Peak. I started to do it a few months ago, but there is still no response. I think it has just disappeared."
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he couldn't help but frown. The old man in front of him had stayed in Tianxuan Mountain for more than forty years, and he had made great contributions to Tianxuan Mountain. However, when he was old, Tianxuan Mountain's attitude towards him seemed...
Quite indifferent.
Such a large sect is known as the leader in swordsmanship in the world, but in many ways it seems cold and impersonal.
Seeing this, Sun Li secretly thought that Chu Qingxiao felt that the matter was difficult and did not want to intervene anymore.
He sighed, stood up and said: "I know this is troublesome. Among the people who have tried this one after another, there are many inner disciples who have cultivated to the fourth and fifth realms, but it is difficult for them not to hurt me.
Under the premise of being an old man, we can solve this problem."
"Don't worry, little friend, I will just find a way."
Chu Qingxiao was stunned when he heard this. The reward given by Sun Li was extremely generous, a total of five hundred spiritual iron jade.
If it can be done, Meng Ziliang's participation in the sword ceremony will be settled. Although this matter does reveal weirdness, Chu Qingxiao is not willing to miss this opportunity. He quickly stood up and said: "If the senior is willing, the junior wants to try again."
