It's really hard for Qin Yun to answer this question, because his grandfather Qin Yang once told him before his death that he must not reveal his identity to avoid causing trouble.
He wanted to say that he didn't know that his parents died young, but for some reason, he felt in his heart that such a lie would never be able to hide from the unfathomable ancestor of the Qin family in front of him.
When he was hesitating, the ancestor did not ask further questions, but just smiled faintly: "Bring me your sword..."
This time Qin Yun didn't hesitate anymore and immediately took off the Qinggang Sword and presented it with both hands.
With the ancestor's identity and status, it was absolutely impossible for him to have any greed, but he was even more confused.
The ancestor took it and looked at it, then reached out and pulled out the long sword.
Clang!
The sword screamed with a clear sound, and the slender sword body glowed with a dazzling sword light like autumn water, and the sharpness was overwhelming.
The ancestor flicked the sword lightly with his fingers and sighed: "It has been twenty years, and I never thought I could see this Qinggang Sword again."
What!?
Qin Yun was immediately shocked.
The ancestor smiled, but there was a hint of sadness and bitterness in his smile: "You don't need to be surprised. In fact, from the first time I saw you, I knew you were the child of Yuan Feng and Mingyue."
"This Qinggang Sword was made by myself back then. It cost three kilograms of mica fine gold. It was considered a gift to Yuan Feng. It's a pity..."
"Grandpa, you and my father..."
Qin Yun was so shocked that he could hardly speak. He never dreamed that his father, whom he had never met before, was related to his ancestor.
"Yuan Feng is my youngest disciple. Although he comes from a side branch, he has outstanding talents and a strong character. There is no one more outstanding than him among his peers!" The ancestor said slowly: "It's just because of the rules of the family.
, I can only secretly accept him as my disciple, hoping that he can revitalize the Qin family branch."
"But God did not follow his wishes. Your father met your mother. Perhaps this was destined to be a disaster that he could not avoid in his life. But I was practicing in seclusion at the time, and when I came out, it was too late."
The gray-haired old man's eyes flashed with sadness and a little bit of regret: "Afterwards, I sent people to collect your father's bones, and asked people to ask around, but unfortunately I could never find your whereabouts.
I know your mother is under house arrest in the palace."
"Grandpa, do you know where my father is buried now?" Qin Yun asked with red eyes.
"He is buried in the tomb of the Qin clan. You should not go and pay homage now, because your identity will continue to be hidden." The ancestor said: "Whenever you can rescue your mother, you can then honor your father's bones."
Welcome back to the ancestral hall!"
"Although I am a veteran of the Qin family, there are many things I cannot control myself. You will gradually understand in the future."
Qin Yun could hear a hint of helplessness in his voice. Although he still had too much confusion in his heart, he didn't want to go against his ancestor's wishes.
The clan tomb is the cemetery where the Qin family buries ordinary clan members, while only important family members are eligible to be buried in the ancestral hall. The meanings they represent are very different.
Even the ancestors couldn't bury Qin Yun's father's bones in the ancestral hall, so there must be some difficulties.
"Grandpa, when can I save my mother?"
This question has been lingering in Qin Yun's mind for a long time.
"There are many masters in the Dayan Royal Family, and there are many beings stronger than me. There are also powerful Huagang masters in the Forbidden Palace!" The ancestor warned: "If you want to save your mother, you must at least have the realm of Huagang.
, to achieve Leiyin Sword Qi and even refine the sword into silk, otherwise you will die in vain if you go in!"
"I understand!" Qin Yun nodded vigorously: "I will definitely work hard!"
No matter how many difficulties and dangers there are, he must fulfill Qin Yang's last wish and rescue his mother who is suffering so much!
The ancestor asked him about what happened before he came to the Qin family again, and Qin Yun told him everything in detail.
Of course, he still concealed the secret of the Qiankun Sky-Mending Stone.
After hearing this, the ancestor was very sad: "Your grandfather Qin Yang's real name should be Han Fang. He is an old servant who has always followed your father. It is rare to be so loyal. It is a pity..."
Looking at the resolute young man in front of him, the ancestor's eyes softened: "Filial piety comes first. I am very happy that you have the intention and determination to save your mother and fulfill your filial piety. I also believe that with your talent, you will not be too young that day. distant."
He reached out from the case and took out an antique wooden box.
Opening the lid of the box reveals a book with a yellowed surface inside.
"This secret book of Xuan Gong was written by me twenty years ago. It records the cultivation methods of the first three levels of Jiuyang Xuan Gong. After being integrated and mastered, it will allow you to break through the innate realm!"
Qin Yun suddenly became energetic. His progress in strength was astonishing. He had reached a bottleneck after breaking through the fifth heaven. If he wanted to continue to advance, he could no longer rely on the blazing mental technique.
This profound mental method is absolutely perfect.
He couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, did you recognize me, that's why you wanted to reward me with this scroll of Nine Yang Mysterious Skills?"
The ancestor chuckled: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be able to ignore the family rules and teach you Xuan Kung privately."
"You should study this secret book carefully and destroy it once you have memorized it. Remember not to fall into the hands of others."
He handed the book box and the Qinggang Sword into Qin Yun's hands at the same time: "This sword is destined to you. The spirit sword has become a fetus. As long as you use the true air to nourish it day and night, it will definitely break the fetus and transform into a spirit. It will be beneficial to your future." Helpful.”
"My life is approaching, and I will retreat again in three days to reach the realm. This retreat will take at least three years, and I may never be able to break through it, so I can only walk on my own in the future."
A warrior's lifespan will be increased after refining his Qi. If he is promoted to the Xiantian realm, his lifespan can be extended by twenty or thirty years. When he reaches the Huagang realm, his lifespan can be increased by ten years for each level he is promoted to.
But even a Qi practitioner who pursues immortality cannot survive more than five years after cultivating to the realm of harmony between man and nature.
The wind and rain will always blow away the wind, and no matter how heroic you are, you will never escape a cup of loess in the end!
"You are too sharp today. If you continue to stay in the Qin family, I'm afraid your identity will be exposed one day."
"The Tiancheng Sword Sect will reopen its doors in October this year. I still have some friendship with Qingyunzi from Tiancheng. You can join his sect with the letter of recommendation I gave you!"
Become a member of the Tiancheng Sword Sect!
Qin Yun felt excited because this was the only way to realize his wish.
Qin Yun originally thought that he would have to work hard in the Qin family for several years before he would have a chance. Unexpectedly, his ancestor paved the way for him. This favor was absolutely huge.
He immediately put down the Qinggang Sword and the Secret Book, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times respectfully: "Thank you, Grandpa, for making it possible!"
"Don't be too happy too early..."
The ancestor stretched out his hand and lifted Qin Yun up with a soft force of energy: "You will only be an outer disciple at most. You will inevitably have to endure some hardships. There are many geniuses among the disciples in the sect. Can you learn from it? Reaching the supreme swordsmanship depends on your own efforts."
Although this was the case, Qin Yun's joy did not diminish by half.
He never expected to reach the sky in one step, and he was very lucky to be able to become a disciple of Tiancheng Sword Sect.
As long as he has the opportunity to learn the supreme swordsmanship, he is willing to endure any hardship!
"One last thing. In three days it will be the birthday of an old friend of mine from the Fang family. You can go and celebrate his birthday on my behalf. The congratulatory letter, congratulatory gift and the letter of recommendation are all placed in the wooden box."
"Yes!" Qin Yun saluted again.
"Okay, you go!" The ancestor waved his sleeves and shouted in a deep voice: "Remember what I told you today, and remember not to mention it to anyone."
"Remember! In martial arts and swordsmanship, move forward with heart!"
Qin Yun's heart was shaken, and he had a vague feeling in his heart that he might never see this kind and stern grandfather again!
With a bit of awe, a bit of excitement and a bit of sadness, Qin Yun left Lingyun Pavilion.
He probably wouldn't have thought that it would be a long, long time in the future for him to step here again.
In the attic, the ancestor was silent for a long time, and then he sighed softly until the tea in the cup was completely cold.
…
Night falls slowly, and the first day of the Qin clan's new promotion assessment comes to an end.
There are undoubtedly many topics to talk about in this day's newcomer competition, such as the presence of the ancestors and six hall masters to watch, the wonderful contest between Qin Suifeng and Qin Chongyang at the beginning, and several martial arts disciples who stood out and became famous in one battle.
But the most talked about thing is the life and death showdown between Qin Yun and Qin Jun.
No one would have expected that Qin Yun, who was not expected at all beforehand, would show off an astonishing amount of fighting power and completely defeat his opponent who had been in the field for five years as a rookie of half a year.
This duel was a wonderful one, with unexpected ups and downs in the process, and no one could guess the final outcome.
Qin Jun's shameful defeat became the object of contempt for many people. Those who bet on him wanted to destroy him, but it made many of the disciples who set bets at the beginning and bet on Qin Yun's victory smile crookedly.
Because of his victory in this battle, Qin Yun won the favor of his ancestor and was bestowed with the Nine Yang Mysterious Skill, which aroused countless envy and jealousy.
He was equally popular among the Qin clan and Muyang Dao, and became the focus of many people's attention. No matter where he went, there would be people pointing fingers.
This made Qin Yun very troubled because he didn't like it.
Some people are proud and others are frustrated. There are rumors that Qin Wenbing, the second son of the third direct lineage, was furious after Qin Jun died in the battle. He went home and broke ancient porcelain worth thousands of gold, and beat several servants who made small mistakes, causing the third family to suffer.
Everyone in the house is in danger.
There are also rumors that Qin Lihai, the leader of the Punishment Hall, who is also Qin Wenbing's father, lost twenty pieces of top-quality spiritual jade, and may cause trouble for Qin Yun and the Foreign Affairs Hall.
However, no matter how loud the rumors outside were, they could not affect Qin Yun.
After returning from Lingyun Pavilion, he invited Qin Mingzhu, Fang Yi and others to a party at Longqing Restaurant.
Qin Yun just briefly talked about the ancestor's summons, and finally mentioned the Fang family's birthday banquet three days later.
After hearing this, Fang Yi's eyes flashed and she said, "Qin Yun, I'll go with you."
Only then did Qin Yun remember that she was from the Fang clan.
