The master and apprentice talked for a long time. Chen Xinzhu hesitated for a long time before asking.
"Master, I heard from Uncle Yan that you have been looking bad recently?"
Hearing this, Yan Youxing felt a flash of hesitation in his heart, and quickly smiled as if nothing had happened.
"It's okay, I'm just worried because you haven't come back yet."
Seeing what he said, although Chen Xinzhu still had doubts, it was hard to ask again.
Yan Youxing glanced out the window and whispered to Chen Xinzhu.
"Okay, that's it for today. Your cultivation is kept secret for the time being. You can just use the heritage of our Huashan Sect to enhance your strength."
After a slight pause, Yan Youxing continued.
"As for your named disciple Huang Shan, I will ask Yi Lin to arrange an elder status for him and focus on alchemy. As for the little girl from southern Xinjiang, let her enter the outer gate first."
"good."
Chen Xinzhu has no objection.
Seeing this, Yan Youxing smiled softly.
"That's it. You go back and have a good night's rest. I will make the preparations and come back to me tomorrow morning."
"Understood."
Soon, Chen Xinzhu said goodbye and left.
Looking at Chen Xinzhu's retreating figure, Yan Youxing's expression became extremely gentle.
After a long while, he sighed softly and turned around and entered the house.
…
After leaving Yan Youxing's mansion, Chen Xinzhu came to Huangshan and Zhifeng Xiaoyue's temporary residence and explained the arrangements for them.
After that, after more than a year, Chen Xinzhu returned to his Qingzhu courtyard again.
Looking at the crescent moon hanging outside the window, Chen Xinzhu felt a little curious.
"What will be the heritage and inheritance of Huashan?"
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Chen Xinzhu came to Yan Youxing's mansion on the top of the mountain again.
"Coming."
"Master." Chen Xinzhu saluted respectfully.
Nodding, Yan Youxing walked out first.
"Come with me."
Soon, the two came to the edge of a cliff somewhere.
Chen Xinzhu looked up and saw two peaks standing there as straight as swords in the endless sea of clouds.
"This is?"
"This is Chaoyang, the east peak, and Zixia, the main peak, among the five peaks of Mount Hua."
"Are these the five peaks of Mount Huashan?"
Chen Xinzhu was a little emotional. When he first entered the inner gate, he saw the five peaks of Mount Huashan from a distance.
At one point, this was even the goal.
Now that nearly two years have passed, are we finally going to set foot on the Five Peaks?
After looking at Chen Xinzhu, Yan Youxing introduced.
"The five peaks of Huashan Mountain are places where spiritual energy gathers and are most suitable for practice. Among them, Zixia Peak, the main peak, is the practice place of the leaders of the past generations. It is also the most important inheritance place of the Huashan Sect."
After a slight pause, Yan Youxing continued.
"Your cultivation is still a secret, so let me take you up."
"Understood."
Soon, the purple sword light swept up the two of them and flew quickly towards Zixia Peak.
Coming closer, Chen Xinzhu finally saw the whole picture of Zixia Peak.
The mountain shape is as straight as a sword, and the vegetation on the mountain is also the same. It seems that the heart is higher than the sky and unwilling to bend down.
Arriving at the corner of the top of the mountain, Yan Youxing and Chen Xinzhu landed in front of a cliff.
Chen Xinzhu's eyes swept over him and he didn't notice anything unusual despite his deep thoughts.
Yan Youxing didn't say anything. He took out a purple-gold token from his arms and started to move his sword.
Buzz!
Purple divine light emitted and shone on the cliff.
Boom!!
The cliff wall shrank, and a gate several meters high appeared in an instant.
"If you want to enter here, you must meet two conditions. The first is to hold the leader's token, and the second is to master at least one of Zixia Magic and Dugu Nine Swords."
After giving Chen Xinzhu a brief explanation, Yan Youxing took the lead.
"Let's go in."
Boom!
As the two people entered, the cliff fell again.
Inside the cliff, Yan Youxing's true energy was emitted, and purple light illuminated the entire space.
The location where they are at the moment is a staircase entrance.
Snap! Snap!
Crisp footsteps sounded, and Chen Xinzhu followed Yan Youxing, stepping on the stairs and slowly going down.
"As a top sect with a long history, our Huashan sect has not only unique skills and magical skills, but also a place for inheritance."
Yan Youxing smiled softly and continued.
"This time, the place I take you to is the most important inheritance place of our Huashan Sect, the Ancestral Master Hall."
"Ancestral Hall?"
"Well, there are sword tablets left by the ancestors of the past generations in the Patriarch Hall. On them are the experiences of the Patriarchs of the past generations on the Dugu Nine Swords."
Having said this, Yan Youxing smiled at Chen Xinzhu.
"Didn't you say that your Dugu Nine Swords has reached a bottleneck? This is just the place to help you."
"Sounds good." Chen Xinzhu was very interested.
"You'll know when we get there."
Yan Youxing didn't explain much.
Soon, the two passed through one stone gate after another. Chen Xinzhu estimated that they had walked down at least a thousand meters before finally arriving at the Ancestral Hall.
At the end of the stairs is a huge stone door tens of meters high.
At the top of the stone gate, there are three huge inscriptions with flying dragons and phoenixes.
——Ancestral Hall!
Chen Xinzhu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to see an overwhelming sword light from these three words.
However, there seems to be some gap and lack of realism.
"It is said that these three characters were carved by the ancestor Zixia Zhenren himself, and they contain the great secret of swordsmanship. However, I have been in and out of the ancestor hall dozens of times, but I haven't been able to understand the slightest bit. It seems that I still can't get into the eyes of the ancestor.
.”
At the end of the sentence, Yan Youxing smiled jokingly.
Hearing this, Chen Xinzhu looked away from the carving and replied with a smile.
"The same goes for the disciple."
After the words fell, the master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled.
"Okay, inside the stone gate is the Patriarch Hall. On the left is the ancestral hall where the tablets of the ancestors of the past are enshrined. On the right is the sword monument."
Speaking of this, Yan Youxing gave a special warning.
"Hsinchu, if you go to the ancestral hall, be careful not to damage the tablets of the ancestors."
"Master, don't worry, I will remember this."
Yan Youxing nodded and introduced again.
"The right side of the Sword Monument is divided into nine halls. The Dugu Nine Swords are in one hall. Only by understanding the previous sword can you enter the next hall. As for the method of entering the next hall, you only need to release the true meaning of the Dugu Nine Swords.
