The wind and snow are still there, but greenery has emerged from the soil by the river, which is a sign that winter is about to pass.
Yu Xingyang stopped by a huge rock on the grass. His eyes fell on the stream in the river. The sound of spring gurgling water is particularly moving. If you have listened carefully, you will find that the breath of spring is always very beautiful.
It is easy to infect a person's emotions.
At the end of the flowing water is a majestic mountain with a severe climate. The top of the mountain is as high as a cloud, and the whole mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round.
Ding Meng walked up: "That's where we are going?"
Yu Xingyang nodded: "Before I take you to leave the Dasheng Kingdom, that is the last stop I want to go to!"
Ding Meng said: "Oh?"
Yu Xingyang said: "I still have an unfinished date."
Ding Meng didn't ask what the date was, because along the way, Yu Xingyang didn't say a few words except to teach him the sword skills. Yu Xingyang was not a talkative person, and Ding Meng
Even less so.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xingyang made an exception this time. He looked at the stream in trance and said with emotion: "The last time I came here was twenty years ago."
Yu Xingyang truly became famous at the Kyoto Martial Arts Conference seven years ago. Although his limelight was taken away by his eldest brother, who in the Dasheng Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom outside the territory does not know his name? It was only twenty years ago that Yu Xingyang
He was still in his youth, and he actually came to Dasheng Kingdom at that time. Even Ding Meng was curious this time: "You came here specifically?"
Yu Xingyang nodded: "Actually, many people don't know that although I am from the Demon Kingdom, I have traveled around the five major kingdoms since I was a child. I came here to see him twenty years ago, and I also made a special trip to come here today.
Pick him up and leave..."
Ding Meng stopped asking questions and waited for twenty years. This man must be a very important person to Yu Xingyang.
Yu Xingyang smiled: "You must be curious, what kind of person is he?"
Ding Meng was indeed curious: "Your friend?"
Yu Xingyang smiled and shook his head: "Forty years ago, I was about the same age as you, and we were playing together by a river like this and catching fish together. At that time, I hadn't awakened the source energy, and neither had he. I
Only now do I realize that death is the happiest thing in a person's life..."
Only people like him would have this weird idea, because dead people are truly carefree, while living people will always have worries of one kind or another.
But Ding Meng could understand his thoughts. A master with such amazing talents like Yu Xingyang must be very lonely alive. There are not many people who can arouse his interest. It seems that this person who lives deep in the mountains
He must also be a master.
Yu Xingyang looked up at the mountains, his eyes full of expectation, and he sighed longly: "If I can take him away this time, I will not set foot in the five major countries in the future. I just want to pass on my skills to
You, then retire
Under the pastoral fence, don’t worry about the right and wrong in the world. If you have the opportunity to meet your elder brother or that girl Ding Wenhe, please tell them on your behalf that I, Yu Xingyang, have also done my best for this heroic knife.
force."
Ding Meng quickly bowed his head and thanked: "Mr. Yu, please rest assured, I will definitely bring you."
The two stood by the river for a long time. At this time, the clouds and mist dispersed, and the sky revealed a blue color. They walked up the mountain in the warm sunshine.
There are hiking trails on this mountain. The simple stone stairs at each step are long and flat. The surface of the stone is smooth and shiny. It has obviously been carefully polished. This is not a simple place as imagined.
Sure enough, halfway up the mountain, there was a very exquisitely repaired waterside pavilion. There was a long plaque cast on the pavilion, with three beautiful gold characters engraved on it: Lingxian Gate.
This is obviously a sect, and judging from the clothes, speech and behavior of the two women in the pavilion, this sect must be quite powerful.
The sects of Dasheng Kingdom are rarely stationed in the mountains and fields. Most of them are stationed in the main city and have good relations with the royal nobles. This kind of sect hidden in the mountains has never been too concerned about worldly matters and only focuses on resting.
Qing repair.
As soon as they saw Yu Xingyang appearing on the trail, the two women immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Dear guest, please stay. Our Immortal Sect has always refused male guests to enter. Please go down the mountain on your own. If there is any offense, please forgive me."
Yu Xingyang also bowed and returned the greeting: "You two girls, my name is Yu Xingyang. I come from the demonic country outside the territory. I made an appointment with the master of the sect many years ago to meet in your sect today. I would like to trouble you to pass the news on my behalf."
These two people must also know Yu Xingyang's famous name, so one of them turned around and went up the mountain.
Ding Meng secretly wondered if this Lingxian Sect was a women's sect. There were actually many women's sects in the Dasheng Kingdom. The main reason was that the secret cultivation methods of these sects were limited to women, so they only recruited female disciples. Normally, men were not allowed to visit.
, and once one joins these sects, they often practice cultivation throughout their lives and never talk about marriage between men and women.
Could it be that the person Yu Xingyang wanted to pick up was a woman?
The person who went there quickly returned: "Mr. Yu, the master of the house has invited you!"
At the top of the mountain, under the solemn and majestic building of Lingxian Sect is a very spacious and flat fighting platform. Dozens of women in green clothes are surrounding the fighting platform. These disciples are all beautiful in appearance, but their expressions are as cold as ice.
It's obviously due to sect rules.
At the gate of the temple on the first floor, a graceful old man in green clothes walked out surrounded by a group of people. She looked a bit old, but her bearing and style were the best among women. There was a meeting on the south side of the fighting stage.
She sat down on the guest table and chairs, feeling an aura of calmness and authority coming over her face.
Although Ding Meng is not an energy user, he can still feel that the aura emanating from this woman is very oppressive, making it difficult to open one's eyes. This is Ling Yuelan, the leader of the Lingxian Sect. She founded this sect single-handedly.
say yes
Xunxian asked, in fact, what he was most proud of was the Lingxian swordsmanship. However, the sect had never participated in kingdom activities and was aloof from the world. But for a master of swordsmanship like Yu Xingyang, Lingxian Sect was
A thunderous presence.
As soon as he saw Ling Yuelan, Yu Xingyang stood up and said: "Master Ling, today is the twenty-year appointment, and I have made a special trip to visit you."
Ling Yuelan did not answer him directly, but asked instead: "Little friend Yu, if I remember correctly, at the Kyoto Martial Arts Conference seven years ago, you were knocked off your weapon by an unknown person in one move, right?"
Yu Xingyang looked calm. Instead of feeling ashamed about this incident, he was full of gratitude. "Big Brother" explained to him the true meaning of "swordsman" from another angle, so he replied: "Yes!"
Ling Yuelan added: "But in the martial arts conference two years ago, you were defeated by the kingdom's general Tian Qing, right?"
This question made Yu Xingyang blush a little, but he still answered honestly: "I am not good at academics, I feel deeply guilty, but my skills are not as good as others, so I am willing to admit defeat."
Ling Yuelan then turned her head and glanced at him: "It's not like you are inferior to others. You must know that Tianqing was defeated by you with one move seven years ago. How come you were defeated by him two years ago?"
Yu Xingyang could understand the meaning of these words. The old man was questioning his own strength and retreating instead of advancing.
In the past five years, he had spent most of his time looking for his elder brother, focusing on his sword skills during his spare time while traveling. His progress was definitely not as good as Tian Qing's, but he could not explain the reasons for these twists and turns in this situation.
"The decision of victory or defeat is just like beauty, it can only be determined in an instant. What's more, the essence of the sword is not determined by victory or defeat." Yu Xingyang replied without humility.
Ling Yuelan looked at him in surprise: "I still underestimate you. Not only have you not regressed in these years, you have actually made progress."
Yu Xingyang had no choice but to bow and salute: "Thank you very much for the compliment, Master, but the twenty-year appointment has come. Can I take Long Yao down the mountain?"
Ling Yuelan slowly stood up and sighed: "Little friend Yu, I also admire your deep affection. I also promised you twenty years ago that as long as you find the immortal seal of my immortal sect,
"Reply, I agree to everything you ask for. I didn't expect that in just twenty years, you not only helped me find it, but also made rapid progress, became famous all over the world, and became a king of swords."
"Don't dare!" Yu Xingyang saluted again.
Ling Yuelan continued: "But twenty years ago, I also said that Long Yao is extremely talented and is a unique prodigy in practicing my Lingxian Sword Technique. If you come here again twenty years later, if she has achieved success,
Then I can only ask you to leave. If she cannot master this sword technique, you can take her away."
Yu Xingyang asked cautiously: "I wonder how Long Yao is progressing?"
Ling Yuelan's tone became serious: "I'm very sorry. She has achieved great success in Lingxian swordsmanship last year. I also intend to pass her on as the leader of the sect and lead my sect in the future to carry it forward."
Once you become the master of the Lingxian Sect, you are basically cut off from all emotions and desires, and it is absolutely impossible to marry a man.
It was only then that Ding Meng realized that the person Yu Xingyang came to pick up was his childhood sweetheart. He didn't know why he joined such a strange sect, and Ling Yuelan didn't know what strange request he had made to him.
, asking him to find some immortal seal.
Ling Yuelan probably didn't expect that Yu Xingyang would actually find it back.
This process must be very arduous and dangerous, and it is extremely difficult to achieve without extreme strength. Therefore, Yu Xingyang can be regarded as a generation of genius. In just over ten years, he has mastered the Wuxiang Sword Technique. The Wuxiang Divine Sword is also famous all over the world.
It is not difficult to explain why he is a master among the younger generation. This speed is indeed fast.
Now that twenty years have passed, he didn't expect that Ling Yuelan would actually throw up such a difficult problem. Ding Meng believed that with Yu Xingyang's personality, he would never give up.
During this period of their journey together, Ding Meng knew Yu Xingyang to a certain extent. Yu Xingyang was not only a master of swordsmanship, but also a lonely and proud man.
A proud person never lowers his proud head.
Ling Yuelan seemed to understand this, so she changed her words and said: "I have used love when you were so young, so I can understand your thoughts. You are willing to wait for someone for twenty years, so of course your intentions are true.
, but this matter is related to the future of my Immortal Sect. In this way, I will give you a chance. If you can beat this Lingxian sword technique, I allow you to go down the mountain and leave today."
