One Sword to Heaven

Chapter 19
"Li Qiunan, deputy head of the Pinjian Hall in Lianshui City, was once an inner disciple of our Aojian Villa, and later defected and fled, and took away the Shi Luo Sword obtained from Hidden Sword Mountain. Your assessment task is to assassinate this people and bring back the Shi Luo sword.

Considering your current cultivation level and the long distance from Shuicheng, the time limit for this assessment task is three years. If you have not returned to the gate within three years, the task will be regarded as a failure, but as long as you are not dead, regardless of the success or failure of the task At that time, they must return to the door, otherwise they will also be regarded as fleeing from the door.

However, because the time limit for this assessment task is too long, I have reported to the owner of the village for approval, and made an exception to teach you the second level of the Jianyuan Heart Sutra, the Ningyuan Sword Sha Gong and Yuanying Swordsmanship. I hope you will cherish it. "

Wang Yan sat up and rubbed the back of his neck, which was still aching. Elder Chen's voice seemed to still be echoing in his ears, but he looked around and saw no trace of his old man. Only Chen Hongxiu was sitting with his legs curled up. On a big rock not far away, with his hands on his knees, he stared at the mountains in the distance.

Wang Yan still doesn't understand what's going on, he only remembers that he went to the deacon's house after nightfall, and was taken to the foot of Baijian Mountain by Elder Chen, and then he was suddenly attacked on the back of the neck and passed out , I was already here when I woke up.

Elder Chen's words were still in his ears, and he was gone. Except for Chen Hongxiu beside him, Wang Yan found that there was a folded black gown in front of him, and on the gown was a parchment scroll and three secret books. This secret book is exactly the three exercises mentioned by Elder Chen, but what is drawn on the parchment is a map.

Looking at the secret book in front of him, Wang Yan suddenly had the feeling of being hit by a pie falling from the sky. You must know that the Yuanying sword technique is a sword technique that can only be practiced by the disciples of the Shoushan Mountain, and the Ningyuan Sword Shagong also needs to be the master of the Shoushan Mountain. The disciples can only get it after practicing the Jianyuan Heart Sutra to the sixth level, not to mention the sixth and seventh levels of the Jianyuan Heart Sutra. In this way, the Jianyuan Heart Sutra is already complete. All the important secrets available to the disciples were handed over to Wang Yan in advance.

There must be something hidden in this!Wang Yan couldn't help but glanced at Chen Hongxiu not far away, then put away the secret book, picked up the clothes on the ground, and stood up.

It was still night at this time, and the bright moon was hanging high. Wang Yanneng could see clearly that he should be in a deep mountain and old forest by the clear moonlight. He moved a little closer to Chen Hongxiu, and followed the woman's gaze. Looking at it, the majestic mountain soaring into the sky is so conspicuous, like a giant sword standing between the sky and the earth.

"Is that Sword Worship Mountain?"

Wang Yan didn't like Chen Hongxiu very much, but Chen Hongxiu knew much more about the current situation than he did, so he wanted to get some information from Chen Hongxiu through Huatou.

"Those who are sincere to the sword, look at it and feel worship in their hearts, so it is the mountain of worshiping the sword. If you have no respect in your heart, it is not your mountain of worshiping the sword. If you have respect in your heart, why do you need to ask?"

Chen Hong didn't turn her head back, but just opened her red lips lightly, and her thin voice drifted into Wang Yan's ears with the night wind.The corners of Wang Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't know how to continue what he said. In the end, his heart broke, and he said softly, "Are you a descendant of Elder Chen?"

Swish.

Chen Hongxiu turned her head to look at Wang Yan, sneered, and said, "You don't have to pry around so carefully, there is no shady secret in it, I'll tell you the truth."

With that said, Chen Hongxiu stood up, pointed at the Sword-Worshiping Mountain and said, "I grew up there since I was a child, but I have never been to a place above the mountainside. No, my mother died after giving birth to me, and I don't know who my father is. I've followed old man Chen since I can remember.

When I was young, old man Chen told me that I was not allowed to practice martial arts before, and I didn't ask why, but I often sneaked out of the mountain gate, went to a nearby town to learn some three-legged cat kung fu, and then fought with people to the death, every time I was covered in cuts and bruises Back to the mountain, old man Chen never scolded me.

Then I finally got it. Old man Chen passed on the martial arts of my Aojian Mountain Villa, but he grounded me in the Sword Worship Mountain. I didn't ask why. I just practiced sword day and night, always thinking that one day I would be able to beat Chen I am free, old man.

It's a pity that the idea has not been realized yet. A few days ago, Old Man Chen officially included me in the gate of Aojian Villa and asked me to start as a handyman disciple. Then he told me that there is a special test for the handyman disciple. I need to perform the task, but I have to defeat the other handyman disciples first.

This time I also didn't ask why, but I knew that old man Chen wanted me to stay away from the door temporarily, so as not to be affected by what was going to happen later, he wanted me to go out to avoid disaster. "

Chen Hongxiu stopped at this point, a tear fell, Wang Yan showed a puzzled expression, and said, "Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I feel that my idea has no chance of being realized. Someone has to know before it is shattered. They know that I once had such an idea and that defeating Old Man Chen was my entire life."

"Why did it collapse?"

Chen Hongxiu wiped away the tears with his sleeves, looked up at the Sword Mountain, and said: "Because when I enter the revolving door again, old man Chen may not be there anymore."

gone?die? !
Wang Yan didn't understand why Chen Hongxiu came to such a conclusion, but he knew that Chen Hongxiu must know some secrets, but if such secrets could kill people like Elder Chen, Wang Yan felt that it would be better not to inquire.

Facing the silent Wang Yan, Chen Hongxiu sneered again, and then said: "You are very smart, but more importantly, you were lucky enough to draw with me today. Old man Chen is upright, and he will do things all his life. Yi, so he also asked you to perform this task, do you know that he let you take your life!"

Take a life?Wang Yan suddenly thought of something, and said: "The situation in the gate has become so severe?"

"It will only be more serious than you imagined! So remember old man Chen, even if he dies, don't forget him, because he saved you, and he saw that you are a malleable talent, so he made an exception and taught you the exercises first. You should always remember."

After saying these words, Chen Hongxiu took a last look at Baijian Mountain, then turned around and walked away. Seeing this, Wang Yan said loudly: "Where are you going?"

"Now that I'm free, I naturally want to enjoy my freedom. As for what tasks you like to do or not, it has nothing to do with me."

Before the words settled down, Chen Hongxiu clicked his feet, and his figure quickly disappeared into the dense forest and disappeared. Wang Yan stood alone in the same place, looked back at Baijian Mountain, and murmured: "Is it life-saving grace?" ? But I haven’t said goodbye to Master Bao yet.”

Suddenly, Wang Yan felt a little ridiculous, and left Aojian Villa, which contained everything in his past. The only thing he cared about in his heart was Zhang Xiaobao.It's a pity that the matter has come to this point, and I can't say goodbye to Bao Ye, but I don't know if Bao Ye can become the so-called "great character" in his own words.

And wait for tomorrow!

Wang Yan sighed softly, then glanced at the map in his hand, and strode away in the opposite direction where Chen Hongxiu left without looking back.
