The First Sword

Chapter 04 Climbing

At this time, it was early morning, but there was no sunrise. The whole sky was covered with thick clouds, gloomy and solemn. And the air is so dull that it is almost breathless.

Yan Ji and Liang Xiangling packed up their bags. As soon as they pushed the door out of the room, they greeted Zhang Linger and walked towards Liang Xiangling's room. As soon as the door opened, Zhang Linger saw the two brothers, and immediately showed a smile on the corners of her mouth, and then limped over. However, when she saw the sword and package in their hands, Xiu frowned slightly and asked, "Sister Liang and Brother Yan, are you going to go out?"

Liang Xiangling nodded and said, "Yes, we have just received the task ordered by the teacher and asked us to go out immediately."

Zhang Linger lowered her "Oh" and said, "So you are leaving now?" Between her words, there was a faint reluctance. After all, she came here to talk more with these two people, but now she has just met and is about to leave separately.

When Yan Ji saw Zhang Linger walking, her legs and feet were very uncomfortable and asked with concern, "Sister Zhang, is the injury on your foot very serious? If it's inconvenient, don't go everywhere?"

Zhang Linger felt warm in her heart, shook her head gently and whispered, "No, I didn't walk around, I just went to your place to have a look. I came here when I saw you away.

Yan Ji didn't expect Zhang Linger to go to find him. At present, she didn't know how to respond, so she had to say "Oh" and didn't say anything there.

Liang Xiangling looked at Zhang Linger a few times, then looked at Yan Ji, and frowned, "Brother, you just asked Sister Zhang if her foot was seriously injured. Is it that you haven't visited Sister Zhang at all in the past five days? I said the other day that you have a conscience!"

When Yan Ji was said by her senior sister, her face turned red and quickly defended, "No, I have seen Sister Zhang once."

At this time, Zhang Linger also defended Yan Ji and said, "Sister Liang, don't blame Brother Yan. He went to see me and gave me one, such a 'longyan elixir', otherwise I can't get out of bed and walk so quickly!"

Liang Xiangling looked at these two people again and smiled at Yan Ji, "You are really a good person, and you know how to visit them once."

Yan Ji didn't mean that this sentence was satirizing him at this moment. He nodded heavily and said, "Yes, I went to see it once. Except for the time stipulated by the teacher to study Taoism, I was not idle at any other time, and I couldn't spare any more time."

Liang Xiangling listened to Yan Ji's words, and the laughing smile on his face suddenly disappeared. Then he stared at Yan Ji, and his gentle eyes looked deeply at Yan Ji. At this moment, Liang Xiangling couldn't say anything, because she knew very well where her little brother spent the rest of his time. Liang Xiangling stood there for a moment and suddenly said to Zhang Linger, "Sister Zhang, the task is urgent. We are about to leave. You stay here to take good care of your injuries and don't walk around."

Zhang Linger answered, stood there motionless, and said, "Then go quickly and don't delay."

The two said another word of concern to Zhang Linger and turned to the back door of the temple.

Zhang Linger was still standing there at this moment, and Mou Tong, who was shining with water, looked deeply at the backs of the two and watched them leave the stress temple.

When the two figures gradually disappeared and couldn't be seen, Zhang Linger slowly stepped down on the stone steps next to her, lowered her head and held her cheeks, showing a melancholy face, thinking about something.

Maybe I'm wondering why there are fewer and fewer peers around her. In just a few days, it has been reduced from 80 to 40, and the number of close peers with her is gradually decreasing. I don't know when the two will come back after going out this time? Can you come back?

Yan Ji and Liang Xiangling finally walked out of the door of the backyard of the stress temple after several corridors and paths. At this time, there were two young men waiting outside the gate. One was a tall young man in a red coat. He looked 25 or 26 years old and held a red fairy sword in his hand. The other is a handsome young man, dressed in a lavender robe, with a faint smell of books on his face, but he feels like a chic and cynical noble man. He holds a long sword shining with flashing thunder and lightning in his hand.

These two are Xiang Chong, the eldest disciple of the Shaohua faction, and Chen Liang, the young leader of the Yanshan faction.

Although Yan Ji did not know these two people, he guessed that they must be the disciples of the Shaohua faction and the Yanshan faction of the four sects to carry out this task.

Liang Xiangling saw the two people and greeted them, "Mr. Xiang, Mr. Chen, I have kept you waiting for a long time."

Xiang and Chen also returned the gift immediately. Xiang Chong only returned the gift and didn't say anything politely. Instead, Chen Liang smiled at Liang Xiangling and said, "Miss Liang, I haven't seen you for a long time. I don't know how you are doing recently?"

Liang Xiangling smiled and replied, "It's okay."

Chen Liang looked at the beautiful woman's smiling face, and the smile at the corners of his mouth was a little stronger, but when his eyes fell on Yan Ji, his smile gradually dissipated. He thought that he knew almost all the male disciples of Taiqing Palace. This teenager, who looked only 20 years old, was very handsome, and it was difficult to become Taiqing Palace. Knowing that this mission is extremely dangerous, he only sent an unknown disciple out as cannon fodder?

Although he thought so in his heart, he still smiled and saluted Yan Ji, "Who is this gentleman?"

Before Yan Ji could speak, Liang Xiangling had first introduced Chen Liang: "This is my brother, his name is Yan Ji." As she spoke, she pointed to Xiang and Chen and introduced to Yan Ji: "Brother, these two are Xiang Chong, the first disciple of the Shaohua faction, and Chen Liang, the head of the Yanshan faction."

When the two sides saw the ceremony again, Xiang Chong still didn't say much and stood there arrogantly. Chen Liang looked at Yan Ji a few times and asked, "But did you come from the same long door as Miss Liang?"

Yan Ji replied, "Exactly!"

Chen Liang nodded slightly, and his eyes fell on the inconspicuous bronze sword in Yan Ji's hand. He thought that even the sword was also a bronze sword. Sure enough, he was a little disciple sent out as cannon fodder. Taiqing Palace really didn't have many talents... But when he thought of this, his mind turned quickly and whispered the three words "bronze sword" in his mouth, and many Looking at the long sword in Yan Ji's hand, he frowned and asked, "Is the name of Mr. Yan's sword 'Jinghong'?"

Yan Ji was slightly surprised that the young leader of the Yanshan faction could recognize his sword. He looked at Chen Liang a few more times and replied, "Exactly!"

When Yan Ji answered the word "exactly", Xiang and Chen's faces were full of surprise and looked at the Jinghong Fairy Sword in Yan Ji's hand.

The Zhenshan Sword "Benlei" and "Yitian Zhenhun Sword" of their two factions ranked fifth and sixth respectively in the top ten famous sword scores, second only to the "Sanqing Ancient Sword" of Taiqing Palace Zhenshan Sword. Previously, the two of them saw Liang Xiangling's "Ice Cold Light Sword" and Liu Changge's "Nan Mingli Fire Sword", thinking that these two divine swords were lined up behind their Zhenshan divine swords, and they also had a feeling of being superior, but now when they see the third "shocking rainbow", they have a feeling that they can't raise their heads.

Chen Liang immediately changed his mind about this inconspicuous teenager, thinking that he could get the disciples of the "Jinghong" sword from the sect. His cultivation will never be bad. He must have the ability to guard the "Jinghong".

Chen Liang looked at the Jinghong sword in Yan Ji's hand for a while and asked, "I don't know if Mr. Yan has heard of a legend about 'Jing Hong'?"

Yan Ji subconsciously thought of the story Xuanyuanxiang told him, and his heart trembled to verify whether the legend Chen Liang knew was the same as what Xuanyuanxiang said, so he said, "No, could you please tell me what kind of legend my sword has?"

Chen Liang nodded and said slowly, "Thousand years ago, there were two immortal couples, Fengshen and Yunxian, in Kunlun Wonderland. They had a deep friendship and had been in love for a long time. They created two divine swords as tokens of love. The female sword was 'Baiyuan', and the male sword was the 'shocking rainbow'. The two immortals each held one and agreed that the sky would be old, and the sea would be dry and the rocks would be rotten. We also want to stay together. After that, the two immortals were demoted to mortals for violating the precepts of the fairyland, and the two magic swords were exiled to the mortal world. However, their marriage will not break, the reincarnation of Fengshen will get a 'surprise rainbow', the reincarnation of Yunxian will get 'white abyss', and then the two immortals will be pulled by two swords and walk together at the right time.

Chen Liang said this, smiled and said to Yan Ji, "If this legend is true, then Mr. Yan is a fairy. Maybe he will get together with the owner of Bai Yuanjian and continue the fate of immortality."

When Yan Ji heard this "story" for the second time, he inevitably thought that the legend about the Rainbow Sword was not fictional, but he still did not want to obey the arranged fate and forced his face to laugh, "This is just a funny story. Most of the people who built this divine sword deliberately made up this The story spread everywhere, trying to increase the reputation of the sword so that it can be passed on for thousands of years.

Chen Liang nodded and only said the word "maybe" and did not mention it again. He looked at Liang Xiangling next to Yan Ji and smiled, "Miss Liang, let's talk about finding the 'Phoenix Dance Temple' first. Legend has it that the temple was built on the top of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue, which may mean that the temple is hidden at the highest part of Hengshan Mountain.

At this time, Shaohua sent his first apprentice Xiang Chong | to interrupt: "There are 72 peaks in Hengshan, and the highest peak is 'Zhu Rongfeng'. Is the temple on Zhu Rongfeng?"

Chen Liang shook his head and said, "This is not sure. We can only climb to the top of the peak to carefully look for clues. Among the 72 peaks of Hengshan, there are five higher peaks, namely: Zhu Rong, Hibiscus, Zi Gai, Tianzhu and Shiqi. Let's start with these five peaks."

On the side of Taiqing Palace, Yan and Liang just hurriedly took over the task and had time to check the classic book in the future. They didn't know anything about this matter and couldn't put forward any opinions. At present, they had to nod and agree with their intentions.

The four reached an agreement and began to fly to Zhu Rongfeng, the highest peak of Hengshan.

Between the flashing sword light, the four people have jumped up and flew straight into the sky, showing the beauty and danger of the peaks of Nanyue. Except for Yan Ji, the other three people look at the mountains below from time to time and enjoy the famous scenery of Hengshan Mountain.

As early as a year ago, Guangyi Zhenren learned that the divine fire would be born in Hengshan. He took Yan Ji to Hengshan several times and almost walked through the 72 peaks of Hengshan, but still didn't find any news about the divine fire. From this, Yan Ji became familiar with the situation of the peaks of Hengshan Mountain. She has seen the strange mountains and rivers several times. Now that she sees them again, she will naturally not feel new.
