nine days of swordming

Chapter 4 Burial Sword Valley

On April 11, 836, the sky is clear and cloudless. Such days are no different from usual.

For the whole forgotten continent, today is not a special day. It is neither the New Year nor the festival, and the days are as usual. But for Su Jianming, today is a double joy.

First of all, today is his sixth birthday. He received many gifts that made Liu Yan jealous, which made him very happy. Secondly and most importantly, Liu Xingyun will take him as an apprentice today, that is to say, from today on, he will also be able to learn those spells that usually make him envious.

......

The owner accepted the apprentice. Naturally, he couldn't be too careless. After three hours, the ceremony of worshiping the teacher was finally over.

After all the people who watched the ceremony dispersed, Liu Xingyun called Su Jianming to his side. He didn't say anything, but just asked Su Jianming to follow, and then took Su Jianming to the back mountain.

I don't know how long it took. Just when Su Jianming was about to walk, Liu Xingyun finally stopped. Houshan Su Jianming has been here many times, but he knows that he must have never been to this place.

In view is a valley, next to a large stone tablet with three words written on it: Burial Sword Valley. There were two old people sitting at the entrance, as calm as water, as if they didn't know that Liu Xingyun was coming.

Liu Xingyun didn't care, but respectfully saluted the two old men, and then took Su Jianming straight to the valley. When Liu Xingyun and Su Jianming disappeared in Gukou, the two old men opened their eyes at the same time, looked at each other, and then nodded and closed their eyes. It seems that things in this world really have nothing to do with it.

At the end of the valley is a cave, and the entrance of the cave seems to have a strong seal. Liu Xingyun pinched a seal and stroked the hole, and the seal actually separated an opening, barely enough for one person to pass. Liu Xingyun did not hesitate at all. After grabbing Su Jianming, he flashed in. After they entered, the seal behind them quickly returned to its original state and seemed to have never been opened.

After entering the hole, Liu Xingyun's face was obviously pale. Obviously, breaking the seal just now consumed him a lot of energy. Su Jianming was a little scared. He didn't dare to speak, but looked at the master worriedly. After making a slight adjustment, Liu Xingyun smiled at Su Jianming to indicate that he was fine, and then walked to the cave again.

......

This cave is a little strange. It is completely closed but has bright light. Su Jianming was curious, but he didn't dare to distract himself. He just carefully followed his master and honestly followed the route taken by Liu Xingyun, and did not dare to be careless at all. Because just now, he accidentally took a wrong step and turned into a bottomless abyss and almost fell down. If Liu Xingyun hadn't been looking at him, I'm afraid he would have died several times.

After turning east and west and passing through a long cave, Liu Xingyun finally stopped. There is no way ahead, only a stone door. Liu Xingyun took out a token from his waist, inserted it into a stone hole on the stone door, and then pointed his palm at a palm print on the stone door. As soon as he spit out his spiritual power, the stone door automatically opened.

After walking so far and passing so many customs, Su Jianming thought that this stone gate was the destination as soon as it opened. But when the stone door opened, Su Jianming looked inside and saw that it was actually a cliff.

Su Jianming stood at the stone gate and carefully looked outside the stone gate. Suddenly, he was shocked and speechless.

This seems to be a deep well that has been magnified countless times, and it is still the kind with a manhole cover. There is a big island in the center, surrounded by endless abyss. From time to time, a gust of wind blew under the abyss, sweeping the face with pain. From time to time, some huge beasts passed by, and a gust of wind swept by between the wings.

He accidentally hit a stone, but there was no sound coming up. He noticed that a flying beast was holding a tiger and sneaked into a cave on the cliff. Then he found that there were dense caves on the cliff around it, presumably all of which lived with the kind of strange beasts.

After the stone door was opened, Liu Xingyun didn't say anything. He seemed to be waiting for something. At this moment, a flying beast more than twice as big as the alien beast just now flew over from the center of the big island and hovered straight at Su Jianming's feet, which seemed to let them ride up.

Su Jianming didn't dare to go up. He had already been stunned. The beast is too big, and a sharp claw is bigger than Su Jianming's whole body. While hesitating, he had been caught by Liu Xingyun again. Pending Su Jianming's reaction, the two had sat firmly on the back of the strange beast.

Hearing a long roar, the strange beast had taken the two people and flew quickly to the big island in the center. At the edge of the stone gate, Su Jianming already felt that the island was very big. When he got close, he found out what the island was. It was clearly a reduced version of the forgotten continent. The whole island is at least as big as the whole God Cry Mountains, and there are mountains and rivers. There are groups of strange beasts on it, and from time to time there is a roar of wild beasts...

The strange beast carried the two people all the way to the center of the big island. It put you in a valley and flew away.

This valley is similar to the valley outside, but there is no one to guard it. There is also a large stone tablet in Gukou, which also has three words: Funeral Sword Valley. When he walked to Gukou, Liu Xingyun bowed inside, and then he said to Su Jianming with a serious face, "Kneel down!"

Although Su Jianming didn't know why, he also knelt down according to his words.

After waiting for a long time without seeing the master call him up, Su Jianming looked up. The master looked pious and seemed to be remembering something. Su Jianming knew the seriousness of the matter, so he knelt down honestly.

"Do you know why you kneel down as a teacher?" After a long time, Liu Xingyun came to his senses and asked Su Jianming.

"The apprentice is stupid, but the apprentice guesses that it must be the ancestors of my Mingjian Villa buried in this valley," Su Jianming responded freely.

"You are very smart, but you only guessed half right. What is buried in this valley is not only the ancestors of my Mingjian Villa. My Mingjian Villa has been passed down for ten thousand years. There are countless outstanding ancestors in the door, but only the leaders of past generations are really qualified to be buried here, that is, your father's grandfather and great-grandfathers and all the ancestors of your Su family for thousands of years.

Nowadays, the head of the sect on the mainland is mostly the highest cultivation in the door, but the position of the owner of our Mingjian Villa can only be held by your Su family. Although I am now called Zhuangzhu, in fact, I can't even start the mountain protection array of the villa. In my Mingjian Villa, many things can only be controlled by your Su family.

The owners of Mingjian Villa will be buried in this valley after their death. There is just a tomb outside, but this is not the main reason why I let you kneel down. Have you noticed the stone tablet? I asked you to kneel down to worship your ancestors, but the most important thing is to worship a sword.

In our Mingjian Villa, the most important thing is never the person, but the sword. It is said that the sword was devastated in the ancient divine war, and someone needed to warm up with their own true yuan, which is the purpose of our Mingjian Villa. And no one can control that sword except the people of the Su family, so all generations of Zhuangzhu can only be from the Su family, "

Originally, the sword was handed over to the next generation when the previous generation of owners died. But you were only born a few days when your father died, and although I sat in the position of the landlord, I couldn't control it, let alone repair it. So the sword flew back here automatically.

I brought you here today, on the one hand, to let you worship your ancestors, and on the other hand, to let you understand your mission and get this sword back. Outsiders thought that I would pass the position of the landlord to your brother Liu Qian, but they didn't know these secrets of Mingjian Villa.

One thing you must remember is that the owner of Mingjian Villa is never a symbol of power, and the position of owner of Mingjian Villa means responsibility. You must not forget this when you become a landlord in the future.

Speaking of this, Liu Xingyun paused a little before continuing to say, "Okay, you have said everything that needs to be said, and you know everything you should know. Go in. Only you Su family can enter here. Although I am the owner of the bank for the time being, I can't go in. Don't worry, there is no danger inside, and the seal of Gukou is useless to you. As for the sword... you will naturally find it when you go in. Go ahead and wait for you to come out here!"

After saying that, without waiting for Su Jianming to ask, he directly closed his eyes and adjusted his breath quietly.
