Chapter 17 Sword Sacrifice

Early in the morning, Jian Shengxuan bathed, burned incense, combed his hair, and hung sachets. After making himself clean and full of fragrance, he went straight to the ancestral hall with a steamed bun in his mouth.

If it weren't for his blue eyes, Li Zhi would have suspected that Jian's family had picked him up and raised him somewhere. Such a solemn and serious matter of worshiping ancestors would be like a blind date in front of him.

The Jian family's ancestor worship ceremony adheres to the consistent style of the Jian family - simplicity.

Naturally, Li Zhi couldn't see the worship of Jian's descendants in the ancestral hall, but it took less than an hour from the time Jian Shengxuan ran out in a hurry to the time when he came back in a hurry.

Li Zhi was a little curious, so she couldn't help asking: "Master, is the worship over?"

Jian Shengxuan looked at him and nodded: "Yes, what else?"

Regarding Jian Shengxuan's rhetorical question, Li Zhi chose to ignore it, and continued to ask: "What did you do? So fast."

"What else can I do, is everyone offer incense sticks." This is really the most concise worship that Li Zhi has ever heard, no need to set off firecrackers, no need to burn paper money, just kneel down, worship and insert incense, and the work is done!

"Then, why is Master so sweet? Is he planning to attract bees or butterflies?"

It is understandable to burn incense in the bath, and it is also understandable to comb hair. If Jian Shengxuan has the habit of hanging sachets every day, Li Zhi would not be surprised, but today he brought them so deliberately, Li Zhi was a little curious.

Jian Shengxuan jumped twice, and Li Zhi discovered that he actually hung five sachets!No wonder the scent was so miserable, and with such a jump, Li Zhi almost suffocated.

"You don't know that, do you? Every year at this time, all the children of the Jian family will be here. They all have the habit of hanging sachets, and everyone smells good. I like to make a blockbuster on this most critical occasion! They all compare!"

Li Zhi couldn't understand Jian Shengxuan's persistence, and he didn't want to understand even if he died, but he didn't want to be ashamed!

How can I say that this strange thing is my master, and I am his first disciple, and even the only disciple. I will always be the only one who is pointed at and pointing fingers at, and I don’t even have anyone who shares weal and woe. How could this be!

Li Zhi tactfully persuaded: "Master, you are trying to win other people's hearts. I understand. For this sachet, we will choose the most fragrant one, which is enough to kill them instantly. There are four left, and we will change one every day. What a novelty." Ah! isn't it?"

Jian Shengxuan didn't even think about it, and directly refused: "No! I don't like hanging sachets in the first place. This time I completely defeated them and left them with indelible pain, that's enough!"

Li Zhi really wanted to cut his brain open to see if you were pretending to be glue, or just a pile of shit. If you hang around like this for a whole day, the one who will leave indelible pain will definitely be the one closest to him.

"I can't let you just go out and harm others like this!" Li Zhi was too lazy to talk nonsense, and kept on doing nothing, holding her breath, throwing Jian Shengxuan down, and before he had time to react in the future, she used the fastest speed to get that All the five sachets were torn off, rushed into the kitchen, and threw them into the smoldering fire.

Seeing the sachet turned into ashes, Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Slowly walking back to Jian Shengxuan, he has already stood up.

The strange thing is that he didn't say any angry words, and didn't even show any jumping feet. He just patted the dust on his body, glanced at Li Zhi with a clear look, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, saying : "Oh, little pear! You are careless as a teacher. If you are too outstanding as a teacher, it will indeed steal your sense of existence. Your actions will not be blamed by the teacher."

Li Zhi rolled her eyes and shook her head speechlessly, there was no doubt shit in her mind!

At noon, it was time for the immediate disciples to sacrifice their swords at the Sword Sacrifice Altar.The so-called direct descendants refer to the direct descendants of the Jian family and their disciples, a total of 20 people, the head of the family Jian Xiujin, the second head of the family Jian Yuyao, the third head of the family Jian Shengxuan, five elders of the sect, and twelve disciples.

This is the first time Li Zhi sees Jian Yuyao, the unpretentious Jian's family clothes are more casual on him, his face is [-]% similar to Jian Yanzhi's two brothers, but there is a hint of unruliness between his eyebrows and eyes He spoke the words between father and son to the two children, and his gestures were affectionate and loving. Perhaps he poured his deep thoughts and love for his wife into it.

Jian Yizhi expressed that he wanted to cling to his father whom he had not seen for a long time, and acted softly from time to time, throwing the arrogant nature out of the sky.

In short, he just responded softly to Jian Yuyao's question. Although his tone was still calm, Li Zhi could feel his respect for his father in his eyes.

The Sword Sacrifice Altar was built at the highest point of Fusheng Yique, which was a natural cave.

Walking to the entrance of the cave, Jian Xiujin recited the incantation silently, and the stone gate of the sword sacrificial altar slowly opened to both sides.

Li Zhi immediately felt a scorching heat wave sweeping over. Jian Xiujin took out a milky white bead from his bosom, chanted a mantra, and the white bead floated in midair. Soon, the heat wave subsided.

Jian Tianshu stood beside Li Zhi, and said softly and considerately: "There is a place where volcanic magma is active in the sword sacrificial altar, so it is unbearably hot, but it is the best storage condition for swords, and it will not be corroded by humidity. It can help the sword itself to continuously forge itself. This is an ice spirit bead, made of black ice that will not melt for thousands of years, using spells can stimulate its original coldness, which has a miraculous effect on cooling down."

Li Zhi was very moved by Jian Tianshu's timely explanation, and when he thought about his modesty, politeness, manners, thoughtfulness and caring, he was just a little angel!

"Thank you, Fourth Senior Brother!" Li Zhi couldn't help thinking that she must spend more time with Angel Jane in order to feel the peace in the world.

With the Ice Lingzhu leading the way, everyone walked into the sword sacrificial altar. Although they still couldn't stop sweating, it was still tolerable, and Li Zhi's heart flew to the On the sword that hangs all over the stone wall.

Under the light of the fire, the swords were silent, with a sense of aloofness and holiness. The sudden visitor did not break any trace of their tranquility. They were waiting, they were always waiting, waiting for the person they chose. , dismissively, only hope that in the future, he will join hands with the destined person in the end of the world.

Li Zhi's heart was shocked, if he could have a sword here, if he could be selected, he would be so excited that he couldn't sleep.

I just heard about it before, but now that I have seen it with my own eyes and experienced such a deterrent power, Li Zhi feels that other swords can no longer catch my eye. I must, I must work hard to become the master of this sword!

Followed the crowd to the sword sacrificial altar of the sword sacrificial altar, facing the tumbling magma, the flames jumping up and down made the heat worse, even the ice spirit beads couldn't play a greater role.

Li Zhi was sweating more, and there was no dry place on his body. No matter how much Li Zhidang's soul was stunned by the sword sacrificial altar, he couldn't stay here for a long time. The cold wind, sober up the head that is about to be roasted.

The three heads of the Jian family standing at the forefront cut their palms and dripped blood into the magma, followed by the five elders.

Li Zhi immediately understood that he was going to use the blood sacrificial sword!Looking at the disciples who consciously lined up, Li Zhi felt very nervous. It must be very painful to cut his palm with that dagger.

One by one, the disciples were obviously used to things, they squeezed and squeezed without changing their expressions, then walked away, took out blood coagulation powder from their arms, sprinkled it on, bandaged it, and the movements were done in one go, without anyone's help, see De Lizhi admired it very much.

What should come is what should come. Standing on the edge of the magma, Li Zhi took the dagger for ten seconds to build up his mind. With a cruel heart, gritting his teeth, he slashed his palm heavily, and blood gushed out instantly. There is no need to squeeze, and it flows into the magma as if playing its life.

Huh?It seemed to be too hard, to make such a deep cut, and to bleed so much.Li Zhi was in so much pain that tears glistened at the corners of her eyes, and she held back desperately.However, the blood flowed so violently, and Li Zhi didn't dare to act rashly because he didn't bring a handkerchief and blood clotting powder.

Seeing this, everyone said anxiously: "Stop the bleeding quickly! Stop the bleeding quickly!"

A figure flashed over immediately.

"Don't move, stop the bleeding." This taste, this voice, are short.

He gently held Li Zhi's bleeding hand, not caring that the blood stained his always neat white clothes, frowned slightly, took out blood coagulation powder from his arms, raised it to his mouth and pulled it out with his teeth Remove the cork, sprinkle little by little on Li Zhi's wound, covering layer by layer, until the blood no longer flowed so presumptuously, then said: "Handkerchief."

"No...no." Li Zhi stared blankly at Jian Yanzhi's series of actions, and replied blankly.

In short, without hesitation, he tore off the handkerchief that bandaged his wound, and carefully bandaged Li Zhi's hand properly.When she raised her eyes, she saw Li Zhi staring at herself with watery eyes without blinking, and said flatly, "The bleeding has stopped."

Jian Yuyao stepped forward, looked at his hands, and said, "Well, it just so happens that your wound isn't bleeding anymore."

Jian Shengxuan walked towards Li Zhi quickly, hit his head hard, and scolded: "Why did you make such a deep cut! Are you planning to sacrifice your body to the sword?!"

All the swords in the sword sacrificial altar have experienced ups and downs, and they are sensitive to blood. Every time the sword is sacrificed, it must be treated with caution. Once the blood energy is excessive, the bloody nature of the sword will be aroused, and the consequences will be disastrous.

It was the first time that Jian Shengxuan was so angry, Li Zhi also understood the seriousness of the matter, and apologized to everyone very guilty.

Jian Xiujin waved his hands and said, "It's the first time, I have no experience, and it's fine if I don't cause a catastrophe."

The sword sacrifice finally ended without any risk, and everyone walked towards the entrance of the cave.

As soon as he stepped down from the sword sacrificial platform, he found that there was a violent tremor from the stone wall on the right, and there was an ancient sword hanging on it. Li Zhi was shocked, this...won't something happen, right?

However, the three Patriarchs, five elders and Fusheng Sanjun all looked at the trembling stone wall with surprise on their faces, but not worried.

Li Zhi was anxious and just about to continue apologizing, but her trembling stopped suddenly.

An ancient sword on the stone wall slowly floated up. The dark red scabbard flashed in streams of light, and the hilt was dark blue with intricate patterns engraved on it.

Like everyone else, Li Zhi was stunned by the sudden appearance of the ancient sword, with his mouth slightly open, speechless.

No matter how long the ancient sword had been floating in the air, everyone was stunned for a long time.

After a while, the ancient sword flew towards Li Zhi, floating in front of Li Zhi, floating up and down, as if waiting for something, Li Zhi just looked at it puzzled.

"Quick, hold it!" Jian Shengxuan's suppressed voice reached Li Zhi's ears.

Li Zhi took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in her heart, stretched out her hand tremblingly, slowly grasped the ancient sword, and grasped it!

Li Zhi looked at everyone excitedly, waiting for someone to say something to verify her inner guess.

"Tsk tsk, this is the first time that the sword on the sword altar has flown into the hands of someone without sword cultivation to recognize its owner!" An elder said while stroking his gray beard.

Jian Xiujin nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it seems that you are not only destined for this sword, but also have a talent for practicing swords."

Jian Yuyao patted Jian Shengxuan on the back, and said with a smile: "You have a good eye, boy! If you don't accept apprentices, you will accept a genius!"

Jian Shengxuan also seemed very happy, and said in embarrassment, "Isn't that right? After all, he is my apprentice!"

"Xiao Zhi, quickly draw your sword and have a look." Jian Zihe and all his disciples surrounded him.

"Hmm!" Li Zhi held the scabbard in his left hand and the hilt in his right hand, exerting a little force, the ancient sword made a crisp sound of "chacha", and the sword body was displayed in front of everyone under the faint red light, and the sword body spread all over the place. Beautiful pattern, cold light radiates, thinner than ordinary swords.

it's beautiful!This is Li Zhi's sincere admiration for this sword.

Jian Jili pondered for a while, and said, "This, is it animism?"

Jian Zihe then echoed: "Well, it can't be wrong, the dark red scabbard and dark blue hilt are clothed with flower swords, which are similar to but different from the ones mentioned, so they must be animism."

Hearing what the two said, Li Zhi stared at Jian Yanzhi in a daze. Jian Yan didn't say a word, but took off the sword from his waist and handed it to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi took over Que Xie and compared it carefully with his own sword. Que Xie's dark blue scabbard and black red hilt, and the sword body also had the same pattern, so his sword was definitely animist.

"Quexie and Panling are the twin swords jointly forged by Jian Jue and Bai Muge, the first Patriarch of the Jian family." Jian Xiujin said, paused, glanced at Jian Yanzhi and then at Li Zhi, and continued, " Before, Yanzhi was identified as the master by Quexie, but when Quexie was born, I thought they were finally separated, but I didn't expect that the animist was also born today..."

The Jian family was originally an ordinary family of swordsmen. The first patriarch, Jian Jue, who established the Jian family as a fairy gate, was a sword addict. Not to mention his outstanding talent, he was obsessed with developing sword styles, trying to take the road of innovation and development. It has managed to integrate immortality into swordsmanship, slaying demons and eliminating ghosts is no problem. Since then, the Jian family sword has become famous in the immortal way, and Floating Life has become a fairy gate that cultivators are eager to enter.

And Jian Jue's death is a secret that only Jane's family knows.He had a same-sex Taoist companion named Bai Muge who was good at forging swords. After Bai Muge passed away, Jian Jue carried the two swords on his back and threw Bai Muge's body into the flames of the sword sacrificial altar. The two merged with the sword. as one.

Although the two swords were taken out by Jian's family, they were automatically sealed.And now, does it mean anything that they were born successively?

Maybe their fate will also become your fate. Jian Xiujin, Jian Yuyao, and Jian Shengxuan all have such a premonition in their hearts, but I don't know, will this fate be the same as theirs?Parting, dying for love, I hope the sky will not play tricks on people like this...
