Flying across a bridge, connecting two mountains.

From the library building of the Sword Palace, passing through the Golden Wind Bridge on the top of the cliff, you will arrive at the peak of seeing the disciples' daily activities.On Jianxing Peak, there are Sanzhai Hall, Dingfang Garden, and Yupu Garden, which are places for meals, alchemy, and medicinal herbs, as well as places for metallurgy such as Jianlu and Jianchi.As for the places where students teach daily, they are divided into Tingyunping and Mojianya, which means sharpening swords under the cliff and stopping clouds on the cliff.

After a conversation in the library, Yan Zhenci was moved by the original sound flow, and came to Yupu Garden to pick two or three kinds of herbs, all of which are materials needed for disguise, and are handing over to the deacon here.

Yuan Yinliu stood three steps away from Yanzhenci, seeing the other party's movements so quickly, he couldn't help feeling: "Master can figure it out really quickly, this is the one who can do great things."

Words and pillow words: "What you said, time does not wait for me, and the matter is urgent."

Yuan Yinliu thought for a moment: "Master, you don't look like a disciple of the Sword Palace at all, are you a spy sent by another faction to the Sword Palace?"

Words: "If I am a spy, you are a spy, little spy."

Yuan Yinliu shook his fan and smiled: "I'm not a spy, I'm the illegitimate son of the head."

The two walked while talking, and passed by a Sword Palace disciple who had just returned from picking herbs, carrying a basket full of herbs.

A Sword Palace disciple handed the basket behind his back to the deacon, and when the deacon registered the medicinal materials one by one, he couldn't help but say: "Was it Yuan Xilou and his master who passed by just now?"

The deacon raised his eyes: "Haven't you been in the mountains for the past two days? That's how you know?"

Herb-gathering disciple: "It has been spread all over the Sword Palace, and I also heard that the master is going to hand over the Li Yuchen Sword to Yuan Xilou?"

Deacon: "It should be."

"But," the medicine-gathering disciple muttered, "Shouldn't Li Yuchen sword be handed over to Master Xue..."

Xue Tianzong was stopping at Yunping.

Grinding the sword, the wind whistling, stopped on the Yunping, and the disciples of the Sword Palace trembled and tried their best to show Xue Tianzong what they had learned in the recent period.

Even so, after the end of the "Tingyun Asking the Sword" once every three months, less than one-tenth of the disciples could stand on the Tingyunping well, and the remaining nine-tenths were directly thrown away by Xue Tianzong. Jian Ya sharpened his sword again.

For a whole hour, screams of misery could be heard from Mojian Cliff, blown by the wind, scattered up and down the Sword Palace.

Xue Tian glanced at everyone present: "That's it for today, juniors, don't slack off. Avoid arrogance and impetuosity, and forge ahead."

Sword Palace disciple Qi Qi Jishou: "Yes, senior brother!"

Xue Tianzong returned the salute, then left and went back to his residence, before entering the door, disciple Luo You was already poking his head in front of his house: "Master!"

Xue Tianzong: "What's the matter?"

Luo You: "Master has sent a metaphorical order, and leave Yuchen sword tomorrow." Then before Xue Tianzong could speak, he immediately went on indignantly, "Master, you said that even if Yuan Yinliu is a heavenly genius, it is impossible to get rid of it in one day. Have you practiced the introductory exercises to the third level? Is there some misunderstanding in the middle—”

Xue Tianzong frowned, and interrupted his disciple: "There is no need to say more about this matter, just follow your master's instructions."

After all, he opened the door and entered the house.

Since returning to the mountain yesterday, Xue Tianzong reported things and taught his mentor and disciples. Now that he just opened the bag, he saw the blue booklet on the top.

This is the heavenly book he got from Prince Yuanrong's arms when he beheaded Prince Yuanrong.

Xue Tianzong is not interested in the Heavenly Book, he held it earlier as a last resort to let the original sound stream up the mountain, now that the original sound stream is on the mountain, this book should also be returned to the original owner.

As soon as Xue Tianzong stretched out his hand to the Tianshu, a gust of wind blew through the room, blowing away the pages of the Tianshu.

A blank inner page appeared before Xue Tianzong's eyes, and then ink dots floated on the paper, slowly forming a line of words:

"An accident in the Sword Palace"

Xue Tianzong was taken aback for a moment, and then said coldly: "Evil devils heretics, pretending to be ghosts."

He pointed like a sword, and was about to draw it down, but suddenly there was a line of words added to the book of heaven. This line of words just answered the sentence that Xue Tianzong said just now:

"Evil heretics are in the Sword Palace"

The sword finger that should have landed on the book landed on the ground beside it.

The wind blows through the winter plums in the courtyard, and the dark fragrance caresses the cracks on the ground.

The heavenly book on the table continued to display more content as if nothing had happened.

A name pops up on the page.Immediately afterwards, the densely packed names occupied the entire blank page, until at the end, two more words appeared:

"disappear"

Then, starting from the first line, the ink on the paper faded little by little, and finally disappeared into the original blank.

Xue Tianzong was holding the heavenly book, and he was about to tear it up, but he stopped after seeing more and more names appearing.Now, for the first time, his brows were truly furrowed, and he stared intently at Han Mei outside the window for a long time without saying a word.

After a while, he recruited two apprentices and told Chu Han: "You bring the "Disciple List"." Then he said to Luo You: "Go to the outer gate to check some people."

Luo and Chu agreed.

Then, Luo You peeped at Xue Tianzong, and said cautiously: "Master, this disciple has something to say just now, the master just sent a boy over, besides explaining how to open the dust sword tomorrow, he also said that you can co-host the dust sword tomorrow." When the ceremony was opened, someone sent someone to send a picture."

After finishing speaking, Luo You presented the words.

Xue Tianzong unfolded it and saw a word "sword" falling on the paper, painted with a silver hook and iron, penetrating three points into the bone.

In the blink of an eye, time is reversed, and the conversation with the mentor when I first entered the gate wall of the Sword Palace is vividly remembered:

"Learning swords in the Sword Palace, what is the sword for?"

"The sword is the hand, the sword is the body, the sword is the heart, the sword is me, and the sword is not a foreign object."

"The sword is me, the sword is not something foreign." Xue Tianzong whispered to himself.

The mentor sent this object because he was worried that he would pay too much attention to the Li Yuchen sword and lose his heart.

However, the sword is not a foreign object, and the sword is not Li Yuchen's sword.

Even if it is the treasure of the Sword Palace, why worry about it?

Xue Tianzong carefully put away the writing in his hand, and when he raised his head, he said, "Apologize to your ancestor, I will not participate in the opening ceremony of the Dust Sword tomorrow."

There are more important things at the moment.

His eyes flicked over the heavenly book still on the table, his eyelids drooped, hiding the coldness in his eyes.

There is a cloud vault in the Sword Palace, and the cloud vault is above the clouds.

Yunqiong is the highest peak in the middle, and it is the place where Li Yuchen's sword is placed.Its upper spire is thin and straight, with no other protrusions in the middle, and there is no turning back, like the body of a sword piercing into the sky; below it is a circle of platforms around the peak, like a sword guard guarding the left and right.

Early this morning, before dawn, all the inner disciples of the Sword Palace had gathered under the sky of clouds.

Since the Li Yuchen Sword has become the treasure of the Sword Palace, the number of times the Li Yuchen Sword has officially appeared in front of people can be counted on one's fingers.Except for the Sword Palace Acceptance Ceremony held every three years, even the core disciples of the Sword Palace will have no way to get a glimpse of the Li Yuchen Sword unless the master holding Li Yuchen Sword is born!

Therefore, it is an exception for the sect master not to preside over the opening of the Li Yuchen sword, and it is an exception among exceptions for a new disciple to master the Li Yuchen sword.

But with the three elders above, countless disciples didn't dare to speak out even though they had doubts in their hearts for two days.

The original sound stream and words and pillow words are also waiting.

According to the method before Yuanyinliu, today's Yanzhenci is transformed into Yuanyinliu, and Yuanyinliu is transformed into Yanzhenci, one of them is dressed in black, the other is dressed in white, standing behind the three elders together.

The other two elders closed their eyes and meditated, waiting for the time to come.

After Duanmuxu and the two appeared, his eyes turned around the two of them, with a thoughtful look on his face.

After a while, he smiled slightly, and said to the "Original Sound Stream": "That's right, in just two days, you have already reached the third level of entry-level skills, and the head master really has a discerning eye. But you must not be complacent, and you must be diligent."

"Yuan Yinliu" frankly said: "Follow the elder's teachings, Yinliu must obey Master's teachings, correct your coquettishness, work hard and plain, get up early and go to bed late, and practice hard!"

"Yanzhen Ci" is also frank: "Pillow Ci must also be cultivating hard at the same time, accepting all people, learning from others' strengths, learning to cook, dress and make beds, cooking tea, cooking wine and other knowledge that an excellent orthodox should know!"

Suddenly, a ray of sky light shines from the east.

When the golden light pierced through the thick clouds, Ziyang jumped out from the crack, and the three elders who were cross-legged on the high platform in front stood up together and pressed their long swords.

The three swords jumped out from the backs of the three men, each with a tornado whirlwind, soaring upwards, intertwined with each other in mid-air, forming a large hurricane-like air wave, which suddenly blew away layers of clouds covering the dome, exposing the clouds After the peak!

Just at this time, the "Yuanyinliu" who was standing behind the three elders suddenly moved forward, taking crane steps, and after three steps, his body was as light as a crane, and he was already on the clouds.It is the most authentic introductory footwork of Sword Palace "Smoke Crane Walk"!This step method is easy to learn but difficult to master. Anyone can do it, but it is rare to be able to "step on the clouds and walk with the crane".

As for the "Yan Pillow Ci" next to him, he pressed his hand on the belt on his waist, and saw a black shadow flashing from behind him in an instant, taking him directly into the sky along the wind that hadn't dissipated, and the speed was no faster than " How much slower is the original sound stream!

The wind captivated the eyes, and all the disciples standing on the stage looked up one after another, only to see the clouds disperse and gather, and in the hurricane, all their hearts followed the clouds and threw themselves into Li Yuchen. Among the swords.

Soaring all the way, into the clouds.The two people who changed their faces no longer pretended to be each other, and the original sound flow was carried up by the bat wings on their shoulders. At first, they felt a burst of cold, and sneezed several times, and then felt the air became thinner, and gradually became a little breathless. There was also a burst of dizziness.

He just covered his chest and coughed, and the words that were one step ahead of him had already floated down, grabbed Yuanyinliu's waist and locked his veins, slowly introducing the pure inner strength.

While introducing internal energy, Yan Zhenci took advantage of the situation and took a look at the thing that flew into the sky with the original sound flow.

I saw that Yuan Yinliu found out from nowhere a bat wing that was as wide as three people and clasped it on his shoulders. The bat's face was light black and slightly transparent, which looked like real bat wings, but the joints were made of balsa wood. Balsa wood and balsa wood Between them, they are connected in series by light golden silk strings.Now, the bat wing is moving against the wind, carrying the original sound flow all the way up.

Yuan Yinliu took a deep breath: "Well, I feel much more comfortable..."

Words: "I finally know why the elders want to give you the Li Yuchen sword, so why do you add a condition to you that you must practice the third level of the sword palace's entry-level skills?" He muttered to himself, "It turns out that it is to prevent you from becoming the only person suffocating above the cloud vault since the Sword Palace was built."

As soon as the voice fell, the two had reached the dome.

Silky and cotton-like white clouds filled the front of the body, and among the clouds and golden light, they gently covered the Yin-Yang Yutai where Li Yuchen's sword was in full bloom.

The target was right in front of him, Yuan Yinliu didn't rush forward, he stood still and said to Yan Zhenci: "Okay, we can change back."

Yan Zhenci had no objection, raised his hand to tear off the mask on his face, and then took off his outer robe, then turned to look at Yuanyinliu, and saw Yuanyinliu standing upright, motionless.

Original sound stream: "It's a bit cold."

Words: "So?"

The original sound flow is a matter of course: "You take the clothes, first block for me, and I will change the clothes."

Yan Zhenci sighed: "It's blocked, hurry up, young master."

When the two changed their clothes, brushed away the clouds, and finally walked towards the Yinyang Yutai standing in front of them, there was nothing behind the clouds, only a long sword with a cracked blade was randomly thrown on the Yutai. Down.

The sword body is as clear as ice crystals, and the hilt is as deep as an abyss. It is the most precious treasure of the Sword Palace, Li Yuchen Sword!

What they saw was unexpected for both of them!

After a short period of sluggishness, Yan Zhenci suddenly stepped forward, picked up the Li Yuchen sword, and brushed his fingers over the blade, only to see the cracks on the sword reflected in his palm, cutting his palm to pieces.

"This is..." The words were unbelievable, "What's going on?"

The soundtrack was equally astonishing.

But he didn't come forward like a pillow, the expression on his face changed rapidly, first he was puzzled, then thought deeply, and finally suddenly realized.

All kinds of expressions flashed across his face one by one, and then quietly disappeared.When Yan Zhenci's finger touched the body of Li Yuchen's sword, Yuan Yinliu had returned to his normal appearance, and even smiled: "So that's it... I just said, they have all found me here, or the master came out There is a problem, or there is a problem with Li Yuchenjian."

"Sigh... I came to find the Li Yuchen sword to save Zhu Xian, and now the Li Yuchen sword is broken, do I have to repair the Li Yuchen sword first in order to restore Zhu Xian?

"This is really..." Yuan Yinliu said to himself, "It's a troubled time."

When the sky opened, Xue Tianzong was sitting with his two disciples in the main hall of the outer Taoist palace.

In the spacious hall, people stood densely, and all the outer disciples of the Sword Palace gathered here.

Xue Tianzong spread a copy of the "Disciple List" in front of him, and under his left hand was the Taoist master in charge of the outer sect.The Taoist master read out the names of the outer disciples one by one according to the list, and the disciples who were called had to come out of the crowd and stand in front of Xue Tianzong.

At the beginning, the Taoist thought that Xue Tianzong came here at this time and gave such an order, in order to pick a new disciple from the outer sect to keep by his side, and also ordered the Taoist boy beside him to rush to a few ordinary days. The disciple who valued him gave him a word of advice.

But as time went by, when the Taoist master discovered that there were more than a dozen or even dozens of names in the "List of Disciples" in his hand that he had no impression of, and that they were written in black and white on the "List", he was both surprised and shocked. Frightened, fine cold sweat slowly seeped from the vest.

When the entire "List of Disciples" of the outer sect was read, Xue Tianzong said:

"A total of 300 of the 35 people disappeared. Where did they go?"

His gaze swept across the hall, whether it was the outer disciples standing in the hall or the Taoist who was in charge of all the outer disciples, everyone gave him dazed and confused gazes, as if those 35 had never appeared The person in question did not exist in the Sword Palace at all, and no one knew him. It was the record in the "Disciple List" in his hand that was wrong.

Xue Tianzong handed over the "List of Disciples", and suddenly pointed at the first disciple standing in the first row: "Liu Xi, you share the same room with Guan Yushu. Where is Guan Yushu?"

The disciple who was called had a look of astonishment: "Master Xue, disciple, disciple..." After he muttered twice, the blankness on his face seemed to have changed a little, as if the long-lost memory that had been buried in the depths of his mind had finally been erased. Turning it out, there was a glimmer of inspiration, "I remember now! Guan Yushu is my good friend, it seems—it seems like I haven't seen him for a long time?"

Xue Tianzong asked two more people, each of whom was the roommate of the missing disciple, and each of them was like Liu Xi, at first he was at a loss, then finally remembered, and realized that many of the fellow disciples who had eaten, lived and practiced with him had disappeared a lot time.

Under the low table, Xue Tianzong's hands on his knees tightened into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

He finally understood the meaning of the word "disappear" in the book of heaven.

Erase the original existence, erase the surrounding memory, completely disappear in the past and the present.

For the first time, he also needed to restrain his desire—restrain his desire to touch the heavenly book.

He closed his eyes and opened them again:

"Report to the law enforcement elders to thoroughly investigate this matter!"
