"...?" Jiang Yan was stunned with a smile.

【system!What does he mean? 】He was a little panicked,【Is this going to take back the Floating Sword? 】

[Also, do I have to be Taiweiqing to be a teacher... His eyes can eat people! 】

The system still shouldn't.Even though he was reluctant, Jiang Yanxiao did not dare to disobey, lest he offend Li Xuanqing, this teacher would really fail to worship.He took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and placed the Floating Sword in Li Xuanqing's palm, and when he accidentally touched Li Xuanqing's finger, he was shuddered by the ice.

Jiang Yanxiao vaguely understood something.

He quickly withdrew his hands, his eyes swept over the center of Li Xuanqing's eyebrows, and he found a light blue ice rib pattern.

Jiang Yanxiao didn't dare to look too much, lowered his eyes, and gritted his teeth in annoyance.

——I don't hold a sword, and I don't ask about human affairs.

This is slapping him in the face naked!

Who is Taiwei Qingzun?It's clearly written in the original book.He has already merged human and sword into one, turning the sword into invisible, why do he need to hold the sword?He has been cultivating in Yunfu Mountain all year round, and he only takes action when monsters cause harm to the mortal world, so how can he have time to take care of trivial matters of the fairy sect?

He said just now that every time he is bullied, he will imagine in his mind Qingzun Taiwei holding the Taiwei sword, walking towards him step by step, saving him from the fire...

"..." Jiang Yan's face tingled slightly with a smile, and he was even more unwilling to meet Li Xuanqing's eyes.

After Li Xuanqing retracted the Floating Sword, he scanned it from beginning to end with his eyes, as if confirming something.Afterwards, without looking at Jiang Yanxiao, he walked into the beam of light on the edge of the cliff, let go of his hand, and the Fusheng Sword recovered with a groan.

The wind is getting stronger and colder.A chill ran from Jiang Yanxiao's feet to the top of his head.

Soon, that ominous premonition came true—Li Xuanqing turned around and said to Luo Xiaofei who was beside him, "You said he lied to you?"

Luo Xiaofei was taken aback for a moment: "Yes, Immortal Venerable."

"Come here, draw your sword." Li Xuanqing said expressionlessly.

Luo Xiaofei stayed for a few seconds before reacting, and opened his mouth wide.For a moment, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and stammered: "Many, thank you Xianzun!"

Li Xuanqing didn't say much, and took a few steps back, leaving the space for Luo Xiaofei.Luo Xiaofei hurried forward, saluted Li Xuanqing first, and then stepped into the beam of light.

Jiang Yan smiled and closed his eyes: [I can't see, I can't see. 】

Probably after resting for a long time and accumulating some energy, the system finally made a sound: 【...What are you doing? 】

Jiang Yan smiled: [Prevent your face from hurting. 】

system:【……】

But no matter how annoyed Jiang Yanxiao is in his heart, how much he deceives himself and others, it can't change the fact - the protagonist of this book will definitely be able to draw a sword!

No one can remain calm when facing the Floating Sword, and no one will hide their strength when trying the sword.The same goes for Luo Xiaofei.

His cheeks were flushed with excitement, and he half-knelt down in an almost pious posture, raising his hand to hold the hilt of his sword.Gritting his teeth tightly, his arms led his whole body to use his strength, only to hear the sound of "嗡——" and the Floating Sword was pulled out again!

Jiang Yan smiled: "..."

Okay, it seems that the battle line is going to be stretched.

A few steps away, Luo Xiaofei raised his head and said to Li Xuanqing: "Immortal Venerable, I have drawn out my sword!"

His voice was loud, his expression was jumping with joy, and his eyes were shining, as if filled with light.

Jiang Yan smiled inexplicably a little upset.

Before he could figure out what was causing the unhappiness in his heart, Li Xuanqing replied flatly, without a trace of ups and downs: "Yes."

The unhappiness disappeared in an instant.

"Xianzun, my name is Jiang Yanxiao, and I pulled it out too!" Jiang Yanxiao shouted louder, and raised his hand to wave to Li Xuanqing.

Li Xuanqing: "..."

Probably because he didn't expect Jiang Yanxiao to be so shameless, Luo Xiaofei turned to Jiang Yanxiao abruptly, wishing to poke someone with his eyes.Jiang Yanxiao waved to him instead, showing a big smile.

Seeing his dimples, Luo Xiaofei was taken aback.Later, he saw Jiang Yanxiao stuck out his tongue at him and made another grimace.

Luo Xiaofei: "..."

The man with the birthmark was eating melons silently beside him, and he was even happier to see this: "Hahaha! Senior brother, both of them drew their swords, but you swore to accept an apprentice, this..."

"Wash your face before you speak," Li Xuanqing said coldly, "If there is a next time, you will not be allowed to enter Yunfu Mountain."

"...Brother, you are too cruel." The birthmark man couldn't laugh anymore, he touched his face and muttered, "Isn't it pretty..."

Jiang Yanxiao and Luo Xiaofei were all focused on the Floating Sword before, and had no time to identify the man with the birthmark.Now that the man with the birthmark called his brother a few times, why can't he react?

The so-called returning to the original is for the truth.According to legend, there are three empty realms in Yunfu Mountain, and each realm has a sword of township.The Floating Sword suppresses the Vientiane Realm, the Taiwei Sword suppresses the Real Realm, and the sword that suppresses the Yuan Realm is the Jichen Sword.

The man with the birthmark in front of him is Li Xuanyu, the master of Guiyuan realm, the master of Jichen sword, and Li Xuanqing's direct junior brother.

In the original book, Li Xuanqing's roles are small, and Li Xuanyu's roles are even less.Jiang Yanxiao only vaguely remembered that this Lonely Chen Jianjian was active, mischievous, and unbearably lonely, which was the exact opposite of his senior brother Taiwei Qingzun.

It now appears that it is.From Li Xuanqing's point of view, Li Xuanyu didn't look like this originally, but changed his face or daubed something on his face to become what he is now.

He still thinks he looks good... I don't know if it's because his aesthetics is different from ordinary people or because he is too confident in his heart.

After Li Xuanqing finished speaking, he kept silent, staring at the sky, wondering what he was thinking.Seeing this, Li Xuanyu covered the birthmark on his left face with his hand, stepped forward to Li Xuanqing's side, leaned over and said a few words to him.

After a while, Li Xuanqing nodded.

Li Xuanyu turned around, said to Jiang Yanxiao and Luo Xiaofei: "The two of you came to test the sword wall today, and pulled out the Floating Sword at the same time, your talent is one in a million."

"Unfortunately, my senior brother only accepts one disciple, and he is destined to be destined to only one of you two." Li Xuanyu said, "Although it is difficult to choose, we have to choose. The second and third rounds of the test determine which of the two of you Who can stay."

Luo Xiaofei was too young, his body tensed up when he heard the words.Jiang Yanxiao didn't react at all, and said to the system in his heart: [System, if I remember correctly, there are three tests for apprenticeship, namely sword test, crane selection, and three questions? 】

System: [Not bad. 】

Sure enough, Li Xuanyu went on to say: "When you pulled out the Floating Sword before, it tested your aptitude and roots. As a sword cultivator, you must also have a metaphysical understanding of the way of the sword."

"This level is to test your sword heart and understanding."

With a wave of Li Xuanyu's sleeves, two sheets of rice paper suddenly appeared in the air, about one foot long and three feet wide, placed diagonally from top to bottom, and the height was just right for people to write on them.Along with the rice paper, there are two inkstones and two purple brushes, floating beside the rice paper, exuding a faint fragrance of ink.

"There are three questions in total," Li Xuanyu said, "I will give you a stick of incense time to think and answer, and you need to write the answers on paper. After a stick of incense, the senior brother will judge."

Luo Xiaofei hurriedly said: "Okay."

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "No problem."

"Listen well," Li Xuanyu nodded, "These three questions are in order—what is a sword, what is a way, and if you hold this sword, what should you do?"

"let's start."

After he finished speaking, he walked aside to talk with Li Xuanqing, and didn't pay any more attention here.The moment Li Xuanyu turned around, Luo Xiaofei picked up the pen and began to write, but within a short time, he had already filled a line.

[…] Jiang Yanxiao felt guilty for a while, and hurriedly asked the system for help.

【system!I remember that classmate Luo Xiaofei got full marks in this part! 】Jiang Yan said with a smile,【No matter how much I cheat, I will at most tie with him.The issue is……】

Jiang Yan laughed and stopped talking, the system waited for a while and didn't hear his voice: [What is it? 】

Jiang Yan smiled: [I can't write calligraphy! 】

[…] The system paused, and then said, [Then what words you write in the university exam, it's the same here, right? 】

Jiang Yan smiled: [No problem! 】

Although the sound of the system is still a mechanical sound, the volume is much lower, and it sounds very weak.In the following period of time, the system did not speak again, but frantically provided information to Jiang Yanxiao for his reference and choice.Before Jiang Yan smiled and passed through the book, he had no other skills, other than being good at playing games and having a good attitude, he was good at cramming.Therefore, in the face of the massive amount of information, he thought hard, coupled with his own understanding, and spent half the time trying to piece together the answer.

Then it's the turn to "fill in the answer sheet".

Jiang Yanxiao moved his wrist, picked up the brush in the posture of holding chopsticks, and bent down to draw on the rice paper.

"..." Luo Xiaofei, who had already finished answering the questions beside him and had been observing Jiang Yanxiao silently, couldn't help but said, "Zi definitely didn't take it like this."

"Cough, you don't understand this," Jiang Yanxiao forcefully explained, "This is called—writing with the mind but not the form."

He had never learned writing with a brush before, and he held the pen in a strange posture, and he was using too much force. Zihao fell on the paper, making a rustling sound, not like writing a book, but tearing up paper.

This voice caught Li Xuanyu's attention, and he walked over to take a look: "!!!"

"Why did you write my pen bald!"

Jiang Yanxiao quickly reduced his strength, from "holding chopsticks" to "holding pencil."

Li Xuanyu turned to look at his writing, stared at it for a long time, and couldn't help but said again: "Also, what are you writing here?"

Jiang Yan glanced at his answer with a smile: "You don't understand?"

Li Xuanyu looked at him with unfathomable eyes.

[…] Jiang Yanxiao asked the system in his heart, [System, you can always understand. 】

[Number, data...] The system is stuck, and said, [Data reading failed! 】

Jiang Yan smiled: […]

There was not much time, Jiang Yanxiao couldn't explain clearly to Li Xuanqing, but just immersed himself in writing, and finally completed his "masterpiece" before a stick of incense.

Li Xuanyu still lowered his head, frowning, trying to decipher his words.After a while, I really couldn't recognize him, so I had to say to Li Xuanqing: "Senior brother, come and take a look!"

"What the hell is this? Even ghost symbols are clearer than this."

Jiang Yan smiled: "..."

Li Xuanqing came as he said, first stopped beside Luo Xiaofei, and glanced at his rice paper.

Luo Xiaofei pursed his lips, fearing that Li Xuanqing would not comment, he took the initiative to ask: "Xianzun, what do you think of my answer?"

Li Xuanqing nodded and said, "Not bad."

Luo Xiaofei almost jumped up.

Then, Jiang Yanxiao saw his quasi-master walk to his rice paper, staring at the rice paper for a long time.

For a moment, there was only the sound of wind and weak breathing around.Jiang Yanxiao clenched his fists, unexpectedly finding that he was a little nervous.

Li Xuanyu said from the side: "Brother, do you understand?"

Li Xuanqing didn't answer, but turned his gaze to Jiang Yanxiao: "Have you never read a book?"

"Eh..." Jiang Yanxiao said with a bite of the bullet, "The family is poor and can't afford to read."

Li Xuanyu and Luo Xiaofei suddenly realized, and looked at Jiang Yanxiao with a trace of sympathy.Li Xuanqing was unmoved, and only said: "Read."

Jiang Yan smiled: "Huh?"

"If you can't write clearly, then read it out." Li Xuanyu knew that his senior brother didn't talk much, so he didn't bother to explain, so he simply helped him and said, "So, let me ask, and you answer, is that okay?"

Jiang Yan smiled: "...OK."

Li Xuanyu cleared his throat and said, "First question, what is a sword?"

The words turned around in his heart, and Jiang Yan smiled and seemed to realize something: "The king of a hundred soldiers, the heart of a hundred refinements... To eliminate evil and treacherous evil, cold iron has a spirit."

Li Xuanyu: "Then, what is Tao?"

"Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature." Jiang Yanxiao took a deep breath, "The Tao is the freedom of doing nothing, and the unity of man and nature."

"That's right. One last question," Li Xuanyu said, "If you hold this sword, what should you do?"

Jiang Yanxiao raised his head, his eyes turned, and fell on the icicles on the center of Li Xuanqing's eyebrows.In an instant, thousands of pictures turned in my mind, the snow that never melted on Yunfu Mountain, the pair of cold phoenix eyes, and the ending of Taiwei Qingzun in the original book—reappearing from Yunfu Mountain for the peace of the Six Realms, and finally sword Broken body and death, soul flies away...

Jiang Yan smiled and closed his eyes.

"Entering the world of mortals, going through the world," he paused word by word, "...to prove the Tao with a sword, and you will never hesitate to die."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone froze.Li Xuanqing approached him a few steps, obviously without making a sound, but every step seemed to be stepping on Jiang Yanxiao's heart, like a heavy stone, making it difficult to breathe.

That is the oppression from the sword master, the sword energy is invisible but the coercion is tangible.

Li Xuanqing stayed beside Jiang Yanxiao, watching him: "Why don't you want to practice in seclusion?"

Looking at each other, Jiang Yanxiao didn't avoid it.

"Because... this sword was born in the realm of myriad phenomena, and it is called - Floating Life."

Dead silence.

After a long time, Li Xuanqing looked away and waved his hands: "Forget it, leave it to them."

His words were vague, Jiang Yanxiao and Luo Xiaofei looked at each other, and turned their heads away, not sure what Li Xuanqing meant.Li Xuanyu couldn't be more clear.

What his senior brother meant was that the two had a tie in the second trial, so he couldn't make a choice, so he simply handed it over to Xianhe!

The clouds and mist rolled, and the wind was mighty.On the edge of the cliff, Li Xuanqing's white robe and black hair were blown up by the wind, half hidden in the floating clouds.He held out his hand above his head in a beckoning gesture.

But after a while, there was a clear and long cry from the sky, and a snow-white figure appeared in the sky, circled a few times and then landed.

It lightly landed on Li Xuanqing's arm, retracted its wings, and rubbed against Li Xuanqing's neck with its long neck.

"Xiaobai!" Li Xuanyu walked over and patted the crane's head, "You can't just ignore me."

Xiaobai turned his neck and looked him up and down, suspicion, enlightenment, disgust flashed in his black bean-like eyes... Finally he turned his head and ignored him.

"..." Li Xuanyu began to doubt himself, "Is it so difficult to catch the eye? I painted your tail on my face!"

Everyone: "..."

Jiang Yan looked at Xiaobai with a smile - the crane had cinnabar on its head, its tail was pure black, and the rest was snow white.Looking at it this way, the birthmark is really in the shape of a crane's tail.

He had already guessed the follow-up test, and stepped forward to interrupt Li Xuanyu's performance: "Really, what is the third round of competition?"

Li Xuanyu poked Xiaobai's head to vent his anger: "In the last round, the person who made the question was not senior, let alone me."

"Yunfu Mountain was also called Heshan in ancient times, where most cranes lived, and it was a place where auspicious clouds gather." Li Xuanyu said, "Cranes have spirits, they can distinguish good from evil, and they are bound by swords. You are so outstanding, my brother and I have Unable to make a choice, I will leave it to these cranes for the last try, and ask them to make the final choice."

Compared to Jiang Yanxiao who was calm because of the prophet, Luo Xiaofei never expected that there would be such a trial.He gritted his teeth and said, "You mean...let us summon the crane?"

Li Xuanyu: "Exactly."

Jiang Yan smiled: "So, we should also raise our hands like Taiwei Qingzun?"

Li Xuanyu: "...That's not necessary."

"You two, come here." Li Xuanyu waved to them.Jiang Yanxiao and Luo Xiaofei followed their advice and walked to the edge of the cliff.

Li Xuanyu said: "Just stay here, don't move. When Xiaobai gives the order, the cranes will naturally make their choice."

Jiang Yanxiao and Luo Xiaofei: "...Yes."

Li Xuanyu turned around, and went to tease Xiaobai who was held in Li Xuanqing's arms.Taking advantage of this gap, Jiang Yanxiao frantically called the system.

[System, system, are you still there? !It's the last round, you must hold on. 】

System: [...To be honest, I'm dying. 】

Jiang Yan said with a smile: [Then please take a look back, please! 】

system:【……】

[I remember in the original book that when Luo Xiaofei was apprenticed to a teacher, there was a big commotion at the crane election—a total of 99 cranes came to him and danced around him, proving that he is the real chosen one, 】Jiang Yan said with a smile,【I thought about it, it's come to this point, I can only succeed in apprenticeship if I summon more cranes! 】

【……Um. 】The system is weak, 【It's a pity that I don't have enough energy, so I'm not sure how far I can help you. 】

Jiang Yan smiled: [Do your best. 】

The system said hello, and then stopped talking.Jiang Yanxiao had to pray that everything goes well.

On the other side, Li Xuanyu has already coaxed Xiao Bai.Xiaobai insisted on clinging to Li Xuanqing's arms and refused to come down, so Li Xuanqing hugged it and walked towards the edge of the cliff.

"Who do you want to choose?" Li Xuan said calmly.

He let go of his hand all of a sudden, and threw the crane in his arms out.

"Hula-"

The snow-white wings spread out, drawing a graceful arc in the air, Xiaobai screamed, and flew into the distance, gradually turning into a snow spot.

"Luo Xiaofei," Jiang Yanxiao suddenly turned his head, "No matter what the result is, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Luo Xiaofei's back stiffened, and he turned his head in surprise: "You..."

"Stay here for a while, I have something to tell you." Jiang Yan smiled at him and pointed to the sky, "Look—here comes the crane!"

A line of white suddenly appeared on the horizon, and when it approached at a speed visible to the naked eye, it extended into a floating cloud.

Was it his choice?

As soon as Jiang Yanxiao had this idea, he saw a group of cranes flying towards Luo Xiaofei, all of them stopped above his head, circling and dancing happily.

Jiang Yan smiled: "..."

"!!" Luo Xiaofei was so surprised that he didn't know what to say, and immediately looked at Li Xuanqing who was not far away.

"99? What a big battle." Standing beside Li Xuanqing, Li Xuanyu said softly, "It's a pity that the kid next to him didn't attract a crane?"

Hearing this, Li Xuanqing only said: "There is no rush."

As soon as his words fell, there was a sudden commotion from the sky.The group of cranes spread their wings, and the sound shook the sky, as if snow waves were rolling in, and the white line on the horizon became bigger and bigger, getting closer, and soon covered the entire sky!

Li Xuanyu was stunned: "Then...that's it?!"

Li Xuanqing: "A total of nine hundred and ninety-nine cranes."
