Embrace the blade

The old man Xugu stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, his beard and hair were all white, and he looked kind. When he saw them stepping through the gate, he looked Jiang Li from head to toe: "Jiang Yunruo, you are supposed to be twenty years old this year. There are three?"

"Yes."

Old man Xu Gu nodded, not surprised by his youthful appearance.

When Qi Zhaoxi heard the words, he finally had to look at Jiang Li in amazement. Before he could say anything, Elder Xu Gu asked him, "Who is this?"

"It's my master." Jiang Li said.

Qi Zhaoxi also cupped his fists to salute him: "The junior's surname is Qi, Qi Zhaoxi."

Elder Xu Gu nodded, turned around and led the three of them into the house.

The influence of the poisonous miasma gradually disappeared, Jiang Lanze quickly followed Jiang Li, and said anxiously: "Well, you... we just came in like this, don't you care about Senior Brother Ji?"

"in spite of."

Jiang Lanze glanced worriedly outside the door, but Ji Xiuming was still nowhere to be seen. Thinking about Jiang Li's words outside, he couldn't hold back his stomach full of doubts, so he vomited out: "Is your name Jiang Li or Jiang Yunruo... Why have I never heard of this name? You said that you are Jiang Jingming’s son, my cousin, but my uncle passed away before I was born, and he was never married. Where did you get your son? Also, Senior Brother Ji Did you know you before, what happened to him?"

Jiang Li glanced at him and asked, "Do you know the "Secret of Longevity"?"

"I know this. Isn't it the magical skill in the rumors? People in the Jianghu think that Gui Yun has it, but in fact it has long since disappeared."

"Who told you that?" The old man Xu Gu who walked into the room suddenly turned around and looked at him.

Jiang Lanze said, "My father said it."

"Your father?" The old man Xugu sighed in disbelief, "What is Jiang Xingzhou thinking? You are so old, and he still doesn't tell you anything."

Jiang Lanze asked blankly: "Father, what should he tell me?"

"Let your Jiang family talk about Guiyun Villa." Elder Xu Gu motioned him to sit down with Jiang Li, and his eyes fell on Qi Zhaoxi, "I'll go outside to have a chat with this one."

"He doesn't need to avoid it." Jiang Li said, "Let him stay here."

Hearing this, Qi Zhaoxi couldn't hold back the smile in his eyes, and sat down next to Jiang Li very naturally.The old man Xugu looked at the two of them meaningfully back and forth, as if he understood something, he didn't say anything, he didn't go out, and then he sat down in the room.

After a moment of silence, all three pairs of eyes looked at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li thought about how to speak, so he untied the bandage on his arm, revealing smooth and intact skin, the wound had disappeared without leaving any scars.

Qi Zhaoxi couldn't help being taken aback, and Jiang Li explained: "This is the effect of the "Longevity Formula". No matter what kind of injury, it can recover quickly."

"So that's why you didn't deal with your injuries?" Qi Zhaoxi asked.

Jiang Li lowered his eyes guiltily and said "Mmm".

Jiang Lanze exclaimed, "Does this mean that you have practiced the "Longevity Jue"? My God, this method is really amazing!"

"God?" Jiang Li looked at him, with a touch of sarcasm unconsciously in his words, "Practicing the "Longevity Formula" is like keeping evil spirits in your body. It will bring you abundant power and absorb you. The blood energy in the body, the deeper the martial arts, the more blood energy will be consumed, when you are the strongest, it is also when you are the weakest."

Jiang Lanze was speechless.

"After all, the blood energy in the human body is limited. The initial depletion will slow down the growth. With the improvement of martial arts, the blood energy required by the "Longevity Formula" exceeds the limit that a person can bear, and it will eat back." Jiang Li paused. After a while, he continued in a low voice, "For example, the appearance grows backward and the hair turns white. Gradually, it will control people's mind. Because of their own lack, they will make up for the blood energy from others."

"This... Doesn't this sound like a door evil skill?!" Jiang Lanze said.

Jiang Li nodded, and then summoned up his courage, then turned his gaze to Qi Zhaoxi, and said, "The white-haired monster you mentioned earlier is a member of the Jiang family who I practiced "The Secret of Longevity". Bu Zhi took them abducted and planted Gu on them, and the "Longevity Formula" counteracted the Gu poison, but it was also catalyzed to counterattack."

"..." Qi Zhaoxi stared at him with a serious expression that had never been seen before.

Jiang Li seemed to be afraid that he would not understand, so he said hopelessly: "One day, I will become that kind of monster."

Qi Zhaoxi couldn't help reaching out to grab him, and said in a low voice, "Jiang Li..."

"What's going on here, what Jiang family members? No one in the villa has been taken away?" Jiang Lanze's voice sounded almost at the same time, and he was completely confused.

As soon as Qi Zhaoxi touched Jiang Li, he couldn't help but pause, and then remembered that there were two other people in the room. He restrained his emotions, and slowly withdrew his hand, clenched into a fist by his side.

The old man Xugu took a panoramic view of these small movements, and slowly opened his mouth: "More than 20 years ago, a remnant of the Seven Kills Sect took advantage of Jiang Luming to practice in seclusion, and went to Guiyun Villa for revenge, killing Jiang Luming and his eldest son Jiang Jingming. Many disciples from the villa died. Did Jiang Xingzhou tell you so?"

"...Isn't that so?" Jiang Lanze heard something in his words.

The old man Xugu shook his head and sighed: "Guiyun Villa has told the world a big lie."

When everything went back 37 years ago, all the sects joined forces to encircle and suppress the Qisha sect and avenged the Taihua sect. It was a critical moment to establish the Shanhe League, but Jiang Luming, who was in full swing, was suddenly poisoned and lost all his martial arts. , had to leave sadly.

Jiang Luming wandered around and came to Taihua Valley which had been renamed as Luoxia Valley. He stumbled upon it by mistake and found Gu Si's coffin in the basement of the remains of the Taihua School, as well as a volume of "The Secret of Longevity" left by him. "Heart method.

Originally, he began to practice the "Secret of Longevity" with a glimmer of hope, but unexpectedly, Jiang Luming really regained his deep inner strength, and even realized the shocking sword technique in the deep valley.So he dressed up and went out of the valley, just in time for the competition in the arena of the Shanhe League, a sword light broke through the sky, and he won the position of leader without hesitation.

At that time, Jiang Luming's heart was agitated, thinking that the recovery of the loss was a pity from the heavens, but he didn't expect that "The Secret of Longevity" would completely change the fate of him and Guiyun Villa.

Seeing that the two sons are growing up, Jiang Luming intends to pass on what he has learned, but the elders in the villa always remind him not to lose the foundation of Guiyun Villa. After several discussions, it is finally decided that the eldest son Jiang Jingming will practice "The Secret of Longevity" With Jinglan swordsmanship, the second son Jiang Xingzhou inherited Guiyun swordsmanship.

As time went by, Jiang Luming's appearance not only didn't look old, but became younger, only white hair grew out quietly. He mistakenly thought that this mental method really had the miraculous effect of making people immortal, until a duel, he could not restrain himself and severely injured his opponent , the moment the blood spilled, his whole body was agitated and his heart was beating wildly, only then did he realize that something was wrong.

As early as when he was avenging the Taihua faction, Jiang Luming met the current old man Xugu, and secretly invited him to the villa for diagnosis, and finally revealed the truth of the "Secret of Longevity".

Even so, Jiang Luming still refused to sit still, he asked the old man Xugu to stay in the villa and think of a solution, and at the same time announced a retreat to practice, hoping to break through the mysteries of the mind and reverse his fate.

However, manpower cannot conquer the sky after all. After half a year of seclusion, Jiang Luming completely lost his temper, killed a disciple, and broke out of the villa out of control.

Jiang Jingming and Jiang Xingzhou, who had already taken on important responsibilities, urgently called people to discuss, and decided to stop and kill Jiang Luming at all costs.

"What?!" Hearing this, Jiang Lanze almost stood up in shock, "They...they want to kill their father? What about the rest of the villa, they all agreed?"

"It's not that easy." The old man Xugu said, "With the prestige of Jiang Luming's old leader, many people can't accept it. They were so emotional that they almost drew their swords on the spot. It was Jiang Jingming and Jiang Xingzhou who resisted all opinions and did this difficult job. Decide."

So all the disciples of Guiyun Villa were mobilized and the entire Luoyang City was blocked.The night was thick and the moonlight was as cold as frost. All the disciples only knew that the villa was in a critical juncture, but they didn't know that the target of the siege was the villa owner they admired most.

The group of people who knew the truth surrounded Jiang Luming in a back alley at the corner of the city. He looked like a young man with white hair hanging down and blood on his face, and his original appearance could hardly be recognized.Fighting fiercely until dawn, in the end, Jiang Luming's head was exchanged for the lives of three direct disciples and Jiang Jingming's entire right arm.

They chose to keep this secret not only for the sake of Jiang Luming's first name and the reputation of Guiyun Villa, but also because they were afraid that the Jiang Luming's painstaking efforts to establish the Shanhe League would be shaken.

They tried to destroy the "Secret of Longevity", but the volume of the mantra was written on some kind of material. It was as soft as animal skin to the touch, but it was invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire.Obviously, Gu Si left it in the hope that it would be passed on forever.

The "Secret of Longevity" is more demanding on talent and aptitude than ordinary mental methods, so although there are dozens of people in the villa practicing with Jiang Luming, there are only two or three who are outstanding in martial arts, but as long as the evil spirit lurks in the body, it is destined to become a disaster.Jiang Jingming thought about it again and again, and suggested that his brothers who practiced live in seclusion with him and keep the "Longevity Formula" to ensure peace in the world.

Originally, only the old man Xugu knew about the whole matter, but who knew that the Seven Killers raided for revenge, Jiang Luming, his eldest son and disciple died as soon as the news was released, Jiang Jingming's unmarried wife Zhou Jingtong, who had made an engagement earlier, broke into the villa. You have to see the dead body with your own eyes before you give up.

Jiang Xingzhou had no choice but to take her there secretly.Zhou Jingtong walked into the inner room, and saw Jiang Jingming standing alone, the sleeve of his right arm was empty, and his eyes turned red.

Jiang Jingming had nothing to do with her, he coaxed and persuaded her, saying that he was sorry for her, and hoped that she would find a lover again.

Zhou Jingtong only stared at him, then searched in the room by herself, until Jiang Jingming asked her puzzled, and then said: "Xing Zhou said that you made a hairpin, and you want to give it to me as a relic, so bring it."

Jiang Jingming took out the golden ginkgo leaf hairpin from the box, but Zhou Jingtong didn't reach out to take it, but still stared at him: "You put it on for me."

Jiang Jingming nodded in response, put the hairpin on her hair, and heard her say: "No matter where you go, I will follow you."

"But I'm already a cripple, and I'll only drag you down." Jiang Jingming sighed.

Zhou Jingtong suddenly turned around and grabbed his only left hand: "If you can still wear a hairpin for me, then in my opinion, it is not considered disabled."

Jiang Jingming looked at her determined gaze in astonishment, and couldn't help but smiled slightly.

A few days later, the funeral procession for Jiang Luming left Guiyun Villa and headed towards Luoxia Valley. They mixed in and stayed behind in the name of guarding the tomb.

At the same time, the news of the attack on Guiyun Villa spread all over the Jianghu, and various sects came to express their condolences, and many mourning banners were hung in the villa.

In the second year, Jiang Yunruo was born in Luoxia Valley.
