Sword Spirit became Bai Yueguang after going offline

In the early morning of early spring, mist lingers in the mountains, the sky is dimly lit, and the sun has not yet risen.

Among the blue-tiled huts lined up on the mountainside, the most remote one is almost submerged in the pine forest, and the gaps between the tiles and the walls are covered with moss due to the high humidity of the mountain forest, making it look particularly desolate.

The door was opened with a creak, and a man in a navy blue Taoist robe squatted down by the threshold of his house.

Before he could speak, an orange cat came out of the woods with three kittens, and squatted down in front of the man.

Qi Ran laughed, and put the pottery bowl in his hand in front of these orange cats, watching them eat with relish while wagging their tails.

He found these kittens when he was practicing swords deep in the mountains. The big orange cat had just given birth at that time. Unfortunately, it was the time when the mountains were covered by heavy snow. If no one rescued the family, they would have to starve to death in the mountains. .

Qi Ran set up a small floor heating formation for their tree holes, fed them food for a few more days, and didn't go there until the snow melted.

Half a month ago, the female cat somehow found Qi Ran's residence, and brought some dead birds and rats to Qi Ran's house every now and then, and put them in front of Qi Ran's door. The three little ones were sitting upright beside them, and the scene was a bit weird.

Fortunately, when Qi Ran was living on the street when he was a child, he often took care of some kittens and puppies on the side of the road. Later, he also raised a little gray stray dog ​​as a companion. Knowing that the female cat was here to repay his kindness, he often knelt down to express his gratitude. Then push the prey back in front of the cats, and they will know that Qi Ran has received their wishes.

After the successful "establishment of diplomatic relations", Qi Ran prepared food for them every day and fed them for a period of time.

"Miss Orange, Big Orange, Second Orange, Three Orange," Qi Ran stretched out his hand and stroked the tops of their heads one by one, saying goodbye to them, "This morning is the last meal, sir, I'm going on a long trip, and I won't I'm back."

Ju Xiaoniang seemed to understand, she stopped talking and walked in front of Qi Ran, she rubbed her head against Qi Ran's ankle acting like a spoiled child.

Qi Ran scratched its chin, and sighed: "I can't help it, I died tragically in my previous life, and I didn't have time to collect the corpses of myself and the elders of the sect. After the sect was destroyed, I heard that it was still haunted by demonic energy all day long. Enclosed it as a place for disciple trials, I am not in a good enough state now, so I have to take advantage of this opportunity to get in justifiably."

Miss Orange obviously couldn't understand what he was talking about, and turned over on the ground following Qi Ran's fingers, revealing her white belly.

"When you have a baby in the future, don't choose to hide in the deep mountains and old forests, you know?" Qi Ran poked at it, "Find a place where there are people to hide, and you won't be hungry no matter what."

"Meow~" Miss Orange called out.

"Okay, let's eat quickly." Qi Ran stood up and nodded his head, "Live well, we will see each other again."

Qi Ran returned to the tile house, wiped his face with water.The original owner, Qi Ran, is over 40 years old, but so far only has the third level of qi refining, and has not yet obtained the method of retaining the face. The face revealed by the clear water, can vaguely see the handsome youth, but because of the wrinkles between the eyebrows and eyes, it shows the vicissitudes of life .

His bone appearance is actually very similar to Qi Ran's original body, but Qi Ran was picked up from the market by the master of the Sword Sect Master Yundeng when he was only eight years old. Ai Nao spends all day in the mountains and forests, harming birds and beasts, and successfully established a foundation at the age of 15, and stepped into the Jindan stage at the age of 24.

At that time, he heard from his junior brother that if his talent was placed on the outside, he could be called a once-in-a-century genius. However, the past masters of Jianzong seem to have special skills in recruiting apprentices. There are only a dozen or so people, but all of them are amazingly talented. Forming alchemy within the age of 30 is purely a routine operation. If you can also cultivate the sword heart while forming alchemy, it will be called amazing.

The sword sect has been passed down for hundreds of years, and there are very few who can cultivate the heart of the sword at a young age. In this generation, only Qi Ran, a little brother who doesn't look like a sword cultivator, has succeeded.

When the sect was exterminated, Qi Ran was beaten to pieces after the sect leader blew himself up, and when he became Gu Lingxiao's sword spirit, he came out intermittently to let the wind go, knowing that Jianzong was suddenly joined by the Demonic Dao sect No one in the whole faction survived the invasion, and the sword array protecting the mountain exploded in the end, and all jade and stone were burned, and the sword sect became a sword mound.

Now, 20 years later, the sword mound has an additional suffix, which has become the "secret realm of the sword mound". It is rumored that the territory is surrounded by demonic energy and sword intent. A natural place of trials.

The sect where the original owner Qi Ran belonged to was called Qingxin Sect, which was affiliated with Shangxuanzong, the number one sect in the world. This year, there were two quotas to go to the secret realm of Jianzhong with disciples of Shangxuanzong to try.

On the mountainside platform of Qingxin Peak, there is a bluestone square about [-] feet wide, where more than a hundred disciples from the outer sect of Qingxin Sect listen to morning classes every day, and ask the Taoist elders about their confusion in practice.

While waiting for the class to start today, the disciples crowded together in groups. Many disciples who failed to squeeze into the front row of the crowd even sacrificed their magic weapons and hung tremblingly in mid-air to watch the excitement.

I saw a 40-year-old man in the center of the crowd holding a Qingfeng sword across the throat of a young man in a brocade robe.

"Qi Ran! What are you doing!? The immortal master of Shang Xuanzong will come to pick us up soon! If you miss me and the senior brothers and sisters, you will feel better when the teaching elders come over later!" The young man Obviously a little scared, he didn't dare to move, but he yelled loudly.

"Stop? Yes! Gu Peng, as long as you answer honestly, why did the Jade Slips I handed in this time become your name?" It was Qi Ran who did it.

The orthodox sects may feel that it would be somewhat unkind if they directly enclose the Jianzong ruins as a training ground for the younger generations, so every time they organize a trial, they will issue an additional sword formula test question. The winning move in the battle can directly get the quota to participate in the trial, which is called creating an opportunity to inherit the sword sect.

Qi Ran knew that the jade slips he handed in for the exam might be overtaken, so he just waited to come to Gu Peng today to settle the score.

"What do you mean 'became my name'?" Gu Peng raised his head and said, denying, "The jade slips I handed over were taken by the immortal masters of Shangxuanzong, so don't talk nonsense!"

Qi Ran said flatly, "Gu Peng, I know that my understanding is limited. Now that I am getting older, I finally got a chance. You should know how important this trial opportunity is to me. If you don't say a word, you will replace me. I am really shameless! As for whether I am talking nonsense, we will confront each other face to face when the teaching elder arrives."

The disciples onlookers looked at Qi Ran, who was known to be hopeless, and at Gu Peng, who was always walking sideways among the disciples of the outer sect. Many people spoke to persuade them.

"Senior brother Gu Peng, why don't you talk to Qi Ran and make up some spirit stones to make an apology! It's not easy for people to learn the right sword formula, so it's a bit too much for you to resist directly."

"That's right, Qi Ran, you can collect some spirit stones. To put it bluntly, even if you go this time, you will probably return empty-handed. Although the opportunity is not easy, but with your aptitude... Sigh, we didn't hit you, so accept your fate early still!"

"That's right, Qi Ran, hurry up and put it away, and now there's a commotion, not to mention the teaching elders, maybe the immortal masters of Xuanzong will also come over, you guys who are on the verge of breaking out, don't let people bump into it and watch the joke! "

These words are extremely unpleasant, but the original owner is completely depressed and cowardly, maybe he can really listen to it and take the money to settle the matter.

As long as Qiran still has a little heart to pursue the way, he will not commit suicide by taking medicine.

"Hey." Qi Ran sighed deeply.If it wasn't for the fear that his personality would change too much and he would be questioned and seized, he wouldn't be bothered to beg for justice here, and just drag Gu Peng fainted to the main hall of Qingxin Gate early in the morning to wait, but for Qi Ran, Holding up his sword to stop Gu Peng and seek justice from the teaching elders is already the most outrageous thing he can do.

Unexpectedly, Qi Ran hadn't refused yet, and Gu Peng got angry first: "You still want to get money? I'll fuck you, you bastard! If you insist on it, you will insist on it! Let's see how the elders who are teaching today will make a decision!"

Qi Ran squinted his eyes, knowing that Gu Peng might have made arrangements for the teaching elder who came today.

Sure enough, a voice like a bell sounded: "What's the noise?"

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw that the elder who taught today was the real Chiyang, whose cultivation base should be at the early stage of Jindan, and he was the one who had a close relationship with Gu Peng according to the gossip.

The disciples quickly dispersed and lined up one by one according to the interval of the daily morning class.

More than a hundred disciples from the outer sect, including Gu Peng himself, thought that Qi Ran would back down when Chi Yang Daoist came, but Qi Ran was determined to make a fuss to the end as if he had been weighed down today.

In the instantly silent Qingshi Square, the confrontation between the two was extremely abrupt.

"What's going on?!" Chiyang Daoist was thin and small, and walked in front of Qi Ran and Gu Peng with his brows furrowed. Seeing that Qi Ran was not moving, he said in a more serious tone, "Is there anything to talk about after class?" The comrades of Shangxuanzong are already on their way to Qingxin Peak, and if there is any dispute, the sect's reputation will be the most important thing!"

This Chiyang real person is quite accomplished in the "Drag Word Art".

"Elder, it's not that I don't care about the reputation of the sect, it's just that I heard that this time I went to the site of the sword sect, it was led by Gu Ling, who is the best at using swords in the Shangxuan sect... Zhenjun Ling Xiao, maybe he is the one who will take the exam this time." It's out," Qi Ran almost called out the name of his former task target, choked, and then said loudly, "At that time, if he wants to communicate with Gu Peng, Senior Brother Gu Peng won't even be able to answer the question in silence. Come out, wouldn't it be a laughing stock in front of all sects."

Immortal Chiyang seemed a little hesitant when he heard this, but Gu Peng raised his chin and said arrogantly: "Huh, let me tell you Qi Ran! Master Ling Xiao is a distant relative of my family. If we really meet, I have to call He called Big Brother Gu!"

"?" Qi Ran laughed when he heard this. He has been Gu Lingxiao's sword spirit for 20 years. Although he was gradually shelved in the next few years and often could only sleep in Gu Lingxiao's sea of ​​consciousness, from the beginning to the end, Gu Lingxiao never had a sword spirit in his life. There was no trace of any relatives.

In this situation, even if Gu Lingxiao wasn't a vagrant like him, he must have been cut off from the world long ago.

I don't know where this relative of Gu Peng climbed out, but it was enough to dispel the slight hesitation of Master Chiyang.

"Okay, Qi Ran, it's already the third quarter of the hour, don't mess around anymore." The real Chiyang said, the floating dust in his left hand was changed to his right hand, and Qi Ran saw at a glance that he wanted to take down his sword directly. Saved Gu Peng.

Now the scene seems to have entered a dead end, and many disciples who watched secretly from the corner of their eyes have already sighed silently, perhaps feeling that Qi Ran, who was as timid and fearful as an old scalper in the past, had finally hardened himself, and still only Can come to nothing.

But for Qi Ran, it is impossible for him to give up the quota of Jianzong's trip, and there is absolutely no reason to back down.

Before Chiyang Daoist could make a move, Qi Ran dodged behind Gu Peng sideways, and the posture of pointing at Gu Peng with a sword suddenly changed into a standard posture of wiping his neck and hijacking him. "Elder Chiyang, Senior Brother Gu Peng, and fellow disciples, I have always been kind to others in the past, and things have come to this point. The number of trials is a small matter, and my innocence is a big matter. Whoever slanders and who makes a fake, must have an explanation today. It depends on whether we go directly to the main hall, or wait here for Zhenjun Ling Xiao to come and find Senior Brother Gu Peng to confess his relatives."

Master Chiyang's hands froze in the air, and the surrounding disciples also dropped their jaws.

Needle dropping could be heard in the whole Qingshi Square, after a while, I saw Master Chiyang's chest heaving a few times, and finally let go of his hand.

Qi Ran knew it was over.The real Chiyang protects and protects, the reputation of the sect and his face in front of the sect leader are the most important, if he chooses the posture of dying in full view, he can't splatter blood on the spot, so who dares to resist the pressure In the end, anyone can get what they want.

"Forget it, Qi Ran, you go report, Gu Peng stays here." Chi Yang Master said solemnly.

Regardless of the fact that his neck was still under the sword, Gu Peng said, "Qi Ran, just wait for me! You will feel better when you come back!"

Qi Ran folded his sword and cupped his hands calmly, "Thank you Chiyang Elder Mingjian."

After Qi Ran finished speaking, he was about to use light body technique to go up the mountain, when suddenly a familiar prompt came from the sea of ​​consciousness: "Ding!"

……Um?The matchmaker system is online?

"Hello host, I detected the appearance of the task target, do you want to accept today's part-time task?" The tone of the matchmaker system sounded casual and relaxed, which was completely different from the dejected voice of the previous toolman system.

"What's the mission?" Qi Ran thought of the [-] spirit stone mission he mentioned earlier, which is really a lot of money.Moreover, Qi Ran's cultivation base is too low now, and his soul has a state but not enough spiritual power. It is the opening that needs a lot of spiritual stones to quickly improve his cultivation base. "...Wait, Gu Lingxiao is here?"

Before Qi Ran could look around, a cold and hoarse voice sounded: "Since you have decided, let's go."
