Li Mingyue has been following this strong man from Tianjian Mountain. After passing through the palaces, he came to a place with a small bridge and flowing water. Then the old man took Li Mingyue across the wooden bridge and came to a second-floor bamboo building.
Before.
The old man stopped downstairs and saluted: "Old Ancestor, my disciple has brought my junior uncle here."
An old man's voice came from the second floor of the bamboo building: "I understand, you should go back first. By the way, keep an eye on the situation in the north. If possible, send some disciples to help, and you can also get some experience. Zong will stay here
On the mountain, everyone feels that they are invincible."
The old man seemed not to be surprised by the words of his ancestor. He said goodbye and left, leaving only Li Mingyue alone.
Li Mingyue looked at the second floor, not daring to go beyond the rules.
The old man on the second floor continued: "Come up."
Li Mingyue then moved upstairs, but just as he stepped onto the first step, his expression suddenly changed, because it was as if an invisible giant sword fell from the sky to suppress him completely.
Li Mingyue did not retreat, thinking that it should be the greeting gift for this ancestor when they first met. As the saying goes, it is a gift from the elders and one dare not refuse. Li Mingyue forcibly resisted the pressure and continued to climb up. But as he climbed higher, Li Mingyue
I felt that the suppressive momentum was getting stronger and stronger. After I reached the fifth level, I started to breathe a little and sweat broke out on my forehead.
Li Mingyue stopped and looked up at the second floor, but there was no movement on the second floor.
Helpless, Li Mingyue continued gritting her teeth and persisting, moving up step by step, and finally reached the second floor. This was when he felt that the energy he had just recovered was completely exhausted again. His face was pale, and he felt a little reluctant to even stand, but that was okay.
That momentum completely disappeared when he stepped onto the second floor.
The door on the second floor opened, and the old man's voice came from the room: "It's not bad. With the True Yuan realm, you can withstand the pressure and come forward. You are worthy of being a disciple of Chen Daoling."
Li Mingyue hurriedly saluted and gasped: "I have met my ancestor."
The old man said: "Come in."
Li Mingyue walked in. In the room, a thin old man was flipping through the classics on the bookcase. He said: "The pressure before was not my temptation to you, but the temptation generated by Tianjian Mountain on its own. Because of you,
There is an aura about him that is completely contrary to Tianjian Mountain, which triggered the conflict between the sword energy."
Having said this, he turned around, looked at the bell on Li Mingyue's waist, and said, "It's probably because of this chaos clock, or it may be because you have had frequent contact with evil spirits along the way."
Li Mingyue was stunned and couldn't help but look down at the bell on her waist.
The old man raised his hand, and the sword-raising gourd on Li Mingyue's waist appeared in front of the old man, but he did not reach out to pick it up. After taking a look, he asked: "This should be the one your mother took away from Zhenwu Mountain."
."
Li Mingyue nodded, knowing that this ancestor also had two sword gourds, but she was still a little worried. Wouldn't this ancestor also keep his own?
But as soon as this idea came into his mind, the old man pushed the sword gourd in front of Li Mingyue and said: "Since you already have it, I don't need to give it to you. Let's exchange it for something."
As he spoke, a jade sword appeared in front of him, and then floated to Li Mingyue. He explained: "This is the condensed sword energy of Tianjian Mountain. It has a strong sense of evil things, even at the holy level.
It’s hard for a great demon to escape the feeling of this sword.”
Li Mingyue said hurriedly: "Such a precious thing, disciple..."
Before he finished speaking, the old man interrupted directly: "You just keep it if you give it to you. How can you have the same virtue as Chen Daoling? I won't give it to others if they ask me. It's better for you, master and disciple, not to give it away."
Li Mingyue did not dare to refuse anymore, bowed and thanked her, and then accepted the sword.
The old man seemed to have finally found the book he was looking for. After taking it out, he motioned for Li Mingyue to sit down and then put the book on the table. However, he did not mean to read it, but pushed it to Li Mingyue and said, "Take a look.
"
Li Mingyue opened the book with doubts. What was recorded in it were some history related to Tianjian Mountain, such as when and what happened in Tianjian Mountain. When she looked at the back, there were many more records about Chen Daoling.
Li Mingyue read carefully, and the more he read, the deeper his frown deepened. However, when he thought he could solve some doubts in this book, all the records about Chen Daoling stopped abruptly, and from then on, he did not mention a word.
It’s some common things about Tianjian Mountain.
Li Mingyue frowned and closed the book.
The old man said: "After Chen Daoling left Tianjian Mountain, there were no records. This is not because he is no longer a disciple of Tianjian Mountain, but because some of the things he wanted to do are difficult to record."
Li Mingyue was confused, but did not ask questions. Instead, she found it a bit strange, because according to the records above, Chen Daoling left Tianjian Mountain a thousand years ago. This means that the old Taoist who used to get along with him day and night
, has actually lived for more than a thousand years.
The old man continued: "Tianjian Mountain does not have any clear purpose, but it does have a common goal. Of course, this goal is not at the level of a grand master, and even if you have reached the realm of a grand master, you may not be qualified to know it, but
You are different."
Having said this, he looked up at Li Mingyue and continued: "Since you are Chen Daoling's disciple, and since he has placed all his hopes on you, you have the right to know some things, especially those related to him.
Of course, you still have to decide whether you want to know, or when you want to know, but you must be aware of one thing. For some things, the sooner you know, it may not be a good thing."
Li Mingyue nodded and said: "I know this, but there are some things that I think I should know. Since I have come to Tianjian Mountain, and since I can know these things in Tianjian Mountain, it is destined that I should know these things."
The old man nodded, stood up and said, "Follow me."
Li Mingyue stood up and followed.
After the old man walked out of the house, he walked directly into the air, and Li Mingyue could only follow. The two of them went one behind the other, all the way up to the top of the mountain.
After reaching the top of the mountain, the old man lowered his body and formed a seal with his hands. A golden door appeared in the sky, with thousands of fairy swords hanging in front of it.
The old man pointed to the Heavenly Gate and said: "After that Heavenly Gate, there is the Immortal World. However, because of these immortal swords left by sword cultivators of past generations, there are fewer and fewer people who can ascend now, because this means that those who ascended
We have to cross these fairy swords, which is certainly not easy."
Li Mingyue just stared at the Tianmen, not knowing what she was thinking. She didn't seem to hear the old man's words.
The old man didn't care and continued: "Because of the existence of these immortal swords, it is difficult for monks in the human world to ascend, and immortals in the immortal world dare not come to the earth easily. Therefore, every generation of sword cultivators in Tianjian Mountain must guard this heavenly gate, guarding the entire
world."
Li Mingyue asked doubtfully: "How to say?"
The old man asked back: "What do you think ascension is? Or in your opinion, why have fewer and fewer people been able to ascend in the world for thousands of years? Is it really because these swords have hindered the ascension of monks in the world?"
Li Mingyue shook her head and said, "I don't know."
The old man said: "Of course not. The so-called ascension seems to be glorious, but in fact it brings the luck of the human world to the heaven. This makes the luck of the human world less and less. Nowadays, it is even harder to find monks who can ascend. Even saints have
According to inheritance, there is no comparison with the great weather three thousand years ago. The key is that there are no strong people in the human world, but the immortals in the immortal world can enter the human world at will, thus posing a threat to the entire human world. Therefore, as early as ten thousand years ago,
The only goal of the Sword Sect is to guard this heavenly gate. People below can go up, but the immortals above cannot come down."
Li Mingyue was shocked because this was the first time he heard these things.
The old man continued: "But in the three thousand years that the Taoists have been in charge of the human world, they have continuously consumed these swords. Now, there are only so many left. That's why Chen Daoling chose that way to ascend in order to temporarily cut off the relationship between the Taoists and the immortal world.
Inheritance.”
Li Mingyue asked at this time: "What does this have to do with me?"
The old man shook his head and said: "Although I am the ancestor of the Sword Sect, I am only a saint after all. The implications involved are naturally unclear, so why did Chen Daoling choose this time to ascend, and why did your mother leave Zhenwu Mountain and marry into
I don’t know why the Li family of the Tang Dynasty led the Taoists to take action, etc.”
Having said this, he waved his hand, and the Heavenly Gate disappeared out of thin air. He turned around and looked at Li Mingyue, and then said: "Although Chen Daoling is a disciple of the Sword Sect, his talent can be regarded as the best in tens of thousands of years. You
You may think that a saint is very powerful, but in his eyes, there is no difference between a saint and an ordinary person. However, such a person chooses you as his successor, and does not hesitate to cover up the secrets for you, so that no one can make deductions and predictions about you.
, it can be seen that there must be something in you that attracts his attention, and what it is specifically can only be found out when the law of heaven returns to normal operation."
Li Mingyue asked casually: "What about my senior sister?"
The old man said: "She can figure it out. In addition, the sword left not long ago and happened to go to Qingyuan Mountain. This is the best proof. Therefore, even if her predecessor is not the strange woman named Wang Xiu, she should be
It has a lot to do with Wang Xiu, but deducing this kind of thing has always been the specialty of Taoism. Tianjian Mountain can only rely on realm calculations and perceptions, so the details cannot be investigated. After all, even if it is Taoism, if you want to really make a clear calculation
, you have to pay a big price. In order to calculate your affairs, the Taoists have already paid a big price, so naturally they will not waste it on others."
Li Mingyue said in shock: "What price?"
The old man shook his head and said with a smile: "Only those old Taoists know this. This may be one of Chen Daoling's plans, and it can be regarded as a bonus for the Taoists."
Li Mingyue fell into thinking and finally asked after a while: "Is Chen Daoling... dead?"
