"What is this?" Ling Bufei wondered, "Iron for making swords?"
Shang Shaoyang was well-informed. He looked at it for a while and said, "It looks like refined Heavenly Black Iron. It is probably made of a special material that has prevented it from being corroded by the underworld."
Ling Bufei held it in his hand and weighed it, and that familiar feeling came again. He couldn't help but look down at his sword and murmured: "It's like my sword..."
Bai Mengjin heard what he said and reached out to take it.
She was also a swordsman in her previous life, and it was clear at first touch. Shang Shaoyang's judgment was correct. This should be an extra piece of sword-making material. It was very similar to Ling Bufei's sword, and most likely came from the same furnace.
Shang Shaoyang asked curiously: "Isn't the Master Ling holding the Killing Sword?"
The bet made at the spiritual conference that year spread widely because of Ling Bufei's rise.
This killing sword was forged by the Seven Killing Sword Lord, the old master of Danxia Palace. Cen Muliang originally planned to leave it to his beloved disciple Ning Yanzhi, but unexpectedly, Yuan Songqiao won the bet and became the natal sword of Master Ling.
Could this piece of iron be a relic of the Seven Sword Masters? How could it be left here?
"Have you ever been to the Underworld?" Ling Bufei wondered, "This material is very valuable. It has been soaked in the Underworld for so long and it still has some spirit. It should be well preserved."
The materials produced in one furnace are the best for repairing swords. If the killing sword becomes defective in the future, this piece of meteorite iron will come in handy.
This kind of thing should not be thrown away easily. Ling Bufei felt that if such an accident occurred, the Seven Sword Sword Masters would probably have encountered a critical situation.
Shang Shaoyang thought the same way and looked at Bai Mengjin: "Fairy Bai, what do you think?"
Bai Mengjin had many questions in her heart.
When she entered the profession in her previous life, the Seven Killing Sword Lord was no longer around. She had never met that master and only heard about his deeds from others.
The Seven Killing Sword Lord hated evil in his early years, but later he realized the holy heart and began to cultivate his moral character. However, in critical moments, he still stepped forward and killed the demon king who passed through the demon-sealing formation, and he was seriously injured as a result.
Later, he passed the position of head to Cen Muliang and passed away.
She didn't know whether he had been to Huangquan, but according to common sense, this piece of meteorite should be stored in Danxia Palace.
"The Seven Killing Sword Master's last battle was in Minghe. It's possible that he came to Huangquan at that time." She said slowly, "I think he might have been more seriously injured than what the outside world knew, and it's even possible that he was injured at that time.
Already on the verge of death."
Shang Shaoyang recalled: "I have an impression of that war. The Seven Killer Sword Lord has not appeared in front of people since then. He passed away within a few years. Some people say that he was infected by evil spirits and could not be eradicated, so he went to war on his own.
Got it."
The so-called Bingjie means that he was afraid that he would be controlled by the evil spirit, so he committed suicide.
Bai Mengjin has also heard of this statement, but she didn't take it to heart in her previous life. To her, the Seven Killing Sword Lord is a person who has passed away. It is a revered tablet placed in the Patriarch's Hall of Danxia Palace. There is no need to study it in detail.
Cause of his death.
Looking back now, I seem to have glimpsed some unknown secrets.
"Seven Killing Sword Lord is not possessed by demons, is he?" Ling Bufei said suddenly.
Shang Shaoyang broke into a cold sweat and replied intuitively: "No, how is it possible..."
After speaking, he gradually became silent.
Bai Meng is silent now.
To be honest, she knew very little about the master Seven Kills Sword Lord, which was why Cen Muliang rarely mentioned it. She had been in Danxia Palace for decades, and Cen Muliang had never told her in detail about the Seven Kills Sword Lord's deeds.
, occasionally a few words, and the topic quickly changed.
There are also Master Changling, Ye Hanyu and other senior uncles, but they have never mentioned it.
This is not consistent with common sense. The Seven Killing Sword Lord is a legendary figure after all. The outside world is spreading his deeds, but why is it so secretive within the sect?
"Even if he was really possessed by a demon, it doesn't matter." Ling Bufei said again, "Seven Killing Sword Lord is already dead. It shows that he took control in the end, and he is worthy of his fame for the rest of his life."
Shang Shaoyang nodded: "It is understandable that Danxia Palace concealed this matter. The Seven Killing Sword Lord has paid a lot for the world of immortality. It would be a shame if his reputation was damaged because he became a demon before his death.
"
The three of them said a few more words and then settled the matter.
Ling Bufei put away the meteorite, and after the four demons were cleared, the flying boat continued to move forward.
------------------
In the deacon's hall, Wen Rujin was explaining errands to You Yan when someone came from outside to report: "Elder Xu is here."
Xu Qingru? He is in charge of the Taoist Palace and has never paid much attention to foreign affairs. Today he is free to come to the Deacon Palace. Is there something important?
You Yan was very eye-catching and said immediately: "Master, I'm going to do something first."
Wen Rujin nodded: "After waiting for so many years, it's time for the young sect master to succeed to the throne. Please pay more attention to this matter, and if you need someone, call Lin Baiyu."
"Yes." You Yan smiled, "Junior brother Lin is now convinced of the young sect leader, and there must be nothing wrong with him."
Wen Rujin also laughed. When he appointed this young sect leader, it was just a temporary measure. At that time, no one thought that he would actually succeed to the throne. Who would have expected that step by step, he would take the throne today.
The expected return.
When Xu Qingru came in, he saw her face full of smiles and couldn't help but ask: "Why is Junior Sister Wen so happy?"
"What else could it be? We're talking about the succession ceremony." Wen Rujin saluted him, "Senior Brother Xu is always a busy man, so he took the time to come here today, but he has something important to do?"
Xu Qingru sat down with her and said, "It's not really important. I just found something and felt a little uneasy, so I came to talk to Junior Sister Wen."
"Oh?" Wen Rujin asked while pouring tea, "What is it?"
Xu Qingru took out a booklet from his sleeve and handed it to her.
Wen Rujin unfolded it and found that it was a handwritten letter from an ancestor of the sect.
Xu Qingru had already marked it, and Wen Rujin turned to the page and slowly looked over it. The smile on her face gradually faded and her expression became serious.
The Patriarch said that when he was traveling in the early years, he once met a boy with a body made of jade. His aptitude was very outstanding, but unfortunately he had been taken by someone and entered another immortal sect.
Many years later, this boy has indeed become the top monk in the world of cultivating immortals. He is the best choice regardless of his ability and cultivation. Everyone thinks that he must be the leader of the new generation.
However, things in the world are unpredictable. When the immortal king reached the top of the human world, he suddenly fell into a demon. Fortunately, the world of immortals was powerful at that time, and the incident was calmed down in time to avoid a disaster.
Wen Rujin was confused: "Isn't the jade-tempered body immune to demonic aura? How could this person become possessed by demons? And why is this matter not recorded in the sect's major events?"
Xu Qingru said: "After the last demon-sealing war, the world of immortality was in turmoil for a long time, and monsters sometimes counterattacked. Therefore, it has experienced several disasters, and there are also incomplete records of major events in the sect."
Wen Rujin nodded slowly: "Then this..."
"Also, the appearance of the Demon Sect confirms that the Faceless Men have already infiltrated into all the major sects. Who knows if they didn't deliberately erase the records and lower our vigilance..."
The point of this sentence was too clear. Wen Rujin's expression suddenly changed and she shouted: "Senior Brother Xu!"
