In the ruins of the ancient palace, Xiao Chen drank by himself, not knowing what he was thinking.
Liu Ruyue's face was equally ugly, and she was still angry with Xiao Chen, angry that he was still lying to her even though he had something unspeakable to hide.
The two of them stood with their backs to each other, saying nothing, and the atmosphere was silent.
Kaka!
In the ruins, Lu Benwei stepped on the debris and appeared in front of the two of them.
Liu Ruyue floated lightly, came to Lu Benwei's side, and asked: "Brother, how is Master's injury?"
"It's okay, it's just some old problems. Junior sister, there's no need to worry."
Liu Ruyue nodded slightly, said goodbye and left, unwilling to stay any longer.
Xiao Chen stood up, walked towards Lu Benwei, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, Brother Lu, I was impulsive beforehand."
It has always been like this, wrong is wrong and right is right.
In the past, he was too persistent and impulsive, which made Senior Ximu, who was kind to him, vomit blood. No matter what, he could not get over it.
Think about it, I was in the Ice and Fire Wasteland at that time, if not for the fate, I would realize that all things are happy.
He might have been killed by a mastiff a long time ago. With such a favor, it is really impossible to show off his skills in front of Senior Xi Mu.
Lu Benwei patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder and said, "Come with me, I'll tell you a story."
Whoosh whoosh!
Xiao Chen followed Lu Benwei, tapped his toes, and soared all the way to a cliff, where he sat and watched the rise and fall of the sea of clouds.
Here, the clouds are like fog, and it is vast. In the blink of an eye, you can see the boundless sea of fog.
Looking at the sea from the cliff, people sitting on the edge of the cliff feel like they are in the sky or at the seaside. It is so wonderful.
Lu Benwei took out a pot of wine and muttered: "Once upon a time, there was a man who lived in a family of swordsmen that had been passed down for thousands of years. His father and grandfather had been swordsmen for generations. When he was three years old, he learned swordsmanship and showed his extraordinary talent. Despite the expectations of his family, no one knew that his real love was the sword. When he was twelve years old, he was forced to leave home to practice swordsmanship. Facts have proved that his choice was not wrong. "
"He has a handsome face and can be called a monster, but his talent in swordsmanship is even more monsterous. He is called the Monster Sword. He became an emperor before he was a hundred years old. His swordsmanship is unique. Many seniors are not as knowledgeable in swordsmanship. They all think that he will be a great swordsman and have a bright future."
"But he left home when he was young and was obsessed with swordsmanship, but he never learned how to behave in the world. His personality has always been like that of a twelve-year-old child. He is proud and stubborn at heart. He likes to listen to people's praises and can't stand external stimulation. Even if To become an emperor, you still have the heart of a glass girl.”
"It's actually nothing. Most sword masters like him very much, and many swordsmen also praise him without hesitation..."
Xiao Chen listened on the side and already knew that Lu Benwei was talking about Yao Dao Xi Mu.
This Xi Mu actually comes from a family of swordsmen...
Since ancient times, there has been a sword fight, although there is no strong or weak distinction between the two. But people who practice martial arts are competitive and always want to compete.
The family of swordsmen is a family of swordsmen that has been passed down for thousands of years. It obviously takes swords very seriously.
Without dedication to kendo, deep love for kendo, and an atmosphere where the sword is supreme, a kendo family would not be able to pass on the legacy for more than ten thousand years.
In such a family where swords are revered, it is extremely treasonous for a prince to suddenly appear and learn swordsmanship.
You can imagine what kind of ridicule and difficulties you will encounter.
Therefore, Ximu ran away from home when she was twelve years old, leaving a kendo family that has been passed down for thousands of years.
But something happened later.
Lu Benwei paused for a long time before continuing: "With his pride, stubbornness, and glass heart, it was nothing. But after he became an emperor, he returned to his family, thinking about his achievements, You can also prove yourself in front of your father and family.”
Xiao Chen thought to himself, it's quite normal, everyone has a desire to prove themselves. At first, you all didn't want me to practice swordsmanship and made things difficult for me and laughed at me. Now I'm back with all my glory.
"But... he met a swordsman who had never been seen in the family for thousands of years. He was his cousin even if he was related by blood. Although his cultivation level was not as good as his, he cut off the sword in his hand with a three-foot long sword. In front of the family Elder, I was defeated in embarrassment in front of my father and grandfather.”
Xiao Chen was startled when he heard this. Just thinking about it, he knew how embarrassed Xi Mu was at that time.
I originally thought that I would come back and prove that I was right, but I didn't expect that I would come back and prove that I was wrong. The sword in his hand was also broken by someone whose cultivation level was weaker than his own, which was a fatal humiliation for Xi Mu, who wanted to appear holy in front of others.
It can be imagined that those tribesmen who looked at him at that time must have sneered and disdain on their faces.
"There's no need to feel embarrassed. Just practice hard and fight back one day."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he said softly, his words full of pride and perseverance.
"Yes, that person also thought like you. A temporary setback was nothing. But at this time, something happened. A weirdo with a knife suddenly appeared in the world. He came out of nowhere. , appeared suddenly in the central world with superb sword skills, and soon rose like a comet, causing a storm among swordsmen. This is a junior who is more talented than his master. The technique is so dazzling and breathtaking..."
When mentioning this person, a trace of sadness flashed in Lu Benwei's eyes. He no longer called Ximu by his pseudonym, but gave the answer directly.
"This strange person who suddenly appeared was more talented than the master. When it reached the ears of the master, the master was naturally dissatisfied. He immediately fought with him, and he lost after a hundred moves. After that, they fought nine times in total, and each time he was defeated more and more. People are desperate. The last time, Master became a virtual god and wanted to fight again, but he was defeated before the sword was released. "
Lu Benwei said in a deep voice: "Later, everyone found out that the man came out of the place of exile. He called himself Panhuang. He always had a smile that could melt ice and snow on his face. He was also called the Spring Snow Swordsman. You know this How strong are people?"
"Nowadays, this person will not be included in the ranking of strong swordsmen. My master is the nominal number one. It is meaningless. On the road of swordsmanship, this person has gone too far..."
Panhuang!
Xiao Chen was shocked. Unexpectedly, he heard the legend of Panhuang from Lu Benwei again. He wanted to say that he and Panhuang came from the same place of exile.
But after thinking about it, he still restrained himself from saying anything.
"This Haruyuki swordsman has dealt a greater blow to the master than his cousin. After a defeat, he has no intention of returning to the family again..."
Xiao Chen wondered: "Who is his cousin?"
Lu Benwei sneered and said: "His cousin is amazing. Su Hanshan is now the number one swordsman. The Su family of the Yanwu Dynasty is a transcendent family famous for its swords."
Xiao Chen was silent after hearing this, thinking about Senior Xi Mu. He is really helpless and arrogant by nature, but the two biggest enemies he encounters are one who is the best in swordsmanship and the other who is the best in swordsmanship.
No wonder he looks so old, gloomy and has a weird temper.
"So, you don't actually need to apologize to Master. Master just has this weird temper. Just don't mind. You look like you are a lot older, but in fact you have a glass girl's heart, and you don't want to admit that your talent is better than him." . But I cherish your talent and can’t bear to bury your talent, so I ordered you to send you the inheritance scroll. He is a very contradictory and entangled person... "
When Xiao Chen heard this, he was stunned and finally understood everything.
After staying for a long time, Xiao Chen smiled sadly and said: "I had known this... If I had lost to the statue of the senior, I probably wouldn't have had so many things happen to me."
Lu Benwei smiled and said: "It's really possible."
"What should we do now?"
"Let me find a place for you to stay first. Just practice with my junior sister and me these days. Don't care too much about the status of master and disciple. According to Master's temper, I will definitely not accept you anymore, but you can't If you don't leave, he won't chase you away."
When Lu Benwei said this, he remembered something and said in a deep voice: "By the way, before I left, I heard Master talking to himself. It may be of some help to your problem. How can a drop of water shatter the sky? Because there is no Only with respect can one have the possibility of shattering the sky; only with an unyielding heart that can endure ten thousand years of loneliness can one have the opportunity to shatter the sky; only with an unchanging original intention, a drop of water can turn into an endless sky... "
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, and he felt suddenly enlightened. The fog of the second inheritance picture was gradually dispersed.
After listening, Xiao Chen muttered a few words to himself, quickly took out the scroll and looked at it carefully.
Unknowingly, my whole mind was immersed in the painting and I forgot about everything.
Lu Benwei was on the side, drinking quietly without disturbing him. I felt a little envious in my heart. No wonder the master couldn't bear to bury his talent. I had been looking at this second scroll for more than ten years before I could understand it a little bit. I almost got stuck in it and couldn't get out.
Since then, the master has given up on letting me continue to learn the inheritance of the demon sword. It is harmful rather than beneficial...
But now, Xiao Chen, the master just said a few words, and it seemed as if he understood everything new.
