I saw the long-bearded monk floating from the jade slip to the ground.
His gaze swept across Qingrou and Wan'er, and finally settled on Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan's eyes met his.
The other party is Sword Cultivator.
The hearts of the two moved at the same time.
This is a spiritual sense in the dark. Although life and death are separated, real swordsmen will understand each other's identities if they look at each other.
The long-bearded monk nodded, confirming his judgment.
A trace of curiosity also rose in Gu Qingshan's heart.
"I don't know your honor and name?" Gu Qingshan asked with his fists clasped.
"Thousand Mountain Nights," said the long-bearded monk.
This name is so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere...
Gu Qingshan slowly recalled, and suddenly remembered the origin of this name.
This is a famous figure in the history of Guangyang Gate.
Even in this world, the name Qianshanye also represents a kind of legend.
Swords and swords, thousands of mountains and nights.
Thousands of years ago, world demons had not yet appeared in this world.
At that time, the sun, moon, stars, and even everything on the earth still existed in this world.
All kinds of geniuses and treasures in the practice world emerge in endlessly.
In a competition in which all sects participated, Qian Shanye of Guangyang Sect, with a knife and a sword in his hand, was proud of the audience, and no one could match him.
In that era, Guangyang Sect stood proudly at the top of all sects because of the existence of Qian Shanye.
Those were the most glorious years in the history of Guangyang Gate.
"You are the ninth generation head of our sect, Qian Shanye?" Gu Qingshan couldn't help asking.
Qian Shanye glanced at him and said, "It's me."
"Xia Qi Yan, the head of this generation of Zhanwei Hall, is here to pay respects to Sect Master Qian—but Sect Master Qian, why are you here?"
Gu Qingshan saluted and said in doubt.
Qian Shanye shook his head unconsciously, as if he couldn't bear to look back on the past.
He finally sighed and said: "One thousand and five hundred years ago, Wang Hongdao worshiped me as his teacher and practiced with me for three hundred years."
Wang Hongdao!
Gu Qingshan immediately became serious.
That's right, Qian Shanye is Wang Hongdao's master.
But Qian Shanye's soul is hidden here.
What happened
But I heard Qian Shanye continue: "During a competition, I accidentally killed a friend, and I was also seriously injured."
"At that time, I blamed myself deeply for this, and my mind was in a mess. As my most valued disciple, Wang Hongdao suddenly attacked me while taking care of my wounds."
"I was unwilling to die, so I relied on the secret method and entrusted it to this sword formula jade slip."
Gu Qingshan wondered: "I don't know how majestic it is to be your apprentice, why did Wang Hongdao sneak attack you while you were recuperating?"
"Because I only taught him sword skills, not sword skills." Qian Shanye said.
"I remembered," Qingrou squeezed Gu Qingshan's hand quietly, and said softly: "Back then, Sect Master Qian was known as the sword master, the number one monk in the world."
"As long as the monks of the sect in the world can learn one or two sword skills of the Qianzong sect, they can go all over the world."
"If anyone can learn the swordsmanship of Master Qian, it will be even more terrible. He will definitely be a great monk who is unparalleled in the world."
"Sect Master Qian disappeared from the world after a sparring with monks of the same rank, and has never appeared since then."
"The practice community agrees that Sect Master Qian accidentally killed his friend, and felt ashamed, so he set off to the void to explore other worlds."
Gu Qingshan's thoughts changed, and he took the words: "Because Wang Hong didn't pass on the sword skills, he was resentful, and wanted to take the opportunity to kill you and take away your secret sword art, is that so?"
Qian Shanye nodded, with deep regret in his eyes.
"Actually, with his heart, sword skills should not be taught to him." Qian Shanye said.
"His heart? Why shouldn't he teach sword skills?" Gu Qingshan asked.
Now is a good opportunity to get to know Wang Hongdao.
This Supreme Elder of Guangyang Sect actually killed his master back then.
Finding out about this matter will help you understand Wang Hongdao's character and behavior style.
There is no harm in knowing more about the enemy.
Qian Shanye said: "The way of the sword is only powerful."
Gu Qingshan nodded.
Among the swordsmen I had met before, Ning Yuechan also said similar things.
"Martyrdom with the sword, never going forward."
——Ning Yuechan is an expert at using knives. Her mind is pure and her knives are very real. She has improved very quickly.
Gu Qingshan actually likes dealing with swordsmen.
Because people who use knives are mostly people with pride and sincerity.
Such a person is simple and pure, and there is nothing to say about being friends.
Of course, not a monk who uses a knife is qualified to be called a swordsman.
It's not like holding a sword in your hand can be counted as a sword repair.
Qian Shanye sighed: "Wang Hongdao is too thoughtful, greedy for life and afraid of death, so he is not suitable for using a knife. I also think that he is my big disciple. He has been with me for hundreds of years and has always been loyal to me. Keeping him around—who knows I made a big mistake because of it."
Gu Qingshan sighed: "Your Excellency is a talented person, I believe that with your eyes, it is not easy to make mistakes when looking at people."
"It's difficult for a person to pretend for a year, two years, even decades, but Wang Hongdao followed me, he was diligent and loyal, he was fair and sincere, and he didn't have the pretensions of a head disciple. , there hasn't been any flaws in three hundred years." Qian Shanye said.
Wan'er and Qingrou looked at each other, feeling a little chill in their hearts.
A person, in order to achieve his own purpose, pretended for three hundred years.
For three hundred years, his words and deeds have never aroused suspicion.
What kind of heart, what kind of character, can do such a thing.
"Master Qian, why don't we take you out and tell the world?" Wan'er couldn't help but said.
"It doesn't make any sense." Qian Shanye shook his head.
"Yes, Wang Hongdao is still the strongest monk in the entire sect. Even if someone knows the truth, they will only be more afraid of him." Qing Ju said.
"Besides, this world is coming to an end, everyone is in danger, so how can you care about other people's affairs." Gu Qingshan also sighed.
He cupped his fists and said, "Master Qian, what do you want me to do?"
"I feel the sword intent on your body, and you haven't learned any Guangyangmen techniques, am I right?"
"Yes." Gu Qingshan admitted.
"Wang Hongdao doesn't know swordsmanship, but is good at swordsmanship and corpse tricks, so he won't have an apprentice like you who specializes in swordsmanship."
"Yes, I am not his apprentice."
"This is Wang Hongdao's territory, and even the head of this generation cannot enter this place."
"The fact that you are able to enter here at such a young age is clearly due to changes in the outside world that I don't know about."
"Exactly." Gu Qingshan admitted.
"Then, I want to make a deal with you."
Qian Shanye said, with a look of determination on his face.
"Please say."
"The jade slip I'm on contains a powerful sword art. Wang Hongdao always wanted to learn it when he was still practicing swords, but I didn't think he was suitable for learning swords. Because of his loyalty."
"So you never taught him sword skills."
"Yes, the knife skills have not been fully taught to him."
"Then what?"
"When I was assassinated by him, I knew that I was going to die, so I launched a restraint and destroyed all the jade slips of sword secrets."
Qian Shanye pointed to the jade slip in Shan Nu's hand, and said, "I only left this jade slip of sword formula as a trap."
"trap?"
"Yes, my soul is attached to this jade slip. If anyone reaches out to touch this jade slip, I will definitely seize it."
Gu Qingshan secretly said that it is true.
