Chapter 620 Nine-Armed Sword God
Lu Ye laughed.
"Master, since you want to thank me, just take this as a thank you gift!"
"We got attached to this thing at the beginning."
"Today I This thing is very good at settling the cause and effect.”
The object in his palm, this jade slip, is the Immortal Spirit Sutra.
When Lu Ye achieved the golden elixir at Jinsha Gate, old man Sha Yu held a golden elixir ceremony for him, and various sects sent congratulatory gifts.
Among them, Shang Tianti, on behalf of Lingyun Sect, sent this scripture. At that time, it was still a fragmentary copy, with only the first volume.
Later, Lu Ye assisted the Lingyun Sect as an elder of the Gushan Sect, and the Lingyun Sect released the second volume.
The Lingyun Sect claimed that they only obtained two volumes and did not obtain the complete Immovable and Immortal Spiritual Sutra.
Since Lu Ye arrived here a few days ago, he has driven A Chou to kill demons, swallowed pills to restore mana, met with leaders of various factions, and learned about the distribution of demons and demons. He has been extremely busy every day.
But no matter how busy he is, he will always remember one thing.
Then how did I escape from the river of time and space?
And why did you escape back to the present world?
Based on Old Man Wuxin’s notes and Lu Ye’s own experience of traveling in and out of time and space twice.
When he goes to a place in time and space, there must be an anchor point in the sky, like a lighthouse guiding the way.
The iron anchor formed by his Immortal Spiritual Sutra can anchor the time and space in that place so that people can pass through it.
In other words, there must be a target before his arrow can hit it.
If there is no bullseye and he shoots randomly, there is no chance of hitting the arrow.
Then the question comes.
In ancient times, Shang Tianti was his anchor.
Who in the world can serve as his anchor?
At the beginning, the sundial mark hit five people in total, including True Lord Red Dragon, Shang Tianti, Mo Ruyan, Thousand-faced Judge and himself.
The five people either died or fell into the long river of time and space, disappearing from reality.
He really couldn’t think of anyone or anything else that could serve as an anchor in this reality?
If that anchor really existed, why did he end up in Lingyun Sect?
You must know that although he is familiar with Monk Tianti, he has never set foot in Lingyun Sect.
Then he happened to land near Lingyun Sect and not somewhere else. There must be a reason for this, but he hasn't realized it yet.
He just came to Lingyun Sect a few days ago. There were so many things going on that he couldn't think of a clue.
However, this question remained in his mind.
In a few days, relying on a large amount of top-quality elixirs to replenish his mana and consciousness, he had returned to his peak state.
Practice the Immortal Spiritual Sutra every day. Yesterday, he finally felt that there seemed to be something in Lingyun Sect, which faintly sent out fluctuations in time and space, echoing the Immortal Spiritual Sutra.
When he calmed down and silently used his spiritual sense to scan the top of Lingyun Mountain almost inch by inch, he finally confirmed that this object was in the treasury.
That’s why Master Ling Yun was asked to accompany him into the treasury on this day.
Finally he found the anchor, which turned out to be the jade slip of the martial arts that recorded the Immortal Spiritual Sutra.
Lu Ye was holding the jade slip at this moment, and his spiritual consciousness had already entered it.
When the Lingyun Sect was teaching its martial arts, he had seen this jade slip before and found nothing wrong with it.
Now that his skill has greatly improved, he discovered that there is a time seed hidden in the jade slip after careful inspection.
To practice the Immortal Spiritual Sutra, the first step is to condense the seeds of time.
It is this first step that has stumped countless geniuses, which is why the Immortal Spiritual Sutra was shelved on the shelf. It was even not cherished by the Lingyun Sect as a gift and given away everywhere.
Lu Ye carefully felt the mana breath in the time seeds.
It is a pity that this kind of seed was left behind for unknown years. It is as dim as a flame and extremely fragile. It seems that it will be extinguished at any time, and it is impossible to capture the magical energy contained in it.
If it is extracted forcibly, the entire time seed may be destroyed.
Even if Lu Yexiao wanted to input mana to make it stronger, he couldn't do it because it was too fragile.
Lu Ye carefully collected the jade slip, placed it in a jade box, and sealed it heavily on the outside.
The time seeds in this jade slip of the martial arts are the guiding light for him to return home.
He will cherish and protect it like his own eyes.
The reason is simple.
Lu Ye’s mind left his body and he looked above his body.
I saw a sundial mark the size of a millstone above my head, shining brightly.
The shadow of the sundial needle on the dial is slowly turning upside down.
Yes, this damn expulsion curse actually revived as his mana recovered.
It’s just that its light is much dimmer than the first attack.
In other words, Lu Ye estimated that he was very likely to be expelled into the long river of time and space again when the sundial needle above his head returned to its original state, and fell into the unknown space-time gap.
The time seeds in this jade slip are his only anchor in this world.
If this thing is destroyed, he will most likely become a lonely wandering soul in the long river of time and space, never being able to return to the present world.
Lu Ye put away the jade slips of the exercises, as if he had put down a huge stone in his heart, with a smile on his face.
Master Ling Yun was waiting carefully at the side. Seeing the True Monarch of Transformation God, he was in a good mood for some reason, and he also breathed a long sigh of relief.
"True Lord," he remembered something, so he said carefully, "Today is a good and auspicious day, and the spiritual tablets and portraits of my disciples have been enshrined in the hall."
"Can you Want to take a look? ”
This matter was personally assigned by Lu Ye.
Master Ling Yun must of course handle matters that matter to Lord True Lord as quickly as possible. Now that the matter is done, it is also appropriate to report to Lord True Lord carefully.
Sure enough, Lu Ye became interested.
"Okay, then I'll be in trouble!"
The two of them fled all the way and entered the Lingyun Sect's hall where the ancestors of the past generations are enshrined.
But on the altar table in the middle, spiritual tablets were distributed one after another from top to bottom like a hill.
In addition, there are portraits and artifacts of the ancestors of the past dynasties on both sides of the wall. They are sitting or standing in them, practicing swords, making talismans, or refining alchemy, which are lifelike, just like they were alive.
The spiritual tablet of Shang Tianti is placed at the bottom, and there is an empty seat above it. When Master Ling Yun passes away, he will occupy that position.
In addition, there is a portrait of Shang Tianti hanging on the wall. In the portrait, he is young, handsome, and elegant, with his left arm still intact and carrying the Lingyun Sword on his back.
Because it was Master Zhenjun who handed over the matter, Lu Ye could tell that Lingyun Sect had put a lot of thought into it. For example, the spiritual tablets of Shang Tianti were made of fine dark wood and painted with gold paint.
In terms of manufacturing specifications and volume of the spiritual tablets, they are almost comparable to the founder of the Lingyun Sect, and far exceed those of previous leaders.
As for the portrait, the magic weapon Jiang Shang Tianti was painted with an upright and graceful demeanor.
From the perspective of artistic conception.
This painting must be made by someone who is very familiar with and admires him, or even is obsessed with him.
Master Ling Yun saw Lu Ye standing in front of the painting and staring at it for a long time, and explained in a low voice that this was painted by Qi Fangfang.
Lu Ye shook his head.
From this painting, we can vaguely see Qi Fangfang’s love for Shang Tianti.
Unfortunately, the two of them were not meant to be together, and he was unwilling to guess what the story behind them was.
Perhaps Qi Fangfang could not withstand the pressure of her great-grandfather Qi Zhentao and was forced to commit herself to others. By the time Shang Tianlai came back, the raw rice had turned into cooked rice and was irreversible.
Maybe Qi Fangfang gave up easily.
But none of this matters.
He stood in front of Shang Tianti's portrait and the magical instrument, pondered for a long time, and suddenly stretched out his hand to touch it. The young and high-spirited Shang Tianti was erased from the painting, and instead a middle-aged elegant man appeared, with frosty temples and wrinkles on his forehead. His eyes were fixedly looking forward, filled with sadness.
He is slightly hunched, wearing a white Taoist robe. His left arm is a mechanism puppet arm, and eight other mechanism arms are exposed under his shoulders and ribs.
Master Ling Yun was puzzled. He looked carefully and found that the person in the portrait did indeed look like Shang Tianti, but he looked like Shang Tianti in his middle age. Come.
When did my traitor become like this?
Lu Ye looked uninterested, obviously unwilling to answer, but turned to leave.
Just as he was about to walk out of the palace gate, Lu Ye suddenly stopped.
A portrait appeared in front of his eyes, which was the portrait of the Nine-Armed Sword God, the founder of the Lingyun Sect.
This patriarch has a short neck, a thick waist, a face full of flesh, and a short and wide knife on his waist, like a butcher.
Lu Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the original version of the Nine-Armed Sword God and Monk’s Ladder has nothing to do with it.
I think too much.
In ancient times, he casually opened his mouth and said the Nine-Armed Sword God, but he just happened to collide with the official founder of the Lingyun Sect.
Lu Ye seemed to ask casually, I would like to ask Master Ling Yun, why is the founder of your family a sect who uses swords but not swords? Why is the name of the dharma called the Nine-Armed Sword God?
Master Ling Yun quickly replied respectfully.
True Lord, you don’t know something. My ancestor was a butcher, and later accidentally embarked on the path of cultivating immortals and became a casual cultivator.
Later, a jade slip was found in a ruins, which was the inheritance of Lingyun Sect, an ancient sect that disappeared in the long river of history. He learned from it that the name of its ancestor was the Nine-Armed Sword God, so he changed it to He took his own dharma title and established the Lingyun Sect's orthodoxy to show that he would not forget his roots.
Actually, he is good at using swords and knows nothing about swordsmanship.
Lu Ye stayed in place, suddenly feeling cold all over his body, as if there was an invisible big hand arranging everything.
The establishment of Lingyun Sect was his own suggestion.
As for the Nine-Armed Sword God, he was joking in a low mood when he saw that Shang Tianti only had one arm.
The jade slips of the martial arts obtained by the Lingyun Sect’s founder now record the Lingyun Sect that disappeared in history and the nine-armed sword god who founded the sect, which was founded by his monk Tianti. A grass-roots team?
Lu Ye shuddered all over and did not dare to think deeply.
He asked Master Lingyun whether the jade slips of the martial arts found in the ruins by his ancestors were still there?
If the jade slips are still there, with the skills in them, how can we still find the traces of the skills he originally taught, right?
Maybe it even contains information about his monk’s ladder to heaven?
Master Ling Yun shook his head regretfully.
It’s gone, it’s all gone.
After the founder of the Lingyun Sect, the sect experienced three ups and downs and three major disasters in its history.
The disciples are almost gone, and the inheritance of the skills is almost cut off, but they still survive every time.
The oldest jade slip of martial arts, the source of all inheritance has long since disappeared.
Even the Lingyun Sect’s current internal martial arts may not have some shadow of the original inheritance.
Lu Ye nodded regretfully. It seemed that he was destined to not find the answer here.
But no matter what, if you figure out the answer, can you keep your Taoist mind?
Lu Ye had no interest in staying in the hall anymore and turned around to leave. Master Ling Yun kept him company carefully.
As soon as I walked out of the palace gate, there was a figure waiting there, it was Qi Fangfang.
"Senior brother... no, Senior Lu..." Qi Fangfang said in fear, but also felt that the senior brother was inappropriate, so she hurriedly changed her words.
Lu Ye waved his hand to Master Ling Yun, and Master Ling Yun retreated.
He glanced up and down at Qi Fangfang.
For him, after passing through the Mozhu Secret Realm and the ancient times, it was actually more than a hundred years before he met Qi Fangfang.
For Qi Fangfang, the two have only not seen each other for decades.
Qi Fangfang is now dressed as a middle-aged woman.
But because he is a monk, his face is like peach and plum, and his eyes are like autumn water. He does not look old, but his eyes are filled with the vicissitudes of life. Now standing in front of Lu Ye, he is even more hesitant.
"What's the matter with you?" Lu Ye asked lightly.
There is no cause and effect between him and Qi Fangfang.
Although the two came from the same school and both worshiped Xiao Huanxi as their teacher, they did not have a deep friendship.
When they escaped from Xuanmo Gate together, Lu Ye once saved her life, but it can also be said that they supported each other.
Lu Ye also presented him with a spiritual flower that could heal the scars on his face, in exchange for giving several sworn brothers the opportunity to join the righteous sect and wash away the marks of their demonic origins.
Qi Fangfang took care of things, but not everything.
Wang Hu, Zhang Cunyi and Shu Chitu were finally introduced to the Gushan Sect. The three of them were ostracized in the sect, and in the end they had to spend a large sum of spiritual stones to become disciples of Elder Tiegong.
On the contrary, there were many disputes between Qi Fangfang and Shang Tianti. After all, the two had been Taoist companions, and Qi Fangfang had an unrequited love for Shang Tianti.
Later, Shang Tianti disappeared and was suspected to have died. When he returned, Qi Fangfang was already in the room of the junior disciple of the next generation leader. Shang Tianti ran away in anger.
It is difficult to tell what is right and wrong here. It is said that it is the will of his grandfather Qi Zhentao.
It’s hard to say how much friendship Shang Tianti has for Qi Fangfang. Does he like her as a person, or does he value the Fulong spiritual root in her more?
Did he break out because his love was taken away, or did he feel that he had lost face and had no hope of becoming the leader?
Even in ancient times, Shang Tianti never mentioned Qi Fangfang.
Lu Ye learned from Master Ling Yun that Qi Zhentao had died in a battle with the demon clan decades ago.
I also learned that since Taoist Qi Fangfang died at the hands of Shang Tianti, she has been alone and has never partnered with anyone else.
Now that Qi Zhentao is dead, one less person knows about their affair.
Qi Fangfang bowed to Lu Ye.
"The junior dared to disturb the senior."
"He, where did he die?"
She choked and lowered her head.
“Or is there something he left behind in the senior’s body?”
"This junior also wants to leave a thought."
Lu Ye sighed after hearing this.
You ask me, who should I ask?
How do I know whether Shang Tianti died or died?
As for the things on his body, how could I have them?
But based on Qi Fangfang's words, at least there is one person who really cares about Shang Tianti.
Lao Shang, are you lucky or unlucky?
Wait a minute, this old boy seems to have taken action against Shang Ling'er. There are really rotten peach blossoms wherever he goes.
“Junior sister,” because Qi Fangfang still had feelings for Shang Tianti, Lu Ye looked at Lao Shang’s face and his words were a little gentler.
“The deceased has passed away, so do not think about him often.”
"You can take care of yourself. As for his belongings, there is really one thing..."
Lu Ye made a move from his hand and gained a magic sword.
The word "Ling Xiao" is engraved on the hilt of the sword.
This was originally a gift that Lu Ye refined during his travels and prepared to celebrate Shang Tianti's achievement of Nascent Soul.
In this way, it is probably not a lie, right?
