The Gift of the First Generation Sword

Chapter 167 The gift of the first sword head (two in one)

When walking out from the Sword Cottage Hall.

Mo Qingshan's words still echoed in Jiangnan's mind.

——The amount of information is too large.

Although it was designed to kill the shepherd, it was a situation set up by Emperor Xiyuan and Da Xiuyi.

But the crucial last sword was cut by Jiangnan.

In other words, except for the Jiangnan where all Taoism comes from Qingdeng, no one in today's humanity can really kill the shepherd.

It doesn't work if one product is supreme.

And the demise of the shepherd caused the seal to loosen.

As a result, the heaven and earth of Shangyuan World reopened, the aura was reversed, ancient beings were revived, and a rare genius born in a thousand years was born.

Thinking about it this way, the coming glorious and chaotic world was really led by Jiang Nan.

It's just... no one will care.

Don't say that most people in the world don't know the inside story.

Even those ancient beings knew that it was Jiangnan who brought them back to life.

It is estimated that there will be no waves in his heart.

If one day, Jiangnan will stand against those old monsters and draw their swords against each other.

When they swung their knives, they never hesitated.

After all, what most people fear can only be strength and power.

Rather than grace and virtue.

Jiang Nan knew this very well, so his heart quickly calmed down.

But when he was walking out of the hall, Mo Yizhen had been waiting outside the hall.

Seeing Jiangnan coming out, she said: "Mr. Jiang, a resting place has been prepared for you in the gate, and Yizhen will take you there."

Ever since Jiangnan "guided" her to comprehend Taishang's ruthless sword intent, this girl has always treated Jiangnan with courtesy and respect.

Even today's Jiangnan can feel a trace of incense in her body.

You must know that only pure dependence and reverence can produce incense.

Even when Jiangnan was crowned king, he was praised by countless people in the capital, but there was never a ray of incense.

In this way, it is enough to see Jiangnan's position in Mo Yizhen's heart.

Half an hour later, the two of them arrived at the sword peak belonging to the south of the Yangtze River.

This peak already belonged to him when he was granted the sword head of Jianlu.

It's just that at that time, because the peak had not been repaired, it was uninhabitable.

Now more than a year has passed, but this place has already been taken care of in an orderly manner.

It also renamed it——Jian Shou Peak.

It is located on the side of the main peak of Jianlu, rising from the abyss.

There are misty clouds and mists on the mountainside, which is very magical.

Mo Yizhen led Jiangnan to the front of the peak, then said goodbye and prepared to leave.

But Jiang Nan found that there was a trace of hesitation and hesitation in the girl's eyes.

She was inexperienced, but her emotional changes were all written on her face.

Naturally, it is not difficult to see.

Seeing this, Jiang Nan couldn't help laughing, "Yizhen, just tell me what you have, we know each other so well, there is no need to be embarrassed."

Hearing this, the girl lowered her head and said, "Mr. Jiang, are you free tomorrow?"

Jiang Nan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded immediately.

When he returned to Jianlu this time, he planned to wait for the court to figure out the problems in Jiangzhou before going there.

Therefore, it should be able to stay for a long time.

"Yizhen is going down the mountain tomorrow. If you are free, sir, I would like to invite you to go with me." Mo Yizhen whispered.

Hearing this, Jiang Nan couldn't help being stunned for a while.

Originally, he thought that Mo Yizhen wanted him to teach swordsmanship or something.

After all, this girl's mind has always been only that cold and hard guy...

But unexpectedly, Mo Yizhen asked Jiang Nan to go down the mountain with her?
Seeing Jiangnan's slightly weird expression, the girl blushed abruptly, and hurriedly explained,

"Sir, Yizhen has already broken through the fourth rank. Dad said that it is difficult to increase his cultivation level after a long period of hard work. To make the Taishang Ruthless Sword Intent go further, he still needs to go through the experience of the world."

"But Yizhen and the brothers and sisters lack secular experience, and the elders and deacons are busy with affairs, so I want to invite my husband to go with Yizhen."

Jiangnan: "..."

I thought this girl had a clue.

In the end, the damn thing was still for cultivation...

He looked at Mo Yizhen who was at a loss, and smiled, "It's okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."

"Thank you sir, Yizhen will visit again tomorrow." The girl with flushed cheeks was relieved and left hastily.

Jiang Nan also turned around and looked at his new home.

Above Jianshou Peak, there was a tranquility.

Among the verdant ancient trees, there is a small path leading directly to a small courtyard on the top of the mountain.

Around the yard, a flower garden was cultivated by the sword cottage, inhabited by various flowers and trees. Occasionally, two flower sparrows landed on it, chirping non-stop.

Entering the small courtyard, the furnishings have inherited the familiar style of Jian Hut, but the walls and floors are cleaned spotlessly, extremely tidy.

In addition to the bedroom, dining room, latrine, and hall in the small courtyard, there is also a quiet room dedicated to practice, and an extremely complicated spirit-gathering formation is depicted on the ground.

Among them, the aura is extremely abundant, almost so thick that it condenses into mist.

And the cost of this spirit gathering array is extremely expensive at first glance.

From this, it can be seen that Jian Hut has a heart.

It's a pity that Jiangnan can't use this thing...

After turning twice at his own peak, Jiang Nan didn't wait much.

He left Jianshou Peak and headed towards Jianzhong.

Earlier, he had already told Mo Qingshan that when he came back from this trip, he would enter the Sword Tomb.

And because of his identity as the head of the sword, this request was naturally approved by Mo Qingshan.

He didn't even ask why Jiangnan wanted to enter the Sword Tomb.

After all, in a sense, the Sword Cottage is still prosperous today, and Jiangnan prevented the recovery of the first generation of Jianshou in the first place, which is also a major reason.

Walking to the entrance of the sword mound, the guarding deacon let him go after verifying his identity.

Originally, Jiangnan planned to come a few days later.

But Mo Yizhen suddenly asked Jiang Nan to go down the mountain with her, which disrupted the plan.

After entering the Sword Hut, the scene is still the same as last time.

The earth is pitch black, the sky is blood red, there is no vegetation, no birds and beasts, no insects.

The ferocious and barren land is full of rotten swords.

Jiang Nan took a deep breath, and a burning smell of rust rushed into his chest.

It's all too familiar.

The last time he came in, he had just traveled to Shangyuan, and he was still full of puzzlement and curiosity about this bizarre world.

At that time, his identity was just an unknown little person among all living beings.

But a year later, it was very different.

For more than a year, Jiangnan seemed to be collecting titles, and his name resounded through most of Shangyuan.

Even the upcoming glorious world was guided by him.

After this scene, re-entering Jianzhong and revisiting the old place, I can't help feeling a lot.

And the purpose of his trip was to commemorate Mo You, who lived in the Iron Beast Tribe ten thousand years ago.

That pure and happy genius boy who is good at barbecue.

After being led into the Dao of Kendo by Jiangnan, he made a great achievement.

In the end, he was buried desolately in the land at the foot of Jiangnan.

In Jiangnan's memory, the two met only half a year ago.

But in fact, thousands of years have passed.

For a moment, Jiang Nan couldn't help but think that if he hadn't gone to the Tomb of the Immortals in the Eastern Realm, Mo You would not have embarked on the way of swordsmanship because of his encounter.

Will he be born, old, sick, and die, an ordinary life?
Perhaps the Sword Cottage would not exist either.

However, no if.

Once things happen in the world, it is a foregone conclusion.

After wandering around for a couple of times, Jiangnan found a place to sit down, and took out firewood and animal meat from Hutian space.

Set up a bonfire and roasted it.

While the flames were rising, the fat of the lean meat sizzled, exuding a tempting aroma.

Just like ten thousand years ago, Mo You, who was still a young man, lit a fire and barbecued meat in order to repay Jiangnan's life-saving grace.

He still remembers that simple boy, but it's a pity that everything has changed in the past.

Looking at the surging flames, Jiangnan muttered to himself,

"Should I call you Mo You, or senior?"

"Why don't we talk about each other, you call me a fairy, and I call you a senior?"

No one responded.

But that's how it should be
After all, that brilliant young man had already been buried in the long years.

And this scene was also seen by the guarding deacon.

Since the accident happened in Jianzhong more than a year ago, Jianhu specially arranged people to monitor every movement in Jianzhong through formation.

So Jiangnan ran into Jianzhong with great fanfare, seemingly only for the barbecue, which left the two deacons dumbfounded.

Looking at Jiangnan who was having a barbecue in the illusory water mirror, one of the deacons opened his mouth: "Old Chen... what should we do about this?"

The deacon known as Old Chen sighed: "Forget it, the sword master also said - no matter what this guy is doing in there, as long as he doesn't want to demolish the sword house, he will go."

Therefore, it was very clean, and no one came to disturb Jiangnan.

Half an hour later, Jiang Nan stood up, turned and left.

The dead are gone, but the living still need to move on.

But just when he was about to walk out of the sword mound.

footsteps, stopped.

At that moment, Jiangnan felt in his consciousness that there was something surging under the earth.

In his ears, there was also the roar of the sea waves.

Jiang Nan frowned slightly, he couldn't help guessing maliciously in his heart,
——Could it be that the underground Mo You saw himself grilling on his grave, and couldn't help cheating?
just kidding.

In fact, in his spiritual perception, there is not a trace of the breath of the dead.

The head of the first sword head lay very quietly under the sword hut, without any accidents.

What caused the turmoil was something else.

As it happens, Jiangnan is quite familiar with this breath.

——It’s incense!

The power of incense, which is so huge that it is unimaginable, is slowly rising from the ground!

Like the tide of the sea, it is surging!

Gathering towards the south of the Yangtze River!

At that moment, the scene in front of Jiangnan changed rapidly!
He saw it.

When the sun was rising in the east, on a remote wasteland, countless cultivators with common burdens walked barefoot on the land like a pilgrimage.

Moving forward slowly in the same direction.

In their mouths, they muttered to themselves.

But Jiang Nan couldn't hear what they said.

I can only feel the strong power of incense, rising from the bodies of each sword cultivator, rushing towards the holy place in their hearts.

Combined with the stories Jiangnan has heard before.

It can bring so many sword cultivators together to offer incense.

He could only think of one person——the first sword head!
If you guessed right, the scene in front of you is exactly the moment when Mo You tried to use the power of incense to break through the Supreme Realm and become a Taoist!

As many sword cultivators moved forward, Jiangnan's perspective was slowly shifting.

Finally, they gathered at a tall and majestic altar.

On the altar, a huge stone statue stood upright.

Below the stone statue, a middle-aged man in robes stood leaning on his sword!

A majestic and terrifying aura emanated from him.

——That is an aura that is vaster than any existence Jiangnan has seen.

It's like another world!
Even after endless years, Jiang Nan's heart throbbed with that majestic power!

And the man in the long robe has a handsome face and is extraordinary.

It is [-]% similar to Mo You who met Jiangnan back then.

This person is the first sword head who is preparing to become enlightened!

During the pilgrimage of countless sword cultivators, the incense gathered, and the brilliant divine fire ignited from the towering stone statue, and then slowly entered Mo You's body!
At that moment, the wind and clouds came together, and the sun and the moon shone above his head together!

There are boundless ancient dragons coming from the horizon, neighing and surrounding; the magnificent divine phoenix also breaks through the void, congratulating and screaming!
All of a sudden, all the beasts screamed, all things worshiped, and the iron stone bowed down!
The voice of heaven and earth, Hong Hong played!
Step by step, the illusory avenue ladder is slowly paved, extending to Tongtian Avenue!

Mo You raised his sword, and under the gaze of countless eyes, he walked up the steps of the avenue step by step.

At the same time, his breath is also rising steadily!
Enlightenment is imminent!

But just when it was about to succeed, an accident happened.

——Countless translucent glazed chains rushed out from the darkness, rushing towards Mo You at the critical moment, like a poisonous snake!
When Jiang Nan saw this scene, he knew it clearly—this was the seal left by the shepherd.

While suppressing the aura and the principles of the Tao, it will also prevent all those who try to break through to the Supreme Realm and intend to become Tao!
Mo You's complexion remained unchanged, he raised his sword, and fought with Liuli Chain!
Suddenly, the sky darkened, the wind and clouds rolled back, and time and space collapsed!
Between the two, from the battle of the world to the starry sky, and then from the battle of the starry sky to the void!

It's as if the world is dying!

In the beginning, Mo You had the upper hand.

But the chains of seals are endless, and in the end they cover the entire world.

Countless chains turned into giant hammers, completely smashing the steps of Mo You's avenue!

And with the collapse of the road ahead, Mo You's own blood also collapsed, karma backlashed, fascinated, and demons suddenly emerged!

Be enchanted!

Fortunately, Mo You, who knew the ending, burned his cultivation base, suppressed his demons, and ordered many sword cultivators and his descendants to tear himself apart and seal him up.

The altar was also pushed down, and the majestic colossus was shattered, and together with Mo You's head, sank into the shaking of the earth.

Everything ends.

Over time, no grass will grow in this wasteland.

As time passed, Mo You's descendants established a sect here, named Jianlu, and enshrined their ancestors.

And the former wasteland also has another name - Jianzhong.

For a while, with the rise of the power of countless sword cultivators and incense.

The history of Jianlu and Jianzhong is also unfolding in front of Jiangnan.

But here is the problem.

Why did the incense that was buried deep underground and lodged on the towering stone statues suddenly evaporate?

Jiang Nan didn't know it at first.

But he got the answer from that ancient illusion.

We all know that human beings who practice humanity cannot rely on themselves to absorb the power of incense.

If you want to use incense, you need a medium.

Even the Buddha, who doesn't know whether he exists or not, gathers incense by relying on golden Buddha statues.

The same is true of Mo You, the first sword head.

He used the majestic stone statue on the altar to gather the power of incense to wait for enlightenment.

And cause and effect appear on the stone statue of this medium.

At that time, Mo You didn't know which muscle was wrong, or he wanted to use this to remember the immortal who led him into the way of swordsmanship.

The stone statue used to gather incense is not Mo You's appearance.Instead, it was built according to the appearance of the immortal who had saved his life.

In other words, the man carved by that towering colossus.

It is Jiangnan.

On the other side of the long river of time, what tens of thousands of people worship is the golden statue of Jiangnan!

Therefore, when he mastered the way of incense in Jiangnan, he stepped into the sword mound for the first time.

The pilgrimage of countless sword cultivators has spanned endless years of incense.

He broke away from the stone statue buried deep in the ground, and gathered towards his true self!

This is a gift left to him by the first-generation sword head who had a close relationship with Jiangnan.
