In the fourth year, one day in the middle of the Flower Moon, Long Shouyue and Baili Fusu were brought back to the Nanxuan Gate of Fanjingxian Mountain Tianqi Peak in Jiuxian Mountain. Nanxuan Song asked his disciples to arrange for Long Shouyue and Baili

Fusu's residence, and then called for the baby boy Dongfang Xuantian he rescued from the east gate of Chang'an City two years ago.

Under Nan Xuan Song's arrangement, the three young men met for the first time in the main hall of Nan Xuan Gate.

The moment Baili Fusu saw Dongfang Xuantian, it seemed as if the two had known each other for a long time, so Baili Fusu, who was sitting next to Dongfang Xuantian, asked: "How old are you this year?"

Dongfang Xuantian said: "I am two and a half years old this year, but my brothers and sisters all say that I look like a ten-year-old child. What about you?"

Baili Fusu said: "I am four and a half years old this year, and I am only a little taller than you. Next year you will be taller than me. What is your name?"

Dongfang Xuantian said: "My name is Dongfang Xuantian, what is your name?"

Baili Fusu said: "My name is Baili Fusu, and you practice those spells every day at Nanxuanmen."

Dongfang Xuantian said: "The immortal swordsmanship practiced by Nanxuanmen is: three years of training the muscles and bones, three years of learning moves, and three years of sharpening the mind. Then you can leave Tianqi Peak and go to the Fourth Palace of Sixian Mountain to practice, and I came to Tianqi Peak

It has only been two and a half years, but I have completed all nine years of practice, which shocked all the brothers and sisters."

Baili Fusu said: "You are so powerful. When you were this old, I gave a dragon a bath at the Soul-Destroying Place in the Netherworld."

Dongfang Xuantian said: "No, according to the rules of Nanxuan Sect, when I think about staying at Tianqi Peak for seven years in the future, I feel that the time is very long. I can't wait to go to the Fourth Palace of Sixian Mountain to practice tomorrow."

After saying that, Dongfang Xuantian led Baili Fusu to look at the fusang trees outside the main hall.

The hibiscus trees on Tianqi Peak are evergreen all year round, and migratory birds come and go. Everything starts again and again. Time seems to have stopped here, giving Dongfang Xuantian, who has been here two and a half years, the illusion that everything has never changed.

Except for the hibiscus tree planted by Nanxuan Song the year Dongfang Xuantian came, it was still a small tree at the beginning and has only grown a little taller. Now, in the past two years, Dongfang Xuantian has grown many times taller than this hibiscus tree.

Dongfang Xuantian said: "The hibiscus trees outside this hall were planted by the Immortal Lord and have grown for five hundred years. Two hundred years ago, after the Immortal Lord passed away, Yoshida Shangshan became the master of the Discipline Sect.

, then his twin brother Yoshida Shixie pushed him off the cliff, so the master took over as the Discipline Gate. For some unknown reason, the master changed the Discipline Gate to Nanxuan Gate."

After Dongfang Xuantian led Baili Fusu around the Nanxuan Gate Hall, he was summoned by his senior brother and left, saying that his master Nan Xuansong called him.

Arriving at the attic where master Nan Xuansong lives, the first thing that greets his eyes is the peach tree, which is the only peach tree in the entire Tianqi Peak.

Last year Nan Xuansong once told one-year-old Dongfang Xuantian about this peach blossom tree.

"Peach blossoms are the most lovesick. This is Luo Xin's favorite flower."

More than two hundred years ago, when Yuanshi Xianzun was still in the world, Nan Xuansong and Jiang Zongquan secretly liked Luo Xin. However, because of the strict rules, no one dared to break the rules, so Nan Xuansong always kept this love.

Hidden in my heart, no one knows, I just plant a peach tree that Luo Xin loves most in front of my attic.

Two hundred years later, after Yuanshi Immortal Lord passed away, no one enforced the rule that the closed disciples of Jiuxian Mountain could not fall in love and get married, so the quick-thinking Jiang Zongquan married Luo Xin, and Nanxuan Song was alone from then on.

After Dongfang Xuantian walked into the attic where Nan Xuansong lived, he saw Nan Xuansong taking medicine.

Because more than a hundred years ago, when Nan Xuansong was guarding the "Demon Burning Technique" in the sky, he was seriously injured by Long Aotian who came to get the "Demon Burning Technique", and Long Aotian also disabled his fairy spirit.

Since then, Nanxuan Song has been unable to make any progress in the cultivation of immortals.

"Master, I'm drinking medicine."

Nan Xuansong, who had just finished drinking the medicine, nodded and closed his eyes, said "Yeah" and stopped talking.

After a while, Nan Xuan let go and said: "Xuan Tian, ​​when Jiang Xinyue from Qingcang Sect comes to Tianqi Peak in the past few days, you, Jiang Xinyue and Baili Fusu will go to the Fourth Palace together.

Practice while practicing”

"Master, can I go to the Fourth Palace to practice?" Dongfang Xuantian's eyes widened.

"You followed me up the mountain for two years, and you have already understood the immortal swordsmanship of Nanxuanmen. Tomorrow you will follow me to the sword pavilion to get the sword." Nanxuan Song said leisurely.

"But I'm only two and a half years old. Master, maybe I'm too anxious." Dongfang Xuantian said hesitantly.

"Dongfang Xuantian, you need to remember that you are the person who has turned around from the Eastern Auxiliary Star of the Nine Stars in the Sky. The Auxiliary Star is responsible for assisting your other eight partners to achieve great things, so you are the one with the fastest physical growth among all people.

If you grow for one year, it would take an ordinary child five years to grow."

"But, master, I'm not ready yet?"

"Disciple, one day you will know that not everything will happen until you are ready. Everything in the world will happen when it is supposed to happen, neither early nor late. Time does not wait.

Man, you have to learn to face sudden surprises and accidents. You go back first, and you can come with me to the sword pavilion tomorrow to choose a sword." After saying this, Nan Xuansong stood up and prepared to close the door of the pavilion.

Dongfang Xuantian said goodbye to his master, then walked out of the pavilion and left.

After leaving the attic, Dongfang Xuantian was happy and surprised.

I was happy to finally leave Tianqi Peak. Dongfang Xuantian was so familiar with everything in front of me. There were lotus leaves lying in the water tank in the attic, the handle on the attic door was covered with patina, and the peach blossom tree in front of the attic door, where Nanxuan pine always liked to sit

I meditate under the peach blossom tree in front of the attic, squinting my eyes, lighting a stick of incense beside me, and the dense fog rises, bringing up all the memories of being with the master in the past two years.

What was shocking was that now Dongfang Xuantian was suddenly asked to leave everything he was familiar with, and a lot of panic suddenly arose in his heart.

Early the next morning, Dongfang Xuantian came to Nanxuansong's attic to wait for his master.

On this day, Nanxansong led Dongfang Xuantian to the famous sword pavilion in Jiuxian Mountain. This sword pavilion is where Yuanshi Immortal Master collects the world's famous swords.

After Dongfang Xuantian followed his master Nan Xuansong to the Mingjian Pavilion, Nan Xuansong slowly opened the door. The old wooden door made a creaking sound, and then came waves of musty smell accompanied by dust.

It has been hundreds of years since a cabinet was opened.

Nanxuan Song said with a hint of vicissitudes: "Since the immortal passed away two hundred years ago, I once opened the sword pavilion and put the sword used by the immortal into the sword pavilion. More than a hundred years ago, Long Aotian made it for the master.

After being seriously injured and at the same time destroying my master's immortal spirit cultivation energy, my master has been unable to make any further progress on the path of immortal spiritual cultivation, even if he is a little bit more diligent. So from then on, this

The sword pavilion has never been opened again."

Dongfang Xuantian listened while thinking about who Long Aotian was, and then followed the footsteps of master Nan Xuansong and looked around at the sword hanging on the wall. Nan Xuansong came to the sword pavilion and looked at the sword here as if he had seen a sword.

Like old friends who have not seen each other for more than a hundred years, there are no less than a hundred swords in the sword pavilion with different shapes. Dongfang Xuantian is fascinated by them.

"Choose one and take it out." Nan Xuansong said to Dongfang Xuantian who was watching in a daze.

Dongfang Xuantian calmed down and began to look at every sword on the wall. After walking around, he didn't choose a sword that made him fall in love at first glance.

At this time, Dongfang Xuantian walked to the corner of a sword pavilion. A few rays of sunlight shone through the roof, but there was a bronze wooden sword placed somewhere where it could never shine.

What makes Dongfang Xuantian feel strange is that this wooden sword seems to have its own life. In this sword pavilion that has not been opened for more than a hundred years, all the swords are stained with more or less dust. Only this one has the most dust in the corner.

place, this wooden sword has kept its bronze color so spotless.

Dongfang Xuantian held the wooden sword in his hand as if he had found a treasure, and said happily to Nan Xuansong: "Master, this is the one I choose!"

When Dongfang Xuantian took the wooden sword to the sun, he saw that the bronze wooden sword was like a layer of gold plated under the sunlight, emitting a charming light as if it had stayed new for a long time.

"This sword is so beautiful." Dongfang Xuantian murmured.

"Perhaps, this is God's will. Immortal Lord, have you seen your spirit in heaven? There is someone to inherit your mantle." Nan Xuansong said to himself secretly in his heart.

After a while, Dongfang Xuantian came to Nan Xuansong and said: "Master, what is the name of this sword?"

"It's called the Tongtian Sword. In ancient times, in the east of the sea, there was a huge tree called the Fusang Tree. It was three hundred miles high. You can climb up to the sky along this tree, so it was also called the Tongtian Sacred Tree. The one you have in your hand

The sword was forged from the trunk of the tree that reaches the sky. This is the sword I opened the sword pavilion and put in two hundred years ago."

"Tongtian Sword, the name sounds nice, I will take it down the mountain to practice." After choosing the sword that he was satisfied with, Dongfang Xuantian cheered excitedly.

Nan Xuansong opened his past memories and said leisurely: "This Heavenly Sword was once the sword used by the Immortal Lord to cultivate the immortal spirit in the first place. Since you insist on choosing this sword, you will be like the Immortal Lord in protecting the Nine Immortals Mountain in the world in the future.

Spiritual development

Da. I once heard Master say that the highest level for a swordsman is to cultivate the Sword Spirit. After the Immortal Master used this sword to cultivate the Sword Spirit, the Sword Spirit was fused with a piece of black iron from the universe and the galaxy, and was finally cast.

Another divine sword, the Spirit-Slaying Sword..."

Nan Xuansong told a lot of past events about the Immortal Lord, but Dongfang Xuantian could hardly understand it. However, he pretended to understand and kept nodding his head until the master and apprentice chatted in the sword pavilion for most of the day.

leave.

A few days later, Jiang Xinyue arrived at Nanxuanmen.

This Jiang Xinyue was born in the first half of the third year of the period when the land of China was splitting into the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. When Jiang Xinyue was just born, the Beiheng star of the nine stars melted into the newly born Jiang Xinyue.

in the body.

Although only Jiang Zongquan and Luo Xin knew about all this, Nanxuan Song, who often watched the sky at night in Jiuxian Mountain, also knew about it.

On the last day of the Flower Moon, Nan Xuansong looked particularly happy when he saw Jiang Xinyue.

Two years ago, due to the birth of his daughter Jiang Xinyue, Jiang Zongquan failed to attack the tenth realm "Piaomiao Jue". At the same time, her wife Luo Xin also paid the price with her life. Therefore, Jiang Zongquan has loved this child especially since the birth of his daughter.

.

At the same time, Nan Xuansong also regarded Luo Xin as his own child. Whenever he was free, he would go to the Qingcang Sect on the Qingcang Peak of Yunding Fairy Mountain. He turned all his past love for Luo Xin into Jiang Xinyue's father.

like.

Because Jiang Xinyue was the reincarnation of Beiheng Star, one of the nine stars, she could be called "Mom" when she was born. Jiang Xinyue grew up so fast that in just one year, she could already fly with a sword.

It was due to the joint training and guidance of two masters at the elder level of Jiuxian Mountain, his father Jiang Zongquan and his mother's senior brother Nan Xuansong.

Nan Xuansong knew that junior sister Luo Xin liked to watch the moonlight on snowy days, but it never snowed in Jiuxian Mountain, so he named his daughter Xinyue to watch the snowy moonlight in his heart. From the edge of the Great Wall of the Northern Territory

When Luo Xin came to Jiuxian Mountain, what impressed her most was the white snow she saw on the edge of the Great Wall when she was a child.

In the last few days of Huayue, Nanxuansong left Jiang Xinyue to live at Nanxuanmen above Tianqi Peak of Fanjingxian Mountain for a few days.

Until, on the first day of the birth month, four young boys, Jiang Xinyue, Baili Fusu, Long Shouyue, and Dongfang Xuantian, set out to practice in the Fourth Palace.

Because the highest Xuan Gong practice holy land in Jiuxian Mountain in Yunhai Peak is currently managed by Fairy Qingcheng, and as several young practitioners trained by Jiuxian Mountain, Nan Xuansong first asked the four young people to go to Yunhai Peak to ask Fairy Qingcheng for advice.
