Vol 3 Chapter 61: Aspirations are not rewarded before death

Thank you Tiandi Xingyu Natural Friends for their rewards and comments.
Jianya, Ganzhou.
Xu Ping held his sword proudly and guarded at the gate of the mountain. He was a child of a poor family who could enter the famous school of Jianya. He had a boundless path before, so how could he not be proud.
In recent days, there has been a ten-year sword cliff conference. The master of sword cliff Gu Juejian competes with Tie Fist Li Shenfan, Xuanyi Sanren Qi Taichong, Changhe Sunset Zuo Xingqi, Nianhuayixiao Zhixiu and others to compete for the martial arts title. Yi’s name, and determine the destination of "Eternal Life". So Jianya was heavily guarded, and rising stars like Xu Ping were sent to guard the gate.
Thinking of "The Treasure of Longevity", Xu Ping was longing and sighing. After Shibo Du Yuhan got this secret book that year, he became the youngest master of martial arts in just six years. Unfortunately, he was also because of " "The Eternal Life" brought the disaster to life. Ten years ago, it was besieged and killed by several masters of the same realm. Gu Juejian, the master ancestor, had to be a step late and could only kill everyone before bringing the "Eternal Life" back to Jianya.
In order that the people in the martial arts would no longer be killed in blood because of this secret book, Gu Juejian sealed it under his futon. It's a pity that he couldn't help the four great masters including his famous Long River Sunset Zuo Xingqi. They joined together to Jianya and asked Gu Juejian to hand over the secret book.
Of course, Gu Juejian refused, so he proposed a sword contest to determine the destination of the secret book. In the end, he overpowered the other four and left the "Eternal Life" in Jianya, and became the number one master of martial arts in the world. At the same time, five people make an appointment for ten years before they compete. However, not only the four great masters are here this time, but also the rising stars who have entered the micro-level in the past ten years.
If I could one day become a master of a generation, defeat other masters of the same level in Jianya Lunjian, and become a veritable number one master of martial arts, how great it would be! When Xu Ping's dreams were hot, a faint voice sounded in his ears: "This little brother, this is Jianya? Pindao asked you about someone."
Xu Ping looked up and saw a young man dressed in ordinary clothes as if suddenly appeared in front of him, scared Xu Ping hurriedly backed up two steps and drew out his sword: "Who are you? How did you come here? My sword cliff?"
Shi Xuan smiled with his hands behind his back and said, "Why did you come here? Just now, my little brother, Xiao Dao came over when you were in a daze." When he left that year, Shi Xuan knew that Yan Jujian was originally Gu Juejian's junior, who also lived in Jian. Ya, secretly slandered at the time, the master's naming skills were worse than himself.
Xu Ping blushed as Shi Xuan said, and he did daydream just now, huh, this young Taoist doesn't seem to be very young, he actually called me little brother! However, seeing Shi Xuan's demeanor and demeanor is extraordinary, Xu Ping is also not good at each other's words: "I don't know who this little Daoist is looking for? I'm in Jianya's sword discussion conference these few days, I'm afraid it is inconvenient to receive.
"Pan Dao is here to find an old person named Yan Jujian. I don't know where he is? If it is inconvenient to receive, you can ask him to come out and meet the previous one." For Shi Xuan, it is very easy for Shi Xuan to sneak into Jianya to find Yan Jujian. One thing is asking for trouble, so it's not as convenient to ask directly.
Xu Ping said, "It turns out that Dao Master came to see Master Yan, but Master Yan has passed away for five years. Dao Master doesn't know?"
Shi Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he was a little surprised, it was reasonable. Twenty years ago, Yan Jujian was already fifty-two. He was injured too much when he was young and middle-aged, and damaged his origin. It’s normal to be sixty-seven years old, but Shi Xuan still feels a little melancholy. Speaking of it, Yan Jujian is the one who has the strongest desire to seek the truth except for Chu Waner, a kid who has no other desires, but unfortunately, his aspirations have not been rewarded. To die, Shi Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
"I don't know where Yan Giant Sword is buried? Can you bring Xiang Dao there." Shi Xuan asked with a sigh. As the master of Yan Giant Sword in name, but the actual master, Shangzhuxiang should be considered in the past. meaning.
Xu Ping first replied smoothly: "Uncle Yan is buried in Jianxuan." Then he immediately woke up: "However, you can't go to the incense for the past few days. There is a sword discussion conference going on there."
It's a pity that he didn't hear that Shi Xuan was not asking for a tone, but a statement. So he saw a flash of light in Shi Xuan's eyes, and the whole person became dizzy: "Then I will lead the way forward." After speaking, he turned and led the way.
Shi Xuan silently followed Xu Ping to Buried Jianxuan. No other Jianya disciples came up for questioning along the way, because these few days are the sword conference, and some famous figures and hidden masters from the rivers and lakes are coming. Shi Xuan had Xu Ping to lead the way when participating in the battle or watching the battle, and those disciples also misunderstood.
…………
Buried Jianxuan, before the tombs of Jianya masters of the past dynasties, the Lunjianchang was full of voices.
Ten years ago, the incident happened suddenly, and many famous people did not know about it, so only the five great masters participated in it. Ten years later, the sword conference has been widely known, and many hidden masters and new masters have come to the meeting. They also brought their own disciples, plus some well-connected people from all walks of life. The number of people in the sword field was dozens of times more than that of ten years ago.
After Changhe Sunset Zuo Xingqi defeated a newly promoted master, he won with a half-stroke advantage, Master Nianhuayixiao, Zhixiu, and now it is time to be proud of himself, his thin and gloomy face also smiled, facing the remaining The two masters, Tianjian Gu Juejian and Iron Fist Li Shenfan said, "Today Zuo must see who is the best in the world!"
As soon as he said this, his disciples, entourage, and friends were all proud, and they all spoke out to help out.
Li Chenfan looked at his fist affectionately, and smiled: "Zuo Lao'er, you have already fought twice in a row, and Li doesn't want to take advantage of you. You can take a break and wait until Li and Senior Gu have a battle. You fight." The defeat by Gu Juejian ten years ago gave Li Chenfan more respect for him.
Of course, Gu Juejian meant the same, nodded and said, "The leader of Li is extremely true, Brother Zuo, you should rest for a while, and wait for us to decide the outcome."
The Quanqian Gang, Jianya disciples, and other martial arts spectators all admired the two masters for their open-mindedness.
Zuo Xingqi is not a fool. He is indeed a little tired after the two wars. He said: "Then Zuo will watch here first. Don't let Zuo wait too long." Then he retreated to the sidelines and led to Jianya. Breath adjustment before the road to the graves of masters of the past dynasties.
The scene gradually calmed down, and everyone was holding their breath for the battle between the two great masters. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Hey, Xu Ping, how do you get into the Lunjianchang?!"
Suddenly everyone's eyes were focused on the entrance of Buried Jianxuan, and only a Jianya disciple took a young son and walked into the Lunjianchang without hesitation. They seemed to be struggling, but it was strange that , Those Jianya disciples who wanted to stop them couldn't catch up.
Li Chenfan looked at the young boy, his pupils contracted slightly, and then quietly stepped back a few steps, giving way to the road. Only Zuo Xingqi was still standing there eagerly. He didn't think anyone could make him retreat.
In a blink of an eye, the Jianya disciple and the young man walked up to Gu Juejian, and Gu Juejian asked, "I don't know who the visitor is. What is the old man? Xu Ping?"
But the young master and the Jianya disciple didn't seem to hear them at all, they kept passing Gu Juejian in their footsteps, and continued to go back, making Gu Juejian a little dazed for a while. Why did they come here?
Soon, the two of them walked in front of Zuo Xingqi, because Zuo Xingqi was blocking the intersection, so they stopped for a while. Zuo Xingqi said in a deep voice without evasiveness: "You two are here to find Zuo?"
The young man said lightly: "You blocked Shi's way, please let me." Shi Xuan didn't want to fly over. Walking was regarded as a little respect for Yan Giant Sword.
Left Xing Qiyuan glared his eyes, and said inconceivably, "In the way?" This was a big joke, so I was sure that it was here to find fault. He was never a good person, and once he was sure, he immediately attacked.
With a wave of Shi Xuan's sleeve robe, Zuo Xingqi flew three feet away, rolling on the ground and groaning painfully.
This unthinkable scene made the scene suddenly silent, and watched Shi Xuan and Xu Ping disappear into the path in the tomb.
…………
"Master Dao, there is the tomb of Master Yan." Xu Ping pointed to a tomb not far away in a daze.
Shi Xuan nodded, retracted the spell, and walked over. Xu Ping was clever, shaking his head, and suddenly came to his senses, and then found himself among the graves, so frightened, he screamed at ghosts, and dared not to turn back, and walked back and forth.
Slowly walking to the tomb of Yan Jujian, Shi Xuan picked up the three remaining incense beside him, then lit them and set them aside. Only then did he see the tombstone of Yan Jujian.
I saw on the tombstone it was written: "The tomb of the surnamed Yan, brother Gu Juejian will stand up." After that, there was a series of steles. It was not until the end that there were a few words left before the death of the brother, which is now engraved here. I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate the sky and have no eyes, and I can’t meet the uncle ten years earlier! I hate the young and frivolous, I don’t know how to take care of myself! The true story of the three hates is already near! The disciple Nan Tian is ashamed of Master Uncle!'"
Shi Xuan sighed and slowly said, "It's a pity." Shi Xuan turned into a clear light while sighing. Yan Jujian’s last words made Shi Xuan deeply touched. The path of immortality is really not emotional. Opportunity and hard work are indispensable. Otherwise, even if your Dao heart is firm, it will be near your life. Can lament in vain. In the same way, we must guard against minor failures and take care of ourselves.
Now that I have both chances and longevity, if I relax any more, I can't even compare Yan Jujian, his nephew, these words will be warning words on my path in the future.
"Pity."
"Pity."
"Pity."
...
When Gu Juejian came with his disciple, there seemed to be this sigh echoing in the wind.
