Refusing to ascend at the beginning

Chapter 207 Past events, and the second person

In the dark and lightless sword prison, the cold air was raging, and condensed into strings of water droplets on the stone wall, dripping quietly, making the entire sword prison wet.

In the silence, Su Han knelt down and bowed to his master's remains, then sat opposite it and looked at his master's remains silently.

His body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He couldn't tell whether it was caused by the cold air and the ubiquitous sword intent invading his body, or it was hard to restrain his mood because of the "reunion" with the master.

Thousands of years ago, he thought that his master was just going out to trade wounds and medicines to treat the root causes of diseases that were difficult to cure.

But I didn't expect that this separation would last a thousand years. When we met again, the yin and yang were already separated, and the master had turned into bones.

Things are impermanent, nothing more than this.

The master's skeleton in front of him no longer had a trace of skin or flesh, but when Su Han looked at it, his eyes seemed to have passed through a thousand years of time, and he could still see the master's voice and smile.

Countless memories of spending time with Master came to me instantly.

Gradually, his eyes revealed a trace of unconcealable sadness.

Unlike Xu Lele and Cheng Yingyue, Master means much more to him.

The first two were his disciples. They had never met their master. To be honest, they didn't have much affection for him.

It was only because of his relationship that the two of them still searched for the whereabouts of their master while he was performing the Yang Yang Secret Art.

When they finally learned of their master's death, although they had mixed emotions, they were not too sad.

But for him, the matter was quite different.

……

……

Thousands of years ago, the Middle-earth continent was divided by various countries, with heroes vying for supremacy and wars and disputes.

In this context, only the people of all countries are suffering.

The master said that his parents, like most poor people, had to leave their hometown due to the destruction of their villages due to the war, and took the infant child with him to become refugees in the cold winter.

After all the few belongings and food he had with him were exhausted, his parents, not surprisingly, both froze to death on the roadside.

Scenes like this could be seen everywhere at that time.

And because of his good bones, the severe cold was hard to get close to him, so he barely survived in his infancy, but he lost his parents, had no source of food, and was not far from death.

Fortunately, at the last moment, the master happened to pass by and heard his cry, so he took him out of the arms of his frozen parents.

According to Master, at that time, his father and mother hugged him tightly.Even in death, they are using their bodies to protect him from the cold wind. This is the last love they can give him.

This is Su Han's only impression of his parents.

Because his parents died on the way to escape, the master did not know where he came from. No one even knew his original surname. He only knew that he came from the southern area of ​​​​now Pei State.

The name Su Han was renamed by Master for him.

After the master rescued him, he saw that he had excellent bones, so he wanted to become a disciple and kept him by his side.

In the following time, the master raised him as a baby.

She took him through thousands of mountains and rivers together and taught him how to view everything in the world.

As he grew older, his master began to teach him how to practice, and he taught him everything without reservation.

To him, such a master is not only a teacher, but also a father.

He is his only relative in this world.

This is also the reason why he has been persevering in searching for his whereabouts after his master disappeared.

No matter how many years have passed, this obsession has only grown.

It's a pity that the master used a pseudonym in his previous life, and he didn't have time to tell him his true identity.

He didn't know that his master's identity was so special, and he never expected that his master would be locked up here.

Moreover, after the master was imprisoned here, he was isolated from the world. There was no information related to him in the outside world, not to mention that the Qingji Sword Sect had specially blocked all information.

He searched for nearly a hundred years to no avail. Until he used the secret method of returning Yang, he always felt deep regret in his heart.

At this time, I finally saw the master again.

Even if all he saw was the skeleton, for him, it was the release of his obsession.

Su Han looked at the two empty eye sockets in the opposite head, and seemed to be able to see the original gentle look in his master's eyes.

His eyes were slightly moist, and he sat facing his master's remains, his mind immersed in the memories of the past, and he did not move for a long time.

……

……

In the 33 underground floors without a peak, the day and night changes outside have no meaning.

After Su Regret came back to his senses, he could only rely on his feelings to estimate that two days had passed.

He put away the sadness after "reuniting" with his master and returned to his former self.

He originally wanted to take his master's bones away, but at this time, his soul was locked and he couldn't even open the storage bag smoothly.

After thinking about it, he had to give up temporarily and prepare to start another thing.

When he came here, in addition to looking for his master, he also wanted to look for dragon scale fragments.

Su Han apologized softly to his master, then stood up and approached, and began to rummage through his master's clothes.

There was no sign of the dragon scale fragments, and the master's storage bag was nowhere to be found.

He stood up and walked around the small sword prison, looking carefully, hoping to find some useful clues.

After all, this sword prison has only held two people in the past. If there are any marks, they were probably left by the master.

But after searching around, nothing unusual was found.

He stopped, frowning slightly and thinking silently.

The dragon scale fragments were either placed in a storage bag. After the master died, the storage bag fell into the hands of the Qing Chi Sword Sect.

Or it was hidden somewhere in the sword prison by the master.

The former is more likely, but the latter is not impossible.

Su Han knocked on the ground. It was very hard. With his cultivation level locked, he couldn't even think of breaking it open with his hands.

He sighed softly. If he could take out the dragon scale fragments in his storage bag, he could use the secret method that Chujiu had taught him to activate the fragments and sense whether there was another fragment around him.

But now that the soul and aura are locked, not to mention activating the dragon scale fragments, even opening the storage bag to take out the fragments has become a huge problem.

The most urgent task was to break the chain of sword intent set by Lu Sen.

Su Han sat cross-legged next to his master and took out the storage bag. His soul began to try to break Lu Sen's seal in order to open the storage bag.

However, at this moment, in the extremely silent darkness, a strange voice suddenly sounded.

"No need to waste your efforts, this Immortal Prison Chain cannot be opened..."

It was a calm man's voice.

Su Han was stunned for a moment, then raised his head suddenly and looked at the darkness outside the cave entrance, looking at the sword prison diagonally opposite.

The sound came from there.

In that sword prison, there were only two black silhouettes.

Having scanned it with his naked eyes before, he thought the two black figures were just skeletons, so he didn't pay much attention.

But at this time, he looked at the two silhouettes attentively, and found that the head and eyes of one of the silhouettes had been opened, revealing two rather haggard eyeballs.

Su Han was surprised and said: "I didn't expect that there are still people locked up here in the deepest part of the sword prison."

The voice chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that besides me, there would be anyone qualified to be locked up here."

"Who are you?" Su Han asked. The identity of the people who can be locked up here should not be simple.

The voice was silent for a moment, laughed at himself, and then said quietly, "I am just a prisoner like you at this time."

He continued: "I woke up when that guy Lu Sen brought you down two days ago. I just saw that you seemed to be 'reminiscing' with the skeleton, so I didn't bother you. Although eavesdropping was not my intention, this place As big as that, I don’t even want to hear what Lu Sen said earlier. Is that skeleton Mei Yangshu?”

Su Xuan nodded.

"It's really him, the biggest traitor in the history of Qingchi Sword Sect, but he is also a legendary figure." After a pause, the voice asked curiously: "But, who are you to him? Why did Lu Sen say that He is your ancestor, but why do you call him master?"

Su Xuan lowered his eyes and did not answer.He didn't even know who the other party was, so how could they have such a simple and deep conversation.

Seeing that he didn't want to answer, the man was sensible and didn't ask any more questions.

The two were silent for a moment, and Su Han asked, "How long have you been here?"

"It was about 52, I can't remember exactly," the other party said with a smile, "Before you came here, I was the only one on the third floor of No. 30."

No wonder that voice kept chattering since he started speaking. It seemed that he had not talked to anyone in the past few decades and was suppressed.

Su Han thought for a while and said, "My name is Su Han."

"Guo Taigao." The voice also said.

"Su Han... I don't mean to offend, but I have never heard of a figure like you in the cultivation world before. You are so young and your cultivation level is not high, why were you imprisoned here? And why did he let you Hand over the Qing Chi Sword?"

These are not things worth concealing, so Su Han replied calmly: "These days are the Qing Chi Sword Sect's Millennium Festival. The sword forest is open for outsiders to take the sword. I also went to get the sword, and then I got it from it." Qing Chi Sword."

"..." Guo Taigao's voice fell silent.

Su Han said this calmly, as if he just picked up an unknown sword at random.

But that was the Qing Chi Sword.

After a while, his muttering came over: "The Qing Chi sword is not in the hands of Immortal Ling Heng, but in the sword forest? This is a strange thing.

"Earlier, Lu Sen said that Mei Yangshu was unwilling to hand over the sword. Does that mean... the Qing Chi Sword was lost thousands of years ago? Then it was hidden in the sword forest by Mei Yangshu who betrayed the clan, and you, as his successor, , I don’t know what method was used to find the Qing Chi sword from the sword forest? You didn’t want to hand it over, so you were imprisoned here?
"It's strange. With Lu Sen's temperament, it's not difficult to force open the cave of a young cultivator like you to get a sword. This seems to be what he would do. But in the end, he let you hold the sword and locked you in here. ?When did he become so reasonable?”

Guo Taigao actually pieced together [-]% to [-]% of what happened from a few words.

Su Han was slightly surprised and couldn't help but look at the black shadow twice before adding: "The scabbard of the Qing Chi Sword is in my hand, so I took the Qing Chi Sword."

"Oh?" Guo Taigao's voice also sounded surprised. After another moment of pondering, his voice came over: "Ruomei Yangshu was just like what the Qing Chi Sword Sect said, he was imprisoned after his identity was discovered from the beginning. Even if he is executed here, the scabbard cannot be left outside and reach your hands.

"So, Mei Yangshu had been on the run for a while? Did the Qing Chi Sword Sect lie? Why did they lie? Is there another hidden reason behind this matter?"

Su Han was shocked. This person was too sharp. Every question he guessed was on point. He couldn't help but ask again: "Who are you?"

Guo Taigao's voice came with a hint of smile: "As I said just now, I'm just a prisoner."

Seeing that he did not want to reveal his identity, Su Han did not ask further questions. Just as the other party did not ask about his relationship with the master, the two parties maintained a tacit understanding.

In fact, Guo Taigao was not completely blind to Su Han's identity. He had a trace of speculation in his heart.

Mei Yangshu turned into withered bones here, and an unknown amount of time had passed. This boy in white robe was too young, and he even called him master.

That was either someone else taking over as a disciple, or there was something hidden.

Based on the emotions shown by Su Han, it is unlikely to be the former. It is more likely that he was taught by Mei Yangshu himself.

He was accepted as a disciple by Mei Yangshu thousands of years ago, but now he is just a young man. In fact, it is not difficult to guess that this young man is most likely to be the one who has returned to the Yang Dynasty.

But since Su Regret didn't want to say it, he wasn't interested in revealing other people's secrets either.

I'm just secretly frightened, after all, those who successfully recuperate are so rare.

Seeing that he fell silent, Su Han looked at the storage bag in his hand and asked: "Just now, why did you say you don't have to waste your efforts? What is the Prison Immortal Chain?"

"The seal in our body is specially used by the Qing Chi Sword Sect to seal the cultivation of people in the sword prison. It is called the Immortal Prison Chain. It is an extraterrestrial skill that the people in the sect brought out from the Dragon Nest Mirage Realm. Its power far surpasses the cultivation methods of our world.

"Besides, the caster is still Lu Sen. Its power is so powerful that there is basically no possibility of breaking free. After I was imprisoned here 52 years ago, I have been trying to unlock this prison chain all the time, but I have never succeeded. With my nine Your cultivation has failed, let alone you?"

Hearing this, Su Xuan felt slightly relieved.

His soul has long transcended this world. For those who have not yet ascended, it may not be possible to break free from the Immortal Prison Chain, but for him, it is not impossible to give it a try.

Su regret thought for a while, and told Guo Taigao that he still had to try to know.

Then he closed his eyes and sank into his soul.

The sword prison fell into silence again.

In the darkness, Guo Taigao smiled softly and said nothing more.After all, no matter how much you talk, it is not as useful as a young man hitting the wall himself.

He changed his posture slightly, then closed his eyes, and his whole body turned into a lifeless black shadow again, motionless.
