The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 484

"Grandpa, where are we going?"

Wang Ping'an was a little puzzled as he watched the large and small bags being loaded onto the donkey-drawn cart.

The middle-aged man, surnamed Luo, whose white hair was interspersed with black hair, replied simply and without a smile: "Moving."

Wang Ping'an became even more curious: Where were they going?

But faced with Luo's consistently serious face, he dared not ask another question.

However, Luo surprisingly added, "There's a blacksmith shop in Wuye Prefecture that's hiring. They want me to come and help out. The monthly wage will be five times higher."

"Such a good thing?" Wang Ping'an exclaimed in surprise.

But the boy, who usually loved reading storybooks and had a wild imagination, immediately started to fantasize in a naive and innocent way.

"Could it be that my destined adventure is about to begin?" He couldn't help but tighten his grip on the rusty iron sword, and a look of longing for the future appeared on his face.

"Where did you pick up this sword?" Luo's cold, stern voice suddenly interrupted the boy's reverie.

Wang Ping'an scratched the back of his head and replied somewhat embarrassedly, "In the old well in the backyard."

"Oh, there." Luo simply nodded.

Wang Ping'an tensed up: "Grandpa, is there some story behind that?"

"Are you talking about those stories in novels?" Luo naturally understood the young man.

The boy nodded.

Mr. Luo shook his head.

The boy was disappointed.

Then they began carrying their belongings, big and small.

"Hey, Wang Ping'an."

The boy immediately perked up: "Please tell me."

"Don't forget the statue of the patriarch in the courtyard."

"Ah...oh, oh." The boy was disappointed again.

The road ahead is long, and it's uncertain whether a kindred spirit will be found. The young man felt melancholy once more.

He sat on the crossbar of the donkey cart, and as the cart slowly moved away, his legs swung like noodles, constantly moving with the bumps of the road.

He did feel quite lost and worried. Lately, he had been having strange dreams, but he dared not tell his grandfather. He only said that it was because of the hardships of the journey that he had nightmares.

In his dreams, there is always a pair of eyes staring at him, like a demon or a lecher, making him feel uneasy and feeling his hair stand on end when he wakes up.

He couldn't remember whether the nightmare began when he set off or when he picked up that rusty iron sword.

The reason for speculating about the rusty sword is simply because the boy is both innocent and sensitive, and can always find points that ordinary people would not think of.

This rusty sword is a prime example.

Last night, however, he finally had a breakthrough in his dream.

"sword."

In my dream, an extra voice appeared, calling out a word with a special meaning.

What sword?

A peerless sword? Or the Daoist's sword? Could it be the Heart-Bearing Wisdom Sword? The Gentleman's Sword?

The boy was truly confused.

Born into a blacksmith's family with a tradition of blacksmithing skills, he had helped his grandfather forge no fewer than ten swords, each one capable of cutting through iron like mud. Even sword repairmen would have to say, "What a fine sword!"

In addition, since swords are a common protagonist weapon in vernacular novels, he naturally learned about famous swords from all over the world.

First are the legendary magic swords of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, all of which were personally refined by their founders, becoming celestial treasures, and then passed down through generations.

However, most of them could no longer be shown to the public after the three religions either perished or were sealed off.

If these are indeed legendary swords, he really needs to consider whether he's going crazy.

However, he soon stopped having these wild thoughts.

Now that he has arrived in Wuyezhou, he should adapt to the new environment and become a qualified "commuter student".

Yes, Mr. Luo sent him to school.

Wuye Prefecture is much larger than Pian Prefecture, and it is the main territory of the Fanye Sect, one of the three major sects.

The Vanye sect was once a branch of the lower temple of Buddhism, but later the Vanye sect broke away from Buddhism and formed its own sect, which also practiced swordsmanship and recruited nuns, thus becoming even more eccentric.

Today, it has completely abandoned many of the traditions of Buddhism and become an independent sect. Even when Buddhism was relegated to the dustbin of history, it did not rush to take over the legacy of Buddhism like other sects.

They now only practice one method, called Buddha Sword.

One sword can make you a Buddha, one sword can make you a demon; without sword and without thought, the Buddha and sword are formed naturally.

Legend has it that the founder of the Brahma-Ye School broke away from the Buddha's command based on the legend of the Buddha's sword.

However, the young man was not qualified to pay homage to the founders of the three major sects. Not to mention him, even his unknown grandfather could only go to the blacksmith shop every day to forge iron and swords, and had never seen anything else.

Wang Ping'an studied here for three years.

He went from elementary school to university and became a refined scholar.

But his dreams each night became increasingly "real".

I've been having the same dream lately.

A multicolored light completely enveloped his dream, and then three more words appeared on top of the previous one.

Thief, what a fine sword!

I suppose this is a compliment.

The boy now dares not reveal such a dream.

He was even more aware of his unusual nature.

Moreover, he always felt that he and his grandfather did not look very alike.

"Could it be that my background is really that bizarre?" Wang Ping'an's divergent thinking never stopped.

In addition, his grandfather always forbade him from coming into contact with cultivation methods, whether they were passed down from the three religions or from other schools of thought. He was even forbidden from using the external hard qigong of martial arts that could be bought for a few copper coins on the market.

This naturally reinforced his belief in his uniqueness.

Perhaps he... is the child of a "great demon" who once wreaked havoc on the world.

While Wang Ping'an was doubting his family and looking forward to the future, a piece of news suddenly spread throughout Wuye Prefecture.

The founder of the Buddhist Sword Sect has passed away.

However, such a momentous event is nothing compared to what the world is experiencing today.

Because the legendary swordsman who emerged from a strange rock in the sky actually descended from the heavens.

This matter is naturally strange. Legend has it that the heavens are the celestial realm, where the founders of the three religions ascended. The swordsman, inspired by the unrestrained actions of the Confucian leader, went to the upper realm to find the founders of the three religions, and never returned. Now, his sudden descent to the mortal realm inevitably raises doubts in people's hearts.

What exactly is happening in the Azure Heavens?

Curious individuals and busybodies alike sought out the swordsman.

But the swordsman didn't want to waste any more words or pay attention to these people, and went alone to Wuye Prefecture to find someone.

As for who he was looking for, Wang Ping'an didn't know, but in any case, Wuye Prefecture was now in turmoil.

Some people even linked the two events together, saying that when the Buddha Sword Ancestor heard about the swordsman, he recalled the fear of being dominated by the swordsman, and thus went into a state of demonic possession, leading to his death.

However, such a claim is hard to believe, because the founder of the Buddha Sword Sect was established quite early and retired early. He did not participate in the battles between the five major sects, nine major gangs and the swordsmen in the past, so it is hard to say that his death was related to the return of the swordsmen.

But the swordsman eventually broke into Wuye Prefecture, which then stirred up a chaos that swept through Wuye Prefecture and even the whole world.

Wang Ping'an imagined meeting the swordsman, perhaps even sharing drinks and discussing everything under the sun.

But he didn't expect to meet him so soon.
