Chapter 4 One Sword
"Why... it feels a little hot? After removing two firewood, the bonfire should not be so strong, right?" Chang Xi twisted the clothes behind her back wet into a piece of clothes that were tightly pressed against her back, wiped off a layer of fine beads of sweat from her forehead, and couldn't help but say strangely.
The bonfire in the middle of the cave is not very prosperous, but the entire cave is steaming like a stove.
The outside of the cave was originally pitch black, but it became gradually brighter at this time. A golden light shone on the edge of the cave, which was very dazzling.
"It's dawn? How is this possible? It's only two hours before nightfall, and it's still early before dawn. What's this?" Chang Xi was puzzled by the strange things. He took off his sweaty top and showed his pretty refined upper body to the entrance of the stone cave. Just as he was about to walk out to find out, his palm accidentally pressed on the smooth rock wall at the entrance of the stone cave. Chang Xi's palm twitched, and the corners of his eyes suddenly raised, and he almost stepped out of the entrance of the cave.
The dazzling golden light outside the cave entrance suddenly surged. The temperature inside the cave instantly burned like a boiling boiler. Shocking waves of heat swept through the cave entrance, and the whistling sound of the wind seemed to tear the small stone hill apart.
In shock, Chang Xi hurriedly ran back to the innermost side of the cave in three steps and took off his already wet clothes to wrap himself tightly.
The surging heat wave almost made people faint. In a trance, every moment and every breath seemed to be infinitely stretched. Chang Xi bit his lips hard with his teeth, and strands of blood were secreted from his mouth. The sweet smell of blood spread in his mouth, holding on to the last trace of Qingming.
The wooden sign in the close-fitting pocket of the clothes emitted a faint green light at this time. This green light was inconspicuous in this stone cave full of golden light. But because of the appearance of this green light, the entire cave was still so hot and hot, but the temperature did not rise again.
Just when Chang Xi could hardly hold on, the golden light that surged outside the cave finally dissipated quickly like a tide that was ebbing, returning to the familiar night. The rumbling sound of the wind above his head also returned to silence at this moment, and the chest cavity, which was like a burning fire, could finally inhale the normal temperature of air. The wooden sign in the clothes also restrained the faint green light and calmed down again.
Chang Xi, who had blurred eyes, subconsciously threw away the sticky clothes on his body, and crawled to the door of the stone cave with his hands and feet. A cold wind blew outside the cave, drying the sweat dripping from his body, causing his dizzy mind to gradually wake up.
Chang Xi picked up a curled charred leaf beside him and couldn't help but feel secretly shocked. If such a terrifying heat wave had just walked out of the hole, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Swish...swish...swish"
Chang Xi, who was resting on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, his eyes narrowed, and his expression suddenly became alert. He was very familiar with the sound of this lure cutting through the air. Something was coming towards this place!
Chang Xi turned over neatly and hid his whole body behind the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, only half of his head was exposed, and his whole body was breathing slowly. He touched the sharp blade in his hand and paid full attention to the surrounding environment.
"call out!"
An extremely thin silver light passed by in the air, refracting crystal light under the moonlight. The silver light was getting slower and slower, silently passing Chang Xi's vision in the night sky, and flew straight to a mountain not far away. With a faint and unobservable sound, it disappeared.
"…This thing flies slower than an arrow, and doesn't look like something dangerous. It's just... the feeling just now... is it my illusion?"
After the silver light completely disappeared on the mountain, Chang Xi slowly walked out from behind the stone wall, muttered after grabbing her hair, which was still wet.
That feeling is really strange.
Chang Xi lowered his head and closed his eyes, carefully savoring the feeling when he saw the silver light. Various strange expressions flashed from time to time on his face with his eyes closed.
"Yes, that's the feeling! It's looking at me! I'm looking at it, and it's looking at me!"
Chang Xi suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed in a low voice. Because of this incredible thought, his already dry back was scared and sweated.
"And there is always a sense of unexplained anxiety in that silver light... I don't know if my mind is confused... That mountain is not far away, go and take a look... Otherwise, I'm really unwilling to see it."
Chang Xi, who made up his mind to find out, simply cleaned up, put out the bonfire, and turned around and walked into the night.
...
"This mountain looks so high, why is it so difficult to climb!"
While complaining secretly, Chang Xi carefully observed the mountain with the help of the faint moonlight, looking for the traces of the silver light.
At this moment, this mountain was already terrifyingly destroyed by the extremely fierce golden light just now. The trees all over the mountains were burned to almost like coke by the terrifying high temperature. Most of the forest leaves were burned to ashes, and only a few extremely heat-resistant plants were able to survive.
“Huh?”
Chang Xi, who was climbing up the mountain little by little, couldn't help but make a sound. He was touching a very narrow hole with his right hand looking for a climbing route while clamping the cracks of the rock.
Chang Xi moved to the right and balanced his body a little, carefully looking at the strange little hole. He reached out and touched it carefully, and was surprised to find that the opening of the narrow little hole was extremely neat, as if it was formed by something extremely sharp.
"The sharp thing... looks like the incision is very new, it must have happened recently. Could it be caused by the silver light just now?" Chang Xi couldn't help but stare. The amazing sharpness of the silver light could penetrate the mountain. How terrifying it would be?
Before he finished speaking, the bare hill vibrated violently without any warning. The huge rocks stomped under Chang Xi's feet suddenly shattered like tofu in his incredible eyes. Chang Xi, whose body had lost balance, was not too panicked. When he fell into the air, he gritted his teeth and stomped on a piece of smooth gravel behind him. With a trace of momentum, he slanted his body and smashed it hard on the ground.
Chang Xi felt that the smash had all his internal organs moved, and he felt indescribable pain all over his body. He curled up on the ground and gasped heavily, and could not move for a long time.
After a while, the quiet moonlight shone into the small cave. Chang Xi, who was lying down, crawled up from the ground with a humming moan, gently rubbed his shoulders that seemed to be broken, and grinned again.
Chang Xi rubbed his shoulders while looking at the small cave, thinking about how to get out. When his eyes accidentally swept across the end of the moonlight, his hand that was rubbing his shoulders couldn't help but stop and was stunned.
There was a sword.
Chang Xi walked slowly and carefully looked at the strange sword.
This is a very strange sword.
The tip of the sword penetrated deep into the cracked rock. Without the sword grid, the whole body was narrow and slender, as crystal clear as jade, reflecting pure white light under the moonlight.
"The size of this narrow sword body matches the thin silver light, and the color is exactly the same. It should be it. But the feeling before... is nothing now." Chang Xi recalled the appearance of the silver light and finally decided that the thin sword was the silver light I just saw.
Chang Xi walked to the sword, and his hand that was poking out to the sword trembled as if he wanted to withdraw it, but his hand was still reluctant to give up and froze there like this. The changing expression on his face showed his inner struggle.
This thin sword can tell you an extraordinary quality at a glance. Which sword is so unique in shape that it can fly in the air? At least Chang Xi has never seen it before.
But such a sword from the immortal family must have its master. The person who can control this sword must have a great identity. If the sword is taken away directly, what if someone comes to him later?
"But Qinglan Immortal Master is a man from Qingyun Mountain. Most of them are immortals who use swords. If I can worship Qingyun Mountain, I am afraid I will learn swords in the future. If I don't have a good sword, wouldn't I always lag behind others in the future? My conditions are really bad. If I want to make a name for myself, I can only rely on myself to fight for it!" Chang Xi's hesitant expression gradually faded, and he stretched out his right hand and held the cold hilt of the sword, slowly pulling it out.
"What a sharp sword!"
Chang Xi thought that the sword tip was trapped in a stone and wanted to pull it out, but he never thought that the sharpness of the sword was far beyond his imagination. As the sword blade slowly passed through the stone, the hard stone was easily broken like tofu.
When the tip of the sword was completely pulled out, the pain from the left arm made Chang Xi's right hand holding the thin sword tremble slightly. There was no protection at the hilt and blade. The tiger's mouth of the right hand gently touched the blade, and a bloody mouth was pulled out in an instant.
The blood flowing out of the tiger's mouth dripped across the sword blade. The first drop of blood that touched the sword blade directly merged into the sword body. A very dim white light flashed through the crystal sword body and became exactly the same as before. The pain at the tiger's mouth attracted Chang Xi's attention immediately, and he had no chance to see this strange scene.
"I'm afraid that your sword has some temper? I'll give me such a warning as soon as I came up!" Chang Xi couldn't help but feel a little funny. He always encountered some strange things, and now he's becoming more and more open-minded.
With his mouth sucking the blood on the tiger's mouth, Chang Xi felt that it was time to name the sword.
"Look at you so exquisite and beautiful, and you still emit a beautiful rainbow light under the moonlight. Then... I'll call you Yuehong, okay? Yuehong! It sounds so nice!"
Chang Xi put Yuehong in front of him, and the more he looked at her, the more he loved her, just like a naughty child who once took the iron willow bow from his father.
"My sword is so exquisite in my hand, it will definitely be coveted by the evil people outside. I still have to wrap you up to avoid any trouble."
Chang Xi happily carried all his clothes on the ground and wrapped them into a cylindrical shape. He carefully placed Yuehong in the middle, and then lifted them happily.
Only a "squeak" sound was heard, Yuehong inserted into the ground as she was at the beginning, and the clothes in her hand were neatly cut in half and scattered all over the ground.
Chang Xi stared at the scene in front of him blankly, but he couldn't recover for a long time.
"This is all my clothes! Oh my God!"
The boy's shrill roar spread quietly in the desolate mountains.
