Chapter 98 Chapter 98 "How dare you kiss me in front of my father...
Sword Sect, Wu Nian Peak.
Inside the stone cave.
In front of the towering stone wall covered with sword marks, Jiang Yan looked up.
The combination of the uncanny craftsmanship of nature and the sword intent left by the sword cultivators is like a wordless book carved on the cliffs, recording the different experiences of different sword cultivators in gaining enlightenment here.
In the very center, there is a sword energy spanning the stone wall, and the sword mark is deep into the wood. The invisible sword intent of the vast sea rises up, but only a small corner of the sword intent is exposed to the observers. Under the sea level, the undercurrent is surging, and there is a huge, endless iceberg.
Jiang Yan's gaze was fixed on the sword mark for a long time without saying a word, and he couldn't look away.
His eyes flickered, and after a while, the Demon-Breaking Sword was actually lifted into the air by its master for the first time, and stopped very close to the cliff.
A sound of breaking wind followed.
It was Gu Jingyun following behind him.
Jiang Yan stretched out his hand and actually wanted to touch the stone wall.
The man held the young man's white wrist and said gently, "Ayan, be careful of the sword energy that might hurt you."
"If he is really my father, he won't hurt me." Jiang Yan said firmly.
Gu Jingyun let go of his hand in silence and did not try to stop him.
The young man's fingertips touched the groove in the stone wall. In an instant, an invisible wave of wind and waves rushed towards him, like a raging sea, unstoppable.
"Hmm!" Jiang Yan's body suddenly leaned back, and he had no time to concentrate on controlling the sword. The Demon-Breaking Sword suddenly became crooked.
A blinding white light shone from the Sumeru Ring on Jiang Yan's middle finger. Jiang Yan was blinded by the light at close range and had to turn his face away.
Before he took off the Sumeru Ring or took any other action, a magic stone floated out of the ring.
That is the spiritual stone that bears the imprint of my father's soul.
Jiang Yan raised his hand and held it reflexively.
The red totem on the spiritual contract stone flickered, as if it could breathe, flickering on and off. In a moment, Jiang Yan's soul was sucked into the magic stone in his palm.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
The Demon-Breaking Sword was on the verge of falling, causing the people standing on it to sway left and right in the air.
"Ayan!"
Gu Jingyun was terrified and hurriedly pulled the person over.
The Demon-Destroying Sword completely lost control, flipped over and fell, carrying with it the remaining spiritual power, and pierced straight into the soil, making a long buzzing sound.
Gu Jingyun lowered his head anxiously.
The young man in his arms tightly grasped the Philosopher's Stone, his eyes closed, his lips trembling, his voice as thin as a mosquito's.
Gu Jingyun leaned forward and listened carefully.
——"Dad——" the young man kept murmuring in a low voice, repeating the same word.
"……dad."
Jiang Yan "saw" it.
He saw his father sitting cross-legged in the dark cave with the Cangming Sword placed across his knees.
The man looked much younger than he remembered, but because the changes in appearance of cultivators were negligible, his actual age was impossible to determine.
With every breath, the man's breath remained steady and unchanged. From a distance it looked like a mirror-like lake with ripples caused by the wind, but when you dive into it, you will realize that there is a black hole-like abyss underneath.
Jiang Yan felt his soul hanging high in the air, overlooking his father, Jiang Qingsui.
He felt lost in thought, and homesickness had never been so strong before, making his eyes almost red immediately.
[Dad...] Jiang Yan whispered.
Jiang Qingsui suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: [Who is spying in secret? ! ]
【！】 Jiang Yan was surprised and asked anxiously: 【Dad, can you see me? Father——Dad！！】
Jiang Qingsui obviously couldn't hear it.
He frowned, his eyes were colder than Jiang Yan had ever seen, and his whole body was filled with chill.
It can be seen that Jiang Qingsui still held high the banner of ruthlessness at this time, and was only seeking the ultimate in swordsmanship.
Jiang Yan wanted to float downwards.
But as soon as he moved slightly, Jiang Qingsui raised the Cangming Sword without hesitation and swung it with ease.
【！ ！ 】
Jiang Yan only felt a gust of wind blowing towards him, which made him unable to open his eyes and his long hair flying behind him. Jiang Yan raised his arms to block it, but the wind whistled past and hit the stone wall hard without touching him at all.
Jiang Yan paused and lowered his blocking arm.
He looked back.
I saw a long and narrow sword mark deeply engraved into the stone wall.
The shape was exactly the same as that in later generations.
Jiang Yan seemed to understand something in his heart. This might be time magic, or in other words, the more mysterious blood magic.
He originally thought that the runes on the spirit stone were possessed by the soul.
Now it seems that the stone is very famous.
Why did his parents give him the spiritual bond stone engraved with blood magic? Did they know that he would come here?
Jiang Yan was puzzled.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of Jiang Qingsui flying towards me on his sword.
Jiang Yan's face was tilted, and his biological father was hovering beside him. The cool and handsome face that charmed his mother was even more handsome when he looked closer.
The two were so close that some of their clothes even overlapped - Jiang Yan discovered that his body was translucent.
There was nearly a thousand years between them.
Jiang Qingsui frowned: [No? Could it be that I sensed it wrongly? ]
After thinking for a while, he said to himself: [It is possible that I have already chopped off his head with one sword. ]
【…………】
Jiang Yan, who not only survived but was unharmed, slowly turned around.
He looked at the image from a thousand years ago, his dark eyes calm and rational.
Jiang Yan said gently: "Dad, please wait a little longer. When I get home, I will tell mom about this."
The sword immortal from a thousand years ago frowned: [Why does it seem like there are still people here? ]
Jiang Yan was silent instantly.
Outside the cave, a strange, rough voice suddenly came: [Brother Jiang! ]
The man had a very loud voice, as loud as a bell, and the whole cave was filled with a faint echo.
Jiang Yan and his father turned around and saw a tall, muscular man walking in with the light behind him.
[They said you were here, you really are here. It's cold and chilly here on Wu Nian Peak, you like to go to cold places, why don't you come visit me! ]
The man said casually, raised his head and asked: [Why are you floating so high? ]
Jiang Qingsui seemed very surprised, and instead of answering, he asked: [Brother Tielong, you are not in the North Territory, why did you come to Dongzhou, and even go to the Sword Sect to look for me? ? ]
The man called "Iron Dragon" replied: [I'm here to ask you to be my matchmaker. I want to go on a blind date and find a wife.]
The great sword master was so frightened that he almost fell off his sword.
[You asked me—a person who practices the Way of Mercy—to act as a matchmaker for you?! ]
Jiang Yan subconsciously touched his pocket and found it empty, only to realize that he couldn't bring in items like melon seeds.
Tielong said: [What's wrong with that? Is it not possible? Don't refuse. When you get married, I will introduce you to a wife.]
Jiang Qingsui flatly refused: [I don’t care about love affairs.]
Jiang Yan: [!!!]
He reflexively went to look for the photo bead again. After realizing what was happening, he felt very regretful.
I should show it to my mother.
If this scene could be preserved, it would definitely be a dark history of my father that would be passed down through the ages.
[What kind of girl is so unlucky that she would be favored by a fool like you?] Jiang Qingsui put away his sword and jumped down, landing steadily.
[What you said really doesn't give my brother face! ] Tielong shouted.
[Okay, who is it? ]
[Miss Xueqing from our tribe! She is a famous beauty in the entire northern border. If she says she is ranked second, no one else dares to be ranked first! ]
[…Xi Tielong, are you okay?] Jiang Qingsui asked sincerely, [You want me—a member of the Dongzhou Sword Sect—to go to the Snow Demon Clan to act as a matchmaker for you? ? Go find the elders!]
[So what?] Xue Tielong said, [You are a world-famous swordsman. Xue Qing admires you very much. You are more effective than the elders in speaking.]
Finally, he added: [And you are still ruthless. ]
[…How could I have a bad friend like you?] Jiang Qingsui sighed heavily.
Jiang Yan suddenly realized!
No wonder he came all the way to find the Sword Immortal, and even specifically stated that he would help the Sword Immortal brothers tie the red string after they got married. So this is the reason!
Tielong and Jiang Qingsui walked out while talking. They had high cultivation and excellent Qinggong. In the blink of an eye, they appeared at the entrance of the cave from the depths of the cave.
【Dad! Wait! 】
Jiang Yan used his Qinggong skills to try to catch up, but was blocked by an invisible light screen. His forehead hit the screen, causing him to scream in pain.
[Hiss, it hurts——! ]
The young man felt dizzy and his vision went dark.
He didn't notice that not far away, Jiang Qingsui paused and turned around to look back again.
Jiang Qingsui looked at the empty cave entrance, his eyes fixed.
[Brother, what's wrong? ] Tielong asked.
[…Nothing.] Jiang Qingsui said in confusion, [It’s just that I seemed to hear someone calling me dad.]
Tielong laughed at him: [You still say you want to practice the ruthless way, I think you want to get married more than I do! ]
Jiang Qingsui: […If you say another word, I won’t go to the North.]
Tielong said in panic: [Stop! I am wrong, isn't that okay! ]
**
"Ayan!"
“Ayan!!”
Amid the increasingly anxious calls, Jiang Yan suddenly opened his eyes and found himself half lying and half sitting on the ground, leaning in Gu Jingyun's arms.
Gu Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief: "You finally woke up. You fainted suddenly and almost scared me. How do you feel now?"
Jiang Yan calmed himself down.
He stayed in the fragment of time from a thousand years ago for nearly a quarter of an hour, but when he returned to reality, it was only a few seconds.
It's really weird to feel your soul being sucked away to another place.
Jiang Yan took a moment to calm down before holding onto Gu Jingyun's arm and saying, "Brother, I'm fine."
"What happened just now?" Gu Jingyun asked.
Jiang Yan looked down at the spiritual contract stone in his hand: "There is blood magic in this magic stone. The sword intent left by the sword fairy triggered the magic in it, and my soul was sucked in, and I saw things that happened a thousand years ago."
Gu Jingyun listened to him quietly.
Jiang Yan said: "...I saw my father standing here. He seemed to hear me talking. He thought I was an intruder and swung his sword at me."
Gu Jingyun: "Are you hurt?"
The young man shook his head. "It went straight through my chest without touching me."
"I also saw a man named 'Xiusi Long'. He came to my father to act as a matchmaker for him. His target was a girl named 'Xue Qing'. They are both from the Snow Demon Clan." Jiang Yan asked, "Brother, do you know them?"
Gu Jingyun pondered for a long time: "'Xue' is indeed the surname of the Snow Demon Clan in the Northern Territory, but...the names of these two people seem familiar, and I can't remember them for the time being. I'll go check it out later."
The North doesn't like to interact with the other four continents. It is isolated and bitterly cold there, and they don't like to deal with foreigners, so it is very difficult to obtain news there.
Jiang Yan understood: "No rush."
Jiang Yan supported himself on Gu Jingyun's hand and stood up swiftly.
The Demon-Destroying Sword was not far away. Jiang Yan pulled it out and put it back into the scabbard.
"Brother, do you usually meditate here?" he asked.
Gu Jingyun nodded.
Jiang Yan looked around and saw nothing but natural rocks, not even a decent couch or chair.
There was a small opening on the top of the cave, and a beam of bright white light went straight through it, like holy light falling.
This is the brightest place in the cave. Without the night-shining pearl or the fire stick, the rest of the place would be as dark as dusk even in the daytime, and it is impossible to imagine what the cave would be like at night.
Jiang Yan hesitated and said, "It's too cold here."
Gu Jingyun was startled and frowned as he was about to turn over the furry cloak for him.
"I'm not cold."
Jiang Yan quickly held the man's arm and whispered, "I feel that the environment here is too cold and lonely, but you are practicing in seclusion alone. You stay in seclusion for ten days, half a month, or even several years. It's too lonely..."
The quest for the path to ascension is inherently lonely.
What does this little bit of hardship mean?
It can shelter you from wind and rain, and when you open your eyes there are countless sword intentions waiting for you to comprehend. Some people from the Sword Sect want to come to Wunian Peak but cannot.
Gu Jingyun couldn't help laughing, but it always felt good to be cared for by others.
What’s more, this person is Jiang Yan.
He teased, "Then when I come back for retreat in the future, will A-Yan come to accompany me?"
Jiang Yan nodded without hesitation: "Okay."
"I was just kidding. How could I bear to see you stay in a place like this?"
Gu Jingyun gently tapped the young man's forehead, and when the young man deliberately made a "hissing" sound, he said, "I didn't use any force" and leaned over to kiss the place that was tapped.
Jiang Yan said: "Brother, you are so brave."
Gu Jingyun was puzzled: "Huh?"
Jiang Yan pointed to the most conspicuous sword mark on the steep cliff.
"How dare you kiss me in front of my father."
Gu Jingyun: "..."
The young man pointed again to where they were standing.
"This is where my father meditated and practiced thousands of years ago."
Gu Jingyun laughed dryly.
Just as he was about to say a few words to get away with it, he saw Jiang Yan grabbing his collar and pulling him to bend over.
"Ayan——?" the man was surprised.
Jiang Yan raised his face and took the initiative to put his lips on the other person's lips.
The young man said vaguely:
"Just kiss, who cares."
"As for love and romance, I just want to be happy with it!"
