Chapter 279 The Incense is Broken
"Miss Jiang, from today on, the Demon-Slaying Sword is yours, and you are its master." Qiu Guangzhao walked up to Jiang Yunxi and said very respectfully.
The ancestor said that whoever takes the Demon-Slaying Sword must be there in person.
"Really?" Jiang Yunxi was a little surprised. Since the other party offered it to her, she would naturally accept it. The Demon-Slaying Sword could kill all evil spirits and was a good weapon.
After hearing this, the others present looked at Qiu Guangzhao and asked him why he gave the Demon-Slaying Sword to Jiang Yunxi. She was not from the Kunlun Sect, so how could he give the sect's treasure to an outsider?
Qiu Guangzhao looked at everyone with dignity, "The Grandmaster said that whoever holds the Demon Slayer Sword will be its master, and the person holding the sword must be treated as if he were the one himself."
He can't be the only one who respects Jiang Yunxi.
They all had to respect her.
Everyone: “…”
It’s like the founder himself is here. What a treat!
Jiang Yunxi is so lucky. He gets such special treatment just by obtaining the Demon-Slaying Sword. You know, they don’t get such treatment even if they practice well in Kunlun Sect.
The ancestor was a god-like existence to them. It was he who founded the Kunlun Sect, which gave them the opportunity to embark on the path of Taoism.
"Since your ancestor said so, I will take the Demon-Slaying Sword." Jiang Yunxi said bluntly, it would be a waste if he didn't want it.
"The founder also said that if you put away the sword, you must protect Kunlun Sect." Qiu Guangzhao looked at her and said word by word. This was not something he added on the spur of the moment.
This is exactly what the ancestor’s letter said.
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
"We'll return the sword after we're done using it." Zhan Beiyuan walked forward and said, he didn't want her to bear any more responsibilities.
"She has just agreed to take the Demon-Slaying Sword." Qiu Guangzhao did not give anyone a chance to regret. He was not stupid. The person who could take the Demon-Slaying Sword was definitely not an ordinary person.
The founder must have known this long ago, which is why he made such a request and asked the sword-bearer to protect the Kunlun Sect.
It’s really great that our ancestors had foresight!
"You didn't say before that the person holding the sword should protect Kunlun Sect." Zhan Beiyuan still didn't want her to take that responsibility.
"Okay, I agree." Jiang Yunxi said after considering it. As long as she can continue to live, she will help if Kunlun Sect gets into trouble in the future.
"You..." Zhan Beiyuan looked at her.
"It's okay, I can do it." Jiang Yunxi gave him a light smile.
Qiu Guangzhao looked at Jiang Yunxi and smiled, "Miss Jiang, since you are willing to become the master of the Demon Slayer Sword, why don't you go and pay homage to the ancestor? This Demon Slayer Sword belongs to the ancestor."
"Okay." Jiang Yunxi felt that he should go, since he had taken someone else's things anyway.
Hunyuan Hall.
Qiu Guangzhao took Jiang Yunxi inside. There was a very lush old tree in the yard. Although it was winter, it was still lush and green, full of vitality.
"This tree was planted by our ancestor. It's been a long time since it was planted, and it's always green all year round." Qiu Guangzhao saw her staring at the tree and introduced it to her.
"It looks like a sacred tree." Jiang Yunxi praised with a smile. Kunlun Mountain is at a high altitude and the temperature on the mountain is very low. It is definitely extraordinary that the tree can still look like this in winter.
"The ancestor did say that it was a sacred tree and asked us to take good care of it. Please come in." Qiu Guangzhao gestured for her to go inside. This was the ancestor's residence.
After he passed away, it has been empty.
Jiang Yunxi walked towards the main hall of Hunyuan Hall. As soon as he entered, he saw a huge portrait of an old man with white hair and white eyebrows.
The old man looked solemn and righteous, wearing a loose Taoist robe with fluttering sleeves. He had the air of an immortal and exuded an aura of transcendence from the world.
You can tell at first glance that he is a master.
She walked forward and took three incense sticks. Strangely, as soon as she lit them, the incense went out automatically. She continued to light the incense, unwilling to believe it, but it went out again as soon as she lit it.
"This..." Qiu Guangzhao opened his eyes wide with a strange expression.
"You try it." Jiang Yunxi handed him the incense in her hand.
Qiu Guangzhao took the incense and used it to light the burning candle. The incense burned quickly, but it did not go out. "It didn't go out. Why did it go out when you lit it?"
Jiang Yunxi stared at the portrait in front of him, a thoughtful look on his face.
"Is it that the ancestor doesn't approve of you holding the Demon-Slaying Sword?" Qiu Guangzhao suddenly thought of this, and it might be true.
Otherwise, why couldn't Jiang Yunxi light the incense?
At this moment, all the incense in his hand broke.
Jiang Yunxi took a look and said jokingly, "Your ancestor must not agree with what you said, so the incense has been cut off."
Qiu Guangzhao: “…”
"How did your ancestor die?" Jiang Yunxi asked.
"He died of old age." Qiu Guangzhao said.
Jiang Yunxi took three more incense sticks and lit them, but they went out again. She looked at the portrait and said, "If you want to see me, let me light the incense."
After she finished speaking, she lit the incense again.
This time the incense was lit and did not go out.
Qiu Guangzhao was stunned. How could this be possible?
Jiang Yunxi had a guess in her mind that the founder of Kunlun Sect wanted to see her. She took the incense and walked forward to bow, but before she bowed, the incense broke.
"What, what's going on?" This was the first time Qiu Guangzhao had seen such a strange thing.
"Your ancestor may not have died of old age, or he may have regrets. I want to see him." Jiang Yunxi did not go to light incense again. She had agreed to see him, so why not let her worship him?
"See, see him. The ancestor has passed away for hundreds of years..." Qiu Guangzhao's mouth twitched slightly.
"Where is he buried?" Jiang Yunxi asked.
"It's in the back mountain of Hunyuan Hall." Qiu Guangzhao said. The place was chosen by the founder himself. After he passed away, the sect buried him there according to his request.
"Take me there, I want to open the coffin and see him." Jiang Yunxi said directly.
Qiu Guangzhao's expression changed, and he said seriously, "Miss Jiang, opening the ancestor's coffin is a serious matter. Even if I am the head of the sect, I cannot make the decision."
Jiang Yunxi looked at him and said, "Then call all the people who can make the decision. You just saw it. It was your ancestor who wanted to see me."
Qiu Guangzhao: “…”
After a while.
All the influential people from Kunlun Sect came.
"Open the founder's coffin? What do you want to do?" Gu Qiu said coldly. Don't think that she can do whatever she wants in Kunlun Sect just because she got the Demon-Slaying Sword.
She thought she was not a good person, as she actually wanted to disturb the sleeping ancestor.
Others also disagreed.
"I agree." Lingyin Zhenren said that Jiang Yunxi would not open the coffin for no reason.
"I, I agree too." Ling Xuzi followed.
Others: “…”
Jiang Yunxi walked to the altar with three incense sticks, looked at the portrait and said, "If you agree to let me open your coffin, then I won't be able to light the incense in my hand."
After she finished speaking, she took the incense and tried to light it, but no matter how she touched the candle flame, the incense would not light.
Everyone: “…”
Jiang Yunxi put down the incense in his hand and said calmly, "This is the decision of your ancestor. It's not me who wants to open the coffin. Do you want to go against the ancestor's wishes?"
After thinking it over in his mind, Qiu Guangzhao said, "Open the coffin."
The group arrived at the back mountain of Hunyuan Hall, where there was a stone mausoleum. Qiu Guangzhao walked forward and opened the mechanism, and the stone door slowly moved away.
"Miss Jiang, please..." said Qiu Guangzhao.
Jiang Yunxi walked straight in. There were candles burning on the wall. As he walked forward, a bronze coffin appeared in everyone's sight. The tomb was very ordinary.
Apart from the bronze coffin which looked valuable, there were no other valuable burial objects.
"Come here and open the coffin." Jiang Yunxi said to Qiu Guangzhao.
Qiu Guangzhao's mouth twitched slightly, and he had to take people to open the coffin. Before opening the coffin, everyone prayed in their hearts, asking the ancestor not to blame them, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not open the coffin lid.
"Miss Jiang, it can't be opened..." Qiu Guangzhao said they tried their best.
Jiang Yunxi walked forward and reached out to touch the bronze coffin. Soul-locking chain?
