Chapter 153 Sword Tomb
Chapter 153 Sword Tomb
Baoyin stuck out her tongue, hugged Mu Heyu, and Mu Heyu tapped her head.
Shan Ling immediately helped Gu Lan up, put the washed towel to Gu Lan's mouth and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"You were in a coma for half a month. Tonight, you suddenly started shaking all over. No matter how hard we tried to wake you up, I was lucky that Ji Yanli used the golden needle to wake you up."
Gu Lan saw Ji Yanli. He was still the same, but a little more calm. There were some green beards at the corners of his mouth that had not been trimmed cleanly. He looked a little vicissitudes of life. Perhaps he had put a lot of effort into this competition.
But she didn't know that Ji Yanli was like this because he was worried about her and had no time to take care of himself.
Ji Yanli had to report every day and was worried about Gu Lan's condition, but he could not go in, so he had to wait there. It was not until recently that the scars on Gu Lan's face had basically disappeared that he was allowed to enter the room.
Gu Lan had no idea about this. When she heard that Ji Yanli used the golden needle to help her, she was very grateful and said in a dry voice, "Ahem, thank you very much."
Ji Yanli looked down at Gu Lan.
His thoughts were hidden in friendship, making it difficult for people to discern. Most importantly, he didn't dare let Gu Lan discern clearly. He was afraid of being directly rejected by Gu Lan like Ling Yebai, and then he would have no chance again.
This deep thought disturbed his heart, making him feel as if he was suspended in the sky. If he could not win Gu Lan's heart, he would stay suspended there forever...
Gu Lan's words brought Ji Yanli back to deep thought. Ji Yanli laughed, "What are you thanking me for? I had this problem when I was a child. The elderly in my family used gold needles to stimulate the base of my thumb, and it got better."
Gu Lan nodded and looked around.
She saw Yun Tiannan and his fellow junior fellow apprentices standing at the end of the bed, saw Shan Ling hugging her, saw Baoyin pulling Mu Heyu's arm, saw A Xiu standing next to Mu Heyu and looking at her with a smile, saw Ji Yanli standing tall and gracefully with joy in her eyes, saw Shao Yu and Zhu Wenbo standing behind Ji Yanli with bright eyes, and saw Guo Shu and others at the door, and suddenly she wanted to cry.
Along the way, these people who got to know each other eventually became good friends.
Perhaps in the past, only people from Qianjimen stood behind Gu Lan.
But now she has these reliable friends standing behind her.
Shan Ling saw that her eyes were red, and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Gu Lan felt embarrassed and lowered her head, "I feel a little... a headache."
"Then lie down first, it's better to lie down." Shan Ling put Gu Lan on the bed and pressed the quilt. "Maybe you haven't recovered yet. Have a good rest tonight. It should be almost recovered tomorrow. Master Shanshui also checked you. You are lucky. The meridians that were broken during the tribulation have healed on their own. Not only that, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Your meridians are better than before. I think you are born with good fortune and a deep affinity with immortals. Maybe you can even ascend to heaven in the future."
"Crossing the tribulation?" Gu Lan murmured, "I have broken through the realm?"
"Ah?" Baoyin suddenly cried, "Senior Sister Gu, don't you remember anything?"
"I just have a headache. I think I was competing with Lingyao, and then... and then... hiss, my head hurts so much." Gu Lan tried hard to recall, but she only remembered that she had a competition with Lingyao. However, she couldn't remember how the competition went, what the process was like, and what the result was.
"Could it be that his brain was damaged?" Shao Yu leaned close to Ji Yanli's ear and said, "This is the first time I've seen someone lose their memory after being struck by lightning."
"She just lost that part of her memory. Maybe it will be fine in a few days." Zhu Wenbo shook his head.
Ji Yanli ignored Shao Yu and looked at Gu Lan and said, "Not only did you break through, but you broke through two levels. Now you have reached the initial stage of Nascent Soul. I guess you haven't recovered all of a sudden. You should be fine after a few days of rest... If you have a headache, don't worry about it."
"Hmm." Gu Lan hummed, lying on the bed, "I didn't expect that I could break through two levels in a row, tsk tsk."
……
Everyone was silent for a moment.
This person is really annoying!
Among the disciples of similar age, Ling Yebai also broke through in this competition and reached the initial stage of Nascent Soul, the same as Gu Lan.
Ji Yanli and Zhu Wenbo are in the late Jindan stage, while the others are still in the fusion stage.
In this way, Gu Lan has left everyone far behind.
People who practice Taoism pay the most attention to realm. Now that Ling Yebai and Gu Lan have broken through one after another, it would be a lie to say that they are not envious. However, even though they are envious, they really don't have such blessing.
Some people achieve a breakthrough while playing, while some people grow old while playing. The key is that they still haven’t achieved a breakthrough even when they are old.
Seeing that Gu Lan was a little tired, Shan Ling stood up and said, "Okay, you should have a good rest. We will come to see you tomorrow. You should get better soon. Let's go to the Sword Tomb together!"
"Okay." Gu Lan smiled and waved to everyone, and everyone dispersed.
Seeing Yun Tiannan walking at the end, Gu Lan called out "Master", and Yun Tiannan stopped.
"Master, what was I like when I was a child? I...seem to have forgotten a little."
Yun Tiannan turned around and looked at Gu Lan's pale little face. He remembered the tattered little girl he first saw.
In the freezing cold weather, she was wearing tattered clothes and begging on the street. The wind blew her small body to the ground, and the winter snow mercilessly covered her small body.
Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs. In such a world, death is a very common thing.
"Master, tell me about it." Gu Lan said.
Gu Lan's words sounded a lot like when he was sick as a child and asked him to tell a story.
Yun Tiannan's heart moved and he looked at Gu Lan.
Is the original Gu Lan dead? Is he dead? Whose soul is this apprentice?
The soul of an outsider...?
Yun Tiannan was actually a little uncertain.
For a moment, he actually strongly hoped that Gu Lan at this moment was the little girl he rescued that year.
But is that possible?
The Gu Lan in front of him was the kind of person he desperately hoped his apprentice would grow up to be. She was confident, self-reliant, diligent and tenacious. Yun Tiannan thought of the Gu Lan of the past and realized that she lacked these qualities.
Gu Lan in front of me...
It made him feel a little familiar, yet also strange.
The last part of the fragment was lost, and he only had the first half. At that time, he was so sad and desperate that he decided to let his disciples sacrifice themselves and go to the outside world to find a solution. Later, he regretted it but could not...
Yun Tiannan's mind was a little confused, but the requirements of an apprentice were not difficult. He suppressed the anger in his heart, sat next to Gu Lan, and told her stories about his childhood as if he were a child.
The Xuantian Sword Sect made a lot of preparations for this competition, and the subsequent commendation conference was also held in a lively manner. Each sect was also asked to accept a few non-sectarian disciples for this conference, which was considered to be the fulfillment of the pre-match promise.
Afterwards, the Xuantian Sword Sect opened the secret realm of the Sword Tomb.
Most sword practitioners chose to enter the sword tomb.
Most of the others entered the treasure pavilion of Xuantian Sword Sect.
The Sword Tomb Secret Realm was originally an ancient sword tomb, where sword cultivators in ancient times buried their swords. Later, the founder of the Xuantian Sword Sect designated this place as the burial place of the Xuantian Sword Sect's swords.
On the one hand, the swords of the fallen or deceased sword masters in the Xuantian Sword Sect can be buried here; on the other hand, the ownerless immortal swords in the world can be collected here, waiting for the destined disciples in the future to come and test the swords.
The Xuantian Sword Sect has opened the secret realm of the Sword Tomb many times. Many swords of some disciples and managing uncles in this sect and other sects also came from the Sword Tomb.
The immortal swords in this sword tomb have the purest energy of the predecessors and will be of great benefit to immortal cultivators, so sword cultivators are also looking forward to the sword tomb.
Gu Lan and others saw the secret realm opened and flew up on their swords.
Many talented people emerged in this session. The fierce competition made them compete with each other and appreciate each other. Some of them have already become good friends.
The immortal swords of the disciples were as bright as meteors and suddenly flew towards the direction of the sword tomb. After the sword energy passed, dozens of sword shadows were left in the sky, which was very beautiful.
"This sword tomb is really big, with so many swords!" Although Shan Ling was not from the top five sects, she joined the outer sect of Xuantian Sword Sect on the last day and was considered one of its disciples, so she had this opportunity.
Gu Lan looked up. The place was filled with fairy mist. Fairy swords were either flying freely in the clouds, or inserted into the cliffs, or forming a sword formation on top of giant trees. In short, the sword lights were flying, dazzling the eyes.
"What a wonderful sword tomb! I hope I can pick out a peerless sword!" Xue Hao said with joy in his eyes.
"I didn't expect to be able to come in. We have to choose carefully!" Xu Fengxi is already rubbing his hands.
Gu Lan smiled helplessly and was about to say "Be careful and don't talk nonsense" when he heard a sarcastic voice in his ears.
"Hmph." Lingyao snorted with her lips curled not far away.
Gu Lan looked over there, Lingyao was also looking over there, their eyes made contact.
Lingyao looked carefully at Gu Lan's eyes and found that there was nothing wrong with the way she looked at her.
Is it true that she has lost her memory as they said?
