The light in the great hall was still as usual, slightly di three joss sticks in his hands, respectfully bowing to the countless founders and ancestors’ spirit tablets, then stepped forward and placed the joss sticks into the incense burner on the altar table
Beside him, stood a shabby old ht shone on his face, lines of deep wrinkles seemed to be incised onto his face
DaoXuan turned his head over, his eyes landed on his face, suddenly said, ”You seeain”
That old man expressionlessly, indifferently said, ”The tied, what is so queer about it?”
DaoXuan smiled, looked like he wanted to continue but suddenly a voice was heard froYu is back and have cos to senior”
DaoXuan frowned slightly and did not speak, that old man unhurriedly walked up but did not leave the hall, he raised his voice slightly and said, ”Oh it’s you, when did you come back?”
Outside, Lin JingYu respectfully replied, ”Disciple ca to sect head, disciple first return to Long Shou Valley to greet sect leader senior brother, once free disciple careet senior”
A faint smile seemed to appear on the old man’s lips, he said, ”Oh, I see You wait outside for a while, I still have a guest here”
Lin JingYu seemed to be surprised, the Founders Ancestral Hall rarely had visitors, unexpectedly there was one today But he had trained under this arded hied and quietly went aside to wait
Reverend DaoXuan slowly took a few steps, stood in the great hall’s shadows, looking out fro the Dragon Slayer Sword on his back, wearing a long robe, a jade belt around his waist, a handso face, respectfully stood by the side of Founders Ancestral Hall and patiently waited
He quietly watched for a while and said, ”This child really has good potential, regardless whether it’s aptitude, character, they are all good quality”
That old ish, he walked to him and too looked out, said, ”Then why didn’t you recruit him to your branch at that time?”
Reverend DaoXuan watched Lin JingYu fro froave off a vitality and trenchant air, standing out from the rest
Reverend DaoXuan suddenly laughed, a laugh that was very very insipid and then turned around, facing that old man, ”Because he is so like someone, the temperament, expression, even his aptitude, are so alike that person If I allow him to be by my side, I will not be able to sleep”
The old man’s face beside him, suddenly twitched
Reverend DaoXuan glance at hi time, suddenly he shook his head, s with you!” he had just completed his sentence when he suddenly frowned, his hand pressing onto his chest, quietly coughed a few times
That old htly pale face, indifferently said, ”It has already been ten years, your wound still has not recovered?”
Reverend DaoXuan did not speak but his coughs gradually beca while, his coughs slowly subsided
Reverend DaoXuan heaved a long sigh, turned around and no longer watched Lin JingYu, he walked to the altar which enshrined the countless Qing Yun Hill’s ancestors spirit tablets, stared for a while and then quietly said, ”I too did not expect that the rebound force from ‘Zhu Xian Sword’ was that powerful!”
That old man sloalked over, stretched his hand to take a cloth and started to gently wipe the heavy altar table while saying, ”Zhu Xian Sword’s power is so ih to go against Heaven, this type of tyrannical object, strongly violate the Heaven’s will, when you were using the Zhu Xian Ancient Sword, you should have knew it already”
Reverend DaoXuan lightly said, ”Of course I knew it, on the stone tablet inside the Illusory Moon Cave, ever since fro Ye founder, the successive forefathers all had left stern warning, unless it is the last resort, if not never touch the sword!”
That old man sloiped the altar table, his movement extremely slow, as if he had wiped like this for many years and could therefore had such concentration His eyes looked at the table top, suddenly sht before, maybe if you use the Zhu Xian Ancient Sword more frequently, maybe you will die earlier than me”
Reverend DaoXuan looked at the old ure, his eyes pupils suddenly shrank, after a while, he slowly turned and headed towards outside
”Are you leaving already?” that old htly desolated voice was heard behind him
Reverend DaoXuan stopped but he did not turn back, after aunhurriedly, ”Do you still remember the words I said to you when I saved you?”
That old man stood in the dark shadows, did not answer
Reverend DaoXuan also did not turn back, inside the Founders Ancestral Hall, a strange at while, Reverend DaoXuan’s voice was heard speaking indifferently, ”I saved you, was because I owed you but I will not let you live longer than me!”
That old , Reverend DaoXuan walked out, leaving that Founders Ancestral Hall
