413 Summer Blues
It was just a few faint sentences, but the rest was unclear.
Li Fan only guessed that it had something to do with the secret chamber. Does this Hua Shan Sect also have a secret chamber? It was not a good question to ask Chen Junhua.
”Brother Li, please look. This is our Hua Shan's Sword Burying Pool.”
Chen Junhua pointed to a large pond in front of them. Even though it was a pond, there was not a single drop of water inside. The snow had also been swept clean. This place was filled with all kinds of treasured swords. Some were long and some were short, some were big and some were small. At a glance, it truly did look like the tomb of a treasured sword.
”This is where I found my Edgeless Sword.”
Chen Junhua seemed to sigh with emotion, ”It feels like it wasn't me who chose it, but me.”
”Yeah, yeah. My charming sword was also chosen here!”
Xia Zhou also joined in the fun, ”My charming sword is much more beautiful than Third Senior Brother's Edgeless Sword!”
As she spoke, Xia Yi pulled out her sword from the scabbard by her waist.
Li Fan looked at it. The enchanting sword's body was a bit more slender, and the cloud patterns on the blade were also very exquisite. Under the dazzling sunlight, it was truly quite beautiful.
”Don't pursue anything flashy.”
Chen Junhua reminded his junior sister.
”Hmph hmph, just having face is enough!”
”Third Senior Brother is obviously jealous of me!”
”Girl, you …”
Chen Junhua took his own junior sister and felt helpless, but Li Fan couldn't help but want to laugh. Having a junior sister was quite an interesting thing. However, he had no sect or school of his own. It was impossible for such a legendary creature like his Junior Sister to exist.
”Since we're already at the Sword Burying Pool, why not choose a treasured sword that you like?”
”Is this appropriate?”
Li Fan was a little surprised. No matter how many treasured swords the Hua Shan Sect had, they couldn't just casually gift them to others right?
”Don't worry.”
Chen Junhua pointed to all the swords in the pond, ”As the saying goes, a sword is a gift to a hero. I, Hua Shan, have had this kind of tradition since ancient times. In the Hua Shan Sect's Sword Burying Pool, not only are there the swords left behind by our seniors, there are also the chivalrous heroes and experts outside. They can also bury their treasured swords in my Buried Sword Pool. At the same time, the experts outside could also choose a treasured sword that they liked from the Sword Burying Pool … However, like I said, it is not that we choose the sword, it is that the sword chooses us. ”
”That's right, it's very difficult to choose a sword from the Buried Sword Pool!”
Xia Zhou also said, ”Don't be happy first, there will be some pain for you then, hmph!”
”Alright then. Since you all said so, then I'll give it a try.”
Li Fan rolled up his sleeves and walked into the Sword Burying Pool. Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of oppression coming from the pool.
They were obviously dead creatures, why did they give him so much pressure?
Li Fan felt a bit strange. He had never felt such a feeling before. In front of him were all the treasured swords, all quietly inserted into the soil. However, Li Fan didn't know why, but he felt that these treasured swords seemed to have come to life the moment he stepped into the room!
All the swords began to hum, as if something was being transmitted between them, yet it also seemed to be repelling Li Fan.
Li Fan reached out his hand towards one of the swords, but a stream of sword Qi suddenly shot out towards Li Fan.
”Clang!”
Li Fan used his crane hand to slap away the sword qi. The sword qi hit the treasured sword at the side, letting out a crisp sound, as if it was playing a chilling melody.
”So that's how it is.”
Li Fan understood clearly that this was probably what it meant to choose a sword.
”Is everyone going to resist me like this?”
Li Fan looked at these constantly trembling treasured swords, feeling somewhat amazed.
”Hehe, that's why I said it. Wanting to get our Hua Shan Sect's treasured sword is not that easy.”
Li Fan did not insist. He withdrew from the Sword Burying Pool.
”It seems that I really do not have the talent to use swords.”
”Brother Li is being modest. Why not try again?”
Chen Junhua really hoped that Li Fan would choose a sword and spar with him.
”Forget it, I'm indeed not too suitable to use a sword.”
