The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 26 Master and his wife are emo

At the hour of Shu, the sky was completely dark, with sparse stars hanging high in the night sky, and the cold winter weather made it seem particularly quiet and lonely!
In the stone chamber of the cave, a bonfire was burning and a warm atmosphere filled the air.

However, Yue Buqun and his wife followed the youngest disciple holding the torch with serious looks on their faces and walked into the long and narrow corridor.

The stone chamber soon returned to its former tranquility, with only the crackling sound of burning wood in the campfire being heard from time to time.

Linghu Chong, who was standing in the corner, let out a long sigh and sat down on a big rock beside the campfire with a complicated expression.

His mind was still recalling the conversation between his junior fellow apprentice and the master and his mistress. The shock and excitement in his heart were still surging like the tide.

After a long while, he sighed softly, "No wonder Junior Brother said that it was a great secret that shook the world. Just hearing a few words from the sidelines made me tremble with fear and unable to calm down. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."

In the downward sloping corridor.
Holding a torch, Xu Xingchen led his master and his mistress to a spacious stone cave in the mountain.

Yue Buqun and his wife lit two torches one after another, walked to a nearby stone wall, and observed the carvings on it. Soon, exclamations were heard.

"Humph, it turns out these people are the ten great elders of the Demon Cult!"

"Break all the sword techniques of the Five Mountains Sword Sect? Such an arrogant tone!"

"Brother, here are many lost sword techniques of our sect!"

".This is impossible. How could my 'Unparalleled and Unrivaled, Ning Style Sword' appear here? Even if someone before me created a similar sword technique, how could it be easily broken by such a weird move?!"

"The endless falling trees were also destroyed by someone."

"A phoenix has arrived."

"The ancient cypresses are dense."

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze stood in front of the stone carving of Huashan swordsmanship, looking at the pairs of small human figures on it. The more they looked, the more frightened they became; the more they looked, the more terrified they became. By the end, their faces turned pale, their bodies trembled, and cold sweat dripped down, soaking their inner clothes.

Although the young disciples had taken precautions in advance, when they actually saw the Huashan sword techniques on the stone wall being broken one by one by a stick, they couldn't help but feel a sense of despair as "there is no greater sorrow than a dead heart".

When they thought about the skills they had practiced their whole lives, only to suddenly realize that they were useless, the huge psychological gap made their vision blurred, and the scenery and sounds around them seemed to be rapidly fading away.

A feeling of despair that keeps falling into the dark abyss grows wildly from the depths of the soul!

Different from Xu Xingchen's rigid condition of "foresight", he also has extensive knowledge and broad horizons acquired in his previous life.

This world is still in a decadent and outdated era where people act conservatively, think rigidly, and value things passed down by their ancestors more than their own lives.

The ideas and concepts that Yue Buqun and his wife had built up throughout their lives collapsed at this moment, with an impact no less than that of an apple hitting Newton's head. This was the first time that people heard of Copernicus' heliocentric theory.

Even when Linghu Chong in the book saw the carvings on the stone wall for the first time, he was so frightened that his hands and feet became weak, his mind was confused, and he had deep doubts about his own sect's swordsmanship. He was devastated and sunk into depression for several months. If Feng Qingyang had not finally awakened him, he didn't know when he would have come out of it.

At this moment, Yue Buqun and his wife, whose heads were several times more rigid than Linghu Chong's young brain, suffered a blow that was even greater and more severe than Linghu Chong's!
It was simply a complete complete upheaval, and words were not enough to describe the emotional changes in their hearts!
On the side, Xu Xingchen looked at the reactions of the two and couldn't help feeling a little worried. The impact that the carvings on the stone wall brought to the two was obviously beyond his expectations.

"Was my vaccination before entering the cave in vain?!" Xu Xingchen was secretly distressed. He knew that he could not let the two of them stay here any longer, so he hurried forward and called softly: "Master! Master's wife! Wake up!" "Master! Wake up!"

"Master's wife, wake up!"

Xu Xingchen called this one and then that one, and after a busy period, he finally called back the lost souls of the two people.

Seeing that both of them turned to look at him, Xu Xingchen carefully suggested: "Master! Master's wife, let's go out first!"

Both of them were silent, with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

Seeing this, Xu Xingchen stepped forward and extinguished the torches in their hands, then turned around and walked out, holding his own torch.

The two people behind him followed the only light ahead and slowly walked out of the cave.

Back in the cave on the Cliff of Repentance, Linghu Chong stood up after hearing the noise and said to Xu Xingchen, who came out first, with a smile: "Junior brother, you and Master and his wife are out!"

When he saw his master and his mistress, who looked like zombies and lost their souls, his face suddenly changed and he cried out in shock: "Master! Master's wife! What happened to you? How did you become like this?"

Hearing this, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze just raised their heads and glanced at their eldest disciple with confused eyes, as if they didn't recognize him.

Linghu Chong felt a chill rising from his tailbone and quickly rushing to his forehead, frightening him so much that his scalp was tingling and his heart was in a state of panic. He then turned his head abruptly and looked at Xu Xingchen, stuttering and asking in a trembling voice, "Little Junior Brother, what happened to Master and his wife? Could it be that they were possessed by evil spirits?"

Xu Xingchen smiled helplessly and said, "Don't panic, Senior Brother! I didn't expect that the secret in the cave in the mountain would have such a big impact on Master and his wife's mind!"

Seeing that Linghu Chong was still anxious, he continued to comfort him, "But don't worry too much. Take a night's rest and wake up tomorrow morning. Master and Master's Wife should be better!"

"Is that so?" Linghu Chong had a look of doubt on his face, but he had no choice but to carefully guide Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze together with Xu Xingchen to sit on the big rock beside the campfire.

Perhaps it was the bright jumping fireworks from the bonfire that brought a touch of vivid and warm color to the two people's hearts that were trapped in darkness and despair. After a while, there was less confusion in their eyes and more agility. As time passed quietly, they slowly fell asleep leaning against the stone wall.

Xu Xingchen and Linghu Chong, who had been guarding nearby, looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The hearts that had been stuck in their throats finally relaxed a little.

"I hope Master and his wife won't have gray hair overnight."

Xu Xingchen’s nonsensical idea did not appear, but when Yue Buqun and his wife woke up the next morning, they fell into an "emo" state at the same time.

Yue Buqun stood on the edge of the cliff, gazing at the Huashan peaks in the distance. His originally elegant and steady face was filled with sadness and sorrow: "Chong'er, Xingchen, you said that life is only a few decades long, what is the meaning of living?"

Linghu Chong and Xu Xingchen looked at each other in bewilderment. After a moment, Xu Xingchen said with a stiff upper lip: "The purpose of living is to experience life!"

Yue Buqun laughed coldly and murmured, "After decades of hard work, you are now a laughing stock in one day?"

Ning Zhongze, who was standing aside, looked towards the main hall of Huashan Mountain with a worried look on his face: "Lingshan should be up by now. Before I knew it, the child has grown up. In two years, when she is an adult, I will let her marry Chong'er. When they have a child, I will take care of the child for them on the mountain!"

When Linghu Chong heard this, he felt both sad and happy. His flushed face showed mixed emotions and he was speechless for a moment!
Xu Xingchen slapped himself on the forehead in annoyance, thinking to himself: "I should have given them two more vaccinations or delayed the process for a few more days."
