After acknowledging Qin Shuang as his master, Yang Mingru immediately gathered the villagers in the village. Although Qin Shuang did not want to be too ostentatious, Yang Mingru said,"My Yang clan is connected by the same roots. If we prosper, we will prosper. If we lose, we will lose. Our ancestors left behind their last words.”
There is a bronze bell in Yang's ancestral temple, which has been around for more than 800 years.
In the past eight hundred years, this bronze bell had never rung once.
"Thump, thump, thump…"
"It's the sound of the bronze bell."
"Clan Leader rang the bronze bell?"
"Quick, don't be busy. Let's go to the ancestral shrine first…"
As the sound of the bronze bell filled the air, everyone in the village, from the elderly in their nineties to the naughty children who had just returned, regardless of gender, put down what they were doing at the first moment and rushed towards the ancestral shrine.
"It's the sound of the bronze bell. How did you get there so quickly?"
Yu Niang, who had just led the attendant out of the peach blossom forest, was shocked.
"Yu Niang, did something happen in the manor?"
"Yes, something big has happened."
"Oh? Then why are you still standing there? Let's hurry back…"
Before Ji Ruxue could use her lightness skill to leave, Yu Niang had already stopped her.
Seeing Yu Niang staring at her with burning eyes, Ji Ruxue couldn't help but wonder,""Could it be that Qin Shuang and Yang Mingru fought?”
"Yu Niang, what are you doing?"
"Ruxue, I'm two years older than you. Now that Father has recognized a wise ruler, the members of the Yang family will also serve Young Master Qin Shuang. In this way, our masters will be the same.”
"Master? Is this true?"
"This bronze bell has been around for more than eight hundred years. Our ancestors left behind their last words, saying that the day the bronze bell rings will be the day our Yang family members enter the official ranks.”
"Oh? So that was the case. Yu Niang, I'm not used to calling you sister, but you can call me sister or Xue 'er.”
"Hehe, alright then. I won't refuse.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Niang held Ji Ruxue's hand and rushed towards the ancestral shrine at full speed.
In just a few minutes, all the Yang Family members had gathered in front of the Yang Family ancestral shrine.
While everyone was secretly watching, they saw Yang Mingru personally lead Qin Shuang to a sacrificial platform in front of them.
"My Yang ancestors had last words: Choose a wise lord, ring the bronze bell, serve the wise lord, and the entire clan will respond. "It has been more than 800 years since our ancestors lived in seclusion here. Today is the fortune of my Yang clan, but it is also unfortunate. Because today is over, all the children of my Yang clan, as long as they are strong and strong, will follow me to serve by the side of City Lord Qinshuang.”
As soon as Yang Mingru finished speaking, the Yang family members below the stage all looked at Qin Shuang.
Not a single person whispered in their ears, and not a single person was discussing. It was as if they were waiting for something.
Just as Qin Shuang was puzzled, Yang Mingru suddenly bowed and said,"My lord, before my Yang ancestor went into seclusion, he came across an ancient sword. However, since it was sealed in the sword tomb 800 years ago, no one has seen its true appearance or heard of its name. The ancestors said that if this sword was born, it would meet a good master. I wonder if my lord has the heart to go to the sword tomb.”
When Yang Mingru said these words, Qin Shuang could clearly feel that everyone present was staring at her with anticipation.
Not to mention Yang Mingru's entire clan's loyalty, just the word 'ancient sword' alone made Qin Shuang interested in finding out.
"Old Man Yang, as the saying goes, even blood brothers have to settle accounts. Let's make things clear first. If I find a sword, I won't give it to you either…"
Qin Shuang joked. As her words fell, laughter rose from the scene.
"My lord, any member of the Yang family can go to the sword tomb to search for the sword. However, after more than 800 years, no one has found this sword. If my lord is looking for this sword, it is destined by the heavens. Even if you give it to me, I wouldn't dare to accept it.”
After saying that, Yang Mingru once again personally led Qin Shuang down the altar.
Facing everyone's eager gazes, Qin Shuang arrived at the Yang family's ancestral shrine.
"This is the Sword Tomb?"
"My lord, the ancestors left behind their last words, saying that the ancestral shrine is the sword tomb.”
After getting Yang Mingru's confirmation, Qin Shuang walked into the ancestral hall alone with some hope even though he was secretly disappointed.
The ancestral hall had existed for more than 800 years. Not only did it consecrate the memorial tablets of the Yang family's ancestors, but it also included every member of the Yang family.
It was worth mentioning that in this era where men were superior to women, the Yang family did not have the concept of 'men were superior to women'. Instead, they believed in' equality between men and women'. The memorial tablets of men and women in the ancestral hall were proof of this.
The ancestral hall occupied a large area. Although the layout was relatively simple, it was spotless. In addition, the continuous incense offerings in the ancestral hall proved that: "Every day, people come here to burn incense. This place has never been desolate or deserted.”
After entering the ancestral hall, Qin Shuang first took out three incense sticks and then paid her respects to the ancestors of the Yang family and their master in heaven.
After doing all this, Qin Shuang began to look for the ancient sword that Yang Mingru had mentioned.
The ancestral hall was a place to worship the spirits of the ancestors in heaven. Logically speaking, it was not suitable to place weapons such as swords in the ancestral hall. However, since it was a sword tomb, the Yang ancestors must have had a deeper meaning for doing so.
Qin Shuang took a step forward and watched as she leisurely walked in the ancestral hall.
"Yu Niang, is the ancestral hall really a sword tomb?”
"Yes. These were the last words of their ancestors, so they probably couldn't be fake.”
"What kind of sword is that ancient sword? Have you seen it?"
"Xue 'er, to be honest with you, in order to find this ancient sword, I used to come here two or three times a day. I am like this, father is like this, and the Yang family members in the village are like this. Unfortunately, the opportunity has not arrived, so we can't find it.”
Ji Ruxue liked swords, which was one of her few interests.
At this moment, if not for her fear of the Yang family, Ji Ruxue would have gone to the ancestral shrine to investigate.
"Qin Shuang, do your best. You must find that ancient sword. If it contains light, it will be mine.”
Ji Ruxue secretly cheered for Qin Shuang.
Silently, Qin Shuang had already walked through the ancestral hall step by step, but she found nothing.
After returning to the front of the memorial tablet, Qin Shuang did not leave. Instead, she sat cross-legged on a futon.
"It's an ancient sword, or a treasured sword, or even a spiritual sword. If it's a Spiritual Sword, it must have a Sword Heart. Since it has a Sword Heart, why don't I try to communicate with it and let it take the initiative to recognize me as its master?”
Thinking of this, after holding her breath and concentrating, Qin Shuang actually thought of it as cultivating the Bright Jade Technique.
Seeing that Qin Shuang was actually meditating and cultivating her inner force mental cultivation method, Ji Ruxue could not help but grumble to herself,""Seriously, why is he practicing?”
In the beginning, Yang Mingru and the others were also confused. However, as Qin Shuang cultivated the Clear Jade Technique, his body automatically emitted a mist that was not mist, and a gas that was not jade. Yang Mingru was stunned. Everyone present was stunned.
"Xue 'er, this? What kind of martial arts is this?"
"Oh? I've heard him mention it before. He said that it's the 'Bright Jade Technique', and it has miraculous effects when cultivated.”
Qin Shuang focused her mind and focused on her dantian. She circulated her zhenqi and went through the small and large circulation. After 49 cycles, Qin Shuang was still immersed in her cultivation. After 8864 days, Qin Shuang was still not satisfied. Silently, Qin Shuang had already entered the eighty-one great circulation cycle.
If it was in the past, Qin Shuang could at most complete 79 cycles. However, today, Qin Shuang had inadvertently completed two more cycles.
"Puff, puff!"
Suddenly, the conception and governor vessels understood.
As his aura moved, a layer of pale jade-colored protective qi barrier automatically appeared on Qin Shuang's body.
"Inborn realm? Qin Shuang has broken through." Ji Ruxue was secretly delighted.
"What a magical innate protective qi shield. It's jade-colored, like the skin of a young girl. It's floating like an immortal wandering in the world…"
Just as Yu Niang couldn't help but speak, Qin Shuang, who was immersed in her thoughts, suddenly heard a voice calling out to her. It wasn't human, but it was clearly audible.
Suddenly, Qin Shuang stood up in front of everyone.
"Clang…"
The long sword at his waist was unsheathed. In a flash, Qin Shuang used the sword to break a few green stone slabs.
After Qin Shuang was done, the longsword in his hand suddenly flew out of the ancestral hall uncontrollably, and a delicate buzzing sound rose from the ancestral hall.
"Found it…"
"It's actually a spirit sword. The sword already has a sword heart and can automatically choose its master. No wonder we can't find it.”
Yang Mingru seemed to have understood something. Suddenly, a ray of green light streaked across the air. Looking over, an ancient sword wrapped in a green leather scabbard appeared in Qin Shuang's hand.
Even before he drew his sword, the few Jade Blood Essence gems embedded on the hilt had already attracted everyone's attention.
"This is?"
"This is Lingxu, Zhang Liang's sword.”
Qin Shuang said excitedly. As his voice drifted, he flew out of the ancestral hall.
In the air, Qin Shuang unsheathed her sword with her right hand. Under the sunlight, the sword was beautiful and dazzling.
"Eighteen Jade Blood and Heart of Herbalism gems, facing the wind in the empty valley, soaring through the world, this is the Lingxu Treasure Sword.”Yang Mingru said with tears in his eyes.
As he spoke, the members of the Yang family in front of him knelt on the ground and said in unison,"Greetings, Lord…"
