Chapter 256 White Long Sword
They walked into the bamboo courtyard hand in hand, and felt a fresh bamboo fragrance coming to their noses, which refreshed their body and mind and swept away the fatigue of the past few days.
A gravel path winds its way through the courtyard, with neatly arranged jade bamboos on both sides. The rustling of bamboo leaves sounds like a soft humming.
"Jade Spirit Bamboo." Su Chenyin looked at the Jade Spirit Bamboo on both sides of the path, and his eyes lit up instantly.
She broke free from Jun Yijue's hand and walked towards the Yuling bamboo beside her, gently stroking the bamboo joints with her fingertips, feeling the coolness and moisture coming from the bamboo.
"This Jade Spirit Bamboo is a rare treasure. Ajue, how about we dig some and plant them in the space? Anyway, this yard has no owner, so it's okay to dig a few plants."
Jun Yijue walked to Su Chenyin, looked at the excitement flashing in her eyes, smiled and nodded.
"This Jade Spirit Bamboo is indeed rare. Since you like it, let's take some back." Jun Yijue raised his hand and rubbed her hair and said.
They did it right away. They each selected a dozen jade bamboos of moderate thickness and uniform joints, and transplanted them to their respective spaces with a wave of their hands.
Then, the two continued walking along the gravel path side by side.
Deep in the bamboo courtyard, the gravel path gradually widens and a clear pond comes into view.
The reflection of the jade bamboo in the pond sways gracefully, like a beautiful ink painting.
Lotus flowers are in full bloom in the pond, and fish are swimming freely in the water. The water is sparkling, reflecting the sky and clouds, which is a beautiful sight.
Beside the pond, there is a pavilion with a set of stone tables and stone benches inside, and a set of exquisite tea sets on the stone table.
Su Chenyin and Jun Yijue stayed here for a while and then continued along the gravel path.
A quarter of an hour later, they came to a simple bamboo house standing in the Yuling Bamboo Garden. A ray of sunlight shone through the bamboo leaves and fell on the stone steps in front of the bamboo house.
They walked up the stone steps. The door of the bamboo house was lightly closed, and a faint spiritual energy came from inside.
Jun Yijue frowned slightly, and the calling in his heart became stronger and stronger, as if an invisible hand was pulling him.
He exchanged glances with Su Chenyin, carefully pushed open the door, and walked into the bamboo house.
The interior of the house is simple and elegant, with a bamboo couch, a bamboo table, several bamboo chairs, and a bookshelf filled with various ancient books.
The two were about to take a closer look when suddenly a white sword in the center of the bamboo house attracted their attention.
The white sword was suspended in the air, and the sword body was emitting a faint white light.
There is a lifelike dragon carved on the hilt, as if it will take off from the hilt at any time.
This white sword is obviously not an ordinary object. The mysterious and powerful aura it exudes makes people feel awe.
Jun Yijue stared at the white sword without blinking, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He could feel a strong call coming from the white sword.
His intuition told him that this sword had an inextricable connection with him.
"Ajue, this sword doesn't seem to be simple. Maybe it's a magic sword. And it's white, which goes well with you."
As soon as Su Chenyin finished her words, the white sword hanging in the air trembled slightly, and the sword light flowed, as if responding to her praise.
"Buzz——" The white sword made a low hum.
The sword shone brightly, and a strong spiritual energy wave surged in the bamboo house like a raging torrent.
Then, the ancient books in the bamboo house began to float up, the pages turned automatically, and ancient characters floated out from them, circling around the white sword.
The wonderful sight before them stunned Su Chenyin and Jun Yijue. They both looked at the scene in surprise.
The characters gradually condensed into a ball of light and finally sank into the white sword. The sword body trembled.
"Buzz--" The white sword made a crisp sound, and the light on the sword gradually converged, and finally returned to calm.
The next moment, the dragon carving on the hilt seemed to come alive, the dragon's mouth slightly opened, the dragon's eyes flashed with golden light, and the entire bamboo house was illuminated by this light.
“Roar——” A clear dragon roar came from the carved dragon’s mouth on the hilt, echoing throughout the bamboo house.
Suddenly, the white sword suddenly turned into a white light, flew quickly towards Jun Yijue, and finally hovered in front of him.
Jun Yijue was slightly stunned, looking at the white sword floating in front of him with some disbelief.
He felt a strong resonance, as if the sword had long been connected to his soul.
The sword seemed to know him. It circled around him several times, accompanied by bursts of cheerful sword sounds, and finally stopped steadily in front of him.
The dragon carving on the hilt seemed to come alive at this moment, with its dragon head raised high and its eyes flashing.
Su Chenyin was also surprised to see this scene. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that this sword has recognized its master. It has chosen you, Ajue."
"Ajue, this sword is obviously a divine weapon with a spirit. It might be even more powerful than my sword."
"Hurry, hurry, Ajue, sign the contract with it quickly. It's waiting for you." Su Chenyin patted Jun Yijue's arm and urged.
Jun Yijue calmed himself down, took a deep breath, slowly raised his hand, and carefully touched the hilt of the sword.
The moment his fingers touched the hilt, the white sword vibrated slightly, and the sound of the sword became more cheerful, as if celebrating that it had finally found its owner.
Jun Yijue gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, and suddenly felt a warm and powerful force flowing from the sword into his body.
And this power seemed to contain endless sword intent, flowing along his meridians.
Jun Yijue closed his eyes and tried to feel the power that contained endless sword intent.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, with a hint of surprise in them.
He bit his finger, and a drop of blood slid from his fingertips and dripped onto the sword.
The essence and blood merged into the sword body, and the white sword suddenly made a long roar like a dragon.
Suddenly, a white light burst out from the sword, enveloping Jun Yijue completely.
The dragon sculpture came completely alive, shining with golden light. It flew around Jun Yijue and finally landed back on the hilt of the sword, with a look of satisfaction in the dragon's eyes.
"Buzz buzz buzz--" The sound of the long sword became louder and louder. The spiritual energy in the bamboo house surged wildly, swirling around Jun Yijue and Su Chenyin.
Su Chenyin widened her eyes. She felt that the aura on Jun Yijue had changed. It was a power that perfectly matched the white sword.
A quarter of an hour later, the spiritual energy in the bamboo house began to slowly subside, and the sound of the white sword gradually disappeared.
Suddenly, a thin white light extended from the hilt of the sword and revolved around Jun Yijue.
Then the white light suddenly shrank and slowly sank into Jun Yijue's forehead.
The contract is established!
"Buzz--" The sound of the sword rang out again, this time it was crisper and more pleasant, as if celebrating the success of its contract with Jun Yijue.
Everything returned to calm, and the white sword in Jun Yijue's hand seemed to have turned into an ordinary sword, but it exuded an awe-inspiring aura.
Jun Yijue opened his eyes, looked at Su Chenyin and said with a smile: "Yinyin, my contract was successful!"
"Congratulations, Ajue!" Su Chenyin smiled so much that her eyes curved into a crescent shape, and asked curiously, "What's its name?"
