Hearing what Liu Lei said, Gu Han didn't answer for a long time, so much so that Liu Lei repeated what he just said, "From now on, you will be my apprentice." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

At this moment, Gu Han's heart completely hurt, two days ago, he still wanted to ask Wuzhang Shifang to accept him as an apprentice, but Wuzhang Shifang also said very stinky that he had to get the first place in the Eighth Academy Conference in order to become his apprentice.

As a result, after two days of hard work, a fairy sword-level sword holder took the initiative to come out, saying that he was willing to collect the cold and feed the apprentice. To tell the truth, purely from the perspective of the master's quality, the master of Wuzhang Shifang is better than the master of Liu Lei.

First, Wuzhang Shifang is the fifth among the immortal sword-level sword holders, and Liu Lei is only eleven, in terms of strength, Liu Lei is not as good as Wuzhang Shifang;

The second is that Wuzhang Shifang is young enough, and the current Wuzhang Shifang is only in his early fifties, with the physical quality of a fairy-level sword-wielder, as long as he does not die in the hands of Yuan Yuan, it is not a big problem to live for another thirty or forty years, then Wuzhang Shifang can shelter himself for thirty or forty years. In contrast, Liu Lei is already dying, and looking at his physical condition, he can live for three or five years.

The third is that there is also the Haotian Sword Emperor behind the unregulated ten directions, and at a critical time, maybe it can be related to the Sword Emperor, so the safety factor is much more reliable. But Liu Lei is lonely, and it is said that the relationship with the White Horse Sword Immortal is also average.

Although there are so many benefits of worshipping Wuzhang Shifang, from the bottom of his heart, Gu Han prefers to worship Liu Lei as his teacher...... Gu Han was originally an arrogant person, and the test of the Ten Directions made Gu Han have a pimple in his heart, but because he couldn't find the opportunity for the second Immortal Sword Level Sword Bearer to meet, Gu Han had to endure the test of the Ten Directions.

But now it's different, Yunxiao Sword Immortal Liu Lei actually took the initiative to accept Gu Han as an apprentice, and his attitude was more than ten times better than that of Wuzhang Shifang, of course Gu Han was willing to worship Liu Lei as a teacher...... It's just that before that, Gu Han also wanted to figure out why Liu Lei suddenly proposed to accept him as an apprentice.

"Yunxiao's predecessors are wrong to love, and Gu Han is flattered!" Gu Han first bowed deeply to Liu Lei, and then said, "It's just that Gu Han really doesn't understand, how can Gu Han be virtuous, since he can receive the favor of his predecessors." Please tell the seniors the truth, otherwise the juniors will not be able to sleep at night. ”

"You kid, I'm still afraid that I, Liu Lei, will harm you!" Liu Lei scolded unhappily, "It's okay, it's okay to tell you, lest you have any bumps about my master in the future." ”

"Boy, do you know what the Sword Hardship Era is?" Suddenly, Liu Lei asked Gu Han this question.

"Sword Tough Times!" When Gu Han heard these four words, information about the Sword Hardship Era quickly flew out of his mind. The so-called era of sword difficulty refers to the era when the number of sword bearers in history gradually became scarce, the new sword bearers could not catch up with the dead sword holders, and the number of high-end sword emperor level sword bearers was seriously insufficient.

Generally speaking, there are two criteria for judging whether an era has reached the era of sword difficulty, the first is that the annual increase rate of sword holders is less than negative 10%, and the second is that the number of sword emperor level sword holders is less than two, and if these two standards are reached, it can basically be judged that this era has reached the era of sword difficulty.

is like a sentence in a classical book "Acting in the Three Kingdoms", the general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, and after a long time, it must be united. The same is true of the era of sword difficulty, with about 200 to 300 years as a time node, human beings will inexplicably usher in the era of sword difficulty. Prior to today, humanity had encountered a total of three Sword Tribulation Eras...... If you do the math carefully, didn't the last era of sword hardship end 230 years ago? In this way, the time is right.

Suddenly heard that the era of sword hardship was coming, Gu Han was suddenly discolored, this is an absolute secret for the sword committee, it is a secret that no one can tell, once the news of the beginning of the sword era reaches Yuanyuan, then mankind will inevitably usher in a miserable war.

"Senior, this kind of thing, it's better for juniors to not know!" Gu Han didn't want to know this news, because once he knew, he would inevitably enter the key focus list of the Sword Committee, and maybe someone would monitor his communications throughout the whole process to prevent him from revealing the news of the Sword Hardship Era.

"It's okay, you're my apprentice, and you're qualified to know this!" Liu Lei seemed to be eager to tell Gu Han everything he knew. "In fact, according to statistics, last year's growth rate of sword holders was negative 6.87%, although this year's statistics have not yet come out, but according to the statistics of our Yuzhang City Sword Committee, the growth rate in the first half of this year has fallen to a negative 7.8%, and it is estimated that there is no problem in breaking through negative 8% this year!"

"And the current Sword Emperor is only the Dragon Lion Sword Emperor and the Haotian Sword Emperor, in other words, in no more than five years, the whole world will officially enter the era of sword hardship!"

"Five years at the slatest, the whole world will officially enter the era of sword hardship!" This sentence instantly exploded in Gu Han's mind, Gu Han never imagined that from next year, he would enter the era of sword hardship, which is simply the news that human beings are most unwilling to hear, which means that in the next twenty to fifty years, human beings will face their greatest suffering in three hundred years.

Yes, the Sword Hardship Age was the most difficult time for mankind, because of the large decrease in the number of sword wielders, mankind had to abandon a large number of strongholds outside the city, because there was simply not enough strength to defend these strongholds, and if they forcibly divided their men to defend them, they would only lose their own small strength.

Therefore, in the era of sword hardship, human beings simply chose to abandon the stronghold outside the city, and went all out to defend the various base cities, and retreated into the city. Looking forward to the past of the sword era.

Corresponding to the Sword Hardship Era, the Yuan Yan will enter a very active state, and they will seize this golden opportunity to launch a tidal invasion of the human base city. At that time, most of the base cities were only guarded by poor immortal sword-level sword wielders, and once they faced the attack of Hong-level or desolate-level Yuanyuan, it would be a naked slaughter.

Every time the sword is difficult, I can hear the news that several base cities cannot hold on, the city is completely breached, a large number of sword wielders are killed and injured, and almost all civilians are killed.

Yes, after the city cannot be defended, the sword-wielder can escape with the power of the sword maiden and go to another base city. But civilians can only be ruthlessly abandoned in the city's shelters, and if they are lucky, they may be able to hide in the shelters for decades, waiting for the sword era to pass.

If you're unlucky, you'll have to die. By the way, by the way, 99.9% of civilians are the kind of bad luck.

There have been a total of three sword hardship eras before, of which the second sword tribulation era, Yuzhang City, which did not have an emperor sword-level sword holder, was unfortunately breached, and the human race in the whole city was basically wiped out, and only the families of some sword bearers were transferred to Yanjing City in advance to save their lives.

After the era of sword hardship passed and Yuzhang City was restored, it took a hundred years to encourage fertility to restore the number of people to normal levels.

Therefore, the era of sword hardship is a disaster for sword wielders, and it is a great disaster for civilians.

"How could it be, so fast, without any warning!" Gu Han muttered to himself, all this came too suddenly.

"The signs have long been there, we old bones foresaw the coming of the Sword Hardship Era five years ago, but at that time, we estimated that there were still about fifteen years before the Sword Hardship Era. Unexpectedly, less than five years have passed, and the time is a full third of the way forward, and we are about to welcome this bad time. Liu Lei sighed.

"What's even more terrifying is that the Haotian Sword Emperor may not last for five years, and at that time, there will be only one Sword Emperor left in the entire human race, even if the first three Sword Hardship Eras, the worst time, we humans also have two Sword Emperors, but now as soon as we enter the Sword Hardship Era, there will only be one Sword Emperor left in the human race."

"This era of sword hardship will probably become the most deadly and wounded era in human history." Liu Lei's eyes were full of endless worry. "Among the eight base cities, Yanjing City has the deepest heritage, and the Sword Emperor who was born is also the most. In the first three Sword Hardship Eras, they all had the protection of a Sword Emperor in Yanjing City, so Yanjing City has not suffered too much loss in the Sword Hardship Era. But this time, even Yanjing City has lost the protection of the Sword Emperor, and this time, our Chinese bloodline will have to endure an extremely terrifying catastrophe. ”

"Why are you telling me this!" Gu Han raised his head and looked at Liu Lei deadly, "These things are not things that an ancient sword-level sword holder like me should know, why should the seniors tell the juniors these things." ”

"First of all, I will correct you a mistake, you are no longer an ancient sword-level sword bearer, you are now a sword-level sword bearer!" Liu Lei is still in the mood to make a joke. "You ask me why I told you, then I tell because I'm optimistic about you!! Or rather, I'm more optimistic about the Admiral! ”

"Admiral!" Hearing this name, Gu Han raised his head violently and looked at Liu Lei in disbelief, how did he know that he was the Admiral?

"Don't be surprised, Gu Han" Liu Lei patted Gu Han on the shoulder, "My old guy's biggest pleasure on weekdays is to brush copies in "Sword Lady OL", and break pieces or something. It just so happened that the son of a good friend of mine was fooled into the Yaoguang Sword Sect, and it was not difficult to know that the Admiral had a Heavenly Sword in his hand. It just so happened that you sent this message to me, this is fate! ”

Hearing this, Gu Han was speechless, and dared to feel that he had delivered it to his door. But just by virtue of the identity of the admiral, is Liu Lei so optimistic about himself? No matter how high his achievements are, the achievements in the ********** have nothing to do with reality, why does this Liu Lei take such a fancy to himself? There must be something in this that I don't know. (To be continued.) )
