Chapter 688: An Unexpected Change
Jinling City, north-central China, Qixia Mountain.
Qixia Mountain, also known as Setshan, has always enjoyed the reputation of Jinling's first Mingxiu Mountain, which is not only a famous tourist attraction, but also one of the four major maple appreciation resorts in China.
Qixia Mountain is known as the support of the six dynasties, and there have been five kings and ten emperors in history who have climbed this mountain, leaving many historical monuments and ruins.
On the whole, the whole Qixia Mountain is composed of three mountains and two streams from south to north.
These three mountains are Fengxiang Mountain, which is like a phoenix spreading its wings, Wolong Mountain, which is shaped like a sleeping dragon, and Fuhu Mountain, which is like a tiger.
The two streams are the Zhongfeng Stream and the Peach Blossom Stream.
The green mountains here are green, the scenery is charming, the rivers and mountains are beautiful, picturesque, magnificent and colorful.
Looking from afar, the mountains and mist are ethereal, like fairy mountains falling into the world, and the big rivers are rushing and roaring, like a silver dragon coiling around the mountain stream, the air is fresh and vibrant.
"It's a nice environment. Thunder raised his eyes and couldn't help but sigh.
The two have left the scenic area and continue to go deeper, there is only one path in the mountains, but the scenery is even more magnificent.
But Xia Xia was not interested in appreciating this beautiful scenery, but asked, "Qixia Mountain is not big, how can there be three ancient martial arts sects?"
Without waiting for Lei Ting to answer, he added, "And these three sects are named after the three mountains, dragon and tiger wind, hehe, interesting." ”
"It is said that there used to be only one sect in Qixia Mountain, which seemed to be called Sanshanmen, but later for unknown reasons, it split into three small sects. ”
After a pause, Lei Ting smiled, "Actually, the Ancient Martial Sect is not so mysterious, they have been out of touch with the times, and they regard mortals as ants, but in recent years, many small sects have developed in the outside world, and even have a certain influence." ”
"Impact?" Summer raised an eyebrow, "What impact?"
"For example, the three factions of Qixia Mountain, they control the ...... from the outside Well, it can't be said to be controlled, it should be in contact with many families in Jinling, after all, they also have to eat, drink, and Lazar, especially to practice martial arts, but wild vegetables can't do it. ”
Summer nodded approvingly.
Thunder's words reminded him of the Gong family and Tianhemen.
Generally speaking, the ancient martial arts sects all pay attention to escapism, but the development outside is too fast, and these sects have to be flexible, so there is the current situation. Lei Ting sneered again, "Today's ancient martial arts sect is not only to be a bitch, but also want to set up a memorial arch, one by one they keep saying that mortals are ants, and they look down on ordinary people, but they still have material needs, so there are often people who take their disciples down the mountain to practice, saying that it sounds good, it is the red dust refining heart, it."
It's really to make friends with those powerful wealthy families. "It can't be so biased. Summer shook his head, "I've heard the master say that some of the big factions are indeed for inheritance, and if they are completely integrated into the outside, the mountain gate where they are located will soon be developed into a scenic spot, so that sooner or later, the ancient martial artists will have no place to stand, and after a long time, they are only afraid of the ancient martial arts."
will sever the inheritance. ”
"That's just as well. ”
Although the two were chatting, the speed was not slow.
In the rear, even the sheep intestine path has disappeared, and the surrounding dense forests are stacked, the mountains are undulating, and the cliffs and mountain streams are extremely dangerous.
After walking for about half an hour, an open field appeared in front of me.
In the field of vision, an ancient house with a deep courtyard.
It is a very quaint old house, the courtyard wall is completely made of gray-brown mountain stones, the tall stone wall looks very clumsy, and the buildings inside are also made of boulders polished.
There are no bricks and tiles, let alone carved beams and paintings, and the simplicity makes people can't believe that such a huge ancient mansion is a modern building.
Simplicity and unpretentiousness.
In front of the house, there is a clear stream, 30 meters wide and 5 or 6 meters deep, with lotus flowers and fish swimming in it, completely cutting off the way.
Above the clear spring, there is an arched stone bridge that connects the old house.
"This is the only way for the outside world to enter the Tianlong Gate. Thunder pointed to the ancient mansion, "The last time I sent someone was stopped here. ”
Summer nodded and said, "Follow me and don't talk." ”
This is just a sentinel battle, and the people guarding it must be some low-level disciples, and Xia believes that he should be able to get through the trick with the help of the Duren Sutra.
The two soon walked onto the stone arch bridge.
However.
To the surprise of the two, until they crossed the stone bridge and came to the ancient mansion, no one came out to investigate.
"What's going on?" Thunder frowned, "Xiao Jiu won't lie, he was stopped here, and he was kicked by a guy." ”
"Go in and have a look. "Summer Road.
The two did not go through the main entrance, but entered through the courtyard wall.
The yard is huge, but it's still empty.
Summer listened intently and guessed for a long time, "There's no one here." ”
"Nobody? Will it ......?"
Thunder shook his two wrists, two guns appeared in his hands, and his face became solemn, "Could it be related to Xiandi?"
"Possibly, let's go. ”
Summer naturally thought of this, and her complexion changed.
Then, the two walked out of the back door of the old mansion and sped up their speed to cross the mountain road, still not meeting anyone along the way.
After climbing a low mountain, walking through a stone forest, and then over a canyon, they went forward for three miles, and in front of them was a dense forest, and the two stopped.
"It smells of blood. Thunder's face became more solemn.
"Get in. ”
When the words fell, Summer walked in first, and the thunder followed closely.
The outer edge of the dense forest was quiet, surrounded by red grass and vines, but the smell of blood was even more pungent.
With the sneak, as Thunder said, several corpses were found one after another along the way.
Their deaths were horrific, some were choked by sharp blades, some were pierced through their hearts, and some were carried by their slanted shoulders, and their internal organs flowed to the ground.
There was a mist of blood wafting all around, and the smell of blood was very pungent and disgusting.
"This should be a disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. ”
Thunder pointed to the pattern engraved on the cuffs of one of the corpses, which was a golden dragon, "Xiao Jiu was stopped by someone in this costume at that time......"
Before he finished speaking, Summer was already swishing away, and at the same time, he said, "There is movement ahead." ”
Hearing this, Thunder was stunned, and then he also started to speed up and follow.
As they approached, they heard terrible screams.
The fight continues, and the truth is soon seen.
A middle-aged man in a gray robe kept shuttling through the crowd, the cold light of the long sword in his hand flashing, and the blood light kept splashing.
And the people he killed were all ancient warriors in blue robes with golden dragon symbols on their cuffs.
In addition, there was an old man in a flaxen-colored robe standing outside the crowd, his face was expressionless, calmly watching the middle-aged man slaughtering in blood.
"Whew. ”
These days, the disciples of Longmen are as vulnerable as chickens and dogs in front of middle-aged people.
He pierced the heart of one person with a sword, and in an instant, he swept the other person's neck with a backhand, and blood splattered everywhere.
His movements were as elegant as dancing a sword, and his drumming robe fluttered in the wind, but every time he refined the sword, a cloud of blood mist would rise.
"Ah......h
The screams were terrible.
I saw that the middle-aged man suddenly made a procrastination, poof, Sen Sen's sword light brought a touch of coldness, and the last guy who was about to escape was disemboweled, and his liver and other organs flowed to the ground, and the scene was extremely cruel.
Sonorous!
The sword is sheathed.
The middle-aged man exhaled a long breath, his face did not change, but just as he was about to speak, suddenly, his pupils suddenly condensed, and he held the hilt of the sword in his hand and looked to the right.
"Who!"
At the same time, the old man in the flaxen-colored robe on the side also snorted coldly.
Snort.
Instantly. With a flick of his wrist, several cold rays of light shot out in a row, and several flying knives struck straight out.
