After the duel with Liu Jiewu, Shi Zhichuan returned to the royal court, where he planned to accompany Li Xian for the rest of his life.

However, after he had entered the desert on the edge of the steppe, and had been hunting a wolf that infested there, the people of the royal court came to him and told him that his master, the king of the Luo clan Amo, had disappeared.

He was just twenty-nine years old.

Shi Zhichuan returned to the Central Plains with his bags again, and at this time he realized that not only his master had seen, but also that people were missing in the entire rivers and lakes.

Even Luo Fu didn't have the slightest clue about this matter, and at this time, Shi Zhichuan saw the young man on the right again, he was already an adult at this time, and the wisdom in his eyes was shocking.

"I'm going to the Foggy Mountains." Ning Tu (his name) said.

Shi Zhichuan thought about it and decided to go with him.

"I didn't expect you to come back, many people say that you quit the rivers and lakes." Ning Tu said.

Shi Zhichuan nodded: "That's right, I came out to find my master this time." He is a man of the royal court, the king of the clan of Amo. ”

Ning Tu blinked: "I didn't expect your master to be him, you must know that everyone in the world knows that his martial arts are as good as his ability to lead soldiers." ”

At the gate of the Foggy Mountain, the white-clothed disciple stood in the mist of the mountain range and said to them: "The fog bath has been missing for many years, and the two of you can go back. ”

Shi Zhichuan looked at Ning Tu, he didn't know why the other party asked about the fog bath, he thought he was here to ask for help.

"Please also tell the master, Ningtu asks to see."

At this time, a woman came down from the mountain gate, with a face as cold as ice, and when she passed by the disciples of the mountain gate, she was respectfully saluted: "Hello, senior sister." ”

"Master, please." The woman said.

"Thank you." Ning Tu said.

After that, Shi Zhichuan knew why Ning Tu came to Wushan, all the missing people used swords, and their swords are extremely famous ancient swords in the rivers and lakes, and there is still any place in the world where you can find the common ground about these swords, I am afraid that there is only the scroll pavilion of Wushan.

Shi Zhichuan didn't understand why Ning Tu felt that this was a breakthrough point in the whole incident, but he still helped people look through the scrolls.

"How did you notice that?" Coming down from the Foggy Mountain, making sure that Ning Tu was thinking correctly, Shi Zhichuan couldn't help but ask.

Ning Tu said: "Because." ”

Shi Zhichuan: "? ”

"My senior brother is also missing, he is used to using hidden weapons, but he has the habit of collecting famous swords and swords, and the green sparrow is gone." Ning Tu said.

"And."

"And?"

Ning Tu nodded: "It's strange that people are just missing." For sometimes it is more difficult for the living than to take a dead person, and where they finally disappear, there are traces of a fight, but there is no blood. It seems like there is some other purpose, and since I can't find out that it is a connection between people, I wonder if it is some other connection, and now it seems that my guess is correct. ”

The following events confirmed that Ning Tu was completely correct, and according to this clue, they learned from the Foggy Mountain that these ancient swords were all from the hands of the same sect hundreds of years ago, and these swords seemed to be related to some huge secret, so they were taken away.

Soon someone learned the secret of this sect from the Jiangbei Yin family, when a dragon appeared in the West Sea, in order to suppress it, the sword spirit of the sect's six ancient swords, as the energy of the seal to beat the dragon into the deep sea.

According to the address on the record, people from various sects found the island at that time, but what they didn't expect was that everyone fainted the moment they landed on the island.

By the time Shi Zhichuan woke up again, the boat that had been parked on the beach had now disappeared.

In the days that followed, everyone was struggling to survive on the island while searching for the ruins of the sect hundreds of years ago, and the island was surprisingly large, and it took a whole month for everyone to explore the island only halfway.

Finally on this day, he came to the other side of the island, and Shijigawa discovered a strange cave where the skeleton of a huge beast was inside.

The cave was filled with a strange fragrance, and someone mentioned that the skeleton should be brought out, but when someone touched it with their hands, the whole skeleton turned into dust. However, the strange smell became more and more intense, and it was guessed that it was the fragrance of the bones that had turned into dust. Fortunately, everyone didn't think there was anything strange about it, so they left again.

After a few more days of walking, by this time someone had lost their minds, and when they finally saw the only building on the island, the people who were eager for someone else rushed in like crazy, and then, as most calm people think, the people who were waiting outside did not see a single person come out, nor did they hear a sound.

But the most helpless thing is that there seems to be no other way than to enter this temple-like house, and after waiting for five days, Shi Zhichuan and some people entered the house as pioneers.

This place should lead to another place, and a staircase that extends deep down appears in front of Shizhichuan's eyes, and the smell of some sea breeze is wet. Shi Zhichuan and the others glanced at each other, and then took a step.

When everyone came to their senses again, they found that they had reached a deep pit, surrounded by polished boulders, and six people who had disappeared from the rivers and lakes had also appeared, and they were locked in suspended cages on top of the pit, which just enclosed the entire hexagonal pit, and each occupied a corner.

The place was so big that there was no sky in sight, like some cave or inside a house.

Then the mastermind appeared, he was a man in black crow feathers, he looked like he was going to perform some kind of sacrifice, the next moment this conjecture was confirmed, the man waved his hand, and the sky suddenly opened, and everyone saw the moon in the sky, and then the man said.

"In a month, the sacrifice will begin."

Someone immediately tried to leave the pit after hearing it, but found that there was no trace of internal force in the body, the man saw this action and said: "It's useless, since you have smelled the incense of Xianghao's corpse, you can no longer use the internal strength, the aroma needs to be combined with the drug to work, presumably people today will not know." ”

Shi Zhichuan looked at the master who seemed to be unconscious, so he asked, "Why are you arresting them, don't you just need a sword?" ”

When the man heard this, he didn't expect Shi Zhichuan to know so much, but maybe he was in a good mood enough, or maybe his confidence was inflated, so he actually explained kindly: "Because there is no sword master, the sword spirit will not come back." ”

Sitting next to Shi Zhichuan was Ning Tu, he looked at the six people who were locked in the cage, and then closed his eyes silently, the same Shi Zhichuan did, and then everyone closed their eyes together and stopped talking.

About three days later, the six people in the cage woke up, and after inquiry, they learned that they must have been inadvertently fascinated. Before this, they were locked up in a cave, and they were also completely martial arts and had no ability to resist.

Every two days, someone would come to put food, and after about half a month, Ning Tu had a move, and he began to walk around the entire deep pit, Shi Zhichuan followed behind the young man and watched the other party constantly knock on the stone wall, occasionally lying on the stone wall and listening to any movement.

After inspecting the entire stone wall, Ning Tu sat back down again.

That night, Ning Tu woke up Shi Zhichuan, who was asleep.

"I think the tide will rise in half a month, and then the place will be washed away by the tide." Ning Tu said.

Shi Zhichuan was puzzled: "How do you know?" "Is it just by knocking on the stone wall and listening to a couple of sentences from time to time?

Ning Tu seemed to know his doubts, nodded and said, "According to the sounds heard from the stone wall, those should be the sounds of the sea tide; And since we have woken up from here, the dampness on the stone wall has become heavier," he said, pointing to the hole that had been opened above, "and according to the position of the stars, I judge that this place should be southeast of the island, and not far from the temple-like place that was found at that time. Do you remember that passage? ”

Shi Zhichuan nodded: "Remember, it's bottomless." ”

Ning Tu nodded: "Well, not only that, there is also the fishy smell of the sea breeze in the passage, I guess this place is likely to be the end of that passage, and those sea-like smells should be the same as the sea in this place, when the tide rises, the sea water will inevitably pour in from there." Ning Tu pointed in one direction.

Shi Zhichuan glanced at that place, presumably that place was a little more humid.

"Is there any way to do that?"

Ning Tu nodded.

Soon a month passed, and the moon was at the time of the tide, and the sacrifice began, and six ancient swords were hung over their master's head, and the sound of the tide became louder and louder as the whole cavern roared. Shi Zhichuan quietly looked at the crowfeather man standing above, this person was calm and terrifying, as if he didn't care about the grotto that would collapse at any time, but he didn't seem to be a person who cared about these things from the beginning.

The sacrifice soon began, the ancient sword was dropped, and everyone watched as the six people in the cage flowed blood drop by drop, and at the moment when the entire grotto collapsed, the bottom of the pit was also shaken open, Ning Tu and Shi Zhichuan glanced at each other, and the moment before the entire pit collapsed, everyone shouted-

"There's the sea down there, let's go into the water, everybody hold their breath! Follow me/Shizhichuan! ”

At the last moment, Ning Tu hit the bottom of the pit with his backhand, and the whole person should take off into the air with a reaction force, Shi Zhichuan looked at the back of the young man towards the crow feather man, and at the end of his gaze were countless boulders falling from the sky!

The entire grotto is ruined from top to bottom!

The bottom of the grotto, as Ning Tu heard, is the sea. After everyone fell into it, because of the sea, they were not hit by the falling stones, because the tide came, the buoyancy of the sea rose, and soon the crowd was washed to the surface of the sea with the tide, and at this time everyone found that they had reached the bottom of a cliff, and the whole sea and the cliff were shaking because of some force.

Shi Zhichuan told everyone to hurry ashore, and then moved into the sea again, this time he finally saw clearly, just as Ning Tu said, a winding passage stretched from the island to the sea, and a huge stone package in the deep seabed cracked like a flower.

He saw that there were still many people in red in the sea, and those men of the crow feather man, these people were holding huge white beads and surrounding the stone bags, there were hundreds of them!

At this time, the stone bag was completely cracked, and Shi Zhichuan also saw a miracle scene, after the stone bag cracked, the entire deep sea was illuminated by a certain bright light, he seemed to hear the terrible sound of the dragon's roar, and then the terrible submarine whirlpool appeared, and then Shi Zhichuan didn't remember, and when he woke up, he was already lying on the beach.

The six ancient swords and their masters lay there quietly beside him, and Shi Zhichuan walked to the side of the King of the Luo Clan and probed his neck.

"Are you awake?" The young man's voice said.

Shi Zhichuan looked at Ning Tu, and the young man covered his left hand, which hung down weakly, and his whole body was in tatters. The other party's gaze swept over the six people on the ground one by one, and then looked at the rising sun on the sea.

"The night is over." Youth Road.

Afterwards, Shi Zhichuan asked what happened after everyone left, and Ning Tu briefly told him about the situation.

He only had time to cut open the six cages with green sparrows and let the others go out together, and then a strange light gushed out from that place in the pit, and then the crow-feathered man turned into ashes in that light, Shi Zhichuan saw a dragon in the white light, and the other party seemed to be swimming in a huge crystal, but the crystal quickly shattered,

"And how did you get out?" Shi Zhichuan asked.

Ning Tu thought for a moment, and then said with some hesitation and doubt: "Actually, I think I should be dead, I don't know why I didn't die." ”

He thought about it again for a long time, until a man tapped him on the shoulder.

Shi Zhichuan saw a very handsome and gentle man, Ning Tu saw that he patted himself and showed a slightly stunned look, and then frowned and didn't know what he was thinking, Shi Zhichuan found that the other party had loose hair and was wearing a spring green dress, although he was soaked by the sea, he was still ethereal.

"Jiang Xing, is my nephew awake?" Ning Tu asked.

The man named Jiang Xing glanced at Shi Zhichuan, his eyes showed a gentle smile, and then: "Well, he woke up." ”

Shi Zhichuan scratched his head, he looked back at the sun behind him, just now the sunlight fell into Jiang Xing's eyes, and the dark green eyes refracted stacks of triangular halos under the dialysis of light, like flowers blooming.
