As soon as the two of them entered, the broken mountain wall behind them naturally closed again, and there was no trace at all. Mo Li walked forward without looking back, this was a stone cave that was not too long, and the stalactites on it hung down, Gu Yan keenly felt that it was like a long sword with a handle, with Sensen's sword qi, hanging above his head, as if he would fall down at some point, and then chop himself into meat puree.

She followed Mo Li forward in fear, but fortunately she arrived at her destination not far away, there were three stone rooms, the middle one was the largest, there was a jade couch, a natural bluestone screen, and tables, chairs and benches, Mo Li said: "This is where my senior brother lives." That "Sword Codex" is under his bed! ”

After saying that, he bent down triumphantly, stretched out his hand to dig down,

Gu Yan looked at him very funny, and he didn't dare to make a sound. Mo Li touched a few handfuls and said strangely: "Why is it gone, it was obviously still here last time?" ”

He was just halfway through speaking, when suddenly the whole person bounced up as if he had been pricked by a needle, and said, "Hurry up, my senior brother is back!" ”

Gu Yan was suddenly startled, although she didn't hear a single sound, but thinking about it, with the cultivation of this old sword venerable, she shouldn't be able to fake, seeing his anxious appearance, Gu Yan's heart secretly regretted that this time he was really taken on the thief ship!

Mo Li kept rubbing his hands, and suddenly said, "I can't go back, let's go here to hide." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled Gu Yan, and drilled under the jade couch.

Gu Yan had no choice but to follow him in, but fortunately, the bottom of the jade couch was very wide, and it was more than enough to hide two people. After she got in, Gu Yan also sensed that there was a breath coming from outside. There is an extremely harmonious aura, if it weren't for the fact that her divine thoughts are powerful, far surpassing those of her peer cultivators, and she can hardly feel it, this should be Yunchi Sword Venerable.

But the other seems to be in a similar realm to himself. The strength can be sent but not received, and it seems that it can't surpass the late stage of the Yudan. Gu Yan secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that Yunchi Sword Venerable wanted to summon a disciple here?

She thought wildly, turning her head. I saw Mo Li at the other end of the bed, squinting slightly, with his legs crossed, playing with the beads hanging down from the top of his head with his hands, the black jade stones are crystal clear, and they are rare to see the best obsidian. But at this moment, this Sword Venerable actually has such idleness. It really made Gu Yan cry and laugh, and he didn't know who was scared just now.

After she met this elder, she always felt very cordial, and did not regard him as an unapproachable senior, just like a kind elder, she could talk and laugh at will, she was about to pass the corner of her eyes, and suddenly heard a voice sound: "The handwritten book brought by the head." Has Jian Zun seen it yet? ”

The voice was peaceful, but it pierced her eardrums like a sharp sword, causing her to wake up instantly. This is Shen Mengli! How did he end up here?

Outside, it was Shen Mengli's gentle and humble voice, but what he said didn't seem to be very respectful.

Then there was an extremely deep and pleasant voice, "I have seen the handwriting of Master Ling and your master, but the meaning of what is said is still difficult to believe. Please decide together. ”

Shen Mengli's tone was still respectful, and it was impossible to find fault with it, but the words he said didn't seem to be the case. "The meaning of the family teacher, now that Cangwu has been peaceful for too long, there needs to be a change to ripple the rotten atmosphere accumulated over the years. Moreover, the whereabouts of the people in the Demon Sect have appeared, and the Dao Demon War 10,000 years ago is vividly visible, and the Sword Venerable must not be overlooked. ”

Yun Chi seemed to exhale, as if he was considering the words, and then said: "What the Venerable Master said is also reasonable, but the matter is big, and I have to carefully examine it, and before that, it is better not to act rashly." ”

Shen Mengli said: "The meaning of the family teacher, the nine major factions discussed together, established the rules of the earth, and the golden book is still on the Tianzhu Peak. It must be discussed by the nine major factions, and it is not good to move lightly. ”

Yunchi Sword Venerable snorted suddenly, just with this faint snort, the boundless killing intent suddenly came out, this is a major repair in the middle of the Yuan Infant, the sword aura is full, and the boundless killing intent instantly fills the fighting room. Even Gu Yan, who was hiding under the jade couch, couldn't help but shiver all over his body. With a hint of coldness in his voice, he said: "There is no need to beak outsiders in this matter!" ”

Shen Mengli leaned over suddenly, "Mengli has transgressed!" ”

Yunchi Jianzun flicked his long sleeves and said, "What your master means, I already understand, I should raise this matter at the meeting of Tianzhu Peak, you can just reply to him with my original words." ”

Shen Mengli said respectfully: "Obey!" ”

Yun Chi waved his hand, "You go down first, and then you will enter the sword pool in more than a month, remember to get ready." ”

Shen Mengli answered again, and then respectfully retreated.

After Yunchi Jianzun left, he still didn't seem to say a word, just pacing on the side, his steps were silent, but Gu Yan felt as if he had a very heavy heart.

Listening to the meaning of their words, it seems that the Tibetan Sword Villa has some disputes with the Huayan Patriarch of the Danding faction on something, and this matter seems to be related to Cangwu's recent luck?

Gu Yan knows her own affairs, although she has a little reputation now, but in this vast land, she is still only a small role, this kind of matter discussed by the heads of the major factions is far from being something she can participate in. Therefore, she just held her breath, calmed down, and waited here with peace of mind, waiting for the part where Yunchi left.

But this Yunchi Sword Venerable, as if he really had something on his mind, he first paced a few laps, and then sat down on the jade couch, and his breath gradually disappeared, as if there was no such person as him in the stone room.

Gu Yan suddenly became vigilant, with her cultivation, if it weren't for the chaotic space in her body, which could circulate and rotate the aura on her own, she really didn't have the confidence to be able to avoid the eyes of Yunchi Sword Venerable, but that's it, who knows what kind of magical power this Sword Venerable equivalent to the middle stage of Yuan Ying will have?

Seeing that Mo Li on the side was still in good shape, Gu Yan's heart couldn't help but feel angry, she glanced sideways with an unkind gaze, but saw that Mo Li was looking at the top of the jade couch at this time. His eyes were staring straight at him, as if there was something up there that attracted him.

Gu Yan followed his gaze and looked over at the top of the two of them, that is, the bottom of the jade couch. With a few brushes, a pattern is outlined.

The painting seemed to be a vast starry sky, with countless stars shuttling across the universe, the directions flickering and flickering, and the positions he saw were actually different every time, Gu Yan only looked at it a few times, and he felt dizzy. As if there was an explosion of information in her mind, she quickly closed her eyes and was shocked: what kind of mysterious pattern is this?

Back then, in the dark room of Lancang Valley, she had also seen patterns that recorded the mysteries of ancient times, and in the Xuandu Palace, she had also seen similar patterns, but none of them were so moving as the one in front of her, so she only closed her eyes. I feel the vastness of heaven and earth, and I am like a chestnut in the ocean, floating away from heaven and earth. I don't know where to go. At this moment, she seemed to be back on the bank of the lotus pond, and the scene when the owner of the lotus pond was in front of her, singing and singing.

Heaven and earth are so big, all laws are empty, where do I come from and where am I going?

Fortunately, this picture is not like the song of the owner of the lotus pond, which points directly to the hearts of the people, after she closes her eyes. It slowly tricked away from her mind. When Gu Yan opened his eyes again, he found that the original feeling was gone, just countless stars, which formed a peculiar pattern there.

The feeling just now came and went away suddenly. Gu Yan's eyes widened, and he firmly memorized all the positions of the stars in this picture.

She didn't know Weishenme either, but she always felt that it seemed that it would be of great use in the future.

She was quickly memorizing the star map, and suddenly Mo Li's shoulder was pushed, she turned around in astonishment, and saw that Mo Li also had a stunned expression, "Hey, I called you several times, why didn't you react?" ”

Gu Yan's first reaction was that the two of them had been discovered by Yunchi, and then he reacted, "Can you go out?" ”

"Of course." Mo Li quickly climbed out from under the jade couch, and seeing that Gu Yan seemed to want to stay, he pulled her out, "Although my senior brother is gone, maybe he will come back when he is, he is elusive, I don't dare to hide here, I don't know if you will stay alone." ”

Gu Yan had no choice but to come out with him, and sure enough, the room was empty, and Yunchi Sword Venerable had left at some point. Mo Li grabbed her wrist and rushed forward. Rushing out of the stone chamber at great speed, through the narrow hole, and then using the sword light, breaking through the air.

In the air, he patted his chest, and then let out a long breath, "Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough to hide temporarily, otherwise, Senior Brother would have to ground me again." ”

Gu Yan still remembered the star map he saw under the jade couch and asked, "Senior, what is that picture you looked up at just now?" ”

Mo Li's eyes widened in astonishment, looking at her, "Yes, there is a black rumbling down there, you can still see things?" ”

He denied it, and Gu Yan couldn't do anything about him, but she clearly remembered that under the jade couch, she saw a vast star map, as big as the sea. The direction inside was still clearly imprinted in her mind. It's just that Mo Li suddenly dragged her away, so she didn't have time to remember it completely, and only wrote down more than half of it.

Mo Li said impatiently at this time: "You little girl talks so much, how can there be so many problems." Okay, this time I'm an old man, in hiding...... No, it's enlightenment under the jade couch, and I have occasional gains, I want to retreat and participate in cultivation, and continue to look for the ancient sword soul, you don't come to me again in the future. ”

Gu Yan thought to himself: It's better for me to come to you less, otherwise I might have to live a few years less.

At this time, the sword light of the two people had already silently arrived in front of the Sword Trial Hall, and fell to the ground, Mo Li hurriedly took out a small blue jade slip and stuffed it into Gu Yan's hand, "This thing, you keep it in the sword washing pool, it may be useful, remember not to show it to others!" After saying that, he ran in quickly, and before Gu Yan could speak, the door of the Sword Trial Hall was slammed shut. Then Gu Yan couldn't knock it open no matter how much he knocked it.

Gu Yan stood here in a daze, feeling a little confused. What happened today on this day is really too bizarre.

This sword cultivator, who has already cultivated into a sword baby, but is a little disrespectful to the old man, does not know that weishenme, such a blue eye for herself, in her heart, there is not the slightest contempt for this old man, but he is dedicated to the way of the sword. It's just that the idea is inevitably different from ordinary people. And she also recorded a lot of prints in the Sword Trial Hall, speaking of which, she should really thank him.

Gu Yan stood melancholy for a moment. Just got up and was about to walk back, when suddenly someone bumped into him, "Sister Gu!" ”

The person who came was Su Manjian, Gu Yanqi said: "Didn't you say that you went out to run errands, why are you here?" ”

Su Man said: "Master has an urgent call, so I rushed back, but after I came back. Master went out again, so I came here to take a look, and I heard that you are out of the customs, is there nothing wrong? ”

Gu Yan smiled: "It's okay, there is a little injury, it will be good to recuperate." I have my own elixir, so I don't need you to worry about it. ”

Su Manjian smiled and said, "I heard that you came to try the Sword Hall to have a look. So he hurried over, Senior Brother Xuanguang also didn't think about it, even if the master had said so. This sword test hall is not something that can be taken lightly. ”

At this time, Gu Yan felt that what Xuanguang Zhenren said might have a deep meaning, but she hadn't understood it for a while, and she smiled: "Are you talking about Yunli Sword Venerable, we have already met." ”

Su Manjian was shocked: "Have you seen Uncle Yunli?" ”

Gu Yan nodded, "He also gave me some pointers, which has been very beneficial to my cultivation, especially ......" She just wanted to talk about Mo Li's comprehension of the Ancient Sword Soul, but suddenly thought that this was a secret within their sect, and she was actually known to herself. It's really not good, Su Manjian has already smiled bitterly, "Did he tell you about the ancient sword soul?" ”

This time it was Gu Yan's turn to be surprised, "How do you know?" ”

Su Manjian spread his hands, "This is Uncle Yunli's mantra." It's not just you, all the disciples of the Hidden Sword Villa, including the young disciples who have come from outside, as long as there are people who ask him for advice, they have to take this matter out and talk about it. Everyone's ears are going to be calloused. She shrugged helplessly, "The ancient sword soul is just an ethereal legend in the ancient book catalog, and the thirteen ways of swordsmanship cultivation are recorded in the sword book, and there has never been any mention of the ancient sword soul, let alone that the Tibetan sword ancestor was promoted by the ancient sword soul." Moreover, the Sword Washing Pond has existed here for tens of thousands of years, if there really is any ancient sword soul, hasn't it been discovered yet? ”

She smiled again: "Uncle Yunli is a little crazy, he has been committed to this since he got married, and it is precisely because of this that hundreds of years have passed, his cultivation has at least progressed slowly, and even the backward Uncle Yunting has surpassed him." But I still enjoy it. ”

Gu Yan's eyes widened, she still thought that the old sword venerable valued her, and cherished and told her about the ancient mysteries, which turned out to be just the idiotic words of an old madman. She really thought that there was some ancient sword soul in the sword washing pool, and she wanted to go over and take a chance.

Su Manjian said: "Speaking of which, there are some things that I haven't mentioned to you yet. The yin qi in the sword washing pool is too heavy, you have the elixir in your body, I won't say it, but you still have to pay attention, keep your mind, those sword souls that have existed for tens of thousands of years, with a very strong ferocious aura on their bodies, when collecting, you must pay attention to it, if you are not careful, it is easy to hurt yourself, there was a disciple of the Tibetan Sword Villa, when collecting the sword soul, in turn it was controlled, and finally the five brains were split, and he became a madman. Therefore, the later disciples were much more cautious, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault. ”

She also told Gu Yan in detail about the topography in the sword washing pool, the sword washing pool is called the pool, in fact, it is an extremely deep pool, not all of it is stagnant water, its source is the Tibetan sword ancestor did not know where to open it up, in the extremely deep underground, it is said that it is directly connected to the center of the earth, for so many years, no one has ever been able to really find the source. It's just that for tens of thousands of years, the water in this pool has been constantly changing.

Under the sword washing pool, there are hundreds of stone rooms opened up by the Tibetan Sword Patriarch back then, which are intended to be used as a place for disciples to cultivate. In the stone room, there is engraved the sword intent that he realized back then, which is not avoided, and can be viewed at will. The return of all laws is quite beneficial to the comprehension of the avenue.

Along those stone chambers, you will reach the depths of the bottom of the pool, where there are countless natural caves that are isolated from water vapor, I don't know how the terrain was formed, under the deep pool, such a hole was formed, the pool water does not enter, and the air is difficult to enter. The pressure inside is more than ten times that of the outside world. And the essence of the Tibetan Sword Villa for tens of thousands of years, the hundreds of remnants of the hidden sword back then, are all gathered in this cave.

There are thousands of caves, dense, innumerable, so the terrain inside is far more complex than people can imagine, and if you are not careful, you will get lost and fall into it.

Su Manjian said with some concern: "There is no danger in comprehending the sword intent in the stone chamber alone, but if you want to go down to collect the sword soul, you must be very careful." There are so many karst caves there, even after tens of thousands of years, the disciples of the year have marked all the caves they have been to, and there are still many people who have never entered it. Those sword souls, just wandering in these caves, received it is your chance, if not, don't be too persistent. ”

She went on to add: "In the earliest days, the Hidden Sword Patriarch planned to use the Sword Washing Pool as a place of trial for the disciples of the Tibetan Sword Villa, so he had laid a lot of prohibitions and formations in it, and later after the Patriarch turned into a god, no one was able to completely control the Sword Washing Pool, so it was abandoned. So be careful. The pair of junior sisters in Lotus Mountain, they are all good at formations, and this time they were specially given two places, which is also for this reason. ”

Gu Yan suddenly realized why there was only one person from the other sects, but there were only two people from Lotus Mountain. I want to come to Zangjian Villa because of a few outsiders, and I am a little worried. Then Su Manjian drew a sketch of the terrain below that he knew and sent it to Gu Yan. Gu Yan recorded it in the jade slip, and thanked Su Manjian for reminding him. The two of them made an appointment to go to Tiger Hill Mountain to go to the back of the mountain, and then said goodbye.

Gu Yan returned to the courtyard and didn't see anyone else, along the way, she was still thinking about the conversation between Shen Mengli and Yunchi Sword Venerable, what big move did the Danding faction plan, so that none of them could call the shots, and they wanted to ask for the meaning of other sects? It seems that several sects have been persuaded by the Danding faction, while others are still swaying.

Maybe it's because of the Biling Fairy, or maybe it's because the people in the Danding faction she has seen have all made enemies with her, and Gu Yan has always been wary of the people from the Danding faction. Although these high-ranking sects, even if they make any big moves, they will not take their small role in their eyes, but Gu Yan is still thinking about it in advance, but she has thought about it for a long time, and she can't figure out what the intention of the Danding faction is. After all, she still knows too little about these things at the highest level of Cangwu.

Thinking about it, she had a headache, and when she arrived in the room, she threw these things away, and then quickly took out a jade slip, and her fingers flew like flying, and recorded the star map she saw under the jade couch, and the part she still remembered in her mind, all of which were recorded in the jade slip.

Although this star map is simple to use, it seems to contain a profound meaning, which makes her confused at a glance. Gu Yan suspected that Mo Li knew the origin of this star map, but as soon as he asked, he talked about it left and right. This made Gu Yan cherish him even more.

It's a pity that she was dragged out by Mo Li before she saw half of it, and Su Manjian pulled her to speak, the star map is so complex that it requires countless details to keep deducing, just for a while, she has forgotten a lot. What was recorded in the jade slip was only three percent of the original.

She took a closer look and made sure that there was nothing missing, so she solemnly put it into the chaotic space, and put it together with Zhu Yanjing, Xuanjing and other secret treasures.

Then she took out the small blue jade slip that Mo Li gave her, only a jade slip the size of a thumb, on which was sealed with two sigils with yellow aura, Gu Yan tried several methods but couldn't open it, she couldn't help but be a little inexplicable, I don't know what Mo Li's intention was to give herself a jade slip, but he couldn't open it. Does this have to go to the sword washing pool to be used?

She put away the jade slip, along with the catalogue engraved with the nameless swordsman. If you can see Gu Xichao one day in the future, you can send him the catalogue and ask him about his origin by the way. (To be continued)
