At this time, in front of the entrance of the Ten Thousand Caves, at the intersection of the left, middle and right passages, the nine people who joined hands to enter the Sword Washing Pool that day, and the eight people except Gu Yan, had already gathered here. They seemed to be discussing something.

And among these people, Shu Fang Shuo's voice was the loudest, he waved his fist and said: "What else do you want, we have to hurry in and rescue the Gu family girl, don't forget, there are thousands of caves in it, there are countless sword souls entrenched, countless demon beasts and poisonous insects, that is the place of nine deaths and one life!" ”

Sheng Hualan snorted lazily: "Xiao Fang, what are you yelling at, it's so dangerous to say inside, didn't we all come out one by one, and she was the only one trapped inside?" If you want me to say, she just doesn't know what to do, isn't it okay to be good to follow others, but what can she do blindly? If you don't have the ability, stay honestly, don't you think Qin Gongzi is fine? ”

Qin Feng stood beside Jiang Yaojia, without saying a word, hearing Sheng Hualan's words, the expression on his face changed slightly, but looking at Jiang Yaojia, he just smiled and didn't speak, still standing there without speaking. Yue Jiuxi, on the other hand, kept a straight face and did not participate in their opinions.

Only to hear Fang Shuo's louder voice say, "What do you know? It's a mirage, something that the old-timers talked about and changed color. Can you go in and give me a try? My sword soul is given by her, you don't care, but I must save her! With that, he strode in.

Sheng Hualan pointed at Fang Shuo in surprise and said, "Xiao Fang, are you actually yelling at me?" For a wild woman with no origin? ”

Fang Shuo snorted heavily, ignored her, and was about to walk forward. Then Suman Arrow grabbed his arm. After the previous panic, she calmed down and said, "Sister Gu has been trapped for several days. Don't be in a hurry at this moment, listen to what Brother Shen means? ”

Qin Mingyue, who had not spoken, said softly at this time: "Man Jian is reasonable. The nine of us go in and out together, one with each other, and we can't ignore the overall situation for the sake of one person's safety. ”

Su Manjian frowned, feeling that Qin Mingyue's words were a little out of place, she looked at Shen Mengli. "Brother Shen, what do you mean?"

Shen Mengli still had that gentle and elegant smile, "Miss Su, what you saw when you went in was really sure that it was a mirage?" ”

"This ......," Su Manjian was momentarily speechless. She was only guessing, and she didn't see the body of the mirage, although she was ninety percent sure in her heart, but after all, she didn't see it, maybe there was some phantom array left over from ancient times, but it was so coincidentally broken into by them, maybe it?

Shen Mengli said: "If it is really a mirage, with all due respect, although Fairy Gu is a master of Yunze. But to deal with this kind of monster that even the older generation of Yuanying Patriarchs have a headache, I'm afraid it's still too much, Brother Qin, don't you say? ”

Qin Feng smiled at him and answered.

Shen Mengli said: "I heard that Fairy Gu is quite accomplished in the formation......" Sheng Hualan snorted heavily on the side, and he smiled and nodded. "Therefore, if you are trapped by the formation, you must be fine for a while, if it is really a mirage, I am afraid it will be too late to go now. And we also have to think about it, if it's really a mirage, don't let anyone can't save it, and then put us in, the division commander let us go into the sword washing pool to find an opportunity, but we didn't want to give our lives. And the Sword Washing Pool is an innate secret realm, as soon as we come in, even the division commanders can't see our traces, and they don't know the details inside, if there is really a mirage, we have to spread the news. ”

His words were humble and peaceful, and he was thorough, and many people nodded yes, and Su Manjian couldn't speak.

Shen Mengli continued: "Therefore, we still have to set a strategy, everyone walks together, don't separate, put marks along the way, and go in slowly, there are two formation masters from Lotus Mountain here, presumably we won't get lost, it's best to save people, if it really doesn't work, we must also probe the situation inside, and then make a decision, Xiao Fang, what do you see?" ”

Fang Shuo only felt that Shen Mengli's words were wrong, but he had no way to refute it, he pressed down a hat of "ignoring the overall situation", so that he had no objection, so he snorted: "Just do it!" ”

Shen Mengli said with a smile: "That's the best, let's all get the jade right first, and then move forward slowly, in order to protect ourselves." ”

Everyone set a strategy, and then under the leadership of Shen Mengli, they moved forward in turn, Su Manjian's heart was very anxious, but there was no way, she couldn't get out to find Gu Yan alone, that could only be re-entering the tiger's mouth, so she had to be patient and follow the army slowly forward. She secretly prayed in her heart: Sister Gu, you must hold on.

At this time, Gu Yan didn't know who was worried about her outside, and who was harboring a ghost, she just looked at the stone cave in front of her that was bombed into a piece of rubble, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this little girl. Her name is really right, she really lives like a madman!

Just her kind of spell that is not working from time to time is really unbearable for Gu Yan.

With the phantom sword spirit banner she had placed around, the sword soul was still in the cave, so she brushed aside the gravel in front of her and slowly walked forward.

Behind the gravel, there was a very deep and secluded hole, Gu Yan stepped in, only to find that there was a cave inside. It seems to be a fairyland isolated from the gloomy ghosts outside.

It seemed to be a large karst cave, hollowed out from the ground, with long stone bars hanging from the top of its head, and it seemed that it had been a long time before a drop of viscous liquid dripped down. fell to the ground, and the milky white aura suddenly overflowed.

Ning Fengzi jumped out again at some point, she took a deep breath and said, "This is really a good place!" ”

Gu Yan couldn't help but be surprised, with her eyesight as a superb alchemist, she could naturally recognize that this was the spirit stone immortal milk, which was the most important material for refining healing elixir. This kind of opportunity naturally can't be missed, she took out a jade bottle, and then found that under her feet, there was already a shallow pit, and there was a pool of fairy milk in it, which was glowing with milky white light. She couldn't help but be impressed, it was really a drop of water, such a slow dripping method, actually this hard ground. A pit dripped out of it, and I don't know how many tens of thousands of years it has existed here.

The front area is not large, and the surrounding stone walls are very smooth. There are stalagmites growing all around, nothing special, and on the stone wall closest to the front. But Gu Yanjie was startled, there seemed to be a person sitting there cross-legged, sitting upright, motionless, as if he was in retreat. And that sword soul was surrounding his body at this time. Hovering can't go.

Gu Yan looked at it, and unconsciously breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, it turned out that it was just a skeleton. I don't know how many years have passed, and his body has been eroded by the water vapor here. There was only one skeleton left. But the clothes are still intact, with a pale golden brilliance, which can be imagined to be not ordinary. This is probably a certain senior who fell into the sword washing pool back then, and finally died without being able to get out.

The sword soul became very quiet and harmless at this time, Gu Yan threw it aside first, walked to the bones, and bowed respectfully, "Senior Gu Yan." Accidentally entering here, disturbing the cultivation of the predecessors, there are many offends, please forgive me. ”

The sword soul in the air let out a low whimper, as if to thank Gu Yan politely.

Ning Fengzi stood on the Zhu Yan mirror. She looked left and right curiously, and the corner of her eye was always staring at the sword soul in the air, as if to say, "Don't run, or I will catch you back!" ”

The sword soul seemed to be very afraid of her, and slid to the other side like a swimming fish, avoiding Ning Fengzi's gaze.

On the surrounding stone walls, there were some remnants of handwriting, Gu Yan bowed, stood up and looked at it for a while, then walked to the skeleton again, and said, "Excuse me!" She stooped down and took out a golden box from under the skeletal cushion. didn't open it immediately, but saluted him again, "I should do my best to do the order of my predecessors." ”

She said this, as if she had fulfilled a wish, and the skeleton collapsed with a "bang", and countless bones touched each other, turning into flying ashes in the air, floating around, like the wind passing without a trace, and in a blink of an eye, it no longer left a trace.

The clothes he was wearing floated up on their own at this time, folded into a square in the air, and landed in front of Gu Yan, floating quietly in the air.

This is a golden silk robe, embroidered with countless jade silk and gold threads, dazzling, and inlaid with countless spars of different colors, some of which even Gu Yan can't recognize the origin.

She sighed, solemnly put away the golden cloak, and then opened the golden box.

In the golden box, there were two pieces of jade slips that had turned yellow, and Gu Yan looked at them slowly. There was a trace of sigh in her heart, and the short words recorded the life of a monk in this way.

This monk's bones were apparently prematurely decayed. On top of the stone wall is the Zuihou script he left behind. That's probably what he left before he sat down. There is no mention of the year he died here, but according to Gu Yan's guess, it should have been four or five thousand years ago.

Because the monk made it very clear that he was trapped by a mirage in the sword pool, and he tried his best to escape here, but in the end he was too injured to heal, and the terrain had changed, and he was trapped here alive and could not go out. Fortunately, there was Lingshi Immortal Milk, which allowed him to support it for a few more years, leave these messages, and make arrangements for his posthumous affairs.

The monk didn't mention his identity, but Gu Yan guessed that he shouldn't be a person from the Hidden Sword Villa, because in his last words, he didn't mention anything about the Hidden Sword Villa. But he said that he collected a sword soul in the sword washing pool. That is, the one that is hovering beside Gu Yan now.

Therefore, Gu Yan thought, he was probably a casual cultivator, perhaps by virtue of his own ability, he secretly entered the sword washing pool, and he was able to avoid the eyes of those Yuan Infant overhauls and come here to find opportunities, relying on the golden silk clothes on his body.

This magic weapon, which he called "Golden Silk Clothes" in the jade slip, is said to be made of the stem of the golden lotus in the immeasurable heavenly pool, mixed with the black gold silk on the bottom of the sea and the cloud silk jade thread, which can cover all the breath of the monk, and even hide the eyes of the Yuan Ying Daxiu.

And a casual cultivator, the opportunity to go to the sword washing pool to find an opportunity, is really a great opportunity, but unfortunately his luck is too bad, after entering the sword washing pool, he encountered a mirage that has not been encountered for ten thousand years, and later entered the disciples of the Tibetan Sword Villa who entered this place were tragically killed, and he still had the strength to flee to this place, which really proved that his strength was not false.

Gu Yan couldn't help but sigh a little, why do you have to enter the sword pool to get married? This casual cultivator is still a little unconfident in himself. Could it be that without this opportunity, he would never have been able to marry a baby for the rest of his life?

This is something she took for granted, as a monk outside the nine major sects, even if she has the strength of a family or sect to support her. It is still a difficult thing to get married, they are born without the care of their teachers, and they do not have countless natural treasures to focus on. There were not so many secret realms to find opportunities, Wei Dongyang back then made so thorough preparations, and finally died on Qiyun Mountain. Only Gu Yan, a natural outlier, will not be trapped by these things.

After successfully collecting a sword soul, the monk withdrew from the place, only to be trapped by the mirage. Helplessly, when he was dying, he issued an order to the mirage that had been completely taken over by him, telling it to do its best to avenge itself. If anyone can kill the mirage and avenge themselves, then the sword soul will be able to recognize him as the master in the future.

Seeing this, Gu Yan understood why that sword soul didn't escape now.

According to her guess, the four mirages should be the remnants left behind by the Yuanying monks when they were besieged, and they were possessed by sword spirits. But it's just a sword soul, and I don't know how to finally kill their **, but by chance, it merges with the mirage's **, and produces a kind of monster with natural abilities, and sets up a formation here. And he just crashed into it silently.

But when fighting, Gu Yan borrowed the power of Ning Fengzi to completely kill the four mirages, and ** also turned into flying smoke, which can be regarded as completing the monk's original oath, and the sword soul flew away to this side, not to escape, but to lead Gu Yan to the front of the original owner to complete this handover oath.

Gu Yan smiled at the sword soul, "You are really loyal." In this case, don't resist, let's become this gift! ”

With a wave of her hand, the zuihou of the Nine Xuan Heavenly Soldiers fell from the sky with a sword, shining with silver light, and immediately filled the fighting room.

The sword soul let out a silent roar in the air, bowed to Gu Yan three times, and then threw itself at the heavenly soldiers.

A green qi quickly fell into the blade of the sword, and then disappeared, and above the entire heavenly soldier, there was an extra layer of hazy green qi at this time, as if there was nothing, and Gu Yan had already sensed the coercion of this heavenly soldier, and finally completely overrode the remaining eight heavenly soldiers. The Phantom Sword Spirit Banner she refined finally had a core suppression treasure.

And this sword soul, in the process of merging with the mirage, was even more contaminated with the mirage's ability to inherently control the formation illusion, and integrated into the Nine Xuan Heavenly Soldiers, making this phantom sword spirit flag even more worthy of its name.

Gu Yan just moved slightly, and the heavenly soldier disappeared from the air on its own, while the five-color spirit flag and the eight-mouth heavenly soldier appeared in the air at the same time, flickering and disappearing, coming and going like the wind, the changes between the sword and the flag, and the mutual conversion, big and skillful, heavy and not clumsy, heavy and light, running from the heart, and there was no trace of it.

This sword soul seems to have been silently integrated into the Nine Xuan Heavenly Soldiers, and there is no longer a trace of the previous one.

Gu Yan's top priority after entering the sword washing pool was completed silently in this stone cave. She got up again, bowed to the place where the original skeleton was, and said silently in her heart: "I will find your descendant, if he has a spiritual root, I will lead him into the path of cultivating immortals, and give him this golden silk robe, which is my promise to you." ”

The monk mentioned in his last words that he was from Bichi, which was in the middle of the entire Cangwu land, a county in Tianyun Prefecture, the place under the jurisdiction of the Jade Void Palace of Tianzhu Peak, and the most prosperous cultivation place in Cangwu. And he was there, and he had a family, a wife and a daughter, so when he was dying, he left his last words, asking someone who could see his bones, to help him fulfill his wish, and bring this golden silk robe, and a book of immortal cultivation recipes to Bichi County, if the descendants have spiritual roots, they will lead him into the path of cultivating immortals, otherwise, the golden silk clothes will be used as a thank you gift.

And the thank-you gift certainly doesn't stop there. Gu Yan found that this monk seemed to be very poor, in addition to this golden silk robe, he only had two attack-type magic weapons on his body, but they were destroyed in the battle with the mirage, and all that was left was the two pieces of jade slips and a piece of Xuanjing that he treasured himself.

That piece of Xuanjing is naturally a rare thing that is difficult to find in the world, but Gu Yan already has a piece himself, so he doesn't particularly care about this. That piece of Xuanjing, about the size of half a child's palm, was extremely precious, but compared to the jade slip, it couldn't attract Gu Yan's attention more.

And these two pieces of jade slips can be regarded by him as a thank you gift to his benefactor, which is naturally not ordinary, which makes Gu Yan's heart flutter, and it seems that a big secret of the sword washing pool is recorded on it.

According to what the monk said, this jade slip was found by him in the deepest part of the sword washing pool, which was the secret place in the sword washing pool, seeing this, Gu Yan knew that it turned out that outside the thousands of caves, behind countless sword souls, there was a secret place in the sword washing pool, which was the real place of death, nine deaths and one life, and it was also the forbidden place of the solemn order of the Hidden Sword Mountain, and no disciple was allowed to trespass before marrying a baby.

And these two pieces of jade slips are the records left by the ancestors who broke into the sword washing pool before the last Dao Demon War. In this jade slip, what is recorded is that after the secret place, where is the sword washing pool?

Unlike other secret realms that are isolated from heaven and earth, the Sword Washing Pond is a lake beneath Tiger Hill. And this lake, for tens of thousands of years, the water is natural and clear, and there must be living water at the source, but no one knows where the zuihou of the sword washing pond leads?

This seems to be a secret in the Tibetan Sword Villa, and no one has ever mentioned it. In this jade slip, there is a mention of the scene that the ancient monk saw.

It's just that there are some remnants of the jade slip, and the language on it is unknown, as if the monk recorded it in great horror. It reads, "Heaven and earth shake, like the catastrophe of the last days, all beasts are hideous, ten thousand demons come out together, and the desire in the world does not exist." There are many kinds of kinds, which cannot be counted, and they are not seen by ordinary people, and nine out of ten are unseen. ”

This means that the monk saw a scene like a catastrophe in heaven and earth at the source of the Sword Washing Pool, and countless unknown but extremely vicious demon beasts poured out from there.

Gu Yan thought to himself, could this be the origin of these nameless demon beasts in the sword washing pool?

She looked at the jade slip, and there was no date recorded, but there was speculation that the monk had died earlier, probably 18,000 years ago.

In this way, if the demon beasts all come from the source of the sword washing pool, then this kind of scene like the doomsday catastrophe should be more than once, otherwise five thousand years ago, where did the silent mirage come from?

And what kind of scene can make a Yuanying monk be caught off guard and regarded as a catastrophe like the end of the world. made Gu Yan's heart feel a little agitated.

At this moment, she felt as if she had touched a trace of ancient mysteries again.

When she saw those ancient murals in the Lancang Valley, she had such a feeling, but those murals were inadvertently destroyed, and today, this feeling seems to be coming again.

She pondered for a moment, but she didn't make up her mind whether she should go there or not.

Although this record made her yearn for it, it also pointed out the dangers. In the so-called Sword Washing Pool, there are at least five or more big secret places, all of which are places that cannot be easily entered during the Yudan period, and the real source of the Sword Washing Pool is also after these secret places, and then pass through the "Black Underworld" and "Ten Thousand Miles of Quicksand" mentioned on the jade slip. The Gangfeng sword qi there was extremely strong, and Gu Yan thought to himself that it was not something he could resist now.

She hesitated for a moment, but put the jade slip away first. Anyway, this secret should be kept in your heart first. One day, she will find out. Although she was also interested in those ancient mysteries, and also wanted to explore the origin of heaven and earth, now, after all, was not the time.

In this process, Ning Fengzi always stood quietly on the Zhuyan mirror, she looked around curiously, looked at the environment here, kept twitching her nose, and absorbed the rich aura here. Gu Yan smiled: "Do you think this place is familiar?" ”

Ning Fengzi nodded, "It's really familiar, I really want to drink that thing!" ”

She pointed to the back with her hand, pointing to the spirit stone fairy milk that kept ticking, and then she also stretched out her tongue and licked her lips gently, Gu Yan couldn't help but open her mouth wide, this machine spirit, it seems that it is the same as Xiao Jiang, it is a very delicious guy......
