Chapter 8: The Sword Hidden Room

The next day, Kong Xuan wrote an invitation and sent Wei Chong to send it to the vassal states. In the evening, Kong Xuan and Fei Wuji set up a banquet to entertain his son Xiong Jianhe and raise the night.

During the banquet, after everyone exchanged polite words, Kong Xuan said: "Yesterday, thanks to the timely arrival of the son and the adoptive brother, to rescue my Kong family from danger, the old man is very grateful, come, the old man salutes the two of you with a cup." ā€

Gongzi Xiong Jian raised his glass and said, "Sir is polite." Build traveled to various countries, the most favorite to make friends with heroes and heroes, in case of injustice, will always take care of it, like the Tibetan tiger kind of villain, I kill all of them and then quickly, but unfortunately this time let him run away. ā€

Kong Xuan said: "The young man is promising, which is really admirable to the old man. ā€

Gongzi Xiong Jian sighed: "Mr. has won the award." Jian Ping's favorite sword in his life, but it's a pity that I have traveled all over the world and have never seen a good sword. I heard that my husband is a master of Tibetan swords, and he has countless treasure swords, especially the Chengying Sword, which is unparalleled in the world and has a great reputation. ā€

Kong Xuan was silent, and said in his heart: Your kid is really here for the Chengying Sword. "To tell you the truth, the Chengying Sword is in my sword room. Yesterday, the Tibetan Food Tiger also came to snatch the Chengying Sword. Kong Xuan said: "Of course, Childe is different from the Tibetan Tiger, Childe wants to see it, but it doesn't hurt to see it." ā€

Gongzi Xiong Jianxin said: This old guy dares to compare me with the Tibetan Tiger, I'm afraid that I will also grab the Chengying Sword, hum, this son is not so stupid. So he smiled and said: "Sir, don't worry, I and the first divine arrow of the Chu country are here at night, and I don't dare to come back to act rashly, and Mr. Fei is here, I dare to guarantee that the Tibetan tiger will not come back." ā€

"Hahaha!" Kong Xuan said: "The old man of the Yang clan is like thunder, and the Yang clan's magic arrow is the best in the world, and there are two old men who are at ease." ā€

Gongzi Xiong Jian said: "I heard that the Chengying Sword was forged by the King of Shang Tang, can Mr. let Jian take a look and feast his eyes?" ā€

"Where is Childe, Childe can see everything he wants." Kong Xuan said: "It's just that it's getting late today, so it's inconvenient to look at the sword." Wait until tomorrow morning, how about I take my son to the sword room? ā€

"Good, good, good!" Gongzi Xiong Jian couldn't wait to say: "Just listen to Mr., tomorrow morning." ā€

After dinner, everyone went back to rest. Gongzi Xiong Jian was lying on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and said in his heart: Why did Kong Xuan let him see the sword tomorrow, was he afraid that I would make a sword out of it? No, I'll have to check it out. He got up to see that Yang Shotye was sleeping on a wooden plank not far from the door. Although Yang Jiu Ye was sent by Cai Gong to protect Gongzi Xiong Jian, Yang Jiu Ye was not smiling, extremely serious, and never left Gongzi Xiong Jian. If Gongzi Xiong Jian wants to go out alone, it is absolutely not allowed to raise a shooting night.

Gongzi Xiong Jian put on his shoes and socks, changed into a night suit, and crept out, he just arrived in the courtyard, looked back at Yang Jiu Ye, who was sleeping, snickered, and turned around to see Yang Jiu Ye standing in front of him not far away.

"Childe, go back." Nourish the night road.

"I—I can't sleep, go out for a walk!"

"No, go back."

"I'll go!"

"You try!"

"Try it!" Gongzi Xiong Jian was angry, turned around, took a big stride, and went back to the house honestly. Slammed the door shut, and Gongzi Xiong Jian lay on the bed sulking: "Raise the night, and when you return to Caicheng, I will make you look good and change people." ā€

The next day, the sun was shining, and the Kong family's maid sent it early, but the son Xiong Jian hadn't gotten up yet.

After a while, Fei Wuji took Gongzi Xiong Jian and Yang Jian to a rockery in the backyard of the Confucian Mansion, Kong Xuan was waiting in front of the mountain, and when he saw Gongzi Xiong Jian smiled, "Childe can rest well last night?" ā€

Gongzi Xiong Jian said hesitantly: "Okay! Good! ā€

"Good!" Kong Xuan said: "Then let's go into the mountain." So Kong Xuan took Fei Wuji, Gongzi Xiong Jian, and raised the night into the rockery, there is a big stone on the inner side of the mountain, and the big stone is densely carved with different ornamental talismans, Kong Xuan stretched out his hand and quickly clicked a few talisman decorations on the boulder, only to see that those ornaments began to rotate, some recessed and some protruding, after a while, the boulder was gone, a cave appeared in front, and there was a downward stone step leading down to the depths of the cave.

Kong Xuan walked into the cave, took four torches from the stone wall of the cave and distributed them to everyone, and after lighting it, the cave was actually an artificially dug road. Kong Xuan led everyone down, and after turning a few corners, the stone walls on both sides gradually became a little damp, and the stone walls were covered with moss by touching them with his hands. Gongzi Xiong Jian touched it with his hand, quickly wiped it on his body, and said, "Sir, is this the sword room, how does it feel like a tomb?" ā€

"The Confucian family's sword hiding room is also called the hidden sword mound, because every sword hidden by the Confucian family has killed people and soaked in human blood. In order to prevent the murderous sword qi from being exposed, the ancestors of my Kong family specially built this hidden sword mound, and then we will be there. ā€

After another tea time, there is a faint light in front of the road, and it is still shaking, the light is getting brighter and brighter, the stone path comes to the end, a circular hall appears in front, the dome of the hall is sparkling, it is thirty zhang large, there seems to be water flowing above the dome, and a few fish can be seen swimming from time to time.

"This dome is a natural crystal stone, which was excavated by my ancestors of the Kong family, and then attracted river water to cover the dome, and we are now underwater. Kong Xuan said.

Several people looked at the dome and were very surprised, the sun shone down through the water, and the hall was filled with a bright light, like a heavenly realm. And from the ground, this is another mirror lake, who would have thought that there was such a big hidden sword mound underwater.

"This big roof won't collapse, will it? "Childe Xiong Jiandao.

No one paid any attention to him, everyone was looking at the various swords hanging on the wall, and the body of the sword reflected the swaying sunlight, making the whole hall shine brightly and magnificently, and at this time, the torches were already superfluous.

In the middle of the hall, there is a green jade platform, on which there is a three-foot sword, surrounded by something like crystal, with the same hand, extremely cold, it turned out to be a piece of cold jade.

Kong Xuan approached the jade platform and pointed with his hand: "Childe, please look, this is the Chengying Sword." ā€

When Gongzi Xiong Jian heard that he was rushing towards the Chengying Sword, he only heard a "bang", and Gongzi Xiong Jian hit his head on the cold jade, and a bruise bulged out on his forehead. Gongzi Xiong Jian didn't care about the pain, the fish looked around the Chengying sword, and saw that the body of the Chengying sword was three feet long, and the sword body was engraved with a red gluttonous pattern, ancient and mysterious, there seemed to be a trace of blood flowing in the lines, and the hilt of the sword was made of nine dragon patterns, and there was a red light flashing in the hollow in the middle.

Gongzi Xiong Jian said while looking at his heart: "This is the Chengying Sword that can subdue the ancient divine beasts, and the great cause of the father-in-law has been accomplished." If I get this sword, I can command the Divine Flames..........." Later, he unconsciously spoke up, and although it was small, it was still heard.

Kong Xuan asked, "What did Childe say about divine fire?" ā€

Gongzi Xiong Jian was extremely unnatural, and said with a smile: "Hmm....nothing..... hmm...... The Shadow Sword is really a divine sword...... Well..... Mr. Kong, can you lend me a look at the Chengying Sword? ā€

"Hahaha! It's just a sword, not to mention it, even if it's given to the child. Kong Xuan said with a smile: "It's just that the evil qi of the Chengying Sword is too heavy, and I am afraid that it will not be good for the son, so I used the cold jade crystal wall to cover it so as not to leak out the evil qi." If the son wants to see it, it is better to wait until the fifth day of the next month, and the old man will hold a sword conference here, and he is willing to give this sword to a hero who has both ability and political integrity. Childe is smart and talented, maybe the shadow sword will be returned to Childe at the Sword Conference. ā€

"Hahaha! Makes sense, makes sense! Childe Xiong Jian said with a smile.

Kong Xuan and Fei Wuji also laughed, and each of them laughed completely differently. Only Yang Shiye stood aside, looking at everything in front of him with cold eyes.

Kong Xuan said: "Other sword sons can be picked at will!" ā€

"No need! I'm not interested in other swords, so I'll wait for the sword conference. ā€

"That's fine, how about Childe not condescending to set up and wait?"

"Hahaha! That's what I mean, so I'm going to bother. ā€

"Childe is here, it is a great honor for my Kong family."

"Hahaha!" Kong Xuan and Gongzi Xiong Jian laughed again.

A few people came out of the sword room, and they couldn't help but drink and talk about heroes.

Gongzi Xiong Jian's name is Xiong Jian, and he is the son of the son of the prince of Chu State. Born in the emperor's family, Gongzi Xiong Jian is handsome and chic, suave, and a complete son. Living in the Confucian Mansion, sometimes bored, wandering around Chaoge City, encountering a beautiful woman, he took the opportunity to tease, and followed by raising the night, and the son Xiong Jian did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Fei Wuji used this leisure time to practice martial arts and practice spells diligently, and sometimes went to Yang Shooting Night to learn from each other, and the time with Kong Wan'er became less and less. Every time Kong Wan'er went to find Fei Wuji, she always saw him practicing, Kong Wan'er didn't want to disturb, she just watched from the sidelines, and finally left alone.

On this day, Kong Wan'er was upset and came to find Fei Wuji again. I met Fei Wuji and wanted to go out to practice.

"Brother Fei, you have been so busy, and you don't know how to rest, and you have forgotten that there is still someone who is worried about you." Kong Wan'er blushed all over her face after speaking, fiddling with the corners of her clothes with both hands.

Fei Wuji was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "How could I not know." It's just that the date of the Sword Conference is approaching, and the Tibetan Tiger will definitely come back to snatch the Chengying Sword, so I have to practice martial arts diligently, and when the time comes, I will help Mr. Kong deal with the Tibetan Tiger. ā€

"I know, but no matter how busy ..... is, I can't forget Wan'er." When she spoke, Kong Wan'er's voice was very quiet.

"I've always pretended to be Wan'er in my heart, so I won't practice tomorrow, so I'll accompany you to the city to go shopping, buy some things, and relax, okay?" Fei Wuji said: "Today I made an appointment with Mr. Yang to practice swords together. ā€

Kong Wan'er nodded, smiled, and then went back alone.

The next day, Kong Wan'er rode a horse with a bow on her back and walked through the Chaoge City. I saw people coming and going on the street, bustling, so lively. But in Kong Wan'er's eyes, these are all tasteless, in her heart, all she thinks about is Fei Wuji, thinking about being coquettish in Fei Wuji's arms, thinking that he can accompany her more, thinking that if there is no Chengying Sword, there will be no sword conference, and he can be together all the time, thinking about the way he kisses herself, she can't help but feel a wave in her heart, and laughs stupidly.

Unconsciously, Kong Wan'er arrived at the west gate of Chaoge. At sunrise today, Fei Wuji told her to go to the west gate of the city first and wait, and Fei Wuji would arrive later. After waiting for a while, people gradually became scarce, Kong Wan'er silently took out the jade pendant that Fei Wuji gave her, and remembered that he looked at herself affectionately when she sewed and mended Fei Wuji's clothes, so she unconsciously sang a small tune:

Qingqingzi yin, leisurely my heart, even if I don't go, Zining will not be heard?

Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it. Even if I don't go, Zining won't come?

Picky and embarrassed, in the city. Not seen for a day, like March.

After singing, he said, "Why hasn't he come yet?" ā€

"Hehe....... I'm here, who are Miss Kong waiting for?" A voice came from behind Kong Wan'er.

Kong Wan'er took a step back and said angrily: "I'm waiting for Brother Fei, I wonder if Gongzi has ever seen him?" ā€

"Of course I did!" Gongzi Xiong Jian said with a smile: "It's just that I heard that Mr. Fei was busy with the matter of the Sword Conference, and it was very hard, and he didn't have time to learn a few kung fu tricks from him." I heard that Miss Kong has learned swordsmanship from Mr. Fei, can you give me some guidance on the next few moves. There is a frivolous meaning in the words.

Kong Wan'er Bingxue is smart, how could she not hear Gongzi Xiong Jian's provocative words, only to see her tender face flushed, and said: "Childe, please respect yourself, I don't know martial arts, please find someone else." I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave! These words were not loud, but they landed soundly.

Before Gongzi Xiong Jian could speak, Kong Wan'er had already turned around and bowed her head. Gongzi Xiong Jian looked at Kong Wan'er's back, shook his head and said: Such a beautiful woman, why didn't I meet it in advance?

Gongzi Xiong Jian was bored and turned around to leave, when suddenly, Kong Wan'er's exclamation was heard not far away. Gongzi Xiong Jian hurriedly looked at the city, only to see five heads wearing horns, shaped like bones, with two black iron horns on the top of their heads, full of white hair, roots like thorns, eyes deep, black hole inlaid with two fire-bead-like eyeballs, bright red like blood, full of fangs, hideous and exposed, up and down, black hair and black hair, wearing dragon scale armor, shaped like a corpse of the demon beast, is waving a big hand like a bird's claw, holding a long halberd blunt knife, chasing Kong Wan'er.

Gongzi Xiong Jian had never seen such a demon beast, and he was immediately so frightened that his soul was not possessed, his hands and feet were stiff, his mouth was always open, only out of breath, not in breath, and he couldn't shout.

Although Kong Wan'er under the city was frightened, after calming down, she pulled out her long sword, fought with the demon beast and retreated, slowly trying to move by the city wall. After all, Kong Wan'er is from a martial arts family, and she usually learns some kung fu from Kong Xuan in order to defend herself, and these days, she has learned some superior swordsmanship from Fei Wuji, and in the face of sudden danger, she can even resist one or two.

After a while, Gongzi Xiong Jian finally came to his senses, his legs became conscious, and he ran away, shouting as he ran: "There are demon beasts, there are demon beasts!" Where are you? As he ran, he looked back, only to see two demon beasts chasing after him. Gongzi Xiong Jianxin said: Where did these demon beasts come from, I'm afraid they weren't sent by the King of Chu to kill me, how can this be good. So what happened to my father-in-law, has something happened to him? If my father-in-law is killed, then I -------怂 The more Gongzi Xiong Jian thought about it, the more scared he became, and he felt that the cool breeze behind his head was approaching, and the demon beast was about to catch up, and the breath of breath sprayed on the back of his neck.
