Zhenguan three years, May.

In the Gangnam Province area, the weather has gradually become hotter. In the territory of the Tang Dynasty, drought occurred in many prefectures and counties, and officials from all over the country asked the household department to allocate disaster relief money and grain to consolidate the dynasty.

Emperor Taizong begged for rain for the people, personally went to Mount Tai to worship the sky, and sprinkled copper coins in the white dragon pool. The next day, an edict was issued exempting the drought-stricken counties from paying taxes for one year. This move won the support of the people, and the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Taizong was indistinguishable for a while.

However, due to its proximity to Poyang Lake, Raozhou has been in good weather and has not been affected by the drought. The villages and towns under his rule are mostly beautiful places with beautiful mountains and rivers, and the climate is even more pleasant.

Huanggang Village is located in the southeast of Raozhou, less than 100 miles away from Poyang Lake. The village is backed by two mountains, with a large river running directly in front of it and a large wetland to the west.

Early in the morning, Lu Xin woke up from a coma and found himself lying on an old wooden bed. Looking around, there was a bright room, very empty, with only a few chairs neatly placed in the corners.

The door was open and there were two windows. The sun is falling, with a gust of breeze, which is very comfortable. The scene in front of him made Lu Xin suddenly stunned. At this moment, he seems to have returned to two years ago, back to Grandpa Tu's house in Xiaoxi Town.

Lu Xin shook his head, his head still hurting. He tried to sit up, but he couldn't muster his strength. The memories before the coma were not so clear, he only remembered. The moon does not seem to be dark and turned into a fox demon at the last moment, setting off a monstrous wave in the river. And he fell into the water from the broken sea falcon ship.

Although I don't know what happened at that time, I can at least be sure that the place in front of me is not the Upper Xuantian Sect.

"Looks like someone saved me. I don't know what happened to the fox and the Yang sisters, and whether they escaped Huang Yuyi's entanglement......"

Lu Xin thought of this, his heart was stunned, and he turned around to look for the Youxian Sword. But the no-brainer of the bed and the room made his face change suddenly, and he struggled to get up.

The Yin Yang Youxian Sword is a divine weapon that even the sect master of the Xuantian Sect and the master of the God Realm do not hesitate to put down his face and snatch it. Its importance is self-evident. What's more, Lu Xin is a person who practices swords, and for him, there is nothing more attractive than a divine sword in this world.

"Are you looking for it?"

At this moment, a slightly desolate voice sounded from outside the door. Lu Xin looked up and saw an old man with a childish face holding the Youxian Sword and walking slowly. And in his other hand, he also held a bowl. A strong smell of Chinese medicine instantly filled the whole room.

"Grandpa, you saved me?"

"No, it was the sword that saved you."

The old man was dressed in a cyan robe, his face was full of red, and he couldn't tell his real age. After putting down the sword, he sat down on the edge of the bed and motioned for Lu Xin to drink the medicine in the bowl.

"You have been in a coma for nine days and nine nights, but fortunately there is a fairy grass in this mountain, which can cure all kinds of poisons. This is the last bowl of medicine, and after drinking it, you will be able to get out of bed after another hour. ”

"Thank you, old-timers. But...... Why did you say that the sword saved me? ”

The medicine boiled by the old man was not bitter, but had a faint smell of grass. After Lu Xin drank it in one gulp, he began to ask about how he was rescued. According to the old man, nine days ago, it was raining heavily in the entire Raozhou area. The river in the village was swollen, and he wanted to put a few bamboo baskets at the entrance of the river to catch fish. But on the way, he saw a young man floating on the water, and the reason why the boy did not sink to the bottom of the river was because he was supported by a suspended sword.

In the process of chatting with the old man, Lu Xin found that the person in front of him had no sorrow or joy, and there was no emotion on his face. And the voice of the voice, in addition to being a little desolate, also has a trace of calmness and indifference that sees through the red dust. When he talked about the suspended Excalibur, there was not even a hint of shock in his tone, this was by no means an ordinary villager.

Soon after Lu Xin finished drinking the medicine, the old man left, saying that he was going to a distant place. and warned Lu Xin that he had just recovered from a serious illness and should not travel long distances, so he would stay in the village for a few more days. Lu Xin wanted to ask the old man's identity, but he couldn't find a chance. After that, another hour passed, and the body really regained its strength as the old man said, and was able to get out of bed.

Walking out of the house, there is a large green meadow in front of you, surrounded by dense bamboo forests, flowers and birds. The house was obviously built on a hill, and there was a rough road to the bottom of the hill on the left-hand side.

Lu Xin had just woken up, and although he could walk, his body was still weak. He decided to recuperate in the mountains for a few days, and when he was back to normal, he would find a way to find the scholar and the fox.

Listening to the old man, Huanggang Village is still in Raozhou, which means that it is not far from the place where he fell into the river that night. This area is still the sphere of influence of the Upper Xuantian Sect. Lu Xin didn't dare to walk around, so after moving his muscles and bones a little in the mountains, he returned to the house and took the Youxian Sword and practiced his moves on the grass.

But slowly, Lu Xin found that there were some amazing changes in his body. First of all, he doesn't feel the same way he feels about his surroundings as he used to. The eyes seem to see more clearly, and the ears seem to be more sensitive. As he danced the sword, he could even feel ants crawling in the grass beneath his feet. This is a very wonderful phenomenon, which has never been seen before.

And although he was recovering from a serious illness, in the process of Lu Xin's swordsmanship, the moves that were not smooth before can now be completed in one go. The body is lighter, but the strength of the arms and feet is stronger.

"Uncle Wu once said that the magic pen swordsmanship reaches the realm of transformation, and the internal force opens up the eight veins of the Qi Jing, which can make the six senses sharp, and the ability of the ears and eyes can be greatly improved. Now, am I breaking through? No way...... My swordsmanship is far from reaching the realm of Dacheng, how can I have the power of transforming into a realm? ”

At this time, Lu Xin was pleasantly surprised. The changes that have taken place in the body are obviously a good thing. But he couldn't figure out why this was happening.

Close your eyes and sit cross-legged on the grass. Lu Xin gradually emptied his thoughts, and soon a large number of insects and birds chirped in his ears. These sounds are not special. If you go into a big mountain, you can hear it. But unlike usual, Lu Xin could tell that these bird calls came from more than a dozen different birds. The same goes for insect chirps, with at least dozens of different sounds hidden among the surrounding vegetation.

This is obviously a microcosmic ability to perceive. It's not just that the ear power has been enhanced, but that people's insight into the whole world is improving.

"What the hell is going on? Even if I close my eyes and don't look at it, the outline of heaven and earth will appear in my mind. Ants under the grass, bees in the stamens, moths on bamboo leaves......"

After calming down, Lu Xin can know everything that happens in his surroundings as long as his mind moves. This kind of vision is formed in the brain as if it can be easily obtained by breathing.

"The pinnacle master of martial arts, all the veins are connected, and he can use his mind to perceive the changes in the organs in the body and the flow of blood...... If I didn't understand what Uncle Wu meant, then what I see now should be the inner world. ”

When Lu Xin's thoughts were extremely quiet, an oval world appeared in the depths of his mind. Hazy and chaotic, as when the heavens and the earth first opened. And in the very center of the world, there was a pale cyan vortex, slowly turning. Above the whirlpool, a wisp of flame was suspended, like a star in the night sky.

"Could it be that this is what the fox said, Mana Vortex?"

Lu Xin opened his eyes, and the image in his mind disappeared instantly. He couldn't explain everything that happened to him, so he could only wait until he found Yue Buhei and the others, and then figure it out.

The days in the mountains are quiet and quiet. Huanggang Village is not big, and the old man's house is built on the mountain, which is almost inaccessible. Lu Xin hunts some game from the mountains every day to eat, in addition to cooking, he is also at ease in practicing swords. Five days passed, but the old man still did not return. Lu Xin saw that his body had fully recovered, so he decided to go down the mountain to look for it.

After all, it was the old man who rescued him from the water and detoxified his corpse. Although the grace of saving lives cannot be repaid, before leaving, I always have to say thank you.

According to the previous plan, as long as Yue Buhei and his gang escaped the entanglement of the Shangxuantian Sect, they would definitely follow the Yang family sisters to Miao Jiang. But at that time, everyone angered Huang Yuyi, and the moon did not change the true body of the demon fox, and it was inevitable that the two sides would fight. As long as he makes a move, the Upper Xuantian Sect will definitely not give up. In this way, Yue Buhei and the others may also be arrested back to Dengzhou Dragon City.

Lu Xin decided to go to Raozhou City after going down the mountain, after all, this is the sphere of influence of the Xuantian Sect, and he may be able to find out some news.

After descending the mountain, Lu Xin walked around the village and did not find the old man. Then he took a boat to the town, and there was a carriage at the post station that went directly to Raozhou City, but Lu Xin was penniless at this time, so he had to follow the carriage of the post station on foot. It's strange to say, after walking for two hours in a row, Lu Xin didn't feel a little tired. Even his feet are like flying, faster than a horse.

When I arrived in Raozhou City, it happened to be a meal. Lu Xin took two pheasants and a hare from the mountain into a restaurant, and the shopkeeper quickly bought them for thirty yuan, and gave two side dishes and a pot of wine. Lu Xin was eating while looking down from the window on the second floor. This is the most prosperous street in Raozhou City, and there are people of all religions and nine streams. He hoped to see a few disciples of the Xuantian Sect, and maybe he could find a way to find out the whereabouts of Yue Buhei and the others.

"Big brother, we've already arrived in Raozhou City, so it's time to tell us the location of the ancient tomb, right? Also, where did you get the news of such an important tomb? ”

"Yes, Senior Brother Cao. It's not that the brothers can't trust you, the six of us are hiding from the sect, all the way from Henan Road to here, thousands of mountains and rivers, we can't go back empty-handed. But this tomb is the tomb of Qin Xiao, the eldest disciple of Guan Lu, and it is related to the whereabouts of Si Tian Buzhou Yan, I always feel that things are not so simple. ”

"What's the matter? Si Tian is not Zhou Yan? Could it be one of the five great divine soldiers, Si Tian is not Zhou Yan? ”

Lu Xin ate two bites of food and was about to pour wine and drink, but the sound of conversation in his ears made him stunned.
