Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Night of the Summoning

Xie An and Sima Zong were in a stalemate for a moment, given that no one would notice the movement at the bottom of Qingyun Tower in the middle of the night, even if he shouted his throat, he probably wouldn't be able to call Du Yu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Why does the Sect Lord think that Shi Hu will take you in after accepting this treasure? Zu Yue took his family and hundreds of cronies to defect, but he was wiped out, he is a military general, what about you? Don't tell me that you are willing to be his dog? You're not too young anymore. ”

Xie An delayed the time, and then said: "It's better for you to leave Jiankang now, I promise not to send someone to arrest you." ”

Sima Zong didn't say a word, Xie An was helpless, gritted his teeth and entered the door, and as soon as he entered the door, he stepped over and was supported by Sima Zong in time.

Xie An looked around at the stone walls with their own ghostly light, and the ground was clean and smooth, but there were no furnishings other than that, and it was almost impossible to see where to hide anything.

Xie An asked, "When did the prince know that there were treasures here?" ”

Sima Zong said: "After crossing to the south, I heard that there are treasures in the tower, and they have been guarded, and then I asked Ruyi to approach that person and became his apprentice, but Ruyi has not known about it." ”

Ruyi's body trembled slightly when she heard this.

Xie An nodded in agreement, "That's good, otherwise, with Du Huafa's experience, Ruyi's acting skills must not be hidden, but unfortunately waste is waste, and he can't please Du Huachang, after so long, he doesn't even know how to enter the door, but why would the prince know?" ”

"The secret key of this door recognizes the identity, and it can be opened with a certain amount of skill cultivation, if you don't believe it, let your little green plum come and try it, and it will definitely be opened." Sima Zong said regretfully, "It's a pity, it's useless to open it." ”

Xie An touched his chin, "This suddenly made me a little interested in Penglai Pavilion, could it be that this is the case, the prince wants to find that treasure, it is related to Penglai Pavilion, Shi Hu may also be looking for a way to go to Penglai Pavilion overseas, and needs your help, so that you can survive?" Or do you want to go there too, just by borrowing the hand of the stone tiger? ”

Sima Zong smiled faintly: "This king likes you because you are smart. ”

"Penglai has always been the legendary fairy island, but only people who have eaten enough and have nothing to do will think that people who have become emperors will be interested in immortality without exception, and Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to the East China Sea Sanshen Mountain - Penglai, Yingzhou, and the abbot to find the way to live forever, so Shi Hu should be interested in this, right? What about you? You didn't become a god king, but now you want to become an immortal? ”

Xie An leaned down as he spoke, knocking on the floor tiles one by one, and in the muffled knocking sound, Sima Zong snorted coldly and asked rhetorically, "Who doesn't want to ascend to immortal?" ”

"Actually, what if I say that Xu Fu didn't actually go to Penglai, but to the Wa Kingdom east of Penglai?" Xie An continued to knock on the wall, "He brought thousands of boys and girls and all kinds of farming and medical skills, and also brought our Chinese characters to the uncivilized people on the island of Na Waguo, and went there to be his soil emperor." There are three important weapons in the Wa Kingdom, swords, mirrors, and seals, all of which are Qin-made ......"

Sima Zong saw that he was right, and those who didn't know thought that he had really been to the Wa Kingdom, "How do you know?" ”

Xie An skillfully made up: "When I was in the East China Sea, I met a sea-crossing traveler, and after talking with him, I learned about the situation of the Japanese kingdom and deduced it. ”

"So what?"

"I said, there is no immortality in this world, okay?" Xie An was tired, stood up straight and patted back, "Why do you have to believe in this ethereal thing?" ”

"What else can this king believe? You must say to this king again, you are in a high position, why don't you assist the lord, but does Yu Liang have a chance to give this king? Over the years, Yu Liang first got rid of me, and then got rid of Su Jun, fortunately he failed, otherwise, sooner or later, it would be Wang Dao's turn, Langya Wang's family fell, what kind of backer are you Xie looking for? ”

"The reason is you, you used a faint trick to deal with Yu Liang at the beginning, what did you do not do well, but you colluded with Shi Zhao to make this scene in the East China Sea? If you were willing to be like my teacher, you wouldn't have ended up like this, would you? ”

"It's funny, the Sima clan is already isolated, and whoever you look for will be used, both the Yu clan and the Wang clan are the same."

Xie An chuckled, "Lord Wang, you're drunk, don't talk nonsense, okay?" Who helped your Sima clan leave half of the country back then? The Sima family and the Wang family each took what they needed at that time, it was normal, who did it, and they also had to pay the price, when the prince was also young and strong, why didn't he stand up? Now I want to cry out for injustice, it's too late, and when I'm in danger, I can see the real ability. Don't forget, Sima Yan was also in power back then, forcing Cao Huan to take the Zen position. ”

Sima Zong said angrily: "The name of the ancestor is also what you call casually? ”

"I just want to remind the prince that Sima Yan can be the ancestor of Jin, if he succeeds in forcing the palace back then, he can also be the ancestor, if Su Jun succeeds, he can also be the ancestor, the change of dynasty is nothing more than this, it depends on whether the person's luck is good enough." Xie An stood on a brick as he spoke, and when Sima Zong was so angry that he was about to explode, he suddenly said, "This stone brick seems to be a little special, can you ask the prince to pry it open?" ”

The sound of knocking on it was slightly different from other bricks, and this was a special trick for the secret room, otherwise Xie An couldn't think of where else to hide things.

Sima Zong curbed his temper, stretched out his hand and knocked on a few bricks, he really heard a little different, took out the dagger he carried with him, he tried to pry it open along the brick joint, but unfortunately the brick crack was too thin, and he didn't get anything out of it after tinkering for a long time.

"Is there any other mechanism?" Xie An was also interested, squatting aside and watching.

Sima Zong threw the dagger, stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on the brick, closed his eyes slightly, this originally closed room gave birth to a breeze, only to hear a click, the brick separated from the middle, slowly retracted to both sides, hollow inside, and placed a narrow wooden box.

"Sensors?" Xie An couldn't wait to pry this floor open to see it clearly, but when he saw Sima Zong open the wooden box, Xie An panicked and ducked back, so frightened that Ruyi, who was about to climb in to see the excitement, screamed in fright.

Xie An glanced at Ruyi, "...... What is it called! I'm afraid of a hidden weapon, what are you afraid of? ”

Sima Zong said: "...... This king is also careless. ”

"If there is a hidden weapon, I can leave with the treasure." Xie An shook his head regretfully, glanced at the things in the box through the ghostly light, shook his head and said, "It's just a piece of scrap iron." ”

"A sword." Sima Zong's hand touched the sword body slightly, and said, "An ancient sword." ”

Sima Zong carefully took out the sword, held it in both hands, and observed it carefully.

Xie An sighed: "It's a pity that there is no inscription, I don't know what kind of sword it is, and I can't see what is special, what is the use of coming?" ”

Sima Zong glanced at him, suddenly reached out and grabbed Xie An's hand, and gently swiped his fingers towards the sword body, although the ancient sword was old, the sword body was still sharp, and it passed in an instant, the pain was not alive, and the blood had fallen on the sword body.

Xie An was only afraid of tetanus, so he hurriedly withdrew his hand and sucked his fingers, and spit blood on his sleeve several times, Sima Zong smiled: "San Lang is really careful. ”

"Dripping blood to recognize the sword? The sword didn't react either. ”

"But this is probably the only treasure here, right?" Sima Zong sighed with emotion, "They all said that you are very useful, I have searched for several days and have not found it, but you will find it as soon as you come." ”

Xie An took a few steps back, "Don't, I'm in trouble, I hope that the prince will leave Jiankang quickly after taking the sword, and let me go by the way, don't think about taking me away, believe it or not, if you really take me captive to see Shi Hu, I will definitely instigate him to kill you." ”

Sima Zong continued to praise: "San Lang can always guess people's hearts, it's really interesting to have people like you in the world." ”

Xie An slowly retreated out the door, but Ruyi held his calf and didn't let go.

Sima Zong nodded with satisfaction, held the hilt of the sword, and tried the blade of the sword with a few swords in the air, only to feel very handy, as if he was born to wait for his sword.

He pointed his sword at Xie An, slowly advanced, and held Xie An's leg to death, Rao is Xie An couldn't calm down at this time, his face remained unchanged, but his heart was already in chaos with all kinds of escape methods.

"Although you are interesting, but keep you, I am afraid that he will become the second Wang Dao one day, for the sake of Yan'er, for the future of my Dajin, you must die." Sima Zong said coldly, "The scholars deserve to die, you have a fate with this sword, it is better to become the first sword worshipper after it regains sight!" ”

……

Seeing that the sword was getting closer and closer, Xie An instinctively closed his eyes, and at this moment, a strange picture flashed in the depths of his mind, in the stone cave of the East China Sea Island, the man in red sitting on the surface of the water sent countless small seal inscriptions into his divine consciousness.

At this time, he seemed to hear the sound of distant waves, and the man in red whispered in his ear: "Your calamity is here, wake up this sword for me." ”

Xie An opened his eyes suddenly, it was just an illusion of a moment, and even the sword had not yet reached his side at this moment.

"In the third year of Jianning, Emperor Ling cast four swords in Zhongxing, the latter sword was stolen along with the inscription, Zhongxing, can reverse the use of national fortunes, and specially cast this sword to hope that my Han Dynasty will stay away from the disaster and chaos of the ministers, and reproduce the prosperity of Guangwu Zhongxing......"

Xie An almost didn't have to make any effort, and recited the string of small seal inscriptions one by one, and Sima Zong listened to his words, his sword hand froze in mid-air, and he trembled slightly, the inscription Xie An read was not a reason for him to retreat, but because when Xie An read the inscription, his eyes were flashing with golden fonts, and word by word floated.

After reading the more than 100-word inscription, Xie An closed his eyes again, and before he could come back to his senses, he found that Ruyi's hand holding his calf was a little loose, perhaps shocked, Xie An didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, his sleeve threw a handful of white powder on Sima Zong's face, and ran outside on Ruyi's back.

This escape kung fu is more familiar than hands-on, Xie An ran out of Qingyun Pagoda without hindrance, only to hear the faint sound of the copper bell on the body of the tower in the night wind, which made him goosebumps for no reason.

He hadn't run a few steps before he heard the sound of his clothes fluttering, which landed above his head and in front of him.

It's Du Yu.

The two glanced at each other, and Du Yu was slightly surprised when he saw Xie An's pupils turn golden.

Xie An didn't know that his eyes had changed, and the string of inscriptions he had just read out had long been forgotten, and at this moment he was only thinking about why the sword didn't emit any lasers as he imagined, so that it had a fantasy momentum.

Just when he made eye contact with Du Yu, Sima Zong also raised his sword and chased him out, saw Du Yu, and then looked at Xie An, gently and elegantly wiped the white powder off his face, and said lightly: "A child of a dignified family, when did you learn such a trivial method?" ”

"It's not about whether it's elegant or not, it's just about working." Xie Anxin said, if it weren't for the lack of a hidden weapon on his body, he would have flown you with a poisonous needle, "And bullying juniors is despicable enough." ”

Du Yu looked at the sword in Sima Zong's hand, didn't talk nonsense, and stretched out his hand.

Sima Zong looked like he didn't give it.

Du Yu finally opened Chrysostom and said: "The Zhongxing Sword has been awakened, do you think you can use him in your hand?" It's just scrap metal in your hands. ”

“…… Mr. Du has been listening to the corner? Xie An asked.

Du Yu frowned slightly, "Because you guys are so noisy, I wanted to go in and save you, but I didn't think about hearing the inscription of this sword, and I forgot how many years I haven't ......."

Du Yu didn't say anything halfway through, Sima Zong clutched the sword tightly, and said with some ecstasy: "Zhongxing Sword, an artifact cast by Emperor Ling, stole a sword and inscription for people back then, and it is rumored that Rui Ling possessed this sword, which can dominate the national fortune...... However, ZTE has four swords, and now there is only one ......"

Du Yu said lightly: "Because there has never been one." ”

"What about the other three?"

"Is the prince still not giving up? Many years ago, Ruyi was sent to approach me, just to find this sword, right? Although I found out early and wanted to kill him, but in the end I still couldn't do it, this person is in a hurry, and after seeing so many people, his eyebrows and eyes are a little like that person. ”

Du Yu turned sideways slightly, and the afterglow fell on Xie An, "When and where have you seen that person?" Why didn't he come to see me in person? ”

Xie An sighed and said, "...... He asked me to kill you, the reasons are complicated, but I think we need to find a time to make it clear, but before that, can you ask Mr. Du to take care of him? ”

Du Yu was slightly stunned, walked up to Xie An with his hand, stretched out his hand and gently stroked his eyes, and said, "Even though San Lang is extremely smart, he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods...... Don't you understand this at this time? He gave you the inscription, that is, he gave you the sword, otherwise what would you use to kill me? ”

Sword?

Xie An didn't notice anything unusual, and it wasn't until Du Yu touched his eyes that he felt something unusual, and took out a knife and looked at his eyes with the blade...... The little golden seal was still swirling in the pupils of his eyes, and no matter how many times he blinked, it wouldn't disappear.

"It's going to freak people out." Xie An muttered, he felt a little ridiculous, but the truth seemed to be in front of him, he walked towards Sima Zong step by step, and said softly: "Lord Wang, are you really not going to return the sword to me?" ”

"Yours?"

"Mine, the man gave it to me."

"Who the hell is that man?"

"Sword thieves, of course."

"You have the ability to take it yourself!" Sima Zong's heart was surging with hatred, since the sword was in his hand, he was afraid that he would have the ability to take it? Seeing that Du Yu was standing far away, looking like he was out of the way, Sima Zong suddenly raised his sword and stabbed at Xie An, he walked quickly on the grass, his figure was as elegant as a feather, but when he was three feet close to Xie An, he saw Xie An quickly reciting something in his mouth, and suddenly, Sima Zong didn't dare to move.

Only a few sword sounds were heard from the sword in his hand, and at the same time, several air currents from the sword body were emitted, and then, Sima Zong not only froze in place, but even blood gushed out from his shoulders, arms, and feet.

Du Yu said expressionlessly beside him: "Three sword marks, these are the other three swords." ”
