Taihua Mountain in the northwest of Dawan, because the patriarch of Taihua Hall opened a sect here thousands of years ago, and then stood on the top of the rivers and lakes for thousands of years, and is famous all over the world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mount Taihua is thousands of feet high, full of boulders, steep and few trees.

And what makes the people who practice swords in the world yearn for it is the sword cliff that hides thousands of swords.

In the past thousand years, countless swordsmen have been defeated by the disciples of Taihua Palace, and the long swords in their hands are said to have been thrown on the sword cliff.

Taihua Hall is not like the Erta Temple and Wudang Mountain, there are no temples and Taoist temples, the selection of disciples is extremely harsh, and cultivated from a young age, non-kendo geniuses can not get started at all.

The entire Taihua Mountain is designated as a forbidden place, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter, otherwise they will die.

There is a three-foot-wide, extremely steep mountain road up the mountain, which is dug directly from the top of the mountain, and the incision is flat, as if it was cut directly with a sword.

On both sides of the near-vertical mountain road, there are no guardrails, and there is no place for handrails on the smooth stones, so ordinary people dare not go up the mountain, and they can't go up at all.

And today, on this stone road that few people climb on weekdays, two figures appeared, one in front of the other, slowly climbing upward.

Slow not because it's difficult, it's just because it's leisurely.

The steep mountain path was as flat as the ground beneath their feet, and the howling mountain wind blew on their bodies, and they could only gently stir their clothes.

The Taihua Hall is built on the mountainside, where there is a flat ground with a radius of dozens of zhang, and a black hall is built, which is simple and atmospheric, with a bit of gloomy taste.

This is a large hall with a history of hundreds of years, and the door of the hall is closed at this time, and there is no figure to be seen, which is even more eerie and terrifying.

Xu Mingyuan and Zeng Qingyi stood on the mountain road one by one, looking at the hall for a long time.

"Now even the four major sects can only close their doors when they see us, don't you think this river and lake is so interesting?" Xu Mingyuan turned his head to look at Zeng Qingyi and said with a smile.

"Nope." Zeng Qingyi shook his head, looked at Xu Mingyuan's eyes, and said meaningfully: "I think this river and lake is not as interesting as what someone said." ”

"Ahem, let's continue to walk up, today we will see what the Sword Cliff looks like, if there is a worthy sword, just go along a few times." Xu Mingyuan coughed dryly twice, pretending not to understand and continued to walk towards the mountain.

"I remember hearing someone say that when he went to the sword cliff, there were swords all over the mountain, and the old man who watched the sword saw him and politely asked him to pick it at will." Zeng Qingyi's voice came from behind, and Xu Mingyuan was in a cold sweat on his back.

Back then, in Shuzhou, those stories were exaggerated and fabricated, and the four major schools were just stepping stones for his magnificent rivers and lakes.

After all, at that time, he didn't even enter the three grades, and Zeng Qingyi was just a little girl who liked to read books in the library of the academy and listen to his bragging.

Taihua Hall went up more than 100 zhang, the mountain road became only one and a half feet wide, the stone steps became steeper and steeper, and a strange sword appeared on the stone wall.

It's strange, because it's mostly a broken sword, some of them are missing the hilt, some are broken, of course, more of them are rotten by age, rusty, and even a small section is left, inserted on the cliff wall, which looks quite desolate.

The mountains are full of swords, and the words are sad.

Xu Mingyuan and Zeng Qingyi walked up in silence all the way, and finally stopped at the top of the mountain.

The steep Taihua Mountain, the top of the mountain is a square square flat top, the ground is smooth, as if it was cut horizontally by a sharp weapon, it looks extremely abrupt, a little weird.

At this time, there was a gray-clothed man standing on the top of the mountain, with his back to the mountain road, his right sleeve empty, gently swaying with the mountain wind, and his left hand pressed the top of the hilt of a long sword, which was a sword with a long scabbard.

"Are you waiting for us?" Xu Mingyuan looked at the back of the man with the broken arm and asked out loud.

"The old turtle is dead, and although there is no one in Taihua Palace, he can't do anything behind closed doors." The man in gray slowly turned around, looked at Xu Mingyuan and said, his voice was slightly hoarse.

Xu Mingyuan looked at the middle-aged man with a handsome appearance, but his eyebrows went all the way to his left eye, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he sneered: "The four major sects have existed for thousands of years, if there is not a big character to support it, I am embarrassed to mention the word face." ”

"If you act like this, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to go back to Chang'an?" The gray-clothed man with the broken arm was not angered by Xu Mingyuan's words, but said something that was a little incomprehensible.

Xu Mingyuan understood, but he didn't explain much, he directly took out the cloud machine order from his arms, shook it, and put it back in his arms.

The gray cloth was slightly stunned, and mocked slightly: "It turns out that you are the baby who was not found nineteen years ago, Gu Xuanqing, the old man's ability to hide people, is indeed a hand." It's really strange to send you to set up a cloud machine pavilion on the rivers and lakes again. ”

"What happened back then, was it the order of the one who gave it?" Xu Mingyuan's voice was slightly cold.

"Do you need me to answer you about this?" The man in gray asked rhetorically.

"No, not now." Xu Mingyuan shook his head, then slowly pulled out the Qingshuang long sword in his hand, and said coldly: "But you can die." (To be continued.) )
