8. Juque [85/100]
The next morning, the fire raged outside the house, and the corpses of the would-be robbers were piled up and burned.
Outside the firelight, Shen Qiu and Xiao Tie were carrying two hoes, Xiao Tie's face was full of pain, he looked at the burning fire in front of him, and said to Shen Qiu:
"Big brother, do you really want to do this?"
"It has to be done!"
Shen Qiu patted Xiao Tie on the shoulder and said:
"I know that you and your master are like father and son.
But the more this happens, the more I want your master to have peace after his death, and I told you about the people behind these pirates last night...
Whether they are immortals or not, I don't know, but I know a little! ”
Shen Qiu looked at the fire burning in front of him and said softly to Xiao Tie:
"If there is a first time in this search, there will be a second time.
You can protect your master's tomb for a while, but you can't protect it for a lifetime, rather than waiting for those people to humiliate your master's body, it is better for you to give your master the final liberation with your own hands.
Didn't you say it yourself, when your master died, he also told you to burn his body?
If you had done that, you wouldn't have done it now. ”
Shen Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards the mansion, he said:
"Don't be stunned, hurry up and complete your master's last request."
Xiao Tie hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed.
The two of them came to the back of the house, on the edge of the cliff of this barren mountain, and the widows had already carved out a big pit, far from the place where Xiao Tie buried his master's body.
It's only less than three feet.
As long as he and Shen Qiu came one day later, his master's body would be dug up.
"You're sluggish too."
Shen Qiu grabbed the hoe, plowed the ground one by one, and said to Xiao Tie beside him:
"Your master's name is Folding Mountain, think about it yourself, and walk against the mountain, isn't that just the word 'immortal'? Where can ordinary people have such a name?
Haven't you ever doubted your master's origins? ”
"Nope."
Xiao Tie also looked innocent, this tall and sturdy young man, while digging the soil, said to Shen Qiu:
"My master is very kind, he has been very good to me since he was a child, and he never said anything about his past, but just taught me a set of sword tricks in the sea, and told me that if I practice this sword style to the depths, I can be invincible in the world...
I just thought he was bragging. ”
"You, really."
Shen Qiu complained:
"Say you're unlucky, you have a master who cultivates immortals.
Say you're lucky, but you don't know anything about it, maybe you're really like your father, born with seven kills, and everything doesn't go well.
When I'm free in the future, I'll find a hexagram master who looks at your face to show you. ”
As the two were talking, the hoe in Xiao Tie's hand hit the heavy object, and the two hurriedly continued to dig out, and soon lifted a rough coffin.
"I made this coffin for Master."
Xiao Tie patted the rough coffin and said something with his eyes closed.
He couldn't bear to do such a thing as opening Master's coffin, so he turned around and asked Shen Qiu to help him do it.
Shen Qiu kowtowed to the coffin in front of him three times, then got up and stepped forward, slapped his palm on the coffin, and knocked the coffin lid out.
He was ready to smell the stench.
After all, the mountain has been dead for almost two years, and buried in the ground, the body must have rotted and stinked.
But unexpectedly, after the coffin lid was knocked off, the corpse lying in the coffin showed no signs of decay.
"This!"
Shen Qiu's eyes widened.
In the coffin, the sturdy Foldshan was dressed in a black robe, still maintaining his pre-death appearance, with his hands folded on his chest.
He has a long white beard and long white hair.
His eyes were closed, and the skin on his face was so lifelike that it was as if he had fallen asleep.
The old man was probably in his 60s.
But the muscles of the whole body are exaggerated, and he is simply an old version of the iron boy.
"Master!"
When Xiao Tie heard the movement, he also glanced back, and after seeing the corpse that was not rotten, he shouted and fell to his knees.
"Xiao Tie, do you dare to say that your master is an ordinary person?"
Shen Qiu settled down, he pointed to the folding mountain in the coffin, and said to the young man who folded the iron:
"Now some people say that he has become an immortal, I believe it, he has been dead for two years, and his skin has not shriveled up a bit, as if he is alive, such a character...
It's unimaginable.
His martial arts cultivation is even higher than your father's! ”
At this time, even the sluggish Xiao Tie knew.
His master was by no means an ordinary martial artist.
"Big brother, what's going on?"
Xiao Tie was a little master of the six gods for a while, and even spoke the local dialect of Liaodong.
The fact that the master is suspected of being an immortal cultivator is irrefutable.
The samurai said that the master was a member of the "immortals", and he now believed it, but the samurai said that the immortals had noticed this place, and anyone who had anything to do with the mountain could not escape.
This made Xiao Tiexin hesitate and stunned.
This is normal, and anyone who does not understand them will have the slightest fear of it.
"You ask me, who do I ask?"
Shen Qiu replied angrily.
He looked at the folding mountain in front of him, and a magical idea suddenly appeared in his mind, this folding mountain only looked at the size, and knew that it was the same as the iron boy, but a person born with divine power.
This is definitely a peerless treasure in Ai Dacha's eyes.
If you send the body of the broken mountain to Ai Dacha, maybe you can exchange it for the body of the revenge.
But this thought was just extinguished by Shen Qiu as soon as it appeared.
If he really did this, Xiao Tie would definitely fight with him.
Although Qiu Buping is Xiao Tie's biological father, in the heart of this simple child, it is really hard to say which is more important, Qiu Buping or Folding Mountain.
"Alas"
Shen Qiu sighed.
He stretched out his hand and touched the neck of the folding mountain, it was very cold, as cold as a corpse, which made Shen Qiu's heart relax.
The master in front of him, no matter how high the martial arts in front of him are, he is now dead.
No one is afraid of the living, so why should one be afraid of the dead?
"Here, take a hand."
Shen Qiu hooked his finger at Xiao Tie, and he said:
"Come with me to give your master a ride one last time, and if you don't want his body to be used by those bad guys, you should know that it is necessary to do so.
Don't have a pimple in your heart. ”
Xiao Tie nodded.
He stepped forward, and together with Shen Qiu, took out the remains of the folding mountain from the coffin, wrapped them in a black cloth, carried them to the campfire in front of the mansion, put away the firewood, and put the master in it.
Xiao Tie personally held the torch, his eyes were red, and lit the firewood for the folding mountain.
Strange to say, this corpse did not decompose for two years.
But when it comes into contact with the flames, it begins to burn rapidly, as if it had been poured with oil.
Shen Qiu stood behind Xiao Tie and stretched out his hand to put it on Xiao Tie's shoulder.
The two watched silently as the corpse of the master in front of them burned in the flames, and after a stick of incense, Xiao Tie found a pocket made of fur and put away the master's ashes.
There was nothing strange about relics.
This made Shen Qiu also breathe a sigh of relief.
He touched the sword jade in his hand, and there was a strange look in his eyes that was difficult to describe.
Just now, when he touched the body of the Folding Mountain, Jian Yu moved, if he expected it to be true, at this time, in Jian Yu's dream, there should also be an illusion of the Folding Mountain.
But...
How does this work?
It's not the folding mountain he killed, why does Jianyu still resonate?
Shen Qiu was puzzled.
But now is not the time to think about this, Shen Qiu waited for Xiao Tie to collect the ashes of the folding mountain, and then said to him:
"Now that it has been determined that your master is not an ordinary person, the statement about 'immortals' must not be groundless, didn't you come back to take the sword left by your master?
We went to pick it up as fast as we could, and then, out of here! ”
Shen Qiu glanced at the bonfire that was still burning behind him, and said:
"Burn everything here and never come back."
"Hmm!"
Xiao Tie also knew that the matter was critical, so he hung the master's urn bag around his waist, and as Shen Qiu said, he lit a fire in the courtyard.
In the halo of firelight, he took Shen Qiu along the crack on the edge of the cliff, stepped on the high and low stone steps, and went down to the mountainside.
At the edge of this rift, there is still a hole.
There is a cave on the edge of the cliff, which leads into the mountain, and is 90 degrees from the ground, and it is impossible to find this hidden place if you are not familiar with the terrain here.
"Big brother be careful, follow me!"
Xiao Tie crossed to the edge of the cave first, and with his innate divine power, he pushed the stones blocking the cave open a gap, and then turned around and shouted to Shen Qiu.
The latter carried the phantom footwork from the standing, and the figure landed lightly on the edge of the cave, followed by the small iron with the torch, and walked into the cave.
"This place was temporarily set up by Master after he fell ill."
As Xiao Tie walked, he said to Shen Qiu:
"There is no secret way, just use big stones to block the way, unless it is like me and Master, who are born with divine power, they can't push it away at all.
Master hid his sword here, saying that when I understand my martial arts, I can come back and use it. ”
"Are you clear now?"
Shen Qiu carried the knife box on his back, next to his body, walking in this cave, he asked.
Xiao Tie's footsteps stopped, and he said:
"Not yet, but my father's incident made me feel a lot of emotion, and I seemed to have an epiphany in my heart."
"Don't learn from your father!"
Shen Qiu advised:
"His martial arts, others can't learn, the kind of idea of giving up his blood and bones, and daring to change the sun and the moon for a new sky, in this era, is too difficult."
"I know, big brother."
Xiao Tie smiled and said:
"I'll think about it myself, it's just, big brother, since you asked me, then I also want to ask you, big brother, have you found your own martial arts?"
"Me?"
Shen Qiu said casually:
"I didn't find it, maybe I'm a little frowned.
But I know what I practice martial arts for, at first it was for protection, and then I thought it was interesting, and now, I have developed a habit, and I want to see how far I can go with my best?
It's curiosity, it's thinking, it's inquiry, it's an oath, so to speak.
But if it's martial arts, it's not qualified. ”
"Then big brother, when you practiced martial arts, weren't you at a loss?"
Xiao Tie pushed away a boulder in front of him again, and in the sound of a frame, he asked:
"I don't know where I come from, and I don't know where the end of my martial arts practice is, the master said, practicing martial arts like this, you can't get results."
Shen Qiu chuckled lightly and said:
"Where we are going is more important than where we come from, although I don't argue martial arts, but I am determined to reach the top, why should I be confused?"
"It's here!"
After more than ten breaths, the mountain road in front of me suddenly opened up, at the end of the mountain road, there is a naturally formed karst cave, the area is not large, and the furnishings inside are also very simple.
There was a wooden sword stand, and on the sword stand, there was a heavy sword with a dark red body.
Its blade alone was six feet long, and including the hilt, it was more than seven feet long.
The blade of the sword is smooth and four palms wide.
The sword lattice is made into an oval shape, and between the thick and heavy, there is also the shape of a strange beast splitting teeth and swallowing blades, adding a touch of evil to this sword.
The hilt of the sword is reddish, and it is covered with some kind of fur that does not slip easily.
At first, the sword is fishtail-shaped, with an iron ring tied between the scales, and it is also connected by chains like a small iron heavy sword.
Thick black chains wrapped around the dark red sword.
Shen Qiu stepped forward and carefully examined the sword.
He found that on the spine of this heavy sword, there were also special patterns painted, which were very detailed.
At a cursory glance, it looks like a grid by grid, and there is nothing secret, but if you look closely, you can find that those patterns are a set of swordsmanship, which is the Canghai sword technique used by the young man who folds iron.
This sword has no blade.
Shen Qiu stretched out his hand and touched the sides of the heavy sword, only a thick and cold feeling, and there was no sharpness.
At the head of the sword, it is also a streamlined blade convergence, not the triangular head of other long swords.
Shen Qiu stretched out his hand and held it on the hilt of the sword, without moving his true qi, he couldn't pick it up at all, and he was a little reluctant with both hands, I'm afraid that this sword weighs a hundred catties?
"Does this sword have a name?"
He looked back at Xiao Tie, who also stepped forward and stroked the dark red blade with an emotionful movement, and said to Shen Qiu:
"Master said that this sword is called 'Juque'. It is an ancient famous blade, but it has not been in the world for more than a hundred years, so that the world has forgotten it. ”
"This sword is several times heavier than the iron heavy sword you use, and it is more than 100 catties."
Shen Qiu looked at Xiao Tie and said:
"Can you make it move?"
"Bang"
There was a loud bang, and under Shen Qiu's gaze, Xiao Tie lifted the giant que in his hand with one hand, and Fu'er exhaled again and carried it on his shoulder.
He smiled at Shen Qiu and said:
"It's barely moving, but if I want to improve my swordsmanship as soon as possible, I have to overcome it!"
"Wait!"
Shen Qiu narrowed his eyes, and in the light of the torch jumped, he said to Xiao Tie:
"Just stay in this position, don't move, there's a little mechanism on this sword... I saw the exact same mechanism on Ai Dacha's wolf stick, and he said it was the technique of the ancient Momen.
Don't move! ”
He stretched out his hand to the fishtail of the heavy sword he was carrying on Xiao Tie's shoulder.
Twisting hard, the decorative pattern did not move.
Shen Qiuyun gave up his body for six points, swaying from side to side, before moving the fishtail a little.
"Click"
The sound of the machine spring sounded, and the tail of the sword and the fishtail swung rapidly, and a roll of rolled paper fell out of the hilt.
Shen Qiu quickly clasped the note in his hand and opened it to take a look.
Said to Xiao Tie:
"It's the letter that your master left for you, as for the immortals in the mouths of those would-be pirates... It's the people of Penglai in the East China Sea."
Shen Qiu said to Xiao Tie with a puzzled face:
"Look for yourself, your master's letter said that he was a disciple of Penglai when he moved the mountain."
PS:
I made a basic mistake and was embarrassed, I recently learned that the so-called sword is not a gauntlet, but a spherical decoration on the tail of the sword.
The scientific name for the gauntlet of the sword is a sword grid or a sword boring.
I won't change the front, as long as everyone knows.
