The Battle of Quarry Rock ended, the Southern Dynasty won a great victory, and the Northern Kingdom was defeated.

The rout army withdrew all the way to Huainan and confronted the southern army in the Central Plains.

The national division of the Northern Dynasty died of joy, and more than half of the 70,000 troops were lost.

The Demon Sect's Ten Thousand Poisons Old Man died, the Lord of the Five Elements Gate Chiyun Sect died, the Holy Fire Sect withdrew from the Demon Sect and no longer participated in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and the elite of the Seven Peerless Sects were wiped out.

The leader of the Demon Cult, the first Mo evil in the world to be defeated.

The Demon Sect was disbanded, and the world was shocked.

This news was spread everywhere by the beggars, the hidden building, and the major sects, and in less than seven days, the world knew about it.

Of course, not all good news can be heard.

The director of the Wulin League, Hao, died, for a time, the world was righteous, and the leader was lost, and all sects held memorials in their own sects to mourn, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was the best in the world.

The decent elite suffered heavy damage, and Lei Shiyin, the leader of the Heluo Gang, fed the tiger with his body to eliminate the disaster.

Later, there was Shen Qiu, the hero of Heluo, who was exposed to his true face by the "righteous man" in the rivers and lakes, and the demon was angry, and made a big fuss about the funeral of the alliance leader, and the Qingyang Demon Lord was embarrassed, and nearly 100 masters of the rivers and lakes were abolished.

He also killed the regent of the Southern Dynasty in public, Zhao Biao, the king of Huainan.

The bad news is also shaking the world.

However, in the end, there is another version of this news, in addition to the version of the hidden building.

said that it was Shen Qiu's hero, but he was forced to betray the right path because of the collusion of the scum of the rivers and lakes with the remnants of the Demon Sect, and the Southern Dynasty plotted to seize the world's sharp weapon, the Hundred Birds and the Phoenix Spear.

This kind of saying is mainly spread by the Heluo Gang.

It's just that this thing came too suddenly, and it happened after the death of the alliance leader, and several major events were mixed together, true and false, confusing.

A lot of people are looking for the truth.

It's just that the witnesses of that incident are not very willing to say more, after all, they sit back and watch the wicked and force the heroes to rebel, and it is shameless to say it.

Although Shen Qiu had already made a decision, judging from the situation at the time, Heluo Daxia really looked like he was persecuted by a traitor, but the matter had come to this point, blood was shed, and people died, and this matter became a confused account.

I didn't see anyone jumping out to shout grievances to Shen Qiu, especially when the major sects were silent.

However, the battle between good and evil in Quarry Rock is like some kind of introduction, and the collapse of the Demon Sect seems to have really announced the arrival of a new era in the rivers and lakes.

Seven days after Ren Hao's burial, there were rumors of "secret treasures in the world" in the Jiangnan area.

It is said that it was a sudden typhoon that hit Ningbo, Zhoushan generation, but after the typhoon dissipated, the people who returned to the Tibetan villa found the secret treasure of their ancestors on Zhoushan Island.

I heard that it was the rudder site of the "Shark Sea Palace", which was a powerful force in the rivers and lakes five hundred years ago.

In just four or five days, several martial arts cheats were discovered, and various magical elixirs and three or four Jianghu blades were also produced from them.

At first, this matter was just a joke, but there were unbelieving people sneaking to Zhoushan Island.

Although the ruins of the Shark Sea Palace are occupied by the Guizang Mountain Villa, those people from the rivers and lakes made a robbery hole next to the ruins, stole into it, and also found some treasures.

This matter was confirmed to be true by Yinlou, which attracted a flock of martial arts people from the south of the Yangtze River, and the villa was a little caught off guard, and finally had to divide something to calm the anger.

The aftermath of the news on Zhoushan Island has not yet dissipated, and there are also heavy treasures on Xiaoxiang's side.

It is said that it is the land of Xiangyang, there is a flood that washes away a river, and after the flood recedes, there is a monument more than 100 years ago, it is an ancient tomb style, it occupies a large area, and there are all kinds of treasures in it.

attracted the rivers and lakes in Xiaoxiang to come to the lake.

Speaking of rumors about the appearance of this treasure, it is actually not very uncommon.

This piece of rivers and lakes thousands of years ago, but there were immortals, and in a thousand years, there were more than 100 recorded secret treasures in the world.

Several of the Supreme Twelve Artifacts were found from the ruins of the Immortal Family.

There is no shortage of lucky people in the rivers and lakes, and there are also some people in the rivers and lakes who will take the initiative to find such relics to excavate, just like digging the relics of the immortal family in the Taihang Mountains.

Digging is the norm.

But if you do dig it, then...

It is also strange to say that in recent years, the frequency of these secret treasures has increased greatly, and when the heroes were in the meeting, Ren Hao and the heroes of the rivers and lakes said this.

In the 24th year of Zhengding alone, there were nearly 10 such incidents, distributed in various areas of Jiangnan, Huainan, Liangguang, and Lianghu.

The inheritance of Jiangxi Shixiangmen reappeared in the way that the lucky ones dug up the ancient tombs.

Some people say that all kinds of treasures have resurfaced, which is a sign of spiritual revival.

Whether the aura is revived or not, most people in the rivers and lakes don't care much.

But if you can really get some good martial arts and all kinds of treasures from this kind of thing, it will definitely be a lucky thing.

People who are ambitious, or who think they are lucky, tend not to miss out on this kind of thing.

In the middle of October, outside the city of Xiangyang, the big river is surging, this is the river basin of the tributary of the Danjiang River, near Zhongzhou Town, called the White Horse Cave, the scenery is good, from this river bay to the south, you can see a majestic peak.

That mountain is called Jiutian Xuannu Peak, like other famous mountains and rivers, there are many legends and stories, and it is a good place not to be missed by people who ask gods and immortals in Xiaoxiang.

In this river bay area, there were legends of immortals many years ago, and the secret treasure of Xiaoxiang appeared here, which seems to be a matter of course.

There had been a flood in this place the other day, and when the flood waters receded, the banks of the river, where no one had come before, were already covered with tents.

At a glance, there are already hundreds of people active in this small estuary.

"Who knows what's going on?"

At the mouth of the river, at a newly opened tea stall, a local old man smoking dry tobacco poured tea for several guests.

It is said to be tea, but in fact, it is inferior local tea, which is very bitter to drink.

But even so, the business of this tea stall is not bad, and when people ask about the "secret treasure" of this place, the old man of the tea stall speaks a strong local dialect and introduces to the guests:

"A few days ago, there was a flood that washed away a river by the river, and the water receded, and Li was bringing people to repair the riverbank, and that night someone came to talk about some ancient tombs and the like.

It's like digging the tomb of the ancestors, and I heard that it's quite big, the size of the underground palace. ”

The old man exhaled the pungent smoke, glanced at the crowd walking around the estuary, his wrinkled face was full of dissatisfaction, and said:

"We, the locals, thought that our ancestors should not be offended, so we had to fill in the dug graves again, but as a result, this matter somehow spread to several nearby martial arts training sects.

On the third day, a group of swordsmen and guns came and dug up the grave we had filled in again, and let people enter the ancient tomb and take out some burial objects.

Old man, I don't know what they took.

But those who came after seemed to be happy, and then the more people gathered, more and more.

In the past few days, even Jingmen and Yichang have people coming over, and the Taoist of the Pure Yang Sect has also come to see it, but the Taoist has stayed for a day and then went back.

The rest of these people, digging graves all day long, just want to bring out all the things in the dungeon!

This is blasphemy against our ancestors. ”

The old man stamped his feet and said:

"Woe will be!"

"Yes, blaspheming the ancestors, full of greed, there will definitely be no good end."

Sitting in front of the old man, drinking tea, was a young man with a black hat and a black shirt.

The old man couldn't see his face clearly, except that the man had a strange pair of black gloves on his hands.

There are also some unintelligible pattern embellishments.

The strange man picked up the teacup and took a sip, and he didn't lose his temper like other Jianghu people because the bitter tea was unpalatable, but he drank it deliciously.

After a few breaths, the man put down the teacup that had been knocked on a piece, and asked the old man who was smoking:

"Uncle, I want to ask, this group of people has been digging for almost seven days, and they didn't say, what is that secret treasure?"

"That's it."

The old man put down his cigarette stick and said to the younger student who was asking in front of him:

"A few days ago, a spear was brought out of the grave, and he said that it was a good blade, which caused many people to fight for it, and several people died.

Later, the old man, I heard them say that this place was a martial arts giant hundreds of years ago.

It's called Xuannu Sect, and it's said that it's still an immortal inheritance. ”

The old man smiled, his dark face full of sarcasm, evidently not believing this statement, he beat his waist, and said:

"In the past few days, they dug through the underground palace again, saying that they were looking for some martial arts cheats, and they agreed that after they found it, everyone would divide it equally, and a few reputable and decent commanders would do it.

These Jianghu people, all of them are very arrogant, they call themselves heroes, they want things, and they don't dig themselves, they hire a lot of offspring in the village, digging all day long, but they are also very generous.

The old man, I also followed the light, these days just selling tea, every day has a good livelihood. ”

"That's a good thing."

The black-clothed Housheng who wore a hat smiled and chatted with the old man again.

Although the old man set up a tea stall to sell tea, the people in the rivers and lakes who came and went were not very willing to talk to him, and it was rare to meet an approachable descendant who was insightful.

An old man and a young man chatted about the north and the south, complementing each other.

"Housheng, look at your dress, you are also a Jianghu person."

When the old man finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, he put down his cigarette stick, and added another cup of tea to the man in front of him, and said:

"Didn't you come to ask for this treasure too?"

"It's not."

The young man shook his head, and said softly:

"I don't have much interest in treasures, but I heard about it and came to join in the fun."

"That's good."

The old man nodded, looked left and right, and whispered:

"Don't learn from those people, say what kind of heroic high-rollers, in order to practice martial arts, they made this ugly thing of digging people's graves, and even the ancestors are disrespectful, this is practicing martial arts to the evil way.

The old man saw that you were not bad, so he said a few more words, these people, what they dug up is definitely not a good thing.

Don't stop, drink this cup of tea, and get out of here. ”

"Oh?"

The Jianghu people who were drinking tea stopped, and under the black sand, a pair of eyes stared at the old man, and he asked softly:

"Uncle, what do you say? What do you know? ”

"Well, I don't know, just casually."

When the old man heard this, he was a little frightened, and he knew that he was speechless, so he waved his hand, not going to say more, but in the next moment, a rolled up silver ticket was quietly raced into his hand.

The old man at the tea stall was shocked.

I didn't lift my hand in front of me, how did this silver ticket get stuffed?

He looked down.

Huo, this posterity, it's really generous.

"Don't be afraid, uncle, I just like to hear these bizarre things."

The man whispered:

"You can talk about it for me, and you should relieve your boredom, and these silver coins should be regarded as money for listening to stories."

Seeing that the old man was still hesitating, the man continued:

"The ominous thing that the old man said, doesn't it mean that the things in this underground palace were buried in advance?"

"Ugh!"

The old man raised his head sharply and looked at the man in front of him, his eyes quite frightened.

"Huh"

When the young man in the hat saw the old man's expression, he chuckled, and he took up his teacup and said:

"Look, old man, I've guessed everything, just tell me, this matter comes out of your mouth, into my ears, and no third person will know."

As he spoke, another heavy ingot of silver was thrown from under the table to the palm of the old man's hand.

The latter touched the silver in his hand and looked at the silver ticket in his hand.

Thinking that the children in the family have never made a living, the family wants to go to the city to live, but there is no way.

Today, with this windfall, I can buy a small courtyard in the city, start a small business, or simply build a good house in the village, so that my youngest son can be married.

After thinking about it, the old man gritted his teeth, put the silver ticket and silver in his sleeve, looked left and right, lowered his voice, and said to the life in front of him:

"Yes, everything here is buried in someone.

I grew up in this village, old man, and I remember very well that more than 40 years ago, a group of people came to the village.

They said they were going to dig sand for business, and they hired some people to dig the soil, including my father, but the merchant dug the sand by the river?

Old man, I was a half-grown child at the time, and when I was delivering food to my father, I took a look at the place where they had dug at the beginning, on this river, and even the location was exactly the same. ”

Speaking of this, the old man sighed and said:

"The gang stopped for a few days and left, saying that the business was not done, and half a month later, my father fell ill and died, and before he died, he said a lot of things when he was confused, saying that he had been punished by heaven and so on.

The villagers they hired to dig the soil also died of illness one after another.

Back then, that group of people was not a good thing.

These days, these people are digging here, and the old man thinks about it. ”

"My husband didn't tell anyone else about this, did he?"

The young man with the hat nodded and asked again.

"Nope."

The old man pursed his lips and said:

"Those Jianghu people are very arrogant, where do they have the leisure time to talk to a lowly person like the old man? The old man just had the heart to say it, but no one listened. ”

"That's good, don't talk about this in the future, so as not to cause trouble."

The young man let out a sigh of relief, stood up, dropped a few copper plates, paid for the tea, and moved his fingers again, the strange glove clicking.

He turned back to the old man and said:

"Uncle, as you said, since you disturbed the ancestors, there will be a curse coming, I, I know some tricks of public opinion, and the curse will be reported today.

Today, this tea stall is bought and sold, so let's take it.

I went home, left the village, and found a new place to live. ”

The old man got a windfall of money and told the secret things of decades ago, which would have been worried, and when he saw this young man's words and reminders, he didn't even want a tea stall.

He carried a tattered bag, smoked a cigarette, and headed back to the village.

After the old man left, the young man standing in front of the tea stall reached out and pushed the hat upward.

He looked at the busy people on the river beach in the distance, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth flashed a few smiles, he stretched out his hand and whistled, and above his head, the sound of eagles chirping.

A few miles away, leaning against a carriage, the mountain ghost, who was resting with his sword, suddenly raised his head, he jumped out of the carriage, moved his body, snapped his fingers at the other two, and said:

"Get up and go."

"It's worked."
