Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan at the bottom didn't know that someone on the stone castle had secretly decided their fate, but they didn't need to know, after all, their fate never had to be in the hands of others.

Looking up along the long stone steps, the spiral-like steps seemed to lead to the endless darkness, Meng Man led the way in front of Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi, turned around and said coldly: "Come up." ”

Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan glanced at each other, and looked up indifferently, Acha and the other four people were left at the bottom of the fort and guarded, and it seemed that not everyone could go to this stone fort.

Stepping on the last step, Qin Yunuan, who has a keen sense of smell, can already clearly ask about the smell of fireworks burning in the house, even if the ventilation in this room is good and the traces are clean, it can't escape Qin Yunuan's nose, and there seems to be a smell of tortoise shells being burned in the fireworks.

As Qin Yunuan expected, in the middle of the room was a small stove surrounded by stones, and some pebbles were piled up in it, the pebbles were so red that the temperature was still very hot, just next to the stove, a white-haired old man was holding a turtle shell in his hand and studying it carefully, next to the window, a man of about forty years old was staring at Leng Changxi intently, his shrewd eyes and decent dress were different from any person in this tribe, he was like a nobleman who came out of the royal family, with a smile and a smile with calmness and leisure. This is the "king" who sat by the window before.

"There is a distinguished guest here" The "king" smiled slightly, and ordered a very handsome woman next to him to pour tea, "Since you are here, sit down and talk." ”

The woman quickly picked out two clay cups from the cupboard, and pulled out some tea leaves from a clay jar, the color of the tea leaves was black, different from the color of other tea leaves in the mainland, Qin Yunuan carefully observed, this should be the native of the Savage Valley, it seems that this person is already very familiar with the use of the Savage Valley, and he can already be called the "king" of this Savage Valley.

"This is my father, the leader of the tribe, who gave the tribe everything. ”

"The King" smiled slightly, but it was clear that he was pleased with the title.

The "king" turned his head and asked the old diviner, "What?" Haven't the results come out yet? ”

The old man looked embarrassed, and his pale eyebrows trembled: "Very strange hexagram." He was about to hand the tortoise shell in his hand to the "king" who asked him, but without warning the tortoise shell shattered into dregs and fell to the ground;

The shattering of the tortoise shell in the divination was really a bad omen, and the "king" immediately stood up, pointed at Leng Changxi and said, "Come on, kill them." ”

Meng Man was the first to rush up, but as soon as he got closer, Leng Changxi was forced back by the cold temperament that Leng Changxi exuded.

But immediately, there was a stir on the steps, and seven or eight men had already rushed up from under the stone fort, just because of the order of the "king".

"What does that mean?" Leng Changxi turned sideways to protect Qin Yunuan, and hinted that Acha and the others, who rushed up with those men, should not panic, "Your son worked hard to invite us, but when he came, he met like this, at least, he had to give me a clear word." ”

"King" glanced at Leng Changxi, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said, "Do you need a reason to kill?" Young people, you ask what to do so clearly, you people are just strange, obviously you are going to die, you have to ask why, as if you can change the result, young man, sometimes the result is very cruel, you still don't want to know well. ”

Leng Changxi held the spear in his hand: "What if I want to know." "Things for no reason have actually been foreshadowed for a long time, and the foreshadowing of this tribe is the biggest secret of the Savage Valley.

Almost instantly, the "king's" face suddenly changed, he silently waved his hand to let the others retreat, and even Meng Man had to leave, leaving only Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi, as well as the old man who divided the hexagram.

The atmosphere was somewhat quiet, and it took a long time for the "king" to speak: "You...... Have you practiced the Qigong of Tongmingmen? ”

It was when Leng Changxi was lucky to protect Qin Yunuan just now that the "king" felt the true qi on Leng Changxi's body, but as for Tongmingmen, Leng Changxi had never even heard of it.

"How have you practiced, and what if you haven't?" Leng Changxi was not prepared to answer this question directly.

"Tongmingmen is the royal sect of Western Xia, and Kung Fu has always been only taught to the Western Xia royal family, because this kind of qigong has an advantage, father to son, son to grandson, as the children reproduce from generation to generation, the power of qigong will only become deeper and deeper, and it is a very good deal." "The King" explained.

And such qigong? Qin Yunuan listened carefully, and then heard the "king" continue: "It's just that this qigong has advantages and disadvantages, if the fathers' dedication to xiu'liàn is so easy to be inherited by the children and grandchildren, if the children and grandchildren have the intention of rebellion, wouldn't it be to help the abuse, at the beginning of the Western Xia just founded the country, this method is indeed conducive to the unanimous external affairs of the royal family, but what about later?" Therefore, the current monarch of the Western Xia Kingdom, Jing Donghua, has explicitly forbidden the members of the royal family to continue the qigong of the Xiu'liàn Tongmingmen, where did the qigong on your body come from? ”

Leng Changxi is Jing Donghua's biological son, and Jing Donghua is the strongest martial artist of that generation, and his son inherits his father's business, so it is no wonder that Leng Changxi's internal skills are much deeper than those of his peers, even if he is injured, he is easier to heal, and he is more enlightened than ordinary people in martial arts.

Leng Changxi learned the tone of this "king" and asked, "I know this qigong, do you need a reason?" ”

The "king" was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Young man, you are arrogant enough, I like it, but even if I like it, you will be a dead corpse later." The "king" took the clay cup on the small coffee table beside him, which contained half a cup of warm tea, and when he had finished drinking it, he propped his hands on the window and pushed himself with force, and only moved out of the shadow of the window below his knees.

Qin Yunuan was stunned, she realized that the calves of this "king" who seemed to be able to scold Fang Xuan had shrunk like two bamboo poles, shriveled, weak, and even unbearable, Leng Changxi squinted slightly, and he also saw these twisted calves.

The "king" smiled indifferently, pointed to his calf and said: "You don't need to sympathize with me, my end is good, and there are many people who don't know how to let go when they want to let go, and they have lost more than me, because they are all dead;

。 ”

The "king" had two wheels under his chair very intimately, so that he could barely move with the help of the power of the wheels, he turned to Leng Changxi and said with a smile: "Twenty years ago, I was still a blacksmith in the village, and my iron-making skills were somewhat famous in ten miles and eight towns, so that night, a person suddenly found me, saying that there was an emergency supply list, indicating that when I was going to go, I didn't have the slightest doubt, who knows, this time, I will never be able to go back, A group of neatly dressed guys locked dozens of our blacksmiths in a large iron cage, and then carried out a brutal selection, one by one they were singled out to demonstrate their skills, and those who were slightly unqualified or inferior in their level would be immediately killed, without even a chance to catch their breath. ”

The "king" sighed and said: "How many old blacksmiths, originally all of them were the masters of ironsmithing, but they all died because of nervousness, everyone was afraid at that time, just because I think more than ordinary people, I know, since they are so eager to find skilled blacksmiths will also kill people, naturally there is a huge strength, I dare not fight hard, very lucky, in the end I survived, and then I was blindfolded all the way to this mountain forest without an exit." ”

"Is it an armory?" Qin Yunuan asked.

"You know a lot," the king was slightly surprised, and then shook his head, "At that time, everyone was not qualified to enter the factory, and we were only responsible for building the soldiers and horses around the armory. ”

"Terracotta formation?" Qin Yunuan had also read Leng Changxi's book of war, but he had never heard of such a formation.

"Well" "The king" doesn't seem to be uncommon and Qin Yunuan explained too much, "There are a lot of formations and mechanisms outside the weapons factory, even if there is a map, you may not be able to enter the factory alive, and later, those outstanding people among us were gradually selected to work in the factory, I am one of them, but the three-year work system makes everyone very stressed, many of them have different intentions, want to steal the weapon map, and casually steal out a small part and sell it to any country, which is a windfall, There have been many outbreaks of workers in the factory, the largest one, I also participated, but later on the way to escape, the weapon map that we had finally stolen was dropped on the ground, and some people were reluctant, so they ran back to get it, but they forgot that the factory was surrounded by soldiers and horses, and they were hacked to death by the mechanism they had built, I was shocked to see him die, but more than that, I was glad that I didn't give my life for the few drawings. ”

"Later, you Suo Xing settled in this savage valley, and also domesticated the primitive inhabitants here to establish their own tribes, and even, created their own civilization?" Leng Changxi looked at this "king", he was a veritable king, a veritable founder.

"You are a genius" Leng Changxi exclaimed, and in a blink of an eye, you could see a touch of smugness passing through the eyes of the "king", but then, Leng Changxi lowered his head and smiled, "But you are even more stupid, you are only glad that you didn't lose your life for the map like everyone else, but you spent most of your life for an arsenal factory that you can't reach by yourself, I look at your leg and know that your leg injury must also be related to the arsenal." ”

"King" said coldly: "That's right, I've been trying to enter the armory factory for the past twenty years, but the surrounding array is not even clear to my own, my legs were accidentally scrapped when trying to find the entrance seven years ago, the closest to the entrance was two years ago, but I found out that the last door was the biggest obstacle, not that there was no key, but that the keyhole of the door had been gambled by molten iron, and the only way to enter was to blast the door open with internal strength, but the door weighed thousands of pounds, Only the purest and most powerful Tongmingmen Qigong in the world can do it, but the inheritors of Tongmingmen Qigong are already limited, and now the bloodline has been broken, I have waited for a long time, and I have sent someone to look for it for a long time, and now, the person I am looking for can be regarded as coming. ”
