Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

"Time does not hinder the long years, and now I will set up a chapter!!" The four shouted in unison.

"Although the mountain is dangerous, although the road is long, the oath of the year, do not forget, the time is not hindered, the years are long, and now I will set up a chapter!!"

"Although the mountain is dangerous, although the road is long, the oath of the year, do not forget, the time is not hindered, the years are long, and now I will set up a chapter!!"

The whole night was ignited by our anger, and the silence of the night was like a roaring fire.

The moonlight was a little solemn, and we didn't speak for a long time, not that there was no topic, but we all chose to listen to the sound of the night quietly.

"I said, why don't you speak?" The blacksmith still didn't seem to like it to be so quiet.

"We..."Mo Qifeng stopped talking.

"Have you noticed that there are still words engraved on the top of this stone box, it seems to be—" The blacksmith took it closer and looked at it carefully.

"I'll take a look at !!" Fang Shuran took the stone box in the blacksmith's hand: "It seems that there are really words!!

"What's on it?" Li Huayi asked.

"It seems to say 'his words are on fire'..."Fang Shuran looked at the stone box with an inexplicable face and said, "This ...... What does that mean? ”

There are words on it!! Although I have been carrying this stone box with me, I have not noticed that there are still words written on it, but what does this 'words and hearts burn'? Qinqi, calligraphy and painting, as the four guards of the palace, may know the mystery on this stone box.

"Mo Qifeng, do you know what the words on this stone box mean?" I asked curiously.

"We're talking about the guards of this palace, but we've only seen this stone box by chance, and as for the words engraved on it, we really don't know anything." Mo Qifeng also looked at the stone box blankly.

In this way, it seems that Qinqi, calligraphy and painting don't know the mystery of this stone box.

"What's so rare about this, let's open it and see, won't we?" The blacksmith's idea is always so simple. In fact, I have tried to open this stone box for a long time, but who knows, this stone box still looks relatively thin, but in fact, no matter how hard I try, it can't be opened.

Sure enough, the blacksmith also tried his best, but the stone box was still intact in his hands.

"What kind of stone box is this, it can't be opened no matter how you hit it, could it be broken?" After the blacksmith finished speaking, he wanted to smash the stone box on the ground. Fortunately, Mo Qifeng was quick and took the stone box in the blacksmith's hand at once.

"This stone box, is not an ordinary thing, but the treasure of the royal palace for generations, legend has it that the ancestors of the palace and the head of my faction were playing in the mountains, and suddenly met an old man, the old man handed a treasure box to the ancestors of the palace, and put four blades in the hands of the head of the palace, and ordered the two of them to swear to guard this treasure box for generations, until someone who is destined can find it." What Mo Qifeng said was similar to what the old man said.

"That'!! Could it be that your four blades are just the old man—" said the blacksmith with a sudden realization.

"That's right, it's Su Qinyu's 'Youlong Shield', Mo Qifeng's 'Tiange Sword', Fang Shuran's 'Tianjing Fan' and Li Huayi's 'Tianlong Spear'." My tone was low.

"So after all the years have passed, you haven't found the person who the old man said?" The blacksmith asked.

"The palace has gone through several generations, although it is true that many people have come to challenge, but most of them have returned in vain, and the people who are destined that the old man said have never appeared." Li Huayi said.

"However, everything before will be rewritten at this moment, and the destined person that the palace has been waiting for for for generations has appeared!!" Mo Qifeng looked at me and said.

Why even Mo Qifeng said this about me, I am not the destined person they say, the reason why I can open the stone door has already been said is not my credit alone, but the king still thinks that I am a destined person in the palace, and now even Mo Qifeng thinks so, I am a little embarrassed.

"Cheng Shaoxia, both wisdom and bravery, sure enough, we are guarding the palace, and the person who is waiting for is Cheng Shaoxia!!" Li Huayi also echoed on the side.

"That's it!! At that time, Cheng Shaoxia came to my small blacksmith shop, and I knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary person, and he was indeed a heroic man!! My blacksmith's eye is still very accurate!! Ha!!! Ha!!! Ha!!! The blacksmith laughed heartily.

Wait!!! It seems that this is not the case with my impression, when I came to the blacksmith shop, the blacksmith thought that I was a weak man who could not carry my hands or shoulders. How did it change now that he was here? But when I can see their hearty smiles now, my heart is already very happy.

"Blacksmith, you are really discerning, when Cheng Shaoxia first came to my 'World Sword Pavilion', I thought he was just a child, but I didn't expect that since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers!! Hahaha!! Mo Qifeng also laughed.

Mo Qifeng returned the stone box to my hand, I looked at the stone box carefully, and sure enough, there were really a few words engraved on it, 'His words are on fire'.

'His words are on fire'...... 'His words are on fire'...... 'His words are on fire'......

I silently read it in my heart a few times, what does this mean, could it be that these words are the key to opening this stone box? I still don't know what these words mean.

But I believed that this stone box must be closely related to this strange array, so I reversed the stone box. I saw that the back of the stone box was clearly engraved with several large characters 'Battle of the Three Generals'.

[Note 2] Jingzhou, it is generally believed that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou originally had seven counties: Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County, after the Battle of Chibi, the seven counties of Jingzhou were divided by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, Cao Cao occupied the largest Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou, Sun Quan got Jiangxia County and Nan County, and Liu Bei got four counties in the south of Jingzhou (Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling). Liu Bei's military security was not conducive to development, so he proposed to Sun Quan twice to borrow the southern county of Jingzhou, and Eastern Wu Lusu persuaded Sun Quan to temporarily lend the southern county to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei had five counties of Jingzhou (Nanjun, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling).

Note: Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has divided the Han land into nine regions, the so-called "Kyushu". According to the records of "Shangshu Yugong", the order of Kyushu is: Jizhou, Chongzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou. In the Zhou Dynasty, the two states of Xu and Liang were merged into Qingzhou and Yongzhou respectively, so there was no Xuzhou and Liangzhou.
