Chapter Seventy-Three: The Royal Guard

Several people present were so shocked that their mouths were half open and half closed. Because, from what Ding Qin said, it can be judged that their identities are indeed no longer a secret.

Ding Qin continued, "According to legend, Emperor Lingyuan has a royal guard on the side. There are five generals in the guard, all of whom are extremely brave. In recognition of their exploits, Emperor Lingyuan used the five rare treasures obtained in the course of the conquest as materials to create five peerless divine weapons. These five materials are 10,000-year-old dark gold, green trees, ice jade mercury, red fire flowing gold, and ancient black rock. ”

"Because of the five materials, which correspond to the five properties of the five elements, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, under the research of the five generals, a formation has been created, called the Five Elements Breaking the Enemy Formation. After this formation was used in the battle, Emperor Lingyuan was even more invincible. ”

However, at the most glorious moment of Emperor Lingyuan, he died suddenly. No one knows the cause of his death. The foundation of the Xuanling Empire, which he founded single-handedly, was gradually encroached upon by other countries. And the royal guards that accompanied him all his life, including the five generals and the five divine soldiers, also suddenly disappeared. ”

"Now, these five divine weapons appear here," Ding Qin's gaze swept over these five people, "and you are exactly five people." Of course, you can't be the five great generals, because people can't live that long. However, you may be the descendants of the five great generals. ”

"The five generals and their guards live in seclusion here, and no one can really imagine it. After Ding Qin finished speaking, he sighed lightly.

Some of these contents were said by the bone soul, and some of them were learned by him when he studied history.

The old man was silent for a long time, and then suddenly laughed and said, "Good, good, good." Sure enough, there are some differences. I didn't expect that not only could I recognize these five divine weapons, but also think of our identity, and your knowledge accumulation is extraordinary. ”

Ding Qin said, "The world originally thought that the five generals and Emperor Lingyuan went to Huangquan together. Unexpectedly, they came here. ”

The old man exhaled slowly, "This is the last training of Emperor Lingyuan, since our ancestors came here, we have been living in seclusion, and we have maintained the ancestral tradition of military training. The five divine soldiers are all inherited and guarded by the most outstanding people among the five generals, and they will never dare to be negligent. ”

"You said before that you are guarding the royal family. This may be your ancestral teachings. But when the royal family was in crisis a hundred years ago, you didn't step up. This shows that your so-called protection of safety does not only refer to a certain emperor of the royal family. What you are guarding should be something else. Ding Qin said this and paused.

The surprised expressions of the five people had long been a habit.

"What you are guarding should be the coffin of Emperor Lingyuan!"

As soon as Ding Qin said this, the bodies of the five people trembled in unison.

Ding Qin didn't wait for them to say anything, and continued, "When Emperor Lingyuan died, no one knew where he was buried. Over the years, there have always been attempts to search for the burial place of the emperor, but nothing has been found. Just like the cause of Emperor Lingyuan's death, it has become an unsolved mystery. If you think about it, the reason why this is the case is because Emperor Lingyuan should have been buried by the royal guards back then. After the burial, the royal guards entered the Jinsha Cliff, and naturally there was no news outflow. ”

"However, I now know where the tomb of Emperor Lingyuan is. When Ding Qin said this, these people trembled again. One of them directly put the sword on Ding Qin's shoulder again.

The old man took a deep breath and motioned for the man to take the sword off. "Tell me about it. ”

Ding Qin said, "In the desert, the appearance of Longyang Ancient Road is unreasonable. Moreover, this also says what was the official way of the past. In fact, now it seems that the Longyang Ancient Road is the way of the tomb of Emperor Lingyuan. And the tomb of the Great,"

He took a deep breath, "It's in the Longkou Oasis." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the five of them changed color in unison.

The old man took a step forward, "Who else knows about this?"

Ding Qin said, "I'm just making an inference based on the current series of clues. Come to think of it, burying Lingyuan the Great in the desert is a very safe choice. Because the emperor's burial is mostly a place of mountains and rivers, in the desert, it is a harsh place, and it is disrespectful to the dead. It's an extraordinary choice of mind. This is one of them. ”

"Second, the Longkou Oasis, although it is an oasis, is easy to attract people, but it is precisely because of this that it will not be noticed. Even if someone thought that the emperor was buried in the desert, he would never have thought that the place where he was buried was a relatively easy place to find, right under people's noses. ”

"Third, the Longkou Oasis now has a large amount of Nine Heavens Dark Iron exposed. This precious material is also a rare thing. Only a great person like Emperor Lingyuan had the strength to collect so many Nine Heavens Xuantie. It's like he collected five kinds of divine weapon materials in the first place. ”

Originally, Ding Qin also wanted to say that the design of the tomb formation under the Longkou Oasis was exquisite. But on second thought, these people exist to protect the tomb, and if they say that they have entered the tomb, then it is possible to be killed and killed.

To ensure safety, he didn't say any more.

These people didn't think it was strange for Ding Qin to recognize the Nine Heavens Xuantie. The old man's expression suddenly became stern, "Have you ever entered the Great Emperor Spirit Tomb?" Otherwise, how could you deduce so much?"

Ding Qin was naturally prepared for this question, "If I had entered the tomb, would I have said it in front of you?" You are the people who guard the tomb, and if I said that if I entered the tomb, maybe I would die soon." ”

The old man nodded, "That's it, that's it." The emperor's testament also said that no matter how exquisite the design of his tomb is, it will be discovered one day. As long as he escapes the limelight, he will keep the lifeblood of the Xuantian Empire. Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and the Xuantian Empire has been thriving, and this limelight has already been calculated. It doesn't matter if you've been to the tomb or not. However, I want you to assure me that you are not to reveal to anyone about the location of the Emperor's tomb. Include people on your party. ”

Ding Qin nodded, "Don't worry, I can definitely do this." ”

The old man said, "We have a reason to kill you, and we have a reason not to kill you." Now I decide, not to kill you. A big reason is that in addition to your persistence in overcoming difficulties to find your father, there is also your cleverness. It's a shame to kill you. The Empire needs people like you. Although I don't know, the province will be able to find your merits. ”

Ding Qin said, "Thank you for the praise of your predecessors." In fact, after thousands of years, guarding in one place, I also greatly admire your faith. ”

The old man smiled bitterly, "Forget it, don't compliment us." Awesome, you're really smarter than I thought. You said before, 'You are the son of a general in which city?'

Ding Qin responded, "Kaiyuan City, Ding Shouyi." ”

The old man shook his head, "No, the general of Kaiyuan City shouldn't be surnamed Ding." But you know so much. ”

"Why shouldn't the general of Kaiyuan City be surnamed Ding?" Ding Qin was very curious about this statement.

The old man said, "You guessed our identity, but you don't know other historical facts. That's right, we are after the five generals of the Royal Guard. Outside the house, there are currently thousands of people. These people are all descendants of the backbone of the guard. We have selected the elite forces of each generation in the descendants and have maintained a team of 1,000 people. ”

"However, the original royal guard was not more than a thousand. Ding Qin quickly discovered the key point.

The old man said, "Yes." That's exactly what I'm going to say. After the funeral of the Emperor, the Royal Guards guarded the coffin of the Emperor in accordance with the training. In addition to us as a hidden soldier in the Jinsha Great Cliff, there are thirteen forces, built in the bright place. ”

As soon as the thirteen forces were mentioned, thinking of the old man saying that General Kaiyuan City should not be surnamed Ding, Ding Qin immediately understood. "Thirteen Towns in the North! The Thirteen Towns in the North were originally branches of the Royal Guard!"

The old man nodded, "That's right. If you have studied the map, you can find that although the Thirteen Towns are coastal and form a natural barrier with the Star Empire, they are basically arranged in an arc centered on the Longkou Oasis. In that year, thirteen forces built a city in Biansai, which not only protected the cemetery, but also effectively prevented the counterattack of the Star Empire. But I didn't expect that the generals of the Thirteen Towns had already changed their surnames. ”

Ding Qin said, "It should be from a very early age, and the general who guards the city has been appointed by the royal family. Probably, there was a general who died in battle, and there was no successor. ”

There was a slight sadness on the old man's face, "They are all true warriors. Unlike us, we live in seclusion, where there has been no war for thousands of years. ”

Ding Qin's respect also rose from his heart, "You are all warriors of the empire. ”

The old man did not speak. After a while, he sighed, "Ding Qin, you come with me." ”

With that, he turned around and walked out the door.

Leaving the room, there was light outside. Although it is covered by clouds and the sun does not shine directly, it does not feel gloomy.

As far as the eye can see, it is exactly what a town looks like.

The town still retains a very quaint style, and the men and women are dressed like in history textbooks.

The people outside saluted one after another when they saw these five people walking by. And the way they looked at Ding Qin, it was as if they had seen a monster.

As the old man walked for a while, Ding Qin entered another room. Here, Feng Lei and the leader of the precursor team were sitting in chairs.

As soon as they saw Ding Qin, the two of them were greatly surprised, and they stepped forward one after another, "Childe, why did you come down too?"

Ding Qin was also very excited in his heart, and shook the hands of the two tightly, "It's okay, everyone is okay." ”

Feng Lei said, "What about the others?"

Ding Qin shook his head, "It's still on the cliff." ”

A look of disappointment appeared in Feng Lei's eyes. He looked at the old man behind Ding Qin, and said to Ding Qin, "Then how do we cross the cliff?"

Speaking of this, Ding Qin turned his head and looked at the old man, "Senior, can you send us over the cliff?"

He thought that according to the old man's affirmation of him, he should agree now. Unexpectedly, the old man said two words very calmly: "No." ”

Ding Qin was stunned. Then, he couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
