Chapter 21: The Sword Comes Out
In this nameless deep mountain.
A man walks around the tomb.
No matter how you look at this picture, there is a bit of a weird taste.
But Nie Yan's righteous appearance will not make people feel any horror.
If there were cultivators here who knew a little bit about the formation, they would know at a glance that Nie Yan seemed to be disorganized, but he was actually following a certain formation.
"If that's good, that's it. If I don't follow a certain pattern, I will touch the formation, and not only will I not get what I am looking for, but I will be in danger. However, it makes sense for the seniors to be so careful. Otherwise, you will be taken away by the wrong-hearted" Nie Yan squatted down, brushing aside the messy grass in front of him, and muttered to himself.
Before saying goodbye, the master told him in detail about the importance and power of this object, and he didn't dare to imagine what would happen if it was really taken by that vicious person.
Soon, the messy grass in front of him was removed, revealing a slick piece of land.
Nie Yan didn't care, and carefully excavated in this area.
With Nie Yan's strength, it was extremely easy to do these things even without tools.
Soon, the land under his feet was dug by Nie Yan with a hole about one meter deep, but there was nothing special except for some stones and plant rhizomes.
Nie Yan was not discouraged, and continued to dig according to this point.
Unexpectedly, I just dug a little more, and finally touched a hard object, a regular rectangle, obviously not a stone.
This made Nie Yan's heart happy, and he dug harder and harder, and finally dug another half a foot or so, and a bluestone floor appeared in front of Nie Yan's eyes.
The stone is a very ordinary bluestone, with some patterns on it, and a hole, which at first glance does not understand what it is for.
But Nie Yan didn't dare to underestimate this stone slab in his heart, because there was a mechanism connected to the formation under the slate, and if the mechanism guessed correctly, it would bury something like flint.
If you don't crack this formation in a certain way and lift the bluestone slab, this flint will explode.
Even if Nie Yanzhi is strong, he will never dare to underestimate the flint arranged by this senior, it is absolutely powerful, and it is impossible to hope that this flint will fail over time.
It can be said that he has combined the methods of cultivators with the methods of the human world, and this senior is really the most eclectic person in the small Taoist world.
Thinking like this, Nie Yan took out a thing from his arms.
A white jade plaque, this is something that everyone in the Dao Realm has, which is equivalent to the identity token of the Dao Realm.
What is not ordinary is that there is a small formation on the token, which has no specific effect, and can gather a little bit of heaven and earth aura, which is better than nothing, mainly used to identify identities.
Glancing at the token in his hand, Nie Yan carefully placed it on the bluestone slab.
As expected, this token just matched the hole left by the bluestone slab, Nie Yan looked down for a while, and couldn't help but sigh: "A stroke of genius." ”
For the formation, Nie Yan is not very proficient, but he can finally see that the formation pattern of the bluestone slab is one line behind and is not complete.
And the formation pattern on the token can just connect the line that is different, and form a tiny formation of gathering aura on the bluestone slab again, and activate the formation on the bluestone slab itself.
How is it not a stroke of genius?
This senior just wants to leave things to the heirs of the Xiaodao world, and this fist heart doesn't understand those masters and ancestors in the Xiaodao world, why the ancestors are so ruthless and don't let him return.
Thinking about it, Nie Yan stretched out his hand, took out a sharp dagger from his arms, and swiped it quickly on his fingers.
Blood poured out of his fingers, and Nie Yan hurriedly dripped it onto the bluestone slab's formation.
The so-called sword with hero, such an important and powerful thing, is not something that ordinary people can control, so the formation pattern of this bluestone slab is actually a 'test' function, which can sense people's blood and soul power, and if it is in line with nature, you can push away this bluestone slab.
"I hope I can, and I hope that my predecessors will be fulfilled." Squatting in the earthen cave, Nie Yan glanced in the direction of the tomb and prayed silently in his heart.
As soon as he thought about it, he heard a crisp sound from under the bluestone slab, and Nie Yan was overjoyed, knowing that this was the point where he disconnected from the flint, where did he dare to hesitate, and quickly lifted the slate.
Under the stone slab, there is a small hole paved with bluestone, the length and width are no more than one meter, but the flint mechanism is really cleverly arranged around it.
Nie Yan took a closer look, deduced in his heart, and couldn't help but let cold sweat drip down, if it was forcibly opened, no matter which direction it came from, it would explode.
In addition, there are some other organs, which Nie Yan doesn't recognize too much.
In addition to these, there was a rectangular wooden box in this stone cave, and there was also an object tightly wrapped with leather paper, Nie Yan quickly took it out, carefully removed those mechanisms, so as not to accidentally injure innocent people who did not know in the future, and then restored all the qiē to its original state, and then showed a happy smile.
Holding the wooden box and the leather paper bag, Nie Yan walked to the tomb again, knelt down again, thanked his predecessors for his success, and then sat next to the tomb and opened the two things in his hand.
First of all, it was wrapped in vellum, and when it was opened, it was a booklet.
It describes the life of the owner of the tomb in detail, Nie Yan looked at it, and calculated it in his heart according to the generation, the owner of the tomb should be a person of the master's generation, strictly speaking, it should be the master's junior brother, judging from his simple account of his affairs in the small dao world, the relationship with the master seems to be quite good.
"It should be good, otherwise how would Master know these secrets?" Nie Yan muttered to himself as he watched.
Continue to look, it is to see a similar life experience as himself, this uncle (according to the generation should be called uncle), also since he was a child, the village was harmed by the demon disaster, the village people do not exist, he was fortunate to be rescued, and he made an oath to kill the demon since he was a child.
After entering the small path realm, he practiced hard, and when it came to talent, no one could stand out except for the master.
I also invited Master to go down the mountain together, and then return to the mountain as a career.
But he was rejected by the master, saying that he had a more important mission in this life, so he could only go down the mountain alone.
After that, it was to record his career of slaying demons and demons, and Nie Yan couldn't help but be fascinated by it, and he also knew that the world is so big, not all cultivators come from the small path realm.
Moreover, among these cultivators, many outstanding people have a common identity as demon hunters!
Demon hunters come from cultivators, but they are not exactly cultivators, because most cultivators pay attention to pure cultivation and inaction, while demon hunters carry the mandate of heaven all their lives, practice in slaying demons and demons, accumulate merits, etc., which can only be said to be a special group of cultivators.
In addition, the demon hunters are also divided into different forces, and the biggest force is naturally the demon hunters from the 'official', who are subordinate to the 'imperial court', but are not completely subject to the imperial court, nor are they loyal to any dynasty.
To put it simply, whoever is the Son of Heaven and who has great luck in the world will be attached to whom this official demon hunter organization is attached.
The main thing is to calm the folk demon disasters for the Son of Heaven and stabilize the world.
In addition, there are also many demon hunters who form families or walk alone, which makes Nie Yan surprised again and again.
It turns out that there are so many secrets in the red dust world?
These records are due to the need to eliminate demons, astronomy and geography are all-encompassing, and Nie Yan sat like this, and saw the sunset from the morning.
only to find that the record suddenly turned around and became blurry.
Except for a few vague sentences that don't know what they're talking about, there's no incident.
Nie Yan felt strange, and couldn't help but flip quickly, but found that it was completely blank in the later stage, and only one sentence was mentioned repeatedly: "If you make a big mistake, you don't wake up, and you don't even know how to choose?" A lifetime statement can be thrown, but it cannot be tolerated by the world. It's hard to go back, let's go! ”
Three words in a row are like exhausting countless bitterness and helplessness, and there is also a kind of hatred that is still not sober even so.
In the end, there was only one sentence left that was incomplete and incomplete: 'Be careful'.
What are these words? Sirius? Tengu? It's clearly just a messy symbol, and it can be connected into a lot of words, Nie Yan looked upside down, and he couldn't see the reason, and he was also curious in his heart, what happened to this uncle who was clearly a hero in the later part of his life?
Let him be a hero, the master will be difficult to return, the world will not tolerate it, and he will even die here in obscurity and be buried in this nameless and dangerous place.
I'm afraid that even in the small Dao realm, except for the master who has a very good relationship with him, not many people even know that he is buried here, right?
These made Nie Yan sigh.
Looking at the bottom of the mountain, I realized that it was already sunset, and the golden waves were slowly sprinkled on the surface of the river, like a golden torrent meandering, flowing to the distant mountains, which made people feel proud.
Putting down the booklet in his hand, Nie Yan couldn't take any more to look at the most precious records such as the characteristics of the various monsters recorded by the senior uncle in the back, the general distribution places, and so on.
Instead, he eagerly took the rectangular wooden box and opened it.
This is the real purpose of his trip, to get this nameless sword of demon slayer.
The wooden box opened, and an iron sword that looked very ordinary, without a scabbard, and even the handle was just an iron sword wrapped with ordinary rattan, appeared in front of Nie Yan's eyes.
Despite this ordinary, Nie Yan was still overjoyed in his heart.
Because the moment the wooden box was opened, he felt a faint resonance that seemed to be nothing, like an illusion, but it made him feel a little kind of affection for this sword.
He still held it down, reached out and took out this sword, held it in his hand, and it was quite heavy in his hand, which was different from the lightness he imagined.
Between the swings, even the humble sword handle felt extremely compatible.
This made Nie Yan can't help but look up to the sky and roar.
Under the sunset, on the top of the mountain, the young man is enthusiastic.
And in the future, will Jianghu Road be able not to add a little melancholy and regret?
