Ding Qin didn't ask again. In the face of such a situation, he knew how to ensure his safety.

"What is your name, what is your origin, and what are your intentions at the bottom of the cliff?" the old man's tone returned to the deep and steady way it had been.

"My name is Ding Qin, the son of Ding Shouyi, the former general of Kaiyuan City in the Thirteen Towns in the north, and I am the capital of the emperor, so I take the Longyang Ancient Road as the way. It has been cut off by the Jinsha cliff. In order to find a way to cross the cliff, I went down the cliff to explore. Ding Qin said it very calmly, because he didn't feel that his reasons were unacceptable.

"To go to the imperial capital, there is obviously an official road, why do you choose the Longyang Ancient Road? You know, this is an ancient road full of dangers. When the old man spoke, there seemed to be a lot of memories in his eyes.

"The official road is controlled by the rebels in Changmao Town, and it is impassable. After Ding Qin finished speaking, he added, "Moreover, I offended the current general of Kaiyuan City, and the situation is also tense." ”

After listening to this, the old man did not make any comment, "What is the purpose of your visit to the imperial capital?"

Ding Qin said, "I want to go to the province directly under my direct jurisdiction." ”

"The province directly under the royal family?" the old man repeated, "The province directly under the royal family cannot receive an ordinary person like you." If you have something to do, you should go to one of the six departments in the three provinces. ”

Ding Qin said, "But this matter is not a province directly under the royal family." Because, my father, Ding Shouyi, went to Chiyan Mountain to carry out his mission because he received a secret letter from the province directly under him. As a result, there was no news again. I want to go to the imperial capital, just to ask the province directly, where Chiyan Mountain is, I want to go to my father. ”

The old man smiled bitterly, "Young man, you are looking for your father, and I can understand your feelings." But this province is not something that ordinary people can enter. Moreover, the orders of the provinces directly under them are all secret letters. It doesn't matter how you see the secret letter. However, what I want to tell you is that even if you go to the province, you will not be able to achieve your goal. ”

Ding Qin clenched his fists lightly, "You are not the governor of the province directly under you, how can you make a conclusion? Besides, if I go, I may not be able to achieve the goal, and if I don't go, I will definitely not be able to achieve the goal." Looking for my father, I have only one way. I don't want to be blocked by any difficulty. ”

"Hahahaha. The old man looked up and laughed, "Good boy, at least he is more determined." Then let me ask you, what is your current level of cultivation?"

"The first order of spiritual power is five layers. Ding Qin told the truth.

"First and fifth floors?" the old man's eyes were somewhat surprised, but he finally shook his head. "You should be seventeen or eighteen, right?"

Ding Qin nodded, "In another three months, it will be almost nineteen." ”

The old man said, "Judging from your age and cultivation, at least your qualifications are among the upper echelons. If you devote yourself to cultivation, maybe in a few years, you will be the best in the world. ”

"I can't even figure out the whereabouts of my family, even if I dominate the world, what's the use?" Ding Qin suddenly became a little excited when he heard this.

There was some approval in the old man's eyes, but his tone did not change in the slightest. "When I say that, I'm protecting you. Okay, what the three of you said is basically the same on the key points, at least, we won't kill you now. ”

Ding Qin's heart relaxed a little, "The two of them, are they okay now?"

The old man said, "It's okay. Later, I'll arrange for you to meet them. Also, there's one more thing to ask you. ”

He asked someone to bring over a pile of broken materials, "You made this thing?"

Ding Qin carefully distinguished it before he recognized it as the wreckage of a glider. He nodded, "That's right, I did it." We wanted to use this device to fly over the cliffs. ”

The old man smiled slightly, "If you want to fly over, at least with the cultivation of you people, it is impossible." However, the formation on this thing is exquisite, and I want you to make a copy of it to me. ”

When Ding Qin heard this, a little hope immediately rose in his heart, "Then, can you exchange it for crossing the cliff?"

The old man's face sank, "You guys are still in my hands, where do you have the confidence to negotiate terms with me?"

Ding Qin said, "Everything in the world is no match for the word fairness." Even if a wicked person does all the unfair things, I am afraid that he will die in the end in a fair and just punishment. ”

The old man's expression became a little strange, "Is it fair and just? No one has said this word to me for a long time." However, just one formation can't meet the conditions for us to send you out of the valley. ”

Ding Qin frowned, "Then, what conditions do you want?"

"We don't lack anything, we don't miss anything, we just want to see some hope. I want this formation, it's just that I'm curious. However, according to the three of you people who are under the cliff, so far, I do not see any hope that the province will tell you the truth. Since you have no hope, I will not send you over the cliff. The calmer the old man's tone, the more uncomfortable Ding Qin's heart became.

"Then what is hope?" Ding Qin didn't want to give up, at least he had to ask some signs.

"The secret letters of the provinces directly under the province are all top secrets of the empire. Including the Chiyan Mountain you mentioned, we don't know where it is. And unrelated personnel involved in the top secrets of the empire are often killed by the provinces directly under them. Unless, this person has characteristics beyond ordinary people and can be used by the province directly under him. But you, you, I don't think there are many places beyond ordinary people. Including your cultivation and age, although it is rare, there is no shortage of them in the Haohao Empire. ”

Ding Qin agreed with what the old man said, he could not be regarded as that kind of peerless genius.

However, beyond the characteristics of ordinary people, Ding Qin does not feel far away. Because in the sea of knowledge, there is a bone soul.

The knowledge of the bone soul is indescribable, Ding Qin is indescribable. So now, he's talking to the bone soul about what he can come up with.

However, the memory of the bone soul is not complete. At this time, he was in a hurry, and he didn't even come up with anything special.

Ding Qin's heart was half cold. But soon, he thought of something else.

"A hundred years ago, the imperial capital was in distress, and a strange army rescued from the Longyang Ancient Road, and it also faced the problem of a big cliff. Why did you help them through?"

The old man was slightly stunned. Immediately, he said, "It is our duty to protect the royal family. At that time, it was a fact that the imperial capital was in distress, and our ancestors sent people to verify it. Moreover, there are many large armies, and they have enough strength to relieve the difficulties of the imperial capital. ”

Ding Qin smiled slightly after hearing this, "Then, my father disappeared due to the execution of the secret order, and there has been no news so far, does it mean that there may be problems in the implementation of the secret order of the empire? Since it is a secret order, it must be a big matter, so we should go and find out." ”

The old man seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and retorted, "Is your cultivation enough to investigate? When your father goes to execute the secret order, it should be more than the fifth level of spiritual power." Among the three of you, the highest cultivation is no more than the seventh level of the first order of spiritual power. This kind of cultivation, in the imperial capital, can trample several to death with one foot. Besides, if you are really so confident, why do you only take the Longyang Ancient Road instead of the official road? It shows that you don't even have the confidence to defeat the rebels, but just want to bypass the rebels to control the territory and have less trouble. ”

Although Ding Qin disagreed with what the old man said, he was speechless to refute it, and he was speechless for a while.

The old man didn't seem to want to say anything more, so he turned around and said, "I'll arrange for you to meet the two of them." After a meal for you, I will send you back to the cliff. The Jinsha Cliff is a big barrier in the imperial capital, and even if you have a good reason to go to the imperial capital, we can't just let people go. Because this is not an ordinary path. ”

"What if I have to go over?" Ding Qin was in a hurry, and involuntarily came up with such a sentence.

"Wow", there was a soft sound of armor, and the old man had already turned around. Beside him, an entourage, the long sword had already put on Ding Qin's shoulder.

This person's movements were so fast, Ding Qin barely had any chance to dodge.

There were faintly flowing red lines on the sword's body, exuding a scorching airflow, which made Ding Qin obviously feel the scorching heat.

"Red fire and gold. I didn't expect such legendary materials to appear here. The bone soul quickly recognized the material used to make this sword and told Ding Qin. Since the red flame flow metal is a very niche material, there should be very few people who know and know the bone soul, so Ding Qin said it directly, hoping to make the old man change his attitude.

The old man really frowned slightly. "How do you know?" he asked.

Ding Qin said, "You don't need to ask the reason, I know it." ”

The old man raised his hand, and the man withdrew his sword. "And what else do you know?"

With that, he lifted his sword straight up.

Contrary to the sword just now, there were silver lines flowing on the sword's body, and a cool feeling came through the air.

"Ice jade mercury. Under the prompting of the bone soul, Ding Qin quickly spoke.

The old man was about to say something, but Ding Qin's gaze swept over several swords one by one, and he took the initiative to speak, "The other three should be green trees, ten thousand years of dark gold, and ten thousand ancient black rocks." ”

Not only the old man, but the expressions of the other four froze in unison.

In their hearts, these four materials, in the information left to them by their ancestors, are all peerless treasure-level things, especially after the casting of these four swords, the materials have never been found again. Moreover, they should have lived in seclusion here for hundreds of years for generations, and the outside world's understanding of these materials should have long been lost in the long river of history.

However, such an eighteen-year-old boy said the names of the materials of these five swords just as well!

It's simply impossible!

In their puzzled gazes, Ding Qin spoke again, "Hundreds of years ago, the Xuantian Empire produced a king, which can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented. He swept across the entire Xuanling Continent, almost unifying all the empires that existed. He is the Lingyuan Emperor who created the most glorious period of the Xuantian Empire. If I'm not mistaken, I know who you are. ”
