Rogan strode on the official road leading to Xiangyang, and his demeanor was quite leisurely. At this time, it is already March weather, although the grass grows and the warbler flies, but the morning and evening have seen a little cool, and the few pedestrians on this road have also added single clothes on their bodies. Only this Logan is different from others, he is still wearing a snow-white robe today, and his long black hair is still casually draped over his shoulders, but there is one more thing in his hand, which is a short sword about five feet long.

In the eyes of others, Logan's current outfit looks too thin, and it doesn't seem to be suitable for this solar term. However, in Logan's own opinion, he has to dress like this today to bring out his grace and uniqueness. Since getting the Chongyang notes, Luo Gen returned to the ancient tomb and began to concentrate on cultivation, the innate skill is not to blame Wang Chongyang did not pass on to the disciples and grandchildren, it is really the first condition for the introduction of the innate skill, it requires a hundred veins, that is, the strength must reach the innate realm above, where is this martial arts technique, it is obviously the basic secret book of cultivation, and it is no wonder that the innate skill is rumored to be left by Lu Dongbin.

After Luo Gen was transformed by the space-time bead, he was born with a hundred veins, so he immediately dispersed the true qi of the Nine Yin True Scripture and the Nine Yang Divine Skill, and began to cultivate the innate skill, but the dispersed true qi made his Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong directly reach the sixth layer, so as soon as the winter passed, Rogan prepared to go to the Western Regions to find the last few layers of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong. After showing Li Xin'er the reason for leaving, Li Xin'er didn't say anything, but opened the wooden box she brought when the two first met, when the complete book of Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong and "Twenty-eight Palms of Descending Dragon", "Dog Stick Method", "Northern Shengong", "Little Wuxiang Shengong", "Tianshan Folding Plum Hand", "Eight Desolations and Liuhe Only I Respect Gong", "Tianshan Six Yang Palms", "Life and Death Charm", "White Rainbow Palm", "Lingbo Weibu", "Life and Death Charm", "Dou Zhuan Xingxing", "Six Veins Divine Sword" and other cheats were placed in front of Luo Gan. He finally knew the specific identities of Li Xin'er and Lin Yue'e, Li Xin'er is the descendant of Xuzhu, and Lin Yue'e is the descendant of Ah Bi and Murong Fu, because Ah Bi's surname is Lin.

After no longer having to go to the Western Regions, Luo Gen began to transfer to Xiangyang, with the purpose of nothing more than two items - "Dugu Nine Swords" and Bodhi Qu Snake Snake Gall.

Rogan thought as he walked, his feet unconsciously marching in the direction of Xiangyang, and the short sword in his hand also hit a few spinning flowers from time to time. By the way, here I have to talk about the short sword in his hand! This short sword was specially made by Logan in a steel factory in Hamburg, Germany, in the world of the League of Assassins, and the style is quite different from the swords used in today's martial arts, when Rogan built a variety of cold weapons, as many as more than 400 pieces, for which more than two million dollars were spent, and the world's best alloy steel was used.

The style of this short sword is extremely exquisite, with scales faintly visible on the dark green scabbard, and a snow-white spike of a foot long fluttering in the wind from the hilt. The full length of the short sword is one foot five inches, the hilt has no gauntlets, the body is about half an inch thick, and the blade is double-sided. Drawn out, the cold light is shining, and it is extremely sharp, although it is not a peerless blade, but it can also be blown and broken.

The scabbard of the short sword was made of a piece of crocodile skin, and it cost Logan more than fifty thousand dollars just to make this short sword.

Why make a short sword? Logan has some truth here. It turned out that since he left Huo Yuanjia's world, he had always felt that his hands were always empty, and he was a little unaccustomed to it. I want to get something like a jade xiao or a jade flute! But he can't blow it! You can take a fan! But he thinks that won't he become Ouyang Ke like that? Or get a sword? It was too long and too ugly for him to like! Only this short sword is the best, it does not take up space and can be used for self-defense, and it is suitable for holding in the hand to play, so Logan specially went to fight this short sword.

Time flew by, and before I knew it, it was already afternoon, and I saw that the sky was about to get dark in another hour. Logan came out of an inn halfway through the morning and had been walking for nearly a day now, but he had not encountered a single village on the way, so he was a little anxious.

Because I felt that it was too cumbersome to carry the burden, and it would damage my free and easy image, so Logan didn't bring anything with him this time. Just tied a purse embroidered with red Ru embroidery around his waist, filled some loose silver taels and came out. Anyway, he has the treasure of the space-time bead. At this time, it was getting late, there was no one on the road, and Wu Dunru was a little hungry, so he hurriedly used his innate skills and strode forward to catch up.

Logan threw off his big stride and took a step forward as if he were taking one step at a time, and the speed of the march was immediately much faster, and he could take more than two feet with each step. I only felt that a warm true qi in my body rose from the dantian, and traveled along the meridians of Zhou Tian, and then it was divided into two, straight to the soles of my feet. In this way, I didn't feel my heartbeat and panting at all, but it showed the wonder of the innate martial arts. It's just that Logan's posture in the walking room is not very chic, which makes people feel that this person's pace is too rapid and too heavy. It's not like people who rush with extreme light skills, the speed is fast, and there is no trace of fireworks. Because he was dedicated to practicing innate skills, Ling Bo Weibu did not start to learn.

After walking like this for more than half an hour, Logan had already driven out a distance of more than ten miles, and a market town appeared not far ahead, looking at the wisps of cooking smoke floating in the sky above this market town, it seemed that there were really a lot of people in the town. Slowing down, Logan went into the market town to find a restaurant, sat down and ordered two kinds of wine and food and a few steamed buns, and hurriedly added to his stomach. After he had his stomach filled, he called Xiao Er and asked him about the location of this market town.

After waiting for the little two to answer, Luo Gen knew that the market town he was in now was called Liujiaji, which was not far from Xiangyang City, only more than ten miles away.

Logan thought about it for a while, and the place where Dugu's bones were buried in the original book should be nearby, so he asked Xiao Er again. Ask him if he knows any of the woodcutter villagers in the vicinity, but if anyone has seen anything strange or a big bird or anything like that.

Sure enough, when he asked, Xiao Er immediately remembered that there was once a woodcutter nearby who had seen a strange golden snake in the West Mountain. Logan inquired about the location again, got up and rewarded him with a piece of silver, and then checked out and left, finding an inn in town for a night.

More than ten miles away from Xiangyang City, there is a continuous mountain range, which is full of tall and dense pine and cypress jungles. Crossing the outskirts of the mountains and descending into the jungle for about six or seven miles, a very steep cliff appeared in front of you. This cliff is shaped like a huge screen, rising to the sky, and in the middle of the cliff about 20 zhang from the ground, there is a big stone of three or four zhang square, it is like a platform, and there are words faintly carved on the stone. Looking up, I can clearly see that it is the two big characters of "Sword Shrine".

With a tired look on his face, Logan stood under a cypress tree half a mile away, looked up at the two big characters carved on the cliff, and sighed slightly. It's been three days, and Rogan has been looking for three days in a radius of dozens of miles in this mountain range, and he has endured all the hardships until now, and he can only find this "sword mound". However, it is said that in order to find a lonely retreat, Logan actually searched for three days outside Xiangyang City, and endured all the hardships before finally finding the "Sword Tomb".

It stands to reason that the retreat of Dugu should not be so difficult to find, just because Logan entered the mountain in the wrong direction. Luo Gen entered the mountain in the direction that Xiao Er told him, but he didn't want to go in two directions from the valley where Yang Guo met the Condor later. There are several mountains in the south and the north, and the straight line is more than twenty miles apart, how can Logan find the location of the sword mound at once?

And because he was afraid of alarming the Condor, Logan didn't dare to hunt the prey and make a fire, so he ate all the dry food and cooked beef he bought in the market town before entering the mountain, and drank the water from the mountain stream and spring, and once met a leopard when he was resting and falling asleep, and almost gave away his life, which was really hard.

But now that he has found the location of the "Sword Shrine", the hard work of the past few days has suddenly been left behind by Rogan. As long as you can get the Dugu Nine Swords, what is the pain in front of you? Shaking his spirits, Logan held the short sword in his hand and walked towards the cliff with a step. He hadn't taken a few steps when he suddenly heard three extremely vigorous and strange chirps of "cooing", and he hurriedly leaned down, hidden behind a thick cypress tree, and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

There were a few more strange chirps, and then a large eagle strode towards the southeast of the cliff. The eagle was huge, taller than a man, ugly, with a crooked beak and a large blood-red sarcoma on the top of its head. The feathers on its whole body are sparse, its legs are very thick, but its wings are very short, it looks ancient and majestic, although it looks ugly, it has its own majestic spirit, and it must be the condor that Dugu seeks defeat.

This condor came to the bottom of the cliff, stretched out its claws to grasp the cave on the cliff, and successively jumped up to the platform, which should have gone to see the "sword mound".

Logan hid behind the tree, not moving, even the sound of his breathing was extremely subtle, he didn't want to come into direct contact with the Condor. Because he re-cultivated again, with his current martial arts, if he is against the Divine Condor, I am afraid that he is really not an opponent, and it is not bad to be able to save a small life. Before I knew it, two more days had passed, and two days later, in the early morning, at the mouth of a cave two miles away from the sword mound, Logan was carefully entering the cave.

It turned out that since he saw this Condor two days ago, Logan secretly followed it to the cave where Dugu sought defeat and seclusion, and has been hiding in the dark to observe this Condor. After two days of careful observation, Logan had already figured out the habits of this divine eagle. The eagle likes to go out every morning to drink under a waterfall in the mountains, and after drinking the water, it will go to the sword mound for a while, and so on for about two hours, and then it will return to the cave mouth for a day, and then it will not go to forage for food until the evening.

If you want to find Dugu Jiujian, there is only one place to look, and that is this cave. The old man of the sword mound Jin has already said very clearly, there are only a few swords in it, and there is no sword spectrum. The early morning and evening time periods of the Condor are not in the cave, and it is the best time to touch them. But at night, it is dark in the cave, and it is inconvenient to find the sword spectrum, and the ignition is afraid of luring the Condor back, so the only chance is to sneak in early in the morning and find the sword spectrum before the Condor returns.

Logan waited until the Condor had left today, and then he cautiously sneaked into the cave. This cave is quite spacious, there is a stone table and a stone bench in it, and there are words carved on the cave wall, and there is a pile of rubble stones piled up at the corner of the cave to make a tomb shape. Logan walked up to the pile of rocks, bowed his hand and bowed three times, bowing down to him for refusing, he hated men with soft knees so much.

After the salute, Logan didn't waste any more time, and stepped forward to pick up the pile of stones. According to his inference, that Dugu sought defeat as a momentary masterpiece, and he had never met an opponent in the world during his lifetime, and he might not be willing to let people discover his remains after his death. Moreover, even if the Condor is psychic, it may not be able to understand the truth that people need to be buried after death. Therefore, there may not be any bones in this pile of rocks, and perhaps this tomb was built by his own hands. The real bones of Dugu Qiuqiu should be buried in another hidden place, or they may be scattered in the deep mountains and rivers at will, which is also consistent with his identity. So Logan didn't think much about it, and after a while, he picked up the pile of rocks.

Sure enough, after the stone pile was opened, there were really no human bones inside, even the animal bones were not seen, and there was only one thing inside, which was a rough stone box a foot long. Wu Dunru opened the stone box and saw a silk book in the box, and there were four big characters written on the cover of the silk book: "Dugu Nine Swords". Needless to say, he quickly piled the stones back up, turned and walked out of the hole, and Logan scurried away in the right direction.

"For more than 30 years, I have killed all the enemies and defeated the heroes, and there is no resistance in the world, and there is nothing to do, but to live in seclusion in the deep valley and take the eagle as a friend. Woohoo, I can't get an opponent in my life, and I'm embarrassed to be lonely. The sword demon is lonely and seeks defeat. ”

Flipping through the cover of Dugu Jiujian's sword spectrum, the content of the first page inside is these few lines, with not many words and not much handwriting. But looking at these few lines of small words, Rogan was really impressed in his heart. Thinking of Dugu's defeat in the past, a sword in hand, sweeping the world, no one can stop its sharpness! How majestic is that? How domineering? Being a man can go so far, it can really be said that he lives up to this life, like such a heroic and domineering, how can it not be fascinating?

Logan looked at the silk book for a long time, and it took half a sound for his boiling mood to calm down. When I opened the sword book to the second page, I saw that there were a few more lines of small print written on it.

"Yu learned the sword at the age of six, and he could compete with Shuo before the weak crown, and he was rampant in the world by forty, and there was no rival. After living in seclusion in the valley, with the eagle as a companion, since then not stuck in things, grass, trees, bamboo and stone can be swords, gradually in the realm of no sword is better than sword. Dugu Nine Swords is the culmination of Yu Life's sword practice, a total of nine styles, Yu is confident that with this nine swords can break the world's martial arts, no one can resist. If the younger generation of children is destined to get my swordsmanship, he should study the essence of it, persistently sweep the world, do not fall into my prestige, and seek defeat alone. ”

When Logan saw this, he couldn't help but smile on his lips, thinking that although this Dugu seeking defeat is called seeking defeat, he is also said to be overjoyed when he can get defeat. But in fact, he may not really want to be defeated, otherwise why would he leave this statement in the sword spectrum? Do you want future generations not to fall into his prestige? Hehe, is it really "unbearable in high places"? Not necessarily! People who are really at the top will never want to fall again! "There is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts." This sentence really speaks to human nature, and no one doesn't want to be at the top.

Next, the third page of this sword spectrum is the mental formula of Dugu Jiujian. Sword-breaking, sword-breaking、... and even the palm-breaking style, a total of nine styles of swordsmanship, more than 3,000 words of general know-how.

Rogan roughly read the mental formula, and found that the meaning in this mental formula is extremely difficult to understand. And so on and so forth. But they are all the directions and nouns on the sixty-four hexagrams of "Zhou Yi". Dugu seeks defeat is to use these to show the change in the direction of the swordsmanship, but Logan has not even read what "Zhou Yi" is, how can he understand this?

There was no way, Logan had no choice but to put away the sword book and go around the town to make noise, and finally found an old master who knew "Zhou Yi" for him. gave the old master thirty taels of silver, and then Luo Gen went to ask him every day about the direction of the sixty-four hexagrams of "Zhou Yi", and finally returned to the inn to cooperate with the mantra of Dugu Jiujian to participate in the study.

Fortunately, Luo Gen was very interested in this Dugu Nine Swords, and knew that in the future, he must understand the change of direction when he practiced the body method, light skills, Ling Bo Weibu, etc., so although the direction of the sixty-four hexagrams was difficult, he still put his heart and mind to study hard with the old master. It took more than ten days to finally memorize the directions of the sixty-four hexagrams, and the first final form of Dugu Jiujian was also studied by him to learn two or three points.

The gist of Dugu Jiujian is very simple, it is just to anticipate the enemy's opportunity, in the final analysis, it is still a "fast" word, thousands of breaks, only fast is not broken. At this point, Logan's short sword is finally no longer an ornament, and it finally has a place to use.
