Chapter 13: Blue Blade
Although Meng Fan was able to kill the Bodhisattva snake, he had no experience in taking snake gall. Fortunately, the snake catcher veteran was very good at this, and under his guidance, Meng Fan easily took out a dark purple snake gall the size of a ping-pong ball.
Putting the snake gall into the small porcelain bottle that had been prepared a long time ago, Meng Fan waved his hand and withdrew from this strange mountain forest with Li Dayan and the others.
After such a delay, the sun has already set in the west, and if he goes back at this time, he will probably be able to rush back to Lijia Village before dark, but Meng Fan will obviously not be satisfied with a mere snake gall.
Before entering the mountain, Meng Fan had greeted Li Dayan and might stay in the mountain for a while, and Li Dayan and the others had no opinion on this.
For them, it is common for them to stay in the mountains and forests at night, and sometimes they will even live in the mountains and forests for ten days and half a month in order to chase some valuable prey.
"Meng Shaoxia, it's not early, I haven't eaten lunch, I'm hungry for a long time, it's better to fill my stomach first, and then discuss the matter of catching snakes. Li Dayan caught up with Meng Fan in a few steps and asked discussantly.
When Meng Fan heard this, he groaned slightly, and then nodded and said: "It's okay, anyway, we are going to live here for a while, and we are not in a hurry at this time, so let's not go to catch snakes in the afternoon, and then build a temporary residence first." ”
"Hehe, Meng Shaoxia doesn't know, I and other hunters have their own temporary residences in the mountains, and coincidentally, my Lao Li knows that there is a spacious cave nearby, which is enough for the eight of us to live. Li smiled and replied with a smug face.
His voice fell, and a short man behind him took over the topic and said, "Lao Li, are you talking about the valley mouth cave in the northwest?"
"Oh, it's that cave, I didn't expect you to know that place, Old Six!" Li Dayan nodded, looking a little surprised.
The short man smiled and didn't speak again, although he was not as famous as Li Dayan and had caught a big worm, but he thought that his skills and knowledge were not inferior to the other party.
Meng Fan smiled indifferently and ignored the secret contest between the two, "In that case, let's go to that cave, this saves a lot of effort." ”
Meng Fan made a decision, and the rest of the people did not object, everyone immediately set off, walked towards the northwest, and after touching a stick of incense, the eight people came to a valley mouth.
"Meng Shaoxia, this is it, after the valley mouth, you can see the cave. After that, Li Dayan went into the valley mouth first and walked towards the valley.
When they saw this, they also quickly followed. Sure enough, as Li Dayan said, five or six zhang away from the mouth of the valley, a two-zhang high cave was clearly visible.
Seeing this scene, Meng Fan was shocked, "This is ......" Before he finished speaking, his figure flashed and he went into the stone cave first.
Li Dayan really didn't talk nonsense, this stone cave not only has a large entrance, but also an extremely spacious area, even if there are ten more people, it is not crowded.
After Meng Fan entered the cave, he swept around and found a pile of rubble on the left side of the stone room, and a few lines of small characters were engraved on the stone wall next to the gravel pile.
Because of the passage of time, the stone wall has fallen off a little, and the handwriting is also a little blurry, and you have to work hard to make out the handwriting.
"For more than 30 years, I have killed all the enemies...... Carving as a friend...... I can't get an opponent in my life, and I'm embarrassed."
Seeing this, Meng Fan couldn't help but show a hint of ecstasy on his face, "Sure enough, it's here!" He was originally going to spend some time looking for Sword Demon Valley, but he didn't expect it...... It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
At this moment, Li Dayan and the others also entered the cave, and when they saw Meng Fan standing in front of the pile of rubble that was suspected to be a grave with a smile on his face, they were all a little confused.
At the same moment, Meng Fan also spotted Li Dayan and the others, he immediately put away his smile and ordered: "Okay, in the future, let's live here." ”
After that, he didn't wait for Li Dayan and the others to respond, and continued: "You guys prepare lunch first, and I'll take a look around." Before the words were spoken, the man had already come out of the cave.
......
The terrain of this Sword Demon Valley is flat, and it can be seen clearly at a glance, Meng Fan walked along the cliff wall of the valley, and after a while, he came to the back of the stone cave.
The trees here are lush, not far away is a screen-like cliff, Meng Fan raised his eyes to gaze, only to see that there is a boulder three or four zhang square at the top of the cliff, looking at it from a distance, like a platform, you can vaguely see the word "sword mound" engraved on the surface.
Seeing this, Meng Fan was slightly excited, his figure flashed, he took a few steps to the cliff, raised his eyes, and soon found the small caves that were used as ladders.
At that moment, Meng Fan picked up the golden goose gong, and cleaned up the accumulations in the cave one by one step by step, and after making tea, he finally climbed to the top of the cliff.
The area of the cliff top platform was not large, and although hundreds of years had passed, Meng Fan still easily found the stone slab that concealed the hidden sword.
Removing the stone slab, a long sword came into view, and the stone platform where the sword was placed was already covered with dust, and even the long sword was buried in most of it.
Next to the long sword was a stone bar, Meng Fan knew that it was a substitute for the Ziwei soft sword, the third Xuantie heavy sword was not mentioned, and the fourth wooden sword had long since decayed without a trace.
Seeing this, Meng Fan used his internal strength, stretched out his hand, and blew away all the dust on the stone platform, and the inscriptions on it were revealed.
Because there is a stone slab covering here, the four lines of inscription are still faintly visible, Meng Fan read it from beginning to end, and his heart was slightly touched. If it weren't for the fact that his swordsmanship had already become small, he might have practiced the heavy sword method like Yang Guo.
After a little silence, Meng Fan picked up the first long sword, this sword is about four feet long, the sword body and hilt are all one, the blade is shining, and I don't know what material it is forged, after so many years, it is still as bright as new.
Meng Fan flicked his finger on the sword, and the long sword suddenly emitted a low buzzing sound, seeing this scene, Meng Fan's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, "Look at your green light and sharp edge, you will be called 'Qingfeng' in the future!"
Casually deciding on the name of the long sword, Meng Fan grasped it for a moment, and then included Qing Feng in the space in the ding. This sword does not have a scabbard yet, and in the future, I will have to find a skilled blacksmith and customize one.
After getting the only treasure in the Sword Demon Valley, Meng Fan left the top of the cliff satisfied. When he returned to the stone cave, Li Dayan and the others were already ready to eat.
Lunch was plentiful, and in addition to the flatbread they had brought, there were three roast chickens, which they had caught on the way here.
These men ate a lot of food, Meng Fan didn't touch their food, and after explaining the task of catching snakes, he walked out of the cave and returned to the sword mound on the top of the cliff.
