Chapter 5: The Secret Whisper of the Star
At the beginning of the dawn, the sky and the earth were hazy, and the black iron city covered by the wind and snow was silent in the dawn, appearing quiet and quiet.
On the passage into the city, the gates were closed, and it was dark and unlit.
Su Ye and Su Xueyi stood silently under the city, raised their heads and carefully measured the height of the city wall, their hearts were condensed, they bent their bodies to gather their strength, kicked their legs on the ground hard, stepped on the city wall continuously, and jumped over the city tower.
The walls of the Black Iron City were no more than two feet high, and they couldn't stop the two of them who were as light as swallows.
The two of them landed lightly, picked a remote road, and headed straight for the city.
Coming to a poor house in the north corner of the city, Su Ye knocked on the door and said a secret word, and a lame middle-aged man nervously welcomed the two into the house. He bolted the door, closed the window, and after seeing that everything was safe, he said excitedly: "Master Su, Miss Su, I didn't expect you to be alive, it's really good." ”
"Uncle Zhao, didn't the Zhu family embarrass you?" Su Ye looked around and asked in a deep voice.
"Although my life was saved by Gongzi, I have no relationship with the Su family, and I have long been crippled, Zhu Tiancheng estimated that he had forgotten me a long time ago, so naturally he would not embarrass me. ”
"Uncle Zhao, I want to place my sister in your few hours, no problem, right?"
"I'm safe here at the moment, so there should be no problem. The lame man replied firmly, "Don't worry, Master Su, my life was originally picked up by you from the snow wolf pack, and now even if I fight hard, I will protect Miss Su thoroughly." ”
"Xiaoye, where are you going?" Su Xueyi couldn't help but ask worriedly when she heard that he was leaving.
"Go to Tianyuan Pavilion to find help!" Su Ye held the long sword and smiled at her, "Sister, don't worry, I'll be fine, you stay here, I'll go back." ”
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Su Xueyi to reply, he pushed open the door alone and jumped out of the courtyard wall.
After leaving the Zhao family, Su Ye walked through the streets and alleys, picking up sparsely populated paths, and at the beginning of the day, he finally came to the Tianyuan Pavilion on the Central Street of the Black Iron City.
The door of the pavilion is open and brightly lit.
When he saw that someone was on duty, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and when he crossed the gate of Tianyuan Pavilion, he ran straight to the cabinet courtyard.
"Stop, the cabinet is the most important place in the cabinet, and outsiders have to trespass!"
As soon as Su Ye stepped into the cabinet courtyard, a cold voice stopped him.
He followed the voice, looked up, and saw a tall cloth-clothed man flashing out from the shadow of the courtyard, with a dignified momentum, implying murderous intent in front of him, a powerful aura emanating from him, and the internal force on the fist was condensed but not dispersed, and he was actually a master of the fifth order of the warrior.
"Excuse me, Your Excellency, Su Ye has something important to ask to see Shopkeeper Mo!" Su Ye clenched his fists respectfully and said in a deep voice.
"Su Ye......" The man in cloth raised his eyebrows, a little shocked, and asked urgently, "But half a month ago, the son of the Su family who was destroyed, Su Ye?"
"It's down there!" replied Su Ye without humility or arrogance.
"There is still an hour before the pavilion will be open, and then the son will come again, and the shopkeeper will be there at that time. ”
"I still hope that Your Excellency will report it, and say that Su will be able to unravel the secret words of the Tianyuan Three Styles, and I hope that Shopkeeper Mo will be able to meet each other without hesitation. Su Ye smiled and continued, "I think your pavilion has been struggling for a long time to unlock this Tianyuan Three Styles!"
"Can you interpret the Tianyuan Three Styles?" the cloth-clothed man's face changed greatly.
The Tian Yuan Three Styles are the three secret words left by a supreme powerhouse countless years ago, and the legend has it that there is a huge secret hidden in the secret words.
Ten years ago, the Tianyuan Pavilion accidentally obtained these three secret words, and originally thought that they could enjoy the secret treasures hidden in them exclusively, but found that no matter how they cracked it, they could not understand the meaning of the Tianyuan Three Styles, and in desperation, the General Pavilion had to make the decision to make the first two secret words of the Tianyuan Three Styles public, and search for people who can understand them all over the world.
The two secret words were distributed to the branches of Tianyuan Pavilion in various places, and were rubbed by the shopkeeper, made public, and set up a heavy reward.
However, for several years, no one could figure it out.
Although the man in cloth didn't believe that Su Ye would be able to solve the Tianyuan Three Forms, he didn't dare not report such a major event.
He trotted all the way into the cabinet, and after a while, a kind old man with gray hair came out and invited Su Ye into the hall with excitement on his face.
"Can Young Master Su solve the Tianyuan Three Forms?" the kind old man asked urgently.
Su Ye nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The first secret language can be solved, the second one can be solved after some time, and it is estimated that it can be solved, as for the third secret language, I haven't seen it, so I'm not sure!"
"Can you solve it, bragging, right? Tian Yuan two style distributed all over the world, over the years, how many capable people with lofty ideals have challenged, but there has been one person who has successfully solved one?"
"Although this kid's strength is not bad, he is too young and probably doesn't have much knowledge, how can he solve it?"
"Back then, there were masters in the pavilion who said that this Tianyuan Three Styles was the secret language of the Star Trace, and only the descendants of the legendary Star Trace Sect could read it, but the Star Trace Sect had long been annihilated for I don't know how many years, how could there be any heirs?"
"Seeing that his hair hasn't grown together, how can he understand any star mark secret language, I think it's just a blind shopkeeper!"
"Also, if this kid knows how to solve it, won't the people of the entire Great Chu Empire become fools?"
"Hey, the shopkeeper too, you can't go to the doctor when you're in a hurry, this kid knows what he has in mind from the moment he steps on the door and enters. ”
"He doesn't want to take the opportunity of unlocking the secret language to find an opportunity to ask for help from our Tianyuan Pavilion and ask the shopkeeper to help him avenge the destruction of the door, right?"
Seeing Su Ye speaking so loudly, the busy guys and several guards around him were a little cynical and discussed.
When Shopkeeper Mo heard everyone's discussion, his originally excited expression quickly lowered, and he asked suspiciously, "Can Master Su tell me in detail?"
"Does Shopkeeper Mo have a pen and paper?" Su Ye's face was calm, ignoring the cynicism around him.
The shopkeeper slapped his hands, and a subordinate next to him offered a pen and paper in a playful manner.
He made a gesture of invitation to Su Ye, and a pair of eyes stared intently at the white paper, looking nervous.
Although Shopkeeper Mo didn't know what kind of secrets the three secret words hid, he knew that these three secret words were closely related to his life and fate.
As early as three years ago, the general cabinet issued a reward order, as long as the sub-cabinet, who can find the person who decoded the secret words, the cabinet manager can be rewarded with 100,000 gold, into the core of the Tianyuan Pavilion, and in the sub-cabinet, the rest of the people can be rewarded with 10,000 gold, and the position is promoted to one level.
Money is not very important to Shopkeeper Mo, but entering the core of Tianyuan Pavilion is a dream for him.
Tianyuan Pavilion has a mysterious background and deep roots, even if he is the head of the sub-pavilion, what he hears and sees is only the tip of the iceberg.
If he was able to enter the core of Tianyuan Pavilion, he would have the opportunity to practice more advanced exercises, break through the shackles of the current martial arts, and enter a more powerful martial arts realm, thereby increasing his longevity.
Therefore, although Shopkeeper Mo had huge doubts about Su Ye's unlocking of the Tianyuan Three Styles, he still held on to a glimmer of hope.
"Tian Yuan's first formula said 'the head of the red flame, the heart of the deep sea', but it was actually talking about a secret word of the stars. Su Ye explained while writing, "Red flame means fire, the stars are four elephants, only the south belongs to fire, and among the southern heavens and stars, the first place is the well, so the first sentence 'the head of the red flame' is the well of the stars." ”
"A few years ago, when I was looking through an old astrological book at Su's house, I found that Jingsu, as the number one star in the south, was not the eight stars as everyone knows, but nine stars! ”
Su Ye continued: "So I think the first form of Tian Yuan is talking about the star field where the ninth star of Jing Su is located, as for the actual location of the star field, I think there are many people in the Tian Yuan Pavilion, it should be easy to find out!"
Shopkeeper Mo watched him explain in detail, and his heart was extremely shocked.
He had an intuition that what Su Ye said was the true meaning of Tian Yuan's first secret language.
Huge joy surged out of the heart of the shopkeeper Mo, and he couldn't wait to immediately send the answer to the secret words that Su Ye said, and the flying pigeon sent a book to the Lingdu General Pavilion for verification.
"The son is talented, and the old man admires. Shopkeeper Mo clasped his fists at Su Ye and praised, "If the old man's guess is correct, this should be the correct solution of the secret language." ”
The people who were sneering before heard the praise of Shopkeeper Mo, and the whole person was stunned.
"Master Su, I don't know the second secret word, how long will it take you to solve it?" asked Shopkeeper Mo politely.
Su Ye was able to solve the first secret word, which had already convinced Shopkeeper Mo of his ability, so his attitude changed and he became very polite and polite.
"Give me a year, how about it?" replied Su Ye with a deep groan.
Shopkeeper Mo frowned secretly, but he still replied without hesitation: "Yes, no matter how long it takes, my entire Tianyuan Pavilion will wait for the good news of the son." ”
Su Ye glanced at Shopkeeper Mo gratefully, was silent for a moment, and said concentratingly: "The purpose of my here, in addition to answering the first secret word, must be clear to Mo Lao, I don't know if you can give me an answer now." ”
"Tianyuan Pavilion is independent of all forces and never participates in local disputes, I'm afraid it will disappoint Su Gongzi. ”
"So, then when I didn't say anything!" Su Ye stood up with a cold snort.
He clenched his long sword, disappointed, and was about to say goodbye, but he didn't expect the shopkeeper Mo to grab him and press him to the chair again.
"Su Gongzi is not in a hurry, the old man still has half a sentence to finish. Shopkeeper Mo looked at Su Ye with a smile, "Although my Tianyuan Pavilion has never been involved in local disputes, since the moment Su Gongzi unraveled the secret words, you have been the most honored guest of my Tianyuan Pavilion, and for the safety of the lives of distinguished guests, my Tianyuan Pavilion has the responsibility to protect them with all my might." ”
A cold glint appeared in his eyes, and he said with fierce murderous intent: "No matter who it is, as long as it threatens the life of the child, in this Black Iron City, the old man can help you erase it!"
"Thank you, Mr. Mo. Su Ye thanked in surprise.
With the promise of Shopkeeper Mo, his trip to Tianyuan Pavilion would not be considered a failure.
"By the way, there is one more thing that needs to be troubled. Su Ye held the sword in his chest, and drew his sword with a loud sound, and the snowy sword light suddenly appeared in the void.
