Chapter 16: Water Moon Cave (2)
Su Ran had little to hear of the four major factions in the rivers and lakes, and asked, "Master, what grievances do we have between Xiaoxiang and Yanyutang?"
"I can't talk about grievances, it's just that the teacher is weak. Every three years, there will be a world martial arts, and the big and small sects in the rivers and lakes will go to let the most proud disciples of the sect compete with others, and eliminate them step by step, and finally only four factions remain, and they can get the name of the four major factions in the rivers and lakes. Zhong Mubai said.
He also said: "I have many female disciples in Xiaoxiang, although they are all born with good looks, but their martial arts cultivation is difficult to match. Three years ago, I asked Chunyin to fight, and I broke through all the way in front, but in the end, I lost to Yan Yutang's people, stopped in the quarterfinals, and gave up this title. ”
"Senior Sister Lin Chunyin?" Su Ran was stunned.
Zhong Mubai nodded: "Hey, it's also my fault that I'm not good at martial arts, so that all factions in the rivers and lakes say that no one wants to worship under Xiaoxiang." I never blamed her for the failure of Chunyin, but she seemed to have been hit by this, and when she came back, she said that she would go down the mountain and travel to the rivers and lakes. I don't know where she is now. ”
"I see. Su Ran understood the story and had a bit of fighting spirit, "Master, when is the next world martial arts?"
"Roughly calculated, it should be soon. This matter has always been organized by the Zhongzhou Tianwang Mansion, and it will be announced in detail at that time. Zhong Mu had something to say in the vernacular, and glanced at Su Ran.
Su Ran naturally smelled the deep meaning, and said firmly: "Master, since this is the case, I want to try it this year." ”
Zhong Mubai said in a deep voice: "Su Ran, when Chunyin was martial arts back then, the martial realm reached Ning Dan, and Xiaoxiang swordsmanship was practiced to the fourfold primary level, but he was still defeated by Yan Yutang. Now that three years have passed, not to mention how the martial arts of the disciples of Yanyutang have grown, you haven't even touched the door now. ”
Su Ran was reluctant to tell himself about his cultivation ascension, and said, "As long as Master is willing to teach me, I will definitely learn quickly." There is still time before Huiwu, I went to Zhongzhou to travel, and I will definitely grow when I come back. He thought to himself, it may be a good opportunity for the world to know martial arts, there are many good players, and heroes are all present, maybe his brother will also come.
"If you have such determination, how can I not teach you a reason? Zhong Mubai was very pleased. After three years of silence, hope was rekindled in his heart, maybe this kid could really help Xiaoxiang win back face!
The two of them went out of the courtyard and went along the back mountain. After a while, they reached the deepest part of the sect, which was a dead end, with only a high wall embedded in the mountain and an iron gate. The door was locked, Zhong Mubai took out the iron key and turned it open, pushed the door in, but saw weeds growing and there was no way.
Su Ranqi said, "Master, didn't you teach me swordsmanship?"
"You don't need me to teach you swordsmanship, you can go to the library and get it later. Zhong Mubai said, penetrating into the grass. Su Ran noticed that a little weed was bent over, as if someone had stepped on it, but it didn't look like it had been done recently. After thinking about it for a long time, I still followed.
After walking for another hour, at the end of which was a locked bronze door. On the door is an unknown flying bird, with three tail feathers like ribbons, plump and round, and the crown of the head is upside down, shaped like soft teeth. The bird spreads its wings, but its eyes are black, and beside it is the clouds and smoke. If you look closely, you can see that a piece of the eyeball is missing.
The double doors are embedded in the mountain, Zhong Mubai stepped forward and felt out a copper bead embedded in the bird's eyes, and in an instant the bird seemed to come to life, and the eyes grunted, only to hear the sound of the machine, and the double copper door opened in response.
The gate opened, and behind it was a faint white firefly, which came from the gap between the stone walls on both sides. When I looked closely, I saw a long road stretching, about three people wide, hidden in the bluestone of the mountain, and I don't know where it leads.
"This ......" Su Ran was stunned. He never knew that there was a secret passage in the backyard of the sect, and he was speechless for a while.
"The last one to come here was Lin Chunyin. Now, after three years, it has welcomed guests again. After you come out, don't mention it to any other fellow disciples. Zhong Mubai said, and walked in first.
Su Ran followed quickly, passed through the bright road, turned around and turned around, only to feel that the ramp was slightly steep, and he went down step by step. After walking a small half-pillar of incense, he suddenly became enlightened.
Su Ran's breath was stagnant, looking at the empty place around him, and he was amazed in his heart, it turned out that in the depths of Xiaoxiang, there was a different cave!
This is a huge mountain cave, even bigger than Yanwu Yuntai, more than three laps. The top of the cliff is full of upside-down stalactites, and the rock walls are scattered with white glow, I don't know what kind of strange stones they are. There was a ravine in the heights, and a satin-like waterfall poured down, flowing through the stone crevices and rock corners, and fell into the huge pool of water in front of them, but it was silent.
And the fine light between the rocks, Su Ran looked at it, and it was actually a sword blade embedded in the rocks, with different shapes.
"Xiaoxiang Secret Realm, Water Moon Cave Sky. Zhong Mubai said softly.
Su Ran was already fascinated by the scene in this cave, and couldn't help but take a step forward, looked at the nearest stainless steel sword at his feet, and was about to reach out to take it, Zhong Mubai frowned and stopped: "Don't take it." ”
Su Ran was stunned for a moment, and then he felt rude. He scratched his head and asked in a low voice, "Master, what are you bringing me here for?"
"Now that you're going to Zhongzhou, I think it's time to give you a weapon to take advantage of. Zhong Mubai said and walked to the waterhole, "The swords of the other disciples are all forged by blacksmiths, but I want to take you to give it a try." ”
"Try ...... What?"
"The blades you see in front of you are all swords used by the heads, chiefs, or wizards of Xiaoxiang in the past dynasties. Some of them have achieved fame and anonymity, and some of them have lost their lives and deaths, but no matter what, their swords will be sent here. Zhong Mubai said.
Su Ran nodded, and suddenly felt goosebumps on his body: "So it's like ...... Sword Shrine?"
"If the sword is not dead, how can it be called a grave? These weapons are not forged by ordinary blacksmiths, and there is a soul in the sword, which will last for several lifetimes, but it is only sleeping now. Zhong Mubai said, "Today, I'll take you to give it a try." ”
Su Ran was stunned for a long time, and suddenly shook his head: "Master, these swords look so old, they won't break." It's better to ask the blacksmith to get me a new one, and I'll use it well. These swords, let them continue to sleep. ”
Zhong Mubai only felt that he was disrespectful and disrespectful, and he was about to have a seizure, but he seemed to be afraid, glanced at the unfathomable waterhole, and then suppressed his anger and said in a low voice: "It's easy to say, you can try it, can you pull out these swords?"
Su Ran didn't know what he meant, and looked at the stainless steel sword at his feet, the tip of the sword was only a few inches embedded, and it should be pulled out with some force. He was also afraid that the sword would be broken, so he lightened it a little, held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and lifted his body without reacting.
He paused, increased his strength a little, and lifted it a few times, but the steel sword didn't move at all, and he didn't even shake it.
Su Ran was interested.
