In addition to the mysterious Goddess Peak, the most famous thing left in Wushan is the Sword Pond.

The sword pond was originally called the autumn pool, because Wushan is rainy, especially in autumn, there are many autumn rains in the mountains, and the autumn pond will rise a lot every time the autumn rain lasts.

In fact, to be precise, this autumn pool should not be called a pool, but should be called a lake, because the area occupied by this autumn pool is at least three or five miles wide. It's just that this autumn pond is not far from the foot of the Goddess Peak, the reason why the Goddess Peak is called the Goddess Peak, is because the shape of its peak looks like a graceful goddess, surrounded by the misty clouds and smoke in the mountains, and it is possible to return by the wind at any time.

And if the whole mountain peak is compared to a goddess, then the lake under the mountain is indeed like a pond, and the name of the autumn pond has existed throughout the ages, and later it is often called the sword pond, but it is because there are thousands of broken swords buried in the autumn pond.

The sword is naturally the sword of the swordsman, Wushan is the mountain of the swordsman, and the swordsman's cultivation will inevitably have a fight, and there will naturally be damage if there is a struggle, so those damaged or abandoned swords are thrown into this autumn pool. Over time, there were more and more swords in the autumn pool, and finally it formed a sword opening wonder, so it had the name of the sword pool.

The so-called sword opening meeting is because of the sword opening wonder in this sword pool. Wushan is a magical place, and even the remnant sword thrown into the water by someone can form a rare sight. Every winter, the sword pond will freeze, there is a rule in Wushan, when the sword pond freezes, it is called the lake closure period, and the lake closure period is also the sword sealing period, during this time Wushan prohibits any form of martial arts fighting. The reason is very simple, the pool is sealed, if there is a sword damaged, where to throw it?

No one will ask why the remnants of the sword have to be thrown into the sword pool, since it is a rule, then it must be obeyed, if you really have to fight, when the ice melts, it will not take two or three months to open the lake. And the scene of the opening of the sword pond will have a very special weather every four years.

Anyone who has seen it will be shocked by this kind of weather, because every four years on the day when the second dragon raises its head in the first month of February, those remnant swords that have been silent at the bottom of the lake for an unknown number of years will collectively erupt a sword qi, these sword qi will not be very strong, but when thousands of sword qi converge together, the scene is too terrifying.

Thousands of remnant swords erupted from the bottom of the lake with sword qi, destroying the thick ice on the surface of the lake with a devastating force, and flew to the top of the Goddess Peak together, and then circled for three days and three nights before falling back into the sword pool.

This is the sword qi opening autumn pool.

And this day is the four-year sword opening conference in Wushan.

When Gan Xin saw the frozen sword pool for the first time, he sensed the terrifying restless aura hidden under the seemingly calm ice.

"Legend has it that there are thousands of remnant swords hidden in the water of this lake, and they will all break through the ice today and fly to the Goddess Peak?"

Gan looked at the dense rivers and lakes around the sword pool, and couldn't hide a trace of excitement in his eyes.

Compared with Ganxin, Zhou Wei, who accompanied him, had seen the sword pool open the lake with his own eyes, and he nodded and said: "Well, today is the sword meeting, but the specific time when the sword qi will open the lake is not easy to say, it seems that it is not the same every time, and it can only be determined that it is today." ”

Willing not to like many people, I specially found a secluded place to come to the lake, looked up, and saw the goddess peak that was shrouded in clouds and mist, and couldn't help but sigh: "You say, is there really a goddess on this goddess peak?"

Zhou Wei didn't speak, but Zhang Ping said with a smile: "The legend of the goddess has existed since ancient times, but it is true or false, and few people on the rivers and lakes have seen it." And even if it is the quadrennial sword opening conference, the Goddess Peak doesn't care at all, and the people who are in charge of this Wushan are basically the four sword monarchs. Therefore, as for whether there is really a goddess on this goddess peak, no one can say clearly. However, I always feel that the legend of this goddess peak is more false than true, and I can't believe it. ”

He nodded willingly and said, "Yes, stay on that lonely mountain peak all your life, and anyone else will be bored with illness." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Wei interjected: "It's hard to say, if there is really nothing on the Goddess Peak, the thousands of remnant swords in this sword pool will never fly there for no reason." Moreover, although the four sword monarchs are in charge on Wushan, the appointment of these four sword monarchs is said to have been approved by the nod of the goddess peak. ”

Gan Xin asked curiously: "I have long heard that there are the names of the four great sword monarchs on Wushan, but what are the origins of these four sword monarchs? ”

Zhou Wei replied: "On Wushan, there have been the positions of the Four Sword Monarchs of Meilan and Zhuju since ancient times, but the origins of these four Sword Monarchs are all very mysterious. Because once you become one of the sword kings, almost all of them give up their names, and these people who are determined to go to Wushan to practice penance and sit on the sword are often lonely widows who abandon their earthly hearts, and it is difficult to find out the origin. ”

"I heard that every sword meeting is presided over by one of the sword monarchs, which one should it be the turn this time?"

"The Sword Monarch presided over the sword meeting, which was not in turn, but was chosen by the sword qi at the bottom of the lake. ”

Zhou Wei's words surprised Gan Xin, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Can this remnant sword still choose people?"

Zhou Wei shook his head and said, "I've seen it once, but in fact, it can't be said that the remnant sword chooses people." Rather, the sword house where these four sword monarchs lived, was located in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and northwest around the sword pool. And when the remnant sword at the bottom of the lake breaks through the lake, there will also be a difference between fast and slow, and whichever lake is broken first will be presided over by the sword monarch on that side. ”

This reason is not only willing, but even Zhang Ping heard about it for the first time, and the two of them were curious at the moment, and like the people around them, they guessed the direction of this sword qi breaking through the lake in their hearts. Moreover, there were already good deeds on the edge of the sword pond and made a bet, betting on which sword monarch would preside over this sword meeting, which caused a lot of excitement.

The Wushan Festival, once every four years, is almost always refused, so the sword pond at this moment has changed from the past to be clean, and it is lively like a temple fair in the city. As long as they are not here to find trouble, the swordsmen who cultivate swords in the mountains don't care, and over the years, no one has dared to make trouble in Wushan.

While Gan Xin was waiting to open the sword, she was also looking around, but now she didn't have the idea of finding a few right-hand men for the Gan family at all, but was thinking about when Wang Shen would appear.

As for Wang Shen, at this time, he and Wen Jiuhui were crawling hard in a cold and damp cave.

"Senior Wen, how far is it?"

Wang Shen, who was following behind his buttocks, couldn't help but ask, he and Wen Jiuhui had been walking in this narrow cave for almost two hours, and Wen Jiuhui took him east and west into this cave in the middle of the night last night. But this cave is too short and narrow, and the two of them can only bend down and move forward, not to mention that Wang Shen is dragging a large turtle shell weighing several hundred catties behind him, which is even more difficult.

Wen Jiu, who led the way in front, turned around and didn't reply: "Bear with me, it's here." ”

"Since you're going to Sword Pond, why don't you just take the mountain road there?"

"The mountain trail can only go to the lake, and here you can go to the bottom of the lake. ”

"Huh, what are we going to do at the bottom of the lake?"

"Open the lake. ”
