Volume 5 Trial of the Sword God Chapter 263 The Secret of the Starry Sky
Looking at the two treasure maps on the table, Ye Xiao fell into contemplation again, the clues of this divine stone are too simple, or is the treasure map not the key, but the process of obtaining the divine stone is the difficulty. After all, forty-eight divine stones do not necessarily correspond to forty-eight pairs of treasure maps, but many pairs, so in the process of finding divine stones, you will definitely face competitors.
"How's it going?, do you have any clues?" asked Ji Wuxi curiously.
Ye Xiao shook his head, "The situation is getting more and more complicated, and the information I have obtained so far is completely insufficient. I'm afraid this sword god trial is not simple, you and I must be careful. Ye Xiao reminded.
Ji Wuxian nodded and said: "This treasure map will be left here for you first, I hope it will be useful to you, I don't care about the divine stone or anything, but the strong enemy here did not disappoint me, by the way, the Colosseum in the Heavenly God Fort is a bit interesting, if you have time, you can go and see it, and there are mixed fish and dragons There may be some news." ”
After Ji Wuxian learned about the current situation of the Qilin clan from Ye Xiao again, he turned around and left, Ye Xiao looked at his back and sighed with some emotion, it was really a matter of being impressed for three days, Ji Wuxi's momentum at the moment is not what it used to be, it is a kind of belief that the world is unwilling to be left behind.
"His realm is also the Four Elephants Realm, I don't know how it compares to me, this kid doesn't know what adventures he had, but in general it's a good thing, after all, he is a member of the Qilin clan. I had thought that when he returned from the trial, I would find a time to hand over the position of the patriarch of the Qilin Clan to him, but now it seems that he should not be too interested in this position, and it is impossible for him to manage those trivial matters that are a headache for me. Ye Xiao retracted his thoughts, lay on the bed again, and observed the starry sky above his head through the skylight.
"What are the secrets of these stars?Jiang Lou Mingyue and Luo Qingcheng both have extremely terrifying kendo talents, and they can penetrate the swordsmanship hidden in the stars at a glance, but unfortunately I don't know much about swords. By the way, how did I forget it, even if I don't have such a terrifying talent, I still have a chance to understand the secret!" Ye Xiao bounced up from the bed, the Eye of the Spirit Spring opened, and the stars above his head became clearer in his eyes, and he used the Eye of the Spirit Spring and his memory to reflect the distribution of the stars in the entire starry sky into his mind. Thanks to the expansion of Ye Xiao's brain power when the Eye of Lingquan first awakened, he was able to have such a memory.
"The distribution of the stars has been memorized by me, if these things are really a sword technique, then the "Star Evolution Ten Thousand Worlds" should also be able to deduce it, let me see your true face!" In my mind, the "Star Evolution Ten Thousand Worlds" exercise is running rapidly, deducing the star map, but this closed eye is a day and a night.
There are countless stars distributed in the bright starry sky, a star is like an acupuncture point, and the stars form a diagram of the operation of the acupuncture points, these diagrams are connected to a set of swordsmanship, but the distribution of the stars is chaotic, and there are very few people who can see it, Ye Xiao will only notice the secrets in the starry sky when reminded by others, such as dividing the constellations to divide the night sky into a personal shadow, in addition to the stars that constitute the swordsmanship, there are still some stars left, and these stars are connected to the Three Realms text 'Gift to Xi'er and Shu'er'.
"I see. Ye Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a wry smile, he spent a day and a night using the "Star Derivation Ten Thousand Worlds" to deduce something, Jiang Lou Mingyue and Luo Qingcheng could see through it in an instant, and they deserved to be the kendo masters on the Tianjiao list. "The two of them are the best candidates for the Sword God Inheritance. "But Ye Xiao didn't give up accurately, he didn't have a strong backstage like other Tianjiao, so he wouldn't give up easily when the sword god inherited this excellent opportunity for the carp to leap into the dragon gate.
"Since this set of swordsmanship is taken from the stars in the Heavenly God Castle, it is called "Tianxing Swordsmanship", I don't know what the swordsmanship left by the predecessor of the Sword God is mysterious. Ye Xiao didn't have the kung fu to comprehend this sword technique at the moment, he had other important things to do.
After going out, he directly showed the Celestial Order to one of the guards, and there was a Celestial Decree given to them by the Lord of the Celestial Castle, and it was indeed much more convenient for them to act in the Celestial Fort. "Is there a place in the Celestial Fort where ancient books are stored?"
"Does Childe want the exercises of the Heavenly World? Then you have to go to the Xuanzang Tower, which is the largest place to sell the exercises in the Heavenly God Castle. The guard explained kindly.
Ye Xiao shook his head, "What I want is not exercises, but classics that record the history of the Heavenly Domain, myths and legends, where can these classics be found?"
"Oh, you're talking about the library, but Childe is late. A few months ago, a strange fire broke out in the library building, which burned the entire library one by one. The guard shook his head and sighed, as if he was also feeling sorry for what had happened to the library.
"Aren't there any books here that are protected?Can a mere fire destroy such an important place?" Ye Xiao frowned when he heard this, this is a mysterious heavenly world, how can there be an important place that can be destroyed by a fire.
"Childe doesn't know, it's two masters of the Xi clan, it is said that they fought in the library because of some treasure map, one of the masters is good at divine fire swordsmanship, that is not an ordinary mortal fire, even those books that have been protected will not escape the fate of burning. The lord of the castle was furious and immediately executed the two men. By the way, Childe, you are not allowed to fight at will in the Celestial Castle, if you need to solve the conflict, you need to go outside the Celestial Castle, or the Colosseum in the Celestial Castle. "This guard knows everything about Ye Xiao, and he has nothing to say.
"Is this man-made disaster really a coincidence?" Ye Xiao was a little unconvinced, and asked again: "Is there any other place where you can browse ancient books besides the library building?"
"Yes, there is, but it is not as comprehensive as the library building, after all, the interest in selling ancient books is not very high. Good animal skins are generally used to make exercises. "There is no paper in the Heavenly World, but all kinds of animal skins used, after all, the number of giant beasts is enough, and there is no paper at all.
The guards pointed out a few bookstores to Ye Xiao, and Ye Xiao hurried to the destination non-stop, as for what the others were doing at the moment, Ye Xiao didn't care.
When I came to a bookstore called Liufangtang, most of the bookstore sold some low-level exercises, and some ancient books were sold.
"Boss, are there any books about Xi God and Shu God here?" Ye Xiao asked directly.
The owner of Liufangtang, a middle-aged fat man with a small beard, squinted his eyes and replied, "Of course, there is, you wait for ......" and then he walked out with a few rolls of animal skins.
"The Legend of Xi Shen", "Praise Xi Shu", "All 500 Excellent Sacrificial Texts Written to the Ancestors"? What is this, what do I want is not the literary works created by future generations based on them, but the real historical materials related to Xi Shu, do you understand the historical materials?" Ye Xiao flipped through the books brought by the mustachioed boss, but his head was big.
"Young man, Xi and Shu were tens of thousands of years ago, and at that time, Tianyu may not even have popularized writing, how can there be any historical materials and such things, by the way, if it is a legend and a ballad, I also have it here. The mustache boss explained.
"No need. Ye Xiao left disappointed, and he already knew the legends and songs. Ye Xiao then went to several so-called bookstores, but all of them returned in vain.
In front of the library building, Ye Xiao stopped, and the originally magnificent huge wooden building was now in ruins. Many people are busy in the rubble, ready to clean up the area and build a new building.
"It's really burned all the time, it's a pity, it's a pity. Ye Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
"It's a pity. An old man with white hair and white beard and a thin body appeared beside Ye Xiao, looking at the ruins in front of him full of loss.
"Young man, you also like to read? The old man sighed.
Ye Xiao nodded, "Old man, did you come here often before?"
The old man nodded, "That's right, I've basically stayed here for most of my life, because I'm the caretaker of the library, but unfortunately I couldn't prevent the destruction of the library." ”
"I see, disrespectful and disrespectful, have you read all the books in the old man's library?" Ye Xiao seemed to grasp a new hope.
"That's natural, I don't have any other hobbies in my life, I just like to read, and I have read most of the books in the library. The old man said proudly.
"Hmph, old man, if you put some effort into swordsmanship, you won't even be able to keep the library. A passer-by next to him seemed to know the identity of the old man and what happened, and mocked the old man.
"What do you know, swordsmanship is just a small way, it's really boring, and studying swords is not as interesting as studying people. The old man retorted.
"As a person of the Xi clan, you actually underestimate the way of swordsmanship, it is really arrogant, and you deserve this calamity. The man flicked his sleeves and walked away with a displeased face.
The old man shook his head with a bitter expression, "There is really a limit to the way of the sword, even if the most brilliant sword technique can judge all evils, it can never judge the seeds of evil." ”
The old man's words made Ye Xiao stunned, this old man who was not good-looking seemed to have a story. "Old man, you've seen all the books in the library, and I have some questions for you. ”
The old man said generously, "Just ask, when I die, some things will disappear forever." ”
"Do you know the Sword God?" Ye Xiao asked directly.
"Of course, I know that according to ancient books, the sword god is the master of Xi and Shu, and legend has it that the Heavenly God Castle was built by the sword god. However, the sword god rarely leaves a mark in this world, and his sense of existence is extremely weak. The old man's words once again confirmed Jiang Lou Mingyue's conjecture, the reason why Xi and Shu had an accident should be that the sword god had fallen at that time, and the sword spirit was absolutely incapable of solving the nightmare.
"Does the old man know what the nightmare is, is it really about to break the seal?" Ye Xiao asked again.
"The Nightmare is the same thing from the outside world as the legend says, and it is very powerful. As for whether it can break through the seal, I don't know, but since you outsiders have been brought in, there must be some kind of accident that has happened. The old man also had some doubts in his eyes.
"What is Xi and Shu's strength?" Ye Xiao continued to ask.
"As we all know, Xi is good at swordsmanship and Shu is good at magic, legend has it that Xi can incarnate thousands, each doppelganger can perform a kind of swordsmanship, and its strongest mastery "Dao Exhaust Sword in the World" can be described as unparalleled in the world; The old man replied.
Ye Xiao smiled, this trip was really not in vain, this old man is really a treasure-like character, and even Xi and Shu's tricks are known.
"Does the old man know what's going on with the swordsmanship of the starry sky?" Ye Xiao threw out the last question.
The old man's face changed when he heard this, "You have insight into the swordsmanship in the starry sky, come with me." The old man led Ye Xiao back to his home.
