Chapter 196: Sword Shrine (2)
"It should have been left by the monk who entered this place." Gu Baiying stared at the cave walls on all sides.
"Monk?" Mendong turned his head and looked: "Where is the shadow of a monk here?" ”
Gu Baiying turned the embroidery bone spear and pointed to the cave wall in front of him: "Here." ”
The lighting charm on the embroidered bone gun reflected the cave wall, so everyone clearly saw that the four walls of the cave left many afterimages, swords and spear tips, all of which were traces left by spiritual weapons on the stone wall, as if not long ago, there was a fierce melee here.
It's dense and chilling.
I didn't pay attention to it before, but now under the reflection of the illuminator, everything is hidden. Those traces were disorderly, as if they were casually waved in a hurry, and just by looking at them, you could see that the situation was dangerous and terrifying.
Mendong involuntarily shrank for a moment: "Here...... What exactly was before? ”
What the hell, no one knows.
Xiao Yuanzhu in the heart of the hairpin suddenly jumped, and his body took a few steps forward uncontrollably, Gu Baiying shouted: "Be careful! Grabbing her arm to stop her from moving forward, Hairpin pointed ahead: "Look." ”
Among the spiritual artifacts scattered all over the ground, at the forefront, a small hill suddenly appeared.
This hill was paved with piles of spiritual weapons, to be precise, it was a sword mountain, those broken or brand new swords were densely piled together, shining with cold and cold sword light under the dim light.
"Sword Shrine." Gu Baiying's brows furrowed.
In the Duzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm, there are indeed several large sword mounds, but I have never heard of such a sword mound underground.
"Could it be that the spiritual weapons we saw all the way down just now were all because of the summoning of the Sword Shrine?"
If you lose your master's spiritual weapon, you will automatically choose a sleeping place, which is the Sword Shrine. But what do the scratches in this cave mean?
Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard a rustling sound, Gu Baiying shouted, "Who?" ”
From the shadow under the sword mound, a sword fell diagonally, and it was the sword that made a noise. Mu Jiexiao walked over, and his eyes suddenly froze: "Someone!" ”
How could there be anyone in such a dark and blind place?
Everyone stepped forward cautiously, and saw that in the shadow next to the sword mound, there was indeed a person sitting.
However, this person seems to have been dead for a long time.
It was a white skeleton, I don't know how long it had been sleeping here, wearing a monk's garment, presumably because it was made of special material, and the garment had not rotted. He sat with his head hanging down against the cave wall, looking serene.
"This is a disciple of another sect?" Mu Jiexiao was puzzled.
Gu Baiying was silent for a moment, and stepped forward to touch the white bone's clothes.
Mendong was scared, holding Mimi and hiding behind the hairpin star and not daring to come out, the hairpin star stood against Tian Fangfang, looking at the dry white bones, and his heart was also uneasy.
Gu Baiying groped around on this white bone, trying to find evidence that could prove the identity of this person, but after touching for a long time, there were no other tokens, but he found a scroll.
"This is ......" Meng Ying's eyes froze: "This person left?" ”
"Let's see." Gu Baiying opened the book.
The hairpin cautiously stepped forward to take a look.
"My name is Zheng Qing, I am a disciple of the Huanyang faction in Duzhou, I am eighteen years old this year, I accidentally got a treasure map, and I came here with my senior brothers to find the divine sword......" As soon as I opened it, it was like this.
Excalibur? Hairpin Star was stunned, the snake witch gave her a treasure map, didn't it mean that there was a holy tree in the treasure land, why did it become a divine sword now?
"Huanyang faction?" Meng Ying pondered for a moment: "This name sounds a little familiar. ”
There are many sects in the Duzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm, and Meng Ying spends most of her time cultivating in the Imperial Sword, so it is normal that she can't remember clearly.
Gu Baiying continued to look through the book.
"There used to be a country here, called the Yuezhi country, I heard that the Yuezhi country is prosperous for smelting weapons, there is a swordsmith named Chaisang, he cast a sword, called 'worry-free'."
"The Sanssouci Sword is forged with the life's work of the swordsmith, and the divine power is endless, and the sword spirit has been born. Legend has it that this sword can be called the best spiritual weapon, Chai Sang dedicated this sword to the lord of the Yuezhi country, and then the lord of the Yuezhi country passed away, and this sword was buried in the imperial tomb of the Yuezhi country as a funeral item. ”
“...... We decided to go and retrieve the Sanssouci Sword. ”
Seeing this, Gu Baiying frowned.
"This disciple of the Huanyang faction is really bold, although it is said that the monk does not need to be afraid of ordinary people, but he is also the king of a country, he just went to dig up other people's graves, it is too immoral!" Mendong was indignant.
"Senior brother is pedantic," Tian Fangfang disagreed: "It's a pity that a superb spiritual weapon is buried so deep in the ground, it's better to see the light of day again and benefit the people, isn't it good to kill a few more demons." ”
Hairpin Star: "......" was really shot while lying down.
The book continued: "Master asked the senior brothers with the highest cultivation in the sect to set off together and came to the treasure land. Because we had to go down to the ground, we left the youngest junior on the ground to respond. I went into the cave under the giant tree with my brothers. ”
"The cave is very deep and long, and we have been walking for a long time."
“...... We found the sword. ”
The brief note came to an abrupt end here, and Mu Jiexiao asked, "And then?" ”
Gu Baiying flipped back a few pages, all blank, this disciple named Zheng Qing seemed to have finished writing here, and did not continue to write.
"According to Zheng Qing, they found the Sanssouci Sword," Hairpin Xing thought for a while, "But where is the sword now?" Where have his other brothers gone? And himself, why didn't he go out and die here? ”
The dead would not answer, Zheng Qing sat quietly with his head bowed in place, silent.
"Could it be that his other senior brothers have already gotten that sword and gone out?" Tian Fangfang boldly guessed: "But this fellow practitioner has a disagreement with his senior brothers, so those people left him here and deliberately didn't let him out?" ”
"Impossible." Gu Baiying denied: "There is an exit from the cave, he can go out by himself, and he ......" He paused: "He committed suicide and died." ”
Commit suicide?
Gu Baiying opened the white bone's clothes, and saw that the chest of the white bone was indeed left with a hole after the piercing of the long sword. This should have been his fatal wound.
"But it's so decent, why did he kill himself?" Mendong was puzzled: "And he committed suicide, why didn't his senior brothers take his body away?" Leave him alone. ”
Tian Fangfang said: "I said earlier, there is a discord between their brothers and sisters, and the relationship must be not good, and there is infighting!" ”
The hairpin looked at the white bones sitting withered, and there was something strange in his heart.
A young monk, who came to the treasure place to look for the Excalibur, was full of anticipation and excitement between the lines, how could he commit suicide on a whim?
