Chapter 698: Thunderbolt
Ice and Fire Island is located in the North Pole, and with a general location, Song Xing went out to sea by boat.
The current has been heading north, carrying the boats north day and night.
At night, the North Star always twinkles before the bow of the ship, and the sun always rises on the starboard side and sets on the port side, for more than ten consecutive days, the wind direction and water flow remain the same, and the boat movement is always the same.
At the beginning, Xie Xun and the three of them didn't know why, they drifted so far along the ocean current, no wonder they couldn't return to the Central Plains for ten years.
This time I went to Ice and Fire Island to find Xie Xun, in addition to Song Xing himself, there were also Zhang Cuishan and Zhang Wuji.
Xie Xun's life was miserable and desolate, and he rarely trusted people, if Song Xing went alone, it was estimated that he would rather die than hand over the dragon slaying knife.
The trip was very smooth, the ship did not encounter twists and turns along the way, and after a period of sailing, it came to the island of ice and fire smoothly.
The western part of the island is full of rocky peaks, strange shapes, inexplicable.
To the east of the island is an endless plain, where volcanic ash is poured into the sea and piled up year by year.
Although the place is close to the North Pole, but because the volcano is immortal for 10,000 years, the climate on the island is similar to that of Changbai Mountain, the high mountains and steep peaks are ice and snow, the plains and wilderness are extremely green, the pines and cypresses, tall and abnormal, and there are all kinds of strange flowers and trees, all of which are not found in the Middle Earth.
A herd of sika deer on the plains was grazing with their heads down, looking around, except for the volcano, which was a little terrifying, the surrounding was calm and there was nothing to be afraid of.
The four of them went to the island, and along the way, in addition to the low hills and high trees, there were green grasses and strange flowers.
In the grass, occasionally startled some unnamed big birds and small beasts, all of which seemed to be harmless to people.
The fiery red lava in the distance flowed westward, and as far as the eye could see, it was a familiar scene for Zhang Cuishan and the three of them.
After walking a short distance, they saw a huge cave, and there were a large number of artificially chiseled marks around it, which was the cave where they had lived in seclusion.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, a burly man walked out of the cave, it was Xie Xun, who was blind.
"Big brother!"
"Father-in-law!"
Hearing Zhang Cuishan's voice, Xie Xun was taken aback: "Fifth brother, fifth sister, Wuji, why did you come back?" ”
Zhang Cuishan rushed forward and helped Xie Xun.
"Is it because the wind has changed?" Xie Xun asked repeatedly.
Zhang Cuishan said: "No, we went back to the Central Plains, and this time we came back to find the eldest brother because of other things." ”
Xie Xun listened attentively, only then did he realize that there was still a fifth person present breathing, and he was immediately shocked: "Fifth brother, who else is here with you?" ”
Song Xing had fought with Xie Xun before, and he was not a stranger, and when he stepped forward to speak, Xie Xun also remembered Song Xing, who was born in Kongtong on Panshan Island that day.
After ten years of intersection, Xie Xun has long been familiar with Zhang Cuishan's personality, and knows that if he encounters a major event, he will never reveal his whereabouts at will.
"Let's sit down first."
A few people sat down, Zhang Cuishan hesitated, and told the many deeds that happened after he returned to Middle-earth, and Song Xing added from time to time beside him.
Only then did Xie Xun know that in the ten years since he left Middle Earth, the Central Plains martial arts had undergone such earth-shattering changes.
"So you're here for the Dragon Slayer Knife this time." Xie Xun understood.
Ten years on Ice and Fire Island, Xie Xun has long been dead set on the Dragon Slaying Knife.
After ten years of research, he found that this knife had no abnormalities except for being sharp and strong, and he had long since died of revenge and was ready to die on the island.
"Brother Xie has been exploring the secret of the Dragon Slayer Knife for ten years, but he is actually looking in the wrong direction."
Song Xing looked at the dragon slaying knife in Xie Xun's hand, this knife was lying quietly in Xie Xun's hand at the moment, as if it was the same as what he saw on Wangpanshan Island ten years ago, and there was no trace of any strange things at all.
"Brother Song doesn't know the secret of this dragon slaying knife?" Xie Xun raised his head and looked in the direction of Song Xing.
He didn't hesitate to offend Yin Tianzheng and snatch the dragon slaying knife, but now he found that he had nothing to gain except for wasting ten years.
"Just because if you want to crack the secret of the Dragon Slaying Knife, you also need to obtain the Heavenly Sword. A sword and a sword are the ones who can solve the mystery of the sword. ”
Zhang Cuishan was surprised: "Yitian Sword, could it be the sword that the master took from the Emei faction?" ”
Song Xing nodded: "That's right." At that time, Xiangyang City was in danger, Guo Jing and Huang Rong and his wife knew that Xiangyang City could not be defended, and they were determined to repay the country with death, knowing that they could not do it, but Guo Jing's stunt would be a pity if it was lost, and even if the Mongols occupied the Central Plains for a while, it would not be possible to last long. So Guo Jing and Huang Rong hired master craftsmen to melt the Xuantie heavy sword given to Guo Xiang by Yang Guo, the Condor Hero, and added Western fine gold to cast a dragon slaying knife and a sword that leaned on the sky. ”
Xie Xun and Zhang Cuishan listened attentively to Song Xing's allusions from decades ago.
"So the secret of this dragon slaying knife is Guo Jing Guo Daxia's lifelong martial arts?" Yin Susu reacted very quickly and immediately asked.
"The secret in the Heavenly Sword is a world-famous martial arts "Nine Yin True Scripture" and Guo Jing's famous and peerless dragon descending eighteen palms, and the dragon slaying knife is hidden in the "Wu Mu Testament" written by Marshal Yue Feiyue of the Southern Song Dynasty, but what is hidden in the sword is a dark iron piece, and the location and map of the hidden treasure are marked on the dark iron piece."
Song Xing looked at Xie Xun's somewhat dull face, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes: "So the Kongjian Master back then may have been mistaken, Brother Xie wanted to take revenge, and he should have grabbed the Heavenly Sword instead of the Dragon Slayer." ”
"The Nine Yin True Scripture, the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending, and Wu Mu's Suicide Letter, I see, this is the secret in the Dragon Slaying Knife." Xie Xun sat there as if he was stupid and muttered to himself.
It turned out that even if he cracked the secret of the dragon slayer knife over the years, what he got was just a military book, and it didn't help him to take revenge at all.
Now that he has been wasted for ten years and is blind again, even if Cheng Kun appears in front of him, can he still take revenge?
Xie Xun's face was gloomy, and he smiled miserably: "This is fate, the thief is always in trouble with me everywhere, ten years ago, and ten years later, hahaha."
Song Xing sighed when he saw Xie Xun's appearance, and continued: "In order to take revenge, Ling killed innocents indiscriminately on the rivers and lakes and committed a lot of bloody crimes. These sins, when you return to the Central Plains, someone will naturally come to you to collect them. For Brother Zhang's sake, give me the Dragon Slaying Knife, and I can help you find Cheng Kun, and even help you kill him. ”
Xie Xun suddenly raised his head: "Do you know where Cheng Kun is?" ”
He searched for thirteen years but couldn't find Cheng Kun's whereabouts, and his cultivation of the Seven Injuries Fist hurt his heart, so that his mind was often crazy, and he would commit countless bloody crimes in the rivers and lakes.
But even so, he did not lead to Cheng Kun's whereabouts.
Song Xing said: "In fact, Cheng Kun has always been hidden in the Shaolin Temple, and has secretly sowed discord in the rivers and lakes over the years, in order to make the rivers and lakes chaotic. Even killing your whole family in the first place was part of his plan. ”
Zhang Cuishan frowned: "Caused chaos in the rivers and lakes, why?" ”
When he learned about the Xie family's tragedy from Xie Xun, he originally thought it was Cheng Kun's drunken disorder, but now he learned from Song Xing that it was deliberate, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Even Xie Xun was shocked: "What did you say?" ”
Song Xing said, "You heard it right. Cheng Kun had bad intentions when he accepted you as a disciple, he had a grudge against Yang Dingtian, the leader of the Ming Sect, and killed your whole family in order to lead you crazy and provoke the struggle between the rivers and lakes and the Ming Sect. ”
"He is under the pseudonym Yuanzhen, hidden in Shaolin Temple, and can provoke the six major sects to fight against the Ming Sect when necessary, so naturally you can't find him."
Zhang Cuishan was surprised: "But the Shaolin Temple has been destroyed in the hands of tricksters." So, the revenge of the eldest brother has been avenged? ”
Song Xing shook his head: "How can it be so simple." Shaolin Temple was destroyed in the hands of the Hundred Damage Daoist, and the Hundred Damage Daoist accepted three apprentices that year, in addition to the two elders of Xuan Ming, the third disciple was Cheng Kun. The destruction of Shaolin by the Hundred Losses Dao people is estimated to have the credit of Cheng Kun. ”
