Chapter 444: Sword Shrine
Five days later.
Luqi and his party had arrived in the area of Tivasseur in the province of Barouo, not far from the main island of Ionia.
These days, the three of Lu Qi have also been walking with Yi and Sun Wukong's master and apprentice, and Yi has many other cultures about Wuji in addition to teaching Lu Qi Wuji's swordsmanship.
It also contains a profound Infinite Meditation method, which can quickly consume mental energy and restore the physical state after use.
In the past few days, Lu Qi's harvest can be described as quite rich.
He had already comprehended the Perfection-level Infinite Sword Intent a long time ago, but just comprehending the sword intent, the sword technique was always almost meaningless.
The full power of the Infinite Sword Intent could not be brought into play.
Now that I've learned the Infinite Sword Technique, the missing link has finally been filled.
Wuji's concept is very suitable for self-cultivation, and Yi is also a well-deserved master, with admirable heart and strength.
Along the way, listening to his teachings, Akali and Ahri also benefited a lot.
At the same time, the three of them learned that Yi and Sun Wukong were planning to go to a sword shrine this time.
"Sword Shrine?"
On the way, Akali thought for a moment and said, "It seems to have a little impression, is it that ancient battlefield?" ”
"Not bad." Yi nodded slightly and looked ahead: "This time I went down the mountain, and I heard about the sword mound from the mouths of others. It is said that the spirits of ancient spirits are stored there, and I want to visit them. ”
"I see." Akali nodded and looked at Luffy, "Shall we go and have a look?" It seems to be dropping by. ”
Lu Qi thought for a moment and said, "Since it's a stopper, it's okay to go and have a look." How much do you know about this sword mound, tell me about it. ”
"I don't pay much attention to it, but I still know something."
Akali recalled for a moment, and then spoke, "This sword mound was once an ancient battlefield, and the time probably goes back to a long, long time ago. It is said that there are thousands of ancient weapons scattered throughout the sword mound, all of which have survived from ancient times.
Later, it attracted many people to visit, and some strong people chose this place as their cemetery, and they came and went, and there were more and more weapons on the battlefield, and later it was called the sword mound.
It is said that this sword mound also has its own spirituality, and if you are destined to go, you may be able to get a weapon suitable for yourself. ”
After listening to her explanation, everyone almost had some understanding and became interested at the same time.
The location of the sword mound is not far away.
In the morning, the five of them came to the area where the sword mound was located, in a continuous valley.
There are already a lot of people on the road here, and most of them seem to come here, and occasionally there is a conversation in the ears.
"The sword mound has finally opened, and I came all the way from afar."
"Who isn't, maybe there's an ancient weapon that suits me."
"Even if you don't, it's okay to come and see it."
"You're just in time."
The sound of conversation sounded everywhere, but there were many people gathered in the deep mountains, and at a glance, hundreds of people came to admire it.
But strangely, most of these people are gathered outside the entrance to the valley at the moment.
Akali couldn't bear it, so she found a random passer-by and asked curiously, "Excuse me, why are so many people gathered outside?" ”
The passer-by was also quite friendly, smiled and explained, "Because this sword shrine has not been opened yet." ”
"Open?" A question mark popped up on Akali's head, and she wondered, "The sword mound still has to be opened?" ”
"Naturally, if anyone wants to go, wouldn't the sword mound be destroyed by our descendants a long time ago."
Passers-by saw Akali's confusion and continued, "So the people of the Ancient Sword Gate are guarding here, setting up a barrier to protect the Sword Shrine. It is open every three to five years, and because of the invasion of Noxus, the ancient sword gate and the sword mound are hidden, and they are only open again today. ”
"Oh, thank you."
Akali suddenly thanked and turned to leave, and after returning to the four of them, she said, "It seems that we came at the right time, just in time." ”
After all, it wasn't far away, and the passer-by just now also heard the explanation.
I think it's a coincidence.
Yi looked at the valley in front of him and said: "If that's the case, it's a pity not to take a look." ”
Lu Qi also nodded.
After all, the next time you want to enter the Sword Shrine, you will have to wait for three or even five years.
The land of Ionia is very strange, and he also wants to see what kind of weapons are in this sword mound.
About half an hour later.
Voices everywhere suddenly became noisy, and many people's eyes invariably looked in one direction.
I saw a group of people dressed in red and white ancient armor walking forward, led by a short-haired woman who looked to be over forty years old, but her eyes were bright, and there were some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
She was followed by more than a dozen people, both men and women, with solemn faces.
"Everyone, I am the head of the Ancient Sword Sect, Linjun, let everyone wait for a long time."
The woman at the head spoke, and her voice was strong and penetrating, reaching everyone's ears.
Obviously a master.
The voices in the crowd unconsciously fell silent.
Lin Jun glanced at everyone, and then said: "The sword mound will be opened immediately, before opening, I will say a few words." There are dangers in the sword shrine that even we don't know, and there are no restrictions on entry after opening, but before entering, I also advise you to prepare accordingly and be responsible for your own lives.
Finally, I hope you can all find your own opportunity in the sword shrine. ”
After finishing speaking, Lin Jun glanced at the disciple behind her.
Four of the disciples nodded, took out a rune stone from their arms, and then stood separately, with Lin Jun standing in the middle.
"Start!"
As soon as she gave the order, the rune stone in her hand immediately burst out with strange light and shot into the air.
At the same time, the other four disciples held the rune stones in their hands as well.
I saw that the light seemed to be shining on some barrier, and as the magic power continued to surge, it was visible to the naked eye, and a barrier of blue light began to fall.
This was obviously the protective device of the sword shrine, and as the barrier fell, a wide mountain road passage slowly appeared in everyone's eyes.
On the road alone, there were several yellowed ancient weapons, some of which were even extremely huge. At the same time, there is also a huge ancient stone statue head lying on the ground, with mottled marks on it, telling the traces of time.
Many people can't help but wonder what happened here a long, long time ago.
And who is wielding those weapons that are taller than men?
"Alright, everyone, the sword shrine barrier has been closed, and you can enter and exit freely. There is one last word for you to remember before entering, and at the same time in three days, I will close the sword shrine. If you don't return in time, you'll be trapped in it until the next time you turn it on. I hope you know. ”
Lin Jun's eyes swept over everyone, and after speaking, she got out of the way and stopped doing so.
For a while, the crowd poured into the sword mound, and the five of Lu Qi followed behind the large army, advancing unhurriedly.
On the other side, the people from the Ancient Sword Gate were standing there, watching people enter.
"Master, among these people, are there any people who can open up there?"
A disciple stepped forward and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"It's not for you and me to decide." Lin Jun looked at the team that entered the Sword Shrine, and her eyes seemed to be colder than just now, "But no matter what, we have to try, this is our little chance." ”
Her gaze finally fell on the group of five, narrowing her eyes slightly.
At this time, the five Lu Qi had already entered the sword mound, and they all looked at the surrounding environment with some curiosity.
"This sword is so big, it's a lot taller than me."
Akali ran to a greatsword stuck in the ground, and looked up at the ancient greatsword, the blade still sharp.
"yes, who can wield such a big weapon? And it's still so many? ”
Ahri also stepped forward, looking at the various giant weapons around him, although there were many small ones, but they were not as conspicuous as those large ones.
Sun Wukong has already run, he is already an active monkey, and at this time, he is looking, petting, and playing with those ancient weapons.
"It's a little rusty." He now held a long thin sword in his hand, and tried to swing it twice, but it felt like he didn't have a club.
Lu Qi was a little silent when he found out about Yi, and asked, "Senior brother, did you find anything?" ”
Yi took the seventh-degree insight eyepiece and said, "I don't know why, I feel some ominous aura. ”
"Sure enough, Senior Brother also felt it?"
Lu Qi looked around, but he didn't notice anything unusual, and he felt a sense of unease in his heart from just now.
He is very sensitive to the perception of danger, and if he has this feeling, it means that there is obviously some kind of danger in this sword shrine.
"I can't see the specific reason yet, so let's observe and observe."
It's easy to believe that there's nothing wrong with what you perceive, but it's just unclear why.
Akali looked at the fact that there were not many people around him, and said with some curiosity: "Isn't there a large pile of weapons at this door, why don't these people look interested?" ”
"Because inside the sword mound, the deeper you go, the better the quality of the weapon. The weapons at the entrance were just weapons made of iron. Most of the people who come to the Sword Shrine are looking for an opportunity, and I don't know how many strange weapons are hidden in it. ”
An answering voice came from behind him.
Everyone looked and found that it was Lin Jun, who had just opened the sword mound outside, and the group of people from the Ancient Sword Gate behind her.
Yi came back to his senses, bowed slightly towards Lin Jun, and made a greeting salute. And Linjun immediately returned the gift.
Then, Yi raised his head and said, "First time we met, Master Linjun, my name is Yi." ”
"It turned out to be Master Yi." Lin Jun smiled.
"The master doesn't dare to be a master, just an idle swordsman." Yi shook his head and said humbly.
"I see that Your Excellency's aura is restrained, but there is still a sword aura flowing on his body, and he is obviously not an idle person." Lin Jun smiled, and she could see that Yi's strength was extraordinary.
She then said, "Don't bother you to look for an opportunity in the sword shrine, I'll leave first." ”
Without much small talk, she soon left in one direction with a group of disciples.
The entrance road is wide and has different directions.
Seeing the group disappear, Akali said, "That Lin Jun just now is also a master. ”
Lu Qi glanced at her: "Who can't feel what you said." ”
"Hmph."
Akali glared at him, turned around and pulled Ahri to visit the sword mound again.
Lu Qi looked at the direction in which Linjun disappeared, and then withdrew his gaze.
Not to mention anything else, if you can become the head of the ancient sword sect who cares about the sword mound, you must have the strength on your body.
However, he didn't expect that the Ancient Sword Gate would also enter the Sword Shrine.
What did they come in for?
Without much thought, Lucky's interest began to wander around.
From time to time, he picked up an ancient weapon to check it on, and then put it back in.
Yukimi is also an ancient weapon, but the quality is much higher than these.
According to Lin Jun, there are higher-quality weapons in the depths of this sword mound, but I don't know if I can find one that suits me.
Luch has now learned to use two things, and he just lacks a left-handed weapon.
Compared to their swaggering around, Yi's every move carried a kind of respect for these departed ancestors.
He would likewise take up his weapon and examine it, then put it back when he was done, and then fold his hands and bow down to pay the utmost respect to these departed souls.
Lu Qi knew that this was by no means something he pretended, but a humility that he had cultivated since childhood and engraved in his bones.
It is precisely because of this humility that Yi has gone on the path of a true master.
In the afternoon, the five of them spent this time in the sword mound, saw many different scenery, and also appreciated the grandeur of this former ancient battlefield.
There are also too many weapons scattered here and there, some damaged, some intact, some rusty, some like new, some ancient and some accumulated over the years.
As for the particularly big danger, it has not yet been encountered.
It was only through observation that several people learned that the inside of the sword mound was vast, basically the same as the outside world, and there were also many creatures living there.
And these creatures also have some characteristics of sword shrines.
For example, Lu Qi and the others once saw a giant turtle with many swords swimming over a lake, and some people tried to jump on it to get a sword, but they were thrown away.
Falling into the lake, so not embarrassed.
Another example is that at this time, a bent-backed ape with a long sword stood in front of several people, and his eyes showed fierce intent.
Seeing this, Akali couldn't help but be happy: "Monkey, is it your relative?" ”
"I'm the Simi Ape, it's the Curt-backed Ape, can it be the same!"
Sun Wukong glanced at Akali unhappily, and the one opposite was completely an animal.
However, he was also a little interested, and with his hand behind his back, he took out a telescopic enchanted long stick: "Don't interfere, let me know it!" ”
In the next second, he took a brisk step and rushed directly with a stick, and the long stick lit up with a golden enchanted light.
Seeing this blow, the bent-backed ape also shouted, galloped out, and raised his sword without the slightest fear, and actually blocked it.
"Something!"
Sun Wukong swung a stick from the side again.
He is naturally not weak, he has divine power, and his body is extremely resistant to beating, and his recovery power is even more amazing.
It's a bit of a King Kong is not bad, Lu Qi also had a fight with the monkey some time ago, although that time directly beat the monkey to self-suffocation.
But it can also be seen that Sun Wukong's strength is at least close to the stage of the Holy White Knight of Demacia.
As for Yi, I'm afraid that he and Lu Qi are in the same stage of the realm.
"This curved back monkey is not simple! Can eat me so many sticks! ”
At this time, there was also a battle report from Sun Wukong's side, he and the curved back monkey were still fighting, and more than a dozen moves had passed.
The creatures in this sword mound are really extraordinary, and it seems that Sun Wukong will not be able to fight in a short period of time.
"Monkey, are you okay? Really can't change me? ”
Akali watched and teased, but there was also a bit of eagerness in her eyes.
Recently, she and Lu Qi have learned a lot of things, although they are not yet proficient, but they have improved a lot.
"Okay! A must! ”
Sun Wukong gritted his teeth, 'Hey', and directly used all his skills.
Suddenly, the sticks were flying, dazzling, quite a bit of Wuji swinging the sword, obviously he learned a lot from Yi.
When the long-backed monkey found that it was invincible, he directly dropped his weapon and turned around and ran, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Sun Wukong didn't chase after him, and the pestle stick with raised eyebrows was on the ground, a bit of a pretend.
Akali said disdainfully: "It's so hard to beat a small animal, I'm embarrassed to meet people." ”
The monkey was suddenly ruined, and turned his head to look at Akali angrily: "Don't accept the competition!" ”
"Let's learn!"
Akali had a surge of war.
She and Monkey, as apprentices of Lu Qi and Yi, often learn from each other.
Each has its own wins and losses, and no one obeys anyone.
