Lin Pingzhi entered Xiangyang City and found the rudder of the local Fuwei Dart Bureau to show his identity, and the dart master was naturally courteous.

Lin Pingzhi immediately ordered them to go down and ask them to ask the local hunters to see if they had seen the Bodhisattva snake in the mountains and forests southwest of Xiangyang. This snake has a strange form, and as long as it doesn't go extinct, someone will definitely notice it.

Sure enough, news soon came. Some hunters have seen this kind of snake in the mountains and forests more than 20 miles southwest of Xiangyang City. Lin Pingzhi was overjoyed, rewarded Orion with ten taels of silver, and immediately set off to find the sword mound.

Lin Pingzhi entered the mountains and forests and walked more than ten miles of mountain roads. On the way, he saw what seemed to be a bodhisattva, but he didn't try to catch it. Lin Pingzhi has already advanced to the innate level, and he can directly absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and the snake gall is of little use to him.

As he walked, Lin Pingzhi suddenly heard the faint roar of water. Following the sound, I walked another seven or eight miles, and vaguely saw that there seemed to be a horse in front of the right pouring down.

Lin Ping's heart was overjoyed, it was indeed a waterfall!

According to the description in the book of the Condor Heroes, the Condor once led Yang to a waterfall to practice the Xuantie heavy sword. If this is the waterfall, then this place should be in the northeast direction of the sword mound, then if he wants to find the sword mound, he should look for it in the southwest direction.

Lin Pingyi thought of this, and immediately became enlightened, turned around and went to the southwest, without the idea of going to the waterfall to watch. Although it is the place where the Condor Heroes practice swords, but the one has passed away, what is so strange about just a waterfall.

Sure enough, when Lin Pingzhi walked a few miles to the southwest, he finally came to a cliff. The cliff is like a huge screen, rising to the sky, the middle of the cliff is about 20 zhang from the ground, there is a big stone of three or four zhang square, it is like a platform, and there are words faintly engraved on the edge of the stone. Looking up, I saw clearly that it was the two big characters of "Sword Shrine".

"Sword Shrine!"

Lin Pingzhi looked at the two big words, and couldn't help but be leisurely fascinated, at the age of the weak crown, he was already competing for dominance in the world, and he was alone and seeking defeat, even though he mentioned it only a few words, but it jumped on the paper.

Lin Pingzhi used the longitudinal technique to climb the rock, although the cliff was steep, it was difficult for him. True Qi was running, and after only a few breaths, he came to the side of the sword mound boulder.

Lin Ping went to wipe off the soil and moss, and stroked the strokes of these two big characters with his fingers, feeling the sword edge of Dugu's defeat. This is exactly the purpose of Lin Ping's here.

After a long time, Lin Pingzhi came to his senses, and sure enough, the sword intent of the two words was in line with the stone carvings on the Jade Girl Peak, and it seemed that Yang Guo had indeed obtained the true inheritance of Dugu's defeat, and had reached the realm of winning without a sword.

Of course, there are differences. Dugu is loyal to the sword all his life, obsessed with the sword, and the sword is everything in his life. Yang Guo is different, what he is best at is the Gloomy Ecstasy Palm, and the Xuantie Sword Technique is just one of his martial arts. Therefore, in the two words of the sword mound, the sword intent is purer and stronger, and the level is even higher. Lin Pingzhi naturally benefited a lot.

Lin Pingzhi was very satisfied, even if he only saw these two words, he had already made this trip in vain.

Next to the two big characters of "sword mound" on the big stone, there are still two lines of stone carvings with smaller fonts, the age is old, the handwriting is shallow, the wind erodes and the water invades, and it is no longer clear to see. I think it's the passage recorded in the Condor Book.

The original book said: "After more than 30 years of crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, I have killed all the enemies and defeated the heroes, and there is no resistance in the world, and there is nothing to do, but to live in seclusion in the deep valley and take the eagle as a friend." Alack! In life, I can't get an opponent, and I'm embarrassed to be lonely. ”

Lin Ping's hand touched the lettering, only to feel the sword intent, obviously the long years have passed, but can still feel the pride of the person who carved the words and the loneliness of the difficult opponent.

Lin Pingzhi shook his head and shook off the remembrance in his heart, he slowly squatted down and moved the stones under the mound, anyway, it's all here, let's take a look.

In the original book, there are a total of four sword mounds here, and the first one is a sharp sword with blue light: "Fierce and fierce, invincible, and it is used to compete with the heroes of Heshuo before the weak crown."

The second is "Crape Myrtle Soft Sword, used before the age of 30, accidentally injured the righteous and ominous, it is the deep valley of abandonment, this sword has been abandoned in the deep valley, so it is not in the sword mound, represented by stone chips"

The third is the Xuantie heavy sword: "The heavy sword has no edge, it is ingenious and does not work, and it is rampant in the world before the age of forty." The appearance is dark and swarthy, and the sword body is dark and faintly reveals a red light more than three feet long, weighing a total of nine hundred and eighty-one pounds, the blades on both sides are blunt, and the tip of the sword is round and seems to be a hemisphere.

The fourth is a wooden sword, "After the age of forty, it is not stuck in things, and plants, trees, bamboos and stones can be used as swords."

Dugu seeks defeat and releases the four swords here, representing the four sword realms in his life, "Sword Realm", "Heavy Sword Realm", "Wooden Sword Realm" and the "No Sword Realm" where no sword is better than a sword.

According to the original book of the Condor Heroes, there are at most two swords left here - a sharp sword and a wooden sword. Of course, after so many years, the wooden sword must have completely decayed.

Ziwei soft sword was abandoned in the valley because of the unknown injury of the righteous man in his early years. The Xuantie heavy sword was taken away by Yang Guo, and after the city of Xiangyang was broken, it was melted into the Nine Yin True Scripture hidden in the Dragon Slayer of the Heavenly Sword, the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon and the Suicide Note of Wu Mu, this is the story of the Heavenly Dragon Slayer.

Then in front of Lin Pingzhi's eyes, this sword mound was empty, there was nothing left, and even the words on the stones were blurred.

Lin Pingzhi observed carefully, and saw that next to the originally vague inscription on the stone under the original sword, there were a few more lines of small characters engraved, which were originally carved by later people, and they were vaguely recognizable:

"By chance, I strayed into the sword mound, and my predecessors were invincible in the world in their lives. Yang has received his favor, and he is very ashamed! Today, there is a work of vomiting blood, boasting that it can break the world's moves, thanks to the legacy of the ancestors, so it is named Dugu Nine Swords. There is a spirit in the ground of the predecessors, don't laugh at the dog's tail and continue to mink, haha! ”

When Lin Pingzhi saw this, a doubt in his heart was solved, and sure enough, Dugu Nine Swords was not created by Dugu to seek defeat, but by Yang Guo in his name.

Yang Guo successively learned the kung fu of various sects from Ouyang Feng, Quanzhen Sect, Ancient Tomb Sect, Jiuyin Zhenjing, Hong Qigong, Huang Rong, Guo Jing, and Dugu Qiuqiu, and learned and practiced very miscellaneous, familiar with all kinds of weapons and fists and feet, and only he could create the Dugu Nine Swords that cracked various weapons.

But according to Yang Guo's last moment, he should have put the Dugu Nine Swords Sword Spectrum here, but why was it completely missing?

Lin Pingzhi quickly found out the reason, it turned out that there was a small pit next to the sword mound, and the words "Dugu Nine Swords Burial" were written on the stone slab covered with it, and the stone slab was uncovered, but it was empty inside. Look carefully, there is a line of small words engraved on the inner wall: "The younger generation is clear and the wind is clear, and by chance, the ancestors have to leave a legacy and learn the Dugu Nine Swords." Now the Demon Sect is raging, and I am afraid that these magic skills will be obtained by evil spirits, so I take them. I hope that the predecessors will atone for their sins! ”

Lin Pingzhi completely understood now. It turned out that Feng Qingyang occasionally obtained the Dugu Nine Swords here, but he was quite inauthentic, and after learning it, he actually took the sword book directly. Lin Pingzhi even suspected that the sword used by Dugu to seek defeat was also taken by Feng Qingyang. This old man also only cares about himself, regardless of future generations!

Well, it seems that the sword mound is also left with those inscriptions. However, being able to comprehend Dugu's defeat and Yang Guoxia's sword intent from these inscriptions, Lin Pingzhi was already satisfied.

Lin Pingzhi lived in the sword mound for a few days, and also found the tomb of Dugu. The tomb is not an ordinary gravel pile in the original work of the Condor Heroes, but a mausoleum of the Eight Classics, with the tombstone written: "The Tomb of Dugu Seeking Defeat" and "The Younger Yang Guo Gongli". It seems that Yang Guo came here later and gave Dugu a good burial for his predecessors.

The tomb of the eagle was not seen, and it may have been buried elsewhere with Yang Guo.

Lin Pingzhi still tried the snake gall of the Bodhisattva snake, and it smelled bad. Although it is indeed good for cultivating internal strength, he will not eat the second one if he is killed. You can get Linghu Chong over and let him taste this thing.

In the past few days in the Sword Shrine, Lin Pingzhi carefully pondered the residual sword intent of Dugu and Yang Guo, and his swordsmanship has also improved greatly. The angry wave sword technique displayed is not only overwhelming people, but vaguely has the artistic conception of white waves. When ordinary martial arts people see this sword technique, it is estimated that they can't even hand over their weapons. Of course, this kind of sword intent is only a rudiment, and it is far inferior to Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun's gun intent, not to mention Dugu and Yang Guo.

Leaving the sword mound, Lin Pingzhi went straight to Taihu Lake according to the plan.

Taihu Lake was known as Zhenze and Gu District in ancient times, also known as Wuhu and Kaze, and is located in the south of Jiangsu, bordering Wuxi in the north, Huzhou in Zhejiang in the south, Changzhou and Yixing in Jiangsu in the west, and Suzhou in Jiangsu in the east.

The water area of Taihu Lake is vast, the waves are turbulent, the lake surface is shaped by the crescent moon in the west, the southwest lake shore is smooth and arc-shaped, and the northeast lake shore is tortuous and multi-lake bays and mountain horns. The lake is 130 miles long and has a maximum width of more than 100 li. There are many islands, large and small, about 100 or so.

Taihu Lake Lujiazhuang, which appeared in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", is located on the edge of Taihu Lake, Zhuangzi is called "Guiyunzhuang", and the owner is Lu Chengfeng.

Lu Chengfeng is a disciple of Peach Blossom Island, one of the six early disciples of the Eastern Evil Yellow Medicine Master, ranking fourth. Because Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng stole Huang Yaoshi's "Nine Yin True Scripture" and betrayed the master, Lu Chengfeng and other brothers were implicated and expelled from the division after the master broke his legs.

After being driven out of Peach Blossom Island, Lu Chengfeng settled on the edge of Taihu Lake and called himself the "Five Lakes Wasteman". He learned the techniques of Qimen Dunjia and the Five Elements of Yin and Yang in his master's door, so he arranged the manor he lived in according to the appearance of Peach Blossom Island, although it was not as good as Huang Yaoshi's personal arrangement, but it was more than enough to trap ordinary people.

For Lujiazhuang, Lin Pingzhi did not have much hope. Because at the time of the Condor, Lujiazhuang had already been burned by Ouyang Feng and moved to Dasheng Pass. After so many years, it is estimated that even the relics are gone.

Sure enough, as expected, Lin Pingzhi asked around, and no one had heard of Lujiazhuang at all. There are no relics around Taihu Lake, and Lin Pingzhi is dead in this heart.

According to the records of Tianlong Babu, Yanziwu is located in Shenhezhuang at the beginning of thirty miles west of Gusu City, on a small island in Taihu Lake. Lin Pingzhi hired a fishing boat to ripple on the Taihu Lake, eating fresh river and enjoying the beautiful scenery. That day Dragon Babu was a matter of the Northern Song Dynasty, more than 400 years from now, and Swallow Dock is not a hidden catacomb, some ground buildings are just some ground buildings, and it is impossible to leave anything behind. Lin Pingzhi just beats dates with a bamboo pole, whether he has a pole or not.

After walking around for a few days, Lin Pingzhi really found some ruins on the island. It's just that there is nothing but some cornerstones. There is no way to verify whether it is even a swallow dock. Lin Pingzhi even released the treasure hunting mouse Xiaohong, the little guy turned around, and then squeaked, meaning that there was no fart, don't toss around.
