The crane-haired old man's name was Ling Qiu, and the fat swordsman's name was Feng Qiu'er, which Ye Chong only learned about later.

That night, he came out of Ye Chonglou's room and followed Ling Qiu and Feng Qiu'er to the maple forest in front of King Xun's Mansion.

The red dancing in the maple forest had already turned into dead leaves and withered and piled up on the ground, and the bamboo rouge sent the three of them to the pavilion.

There is a goshawk next to the pavilion.

The goshawk stood on the ground, and seemed to be larger than the pavilion.

Its beak was two feet long, its eyes were the size of fists, its pupils were brown, its wings were full, and its black feathers were marked with countless scarlet markings, like specimens of blood.

It was now holding its wings, as if dozing off.

It was the vehicle for the two people of the sword mound who came to pick up Ye Chong.

Bamboo Rouge said with some surprise: "This is ...... Blood Luo Eagle!"

It is rumored that thousands of years ago, the Blood Luo Eagle was the most common aerial mount in the entire continent, and even the most ordinary warriors could get a Blood Luo Eagle and ride it to soar into the sky, exploring and traveling in the great dynasty and the heavens and regions farther away.

It was a great event for warriors.

However, after experiencing the brutal war of dynastic change and the establishment of a new dynasty, the Bloody Eagle clan began to gradually wither, and now it is almost extinct.

I didn't expect that the sword mound still had such a race from thousands of years ago.

Feng Qiu'er said with a smile: "The girl can't help but look beautiful, and her chest is quite splendid!"

As he spoke, his slippery eyes swirled around his full chest.

The stern-faced old man Ling Qiu ignored them, walked to the side of Blood Luo Ying, stretched out his hand and patted it, and a treasure talisman appeared in his hand, overflowing with brilliance.

Then the Blood Eagle seemed to have woken up from its sleep, and as it lowered its body, it spread its wings.

Its wings are as huge as a ship's sails.

"You can go. Ling Qiu jumped on the back of the eagle and looked at Ye Chongdao.

Ye Chong nodded, glanced back at the bamboo rouge, and he saw a trace of reluctance.

"I'll be back. ”

He smiled and said to Bamboo Rouge.

There was also a meaningful smile on Bamboo Rouge's bright face, "I know." ”

Then Ye Chong and Feng Qiu'er jumped on the back of the eagle at the same time.

Bamboo Rouge took a few steps back.

The wings of the Blood Luo Eagle flapped suddenly, and a strong hurricane burst out of the entire maple forest, and the dead leaves all over the ground were blown up by the strong wind, making a rattling sound.

Bamboo Rouge could barely open his eyes at this moment, and even reached out and grabbed the trunk of the tree on the side, barely standing firmly.

Then a long howl was heard.

The Blood Luo Eagle soared into the sky.

By the time Bamboo Rouge opened his eyes, the Blood Luo Eagle had already rushed into the clouds with the three of them, turning into a smiling black shadow under the starry sky, flying into the distance.

For some reason, Bamboo Rouge's eyes suddenly turned red.

She looked at the sky in a daze for a long time before she slowly spoke, confiding out the next sentence that she hadn't said just now.

"I'll wait for you. ”

At this time, in the Changchun Hou Mansion, Shen Qing'er was in the room, looking at the starry sky through the window in a daze.

After experiencing the change in the palace, she has been staying at home, and the whole person seems to be a little depressed, and the scene of Ye Chong and Wang Donglin's life-and-death struggle that day keeps playing back in her mind.

She clearly remembered Ye Chong's every movement, every look, and every expression after being injured.

The resolute young man once again left an indelible impression on her, and the thought that he might go to Qi Country to participate in special training like herself in a few days, her heart swelled with an emotion that seemed to be very nervous and longing.

This is a feeling that Shen Qing'er, who has always demanded herself with a mature attitude, has never had.

She even has some gains and losses, after all...... When she treated Ye Chong before, she had too many concerns, which led to some alienation from each other.

At this moment, the door of her room was suddenly opened.

After Shen Fengyang, who had been busy for the new lord in the palace for a day, returned to the Hou Mansion, he went straight to his daughter's room.

Then he brought a message to his daughter.

"Ye Chong went to the Sword Tomb of Life and Death. ”

"Huh?!"

At this moment, Shen Qing'er felt as if her heart was being grabbed by a giant hand that had been invisible all along, and she said with a panicked expression: "Why?"

"I don't know very well, I just know that someone came to the Sword Shrine today and took him away from the Xunwang Mansion. ”

Shen Fengyang also got this news in the palace, and he couldn't talk about his likes or dislikes for Ye Chong at this time, but only thought of the relationship between their father and son and his family, as well as the various turmoil and incidents in the past year, and he felt a little emotional for no reason.

As a father, on the wall of the palace, when watching Ye Chong and Wang Donglin fighting for life and death, he could vaguely feel the tension and changes in the emotions of the daughter beside him.

It's not that he hasn't heard of his daughter's attitude towards Ye Chong in the barren mountain, in the mountain behind the palace, and even at the door of Ye Chong's residence in the Divine General's Courtyard.

There was no need for him to deliberately inquire, these news would naturally reach his ears through Shen Qian'er, who was dissatisfied with Ye Chong.

That's why he came to tell Shen Qing'er the news at this time.

At the same time, he brought another piece of news.

"On the way back just now, Liang Guozhang proposed to me, his grandson Chengwu is a ...... of the same academy as you."

"Father, I'm going to Qi Country to participate in special training soon, and it may take a long time, so I don't want to think about it now. Shen Qing'er interrupted her father's words in a cold and hard tone.

This situation rarely happens to her who is "sensible".

Shen Fengyang smiled bitterly, and didn't continue to talk after all, just nodded, and turned to leave.

He felt that he and his daughter could not be as close as the father and daughter of ordinary people, which made him feel a little lost for the first time in his heart.

"It looks like I'm really old. ”

No one would have thought that Chang Chunhou, who has been working in power and scheming and has not suffered any damage in this change of dynasty, would make such an exclamation at this moment.

And behind him.

Shen Qing'er was still looking at the starry sky, but her cheeks suddenly became wet.

......

Half a month later.

On the northeastern edge of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Blood Luo Eagle slowly descended from the clouds.

Below, there is a mountain range like a sleeping dragon, coiled in the wind and snow.

Due to the northerly terrain, the climate here is still a bit cold, and when viewed from above, it looks like a snowy field.

The distance between the snow and the clouds did not seem to be far away.

Because the snow is covered with ten thousand mountains.

There are many mountain peaks, and the mountains are densely packed.

Here, it is the sword mound of life and death that the swordsmen of the world yearn for and fear.

The sword mound is in the middle of the mountains.

Where the Blood Luo Eagle fell, there was a hot spring, and the spring water merged into a small stream, gurgling and flowing, bubbling with white steam. In the center of the spring, there is a peach tree that is sturdy.

Peach blossoms, blooming in the wind and snow.

The steam of the hot springs rises and swirls around the peach trees.

This scene is extremely beautiful and treacherous.

Ye Chong followed Ling Qiu and Feng Qiu'er to jump off the eagle's back, and only then did he see clearly that under the peach tree, there was a stone monument that was not big, but seemed to have gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes.

On the black stone stele, there are four powerful characters - the Sword Tomb of Life and Death.

At this time, Ling Qiu suddenly took out a burden from his body.

He looked at the stone tablet and crushed the talisman in his hand.

The treasure talisman turned into several streamers of light in an instant, floating from his hand towards the stone tablet, enveloping it.

The four words "Life and Death Sword Shrine" flew up from the stone tablet and floated into the air behind the stream, automatically dismantling, forming a golden "door".

The back of the "door" seemed to be foggy, and all that came into view was a haze.

Ye Chong followed Ling Qiu and Feng Qiu'er to the "door" and walked into the haze.

He only felt a trance, and then his eyes were completely new.

There is no wind and snow, no ice and snow, and what catches his eye is countless towering peaks, each of which has watchtowers, and even the dense jungle and waterfalls hanging over the mountains and rivers can be seen.

It's like another world.

This is the first time Ye Chong has seen such a miraculous work. Even in the ancient books of the library of the Divine Shogun's Academy, there is no similar record.

Ye Chong suddenly felt the true qi in the sea of qi surging, as if he suddenly became active, and his body became light.

This is due to the abundant spiritual energy in the sword mound.

Ye Chong had seen some records that through the art of creation, a space could be formed into a place of gathering spirits, and this sword mound must be attached to this kind of creation.

"Come with us to the Elders' Hall first. ”

Ling Qiu's tone was meticulous, and then he walked towards the highest peak.

Ye Chong hurriedly followed, and at this time, the Blood Luo Eagle was also following behind them, he didn't understand why he couldn't continue to let the Blood Luo Eagle carry it, after all, it would take some time to climb the highest mountain.

However, seeing that Ling Qiu and Feng Qiu'er both had serious expressions on their faces, he didn't ask.

There are stone steps at the foot of the mountain, Ye Chong went all the way up, and when he reached the top of the peak and saw the tall buildings of the elders' hall, he silently counted the stairs here in his heart, and there were more than 1,900 steps.

If it weren't for the fact that he already had the cultivation of the Nine Heavens of the Qi Sea Realm, he was afraid that just these stone steps would have to be half exhausted and half dead.

Then he entered the main hall of the Elder's Hall.

"You are Ye Chong?"

The elder, who thought that his eyebrows were all white and looked a little older than Ling Qiu, sat on the chair on the left side of the main hall, squinting at Ye Chong.

Ye Chong nodded.

Then, before he could react, the elder suddenly swept to his side like a gust of wind, and stretched out a finger to probe at his dantian.

Ye Chong instantly felt that his aura was being pulled by a powerful force, and he almost wanted to leave his body.

"Well, it is true that he inherited the sun and the moon. ”

The elder lightly tapped the end of the ground, and then stretched out a finger again, touching the center of Ye Chong's eyebrows.

Ye Chong felt that his figure seemed to be locked at this moment, his steps were as heavy as a thousand catties, and he couldn't move at all.

Then he felt a coolness in his eyebrows.

A thumb-sized purple markings instantly appeared in the center of his eyebrows.

The elder's mellow voice sounded in his ears at the same time, "From this moment on, you are the sword slave of the Sword Shrine. ”
