Tai Hao whispered softly: "Phoenix Pavilion? It turns out that the forces on Liuding Mountain are named after this name. The halberd male next to him turned to Zhu Ying and shouted loudly: "Lord Zhu Ying, I don't know if you still know me, the reason why we did it to them is really helpless." ”

Zhu Ying said coldly: "That halberd male, the old man once strictly ordered the disciples of the Phoenix Pavilion not to let you step into Liuding Mountain for half a step, but you have repeatedly tried to break into the mountain, it seems that you are impatient!" ”

The halberd hero hurriedly responded, "Zhu Ying Pavilion Lord, please calm your anger." If it weren't for Sister Coriander and you to save me, I would have died in Huangquan long ago. This time, I went to Liuding Mountain on the orders of several masters......"

Zhu Ying interrupted him and said categorically: "Needless to say, the old body will never let you go up the mountain." She turned to Tai Hao and continued: "This Tai Hao young man, you want to see Qianzhi, but she has made it clear that she will not see any man, so please leave quickly." ”

Tai Hao said calmly: "Zhu Ying Pavilion Master, I haven't seen Coriander for many years, and I am eager to go up the mountain to see him, so I implore the Pavilion Master to make it convenient." ”

The halberd looked at him firmly and said, "Brother Taihao, it seems that we have to start a fierce battle with them. ”

Tai Hao whispered to the halberd male, "Don't act rashly, how did you offend them?" ”

The halberd male was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Don't ask, if we can't defeat them today, I'm afraid we won't be able to continue to go up the mountain." ”

Zhu Ying said at this time: "Taihao Shaoxia, the old man has heard of your reputation, and today I can let you go up the mountain to meet Qianzhi, but the halberd male is not allowed to go up the mountain." ”

Tai Hao said in a deep voice: "For the death of Mi Hai's predecessors, it is indeed the fault of the next. After I meet with Coriander Zhi, I will be at the disposal of the Lord of Zhuying Pavilion. ”

Zhu Ying said coldly: "Senior Brother Mihai died under the sword of that halberd, and the old body already knew it. Even if he doesn't hurt my senior brother, the old body will end the matter with him. Do you know that his master is the 'Four Great Demons'? ”

Tai Hao bowed slightly: "I have already learned about it." ”

Zhu Ying continued to ask: "He is the son of the anti-thief, have you ever known?" ”

Tai Hao stared at the halberd Xiong, thinking in his heart: it turned out that he was really related to that pawn. He shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know anything about this. ”

Zhu Ying said in a solemn tone: "Taihao Shaoxia, as an official of the imperial court, but you are walking with the son of a thief, aren't you afraid of the punishment of the imperial court?" ”

The halberd male suddenly became hideous and terrifying, and roared angrily: "Don't talk nonsense! Then he swung his sword and rushed towards Zhu Ying. Seeing this, Zhu Ying raised the jade girl sword in his hand to face the battle, but the difference in strength between the two was huge, and the halberd male was instantly knocked to the ground.

The halberd male shouted to Taihao: "Brother Taihao, don't you do it yet?" We will not be able to climb the mountain unless we defeat him. ”

In the flickering of sword light, the female disciples beside Zhu Ying danced like fairies descending to earth, and stabbed towards the halberd male with their swords. The moonlight danced on the tips of their swords, and the blades reflected a dazzling light, as if a reflection of their determination. However, Taihao didn't have time to come back to his senses, he glanced at the halberd man ambivalently, and hesitated in his heart whether he should help.

At this moment, a demonic wind blew, accompanied by a black figure. It was a man in a black robe, and like a ghost in the dark, he rushed at an astonishing speed, and with a wave of his palm, he went straight to the group of women. Although the group of women were brave, they were instantly repelled under the onslaught of the black-robed man. Their eyes were full of astonishment and unwillingness, but more determined and fearless. At this moment, Tai Hao recognized the man in the black robe - it was the poor two of the 'Four Great Demons'. His heart tightened, knowing that it was going to be an even tougher battle.

The poor two did not fight with Zhu Ying, but galloped away with the halberd. Then, a group of heroines surrounded Tai Hao, and Zhu Ying said: "Everyone, please step down, Qiu Yue, you lead this Tai Hao young man to the ancient tower to meet Qian Zhi." ”

With that, Zhu Ying led many of her female disciples away. There was only one female disciple left, she walked towards Taihao and said softly: "Taihao Shaoxia, please come with me!" ”

Taihao smiled slightly: "There is Miss Lao!" ”

On the mountain road leading to the ancient pagoda, Tai Hao asked Qiu Yue curiously, "Miss Qiu Yue, are you also a disciple of Lord Zhu Ying Pavilion?" ”

Qiu Yue smiled slightly: "On this Liuding Mountain, we are all disciples of the Pavilion Master. ”

Tai Hao continued to ask: "Why is this gang on Liuding Mountain called Phoenix Pavilion instead of Liuding Sect?" ”

Qiu Yue explained: "There is a pavilion called Phoenix Pavilion on this Liuding Mountain, so the women of our gang are named after Phoenix Pavilion. ”

Tai Hao asked suspiciously, "Are all of your gang really female disciples?" ”

Qiu Yue nodded and said, "That's true, Master Zhu Ying only accepts female disciples. ”

Taihao couldn't help but ask, "But I heard that Qian Zhi married her senior brother, is this true?" ”

Qiu Yue thought silently for a moment before she slowly spoke: "Regarding this matter, it is inconvenient for me to reveal too much. Maybe when you see coriander, everything will be clear. ”

Tai Hao asked again, "Will Master Zhu Ying punish me for the death of Mi Hai's seniors?" ”

Qiu Yue shook his head lightly: "My master has made it clear just now that it was the halberd male who killed my master and uncle, and he will not punish you." ”

Tai Hao was puzzled: "There is another thing that I don't understand, why did Coriander appear on the ancient tower in the middle of the night?" Did you spend the night on the tower? ”

Qiu Yue pondered for a moment and said, "When you see Coriander Zhi, everything will be clear. Stop asking questions, there are some things I can't answer. ”

Taihao's heart was full of curiosity, but since Miss Qiu Yue said so, he didn't continue to ask, and quietly waited for the moment when he met Qianzhi.

After walking about a stick of incense, they came to the foot of the ancient pagoda. The seven-story pagoda sits atop a barren hilltop, silent except for the wind whistling in your ears. The body of the tower is built of ancient stones, and each stone has been carefully polished, making it look solemn and simple. Each floor of the tower is indented inwards to form a wide eaves covered with green tiles, adding a bit of mystery to the ancient tower.

Qiu Yue said softly: "Sister Coriander is on the seventh floor, you can go there on your own." ”

Tai Hao asked curiously, "Won't you go up with me?" ”

Qiu Yue lowered her eyes slightly and replied, "I have never set foot there, and I haven't seen her for three years. ”

After listening to Qiu Yue's words, Tai Hao's heart was full of doubts, and he asked, "You mean, Qian Zhi has been trapped in this tower for the past three years?" ”

Qiu Yue nodded slightly.

Tai Hao continued to ask: "Could it be that Coriander is imprisoned here?" ”

Qiu Yue didn't answer, but said lightly: "You go up to see her, in the past few years, only Master and a few senior sisters have gone up." ”

Taihao stepped into the ancient tower with trepidation, and the interior of this ancient tower was extremely neat and tidy, and there was a faint fragrance. Each floor is lit with candles, and the candlelight flickers in the darkness, illuminating Taihao's way forward. When he came to the first floor of the ancient tower, there was a plaque hanging in front of him, on which were written the four big characters "The heart is like stopping water". Tai Hao recited these four words softly, and a deep Zen seeped into his heart through the words. He understood that the meaning of these four words was that the state of mind was as calm as water, without a trace of waves. Tae-ho caught a glimpse of Hye-in, a name that reminded him of Onishi, who he hadn't seen for years. Onishi is now a monk, and Huiren is his master. Taihao said to himself: "It turns out that Master Huiren has also been here. ”

Taihao slowly walked into the second floor, and on the plaque hanging in front of him, the four words "sword gall and qin heart" written were particularly eye-catching. The deep meaning contained in these four words made Taihao intoxicated and puzzled. He understands the meaning of these four words, undoubtedly describing a kind of talent who is both civil and military, and such a talent will undoubtedly make people admire.

Tai Hao's gaze wandered over the plaque, the familiar penmanship, the smooth handwriting, all gave him an inexplicable sense of intimacy. A question could not help but well-emerge in his puzzled heart: "Could it be that my master, the 'Sword God' Jiuqiu, has also been here before?" ”

Once this idea started, it was like wildfire burning a prairie fire, quickly spreading in Taihao's heart. He began to search his memories for everything about Master Jiuqiu, and those familiar and vague images swirled in his mind, as if to transport him into an unknown world. Taihao's heart began to beat, and a deep admiration and expectation intertwined in his heart.

Not to be too much of a figure, he steadily stepped up the stairs that led to the third floor. His steps were steady, as hard as a mountain, and every step was full of determination and perseverance.

When he reached the third floor, he looked up and saw the plaque hanging on this floor. There are still four words written on the plaque: Never forget. These four words seem to tell him a kind of persistence, a deep emotion in his heart. And below these four words, there are two big characters written in the place where the dragon flies and the phoenix dances: Chitian.

Although Taihao had never seen this knight, he had heard the name Chitian many times. That is the head of the famous "Seven Heroes of the Black and White Mountains" in the rivers and lakes, the knight who walks between the rivers and lakes with a pure heart. Tai Hao couldn't help but start to suspect that this ancient tower seemed to have a lot of origin, and there would be so many chivalrous inscriptions.

He took a deep breath and inhaled the cold air, as if to swallow up the fear and insecurity in his heart. Then, he stepped forward and continued up the staircase that led to the fourth floor. Every step is like walking on the memory of history, and every echo is like a sigh of history.

Finally, he made it to the fourth floor. On the plaque on this layer, there are four big characters written - "Liuding Siyuan". These four words were imprinted in his mind like a riddle, and he began to wonder, what did this mean? His eyes widened, trying to find a clue in every word, but the clue seemed to be fluttering in the wind, elusive.

The name of the payment made him stunned. That name is the Mihai hero who was killed by the halberd male at the foot of the mountain just now. He couldn't help but feel a wave of loss in his heart, as if he had lost something important. Mi Hai's death, after all, is inextricably linked to him. He closed his eyes, the familiar name echoing in his mind, like a curse. Mi Hai said that he and Yuan Shi had studied calligraphy together, so he could be regarded as his uncle, and the words he wrote were indeed vigorous and powerful, which was worthy of admiration. Taihao didn't have much time to sigh, he was going to see Coriander Zhi, so he hurriedly went up to the fifth floor.

On the fifth floor of the ancient tower, Taihao's gaze was once again fixed on the plaque in front of him. The four bright red handwritings jumped into the eye like a burning flame: miraculous power. These four words, like an intoxicating arrogant statement, openly show the extraordinary martial arts of its master, and seem to challenge all the chivalrous people in the world.

And the place where the payment was made was a name that Taihao was all too familiar with - Zhexiao. This philosopher is Taihao's eighth uncle, and at the same time, he is also the teacher of the "Four Great Demons" who are famous for their color change on the rivers and lakes. His inscription, which hangs here in such a grand manner, undoubtedly shows a kind of arrogance and self-confidence that is above the world.

Taihao looked at the plaque again, his heart full of doubts. He couldn't help but whisper to himself: "Even Uncle Zhexiao has been here, what is the secret of this ancient tower?" The words are full of curiosity and determination about the unknown.
