Outside Xuanliu Town, one person and one rider arrived.

Immediately came down a person, his face was as white as jade, his face was handsome, his eyes were like stars, and his lips were like blood, what a handsome young man.

He was wearing a light gray shirt, and he should have been wearing light armor inside, propping up his clothes.

Although he was a handsome young man, his star-like eyes contained an eternal sorrow.

The young man carried three scabbards behind his back, but only two of them had swords in them.

He had come to find his third sword.

After entering Xuanliu Town, he first stopped in place, silently looked around, and finally walked towards the north.

A quarter of an hour later, he was still heading north, his steps steady.

Liu Xin counted his steps carefully, until after 1,280 steps, he finally saw a faint light appear in front of him.

At the end of the tunnel, there is a stone gate that opens upwards, the stone gate is very heavy, but it is not a problem for the martial artists of the Dacheng Realm.

Opening the stone door, Liu Xin left the tunnel.

What catches your eye is the interior of a building.

Liu Xin looked at it and felt that the furnishings here seemed to be a military camp, and it was also the military camp of the chief general in the army.

Because in the middle position, a huge sand table is placed, but this sand table is already covered with dust.

However, because it is sealed, most of the furnishings can still be seen in their original appearance except for dust.

The armory rack had become a pile of rotten wood, and only a few rusty pieces of iron were buried in the dust, and the original form could be seen, all of which were swords.

Liu Xin briefly checked inside and found that most of the things had rotted and fell apart when touched.

In the end, Liu Xin's eyes fell on the giant sand table in the middle.

Carefully brushing away the dust on it, the true appearance of the sand table was revealed, and Liu Xin suddenly stayed in place.

Liu Xin was very familiar with a certain area of this sand table, and it was the terrain when he was experimenting to test his forward direction.

At that time, in order to pay attention to when he changed directions, Liu Xin wrote down all the landforms in that area.

Now it is confirmed with the sand table, which is eighty percent similar, and Liu Xin can also be sure that this sand table corresponds to Xuanliu Town.

Standing on a high place and looking at this sand table comprehensively, Liu Xin's eyes were full of shock.

Because Xuanliu Town is not an ordinary border guard town at all.

but

A big array!

The whole picture of Xuanliu Town is a large array with an outer circle and an inner square.

And the part of the landscape he noticed before turned out to be an arc, but when he walked, he clearly felt that he was walking in a straight line.

Because all the routes are clockwise, the final direction will turn east.

In fact, it's not that there is any strange evil power in Xuanliu Town, but that this is a big array, and it is a trapped array.

Liu Xin's attention was completely focused on this sand table, and time passed little by little.

Until Liu Xin completely wrote down the sand table, half an hour had passed.

Liu Xin suddenly turned around and looked at the stone door that had opened when he left the tunnel.

The stone gate was still quiet, no different from when he came, but Liu Xin's heart was a little cold.

Rivers and lakes, heh!

Liu Xin turned around and no longer paid attention to the tunnel, this sand table can be here, which means that this place must be the center of Xuanliu Town.

He was about to leave, when he heard footsteps outside.

Then the next moment, the sound of the stone being moved was heard, and the sword light flickered at the gate, and the next moment the stone fell, and the dazzling sunlight poured in.

"Huh?"

A man's voice came, Liu Xin squinted, and through the bright light, he saw a young man with a sword on his back.

Liu Xin was immediately stunned on the spot, because he was very familiar with this person.

The man, dressed in a gray and white robe, jumped down and patted the dust off his body.

His appearance is very handsome, with red lips and white teeth, and a dignified appearance, which can be compared with him Liu Xin.

"Are you a contestant in the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition, did you find the authentic and come in here?

You're in luck! ”

The man said to himself, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but soon he stopped paying attention to Liu Xin, but came to the sand table and said to himself:

"The master asked me to find the sand table first, it's really hard to find.

Let me see where the Heavenly Sword is..."

Heavenly Sword!

Liu Xin came back to his senses in an instant, and while opening the attribute panel, he muttered to himself in his heart:

"It's been a long time, Senior Brother of the Liutian Sect, Jiang Chong!"

[Name: Jiang Chong.]

Evaluation: Wu Guogong Zhu Guangxiao's personal disciple has been hidden in the snow, and the picture is very big. In order to avenge his family, he tried his courage by lying on his salary. 】

Zhu Guangxiao!

He turned out to be Zhu Guangxiao's personal disciple, and he had a big plan, what does this mean.

Could it be that Wu Guogong turned out to be a villain.

Jiang Chong's family feud, does it refer to Kun Lizong or Emperor Wu City?

For a while, a lot of thoughts flashed through Liu Xin's mind.

And Jiang Chong had already found the position he was looking for at this moment, looked up at Liu Xin, and couldn't help but feel funny when he saw the other party's pensive look.

What's wrong with this kid, why did he suddenly fall into deep thought.

Did my appearance scare him too suddenly?

"Boy, I'm not participating in the Zhengyang martial arts competition, I'm just here to get one thing, and it won't affect your competition!"

Liu Xin came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Chong, his eyes full of complexity.

Jiang Chong's eyes had a hint of melancholy, but there was a faint smile on his face.

"Alright, get out of here, it's just a ruin, nothing good.

Complete your mission as soon as possible and get out of here! ”

With that, Jiang Chong turned around and left, jumped up under the entrance of the cave, and left from the entrance.

It wasn't until Jiang Chong left that the complicated color in Liu Xin's eyes gradually faded.

He didn't expect that he would be able to meet Jiang Chong again.

The other party obviously didn't recognize him, he was just a teenager at the beginning.

Master, Heavenly Sword.

It seems that Wu Guogong asked him to take the Tiansha Sword, whether the Tiansha Sword is the ultimate weapon of Situ Liu, the number one general of the Wuyang Emperor.

That's a direct hint from the properties panel, and it's definitely not ordinary.

And the hint in the properties panel is to let yourself explore this place, and I don't know if I have completed the hint.

But where is the low-allocation system reward?

Liu Xin faintly felt that he had not achieved the purpose of exploration, so he turned his head to look at the sand table.

He had seen all the other places in the tent in general, and there was nothing special about it, only this sand table, which he had not carefully inspected.

Liu Xin came to the sand table, and just touched the sand table with his hand, the sand table could not support it and collapsed.

Before suffering external forces, the sand table could still withstand it, but in fact, it had already decayed on the inside, and it would collapse at the first touch.

Seeing the sand table turn into a real plate of loose sand, Liu Xin was a little speechless.

However, when he saw that the sand table was scattered, there seemed to be something different in it.

Liu Xin waited for the smoke and dust to clear, and without him looking for it, a brown paper scroll was exposed.

He reached out and carefully pulled out the vellum scroll.

Although it is cowhide, it may not be very tough after such a long time.

Cautiously opening it, Liu Xin saw the vaguely recognizable text on it.

Because of Jiang Chong, a big hole was opened, and the sunlight sprinkled at the entrance of the cave made this place a lot brighter.

Liu Xin looked at it carefully, he had been reading the Holy Sect's case library since he was a child, because he thought that the best way to understand this world was what was recorded in the books.

Generally, no one will scribble with the purpose of fooling future generations.

Therefore, people can often find truth and facts in books.

Even some emperors, in order to praise their own merits, exaggerated and wrote historical records.

But there is always someone who will record the real situation.

Just like the brown paper scroll in Liu's novice at this time, the content recorded in it can be said to be told to Huangfu Rongjiang,

Totally contradictory!

This cowhide should have been written by Situ Liu, the number one general of the Wuyang Emperor.

Situ Liu is also the origin and founder of Sima in the army.

As the first Sima in the army, although he was not the first brave general at that time, his martial arts combat power was not the strongest one.

But right, he is definitely the biggest one.

Emperor Wuyang was only a vassal king at that time, and the largest in the army was Emperor Wuyang, who was personally in command.

With the conquest of the Northern Barbarians, he continued to regain the land.

The Northern Barbarian Heavenly Kingdom abandoned the city of Nanjing, and half of the vassal kings broke out in the city for the sake of the old capital city of Nanjing.

Directly caused the kings to lose a small half of their combat power.

The Northern Barbarian Heavenly Kingdom also tried to fight back.

At this time, Emperor Wuyang took over the remnants of those stupid vassal kings who killed each other, and directly abandoned the city of Nanjing, becoming the strongest among the kings.

Because of the complexity of the army, especially the old departments of those feudal kings, they all have grudges against each other.

Therefore, for a time, the army of Emperor Wuyang was in chaos.

At this time, Situ Liu stood up, took over the power of military law, established a military law department, and used strict military law to control the army.

Of course, the effect was good, and the military discipline of Emperor Wuyang's 150,000 military horses at that time was even better than that of other vassal kings' 20,000 or 30,000 troops.

However, under the strict military discipline, it also brings hidden dangers.

Of course, this hidden danger is not for Emperor Wuyang, but for Situ Liu.

In the army, it can be said that except for Emperor Wuyang, everyone hates Situ Liu.

Because the military law formulated by Situ Liu was too strict, and except for Emperor Wuyang, there was no punishment.

In the final battle, Emperor Wuyang's army was the strongest, but it was the slowest mobile.

In order to be the first to enter the imperial capital city and seize the throne, Emperor Wuyang came up with a way.

That was to order the three armies, as long as the army could be the first to attack the imperial capital, he would order Situ Liu and his military justice department to be killed.

Unexpectedly, the army all agreed, but only made a request, Situ Liu must die first.

Only when Situ Liu and his military justice department are gone, can they dare to enter the city to carnival, dare to do something, and have the motivation to enter the imperial capital city before everyone else.

Otherwise, even if you invade the city, you will only watch people eat meat.

Emperor Wuyang knew that this was the last battle, for his own plan, for the sake of the army's heart.

He sent Situ Liu and his Judge Advocate General's Office, as well as a part of the army he wanted to get rid of, and ordered them to attack Xuanliu Town.

Because Xuanliu Town is the last line of defense under the Northern Barbarian State Master Manchengkebu.

In fact, it is not a line of defense, but it is just a suspicious array and a so-called Xuanliu big array.

It is said that it is a combination of the formation master Xuan Tongzi and Liu Wu's formation.

The national teacher claimed that no one in the Central Plains could break this formation, and tried to save the last shred of luck in the Northern Barbarian Heavenly Kingdom in this way.

It's a pity that the national teacher Man Chengke has studied the culture of the Central Plains people for decades, and thinks that he has discovered the essence of the Central Plains people's love of face, but he only understands the skin at all.

None of the vassal kings were looking at this so-called Xuanliu Great Array.

Everyone rushed to the imperial capital.

Just when the national teacher Man Chengke thought that no one would pay attention, Situ Liu came to the outside of the Xuanliu Great Array with eight thousand people.

The fateful battle between Man Chengke and Situ Liu officially began.

The time recorded on the brown paper scroll was even ten years after Emperor Wuyang captured the imperial capital.

That is to say, in this Xuanliu Great Array, the battle between Situ Liu and Man Chengke lasted for more than ten days.

And everyone else is busy at this time. Fight for your rights.

Emperor Wuyang may also be secretly rejoicing in his ascension to the supreme throne.

Everyone forgot that there were still people fighting there seventy miles outside the city.

Eventually, everyone was left here forever.

The black powder was buried by the Northern Barbarian Division, which was originally intended to pull a strong army for burial.

I didn't expect to bury myself in the end.

Before his death, Situ Liu left behind this brown paper scroll at the end.

And this was the last place he attacked. The Northern Barbarian Division has fled.

On the occasion of his final victory, Situ Liu was sent to heaven by black powder.

And the Northern Barbarian Master left a letter for Situ Liu.

Only then did Situ Liu know that his life was short, and he left this brown paper roll.

When Liu Xin saw this, he couldn't help but feel a sadness in his heart.

None of these emperors are anything good.

However, the military law organization of Sima in the army seems to have continued.

And every Sima is an existence that is hated by people in the army.

If you remember correctly, Huangfu Rongjiang's family is one of the families that are rich in Sima in the army.

Learned the truth about an incident more than a hundred years ago.

Liu Xin felt heavy in his heart.

At this moment, the properties panel was uncontrollable and opened in front of him.

[Congratulations on completing your exploration: Heavenly Sword Event 1/3.]

Congratulations on receiving the low-configuration system reward*1

Note: There are three branches in the Heavenly Sword Event, and you can get system rewards by completing the exploration of the three branches*1.

【System reward distribution ......】

Click!

Just when Liu Xin was still understanding what was written on the properties panel.

There was a sudden crunch above his head.

Liu Xin's figure retreated sharply and left the place.

Boom!

After a heavy smashing sound, smoke and dust suddenly filled the air.

Under the sunlight, these smoke and dust are like tiny points of light, floating in this small space.

This scene is a bit dazzling.

But Liu Xin is not in the mood to appreciate this.

His eyes remained motionless and fixed on the very center of the smoke.

A wooden box fell there.

Liu Xin looked up and found that there was a small boxy hole at the top of the tent.

The hole was very deep, and the size of the wooden box that fell down was exactly the size of the hole.

Originally, Liu Xin didn't notice the top of his head.

When the smoke and dust gradually cleared, Liu Xin came to the wooden box.

After more than 100 years of destruction, the wooden box turned out to be intact.

Even if it fell, there was only a slight crack.

"Goldtooth Ironwood!"

Liu Xin found this wood from this wood grain.

It is an extremely precious wood.

Its greatest function is to be strong.

Water immersion for a hundred years without rotting, wind for a hundred years without cracking.

It does not burn in case of fire, and can avoid water and fire.

In short, although this kind of thing is precious, it is generally used as a coffin......

Of course, Liu Xin would not think that this small wooden box contained a corpse.

Although it is claimed that it will not rot for a hundred years, after all, after all such a long time, this wood has still become a little brittle.

Liu Xin easily inserted it through the gap with the Dao Breaking Sword.

As soon as the sword light was raised, the wooden box was opened.

Although Liu Xin didn't think that such a small wooden box would store an exquisite weapon inside.

But after all, there are still some small expectations in my heart, but when the wooden box is really opened, Liu Xin will inevitably have some small disappointments.

Inside turned out to be another brown paper roll.

However, this brown paper roll was noticeably better preserved than the previous one.

There's even a hint of elasticity and a dewy sheen.

Liu Xin opened it and looked at it, and suddenly there was a look of shock.

This turned out to be a diagram of the Xuanliu Great Array.

It's not that Liu Xin knows the words on this brown paper.

Rather, the vellum depicts a pattern that looks exactly like a miniature scene on a sand table.

And the text on this is the Northern Barbarian language.

Maybe this thing was left by the Northern Barbarian Master.

It's just that Situ Liu may not have discovered this thing at the beginning.

Otherwise, it may be hidden in the sandbox.

Liu Xin looked at this brown paper scroll carefully, which was very detailed and passed through the previous sand table. After the comparison, Liu Xin quickly found the crack of this formation.

In fact, this large array is very simple, and many of them are some tricks.

The Xuanliu Great Array is not a large array for killing the enemy, but a large array for trapping the enemy.

The original plan of the Northern Barbarian Division was to trap as many troops as possible here, and finally use black powder to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

But thinking of this, Liu Xin suddenly had a question in his mind.

Where did the original Northern Barbarian Heavenly Kingdom get so much black powder?

Even now, there is not much black powder in Zhengyang Kingdom.

The main reason is that raw materials are difficult to find.

Mining is difficult and dangerous.

The most important thing is that the recipe for configuring black powder is missing some of the most critical places.

As a result, now Zhengyang Kingdom wants to configure black powder. You need a little luck in it.

If you happen to it, you'll be able to configure it successfully.

If you don't happen to it, it may explode on the spot or the black powder you prepare has no effect.
