There was a moment of silence in the hall, Guan Qianyan Kong Lanting didn't speak for a while, only Zhang Jingbi looked at the ground fixedly, as if he didn't understand the meaning behind these words at all: "Kongtong disciples take ten years as a generation, and between the ages of ten and twenty, the disciples of Zhufeng are juxtaposed, and there are things to compare with art from time to time, and the first among the disciples in the middle is the contemporary sword head. ”

"After twenty, he dispersed to the council of the halls, Jiang Yitong is twenty-four years old this year, and he is the first in the previous generation, so he has to be the deacon of the Lotus Heart Pavilion in the past; Xi Tianji is twenty this year, and one year after Jiang Yitong left the throne, he has to be the first in this generation, and it has been three years since then. ”

Zhang Jingbi looked at Pei Li: "Both of them are Xiao Tingshu's disciples. For as long as I can remember, Yuan Wufeng has always been Xiao Tingshu's one-man leader, and his seat in the Lotus Heart Pavilion was also attended by him. My mother said that it was from the time when Uncle Ji lived in seclusion, and now the disciples of the younger generations of Kongtong really don't recognize him anymore. ”

"Jiang and Xi have colluded with Huan Death Building for at least seven years, and two generations of disciples have participated in it, and Xiao Tingshu is very obstructive." Pei Ye said softly, "This matter should be reported to Kongtong to know." ”

He looked at the people in the Law Enforcement Hall standing with swords in front of him: "Lao, who will go to the Lotus Heart Pavilion again?" Inform everyone that they need to be vigilant against Xiao Tingshu. ”

“.”

However, several of them were silent, and some even looked at each other.

In silence, Guan Qianyan said a little dryly: "Pei Shaoxia, since the head of the retreat ten years ago, Kongtong's affairs have all been decided by the [Lotus Heart Pavilion], and the Lotus Heart Pavilion is in the Lotus Heart Pavilion."

She hesitated, as if she didn't know how to speak.

Pei Ye said straightly: "Also headed by Xiao Tingshu?" ”

"Yuan Wu is the head of the peaks, Xiao Shibo is the disciple of the master uncle, and he is the head of the family, Kongtong has been in charge for all these years," Guan Qianyan lowered his head, "In fact, Xiao Shibo is in charge." ”

——

Kongtong stretches for hundreds of miles, among which the peaks are far away and loosely connected, which is not a new thing.

However, the reason why it can still become a centralized sect is that among the seventeen peaks, there are still five peaks clustered in the same center, ranking like the five fingers of a person, and it is expected to be four of them. That is, the so-called "middle five peaks" of the world, when the perspective is stretched extremely far and very high, the big peaks in the five clouds and mist are like five uniform lotus petals, although they are not shorter than the other peaks, but they are placed in a ring, which is constituting the center of Kongtong as a sect.

The area between the five peaks is extremely far away, and the central piece is placed for each hall, the Lotus Heart Pavilion, the Law Enforcement Hall, and even the Lotus Platform of the "Iron Pine Sword" are actually scattered in this area.

And in the center behind the halls, there is the mountain of the sword belly that Kongtong has gradually become famous in recent years, and it is said that "the sword is asked in the belly".

"Hanging Sky Curtain" falls from the highest cliff of Yuanwu Peak, flows to the "Lotus Heart", begins to wind around in the center, and scatters intricately, and finally gathers up, and the whole circle is this high and profound strange mountain.

This mountain is almost the description of the word "mountain", one high and two short are side by side, but because the tall one is straight, the short one is low and flat, it is also like a sword shape, and it is half empty in the middle, so it is named.

It's just that when it is an achievement that Kongtong Jianmen has devoted himself to in the past 20 years, the word "sword belly" has another direction.

That is the legendary sword realm forbidden place in the deepest core of the Kongtong Sword Gate.

The so-called "smell the sword as in its belly", legend has it that the swordsman can hear the whisper of the sword inside, and every inch of the air around him at that time is the breath of the sword, and the inspiration is endless, and the sword practice is twice the result with half the effort. There is even a chance to comprehend all the swordsmanship of the Seventeen Peaks of Kongtong in one fell swoop.

And even for Kongtong's disciples, this is an extremely rare holy place. There are only two people who have entered this generation, except for Xi Tianji, who is only eleven years old, Kong Lanting, according to the boy, living in it is indeed a thousand miles to enter the realm of the sword, but all kinds of groaning, the heart is like a collapse, and after only three days, he was recited with a pale face.

At this time, before the Sword Belly Mountain Pass, a clear long stream flowed through here, and the six people were slowly pacing over, and the five people of the [Lotus Heart Pavilion] were all here, and a simple white dress was surrounded in the middle.

"This water system. Like a formation? Ming Qitian looked at the stream that was scattered on the plain, and after it came out of the valley, it was coiled into a rather regular circle, complex and beautiful, and finally sharply closed on both sides of the mountain. Then a small circle is formed.

"Yes, yes." Xiao Tingshu stopped beside him, his sideburns Xiao Tuo, his black clothes were slightly old, a long sword was tied around his waist at will, and there were no other objects on his body, "This is the pedestal of the Sword Belly Mountain of the Gate-[Summoning Sword Chapter]." ”

"It's a heavenly work." The woman nodded earnestly.

"It is many Kongtong disciples who have created this sword belly mountain, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the condensation of Kongjian Gate." Xiao Tingshu looked at it from afar and sighed lightly, turned his head and smiled, "The sword master went in a hurry last time, but fortunately, the previous contract was renewed today." ”

"I can't help but yearn for it."

"Please come in." Xiao Tingshu turned around, Ming Qitian nodded, and several people entered from the mountain pass.

"If a person drinks water, he knows whether he is warm or cold." The man said, "[Sword Belly Mountain] does take a lot of effort, and it is quite ingenious, but it benefits from Kongtong. In fact, only a few disciples were promoted. ”

The sky was obscured, and the valley was shaded in autumn, Xiao Tingshu continued: "It's not so much that it helps Kongtong, but that Kongtong is supporting it with the power of the faction. So please take a look at the sword master, and hope to give advice. ”

"That's a big deal." Ming Qitian bowed slightly, and his expression was calm.

In fact, in the position of a woman, many subtleties are almost in front of you - after Tie Song discussed the sword, it was Ji Changyun who invited the sword master to go to the Sword Belly Mountain with a smile in front of everyone, but when he really came here, he didn't see the old man from the beginning.

In fact, after the sword fight, the old man had already left directly. The words of invitation seemed to be just a scene on behalf of Kongtong, and the old man didn't care at all whether the woman actually went to Jianbelly Mountain or not.

And as far as the traces seen along the way are concerned, Ming Qitian did not perceive Ji Changyun's sword path "smell" at all, and the sword realm that Kongtong was most interested in casting, on the contrary, had nothing to do with its most solid pillars.

However, the head Bai Tianqu is in retreat here.

However, women often just see everything and don't care, and at this time they only come to see the sword of Kongtong, compared to Ji Changyun's painstaking [Sword Sea Chapter], it is said that this is the place to see the "Kongtong Sword" at a glance.

The belly of the mountain is indeed half empty, its height and depth do not know how many mortals, just like the belly of a mythical beast, a few people walk on the long and narrow stone bridge that is erected high, as if walking on its backbone.

There is still a dark stream flowing in below, and the view is obstructed to see the whole picture, but in the meandering places, you can still see the subtlety and intricacy of the curved brush.

"Entering the mountain, it is the 'sword' part of the [Sword Summoning Chapter]." Guan Shutang was the only woman among the several people, and explained in harmony at this time.

"As soon as you enter this mountain, you will feel surrounded by a sense of sword." Ming Qitian looked up, "But it doesn't seem to be from this mountain?" ”

The sword lord has a good opinion. There are many swords in the Five Peaks Lotus Land, and their sword sense is gathered here by this array. ”

"The disciples often stop here, and they can't go any deeper." At this time, Xiao Tingshu in front of him passed the first "court gate", turned around and smiled, "Go further, the stronger the sense of the sword. If it is encased in it, we call it the 'belly of the sword'. ”

During the conversation, the group passed through the two "court gates" again and arrived at the heart of this high mountain.

In front of you is a canopy-like cliff.

The phrase "half-empty" has been most accurately explained here, and the mountain seems to have been cut off by a knife of heaven, half hollowed out, half cast.

In the center of the mountain is at the junction of the two sides, where a huge circular stone platform is cast, this half of which only exposes a semicircle, and the other half seems to be buried in it.

The entire cliff only opens a road to the inside on the stone platform.

"Hooking up the stone platform with Xuan Qi, and then playing a sword on it, is the real 'sword in the belly'." Xiao Tingshu said, "The [Sword Summoning Chapter] will hook up all the Kongtong swords it can cover, and ten thousand swords will sound in unison, and the 'Kongtong Sword' will be self-evident." ”

Ming Qitian walked up, the huge stone platform under his feet was polished and smooth, and a small [Calling Sword Chapter] formation was also engraved on it, and the pattern in the small circle was the Kongtong Sword Talisman.

This is indeed a delicate design, the woman did not hesitate, the autumn water long blade out of the sheath, Xuan Qi and the [Summoning Sword Chapter] completed the hook.

A light sword is the most basic "Sword on the Third Floor" of Kongtong, which seems to be passed down by an immortal in the hands of a woman at this time.

The sound of the sword call flowed out in an instant.

Rising from the stone platform, it spreads across the entire Jianbelly Mountain, and then along the vast mountains and rivers of the Changxi River, which is gently lit up by this sword.

The next moment is a tidal wave of feedback coming back at the same time.

I don't know how many swords resonate as one, and through this strange vibration, Ming Qitian felt as if the sword in his hand had become the same entity as them. However, the movements of these swords are by no means uniform, they are "White Rainbow Chapter", they are "Fengshan Ming", they are "Songwu Sword Song". In this connection, the Sword of the Seventeen Peaks really collided with the perception of the same swordsman at the same moment.

The woman really opened her eyes slightly at this moment.

If the scattered and different Seventeen Peaks really have a condensation that can be called the "Kongtong Sword", then it can indeed only be this moment presented by this genius-like strange means.

She stopped her sword and didn't really appreciate the precious truth.

At this time, the woman clearly understood the purpose of the trip, and also understood why Ji Changyun did not participate and did not want to come here.

They are two paths that go in complete contradiction to each other.

"Why did the sword master say this to call the chapter of the sword?" In the silence, Xiao Tingshu asked softly.

Ming Qitian looked at the sky-like cliff in front of her, even if she had come here, what she saw still seemed to be only on the surface.

For example, the sword just now didn't seem to wake up the formation formed by the stream in the mountain belly of the sword, and the sword that resonated with it was a little less than she imagined; For example, everything you saw when you first came here is definitely not enough to support the wonderful experience just now, the sword summoning array formed by this mountain and water is indeed the "pedestal", but the real secret of this sword realm should be on that sword, it should be behind this cliff, on the back of this secluded mountain, but in any case, that experience is real.

No matter who she offended, the woman would not lie, she nodded and said softly, "Good." ”

- "No, I can't. ”

- "Good. ”

Xiao Tingshu, who got the answer, was silent for a while, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Does the sword master want to continue to look deeper?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone reacted differently. But there was no need for them to think about speaking, and the next moment when the words fell, the Lotus Heart Pavilion suddenly heard a flute of alarm.

The only one who carried Pei was Ying Gao, the master of Yuanyun Peak, who had a cold personality and had no expression along the way, but at this time, he raised Peizi to his ear and listened for a while, his face was scratched, and his brows were deeply furrowed.

After a while, the person put down his Peizi, met the looking gaze and said solemnly: "News from the Law Enforcement Hall, the bloody matter of the back cliff." Caiwu Peak Zhang Jingbi, Diecui Peak Guan Qianyan, Guangcheng Peak Kong Lanting were injured, Xianqiao Peak Mo Chang, Yuan Wufeng Xi Tianji, and Jiang Yitong died. Please come back to deal with it urgently. ”

“.”

Xiao Tingshu slowly turned his head and looked at him without saying a word.

There was silence.
