Chapter 16: The Underground Sword Shrine

Yellow doors and red walls, high beam corridors, and after a while, there were two little eunuchs who stepped on broken steps in a regular manner, and then disappeared after a while.

"The palace is full of these eunuchs, junior sister, follow me, you also follow me, don't look around and don't talk too much. ”

He Xiao walked in front, and Nan Huaijin came with Zhu Qiu and Yu Changfeng with her, these two people have always wanted to come to see the imperial city.

The paving in this imperial city is all smooth stone bricks, and He Xiao is still talking to Nan Huaijin as he walks.

"It is said that it is a suspicious case, it is indeed a suspicious case, when Emperor Taizu established the capital in Bianliang, the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, at the beginning of this Bianliang City, there was no such scenery in Bianliang City, and the city was not stable, and although Chang'an Luoyang fought chaotically for many years, it was in tatters, but after all, it was a place where dragon veins converged, how can this be said, Taizu should not be in this Bianjing City, right?"

He Xiao said, his voice was not loud, and it would not spread too far.

Nan Huaijin looked curious and said, "Could it be that this has something to do with what Senior Brother said, the sword mound?"

He Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, Emperor Taizu learned the news of the sword mound, so he chose to establish the capital at the location of the sword mound, and placed the imperial city on this sword mound. ”

Nan Huaijin pondered, and the bamboo on the side asked, "What kind of sword mound is it?"

He Xiao sneered: "What kind of sword? This can be compared to the sword of the dragon vein, apart from the top ten swords listed on the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, what other sword is there?"

"Hundred Treasure Pavilion?" Nan Huaijin asked.

"Hundred Treasure Pavilion, also called Thousand Treasure Pavilion, in the past, when the pavilion was opened, more than 100 sword gods and weapons were listed, and the material craftsmen and the value of the silver money were listed, and there were already at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and it has been hundreds of years now, and there are more and more treasures on display in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, and it has become a Thousand Treasure Pavilion. Wu Changfeng said on the side, he was in Bianjing, so he naturally knew Baibao Pavilion.

He Xiao said: "The reason why the Hundred Treasures Pavilion is still called the Hundred Treasures Pavilion is that the treasures within the hundreds, the listed prices are much higher than the treasures outside the hundreds, but it is the last treasure within the hundreds, and the current price is enough to cost tens of thousands of gold." ”

"So expensive?" Nan Huaijin was surprised, 10,000 gold is 100,000 taels of silver, 100,000 yuan! This amount of money is enough to buy a mansion in Bianjing City, and then it is not a problem to buy some ordinary properties.

"The higher the treasure on the list, the more valuable it must be, and the top 50 is no longer counted in gold and silver. Yu Changfeng said.

Zhu Qiu also nodded and said: "When I was in Qingyun Mountain, I often heard the senior brothers talk about the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, and they all said that the Hundred Treasure Pavilion has hundreds of treasures, and the seventh treasure on the list is also in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion. ”

He Xiao nodded, thought for a while and said, "The Ming Hong Sword, which is seventh on the list, is indeed in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, but except for the Pavilion Master of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, no one knows where it is hidden. ”

Listening to them, Nan Huaijin was just surprised, she knew that some martial arts and treasures on Qingyun Mountain were priceless, but she really didn't know some treasures in the world, of course, some martial arts cheats were reasonable to sell at sky-high prices.

"So, the treasure in this sword mound is a mystery?"

He Xiao only nodded when he saw Nan Huaijin asking, and stopped talking, this is already a deserted palace, which has long been overgrown with weeds, and green vines have grown in many places, and some flowers have bloomed, covering one side of the wall.

He Xiao looked around, this is already the corner of the imperial city, even the palace maids and eunuchs will not come to this place at will, he beckoned, and the two young generals stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The door was soon knocked open, and there was no one inside, except for a few kittens at the dilapidated palace gate, and when they saw someone knocking on the door, they ran away.

He Xiao took a step ahead, Nan Huaijin looked inside, and also followed, Zhu Qiu and Changfeng and a group of young generals of the Imperial City Division also hurriedly entered.

There are rockeries and flowing water in it, but it is barren and no one takes care of it, and the wild grass in one place grows to half a human height.

The rockery stood in the flowing water, and as He Xiao walked, Nan Huai Jin finally saw the so-called sword mound.

A big pit was thrown out on the ground, and the mound soil of one side was scattered in the center of the rockery, and a big hole was thrown out, and the hole mouth was ten zhang square.

"Here we are. He Xiao said, he looked at this loess mound, and he was not surprised, how many years had he been in the imperial city, he had long known the location of this sword mound, and he had gone down several times.

"This is the sword mound hidden in the imperial city?" Nan Huaijin looked inside for a while, and the chill that came out of it made people feel that it was a real tomb, which contained dead corpses, lying on the long stone table, motionless, covered with a thick corpse stench and dead gas.

He Xiao walked in front, he jumped down the deep hole of the sword mound, and Nan Huaijin and others in the back of him also jumped down, leaving some people from the Imperial City Division to watch the entrance of the outside world.

The deep cave was cut off from the beams, and all the sunlight was blocked by the thick soil, and nothing could be seen except the outline of an object within a radius of two or three feet.

"Senior sister. ”

Nan Huaijin was grabbed by someone's hand, and she couldn't see anyone, it was He Xiao who was calling her, her hand was tightly grasped by him, she was slightly stunned, and suddenly the surroundings lit up, one by one, two places, three places, one torch after another was lit in the hands of the young general of the Imperial City Division, and the surroundings could be seen clearly.

He Xiao grabbed her wrist and looked around, Nan Huaijin also looked over, a huge painted mural was carved on the rock wall of the cave, which was ten zhang wide and high, occupying the entire cave wall.

On the mural, a Changge cave pierces the sky and the ground, hanging in the air in one place, there are thousands of people worshipping around, leading cattle and sheep, pulling bronze vessels, and gold ceremonial vessels, this is not a human cast divine weapon, but a natural artifact!

"The painting says ......"

Zhu Qiu looked at the mural in surprise, the sky painted in the mural was blood-red, and the homeless people below looked at it, all of which were rendered in blood.

He Xiao frowned and said: "These paintings should not be seen more, they are easy to dementor, the higher the skill, the lower the state of mind, the deeper the backlash, a few of you, follow me." ”

Everyone nodded, this painting looked very evil, and several young generals of the Imperial City Division hurriedly raised torches to follow their adults.

This underground world is surprisingly large, and the traces of knives and axes on the surrounding rock walls are very neat, and there are shovel marks one by one, which is obviously not a simple matter.

"Taizu set up an inconspicuous division in the imperial capital, called Chengping Division, specifically responsible for the sword mound, there is a capable man in the Si Tianjian, called, calculated the star vein, dragon vein and Tianzhou, the four directions and five elements gossip He calculated half a life, finally calculated the place, and told Emperor Taizu. ”

"Emperor Taizu learned the news of the sword mound, and set up the Chengping Division to excavate the sword mound, the reason why this nameless sword mound is nameless, is that the treasure inside is not cast by man, but made in heaven, after the surface is opened, there is actually a deep hole inside, His Majesty Taizu was pleasantly surprised, and ordered the Chengping Division to dig deep in the hole, so that they have to dig out the treasure within half a year, and after half a year, this Chengping Division under the guidance of the Si Tianjian Talent, really found a peerless divine weapon made in heaven. ”

"Senior brother, is this the cave you are talking about?" asked Nan Huaijin.

He Xiao nodded and said: "The cave wall we jumped on, the murals there are all originally there, His Majesty Taizu feels that the artistic conception of that painting is too evil, many soldiers of the Chengping Division have lost their minds after seeing it, and the white mad demon died in this place, so His Majesty Taizu wants to dig up the cave wall." ”

Nan Huaijin thought about it and looked behind her, the mural was still looming in the firelight, although she didn't feel very comfortable, but she didn't feel anything wrong, and said: "Since this mural is still here, it must be the emperor who retracted his idea." ”

He Xiao shook his head and said no, "How can he be an ordinary person if he can sit on the throne of God?

The mural had already disappeared into the darkness, and there was still some light around it, Nan Huaijin's hand was grabbed by He Xiao, and he continued to walk slowly.

"This kind of place is very evil, don't look at it too much, you just follow the senior brother. He Xiao said, looking down at her, the orange fire shone on the face of this beauty, although there was a beaded veil blocking half of the face, it was still incredibly beautiful.

I didn't have time to think about it, I don't know if it was the evil nature of the cave paintings, or if she was really so beautiful and surprisingly attractive, He Xiao only felt that he couldn't move for at least a moment, the beads on his face shook, and the beauty turned her head to look at the front of the cave.

Zhu Qiu said: "There are dead people here!"

Everyone looked, indeed, on one side of the road, there were all skeletons and dead people, some of them had obviously been stored for many years, the skin and flesh were gone, the white skeletons were spread all over the ground, and the armor of the Imperial Capital Forbidden Army was still on their bodies.

He Xiao still explained to the people of Qingyun Mountain: "This is the original Chengtiansi people, along the way, there are more than 300 people who died in it, you can see the mural without hindrance, which shows that your martial arts heart is really good, otherwise, if you think wildly, you will fall into the devil and die of madness in less than half an hour." ”

Zhu Qiu frowned slightly and said, "You know there is a problem with this mural, and you still let us see it?"

"You are just some outer disciples, dead or alive, what do you have to do with me?" He Xiao held his hands behind his back, led Nan Huaijin to walk, and replied with a sneer.

Yu Changfeng and Zhu Qiu on the side glanced at each other, and could only frown and follow them, but they both secretly probed themselves, and once there was a problem, they would immediately withdraw and run out of the outside world.

Yu Changfeng said faintly angrily: "Don't forget, you and your junior sister have also seen it, so you don't worry?"

Nan Huaijin nodded, and she said, "I did watch it, but it wasn't uncomfortable." ”

He Xiao looked down at her: "Under this world, thousands of years, how many people have such talent as you? There are only thirteen people who have been recorded in the Heavenly Absolute Vein since ancient times, and there are only fourteen people with you, you must know that there are tens of thousands of people in this world, counting the arrogant sword hero Yu Jian, just you and him, these are the basis of this evil painting that cannot shake your martial arts heart mirror." ”

"The Heavenly Absolute Pulse is undisputed to be the first in the three veins, this evil painting, hum. He Xiao smiled, very quietly, only Nan Huaijin heard clearly, Nan Huaijin was stunned, didn't say anything and continued to walk, as if he had thought of something, suddenly turned his head to look behind him, frowning.

"What's wrong, sir?" a few youngsters stopped with him.

Nan Huaijin also looked behind him and said, "A master has come in, it's really fast, it's already very close." ”

He Xiao nodded and said, "It's true that someone is here, and it's still a big master, junior sister, stay by my side." ”

"Hmm. Nan Huaijin nodded, looked at Zhu Qiu and Changfeng, and the two of them pulled out their swords and blocked them in front of Nan Huaijin.

There were no footsteps at all, only a gust of wind, and the comers couldn't even see the shadows of people, only the laughter of Lang was getting closer and clearer.

"Lord He, what's the matter, come to investigate the matter of this sword mound, and don't send anyone to inform me?" the voice of the visitor was clear, echoing in the corridor.

The red robe appeared in the firelight first, a big red official body was worn casually, wearing a gold mask, Li Chun was still holding a military book in his hand, and his eyes did not leave the military book, as if he could read the words on the book clearly in the dark passage just now.

He Xiao smiled and said: "It turned out to be Lord Li, I didn't come to see this sword mound with my junior sister first, I felt that there was no need to bother Lord Li, so I didn't call someone to invite Lord Li, but I didn't expect that Lord Li came by himself." ”

While speaking, He Xiao looked at his few young generals, with a thin light in his eyes, and thought carefully.

Li Chun also said with a smile: "The sword mound is related to my Great Song Dynasty national fortune, Emperor Taizu gave up the three dragon veins in Chang'an Taiyuan and Longxi, and stayed in this small feudal capital, it turns out that there is such a treasure hidden in this underground, hehe, the Liao people will offend my Great Song Dynasty again, and the magic weapon in this sword mound will definitely come in handy, and then it will be like in the painting, the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, nourishing the artifact made that day." ”

He Xiao frowned, turned his head sideways and whispered to Nan Huaijin: "This person's name is Li Chun, and he is also a heavenly vein, you and I are careful, this person is probably here for the divine soldiers, if there is really one, give it to him, protect yourself." ”

Nan Huaijin also looked at this Li Chun secretly, she probed for a while, and could only feel that Li Chun's body was magnificent, an inexplicable feeling, that is, it was solid and heavy.

This Li Chun's skill is unfathomable, Nan Huaijin feels that even the senior brother and the second senior brother in the sect may not have his skills, and it is no wonder that the eighth senior brother in the top three of the master sect in the rumored martial arts function row is also very nervous.
