"Don't say any more, I don't believe any of them. Hua Qingyu shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Tianxiao is kind-hearted, auspicious and natural, and he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune." If even we doubt him, how sad he should be when he knows? What is the purpose of our hard work to find him?

"Hmm!" Zhu Xiaomin responded, Tianyao also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Hua Qingyu and nodded vigorously. The trio of Edgeworth rose into the air and flew south.

The closest state city to Jianzhou is Suizhou. After resting for the night in the Xueqing Inn, the three of them prepared to go out on the street. I asked the shopkeeper and learned that the most lively street in Suizhou was Chengxi Street.

Surprisingly, there are not many shops and stalls on Chengxi Street, except for a few teahouses on the south side and a few open-air theaters on the north side of the street. After a cursory glance, in addition to singing, there are also jugglers, showing fists and feet, and each stage is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. It seems that this is a place for the residents of the city to entertain, no wonder it is so lively.

The three of them also followed the pedestrians into the crowded street. The first stage is a troupe singing "A Thousand Miles to Find a Doctor", which tells the story of a filial son carrying a seriously ill old mother on his back and working tirelessly to seek medical treatment everywhere. The three of them were not very interested in opera, and the cymbals, cymbals, gongs, and bells of the opera troupe rang at the same time, and the qin, se, ruan, and zheng sounded in unison, which was a little noisy, so they did not stop and continued to walk forward.

On the second stage, a team of running rivers and lakes is performing a battle between men and women, the male is playing heavy weapons such as the glaive knife, the overlord gun, the waterfall boring, and the Fang Tian halberd, while the female dancer is the phoenix whip, meteor hammer, Qi Mei stick, autumn leaf lance and other very ornamental weapons. The two sides came and went, and the "ping pong" game was quite lively, attracting bursts of applause from the onlookers.

On the third stage, juggling was performed, with gongs and drums and loud voices.

Block 4 & 5...... Every stage is noisy and lively, interpreting the prosperity of this state city.

The last stage is a little further away from the previous ones, at the end of the street. Since the city gate is turned out at this end of West Street, most visitors turn back when they walk here, and it is much quieter than the street. There are rows of benches in front of the stage, and on the opposite side is a three-storey teahouse, which was covered by the teahouse, and a storyteller was invited to have some fun for the tea guests.

Listening to the content, the storyteller is telling a story about the battle between immortals and demons. There are many such stories that circulate among the people, and they vary from place to place, but in the final analysis, they tell the greatness of the sword fairy and the fierceness of the great war. In the period when the battle with the monster is about to be fought, such stories are more popular than ever. In the hearts of ordinary people, immortal cultivators represent omnipotence, and with the masters of the seven major sects, the demon beast group is nothing at all. Although the immortal cultivators gave up the three counties in the western part of the Qinglong Continent more than ten years ago, the kings of the three counties all declared that this was purely to protect the people of Limin, and sure enough, after retreating, the momentum of the demon beasts advancing eastward stopped, and the immortal cultivators of all walks of life also appeared one after another. Therefore, the majority of the people are still optimistic about the decisive battle in a few years. It's a pity that they don't know how powerful the dragons are.

"Thinking of that Chenguang Sword Immortal, listening to the name, it should be the owner of the Seven Star Immortal Sword. The Big Dipper, night after night. You say, who else can the Seven Star Sword give if you don't give it to Chenguang Sword Immortal?

It is said that that night, Chenguang Sword Immortal was meditating on the mountain. Suddenly, my heart moved, I opened my eyes, looked up at the sky, and pinched my fingers: 'Tonight the moon is dark and the wind is high, but the seven stars shine, there will be strangeness. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw the seven stars of the Big Dipper flash several times, and a meteor burst out from each of the seven stars, also in the shape of a bucket, crossing the sky, roaring, and finally falling into the valley. ”

Seeing that the storyteller was talking interestingly, Zhu Xiaomin grabbed Tianyao and Hua Qingyu and continued to listen.

The Chenguang Sword Immortal immediately flew towards the place where the Seven Stars fell. When I reached the bottom of the valley, I found a strange fairy sword stuck in the ground from afar.

The fairy sword emitted a purple-red light, the sword body trembled slightly, and the sound of 'buzzing' swords was endless. The Chenguang Sword Immortal stepped forward quickly and pulled out the fairy sword, but saw that there were seven dazzling white spots on the sword, which happened to be the shape of the Big Dipper. The Chenguang Sword Immortal was overjoyed, so he named the fairy sword Seven Stars. This is the origin of the Seven Star Sword. ”

The storyteller's expressions and movements were a little exaggerated, but the audience listened with great interest.

"So, the Seven Star Sword fell from the sky?" said the audience.

Mr. Storyteller narrowed his eyes and touched his beard, as if pretending to be deep: "Eighteen peerless immortal swords suddenly appeared when my Qinglong Continent was in danger, this is a very strange thing. Who was the person who forged the Immortal Sword, and what kind of materials were used? No one knew for so many years. Combined with the long-standing folk stories, I believe that the eighteen fairy swords are all born naturally from heaven and earth. The Seven Star Sword must be a peerless treasure that fell from the Big Dipper. ”

"Tsk, why can't I meet such a good thing?" this sentence caused many people to laugh.

"It's not pie in the sky...... Peerless fairy swords are spiritual, and they will also choose their own masters. If you also cultivate into an outstanding sword immortal, maybe you will have such an opportunity. The storyteller laughed.

"Come on, I don't think I'll be able to cultivate into a sword immortal in my next life. Tell us about the other fairy swords. ”

"Then I'll talk about the origin of the Seven Great Sects' Zhenzong Immortal Sword. The storyteller shook his head, "The Panying Sword is the weapon of the Fengling Sword Immortal. It is said that Feng Ling Sword Immortal likes the wind the most, and the word 'Feng Ling' is the meaning of fierce wind. The place where Feng Ling Sword Immortal cultivated was a canyon where the wind was often blowing, and one day, she suddenly found that among the many trees in the canyon, there was only one tree that was different from the others. The other trees swayed in the howling wind, but this one didn't move. At night, the trunk of the tree glows faintly. Through the bright light, Feng Ling Sword Immortal sensed that there seemed to be something in the trunk of the tree. So she broke it with a sword, but unexpectedly found that it was a fairy sword inside. This is the origin of the Panying Sword.

Flying Stygian Sword ......"

The story of Mr. Storyteller becomes more and more mysterious. For example, the Flying Immortal Sword was found in a cave, the Qingshuang Sword was born in the snow, the Liujing Sword was contained at the bottom of the Lanyue River, and so on. For too

Qingzong's Chengying Sword, Mr. Storyteller also told a wonderful story: "One day, the Taiqing Sword Immortal walked through the mountains of Tiandao, and suddenly found that his shadow on the ground was a little strange, and at the head of the shadow, there was a circle of treasure light. Take a step in the other direction, and the treasure light is gone. At that time, Taiqing Sword Immortal speculated that there must be a strange treasure underground. After being excavated, as expected, the Chengying Sword was born from then on, and it also added to the brilliant achievements of the Taiqing Sword Immortal in the future. Therefore, when he later opened the sect, he chose the spiritual mountain where the sword was hidden as the holy place of the sect. ”

Tianyao couldn't help but smile after hearing this. This kind of story is not credible, and no one in the sect has heard of the origin of the Chengying Sword, so how can a storyteller know about it.

After the storyteller finished speaking, someone mentioned the other four immortal swords that the immortal cultivators were looking for at the moment. Regarding the three immortal swords of Zhengang, Moyang, and Shengxi, Mr. Storyteller did not describe too much. But when it came to the Juque Immortal Sword, Mr. Storyteller's expression suddenly changed, and he said to the audience mysteriously: "Speaking of the Juque Immortal Sword, do you know what the word 'Juque' means?"

The people waited for him to continue, but he smiled and remained silent.

"Don't sell it, say it quickly. Finally, someone in the audience couldn't help but urge.

"'Tang Ao Tang Ao', forget 'Tang Ao'. "There is another humane.

The "Tang Ao" mentioned by this man is actually an obscure word. The original meaning of "tangao" refers to profound truths, but here it is extended to mean reward. Storytellers in this region have a habit of telling stories that people are interested in, and then when it comes to the most critical moments, they suddenly keep silent in order to ask for some extra reward. I don't really pay attention to how much to give, there are many listeners, and one person gives a little, and there are a lot of them. People knew the meaning of this codeword, so the audience under the stage took out a handful of copper coins and threw them on the stage. The guests in the teahouse were thrown into the open space on the street, and there was a dense jingling sound, like a rain of copper coins. At this moment, two children ran out from behind the stage, one was responsible for picking up the copper coins on the stage, and the other bypassed the audience and was responsible for picking up the money that fell on the street.

After the storyteller saw the money, he opened his mouth again: "Speaking of the word 'Juque', there is an untold story. 阙, refers to the palace. Legend has it that a long, long time ago, the continent under our feet was not called 'Qinglong Continent', but 'Pangu Continent'. The Pangu Continent is far more vast than the current Qinglong Continent, and the people on the continent will not cultivate immortals. At that time, there were no seven counties, but a single emperor ruled them. The emperor was very fond of his wife, the princess. He chose a picturesque place surrounded by mountains and rivers, and ordered the craftsmen to build a most splendid palace as a gift to his concubine.

Unfortunately, before the palace was completed, the princess died of illness. The grief-stricken emperor converted the palace into a mausoleum. The gate of the palace became the tombstone of the mausoleum, and when the emperor stood in front of the monument to remember his lover, he was so sad that he wrote a poem on the back of the tombstone:

'The palace gate,

Mausoleum tombstone.

Jiangshan Wanli Road,

Where my heart belongs.

Don't live or die,

I hope you will be together.

Helpless, God doesn't allow it,

Hurried sickness urged.

Husband and wife with the same life bird,

There is no chance to fly like wings.

When you are deeply in love,

Yin and yang are strangers and sad.

Lovesickness is unbearable,

The moon is dark and the sun is shining.

Looking up to the sky and sighing,

Give me back my eternal love concubine. ’

Since then, in addition to the meaning of palace, the word 'que' has added a second meaning tombstone. Therefore, 'Juque' can refer to both a huge palace and a tall tombstone. ”

Hearing this, people can't help but sigh again and again. Regardless of whether the story is true or not, the affectionate memorial poem alone is enough to move people.

"The owner of the Juque Immortal Sword is Zhaoyue Sword Immortal Xiong Jiewu, and he is also an infatuated person. It is said that his wife was not an immortal cultivator, but an ordinary person, so the two could not be together for a long time. After the death of his lover, Xiong Jiewu was grief-stricken, personally went up the mountain to find a boulder, used a fairy sword to cut it into a square tombstone, and lived on the barren mountain for a long time, accompanying his wife in the tomb. Perhaps because of the long-term calmness of his mind, Xiong Jiewu's cultivation improved rapidly, and he survived the heavenly tribulation in one fell swoop and cultivated into a sword immortal.

In the middle of the night, heavy rain suddenly fell from the sky, and thunder and lightning were combined. A huge thunderbolt fell on the mountain, striking the tombstone of Xiong Jiewu's wife. The stele was broken into two, but a sword handle was exposed, and it turned out that the stone center of the huge stone was actually a fairy sword, which was later the world-famous Juque fairy sword. Finally, the storyteller's voice dragged out, meaning that today's content was over. The audience in the audience talked a lot, although the story is more likely to be made up, but the plot is still quite attractive. When you have time to drink tea, it's also good to listen to it.

Hua Qingyu said to Tianyao and Zhu Xiaomin: "I have never heard of the legend of the immortal sword before, and today it can be regarded as opening the 'ear realm'. ”

"It's funny. At first, I thought he was just dismantling the name of the fairy sword, but I didn't expect there to be a supporting story. Zhu Xiaomin said.

Tianyao smiled: "That's what people do, if they don't make some gimmicks, who wants to listen to it?" Let's go." ”

The three turned around and prepared to leave.

At this time, the two little boys who picked up the money ran back to the stage, and the storyteller was rough, and there were more "Tang Ao" today than before, and he couldn't help but smile, and said a few more words to the audience who were about to disperse: "Everyone, wait, I still have something to say." Since the Great War of Immortals and Demons, many peerless immortal swords have disappeared, and there is a legend about the whereabouts of the Juque Immortal Sword, and I don't know if it is true or not. ”

Hearing this, people gathered around one after another, and the three of them also stopped, and turned around to listen to the storyteller continue to say: "Before the Zhaoyue Sword Immortal broke through the void, he hid the giant sword in a boulder again. Now all the immortal cultivators are all over the continent looking for the five immortal swords that have not yet appeared, but there are no clues. I don't know if the legend I've heard is an opportunity. If you have a strong heart, you can give it a try. ”

The crowd exploded, and everyone came up to the stage to surround the storyteller and ask questions. In the eyes of ordinary people, if they can find the Giant Que Immortal Sword and give it to any of the seven major sects, they can exchange it for a lot of rewards. There were also several disciples in the crowd who didn't know which sect they were and left in a hurry, apparently returning to the sect to report the news.

Tianyao, Hua Qingyu, and Zhu Xiaomin glanced at each other, and walked out of Suizhou City along the city gate next to the west end of the street.

On the way, Tianyao asked, "Do you think that legend is credible?"

Zhu Xiaomin said: "That depends on whether the previous story about Zhaoyue Sword Immortal is true." If that story is true, with the state of mind of a man who has lost his beloved wife, it is indeed very likely that the fairy sword will be re-sealed in the boulder. ”

"I think it's true. Hua Qingyu said, "Think about it, when the eighteen fairy swords first appeared, they didn't know where they came from, and they didn't know who forged them, so those sword names may have been given by the sword immortals." The storyteller is right, the word 'que' does have two meanings: 'palace' and 'tombstone'. From the perspective of a sword immortal, the meaning of 'palace' is too ornal, and the meaning of 'tombstone' is too sad, and it is not suitable to name the fairy sword, unless something related happens...... Tombstones give birth to swords, which is a reasonable explanation. However, I suspect that the Zhaoyue Sword Immortal may not be a boulder when he sealed the giant sword, but more likely a new tombstone for his deceased wife. ”

Tianyao nodded, Hua Qingyu made a lot of sense. But another question arose in his mind: "If the legends are true, where is that storyteller?"

"Well, what if it's true? I don't know where the boulder is or on which mountain. I don't know how many boulders there are in the Qinglong Continent, so it's easier said than done!" Zhu Xiaomin sighed.

Tianyao teased her: "Then you will see a piece splitting a piece." ”

Zhu Xiaomin pouted: "I don't, it's better to practice hard if you have that kung fu." ”

"The peerless fairy sword, those who are destined to get it. Hua Qingyu said with a smile.

"That's right, it's more important to find Brother Tianxiao right now. Let's go, let's go to Lizhou. With that, the three of them rose up with their swords and flew away to the west.

......

Above a mountain forest in the north of Tenglong County, Meng Fantao's sword stood in the air.

He frowned slightly, and said to himself: "Why is it so unfortunate......" This dense forest is the retreat of Bei Yuankai. Meng Fantao specially came to him to discuss important matters, but Bei Yuankai was not there.

Whereabouts, put away the sword, Meng Fantao walked into the dense forest. Soon, the wooden house opened by Bei Yuan appeared in front of his eyes. Meng Fantao pushed the door and entered, carefully observing the surroundings. He needed to confirm whether Bei Yuankai went out occasionally or never came back. The furnishings in the wooden house are simple, a bed, a table, a chair, and nothing else. The tables and chairs were covered with thick dust, and it seemed that Bei Yuankai had not lived here for a long time.

"Could it be that you have traveled around?" Meng Fantao thought suspiciously. Suddenly, the scene of the separation on the shore of the East China Sea flashed in his mind: Bei Yuankai left with the sword first, and Bei Yuanguan immediately chased after him. There were so many things that happened that day that Meng Fantao didn't notice this weirdness for a while.

"Won't you...... Could it be that Bei Yuan is closed by Bei Yuan?" Meng Fantao was even more puzzled.

......

A few days later, Meng Fantao came to the Xiaolin Valley in the northeast of Kanglong County. When he was discussing the search for Jin Gedong in Hanzhou, he had inadvertently asked about the place where Pei Yuanguan was repaired, but he didn't want to come in handy today.

"Sure enough, ......" Meng Fantao felt that there were two immortal cultivation masters in the valley, one must be Bei Yuanguan, and the other was not Bei Yuankai, who else could it be? But he was very puzzled in his heart, Bei Yuankai followed Bei Yuankai and came to explain it well, presumably because Bei Yuanguan got the Zhanlu Immortal Sword, Pei Yuankai wanted to rely on the brotherly relationship to comprehend the sword intent together, but judging from the friendship between the two, it was impossible for Bei Yuankai to agree.

With doubts, Meng Fantao fell to the bottom of the valley and walked along the stream to the front of Bei Yuan's closed wooden house.

The Pei brothers were sitting cross-legged on the open space in front of the wooden house meditating, and the blue Zhan Lu Immortal Sword rested on Pei Yuanshu's lap. Sensing that someone was coming, the two opened their eyes at the same time, and Bei Yuan closed and put away the Zhan Lu Immortal Sword.

"It turned out to be Meng Daoyou. I don't know what you're doing?" Bei Yuan closed his mouth and clenched his fist to Meng Fantao. Bei Yuankai also bowed.

"Heh, sorry to disturb the two Qing Xiu. Actually, I'm here this time to find Bei Yuan's friends to discuss important matters, can you take a step to speak?"

Bei Yuanguan and Bei Yuankai glanced at each other and said, "It's okay." Then he went back to the cabin.

For the sake of safety, Meng Fantao said to Bei Yuankai: "Brother Bei, why are you cultivating here?" In fact, what Meng Fantao wanted to know was why Pei Yuankai and Bei Yuan were closed, but it was inconvenient for him to ask too obviously about the matter between other brothers.

Bei Yuankai also said: "Brother Meng's words are interesting. As long as the mind is calm, where can't you cultivate?"

Meng Fantao didn't get the answer he wanted to know, and he couldn't help but hesitate, because Bei Yuankai's attitude towards Bei Yuanguan determined the final result. He thought for a moment: "These two brothers have always looked at each other unpleasantly, how could they suddenly reconcile? Presumably it was Pei Yuankai who promised some benefits to Bei Yuanguan, and Pei Yuanguan agreed that the two of them would jointly comprehend the sword intent. "It's a pity that Meng Fantao was wrong, he didn't know what happened in the Kun Palace's Death Gate. "Brother Bei, to get back to business, I came this time because I have a plan that I want you to participate in. ”

"Oh, what's the plan?"

"To tell you the truth, since I returned empty-handed from my trip to Shuzang Palace, I have been very unwilling. Liu Yinyin is just a person in the middle of the Mahayana period of the Taiqing Sect, what virtue does she have, how can she occupy the strongest peerless immortal sword? Doesn't she rely on the efforts of others to finally let her pick up the cheap? We pay no less than them, are you willing?" Meng Fantao's tone was very sad and indignant, and he seemed to have a feeling of resentment.

Bei Yuankai felt amused: "I said Brother Meng, you shouldn't want to snatch the Xuanyuan Sword, right?"

Meng Fantao said bewildermently: "Brother Bei, don't you want to get the peerless immortal sword? Five years later, if the Immortal Cultivation Realm and the Dragon Clan go to war, there will inevitably be chaos in the world at that time, and it just gives us an opportunity to take advantage of......"
