Chapter 60: The Secret of the Cabinet
"The seal of the master?" Su Mu and Yin Yu looked at the seal in front of them, and they didn't know what the meaning of Master's move was. But they all saw the seriousness of Gao Yuanshan's expression, and they all waited intently for Gao Yuanshan's next step.
"Yes, the seal of the head of the house, but it has another role besides being the representative of the head of power. Gao Yuanshan explained, "Mu'er, Yu'er, you should all have heard of the forbidden land of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, right?"
"It's right down the hill of the Wailing Cliffs. Su Mu nodded.
"Yes, there it is. The Hanshan Sword Sect stipulates that no disciple other than the head of the sect is allowed to approach there, and the real reason is that that place hides the biggest secret since the founding of our Hanshan Sword Sect, and it is also a labyrinth that no one in the Hanshan Sword Sect can solve so far-the Organ Pavilion. ”
"Organ Pavilion?" The word Su Mu and Otoyu had heard for the first time, and in their impressions, they had never known that the Hanshan Sword Sect actually had such a place, and it was hidden under the back mountain where they had been practicing swords since they were children.
"The Pavilion was established by our founding ancestor, and in addition to his cultivation level, the ancestor was also a great ingenuity. Do you know what Karakuri is?"
"That's it, right?" Su Mu took out the box of Taibai's true intentions and said suspiciously.
"Taibai's true meaning is too profound and mysterious, I don't know, but I think it should be something similar. Gao Yuanshan said, "The so-called ingenuity is the superb and complex process of separating the true qi or moves from the human body. ”
"The ancestor of our Hanshan Sword Sect is such an outstanding ingenuity, the ancestor is not from the southern country, but migrated from the far north. After settling down here in Hanshan, he established this pavilion and put a treasure of his ancestors in the pavilion. ”
"Heirloom Treasure, what is that?" Otoha asked curiously.
"No one knows," Gao Yuanshan shook his head, "I only know that this is an immortal artifact that records the secrets of heaven and earth, and it contains the power that is enough to revitalize the entire sect." ”
"But if such a secret treasure really exists, why didn't the old ancestor directly leave it to the sect, but build a pavilion to hide it?" Su Mu heard that this was a very important and serious topic, and lowered his head and muttered, trying to figure out the hidden meaning of the master's words.
"The old ancestor said that this secret treasure was too powerful, and the Cold Mountain Sword Sect was too weak, and he did not have the ability to directly control this secret treasure at that time, so if it was directly passed on to the descendants of the sect, it might lead to killing. ”
"Puff is not guilty, but he is guilty. Su Mu nodded in approval.
Su Mu's words made Gao Yuanshan a little surprised, when he left the sect three years ago, Su Mu was still an ignorant teenager who didn't know anything about the world, and his experience in the rivers and lakes was a blank slate. Now that he can calmly say such a truth, it really surprised Gao Yuanshan.
That's exactly what happened. That's why the old ancestor established the Organ Pavilion, as a test for the descendants of the sect, only those who conquer this Organ Pavilion are qualified to control the secret treasure. ”
"I see, if even the old ancestor can't surpass it, he is not qualified to control this secret treasure. Su Mu suddenly realized.
"That's right, at the same time, the old ancestor also stipulates that only the head of each generation is qualified to know about this matter, and only the head of each generation is qualified to challenge the organ pavilion, just to prevent the sect disciples from killing each other for this secret treasure. ”
"This, only the head of the sect is qualified to know, that disciple quickly avoided it!" Otowa was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up and prepared to leave.
"No, you come back, Yu'er. Gao Yuanshan stopped Otoyu with words, "You and Mu'er are both my personal disciples, and they are like brothers and sisters, so it has nothing to do with each other." ”
"But the rules of the sect..."
"The rules of this sect have gone through so many generations of disciples, and they have long since become no longer monolithic, and there are not a few disciples who know this pavilion. If it weren't for that, Ruan Qishen wouldn't have coveted this position like that. ”
"Ruan Qishen is going to snatch the head of the house because of the treasure in the cabinet?" Su Mu couldn't help asking.
"I think so. Gao Yuanshan sighed and said, "Ruan Qishen has always been a very stable and introverted person in the past, if it weren't for the treasure in this cabinet, I really can't think of why he has changed so much." ”
"So Master, do you want me to take over as the head of the sect, do you want me to challenge this cabinet?"
"That's right, Mu'er. Master is very sorry, but only when he takes over as the head of the house can he have the opportunity to challenge the Cabinet, and only by passing the Pavilion can he get the Secret Treasure. ”
"But Master, why is you suddenly so eager to get that secret treasure?" Twenty-three generations of disciples have passed..."Otoha asked puzzled, and Su Mu also turned his head to stare at Gao Yuanshan, obviously curious about this question as well.
"Mu'er Yu'er, you don't know, in the past few years, there have been disciples of my Hanshan Sword Sect who have been killed at the foot of the mountain for no reason, I thought it was Ruan Qishen who did it, but today, I am afraid that Ruan Qishen is still not the mastermind behind the scenes. There are also people who want to attack my Cold Mountain Sword Sect and lurk in the shadows. ”
"Therefore, our time is running out, and if the mastermind behind the scenes does not show up for a day, there will always be a dark cloud hanging over the sect. There is no other way, only to obtain that secret treasure can better protect the entire sect. Gao Yuanshan said.
"But Master, how can you be sure that I will definitely be able to conquer that Pavilion?" Su Mu thought about it, still a little puzzled.
"Mu'er, it seems that you still don't fully understand how terrible your talent really is. Gao Yuanshan's tone suddenly hardened, "Your talent is by no means comparable to anyone in the twenty-three generations of our Hanshan Sword Sect, or even far surpasses, it is not at the same level at all, if even you can't conquer it, then the secret treasure may really not be able to see the light of day again." ”
Gao Yuanshan looked at Su Mu's reaction, and then said, "And the moves in that pavilion are all covered by my Hanshan Sword Technique, at the age of ten, you can freely use high-level sword moves and can also dismantle them, Master believes that as long as you reach the realm of true qi, you will definitely be able to easily break the sword formation of that pavilion." ”
The continuous drizzle outside the window seemed to finally show signs of stopping, and even the wind blowing in the mountains was much weaker.
The stagnant water on the eaves fell drop by drop, hitting the ground regularly, and the sound of ticking one after another was very obvious in the silence of the night.
Such silence also complements the brief silence of the people in the room at this time.
After a long time, Su Mu finally stood up and opened his mouth to break the silence.
"Master, so you think that I have to take over as the head of the sect, break the cabinet, and get that secret treasure in order to improve my strength and protect our sect, right? ”
Looking at Su Mu's clear, pure, spotless eyes, Gao Yuanshan nodded and said, "That's right, only with that secret treasure and increased strength can we protect our sect and ensure that the disciples of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect will no longer suffer such unwarranted persecution." ”
"Since that's the case, let's let the senior brother inherit the head. Su Mu's tone had completely regained his calmness.
"Mu'er, why don't you understand what you mean by being a teacher?" Gao Yuanshan suddenly became anxious when he heard this.
Could it be that Su Mu didn't listen to all of what he said just now?
"No, I already understand what Master means very well, and I also think that we must have enough strength to protect the big family of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect. ”
"Then why are you still ..."
"Master, I mean, even if I don't take charge of the sect and don't rely on the secret treasure of the Pavilion, I can protect my sect. ”
Su Mu drew his sword and pointed it into the air, his tone sharp and confident, just like his sword.
