Chapter 68: Lanling Sword
Yun Xuan approached the stone wall, and the handwriting on it was scribbled, but it was carved into the stone for three points: "Standing at the peak of the martial artist for more than 30 years, looking for the inheritance of Luoshui, I strayed into this Jedi." The sandworms in the deserted garden have been wiped out, with giant bats blocking the road in front and evil spirits blocking the way. Fighting with giant bats, killing three, seriously injured, retreating here, hopeless in this life. Latecomers know. Beigong Tuo pen. ”
Yun Xuan frowned after reading the handwriting, looked at the skeleton bones, and said: "The dead person should be the person who left the words on the stone wall, named Beigong Tuo, judging from the above description, there are giant bats in front and evil spirits in the back, they all sound very vicious, this should not be the place of death." ”
Wu Ningshuang glared at Yun Xuan, and said angrily: "It's not a dead place, it's almost the same as a dead land, the two things mentioned above are full of dangers, don't you see that it says that this is a Jedi?"
Qing Li said, "There may be danger ahead, Yun Xuan, what kind of abnormal sound did you hear on the mountain before?"
Yun Xuan said: "It's like the sound of a bird flapping its wings. ”
Wu Ningshuang pursed her lips, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said: "The voice of inciting wings, could it be the giant bat that this Beigong Tuo senior said? This Beigong Tuo senior said that he has stood at the peak of martial arts for more than 30 years, and he should be a martial artist with a perfect Dao Palace Realm, and he can't get by, what should we do?"
Qing Li looked at Yun Xuan and Wu Ningshuang and said, "According to the description, the giant bat in this senior's mouth has been killed by him, which shows that the giant bat is at most in the Dao Palace Realm, and after so many years, the giant bat may have become weaker." ”
Yun Xuan looked at Qing Li and knew the meaning of her words, if the giant bat had the strength of the Dao Palace Realm, the only one who could deal with it here was Qing Li, and neither he nor Wu Ningshuang could help, but he didn't want to do this, he knew that Qing Li's soul had not recovered.
So he said, "Unless we go back and take another road, there will be more than this road on the other side." ”
Qing Li shook his head and said: "This senior said that he wiped out the barren garden sandworms, and the barren garden should refer to the wasteland we passed through before, and he must have explored it, only to know that there are evil spirits behind him, and it makes sense for him to choose this path." As long as the giant bat is in the Dao Palace realm, we don't have to worry about it, leave it to me. ”
"But you haven't recovered yet, and maybe this senior hasn't explored all the roads nearby. Yun Xuan said.
"Since we are sure of this path, let's take this road. Listen to me this time. Qingli said firmly.
"Just listen to it. You're hurt, and still so many opinions. Wu Ningshuang said.
Yun Xuan moved his mouth, and finally did not speak, this Wu Ningshuang did not have back pain when she stood and spoke, and it was estimated that she would stand aside when the time came, but it was very likely that she would not be able to help.
He turned to look at the sword next to the skeleton, walked over and picked it up, the sword looked blue and black, it was well preserved, it could carve words on black iron stone, and it could fight giant bats without leaving a gap, it must be a good weapon, maybe it could come in handy later.
Wu Ningshuang walked over and said, "Give me the sword to use for a while." ”
"What are you doing?" Yun Xuan asked puzzled.
Wu Ningshuang snatched the sword from Yun Xuan's hand and said, "Just give it to me, why do you ask so much." ”
She carefully opened the broken clothes on the skeleton with her sword, and a booklet was revealed.
"What is this?" Yun Xuan asked, looking at the booklet.
Wu Ningshuang showed the cover to Yun Xuan, and the words Lanling Sword Spectrum were written on it.
"This is the famous Lanling sword spectrum two hundred years ago, two hundred years ago, in order to fight for it, there was a bloody storm among the southern martial artists of our Tang Kingdom, I heard that it hid the secret of breaking through the extreme realm of martial artists, and then disappeared, I didn't think that in this dead predecessor, it seems that this sword is the famous Lanling sword. ”
She flipped the blade of the sword to the side, and sure enough, the words Lanling Sword were written on it.
She flipped through the pages of the booklet, and inside were the patterns and words of the moves.
Yun Xuan looked down at the skeleton, and on the edge of the broken clothes that Wu Ningshuang had just opened the skeleton, there was also a piece of cloth that was very similar to the broken clothes, with a vague pattern on it.
Yun Xuan picked up the piece of cloth, not cloth, but rather a special piece of paper with worn edges, on which mountains and rivers were simply outlined, and there were two words on the edge of the broken paper, one of which was already missing.
Wu Ningshuang saw the paper that Yun Xuan picked up, hurriedly closed the booklet, approached, and said, "What is this?"
Yun Xuan shook his head and handed the paper to Wu Ningshuang.
Wu Ningshuang took it and looked at it, she was confused, she didn't know the description of the mountains and rivers on it, and the words.
She handed the paper to Qingli on the side.
Qing Li looked at it and said, "This should be a map, and this character is also the disappeared Nanzhao script, one is written Luo, and the other character is missing and unrecognizable." ”
Wu Ningshuang heard that it was the map, stared at the paper, her face was still a little confused, and watched Qing Li hand over the map to Yun Xuan.
"Keep it for now, being taken by this Beigong senior should be something he values. Qing Li said to Yun Xuan.
Yun Xuan put the paper in his arms.
Wu Ningshuang thought for a while, and said to Qing Li and Yun Xuan: "I have learned swordsmanship, and when I finish reading this sword book, I will show it to you." ”
Yun Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, if I knew the secret of this map, I would tell you too." ”
Wu Ningshuang used her sword to rummage through the skeleton's clothes for a while, but found nothing else special.
Yun Xuan looked at Wu Ningshuang strangely, Wu Ningshuang stared at Yun Xuan and said, "Look, you have done the same thing in Luolong Gorge in Fallen Leaf City. ”
"Now, the sword is back to you, it's time to move on. ”
Wu Ningshuang handed the sword to Yun Xuan, Yun Xuan took the sword and said, "I'll take the sword and go ahead." ”
Qing Li smiled at the corner of her mouth, nodded, looked at Wu Ningshuang, and said, "I'll go in the middle, if there is danger in front and back for a while, I will be convenient to support." ”
Wu Ningshuang also nodded, and said to Yun Xuan, "If there is danger in a while, you give me the sword." ”
Yun Xuan stared at Wu Ningshuang.
Wu Ningshuang looked at Yun Xuan and said provocatively and proudly on her face. "I can make swordsmanship, will you make swordsmanship?"
Yun Xuan didn't speak, looked at Beigong Tuo's bones, and thought to himself: "I offended just now, if you come here next time, I will definitely let you be buried in peace." ”
He glanced at Wu Ningshuang again, didn't answer, picked up his sword, and walked forward.
The pale road will be bright and dark, zigzag forward, Yun Xuan holds the sword in his left hand, he is now cautious, as he walks, his eyes are firmly fixed on the front, guarding against the giant bats that may suddenly appear.
Near the far exit, a strange creature with a withered and wrinkled body, a long and thin body of two people tall, with bat wings hanging upside down in the crack of the stone wall, the monster had no breath on its body, as if it had died.
In the stone wall opposite it hung two other human-tall monsters of the same size, also as silent as dead.
And not far in front of Yun Xuan and them, the stone path passed under a black boulder connected to the mountain, and it was dark and dreary, and an awakened monster hung under the black stone, its claws tightly buckled into the black stone, and its eyes were closed, towards the path from which Yun Xuan and they came.
As Yun Xuan and the others approached, the sound grew louder, and the monster stretched out its wrinkled body, opened its red eyes, opened its mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and its two fleshy membrane wings slowly opened, longer than the combined height of two adults.
Yun Xuan gradually approached the road that passed through the black boulders, it was too dark to see what it was, only the road reflected an extremely faint gray light, indicating that the road surface passed below.
Yun Xuan took advantage of the clear glow of the stars and the moon to look at the road in front of him, and there were large and small black stones scattered on the road.
He slowed down, came to the place where the black stones were scattered, and stopped.
"There are scattered black ironstones. Wu Ningshuang whispered.
She picked up a small piece and held it in her hand, and looked at it in the moonlight.
"Wait, with so much rubble scattered here, could it be the place where Beigong's predecessors fought with the giant bats?" Yun Xuan asked.
Qing Li looked ahead, she felt an evil aura in front of her, and her soul power sensed forward, but she didn't perceive a living thing, but she always felt a cold malice under the boulder.
"There is a danger at the front. Qingli said.
"Where?" Yun Xuan asked.
"Under the black boulder above the road ahead. Qingli said.
When Wu Ningshuang heard Qingli's words, she no longer paid attention to the black iron stone in her hand, and looked at the black mountain stone.
The three of them were silent for a moment and did not move forward.
"Squeak—"
A shrill voice came from under the black stone.
"Boom, pop, pop. ”
Suddenly, the sound of wings flapping against stones was heard.
With a snort, a huge black shadow swooped out from the darkness in front of them and rushed towards the three of them.
