The Sword Pavilion in the green mountains is very quiet, since Xiao Yan ascended the throne, these dozens of pavilions full of vines seem to have been completely forgotten in this not high mountain, and there have been no visitors.

In front of a large hall with high cornices, there is an open space, surrounded by purple bamboo forests.

There are more than a dozen yellow rattan chairs in this open space, and every part of the chairs has been polished to a bright jade, revealing a moist light color.

On each rattan chair is a seated or semi-reclining person.

Most of these people are sitting with different things.

Some people seem to be asleep with their eyes closed, some people are polishing some pebbles, some people are making tea, some people are reading books.

It's just that these people all have one thing in common, that is, they are all disabled, most of them have incomplete limbs, some have broken legs, some have broken hands, and some have missing eyes.

Most of them were quiet, except for one who was muttering to himself.

It was a middle-aged man with a pale complexion, his hands and feet were complete, but the right side of his brain was deeply dented, and it looked like he had been crushed by some kind of heavy object.

People who have suffered severe brain injuries often have serious sequelae even if they do not die.

That's how this man should be.

His features looked a little distorted, and his mouth never closed, and some saliva continued to flow down the left corner of his mouth in front of him.

The ten fingers of his hands were twisted together as if none of the ten fingers belonged to him, as if there were ten villains fighting constantly.

There are only six words in his mouth, "Why don't you get out of the mountain... Why don't you get out of the mountain yet... Why don't you get out of the mountain..."

The two old men who were playing chess beside him were finally a little annoyed by his chatter, and said, "Tang Nianda, isn't it already out of the mountain?"

"Is it already out of the mountain?" the man looked at his fingers in a daze, still unable to understand.

When twilight fell, and the reflection of the mountains gradually swallowed up the clearing, the old men packed up their things and returned to different residences in the Sword Pavilion, but the man, who had been badly injured in the brain, looked at his ten fingers in obsession.

"Tang Nianda, you have already returned to the mountain, and you will come out of the mountain tomorrow. A few people shouted to him, and the man stood up in a daze, and followed them to the pavilion behind them.

......

Soon after these people returned, in the deeper twilight, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard on the long-untouched mountain road.

There is also a large flat land in front of the gate of Sword Pavilion Mountain, when there were many guests, it should be used to park horses and carriages, but at this time, it is not only overgrown with wild grass, but even many small trees have grown, and there are more than one person tall.

In the middle of the clearing, however, there was a grass hut.

The thatch on the grass hut is thick and neat, and the layers are very regular, which is pleasing to the eye.

The moment the first carriage ran over the grass on the aisle and the wheels pressed into the flat land, the door of the lawn hut lit with oil lamps creaked open from the inside out.

A man in an official uniform stepped out of it.

The man was only in his thirties, with good facial features and an extremely calm appearance.

"Who are you?"

Looking at the convoy, the man bowed his head slightly and asked very calmly.

"Lin Yi, the general of the right banner of the Tiece Army, I don't know who you are?"

Lin Yi walked out of the second carriage, and he looked curiously at the man in the official uniform, this is Pingshan County, but the man is wearing the official uniform of the Yulin Supervisor.

It stands to reason that such a person should work in Jiankang and should not be here.

"Yulin Supervisor Qiu Xiao. The man bowed to Lin Yi, and when he got up, he stretched out his hand at the same time, with an official seal representing his identity on his hand, which was an official of the fifth class of the Yulin Prison.

Lin Yi didn't slack off, he gave this person a look at his seal, and then said, "You are an official of the Yulin Prison, why are you here?"

The Feather Forest Supervisor official said respectfully, "I was just sent here to guard the gate. ”

"Janitor?"

Lin Yi was slightly stunned and said, "When I came here before, I didn't hear that there were still gatekeepers in the Sword Pavilion. ”

"I only came here in the spring of this year. Qiu Xiao still said respectfully: "Why did General Lin come here?"

"On military orders, hunt down several murderers. Lin Yi said: "Those murderers should come to the Sword Pavilion." ”

Qiu Xiao was also slightly stunned, his brows furrowed slightly, he pondered for a moment, and then said, "Could it be those murderers who kill people everywhere for no reason?"

Lin Yi looked at him and said, "If you mean that they have appeared recently, folklore has it that they are the murderers who are the incarnation of the Emperor of the previous dynasty, yes." ”

"Why did those people come to the Sword Pavilion?" Qiu Xiao was stunned.

"It's confidential, you can't say it. Lin Yi looked at him and said seriously.

Qiu Xiao bowed slightly, signaling that he understood, but at the same time apologized, and said, "It's just that the Sword Pavilion can't enter." ”

"Why can't you enter?" Lin Yi frowned slightly, he felt a little strange.

Qiu Xiaogong said solemnly: "Where the emperor's order is." ”

"Imperial Order?"

"Previously, the Sword Pavilion could enter and exit as long as the pavilion master agreed, but since the spring of this year, it has been sealed by the emperor's order, and no one can enter or leave. ”

Hearing these words, Lin Yi was even more puzzled and was about to speak, but at this moment, Bai Yuelu's voice came from his ears.

Her voice was very low, but he didn't know what True Yuan method was used, and when it came into his ears, he could hear it very clearly.

Bai Yuelu only said a few words to him, but he was shocked.

He didn't know the relationship between Sword Pavilion and He Xiu Xian before, but at this time, he understood that the changes that Sword Pavilion began to change this spring were related to the battle between Shen Yue and He Xiu Xiu.

"People in the Sword Pavilion can't go out of the mountain?" Lin Yi looked at the sincere official and asked softly.

Qiu Xiao nodded.

"Is it because of your cultivation?" Lin Yi looked at him and said directly.

Qiu Xiao's face stiffened slightly, but he immediately said seriously: "I don't know the inside story, I don't dare to speculate." ”

At this time, Bai Yuelu's voice sounded in Lin Yi's ears again.

Bai Yuelu whispered a few more words.

Lin Yi's heart became even more shocked.

What he heard was something that even Qi Zhuji didn't know and never said.

It turned out that Na He Xiu's trapping in the Nantian Academy was a bet to lose to Shen Yue, and the Sword Pavilion closed the pavilion and did not accept disciples, which was also part of the bet.

If He Xiu was alive, the gambling contract would still exist, and he himself would be closed in the South Heaven Courtyard, and these people in the Sword Pavilion would naturally be trapped here.

However, now that He Xiu is dead, will these people still be trapped here for He Xiu, for things that have already failed?

"How many people are here?" Lin Yi took a deep breath, he tried his best to calm himself down, and asked softly.

Qiu Xiao looked at him and said, "I'm the only one." ”

Lin Yi was a little incredulous, "If my perception is good, you should just be like the artistic conception." ”

Qiu Xiao's face did not change at all, and he still said calmly and respectfully: "General Lin, you don't perceive mistakes, I'm just like the artistic conception." ”

"If there are no other cultivators in charge, how can we restrict them from leaving?" Lin Yi raised his head, he looked at the pavilions built against the mountains, these pavilions looked delicate and quiet among the mountains, and outside these pavilions, there were not even walls.

"They're not leaving, and they're not going to let anyone go themselves. ”

Qiu Xiao looked at Lin Yi and said, "If I die here, or if anyone in the Sword Pavilion leaves, then all these people in the Sword Pavilion will be my Southern Dynasty repeat offenders, and all of them will die." ”
