Chapter 90: The Hanging Pavilion

After bypassing Yanqi Lake, we came to the foot of Broken Sword Mountain. There are ruined buildings everywhere, and there are bricks and tiles everywhere.

A huge gatehouse fell to the ground, half covered by dirt and weeds. The horse demon walked over and cleared the dirt and weeds.

I saw that there was still a plaque left on the gatehouse, and the three big characters of "Tianwu Sect" were written on the plaque.

Everyone gathered around, standing in front of the old site of the sect thousands of years ago, silent for a long time.

"Why did our Tianwu Sect move to the current Tianwu City? If it was a normal relocation, how could even the plaque outside the sect be left here?" Ma Xie asked.

Qin Zhong and Zhou Tong both shook their heads, they didn't know much about this secret. It's just that because of the many major wars, the old site of the Tianwu Sect has been seriously damaged, and the aura there has also suffered huge pollution, so it can only be relocated.

Now it seems that this relocation was not a planned and peaceful relocation, and it is likely that it was a helpless move in the midst of war, or a hasty move to the current place while fighting the enemy.

But who is the enemy? Why is he attacking the Heavenly Martial Sect, and what kind of enemy can destroy the leyline environment here beyond recognition?

No one knew the answer, maybe the high-level of the Tianwu Sect knew, but they didn't choose to tell this history to everyone.

"Look, there is the road up the mountain ahead, and we will follow this road until we find the Shuiyun Cave. Qin Zhong said.

Ma Xie saw a stone path covered by wild grass, which was supposed to be a wide and smooth road a long time ago, but now it is just a few waste stones.

The stone road led to the depths of Tianwu Mountain, and everyone walked all the way to look at the former site of their sect, and they were full of emotion.

The Tianwu Sect has been inherited for more than 3,000 years, and there have been glorious times, especially in those days of the Broken Sword Mountain Range, when it once dominated the northern part of the Jin Kingdom.

At that time, the Purple Immortal Sect and the Xuanmen Sect were nothing more than chickens and dogs, and the only one that could pose a threat to the Tianwu Sect was the Xuanyang Gate.

The five disciples under the Old Man of Tianwu are all monks in the Dan period, and there is no shortage of people like Liu Wushuang who are outstanding among their peers.

But who would have thought that only more than a thousand years later, Tianwu Sect was forced to stay away from his homeland and moved to today's Tianwu City, and he has not returned here for so many years.

The mountain road twisted and weng, and led the people around the mountain.

At a fork in the road, Qin Zhong said: "This should be the Shuiyun Cave in the past. Shuiyun Cave has always been a female disciple, so the location is relatively secluded. ”

The group continued along the fork in the road, and the cliffs on both sides got closer and closer, until at last only a narrow path remained.

At the end of the path is a cave more than one person high, and above the cave is written three words: "Water Cloud Cave." ”

"This is it. Qin Zhong said.

Entering the cave, you know that there is still a world in the cave.

This hole is a few wide, about three or four zhang high, seven or eight zhang deep, and the center of the hole is a spring of clear water, there are several stone steps behind the clear water, and there are still cases and futons and the like on the stone steps.

On the left and right sides of the cave, there are also a number of grottoes of various sizes, which appear to have been excavated by hand, and have been centered on this cave and extended to both sides.

"These stone caves next to them are the practice places of those predecessors back then, and there should be many grottoes above this main cave, and most of them are connected. Qin Zhong explained to the others.

Everyone explored in this stone cave, and sure enough, as Qin Zhong said, these grottoes are all connected together, with a total of six floors up and down, and the left and right sides stretch for more than ten miles.

"This kind of cave is rare in our side, but it is said that in the Buddha country in the West, the Buddha there lived in such caves and practiced. Qin Zhong knew a lot about this kind of thing, and he speculated that this Shui Yun Tang Patriarch Wu Shan might have something to do with that mysterious Western Buddha Kingdom.

But they explored several times, but they didn't find the grotto that could take them underground.

However, this is also normal, these caves are basically excavated by man, and the cave where the Ghost Bat King and the Black Water Python are located is very likely to be naturally formed.

Therefore, everyone focused on finding the natural cave, so that the task volume was several times larger, and the four of them had to act separately to increase their speed.

Ma Xie came to the top of the Shuiyun Cave alone to search, the cliff here is steep, but there are many natural stone caves on it, and the sound of running water is heard from time to time, Ma Xie feels that it is very likely that this place can lead to the big cave underground.

The sky gradually darkened, Ma Xie's vision was already very bad, he was about to return, and when he came to investigate tomorrow, he suddenly heard a rustling sound, he looked up, a group of bats flew out of the cave not far ahead.

"Bat ......" Ma Xie had an idea in his heart.

The cave where the bats flew out was below where Ma Xie was, and he quickly arrived at the cave, but he was disappointed to find that the cave was not deep, and there was no road inside, but there were a few bats here.

Slightly disappointed, Ma Xie prepared to return to the main cave, and it seemed that he would not be able to find the passage here for a while.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a building on the opposite hill, standing quietly there in the moonlight.

I don't know that the building on the opposite side seems to be suspended in the air, and there is no support under the feet, only a few logs connecting the cliff.

Only a small part of the building was exposed on the cliff that Ma Xie could see, and the other large part was on the other side of the cliff, and there used to be a bottomless abyss called "Sword Abyss".

"Hanging Pavilion......" Ma Xie could see at a glance that it was the former site where Danyang Hall was located, where the Hanging Pavilion was located, and it was also the place where he was going to complete his personal task this time.

It's still early for the time when they agreed to meet, and since they can't find the cave, why not go to the Hanging Pavilion for a visit?

Ma Xie had an idea in his heart, so he saw running on the cliff, and soon climbed to the bottom of the Hanging Pavilion.

With the help of those few pieces of wood, Ma Xie soon arrived in the Hanging Pavilion.

Ma Xie's mission is to explore the Hanging Pavilion and find the lost sword book "Heavenly Star Falling Sky Sword", for here, he has an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

The layout in the Hanging Pavilion is no different from that of Danyang Hall, simple and simple, and there are still many traces of sword blades on those old pillars.

Ma Xie walked along the path in the Hanging Pavilion, and soon came around to the other side of the cliff, the top of the "Sword Abyss".

I don't know how deep this sword abyss is, but with the help of the moonlight, Ma Xie can't see the bottom.

He stood by the guardrail of the Hanging Pavilion, staring at the abyss under his feet, and a cold wind blew up from the abyss below, and Ma Xie felt a little chill.

When he walked to the center of the cliff, Ma Xie came to the lobby of Danyang Hall that day.

There are still a few chairs here, on the platform in the center, there is also a half of an ancient painting, the person in the painting is now only half of his body left, and he is holding a long sword in his hand, Ma Xie recognized that it is the sword placed in front of the tablet of the ancestors of the Danyang Hall to worship the ancestors of the past dynasties.

"Ru Yuan"!

The sword of Danyang Hall patriarch Liu Wushuang.

"It's like being in the abyss. "Is the person in this painting the ancestor?

Ma Xie couldn't help but be curious and walked over.

Through the moonlight outside, Ma Xie carefully admired the painting.

Although it had been torn in half, although he couldn't see the face of the sword-wielder, with that sword alone, Ma Xie felt an inexplicable sword intent.

It's grief and indignation, unwillingness, and a swordsman's roar at the end of his life!

Ma Xie gently brushed the dust off the painting, and then carefully removed the painting, he wanted to take the painting back to Master Zuo Lingfei.

I don't know how many years the painting has been hanging here, the paper has been blown a little brittle by the wind, and Ma Xie is very careful to roll up the painting and carry it on his back.

When he took down the painting, he noticed that there were still a few big characters written on the wall behind the painting, and Ma Xie could see the big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing clearly by the moonlight:

The ancestor is unparalleled, and the sword is overwhelming

Like a dragon, like the power of a tiger

Poor descendants, none of them are heroic

Abandon the family business and bark for food

The unparalleled patriarch is not a descendant, and all the descendants stay here

Ma Xie was shocked by these words and let out a cold sweat, he knew that he seemed to have touched an unknown past of the Tianwu Sect.
