227. Regulus

The Xie family brothers traveled quickly, and Ling Shan and Ming Yuetian had no intention of taking the opportunity to make friends, so they did not deliberately chase after them, so although they were only a moment slower and went down the mountain, they did not see their shadows all the way. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

It wasn't until after going down the mountain that I saw the Xie brothers in Taihua Town, at this time, they were leading a healthy horse, and they were hurrying out of the town.

Ling Shan didn't come forward to greet each other, she and her senior sister went to the inn to eat something, and by the way, they brought some dry food for preparation, and then left Taihua Town and rode east.

Shenjian Villa is located at the foot of the northern foot of Songshan under the Qitian Wall, but the ancestral mountain is the southern remnant of Songshan Mountain, the two places seem to be very different from the north and south, in fact, if you start from Huashan and take the official road, it is the same road at all, there is far and near.

And after the Xie family left Huashan, it was obvious that they also went back to Shenjian Villa instead of going to other places, so although there were differences along the way, they had been on the same road, and they had settled in the same place several times.

At dusk on this day, near Luoyang City, he was galloping on the official road with his senior sister, turning a corner, and suddenly saw seven or eight horses walking one or twenty zhang ahead, with gray clothes and swords on horseback, all of them dressed in general with the Xie brothers.

These are the people of Excalibur Villa!

The galloping horse was galloping, and Ling Shan saw the figure in front of him, and his thoughts rose, and his body was already approaching.

Only then did it become clear that there were two horsemen tied up by the flowers, one horse in front of each side dragging them, and four horses scattered on the periphery, a total of eight horsemen.

And the two kidnapped people were Xie Ying and Xie Xiong, who were one step ahead of them.

"Sister, wait a minute—huh—"

Seeing this, Ling Shan immediately called her senior sister, grabbed the galloping horse, docked to the side, and swept towards the crowd with a frown.

The bright moon sky naturally stopped as well.

These people had all stopped before Ling Shan and the two approached, and then they looked sideways.

They are obviously all members of the Xie family.

Not in a similar outfit, not in an unseen martial arts, but in temperament.

The first image of each of them is cold, without exception, everyone's temperament is very similar, if they are scattered, there is naturally nothing, but together, anyone will see that this is in the same place, the same method of training!

But if they are both members of the Xie family, why did they tie up Xie Ying and the others? Looking at the appearance of these people, there is no sign of fighting, are they caught because of people of the same clan? Also, the swordsmen of the Xie family, if they don't have a sword spirit, they don't leave the Xie family, when did the Xie family swordsmen who can get out of the Divine Sword Villa be so worthless? As soon as they come out, they will only have eight poops, and one is younger than the other, and it seems that none of them can be more than 30 years old...... Could it be that the Xie family has revised the clan rules? In the middle, it is obviously not quite right!

Ling Shan's mind was racing, and her stomach was full of questions, but no matter what, she was also acquainted with the two brothers, and since this unusual scene had happened, there was no reason to ignore it, and it was still necessary to ask.

Her eyes finally focused on Xie Ying and Xie Xiong, and said with a smile: "Brother Xie Ying, I don't know what's going on?"

In the queue opposite, the swordsman who held Xie Ying and sat on the reins of the horse asked coldly, "Who are you?"

Xie Ying, who was tied into a zongzi, also said with a cold face: "Xie Hao, they are Huashan disciples, not enemies, no need to disturb!"

The swordsman named Xie Hao didn't answer again, but his eyes were still locked on Ling Shan and the others, without a trace of carelessness, while Xie Ying turned his head again, looked at Ling Shan, and said calmly: "This is the internal matter of the Divine Sword Villa, Miss Ling doesn't have to worry about it, please take care of yourself!"

Ling Shan glanced at him suspiciously, except for the rope, he really couldn't see anything coerced, he must have been willing to tie his hands...... Okay, so to speak, it's just a hot face to stick to someone's cold ass, Ling Shan scolded secretly for not knowing what to do, and pouted: "Since you don't have to worry about me, then forget it, sister, let's go." ”

If it was still the same as when she met the Huang family's merchant ship in Taihu Lake a few months ago, then even if this guy clearly said that she didn't need help, she would have to find a way to understand the twists and turns to satisfy her curiosity today, but for more than a month, she has been on the road one after another, and she has gone around from south to north, especially in the seven or eight days since Huashan arrived here, and she has not had a good rest for a day, and she is really a little irritable, and considering that she still has an appointment with Du Yu, the time is not sufficient, so she will no longer waste energy and time to meddle in things, call the senior sister, and ride away.

Seeing them leave, the Xie family's queue reopened, and on the way, Xie Ying asked: "Xie Hao, hasn't the owner of the village been in the village all along? Who can sneak in? And the sword guard, how can the sword still ......?"

Xie Hao said with a cold face: "I don't know the specifics, but now that the swordsmen who leave the customs have to chase the sword, the owner of the village will make an exception for us to come out of the village to take you two back!"

......

Putting aside the personnel of the Xie family, Ling Shan and the others quickly arrived in Luoyang City, inquired about some news in the God of Food Residence, rested for the night, and set off again the next day.

After a few more days, he arrived at the Ancestral Mountain of Longneck Prefecture.

In all dynasties, place names are easy to change, but there are always some things, even if the imperial court does not advocate it, it will always be maintained.

For example, the ancestral mountain of Longneck State.

When it comes to the Ancestral Mountain, few people will say the Ancestral Mountain of Yuzhou Mansion, but will always associate it with the three words Longneck State.

Longneck Prefecture is not the official state capital, but the general name of the place where the Huanglong River flows through in Henan, because the big river is rolling like the Yellow Dragon, and this part of the area happens to be in the position of the Yellow Dragon's neck, so it is named after the dragon's neck, which is a very ancient name.

Not only the Ming Dynasty, but also the previous Zhou Dynasty, tracing back to the top, Longneck Prefecture as an official place name was still six or seven hundred years ago, and this name was banned as early as the Xu Feng Dynasty.

Of course, among the people, especially in Yudi, this saying has always existed.

Geographically, including Kaifeng in eastern Henan, Luoyang in western Henan, and the entire northern and central Henan, can be counted as within Longneck Prefecture.

In addition to the dragon's neck, the folk common name, there is also the dragon head that crosses Ludi until it penetrates the Bohai Inland Sea, the dragon's waist that rises and falls in the north like a bow back, and the dragon tail that starts from the source of the big river in the West Plains.

The Lu River under the Ancestor Mountain is a tributary of the Huanglong River, of course, branching out and branching, and when it is divided here, it is already a very small tributary.

Along the river to the east, it is not a lofty mountain that is not accessible to people, but there is a road to communicate, although this road is not wide and uneven and not easy to walk, but there is always a road, has been with the Luhe River or far or near, or not far and not close next to each other, walking on the road, in addition to the sound of horses' hooves, it belongs to the sound of flowing water!

It took another day, traveled nearly 100 miles, and inquired about the location of the Jianhu Lake, which the locals called "Little Dongting", and saw the Linhu Temple, according to Shi Xuanyuan, when he entered the temple, he rang the bell ninety-nine times in a row, and waited by the side - of course, after donating the incense money, the work of ringing the bell was done by the monks in the temple.

After a while, a flying shadow broke through the sky and stood two feet away from Ling Shan.

The person who came looked like he was about forty or fifty years old, his sideburns were slightly gray, his green shirt was back with a sword, he was dead and silent, and his eyes that did not fluctuate swept Ling Shan, and also swept the direction of Mingyuetian, who was hiding in the shadows on the other side, but there were no superfluous words, only one word: "Come!"

Don't ask the origin, don't ask the meaning, after speaking, turn around and leave.

Ling Shan's scalp was numb at his glance, and he intuitively felt that there was a great danger coming to him, and he subconsciously tensed up, instinctively guarding the embankment, and his heart was dark, understanding that this was a big master.

After all, they didn't know the details of Xuanyuan Palace, so they decided to echo it in the light and in the dark, in case of contingencies.

However, since he saw through it and didn't say anything, Ling Shan and the others had no intention of exposing themselves, and followed behind one by one.

It's just that on the way, Ling Shan knocked on the side and asked, "Is the senior a disciple of Xuanyuan Palace?"

"The younger generation heard that the contemporary Xuanyuan Sword Lord is called Yun Xuantian, I don't know if it's true?"

"I heard that the Xuanyuan Sword is an ancient divine sword, once it is triggered, its power can destroy the heavens and the earth, have you ever seen it before?"

......

Except for saying that his name was Jian San, all the other questions were silent and did not answer, and he only looked forward, which seemed to be extremely patient.

Soon, when I arrived at the back mountain of Linhu Temple, I opened a cave door and entered.

Ling Shan originally subconsciously thought that this mysterious Xuanyuan Palace was this cave, but it turned out to be otherwise.

The cave had only one passage nearly six or seven feet wide, and there were no forks in the whole way, not even many curves, just a slightly oblique straight line, with candlelight shining at intervals. In this kind of place, Ming Yuetian couldn't hide and continue to walk, although he could follow from a distance, but in order to prevent any hidden weapons from being split and attacked, not long after entering the cave, he simply appeared and walked with Ling Shan, no longer hiding!

Jian San didn't know if he noticed it or not, but Ling Shan felt that he had probably found out, he had noticed it when his senior sister was hiding in the dark, and it didn't make sense that he couldn't find it now, but he presumably didn't care about one more person or one less, so he didn't react!

Ling Shan had already quieted down, only in the quiet environment, the slight sound of footsteps echoed, and he walked in this cave for a long time, and he didn't estimate it, I don't know how far it was, but it finally came to an end.

At the end was just an ordinary stone wall, with no door or exit, but there was a striking scratch three feet long on the candlelit stone wall.

The third sword stopped in front of the stone wall, the long sword came out, the sword qi was full of energy, condensed to the extreme, into a touch of eternal and immortal brilliant sword light, shining, clear room, and then swept down coldly, and the sword light perfectly fit the scratches on the stone wall.

Suddenly, the magnificent streamer surged, giving birth to the void portal, forming a mysterious and mysterious familiar scene!

This is......

"Cave Heaven!"

Ling Shan was shocked and muttered, how similar was this scene to the opening of the True Hook Jade Cave Heaven? This was the first time he had seen such a situation outside of the Hundred Flowers Valley. Really...... Isn't Magatama Cave the only one?

The light door opened, the sword returned to the sheath, stretched out his hand, and made a "please" gesture, still a few words, and said: "Enter!"

Stepping towards the portal first, the figure disappeared in the clear light.

Ling Shan and Senior Sister glanced at each other, and then followed!

Through the light gate, the darkness turned bright in an instant, and suddenly it became clear.

The sun shines brightly, the breeze is uncertain, this mountain is high into the clouds, the surrounding peaks and peaks are undulating, there is no edge, and there is no black fog in the sky of the jade cave, I don't know why.

A quaint palace lies on the mountainside, and there are houses lined up all around, and they are standing not far from the main entrance of the main hall, next to it, there is a stone wall rooted in the ground, and there are four characters on the wall that are very different from Shenzhou, but Ling Shan can see at a glance that these words are the same as the two characters engraved on the sword body of "Biluo", which belong to "Tongwen".

The understanding of this kind of writing still stems from a small book left by the master in the Hundred Flowers Valley, which records more than 300 commonly used "Tongwen" characters and translations, Ling Shan has seen it a few times, but there are few that can be remembered, and it feels familiar to see any word, but he can't recognize it!

However, although she didn't memorize it, her senior sister often read it, and wanted to recognize it, so she asked, "Sister, do you know these words?"

Ming Yuetian stared silently for a moment before saying, "It should be Xuanyuan Sword Shrine!"

As soon as the four words came out, Jian San turned his head and glanced at Ming Yuetian in surprise, since the meeting, for the first time, he had a look other than indifference, thinking that in Jian San's eyes, Ming Yuetian recognized "Tongwen", which was even stranger than they knew that Dongtian was not as ignorant as ordinary Jianghu people!

However, that was all, and after one glance, he returned to normal, and only said, "Please!" and led to the palace.

The temple is not large, and you can see inside and outside at a glance.

There is no statue in the lobby of the main hall, there is only one stone platform on the upper position, there is an iron sword frame on the stone platform, there is a golden ancient sword on the shelf, the sword has no sheath, there is no Shenhua circulation and does not show the edge, only the sword body is engraved with orderly lines.

Two old men put their swords on their knees and sat side by side on the futon under the stage.

After Jian San lured Ling Shan Mingyue Tian in, he said to the two of them, "Hit the bell!"

"Yes!"

One of the old men replied lightly, Jian Sanyi clenched his fists, and without saying much, he turned around and left!

The people of Xuanyuan Palace seemed to be generally concise and to the point, and the old man looked at Ling Shan and the others, without greetings, and went straight to the point: "What did you come from?"

Ling Shan said: "I was entrusted by someone to meet the Xuanyuan Sword Master. ”

The old man asked again, "Who's trusting you?"

Ling Shan said: "It's a senior in your Ancestor Sect, but who is it, I haven't seen the Xuanyuan Sword Master, please forgive the juniors for the inconvenience!"

Although Shi Xuanyuan's words were conclusive that day, she still had some scruples, even if Xuanyuan Sword Master Dadu did not care about Shi Lao Mo, how did she know that there would not be a situation where the king of Hades would be difficult to mess with the little ghosts?

The old man really didn't ask any more questions, got up and said, "Wait!" and left the main hall.

Seeing the old man leave, Ling Shan focused her attention on the stone platform in front of her, and asked the other old man curiously, "Excuse me, this is the Xuanyuan Sword?"

The old man said, "Yes!"

Ling Shan asked again, "Can I take a closer look?"

The old man said, "Yes!"

So agreed?

Ling Shan was stunned, the Holy Dao Ancient Sword named after the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, also known as the Imperial Sword, is the first of the three swords of the Son of Heaven in the world, one of the seven great swords of Shenzhou, famous through the ages, deafening, its value is immeasurable, she was ready to be rejected, but she didn't expect people to agree directly, and she couldn't help but slander that this decision was too hasty, and even wondered if this would be just an ornament, not a real Xuanyuan Sword, this old man would be so generous...... But since I have given the opportunity to get close to the observation, whether it is true or not, I will talk about it after watching it.

However, it was only nearly a foot away, and the mutation protruded!
