Chapter 12: Vientiane Update
Zong Zheng and Xian Jie gradually became familiar with the layout of the mountain forest, and ingeniously named this mountain forest 'Fairy Forest', and the scenery in the forest was also given elegant names.
People are always curious, and when the two of them are familiar with certain places, they will naturally look at places that are still unfamiliar, and one day, Xianjie suddenly mentioned the stone room next door.
"Brother Zheng, what do you say the stone room next door looks like?"
"Actually, I'm also curious, but I need a key to open the stone room next door, I don't know where this key is hidden?"
"My mother often puts the key in her dressing box! Do you think Ouyang Qiong's predecessor is in charge of the key to the other stone room in the cave mansion and also puts this key in her makeup box?"
"It seems that my mother is the same!" said Zong Zheng after some recollection.
So, the two ran to the stone hall to the dressing table, Zong Zheng took out one of the boxes, opened it, and saw that there were only some rouge gouache that had been put in for a long time.
When I opened the other one, I saw that there were several beautiful pieces of jewelry inside.
Xianjie noticed another box, this is an agarwood box, covered with dust, some lines are faintly visible on the side of the box, Xianjie slowly picked it up, staring at the side of the box, always feeling that this box has a sense of déjà vu, she wiped off the dust on it with her hands, looked carefully at the carved lines on it, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, "Strange, how can this box be so similar to my mother's box," Xianjie turned the bottom of the box over, and the bottom of the box was impressive with the word 'Vientiane', Xianjie couldn't help but be surprised.
Zong Zheng saw it in his eyes and seemed to feel Xianjie's hidden feelings for this box.
Xianjie opened the box, and sure enough, there was a key inside, and at the bottom was a yellowed letter.
Xianjie did not pick up the key, but took out the letter at the bottom, at this moment, she didn't care about the key inside, but the content of the letter made her full of hope, she hoped to find the answer she wanted from the letter, so she handed the letter to Zongzheng as soon as possible.
Zongzheng knew that Xianjie was not very literate, so he took the letter, opened it and took out a letterhead, and read:
"Get this key, open the door of the stone room, and hide the martial arts of the sect sword sect 'Zongjian Sword Spectrum' and the Vientiane faction 'Vientiane Update Record', and those who have cultivated two miraculous skills should serve the sect sword sect and the Vientiane faction, if not, they will be punished by heaven!"
After hearing this, Xianjie couldn't help but wonder, "Vientiane update." ”
Zong Zheng asked, "What's wrong?"
"My father is the third generation of the Vientiane sect, and he used to talk about this book. Xianjie explained,
"Then what is the relationship between your father and the two seniors?" asked Zongzheng,
"I don't know about that. Daddy never told me anything in detail?" Xianjie pouted, her eyes a little dim.
Zong Zheng didn't ask much after hearing this, but just put the letterhead back in the envelope, and Xianjie was a little disappointed, the letterhead not only did not have the answer she wanted, but aggravated her doubts.
When Somasa put the letter back in the box, he picked up the key in the box.
"Since we are destined to get this key, we should follow the wishes of the two seniors, let's go and take a look!"
Before the two came to the stone room, Zong Zheng inserted the key into the door hole and twisted it half a circle to the right, only to hear a clang, as if the lock was loosening.
The two of them worked together to push the stone door, and the stone gate was only half exposed, and a large amount of stone dust on the top of the door was scattered.
"What's the matter, Xian'er?" Zong Zheng heard Xianjie's call, and immediately asked with concern,
"Brother Zheng, I accidentally got blinded by stone dust. Xianjie lowered her head and stroked her right eye with her hand.
Zong Zheng immediately bent down and blew softly into Xianjie's eyes.
Treat Xianjie to feel much better. The two of them squeezed half of the stone door into the stone room, and when they first entered the stone room, they felt an abnormal cold attack.
Zong Zheng lit the fire, and vaguely saw two large boxes at the bottom of the stone room by the faint light, next to it was a bookshelf, on which were placed pen, ink, paper, inkstone and a few books, and the books were placed on the bookshelf on the left and right, two on the left and three on the right.
Xianjie was a little frightened, pulled Zong Zheng's sleeve tightly, and hid behind him.
Zong Zheng came to the bookshelf and reached out to take down the three books on the right, which turned out to be the first, middle and lower volumes of the 'Vientiane Update Record'.
Then take down the two books on the left, and write 'Zongjian Sword Spectrum Volume Up' and 'Sect Sword Spectrum Volume Down'.
Zongzheng touched the cover of the book, then rubbed his fingers again, and suddenly came to the box next to the bookshelf, reached out and touched the box.
"Strange. Zong Zheng couldn't help but be surprised.
"What's wrong?" asked Xianjie,
"These books have been stored here for a long time, but there is no dust on the books, and here,"
Zong Zheng pointed to the large box next to the bookshelf and continued,
"Isn't it strange that even this big box and bookshelves are spotless?"
"It's really strange, why don't you see what's here first?" Xianjie just replied lightly, she wanted to know if there were any clues in the secret room to answer her inner questions, but the others didn't care.
Zongzheng put the book back as it was. Before coming to the wooden box, there were two wooden boxes, side by side, and I saw that one wooden box was locked and the other was not, and Zongzheng opened the box without a lock.
There were two long swords in it, with some cloth underneath.
The hilt of the sword was inlaid with a pearl, one of which was crimson in the reflection of the firelight, and the other was translucent, and a cold light and shadow passed in the firelight. Zong Zheng picked up a handful of Yin Hongse.
I vaguely saw a few words written on the hilt of the sword, and when I looked close to the firelight, the words 'Fire Sword' were written on it.
He pulled the scabbard of the sword, but saw that the blade of the sword was red, like a cloud of fire.
Fu picked up another one, and it said 'Water Ice Sword' on it.
Pulling out the scabbard, the blade of the sword was as white as an ice fountain, and the feeling of cold edge penetrated the whole body.
Zongzheng didn't know the sword, but his intuition told him that these two swords were anything but ordinary, and after looking at them, he carefully put them back and closed the lid of the box.
These two swords are indeed not ordinary swords, but two of the five elements of the sword, it is rumored that in ancient times, before the spiritual power of Nuwa Lingshi disappeared, there was spiritual power in heaven and earth, whether it was people, animals, plants or physical objects have spiritual power cultivation, the Yellow Emperor is the master of the world's spiritual power, he set the five elements of heaven and earth, and ordered the swordsmith Chi Lian to forge five swords of 'demon slashing demons' with heavenly fire, the Yellow Emperor named these five swords 'Jin Xin Sword', 'Mu Sen Sword', 'Water Ice Sword', 'Fire Sword' and 'Tugui Sword', and called 'Five Elements Sword'. Later, the spiritual power of the Nuwa Spirit Stone disappeared for some reason, and all things in heaven and earth instantly lost their spiritual power, but the people who originally had supreme spiritual power, animals, plants, and physical objects still maintained their own strength, such as the Divine Wolf and the Five Elements Sword.
Zongzheng held the fire and turned it to the wall, and found that there were many images of humanoid swords carved on the wall, and there were candlesticks on the wall.
Zong Zheng lit the candles on the wall one by one, and the room was bright for a while.
If you look closely, it turns out that the walls are carved with images all around, including both human body acupuncture points and humanoid sword figures.
Xianjie saw two fist-sized spherical ice cubes at the bottom of the left wall, and the two ice cubes were placed on top of the small stone pillar protruding from the stone slab at the bottom.
Zong Zheng walked over, this ice was not cold at all, but he obviously felt cold when he leaned forward, and when he touched it with his hand, he suddenly froze and became unconscious.
Xianjie's sharp eyes saw that on the stone slab, between the stone pillars, there were a few lines of handwriting.
Zong Zheng leaned over to look at it carefully and read:
"The husband and wife have turned their life's skills on the two ices, and the younger generations of future generations will use this ice to breathe the meridians every day to absorb the power, and the storage of power and ice will be exhausted, and the magic will be completed!"
Back then, after the spiritual power of Nuwa's spirit stone disappeared, there were four major families in the world, 'Emperor Xuantu', 'Heavenly Family' sought the opportunity to connect people with themselves and foreign objects, and strived for the way of martial arts; 'Emperor Family' studied the way of plotting, and later worked specifically for the royal family, 'Xuanjia' was quite proficient in life and death and gossip and easy reasoning; 'Butcher' was good at finding unique things and practicing offensive and defensive magic weapons; this 'Storing Gong Xuanbing' was practiced by the 'Tu Family' selected gurgling ice of the Heavenly Pole, and all skills could be stored in this ice, and there were only three pieces of this ice in existence.
Zong Zheng immediately understood.
"It turns out that this place is spotless, and it is still so cold, which is the reason for the storage of Xuan Bing. ”
Zong Zheng and Xian Jie couldn't help but secretly marvel at themselves at the transformation of the merit to Bing Dark.
"Xian'er, we don't have anything else to do anyway, it's better to practice hard according to the wishes of the two seniors! In the future, you can also avenge your parents!" Zong Zheng said,
"Okay! Brother Zheng, let's practice together!" Speaking of revenge, Xianjie is naturally happy, although she is still young, she can already experience the pain of bereavement, so she is also eager to take revenge in her heart!
Zong Zhengfu took down five more books from the shelves.
"Xian'er, what kind of martial arts do you say to practice first?"
Xian'er remembered that her father was using the kung fu of the Vientiane School, so she pointed to the three books on the right and said, "Let's practice the three books here first!"
Zong Zheng put back the Zongjian sword book on the left, and he checked the three books in his hand.
"Well, I can use these books to teach you more words. ”
As he spoke, Zong Zheng opened the first volume of the Vientiane Update Record, and the syllabus of the exercises read:
Therefore, the practitioner first cultivates the mind, nature, form and virtue, and then supplements the internal strength with the cultivation of qi, and finally penetrates all things with the true qi and internal strength, and controls all things for his own use. The internal strength of Vientiane renewal can be summarized as 'the heart is pure, all things are in the heart, the heart is connected to all things, and all things are renewed.' ”
After reading it, Zong Zheng realized that this book was endlessly mysterious, and couldn't help but sigh to Xianjie: "It seems that your father's martial arts must be very powerful!"
Xianjie was at a loss and didn't understand at all, but when it came to her father's martial arts, she still nodded unconsciously.
Zong Zheng then turned another page:
"The first chapter of mind cultivation, choose a secluded, fresh air place, knees straight, close eyes and inhale deeply, the heart is empty and pure, the qi returns to the dantian, the mind reaches the dantian, the qi out of the broken base is the mind out of the broken base, a breath and an exhale, the heart returns to calm, morning, noon and evening for an hour, not to breathe and the heart is like still water then the mind has been cultivated. ”
The book devotes several pages in a row to attach images of cultivation, and also indicates the acupuncture points of the broken foundation and dantian and the gist of the practice.
Zongzheng read it, although he couldn't understand it all, but he already understood seven or eight points, and when he saw Xianjie's blank face, he was not in a hurry to explain, but he just began to teach Xianjie to read with a book, and explained the essence of these words one by one.
