It is said that in the Imperial Court of the Snow Country, since the completion of this palace, there is an irregular black large iron block, in order to place this thing, the Snow Country Royal Family specially built a majestic palace in the corner of the palace, and there is only this huge iron in it. Although the lavish palace was built in the corner and seemed very discordant, the royal family members of the past generations had a respectful attitude towards the lump of iron, and no one ever had any resentment against the palace, but no one sent anyone to protect it.

There is a large plaque hanging on the door of the palace, which reads "Shenxue Palace", and the black iron is called "Shenxue Demon Iron".

There is no exact statement in the palace about the origin of this Shenxue Demon Iron, and the historians went to consult the collection of books and got two kinds of records.

First, the palace was just started to be built here, and when it was excavated, this piece of demon iron was dug up in a corner.

Second, after the completion of the palace, the heavy snow demon iron fell from the sky and smashed a small hall in a corner of the palace.

Although the statements are different, they all point to the address of the Shenxue Temple.

But this can't afford the name of demon iron. After all, if you look at it this way, it's either a piece of iron ore or a piece of meteoric iron. The peculiarity of this iron has to start after it appeared.

In the snow country of Lang Lang Vicious Dog, we don't have to worry about the specific time, in short, there is still a long time before Ye Pei is born.

"Brothers, according to my friend who is on an errand in the palace, he once heard the emperor say that in the big hall in the northeast corner of the palace, the things placed in the palace are extremely important, and there is no one to guard, with our skills, is it not easy?" said a lean man with an obscene appearance by the candle flame in a small room.

That sounds like a problem. Sure enough, someone next to him immediately asked, "Hey, what does it mean to be easy?

"Smack!" another man immediately gave him a slap, "What the hell!"

Later, the man asked the lewd man, "What kind of errand did your friend do in the palace, and how did he hear the emperor say this?"

The lewd man hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "He, uh, he is the ...... in the palace"

The man suddenly understood in his heart and said, "Is he from the emperor's side?"

"It's not...... It was to serve a lady, and once I heard the emperor talking to that lady and knew about it. The lewd man said.

"Then how do you know if your news is true or not? That's the palace, and it's about our heads. ”

"Hey, don't worry, I have a good relationship with that friend, and he won't lie to me. ”

"What if? Let's go and get a few big families, let alone a few thousand taels of silver? Why take the risk!"

"Hey, this ticket is really capable, I ......"

"That's it, although we are good, but the palace is not a simple place, not only will the head fall to the ground if something happens, but the reputation of the rivers and lakes for so many years will also be gone!"

"But ......"

"yes, I also think let's stop doing it, let's ......"

Except for the lewd man, the other four didn't want to touch the things in the palace, and the lewd man was so overwhelmed that he couldn't say a word for a while. This happened until the lewd man yelled:

"Three thousand taels of gold!"

These terrifying five words made the four people suddenly lose their voices, and the lewd man took a breath, and said: "I went to the black market and asked the price, and they said that the things in the palace can be obtained, and one thing can get up to three thousand taels!

"Good!"

"It's done!"

......

In this way, on the night of three days later, the famous five thieves of the flowers on the rivers and lakes quietly approached the northeast corner of the palace.

"It looks like there's really no guards here. ”

I saw that the five people gave each other a look, each took out a hook and rope, and climbed the three-zhang palace wall after dividing five by two.

On the palace wall, you can see the majestic Shenxue Palace, in the surrounding low and partial halls, the Shenxue Palace is even taller.

In the moonlight, the name of the temple on the plaque seemed to shimmer with jet-black brilliance?

The five thieves who were eager for money didn't notice this, and besides, under the cover of night, those few black lights were not obvious.

Under the operation of several people pulling hemp rope first and sticking to the palace wall, with the assistance of soft boots attached to the feet, the five people fell to the ground silently.

After landing, the eyes of the five people showed surprise, if nothing else, the door of the Shenxue Hall was actually open.

Suddenly, the five of them hesitated, wondering if they were being targeted by the imperial court, so they made this plan to trap them.

The lewd man felt that his face was very unbearable at this time, and out of trust in his eunuch friend, he jumped forward and rushed towards the Shenxue Palace. The companion behind hurriedly tried to pull him back, but it was too late.

Unexpectedly, the lewd man entered the Shenxue Palace, and there was no accident.

Seeing this, the other four exchanged glances and hurriedly followed.

In the main hall, there is indeed only one thing, that is, the Shenxue Demon Iron placed on the stone platform in the middle of the main hall, and there is nothing else.

After several people searched around the hall, they confirmed that there was indeed only the big piece of iron here, and in desperation, three people went to move the piece of iron, and the other two confirmed the safety of retreating.

Unexpected again, as soon as the three people who moved the things got started, they found that the iron was not as heavy as they imagined.

None of the five of them saw it, and at the moment it was moved, one of the lines of the demon iron seemed to rise slightly, and then fell silent, and even I wasn't sure if it happened.

Soon, the two people who were exploring the way had already left the main hall and returned the gesture of safety, and the other three carried the demon iron and quickly walked to the temple gate.

On the night of July 5, 500 in the calendar, a burst of black smoke rose out of thin air at the Shenxue Palace, and then quickly dissipated.

No one knew what happened at the moment when the three of them who moved the demon iron walked to the door of the Shenxue Palace. After that, in less than half an hour, there were palace spies here, and the Shen Xue Demon Iron was placed in the center of the main hall, as usual.

There are five thieves who have spent flowers, there is no news, no one is alive, and no corpse is dead.

............

On April 7, 578 in the calendar, a giant tiger suddenly appeared in the palace, and when the queen was about to be injured, he was injured by the guards, and fled into the Shenxue Hall under the siege of all the soldiers.

......

On June 20, 623 in the general calendar, it was sunny, but there was no light in the area of the Shenxue Temple, but there were no clouds on it. On that day, the birds on the top of the main hall died violently, and returned to normal the next day.

- "History of the Snow Garden"

............

So far has the history gone, and now we are talking about the past.

That year, Ye Pei was ten years old.

In the second year of the new emperor's accession to the throne, on his birthday, Ye Linhui and his son were invited to the palace for a banquet.

Here I want to mention the relationship between the new emperor and Ye Linhui. The new emperor is nine years younger than Ye Linhui, when he was still the prince, and when he was about to learn martial arts at the age of six, the fifteen-year-old Ye Linhui was already the youngest pioneer officer in the dynasty, so the prince's martial arts were taught by Ye Linhui.

When Ye Linhui took Ye Pei into the palace for the new emperor's twenty-first birthday, Ye Pei also met the eldest prince who was just two years old.

At the banquet, the emperor proposed that Ye Pei would teach him martial arts when the eldest prince grew up, but Ye Pei refused after two seconds of careful consideration.

But in fact, Ye Pei did try to teach the eldest prince martial arts later, but the fact is that the eldest prince was not interested in this.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, everyone took a walk in the garden.

According to the height of the Shenxue Palace, surrounded by the surrounding side halls, it is completely a situation of standing out from the crowd. Therefore, it was not long before Ye Pei saw this palace like no other.

After hearing Ye Pei's idea of going there to have a look, the emperor hesitated for two seconds. Seeing this, Ye Linhui said: "Your Majesty, if it's inconvenient, don't go, why be so embarrassed." ”

Hearing this, the emperor smiled and said, "The master said that he was laughing. It's not a hidden place, it's just a few strange things happening. ”

Hearing this, Ye Pei became even more interested. At his strong request, everyone went to the Shenxue Hall together.

As soon as he entered the Shenxue Palace, the emperor felt slightly different from usual, in the past, when he entered here, there was always a feeling of coldness but not cold, but this time there was no uncomfortable feeling, and even some warmth.

As soon as they entered the door, the attention of Ye Linhui's father and son was naturally attracted by the demon iron. Ye Linhui strode over and asked, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

The emperor replied: "This is the monster that appeared when the palace was established, as long as it is taken away from the range of this Shenxue Palace, the person who takes it out will die on the spot, and the corpse will turn into ashes and scatter with the wind, so the ancestor will place it in this palace, and no one will guard it, only inform the people who enter the palace that this place is a royal forbidden place." I also hope that the master and the junior brother will keep it secret for me. ”

"That's fine. Does that mean it's okay if you don't take it out?" Ye Linhui walked closer and looked at the irregular iron road.

"Yes. The Emperor replied.

Ye Linhui touched the demon iron, a cold feeling, and said, "Let me see this demon iron!" After speaking, he tried to lift the demon iron with both hands.

But...... Didn't move.

"What?!"

At this time, the emperor and Ye Linhui himself exclaimed in their hearts. Ye Linhui never expected that his family would not be able to move a small piece of iron. And the emperor was even more surprised in his heart, after all, the ordinary soldiers below generally only need two people to lift this demon iron, and it is very easy to lift this thing by himself, and the master's martial arts are world-famous, and the strength is not to say, how can he not move this thing?

Seeing Ye Linhui retreating with a puzzled expression, the emperor stepped forward to make a move, not wanting the demon iron that could be easily lifted today to bear his full strength and not move at all.

Ye Pei was playful at this time, and saw that his father and the emperor had no way to take this thing, so he also went up and touched it with the mentality of playing.

"Wow, is this piece of iron so comfortable to touch?" Ye Pei exclaimed as soon as he made contact.

And Ye Linhui and the emperor on the side were even more stunned, the cold and stiff feel of the demon iron was definitely not comfortable, what was going on with this kid.

And Ye Pei only felt that this demon iron was as warm as a piece of warm jade at this time, and he liked it for a while, and as soon as he raised his hand, he picked up this Shenxue demon iron.

The two next to them were about to pop their eyes out.

At this time, in addition to surprise, there was a sentence in their hearts that kept echoing.

"Am I not as strong as this ten-year-old child......

"Hey, Emperor, father, are you kidding me, this is not heavy at all!" Ye Pei was also a little puzzled.

The emperor and Ye Linhui also found a problem, it was definitely not because of their own strength, but because there was a problem with the demon iron.

"Senior brother, put that monster down!" the emperor hurriedly shouted.

Ye Linhui was even more direct, and when he came over, he wanted to snatch the big iron piece that Ye Pei was carrying in his hand.

Ye Pei's heart was different at this time, so she shouted softly with her feelings: "Gun!"

"Aang—"

Before Ye Linhui got close, he was blocked by an invisible force, and a loud dragon roar faintly sounded in the hall!

I saw that in Ye Pei's hand, the big black iron was gone, and it was replaced by a shiny black spear.

When they walked out of the palace that day, only these few people knew that there was a belt sword hidden in Ye Pei's belt, named Shenxue Demon Iron.
