Although the dark stone chamber is mysterious and weird, for Li Xuan, who has experienced life and death, he has long been not afraid. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 He saw three of the four skeletons in an encircled posture surrounding the cross-legged skeleton in the middle, posing as if they were fighting with it. Although they had been dead for a long time, judging from each other's offensive and defensive postures, the fierceness of the fight was beyond imagination.

Li Xuan circled around several skeletons, and saw that two of them were holding blades when they died, but they were already in different places, and the skeleton in the middle that was attacked and sitting cross-legged was pierced by the stainless steel sword held by another standing skeleton on the periphery. The cross-kneeled skeleton seemed to have extremely high martial arts, although it was pierced through the chest by the opponent's long sword, before dying, he still held the knife in his left hand, and slashed into the throat of the sword-wielding skeleton with an extremely narrow steel knife in his right hand. Perhaps he was exhausted, so the sword, although it was killed with his opponent, did not kill his opponent in the same way that he killed other skeletons.

The stone chamber flickered with the light of the torches, and several skeletons were silent.

Li Xuan was secretly surprised, and turned around several skeletons, and saw that the skeleton's feet were wide in front and back, the foot bones were all symmetrical, and the leg bones were extremely long. He turned to the back of the skeleton and saw a steel needle as thin as a hair being nailed into the third and fourth vertebrae of the cross-kneeled skeleton. The steel needles were shaped like fishbones and embedded deep in his spine. Seven points of strength into the bones, it can be seen that the inner strength of the person who fired the steel needle back then was not trivial.

He looked closely at these two steel needles, although they had passed a long time, they were still black and shiny, and said in his heart: "This skeleton has both toe and back wide, and the foot bones are all weighed, it should be a person who is good at light work...... However, the enemy seems to know that he is good at light skills, so they first crack it with a steel needle, causing his legs to go limp, and then inflict the killer. However, in the early years, who would shoot such a small hidden weapon in the rivers and lakes......" Li Xuan leaned over to take a closer look at the other three skeletons, but saw that their bodies were shriveled and black, and under their weathered ragged clothes were wrapped in a layer of close-fitting armor as thin as mulberry paper. The armor made of this cowhide is extremely precious, it is said that it is the best cowhide, after being soaked and dried in the mysterious black oil of the Western Regions thousands of times, and then rubbed and polished with a fine steel file, it has the effect of protecting the body of metal blades such as knives, swords, feather arrows, flying locusts, and hidden weapons that are not pierced by a hundred piercings and do not rot for thousands of years. Li Xuan said secretly: "I heard that this kind of cowhide armor can only be possessed by the princes of the powerful side, or the emperor, and the high-ranking guards who protect the princes and princes. Nowadays, this kind of close-fitting armor has long been replaced by gold silk soft armor due to the complex production process and the fact that it must rely on the Hu people of the Western Regions. ”

Li Xuanxin said: "Are these three people the masters of the Ouchi Emperor?" As soon as his mind moved, he gently picked up the clothes of one of the skeletons with pine wood, and before he could take a closer look, he heard the sound of 'dang', and a waist card made of brass fell down.

He leaned over to pick it up, and saw that the front of the waist card read: Qin Ci first-class Xiaoguo Warrior, and on the back it read: Chen Xiaoyun, the deputy leader of the five mansions inside and outside. Earlier in the earthen temple on the top of the mountain, Li Xuan had seen Zhuge Dongfang show Xie Muqing a waist card, and his size and appearance were almost the same as this waist card, and he said in his heart: "These three people are really people sent by the imperial court, and their official positions are not small...... I remember that Long Hongye once said that Dugu Changfeng, the chief manager of the five mansions inside and outside, and his son Dugu Hong were ordered to pursue the treasure source secrets, could it be that this Chen Xiaoyun deputy leader is also one of the people who was ordained......" After a little contemplation, he stepped forward to take a closer look at the posture of the cross-knee skeleton, and was slightly shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "This person has a sharp shot, neat moves, he must have been a famous sword master in the rivers and lakes before his death, if it weren't for this, he would not have killed three opponents so quickly with a knife style?"

Li Xuan stared at these skeletons blankly, stared for a long time, and suddenly felt an unprecedented weirdness rise in his heart, and muttered to himself: "This cross-knee skeleton has inconvenient legs, and it must be injured first." Why did these three people refuse to let go of an injured person...... "He groaned slightly, pulled out the Devil May Cry Sword, used the sword as a knife, imitated the moves of the cross-knee skeleton, and tried to practice, but he didn't expect his dantian to surge, 'snort', the sound of breaking the sky echoed in the hole, and the Devil May Cry Sword in his hand seemed to have become a fast knife. After the knife type is deployed, it is full of vigor and surprise.

With one move in his own hand, it is so powerful!

Li Xuan was pleasantly surprised, but when he sat cross-legged on the ground and imitated the cross-knee skeleton to re-use this move, his intuition was extremely difficult, and he said in his heart: "He is cross-legged on the ground, and he can't dodge, but he can cut off the two enemies with a knife, it seems that if he is not seriously injured, his strength is difficult to sustain, and the skeleton standing with a sword wants to stab him to death with a sword, but he can't." What kind of knife technique is this, how can it be so powerful?"

The more he looked, the more curious he became, and when he saw the cross-knee skeleton's arm flipped, the blade turned out and stabbed obliquely, the angle of which was not only tricky and weird, but also incredible, and couldn't help but praise it. Just as he could see the gods, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and blurted out: "How can the move of holding a knife skeleton be so similar to the 'boundless' in the 'Streamer Snow Moon Knife Technique'...... No, it's not similar, it's definitely not similar...... This is the Boundless Knife Style!"

The most important thing is the moment of the knife, and the pace must be changed three times in a row to be infinitely powerful. Now, the skeleton holding the knife is not moving, and there is no step to cooperate, and it can still use the 'boundless' move! If this person is not a master in the Jiuhua Mountain Baisheng Sword Sect, who else in the rivers and lakes can use the essence of this move?

Li Xuan muttered, "This ...... Who is this person? Could it be that he has a deep connection with the Yum Sword Sect?" he became more and more surprised, and he approached the sword-wielding skeleton with a torch, up and down, and looked at it carefully. But this skeleton has been dead for seven or eight years, and if it weren't for the cool and cold in the stone chamber, the body is easy to preserve, and the skeleton may have become a white bone long ago. He sighed secretly, and was slightly disappointed to see that there was no trace of value, and was about to turn around and search elsewhere, when he inadvertently looked down and found that there seemed to be blurred handwriting on the dusty ground. He leaned over and gently brushed away the dust on the ground, and when he raised the fire, he saw that it was a few lines of intermittent crooked and blurred words, dipped in blood.

The handwriting is dark red and looming.

Li Xuan looked at it and read slowly: "Dragon...... Faithless, unwilling, peaceful...... despicable, hurting people secretly, ruining my heart's work, posterity...... You can go to the ear chamber and find ...... Rucksack...... Bury my remains, to be cultivated to avenge me......" Some of the handwriting is blurred, faded over time, and the writing is too sloppy, so it is difficult to read.

He pondered for a moment, then said secretly, "These lines are written on the left side of the cross-kneeled skeleton, and it should be that he was unable to pull the knife out of the throat of the sword-wielding skeleton before he died, so he had no choice but to scribble with his left hand dipped in the blood that flowed from his own blood. But who is despicable in these few words? Long, An...... Is it a man, or is it a gang? It seems that it will take his rucksack to find out what is going on in the ear chamber. ”

Li Xuan walked out of the stone room, turned around a few times, and arrived at the ear room.

He had been to this chamber before, and he had seen dozens of stone chests hewn from solid stone, as well as strange pottery bones, pearl jade, and coral jade scattered all over the ground. Now that I turned back, I knew that the backpack that the cross-knee skeleton said must be in it, so I checked it very carefully.

Li Xuan opened the first few stone boxes on the left, and saw that there were some pearls and jade artifacts that he had never seen, under the brilliance, even people who didn't know knew it knew that it was extremely valuable, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "These generals and princes, who were extremely luxurious during their lifetimes, didn't care about the people's livelihood, always did whatever it took to search for the world's treasures, but only enjoyed them for decades, and were reluctant to let go until they died, and brought them into the tomb, but they didn't know that the dead were like the wind blowing out the lamp, what is the use of staying!"

After a while, he opened the third stone box on his right, and saw that there was indeed a rhino skin backpack in it, so he took it out and opened it, and saw that there were two thin scrolls and a cowhide bag in it. Inside the kraft bag was a pile of yellowed pages with handwriting, Li Xuan glanced at it, skipped it, and took an album in his backpack, and saw that it was a volume of "Wild News of the Ages".

Li Xuan once heard the 'Old Man of Tianji' Sha Banyan talk about this album, and knew that it was a strange book written by a strange man a hundred years ago. The strange book not only lists the characteristics, efficacy, and wonderful use of the strange flowers and plants, strange insects and beasts in the world, but also analyzes and talks about the human body's qi and blood meridians. He took another scroll and looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that this volume with rough handwriting and poor binding was actually "The Secret Guide of the Treasure Source". Li Xuan's heart was beating wildly, and he said in his heart: "Hasn't the treasure source secret book been broken into four parts by the Mo gang leader Shangguan Xiaoxiong and scattered in the rivers and lakes? Why is there another treasure source secret book here......

He saw that the paper of the scroll was slightly moldy, so he carefully opened it and found that the handwriting in the scroll was the same as the handwriting on the cover, not only the dragon and the phoenix dancing, but also extremely sloppy. On the light of the torch, Li Xuanjian wrote on the first page of the opening chapter, "Baoyuan martial arts, the way of the source, must be moved to nourish qi first...... If you have not moved your muscles and nourished your qi, you should not force your practice. Remember!'. He secretly said in his heart: "These words are really the same as those recorded in Long Hongye's notes, it seems that this volume is true." ”

Li Xuan looked down and saw that the handwriting and graphics behind him were sometimes scribbled, sometimes steady...... It doesn't look like a scripture written by a monk at all, which is really quite strange. However, judging by the handwriting, the handwriting in the scroll is written by the same person. The more he looked at it, the more strange it became, and he took a cursory look at the treasure source secret book, and saw that it was full of methods on how to meditate and practice qi. He had seen the notes left by Long Hongye in the cave before, and there were also some things about her experience when she practiced the second and third chapters of the Treasure Source Secret Book, and at this time, he secretly compared it and saw that the cultivation method he said was indeed similar to it.

He exhaled, feeling that what he had encountered here was even more strange than that of falling off a cliff and not dying, and he also faintly felt that the cross-kneeled skeleton seemed to have some kind of mysterious connection with him! Is this an illusion, or is it an arrangement in the dark? Li Xuan calmed down for a while, and when he saw that the torches were about to run out, he took the rhino skin rucksack and turned all the way back to the crack hole.

Back in the hole of the rift, Li Xuan saw that everything in the cave was the same, but for some reason, his heart was always beating suddenly and inexplicably. After a long time, although he was in a much calmer mood, he still couldn't understand why the cross-knee skeleton in the cave made the Streamer Snow Moon Knife Technique, and there was still the "Treasure Source Secret" that three generations of emperors competed for. The more I thought about it, the more upset I became, I got up and came to the entrance of the cave on the rock wall, and saw that the sky was dark, the cool night sky was full of stars, the bright moon as round as a silver plate hung high in the sky, the mountain cliff was as bright as day, and all the scenery was the same, so I couldn't help but think: "Maybe many years ago, it was also such a night, there was a four-person fight in the stone room in the cave, and finally they all died together and disappeared...... The dead are gone, but the living are still alive......" He smiled bitterly, and remembered that Duan Xiaotian had entrusted him to deliver the rich and noble dart bamboo pipe that everyone was fighting for to Mr. Li Mi Li before the cliff fell off the cliff, and he couldn't help but sigh and said to himself: "If I am not mistaken, today should be August 15! It seems that although I am alive, I cannot fulfill Brother Duan's request." I felt sad in my heart, and I couldn't help but think of my deceased parents, because my mother's birthday was also August 15.

Li Xuan remembers that every day on this day, his father would arrange for the servant chef to cook a few delicate side dishes to celebrate his mother's birthday in the back garden full of the fragrance of osmanthus flowers. At that time, the mother would step out of the house where she lived alone, show a rare smile, and even when she was happy, she would gently hold him in her arms and raise a glass to drink with her father...... Thinking of his mother, his heart couldn't help but tighten, looking at the full moon hanging high, a thick sadness overflowed in his heart, and secretly called: "Mother, are you okay underground?"

The wind is soft, the cliffs are quiet, and the full moon seems fuller and brighter.

Li Xuan was melancholy for a while, his mood calmed down a lot, he took out the treasure source secret book from his bosom and took a closer look, and said secretly: "If Shangguan Xiaoxiong really divided the treasure source secret book into four back then, and finally scattered it in the rivers and lakes, then what does the appearance of this treasure source secret book mean?"

After thinking for a while, he muttered: "I once heard that there was a sword master in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, who was young to avenge his father, incognito, endured humiliation, and threw himself into the door of the enemy who killed his father, and it took ten years to learn the other party's peerless swordsmanship...... After being anxious, he left the door of the enemy who killed his father, and made a handwritten copy of the tricks he had learned, and compared them with others to find a way to solve them...... Ten years later, he finally found a way to crack it, and he came to the door again and killed the entire family of the enemy. ”

When he thought of this, his heart suddenly lit up, and he secretly thought, "Could it be that this treasure source secret book is a handwritten scroll?" Yes...... Everyone who practices martial arts will have a temptation that is difficult to refuse for peerless martial arts. For example, in the few years that Shangguan Xiaoxiong and the others obtained the secret book, although they had never practiced it, there must have been some people who were difficult to control themselves, and even stole it from the guards, so they secretly recorded this secret book and practiced it secretly. Now look at this treasure source secret book volume, not only the handwriting is sloppy, and many of the characters' meditation and painting are mostly depicted in simple strokes, and the lines are not beautiful. It is estimated that the handwriting of the person who copied it back then may have been scribbled due to time constraints......"

Thinking of this, Li Xuan raised his hand and patted his head, secretly scolded himself for being stupid, and said to himself: "Isn't there a pile of yellowed pages in that rucksack? Is the secret ......in those pages?" Thinking so, he hurried back to the cave, took the pages from the cowhide rucksack, and read them carefully in the bright moonlight, page by page.
