Excalibur Ruins

Inside the hall, directly opposite the gate is a tall and chic throne, in front of which a richly dressed and extraordinary middle-aged man stands in front of the throne. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But seeing that this person was just over forty years old, with a square face, a high forehead, sword eyebrows, tiger eyes, a jade nose, and a wide mouth, although he was smiling, he did not lose his royal demeanor, everyone guessed that this person was Sikong Zhi, the head of the Tianshan faction. He was flanked by more than forty masters of the Tianshan Sect, and in front of him stood sixteen Han people of different ages. The people in the rivers and lakes are well-informed, and they know that these 16 people are the heads and helpers of the 16 major sects in the Central Plains, and the heads and gangs of the eight major sects such as Huashan, Taishan, Huanshan, Shaolin, Qitong, Emei, Jiuhuashan, and the Beggar Gang stand up with caution. It is not surprising that this Tianshan faction can invite the leaders of the other six factions, but it is really not easy to let the leaders of these eight factions gather together in Tianshan, it seems that Sikong Zhi's face is not small. In fact, everyone didn't know that these sixteen people were all invited by Meng Taihua for the second time, not for the sake of Sikong Zhi's face, but because they didn't want to offend Meng Taihua. In today's martial arts, people's opinion is that they can not take the entire Tianshan faction in their eyes, but don't provoke Meng Taihua, otherwise it will be asking for trouble.

Seeing that everyone had entered the hall, Sikong Zhi arched his hand and said: "Friends have come from afar to participate in the grand inauguration of my Tianshan Sect Yushe, which really makes Xiaodi shine and full of brilliance. As soon as he said that, everyone returned the salute. Sikong Zhi continued: "My Tianshan Sect is located in the Western Regions, it is a bitter cold place, at the beginning of the establishment of the sect, although the Sword Qi Peak is the residence, in fact, it has no name, the disciples mostly live in the Valley of Forgetting Worries under the mountain, and there are only a few thatched huts on the peak. But I Tianshan sect people have a decent place to stay, not afraid of hard work, not tired of the cold, from the beginning of the ancestor of this school on the stone peak of the axe to chisel stone carving, build a house, so far passed down to three generations of more than 50 years, spend countless painstaking efforts, and finally at the beginning of the year the peak of the solid stone into a vast building. Everything you see now is countless Tianshan people with sweat and blood and tears, now our wish has come true, the entire Tianshan faction cheers for it, and is excited, but we feel that this is not enough, our achievements are willing to share with all the people in the martial arts, so I take the liberty of inviting everyone to come to my Tianshan faction grand meeting and share this hard-won joy. Speaking of this, his eyes have been moist, and all the disciples of Tianshan have shed tears, it is really not easy for them to have such a vast place to live today, and everyone is also felt by the hardships he said, and they are impressed by their fighting spirit, and they all applaud, and the applause echoes in the hall for a long time.

In fact, smart people know that Sikong Zhi is lying, such a huge project is impossible for the number of Tianshan disciples to complete, some exquisite carvings are not more than twenty or thirty years of craftsmanship can not do, with the meager strength of the Tianshan faction to complete all this unless the gods and men help, the truth can only be that the Tianshan faction drove a large number of Hu people to do coolies, and robbed a large number of skilled craftsmen to command the fine work, in order to complete this project, I really don't know how many people died here, this looks like a magnificent platformBehind the temple are countless unjust dead spirits.

After everyone's applause subsided, Sikong Zhi said: "Everyone knows that my Tianshan faction is located in the Western Regions, and most of the people who accept it are Hu people, but my Tianshan faction is a branch of the Middle Earth martial arts. The ancestor of this faction originally came from the Central Plains, is a hero who does not live in the world, my master Qiu Longtian before worshipping under the Tianshan Mountains, is a well-known swordsman, I myself grew up in Kaifeng, Henan, my father is the head of the "Lingyue faction" Sikong Jin, eleven years old by my father brought the Tianshan Mountains to worship under the teacher. When everyone heard that he was the son of Sikong Jin of Kaifeng Mansion, they immediately talked about it. The demise of the "Lingyue faction" is a major event that shocked the martial arts more than 30 years ago, when Sikong Jin took over as the head of the family in the name of his father, his brother Sikong abandoned and refused to accept it, and competed for the position, the "Lingyue faction" was divided into two factions and struggled continuously, and then the two of them looked for supporters in the martial arts, ganged up with each other, divided the martial arts into two, and the fight was in full swing, and there was about to happen a martial arts collision, at a critical moment, or the Fengyun family came forward to invite the principals of the major factions to gather together and resolve the dispute. But this is only the martial arts people to stop, the "Lingyue faction" internal struggle has not been broken, the last two factions of the disciples fought hard, although Sikong Jin killed his brother Sikong abandoned, he was also seriously injured, "Lingyue faction" disciples of seven of the ten people died, two were injured and one was alive, the vitality was greatly injured, and it was difficult to support a faction, Sikong Jin was disheartened, and left with his son, and the "Lingyue faction" was removed from the martial arts since then. Although thirty years have passed since this incident, its impact is extremely far-reaching, no matter which sect, as long as there is an internal dispute, it will lead to this matter as a warning to quell the civil strife, so until now, people in the martial arts still know about it.

Sikong Zhi continued: "I tell you this just to illustrate one thing, my Tianshan faction is an inseparable part of the martial arts in Middle-earth, over the years, major events in the martial arts, our faction has all participated, the invitations of all factions have arrived on time, never delayed because of the journey, our faction has never broken off the connection with the martial arts of Middle-earth, all this is obvious to all." ”

One person stood up and said: "Listen to the words of the head of Sikong, but you are going to move the Tianshan faction to Middle-earth? Of course, you are welcome, and from then on, the martial arts will be lively again." ”

Sikong Zhi said: "This friend said that he laughed, how can I give up this foundation that my Tianshan Sect has worked hard for three generations, but to establish one or two rudders in the Central Plains, so that it is more convenient to keep in touch with various sects, and to be familiar with the major events that have happened in the Middle Earth Martial Arts, I have thought about it, but I don't know if you have any objections." ”

The other person said: "This is a good idea, but we agreed that it doesn't matter, your Tianshan Sect is one of the three major sword sects, and if you want to build a rudder in Zhongtu, you need the nod of the Fengyun family and the Nanhai faction." ”

Sikong Zhi frowned slightly, quite dissatisfied with this person's words, but still said with a smile: "This is very true, I also sent an invitation to these two gates, but I don't know if they have sent someone here now." ”

The man said: "They have already come, the Fengyun family is the son of the love jade, and the Nanhai faction is the two brothers Yintao and Wild Tao." ”

Sikong Zhi pretended to be happy and said, "Oh, it turns out that someone has already come, so please come forward and see the three of you." ”

Qingyu, Yintao, and Wild Tao walked out of the crowd. Seeing that the three teenagers were not polite, Sikong Zhi only nodded and said, "I wonder what the three of you think about this proposal?"

Qingyu said: "The sects in the rivers and lakes are constantly changing from time to time, all of this lies in their own ability and development, and how can other sects be influenced, the head of the Sikong sect intends to set foot in Middle-earth, and my Fengyun family has no right to interfere, let alone interfere." ”

Yin Tao and Wild Tao said in unison: "Yes, as long as the head of Sikong has the intention to contribute to the martial arts, it may not be a good thing for us, and my Nanhai faction will not object." ”

Sikong Zhi said: "Then thank you." ”

The three said: "Don't dare to be." "Step aside.

At this time, a disciple stepped forward and said, "Master, everything is ready." ”

Sikong Zhi nodded and said to everyone: "Today is a good day for the completion of my Tianshan Residence, please come, one is to visit the scenery of Tianshan Mountain and the style of the residence, the other is to take this opportunity to pull in everyone's emotions, enhance mutual understanding and respect, and work together for the welfare of martial arts in the future, and the third is to borrow everyone's wisdom and literary color, for the various buildings and palaces of this residence to take a name, I don't know if you are willing to be stingy with literature and style, each is coquettish?"

Everyone said, "This is natural." "In fact, most of the people in the martial arts are vulgar people, and there are very few people who can read and hyphenation, and even fewer people who can be called elegant people, but this can't be said that there is no, at least Qingyu and Yintao should be counted as one each.

Sikong Zhi said: "Then please give you a general name." Everyone was talking, and one person shouted: "It's called Guanghan Palace, it's no longer suitable." ”

Another said: "It's good to call it 'Sword Qi Palace'. ”

But one person laughed and said: "It is extremely cold here that it is more appropriate to combine the names of the two and call it 'Cold Qi Palace'." ”

The rest of the people were all accused, and they shouldn't make this joke, and suddenly one person said: "The martial arts Zhongyuan essay lottery should also be counted as the 'Fengyun family', why not invite the son of Qingyu to take the name?" As soon as this person said, everyone respected Qingyu.

Sikong Zhi said: "Then there is a young man of Lao Qingyu." ”

Qingyu stood up and said: "Don't dare to be." He lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Although the 'Guanghan Palace' is good, the Ruyue Palace is not in the world. Have you ever heard such a legend, the moon palace in the unbearable years, Chang'e and the bachelor Wu Gang became husband and wife, gave birth to a daughter named Yuehua, the world called Yuehua fairy, Wu Gang was happy to cut down the laurel tree with an axe, how do you know that the laurel tree is extremely high, when it falls, it falls into the world, and turns into a big mountain, known as Yuehua Mountain. Some people say that this mountain is in the Tianshan Mountains, and I think that the peak where everyone is located is very similar to Yuehua Mountain, and how about this residence is called 'Yuehua Palace'?" Everyone didn't know that this story was just made up by Qingyu casually to deceive people, and the purpose was just to point out the word "Yuehua".

Sikong Zhi nodded secretly, and said in his heart: "People say that the Fengyun family is talented, so it seems that it is true, if Ying'er was not killed by him, I really want to promise Ying'er to him, and the Fengyun clan will be good for a hundred years, but now I can only kill him." With a wave of his hand, he ordered someone to bring pen and ink and a large wooden plaque to ask for an inscription. Qingyu is not polite, lifting the pen and waving it, the three words "Yuehua Palace" are elegant and elegant, the iron head is high, the pen is sharp, and it immediately attracted a cheer. Sikong Zhi was also very satisfied, let people carry down the stone carved on the stone outside the gate, and then said to everyone: "The outside has prepared two kinds of wine unique to the Tianshan Mountains, please enjoy it freely, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are also prepared in front of each building, and I hope that those who have aspirations will leave one, thinking that he will build a building in the future." ”

When everyone heard that they could watch freely, they first said goodbye and rushed out, and the fresh fruits and wine were prepared outside, and everyone was enjoying the magnificent buildings while eating the fruits and tasting the wine, so happy that they forgot the most important thing in the Tianshan Mountains.

It wasn't until the afternoon, when everyone had finished their tour, that Sikong Zhi summoned everyone back to the temple again and began to deliberate.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Sikong Zhi said: "Friends, I know that everyone has come here not only to participate in the grand event, but more importantly, they may have come to find the sword because they heard the rumor that the divine sword is hidden in the Tianshan Mountains. He knew the true intentions of everyone, and without waiting for everyone to ask questions, he spoke up first.

The crowd did not hide it, so they asked, "Is this rumor true?"

Sikong Zhi said with a smile: "It's both a rumor and something true or false, but I have heard the ancestor say that the ancestor of this sect had a battle with the cold-blooded sword god here at the beginning of the establishment of the sect, and the result is unknown, but after the war, there were many extremely silk sword traces left on the mountain stone, and the ancestor said that it was the sword qi that came to it, so this mountain was named Sword Qi Peak." The ancestor had been to the place where the 'Cold-Blooded Sword God' and the 'Red Edge Sword Demon' fought in Huashan, and he was sure that the sword qi was indeed the sword qi emitted by the divine sword. ”

A few people couldn't wait to ask, "If this is really the case, where is the sword trace now?"

Sikong Zhi said: "When I sent to build the Yushe, I wanted to dig the mountain and dig the stone, and the ancestor ordered someone to chisel it down for the sake of leaving a testament, and it has been preserved to this day." As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and someone came forward carrying four or five stone slabs with uneven surfaces and extremely silk sword marks. In order to find clues to the sword god, these people have all climbed to the top of Huashan and inspected the sword marks left behind, but if you want to say that you can identify the true and false of the sword scars, it is naturally the head of the Huashan faction, Qianqiong, and only his words are authoritative. Everyone looked at it again and again, although it felt very similar, but they didn't dare to make a judgment, and invited Qianqiong to come forward.

Qianqiong examined the sword marks on several stone slabs very carefully, and finally nodded: "These sword marks are indeed left by the divine sword, and the sword marks left by the divine sword are extremely fine, deep and complete, and because the sword qi is invisible, the inner side of the trace is extremely smooth, without a trace of damage and depression, these characteristics are not possible for any skilled craftsman." ”

When everyone heard what he said, they immediately rejoiced, glad that they had not come to the wrong place, but the smart people couldn't help but have questions, and one of them asked: "Master Sikong, why do you want to tell us such an important clue, what is the benefit of this to your Tianshan faction?"

Sikong Zhi sighed: "Everyone doesn't know, this news was originally strictly blocked and never spread, but who knows that there are impermeable walls in the world, and the Tianshan Mountains are so far away from Middle Earth, and in the end they are still known by everyone." I know that from now on, the people in the rivers and lakes will definitely come to the Tianshan Mountains to look for the sword, and they will definitely have a conflict over the matter of the divine sword, and the peace will be greatly injured, to put it seriously, the Tianshan faction is very likely to become a public enemy of the martial arts, and there will be no peace after that. On the other hand, this Tianshan Mountain is too big, the people in my sect have been looking for it for fifty years, and they still have no clue, and I don't know if the sword is not in the Tianshan Mountain, or we haven't found it, and we are indeed tired of looking for it, so this faction invites everyone to come this time, nominally for sightseeing to participate in the grand event, but in fact, it is to announce this news in public, so that you can find the sword. If you find it, it's up to you to decide who will take over, if you don't find it, please also tell other friends in the martial arts that there is no divine sword in Tianshan, and you don't have to look for it again in the future. And our Tianshan Sect will also give up from now on, throw these stone slabs down the mountain, and never mention the matter of the Divine Sword again. ”

Only then did everyone understand his true intentions, and they all nodded, and one of them said: "It takes a long time to find the sword, and it cannot be completed in a day or two. ”

Sikong Zhi said with a smile: "This matter, please rest assured, the issue of food and accommodation, this faction has its own arrangement." Everyone can stay freely in the 'Valley of Forgotten Sorrows' at the foot of the mountain and the 'Yuehua Palace' on the mountain, and the food will be provided by the faction for any time until everyone finds the sword or decides that there is no sword in this place and leaves voluntarily. ”

Everyone applauded when they heard him say this, but some people didn't believe it, because the food and lodging of more than 400 people was not a trivial problem, and his little Tianshan faction could really afford it?
