The next day, the tenth day of the sword search, everyone returned to the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows according to the pre-agreed agreement. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info people have been coming back one after another since the morning, but they didn't arrive until noon. As soon as the number of people was counted, sixteen people had been damaged in the mountains, either accidentally falling from the water and falling to their deaths, or they were injured by poisonous snakes and beasts, and those who came back were also dejected and dejected, and it was really rare for people to be injured without a little injury.

Meng Taihua knew that everyone had found nothing, but he deliberately asked, "I don't know what you have gained, but there are new clues?"

Everyone was noisy and scolding, these ten days over the mountains and mountains, through the forest into the hole, dark water, wild beasts are not rare, eat well during the day, sleep restlessly at night, all are about to be tossed to death, the result is not the slightest clue, the heart of the depressed do not need to mention.

Meng Taihua smiled secretly in his heart, but said in his mouth: "You don't have to hide it from each other, you can say it if you have a harvest, and share it with everyone, although it is in the territory of our Tianshan faction, my Tianshan faction will also abide by the agreement, and I will not offend so many heroes of the Central Plains." ”

As a result, there was another scolding, some people shouted that they wanted to go home and never come to this ghost place again, some people shouted, they just wanted to go back to their wives and children, and never look for the sword again, and some reckless people who were outspoken and reckless said menacingly: "Whoever looks for the sword in front of Lao Tzu in the future, Lao Tzu will scold his eighteenth generation ancestor and then kill him." As a result, he was beaten violently.

Meng Taihua stopped everyone: "Since the divine sword has not been found, it is nothing, everyone should just come here for sightseeing and play, don't care, but I don't know if everyone is still interested in looking for it?" Everyone shook their heads like a wave drum, and no one wanted to look for it again. Meng Taihua said: "The family teacher is deeply grateful to you for being able to go to the Tianshan Mountain, knowing that everyone has worked hard, and specially prepared a feast on the mountain, hoping that everyone can enjoy the light." Everyone had long lost the interest they had when they came, and no one wanted to climb a high mountain to have a meal, but it was not good to show that Meng Taihua was unhappy, so they fought silently.

Meng Taihua smiled lightly and said: "I see that everyone is really tired, so let's stay here, and then go back to the Central Plains after the rectification, but I want to inform the world that there is no divine sword in Tianshan, I hope that no one will be tired in vain in the future, and I will let people send food down the mountain." ”

Everyone muttered to themselves in their hearts: "Your Tianshan Sect proves that there is no divine sword, and no one will scratch it in the future, we will be tired and miserable, this is too unfair." "It's quite bitter to be played like a monkey.

I don't know who in the crowd suddenly whispered to the people next to him: "The peak where the Tianshan Sect is located, we don't seem to have looked for it yet, do you think the divine sword will be on this mountain?"

The person next to me woke up from a dream and shouted, "Yes, I didn't expect that we had searched for so many places, but we missed the most likely places." ”

The people around heard the conversation between the two, and passed it to the fourth person, so that it was passed on to the hundreds, and everyone heard it before they raised their feet to leave, and one of them saw that Meng Taihua was leaving, and shouted: "I think I should go to this banquet, the head of the Sikong family treats us well, but I am disrespectful to his hospitality." When the others heard this, they all agreed, although everyone scolded fiercely, they still wanted to get the sword in their hearts, besides, so many mountains have been found, and they don't care about this one more mountain.

Meng Taihua said: "Thank you so much for your love to my Tianshan faction, I will go up the mountain first, so that the junior disciples are ready to greet them, and everyone will come later." "Bow your hand and leave first.

Everyone was about to rush up, but one of them shouted: "Everyone, slow down, please listen to me, the sword qi peak where the Tianshan faction is located is not big, and it is not small to say, if we look for it separately from the bottom of the mountain, we will definitely waste time, miss the banquet, and make the host unhappy." In my opinion, we divided our troops into three routes and went up the mountain from three different directions, so that we could find a more comprehensive situation and not waste time. Moreover, we can't find it when we go up the mountain, and we can still look for it when we go down the mountain, and we are not in a hurry at this time. ”

Another said: "Well, what Your Excellency said is good, and I agree with it. He took the lead, and the others could not express any objections, but they all agreed, so they divided into three paths according to the equal number of people, and went up the mountain from three different directions.

The main road up the mountain is in the east, has been walked twice, it is not very likely, so it is from the west, south, north three sides of the path to climb the mountain, everyone can not walk too slowly, and do not want to miss any possible clues, all eyes are open, in front of a small insect flying, all want to see if there is engraved on the word "sword".

When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, everyone was already tired enough, and one of the people in the west team sat on the ground and scolded: "Lao Tzu will never look for it anymore, Lao Tzu will go home, and Lao Tzu will not go to any bullshit banquet." ”

Everyone was already surprised by his complaints and scolding, and they smiled lightly and continued to search, but one of them was not happy, and shouted: "You fucking get out of here, everyone is tired and tired to find, you can be lazy with your fucking words, it's not so cheap." "Go and pull him up.

The man scolded earlier, "You dog is nosy with rats, what do I have to do with you sitting and leaving, and I didn't sell it to you, can you manage it?"

The second person immediately became angry and scolded: "I'm going to take care of you today." Hu punched over, and the previous person was not a fuel-efficient lamp, but jumped up with a kick, and the two of them fought with fists and feet.

It is common to do things for quarrels, and everyone doesn't care, some look for swords, and some stop and judge the martial arts of the two. The more fierce the two became, the previous big man kicked the opponent out of the air, and crashed straight into the mountain rock next to him, on which was a layer of dense vines, and the man fell into it with a roar, and a cave appeared behind the vines. Everyone's eyes lit up, and their eyes stared straight at the "oh" sound, as if the Excalibur was in the cave.

The man who was kicked away rushed out of the cave in a rage and scolded: "Lao Tzu fought with you today, either you die or I die." pounced, but saw that everyone's eyes were on him, and said that he had accidentally committed public anger, and hurriedly said: "I won't fight, I won't fight, what does he like." But everyone's eyes still did not turn away, and he realized that everyone was not looking at himself, but behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was a cave, and he was also stunned, and shouted: "Yes...... There's a hole. ”

One said: "Go in and have a look." "Choked out the waist knife and entered first. Not to be outdone, the crowd followed closely, but they only walked five or six feet before there was no way. However, the rock wall in front of them looked like a secret door, and everyone invariably lit a fire and found a mechanism. One of the people touched a corner of the stone, felt that he could move, shook it a few times, and the door rumbled open, and inside was a natural cave, and everyone was surprised, and they did not care about any danger, and rushed in.

Almost at the same time as the West Road, the North and South Roads were also discovered. In the South Road team, a big man was walking, and suddenly an exclamation of "ah" disappeared. When they heard the shout, they looked back, and saw a big hole in the ground, and they wondered why they didn't notice it when they passed by. One of them shouted to the cave, "Hey, man, are you alright?"

The big man scolded: "Lao Tzu is about to be thrown to death, how can it be okay, you can try it yourself." ”

The person above scolded: "Why didn't God have long eyes and didn't drop your turtle son to death inside?" As soon as he finished speaking, a steel knife flew up with a whoosh, cutting a bloody wound at the base of the man's neck.

The man cried out, "Mother." "Scared into a cold sweat. Everyone shouted to the cave: "Why did you suddenly hurt people with a knife, do you want to come up?"

The big man scolded: "Lao Tzu likes this, what's the matter, what can you do with me, you have the ability to jump down and scrape Lao Tzu." ”

Everyone got angry and scolded, "Let him rot in the hole, let's go." They all turned away, thinking that if they left the boy in the cave and scared him, and came back to save him, he would learn to be more obedient in the future.

After walking a short distance, suddenly the wounded man cried out, "No, why didn't he beg us for mercy and didn't cry for help? ”

Everyone was clever, and they all thought, could it be that the kid found a clue in the cave, let us go, and he himself is so alone? passed a look to each other, and tacitly walked towards the entrance of the cave, only to see that the cave had been lit up with fire, and the big man was groping around in the cave, as if he had not found anything, and pointed and scratched on the cave rock, and said to himself: "Hell, why can't you open it?"

Seeing this, the people above couldn't help but shout, "Hey, man, what did you find?"

The man jumped up in shock and said, "No...... It's nothing, it's nothing, just find a rope to pull me up. ”

The wounded man asked, "Is there really nothing?"

The big man scolded: "It's you again, don't you want to die, don't you get out of here?"

The injured man scolded: "You hurt Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu hasn't taken care of your account yet, what are you murderous, tell me quickly, what did you find?"

The big man said, "What did you find out about your...... Besides, it's nothing. ”

The injured man sneered: "Since it's nothing, I'm going to take revenge." "Moving a boulder from the side of the road is going to fall into the hole.

The big man in the cave was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't mess around, don't mess around, I said, I said, you put down the stone, I said." ”

The injured man said: "If I put it down, you will die, don't say it quickly." ”

The big man in the cave bowed his head and said, "There is something that looks like a stone gate, but it's just ...... It's just that I can't open it. ”

When the people heard this, they rejoiced, and when they saw that the bottom of the cave was still big, the four men shouted, "Get out of the way, and we will come down and help you." "Jumping into the cave, there is really a door on the wall of the cave, and the five people went around looking for it in the cave, but they didn't find anything for a long time, and they were very disappointed.

One said: "Look for it when you come back, just don't tell the other two teams." Someone lowered the rope and pulled the four people up.

The big man who fell was left at the end, grabbed the rope and was about to climb up, when the top of his head suddenly darkened, and the injured man scolded: "You dare to hurt Lao Tzu and smash you to death." With a whirl, the boulder fell on his head.

The big man watched the big stone smash down, and he was so frightened that he shouted: "My old lady." He jumped backwards, leaning against the rock wall, and the boulder grazed his nose and slammed to the bottom of the cave with a thud. There was a clatter, the bottom of the cave sank, the stone gate fell down with a bang, and the injured man shouted in surprise: "The stone gate is open, the stone gate is open." The crowd cheered and jumped into the bottom of the cave, and when they looked at the big man again, they were already frightened and fell to the ground.

The north road is the most difficult to find because it is behind the mountains and the sun is blocked by the high mountains. By the time they reached the mountainside, they were so tired that they were panting like oxen, and they sat down in a large area. A little old man said in a hoarse voice as if he wanted to breathe fire, "It would be nice to have a sip of water to drink now! ”

The other said, "Yes, I'm dying of thirst, the water ...... Water...... Water ......"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man shouted: "Don't make noise, everyone, listen carefully, there seems to be the sound of water." ”

As soon as everyone heard that there was water, they suddenly quieted down, and sure enough, they heard the sound of water not far away, and their hearts were filled with joy, and they all stood up and ran in the direction of the sound of water, and they didn't care about any divine sword anymore.

Turning a mountain rock, the sound of trickling water sounded, and a waterfall flew down from the stone cave on the mountain wall, and the water splashed in the pool, so it was not spectacular. The crowd cheered and poured into the pool to drink, and when they had drunk enough and washed, several young people actually started a water fight, which caused everyone on the shore to laugh. One young man was overwhelmed by the other three youths, lowered his head and sank into the water, scooped up a rock, and shouted, "I'll kill you." "Threw it.

The four of them were close to each other, and the young man didn't really want to hurt the three of them, so he threw them very lightly, and the three of them reached out to catch them, and said with a smile: "Give it back to you." At the same time, he pushed and threw it. I didn't want the stone to smash into the young man's head very accurately, and the three of them panicked, only to see that the young man, his body sank down as if he was squatting in the water, and his palms pushed upwards violently, and he hit the stone with a bang, and the stone immediately bounced out and landed on the shore. Everyone couldn't help but shout hello, and the three of them were very busy and came forward to apologize, and the young man laughed and said, "It's a piece of cake, even if it's a stone ten times bigger, I can pop it out for him." But because of the blow just now, his palms have turned red, which is obviously bragging.

A man on the shore looked at the stones that had fallen to the ground and suddenly exclaimed, "Look, there are words on this stone." ”

A person next to him said disapprerovingly: "There are many stones with words, what's the fuss." ”

The man said, "Have you ever seen a stone engraved with the words 'Sword Washing Pool'?"

As soon as everyone heard the word "sword", they all associated it with the sword, and suddenly came to the spirit and rushed forward, only to see that the smooth side of the stone was indeed engraved with the words "sword washing pool", and it seemed that it was very old from the wear and tear of the handwriting. Pick it up and turn it, and there are some small characters engraved on the back, which read, "I walked into the martial arts with cold blood, and killed more, although I cut the red devil under the sword, I can't pay for the sins, and now I wash the blood stains of the double sword in this pool, and also wash the blood stains in my heart, seal the sword and close myself, and die in the mountains and forests."

Everyone passed the stones around, and they all said to themselves: "Cold-blooded, red devil, double sword, sealed sword, is it ...... Could it be ......" is already obvious, cold-blooded is both cold-blooded sword, red demon is red blade sword demon, and the double sword is two cups of divine sword. After a lot of hard work, everyone finally found a clue, and they couldn't believe it.

One said: "There may be clues in this pool, let's look for it again." When they heard this, they all rushed into the pool.

The man said: "It's too chaotic for us to rush up like this, and it's not easy to find, so let's just let the four people go into the water and look for it again." The four of them jumped into the pool with joy, and everyone stood on the shore and stretched their necks, staring at the pool, which was really a bit of a taste of longing.

The four young men drilled up and down in the water, groped for a long time, and finally fished up a small stone, which was engraved on it: "My heart is dead, and the sword will go with me." "Hand it ashore.

Everyone circulated it again, and they were quite disappointed. One person scolded: "His grandmother's, if you want to die, you will die, why do you talk so much nonsense, and you don't say anything serious." With a flick of his hand, the stone flew into the pool.

The four young men stood in the water and said, "Are we still looking for it? ”

Everyone said: "That's it, that's it, you guys come up, I hope the other two teams can have a harvest." Let's go to the banquet first, and then come back and continue to look for it, we are all dying of hunger, and the old man can figure it out, put the food on the top of the mountain, so that we have to climb a big mountain for a meal, damn it, it's really annoying, let's go. ”

As soon as everyone turned around to leave, Jinghui, the old abbot of the Shaolin faction, stood up and said, "Everyone is slow, I feel that there is something wrong with this waterfall." ”

Everyone said in unison, "What's the problem?" and they all turned back.

Jing Hui said: "The donor threw the stone with a lot of strength, but the stone did not pop out, and Lao Na faintly heard the sound of the stone bouncing. Now everyone is still quiet and listen carefully, to see if there is any other sound besides the sound of water. ”

When everyone heard him say this, they all calmed down, and listened attentively, and sure enough, behind the sound of water, there was a faint sound of Wengweng, like the sound of the wind blowing through the hole. One of them suddenly said: "I heard, it was the sound of air flowing quickly through the mouth of the cave and hitting the cave, and there was a hole behind this waterfall." ”

Everyone nodded again and again whether they heard it or not, no wonder others couldn't hear it before, they had covered up any sound by their previous noisy shouting, and Abbot Jinghui was a monk who had been practicing penance all year round, and his mood was many times clearer than that of ordinary people.

The four young men in the water also didn't care to go ashore, and when they crossed the waterfall, they saw a naturally formed lava hole inside, and they shouted to everyone when they came out. Everyone was convinced that the sword was in the cave, and they couldn't wait to rush forward, about to enter the waterfall, Jing Hui said: "Everyone must keep their fire folds and fire pipes, don't let the water get wet, we don't know how deep this hole is, whether it is dangerous." Everyone nodded, and a big man hugged his head and shrank his waist towards the waterfall, and broke in first, and the people behind him did the same one after another.

One of the young men asked, "Do you want to inform the other two groups so that they don't look for them again?" ”

The person next to him immediately glared, and a rough man scolded: "Are you stupid and crazy, don't you suspect that there are not enough people, Lao Tzu still wants to chop them all one by one, so as not to have more opponents to compete for." Everyone let out a "hmm" and stared at him with angry expressions. The big man hurriedly laughed and said, "Just kidding, just kidding." Seeing that everyone still refused to let go, he said: "It's all my fault for my stinky mouth, I didn't cover it up, I should be beaten." He smacked himself a few times.

Everyone was angry at this time, but they were thinking in their hearts: "What he said is also right, so many people, the divine sword is not easy to get, maybe, the sword has not been touched, and he has been chopped inside, so you need to be vigilant as soon as possible." So he quietly adjusted his weapon.
