After a long time, it was night, and a bright moon hung in the sky, and the long swords around it reflected a soft luster in the moonlight. Zhang Ye, www.biquge.info pen "Fun" pavilion, walked for an afternoon, and it was not too far from the foot of the mountain, but he did not see the shadow of chance.

Zhang Ye found a spacious place to sit down, holding a jade slip in his hand, and was thinking about what to do next, but he heard footsteps not far away, and the person who came did not hide his tracks.

Zhang Ye stood up, and the person who came was the young man he had met before.

The young man approached Zhang Ye, the smile on his face was even more kind in the moonlight, and Zhang Ye gave up vigilance in his heart.

The young man said, "Why do you keep going down the mountain?"

Zhang Ye said: "I don't know. ”

The young man didn't care about Zhang Ye's lies, and said, "The Hidden Sword Tomb will be closed in three days at most, we plan to get together and figure out a way, do you want to come?"

Zhang Ye was stunned: "Together?"

"Hmm. The boy nodded, his tone sincere, "There are already eight of us, and there are nine of you in total." I'm going to figure it out together, and I can't go back empty-handed. ”

Zhang Ye thought for a while and said, "Okay." ”

The young man took Zhang Ye and walked into the distance, but after a while, he saw a faint light flickering in the distance. When I got closer, I saw that it was a pale yellow flame, suspended between several people, and it was a spell. The few people next to the flames were about the same age as Zhang Ye, maybe a little younger, four men and three women.

Several people made room for the two of them, and Zhang Ye sat down next to the boy. A tall boy beside the flame said, "Okay, everyone is here." ”

"Not many people know that the Hidden Sword Shrine was born, and we are probably the only ones who entered. I don't know when the next time the hidden sword mound will appear, so this opportunity is even more precious. The tall boy's tone was steady and loud.

As soon as the words fell, he said again: "This opportunity is so precious, I believe that everyone is unwilling to return empty-handed." However, this is the first time this has happened in the Hidden Sword Shrine, and without the experience of our predecessors, we can only rely on ourselves. ”

"So let's figure out how to get the sword and get it back. After saying that, the tall man looked at the few people around the flames.

Seeing that the people around him did not react, the tall man said again: "Then I'll come first, before coming in, my father told me that the swords in the hidden sword mound are also of different grades, and the closer you are to the top of the mountain, the higher the grade of the sword." So I think maybe we can go down and try it a little further, after all, we are only cultivating qi. ”

After the tall man finished speaking, a young girl said, "I came all the way up from the foot of the mountain, and I feel that there is not much difference between below and here." The girl's voice was soft and sweet.

The young man beside Zhang Ye spoke in a flat tone, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing: "The master said that there have been many changes in the hidden sword mound, and it takes chance to get the sword. ”

"What chance?"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, a few people asked, and the young man had to shake his head and say, "I don't know." ”

Zhang Ye thought for a while and said, "I have a map of the hidden sword mound. ”

Several people were stunned, looking at Zhang Ye with shocked faces, Zhang Ye took out the jade slip, and said, "But it doesn't seem to be useful." ”

Several people took turns to check the jade slip, and indeed found no information related to the sword. After a long discussion and no more useful information, they finally decided to go their separate ways.

Several of them were cultivators, and it was okay if they didn't rest for a day or two, so they got up and left after deciding, and agreed to meet here the next day. The boy I met before was on the same road as Zhang Ye. The young man's name is Xu Yun.

The two walked for a long time, and only in the second half of the night did they reach the foot of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain is a plain, with no end in sight, and the plain is still full of all kinds of long swords, which at first glance seems to be no different from the mountain.

As soon as the two of them set foot on the plain, they found that the plain and the mountain were not the same, although they were also silent, and there were swords everywhere, and the mountain was full of the thick smell of ancient vicissitudes, but the plain smelled of rust.

Both of them were surprised in their eyes, and the swords on the plain were rusty, as if they had been rusted for many years.

Zhang Ye stretched out his hand and pressed it in front of him, and when his palm touched the sword body, he heard a series of crisp sounds, and the heavy sword was directly broken from the lower half of his body and fell to the ground. After trying a few more swords, it was finally determined that the swords around him were all scrap metal.

The surprise in the hearts of the two could not be concealed, and after discussion, they decided to go further and take a look, and all the way they saw that the long swords were reduced to scrap metal, and they would be broken when they touched it.

As the sky grew brighter, the two of them felt the need to move forward any further, and planned to go back. The two turned around and walked for a while, stopped, Zhang Ye took out the jade slip, and a wry smile appeared on his face, there was no map of the plain in the jade slip. The two got lost.

Zhang Ye looked around, the ground was black dirt, and the long sword full of rust was everywhere, broken or withered, and there was no trace of the two of them walking before. The moon had disappeared, the sun had not yet risen, and the sky was gray and black, and it was impossible to see the direction.

The two waited for a long time in the same place, waiting for the sun to stain the sky red with clouds and mist, and then decided to go to the east. The two vaguely remembered that they were coming towards the moonlight.

It didn't take long for the sun to emerge from the clouds and hang in mid-air, shedding heat and light, and the various kinds of rusted swords around them reflected their luster in light or dark. The two walked for a long time on the plains, leaving marks on the rusted swords along the way in case they got lost again.

Until the afternoon, the sun had turned from the front of the two of them to the back, and the two of them should have returned to the mountain by the way, but at this time, there was no trace of the Sword Mountain, and the plains seemed to be endless.

It's been a whole day since he came in, and Xu Yun's bland expression seems to have begun to show traces of loss. The strong smell of rust around him never weakened, Zhang Ye turned his head and swept around, trying to find a person to vent his low mood, and a tall long sword not far away was very conspicuous in the sun.

Zhang Yeshang held the long sword, and as soon as he used his hand, he pulled out the long sword with the same height, and danced in his hand, only to hear the sound of cheering, and the rusted long sword around it had been broken. Zhang Ye felt comfortable in his heart, and suddenly felt that he understood something, but he couldn't grasp it.

The two of them continued to walk forward, both of them dispelling the idea of returning to the mountain, and wanting to see if there was an end to the plain.

The sun moved down a distance, the heat and light weakened a lot, and it was getting dark again, but a long sword in the distance was shining with dazzling light, Zhang Ye suddenly moved in his heart, grabbed the long sword, and danced again, and suddenly woke up.

"Did you find it?" Zhang Ye shook the long sword in his hand in front of Xu Yun's eyes, and said excitedly: "The rust of the sword is different. ”

Xu Yun was stunned for a moment, his eyes were also bright, and he took the long sword from Zhang Ye's hand. The long sword was more than three feet long, and it looked extremely ordinary, reflecting the luster in the sun, except for a small piece of rust on the tip of the sword.

Xu Yun returned the long sword to Zhang Ye, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Maybe there is a long sword that has not been corroded." ”

Zhang Ye also thought of this in his heart, and was full of hope, looked at the long sword in his hand, and put it in the storage bag. The two hit the road again and continued on their way.

In the middle of the day, the two of them are still moving forward in the plains, but their hearts are more and more full of confidence, since they suddenly woke up in the afternoon, the two have been carefully observing the long swords along the way, and found that along the way, there are more and more long swords that have only been rusted a little bit before, so the two of them are more determined in their hearts, maybe the opportunity is ahead.

In the second half of the night, a long time had passed since the time originally agreed to go back, and the moonlight was like water, sprinkled on the long sword in front of him, and the reflection was like a wave, causing ripples, and both of them couldn't help but stop.

This is the chance, the two thought to themselves.

There was still the plain in front of me, even in the moonlight, I could see the thicker black of the dirt on the ground, and the long swords on the ground were inserted together haphazardly, which looked a little dazzling in the moonlight, without the slightest trace of rust.

The two of them were full of excitement and walked into this sea of sword light. There were all sorts of swords around, some taller than the two of them combined, while others were only finger long, and if you weren't careful, they would pierce the soles of your feet.

The two of them stood between the various long swords, and they didn't know how to start for a while. With the long sword beside him, Zhang Ye calmed down in his heart and continued to walk forward, he still remembered the purpose of his trip. Xu Yun was stunned for a moment, and also followed behind Zhang Ye.

The two of them walked for a long time, and found that the number of these long swords without rust was not many, and they were roughly in the shape of a circle. The two walked towards the center of the circle.

It didn't take long for the two of them to see three long swords stuck in the center from a distance. The three long swords also look like ordinary swords, and there is nothing special about them, but they are separated from the surrounding swords by a distance, like a king who is above all beings, and there seems to be a coercion in the underworld.

Both of them suddenly changed their faces, Zhang Ye easily pulled out the long sword beside him and blocked it in front of him, Xu Yun turned into a white light and fell into the distance. Zhang Ye snorted, the long sword in his hand slashed down, only to hear a ping-pong sound, Zhang Ye snorted again, and fell backwards.

In front of him was a young man, dressed in black clothes and pants, as if he was one with the night, and the two of them had never noticed it. The young man was not one of the nine, he looked at the two of them coldly and said, "I want these three swords." ”

Xu Yun showed anger on his face, and snorted, this young man's seventh-level cultivation is higher than the cultivation of the two of them.

Zhang Ye stood in the distance, his expression was cold, but he was horrified in his heart, just now the young man struck, and he was lucky to rely on the long sword in his hand to block it, but his body was already overturned, and he suffered a lot of internal injuries.

Zhang Ye's gaze swept over the long sword in the distance, and he didn't intend to compromise, he was such a person, otherwise he wouldn't be disliked by several young masters in the clan. Moreover, he had seen the word "Ling Xiao" on the long sword in the distance.

Zhang Ye glanced at Xu Yun, saw his gaze, nodded slightly, and walked forward with his sword.

The young man glanced at Zhang Ye in surprise, and did not speak, his steps moved, and he suddenly melted into the night, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Zhang Ye, and the long sword stabbed fiercely. He was going to start with the weak first.

Zhang Ye had already taken precautions, waving the long sword in his hand, and a white sword light slashed towards the young man, and the young man's sword met the sword light, and the sword light exploded violently, and one of them was a sword light towards the young man.

The young man still stabbed with a sword, not dodging or dodging. Suddenly, the sword light exploded again, and Zhang Ye had already withdrawn some distance, holding a short sword with a red spine in his hand. The young man suddenly jumped sideways and stabbed Xu Yun with a sword, who was already behind him.

The young man was very good at swordsmanship, Xu Yun had already taken precautions, and a ball of white light suddenly burst out in front of him, meeting the long sword, and actually restrained the young man's long sword. Xu Yun's face was slightly pale, and the sweat stains on his forehead were rolling down, obviously unable to hold on for a long time.

Zhang Ye was stunned in his heart, just by looking at each other just now, Xu Yun already believed in himself, his heart was excited, but he was not slow at all, and the short sword suddenly burst into a flash of light, turning into a white light and shooting towards the young man.

The spell sealed on the short sword was enough to have the full force of the foundation monk, and when the young man noticed it, the sword light had reached behind him, and he instantly felt a chill in his vest, and it was too late to avoid it, and the sword light passed through his chest from behind.

The boy died, and Zhang Ye withdrew the short sword.

The whole world suddenly shook, the faces of the two changed, and they rushed forward, Zhang Ye just held the Ling Xiao sword, and he felt that his eyes were dark, and when he looked at it again, he was already in the mountains.
