Xiao Jingshen handed over an ancient sword with cold light to Xiao Lan's hand, "Lan'er, don't underestimate this ancient sword, although it is not forged from some strange material, it is also a necessary basic equipment for a person in the rivers and lakes." Xiao Lan happily took the ancient sword www.biquge.info the pen, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly: "Thank you, father."

"And this, this is the 'Yuan Ling Returning Technique' mental method, which can greatly improve your physical strength in a short period of time" Xiao Jingshen immediately followed a booklet from behind him. Xiao Lan also took over the heart method excitedly. Xue Yan on the side seemed to be slightly dissatisfied, stomped her feet and made a grimace at Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan also spit out a long tongue at Xue Yan, "Wow~". In fact, Xiao Lan understands Xue Yan's mind, Xue Yan has a lively personality, and she likes to wander around. Xiao Lan pondered for a moment and said to Xiao Jingshen, "Uh...... Father, look at Xue Yan her...... , let Xueyan accompany me."

Xiao Jingshen hesitated: "How can this work, Xue Yan is a girl who is messing around outside all day long, no, absolutely not" Xiao Jingshen's tone became more serious. "Oh, father...... , my good father, you just let me go with my brother, please, isn't it okay for Yan'er to kneel down for you?" Xue Yan began to be coquettish and said pitifully. "Oh, father, the child thinks this is a rare opportunity to test, maybe she can sharpen her eldest lady's temper," Xiao Lan said as she saw the opportunity.

"Brother, what are you talking nonsense, is my sister's temper bad?" Xue Yan said a little angrily. "Good, good, good, my sister's temper is good," Xiao Lan said with a smile. "Okay, okay, Xue Yan, just according to what your brother said, you can go......" Xiao Jingshen said with some regret. Xiao Jingshen's concerns are not unreasonable, just because the road to Lingshan is indeed full of hardships and dangers, just saying that there are all kinds of bandits and bandits along the way, it is difficult enough, and there will be various sects and factions of influence in the middle. Not to mention the decent family, if you encounter the evil devil's crooked path, it will not be easy to solve.

"Xue Yan, since you insist on going, you can't be unkind to your father, so let's do it, my father will also give you a few treasures to defend yourself" Xiao Jingshen said and entered the secret room again. The snow swallows on the side have already blossomed. ...... After a while, Xiao Jingshen took two things and walked out of the secret room.

"Xue Yan, you're a girl, don't move too heavy a weapon, come and try this," Xiao Jingshen said as he opened the box. Xue Yan stared at the box with straight eyes, "This is the 'Colorful Falling Cloud Whip', I think your mother used it to become the leading heroine in the rivers and lakes" Xiao Jingshen took out the Colorful Falling Cloud Whip and said. Xue Yan took the colorful falling cloud whip with both hands, and sure enough, it shone with dazzling seven-colored brilliance like the clouds at the beginning of the snow after the snow. Xiao Jingshen continued: "And this, this is the 'Pocket Sword', especially for girls like you who walk the rivers and lakes, you need to equip it on the wrist of your right hand, usually covered by the sleeve, when you encounter danger, you only need to throw your right hand hard, and the thin needle in the sleeve will automatically fly out, but the range is only fifty steps, so you need to grasp the distance."

"Finally, for my father, I will pass on to you a light gong mantra [Mi Qi Drifting] light gong body method. The key to this skill is: one round, two tops, three buckles, four hangs, and five mentions. Round: body, arm bend, hips, knees, all to be round; top: hands, head, tongue, all to top, but not to clumsy force; buckle: chest, potential, to natural buckle homeopathic; hanging: shoulders, elbows, qi to hang; lifter, internal pranayama also, five tips are prepared, the more practiced, the more refined. As long as you master this technique, the Colorful Falling Cloud Whip will be able to be cast as you like."

"Got it, father," Xue Yan replied excitedly. "Okay, you brothers and sisters just go down and prepare," Xiao Jingshen said with a wave of his sleeves. Xiao Lan and Xue Yan bowed to Xiao Jingshen and went out.

After that, a plainly dressed but noble woman came out of the back room, and that person was Xiao Lan's mother, Mrs. Wang, "Master, is it really okay for us to deceive Lan'er like this?" Mrs. Wang said uneasily. Xiao Jingshen took a long breath and said, "Alas, what can I do, Lan'er has grown up, it's time for him to know the truth from eighteen years ago."

Speaking of Xiao Jingshen, the night of eighteen years ago came to his mind......

"Brother Huang, you go quickly! We must keep the bloodline of our Xiao family, raise Lan'er as an adult, and restore the eternal foundation of our Great Liang." A middle-aged man in a dragon robe fell in a pool of blood and said to Xiao Jingshen with all his strength. "Brother Huang, Brother Huang...... I will definitely not forget the humiliation of Chen Guo's slaughter of the city, and one day in the future, I will take Lan'er to rebuild the beam," Xiao Jingshen held the man's hand and said firmly.

As he spoke, Da Chen's army had already rushed into the main hall, and Xiao Jingshen had no choice but to escape from the side door of the apse with Xiao Lan, and Xiao Jingshen had been holding a bag tightly in his hand along the way. This was personally handed over to him by the imperial brother before Chen Guo's army rushed into the main hall. said that there was a good strategy for restoring the country and rejuvenating the country, and since then, Xiao Jingshen has gradually organized a gang with a reputation in the rivers and lakes - Xingyue Tower in accordance with the guidelines and strategies in the bag.

Xingyue Tower is located in the southwest of Jinling City, in the Langcang Peak, surrounded by mountains and mysterious mist. It is a natural secret fortress, and no one knows where the entrance is except for the people in the Xingyue Tower. Moreover, Xingyue Tower does not seem to exist to outsiders, because its architectural pattern is constructed according to Jiang Ziya's Tai Chi Bagua Array and Taoist Zhuangzi's 'Taoism and Nature' thought, and the whole building is integrated with the surrounding mountains and dense forests. All the giant trees, vines, and broken walls and flying rocks are composed of the weapons of the Star and Moon Tower.

On the way to the Xingyue Tower, there are all kinds of traps that make people unguardable. Even if the enemy is lucky enough to enter the Xingyue Tower, there is also a trial hole on the cliff behind the Xingyue Tower to accommodate him. It is rumored that there is a shocking secret about the Xiao family in the cave, guarded by four spirit beasts, no one has ever entered except Xiao Jingshen, it is said that the cave is extremely dangerous, and it is impossible for anyone to enter without Xiao Jingshen's order. Xiao Lan is no exception.

"Ahem...... cough ......" Xiao Jingshen came back to his senses in a cough from Mrs. Wang. "Master, what are you thinking about for a long time?" said Mrs. Wang, who slowly sat down close to the bookcase. "Oh, ah...... It's nothing, I just remembered the situation when Da Liang died and what the imperial brother said to me at that time, I hope that Lan'er's Lingshan cultivation this time can temper his mind and make friends with some powerful sects in the rivers and lakes, which will be of great benefit to the restoration of the country in the future, and there is the sword and rain stone" Xiao Jingshen patted Mrs. Wang's hand and said.

"Sword Rain Stone, is that the Sword Rain Stone that is said to have the ability to shake the heavens and the earth?" Master, is that just a legend true?" "The sword rain stone is the ancient god Gonggong and Zhuan Xuan in the Buzhou Mountain when the blood of the two gods happened to be sprinkled on the stone pillar at the same time, because its whole body is light blue, the inside is glowing with the same wave of sword light, the appearance is very similar to the appearance of dripping rain into ice, so it is called the sword rain stone, it is said that the opening monarch of the Shang Dynasty Tang was with the help of the power of the sword rain stone to defeat the absurd Xia Wei, since then the sword rain stone has disappeared from the world, no one has ever seen it" Xiao Jingshen said.

"Since the world has never seen it again, how did you think of using the power of the Sword Rain Stone to restore the country?" Madam Wang said even more puzzled. "Well, that's what the imperial brother said in the bag he gave me, saying that the Sword Rain Stone is one of the three indispensable items for the restoration of the country, and only those who are destined can get it." Xiao Jingshen explained. "The other two items are ?......," Madame Wang asked. "The other two items are Jianghu forces and Lan'er." "Lan'er, why Lan'er?" said Mrs. Wang, who was even more puzzled. "Madam, haven't you forgotten the change in the starry sky on the day Lan'er was born," Xiao Jingshen said with a smile. "How could I forget? That day, Wen Po said that Lan'er's fetal position was not correct, and she could only choose one person between me and Lan'er to survive, but at that time, the seven Big Dippers in the sky were connected into a straight line, and Lan'er was also born there smoothly and I didn't suffer any accidents, so both our mother and son survived."

"Yes, Lan'er is the 'Seven-Star Zongzi', and only the 'Seven-Star Zongzi' can withstand the powerful power of the Sword Rain Stone," Xiao Jingshen stroked his beard and said. "Oh, it's not too early, ma'am, you should go down and rest early, don't let Lan'er see the flaws, I think Lan'er will definitely not let us down" Xiao Jingshen comforted.

"Well, then I'll go back to my room, don't worry too much about this," Mrs. Wang took two steps and turned back.

After Xiao Lan went out, she and Xue Yan walked in the direction of their respective doors, and along the way, Xiao Lan pulled the Xuantie sword out of its scabbard from time to time, "Wow...... "......I feel that the meaning of this sword has gone beyond the sword itself, and it also has a righteous and upright force.

Xiao Lan thought that she could finally do chivalrous deeds and wander the world, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited in her heart and unconsciously walked to the back garden, Xiao Lan took a big stride all the way, feeling that everything in this garden was more full of life than usual, even the red plum tree that was overwhelmed by the heavy snow the day before yesterday had the vitality to stand again. Just like Xiao Lan's mood, she has full enthusiasm to face everything unknown.

Xiao Lan gently pushed open the door, "Who! stop me" I saw a seven-foot-tall black shadow lightly coming out of the window, Xiao Lan didn't care about a lot of swords and rushed out of the door to catch him, but the man did it lightly, and disappeared in three or two clicks.

Xiao Lan stared at the disappearing back, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, so she had no choice but to go back to the room to see what was missing. "Huh, this is ......" Xiao Lan picked up a purple silk scarf from under the window, the middle of the silk scarf was embroidered with a small word 'Ying' and exuded a faint lavender fragrance. Xiao Lan touched the silk scarf carefully: This is very much like a woman's item, could it be ...... Hey, how is this possible, I did see that the flower shadow girl had a purple silk scarf in the Drunken Dream Building, but it was impossible for her to enter the Xingyue Building, alas...... This is not enough to rely on a silk scarf as evidence to figure out who this person is, it's just that this silk scarf is put away, and we will meet if we have a fate in the future.

Xiao Lan gently folded the silk scarf, took out a two-foot-long cloth bag from the wall, opened the mouth of the cloth bag, and carefully put the "Yuan Ling Returning to the Heart Technique" mental method that his father had just handed over to him. Then Xiao Lan's eyes focused on the jade flute in the bookcase, which his father had bought from a merchant in the Western Regions on his tenth birthday. Xiao Lan often played it to relieve the depression in her heart, and she must have used it for Lingshan and her trip this time.

Xiao Lan got up and gently took off the jade flute, packed it in a slender brocade cloth bag, and put it into a cloth bag that was more than two feet long.

Everything was cleaned up, Xiao Lan looked at the sunlight outside the window was so warm and soft, and thought about going to the back garden to practice swords. Xiao Lan erected three seven-foot-tall scarecrows there and used them as imaginary enemies. Xiao Lan looked directly at the scarecrow, as if he had a routine. "Hmph" Xiao Lan pulled out the Xuantie sword, jumped forward and somersaulted, holding the sword in both hands and slashing straight down towards the scarecrow, the sword light flashed, and the scarecrow was motionless, but the wooden stick inside was cut off.
