Chapter 47: Tomb Sweeping
A few days later, Yun Xiao rushed to Xiangyang and inquired with the locals, and sure enough, someone had seen a large eagle eagle in a nearby valley, but this eagle was black, not white.
Yun Xiao finally remembered one thing, the sword mound where Dugu sought defeat seemed to be near Xiangyang, and there happened to be a big eagle there. Although he was a little disappointed on this trip, Yun Xiao didn't want to run this trip in vain, so he decided to go to the Sword Shrine to have a look.
There is a barren valley a few miles away from Xiangyang City, because there are many poisonous snakes and beasts here, ordinary people dare not approach it at all. On this day, a guest was welcomed in the deserted valley.
Not long after Yun Xiao walked into the barren valley, he immediately felt a gaze staring at him, Yun Xiao was surprised, could it be that there was someone here? This kind of gaze could arouse his vigilance, and it was clearly like being targeted by a supreme master.
The perception spread, Yun Xiao smiled, it turned out to be it. Looking up at the top of the mountain, a black eagle eagle independent peak is majestic, and a pair of eagle eyes are looking at him with a bright eye.
The eagle eagle is extremely huge, half larger than Xiaoluo, and Xiaoluo has become a little guy compared to it. Different from Xiaoluo's majestic handsomeness, this sculpture has a strange and ugly appearance, with a curved mouth and a large sarcoma on the top of the head, which looks very fierce.
Seeing a living person walking into the valley, the eagle let out a long whimper and rushed down from the top of the mountain. Well, instead of swooping down, he strode down with his feet. The eagle's feet are very thick, but the wings are very short, and the feathers on it are sparse and fallen, and it has long been unable to fly.
The eagle eagle rushed to Yun Xiao's side, stopped instantly, and then stared at Yun Xiao intently, but there was no hostility. Yun Xiao knew that it was human, and said with a light smile, "Brother Diao, there is a visitor, don't you invite you to come home for a while?"
As if he understood Yun Xiao's words, the eagle let out a few low sounds, stretched out his wings and patted Yun Xiao's shoulder. After that, he strode forward, turning back from time to time, and motioned for Yun Xiao to follow it.
Yun Xiao followed, although the eagle eagle could no longer fly, his steps were unusually fast, like a master of light skills. Yun Xiao still followed slowly, however, every step he took was just behind the eagle.
One person and one sculpture went faster and faster, and in the end. The eagle roared excitedly, as if in celebration, and since the man's death, it had finally met its opponent again.
Yun Xiao followed the eagle all the way to the depths of the valley, and finally arrived in front of a cave, the eagle nodded three times to the cave, just like a person saluting, Yun Xiao knew that this was its home. It is also a place of solitude and defeat.
Walking into the cave, it was dark inside, but Yun Xiao had already been able to see at night and could see clearly. I saw that the cave was very shallow. But three zhang, outside a stone table and a stone chair in the cave, there is nothing else.
There is also a pile of rubble in one corner of the cave, which looks like a tomb. Remembering the previous salute of the Condor. It should be against it. Yun Xiao finally understood that this was the place where Dugu was buried, and this stone pile. It is his grave.
There are no weeds around the mound, and it should be cleaned by the eagle eagle, but unfortunately it seems that only the eagle often pays tribute to him.
Remembering that he learned the Dugu Nine Swords in his first life, and he could be regarded as the successor of Dugu in the next life, Yun Xiao took out a lot of wine and food from the storage space, offered sacrifices, and saluted it himself.
After the ceremony, Yun Xiao looked up and saw that there were words on the wall, but they were just dusty and closed. With a wave of his right hand, the moss on it was immediately erased, revealing three lines of words.
"For more than 30 years, I have killed all the enemies and defeated the heroes, and there is no resistance in the world, and there is nothing to do, but to live in seclusion in the deep valley and take the eagle as a friend. Woohoo, I can't get an opponent in my life, and I'm embarrassed to be lonely. ”
The following inscription is "Sword Demon Dugu seeks defeat." ”
The handwriting is very thin, and the stone is very deep. As far as the word itself is concerned, it is not everyone, but the edge between the lines is revealed, and the sword intent has long been stored in it, and in the eyes of the sword user, this is another person.
The first few sentences tell the life deeds of Dugu's defeat, which makes people's blood surge, but Yun Xiao has long been unmoved, but the last few sentences, Yun Xiao's heart is sad, no matter how high the martial arts are, no matter how famous the reputation is? In the end, you just live alone in the empty valley, and after death, only the eagle eagle will send you off and be buried!
Yun Xiao remembered a poem, waved his right hand against the wall again and again, and left another paragraph next to the inscription of Dugu's defeat.
The world is out of my generation, and the years are urging when I enter the rivers and lakes;
The emperor is talking and laughing, and he is more drunk than life.
Lifting a sword and riding to wave the ghost rain, the white bones are like mountain birds flying in shock;
Dust is like a tide, people are like water, only sighing a few people in the rivers and lakes.
When the final payment was made, Yun Xiao wanted to leave his name, but after thinking about it, he wrote that Dongfang was undefeated.
Yun Xiao sighed, "The two of you, one claims to be defeated, and the other claims to be undefeated, if you can meet in the same era, you will definitely become opponents, it's a pity!"
After some emotion, Yun Xiao smiled at the big eagle and said, "Brother Diao, I will carve words in your house at will, you won't blame me." ”
The eagle owl 'croaked' a few times, and the bird's head shook, the meaning was obvious, and Yun Xiao was not to blame. It may be that seeing that Yun Xiao was interested in Dugu's quest for defeat, the eagle wings patted Yun Xiao again and motioned for Yun Xiao to continue to follow it.
The eagle eagle walked out of the cave and came to a forest behind the cave. The trees were green, the mountain air was fresh, and Yun Xiao followed the eagle for several miles and came to a cliff.
The cliff is like a huge screen, rising to the sky, in the middle of more than 20 zhang from the ground, there is a prominent platform, saying that it is a platform, in fact, it is just a big stone, which is engraved with the word "sword mound"!
The eagle eagle walked in front of the cliff and was about to climb it with his claws, Yun Xiao shook his head and sighed, "Brother Eagle, Brother Eagle, you are so good that you are also an eagle, and you have even forgotten all about your housekeeping skills." ”
It seemed to hear that Yun Xiao was laughing at it, and the eagle bird's head turned to Yun Xiao, and the "quack" screamed several times, as if to say, if you have the ability, you go first!
Yun Xiao walked to the side of the eagle, and suddenly his right hand pressed against its body, as if it was firmly absorbed, and then jumped forward, took a few steps in the air, and jumped directly to the platform with the eagle.
Seeing that he was carried up by Yun Xiao and flew up, the eagle suddenly screamed, as if to say, this is not scientific, why am I an eagle, I can't fly, you are a human, but you can fly!
Ignoring the eagle's bird language complaints, Yun Xiao walked to the place engraved with the word "Sword Shrine", and there were two lines of small words next to it, "The sword demon is invincible in the world and is buried in the sword." Woohoo! The heroes are tied up, the long swords are empty, and they are not sad!"
Full of pride, in the end can only turn into grief and indignation! The times create heroes, however, some heroes cannot meet the times. Yun Xiao said in his heart, if you can be born a few decades later, you will definitely not be lonely! There are five uniques in the world, and I Yun Xiao!
There were many stones on the sword mound, and Yun Xiao swung them away with one palm, revealing the true face inside, three long swords, and a stone chip!
The four swords represent the four realms that Dugu has experienced in his life. (To be continued......)
