In the west of the ancient sword gate, there is an exquisite compound. This is the cultivation place of Cai Yuanzhang, the head of the Ancient Sword Sect. It's just that after Nankaicheng and his party, Cai Yuanzhang fell and died, and the courtyard where he once lived and practiced was temporarily vacant.

A faint light suddenly and silently flew from the sky. At this time, it was dark night, and there was a forbidden area near the compound, and no monk of the Ancient Sword Sect noticed the approach of this retreat. The light quickly flew close to the courtyard, and after circling slightly over the courtyard, it fell into the courtyard, revealing the figure inside, but it was Mo Chong, who should have been far away. Why did Mo Chong go and return?

Mo Chong, who fell into the courtyard, had just stood still, when he suddenly 'poofed' and spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and then his body shook a few times, and he almost fell to the ground.

In the battle with Ning Wuchen just now, although Mo Chong basically did not directly withstand the attack, he was already injured before he made a move with Ning Wuchen. And the injury is not light. In the case of continuous urging of high-power spells, the injuries that were barely suppressed naturally recurred.

The reason why he has been gritting his teeth and insisting on not showing his defeat is that Mo Chong is not worried about Zhu Qiqi's ill intentions towards him, but because he is worried about what may happen later. If Zhu Qiqi saw his current situation, although he might not talk about it with other monks, it was a matter of life and death for a Yuanying monk, and it was difficult to guarantee that those monks who came to investigate would not use any drastic means. For example, soul retention, and even soul extraction. In this way, of course, Zhu Qiqi will not be able to keep any secrets, and his serious injury and dying situation will also be known by other monks. This is something that Mo Chong would never want to see.

Choose to go back to the Ancient Sword Gate to hide. On the one hand, Mo Chong was in a seriously injured state, and the more he continued to urge his mana to fly, the more dangerous it became, and on the other hand, this place was hidden enough. Most of those who came to investigate couldn't have imagined that after he Mo Chong killed someone, he would dare to stay in the Ancient Sword Gate and not leave. And staying here, Mo Chong can also learn the most specific and real situation for the first time.

He gasped for a while, waiting for the churning qi and blood in his chest to subside. Mo Chong immediately slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist and released the little medicine king snake.

The little medicine king snake in the spirit beast bag could sense a little bit of the situation in the outside world, and as soon as it was released, it immediately turned to Mo Chong, and let out an anxious 'sizzling' sound from its mouth.

Mo Chong's face turned pale and he slowly shook his head. "I'm fine. I've suffered more serious injuries than this. To let you out is to let you out and help watch. As he spoke, he pointed to the center of the Ancient Sword Gate: "You go, find a hidden place to hide." As soon as a high-ranking monk arrives, come back and inform me. Be careful not to be discovered, can you do it?"

The little medicine king snake nodded, turned around, and rushed out. But he sprang out four or five feet and turned around.

Mo Chong waved his hand and said, "I'm fine here." Go with confidence. It's more important to move over there. ”

"Sizzle. ”

The little medicine king snake nodded, and then its body sprang out again, and it was already in the night after a while.

released the little medicine king snake, Mo Chong thought about it, flipped his palm, and released the green scoop worm again: "No matter who it is." If you are close to the courtyard, you will be killed!"

The command is too complicated, and the green scoop worm can't understand it. It's just killing, though. Of course, it understood, and immediately 'swished' and bounced into the darkness.

The green scoop Wanjun insect was also sent out, Mo Chong was slightly relieved, and immediately took out a bottle of elixir, poured out a few pills, and took them. Then sit down cross-legged on the spot and begin to heal your wounds.

Nothing was said all night. By noon the next day, Mo Chong's injuries had stabilized again. This made Mo Chong breathe a sigh of relief slightly. Although it is inevitable that the injury will recur at the moment, at least it will not be like last night, and there is no chance to do it.

The little medicine king snake had apparently come back a few times during Mo Chong's healing. above the ground in front of you. A few more piles of pebbles. Mo washed a glance at the pebbles on the ground, and through mental contact, he sensed the situation of the green scoop worm. Nothing happened on the side of the Green Scoop Worm either.

After confirming these two things, Mo Chong stood up and walked towards the hall behind him. Last night time was urgent. Now that the injury has stabilized, it is natural to find a better place to heal.

Although Cai Yuanzhang is just a monk of Jiedan, in the end, he is the master of a faction, and this place of residence is quite magnificent. When you enter the hall, the first thing you see is a calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall, on which is written the word 'sword' of Douda. The words are not good words, but they contain a bit of sword intent on them. Mo Chong's cultivation is also a sword technique, and when he looks at the word 'sword', he knows that it is definitely not from Cai Yuanzhang's hand, and with his cultivation, he will never be able to write such a word. Most of them were left by the predecessors of the Ancient Sword Gate.

Turning the hall, there is a winding cloister behind it. On a lime-peeling wall at the end of the cloister, there is actually another word 'sword'. The word 'sword' is different from what I've seen in the hall before, although it also contains sword intent. But it has a more strong and spicy taste. The man who wrote was most likely a ruthless swordsman who was decisive in his killings.

Mo Chong's expression moved. This sword word, of course, was not written by Cai Yuanzhang. He also had no such attainments. Mo Chong glanced at it a few more times and found that the wall erected at the end of the cloister was not originally built here in the first place, but was moved from elsewhere, and the wall tiles and floor tiles were not the same style, nor were they built together.

Passed through the cloister and continued on. A row of houses appeared in front of me. Mo Chong pushed them open one by one, and these houses were a quiet room, a bedroom, a study, and a utility room. However, there is a 'sword' at the back of each house. It is either written in calligraphy and painting, or engraved on utensils, among which there is a word 'sword', which is directly drawn on the dried corpse of a monk. The monk was clearly alive when the word 'sword' was written, and although he had been reduced to a dried corpse, he still had a frightened and painful expression on his face.

It's kind of interesting. Mo Chong's eyes flashed. Each of these 'sword' characters contains sword intent, but the sword intent contained in them is not the same. Obviously, the person who left the word 'sword' is not only not from the same person, but also very different in terms of cultivation and strength. Especially the word 'sword' drawn on the dry corpse, although the scene is a little terrifying, but the word 'sword' contains the awe-inspiring sword intent, and even Mo Chong couldn't help but feel the blood churning in his chest when he saw it.

'Is it the tradition of the ancient sword sect to leave these 'sword' characters, or is there something else?'

Mo Chong groaned darkly. Although he is now the nominal elder of the Ancient Sword Sect. But I really don't know much about the Ancient Sword Gate. At present, the sword intent contained in these words 'sword' has inspired him a lot. If he finds some more handwriting left by the people in front of the Ancient Sword Gate, it may allow him to take his comprehension of the "Eight Desolation Sword Techniques" to a higher level.

Forget it. There's no rush to this. It's not too late to wait until I'm healed. Mo Chong shook his head. But as soon as he stepped out of the house, it was another meal.

'Not true. Now I'm hiding here. It's just that it's not found out. If it is found out, I don't know if this ancient sword sect will have a chance to come back in the future. If you don't take the opportunity to look for it at this time, it will be impossible in the future. ’

A thought soon floated in Mo Chong's mind again. This thought together. Mo Chong's face showed hesitation, and after being silent for a while, Mo Chong still thought of a compromise and walked out of the courtyard.

Zhu Qiqi was very nervous. In fact, she hasn't relaxed since last night's incident. First Ning Baishou, then Ning Wuchen. Ning Wuchen is already a Yuan Infant Cultivator, if someone comes again, what kind of cultivation should it be. What kind of formation? Zhu Qiqi didn't dare to think about it, but he couldn't help but think about it.

"Whoosh!"

A spiritual light suddenly flew in from the window, startling Zhu Qiqi. When she looked closely, she realized that what flew in was nothing more than a transmission note.

grabbed the transmission note in his hand and pinched it open, but the sound coming from it made Zhu Qiqi's heart chuckle. The transmission note was sent by Mo Chong, and the words in it were very simple. There are only eight words: "Come to the place where the head of the house comes to me." ”

Of course, Zhu Qiqi had no way not to go, and she had no reason not to go. So after receiving the transmission note. Zhu Qiqi immediately stood up, pushed open the door and walked out.

There was a hot scene inside the Ancient Sword Gate, and it looked no different from yesterday. Such a big thing happened last night, and there was not a single disciple in the sect talking about it. Because Elder Zhu gave an order, it was not allowed to talk about it casually. After traveling through Nankaicheng, the remaining disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect were obviously much more mature and sophisticated. I already know what not to say and what not to ask.

It took Zhu Qiqi a lot of effort to avoid the eyes and ears of the disciples in the sect and came to the courtyard where Cai Yuanzhang, the former head of the sect, lived. The only 'place where the head lives' can be thought of is here.

Zhu Qiqi couldn't see Mo Chong. He hesitated. Zhu Qiqi said in a low voice: "Are you here, senior? ”

"Come in. Mo Chong's voice came faintly from the courtyard.

Zhu Qiqi did not hesitate when he heard this, his figure flashed, and he had already jumped into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Mo Chong was standing in front of a plum tree with his hands behind his back. This is not the season for plum blossoms. There are only bare branches and green leaves on the plum tree, which is really not much to look at. But Zhu Qiqi was a little fascinated. Because what she was looking at was not the plum tree, but Mo Chong standing under the tree.

For Mo Chong, she herself can't tell what kind of emotions she holds. But one thing she knows for sure. Mo Chong's mystery ignited her curiosity. The longer they got along, the more mysterious Mo Chong became in her mind, and the stronger her desire to find out. However, she didn't dare to say more, she didn't dare to ask more. Mo Chong's methods are still vivid in her mind.

"You're doing a good job. Mo Chong spoke again.

Zhu Qiqi actually didn't hear what Mo Chong said clearly, but was startled by Mo Chong's words, and quickly lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Yes, yes." ”

Mo Chong turned around, looked at Zhu Qiqi and said, "How long have you been joining the Ancient Sword Sect, how much do you know about the Ancient Sword Sect?"

Zhu Qiqi didn't expect Mo Chong to go and return, and asked this question, and only after a while did he speak: "This ...... The parents of the younger generation were originally disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect. Therefore, from the day the younger generation was born, he was already a member of the Ancient Sword Sect. As for the understanding of the Ancient Sword Gate...... What do seniors want to know?"

Mo Chong didn't talk nonsense, turned his palm over, took out a calligraphy and painting, spread it out, let it float in front of him, and then said, "This thing, do you know?"

Seeing the calligraphy and painting that Mo Chong took out, Zhu Qiqi was stunned for a moment, then bowed down and said, "Yes." This is the 'sword intent'. ”

"'Sword Intent'?" Mo Chong frowned.

Zhu Qiqi said: "Yes." The Ancient Sword Sect is actually a branch of the Ancient Immortal Gate Yijian Pavilion. However, this has been a long time ago, and our Ancient Sword Sect does not have any inheritance of the Ancient Immortal Gate Yijian Pavilion at all. It's just that this 'sword intent' was the tradition of the Sword Pavilion back then. When a disciple reaches a certain level of cultivation in the sword technique, he will leave behind a sword intent that contains the sword intent he has comprehended. Writing the word 'sword' is the most common. ”

Mo Chong raised his eyebrows and said, "So, isn't there a lot of sword intentions like this?"

Zhu Qiqi hesitated for a moment when he heard this: "This junior doesn't know." After all, the juniors did not have a high status in the door before. However, it is estimated that even if there are any, there will not be many of them. ”

Mo Chong said, "Oh!?why?"

Zhu Qiqi sighed and said, "Although our Ancient Sword Sect is named after 'Sword', there are not many disciples who actually practice sword techniques, and even fewer can integrate sword intent into pen and ink. As far as the younger generations know, in the last thousand years, there has been no one in the Ancient Sword Sect who has left sword intent anymore. What my predecessors are looking at now is at least a thousand years ago. ”

"A thousand years ago!?" Mo Chong was stunned when he heard this. It can integrate its own sword intent into words, and then preserve it for thousands of years. The strength of the sword intent that remained in this part was by no means what he had estimated at the beginning. He now writes a word that contains more sword intent than any sword intent found in the house. But after a thousand years...... No, even after a hundred years, it's hard to say whether or not the sword intent can still be left.

Zhu Qiqi frowned and thought about it, and then said, "I know that there is a secret room in the Ancient Sword Gate. Inside it is a collection of treasures from the ancient sword gate of the past dynasties. Now, of course, there won't be any real treasures inside. But if the seniors want sword intent, there may be a few more. ”

Hearing Zhu Qiqi's words, Mo Chong's eyes flashed, and he said, "Oh!? Take me to see." ”

When Zhu Qiqi heard this, his face showed hesitation. Said: "This...... I'm just afraid ......"

Mo Chong frowned and said, "What?

Zhu Qiqi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no." It's easy to say where the secret room is. But the seal ban outside the secret room is very powerful. It is said that it was when the ancient sword gate was still prosperous in the past, and it was built according to the ancient law, and it was almost impossible to open it by brute force except for the token of the master.
