Tongxuan Valley is located in the back mountain of Lingxiao Cliff. The mountains are green and the pines and cypresses are evergreen. Because it is located in a shady valley, it is always covered with a layer of mist that cannot be removed. Under the clouds and mist, Tongxuan Valley looks like a fairyland.

.

And Tongxuan Valley embraces a lake, called Mirror Lake. As its name suggests, the lake is as clear as a mirror, with no waves, and reflects the clouds and sky thousands of miles away on the lake. The lake and mountains are integrated into one, how can people not be amazed. But the heaven and the earth

The miraculous craftsmanship of nature does not end there. If you have good eyesight, you can also see a red island in the waves of Jinghu Lake. This island is called Xifeng Island. Although the island is small, it rises abruptly and stands tall, just like the mirror lake.

There was a sharp sword hidden underneath. Unwilling to let the lake water submerge its edge, he stretched out the tip of his sword.

The island is connected to the underground fire veins, and there is no grass growing. It was originally a small piece of barren land, but the small pool in the center of the island, which is only a few feet wide, turned this barren land into the center of the fairy family. It turns out that there is a strange thing in the pool.

Iron sand can be attached to the blade of a weapon, making it a rotten sword or a blunt axe. If it is attached to the sand, it will also become a magic weapon that can cut iron as if it is mud. However, the melting point of this sand is extremely high and it is difficult to refine it in ordinary furnaces. The only way is to

With the help of the fire veins that erupt once a year on Xifeng Island, when the fire veins erupt, the weapon is inserted upside down into the cold pool. Only when the earth fire and the water and fire of the cold pool are combined can the weapon be forged into glory. Therefore,

The island will be named Xi Feng Island.

The wonderful scenery of a lake in the valley, an island in the lake, and a pond in the island is a unique sight. However, Ying Feiyang was walking through the forest of Tongxuan Valley at this time, but it was incompatible with the vibrant scenery around him. All he saw was Ying Feiyang.

His face was depressed, his soul was lost, the scenery around him was incomprehensible to his eyes, and he was not even aware of the presence of a person around him.

"We haven't seen you for a long time, and I wanted to praise you for being more elegant than before, but seeing how distracted you are, I really can't say this!"

Only then did Ying Feiyang realize that he looked up and saw a young man wearing a pine pattern Taoist robe, a seven-star Taoist crown on his head, a sword in his arms, and a package on his back. Although his tone was somewhat joking, his face did have a friendly smile, as if

I have been waiting for Ying Feiyang to appear for a long time.

When Ying Feiyang saw this person, the sadness on his brows lightened up, and he greeted him with surprise and joy: "Senior Brother Fu Qingming, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you here?"

The person who came was none other than Fu Qingming. A year ago, Duo Ying Feiyang fought side by side with Fu Qingming, Zhang Yizhi, and Xie Lingyan. Although they only knew each other for a few days, because they had experienced life and death together, their relationship was particularly close. Zilai

After arriving at Lingxiao Kendo, not to mention Xie Lingyan, I also met Zhang Yizhi from time to time, but only in name. He was highly regarded by the leader because of his prudent and mature work, and was often assigned tasks to travel around, so he never had the opportunity to meet with him.

He reminisced about the past. Now that we meet here, Ying Feiyang is so happy that it is hard to describe.

Fu Qingming smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that all of you participants in the Qifeng Sword Competition will be assigned an older disciple to supervise and take care of you. Because of the lack of manpower, I was also roped in to make up the numbers. Who would have thought that I would be able to fight with you?"

Junior Brother Ying is in a group, now it’s good, with Junior Brother Ying’s cultivation, supervision and care can be saved, so I will take a break from my busy schedule to see Junior Brother Ying’s style.”

When Ying Feiyang heard this, he immediately grasped a life-saving straw and said: "I'm so lucky to have met Senior Brother Fu. There is no end to the road. Senior Brother Fu, you must give me a hand. Can you pass this time?"

I completely depend on you for the trial."

Fu Qingming frowned and said, "Junior brother Ying, why should you belittle yourself? With your swordsmanship, even among the direct disciples, there are only a handful of people who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you. Now it's just a mere Qifeng sword, so how can it be so difficult to defeat you?"

"Alas, Senior Brother Fu, you don't know something..." Ying Feiyang told the whole story with a sad face. Fu Qingming listened and couldn't help but sigh: "This... you are really unlucky."

"Isn't that right? That's why I want you to save me. If Senior Brother Fu has any useful information, hurry up and reveal it!"

Fu Qingming said helplessly: "No, Qifeng Jianduo has fourteen swords every year, named according to the twelve stars and the lunar sun. You can pass the level with just one, but the sword is hidden every year.

There are differences, all the hints on the surface are packed in this package, and I don't know anything else." He paid off Ming Yangyang and threw the package to Ying Feiyang.

Then he said: "But Junior Brother Ying, don't be discouraged. If you want to test your skills, the title on the Heavenly Ranking is enough. The Fenghai Sword Cleansing Competition focuses on testing the mind and wisdom. Junior Brother Ying is clever and clever, and maybe you don't need to use the sword to do it."

The sword will make you shortlisted."

Ying Feiyang only thought he was comforting, and sighed without responding. Fu Qingming smiled and said, "You still must not believe it. The sword cleaning meeting was held as early as the establishment of the sect. It was originally used to measure the wisdom of the disciples."

, it’s just that the descendants like us don’t understand the deep meaning of our predecessors and blindly rely on swords to compete for strength, but we fall behind. Although Junior Brother Ying can’t use the sword, he may be a blessing in disguise and see things that others cannot see.”

"Oh, that's it, just let it be your fate. The worst case scenario is that you can go back and continue cheating with the master!" Ying Feiyang sighed again as if he was resigned to his fate.

As soon as he finished speaking, the signal in the sky lit up. He paid his dues and handed the sword in his arms to Ying Feiyang: "I was just talking, and I almost delayed the business. Give me your sword. You can only use this ebony edgeless sword in the competition."

"

Ying Feiyang took the sword and made two gestures. The ebony edgeless sword was heavy, but the sides were not sharpened. It was the same as the one used for carving letters that day. He unconsciously said with his tongue: "This sword is too awkward, anyway."

Give me a decent weapon too."

"You want a good weapon, right? You can find it yourself. I forgot to tell you that if you can successfully pass the Qifeng Sword Competition, the sword you captured will also be yours as a bonus. It has been refined by the Xifeng Sea.

Swords are magical weapons, even if it’s just to get the sword, it’s worth fighting for.”

After changing the sword, Fu Qingming tore off the sealing talisman on the package: "The package contains the detailed rules of this sword cleaning meeting and other required items. The time has come, you can go, I will be here.

I wish Junior Brother Ying a successful start."

After that, he paid his name and left in a hurry, disappearing in an instant.

——————————————————————————————

Ying Feiyang opened the package and found a piece of flint, two vegetable rolls, a sheepskin scroll and a brocade bag.

The parchment scroll is a map. With just a few strokes, it outlines the surrounding landforms of Tongxuan Valley and Jinghu Lake. There are also twenty-four points on the map, representing the twenty-four disciples who passed the Tianbang test.

The location is divided into twelve groups according to the twelve earthly branches of "Zichou Yinmao". Each group has two "Heaven and Earth" people, equidistantly arranged in a large circle. Ying Feiyang's location is the "Chen and Earth" position in the lower right corner of the map.

,. On the Mirror Lake in the picture, there are also twelve small boats arranged according to the same number, which can be used by the players to cross the lake. Other than that, there is nothing else.

Opening the brocade bag again, the brocade bag contained nothing more than a note and a hollow ring-shaped jade biscuit. The texture carved on the front of the jade biscuit was somewhat consistent with the landforms depicted on the map. On the back, the word "地bi" was engraved, and the note was engraved on it.

There are only a few words on it: "Heaven and earth unite, strange fronts appear. Yin and Yang turn, creating waves."

"Just these few words, what kind of detailed rules are these!" Ying Feiyang couldn't help but sneered.

"Forget it, I'm not in a hurry to seek death anyway, let's think about the rules first." Ying Feiyang simply took out the flower rolls from the package and ate them while walking.

"According to the calculations of the leader and others, the fire veins should erupt tomorrow night. This place is only half a day's journey from Xijiantan by water and land. It seems that they deliberately left time for us to fight."

"Besides, these two little Hanamakis won't be able to survive tomorrow, so they have to find a way to solve it by themselves. They just have flint, so they don't need to eat hair and drink blood. Hunting some birds and rabbits can also improve the food. I just heard that there are some ferocious beasts in the valley. I

But if you fail to hunt, you will become the prey."

"Heaven and earth come together, and strange fronts appear. This is not difficult to understand. Since my piece of jade is earth, it should be competing with the jade of "heaven". If the jade of heaven and earth are combined, we should be able to find out the hidden jade.

The sword is placed... However, this still requires the use of force. If it is true as Senior Brother Fu said, this will focus on intelligence and resourcefulness rather than swordsmanship, then where is the shortcut?"

Ying Feiyang concentrated on thinking, trying to sort out the numerous clues, and seemed to have some understanding, but he missed the last step. When he was at a loss of ideas, he suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps coming from the left.

"It came so fast!" Ying Feiyang hurriedly swallowed the last mouthful of Hanamaki, thinking in his mind, "Now the competition has just begun, and the only ones who can get to me should be the "Chentian" person, but this time the sword competition will be the winner.

The task is not immediate. Not only must we find the sword, but we must also keep it until tomorrow. Therefore, it is best to recharge your batteries and wait for the opportunity. Anyone who comes in such a hurry is either an unwise person or someone who really overwhelms others.

In terms of human strength, could it be Ren Jiuxiao?"

Let’s not say who the visitor is, but when Ying Feiyang swallowed the last bite of food, his temperament suddenly changed. The slump in his brows disappeared, and he now looked like a young and talented person who was three-quarters chic and seven-cent confident.

Stance: Stand with the sword behind your back, calmly waiting for those who come.

Here is the result of his training with Qing Ku yesterday. When masters compete, it is not only about the basic skills, but more importantly, the momentum. The reason why Qing Ku has been cheating for many years but no one has exposed it is because he has become a master through hard training.

Momentum, Ying Feiyang and Qing Ku looked at each other all night. Although they were exhausted physically and mentally, they finally learned a little bit. In addition, his performance in the Tianbang nominations was extremely eye-catching, so he might be able to use this to bluff.

When the visitor showed up, Ying Feiyang was quite surprised.

"I originally thought it would be Ren Jiuxiao, but I didn't expect it was you, Brother Nan, what a coincidence."

On the opposite side, Nan Ba ​​smiled bitterly: "Unfortunately, I met you, and I got the lottery."

Ying Feiyang took out the jade and flicked it high: "Brother Nan must be from Chentian position. He must want my jade at this time. But with all due respect, if Brother Nan fights with me now,

, the odds of winning are not high.”

Nan Ba ​​laughed at himself, slightly discouraged, "It's not just low. Judging from the hand you showed yesterday, I'm way behind you. I have no chance of winning at all!".

"There is a way!" Ying Feiyang thought secretly in his heart and said: "Brother Nan is too modest. Brother Nan and I are also in love. I don't want to be your enemy, so why not just fight? You and I will join forces to defeat the few and win from the hands of others."

What do you think of seizing another pair of jade stones?"

Nan Ba ​​was stunned, "Joining forces?" Then he put his chin on his hand and muttered: "I will definitely not be able to defeat you. You can steal my jade as easily as farting while eating, but it will be difficult for me to steal your jade. On the contrary, if

Joining forces with you and relying only on your strength is almost a sure win. As long as you are not stupid, you should know which side to choose."

"So, Brother Nan agreed?" Ying Feiyang remained calm and laughed in his heart. Fortunately, he met Nan Ba. Not only could he avoid a fight, but he could also get a thug.

Nazhi Nan Ba ​​took a step back and said, "In the past, I would have agreed without any hesitation." Then he changed the subject, smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "But yesterday, after listening to what you said, brother, I felt a lot. If it had been all day

I want to pick up tail swords after others, and shrink my eggs when I see a master who can't beat me. I will never be able to use the joyful and majestic Kunming sword technique in my life. Even if I am lucky enough to join the Lingxiao Sword Sect, I can only be a

A small character who runs errands for others."

Nan Ba ​​slowly drew his sword, his hand holding the sword was firmer than ever before. As soon as the sword came out, he saw a threatening scene. In front of him, Nan Ba ​​was completely different from the day before. He really looked like a Kunpeng fluttering its wings and soaring into the sky.
