Chapter 28 Senior, you don't want to lose your knowledge, do you?
Chapter 28 Senior, you don’t want your unique skills to be lost, right?
Xiangyang is named Xiangyang because it is located in the Yangtze River of Xiangshui.
Xiangyang is located between the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River. There are continuous mountains on the east and west sides, making it difficult to pass through. However, during the period when Xiangyang City was in power, it was the only place to go around the Huaihe River and connect the north and south.
In particular, Xiangyang City not only connects the north and south, but also connects the east and west. It is in a very special geographical location and is known as the thoroughfare of seven provinces. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times!
Back then, the Southern Song Dynasty relied on this important military town to sweep its troops across the Eurasian continent. The invincible Mongolian army blocked it for decades!
At this time, the moon and stars were sparse, and a mist appeared on the Huaihe River. Song Xuan did not feel sleepy. He stood on the deck of the boat and quietly looked at the continuous water curtain.
"Sir, we are almost at Xiangyang City, do you really want to go there?"
The boatman was a man in his forties. His face had been weathered for half his life, which made him look a bit old. His hair was white at the temples. He looked like an old man in his sixties or seventies in later generations.
Song Xuan glanced at him and said, "Why, you can't go to Xiangyang City?"
"It's not that you can't go, it's just that too many people died in that place, including Mongolians and Song people. When the Tatars broke into Xiangyang City, they massacred the city in order to vent their anger.
Even after decades, that place is still so gloomy that few ordinary people are willing to go near it!"
Song Xuan was silent.
The great chivalrous man Guo Jing, who served the country and the people, guarded Xiangyang City for decades. In the end, his whole family died in the battle in Xiangyang City.
In the early morning, Song Xuan arrived in front of this world-famous majestic city.
The city is filled with the mottled atmosphere of time, and there are pits and pits everywhere, traces of countless battles.
But even so, looking at the huge city that seemed to stretch between heaven and earth and exuded majestic aura, Song Xuan still couldn't help but show a hint of reverence.
Perhaps, this is the backbone of the Chinese nation!
Unyielding, fearless, dare to fight!
The city is not deserted as the boatman said before. On the contrary, over the past few decades, people have been migrating here and settling here.
Song Xuan entered the city, bought some yellow paper, incense candles, and a jar of wine in a shop. After asking around a few times, he came to the top of a city.
It is said that this is the place where Guo Jing, his wife and others died in battle.
Song Xuan lit three sticks of incense, burned the yellow paper, sprinkled the wine on the ground, and then sat on the top of the city, quietly looking at the river outside the city and the endless mountains.
Until the incense candle burned out, Song Xuan looked at the great rivers and mountains and let out a long sigh.
"Don't worry, I will take care of your unfinished business!"
After saying this, he slowly stood up, tiptoed, flew down, and landed directly outside the city.
Outside Xiangyang City, somewhere in the suburbs.
It's an ancient and secluded place, with dense forests, overgrown weeds, and no trace of human life!
The mountain wind blows, the grass and trees float, and the roars of tigers and leopards sound from time to time, which is terrifying and eerie.
Song Xuan's Qinggong movement was unfolded, and his whole body was like a white horse, constantly changing his body shape in this mountain, looking for the legendary sword tomb.
Half a day later, he stood on a cliff, looking down from a high position, and finally a small valley covered by dense forest appeared in his field of vision.
"Finally found!"
This place is really hard to find. Even a martial arts master like him would find it difficult. Ordinary people may not dare to go deep into this place at all.
With a sway of his body, the Wudang Ladder Cloud Jumping Technique was launched, and Song Xuan's body fell down as lightly as catkins, landing in the valley.
The long sword was unsheathed and he cut off the weeds in front of him. After searching for a moment in the valley, a winding path appeared in his field of vision.
As he kept moving forward along the trail, he didn't see the Bodhisattva Snake, which is said to increase internal strength by eating it.
The divine eagle that fed on snakes, had been with Dugu Qiubai, and had Yang Guo as a companion, has also disappeared.
I don't know if he died somewhere, or if he lived in seclusion in an ancient tomb with Yang Guo and his wife.
After walking on the trail for an unknown amount of time, just when Song Xuan was wondering if he was looking in the wrong place, his eyes suddenly opened up, and a large cave came into view.
At the entrance of the cave, a few yellowing feathers can be vaguely seen in the dust. The feathers are very large, far from those of ordinary birds.
Seeing this scene, Song Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
One of the strongest beings among Jin Yong's martial arts, the place where Dugu Qiubai lived in seclusion in his later years was finally found by him!
He stepped forward and picked one up to observe. The feather was as hard as iron and no worse than an ordinary sword. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the feather that the divine eagle had fallen off many years ago.
As expected of a divine eagle, even after decades, the fallen feathers are still roughly intact.
An eagle that knows martial arts, this thing must have become a spirit, right?
The cave is quite spacious, with stone tables, stone benches, and a pile of rubble piled in one corner of the cave, just like a deserted tomb.
You can see the writings carved by the long sword on the cave wall, but it has been too long and has been covered by moss. Song Xuan flew up and cleaned it up, and the writings on it were barely recognizable.
"I have traveled across the rivers and lakes for more than thirty years, killing all the enemies and defeating all the heroes in the world. I have no one left in the world to resist. I have no choice but to live in seclusion in a deep valley and make eagles my friends!"
"Ugh, if you can't find a rival in your life, it's so lonely and embarrassing!"
The final signature: "Sword Demon Dugu seeks defeat!"
Looking at the lines of handwriting, Song Xuan's face was startled, and a picture emerged in his mind.
In the picture, there seems to be a figure waving a long sword in the mountains and forests, and the sword light is like thunder, crisscrossing the sky and the earth!
Song Xuan shook his head, feeling mentally exhausted. In just a short moment, it felt as if he had not rested for ten days and a half, and his head was buzzing.
"Is this sword intention?"
Song Xuan's throat twitched and he swallowed.
As expected of a sword demon who claims to be defeated, even a master like him, who is an acquired eighth level, can easily be affected by the handwriting he left behind.
One can imagine how desperate those warriors who faced Dugu Qiufei were in their hearts at that time!
You don't even need to draw your sword, you just need to stand there, and with the sword's will alone, you can make the enemy's spirit collapse and give you a splitting headache. How can you fight this battle?
Taking a deep breath, Song Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground and circulated Jiuyang's internal energy for several days. Only after the fatigue in his mind disappeared did he focus on the tomb in the corner.
"Senior Dugu, if I offend you, you have a spirit in heaven, please give me your wish!"
"Besides, you don't want your unique skills to be lost, right?"
After saying this, Song Xuan felt a little strange.
Then, he bowed deeply towards the tomb and walked forward.
At this moment, Song Dynasty's Captain Mojin and Tomb Robber Xuan are online!
