Lou Xiangzhen thought for a moment and said, "You should know about Nanhua Palace, right?"
Nanhua Palace!?
When An Jing heard this, he began to think rapidly in his mind. He had naturally heard of this before.
Dayan Jiu Road and Nanping Road are adjacent to the land of Nanman, so there are many majestic and towering mountains, and there are countless famous mountains, the most famous of which is called Nanhua Mountain.
It is said that this mountain is so high that it is the tallest mountain in the world. Standing on it, you can overlook the world.
During the Zhou Dynasty, there was a sect named Nanhua Sect on Nanhua Mountain.
This sect was also one of the top sects in the world at the time. It has been passed down for nearly a thousand years and its strength is comparable to that of the True One Sect back then.
Later, the world was in chaos, and the nine kingdoms fought for hegemony. The princes gathered strength among the rivers and lakes to strengthen themselves, causing the rivers and lakes to become divided, confronting and fighting each other.
At that time, the Nanhua Sect supported one of the largest vassal states, Southern Shu, but the monarch of Southern Shu did not have such great ambitions. He only wanted to settle down in a corner, rely on the passes that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and be his own king of Shu.
However, the leader of the Nanhua Sect is indeed a radical faction, and he wants Nanshu to dominate the world, thereby strengthening the Nanhua Sect and taking control of the entire world.
At that time, Dayan was so majestic that it swallowed up the three countries and had the potential to sweep the world. Countries formed an alliance to fight against Dayan's cavalry.
At that time, the leader of the Nanhua Sect personally went to the allied camp and guarded the Yue Marshal personally.
This is not only a battle between countries, but also a battle among rivers and lakes, including the Zhenyi Sect, Demon Sect, Nanhua Sect, Wusheng Sect and other top Jianghu forces in the world.
In a great battle, the leader of the Nanhua Sect killed several masters of the Zhenyi Sect in succession, and was eventually besieged by masters of the Zhenyi Sect and the Yuheng Sword Sect, and was severely injured and defeated.
In addition, in the Valley of the Wind at that time, the Blue River Sect defected on the battlefield, and Yan Guo Wushuang's iron cavalry broke through the city and broke into the camp of the Five Nations Allied Forces.
The five-nation coalition collapsed in an instant, their vitality was severely damaged, and their national strength gradually declined. This battle completely unleashed the momentum of Great Yan, making all countries fearful and terrified.
In the next ten years or so, Dayan began to regain its strength and gradually annexed the other five countries.
The first target of the Dayan cavalry heading south was Nanshu.
Historical records record that the monarch of Southern Shu was so frightened when he heard about Dayan's cavalry that he went out barefooted all night long, shouting loudly to protect him, and even had the imperial army guard him beside the dragon bed when he slept.
Dayan's cavalry pushed forward in the wind and the remaining clouds, and soon broke into the capital of Nanshu.
The monarch of Southern Shu had given up and wanted to surrender, but the Nanhua Sect was taking the lead in the battle, waiting for the help of the other four countries. In this discord, Southern Shu was finally destroyed.
The Nanhua Sect was also driven out and reduced to ashes.
All the classics and martial arts on Nanhua Mountain were wiped out by the Yan royal family, but the buildings of the Nanhua Sect are still preserved on the mountain.
After the founding of Dayan, there have always been sects who wanted to establish a sect on Nanhua Mountain, which is a natural treasure and full of blessings, and recruit disciples. However, Dayan has never issued this founding order.
It wasn't until more than a hundred years ago that the increasingly powerful Qisha Sect wanted to move the mountain gate. At that time, the head of the Qisha Sect made this request to the Human Emperor.
At the same time, Wushuang Palace also valued the gate of Nanhua Mountain.
The emperor came up with a plan and issued a mountain gate order.
This mountain gate order only has twenty years of use rights. The two major forces, Qishao Sect and Wushuang Palace, sent one person to compete. Whoever wins can get twenty years of use rights of Nanhua Mountain.
At this point, the centuries-long struggle between the two sects began.
However, after Wushuang Palace won the first time, it never won this contest in the next hundred years. Therefore, the Seven Evils Sect has occupied Nanhua Mountain for hundreds of years.
An Jing hesitated and said: "Of course I know this. What is the relationship between this Jinwan and Nanhua Palace?"
Lou Xiangzhen said slowly: "There is a golden pill hidden among the stone statues in the library of Nanhua Palace."
"oh?"
An Jing raised his eyebrows and was shocked.
There is a golden pill hidden among the stone statues of Nanhua Palace. Who would have thought that?
Lou Xiangzhen said slowly: "This golden pill was hidden by the masters of Nanhua Palace. The sect leader of Nanhua Palace planned to use it for his heirs, but Dayan Iron Cavalry came too fast, and he had not taken out the golden pill yet...
..."
An Jing suddenly realized: "That's it."
"My junior brother asked me to take this golden pill and give it to you."
Lou Xiangzhen looked at An Jing with a hint of meaning in his eyes: "But I want to see your strength and means."
Nowadays, Nanhua Palace is controlled by Qisha Cult.
What kind of power is the Seven Evils Sect!?
In the Great Yan Jianghu, the Qisha Sect is a sect whose strength outweighs its fame. In addition, the masters of this sect are unusually low-key, so people in the world rarely mention this sect.
But in the eyes of martial arts masters, the Qisha Sect is a sect that is not weaker than the seven major sects.
The Seven Evils are cultivated in their sect, and they breed various poisonous poisons. They are vicious and vicious, and are no weaker than the Five Poison Sect. It is said that the Seven Evils sect was started by the Southern Barbarians, and it is still inextricably linked to the Southern Barbarians.
This is also the reason why the Human Emperor is on guard against the Qisha Sect. He originally wanted the Wushuang Palace to become a constraint for the Qisha Sect, but he never thought that the Wushuang Palace was not the strength of the Qisha Sect at all and had been suppressed by the Qisha Sect.
So far, Wushuang Palace has only been in charge of Nanhua Mountain for twenty years. If it were not for the support of the imperial court, Wushuang Palace might have been eliminated from the world long ago.
Later, the Qisha Sect had been keeping to itself and was extremely restrained. After several generations of human emperors, they gradually lost their wariness against them. However, the Qisha Sect's secret strength had greatly increased, and it was no worse than the other major sects on the surface.
Others don't know these secret information, but Lou Xiangzhen and Jiang Sanjia know it very well.
Jiang Sanjia's letter to Lou Xiangzhen said that he asked him to take out the golden pill and give it to An Jing to help him reach the realm of smallpox.
But Lou Xiangzhen didn't want to take action so easily. He wanted to see the strength of this ghost swordsman.
"Is the Seven Evils Sect dangerous?"
An Jing asked.
Lou Xiangzhen said calmly: "For me, it's just a matter of searching for something."
An Ding nodded and said nothing.
Lou Xiangzhen is at the level of a master, and his swordsmanship is extremely high and his strength is profound. There are only a few in the world who can match him.
Nanping Road is next to Jiangnan Road. If you go to Nanping Road, it will probably take some time. This is where Anjing hesitates.
But improving strength is also a top priority right now.
There was a trace of amusement in Lou Xiangzhen's eyes. Although the Seven Evils Sect was good in strength, it could not be compared with the True One Sect. If the ghost swordsman was afraid of this, how could he face the True One Sect who covered the sky with his hand?
“Since it’s something you have in your pocket, let’s take a trip.”
An Jing said softly.
When Lou Xiangzhen heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
"good."
........
The next day, Linjiang City Taoist Mansion.
Chu Huai's body was placed in the lobby, covered with a brand new white cloth.
"Huair!"
Chu Nanying walked in quickly and looked at the corpse under a piece of white cloth in front of her. She felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her body shook.
Behind him was a middle-aged man wearing armor, it was Qiu Dekun, the commander of the Jiangnan Daofu Army.
Cui Yong's face next to the corpse was extremely pale. He did not expect that Chu Huai would be killed after he had only been out for a few minutes. He died quietly and could not find any clues about his qi.
Chu Nanying tremblingly opened the white cloth, and what came into view was Chu Huai's face.
Two lines of old tears flowed from his cheeks.
"Cui Yong..."
"My subordinate is here."
Cui Yong said quickly.
Chu Nanying whispered: "What on earth is going on?"
When Cui Yong heard this, he quickly told everything that happened last night, but naturally he didn't tell Chu Huai the real purpose of letting him go out, he just said to buy some cakes and items.
Chu Nanying's voice was a little hoarse, "Cui Yong, please tell the truth."
Although he seldom paid attention to Chu Huai, he knew his Chu Huai's character very well. How could he suddenly want to eat cakes in the middle of the night?
"this...."
Cui Yong suddenly hesitated.
"Say it."
Chu Nanying's words were not strong, but rather a bit tired.
"Why."
Cui Yong sighed, and then told what Chu Huai had done recently.
"It's my fault. I knew his nature was hard to change."
Chu Nanying sighed heavily, "Dekun, do you think I indulged him too much?"
Qiu Dekun whispered: "Master Chuhuai has lost his mother since he was a child, and he doesn't spend much time with the Taoist master. He has a somewhat eccentric temperament, and some abnormalities are normal, but he is not guilty of death..."
“Does not sin lead to death?”
Chu Nanying laughed at herself in a low voice, and then looked at the sword wound on Chu Huai's neck.
The sword mark was only the size of a thin line, and the blood on it had been completely wiped away at this moment. If you weren't a person with excellent eyesight, you wouldn't be able to see this line at all.
The next moment, Chu Nanying felt that his heart began to beat rapidly, and then his face turned red.
"Plop!" "Plop!"
His heart beat harder and harder, and blood flowed crazily throughout his body.
Chu Nanying took a few steps back, then tightly covered her chest with both hands.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The heart beat more violently, like beating a drum, and Chu Nanying's face turned the color of pig liver.
"careful!"
Qiu Dekun shouted when he saw this.
Hearing this low voice, Chu Nanying slowly came back to his senses, and then gasped for air.
At this moment, he seemed to have walked out of the gate of hell, with a feeling of surviving a disaster.
"Sir, are you okay?"
Qiu Dekun asked quickly.
"This...is this?"
Chu Nanying pointed to the wound on the neck.
"Don't look, this may be the sword intention left behind!"
Qiu Dekun said quickly.
"Sword Intent!?"
The faces of everyone around him changed greatly, and they did not dare to look at the thin line on Chu Huai's neck.
Sword Intention, only the top swordsmen can use the sword, but there will be residual Sword Intent left.
Chu Nanying also knew the sword intention, and had seen the sword intention of many swordsmen. He had also observed Lin Yiyang's sword intention, but he had never seen such a weird sword intention.
It was actually able to control his heartbeat and make the blood in his body boil. If Qiu Dekun hadn't shouted just now, he might have turned into a corpse now.
Chu Nanying said to herself: "Dekun, is there a sword intention in this world that can control other people's heartbeats?"
"Control heartbeat?"
Qiu Dekun shook his head when he heard this, "I have never heard of such a weird sword intention."
Cui Yong and other masters also shook their heads.
The sword intention is not the power of the sword. The sword intention is just the true meaning of the sword left by the swordsman. It has no lethality. Even the sword intention left by the five great swordsmen Lin Yiyang only has a majestic power and cannot hurt people.
Chu Nanying said nothing. He knew that the person who could kill Chu Huai silently must be a master.
At this moment, the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers was heard outside, which was very lively.
"How is this going?"
Chu Nanying asked.
"I'll go out and take a look."
Cui Yong walked out quickly.
Qiu Dekun asked: "Sir, do you want to search Linjiang City now? I feel that the murderer has not gone far yet..."
Chu Nanying looked at the corpse in front of her quietly for a while and then said: "Dekun, do you think I should find the murderer?"
Qiu Dekun frowned and said: "Kill to pay for life, debt to pay for money, this is a matter of course."
"A life for a life?"
Chu Nanying gave a bitter smile, "How many people did Huai'er kill? How can I repay the lives of so many people?"
"this......."
Chu Nanying continued: "The person who killed Hua'er was actually not someone else, but me. If I hadn't taught my son poorly, how could he have done this?"
"grown ups....."
Not long after, Cui Yong hurried in.
Chu Nanying looked at the body and asked numbly: "What's going on?"
Cui Yong swallowed his saliva and said, "It's the people of Linjiang City. Every household of them is celebrating..."
"celebrate?"
Chu Nanying was stunned and said: "What are you celebrating?"
Cui Yong said cautiously: "Congratulations on the death of the young master..."
Hearing this, Chu Nanying suddenly froze, and it took a long time before she started laughing wildly.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"puff!"
The laughter stopped suddenly, a blood arrow sprayed out, and Chu Nanying fell heavily to the ground.
"Taoist!" "Master!"
.........
Donglin Road, Tianku Mountain, Moyun Cave.
Tianku Mountain is one of the five famous mountains in Dayan. It is a famous and steep mountain range in Dayan. The mountain roads are winding and steep as swords. Few people usually visit this place.
But among the world, this place is very famous.
Because there is a peerless master who lives in seclusion here, Master Moyun.
This person has a very high level of cultivation, ranking fifth on the dragon list in the world, and he also raises a strange beast, the spirit-seeking rat.
The spirit-seeking rat can find traces of people through qi machines.
Master Yuhuai brought his two disciples to the Moyun Cave in Tianku Mountain.
"Master, does Master Moyun really live in this deep mountain?" Songnian next to him asked.
This Songnian was originally a disciple of Wuliang Taoist Temple, but later he was valued by Master Yuhuai and became a disciple.
"Not sure."
Master Yuhuai shook his head, "I'm not very familiar with Master Moyun either."
Songnian muttered secretly: In these deep mountains and old forests, there is no village in front and no shop behind. How can someone without great perseverance live in seclusion here? It seems that Master Moyun is really a master.
"Who's in front!?"
At this moment, a cold drink sounded.
Then, a graceful and enchanting woman appeared in front of the three of them.
The Great Immortal of Yuhuai cupped his hands and said, "I am a poor Taoist who teaches Yuhuai. I come here this time to pay a visit to Master Moyun."
"Zhenyijiao Da Zhenren Yuhuai?"
The beautiful woman's eyebrows stretched slightly, and then she said: "Please come inside."
As she spoke, the beautiful woman twisted her slender waist and walked towards the cave with lotus steps. There was a sense of charm in her every move, which made people feel angry in their belly.
Master Yuhuai didn't look sideways, but the two disciples next to him were blushing and their heartbeats began to accelerate.
Entering the cave, the lights were brightly lit, and the three Yuhuai people discovered that the cave was very luxuriously decorated, with tables, chairs, calligraphy and paintings, bookshelves, vases, etc. all available.
Moreover, there were several beautiful women standing nearby, with spring in their eyes and smiles on their lips.
"Please come inside."
The beautiful woman walked forward.
The cave is winding and separated from each other into several rooms, and the layout is even more exquisite and decent.
This is not a cave, it is clearly a mansion in the mountains.
Not long after, a group of people arrived at the door of a quiet room.
"Master, Master Yuhuai of Zhenyi Sect is here." The beautiful woman said respectfully to Jingshi.
"I see."
A dry, unpleasant sound came from inside.
"Click!" "Click!"
Not long after, the stone door rose, and a figure appeared in front of the three people.
The man was not tall, about the size of a seven or eight-year-old child. He had an ugly face and looked out of place in his white clothes.
Turns out to be a dwarf!
Songnian was greatly surprised. He didn't expect Master Moyun to be such an ugly dwarf.
Yu Huai's expression did not change, he cupped his fists and said, "Yu Huai pays homage to Master Mo Yun."
Master Moyun said with a smile: "You're welcome, Brother Ling's letter has arrived first. If you want me to leave the mountain before now, I still have a few questions to ask."
Master Yuhuai nodded, "Master Moyun, please ask."
Before coming, he had already learned about Master Moyun's temperament from Ling Yuanjing.
Master Moyun asked: "Has the strength of this ghost swordsman reached the level of a master?"
Master Yuhuai clasped his fists and said, "This person's strength fluctuates, but he is at most half a master. It is absolutely impossible to reach a master."
"That's good." Master Moyun nodded slightly, and then said: "In that case, how are you preparing your things?"
Because of the spirit-seeking rats, many people in the world have asked him to take action, but his first condition is that he will never take action against a master in the master realm, and his second condition is that he must give him the benefits in advance.
These two requirements are indispensable, otherwise he will not take action.
"These are three hundred-yuan pills."
Master Yuhuai took out a porcelain vase and threw it to Master Moyun.
"good."
Master Moyun took the porcelain bottle with a glint in his eyes.
Baiyuan Dan is a famous healing medicine that can regenerate flesh and blood, connect menstruation and extend bones. It is said that it can bring back people who are about to die.
This elixir is refined by the Zhenyi Sect, which requires a large amount of precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It takes only two furnaces in thirty years to produce it, and it is difficult to find even one pill for a thousand dollars.
Master Moyun smiled and said: "In that case, then I will accompany Master Yuhuai on a trip to Jiangnan Road."
Seeing this, the beautiful woman next to her knelt down with a trace of reluctance in her eyes, "Mr. Lang, how long will it take for you to come back?"
Master Moyun gently touched the beautiful woman's jade legs, a smile uglier than crying appeared on his ugly face, and said: "Don't worry, as long as the ghost swordsman's whereabouts are found, I will be back immediately."
"Then I am in the cave, waiting for my husband to return in triumph."
The beautiful woman had spring in her eyes and smiled provocatively.
