Taiqing Sword

Chapter 10, Burial Tomb
After Shangguan Jinghong left Jizhou, he wandered around aimlessly, sometimes stopped to practice kung fu, and sometimes traveled to the mountains to play in the water. On this day, Shangguan Jinghong passed a tea shed, and when he sat down to drink tea, he met an acquaintance.

"Huh? Shangguan boy."

Shangguan Jinghong turned his head when he heard the words, and he saw the fat old man Nangong Lie who was fighting with him in the Shuiyue Palace that day, and he was also very excited at the moment: "Senior Nangong, what a coincidence."

"Haha, I was ordered by the palace lord to do some errands. I didn't expect to meet you. Shangguan boy, where are you going?" Nangong Lie had a good impression of Shangguan Jinghong, and he liked Shangguan Jing. Hong was stunned, last time he could beat himself with a sword, but he was fighting with himself.

"I don't have a fixed place to live, so I don't care where I go." Shangguan Jinghong thought for a while, the only person he knew well here was Narcissus. nowhere to go.

"That's just right, let's go together with Lao Tzu. After finishing the work, you and I will go to Ziwu Palace to play for two days, and we will practice again." It can be said that there are very few people who have a temper with Nangong Lie, and it is easy to meet one. , although the age is half the difference with myself.

"This..." Shangguan Jinghong was a little hesitant.

"I said you boy, I invite you, you just go, mother-in-law what to do."

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." Hearing what Nangong Lie said, Shangguan Jinghong couldn't hesitate any longer.

"Oh~~ That's right, but you have to go with me to do something first."

"I would like to follow Senior Nangong's instructions."

"Don't be old, senior, I don't like politeness." Nangong Lie's temperament is like this, he can do whatever he wants, and his martial arts are already on the top of the list, except for the first seat of one mountain, two sects, three sects and six palaces and some other worldly experts. In addition, the ranking in Jianghu is definitely in the top [-], and almost no one dares to provoke him, so he speaks with a rush of momentum, which sounds extremely uncomfortable to ordinary people.

"Let me say, how about we two sworn brothers?" Nangong Lie could be said to think about it one after another. The age difference is so big that it can be said that Shangguan Jinghong's parents have more than enough, so he proposed to be sworn brothers, which caught Shangguan Jinghong by surprise.

"Ah, ah? Senior, how dare this junior..." Halfway through the conversation, Nangong Lie interrupted with a wave of his hand.

"People in the rivers and lakes, there are so many ways, I don't care about this, do you look down on me?"

"This...well, since senior, oh no, big brother Nangong is ordered, how dare I refuse to obey." Shangguan Jinghong didn't say anything, and immediately agreed to Nangong Lie's request.

"Haha, okay, brother, if my old brothers know that I have met such a young hero, I don't know how much they will envy me." Nangong Lie and Shangguan Jinghong looked at each other, and laughed at the same time, and had to say At this moment, Shangguan Jinghong has really integrated into the Jianghu, not a modern kid who came through time.

The two started on the road talking and laughing, and after walking for half an hour, Shangguan Jinghong suddenly remembered that Nangong Lie said he was going out to do some business, so he asked:
"By the way, big brother, what are you going to do this time? If you need me, just tell me." As soon as Shangguan Jinghong finished speaking, Nangong Lie frowned: "To tell you the truth, what happened this time, Some things are not easy to handle.”

"Oh? Brother, let me hear it." When Shangguan Jinghong heard this, even people like Nangong Lie found it difficult to handle, and immediately aroused Shangguan Jinghong's interest.

"Well, brother, come on, sit down, I'll tell you slowly." Nangong Lie took Shangguan Jinghong to sit down under the big tree by the road, sighed and said: "Half a month ago, I came to Ziwu Palace for a while." A mysterious person invited the old palace lord to compete. This person is extremely skilled in martial arts. Several older brothers in the palace and I fought against him in turn and were all defeated. In the end, the old palace lord made a move and narrowly won half a move, forcing him to retreat. At first, I thought the matter would settle down, but who knew that seven days ago, the old palace lord suddenly suffered from a strange poison, and no one could solve it after searching all the famous doctors. Finally, he had to seek help from Li Wuji, the lord of Xianxin Sect, one of the two sects. Gao, it is confirmed that the poison in the old Palace Master's body is extremely rare. It is a kind of flower poison in the Western Regions called Mixinzui. People who are poisoned will gradually lose their minds and eventually degenerate into murderous monsters. This is what Li Wuji said. The blood of the spirit beast can detoxify the old palace master, so there is a glimmer of hope."

"So big brother came out this time to find spirit beasts?" Shangguan Jinghong asked.

"It's not looking for, but begging." Nangong Lie said with a wry smile.

"So, big brother knows where there are spirit beasts, so what are we waiting for?" Shangguan Jinghong immediately stood up.

"Brother, don't worry, listen to my brother." Nangong Lie hurriedly dropped him, and continued: "Although I know where this spirit beast is, it's hard to find it."

"What is the reason?"

"One hundred miles further forward, there is Mengshan Mountain. There is a valley deep in Mengshan Mountain, which is called the Burial Heart Tomb." Nangong Lie was a little frightened when he mentioned this place.Shangguan Jinghong didn't interrupt, waiting for him to continue: "This burial tomb is surrounded by miasma. If there is no first-class master's internal strength cultivation, it is extremely difficult to pass, and even if you pass through the miasma, there are countless poisonous insects and beasts in the valley. Even a single bite from a mosquito can kill you instantly, so there are many bones around the heart burial mound, let alone these, the key is the owner of the heart burial mound, hey..."

"Ah? Brother, is there anyone living in such a terrifying place?" Shangguan Jinghong was a little surprised.

"That's right. Not only are there people living there, but the owner of the heart burial mound has a spirit beast named Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox. Of course, I've only heard of it, but I haven't seen it before." Nangong Lie said and stopped here, Shangguan was surprised Hong interjected: "Could it be that elder brother is afraid that the nine-tailed fox is just a legend? It doesn't exist at all?"

"That's right, the owner of the Burial Heart Tomb is a woman named Ning Ningxin. I don't know her exact age, but according to rumors, her martial arts skills are as high as that of Senior Qing Xuzi, the head teacher of Kunlun Mountain, and her medical skills are extremely high. And Ning Ning Xin Make a rule that if you don't save people, if any man enters the valley, you will be killed without mercy!" Nangong Lie grinned bitterly again.

On the other hand, Shangguan Jinghong laughed loudly when he heard this: "Brother, let's find a girl."

"Brother, you are very clever, but even if the woman goes, if you know that the man saved by the spirit fox is so easy to say whether we will die or not, you will have to take the lives of innocent people in vain."

"This cold heart is so heartless?" Shangguan Jinghong was a little annoyed, he just didn't save people, why did he kill people randomly: "Brother, no matter how good her martial arts are, can the two of us still be able to defeat her?"

"Hehe, brother, it's not the eldest brother who hit you. Although your martial arts are much higher than mine, even if you are on par with the old palace master, Ning Ningxin is comparable to Qing Xuzi."

"Brother, is this Qingxuzi very powerful?" Shangguan Jinghong really didn't know who Qingxuzi was.

"Brother, we haven't come up with any good solutions. Let me tell you. There are many sects in Jianghu, but the real dominance of one side is one mountain, two sects, three sects, six palaces and twelve major sects. This mountain is Kunlun. Mountain, the second sect is Xianxin Sect and Tianyi Sword Sect, the third gate is Huangquan Gate, Guiyi Gate, Qisha Gate, and the sixth palace is our Shuiyue Palace, Yihua Palace, Yunxiao Palace, Liufa Tiangong, and Xiaoyao Palace. With us in Ziwu Palace, although these twelve factions are listed at the top of Jianghu sects, it is actually difficult for the other eleven factions to shake the Kunlun Mountain faction even if they join forces. 200 years old, his cultivation level can be said to be heavenly, and he has seven disciples, all of whom are excellent in martial arts, even the heads of other sects are only high but not low, with my martial arts, it may not be as close You will die in Huangquan, you, hehe, maybe you can make a move. And the one in Buried Heart Tomb is as famous as Qing Xuzi, so what if you say that we can do it together?" Nangong Lie's words shocked Shangguan. Zhen was on the spot, originally thought that even if he could not roam the rivers and lakes, he was more than enough to protect himself, but now it seems that he is really a frog at the bottom of a well, and there is a sky beyond the sky.

"Wouldn't Ning Xin have to live to be 200 years old?" Shangguan Jinghong asked in surprise.

"No, I don't know the exact age, but it won't be over 40 years old. It is said that she once learned martial arts from a worldly expert, and later got the inheritance from that person, so she has the current cultivation level." Nangong Lie's answer was also ambiguous. .

"Then...then how do we get the blood of this spirit fox." After a while, Shangguan Jinghong recovered and asked Nangong Lie.

"No way, I came here this time to drag you into the water, but the old palace lord has treated me with great kindness, no matter what the result is, I will give it a try. If I die, at least you can report me a letter Go back to Ziwu Palace, don't delay the old Palace Master's injury." Nangong Lie was a little helpless, thinking in his heart that he hoped that Shangguan Jinghong would not blame himself.

"Brother, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain. I don't believe that there are ruthless people in this world if I have to face something together." Shangguan Jinghong said and got up.

"Okay, brother, I was a little guilty for dragging you into the water, but now I see that I was hypocritical, let's go. Go and meet this condensed heart." Nangong Lie didn't know that he brought Shangguan Jinghong this time. , Of course, this is something for later.

The two walked all the way, discussing all the way but did not come up with any countermeasures, saying that they would arrive at the grave in sight.

Miasma filled the surrounding air, and the dry bones all over the ground made people feel creepy. The two held their breath and moved forward cautiously.

Nan Gonglie was afraid that Shangguan Jinghong's youthful vigor would not know how deep it was, so he kept telling him along the way: "Brother, be careful, don't let the miasma get on your body, and be careful of poisonous insects."

He chanted it countless times along the way, and Shangguan Jinghong was slightly touched when he heard it: "Understood, brother, be careful yourself, don't talk too much, you will inhale miasma."

I don't know how long I walked, but I just watched the surrounding environment change like the four seasons. The previous scene was still eerie, but when I arrived at the boundary marker of the Burial Heart Tomb, it was immediately picturesque.

"Brother, this is the Burial Heart Tomb? This..." Shangguan Jinghong really wanted to shout that the name obviously does not match the official picture.

"It should be, let me look ahead..."

Before Nangong Lie finished speaking, the sound of the zither came out from the valley, and the two of them stopped immediately. Listening to the ethereal sound of the zither, they suddenly felt their blood surging, as if they had been hit hard. "Sound Kill" flashed in people's hearts

The two of them immediately exercised their kung fu to seal off their sense of hearing, but the sound of the piano did not seem to enter the ears, but directly captured the soul. Shangguan Jinghong had a hundred years of skill, although he could not fully exert it, he could still resist one or two, but it was hard for Nangong Lie. Listening to the sound of the piano, I had an unbearable headache, as if my body was about to be torn apart.Shangguan Jinghong saw that Nangong Lie was in a hurry and wanted to help, but he had enough energy to spare and was about to be unable to resist. The sound of the piano suddenly turned, and the two felt the pressure was greatly reduced. Nangong Lie spat out a mouthful of blood, and it was too late Adjust and rest, run your skills with all your strength, and dare not slack off.Shangguan Jinghong also forcibly suppressed the churning qi and blood, and put all his strength on guard. After a while, Shangguan Jinghong slowly relaxed listening to the sound of the piano, unconsciously feeling caught in it, and kept thinking in his heart, "This sound of the piano is so familiar, Where did you hear it, wait, "White Fox", what's going on, isn't this a modern song "White Fox", why is it here at this time."

The more Shangguan Jinghong heard it, the more frightened he became. Could it be that the owner of the grave also came through time travel?The sound of the piano was repeated over and over again, Shangguan Jinghong thought to himself, it doesn't matter if she came from time travel, just try it out, Shangguan Jinghong took a step forward, and slowly sang:

"I am a fox who has practiced for thousands of years, waiting for thousands of years to be lonely. Can anyone hear me crying in the dead of night, and see me dancing in dimly lit places?

………………

When I love you, you are penniless and studying hard. When I leave you, you are engraved on the gold list.

………………

Eachother vows are turned into nothingness..."

After Shangguan Jinghong sang a song, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly. A moment later, a white shadow rushed out of the valley. In front of him, there was a silver-haired woman with a beautiful face standing in front of him, with two lines of tears hanging on her face. For some reason, Shangguan stared at her in shock, and remembered the scene of parting from Narcissus. I don't know what happened to Narcissus, Brother Nangong is right, I can't resist this woman, I'm afraid I'm going to make a mistake in the three-year agreement, thinking of this, Shangguan Jinghong's eyes flashed the same melancholy as the woman.

"You are Ning Ningxin?" After a long time, Shangguan Jinghong broke his calm and said.

"Who are you, and who made the song you sang?" Ning Ning asked coldly, as if if Shangguan Jinghong's answer did not satisfy her, she would not kill someone immediately.

I don't know if he was infected by Ning Xin's emotions, or because he thought of Narcissus, Shangguan Jinghong was also a little sad, but the story still needs to be made up. He sighed and said: "I made the song. When I heard the girl's piano, I thought of a story, and I felt it, and if the girl wants to hear it, I will tell the girl this story." After speaking, he stared at Ning Ningxin, afraid that what he said might not suit her.

Ning Ningxin lowered her beautiful eyes, walked a few steps slowly, and said softly, "Let's talk."
