Taiqing Sword

Chapter 37, Royal Secret Realm

"Master Shangguan's servant, please see the Patriarch of the Leng Family!!!" The person standing in the forest shouting was Qin Zheng, who, following Shangguan Jinghong's instructions, did not dare to stop on the road from the capital to the Leng's family. , finally arrived at Leng's house late that night, came to this forest and found that it turned out to be a formation, not because Qin Zheng couldn't break through, but because he was afraid that Leng's family would misunderstand and delay Shangguan's surprise event, so he didn't rush in.

Leng Lingfeng, who was preparing to leave for the capital, was startled when he heard the call. With such deep internal strength, he was a little puzzled when he heard that it was Mr. Shangguan's servant. Could it be that Mr. Shangguan was Jinghong?Immediately told Leng Han: "Leng Han, go and see, who is here?"

Leng Han nodded in response, turned around and left, Leng Lingfeng hurriedly added: "By the way, you must be respectful to the person who comes. This person is very powerful, and now I don't know if he is an enemy or a friend." Leng Han quickly said yes, and turned around out the door.

Leng Han came to the forest and looked at the old man who was standing with his hands behind his back, and cupped his hands: "Senior came to Leng's house, what's the matter?"

Qin Zheng nodded: "There is indeed something, but my son ordered that he must meet the head of the Leng family before he can speak."

Leng Han only frowned: "Senior put me in a difficult situation, the Patriarch has something important to do, I really dare not interrupt easily, if it is convenient for the senior, the younger generation can convey it for me."

Qin Zheng suddenly remembered the sign Shangguan Jinghong gave him, and quickly took it out of his arms: "Little brother, I have no malicious intentions. This is the sign my son gave me. I do have important matters to meet with Patriarch Leng."

When Leng Han saw the token of the Leng family, he was startled at first, and then said: "Senior, please wait a moment, this junior is going to report." He hurriedly entered the hall: "Patriarch, someone here is holding my token of the Leng family, see Still missing?"

Leng Lingfeng glanced at Leng Lingkong, the third younger brother beside him, and thought for a while: "Go, invite someone in."

Leng Han hurriedly invited Qin Zheng in, and Leng Lingfeng asked with a smile: "May I ask what is the name of this old gentleman?"

Qin Zheng answered the wrong question: "May I ask that Your Excellency is the head of Patriarch Leng?"

Leng Lingfeng nodded, Qin Zheng was confirmed and gave a salute: "I'm Qin Zheng, I'm here to meet Patriarch Leng by order of Young Master."

"Qin Zheng?!" Leng Lingfeng was taken aback when he heard the name: "Could it be Qin Zheng, one of the 'yin and yang judgments' who dominated the world back then?"

"Patriarch Leng is very honored to know that he is old." Qin Zheng obviously didn't think that there would be anyone who could remember him after he hadn't been out of the rivers and lakes for nearly 40 years.

"Who is the young master Brother Qin is talking about?"

"Young Master Shangguan shocked you."

Leng Lingfeng was a little surprised when he heard it: "Jinghong? Brother Qin is his servant?"

"Exactly."

"What exactly is going on?"

Qin Zheng also didn't explain: "Patriarch Leng, as for the cause and effect of the matter, I will talk to Patriarch Leng later, this time the young master sent me to the Leng family to inform you of two things."

Leng Lingfeng's heart tightened, and he didn't dare to be negligent if it was a big deal for an innate master like Qin Zheng to send a message: "Brother Qin, what did Jinghong say?"

"The young master said that he knew that Patriarch Leng was about to leave for the secret realm of the royal family this time. The young master said, please try to avoid killing as much as possible when Patriarch Leng goes to the secret realm. The two major priests in the palace, Peng Anyu and An Yunshan, are his friends. I hope Patriarch Leng will be merciful. There is also a person in the palace named Wei Xianzhong whose martial arts has reached perfection, please be careful, Patriarch Leng." Qin Zheng finished all Shangguan Jinghong's instructions in one breath.

Leng Lingfeng nodded thoughtfully: "Please trouble Brother Qin, Jinghong is my grandson-in-law, I will definitely not touch his friend, but how does Jinghong know so many things, this time the secrets of our four great families Discuss, why..."

Qin Zheng thought for a while, but still decided not to reveal the identity of Shangguan Jinghong's priest: "I didn't say anything about the young master, and I don't like to talk too much as a servant, but the young master ordered me to bring the words. Take extra precautions, Patriarch Leng, be careful."

Leng Lingfeng nodded: "Oh, thank you Brother Qin, Leng Han, go and arrange for Brother Qin to rest."

Qin Zheng waved his hand: "Thank you, Patriarch Leng, for your kindness, but this old man must return as soon as possible. The young master may still need it. I dare not stay here, so I am leaving."

Leng Lingfeng didn't force him to stay: "Oh, okay, goodbye."

After sending Qin Zheng away, Leng Lingfeng looked at Leng Lingkong: "Third brother, how do we deal with this matter?"

Leng Lingkong thought for a while and said: "Brother, the four great families are connected with each other, even though it is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, we can't be alone, we still have to go, but since the news from Jinghong, we can also take precautions, now It seems that Wei Xianzhong is a formidable opponent, and since the other two are friends of Jinghong, they probably won't poison my Leng family, even if we can't enter the secret realm, we must go."

Leng Lingfeng also agreed with these words: "Third brother, this time it's just you and me."

…………

At this time, Wei Xianzhong in the imperial palace was also extremely busy. He first hurriedly arranged the actions of Dongchang, and then quietly sneaked into the harem and stopped in front of a rockery.

"Eunuch Wei is here, it's a long way to welcome you." An old voice came.

Wei Xianzhong didn't care about the disdain in his voice: "Eunuch Wang, you have served the Empress Dowager for a long time. Although you and I have always had some grudges, this time our family is here because of the royal family's affairs. Does the Eunuch Wang want to stand by and watch?"

There was a sudden silence, and after a long time, the voice came again: "Eunuch Wei, is it because of the royal family's secret realm?"

"That's right, our family restarted the East Factory, and found out that not only those old guys are ready to move this time, but even the four great families of Yan Leng and Yuan Yun are also coming to intervene this time. Facing the four great families at the same time."

"Our family knows, Eunuch Wei, please go back, our family will definitely help when the time comes."

……

An Yunshan is now accompanying his wife Yulan and son An Ming to discuss the family life.

"Yulan, Brother Shangguan has agreed to take our son as his apprentice."

Yulan didn't have too many surprises: "Really, speaking of it, since our son practiced the magical skills left by Brother Shangguan, the strange disease really hasn't recurred." Under the sect, you must respect your teacher, in order to save you, he passed on his magical skills to you, we must not be ungrateful, understand?"

An Ming nodded vigorously: "Father, mother, don't worry, I will practice hard with the master."

An Yunshan breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Ming'er, when your father is away, you have to take good care of your mother, and you can't let him be wronged, you know?"

"Got it, Dad."

Yulan said angrily, "Why are you saying this in front of your son?"

"Okay, okay, don't say anything."

……

This night is destined to be a sleepless night. Shangguan Jinghong is meditating and exhaling at this time, adjusting his best state. No one knows what will happen when he enters the secret realm. Forget it, we can only take one step at a time.

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Xuan waited early at the gate of the palace, and when he saw Shangguan Jinghong coming, he said anxiously: "My lord, why did you come, let's not be late."

Shangguan Jinghong shook his head helplessly: "Okay, Elder Chu, this time I will definitely meet the enemy who arrested you when I enter the palace, so don't cause trouble."

Chu Xuan didn't know if he heard it clearly, but he kept urging: "Understood, son, let's go."

After entering the palace, I met Zhao Tianjing: "Your Majesty, when are you leaving?"

Zhao Tianjing looked at Shangguan Jinghong and said: "Here you come? Let's leave now, don't delay." After speaking, he led the way to the harem. Peng Anyu and An Yunshan were not there, which made Shangguan Jinghong a little lucky, otherwise Chu Xuan's temper is really afraid that they will fight.

Zhao Tianjing brought the two of them to a rockery, pointed to the entrance of the cave and said, "This is here, you go in, the secret realm should be opened in an hour, remember, the secret realm is only open for ten days, if you can't open it after ten days, If you come out, you will have to wait another hundred years."

Shangguan Jinghong nodded, led Chu Xuan into the cave, and waited silently for the secret realm to open. Half an hour later, he heard the sound of swords and swords crisscrossing outside the cave. Ignore it and just meditate and wait for the secret realm to open. After a while, Chu Xuan shouted: "My lord, son, it's open, the secret realm is open."

Shangguan Jinghong opened his eyes and looked around: "Go, go in."

Once you step into the secret realm, the scenery in front of you is completely new. What kind of secret realm is this? It is clearly another world, with green grass and towering green hills, but there are no living things at a glance.

Shangguan Jinghong said: "Old Chu, let's go in and have a look."

After walking for a while, Chu Xuan left and yelled: "Oh my God, young master, look at this Polygonum multiflorum, I'm afraid it's 500 years old, wow, young master, look at ginseng..."

Shangguan Jinghong ignored Chu Xuan, turned around on his own, and walked forward for about ten miles, the scenery changed again, it was no longer as pleasant as it was at the beginning, surrounded by dead vines, it looked more like a mass grave: "Old Chu, look over there."

Chu Xuan looked at Shangguan Jinghong's finger: "My lord, it looks like a few dry bones."

"Come on, let's go take a look."

When he got closer, he saw that it was indeed a few dead bones, and Chu Xuan circled around a few times: "My lord, this man was cut in half, the wound was smooth, what a fast knife."

Shangguan Jinghong nodded and continued walking, Chu Xuan suddenly exclaimed: "Young Master, look quickly." Shangguan Jinghong turned back immediately.

"My lord, this is the karmic fire lotus flower. It is said that the sinful ones will grow this flower after death. It is mostly used by people from the Demon Sect to practice martial arts. If this flower is brought to the Demon Sect, it will probably be snatched wildly." Chu Xuanyou said quietly.

Shangguan Jinghong took out a painting from his bosom, and handed it to Chu Xuan: "Old Chu, this time we are mainly looking for this sword, and we also collected the spirit treasure with life extension, we will search separately, seven days later , round at the entrance."

Chu Xuan took the scroll and glanced at it: "Okay, my lord, I'll go over there." Seeing Shangguan Jinghong nodding, he flew there immediately.

Shangguan Jinghong was not in a hurry to go deeper, but kept looking around, always feeling that there was something attracting him, turned around and stopped in front of an iron bar, and said to himself: "Could it be you? Is it?" Shangguan Jinghong stretched out his hand to touch the iron rod, except for the rusty spots, there was nothing proud of it, but there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart, thinking about it, he pulled out the iron rod and put it in his backpack .Immediately afterwards, it flew away to the distance.

Along the way, I found nothing except picking a few spiritual fruits. I couldn't help shaking my head and sighing, "The secret of the royal family is really not worthy of the name." Unknowingly, I came to the foot of the green mountain. I saw a stone tablet with the word "Dashan" engraved on it. Shangguan was shocked Pu Chi burst out laughing, what a good name, after a while the laughter stopped abruptly: "Dashan, what a big mountain, isn't it just a big mountain!"

Shangguan Jinghong learned from this to the other, and then thought of martial arts moves. All the moves he practiced were created by his predecessors. From Taiqing Sword Art to Taijiquan, he brought into his hands the things that the predecessors have practiced thousands of times. Killing Dao, but still can't find your own way, Dashan, simplifying, is the most basic thing, the same is true for sword moves, stabbing, pulling, criticizing, hanging, picking, hooking, yes, what moves the heart, the sword moves Move freely, one by one extremely common sword moves are used from Shangguan Jinghong's hands. This is the most basic sword move. In Shangguan Jinghong's hands, it is like a peerless martial arts. It is extremely domineering. The kendo went up to a higher level, and he smiled and said to himself: "From today, there are no flying immortals in the Taiqing Sword Art, and there are only the most basic sword moves."

Shangguan Jinghong, who was in a good mood, looked up to the sky and smiled: "Wait, there is a cave over there."

Immediately flew up, it seems that someone lived in the cave?Shangguan Jinghong walked around the cave for a few times, suddenly there were several coughing sounds from the entrance of the cave, Shangguan Jinghong's expression turned serious: "Who is it?"

An old man in ragged clothes slowly walked in from the entrance of the cave: "It's strange, you broke into his residence, but asked who he is?"

Shangguan Jinghong felt that there was no fluctuation of the old man's internal energy, instead of relaxing in his heart, he became more frightened, either this person really knows nothing, or this person is much higher than himself, but nothing is possible ?The secret realm is opened once every [-] years. Which ordinary person can survive in the secret realm for a hundred years: "Old man, just now I saw a cave at the foot of the mountain. I don't know that there are people living in it. Please don't blame me if I bother you."

The old man walked into the cave slowly, picked up the stone bowl and took a sip of water: "It's okay, old man, I don't know how many years I've been here, it's rare for a guest to come, how can I blame you, please sit down."

Shangguan Jinghong saw that the old man didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, he felt relieved, and sat down unceremoniously: "Junior Shangguan Jinghong, dare I ask senior what's his name?"

The old man didn't answer, but asked, "How old is this year?"

"32."

"32? You are so handsome. The old man has never heard of anyone who can reach this level at this age."

"Senior has won the award, but it's just some adventures, it's all a coincidence, it can't compare with others step by step."

The old man's eyes lit up: "Okay, well said, it's really rare to be neither arrogant nor impatient. The old man's surname is Yuan and his name is Chen."

"Oh, I met Senior Yuan." Wait a minute, the last name is Yuan?Shangguan Jinghong hurriedly asked: "Senior and the Yuan family of the four great families of Yan Leng and Yuan Yun..."

Yuan Chen smiled: "Yes, the old man is from the Yuan family."
