Mortal Bones

"Old slave, I have met Master Jiankui."

Inside the arsenal of Emperor Zhenwu.

Xu Taiping, whose soul had left his body, regained his vision and saw a stooped, short old man standing in front of him with a smile on his face and saluting him.

Although Xu Taiping took a cautious step back, he still returned the salute to the old man with his hands:

"My Qingxuanzong, Xu Taiping, came to this treasure house only after receiving the Sword Commander's Order from the Emperor. May I ask, senior, what do you call me?"

When the old man heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly with a look of fear on his face, "Master Jian Kui has become an old man."

Immediately he began to explain to Xu Taiping:

"Old man was originally an old turtle in the Jiuqu River. Thanks to the emperor's enlightenment, he gained some wisdom."

When he said this, the old man turned around, revealing his half-demon and half-human body, revealing the tortoise shell on his body.

He then went on to explain:

"Later, after the war was settled, in order to return the martial arts to the people of the world, the emperor ordered the five armies of the Zhenwu Army to remove their armor together, and sealed all these armored soldiers and the magic weapons collected during the battle here."

"Only the true martial swordsmen of each session are allowed to enter and choose weapons."

"As for Lao Chan, he was named Chang Qing by the Emperor and appointed as the guardian of this arsenal."

When he said this, the old man's face clearly showed a hint of pride.

After finding out the origin of this old man, Xu Taiping immediately saluted the old man very respectfully and said:

"Qingxuan Xu Taiping, I have met senior Changqing!"

The old man smiled and said:

"Old Turtle could not bear this gift from you, Master Jiankui, but the name Changqing was bestowed upon him by the Emperor, so he accepted it shamelessly."

Xu Taiping smiled lightly and said:

"Senior Chang Qing, you are joking."

The old man waved to Xu Taiping and said:

"Master Jiankui, come and follow me."

But before he took a few steps forward, the old man turned his head again and said:

"Lord Jiankui is the same as the emperor. You can call the old slave Lao Chang, otherwise the old slave will really not be able to bear it."

Xu Taiping followed the old man's footsteps and said:

"Then I'd better call you Chang Lao."

Lao Chang hesitated for a moment when he heard this, but finally nodded and said:

"That's all, that's all. Master Jiankui, if you like to be called that, just call him that."

Although Lao Chang said this, his eyebrows were full of joy.

Xu Taiping saw that Lao Chang kept walking forward, so he asked curiously:

"Chang Lao, where are you planning to take me?"

Lao Chang turned around and looked at Xu Taiping with a smile and said:

"Of course I will take Master Jiankui to pick out the magic weapon of your choice."

Xu Taiping nodded.

While they were talking, Lao Chang led Xu Taiping to a door that was three feet high.

Not only was the door made of black iron, but it was also densely covered with talismans.

Judging from the talisman paper scattered on the ground at the foot of the door, it seems that the talisman paper affixed to the door has been replaced many times.

"Crash..."

At this time, Lao Chang raised his hand and swept it across the ground, sweeping away the talisman paper on the ground. Then he turned to Xu Taiping with some embarrassment and said:

"It makes Master Taiping Jiankui laugh. No one has come here for tens of thousands of years, so the old slave didn't sweep these discarded talismans."

Xu Taiping shook his head and said he didn't mind.

While waiting for Lao Chang to sweep away the mountains of talisman papers on the floor, Xu Taiping suddenly became curious and said:

"Chang Lao, how did you receive the rewards from the other sword cultivators in the Sword Leader Association this time?"

Lao Chang replied while working:

"Although this Sword Leader Meeting was disrupted by the Demon Mother, I still gave out the rewards that should be given out."

Lao Chang turned his head to look at Xu Taiping and continued:

"For example, the reward that belongs to your second senior brother Dugu Qingxiao has been received by Qingxuan Sect. As for whether Dugu Qingxiao can use it in the end, I don't know."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping suddenly became interested and asked immediately:

"So, Chang Lao, you know everything that happened at the Jiankui meeting that day?"

Lao Chang, who continued to clean the talisman paper on the ground, turned his back to Xu Taiping and nodded:

"It's natural."

As if he guessed what Xu Taiping wanted to ask next, Na Chang continued:

"But Lao Chang, I can only take a look."

When he said this, Lao Chang, who had always had a smile on his face, suddenly felt a bit bleak in his tone.

Xu Taiping understood immediately.

"alright."

At this time, Lao Chang finally cleared an open space in front of the door, then turned sideways and raised his hand to make an invitation gesture to Mrs. Xu, his eyes full of excitement and said:

"Master Taiping Jiankui, you are the first monk to open this door again in tens of thousands of years, please!"

Xu Taiping asked curiously as he walked towards the door:

"Can't even you, Mr. Chang, open this door?"

Old Chang smiled and said:

"Except for the Great Emperor, only previous Zhenwu Sword Leaders can open this door!"

While Xu Taiping was surprised, he also became increasingly curious about the scene behind the door.

When Xu Taiping stood at the door, Na Chang pointed to the door knockers of the two doors and reminded Xu Taiping:

"Lord Taiping Sword Leader, knock on the door three times, state your name, and the door will open by itself!"

Xu Taiping nodded, reached out and grabbed the thick door knocker and clicked it hard three times.

Then, I heard an extremely majestic and ethereal voice coming from behind the door——

"Who's at the door?"

Then he clasped his hands together and said loudly:

"I am Xu Taiping from the Qingxuan Sect, Zhenwu Tian!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two doors suddenly opened slowly from the inside with a "bang".

At the same time, the majestic and ethereal voice behind the door sounded again:

"I am the sword champion list spirit, Xu Taiping from the Qingxuan Sect. Because you won the Zhenwu sword champion this time, you have the right to take back a treasure from this armory."

Xu Taiping immediately thanked:

"Thank you, Master Bangling!"

It was only then that he realized that the voice behind the door was very similar to the voice of the sword champion that day.

"Boom!"

At this time, the two doors finally opened completely, and the scene inside was completely revealed in front of Xu Taiping.

Compared to what Xu Taiping imagined, behind the door was not a room, but a bright starry sky with countless stars.

Walking in it was like walking in the starry sky.

However, when Xu Taiping used his eyesight to look carefully, he found that the bright stars were actually treasures.

"Bang!"

Xu Taiping just walked in, and the two doors behind him suddenly closed.

At the same time, Lao Chang's voice sounded again:

"Master Sword Master, Lao Chang will always be waiting outside the door. After selecting the treasure, Lao Chang will send you out."

Xu Taiping immediately thanked:

"Thank you, Elder."

As he said, he looked up at the sky and saw a huge black flag hanging from the starry sky.

A closer look revealed that the names of the previous Sword Masters were written on the black flag.

But immediately, the words on the black flag suddenly changed and became the names and introductions of the treasures.

Immediately, the voice of the Sword Champion sounded again——

"Xu Taiping, these are all the treasures in this arsenal, you can choose any one of them."

"However, even if you choose, if the treasure does not recognize you, you can't take it away, you can only choose again."

"Until the treasure recognizes you."

Xu Taiping carefully scanned the treasure list on the Sword Champion List and the introduction of each treasure, and the more he read, the more frightened he became.

I just feel that any treasure in this treasury, if it is leaked, will definitely attract competition from the world.

Just as Xu Taiping was carefully looking at the treasure list, the voice of the Sword Champion rang out again:

"In addition to the treasure you can choose once, the treasures in this arsenal can also have a chance to choose you."

"Of course, from the past, not necessarily one of the hundred Sword Champions will be chosen by the treasure."

When the Sword Champion finished speaking, Xu Taiping's eyes that were scanning the treasure list suddenly stopped, and then he stared at the Sword Champion without blinking and said:

"Sir, I have chosen."

The Sword Champion immediately asked:

"Which one?"

Xu Taiping answered without hesitation:

"Lei Yin Banner!"

Although there are treasures in this list that are far more powerful than Lei Yin Banner, Xu Taiping still wants Lei Yin Banner, not for anything else, but for the sentence about Lei Yin Banner on the black flag - "On the day when the Nine Abyss disaster rises again, please ask the warriors of the world to carry the flag again!"
