Chapter 97 96. The current situation of Jianmen, the "blind box" that no one dares to open (2.6K words - please subscribe)
The identity of the sword cultivator of Nanwu Jianmen is a good cover.
Song Yan's "Grandma Fox" shadow puppet has entered three secret realms in this capacity for more than half a year, and met many casual cultivators, but failed to find a suitable person for Song Yan. of blood.
But it was not completely undiscovered. At least in some daily interactions, Song Yan heard something about the "Ancient Teleportation Array".
A monk told him that a long time ago, the north and south of this continent were connected. The so-called "Wu, Shu, and Wei" three kingdoms were just a small country in the south of this continent that split off. In the past, there seemed to be a teleportation array connecting the north and south, but now that it has been so long, nothing can be determined.
This piece of information can be regarded as providing Song Yan with a possible direction of the "ancient teleportation array" - the north.
He didn’t know where the north was, but nine times out of ten, he had already crossed the Mountain and Sea Monster Kingdom.
The three kingdoms of "Wu, Shu and Wei" are a "dead end". Either go to sea, but no one knows what is overseas;
Or go north through the "Lone Smoke Wasteland", and Grandma Fox is from there. Bian was invited by King Wei, and it was obvious that that direction led directly to the Shanhai Demon Kingdom.
So.
Song Yan began to study this ancient teleportation array again.
Jiang Palace could still hide, but facing the two-headed Pilan man-eating insect in the Purple Mansion Realm, he felt that there was no way to hide it at all.
Purple Mansion Realm, that is a realm that he does not understand at all.
It is certainly necessary for him to become stronger, but he must also prepare a way out for himself.
After learning the news, he separated the two shadow puppets.
Grandma Fox continued to do what a sword cultivator should do, helping him find more secret realms.
The other one began to secretly head towards the ancient teleportation array.
After traveling for more than a month, Song Yan finally found the formation in a secret cave southeast of Nanwu Jianmen according to Grandma Hu's map.
The words "A long time ago" are indeed true.
Just the three layers of vines outside the secret cave are enough for people to miss this place, let alone the fact that this place is still a The barren mountains and ridges without any mystery are places that even woodcutters and hunters will never visit.
Song Yan lit the fire stick and walked sideways through the gaps between the vines as a fox demon shadow puppet, walking in the dark cave. When he got deep, he saw that it was indeed something special.
The whole array is about the size of a garden landscaping pond, with a distance of more than 20 steps up and down. There are six stone tablets about seven feet in length on each side, with an array pattern in the center.
After countless years, the formation patterns are still new, with thick and fine textures, and they are all intact. It is obvious that the stone material used to build the formation is extraordinary.
It’s just.
Song Yan frowned slightly, and his body flashed, falling to the northwest of the formation.
There, there was a drag mark as thick as an adult's arm!
This drag mark is like an eraser that has erased part of the array pattern.
Song Yan looked forward along the drag mark again, only to see a rusty broken sword standing at the end of the drag mark.
It seems that this formation was not deliberately destroyed, but was affected by a fight, and then was completely scratched by a broken sword, thus destroying the formation.
Song Yan stepped forward and grabbed the broken sword, and circulated his profound energy a little. The broken sword seemed to be a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing his power. As it absorbed, its surface began to shake. The rust stains were quickly dispersed, but Song Yan felt that his shadow puppet's profound energy was almost absorbed, so he stopped in a hurry, threw the broken sword into the storage bag, and then continued to check the teleportation array.
Obviously, if you want to restore this ancient teleportation array, you must at least find a way to repair the "array pattern".
‘Broken Sword.’
‘Remnant Formation.’
‘It’s time to go to Nanwu Jianmen to have a look. ’
Although Song Yan is also worried that Grandma Fox will be seen through, after all, shadow puppets cannot truly perform sword-wielding skills. Grandma Fox’s shadow puppets rely entirely on the strength, power, and speed of their own bodies to use the sword. But now he had to go to Nanwu Jianmen.
Before, he was worried about other people's secret skills of tracking through shadow puppets, but now, firstly, he was in a secret realm, and secondly, he didn't care so much anymore.
Half a month later.
Nanwu Jianmen.
The fairy island is hidden in the clouds and mist. Although the peaks are not high, they are beautiful and graceful. The mountains are like freehand brushwork in the sea of clouds and mist. There is a sense of charm between the ups and downs. .
Da.
The bamboo pennant stopped at the shore, the bow of the boat sank slightly, the water split into two parts, and there were a few sobs between ups and downs.
Song Yan tied the cable and stepped onto Guanwu Island, the outermost part of Nanwu Jianmen.
As soon as he landed, a disciple of Nanwu Jianmen came over. When he saw his appearance, he was surprised and happy: "Senior Brother Bai! Are you still alive?!"
Although Song Yan had Although he was searching for souls, he only had a slight impression of who the disciple in front of him was. Fortunately, he had been getting used to Bai Xiuhu's skills for more than half a year. His temperament and way of speaking, he skillfully imitated his tone and sighed: "It's a long story."
The disciple sighed: "A lot of things have happened in these years. The fellow disciples who used to practice swords together suddenly suddenly One by one they disappeared, some were known to be dead, and some were missing.”
Song Yan suddenly asked: "Has the master been released from seclusion?" The disciple sighed and said nothing.
Song Yan didn’t ask. In fact, he heard many rumors while he was away during this time.
The rumor said that "the headmaster of Nanwu Jianmen has been in seclusion a few years ago. He did not show up for such an important battle as the Battle of Hantan Valley, because the headmaster has long since passed away."
In fact, the reason why Nanwu Jianmen was able to confront the Puppet Sect was entirely because of this leader.
This leader's name is "Shui Bo Sword Emperor". He has innate five elements of water and profound roots. He sits in the rivers, lakes and seas, which can be said to be in an invincible position.
A few years ago, Shui Bo Sword Emperor went into seclusion on the Luoxia Bamboo Island in the deepest part of Jianmen in order to break through the "Later Jianggong" realm, and has not yet come out.
Gu Huangzi was as afraid of him as he was of "Zhang Han" sitting in the center of the evil place.
This kind of person who is powerful and well-positioned at the right time and place cannot afford to offend someone who is fighting on their home turf.
No one knows what the blood of Shui Bo Sword Emperor's "Third Middle Palace" is, but most likely he took the Jianggong Pill for the sake of strong blood. And the Jianggong Pill is also likely to contain toxins.
Whether we can get through this or not, no one can say.
In order to prevent anyone from disturbing the leader, the great elder strictly prohibited anyone from approaching Luoxia Bamboo Island.
Even now. It is the same.
It’s just that the rumors circulating now are really scary.
Song Yan himself was not sure whether this was the truth, or just a rumor spread by the Puppet Sect, or both a rumor and the truth, so he only asked this question after landing on the island.
But since he didn't get a definite answer, he probably had an idea.
Today's "Shui Bo Sword Emperor" is a "blind box".
The Great Elder, or any senior leader of Nanwu Sword Sect, does not dare to open this blind box.
As long as the blind box is not opened, Shui Bo Sword Emperor is in seclusion, and Nanwu Jianmen may have a powerful late Jianggong master at any time.
And if it is opened, it is like a gambler who gets red-eyed and pushes all the chips in front of him forward, stud.
Song Yan took a few steps forward and saw another disciple hurriedly walking through the mist. The disciple seemed to recognize him. He cupped his fists from a distance and shouted: "Junior Brother Bai."
This Song Yan recognized the person, smiled and said in return: "Senior Brother Su."
The disciple nodded, then flicked his sleeve, took out a jade bottle, got some powder, sprinkled it on Song Yan's head, and said sternly: "Junior brother, if there is no evil in your heart, don't move!"
Song Yan remained motionless, his expression calm.
The powder fell, the ice was cold, and there was a feeling that his illusion was about to be torn apart.
However, after all, Grandma Fox's illusion skills are not comparable to those of the little fox cubs.
This powder cannot be torn apart.
Senior Brother Su also breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained: "In the previous war, the Puppet Sect killed many fox demons, and now they have made a lot of fox demon shadow puppets.
Those shadow puppets He is very good at illusions. If he didn't sprinkle it with this illusion-dispelling powder, he would not be able to identify him.
However, I know that my junior brother is definitely not a fox demon shadow puppet, otherwise he would not be so defenseless. Arriving in front of my junior brother.”
Song Yanqi asked: "Why?"
Senior Brother Su whispered: "That kind usually involves two people walking, one is a fox demon shadow puppet, and the other is a puppet sect skin master. They can't be separated too far. Junior Brother It's just a person returning, how can it be a fox demon shadow puppet? But senior brother is just a layer of insurance."
Song Yan said in admiration: "Senior brother is cautious. "
Senior Brother Su waved his hand and said: "Go back to your cave as soon as possible. Many important things have happened in the sect, and you may be mobilized to the front line again in a few days. "
Song Yandao: "Since I ran away from home last year, I have been in a dirty state of mind. Now I have figured it out. Only by slaying demons can I cleanse my heart again!"
After saying that, he coughed a few more times, with a wry smile on his face: "It's a pity that the serious injury has not healed, I'm afraid my will is weak."
Senior Brother Su comforted: "It's good if you have the will, there is no need to think too much about anything else. ”
