Sword from Hengshan

Chapter 216: The Eagle of the Blue Sky (Fifteen)
The morning light is dim, the breeze is gentle, and the grass and trees are covered with dew.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard from the grassland on the slope. A herdsman carrying a bowstring on his back led the way on horseback. They found a wide and shallow section of the river, and a group of people and horses stepped on the splashes of water to reach the other side.

The grassland is vast, and it is really difficult to find the destination if you don’t have someone you know to lead the way.

Walking on the green grass, passing by a herd of cattle, sheep and camels roaming.

Finally, when the sun was high in the sky, the leading herdsman pulled the reins of his horse and said something to President Jian in the local dialect.

The Gusu siblings didn't understand what was said. They just saw the herdsman smiling and pointing at a low mountain not far away.

President Jian made a gesture to express his gratitude to him.

He turned to the others and said, "We're here."

It is not difficult to find that Jian Yan was a little excited.

Several people rode their horses slowly towards the mountain.

There is a lake at the foot of the low peak. The lake is not very wide, but there is no wind at this time, and the lake is as clear as a mirror. You can see white clouds floating in the water, and the low mountain not far away is reflected in the center of the lake.

When you first arrive here, you will see a lake and a peak, and on top of the plateau, a country of green grass.

It really makes people feel peaceful and forgetful.

I guess the master of Miaozhi must have been inspired by this place and left behind this inscription.

With this in mind, everyone, led by President Jian, Sect Leader Han, and Sect Leader Feng, walked around the lake.

After walking about half a mile, the three leaders dismounted and ordered their men to lead the horses to the lake to drink water, while the rest of the people walked towards the edge of the mountain.

Next to the short peak is actually a beach, where you can see some dried fish bones.

I think the lake originally extended here, and then when the water receded, the fish were stranded, leaving behind the bones.

There was no need for Jian Yanzeng and the others to remind her, as Zhao Yuyan had already headed towards a smooth mountain wall with her sister.

As they got closer, everyone's expressions changed.

Jian Yanzeng smiled bitterly and patted the shoulder of Sect Leader Han.

"It's just as you said."

Sect Leader Han shook his head slightly and did not answer.

Master Feng walked forward with a frown, stroking the mountain wall with his hand.

The surrounding mountain walls were smooth and flat, except for the area in the middle which was covered with knife and sword marks. In some places, it looked like they had been chopped by an axe, with a layer directly broken off.

The Panzhou carvings were indeed discovered here.

However, it had been destroyed by the first group of people who got it.

The three had guessed this result in advance, but after receiving the news, they began to wonder whether there were other undiscovered carvings.

Seeing this now, I gave up.

It is human nature to obtain a precious record and keep it to oneself.

Master Feng shook his head and sighed, "I have failed this senior's kindness."

He looked intently at the destroyed carvings.

It can be seen that those people destroyed it in a hurry, and a few words can still be seen.

But it doesn't matter.

It is absolutely impossible to deduce the whole article from a few words.

Zhao Yuyan and Zhao Fei glanced at the few remaining words, and after a quick identification, they no longer had any doubts in their hearts.

The handwriting is unfamiliar, but the grooves are smooth and the edges are smooth, so it's obvious that they were carved some time ago.

They are thinking
suddenly!

Jian Yanzeng walked to the side of the stone wall and was shocked: "Look here!"

When everyone heard the sound, they immediately went towards him.

A crack separates the two stone walls from top to bottom, and there are also inscriptions here.

But unlike the large inscriptions next to it, there are only five words on the stone wall here.

In one line of calligraphy it reads: "Heavenly man transformed into man."

The next line contains only one word: “妙”.

I don’t know if this “wonderful” is referring to the wonderful truth or just a compliment.

"this!"

"This is.!!!"

The Four Sword Sect's leader Feng Hanzhu stopped talking abruptly. He was so shocked that he couldn't say the rest of the words.

The same is true for Han Wantong and Jian Yanzeng.

They stared at the five inscriptions with their eyes wide open.

At this moment
Jian Yan once frantically took out a small piece of cloth from his arms, which was exactly the corner of the cassock that was shredded by Feng Buping that year.

Nowadays, this corner of Yangpu will not cause fighting and scramble like it did in the past, but it is more of a symbolic meaning.

Jian Yan once held up the fragment of the Yang spectrum and compared it with
Han Wantong and Feng Hanzhu both came over.

Upon seeing this, their eyes widened even more!

"No wonder the handwriting looks so familiar!"

"Sure enough!"

Jian Yan once cried out, "These five words are carved into the stone wall one-third deep, yet they are written with sharp edges and no sluggishness. They must have been written by a master with extremely strong internal strength. A closer look reveals that the handwriting is full of sharpness, yet it fits perfectly with the stone wall."

"It's so simple and natural, as if these five words were born on this stone wall."

He excitedly elaborated: "In the whole world, the only one who has this ability is the Sword God."

The people around were shocked.

People from Panzhou Chamber of Commerce, Tiegu Sect, and Shidao Sect all came forward to pay their respects.

Back when Dongfang Bubai was embroidering at the Black Wood Cliff, his reputation as the best in the world had resounded throughout the martial arts world for more than ten years and he was a household name in the martial arts world.

The Sword God is even better than Dongfang Bubai.

And it has been the best in the world for more than 20 years.

The feeling he has in the martial arts world and in the hearts of all the martial artists is hard to describe.

At this moment, one can imagine how everyone felt when they suddenly saw his words inscribed on the stone wall of the mountain in Panzhou grassland.

Feng Hanzhu's elegant face had eyelids twitching:
“This writing is newly engraved.”

"Sword God. He has only been to Yunnan and Guizhou not long ago."

"Maybe not long ago, he was standing here!"

When they think of these things, it is difficult for them to calm down.

Jian Yan once said: "Those who destroyed the Panzhou relics should have also seen these five words."

Han Wantong understood what he meant: "Even if those who destroyed the inscriptions saw it, I'm afraid they wouldn't have the courage to destroy these five words."

After saying this, they were immersed in these five words again.

I want to comprehend the profound meaning of the words left by the Sword God.

I also want to find some inspiration from these sharp yet simple and natural engravings.

They had just seen the destruction of the Panzhou relics, and although they were mentally prepared, they were still inevitably disappointed.

But at this time.
But was covered with surprise.

When Zhao Yuyan and Zhao Fei saw the five familiar and friendly engravings, they were stunned for a long time and were even more surprised than the others.

Originally, the Panzhou relics had been destroyed, so Jian Yanzeng and others would not stay here.

Now, they can no longer move and are here to observe what the Sword God has left.

When the Gusu siblings said goodbye and left, Master Feng and the others saw them off for a while and then returned to the stone wall.

The brother and sister heard the story of the three people last night and didn't find it strange.

Judging from their martial arts training, these five words have profound meaning.

Zhao Fei and Zhao Yuyan did not delay and left the caravan that day, riding out of the grassland and heading straight towards Liangdu.

Along the way, they were also discussing engraving.

"elder sister."

"The handwriting is very new."

Zhao Yuyan asked in a low voice: "Where do you think Daddy is now?"

Zhao Fei said: "Maybe it's on this grassland."

She added: "Maybe it's following us."

The boy shrank his neck when he heard that and couldn't help looking behind him. The girl next to him was amused by him and said, "You really are looking."

"Even if Daddy really followed us, if he didn't want you to notice it, how could you possibly find out?"

"That's true."

Zhao Yuyan nodded and whispered, "Sister, let's not go to Liangdu. If Daddy is really nearby, he will definitely be unhappy if he sees us fighting with Zhao Shu."

"Although my mother taught us to have determination and ambition, we should also respect our teachers."

Zhao Fei smiled and said, "Don't worry."

"If Daddy wasn't happy, how could he ask us to run to Yunnan and Guizhou?"

"If he is really nearby right now, he might be watching the fun. We are not fighting with Zhao Shu. When we get to Huixian Tower, he might be watching the show somewhere."

When Zhao Yuyan saw the five new inscriptions, his thoughts obviously changed.

It would be fine if I just listened to my sister making trouble in Gusu.

If your father is present, there will naturally be many more rules.

He wanted to persuade her again.
Zhao Fei interrupted: "Let's see Zhao Shu first."

Zhao Yuyan looked around after hearing this, and then said to himself:
"Dad, it's my sister who wants to find Zhao Shu, and I always listen to you."

Zhao Fei, who was standing by, saw him like this and was so angry that she laughed again.

As soon as she raised her hand, there was a sound of whip cracking, and the horse under Zhao Yuyan immediately ran away in pain.

The brother and sister galloped across the grassland, climbing over camel humps and descending high slopes.

Finally we were on the official road to Liangdu.
At the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou, to the west of Anshun, the majestic Wumeng Mountains run across.

Liangdu was Zangke in the Spring and Autumn Period and Yelang in the Warring States Period.

There is a City God Temple in the south of Liangdu City, and there are rows of ginkgo trees along the road.

Many people come here to burn incense and pray today.

Beside the official road, a woman in her twenties wearing white clothes and wearing a sword at her waist was leading a horse with a boy in his early teens.

The young man looked around, watching the street performers swinging guns and sticks in front of the City God Temple.

In his eyes, the martial arts of these street performers were inevitably a bit crude.

But he watched it with great interest.

The passers-by who were watching nearby all cheered after hearing the loud bang of the hammer and seeing the amazing performance of breaking the stone with the chest.

Seeing how lively it was, Yang Juncai couldn't help but laugh from afar.

"Walk."

He came to his senses when he heard his sister's voice. He entered an inn, handed the horse to the waiter in front of the inn, and went straight up to the second floor to eat.

Liangdu is more lively than Panzhou City, with busy streets and crowded inns.

As soon as they sat down, there was a lot of noise all around, and people were talking about all kinds of things.

Some things, even if they are not interested in them and do not want to ask about them, will still enter their ears because of the discussions around them.

Those Jianghu people spoke with more than just local accents.

Many of them have recently arrived in Liangdu.

They naturally came here for the lost inscriptions, so they kept discussing matters related to it.

Because he has been living in seclusion near Baihu Cliff, he has not been to Panzhou City very often recently.

did not expect.
After the first group of people who obtained the legacy engraving arrived in Liangdu, they caused such a big disturbance in the martial arts world.

Where did the fierce fighting happen? Where was the fighting going on last night? How many people died? Which forces got involved? Which leader was seriously injured?
All this is because of that legacy.

"Rumor has it that the inscriptions on the stone wall in Panzhou have been destroyed."

"Then we can only fight for it in Liangdu."

"No wonder they've been fighting so fiercely lately!"

"."

The woman in white frowned slightly. Yang Juncai also wanted to say something after hearing the news.

But there were so many people around that the woman in white shook her head, signaling him not to talk about it.

After they had their meal and left the inn, they reached a more secluded place. Yang Juncai then spoke:
"Sister, I heard that when the Sword God Yang Pu appeared in the world, it was also like this today."

"But that's in the entire Jianghu. The inscriptions left by the master are only in Yunnan and Guizhou."

He looked sideways at his sister:

"Master has been in seclusion for many years and has no interest in the disputes in the martial arts world. I'm afraid he doesn't want to see these fights and robberies."

The woman in white said calmly:
"You're only half right."

"Master has no interest in the martial arts world and doesn't care about the bloodshed."

“Although he didn’t say it explicitly, I guess he had some thoughts on how to use his own way to compete with the way of the Sword God when he carved the words on the stone wall.”

When she mentioned her master, her words were calm, but her face was full of respect.

"But it seems that it is not that persistent, so it stays on the hard-to-find grassland on the slope."

"only."

"This inscription has now been destroyed."

Suddenly, her eyes were sharp: "These people also destroyed Master's idea."

"elder sister."

Yang Juncai felt that her sister was a little angry.

He immediately changed the subject: "We have come all the way to Liangdu, but we have not yet heard any news about the four true disciples of the Sword God."

"Master told us to stay out in the martial arts world more and not to count the days before returning. I'm afraid he also guessed that it would take quite a while."

The woman in white said, "He is a lonely old man. Can you bear to leave him alone in his hermitage?"

Yang Juncai quickly shook his head:
"I don't want to."

He quickly said, "Sister, if we can't find the four great disciples, let's go back to Panzhou."

“Don’t panic.”

The woman in white said, "If he doesn't show up, I have my own way to make him show up."

"As for those who destroyed the inscriptions, they used their narrow-minded thinking to monopolize Master's martial arts insights. I will not let them do as they wish."

Her words were cold, but she did not explain.

They walked all the way to the east of the city and found a Yuelai Inn to stay at.

late that night
The woman in white took her sword and went out. She moved very quickly and flew through the city. Soon she arrived at the east gate of Liangdu City.

Stand on the city wall and touch the cold bricks.

The woman in white suddenly drew her sword
The night is dim, and only the sword light is bright!
The next day.

The Yunnan and Guizhou martial arts world is in turmoil!

All the martial arts forces who had entered Liangdu City to fight for the legacy were dumbfounded.

"Go to the east of the city!"

"quick!"

Someone shouted in surprise: "Someone carved the Panzhou Inscription on the east wall of Liangdu with a sword. It is a martial arts insight about the transformation of true qi!"

Some people in the martial arts world were shocked. When they arrived at the crowded east of Liangdu City, they stared at the words on the city wall and asked in a lost voice:
"Who did this?"

No one responded to his words.

In the noisy east of Liangdu City, only someone could be heard shouting excitedly:
"No need to fight for it, no need to fight for it now! This is the complete content of the legacy engraving!"

"..."

In the east of Liangdu City, a woman in white and her brother stood far behind the crowd.

They looked at the words carved on the city wall and then looked at those crazy gangsters.

There was a hint of smile on Yang Juncai's face.

The woman in white pulled him, and the two of them went to an inn in the east of the city.

On weekdays, this inn is very crowded.

At this time, everyone went to the east of the city to watch the fun, but there was no business.

The woman in white went up to the second floor and sat down by the window, when her expression suddenly changed.

She turned her head and saw a table across from her.
I don't know when a young man sat down and drank by himself.
