"What are you left behind?" Guo Liang thought about it seriously and said, "The ancestor did leave a lot of things, but those things don't seem to have anything to do with the Tianling Blade you said. ”

"Guo Lao ......"

Without waiting for Ling Chen to finish speaking, Guo Liang stretched out his hand, stopped Ling Chen's words, and said, "Okay, you don't need to say it, I understand what you mean." Come with me, I'll show you there. With that, Guo Liang walked straight outside.

After a while, the two came to an elegant study. The study room is very spacious, with a large desk neatly placed on it with the four treasures of the study. On the wall opposite the desk, there is a calligraphy and painting of a famous artist.

"You sit first. Guo Liang pointed to the chair next to him, walked straight to the calligraphy and painting, and moved the calligraphy and painting away. Suddenly, I saw a safe embedded in the wall behind the calligraphy and painting. In front of Ling Chen, Guo Liang opened the safe and took out several long wooden boxes from it.

"These are all things left over from the ancestors of the Guo family. The maker of your Tianling blade is called Guo Qiang, he is the third generation of our Guo family, and I am the eighth generation. You see, these things are the relics of Guo Qiang's ancestors, and they are all blades built in front of him. Because our Guo family is a family of weapons, weapons are the most valuable wealth for us. ”

As the long wooden boxes opened, I saw a few swords placed inside, even after many years, these swords still exuded a cold glow, extremely sharp. After a few glances, Ling Chen couldn't help but be a little disappointed, there were no clues on these weapons.

Could it really be like what Guo Liang said, the ancestors of the Guo family left nothing?

While thinking about it, the sharp-eyed Ling Chen suddenly noticed that in one of the long wooden boxes, in addition to a steel knife, there was also an oil lamp.

"Old Guo, is this oil lamp also a relic of the ancestors of the Guo family?"

Guo Liang nodded and said, "Not bad." This oil lamp has been in this wooden box, why, you don't think there is a problem with this oil lamp, do you?"

Ling Chen didn't make a sound, but felt a little strange. Why did the ancestors of the Guo family put an oil lamp in a box? There must be a reason for this. Besides, an oil lamp is just a precious thing, and it has no value to leave to future generations.

Thinking of this, Ling Chen asked, "Old Guo, can I ......?"

"If you want to see it, just watch it. ”

With Guo Liang's permission, Ling Chen gently picked up the oil lamp and put it in his hand to look at it carefully. This oil lamp is an old thing, some years old, but it is very well preserved, the surface is very smooth, and the wick is still there. However, apart from being able to prove this old object, Ling Chen did not find any clues related to the Tianling Blade or Ling Gengqiu.

Could it be that he was thinking wrong? Ling Chen was a little puzzled. In a flash of thought, Ling Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly brought the oil lamp to his eyes. That's right! Ling Chen was ecstatic in his heart, there was a very thin gap in the middle of this oil lamp.

At that moment, Ling Chen grabbed the bottom of the oil lamp with one hand and the top with the other, turning it gently.

Moving! Seeing the gap in the middle gradually widen, Ling Chen became more and more sure of his guess, there was indeed something wrong with this oil lamp. Guo Liang on the side was also extremely surprised, but he didn't expect to be guessed correctly by Ling Chen, the ancestor of the Guo family hid the secret in this oil lamp.

As the middle of the oil lamp was unscrewed, I saw that it was hollow inside, and a finger-thick bamboo tube was placed. Ling Chen patted the bottom of the oil lamp with his hand, and the bamboo tube immediately fell out.

Picking up the bamboo tube, Guo Liang took out the blockage at the top and poured out a roll of paper from it. When the roll of paper popped open, I saw that it was densely packed, all of which were ant-sized characters.

"This is needle carving, a unique technique of our Guo family. Guo Liang said, "Wait, I'll go get something." ”

After a while, Guo Liang took a magnifying glass and looked at the contents recorded on the rolling paper word by word. As Ling Chen expected, the above content was indeed related to Ling Gengqiu. Not only that, the relationship between the ancestor of the Guo family and Ling Gengqiu is extraordinary, and he can be regarded as a brother who worships his son.

After reading the content on the rolling paper, Ling Chen was full of emotion.

The ancestor of the Guo family and Ling Gengqiu were sworn brothers, back then, Ling Gengqiu had lived for more than two hundred years, and in the face of the pursuit of the Ling family in the south, Ling Gengqiu seemed to have more than enough strength but not enough strength. Although he really wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and cut off contact with the world. However, his character is not the kind of person who can settle down. Later, Ling Gengqiu found Guo Qiang and said that he was asking him for help because of something. Ling Gengqiu told Guo Qiang that someone wanted to be unfavorable to him. From the records left by Guo Qiang, when Ling Gengqiu found him, he was very panicked and seemed to have encountered something terrible.

With Ling Gengqiu's strength, there were very few things that could make him panic, so Guo Qiang felt very strange. It's just that Ling Gengqiu was silent about what happened to him, and Guo Qiang didn't want to ask much.

One night, Guo Qiang followed Ling Gengqiu's instructions and secretly lurked in a wilderness. In the middle of the night, Ling Gengqiu was taken to the wilderness by a group of men in black. At that time, Ling Gengqiu seemed to have been kidnapped by that group of men in black. Moreover, the group of men in black dug around the ground, as if looking for something. They didn't get what they wanted, though.

It was that night that Ling Gengqiu was brutally murdered by the group of men in black, and the five horses were separated. For everything that happened in front of him, Guo Qiang did not stop it. He mentioned on the roll that when Ling Gengqiu came to look for him, he told him that he might die. Therefore, he asked Guo Qiang to snatch back his body, bury it properly, and never let his body fall into the hands of others.

Guo Qiang did so, and when the group of black-clothed men were about to leave with Ling Gengqiu's body, Guo Qiang secretly attacked. Guo Qiang's strength is not very strong, and he is also a master of the land list. Moreover, when the ambush was carried out, Guo Qiang prepared a lot of traps in advance and hid around the wilderness.

With those hidden weapons, Guo Qiang successfully snatched Ling Gengqiu's head, torso, and a leg. Due to the critical situation, Guo Qiang didn't have time to grab Ling Gengqiu's other body parts, so he had to flee the scene with the parts he had won.

After that, Guo Qiang found a place and built a cemetery to bury Ling Gengqiu's body parts in it. No one but him knew about the incident or the exact location of the cemetery.

Until his deathbed, Guo Qiang didn't want to bury this secret forever, so he kept a hand and recorded all the events on a rolling paper, and then hid it in an oil lamp. Fortunately, Guo Qiang did this, otherwise, I'm afraid no one would know where Ling Gengqiu was buried.

Tianling Blade!

In Guo Qiang's last words, it was mentioned that the location of the cemetery was hidden in the Tianling Blade.
