Chapter 682: The Origin of the Exquisite Ancient City

Zhongdu Shenmen Sword is one of the few that Xiangtian Xiao really created his own swordsmanship.

At the same time, it is also the source of inspiration for Xingluo God's appreciation.

This sword technique has no specific moves, no specific practice route, and no earth-shattering ghostly power.

But!

This swordsmanship is listed as peerless in the Kunlun sect inheritance.

It is a sword technique that relies heavily on the user's understanding and cultivation.

Yang Xiao once commented on this swordsmanship:

"If you talk about the infinite nature of the sword technique of this gate, it is headed by the sword of the Zhongdu Shenmen. ”

That's why it's so highly evaluated, it's because of the characteristics of this swordsmanship.

As the name suggests, this sword technique only attacks the 'Zhongdu Acupoint' and the 'Shenmen Acupoint'.

Once broken, the light ones temporarily lose the power of hand and foot control, and the heavy ones have destroyed the hands and feet and become wasters!

In order to achieve the goal of the attack, the first thing to do is to mellow the sword intent, so that oneself and the three-finger wide sword can achieve a state of harmony in the circle realm, and keep the sword anytime, anywhere, at any time, in any direction.

The second step is to predict the enemy's next move from the enemy's actions, so as to preemptively shoot the sword before the enemy.

It's easier said than done.

Among the Kunlun disciples, only Zhang Liao and Jun did not regret learning this swordsmanship.

......

The desolate yellow sand drifts in the dusty legends, and the poplars scattered on the Gobi stand upright, and the red blazing leaves are like the burning hearts of the people of the Western Regions.

Blood was submerged in the yellow sand, and Zhang Liao was mending the sword of the fallen soldiers, so that they could suck the desolation of the earth forever.

If it weren't for Zhang Liao's thirst for killing, a person whose tendons and tendons were broken would have only one way to die in this desolate Gobi.

Rather than being tortured to death by the environment, it is better to have a sword.

Zhang Liao harvested their lives, really helping them to liberate.

The dust undulates and the sand flies, taking away the dust and the souls of the deceased.

However, not all of them died.

In Zhang Liao's attack, the people who survived were all guards of the Western Regions Protectorate, and Zhang Liao and Guo Huai were also wearing guard armor.

The guards are different from the soldiers, and most of them are recruited from the rivers and lakes.

Therefore, at the beginning of Zhang Liao's attack, they were together.

Because they know very well that they are facing the 'sword of innocence' - the sword that brings calamity without reason.

Zhang Liao glanced at these guards, which immediately caused the guards to be nervous, and then heard Zhang Liao sigh lightly and said with pity:

"You still have a chance. ”

I don't know if I misunderstood Zhang Liao's words, or for some other reason.

Two of the guards jumped to their feet and tried to flee with their horses.

As soon as the man jumped on the horse, his head was cut off by a pair of sharp blades.

Double-pincer crocodile flying blades!

This is also the weapon that Xiang Tianxiao gave to Guo Huai back then, and the latter also won the title of 'Double Tribulation Blade' at the Jianghu Conference with this fierce soldier.

The crocodile blade flew back into Guo Huai's hand along the chain, fiddling with his own blade, making a "click! click!" sound.

Every sound felt like hitting the bottom of the guard's heart, making people feel a chill in their necks.

Finally, there was still a smart man, who immediately abandoned the knife and knelt on the ground, and said loudly:

"The villain is willing to follow Lord Gongsun, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire!"

With an example, the rest of the guards also bowed down.

Looking at the guards kneeling in front of him, Gongsun Qi sighed lightly, the original team of more than 100 people now has only nine people left.

There are fewer people, the materials need to be sorted out again, and the corpses are left alone, and the yellow sand brought by the wind will bury the corpses.

Gongsun Qi once again set his eyes on the Exquisite Ancient City, beckoned the guards who had taken the lead in surrendering before, and asked:

"This official has been in the Western Regions for a short time, but he has rarely heard anyone mention this city, by the way! There are also ghost clans, do you know the reason?"

The guard swallowed his saliva, I don't know if it was the fear of Gongsun Qi, or something else, and said with difficulty:

"It is said that whenever a man enters this city, he will be turned into a dried corpse, as if his spirit had been sucked dry. ”

Gongsun Qi was stunned, but he didn't expect the word Jingjie in the ancient city to refer to this. (Make it up, don't make it up.) ）

"What about the ghost clan?" asked Gongsun Qi.

Guard: "It's the one who sucks the essence of a man dry." ”

'Nonsense!' scolded in his heart, and Gongsun Qi asked again with little hope:

"Why is it not in the treasury materials? I have rarely heard of it, and I don't even see him participate in the annual invitational meeting. ”

The so-called invitation meeting is a procedure for all ethnic groups in the Western Regions to express their submission to the Wu Dynasty, and then ask for a reward.

Except for a few large countries, the rest of the small countries and small clans will not be absent from the invitation meeting, and don't be a fool if you have benefits.

Guard: "Hey, that's because the treasury information is to be copied to the imperial court, and there will naturally be no strange ghosts and gods." ”

Gongsun Qi's eyes lit up, but he didn't expect this person to have some ability, so he asked:

"What's your name?"

The guard's face was happy, and he bowed and said, "Little Zhang Qiling, please take more care of the adults." ”

Gongsun Qi smiled and motioned for him to continue.

Zhang Qiling picked up the kettle and took a sip, and continued:

"The ghost clan is too weird, ordinary people are afraid of its name, so it is rarely mentioned, in fact, the full name of the ghost clan is the ghost moon clan, and it is a descendant of the big moon clan......"

The Great Yue Clan used to be the strongest nation in the Western Regions, but later because of the arrogance of the Yue Clan, he attacked Heming Pass in an attempt to get involved in the Central Plains, and there was no Wu Dynasty at that time.

In the first battle of that year, the people of the Yue clan left hundreds of thousands of corpses in front of the Heming Pass, and they were in a state of collapse.

Later, the Yue's civil strife was divided into five tribes: Humi, Shuangmi, Guishuang, Fatton, and Dumi, and the rest were all defeated and fled.

So far, although there is still the king of the Yue clan above the Otsuki clan, it is divided and ruled.

The Ghost Moon Clan was one of the ones who fled during the civil strife.

After listening to a piece of history, Gongsun Qi frowned and said:

"Getting to the point!"

Zhang Qiling hurriedly bowed down and said: "In addition to the four major foreign countries in the southeast, northwest and northwest, the hundred tribes in the central part are all afraid of the Ghost Moon clan. ”

His eyes lit up, and Gongsun Qi didn't expect that this trip would become the key to his trip to the hundred clans, and he asked:

"What is the ability of the Ghost Moon Clan? ”

Zhang Qiling's face became a little ugly, and he said in a deep voice:

"The Ghost Moon Clan was originally a shaman of the Great Moon Clan, and because he was unwilling to fail, he set up a mysterious array in the Exquisite Ancient City, and it is said that when the formation is completed, 100,000 ghost pawns can be summoned!"

Surprised!

This time, it was the turn of Gongsun Qishi, and the three brothers looked at each other.

After a while, Zhang Qiling bowed down and asked, "What else do you have to ask?"

Waving his hand to signal Zhang Qiling to retreat, Gongsun raised his eyes and looked at the exquisite ancient city in the distance.

"Senior brother believes in that chapter of the spirit?" Guo Huai asked.

The corners of Gongsun's mouth hooked up a smile, and he said softly:

"I'm wondering, who is this Spirit?"

Guo Huai subconsciously turned his head and looked at Zhang Qiling's back.

It was no different from the other guards, except that he had an iron rod stuck in his back, and instead of a water bladder, he had a water bottle holding a fur hanging from his waist.

The sun is setting in the west.

The team set off again.

Twelve people lined up in a column and slowly advanced towards the exquisite ancient city.

Shortly after the group left, a monster emerged from the sand.

The whole body is covered with a black cloth, resembling a human shape, but the movements are strange, and there seems to be a glance under the hood, scanning the scene.

There was a "rattling" sound from under the hood.
