Episode 14: Finding the Sword Tomb
As the saying goes, it is reasonable to cough cough, it is polite to act all over the world, Jiang Chen relies on beating the house and robbing me! It is chivalrous and righteous, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and he still has some money on him, after all, he himself is also a poor man, so he naturally needs relief.
After giving out a series of generous gifts, Jiang Chen finally learned the specific location of the valley where the unicorn snake was encountered from the mouths of the medicine farmers who escaped that day. Just because he guessed that the one-horned monster snake was most likely the Bodhisattva snake, and it was only found near the sword mound where Dugu sought defeat.
The sword mound, as the name suggests, is the tomb of the sword, as for who Dugu is seeking defeat, look at his name to know, "Dugu has a lifetime, but seek a defeat", in the eyes of others, it may be a little too arrogant, too pretentious, but you really don't say, this life, really has never had a defeat, in his time, the heroes bowed their heads, the long sword was empty, this forced pretend, not to give a full score.
Now there is still some time before the beggar gang holds a martial arts conference, and he feels that it is not interesting to stay in Xiangyang City, so he thought about going to the sword mound to find out if there is a cheat for Dugu Jiujian, even if there is not, I remember that there is a Qingfeng sword in the sword mound that sharpens iron like clay, which is just used to deal with the big wheel of the Golden Wheel Dharma King!
However, although snakes inhabit a certain area, the scope of this area is not small, and it is really not easy for Jiang Chen to use the Bodhisattva snake as a punctuation point to find the Dugu Sword Tomb. The mountains and forests are overgrown with trees, weeds are abundant, and there is more than one cave, Jiang Chen had no choice but to look for them one by one. Sometimes it looks like a cave, but there is nothing when you go in, and there are wild beecombs in some caves, looking at the dense brown wild bees crawling on it, Jiang Chen was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, saying that, he didn't want to be stung into a big fat man.
In this way, after tossing for more than ten days, the sword mound has not been found, so he first found a valley where the Bodhisattva snakes gathered, which was densely packed, and he didn't know that there were hundreds of thousands of snakes, two or three meters long, and one meter short, with a golden thread on his back and a single horn on his head, which looked like a shrunken dragon.
Jiang Chen thought about it, this should be because in the past sixteen years, the Condor and Yang Guo have gone out to roam the rivers and lakes and live a chic life, so that the Bodhisattva Qu Snake in this valley has no natural enemies, so it is inevitable that the speed of reproduction will increase dramatically, and there is such a huge number in front of him.
Because of his curiosity about this snake, Jiang Chen simply hunted a two-meter-long Bodhisattva snake, and took out the snake gall, this thing is very fishy, if it is not for the fact that this thing has long been beneficial to the cultivation of internal strength, he will definitely not eat it, and when he puts it in his mouth, he only bites it lightly, and the skin of the ball will burst, and his mouth will be full of bitter juice.
This juice was extremely bitter and unpalatable, Jiang Chen just wanted to squirt it out, but considering that the snake gall bladder was extraordinary, it might be of great use to himself, so he reluctantly swallowed it in his stomach. After a while, I had a little luck, but I felt that my breathing was smooth, and when I stood up, I didn't feel sleepy, but I was in good spirits, especially when I stood up.
Immediately, he used the power of snake gall medicine to perform the exercises, and vaguely, it was indeed much lighter than usual, and his internal strength had grown, but it was not obvious. However, with his current internal cultivation, this snake gall can still exert such an effect, and it is indeed an amazing supernatural treasure.
Moreover, in addition to increasing his internal strength, he was also pleasantly surprised to find that the snake gall of this Bodhisattva snake has the effect of increasing people's popularity, and a snake gall bladder, although it did not make him increase his strength much, but his strength really increased by one or two catties.
Although Qiu Qianren's iron palm skill is a superior martial art that cultivates both inside and outside, Jiang Chen used his reincarnation talent to obtain his martial arts, and his achievements in external skills are naturally not weak, but there is still a certain gap between him and the real top external martial arts master.
At that moment, Jiang Chen began his snake catching journey, in just a few days, the number of Bodhisattva snakes in the nearby valley has greatly decreased, and most of the snake gall is eaten directly by him, or sealed in a bamboo tube, hidden in the watch space, I have to say, it is really convenient to have such a portable space.
After eating a large amount of snake gall bladder, coupled with the effective method of refining with iron palm skills, Jiang Chen's external skills are naturally like riding a rocket, skyrocketing upwards and slowly, even if he doesn't use internal strength, at this time, he punches and kicks at will, and a few have the strength of seven or eight hundred catties, even if he is a martial arts master, he does not dare to resist easily.
Not enough, even so, Jiang Chen hadn't yet stimulated all the potential of the snake gall bladder, a large amount of snake gall medicine power was hoarded all over his body, and it was only for a long time in the future, as he continued to cultivate, he would naturally be able to gradually exert himself and turn into a power for his use.
On this day, he looked for the sword mound of Dugu in the vicinity as usual, and found a big cave in a deep valley, and when he was about to go in, he saw that the cave was dark and swarthy, but in fact it was very shallow, and he had reached the end of the road, and a stone table and a stone bench came into view.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he wandered around the mountains and forests for nearly a month, what was he for? Seeing that his goal was about to be achieved, how could he not be happy in his heart?
At that moment, he looked at the cave, only to see a pile of rocks rising up in the corner of the cave, very much like a tomb, Jiang Chen thought to himself: "I think this is the tomb of Dugu who seeks defeat, and I don't know if there is a sword spectrum left by him in it?" But if he really wanted to dig someone's grave, he couldn't help but hesitate a little, and said in his heart: "It's better to go to the sword mound to have a look, if there is no harvest, it's not too late to come back." ”
When I looked up slightly, I saw that there seemed to be writing on the wall of the cave, but it was covered in dust and moss, and it was not clear in the dark. Jiang Chen lit a dead branch on fire, stretched out his hand to wipe the moss on the cave wall, and sure enough, three lines of words appeared, the handwriting was very thin, but the stone was extremely deep, and it was obviously drawn with a very sharp blade:
"For more than 30 years, I have killed all the enemies, defeated all the heroes, and there is no resistance in the world, and there is nothing to do, but to live in seclusion in the deep valley and take the eagle as a friend. Woohoo, I can't get an opponent in my life, and I'm embarrassed to be lonely. ”
The following inscription is: "The sword demon is lonely and seeks defeat." ”
Although he already knew this text, but at this moment he saw it with his own eyes, but he had a different understanding, Jiang Chen read these three lines of words over and over again, both surprised and admired, but also realized the loneliness and embarrassment, thinking that this Dugu seeking defeat is really coquettish enough, fighting invincible opponents all over the world, this is something that many people can never dream of, but he just ran to this deep valley to live in seclusion.
But then he thought that since Dugu was known as "invincible", the depth and subtlety of his martial arts really didn't know how far he had come. This person is known as the "Sword Demon", since he is a god who wields a sword, his name is "Seeking Defeat", he wants to go all over the world to find a person who wants to win himself, but he has never been able to do so, and finally he is depressed here, remembering the spirit of his predecessors, and he can't help but be fascinated.
After a long time, he held up the lighted dead branches, and inspected the cave for a week, but he could not find any other ruins, and there was no other mark on the grave of the stone pile, and it was expected that after the death of this strange man, it was the divine eagle stone piled on his body. He was out of his mind for a while, and he admired this senior stranger more and more, and couldn't help but kneel in front of the stone tomb and bow three times.
Out of the cave, he identified the direction, walked a lixu, came to a cliff before, only to see that the cliff is like a huge screen, rising to the sky, the middle of the cliff is about 20 zhang from the ground, there is a big stone three or four zhang square, it is like a platform, the stone is faintly carved with words.
Jiang Chen looked up with his eyes, and saw clearly that it was the two big words "Sword Shrine", and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, his heart finally found this place, and approached the cliff, but he saw that the stone wall was not growing, and there was no place for his hands and feet to be bare, if he hadn't already known the mystery, I was afraid that he would have a headache how to go up.
He stared intently for a while, and sure enough, he noticed that there were clumps of moss growing on the cliff every few feet, and dozens of clumps were lined up in a straight line. His mind moved, jumped up, reached out to the bottom of a bush of moss to touch, grabbed out a handful of black mud, sure enough, it was a small cave, it was expected to be Dugu to defeat the year to dig with a sharp weapon, the years are deep, the hole accumulates mud, so there is moss, although there are Yang Guo occasionally come, but after all, the number of times is not much, the interval is also long, plus there is often wind and rain in the mountains, so, there is not much change.
Jiang Chen originally had the intention to explore the sword mound, so he naturally wanted to go up, so he took a breath at the moment, his body was leisurely several feet high, his left foot stepped into the first small hole, followed it, and his right foot was aimed at the second bush of moss and kicked it in, the soft mud burst out, and there was really another **** on the stone wall that could accommodate his feet.
He is now so deep that he can be called unparalleled, and he rushed onto the platform in one breath, and looked up, only to see that next to the two big characters of "Sword Shrine" on the big stone, there are still two lines of stone carvings with smaller fonts:
"The sword demon is lonely and seeks defeat, not only invincible in the world, but buried in the sword, woohoo!
