Chapter 11 Tomb of the Sword Demon
For a period of time after that, every morning early in the morning, Zhao Mingyuan would go into the mountains with a wine gourd to catch snakes. After catching the snake, he would take the snake's gall and soak it in strong wine, and then search for the tomb of the Sword Demon nearby.
The cave where it is located.
In the afternoon, I came back to ask Orion Zhang about snake catching skills and how to handle prey. I also learned archery by the way.
In the evening, he went back to his small courtyard to practice swordsmanship. In the evening, he drank snake gall wine and meditated to practice internal skills.
Every day was extremely fulfilling. Zhao Mingyuan practiced every day as if he had returned to Huashan.
Zhao Mingyuan asked Zhang Orion if there were any special caves near the valley where Bodhisattva snakes abound, but Zhang Orion said that the area there was more dangerous, few hunters went there, and he had never heard of any special caves.
Zhao Mingyuan had no choice but to look for it slowly. Fortunately, there might be some stream near the cave. After all, Yang Guo took advantage of the flash flood to practice his sword in the water there.
However, it has been hundreds of years, and the sea has changed. I wonder if the stream is still there now? There is no way, Zhao Mingyuan can only find it along the banks of the streams.
More than a month passed like this, Zhao Mingyuan felt that his internal strength had greatly increased, and his strength had also increased greatly. Even his swordsmanship had improved rapidly because of this, and even the meridians around his body seemed to have become stronger and broader.
In addition, the snake-catching skills learned by Zhao Mingyuan and Zhang Orion have also improved rapidly. Now they can find Bodhisattva snakes more quickly according to the snake's habits and hunting habits. Even the archery skills have also improved a lot. After all, practicing martial arts all year round is very good for strength.
With familiarity and more practice, although I dare not say that a hundred steps can kill an enemy, prey within a hundred steps cannot escape from Zhao Mingyuan's arrows.
Another day, as usual, Zhao Mingyuan caught the Bodhisattva snake in the morning and put it into a wine gourd to soak in wine.
I saw a pile of rubble rising up in the corner of the cave, which looked very much like a tomb. This was most likely the tomb of the sword demon Dugu Qiubei.
Although I have only been here for two months, I have made huge progress.
It was really wrong for me to dig up the grave of my senior for possible secrets. I thought I would come back tomorrow, collect the ashes of my senior in a clay pot, and bury them again.
Later, I thought about it and decided that it would be better not to disturb my seniors. It would just make me feel at ease, so what would it do to my seniors? I didn’t think much more about it and bowed before leaving.
This day, I found another one who had never been to the cave.
In the valley that is rich in Bodhisattva snakes, Zhao Mingyuan has caught them and they are becoming increasingly rare. Sometimes, even a snake cannot be found for a long time.
Not long after, Zhao Mingyuan cleaned up the stones above, revealing the white bones underneath. However, they had long since decayed into plaster, leaving only a few ashes.
I am happy because I have finally found the remains of the sword demon Dugu Qiu.
After that, I searched nearby to see if there were any caves that I hadn’t seen yet. Maybe there were some relics of the sword demon.
The following inscription is: "Sword Demon Dugu seeks defeat."
Although Zhao Mingyuan has seen dozens of caves like this these days, he still wants to see them again. He would rather see them several times than miss one.
It's a pity that he has to disturb his senior today. Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but kneel down in shame before the stone tomb, and bowed four times. After that, he gradually removed the stones on the tomb.
This is definitely not what I want. I must become the best in the world, complete the systematic tasks, obtain my own opportunities, accumulate world by world, and move towards immortality and immortality. This is what I want.
Admiration is when I think of the deeds of the sword demon Dugu Qiu and remember the heroic deeds of my predecessors, and I can't help but be fascinated.
But he thought that even a genius like Dugu Qiubei could shatter the void and ascend to immortality in other worlds, right?
This cave is dark, but there is no fishy smell. It is estimated that no wild animals live there. It is very shallow, less than three feet, and it has reached the end.
There were actually stone tables and benches in the cave. Zhao Mingyuan was delighted. Could it be this cave? He couldn't help but look around.
After that, Zhao Mingyuan's determination to practice became increasingly firm.
But I am also sorry for him. Even such a magnificent master who suppressed the world has only turned into white bones and been buried here unknown. Now I am afraid that not many people have even heard of his story.
The remaining Dugu Nine Swords are still circulated, but it is not necessarily known that they were created by Senior Sword Demon.
It's just that he was born in such a low-martial world. So what if he was the best in the world? He was not trapped in this world. He only had an eagle as a companion before his death, and there was no one to collect his body.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Mingyuan held up the lit dead branches and looked carefully in the cave for a week. Next to the grave of the stone pile, there was an overturned tombstone, which read the tomb of the sword demon Dugu Qiufei, and his descendant Yang Guoli. Probably
It must be that Yang Guo came here to pay homage to his predecessors and set a tombstone for the sword demon Dugu Qiufei.
Zhao Mingyuan checked it carefully and found that there were no martial arts secrets or valuable relics. Even if there were any, they would have already decayed after hundreds of years.
Although there are a lot of stones on the tomb, and the stones get bigger the further down you go. But for an accomplished warrior like Zhao Mingyuan, it only takes a little time.
Zhao Mingyuan thought that this was the end, but he couldn't catch all the fish, so he soaked the snake gallbladder in two gourds of medicinal wine and took it with him.
For a time, Zhao Mingyuan had mixed feelings in his heart. He was happy, admired, and even more sad.
Soon, Zhao Mingyuan accumulated a lot of snake gallbladder.
Zhao Mingyuan lit a dead branch on fire and reached out to wipe away the moss on the cave wall. Sure enough, three lines of words were revealed. The writing was very thin, but it was deeply penetrated into the stone. It was obvious that it was scratched with a very sharp weapon.
Even though it has been weathered over the years, it can still be clearly identified. Look at the three lines of words:
"For more than thirty years, I have traversed the rivers and lakes, killed all the enemies, defeated all the heroes, and the world has no resistance. I have no choice but to live in seclusion in the deep valley, with the eagle as my friend. Alas, I have never been able to find an enemy in my life. I am so lonely and embarrassed."
Zhao Mingyuan wanted to look for the inscriptions on the cave wall, but it was covered in dust and moss and could not be seen clearly in the dark, but there did seem to be some traces on the cave wall.
Zhao Mingyuan re-stacked the stones back to their original place without much modification. This tomb was just a tomb made by a divine eagle holding stones on top of him, and perhaps it was also the most respectful tomb for him.
Or maybe, even if there is anything left, it has been taken away by Feng Qingyang. Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart, for disturbing his seniors in vain.
Zhao Mingyuan has been practicing internal strength for more than ten years, but in the past two months, his internal strength has increased by 50%. If he drinks all the remaining snake gall wine, he may be able to double his internal strength.
This is already amazing. You know that you are just twenty years old, but you already have the internal strength of thirty years old. Isn’t this amazing enough? You must know that Master Yue Buqun is only forty years old. Of course, he practices purple
Xia Shengong is not comparable to my own Huashan Mental Technique.
In this case, Zhao Mingyuan went all the way to the southeast. He was not in a hurry now. He traveled during the day and found a place to stay as long as the sun was tilted. After that, he took medicine and wine, practiced swordsmanship, and did not waste anything.
After walking and stopping like this, we finally arrived near Fuzhou.
