Apprentice of the Heavens

Chapter 48
glen cave
Li Ming and Huang Rong looked at each other, then walked into the cave
The cave is actually very shallow, less than three zhang long, and it has reached the end. There is nothing else in the cave except a stone table and a stone bench.The divine sculpture called out to the corner of the cave a few times, and the two saw a pile of rocks rising up from the corner of the cave, which looked like a tomb.

This is the grave of Dugu Qiubai, right?

While thinking about it, he raised his head to look at the cave wall, and saw that there seemed to be words written on the cave wall. He stretched out his hand to wipe off the moss on the cave wall, and sure enough, three lines of characters appeared. It is drawn with a very sharp weapon.Look at those three lines:
"Across the rivers and lakes for more than thirty years, killing all enemies and defeating all heroes, the world has no opponents, nothing to do, but lives in seclusion in the deep valleys, and takes eagles as friends. Woohoo, I can't find an opponent in my life, I am lonely and embarrassing Also." The inscription below is: "Sword Demon Dugu seeks defeat."

Li Ming read these three lines over and over several times, feeling the loneliness and embarrassment in them, and finally sighed regretfully, but regretted that he could not fight Dugu Qiubai

Li Ming lost his mind for a while, and couldn't help bowing his hands in front of the stone tomb, and bowed four times.Seeing how respectful he was to the stone tomb, the divine sculpture seemed to be delighted, stretched out its wings and patted his shoulders a few times.

Huang Rong on the side looked at the writing on the stone wall and sighed how powerful this strange senior was.

The Divine Condor seemed to be very happy. He patted the two of them lightly to signal them to follow, and then walked out of the cave. Li Ming and Huang Rong followed after bowing to Dugu Qiubai's stone tomb.

After walking for a while, Shen Diao led the two of them to a cliff.The cliff is like a huge screen, soaring to the sky. In the middle of the cliff, about [-] feet above the ground, there is a big stone of three or four feet square, which looks like a platform, and there are faint words carved on the stone.

Li Ming looked up and saw clearly the two big characters "Sword Tomb". He approached the cliff, but he saw that the stone wall was barren, bare and there was no room for siblings, but it didn't bother Li Ming either.

I saw Li Ming hugging Huang Rong's slender waist, jumped to a height of ten feet, stepped on the cliff again in the air, and with the help of force, he rose a few feet again, and stepped on the platform again. Next to the two big characters "Sword Tomb" on the big stone, there are two lines of stone carvings with smaller characters:
"The sword demon Dugu Qiubai is invincible in the world, but he buried his sword here.

Alas!The heroes are tied, and the long sword is empty, so sad! "

At first glance, Li Ming seemed to see a peerless swordsman. After being invincible, he was so lonely because he couldn't find an opponent that he could only bury his own sword, and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests to be friends with the eagle.

Li Ming stared at the two rows of stone carvings for a while, then lowered his head, only to see a large tomb piled up with many stones.This tomb faces the valley with its back, pitching and empty
Suddenly, I heard several cuckoos from the bottom of the mountain wall. I looked down and saw the divine eagle stretching out its claws to grab the cave on the cliff and jumping up.Although its body is heavy, its legs and claws are very powerful, and it got on the platform in no time.

The divine eagle looked around for a while, then nodded to Li Ming, called out a few times, the voice was very peculiar, and called out a few times in a low voice, stretched out its steel claws, grabbed the stone on the sword mound, and moved it aside.

Huang Rong looked at the operation of the divine sculpture, and couldn't help looking at Li Ming: "Brother Ming, senior Dugu possesses peerless martial arts, maybe he left behind some sword scriptures and sword books."

As he said that, he looked forward to it even more, but he was curious about how elegant the swordsmanship of Across the World is
Li Ming naturally knew that there were no sword scriptures in it, but he didn't disturb the beauty's interest.

Not long after, under Huang Rong's expectant eyes, the divine sculpture removed the stones on the mound, revealing three long swords juxtaposed. Between the first and second swords, there was another long piece of stone, the three swords and the The stone flakes are juxtaposed on a large bluestone.

"Why only a few swords?"

Huang Rong muttered with disappointment on her face, and lost interest in it

Seeing this, Li Ming shook his head helplessly, and lifted the first sword on the right, only to see two lines of small characters engraved on the stone under the sword:

"Fierce and fierce, invincible, use it to compete with the heroes of Heshuo before the weak crown."

When he looked at the sword again, he saw that it was about four feet long and gleaming with blue light, but it was a rare magic weapon. Li Ming put the sword back to its original place.
Lifting up the long piece of stone, there are also two lines of small characters engraved on the bluestone under the piece of stone: "Ziwei Ruanjian, used before the age of 30, it is ominous to accidentally injure a righteous man, so it is abandoned in the deep valley."

Li Ming reached out for the third sword again, and easily picked up the black iron epee in his hand. After a little weighing, it weighed about seventy or eighty catties, but it was a bit heavier than the golden sword and halberd used on the battlefield. times

I saw that both sides of the Xuantie epee were blunt, and the tip of the sword was rounder like a hemisphere. Looking at the stone carving under the sword, I saw two lines of small words:

"The epee has no sharp edge, and great skill does not work. Before the age of 40, rely on it to run rampant in the world."

Li Ming used a sword instead of a knife to wield the black iron epee in his hand. For a while, the sword mound was like a hurricane, and then he waved it lightly, as if he had no strength at all, but the stone wall where he passed turned into powder. Among them, the power can be seen in the eyes of the divine eagle.

After a long time, Li Ming put down his epee and went to fetch the last wooden sword. The body and hilt of the sword had decayed over time, but the stone carving under the sword said:

"After the age of 40, don't stick to things. Plants, trees, bamboo and stones can all be used as swords. Since then, I have been intensively practicing and gradually progressing to the realm where no sword is better than having a sword."

Li Ming looked at the words "No sword is better than the realm with a sword", but he felt the words were distorted. When he looked intently, he felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a long sword in the hand of a lonely figure pierced mysteriously. The artistic conception of breaking all laws enveloped Li Ming
Li Ming looked at the long sword in the figure's hand, and felt a pain in his eyes. He was about to avoid it but found that the sword energy was still following him, as if it had been locked

Li Ming tried his best to mobilize his inner strength and was about to strike, but he only felt a blur in front of him. There was no lonely figure in front of him. Li Ming settled down, closed his eyes and savored the sword of Dugu Qiubai carefully. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't help it Lamenting Dugu Qiubai's peerless demeanor, he couldn't help muttering to himself
"Is this the way of swordsmanship of Senior Dugu? It's good to break all spells with one sword in your hand."

After a long time, under Huang Rong's worried eyes, Li Ming slowly opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed by, obviously he gained a lot
"Brother Ming, are you okay?"

Huang Rong stepped forward and looked at Li Ming worriedly, and seeing the girl worried, Li Ming patted the girl's jade hand to comfort her, "Rong'er, I'm fine, on the contrary, I've gained a lot this time."

"What is the harvest that makes you so happy"

"I can't tell the truth"

Faced with Huang Rong's puzzled eyes, Li Ming did not explain it. The artistic conception is mysterious and mysterious, but it is difficult to explain it clearly. It can only be based on personal perception.

"Rong'er, let's go back, it's getting late"

Li Ming raised his head and looked out of the cave, but it was almost dusk before he knew it, the two of them leaped to the sky platform one by one, different from the movement of the divine sculpture falling to the ground, Li Ming hugged Huang Rong lightly like a leaf. No surprises.

"Brother Diao, it's fate that we met by chance, and we're leaving now. Would you like to accompany Senior Dugu's grave here, or walk with me?"

The divine eagle looked at the sword mound and wailed a few times as an answer. Li Ming sighed, but he understood the answer. After bowing his hands, he took Huang Rong and flew away.
