Chapter 23 Three Doors Hidden Sword
Old Duan drives, sits securely in the three-person carriage.The red clothes are still covered with red gauze, Song Zhiqing has never seen Zun Yunshang's real face until now.

Song Zhiqing had a huge scabbard across his knees, stuffed with green cloth and a knife inside, listening to Yi Xiao's biography of unofficial history with great interest, completely forgetting his original intention of coming to block the way.

"100 years ago, the Qi River was difficult to cross. A defeated prince was besieged here. Everyone thought that the defeated prince had nowhere to escape. Who knew that there was a ferryman who looked like a fairy on the difficult Qi River. , crossed the defeated prince to go northward. This led to the later invincible Overlord of Western Chu. The overlord not only claimed the empire, but also defeated the former enemies, and pushed all the opponents horizontally." Yi Xiao shook his head and looked at Song Zhi. The appearance of the fingers couldn't help but laugh, "The Overlord Xijian, he had the feat of opening a mountain with a sword during his lifetime. After his death, he didn't know where his tomb was. He collected all the famous swords in the world and slept with him forever."

As Yi Xiao spoke, she stretched out three fingers, "But there is a poem about the Overlord's Hidden Sword in the world, and it says that the Overlord's Hidden Sword is in the world, hiding the sharpest three-handed sword in an unknown place."

"Speak quickly," Song Zhi looked at Yi Xiao lightly to whet his appetite, and stopped talking halfway, his eyebrows raised in anxiety, "Where are these three swords hidden?"

Yi Xiao curled her lips, "Hey, if someone knows where it is, can it still be called an unknowable place? Overlord has left a clue, saying that there are three gates where the sword is hidden: Dragon Gate, Ghost Gate, and Heaven Gate. This is so mysterious Xuan, who knows where these three gates are? However, Xuan Shangyu of the Northern Wei Dynasty mentioned the clues of the Dragon Gate. The Dragon Gate is hidden in the world, and the place where the dragon veins converge suggests that the Dragon Gate should be where the Western Chu started."

Song Zhiqing frowned and thought about it. Overlord went north to build a country, and it seemed to be near here, "Western Chu is rising. Isn't that right here?"

After speaking, he opened the curtain and looked at the yellow sand in the desert, flying sand and rocks, his eyes were fascinated by the sand, and he couldn't help but choked, "This is a barren place, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it?"

Yi Xiao smiled, "It's really not like it now, but it was indeed here that Xichu started a hundred years ago."

"Doesn't that mean that there is a dragon gate under our feet?" Song Zhiqing smirked, "Would it be possible to dig out the hidden sword by digging it down?"

Yi Xiao scolded with a smile, "This yellow sand area is nearly a hundred miles wide, so you can dig slowly. I don't know if you can dig that sword in your lifetime."

It is close to Fengting City, sparsely populated, it is a barren land, the sky is full of yellow sand, and it is difficult to see an inn.Yi Xiao and the others are heading to the inn mentioned in the Vientiane Pavilion information. According to the information, the proprietress of the inn is very likely to be the survivor of the Nine Swords, Mu Huanyan. If this is the case, Hong Yier will find her It is only one step away to find the survivors of the Mu family and reveal the truth about the demise of the Mu family.

After walking in the vast yellow sand for more than half an hour, I saw the faint shadow of the inn in the distance.

There is a big flag flying, and the name in front of the inn has been worn away by yellow sand, making it difficult to see clearly.

Yi Xiao looked at it from a distance, and wondered in his heart: Could it be a certain inn in the book? After entering, it can be regarded as a trip to the muddiest water in the Jianghu. A big bearded man with swords drawn?Will there be a young chivalrous woman wearing a veiled hat and only showing a pursed smile?Will there be a peerless master hiding in the inn?Will there be a young proprietress squatting on the roof, scolding her mother and jumping her feet?Thinking of this, Yi Xiao quickly shook her head, and denied the last thought; the proprietress Mu Huanyan was 30 years old ten years ago, and now she is really a middle-aged lady. Gone?
Yi Xiao felt a little frustrated. As expected, there was still a gap between the ideal and the reality. After finally making up so many coincidences, why couldn't there be a plot in the novel?

Song Zhiqing pulled Yi Xiao over, and whispered, "Why do I feel something is wrong?"

Yi Xiao frowned slightly when she heard this. Although there are few people, there are fewer inns. The sword wine party is about to start, and passers-by have to rest. How come there are no guests in these inns?

"Could it be the reason for Sen Luo Dao's plan to kill the demon?" Yi Xiao said to himself, "The Northern Wei Dynasty master calculated that the rain demon head would come here, and emptied the inn in advance to attack the rain demon head? If so, the inside Except for the proprietress who was the bait, she should be the master Sen Luodao arranged for."

Hong Yi'er slowly opened his eyes and sensed the atmosphere around him, "There are very few people in the inn, are they waiting for Mu Yu to take the bait? There are one woman and two men who know martial arts, two of the ninth rank and one of the eighth rank. They are all masters."

Sure enough, there were no two groups of people in the rivers and lakes who were at war. Yi Xiao sighed, looked out of the carriage with some resentment in his eyes, and murmured, "Then we should have arrived at the inn before the head of the rain demon, or go in and report your identity directly ?”

Yi Xiao glanced at Hongyi'er, she hadn't seen her relatives for ten years, and now the inn was filled with familiar clansmen, and in 10 minutes, they would meet again, although her expression was covered under the veil, she could feel The tension of this red-clothed beauty.

Maybe it's been too many years, but the sudden meeting now made the red-clothed child a little uncomfortable. She paused slightly, frowned and said, "Don't reveal your identity, I want to see Aunt Mu first? She .After so many years, I don’t know how I’ve been doing.”

Yi Xiao smiled and said, "Is there still a fake? My Wanxiang Pavilion information will never be wrong."

Zun Yunzhang slowly shook his head, Song Zhi whispered, "Why do I feel something is wrong?"

Yi Xiao could only spread out a folded portrait, which was a portrait of Mu Huanyan, which was slightly worn, and could be seen to be a graceful beauty, and said helplessly, "Mu Family Nine Swords, Mu Huanyan is the only woman, ten years It is estimated that she has about eight ranks of strength, there is a birthmark on her neck, and she is good at left-handed swords, and the time of disappearance and the time of appearance here are exactly the same. When we meet, we will know."

In the inn, a woman in a black robe frowned. She was nearly forty years old, but her appearance was still undiminished, with extraordinary grace, and a dark red birthmark was faintly visible on her neck.It's just that her expression was a little cold at this time, and she looked coldly at the two men in the same black clothes within three feet of her.One person was nearly two meters tall, covered in fat like a hill, and was carrying a black jug the size of a skull. There was no idea what kind of liquid was in the jug, and it sounded extremely viscous when shaken.The other person was short in stature, only half the height of the previous one, mainly hunched over, grinning, and carrying a big black cloth bag.

"After waiting for so long, someone finally came." The short man named Lu Xingying, with slender arms like an ape, scratched his cheek, and said with a smile, "Yuan Shan, guess if it's the person who confessed?" Someone to wait for."

The tall and burly black-clothed Yuan Shan grinned, his laughter sounded like thunder, he unscrewed the black pot and took a big gulp down his throat, tightened the black pot again, and rubbed his palms nervously.

Seeing that Yuan Shan was so excited that he unscrewed the black pot, Lu Xingsun knew that he was really excited. He changed his smiling eyes, looked up and down the black-robed woman, and pointed out like an ape's long arms, sealing the black robe. The woman's acupoints, he said with a smile, "Little lady, I don't want to do this either. In order to ensure the success of the plan, I still have to wrong you."

The black-robed woman snorted coldly and rolled her eyes.

A high-pitched voice came from Yuan Shan's belly, like a newborn baby, and said pleasantly, "Come here!"

Lu Xingyan straightened his clothes unhurriedly, and said with a smile, "How long has it been since you got so excited, boy, that you can't help but talk with the thunder in your stomach, just don't talk later, but don't let yourself get caught, Otherwise, we can’t afford to blame that person.”
