"There is one more thing." Xue Qinglan thought about what he said when he was agitated the night before, and it was quite difficult to face, so he should not deliberately divert other topics from Wen Heng's words. The agreement between-"
However, Wen Heng stopped him and said, "Don't think about this for now, so as not to worry about your heart and mind, we'll talk about it when you're healthy."
Xue Qinglan is a descendant of the holy hand, and he has excellent medical skills. How could he not be aware of his current physical condition? I'm afraid that if I don't say it now, I won't have the opportunity to say it again in the future. But he didn't want to tell the truth that made Wen Heng sad, so he cheered up and said, "It doesn't matter, I slept for a long time and wanted to talk to you."
Wen Heng sighed, put his legs up on the bed, leaned on the head of the bed as a meat pad, and hugged Xue Qinglan up to make him lie down more comfortably. Xue Qinglan leaned on his chest and said slowly: "After I took you to Fengping Villa, I deliberately lied to Li until the dungeon looked at you, and told my subordinates to pretend to be him and return to Chu's house. Thanks to him, I have found out these days. Lots of useful news."
“Not long ago, Chu Songzheng sent a letter to Fang Wujiu, proposing that if the Xingzong would help to catch you, he would tell Fang Wujiu the secret behind the Xiji Lake underground palace and the ancient sword. The secret is actually It's very simple, we've known for a long time that there are two swords in this world that are the same as the Fengyue Sword, one is the Chunjun sword of the Chunjun faction, the other is the ancient sword we saw in the palace last time, and the other The sword corresponds to an underground palace, and there are many martial arts secrets in the underground palace, and the text on the top comes from the same source as the sword inscription."
Xue Qinglan's spirit was very poor, and his voice gradually weakened after a few words. He rested on Wen Heng's shoulder for a while, tilted his head and coughed twice, took a breath, and continued, "Brother Heng, Yueying Mountain has an underground palace, Xiji Lake has an underground palace, so why do you think the Chu Family Sword Sect knows about the underground palace?"
Wen Heng's thoughts turned and he immediately understood: "What do you mean, there may be an underground palace hidden in Si Youshan?"
"That's right," Xue Qinglan said. "The ancient sword in the palace named 'Xuanyuan' was offered to the emperor by the Chu family's sword faction, exactly seven years ago."
Seven years is a very sensitive date for Wen Heng, so when Xue Qinglan mentioned it, a certain nerve in his mind immediately trembled: "Is this matter related to my family's case?"
"With the identity of 'Li Zhi', the information that can be found is really limited, I dare not assert." Xue Qinglan said, "But Brother Heng, do you remember that night in the palace, the inner guard said that your father was hugging him. Cui Zhai was killed with the 'Xuanyuan Sword' - how can there be such a coincidence in the world? There must be a connection we don't know about."
Wen Heng's hand around his shoulder tightened unconsciously, Xue Qinglan felt the pain, but did not say anything, and continued as if nothing had happened: "Besides these, there is another unexpected reward. Four years ago, the succession ceremony of the Yujie elders of the Chunjun faction. In fact, their treasure of the town - that fake sword - was actually stolen by the Chu family in the end."
"Chu Family Sword Sect?" Wen Heng was stunned for a moment, "But the person who fought against me in the forbidden area of the back mountain that night was clearly a martial artist of the Chuixing Sect, and the next day in the Tibetan Sword Pavilion, I was found to have been killed. His broken scabbard."
Previously, they knew from Gu Chuifang that the real sword had long been stolen, so they didn't bother to think about the fake sword anymore. At this time, they suddenly found out the truth of the old story. The two seemed to be holding a mess, and they clearly found a thread, but they didn't know it. Where to start. Xue Qinglan guessed: "Could it be that two groups of people shot at the same time, and one side took the lead?"
Wen Heng pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Who is in the Chuxing Sect who knows about the underground palace?"
Xue Qinglan: "The matter is confidential, except for the suzerain and his cronies to protect the law, the rest of the people know nothing about it."
"That's weird," Wen Heng said, "The Chu family's sword sect had already joined the imperial court at that time, and the pure Jun sword was already in the palace, so why did they need to go to great lengths to steal a fake sword? Apart from the Chu family and senior Gu, even the head of the sect doesn’t know about it, how did the people from the Chui Xing Sect know about it?”
"Maybe I heard that the Chunjun faction has an ancient sword, so I guess it is the same as the Fengyue Sword, it is the key to another underground palace." Xue Qinglan changed her words, "But don't think too much about things. Coincidence, as far as I know, the sect master has never had the idea of Chunjun sword before, and he never made his trusted guardian pay special attention to this kind of thing. Maybe that person just wanted to steal the treasure of the town sect and slap Chunjun sect in the face. Woolen cloth?"
Wen Heng pondered: "It makes sense. But if you put it this way, since that person is not a high-level figure in the Hanging Star Sect, it rules out the possibility that he invaded from the outside; He is a close friend of the elders of each peak, which means that among these 'decent figures', there is one person who concealed his origin and inheritance of martial arts. And that night, he took a small road from the back mountain of Yuquan Peak and entered the forbidden area of Linqiu Peak, indicating that He is very familiar with the terrain of Yueying Mountain, especially Yuquan Peak; considering the distance between the peaks, it is very likely that he lived on Yuquan Peak that night and was the guest of Elder Qin Ling - Qinglan, Xue Ci once revealed to you Has he come from a sect?"
Xue Qinglan's heart beat wildly twice, her mind was suddenly confused, she immediately pulled her internal injuries, bowed and coughed violently. Wen Heng hurriedly helped him sit up and sighed, stroking his back and sighing: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about that, there is a stewed chicken soup in the kitchen, I'll bring a bowl to it, drink it and sleep for a while, OK?"
Xue Qinglan's eyes turned black, and the noise in his ears was chaotic. He couldn't quite hear what he said, so he nodded casually. Wen Heng got up from the bed, carefully helped him lie down to rest, carefully tucked the quilt, and then turned to go out. Not long after, he brought back a cup of hot astragalus chicken soup from downstairs, and coaxed Xue Qinglan to drink a small half bowl. However, Xue Qinglan was suffering from chest pain even when he was panting. Before he could drink a few sips, he pushed his wrist and said, "Enough, Brother Heng, you haven't eaten and rested yet, so stop worrying about me."
Wen Heng put the soup bowl away, turned around and said, "I don't care who else can you care for? When you recover from your illness, you can do whatever you want with me. Right now, focus on your own injury and worry less. Rest, okay?"
Xue Qinglan thought to himself: "If there is a future, of course it would be better, but if there is no chance for me to talk to you, maybe only these three or five days." , In addition to regret, I felt fortunate, so I smiled and replied "Okay", and said: "You were brought out of Zhanchuan City in a hurry by me, you must not have enough money on your body, I still have a few silver coins in my arms. The ticket, you take it to emergency."
"Got it." Wen Heng raised his hand to cover his eyes and said softly, "Stop talking, sleep for a while, I'll be here with you."
Xue Qinglan was mentally fatigued, and at this time he really reached the limit, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep holding Wen Heng's hand.
Wen Heng saw him fall asleep, although he frowned slightly because of the pain in the dream, but today's complexion was better than last night, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and had the time to distract himself to carefully scrutinize the few things Xue Qinglan gave him. information.
Previously, he only focused on Chunjun Sword and Yueying Mountain Palace. At most, he thought that Chunjun Sword was related to Kunlun Buxu Palace, but he never considered Chunjun Sword, Fengyue Sword and Xuanyuan Sword. Wen Heng always felt that there was a vague idea in his mind, which made him have a terrifying premonition for no reason. He just mentioned Xue Ci and scared Xue Qinglan so much, so he didn't have time to go deeper. After thinking about it, and thinking about it carefully now, the many chaotic threads are strangely connected end to end, and gradually outlines the outline of a past event.
Chunjun, Fengyue, and Xuanyuan are roughly the same in shape, and the inscriptions are consistent with the handwriting on the Wujin token of Buxu Palace, so the origin and use of these three swords are likely to have been born in Feng Baoyi, who was born in Buxu Palace. Knowing that, and after he defected to the Buxu Palace, he joined the inner guard and brought this secret into the palace. Assuming that Nie Zhu’s stealing swords came from the imperial court thirty years ago, and Feng Baoyi’s goal was to collect these three swords, judging from the collection of Yongcuizhai, the progress of this matter does not seem to be going smoothly. Twenty years after the sword, the imperial court finally got the Xuanyuan sword presented by the Chu family.
But what is puzzling is that seven years ago, the Chu family had surrendered to the imperial court by offering their swords, so they knew that Chunjun sword was in the palace, why would they thankfully steal the fake sword again three years later
Wen Heng just sat still, but his heart beat faster and faster for no reason. He was like a craftsman who unraveled the stone skin layer by layer, sweating coldly, knowing that he had finally touched the core that frightened him the most.
If Feng Baoyi was sitting behind all this, and the Chu family stealing the sword was also at his instigation, then the reason why he made this judgment was probably because he suspected that the Chunjun sword he had already obtained was a fake, so he had to take the Chunjun sword. Pai has always claimed that the treasure of Zhen Pai has not been lost to verify the authenticity - but the Chunjun sword has been stolen by Nie Zhu for more than 20 years, why did Feng Baoyi not find it before, but only after 20 years? Who reminded him
Without Wen Heng thinking about it, the answer naturally emerged in his mind—
Seven years ago, Feng Baoyi probably already had a "Xuanyuan Sword" in his hand.
Since the Chunjun Sword is real, he is convinced that the "Xuanyuan Sword" is of course also real. However, when the Chu family sword sect took out the real Xuanyuan sword, Feng Baoyi realized that he had been cheated by someone all along.
This date is most likely not a coincidence.
Seven years ago, the truth about the two swords was revealed, and the first person to be investigated must be the one who fabricated the lie; also seven years ago, his father, the younger brother of the current emperor, King Wen Kezhen of Qing, was accused of "deceiving the king. Shang" and was executed by Feng Baoyi with the Xuanyuan sword in Yongcuizhai.
Maybe a few people actually went to find these three swords, so the swords found, Chunjun is true, Xuanyuan is false; What Nie Zhu owed the Chunjun faction back then had to be repaid by his only blood.
