Shaoshan is nearly ten miles away from Yunlan Town and is named after its abundant peony flowers. When the flowers bloom, they are in full bloom, the fragrance spreads for miles, and the scenery is breathtakingly beautiful. In addition, Shaoshan also produces iron ore, which Xu Zheng discovered shortly after arriving in Yunlan Town. The blacksmith shop has relied entirely on the iron ore here to support its business over the years.
In the red sun, the cicadas sing melodiously. Ye Ling and Wu Qing walked out of the dark mine one after another, their bodies covered with dust, and the baskets behind them were full of iron ore.
"Second brother, what's wrong with your hand?" Wu Qing stopped Ye Ling and took his left hand. He saw a new wound on the palm of his hand, with blood flowing out.
Ye Ling endured the pain and forced out a smile: "I accidentally scratched it just now, it's nothing serious."
"How can that be okay? After so much blood, it's okay." Wu Qing rummaged around the two of them anxiously, and found the rags he bought from an old beggar a few days ago from Ye Ling.
Since buying this piece of cloth, Ye Ling has kept it close to him and spent time studying it every day, but unfortunately he has found nothing. I even once suspected that my feeling was wrong and that this was just an ordinary rag.
"Wrap it with it first, and we'll talk about it later when we get back." As he said that, Wu Qing wrapped the wound with the piece of cloth.
But at the moment when the red blood soaked into the rag, a dazzling beam of light rose into the sky and soared into the sky. Ripples carrying invisible power spread around, knocking Wu Qing away and causing her to fall to the ground.
Wu Qing climbed up and looked at the scene in front of her in shock.
Countless human-shaped white shadows appeared around Ye Ling, waving long swords in their hands and demonstrating various strange sword moves, which seemed to contain the supreme truth and resonate with heaven.
After a moment, countless shadows came together again, revealing the image of a man in white clothes and unparalleled beauty. He exuded a royal demeanor that made people want to worship him. His eyes are as deep as the endless night sky, containing thousands of stars; his expression is neither sad nor happy, neither warm nor cold, and as calm as a pool of water.
He opened his mouth slightly, with an undeniable tone: "The chaos has just begun, the innate sword body, pass on my mantle, and light my path."
The man reached out and touched Ye Ling's eyebrows gently, and a powerful force entered Ye Ling's meridians and quickly traveled throughout his body.
"The body is refined with Gang Qi, transformed into sharp edge, and the foundation of swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world."
Ye Ling instantly felt as if his body was on fire, and he was in unbearable pain as if he were tearing out his gallbladder and gouging out his heart. The power was like a sharp blade, cutting wantonly through his body, making him taste like hell on earth.
The pain in his body forced Ye Ling to kneel on the ground, suffering in agony. His sweat flowed like spring water and wet the ground.
But despite the pain, Ye Ling found that his physique was constantly strengthening, and every muscle seemed to contain immeasurable power. Even his consciousness and spirit were unknowingly far beyond ordinary people.
Ye Ling knew that this would be of great benefit to him. No matter how cruel the process was, he would grit his teeth and persevere...
The blacksmith shop was not open as usual today. Xu Zheng was sitting in the room, drinking alone, and suddenly said in a cold voice for no reason: "You guys have been here for a while, why don't you show up and have a few drinks with Xu? "
"Hahaha, we are deeply honored to be invited by Dazhu Kingdom." A man in black suddenly appeared in the room out of thin air, cupped his hands at Xu Zheng and said, "But we have important things to do, so we can't accompany you. I hope Dazhu Kingdom will forgive me."
Xu Zheng glanced at him lightly and said without raising his head: "President Hua spent unjust money on me. It's interesting. Tell me what you know."
The man in black did not dare to neglect and said respectfully: "We are ordered to protect the safety of the other two teenagers. As for why, I don't know."
"Second child and third child?" Xu Zheng said with a slight smile: "Two Yingchong realm masters and four Qingyou realm masters, this money is really unjustly spent."
Xu Zheng took a sip from the cup and said, "Since you are not seeking revenge, please do what you want."
The man in black cupped his fists and saluted, and was about to disappear when he turned around and said: "The president asked me to tell Dazhu Kingdom that the Daqian Dynasty is retreating steadily, and the building will collapse. Baili Longteng is about to live long, and his life is not long. Dazhu Kingdom We'll be out of the mountain soon." After saying that, he disappeared without a trace.
Xu Zheng's body trembled, then fell into silence again...
In front of Shaoshan Iron Mine——
In half a stick of incense, the power in Ye Ling's body that made him love and hate him gradually subsided, and the heart-rending pain from before also disappeared.
Ye Ling stood up and waved his fist, and was surprised to find that his strength was not inferior even when faced with a fierce tiger.
In Wu Qing's eyes, the current Ye Ling is like a magic weapon unsheathed, with unparalleled aura.
"The great road is grand, the universe is self-contained, the yin and yang are harmonious, the sword is the only way, the sword diagram returns to its place, to rectify my name."
The rag that was originally suspended in the air once again released a dazzling light, rising slowly, sinking into Ye Ling's eyebrows and disappearing.
Immediately, Ye Ling's head buzzed and he fainted.
"The Nine Heavens Hongmeng transforms into a divine soul,"
"Overturn the world and fall into the mortal world."
"Holding the secret of heaven to seize good fortune,"
"There is no room for such people in the world."
This chant echoed in Ye Ling's mind for a long time...
After completing all this, a faint smile seemed to appear on the calm face of the man in white, which gradually dissipated between heaven and earth.
At the same time that the man in white disappeared, the rag reappeared on Ye Ling's chest, intact and without any abnormalities.
On a mountaintop not far from here, the old beggar had a divine light and could see everything. When he looked back, he turned around and walked, singing loudly in the wind:
"Striding around, traveling in all directions, doing nothing but spending the Spring and Autumn Period. Looking at the world with a cold eye, everyone is lost and becomes a horse or a cow. Wealth and wealth make a body of flesh, but when it is buried, it turns into a skeleton. It is only a dream to be busy to the end. If I have no worries, I have no worries. Heaven No matter what, you don’t ask for anything, you are the most elegant and elegant. The rotten shoes are in the world of energy, and the rags are made of satin. You can also sing, you can laugh, and you can also roll your eyes and look down on the prince. There is yin and yang in the belly, and the world is in the palm of your hand. . I came to play games from my madness to enlighten the world and never turn around."
…
The teahouse in the town was unexpectedly closed today, which really didn't fit with the boss's money-loving character who cares about every penny.
The fat boss and the storyteller Lao He stood side by side at the door, looking in the direction of Shaoshan Mountain.
"The movement is quite big. The major sects won't notice it, right?"
"Don't worry, I have already set up a god-level insulation formation outside the entire Yunlan Town. No one can find it except a few old immortals like you."
"It's good to have money!" Lao He turned around and walked in, saying as he walked: "The matter here is over, it's time for us to leave."
The fat boss had a wry smile on his face, and when he thought of that god-level formation, his heart seemed to be bleeding. But then he thought about the deal he had just negotiated, which made him feel happy.
"After all, I am a businessman, and I have to make a profit!"
…
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Ling slowly opened his eyes and found that he was no longer in front of the cave, but in a gorgeous palace. Wu Qing, who was originally beside him, was nowhere to be seen.
He stood up and looked around. This palace is very spacious, and the surrounding walls are made of white jade. The palace is filled with clouds and resplendent, and you can't even see the edges. The towering building is carved with lifelike dragon patterns, showing its majesty and solemnity.
As he walked further, the sound of chess moves could be heard faintly in Ye Ling's ears. Through the faint cloud curtain, Ye Ling saw a high platform deep in the hall, with two people sitting opposite each other playing chess.
The person on the left is dressed in white, elegant and elegant; the person on the right is in a snow-colored robe, calm and dignified.
Ye Ling climbed up the steps and came to stand next to the two of them.
The two people playing chess didn't seem to notice Ye Ling. They still stared at the chess game and kept alternating moves.
Ye Ling looked at the faces of the two people, but found that his eyes seemed to be deliberately blocked by something, making them blurry. Then he turned his attention to the chess game in the middle.
Although Ye Ling often watches some Go explanations, it is still a bit difficult to watch and analyze the chess games like now. Looking back, Ye Ling just found that black was at a slight disadvantage and was forced to fight to the death by white.
In this stalemate, Ye Ling suddenly discovered that a few black stones located in the hinterland of the white chess piece were holding on to a glimmer of life. If a stone were dropped here, the whole game would be alive, and black would once again gain the advantage over white. Even chances. Otherwise, Black's defeat has appeared and his situation is worrying.
The person on the right chuckled, pointed to the "vital area" and said, "If you place a piece here, you still have a chance to compete with me, but have you chosen this crucial chess piece?"
The man on the left was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said to Ye Ling: "One wrong step between the latitude and longitude will lead to an unexpected abyss. Are you willing to be this chess piece?"
"This..." Just when Ye Lingmang was unaware, another wave of dizziness struck him, causing him to lose consciousness again and disappear from the Palace of Disappearance.
"You keep saying that I control the people and have my own way, but how is your current approach different from mine?"
The person on the left didn't answer. He stood up and left. When he came to the door of the hall, he suddenly said: "Whether the particle falls or not is not entirely decided by me. This is the difference between you and me."
The palace door closed with a bang, and the lingering sound echoed in the hall for a long time...
