Outside Xuanliu Town, a man and a horse arrived gracefully.
A man came down immediately. His face was as white as jade, his face was handsome, his eyes were like stars, and his lips were stained with blood. He was such a handsome young man.
He was wearing light gray clothes, and he probably had light armor underneath to hold up his clothes.
Although he is a handsome young man, his star-like eyes contain an eternal sadness.
The young man carries three sword scabbards on his back, but only two have swords in them.
He came to find his third sword.
After entering Xuanliu Town, he first stopped where he was, looked around silently, and finally walked towards the north.
A quarter of an hour later, he was still heading north with steady steps.
Liu Xin counted his steps until one thousand two hundred and eighty steps later, he finally saw a faint light in front of him.
When we came to the end of the tunnel, there was a stone door that opened upward. The stone door was heavy, but it was not a problem for Dacheng realm warriors.
Opening the stone door, Liu Xin left the tunnel.
What comes into view is the interior of a building.
Liu Xin looked around and felt that the furnishings here seemed like a military camp, and it was also the military camp of the military commander.
Because there is a giant sand table placed in the middle position, but this sand table is already covered with dust.
However, because this place is sealed, except for dust, most of the furnishings can still see their original appearance.
The weapon rack has become a pile of rotten wood, with only a few rusty iron pieces buried in the dust. It can be seen that they are all swords in their original form.
Liu Xin briefly checked inside and found that most of the things were rotten and fell apart when touched.
Finally, Liu Xin's eyes fell on the giant sand table in the middle.
After carefully brushing off the dust on it, the true appearance of the sand table was revealed, and Liu Xin immediately stayed where he was.
Liu Xin was very familiar with a certain area of this sand table. It was the terrain where he conducted experiments to test his direction.
At that time, in order to pay attention to when he changed direction, Liu Xin wrote down all the landforms in that area.
Now it is confirmed by the sand table that it is 80% similar, and Liu Xin can be sure that this sand table corresponds to Xuanliu Town.
Looking at the sand table from a high place, Liu Xin's eyes were full of shock.
Because Xuanliu Town is not an ordinary border defense army town at all.
Rather
A big formation!
The overall view of Xuanliu Town is a large formation with a circle on the outside and a square on the inside.
The landform he paid attention to before turned out to be an arc, but when he walked, he clearly felt that he was walking in a straight line.
Because all routes are clockwise, the final direction will be to the east.
In fact, it is not that there are any strange evil forces in Xuanliu Town, but that this is a large formation, and it is a trapped formation.
Liu Xin's attention was completely focused on the sand table, and time passed little by little.
By the time Liu Xin had completely memorized the sand table, half an hour had passed.
Liu Xin suddenly turned around and looked at the stone door he opened when he left the tunnel.
The stone gate was still quiet, no different from when he came, but Liu Xin felt a little cold in his heart.
Jianghu, ha!
Liu Xin turned around and no longer paid attention to the tunnel. The fact that the sand table was here meant that this place must be the center of Xuanliu Town.
He was just about to find a way to leave when he heard footsteps coming from outside.
Then the next moment, the sound of the stone being moved was heard, and there was a flash of sword light at the door. The next moment the stone fell, and dazzling sunlight poured in.
"Um?"
A man's voice came. Liu Xin squinted his eyes and saw a young man carrying a sword through the strong light.
Liu Xin was stunned on the spot because he was very familiar with this person.
This man was dressed in gray and white robes. He jumped down and patted the dust off his body.
He is very handsome, with red lips and white teeth, and a dignified appearance. He can be compared with Liu Xin.
"Are you a contestant in the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition? Did you find a tunnel and come in here?
Your luck is really good! "
The man said to himself, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but soon he stopped paying attention to Liu Xin. Instead, he came to the sand table and muttered to himself:
"Master asked me to find the sand table first, but it's really hard to find.
Let me see where the Heavenly Evil Sword is..."
The evil sword!
Liu Xin came to his senses instantly, and while opening the properties panel, he muttered to himself:
"Long time no see, Senior Brother of the Liutian Sect, Jiang Chong!"

Zhu Guangxiao!
He turned out to be Zhu Guangxiao's personal disciple, and his plans were very big. What does this mean?
Could it be possible that Lord Wu is actually the villain?
Does Jiang Chong's family feud refer to Kunli Sect or Emperor Wu City?
For a time, a lot of thoughts flashed through Liu Xin's mind.
At this moment, Jiang Chong had found the position he was looking for. He looked up at Liu Xin and couldn't help but find it interesting when he saw the other person's thoughtful expression.
What happened to this kid? Why did he suddenly fall into deep thought?
Was my appearance too sudden and scared him?
"Boy, I'm not participating in the Zhengyang martial arts competition. I'm just here to pick up something. It won't affect your competition!"
Liu Xin came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Chong, his eyes full of complexity.
There was a hint of melancholy in Jiang Chong's eyes, but a faint smile on his face.
"Okay, get out of here quickly, this is just a ruins, nothing good.
Complete your mission as soon as possible and get out of here! "
After saying that, Jiang Chong turned around and left, came to the bottom of the cave entrance, jumped up, and left from the entrance.
It wasn't until Jiang Chong left that the complex color in Liu Xin's eyes gradually faded.
He didn't expect that he would meet Jiang Chong again.
The other party obviously didn't recognize him. He was just a teenager back then.
Master, the Heavenly Evil Sword.
It seems that Duke Wu asked him to get the Tiansha Sword. Is the Tiansha Sword the exquisite weapon of Situ Liu, the number one general of Emperor Wuyang?
That was directly prompted by the property panel, so it was definitely not a mortal object.
Moreover, the prompt in the property panel is to let you explore this place. I don't know if I have completed the prompt.
But where are the rewards for that low-profile system?
Liu Xin felt vaguely that he had not achieved the purpose of exploration, so he turned to look at the sand table.
He had roughly looked at other places in the camp, and there was nothing special about it. Only the sand table had not been carefully inspected.
Liu Xin came to the sand table and just touched the sand table with his hand. The sand table couldn't support it and collapsed suddenly.
Before being exposed to external force, the sand table could still withstand it, but in fact it was already rotten inside and would collapse at the first touch.
Seeing the sand table turn into a real plate of loose sand, Liu Xin was speechless.
However, his keen eyesight saw that when the sand tray was scattered, there seemed to be something different inside.
Liu Xin waited for the smoke to dissipate, and a kraft paper scroll was exposed without him having to look for it.
He reached out and carefully pulled out the brown paper scroll.
Although it is made of cowhide, it may not be very tough after such a long time.
Opening it carefully, Liu Xin saw vaguely legible words on it.
Because of Jiang Chong, a big hole was opened, and the sunlight from the hole made the place brighter.
Liu Xin watched carefully. He had read all the Shengzong's archives since he was a child, because he believed that the best way to understand the world was the content recorded in books.
Generally, no one would write randomly with the purpose of deceiving future generations.
Therefore people can often find the truth and facts in books.
Even some emperors exaggerated and wrote historical records in order to praise their own achievements.
But there is always someone who records the real situation.
Just like the kraft paper roll in Liu Xin's hand at this time, the content recorded in it can be said to be what Huangfu Rongjiang told,
Totally contradictory!
This volume of cowhide should have been written by Situ Liu, the number one general of Emperor Wuyang.
Situ Liu is also the origin and founder of Sima in the army.
As the first Sima in the army, although he was not the most brave general at that time, he was not the strongest in martial arts.
But rightly, he is definitely the biggest one.
At that time, Emperor Wuyang was just a vassal king. The largest in the army was Emperor Wuyang, who personally took command.
With the conquest of the Northern Barbarians, they continued to regain their territory.
The Northern Man Kingdom abandoned the city of Nanjing, and half of the vassal kings broke out in a civil strife in Nanjing for the sake of the old capital.
This directly caused the kings to lose less than half of their combat power.
The Northern Barbarian Kingdom also tried to fight back.
At this time, Emperor Wuyang took over the remnants of the stupid vassal kings who were fighting each other, and directly abandoned the city of Nanjing, becoming the most powerful among the kings.
Because the composition of the army is complex, especially the old tribes of the feudal kings, they all have grudges against each other.
Therefore, for a time, Emperor Wuyang's army was in chaos.
At this time, Situ Liu stood up, took over the power of military law, established a military law department, and used strict military laws to control the army.
The effect was of course good. Emperor Wuyang's military discipline of 150,000 troops and horses at that time was even better than that of other vassals with 20,000 to 30,000 troops.
However, strict military discipline also brings hidden dangers.
Of course, this hidden danger was not for Emperor Wuyang, but for Situ Liu.
It can be said that everyone in the army, except Emperor Wuyang, hated Situ Liu.
Because the military laws enacted by Situ Liu were too strict, and everyone except Emperor Wuyang was punished.
In the final battle, Emperor Wu Yang had the strongest army, but the slowest mobility.
In order to be the first to enter the imperial capital city and seize the throne, Emperor Wuyang came up with a way.
That is to order the three armies. As long as the army can be the first to invade the imperial capital, he will order the assassination of Situ Liu and his military law department.
Unexpectedly, everyone in the army agreed. They just made a request that Situ Liu must die first.
Only when Situ Liu and his Military Law Office were gone, could they dare to enter the city to party, dare to do something, and have the motivation to enter the imperial capital before everyone else.
Otherwise, even if we attack the city, we will just watch people eat meat.
Emperor Wuyang knew that this was the last battle, for his own plan and for the morale of the army.
He sent Situ Liu and his military law department, as well as part of the army he wanted to get rid of, and ordered them to attack Xuanliu Town.
Because Xuanliu Town is the last line of defense deployed by the Northern Barbarian State Master Manchengke.
In fact, it's not really a line of defense, it's just a suspicion formation and a so-called Xuan Liu Formation.
It is said to be a combination of the formations learned from the formation masters Xuan Tongzi and Liu Wu.
The national master claimed that no one from the Central Plains could break this formation, trying to use this method to save the last bit of luck for the Northern Barbarian Kingdom.
It is a pity that State Master Man Chengke has studied the culture of the Central Plains people for decades, and thought he had discovered the face-loving nature of the Central Plains people, but he only scratched the surface.
None of the vassal kings looked directly at the so-called Xuan Liu Formation.
Everyone rushed into the imperial capital city.
Just when State Master Man Chengke thought that no one would pay attention to him, Situ Liu led 8,000 people to the outside of the Xuan Liu Formation.
The fateful battle between Manchengke and Situ Liu has officially begun.
The time recorded on the kraft paper roll is even ten days after Emperor Wuyang captured the imperial capital.
In other words, in this Xuan Liu formation, the battle between Situ Liu and Man Chengke lasted for more than ten days.
At this time, everyone else was busy. Fight for your own rights.
Emperor Wuyang might also be secretly happy that he had ascended the supreme throne.
Everyone had forgotten that there were people fighting there seventy miles outside the city.
In the end, everyone was left here forever.
The black gunpowder was buried by the Northern Barbarian Imperial Guards, who originally planned to bring a powerful army to bury it.
Unexpectedly, he would only be buried for himself in the end.
The last thing Situ Liu left behind before his death was this kraft paper roll.
And this was the last place he attacked. The Northern Barbarian Imperial Master had already escaped.
On the occasion of his final victory, Situ Liu was sent to heaven with black gunpowder.
And the Northern Barbarian Imperial Master left a letter to Situ Liu.
Only then did Situ Liu know that he was not going to die soon, so he left behind this roll of kraft paper.
When Liu Xin saw this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.
None of these emperors are really good.
However, the military legal organization of Sima in the Army seems to have continued.
Moreover, every Sima was hated by people in the military.
If you remember correctly, Huangfu Rongjiang's family is one of the families rich in military commanders.
Learned the truth about an incident that happened more than a hundred years ago.
On the contrary, Liu Xin felt heavy in his heart.
At this moment, the property panel was uncontrollably opened in front of him.
[Congratulations on completing the exploration: Tiansha Sword Incident 1\/3
Congratulations on getting the low configuration system reward*1
Note: There are three branches in the Tiansha Sword event. If you complete the exploration of the three branches, you can get the system reward*1]
[System rewards are being distributed...]
Click!
Just when Liu Xin was still understanding what was written on the properties panel.
There was a sudden snap above his head.
Liu Xin retreated sharply and left the spot.
Boom!
After a heavy banging sound, smoke and dust suddenly filled the air.
Under the sunlight, the smoke and dust are like tiny light points, floating in this not-so-large space.
This scene sounds a bit dazzling.
But Liu Xin was not in the mood to appreciate this.
His eyes were fixed firmly on the center of the smoke.
A wooden box fell down there.
Liu Xin looked up and found a small square hole at the top of the tent.
The small hole was very deep, and the wooden box that fell down was just the right size to get stuck in this small hole.
It turned out that Liu Xin didn't notice the top of his head.
When the smoke gradually dispersed, Liu Xin came to the wooden box.
After more than a hundred years of abuse, the wooden box is still intact.
Even if it fell down, there would only be a slight crack.
"Golden Teeth and Iron Wood!"
Liu Xin discovered this kind of wood from the wood grain.
This is an extremely precious wood.
Its biggest function is to be strong.
It can survive being soaked in water for hundreds of years without rotting, and it can survive being blown by wind for hundreds of years without cracking.
It does not burn when exposed to fire and can avoid water and fire.
In short, although this kind of thing is precious, it is usually used as a coffin...
Of course Liu Xin would not think that there was a corpse hidden in this small wooden box.
Although it is said to be incorruptible for a hundred years, the wood has become a little brittle after so long.
Liu Xin easily inserted the sword through the gap.
With a flick of the sword, the wooden box opened.
Although Liu Xin didn't think that such a small wooden box would contain an exquisite weapon.
But after all, there were still some small expectations in his heart, but when the wooden box was actually opened, Liu Xin could not help but feel a little disappointed.
There was another kraft paper roll inside.
However, this kraft paper roll is obviously better preserved than the previous one.
There's even a hint of elasticity and a dewy glow.
Liu Xin opened it and looked shocked.
This turned out to be a formation diagram of the Xuan Liu Formation.
It's not that Liu Xin recognized the words on this piece of vellum.
Instead, there is a pattern carved on this piece of kraft paper that is exactly the same as the miniature scene on the sand table.
The writing on it is in Northern Mandarin.
Perhaps this thing was left by the Northern Barbarian Imperial Master.
It's just that Situ Liu might not have discovered this thing at the beginning.
Otherwise, it might also be hidden in the sand tray.
Liu Xin looked at this kraft paper roll carefully. It was very detailed and similar to the previous sand table. After comparison, Liu Xin quickly found the solution to this formation.
In fact, this formation is very simple, and many of them are deceptions.
Xuan Liu's formation is not a formation to kill the enemy, but a formation to trap the enemy.
The northern barbarian national master's original plan was to trap as many troops as possible here, and finally use black gunpowder to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
But thinking of this, Liu Xin suddenly had a question in his mind.
Where did the original Beiman Heavenly Kingdom get so much black powder?
Even now, there is not much black powder in Zhengyang Kingdom.
The most important thing is that raw materials are difficult to find.
Mining is difficult and dangerous.
The most important thing is that the recipe for configuring black powder is missing some of the most critical parts.
As a result, Zhengyang State now wants to deploy black gunpowder. It requires a little bit of luck in it.
By chance, you will be able to configure it successfully.
If it happens by accident, it may explode on the spot or the black powder prepared may not have any effect.
