In the Buried Sword Valley, everyone looked at the young man in short shirt and the woman in black who had returned.
The members of Si's old tribe, as well as the masked man who was trapped in the middle, were a little confused. They all speculated that something had happened outside the valley?
Brother Wang was the first to ask: "But there is someone blocking it outside the valley?"
Lin Manliu shook his head in recognition, and then recounted to everyone what had happened outside the valley.
And during the story, the young man in short shirt also raised his own doubts, why are the disciples stationed outside the Sword Buried Valley unaware of the situation inside the valley?
As he spoke, he looked at more masked men in the middle of the crowd, who also looked at him.
Although the masked man was still very weak at this time, he was much better than before. He was able to meditate and regulate his breathing on his own under the restraint of the rope.
"It's normal for little friends to be suspicious, but here I will explain clearly to you the ins and outs of this matter..." The masked man spoke up.
While he was speaking, he looked at the woman in black with her eyes slightly closed. There was more regret and helplessness in her eyes, but there was also a bit more relief.
Lin Manliu also helped his master to sit down, and waited quietly with everyone for what the masked man would say.
Just as Shiyi and Si's old tribe thought, the masked man was Si Yan, the "missing" master of Zhujian Peak.
Under his narration...
In the winter of the second year of Shengyang, he received a sealed report about the sudden death of his father Si Xuan.
Si Yan then led his disciples to leave Zhujian Peak, but before they even left central Guizhou, they were robbed by bandits.
At first they could deal with it smoothly, but every time they resisted bandits, they would be invaded by bandits again before they had traveled half a day.
In this way, no matter how powerful Si Yan and his disciples were, they would still be unable to withstand the thieves' repeated intrusions.
During this period, a message was sent to Zhujian Peak, but no news was sent back until the end...
In the end, under the cover of his disciples, Si Yan was the only one to break out of the encirclement.
In order to find out the cause and take revenge, he had to survive and began to flee south.
But those bandits seemed to be following him all the time, and they would attack and injure Si Yan every six hours.
Later, he realized that the person who came not only wanted to torture him to death, but also had other plans.
Combining the secret reports he had received previously, Si Yan could probably guess that there was a secret agent of the opponent in the Sword Forging Peak, and they were deliberately planning to achieve a certain demand.
After he figured it out, he no longer fled to the location of the Sword-Forming Peak, but left marks along the way, waiting for the disciples of the Sword-forging Peak to discover.
But in the snowy winter, his half-month-long escape still failed to allow him to escape the thieves' pursuit, nor could he wait for the help of Sword-Forging Peak.
Finally, when they reached the bank of Yizhou River, Si Yan knew that there was no way out and wanted to fight to the death.
At that time, he only felt regret for not being able to die with his disciples from the very beginning, nor for being able to watch the young girl in his family grow up.
When the weapon in his hand shattered and he fell to the ground exhausted, the bandits were still unable to kill them all or retreat.
Si Yan still remembered that day by the river, the sky was full of wind and snow, and the ground was stained with blood and white mud.
On the countless corpses were him, the master of the Sword Forging Peak, who had not yet accomplished anything, and his father, who had not yet fulfilled his duties as a human being.
Si Yan could only close his eyes and wait for death with hatred...
Later, he was already dead. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was actually in the valley where the sword was buried.
He wanted to go out and see what happened.
But before he had taken a few steps, he heard a strange, heartbreaking sound that was beating and shocking his heart.
When he took a closer look, he discovered that it was actually the deepest part of the Sword Valley, surrounded by four imitation swords that had not yet been born in the Sword Cottage.
The strange sound was caused by the collision of these weapons. He endured the pain and tried to take a step forward, but was forced to step back.
After thinking deeply at that time, he felt that he should cultivate himself first and then find a way to get out of the valley.
In the early days, it was indeed as he thought. As long as he moved slightly, whether it was collecting morning snow water for preserved fruits or taking more than fifty steps outside, he could still bear it.
But all the peace was broken half a month later.
From the outside of the Buried Sword Valley, more than ten people walked in, and they were also wearing black clothes and covering their faces in the valley.
Si Yan picked up the imitation sword beside him and prepared to fight with it.
But the visitor didn't even approach the deepest part of the Sword Burial Valley. Instead, he started to make sarcastic remarks in a condescending manner.
"Has Lord Si Shan ever thought that one day he would be imprisoned in his own sword tomb?"
"It was really difficult to meet my boss, the Mountain Master, before, but in the future I can do so at any time..."
"I do have some news about the sudden death of the old mountain master, but why should I tell you?"
Listening to the man's words, Si Yan endured the pain caused by the strange sound and imitated a sword with his side to attack and kill the man on the spot.
But before he could throw the imitation sword out, the other men in black behind that man all struck with the Sword-Forging Peak sword gesture.
The sword power flies to Guluan!
All the discarded swords beside them were thrown towards Si Yan's side, and he had no choice but to hold his sword to resist.
But when these imitation swords collided with the imitation sword in Si Yan's hand, the pain that shocked his heart became more severe, and the feeling of powerlessness began to erode his arms.
Si Yan had no choice but to hide deeper, where there was an extremely simple sword-making platform that could just be used to hide himself.
But it can only protect Si Yan from being hurt by the sword...
The leader said loudly: "Master Si, please hide in this buried sword valley where the sun never shines!"
Then the other men in black took action and followed suit, striking all the imitation swords in their hands at the imitation swords around Si Yan.
Whenever these weapons collide, the strange sound will intensify. From the beginning when his heart is blocked, it finally begins to erode Si Yan's consciousness.
Two months passed before he fell into madness.
Whenever he walked out from behind the sword-making platform, someone would throw a sword at his location without even thinking of hurting his body.
Si Yan also thought about resisting or forcing a breakout, but at that time he couldn't even walk out the original fifty steps.
The moment before he lost consciousness, he should have seen the leader again.
The other party smiled and said something to him, "I won't have time to play around with you anymore, so I'll just stay here alone and be a madman..."
Later, as Lin Manliu, Eleven and others saw him, he became a crazy man wandering in the Valley of the Buried Swords, a walking corpse...
After listening to the words of the mountain master, all the old members of the Si family present covered their faces and wept.
When they knew that the mountain master was still alive, they were extremely happy. But seeing the mountain master's current appearance and learning about his tragic past, who could be happy?
Eleven looked at the tragic situation of her father in front of her. Even though her eyes were red, she did not shed tears. She just held her hands tightly in her knees.
There was only a firm expression on her pale face. She couldn't show her weakness in front of everyone at this moment.
Lin Manliu looked at his master's face and said loudly: "Just leave the follow-up to Manliu!"
The woman in black nodded, and the boy in short shirt walked towards Si Yan.
Lin Man Liuyan said: "According to what the senior said before, someone wanted to harm Zhujianfeng as early as the second year of Shengyang..."
Si Yan nodded slightly and said: "That's right, and even if I fall into unconsciousness later, I can still feel who I have contacted and what I have done... I have not seen any Sword Forging Peak disciples here, including Uncle Qiao. ..."
The meaning of this mountain master of Zhujian Peak is very clear.
From the young man's previous words, he learned of his suspicions about the disciples of Buried Sword Valley, including Qiao Bo, so he could only explain himself to excuse the young man's suspicions.
"Then how can senior ensure that those who harmed you can close the eyes and ears of the disciples of the Buried Sword Valley and move freely in the valley?"
"I still need to check this with Uncle Qiao later, but I can be sure that it was definitely not the work of the people from Sword Forging Peak and Sword Burying Valley..."
Lin Manliu did not continue to talk, and asked directly: "Why?"
Si Yan laughed miserably: "When I was at Sword Making Peak in the past, even though there were many disciples in both places, I could still remember all their names and appearances in my heart..."
Brother Wang also responded: "Yes, the mountain master was able to memorize all the disciples in the sect and the swords hidden in the sword house at a young age!"
When the boy in short shirt heard this, he could only clasp his fists and say: "My junior's words are wrong, clasp your fists..."
Si Yan said: "It doesn't matter, little friend, just keep talking!"
As he spoke, he glanced slightly at Eleven behind the boy. The woman in black noticed this and lightly smoothed her hair from her temples.
"During the training, the disciples I accepted..."
The masked man nodded with satisfaction and looked at Lin Manliu again.
The young man in a short shirt said: "When we were in Yuezhou, we received news about the sword appreciation accident. In the third month before the sword appreciation meeting, Xun Hanshan made some moves..."
The authenticity of the news at that time was also confirmed during the subsequent battle with the enemy to find Hanshan.
The master of Xunhan Mountain, Tu Dou, or some of the elders in Xunhan Mountain were all involved in the murder of Sword-making Peak.
Lin Manliu also informed Si Yan of the Xun Hanshan conspiracy and the subsequent results.
The masked man shook his head and sighed: "If this is the case, you really shouldn't continue to investigate... and you shouldn't come looking for me..."
The boy in a short shirt was not surprised by Si Yan's reaction.
Because from his previous memories, Lin Manliu had vaguely realized that the person who murdered him had no direct relationship with Xunhanshan.
Even the goals they seek are different...
The people who are chasing Si Yan should want the Zhujian Peak to be in chaos, only destroy its foundation, and let the big tree fall everywhere.
The person who planned the unexpected sword appreciation was to let the four swords wander into the rivers and lakes, causing competition in the rivers and lakes and leading to chaos in the Southland.
However, there is a sense that the two have reached the same destination by different paths, because the biggest beneficiaries are all pointing in the same direction.
Whether it is the Tue Evil Sect or the driving force behind Que Xie, they are all contributing to this result.
After Si Yan listened, he was silent for a long time, and finally looked at everyone.
"When things have reached this point, the fact that I am not dead will only bring more changes to Sword-Forging Peak. The matter of seeking confirmation from Qiao Bo can only be postponed..."
Lin Manliu nodded and said: "Indeed, if those who are interested know that the senior is awake, they will only speed up the completion of the unfinished things before!"
Brother Wang who was on the side said: "We are also hiding here, at least we can protect the mountain master first? Then we will take the mountain master to escape from this place secretly?"
This idea was rejected by Si Yan as soon as he said it.
"The disciples stationed outside are all suspicious of the situation in the valley. It will always attract the attention of those people. I can't leave... You should leave as soon as possible!"
Lin Man said in six words: "There are more than just seniors in the valley..."
Si Yan asked aloud: "What do you mean, little friend?"
The young man in a short shirt turned to look at his master and said, "I wonder if my disciple's guess is correct. The second volume does not have book annotations, but these abandoned swords in the valley and the sword power of the Forged Sword Peak?"
The woman in black heard this and smiled.
Si Yan also laughed, nodded at eleven, and whispered softly: "Our little Manliu is smart!"
The reason why the young man thinks so is that he can be sure that both the master and the old liar must have seen the so-called "Hunyuan Weapon Book Volume 2".
But the old liar was obviously not familiar with this place. Even if a master dictated the contents to him, he would not be like the situation in the main hall that day, without any regard for the safety of the scroll.
That only proves that this volume is not an actual book, but the abandoned sword buried in the Sword Valley, as well as the sword moves that every disciple of Sword Making Peak has learned.
Lin Manliu said: "In the future, we may need to grievance our seniors and stay in the valley for some time. We can release the news, take out the second volume from the Buried Sword Valley, and prepare to stay here for some time..."
Eleven answered and said: "Then when Feng Bai and the others return from southern Xinjiang, they will meet us!"
The master only said half of what he said, and the rest was naturally left to the disciples.
Lin Manliu continued to speak: "I think the Taxuehou still needs to send someone to accompany him. Then when he returns to Hangzhou, no one will intrude..."
Eleven spoke again: "There is no need to worry about what Tuxue Hou feels. If we want to establish contact with Yijian Villa in the future, he will have to accompany us on our journey!"
Seeing the master and apprentice singing in harmony, everyone in the Si family's old subordinates, including Si Yan, burst into laughter.
Si Yan asked, "Did you all learn from that yellow-haired boy?"
As soon as these words came out, the woman in black stopped talking and looked away, as if she was angry?
