Ice and Fire Island is located in the North Pole. With the approximate location, Song Xing took a boat to go to sea.
The current keeps heading north, carrying ships northward day and night.
At night, the North Star always shines in front of the bow of the ship, and the sun always rises on the starboard side and sets on the port side. For more than ten consecutive days, the wind direction and water flow remain unchanged, and the ship's movement remains unchanged.
Xie Xun and the others didn't know why they drifted so far along the ocean currents. No wonder they couldn't return to the Central Plains for ten years.
This time, they went to Binghuo Island to look for Xie Xun. In addition to Song Xing himself, there were also Zhang Cuishan, his wife and Zhang Wuji.
Xie Xun had a miserable life and rarely trusted people. If Song Xing went there alone, he would probably rather die than hand over the dragon-slaying knife.
The trip went smoothly, and the ship encountered no setbacks along the way. After a period of sailing, it arrived at Binghuo Island smoothly.
The western part of the island is full of sharp and rugged peaks, with strange shapes and indescribable shapes.
To the east of the island is an endless plain, where volcanic ash pours into the sea and piles up year by year.
Although this place is close to the North Pole, due to the everlasting volcanoes, the climate on the island is similar to that of Changbai Mountain. The high mountains and steep peaks are covered with ice and snow, but the plains and wilderness are extremely green, with pines and cypresses that are unusually tall and strange. Flowers and trees are all found in the middle land.
A group of sika deer were grazing on the plains. Looking around, except for the scary volcano, the surroundings were peaceful and there was absolutely nothing scary about them.
The four of them went to the island. Apart from the low hills and tall trees, there were only green grass and strange flowers along the way.
In the grass, some unnamed big birds and small beasts occasionally startled, but they seemed harmless to people.
The fiery red lava flowing westward in the distance is a scene familiar to Zhang Cuishan and the others.
Not far away, they saw a huge cave with a large number of man-made traces around it. It was the cave where they lived in seclusion.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, a tall man walked out of the cave, it was Xie Xun who was blind.
"Brother!"
"Father!"
Hearing Zhang Cuishan's voice, Xie Xun was immediately surprised: "Fifth brother, fifth sister, Wuji, why are you back?"
Zhang Cuishan rushed forward and supported Xie Xun.
"Has the wind direction changed?" Xie Xun asked repeatedly.
Zhang Cuishan said: "No, we have returned to the Central Plains. We came back to see Big Brother this time because of another matter."
Xie Xun listened carefully, and then he realized that there was a fifth person breathing present, and he was suddenly shocked: "Fifth brother, who else is here with you?"
Song Xing had fought against Xie Xun before and was no stranger to him. When he stepped forward to speak, Xie Xun also remembered Song Xing, who was born in Kongtong on Panshan Island.
After ten years of acquaintance, Xie Xun has long been familiar with Zhang Cuishan's personality and knows that he will never reveal his whereabouts unless something big happens.
"Let's sit down and talk first."
After a few people sat down, Zhang Cuishan hesitated for a moment and recounted the many deeds that happened after he returned to China. Song Xing added from time to time beside him.
Only then did Xie Xun realize that in the ten years since he left Middle-earth, the Central Plains martial arts world had undergone such earth-shaking changes.
"So you are here just for the dragon-slaying knife." Xie Xun understood.
After ten years on Binghuo Island, Xie Xun had already given up on the dragon-slaying knife.
After studying it for ten years, I found that there was nothing unusual about this knife except that it was sharp and strong. I had long since given up my desire for revenge and was ready to die on the island.
"Brother Xie has been searching for the secret of the Dragon Sword for ten years, but he has actually been searching in the wrong direction."
Song Xing looked at the dragon-slaying knife in Xie Xun's hand. The knife was lying quietly in Xie Xun's hand, as if it were the same as what he had seen on Wangpanshan Island ten years ago. There was no trace of anything strange at all.
"Does Brother Song know the secret of this dragon-slaying knife?" Xie Xun raised his head and looked in the direction of Song Xing.
He wanted to grab the dragon-slaying knife even if he wanted to offend Yin Tianzheng, but now he realized that he had wasted ten years and gained nothing.
"Just because if you want to decipher the secret of the Dragon-Slaying Sword, you need to obtain the Yitian Sword. Only one sword and one sword can solve the mystery of the sword."
Zhang Cuishan was surprised: "Could it be that the Yitian Sword is the sword that Master snatched from the Emei Sect?"
Song Xing nodded: "That's right. When Xiangyang City was in danger, Guo Jing and Huang Rong knew that Xiangyang City could not be defended. They decided to die to serve the country, knowing that it was impossible to do, but it would be a pity if Guo Jing's unique skills were lost because of this. , and even if the Mongols occupied the Central Plains for a while, they would not be able to last long. In the future, expelling the Mongols and restoring the mountains and rivers of the Han family would require the use of military skills and martial arts. So Guo Jing and Huang Rong hired expert craftsmen to send the Condor Hero Yang Guo to The dark iron heavy sword given to Guo Xiang was melted, and combined with Western fine gold, it was made into a dragon-slaying sword and a heaven-relying sword."
Xie Xun and Zhang Cuishan listened attentively as Song Xing talked about allusions from decades ago.
"So the secret of this dragon-slaying knife is Guo Jing's lifelong martial arts?" Yin Susu reacted very quickly and asked immediately.
"The secrets in the Yitian Sword are the Nine Yin Manual, a peerless martial arts book, and the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Slaying Master, which Guo Jing became famous for at that time. The Dragon Slaying Sword contains the "Martial Arts" written by Marshal Yue Feiyue of the Southern Song Dynasty. "Mu's suicide note", but what's hidden in the sword is a black iron piece, and the black iron piece indicates the location and map of the hidden treasure."
Song Xing looked at Xie Xun's dull face, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes: "So Master Kong Jian may have made a mistake. If Brother Xie wants revenge, he should grab the Yitian Sword instead of the Dragon Slaying Sword."
"Nine Yin Manual, Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon, Wu Mu's suicide note, I see, this is the secret of the Dragon Slaying Sword." Xie Xun sat there and muttered to himself as if he was stupid.
It turns out that even if he cracked the secret of the Dragon Sword over the years, all he got was a military manual, which would not help him in his revenge at all.
Now that he has wasted ten years and is blind again, even if Cheng Kun appears in front of him, can he still take revenge?
Xie Xun's face was slumped, and he said with a sad smile: "This is fate. The thief God always makes things difficult for me. It was like this ten years ago, and it will be like this ten years from now, hahaha.
Song Xing sighed when he saw Xie Xun's appearance, and continued: "In order to take revenge, you killed innocent people indiscriminately and committed many murders in the world. When you return to the Central Plains, someone will naturally come to you to collect these crimes. For Brother Zhang’s sake, give me the dragon-slaying knife, and I can help you find Cheng Kun, and even help you kill him.”
Xie Xun suddenly raised his head: "Do you know where Cheng Kun is?"
He had been searching for thirteen years but could not find Cheng Kun's whereabouts. In addition, practicing the Seven Injury Fist had injured his heart, so that his mind was often crazy, and he committed countless murders in the world.
But even so, he did not lead to Cheng Kun's whereabouts.
Song Xing said: "Actually, Cheng Kun has been hiding in the Shaolin Temple. He has been secretly stirring up dissension in the world all these years in order to cause chaos in the world. Even the murder of your whole family was part of his plan."
Zhang Cuishan frowned: "Why did it cause chaos in the world?"
When he learned about the Xie family tragedy from Xie Xun, he originally thought it was Cheng Kun who had sex after drinking. But now he learned from Song Xing that it was a deliberate act, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Even Xie Xun was horrified: "What did you say?"
Song Xing said: "You heard it right. Cheng Kun had bad intentions when he accepted you as his disciple. He had a grudge against Yang Dingtian, the leader of the Ming Cult. He killed your whole family just to make you go crazy and provoke a struggle between the world and the Ming Cult. "
"His alias is Yuan Zhen, and he is hiding in the Shaolin Temple. When necessary, he can instigate the six major sects to attack Mingjiao, so naturally you can't find him."
Zhang Cuishan said in surprise: "But the Shaolin Temple has been destroyed in the hands of monsters. So, brother's revenge has been avenged?"
Song Xing shook his head: "It's not that simple. The Shaolin Temple was destroyed in the hands of Taoist Baishu. Taoist Baishu accepted three disciples. In addition to the two elders Xuan Ming, the third disciple was Cheng Kun. When Taoist Baishu destroyed Shaolin, it is estimated that among them Cheng Kun also deserves credit."
