The night before Xie Zhan and Long Qing'er parted, everyone in the Changsheng Alliance drank wine, sang and laughed, turning the farewell banquet into a reception banquet.
Long Qing'er's drinking capacity was as bad as ever. After drinking a little too much, she was sent back to the room by Ning Zanghua. On the contrary, Xie Zhan was surprisingly able to drink. After drinking, Guan Lingxiao's face turned pale and Xue Yan's face was like a heavy jujube. There is still no change in myself.
"Hiccup... ah... Brother Xian, you really can't get drunk after a thousand cups, hahaha..." Xue Yan swallowed his saliva and forced down the alcohol. He kept breathing heavily, and he didn't look like he was drunk. Feel good.
"Damn... I can't do it anymore. I'm going to go to the latrine." Guan Lingxiao slapped the table, stood up, and walked out tremblingly.
Xie Zhan gently supported Xue Yan and said with some helplessness: "Brother Xue, why don't we just come here today - our farewell party has been going on for three days, and my senior sister and I haven't been able to leave yet. There is a long way to go. Wait until we come back. We still have plenty of time.”
Xue Yan proposed to give Xie and Long a farewell party, but everyone was drunk every day, so it was delayed until now. He calmly thought for a while, and then nodded in agreement, but now he couldn't speak fluently. He said: "Come on, let's have one last drink. Let's wait for the young leader to come back."
Not long after, Guan Lingxiao walked in, holding on to the door frame. There was still a trace of wine and meat residue in the corner of his mouth. He wiped it with a handkerchief, and then sat down at the table: "Go on."
Xie Zhan smiled: "It's getting late, let's have one last drink, and then I'll take you back to your room."
Guan Lingxiao glanced at Xue Yan, who was already in a daze, nodded in agreement, and then the three of them knocked down the wine bowls and drank down the wine in one gulp.
Although Xie Zhan and Guan Lingxiao are not physically strong, they are martial arts practitioners after all, and their strength is not small. However, it is known that drunk people are much heavier than usual. In addition, Xue Yan is already fat, so It was a bit difficult for the two men to lift the unconscious Xue Yan, and they finally threw Xue Yan onto the bed. The two were already out of breath.
"Brother Xie, are you really not considering joining our Immortal Alliance?" Guan Lingxiao usually didn't show any pretense as a young alliance leader and sat down on the ground. "With your ability, you are quite capable of serving as the deputy to the leader of the Five Priests in our Eternal Life Alliance."
After living here for more than a month and defeating the Gao family together, Xie Zhan has become very familiar with everyone. Naturally, he is embarrassed and coldly refuses: "From the day I met Brother Xue, he tried his best to invite me and senior sister to become As a member of the Eternal Life Alliance, I also used many excuses to shirk it. In the final analysis, whether it is due to my sect or other reasons, it doesn’t matter. It’s just that Xie has a blood feud——”
Guan Lingxiao tapped his forehead lightly with the back of his hand and joked: "Isn't this also the excuse Brother Xie used to reject me?"
Xie Zhan shook his head: "I have been studying swordsmanship in Longshou Mountain for more than fifteen years, just so that one day I can find the thief who destroyed my whole family and kill him."
Xie Zhan's real name is Xie Gu. Thirty years ago, the year Xie Gu was born, the Xie family was still a wealthy family in Wengcheng. His father, Xie Siheng, was good at charity and was praised as "Master Xie" by the people of Wengcheng. This ancestor of the Xie family was an ordinary craftsman who made a living by doing some construction and carpentry work, but this ancestor of the Xie family was blessed by nature and accidentally obtained half of the "Luban Map of Heavenly Works". The Luban Tiangong Map is said to be divided into two parts. The first half contains the essence of civil engineering design, while the second half tells how to make weapons for killing people and siege the city. The ancestors of the Xie family got the first half. , so they made a fortune from this, and the Xie family also led a group of craftsmen to build houses and gardens for generations.
It's a pity that there is a saying that "every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade." This half of Luban's Tiangongtu created the prosperity of the Xie family, but also brought many disasters, and finally attracted the attention of a group of thieves - in order to get In this half of Lu Ban's Tiangong Tu, this group of thieves killed the entire Xie family, and set fire to the Xie family's mansion and burned the corpses. Only Xie Gu and his uncle, who were hiding in a secret passage, survived. His uncle also died of grief and anger not long after, and now only the twelve-year-old Xie Gu remained in the entire Xie family.
Before his death, his uncle told Xie Gu everything about the Xie family and Lu Ban's Tiangong Tu. After his uncle passed away, Xie Gu started his wandering life until he met the old Long Swordsman. After he learned that the old dragon swordsman's swordsmanship was the best in the world, he became his disciple. At first, the old dragon swordsman was not willing to accept him because the child was already fifteen years old and missed the golden age of learning martial arts. Secondly, his roots were His bone talent is too mediocre, and even if he spends his whole life, he will probably only be a third-rate person.
The old dragon swordsman refused to accept Xie Gu, so Xie Gu would stick to the wall of the courtyard every day to watch him teach his disciples to practice swordsmanship. After sunset, he found a branch to practice according to what he had written down during the day, until almost sunrise. Only then can I sleep for two or three hours and then continue to get up. When I'm thirsty, I drink the spring water in the mountain. When I'm hungry, I make a trap to catch some birds, rabbits, badgers and roast them to eat. I use the sky as my quilt and the earth as my bed. .
The rope cut the wood and the water dripped through the stone. The old dragon swordsman was finally moved by Xie Gu's sincerity, but he also confessed this cruel fact to Xie Gu - with your talent, even if you practice the swordsmanship of my Longshou Mountain sect, you may not be able to do it in the end. If you can only become a second-rate swordsman, you may not be able to fulfill your long-cherished wish of revenge in your lifetime.
In fact, the old dragon swordsman also had good intentions and hoped that he would stop the loss in time and retreat. However, Xie Gu lived up to his name and resolutely bowed to the old dragon swordsman three times and kowtowed as a master and disciple, and finally joined the Longshou Mountain sect. .
On the one hand, the old dragon swordsman hoped that Xie Gu would become a master of swordsmanship and his great revenge would be avenged. On the other hand, he was also afraid that he would be recognized again when he went down the mountain, so he changed his name and changed the word "Gu" in his name to "Gu". The word "cut".
Xie Zhan's talent is mediocre, and it is obvious to all the disciples and disciples of Longshou Mountain. Even the old Dragon Swordsman's friends and disciples can see that this child is really not suitable for martial arts. He even bluntly said that although this child has a strong mind, his talent is too ordinary, so it is difficult for him to become a great person.
But Xie Zhan used his actions to make everyone realize how much potential this ordinary young man had - from the day he started, he spent the longest time practicing swordsmanship every day among his fellow disciples. There has been no break for several years, and his progress is also obvious to all. Even the younger brother of the old dragon swordsman, the son of the "Sword Demon Jiang Chi" who "annihilated the sky with one sword" decades ago, the "little sword god" Jiang Yan, who is both talented and diligent, and whose strength is second only to the old dragon swordsman, also sighed. If I had been half as diligent as this kid back then, I would have taken the "little" word out of my title.
Today's Xie Zhan, even though he only has a nameless mortal sword in his hand, and even though he was born as a mere mortal, he still lives up to the word "Zhan" in his name.
If Pei Yuan and her husband Ning Jiyang go to Longshou Mountain again today, they will definitely be speechless in surprise - Longshou Mountain is named Longshou Mountain because the peak of the mountain looks like a flying dragon ascending to the sky, and now the dragon's head The summit of Shantou Peak can be seen from halfway up the other peaks - that peak has become a lifelike dragon's head, with dense scales and angry horns, chirping towards the sky.
How could heaven and earth shape the mountain into such a shape? Obviously...it is done by human power against nature.
Where does it come from? It is clear that man is better than nature. Listen to the cicadas and watch the snow at the third and fifth watch, cut the mountains and valleys to become a dragon!
Xie Zhanzhi cut out a dragon head mountain.
Perhaps because of drinking too much, perhaps because he has been suppressed for too long, or perhaps because he feels guilty for the Changsheng Alliance who warmly invited and entertained him, Xie Zhan briefly described his life to Guan Lingxiao - of course, about the Xie family's secret treasure "Lu Ban" He only briefly touched on the matter of "Tiangong Tu", but the focus was on his hard training for revenge.
Xie Zhan is not a boastful person, but it is precisely because he said in an extremely ordinary tone that he "cut a mountain to become a dragon" in order to practice swordsmanship that it is even more shocking, even for the young leader of the Changsheng Alliance - He considers himself to be a person with extraordinary diligence, otherwise he would not be able to instantly kill a light kung fu master like the Blood Bat King. However, he knows that he relies mostly on his talent. As for being able to carve the top of a mountain into the shape of a dragon like Xie Zhan— -He couldn't even think about it.
"It's in vain that I think I study hard and practice hard..." Guan Lingxiao looked a little embarrassed, "After hearing Brother Xie's words today, I really feel respected and ashamed."
Faced with the compliments of the young leader of the Eternal Life Alliance, Xie Zhan did not show the slightest hint of pride. He just sighed softly: "Brother Guan, that's a great compliment. It's just that Xie's sword practice is so bad. I don't know when I can find him again." The evil thief who killed my whole family.”
Guan Lingxiao took a deep breath, and his mind became much clearer: "Since these evil thieves are coming for half of the Lu Ban Tiangong Map passed down by your family, then we can guess whether they have obtained the second half. Do you want to piece together a complete heavenly map?"
"I've thought about it too, but who could kill such a person?" When mentioning this matter, Xie Zhan's usually calm mood was also a little confused: "The Xie Mansion was burned to the ground, and my uncle and I hid in I was able to escape through the secret passage. I guess the work plan that day was either stolen by thieves or burned..."
Guan Lingxiao glanced at Xie Zhan: "Brother Xie, you have lived in the mountains for a long time, so you probably don't know anything about the world. If you don't mind, then I may be able to show you a way."
Xie Zhan nodded slightly: "Brother Guan, please give me some advice."
"There are not many people who are famous for their machine skills in the world today, but there are only three families - Pan Liang, the master of machine skills. It is said that Master Yin Sandong, who majored in the imperial mausoleum, is a member of his sect; there are also those who are known as "Nine Attacks with Lu Ban The "New Mo" created by the descendants of "Mo Zhai" who is far away; and one of the nine major sects in the world who is famous for his three secrets of hidden weapons, traps, and poison..."
"There is a field full of flowers below, and Jinguan City among the Furong Mountains."
"If Brother Xie is interested, Ling Xiao is willing to accompany Brother Xie to Jinguan City, which is the closest to here. Perhaps we can learn more secrets about this matter from there." Guan Lingxiao looked at Xie Zhan, "Compared with authenticity, Between the hard-to-distinguish descendants of Mozi and Master Pan Liang, the dragon has never seen its end, I think Jinguancheng, who is the righteous master of the nine major sects, is more worthy of trust."
