All the houses in the sword tomb had residents, so Lin Xiao had to give up his own house, allowing Gu Xiaotian and others to squeeze into one room.
Qu Xiaohan entered the house, looked at the swords on the wall, and secretly marveled. He also said that these swords were all famous magical weapons. It turned out that they had disappeared in the world, or were in the hands of some hidden master. Unexpectedly, they were all within the sword tomb.
Lin Xiao explained with a smile: "These swords are basically all left by people who had the chance to enter the sword tomb to seek opportunities."
Gu Xiaotian asked: "You haven't found the opportunity, so you still want to keep the sword?"
Lin Xiao shook his head and said that there was no such rule in Jianzhong.
Whether to keep the sword or not is up to one's own will, and he will not force it.
It's just that when those who were destined to leave, they all felt that they had no destiny to do the sword in this life, and keeping the sword was a burden. It was better to take advantage of this time to seek other ways of war.
Lin Xiao yelled, "You stay in the oasis for three days. Within three days, I will think clearly about whether to let you enter the dense forest."
In Lin Xiao's eyes, he had seen too many people with strong realms and powerful swordsmanship who gave up on swordsmanship because they returned without success after entering the dense forest.
Since these people walked out of the Sword Tomb, there has been no news in the world.
Maybe he went into seclusion, maybe he sought another way of fighting, or maybe he lost his sword and died at the hands of his enemy.
All possible.
Therefore, Lin Xiao also had some selfish motives of his own. If Gu Xiaotian was not that person, he did not want to watch Gu Xiaotian give up the way of swordsmanship.
In the sword tomb, he has always been with famous swords. He has already semi-understood the art of swordsmanship, and he still has the ability to recognize people.
If Gu Xiaotian had not entered the dense forest, he would have been able to accomplish something after leaving the Sword Tomb. But after entering the dense forest, he did not know whether he would have lost his original intention.
After Lin Xiao left, Gu Xiaotian also hesitated.
After all, what Lin Xiao said was so strange. Isn't it just an opportunity? If you can't get it, you won't get it. Why give up the sword?
Qu Xiaohan woke up and said: "Weapons are the best partners for warriors. If they cannot be integrated into one, they are just a weapon."
Zhao Qixing patted Gu Xiaotian on the shoulder and showed his mysterious smile, "You are chosen by God. That's right. Don't feel burdened."
Gu Xiaotian pursed his lips with a sad look on his face.
Zhao Qixing speaks mysteriously every time. Is it really God’s guidance, or is he lying?
Later, Lin Xiao sent someone to deliver food. It was the boy who greeted them at the door earlier.
The boy pointed at the food and said proudly, "We at Jianzhong grew these ourselves, and you can never eat them outside!"
After Gu Xiaotian thanked him, he inquired: "You have lived in Jianzhong for so many years, have you ever gone to the dense forest behind to play?"
The child was startled and quickly signaled Gu Xiaotian to shut up, "The dense forest behind is a forbidden area. The owner of the house has said that no one can get close to it."
Gu Xiaotian took out an enamel toy from his backpack, placed it in front of the child and said, "I just asked around, and I'll give this toy to you. Do you know who else besides the head of the family knows what's going on in that dense forest?"
The child looked at the enamel toy in front of him with a face full of love. He had been living in the Sword Tomb since he was a child and had never seen such a novelty before.
Gu Xiaotian is quite good at dealing with children.
Just give me some benefits. If that doesn’t work, then give me more benefits.
The child took the toy and said with a smile: "I'm just telling you secretly. You must never tell the owner of the house. Brother Lin Shan from the house next door went to the jungle to play when he was a child. At that time, we didn't dare to go in, so he went in. Out of fear We didn't dare to tell the elders because we were afraid. Brother Lin Shan didn't come back until evening. After that, he seemed to be a different person. In short, he always took us to catch grasshoppers before. After he came back, he just looked at a pile of swords. I I suspect there must be some wild beast in the dense forest that scared him."
From what the kid said, this brother Lin Shan might have really seen something in the dense forest.
one
People's personalities don't change so quickly.
What's more, the brother Linshan mentioned by the children is only a little older than them, and it is even more impossible for children's habits to change so quickly.
After asking Xiaotong where Lin Shan looked at the sword, Gu Xiaotian decided to find out.
...
The entire Sword Tomb is not big, so it is easy to find Lin Shan.
Next to a pile of sword graves, I saw a boy slightly older than a child, silently staring at the pile of sword graves.
Gu Xiaotian walked into the sword grave. Lin Shan looked back and said nothing, then turned his head and continued to stare at the sword grave.
Gu Xiaotian murmured: "These swords are all dead."
Lin Shan shook his head, "He's not dead, he just doesn't have the sword power he used to have."
Gu Xiaotian stared at Lin Shan. This child had a maturity that he should not have at his age.
Through perception, Lin Shan is just a warrior who has just entered the trial realm. Such a warrior may not even be able to do the most basic gathering and dispersing of Qi, so how can he sense the existence of the sword intention.
The two of them stared at the pile of sword graves together, silently talking to each other, and it was night.
Lin Shan slowly walked to the hilt of a sword, took out the sword, laid it down flat, and then began to dig and cover the sword with soil.
Gu Xiaotian didn't know Lin Shan's intention of doing this, but he also helped bury it.
After burying the sword, Lin Shan just whispered: "Thank you."
After that, Lin Shan turned around and went home.
Gu Xiaotian shook his head and called him a weird kid. Just now he saw Lin Shan staring at the sword grave seriously, so he started staring at it, but he really didn't understand what was so interesting about a pile of swords that were about to die.
Most of these swords have been damaged or have been abandoned, and even the casual cultivators look down upon them.
Lin Shan just buried one sword and ignored the rest.
In order to find out what Lin Shan was looking at, Gu Xiaotian decided to accompany Lin Shan to stare at the sword for the next two days, and then ask some questions about the dense forest.
After all, Lin Shan only started to stare at the sword after entering the dense forest. Maybe Lin Shan got some opportunities in the dense forest.
On the second day, Gu Xiaotian arrived earlier than Lin Shan. Seeing that no one came, he sat on the ground, took out the buns in his arms, and looked at the pile of discarded swords while eating.
As soon as he swallowed his last mouthful, Lin Shan came from outside.
Lin Shan was not surprised to see Gu Xiaotian here again, as if he had been sure that Gu Xiaotian would come, but his attitude was better this time. After taking the initiative to say hello to Gu Xiaotian, he was gone speech.
In the middle of the process, Gu Xiaotian really couldn't sit still. After all, he kept staring at the sword without saying anything, which was inevitably a bit dry.
Whenever Gu Xiaotian wants to open his mouth, Lin Shan can always interrupt him first and say: "Don't talk, the sword will hear it."
Gu Xiaotian ate and stared at it all morning, and his stomach growled with hunger.
Gu Xiaotian said with some embarrassment, "Sorry, I'm hungry."
Lin Shan took out a steamed bun from his pocket, tore half of it and gave it to Gu Xiaotian, and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, it's human nature to be hungry."
After Gu Xiaotian took the steamed bun, he joked: "You seem to be very mature, like a little adult. You must be able to chat with Yao Yao."
After all, Yao Yao's character is also a bit like that of an adult, but compared to Lin Shan, Yao Yao has a little more arrogance unique to children.
Lin Shan looked at Gu Xiaotian and said exactly the same thing as Lin Xiao.
"The sword is excellent, but the mind is inferior."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Xiaotian couldn't help but be surprised.
Gu Xiaotian is not surprised that Lin Xiao can say these words. After all, he is the head of the Lin family in Sword Tomb. His level is naturally much higher than that of Gu Xiaotian, so it is easy to see through Gu Xiaotian's sword intention and mind. matter.
But Lin Shan is just a child, and his realm is only the trial realm. How did he see through it?
Lin Shan seemed to know Gu Xiaotian's doubts and pointed
The pile of swords pointed to his ears again, "The swords told me."
Seeing what Lin Shan said was mysterious, Gu Xiaotian asked more: "Then do you know what is hidden in that dense forest?"
After hearing this, Lin Shan looked calm, not at all as panicked as the boy who delivered the meal before.
He just said mysteriously: "I can't say, but the sword will tell you."
In short, no matter what Gu Xiaotian asked, whenever he asked a key question, Lin Shan would always tell him the sword skills to deal with him. Over time, Gu Xiaotian also asked for boredom.
He has been using the sword for so long, and he only knows that the sword has true energy, but he has never heard that the sword can make a sound.
After looking at the sword grave for another whole day, Lin Shan sighed, walked to the hilt of a sword, pressed it down gently, and finally turned around and left.
Gu Xiaotian returned to the house, and Zhao Qixing and others had just come back. They did not come here to seek opportunities, but they just thought the environment here was good. It happened that there was a food delivery boy guiding them, and they took them to play in the Sword Tomb and experience it. Get to know nature.
Zhao Qixing and the others had a good time, but Gu Xiaotian was a little unhappy.
Zhao Qixing drank a bowl of water, said a few words to the delivery boy, and then turned around and asked, "I've seen you unhappy since you first entered the house. Did you hit a wall with Lin Shan?" qδ
Gu Xiaotian nodded and stared at Zhao Qixing.
Isn't this guy good at math? Let's see if he can figure out anything.
Zhao Qixing smoothed his sleeves and said with a smile: "Normally, I have indeed reached the first level of Linshan, but as the old saying goes, the secret must not be leaked."
Gu Xiaotian complained, "It's nothing if you say it."
I really don’t know what Zhao Qixing cannot say about the secret that he keeps saying cannot be revealed.
Could it be that something has been dropped on him, so that if he speaks, lightning will strike him to death?
Zhao Qixing chuckled.
There are some things that he really can't say because of his difficulties.
Gu Xiaotian cursed a few times: a dog can't change its habit of eating shit, and he was born to be a Taoist priest who deceived people.
However, he was also quite helpless.
Not to mention what Lin Xiao was thinking, the key point is that since entering the sword tomb, he has only done one thing, watching swords with Lin Shan.
Just looking at the sword is all, mainly because Gu Xiaotian doesn't see any significance in it, and looking at the sword is quite boring.
The most important thing is Lin Shan's character. If Gu Xiaotian doesn't take the initiative to speak, Lin Shan can really look at a pile of sword graves from day to night without saying a word. When he gets tired, he gets up and walks around twice, and then continues. look.
I don’t know what secrets are hidden in these sword graves.
Zhao Qi was walking aside and suddenly woke up Gu Xiaotian with a word.
"Why don't you ask why he is looking at these swords?"
