Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

Chapter 37: Xiangxi Initial

"Tong." Opening the door, Shen Ye saw several people standing in the room, and they all stood up and bowed in salute. Apart from Tong, the priests Huayue, Fengya, and Yufeng also arrived.

Huayue has long hair like ink, her gentle and decent appearance remains the same as before, and Fengya also has the rebellious appearance in her memory, but Gu Pan seems to be a little more gentle. I just feel that the other party seems to have calmed down a lot.

There is another one that I have never seen before. That person is tall and has a slightly rough facial features, but since he is a priest, maybe it is the former Taiyin priest—Ming Chuan?

Xie Yi stood silently behind Shen Ye, just like before.He looked at the crowd, except for the clothes, their faces had not changed in any way. Standing behind the master, Xie Yi had the illusion that he had suddenly returned to Liuyue City in the past.

[After so many years, except for the dream, I was never able to go back. 】When I was Xie Yan, the words of regret that I couldn't let go of were still in my ears, but this time, it was finally not a dream. Xie Yi sighed, and looked at Shen Ye with tenderness and reverence.

How fortunate to stand behind Master once again.

"It's all here?" Shen Ye looked around for a week. He was planning to call a special meeting, but it seems that there is no need for it. "It just so happens that I have something to announce."

Under the slightly curious gazes of the priests except for Tong Tong, Shen Ye took a step sideways to reveal Xie Yi: "He is my disciple, Xie Yi, the priest who will break the army in the future," Shen Ye's tone revealed Irresistible majesty, "Just remember."

Without giving anyone a chance to question, Shen Ye just announced a result, an announcement of Xie Yi's return to him, that's all.

Doubt and surprise flashed across the eyes of Feng Ya and the others, the high priest's disciple?Why have you never seen it?But they never commented on Shen Ye's decision, so they still said respectfully: "Yes." When they raised their heads, they saw the new army priest smiling calmly and elegantly, standing beside the unsmiling Shen Ye, unexpectedly There is a different kind of momentum - it is the sharp wisdom and stability after going through thousands of situations and vicissitudes of life, and every move is hard to ignore.

Xie Yi just smiled at everyone, then retreated behind Shen Ye, as for Le Wuyi and the others, they stood aside and did not speak.

Shen Ye nodded, and said to Tong directly, "Tong, I heard Le Wuyi say that you have a result?"

Tong Hearing this, he just spread the parchment in his hand on the table—it was a map, the surface was worn out, but the lines that had obviously been reset brought back the original appearance, only the messy rivers and mountains formed it. None of the topography is similar to the current topography.

Shen Ye just glanced at the messy map: "I just want the result."

Hitomi didn't care, just took out another drawing: "Then let's make a long story short, after processing, we can roughly know where it is."

The blueprints that were unfolded were still those rivers with chaotic lines, and everyone saw the expressions of "you got it wrong".

Shen Ye noticed the difference: "Xiangxi?"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, and then went to look at the map, but found some words in an inconspicuous place, "Youshui? Where is that?"

It turns out that although the topographic map has not changed in any way, some annotations have been filled in, and the red words "Youshui" and "Yuanjiang" are vividly displayed on the paper, so the names of the rivers and mountains are revealed.

Tong glanced at Feng Ya: "You River is a tributary of Yuan River, a river in western Hunan."

"This is Yunnan?" Mingchuan said in surprise, "I have been to Yunnan, but I have never seen this place before."

Tong Tong said lightly, "If it's just a tiny corner in the northwest of Yunnan, can you recognize it?"

Ming Chuan was speechless.

Shen Ye ignored the others, he looked at Tong: "Are you sure it's here?"

Tong Tong said: "In addition to Xiangxi, you can also try to search in the sea."

That's what it means to be sure.

Shen Ye nodded in satisfaction, and he looked at the crowd: "That's confirmed, we will set off soon."

"Yes--!"

**********

A gurgling brook flows slowly in front of the gate, clear as a mirror, and the gatehouses are erected one after another, and the bamboo houses exude a fragrance of bamboo.This is a settlement in western Hunan. Bamboo houses are built along the mountain in a disorderly but well-proportioned arrangement. One after another, they wind up like snakes. Silk ribbons of various colors flutter in the wind. Swinging, tinkling, with a unique ethnic style.

Xie Yi sat in front of the bamboo window of an inconspicuous bamboo house, staring at the distant mountains in a daze.

Steady footsteps came from behind him, Xie Yi turned his head and said with a slight smile, "Master."

It was Shen Ye who came upstairs behind him, and he approached step by step: "What are you thinking?"

Xie Yi smiled and shook his head: "Nothing."

Shen Ye understood, "Are you thinking about the key?"

Xie Yi didn't feel the embarrassment of being exposed: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Master."

Shen Ye just walked to Xie Yi's side, and then pulled him over: "There's nothing to worry about, there will always be a day when you find it."

"Yes." Xie Yi said after a slight pause, "Actually, I have always wanted to ask Master."

"What's the matter?"

"These six keys, why do we in the Lieshan tribe have no news until now?" These days, Xie Yi has roughly understood all the situations, for example, although Liuyue City collapsed, there is still a lot of ruins On the top of the snow-capped mountain, for example, in the ruins there is the key to saving the Lieshan tribe, or for example, the six keys are the only way to open the snow-capped mountain.

But, where is the snow mountain?Why did Floating Moon City collapse in that place?As for the so-called six keys, since the predecessors have already found the clues, why not look for them and open the door of the snow mountain?Thinking about these details one by one, I feel that there is something unpredictable and weird in them.

Haven't other keys been found for thousands of years?How ridiculous.

Shen Ye said: "It's destiny, at least they found the snow mountain."

Generations of high priests kept the information they got, the most valuable being the existence of the snow mountain and the key, but the key was known by chance.

But it turned out that there were not only six keys, the first one had already been inlaid where it should have been, but the warning left on the scroll was also very noticeable.

[Before collecting all the keys, you can no longer go to the snow mountain. I hope that future generations will treat it with caution, and you must not make unnecessary sacrifices. ] And when several high priests did not believe in evil and did the opposite, but left letters of regret, everyone finally stopped going one step further.

The unnecessary sacrifice is too unworthy. In this case, I searched for the six keys according to the information on the scroll. However, the Lieshan tribe has spent a lot of manpower and material resources for thousands of years, but there is no news at all. I have to say, Fate tricks people.

"And now, do you finally have a clue..." Compared to those thousands of years, how lucky they are, they have already got a handful in such a short period of time, thinking of the opened wooden brocade that was placed in the silence The box, and the glass-shaped key, Xie Yi sighed a little.

Shen Ye suddenly laughed out loud, "I thought it had something to do with you."

"Master?" Xie Yi asked suspiciously.

It was rare for Shen Ye to have a hint of ridicule: "Since you came back, our luck has improved a lot, hasn't it?"

The first one is above the tomb of the Goddess where Xie Yi is, and the news about the second key was also obtained by Xie Yi after returning to the Lieshan tribe. Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is a feeling of destiny in the dark.

Xie Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then said helplessly, "Master, this is not funny at all."

Shen Ye smoothed a strand of hair on Xie Yi's forehead: "So don't think too much, there will always be results."

Xie Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes."

On one side, Shen Ye and Xie Yixu were talking, while on the other side, Le Wuyi, who was kicked out of the door by Tai Shifu, was also in high spirits: "Yi Ze, Yi Ze, do you think that because Master is back, our Your luck has improved?" He said to Xia Yi beside him, "Even if the key you got in that ancient Dian is related to Master, so, it really is because of Master's return, right?"

I have to say that Shen Ye and Le Wuyi are somewhat similar at certain times, such similar words are spoken almost at the same time, if there is no similarity or tacit understanding, who will believe it?

Facing Le Wuyi with a happy face, Xia Yi just smiled and nodded: "Thank you, senior, for suffering for so many years, it should be very happy."

Le Wuyi nodded at first, but then he was puzzled: "Yi Ze, why did you call Master 'Xie Senior'?" He didn't care about it before, but when he found that Xia Yi had no intention of changing his words, Le Wuyi Wu Yi felt a little puzzled, this kind of title of "senior" sounds really weird at the moment.

Xia Yi just smiled and said, "Senior Xie also likes this title very much."

As soon as he heard that Master liked it, Le Wuyi threw away all doubts: "Really? Master also likes it?"

Xia Yi nodded.

"Oh, then there's no problem, as long as the master likes it." Le Wuyi's typical master is the biggest, and with a master, he forgets to love others (fog).

Xia Yi shook his head helplessly, maybe he could really try to mention it once, he would be jealous too?

But for Xie Yi, Xia Yi also has a special feeling, that feeling is between the respect for the teacher and the love for the friend, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is also a teacher and a friend.

As early as when he was alone with Le Wuyi, he asked all the questions he wanted to ask, about how Xie Yi appeared, Xie Yi's previous identity, etc., but Le Wuyi's answer could not provide any effective information—except The unsearchable dream he talked about.

I don't know if it was affected by the dream that Le Wuyi said. Just a few days ago, Xia Yi also had a similar dream, but he was a bystander, watching Le Wuyi and Xie Yi. The two mentored each other until Xie Yi saved them all by dying, and Xie Yi reappeared in the tomb somewhere, as if he had really died.

"Senior Xie" is the way he called each other in the dream, so when he met Xie Yi who woke up for the first time, he couldn't help calling him that, but Xie Yi didn't feel surprised at the time, but had some memories ?

According to this, Xia Yi was relieved of Xie Yi's existence, no, it should be said that he woke up from that dream, and Xia Yi unconsciously respected Xie Yi.

"But Yi Ze..." Le Wuyi said suddenly.

"what happened?"

"Great Master asked us to come out to find out the news, but there is nothing strange about our journey, right?"

"Indeed." There was nothing unusual about this journey, but maybe it had something to do with them not talking to anyone?

"Do you think Grand Master sent us out on purpose?" Le Wuyi suddenly hit the point.

It must be, but Xia Yi didn't say it.

"Alas..." Le Wuyi sighed loudly, "I really want to go back." Here, going back naturally refers to the gatehouse where the four of them temporarily stayed.

Xia Yi smiled and didn't speak yet, but suddenly heard a rush of "tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk quick An old woman of stature was sitting in the middle of the road, dust surrounded her, but she couldn't attract any attention from the other party. A shiny silver kitchen knife in her hand was fiercely cutting the chopping board that had nothing on it.

Cutting a chopping board with nothing in the middle of the traffic?Xia Yi and Le Wuyi looked at each other, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Tut Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk" the old woman just lowered her head and kept chopping, the veins in her hands were bruised, and the layers of dust were picked up by her, which made her already gray hair even more exaggerated. messy.That ruthless appearance, as if there is something on the empty chopping board, it must be chopped to pieces.

Perhaps the eyes of the two were too revealing, the old woman raised her head suddenly, and grinned when she saw the two, then ignored them, lowered her head and chopped more fiercely.

"Tuk tuk tuk... tuk tuk tuk"
