Chapter 37723774【A step too late】
“Brother Peng, we are indeed going around in a circle, do you have a way to solve it?” Qingqing saw that they were indeed going around in a circle, and couldn’t help but look at Xiang Nandao in surprise.
"Don't worry, after walking around for two times, I have roughly figured out the details of this formation." Xiang Nan nodded.
This formation is called the Seven-Star Gongbei Formation, and it is actually not difficult to break. It's just that in the world of "Full Moon Scimitar", there are too few people who are proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia, so no one can crack this formation.
Of course it’s not their fault. Most of the people in the martial arts world are students who specialize in physical education. It is already difficult to practice a martial arts well. It is difficult for them to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, arithmetic, tactics, and Qimen Dunjia.
There are very few people like Huang Yaoshi, Wu Yazi, and Su Xinghe who are versatile and can learn every subject well.
Moreover, Qi Men Dun Jia itself is also an extremely profound knowledge, and its subtleties and mysteries are even better than martial arts.
In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Ying Gu has studied hard for half her life and is known as the "magic fortune teller", but she has only scratched the surface of Qi Men Dun Jia.
Ordinary people may not be as smart as her, and their achievements are naturally more limited. It is normal that they cannot break the seven-star Gongbei Formation.
Fortunately, this formation is not dangerous. Because Xie Xiaofeng just wanted to retreat from the world, stay away from the conflicts of the world, and did not want to hurt others, so this formation would only make people get lost and not find the location of Yuanyue Villa.
And as long as no one comes in, you can easily walk out if you choose to go back. It can be seen that this formation is still very friendly.
Xiang Nan then took Qingqing off the path and walked straight into the forest based on what he had learned.
Because he knows that those paths are misleading, and if you keep walking along the paths, you will most likely go around in circles. There seems to be no road in the mountains and forests, but it is actually the right path.
…
The two of them were wandering around in the forest, seemingly bumping into each other like headless flies, but in fact, after a moment of burning incense, Qingqing's eyes suddenly opened up, and she saw a magnificent manor appear out of thin air, as if it had fallen from the sky. .
On the plaque hanging high in front of the manor, there are the four characters "Excalibur Villa".
“Sword Villa?! We finally found it!” Qingqing was excited when she saw this, “Brother Peng, you are so amazing!”
Xiang Nan nodded, led Qingqing to the door, and gently knocked on the door knocker.
A moment later, the door of the village opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties came out. He was stunned when he saw Xiang Nan and Qingqing, "Who are you? What do you want to do here?"
"Ding Peng, this is my wife Qingqing." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and said, "I came here today just to visit the sword **** Xie Xiaofeng."
"Sorry, Mr. Ding, you are three years late. Our master died three years ago." The middle-aged man sighed after hearing this.
"This..." Upon hearing this, Qingqing looked at Xiang Nan with concern.
He came to visit Xie Xiaofeng with such enthusiasm, but he didn't expect that Xie Xiaofeng died. How disappointed and annoyed he must be, which made her worried.
“Impossible.” Xiang Nan waved his hand, “Two months ago, a young man named Jing Wuming came to Shenjian Villa by mistake.
Not only did he meet Xie Xiaofeng, he also learned a style of Xie family swordsmanship. If you tell me now that he died three years ago, isn't it contradictory? "
"Jing Wuming did come to the Divine Sword Villa, but the person he fought with was not the sword **** Xie Xiaofeng himself, but only his sword slave." The middle-aged man explained.
"Sword slave?" Xiang Nan smiled, "Since you are a sword slave, how can you teach the Xie family's sword skills to outsiders?"
"This explanation is indeed perfect, but I still don't believe it." Xiang Nan waved his hands and smiled, "Because I can sense that Xie Xiaofeng must still be alive. This is the intuition of a top expert." "You think so, I There is nothing we can do." The middle-aged man sighed, "But you can come into the village and wait as long as you want."
"Thank you, uncle. What do you call me?" Xiang Nan cupped his hands and thanked me.
“My name is Xie Sheng, and I am the steward of the Xie family.” The middle-aged man introduced.
Xiang Nan nodded and walked into Shenjian Villa with Qingqing.
…
When you enter Shenjian Villa, you will see that the Villa is majestic and magnificent. It is indeed worthy of being a century-old family, and its appearance is quite impressive.
In particular, there is a plaque hanging high in the hall, with five characters "The Best Sword in the World" engraved on it. Although it has been aged for a long time, it is still golden and the handwriting is as clear as day.
Because these five characters are originally made of gold. More than two hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Xie family, Xie Tian, participated in the Huashan sword competition and defeated countless masters with his family's sword skills, and became famous in one fell swoop.
All the masters who were defeated by him were all convinced, and each donated one tael of gold to cast these five characters and dedicated them to Xie Tian, recognizing him as "the best sword in the world".
After Xie Tian passed away, the Xie family gradually fell into silence, and the reputation of "the best sword in the world" was no longer worthy of its name. But more than thirty years ago, Xie Xiaofeng emerged from the sky and once again revived the glory of Excalibur Villa with his invincible and glorious record.
The plaque of "The Best Sword in the World" also shines again.
Now that I see this plaque, Xiang Nan can't help but feel excited and fascinated. What an honor it is to be recognized as "the best sword in the world" by all the swordsmen in the world. It's really enviable.
“Thank you, Steward, where is the tomb of the Sword God?” He then asked, “I want to go and pay homage.”
"Please follow me." Xie Sheng nodded and led Xiang Nan and Qingqing through the hall and straight to the backyard.
After passing the hall, the further you go in, the more dilapidated the scene you see.
The first two courtyards are fairly clean and well maintained. But the further you go, the more dilapidated the manor becomes.
The courtyard was full of dead branches and leaves, and the rooms were covered with dust. It was a complete sign of desolation and decay.
“Brother Peng, this house is so quiet~” Qingqing felt a little creepy as she walked there.
Xiang Nan nodded.
This house is not only quiet, it is almost like a tomb.
Because apart from the three of them, there was almost no living person in the huge villa. Therefore, it appears eerie, cold, and lifeless.
All the way to the back garden, I saw a large tomb built in the garden. In front of the tomb stood a stone tablet with seven characters engraved on it, which was "The Tomb of the Sword God Xie Xiaofeng."
There is also the year of birth and death next to it, and it is true that he died three years ago.
"Brother Peng..." Qingqing was shocked when he saw it.
Previously, Xiang Nan said that Butler Xie was lying and that Xie Xiaofeng could not really be dead. Now that they have even seen Xie Xiaofeng's tomb, they have to believe it.
"Junior Ding Peng, pay homage to Senior Xie." Xiang Nan lifted his robe and knelt down, took off the full-moon scimitar, and solemnly placed it on the monument, "I hope Senior Xie is alive in heaven and can meet me in my dream tonight. "
When Xie Sheng saw the full-moon scimitar, his face was suddenly startled.
