Ye Qiu was startled himself.
He didn’t expect that just one sword qi would be so terrifying.
“This is really a great killing move. When dealing with enemies in the future, this sword move can be used as a trump card and will definitely give the enemy a fatal blow.”
After Ye Qiu’s joy, he sighed again.
“It’s a pity that the unreliable old thing Chang Mei isn’t here. Otherwise, I could test the power of this sword on him.”
“I wonder if I can beat him？”
Ye Qiu can’t wait to know now how big the gap is between himself and the top three masters on the Dragon Ranking？
After the stone wall cracked, a stone chamber appeared.
Ye Qiu walked in. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a square table made of green stone inside.
On the table, there was a wooden box.
Since the moment Ye Qiu saw the wooden box, his eyes have not moved away. His intuition told him that there must be a treasure in this wooden box.
He quickly stepped forward and came to the table, wiping the dust on the wooden box clean.
Only then did he discover that this wooden box was actually made of red sandalwood and was very precious.
The box was not locked and opened easily.
Suddenly, a scroll appeared in Ye Qiu’s sight.
Ye Qiu picked up the scroll and opened it, and found that there were dense words written on it. After reading for a while, he understood that this was a life story of a person, in other words, a resume.
Ye Qiu read aloud while looking at it：
“I was originally from a great family in the south of the Yangtze River. I liked reading when I was young, and later entered the prefectural school and passed the imperial examination. In my early years, I was a Confucian scholar, good at poetry and prose, and also good at riding and shooting In the third year of Hongwu. I participated in the examination but failed. The next year I passed the martial arts examination with the first-class result. Although I had the ambition to govern the world, I had been serving as a small official in the criminal department for a long time In a fit of anger resigned.
So, I abandoned my family and secluded myself in the mountains and forests.
“Suddenly one day, I met a strange person in the mountains, who taught me the secret books of Taoism, so I attained enlightenment and became a monk.
“The strange person also taught me a set of cursive script sword formula, and told me that there are a total of nine styles in the cursive script sword formula. If I understand one of them, I can roam the world freely. If I understand three of them, I can be invincible in the world. If I understand all nine of them, I can live forever, have the same lifespan as the sky, cut off the sun, moon and stars, and destroy the sea and the universe.”
“However, the strange person can only do one style.”
“I practiced for three years before I successfully cultivated the first style of the cursive script sword formula. In order to test the power of this sword, I traveled to famous mountains and great rivers and visited many masters to challenge them.”
“But, no one was my opponent.”
“So, I went to Wudang and challenged Zhang Zhenren.”
“However, Zhang Zhenren had already left Wudang to seek immortality and visit sages in the mundane world, like a dragon showing its head but not its tail. In desperation, I had to leave Wudang alone. This is a great pity in my life！”
“In the next twenty years, I traveled all over the world, looking for the last eight forms of the Grass Character Sword Technique, but finally returned without success.”
“In the next twenty years after that, I secluded myself to cultivate the art of talismans and spells, and left the Central Plains to go to the northwest desert.”
“Alas, the sky is endless, but human life has an end. Although I am invincible, I still cannot escape the fate of my lifespan coming to an end.”
“In the last three years of my life, I found a geomantic treasure land and built my own tomb.”
“Before the tomb was completed, mountain bandits arrived first. I didn’t want the sword to be stained with blood, so I used poisonous smoke to send them to the underworld, and then dug ninety-nine earth graves and buried them.”
“I left the Grass Character Sword Technique in the tomb for future generations of predestined people to obtain.”
“However, the Grass Character Sword Technique is extremely overbearing, and it is very easy to go berserk when practicing. For this reason, I specifically engraved sixteen words on the stone gate to warn future generations.”
To prevent villains from tomb raiding, I also specifically set up a Jiugong Bagua Formation in the peach blossom forest.
“That year in the Western Regions, by chance, I came across a withered vine called Blood Bodhi. I later transplanted it into the tomb. I don’t know if it can survive？ It is said that eating the Blood Bodhi fruit can increase ten years of skill, but whether it is true or not is unknown.”
“In addition, there are two precious treasures hidden in the place where my coffin is located, waiting for future generations of predestined people to obtain them.”
“Nameless True Man, last words！”
This is a last letter.
After Ye Qiu read it, all the doubts in his heart were resolved.
This place is the self-built tomb of the Nameless True Man.
The Jiugong Bagua Formation was left by the Nameless True Man to prevent villains from robbing tombs. The red fruit is the Blood Bodhi, and eating it can increase ten years of skill.
As for the ninety-nine graves, they are all buried with the corpses of bandits. Those bandits were poisoned to death by the Nameless True Man with poisonous smoke.
And the sixteen words on the stone gate were also left by the Nameless True Man to warn future generations to be careful of going crazy when practicing the Grass Script Sword Manual.
Ye Qiu was extremely surprised.
From the content of the last letter, it can be seen that this Nameless True Man should be a person in the early Ming Dynasty. He came from a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, and later passed the military examination. He can be described as both civil and military.
Because he was not reused by the court, he resigned and to retreat to the woods. One day, he accidentally met a strange person and obtained the Grass Script Sword Manual, and became a Taoist priest.
Later, he traveled to famous mountains and great rivers and challenged the masters of the world, but no one was his opponent.
Then, he went to Wudang Mountain to challenge Zhang Zhenren. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhenren went to seek immortality and visit Taoism, so he left in regret.
Later, the Nameless True Man practiced spells and traveled far to the northwest desert. When his life was coming to an end, he built a tomb here and left the Grass Script Sword Manual and treasures, waiting for those with predestined fate in the future to obtain them.
However, the Nameless True Man didn’t explain where that fire turtle came from？
Ye Qiu thought that the fire turtle mostly discovered the blood bodhi by accident, so it stayed under the deep pit and waited for the blood bodhi to mature.
Besides, Ye Qiu also obtained two important pieces of information from this suicide note.
First, it is the Grass Script Sword Manual.
The Grass Script Sword Manual has a total of nine forms, but both the Nameless True Man and the strange person who taught him the Grass Script Sword Manual only knew the first form, and the whereabouts of the remaining eight forms are unknown.
The Nameless True Man once traveled all over the world and searched for twenty years, but still didn’t find the remaining eight forms of the Grass Script Sword Manual.
Nameless senior, it took you three years to learn the first form of the Grass Script Sword Manual, and I learned it in less than half an hour. If you know about it under the spring, will you be so angry that you climb up and hit me？
Ye Qiu made a joke.
Second, there are two other precious treasures in the tomb.
The Nameless True Man said that there are two precious treasures left for those with predestined fate in the future at the place where his coffin is located.
Ye Qiu was full of curiosity.
I don’t know what the two precious treasures left by the Nameless True Man are？
As soon as Ye Qiu put down the wooden box, with a “boom”, one side of the wall of the stone room separated to both sides, and a door appeared.
It was only at this time that Ye Qiu discovered that there was a groove on the table where the wooden box was placed, and this groove was the mechanism.
He didn’t hesitate and directly stepped into the stone gate.
Inside the stone gate, there was only a flight of steps paved with bluestone.
Each step was three feet long and one foot wide, winding down continuously.
Ye Qiu walked forward step by step on the steps. After walking about 100 meters, suddenly, he stopped.
