C57 (1/2)
”Father!” Tie Wushuang dismounted his horse and immediately dashed into the house. He had been worried about his father for the past few days.
”Mother!” The moment he rushed into the hall, he saw his mother looking out of the door. ”Hey, look at how rushed you are. It gave me a fright — — I'm back!” When Lady Tie heard Tie Wushuang's loud shout, her heart immediately tensed up, thinking that something was wrong. The events of the past few days had alarmed Madame Tie.
”Sigh!” He's back! ”Where's Dad? — Is he alright?” Tie Wushuang grabbed a cup of water from the table and gulped it down.
”Sigh!” Take a good rest first! ”Look at how tired you are.” When Madam Tie saw Tie Wushuang's hurried appearance, she could not help but start to criticize him.
”Hmm, where is father? ”I'll go take a look first — —” As soon as Tie Wushuang put down his cup, he immediately rushed towards the study room.
”Oh, not there! Your father is well! — ”And he came to the door.
”Eh? Where is it? ” Seeing no one was in the study, Tie Wushuang turned to ask Madame Tie. Suddenly, he rolled his eyes. ”Hehe! I got it!” He squeezed out from beside Madam Tie. His body flashed and he was already on top of the laurel tree. With a tap of his feet, he rushed towards the back of the house!
”Mm, this boy …” Lady Tie looked at the shaking laurel, shook her head, and entered the house.
Tie Wushuang rushed over and arrived at the training field at the back of the mountain in the blink of an eye. Standing on the platform, one could reach out and touch the opposite cliff. Iron Wushuang slowly walked to the side of the stage and stomped his right foot on one of the stone slabs. With a loud crash, the stone slabs slid to the side, revealing a hole. Iron Wushuang reached out with his right foot and slipped inside. With a loud crash, the stone slab returned to its original position!
This hole was as wide as a water well. Along the wall, countless ladders had been dug. Every two or three feet, there was a pine oil lamp. It seemed to be very high up. The stone steps spiraled downwards, and a cold wind blew from below.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the area in front of him brightened up. In front of him appeared a flat tunnel, which seemed to have been dug out. This passageway must have been dug out from a mountain. From the hole on the right, he could see the blue smoke.
This passageway was about 200 feet. At the end, another entrance appeared. It was the entrance to the cave! So this was the cliff with big words written at the back of the drill grounds!
A smile appeared on Tie Wushuang's face. With a flash of white shadow, he floated into the cave and arrived on a giant rock on the left. He reached out his hand and knocked on the cave wall. With a light boom, a door the width of four people opened up in front of him!
Tie Wushuang flashed into the room and the stone door closed again. Tie Wushuang clapped his hands and walked to the front.
At this moment, he was already on a small mountain path! On both sides of the mountain, the air was pleasant. After about three hundred steps, a huge manor appeared before their eyes.
It was an open field, with more than a thousand flat areas! It was actually a stone house, one after the other. It was not big, but it was filled with things that were swaying in the wind. Tie Wushuang raised his arms and stood in front of the stone house in the middle of the room. Looking carefully at the stone houses on the left and right, there were countless swords hanging inside! A black metal sword … large, small, long, short. It was hanging all over the stone houses! There were also numerous stoves and iron grade equipment! It was just that he hadn't lit a fire for a long time. It was filled with spider webs and filled with a murderous atmosphere!
Tie Wushuang stretched out his right hand and pulled the iron ring on the stone door in front of him. Then, he knocked the door three times. ”Father!”
”Hmm, Duo'er is back — come in —” Iron Lantern's voice came from inside after a while.
Tie Wushuang was overjoyed. He pushed the door open and walked in, then turned around and closed the door.
It was obvious that this large room was built on the side of a cliff. This was because there was actually a waterfall that was so large that it fell from above! The sound of water rumbled, and the air was covered with a white mist!
The roof was a natural stone ceiling that connected to the front of the cave.
There was a small pavilion facing the waterfall, surrounded by flowers and grass. Bees were chirping and butterflies were dancing. It was indeed a good place for resting.
In the middle of the pavilion was a round wooden table with a tea set on it. Tie Xiaoyun was sitting cross-legged on a bamboo mat beside the pavilion with a calm expression. When he saw Tie Wushuang, he stood up and sat down at the table. Although there was still a layer of black fog on his face, he looked much better.
”Father! — must be better now!” When Tie Wushuang saw that his father was alright, he immediately calmed down. He quickly walked to the table and sat down.
”En, it's alright!” Tie Xiaoyun poured two cups of tea and placed one in front of Tie Wushuang.
”Brother Lin — how is it?” Tie Xiaoyun drank a mouthful of tea and asked Tie Wushuang.
”Oh, okay – with the help of master Ku Chan, everything should be fine!” Tie Wushuang swirled the cup in his hand. Then, he frowned slightly. ”However, based on Grandmaster's words, it might take a very long time — —” After saying that, he turned to look at the waterfall opposite him.
”Sigh …” Tie Xiaoyun let out a long sigh, ”I never thought that my Iron Sword Villa would bring him to such a state!” He paused for a moment, ”I have to remember this benefactor well in the future!”
”En —” Tie Wushuang let out a 'En' and suddenly thought of something, ”Eh? Is my sister not here? ” She just came back and didn't see that crazy girl. She thought she had come here.
”Oh, she left for Penglai, Shandong Province five days ago to deliver a letter to 'Carefree Immortal Dowager', allowing him to be at ease … ”He should be back soon …”
”Oh …” Tie Wushuang seemed to have thought of something.
”I really didn't expect this Ghostly Martial Art to be so vicious!” Tie Wushuang turned around and grabbed a cup as he said bitterly.
”Ah, I saw it thirty years ago!” Tie Xiaoyun seemed to still have some lingering fear, ”However, the witch that came last time was completely different from thirty years ago. If it was the witch from thirty years ago, it would have been impossible for the three of us to escape her clutches that night …”
Ah?” No way! — I already thought that witch was very scary that night! ”Then it's over!” When Tie Wushuang heard his father's words, he was shocked again! ”I can't imagine!
I think this witch should be related to what happened 30 years ago …” ”Iron Lantern stared into the distance as if he was thinking about something.” ”Furthermore, her skills have not yet reached the level she had expected. She must still be practicing! — — Hmm, it should be so.” Tie Xiaoyun muttered to himself.
”Then what should we do?” Seeing his father's serious expression, Tie Wushuang could not help but become nervous. After all, that girl from that night was really scary! ” I don't think she'll let it go. Maybe she'll come back! ”
”En!” Tie Xiaoyun retracted his gaze and looked at Tie Wushuang. He slowly stood up and said, ”You have the same idea as Father!” I don't think she'll let it go! Therefore — ”Tie Xiaoyun turned and walked to Tie Wushuang's side.” We need to hurry up and prepare. Now, Brother Lin is injured, aiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ”
”Also …” Iron Lantern returned to his chair, looking even more solemn.
”And what? ”Father?” Tie Wushuang looked at his father's face.
”Well, the day before yesterday I got the news from the outside that Emei had been beaten down the cliff because of what happened to her — well, it's hard to believe! ”It seems that the martial arts world is indeed experiencing an unprecedented calamity!” Tie Lanyun was furious.
”Ah?” Emei? Emei also —! ”Eh —” A burst of surprise burst out from Tie Wushuang's eyes! It was unbelievable! He was speechless for a long time.
”Father!”
