In the middle of the back mountain was a huge crater.
The huge pit had a radius of one kilometer and a depth of over thirty meters. From afar, they thought this was a corpse pit. However, when he got closer, he discovered that there were a lot of living people living in the deep pit.
There were people of all ages, and not only were they handicapped, but they had all gone mad. These people were in a frenzy as they bit each other. Some were eating dirt, some were eating rocks, some were eating trees, and some were scratching the walls. They were trying to climb out of the holes.
In total, there were at least four or five hundred people.
Their hoarse roars made everyone who heard them feel heartache and grief.
Su Xuan's voice was choked with emotion: ”These people, they were all normal people before, some of them are from the Crippling Sun Town, and some of them are sword artists from our Broken Sword Pavilion. Even my master is one of them! ”
Su Xuan pointed to a woman dressed in tattered red clothes who was scratching at the wall within the deep pit. ”That woman dressed in red is my master — — Saiqiu. She was once a peerless swordsman, and she had a kind heart. He brought me to practice swordsmanship since I was young and taught me to read and write. Take me to the light, to the cause. But she herself had become like this. For many years he has lived an inhuman life in the Pit. ”
Xiao Yu didn't know why, but he felt a faint sadness. ”What exactly happened here? ”Why did the great swordsman become like this?”
Su Xuan said: ”The setting sun is gradually weakening, and for the people of our Crippling Sun Town to bathe in light, it is getting harder and harder! If we are unable to bathe in the light of the setting sun, our disability will become more and more serious and eventually disappear completely. My master was a depressed person. In the past when the setting sun was normal, my master was still fine. However, after the setting sun gradually faded, my master's mental handicap continued to get magnified, and finally, after a battle, he completely went insane! ”
As he said till here, the corners of Su Xuan's eyes actually flickered with tears.
Xiao Yu said in a heavy voice, ”Living rather than death, is indeed the most tragic thing in the world. Why is the setting sun so weak? ”
Su Xuan said: ”Ping Hai's light tower is weakening. A thousand years ago, Shang Fang introduced light to the Province Pinghai. Three hundred years ago, the one-armed blind man served as the light of the Province Pinghai. We also moved here after the one-armed blind man healed the Province Pinghai. But eighty years ago, the light of Province Pinghai had expired! ”
Xiao Yu was shocked, ”Light expires? ”What do you mean?”
This was Xiao Yu's first time hearing this.
The light will still expire?
He had never heard of it before.
Su Xuan said: ”Daoist Master Shang Fang entered the empire as a Seven Stars Grand Sword Master. His Majesty rewarded him heavily and agreed to bring light to the Pinghai Kingdom for seven hundred years. Seven hundred years from now, the light will expire. The empire will have to reclaim its light once it expires. This was the biggest crisis the Province Pinghai had ever faced. If it wasn't for the one-armed blind man who set up the provincial marquis' residence, the light would last for five hundred years. I'm afraid that the people of the Province Pinghai have long been fighting, burning, killing and looting, killing and killing each other, fleeing and fleeing. However, due to Shaosang's rebellion, the Empire had given the Province Pinghai half of its glory. That meant there were only two hundred and fifty years left. Eighty years ago, the glory of Province Pinghai was going to expire again! It was my senior who was crippled, who was in charge of thousands of Blade Mountain, who had stolen Shang Fang's golden sword, who had given up his life and contributed greatly to the empire, bringing glory to the Province Pinghai for the next eighty years! Now, do you understand why my Broken Sword Pavilion seized the golden sword? ”
Xiao Yu's expression was shaken, and revered: ”Legs less ugly woman, the reason you took Shang Fang Jian away from the mountain, is to join the imperial court. to restore the brightness of the Province Pinghai! ”
Su Xuan said in a deep voice, ”That's right. With Shang Fangjian in hand, he could enter the capital without an imperial edict. My ancestor took away the golden sword a thousand times before, because he saw that the Prefecture Marquis and the Thousand Swords Sect were weak and had no way to sustain their glory. This was why he had no choice but to take Shang Fangjian and continue his journey into the capital. If not for that being the case, the current Province Pinghai would have disappeared a long time ago! ”
Suddenly, Xiao Yu felt an incomparable amount of respect for this legless ugly woman.
He had lived for two hundred years in seclusion with the help of a peerless sword technique. When Ping Hai was in trouble, the legless ugly woman, with her handicapped body, suddenly stepped forward. Even though she was scolding by the entire Province Pinghai, she still had to take away Shang Fangjian and enter the capital alone.
Such feelings were for the sake of being a chivalrous hero!
Chivalry of the World!
Truly admirable. Look up!
Su Xuan's eyes were full of regret, sadness, and pride. After a moment of silence, she continued, ”Later on, when the light was about to expire, the Duke Blue Clothes appeared. To enter the Saint Ruler's Hall was to maintain the peace of the world for a hundred years. From now on, for the next hundred years, the Province Pinghai's radiance could continue to shine. However, whether it is the one-armed blind man, my master Su Qi, or the Duke Blue Clothes … The light was getting weaker and weaker, each time. Our desolate town, the Crippled Sun, felt particularly distinct, because the light had weakened, and even the rays of light that had appeared in the morning and evening were gone. The disability in our town of Crippled Sun has also become more and more serious as a result. My master has gone mad. My senior sisters and junior brothers have all died from disabilities exploding. ”Right now, the condition of the handicap is constantly getting worse!”
As he spoke till here, Su Xuan deeply sighed without saying a word.
Xiao Yu frowned.
Su Xuan said, ”The light that Spiritual Master Shang Fang has brought to the Province Pinghai is sixteen streams. Although the light that the one-armed blind man provided for the continuation of the Province Pinghai was relatively weak, it was still the light of the Sixteen Streams. But my master, Zu Sin, brought in seventeen streams of light. The light that the Duke Blue Clothes continued to give to the Province Pinghai was also seventeen, it was weaker than the seventeen that my ancestor brought in. However, it was slightly stronger than the seventeen streams of light from seventy-two counties. We are completely unable to sustain the survival needs of our family. Adding to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain's demon beast disaster, a great disaster is about to befall us! ”
Xiao Yu felt very sad and gritted his teeth, ”How serious is the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain's demon beast disaster?”
