Baiqin City is located in the northern part of Jiangnan Province, and it is only about 2,000 miles from here to Zhongchao Province, and it can be reached in about five days if you travel normally on horseback for a whole day.

Now it is the fifth day that Qi Qi has been on his way since leaving Lingqin Mountain, and he is still in the mountains and rivers, but from a distance, he can already see the outline of the towering and tall city wall of the border city of China and North Korea.

He is now on a high ground, looking from his place, the people and horses gathered from all directions below are delicate, and the Zhongchao Province, where the imperial city of Chang'an is located, is very lively.

Looking at this vast scene, Qi Qi couldn't help but feel heroic, and the sadness in his heart when he was separated from Xuanniao also melted a lot.

After lifting the horse's rope, he spurred the horse down the mountain.

In the evening, Qi Qi finally rode his horse to the foot of the border city of China and North Korea Province.

Behind him was the remnants of the distant sky, which were like a scorching fire, scorching the sky, making the outline of the remnants of the distant sky slightly distorted, like the scene when it was grilled by an open flame.

"Drive!"

Qi Qi sounded a hearty and condensed cheer in his mouth, spurred the horse with the reins in his hand, and galloped towards the city wall.

His plain white robe fluttered in the wind, clinging to him, outlining the lines of his thin and condensed body.

After a cup of tea, Qi Qi also crossed the city gate and entered the border city.

This city located in the southeastern border of Zhongchao Province is called Wuhuan City, which is a medium-sized city, not big or small.

After Qi Qi left his horse in the stable in the city to be taken care of, he found a nearby inn to live in.

On the first floor, I ordered a plate of braised pork and a bowl of rice, and began to eat.

At this moment, he heard the people at the table next to him talking.

"Have you heard? Recently, Kenzuka has started recruiting students. ”

"But I don't think I can recruit anyone, right?"

"yes. Since this sword mound came out of that file, it has always only accepted women, not men. In addition, the background of their sect is getting thinner and thinner, and on the surface, they are still one of the seven major sects in the rivers and lakes, but in fact, everyone knows that this sword mound that was ranked at the end of the Tianji Pavilion has existed in name only. I'm afraid that there are already many first-class sects on the rivers and lakes that can replace it. ”

"This is the case in the rivers and lakes, it has always been the survival of the fittest. If her Sword Sect doesn't know how to keep pace with the times, she will only perish. ”

"It's a pity, the sword mound used to be a fairyland in the hearts of all swordsmen in the world, if it weren't for the fact that she doesn't accept male disciples now, and the background of the sect is not as good as before, just for the sake of the "Eight Extremes Sword Spectrum", I would definitely give it a try. ”

"yes—"

Bang!

Just as the two were talking, they suddenly heard a strange sound from the table next to them, and they couldn't help but look, only to see that a man in white accidentally knocked over the teacup on his table, and the tea splashed on the table.

The two smiled, didn't think much about it, retracted their gaze, and continued to talk.

But it didn't take long for the man in white next to him to get up and walk in front of them.

The two Yaxing were disturbed, and they couldn't help frowning.

"What did the two of you just talk about?" asked, the man in white.

"What's the matter with you? Where are you going!" The two of them saw that the man in front of them looked like a weak scholar, and they couldn't help but feel even more unhappy in their hearts, and said impatiently.

The man in white did not leave immediately, smiled slightly, and put a gold ingot on the table.

"Why are you trying to buy me for money?" said one of them.

The other person hurriedly covered his mouth, "Hey, old man, don't get along with money." ”

As he spoke, he smiled at the man in white and neatly took the gold ingots into his arms.

"Shaoxia is asking 'Eight Extremes Sword Spectrum'?"

"Hmm," the man in white nodded.

"Shaoxia might as well sit down first, hehe," took the money, and the corners of this person's mouth also floated into a flattering smile. No matter what the strength of the man in white in front of him was, the wealth that could throw out gold ingots at his fingertips alone must be unimaginable to them.

The man in white is either rich or expensive.

Qi Qi sat down on the bench on the east side.

"We just talked about the 'Eight Extremes Sword Spectrum', I don't know what the young man wants to ask?"

"Tell me everything you know, about the Sword Shrine, about the Eight Extremes Sword Spectrum," Qi Qi said.

"Okay, but, that's something to say!" the man laughed, and then gushed endlessly, "This sword mound was originally the head of the seven major sects in the rivers and lakes, with strong strength and strong heritage, and the masters in the sect are like clouds, and the disciples are all over the rivers and lakes. But ten years ago, Ruan Xuantian, the second master under the Sword Shrine Sect, betrayed the sect and got along with the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect, not to mention that it was good, no one knew that this Hehuan Sect practiced the Yin and Yang double cultivation method, and this Ruan Xuantian went to the double cultivation method with the Tai Yun cultivation method. ”

"The two of them are masters of kendo and martial arts, and they have both climbed into the top five of the Tianji Pavilion master list under the mutual reliance on this yin and yang. You must know that before this incident, Ruan Xuantian was only outside the top ten on the list. That Tai rhyme is only going to be in the top ten. This wave of their double cultivation is all to help each other make great progress in cultivation. ”

And because of Ruan Xuantian's betrayal, the sword mound lost a top master, and after becoming stronger, Ruan Xuantian joined forces with Taiyun and the Hehuan Sect behind him to suppress the sword mound, and the sword mound was not as good as a year. Because of this incident, the sword mound was completely disappointed with the men in the world, so he no longer accepted male disciples, and the original male disciples under the door were either expelled from the division because of poor conduct, or they took the initiative to leave the division, and gradually, until now, there is no trace of a man under the sword mound door. ”

"Alas, what you said is not right!" the other person suddenly interjected, "What does it mean that the Sword Shrine is completely disappointed in the men of the world? It is because the Sword Shrine Sect Master, Shangguan Deyin, herself could not bear Ruan Xuantian's betrayal, so it affected the entire Sword Shrine. If it weren't for her extreme, even if the Sword Shrine lost a Ruan Xuantian, it wouldn't have fallen to the point where it is now. ”

"That's right," the man nodded, "Now, the Sword Shrine is one of the seven major factions of the rivers and lakes that exist in name only, and everyone knows that this sword mound will be removed from the seven major factions when the next Tianji Pavilion sect list is updated." And at that time, the sword mound can be said to have completely fallen. ”

When Qi Qi heard this, he couldn't help asking, "Why did that Ruan Xuantian betray the sect?"

"Hehe, this young man doesn't know anything. When the sword mound was passed on to the suzerain, it was originally to be passed on to this Ruan Xuantian, Ruan Xuantian was the eldest disciple of the previous sect master, and now the sword mound suzerain master Shangguan Deyin is the second junior sister. But the day before Ruan Xuantian ascended the throne, Shangguan Deyin duel with him in front of all the elders and disciples of the sect and defeated Ruan Xuantian completely. So, according to the rules of the sword mound, the position of the sect master fell on the head of Shangguan Deyin. ”

"Of course, there is no right or wrong in this matter. The reason why Shangguan Deyin did this was not because she was dissatisfied with her senior brother Ruan Xuantian, but because she felt that she was stronger, more talented, and more strategic, and more capable than her senior brother. It is true that in the eight years since Shangguan Deyin succeeded to the throne, the sword mound has become more prosperous and powerful than in the past. ”

"But that Ruan Xuantian didn't think so, he was taken away from the position of sect leader by his junior sister, and he has suffered countless cynicisms in the past eight years, such as 'men are not as good as women, and the senior brother was defeated by the junior sister', so he betrayed the sect and got involved with the Taiyun of the Hehuan Sect. If you do the math, it's been 18 years. ”

"This Ruan Xuantian is really too low-bearing, and he can't even bear these gossips," Qi Qi sighed when he heard this.

"Alas, Shaoxia, you can't say that! If you also experience such things like that Ruan Xuantian, you may not do better than him!"

"And he can be regarded as having an old affection for the Sword Shrine, it has only been suppressed over the years, if he wants to, with the strength of the Hehuan Sect now, if he wants to remove the Sword Shrine from this Jianghu, it is not a problem. ”

Qi Qi sneered, "If that's the case, then he's really rebellious." ”

Hearing this, the two looked at each other, smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and did not say anything.

"And what about the Eight Extremes Sword Spectrum?" Qi Qi asked.

Hearing the four words of the Eight Extremes Sword Spectrum, the two of them also had a bright light in their eyes, and said, "This Eight Extremes Sword Spectrum can be said to be one of the top sword techniques, and it is known as the most suitable transcendent sword technique for cultivating sword qi in the whole world." It is said that because of its special method of sword luck, it is easier to perceive the existence of heaven and earth vitality than ordinary sword techniques, and then cultivate sword qi. Therefore, it has become the object of countless swordsmen in the rivers and lakes. ”

"However, this eight-pole sword spectrum belongs to the core resources of the sword shrine, and only some personal disciples and some other important figures can be contacted, and outsiders, including ordinary disciples, are not qualified to contact it. ”

"I see," Qi Qi pondered for a moment, got up and said, "Then thank you two!"

With that, he turned and left.

"Alas, young man!" the two stopped him.

Qi Qi turned around and asked, "Is there anything else going on with the two of you?"

The two asked, "Shaoxia, is this going to the Sword Shrine?"

"Hmm," Qi Qi said.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both showed a wry smile, looked at Qi Qi and said, "I'm afraid the young man hasn't forgotten." As we said just now, the sword mound does not recruit male disciples now, and even hates men very much, and the young man goes, except for touching a lifetime of ashes, there can be no other good results. ”

"It's man-made, thank you for your kindness," the words fell, turned and left, no longer looking at the two people.

When the two of them saw that the man in white just went his own way, they also smiled bitterly.

Should we say that this man in white is brave in the face of difficulties, or is he stubborn and stupid?
