Until this moment, Chu Xuanzhao couldn't tell whether everything in front of him was an illusion or not, anyway, he had just experienced an extremely real hallucination, so he instinctively pounced on him and grabbed his shoulder, staring at his eyes.

He didn't dare to let go and blink, for fear that the next moment the person would disappear from front of him.

"Xiao Nian, it's me......" Chu Xianzhao said in a hoarse voice.

"You?" Helian's eyes, which were not as bright as before, suddenly lit up, as if a small spark had appeared in them.

"It's me. Chu Xianzhao replied, Helian Yuannian's voice was much darker than before, and even had a hint of hoarseness like the vicissitudes of life.

At that moment, Chu Xianzhao felt that the young man who was once like a flower was dead, and the person in front of him was just the resurrection of the corpse of Helian in the first year.

"I remember your brother killing my sister while you were watching. Helian didn't have the excitement he had when he saw his friends for many years, and his face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost.

Chu Xianzhao was silent, and then even let go of his hand.

In his heart, he always felt that Helian had never died in the first year, and he also thought about what the picture would be like if the two really had the opportunity to reunite in the future, whether they laughed and hugged each other, or listened to each other tell each other about the difficulties of these years after crying, or sat at the same table and drank the same pot of wine, and were safe and happy together.

And now he could only face him in silence, unable to say a word, it was his brother who killed Helian Qing'er with his own hands, thinking of killing Su Changqing as well, and he couldn't do anything while watching from the sidelines, or said nothing at all.

Now he is no longer the son of Yinguo, and the first year of Helian is no longer the first year of Helian in the past, they have become the most familiar strangers.

Helian suddenly laughed in the first year, this kind of wild laughter Chu Xianzhao had never seen in him, and the entire warm pavilion trembled in his laughter, so that Chu Xianzhao didn't know if he really wanted to laugh at himself now or bluff laughter, just like after killing the enemy who had been resentful for many years with his own hands, the kind of wild laughter that was unscrupulous and longing for the whole world to hear, there was so much resentment in the laughter, so much curse.

In fact, Helian Yuannian, like Chu Xianzhao, also wanted to reunite with him again since Yan Mang said goodbye, but the reunion that wanted to insert the sword into his heart with his own hands, and the resentment that he hid in his heart turned into uncontrollable laughter at this time, and finally it was extremely hideous on his face, uncontrollable, unable to stop.

Helian Yuannian's tone was full of mockery: "You will also have a day to be a lost dog, Brother Xian'er,"

"What the hell have you done to my friend?" Chu instantly turned to Ge Ping and whispered, like a lion with angry hair rushing to the crown.

Ge Ping pointed out: "Didn't His Royal Highness hear it just now? It was your brother who killed his sister with his own hands, and you stood by and watched, and this hatred was brought to him by you, not by him. ”

Chu Xianzhao felt as if a big hole had been torn open in his heart, and sour water flowed out of it.

"The past has passed, even gods can't change it, we all have to look at the future, Your Highness wants to defeat the people of the Zhao royal family, and take the army of the Southern Continent to fight against Your Highness's father, I know all these things, and I will also support Your Highness to do this, Your Highness needs power and strength to achieve such a goal, isn't there still a family on the Yin Country waiting for His Highness to go back?" It's like Ayu, they all hope that you can go back alive and safely, but you have to learn to face it, a man grows up to learn to face the goals of the future, trust those who help you, if you always look at everything with a skeptical eye, how can you face the future?"

Ge Ping put his hand on his shoulder and taught earnestly, "Whether it is your father or the Great Qin Shi Huang, your future achievements will be far greater than theirs, and I can see that the moment you reign in the world, even your mother, who has been dead for many years, is watching you from heaven." ”

"Use your power to sweep through the city who want to defeat you, and we are here waiting for your good news. Ge Ping finally said, slowly disappearing into the warm pavilion with the first year of Helian, and the heaven and earth were re-enlightened.

In the palace at night, the white-haired young man raised his hand, wiped away the tears on his face, and slowly clenched his fists.

——

The martial arts are coming, and there are many young people gathered in Luoyang City, all of whom represent the top forces in the Daqing Dynasty, and they are all waiting for this grand competition that will allow them to carp to leap into the dragon gate.

The martial arts talents selected in this competition will be used as the main force against the Northern Regions army, and may even change the power structure of the entire Daqing Dynasty, until the war is completely over, some of them will even be qualified to be crowned kings and generals.

"Senior brother, I really obeyed the royal family, and I usually came to Longhu Mountain to point fingers at us, but this time we also want to give three hundred disciples as the advance army of the Northern and Southern War, and those Northern barbarians will never die, it is simply to use Longhu Mountain as their military headquarters to send envoys. ”

A middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in a yellow and purple Taoist robe kept complaining to Zhang Xuande, and the Heavenly Master, who was excellent at cultivating qi, laughed at it and said: "Senior brother, forget it, this matter is a national disaster, and it is not the first time you have heard of the reputation of the Yinguo Iron Cavalry in the world, and they also have the power to defeat the dragoon army, it is inevitable that the royal family will have such a reaction, how can I, Longhu Mountain, watch those iron barbarians attack the Southern Continent and be indifferent?"

"Senior brother, can't you see it? The reason why this martial arts event is hosted by our Dragon Tiger Mountain is that they are unwilling to pay money and money to buy a venue in Luoyang City, the royal family has really come home, and our master is happy to accept it, I have been busy for the past two days. ”

"I, Longhu Mountain, am the premier sect in Qingguo, and I should be ...... doing these things."

The middle-aged Taoist priest lowered his voice and said: "I heard that in order to prepare for this war, the royal family of Qingguo can be said to have done their best to call the six princes and kings to Luoyang to discuss the matter, I am afraid that it is really going to die." ”

Zhang Xuande shook his head and said: "Let everything go with fate, the future of Nanlu depends on this group of young people." ”

Before the martial arts event is about to be held, there is no peaceful and calm fairyland scene in Longhu Mountain, there are too many pilgrims on Longhu Mountain to worship Buddha and light incense, and there is even no lack of various swordsmen and martial arts masters, just hoping to win a good name in this martial arts event, and add oil and incense to the incense platform of the statue of the Dragon and Tiger Emperor with a pious expression, even Zhang Xuande, a middle-aged Taoist priest with a high rank, has to temporarily give up the days of cultivation and are busy entertaining the powerful officials who went to Longhu Mountain from the imperial court.

Those who were a little younger in rank had to build a martial arts platform drawn from thousands of talismans, and there was no time to meditate on the Tao during this time, but fortunately, some of them were also used to cultivating hard.

Compared with the overly low-key Wudang Mountain, Longhu Mountain has been growing prosperous over the years, and the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain have served as the prime minister of Qingguo for many years, and as for Wudang Mountain, they will only go out when they eradicate paganism.

Usually, most of the Wudang Taoist priests live a life of seclusion, and they especially don't like to mix with the power struggle of the imperial court, but Longhu Mountain and Wudang Mountain, as the top sects in the Southern Continent, must have a sect to undertake such as the Fengzen Ceremony and Luo Tian Dajiao and other sacrificial ceremonies, which is also the main reason why this martial arts event is not held in Wudang Mountain, although it is a martial arts ceremony.

Now Longhu Mountain can be described as full of people, resulting in a sense of arrogance on the mountain, but Zhang Xuande is still that plain and mellow temperament, in addition to daily entertainment with those dignitaries, more often than not, it is to teach homework to those little Taoist children, meticulously recite the golden light mantra to them, compared to meeting the Dragon and Tiger Emperor pilgrims prefer to see the scene of the little Taoist priests practicing the golden light mantra, which can be described as steaming and shining with golden light.

Later, a respected old man said to the onlookers that it was inappropriate to watch the cultivation process of the Taoist boy in this way, and it would delay the teaching process of the Heavenly Master, but Zhang Xuande personally came forward to comfort the pilgrims, saying that the cultivation was not delayed, and it was more that it could be achieved when the origin was born, and he didn't even mind that they copied the cultivation process of the Golden Light Mantra, so this Heavenly Master had a very good reputation in the mouths of the people of Qingguo, and some people even suggested that he could take over Dong Qinping's position in the future and become a well-deserved national teacher in the Daqing Dynasty.

Zhang Xuande just laughed at these statements, and did not have any idea of wanting to serve in the imperial court.

In Zhang Xuande's view, instead of cultivating immortals and cultivating immortality, it is better to cultivate one's body and mind and cultivate one's fan.

Outside the Dragon and Tiger Grand View, the Seventh Senior Brother who accompanied Zhang Xuande did not go in, but chose to stand solemnly outside the Grand View, quietly reciting the Golden Light Divine Mantra.

An extremely dazzling golden light bloomed out of his body, rippling away like a reed blown by the wind, and the picture of the golden mist steaming was so immortal.

Zhang Xuande walked into the Daguan Hall with the hanging statues of the ancestors of Longhu Mountain in the past dynasties, and looked at the hanging statue wall of the ancestors of Longhu Mountain in the past dynasties while walking.

You must know that Longhu Mountain can stand for less than a thousand years, largely due to the luck of the ancestors of Longhu Mountain who have become immortals into Longhu Mountain, the history of the Daqing Dynasty is only 1,500 years, and Longhu Mountain has existed in the time of the Great Qin Dynasty.

If it weren't for the Great Qin Iron riding a horse and stepping on the dragon and tiger, the Great Qin Shi Huang personally cut off the dragon veins under the mountain and merged them into the heaven and earth, resulting in the number of dragon and tiger qi being affected, and the luck here is very likely to form a pillar of luck that reaches the gate of heaven. ”

Thinking of the luck of Daqin that had not been cut off by him, Zhang Xuande inevitably felt a little haze in his heart, how peerless the prince of the Yin Kingdom and the princess of Daqin were, and they still stood tall under the suppression of his Thunder River.

Now the two of them have both disappeared in the eyes of the world, but Daqin's luck still hasn't disappeared but is attached to the Yinguo luck pillar, this time it's really carefree under the big tree, as for the future variables of Daqin's luck, it's no longer up to him Zhang Xuande to care.

The Celestial Master was in a state of flux, and in the center of the Grand View Hall was a large mahogany table with a history of nearly 1,000 years, covered with talismans and dragon and tiger reliefs.

There were a total of six people seated here, and among them, sitting closest to Zhang Xuande were two old men, making it impossible to guess their age.

The white linen robe on one of them looked like a shroud, and it felt like he was a zombie crawling out of the grave, the other was holding a string of sandalwood beads in his hand, looking silent and solemn, and a middle-aged man with a full beard appeared in this misty Longshan Grand View Hall, a little raunchy, and one was a short old woman, with two large gold rings nailed under her earlobe, and the old age spots on her face looked like half a dying person, and the last few people of the same age as Zhang Xuande got up and said after seeing Zhang Xuande walk in: "I've seen the Heavenly Master. ”

"Forgive the poor for being late, you don't have to be polite, sit down. After Zhang Xuande sat down on the main seat, he glanced at some of these people who could be called seniors by him.

Since the dragon king Zhao Gongming led the dragoon to conquer the southern continent to establish the Daqing Dynasty, the southern continent has entered a thousand-year-long era of peace, the sects and Taoist sects have sprung up in an endless stream, there is no lack of various talents can be a hundred monsters in the world, once these martial artists have the idea of rebellion, the Daqing Dynasty will appear to be a tragic situation of rivers of blood, even if the army is dispatched, it is difficult to suppress.

Therefore, in order to make it impossible for the Nanlu martial artists to break the ban with their strength, the Qingguo Imperial Court established a force organization called the Dao Alliance to deter these Jianghu martial artists, and managed it with Longhu Mountain as the main alliance, and usually did not intervene too much in the lives of the people of the Southern Continent.

For example, in the battle of the fall of ten thousand dragons set off by the Zhao family's dragon room thousands of years ago, the members of the Dao Alliance also chose to stand by and watch, and would not participate in the war disputes between the royal princes.

Everything in the Nanlu rivers and lakes, even the martial arts movement, is also decided by the Dao Alliance, and they need to discuss certain aspects of things through talks.

And the people sitting in this dragon and tiger grand view are the most powerful leaders in the Dao Alliance, and they are also known as "League Elders"

The age of the elders of the Nine Alliances is very different, and their strength and strength are not equal, only after the members of the older generation die or withdraw willingly, the Dao Alliance will elect a new successor, and the strength of the elders of the alliance is the peak of Nanlu Wufu.

"It's been a long time since you've met in Dragon Tiger Mountain like this, and I remember the last time I was here thirty years ago when I was planning a war against the Shadow Moon Sect, when the Celestial Master was still very young. ”

"Yes, you and I finally joined forces to kill the Great Sect Master of the Shadow Moon Sect, but I didn't expect you to be alive. ”

"The old man should live for a few more years, but several of my grandchildren are dying of old age, for an old immortal like us, what is more helpless than watching his children die of old age and still alive?"

"But Zhou Yufu's old god stick is actually dead, it seems that there is no need to return the "Qingniu Dizang Sutra" I borrowed from him, his grandsons are still looking for where his scripture is hidden, I heard that even his grave has been dug open and has not been found, I didn't guess that it is here with the old man, hahaha!"

Although he is an old man who has lived a few times in the world, he still looks like his eyebrows are dancing when he speaks, and he does not have the dead air of an old man in the twilight.

At this time, the old people who can sit at this table have all been the top people in the Nanlu rivers and lakes, such as the old woman with a face full of old age spots from Shenyun Pavilion, known as the "fairy" in the Nanlu rivers and lakes, has a very high seniority, can open the gate of heaven and call the immortals with his mouth, and his personality is bold and does not lose his eyebrows.

Some good people said that the old heavenly master once fell in love with her at first sight when he was young, and he had to call her "fairy sister" in private

Of course, it doesn't have to be a person with monstrous force to sit here, and for example, the old man in Mai is the leader of the Gongyi family, and anyone who delves into the Southern Continent must call him an ancestor from the bottom of their hearts.

It is rumored that he has interpreted the domineering organ to the extreme, and his mastery is even close to that of the master Lu of the Great Qin Dynasty, who disdains the "non-offensive" advocated by the Mohist organ dao, and has devoted his life to the study of more lethal war weapons, and even hopes to create a puppet god soldier that can replace the dragoon army.

For these old people who used to dominate the rivers and lakes of Nanlu, there were not many things in Nanlu that could make them feel uneasy, except for this upcoming battle between the north and the south.

In the hands of that man named Chu Xiaohua, the deterrent power of the Daqing Dragoon was instantly defeated by him, and the situation of Qingguo's occupation of the south and north dragons took a sharp turn for the worse, the dragoon army was severely damaged, and all the deterrence became worthless.

This time the Dragon Tiger Mountain talks brought them together again to discuss the details of the martial arts move and the bad situation that might arise next.

"Haven't the specific details of the martial arts move been discussed? Lord Heavenly Master called us here in Longhu Mountain, is there anything else you want to say? I don't know who can get the title of martial champion in this martial arts move, and I am looking forward to the performance of the young people. One of the nine alliance elders said with a smile.

"Long Fusheng has the luck of the Long and Zhao families, and he is talented, he is the first person in the young generation of Luoyang, and this title must belong to him. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was looking at the old man with an indifferent smile, the old man with gray hair sat in the Nanmu chair, his skin was unexpectedly pale, his pale hands tightly grasped the handle of the armrest, and the surface of his fingers was covered with scale-like lines when he looked closely.

The old man's still burly body even highlighted the contours of his muscles, just like most of the outstanding dragon master of the year.

"Elder Long. ”

At the big yellow wood table, several junior league elders stood up and saluted him, this old man had been sitting in a position obscured by the shadows, and no one remembered that as a powerful person in Qingguo, he was also a member of the league elders.

In fact, this old man named Long Zhantian has not participated in such an assembly for a long time, since he stepped down from the position of the commander of the Dragon Guardian Legion, he refused the position of the former emperor to stay in the imperial court as the elder of the country, and more often stayed in the Longzhuang Beiyun to retire and drink, even Long Wumastiff, his own son, rarely saw this father.

At that time, he served as the chief commander of the Dragon Protector Legion, responsible for intercepting those pirates from the East China Sea who robbed the merchant ships of the Qing Kingdom, destroying their ships with dragon flames, and coldly watching those burning corpses fall into the sea, which was the arrogant attitude of the Dragon Protector army.

Now this arrogance was completely defeated by the iron cavalry army from the Yin Kingdom, which made the old man who should have been teasing Sun angry, but he was too old to ride a dragon to fight like in the past.

Watching a hero's twilight is as sad as looking at a beauty's gray hair.
