The twelfth year of Emperor Shaojing, February 20.

Jin Guan.

After a sleepless night, Yun Chongbo's eyes were bloodshot.

…… He couldn't sleep.

As soon as he closes his eyes, he will see...... That fight!

Stimulated by Chang Geng's words, the sea showed his strength and sword skills that he had never shown before, and Yun Chongbo even felt that if he could break time and space and let him fight "the sea in the future generations", as a result, I am afraid that it can also be divided into two points. Almost every slash and stab would make Yun Chongbo deeply shaken and have a new understanding of the knife technique.

But at the same time, he also shared Chang Gung's feelings: Running his brain power to the limit, Chang Gung weaves the most perfect defense with the power of the upper section of the eighth level, and the heavy knife momentum seems to be able to tear the sky and tear the ground, but it can't break Chang Gung's defense.

If this continues, it will still only be a reproduction of the battle just now: under the continuous pressure of the sea, Chang Geng's defense will eventually collapse, but before that moment, he made the most unbelievable counterattack.

still uses the "Five Elements Hugh King" to fight the enemy, but with changes that have never been shown before, although Chang Geng can't increase his strength, he can suppress the power of the sea, knocking down the ninth level from the supreme realm of the tenth level, and continuing to crush the eighth level.

"Dry King...... You!? ”

His eyes were torn apart, but he couldn't do anything, he didn't have Chang Geng's terrifying calculation ability, if the gap in strength was smoothed out, he would be doomed to defeat, but Chang Geng was not satisfied with this, and was still continuing to downgrade his strength.

…… At this time, Yun Chongbo finally understood.

Walking in the sea, I have also understood.

When the single knife in his hand was surrounded by milky white brilliance and forcibly withdrawn, the two of them ...... Got it.

"It turns out that the sentence ...... Aren't you talking about the King of the East? ”

Losing the heavenly soldier in his hand, he also lost all his strength at the same time, and he fell down in the soft sea, although he stood up and gritted his teeth and stood up, Yun Chongbo could feel that he was really as empty as a yellow platform at the moment, and he could not be cut again. For example, he was as if he had been forcibly dug out and his blood drained just now, and he was still able to stand like this, thanks to his strong will.

“…… I'm sorry. ”

The voice was painful, and there was no falsehood, and at the same time, Yun Chongbo could also see that Chang Geng and Hun Tian had extremely sad looks on their faces.

"King Bei, we have never doubted your loyalty to Taiping."

"But...... Taiping doesn't need his knife anymore? ”

As soon as he remembered the sound of the miserable laughter, Yun Chongbo would have uncontrollable convulsions, which was a kind of colic, a heart-rending pain.

…… Denial, denial of oneself, denial of everything, coughing up blood, laughing like a long cry, that kind of laughter will be more painful than any physical injury.

That's why Yun Chongbo asked Xiao Wenshuang questions, so he refused the arrangement to leave, because he finally understood what role "himself" played in the history of "Little Heaven"!

(In order not to cause confusion for future generations, all records of the sea are erased, and at the same time, the time spell is used...... ）

I can't help but think of what Xiao Wenshuang once said: As early as the beginning, Zhang Nanjin also had doubts about the spell to protect the sea: because, the Taiping Heavenly Soldiers are like the Heavenly Divine Soldiers, the body of the weapon is just the appearance, and the real significance is the indelible and powerful Yuan Spirit in it, in other words, the sea can be destroyed and destroyed. But that doesn't make sense, when the next generation of immortals is reincarnated in the human world, the corresponding heavenly soldiers will also be reborn, from this point of view, it is really strange to use the time spell to protect a heavenly soldier...... Rather, it will affect the rebirth of future generations.

He didn't know anything about the time spell and related knowledge, and Yun Chongbo never took this matter to heart, until this moment, he finally understood, understood Zhang Nanjian's question, and understood this strange arrangement......

The role of the time spell is not in "protection", but in "banning", so that the sea cannot be reincarnated in the world!

(Nanjin Zhenren, you died for me like this...... ）

Recalling those memories, past lives, and present lives, recalling those who went all out for themselves and were not afraid of sacrifice, recalling the one who woke up the world with a sword, and recalling the one who stepped on the sea with a knife...... Thinking of myself, and the forbidden sea.

(The undead may also be the enemies of the Peace...... ）

Yun Chongbo is not unaware of this possibility, and has heard this statement more than once, but only when he became the "protagonist" did he suddenly feel that sentence, gossip, but it was all blood and tears......

(Yes, Xiucai also said that the final defeat of the Little Heavenly Kingdom was the defeat of the undead...... ）

Supported to get out of bed, Yun Chongbo pushed open the door and went out, fetched water and washed his face, only to find that Xiao Wenshuang and He Lingbing were missing.

(Are they angry?) ）

This morning, it was supposed to be the time to leave the city, but after yesterday's dream, Yun Chongbo felt that he couldn't, so he left like this.

I don't know how to say it, because I know that no matter how I say it, it will hurt Xiao Wenshuang, and in the end, Yun Chongbo was just silent, but I felt that Xiao Wenshuang had understood what he meant.

(But that way, she might be even more uncomfortable...... Moreover, Jiutian must be very annoyed...... ）

While washing his face, Yun Chongbo had already found that the surroundings were surprisingly deserted, Xiao Wenshuang He Lingbing Hua Shengrong was not there, and even the inexplicable shopkeeper did not know where to go.

(Where are you going...... Forget it, anyway, it's better not to let Nine Heavens see me now. ）

Moving his body, Yun Chongbo was about to try his luck in the kitchen to see if there would be any leftover breakfast, but suddenly heard a squeak, and the door was pushed open.

"The undead, there's a disturbance."

“…… It's you?! ”

With his hands behind his back, Zilu stood at the door, looking at Yun Chongbo expressionlessly, and after a while, he slowly spoke, saying that he hoped to compete with Yun Chongbo again.

"Don't worry, it's the point."

Looking at Yun Chongbo, it seemed that he was already a dead man, Zilu said, "I won't kill you...... You are Zigong's. ”

This tone was almost insulting, especially in the previous battle, Yun Chongbo was still the "winner", but, looking at Zilu, he found that he didn't even have a little anger.

(also right...... It wasn't me who defeated him...... ）

After standing silently for a while, Yun Chongbo said, "Okay, you wait for me to go back and get the knife." As he spoke, he turned around and left, not caring that his back was exposed. After a while, he came out of the sea, without any posture, so he stopped on the opposite side of the sub-road and said, "How to fight." His tone was full of tiredness, and he couldn't hear even the slightest seriousness.

"Ten moves...... Stop whether you win or lose. ”

seemed to be dissatisfied with Yun Chongbo's slackness, but Zilu still maintained a solemn bearing, and raised his sword and said: "This sword is tireless, one elbow wide and five feet long......"

"Tireless?"

I was stunned for a moment, and I clearly remembered that in that tense and frantic night of Qianqiu Mountain, I was tired of fighting and burning the sea, and I was already exhausted, and I fell apart at the last blow, and it was only three days before and after, how could it have been as good as new?

(Could it be that this sword, like the Taiping Heavenly Soldiers, can also be repaired on its own?) ）

For a long time, Yun Chongbo found that the nature of the sea is quite peculiar, and it can be repaired by itself, no matter how many defects and cracks appear on it when fighting the enemy, after standing for a period of time, it will disappear on its own, and it is still sharp and hard, if it is new.

According to the records of Taiping Dao, this is a phenomenon common to all Taiping Heavenly Soldiers, and at the same time, the Heavenly Divine Soldiers also have this characteristic, why? So far, no one has been able to explain it clearly, and they can only think that this is related to their own primordial spirits, which are immortal and immortal.

(But there is nothing to be tireless...... ）

"The sword used by Zilu is tireless."

As if seeing Yun Chongbo's question, Zilu simply said that this was recast by himself from a blacksmith, the iron quality is very good, and the craftsmanship is also good, just because the time is tight, and the number of hammering is not enough.

"But ...... in that case"

I really want to ask, "Is such a thing still called tireless?" But suddenly he realized, and Yun Chongbo closed his mouth.

"Tireless, just a name."

Hengjian looked at the fine lines above, and Zilu said: "In the past four thousand years, there have been dozens of Zilu, and there have been thousands of tireless ...... Those who can follow the path of the 'sub-path' are the sub-path, and those who can hold on to the sub-path are 'tireless'. ”

“…… It's like whoever sits on the throne is the 'emperor'. ”

"Huh?!"

Shocked, Yun Chongbo had never thought about the problem from this angle, the immortal, the ancient name of Confucianism, and the surname of the emperor...... These disparate concepts were suddenly mixed together, which made his mind even more confused, but also caused a new flash of light to appear in his almost numb thoughts.

"In short, O Immortal, the reason why I insist on coming to fight you is not an obsession with victory or defeat."

“…… Much higher and higher than that. ”

"So, let's fight!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The twelfth year of Emperor Shaojing, February 20.

Zenchi Temple.

"Please, please......"

With the spring breeze on his face, Zhu Xiaojie invited the guests into the hall one by one and sat down.

Of course he should be happy, after years of fighting, he finally became the final victor, the other three brothers fell one by one, Zhu Zisen has also become a wisp of revenant, as for the lingering Zhu Youxi......

"There are two immortals here, I'm afraid of him!"

Of course, this is just a statement to cheer himself up, in private, Zhu Xiao masterpieced all the security measures he could think of, including dozens of Sanshan disciples summoned by Liuxian, of course, what made him happiest was that after Zhu Zisen fell, Zhu Jiabao seemed to have finally recognized the reality, that is, now, the guards of this fort, who have never accepted the orders of the branches, have been dispatched to guard the left side of the Zenzhi Temple.

Zhu Xiaojie has a high evaluation of this elite soldier trained by Zhu Zisen in the method of battle for many years, and he has coveted it for a long time, and he is quite excited to finally start today. But, at the thought of the news that was about to be announced in front of all the other suitors, it seemed like nothing.

“…… Zhu Xiaojie is a little frivolous. ”

In the gloomy corner, looking at Zhu Xiaojie with a red face, Liuxian frowned slightly and criticized.

"The news just came that the thieves outside the city have moved a little bit again."

It didn't seem to have heard Liuxian's criticism, and Bo Yang, who was standing behind him, reported the information just now.

“…… Never mind. ”

Regarding the so-called "thieves", Zhu Xiaojie pointed out at the beginning that it was absolutely impossible, because those thieves were originally ...... It's the people of the Zhu family!

"However, they have always been in the hands of Zisen alone, although I know, but there is no channel...... But it doesn't matter, right now, they should be more anxious to contact me. ”

Moreover, he is still afraid of Zhu Youxian, and Zhu Xiaojie does not want to contact these Jianghu forces immediately, in his arrangement, this is not a matter of urgency, and it can be handled slowly.

I know this very well, but I don't want to tell Boyang, after all...... He's just a guy who's just getting on his side.

After fulfilling his promise and sending Emperor Xiang and Ao Xingxing to prison, Bo Yang also took refuge in Zhu Xiaojie's team, as for the conditions...... It's also very clear.

"I'm sorry to be on the wrong team before, but in the future, I hope that Yaowanggu, the Zhu family, and the three mountains of the East China Sea can continue to be good friends."

With such a statement, Bo Yang joined Zhu Xiaojie's camp, although he could not get the full trust of the immortals, but on the one hand, he did have excellent work ability, and on the other hand, he was also very good at verbal response, and won some favor for himself.

"Two immortals, needless to say, before I came here, I didn't want to pave the way for others, but losing is losing, and it's useless not to admit it."

"If you can't be a winner...... I hope, at the very least, to stand with the winners. ”

Because of such a straightforward statement, and because Liuxian really didn't want to turn Bo Yang or Medicine King Valley into an uncontrollable enemy, he finally nodded,

"Well, there's another person, who doesn't seem to be here."

Zuo Wu Lieyang and Sun Fuyi appeared one after another, although Ao Xingxing was invited, he refused to attend, and only Emperor Xiang came here on his behalf, and on the other side, Qi Yeyu and Bo Yang also entered the table one after another.

"All five of them are here......"

With a smile on his face, Zhu Xiaojie stood in the center of the room, and in the back, he was also smiling, as if he was doing a happy event.

"Today's words should have been said in Zhujiabao, but Zisen passed away not long ago......

Moreover, everyone in Fengyang knows that the Zhu family has always worshiped the Buddha, and Zhu Zimu is even more pious and serious, so it is very appropriate to announce this important news in the Zenzhi Temple...... said many reasons in a row, but Zhu Xiaojie never mentioned the things that the following five people knew well.

Because of the terrain of Zenzhi Temple, and because of Shi Yuanren's strong cooperation, Zenzhi Temple at this moment is probably the most unlikely place in Fengyang City to be attacked!

(This guy is still very timid...... Could it be that it wasn't really him who operated Zhu Youxi...... So? ）

His eyes moved slightly, sweeping over Sun Fuyi, who was smiling brightly, and the emperor pulled the corners of his mouth first, revealing a calm smile.

(Zhu Xiaojie, so far, I haven't found out the identity of me and Xingxing, to the effect that it is...... Why did such a guy have the last laugh? ）

I don't believe in the story of "Zhu Family's Orphans" at all, and I don't believe that it will really be a thug of Zhu Siyi's family, but after carefully thinking about every assassination of "Zhu Youxi", Emperor Xiangxian couldn't find a logical answer.

(On the sixth day of the second month, he assassinated Zhu Si in the incense powder shop, on the tenth day of the second month, he assassinated Zhu San in his own house, and on February 15, he assassinated Zhu Zisen outside the city...... What is the reason for this, and what is the connection? ）

Qi Yeyu, Zuo Wu Lieyang, Sun Fuyi and Bo Yang all had suspicions, and even Zhu Zisen considered them, but they passed the test one by one and ruled them out one by one, and everyone had a strong alibi.

Of course, strictly speaking, this is not enough evidence, Qi Yeyu has the three mountains of the East China Sea behind him, and Sun Fuyi has the Dongjiang Sun family behind him.

(Wait, ......?!) ）

Suddenly remembering something, the emperor and elephant fought in horror first, and almost chilled his face, but fortunately he reacted quickly, only his heart, and his face was still very amiable.

(Alas, in fact, it doesn't matter, as long as things are going smoothly over there today, what Zhu has tears and the rest of his life, what Zhu Da Zhu Er, Zhu San, Zhu Si...... Snail horns and wrinkles, what to do? ）

Explaining himself in this way, Emperor Xiang first casually scanned the field, but saw that Sun Fuyi's eyes lit up, obviously deliberately piling up a smile - looking along the past, he saw that it was Guanyin, who was sitting in the side room with his eyes and nose and heart.

(This guy who has nothing to do, even the apprentice of Shi Futu has to tease...... ）

Looking over slowly, I saw Qi Yeyu's face happy, and he only pressed it forcibly, and saw Zuo Wu Lieyang full of resentment, but he just pressed himself, and when he looked at Bo Yang again, he was smiling lightly, as if nothing had happened.

(This guy is the most complicated...... ）

At this time, Zhu Xiaojie had already made a big statement, and let out a long breath of turbidity, and then Shi Yuanren was accompanied by a smiling face and handed over a cup of tea.

(Hmph, yes, it's a look...... ）

With a sneer in his stomach, the emperor elephant saw Bo Yang stand up again and went over to Liuxian, but he didn't know what was going on. But he didn't bother to think about it anymore, took a sip of tea, his eyes swept over, but he was suddenly startled!
