After leaving the Feather Pavilion, Xia Qing followed the flow of people. During this period, I walked into several different shops and found that the items sold in the city were not ordinary, but the prices were also amazing. Here, the spar and the demon beast Neidan are the most sought-after, and there are not many people who use gold and silver in the secular world. On the streets, almost all the people who came and went were cultivators, and the realm was not low.

The clouds and mist lingered in the air, and the concentration of heaven and earth aura was not as perverted as that of the Thunder Temple, but it was also several times stronger than ordinary places;

The buildings in the city are neat and orderly, and every house is antique and antique, and the people's attire is similar to that of the ancients;

The streets are lined with shops, and people love beautiful clothes, food, and decorations, but cultivation is the real pursuit;

Walking on the streets where people came and went, Xia Qing suddenly felt a little dazed, feeling that he had traveled through time and space again, and came to the glorious era of the Immortal Kingdom in ancient times. Thousands of years ago, this was the Forgotten Star Palace, an important town in the Immortal Kingdom, and at that time, it was what it looked like in front of you, right? Who was it that transformed a relic of the Immortal Kingdom into this?

Xia Qing sighed, how respectful she was, and at the same time, there was an inexplicable uneasiness. For some reason, after stepping into this quaint and antique city of forgetting worries, he felt a sense of unease, and sensed a wisp of strange aura in the air.

After continuing to walk for a while, Xia Qing followed the flow of people to a huge square.

There is a high platform at the end of the square, and on the high platform, two young people are fighting hard and competing. There are eye-catching banners hanging on the high platform, on the left is 'invincible opponent all over Wuzhou', on the right is 'I am respected in the city of forgetting worries', and the horizontal criticism is 'the first person in the world'.

The square was crowded with people, cheering loudly from time to time, cheering for the people competing on the high platform, the atmosphere was warm, and more and more people gathered in the square to watch the battle.

"This is the so-called Forget Worry Ring?"

Xia Qing's heart moved, and he remembered the conversation between the little commander and the heavily armored warrior in the carriage when he was at the gate of the city. It can be seen that this forgetting worries ring is very grand, attracting many masters of the younger generation to participate. Xia Qing didn't have any interest, he didn't have any interest in this kind of false name, but he wanted to see the skills of the masters of Forgotten Worry City. Looking around, Xia Qing walked towards a tall building.

It's a restaurant, not very big, but quaint and towering over the edge of the square. There is a plaque hanging on the door, which reads the words 'Worry Building'.

Life is too hard, how can you relieve your worries?

Wine, of course!

As soon as he entered the door, Xia Qing felt a strong aroma of wine coming to his face, and many drunkards soaked in the restaurant early in the morning. The name of the restaurant is Jiewei Building, of course, there is wine, and there are many singers who come out to perform, and the taste of rouge powder is mixed with the taste of wine. In terms of cultivation, the cultivation of the whole people of Forget Worry City, advocating the super masters who stand at the peak of cultivation, is quite a legacy of the Immortal Kingdom era, but in terms of seeking pleasure, it is the same as the secular world. Many people may be practicing penance in the secret room one moment, and the next moment they are hugging left and right in the restaurant, enjoying everything in this life.

Wine and women are always people's favorites, and cultivators are not exempt from vulgarity.

Xia Qing frowned, I don't know if it was influenced by Tang Banbei, he also likes to drink, but he doesn't like the taste of this wine mixed with rouge, and he has been on the top floor of the Relief Building, and has a private seat.

Looking down from the top of the Relief Building, you can see all the movements in the square, although it is a little far away from the ring, you can still see clearly. The shopkeeper quickly delivered the wine and meat meal, and Xia Qing tasted it while quietly appreciating it.

In the ring, the battle reached its fiercest hour.

The contest was played by two young men, both holding a sword in their hands, and their swordsmanship was equally excellent, both of them were swordsmanship masters, but their styles were completely different. One opens and closes, repeatedly rushing to close the distance and hand-to-hand combat, and the moment the sword is released, it faintly brings up a dragon-shaped sword aura;

There is no difference between these two swordsmanship itself, it depends on who has more profound skills and more experience!

Xia Qing has no prejudice, likes the smooth opening and closing, and also likes the elegance of flowing water. After observing it carefully for a while, I was secretly surprised in my heart, these two young people are not very old, they look like they are in their early twenties, but their cultivation is not simple, they are both great masters of life and death, and their swordsmanship is even better, showing two different styles to the extreme. After a fierce fight, the two were indistinguishable from each other. In the square, there were bursts of cheers, people cheered for the two, and there were more onlookers. After fighting for a while, the young man with his sword moves wide open and closed finally won the victory, slashed out seventeen swords in one go, shook his opponent far away, and fell under the ring.

"Okay, Gu Ting Yang, the senior disciple of the Dragon Devouring Sword Sect, is really powerful!"

"As soon as the Dragon Swallowing Sword comes out, no one is invincible! It seems that the number one master of this year's young generation in Wuzhou is the great disciple of this Dragon Swallowing Sword!"

People cheered loudly, and enthusiastic applause resounded throughout the city.

"Dragon Devouring Sword Sect?"

Xia Qing muttered, secretly remembering this sect. Compared with other sects, the swordsmanship of the Dragon Devouring Sword Sect is very unique, and the moment the sword is released, it brings up a dragon-shaped sword qi, giving people double the pressure. While tasting wine, Xia Qing performed the Abyss Technique, imagining himself and Gu Tingyang, the eldest disciple of the Dragon Swallowing Sword Sect, fighting fiercely on the edge of the abyss, visualizing the latter's moves and styles, and trying to find the flaws in the Dragon Swallowing Sword Technique.

The greatest use of the Abyss Recipe is not to turn the battlefield into a bottomless abyss and summon Zhao Laocai and other illusory killing gods, but to visualize various scenes, so as to temper one's own cultivation and find the flaws of the opponent, this is the advice of the old shopkeeper to Xia Qing, remind Xia Qing in time, lest he go astray in cultivation. As for how the old shopkeeper knew the technique of the Abyss Technique, Xia Qing didn't know.

"This son, do you need to listen to the erhu to cheer up?" A hoarse voice interrupted Xia Qing's reflection.

Xia Qing looked up and saw a Jianghu entertainer who came to the front of him at some point. This man was very tall, but unfortunately very thin and hunched over, with a wide hat on his head, and his facial features could not be seen clearly, but his beard was faintly untangled, and he looked to be about forty or fifty years old, and his robe was very tattered and old, and he held an erhu in his hand.

"No need. ”

Xia Qing replied, took out one or two pieces of silver from his arms and put them in front of the artists in the rivers and lakes, there are down-and-out people everywhere, and Forget Worry City is no exception.

"Thank you, Childe. ”

The entertainer was a little gloomy, and turned away silently, without taking the reward on the table.

Xia Qing was a little surprised, "Hey, this brother, why don't you want this silver?"

"No, a tael of silver is already a lot, it's just ......"

The artist hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you very much, Childe, it's just that I, Xiao, am used to living with my own hands, and I'm not here to beg for food." ”

The entertainer turned around and left, walking very resolutely, without even looking at the broken silver on the table.

Xia Qing was stunned, he didn't expect to meet such a backbone artist, he shook his head with a wry smile, and was about to put away the broken silver on the table, when he suddenly felt that the back of this seller was a little familiar, and he looked at it carefully, and noticed that the right hand of the artist holding the erhu was missing a finger and no little thumb.

"Claiming to be surnamed Xiao, there are only nine fingers left......"

Xia Qing muttered, a dashing figure suddenly flashed in his mind, Huo Ran stood up, "Slow, wait, wait!"

The artist who was about to walk out of the room stopped, slowly turned to look at Xia Qing, neither arrogant nor humble, "This son, you called me?"

Xia Qing didn't speak, but just looked the artist up and down, and found that although the latter was wearing a big hat and hunched over, the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt, and subconsciously greeted him, "This brother, you ...... , are you Xiao Wu, the nine-fingered swordsman Xiao Wu?"

The artist's body shook, looked up at Xia Qing, and then turned around and left, "No, the son recognized the wrong person." ”

"Wait!"

Xia Qing rushed up with an arrow, grabbed the artist's shoulder, and then slowly took off the big hat on his head, "Brother Xiao, it's me!

The artist turned around and looked at Xia Qing in front of him, his eyes were a little confused, and then, a flash of surprise, "You...... , you're the ...... in the Saikaihara ring."

"Yes, it's the old man I met in the small town of Xihaiyuan, my name is Xia Qing. At the beginning, you sealed your skills, showed me the power of the Waterfall Turbulent Sword in the ring, and before leaving, you agreed that you and I would meet in Wuzhou in the future. Brother Xiao, do you remember?" Xia Qing was very excited, he didn't expect to reunite with Xiao Wu here.

At the beginning, on the way to leave Xia Wangfu and take refuge in Wuzhou, it was the most dangerous and difficult period for him. At that time, he couldn't even break through the heart fire realm, and he couldn't ignite the heart fire for a long time, and the big butler Zhao was unfortunately infected with corpse poison and couldn't move, and the pursuers chased all the way to Xihaiyuan, and the situation was extremely bad. In desperation, he simply set up a ring to openly challenge masters from all walks of life, deliberately claiming to be the first in the world under the heart fire realm, and defeated many masters with a solid martial arts foundation and excellent swordsmanship. Among them, including Xiao Wu, a nine-fingered swordsman who happened to pass by Xihaiyuan. The latter's stunning waterfall turbulent sword, as well as the dashing figure, all left a deep impression on Xia Qing.

"Mr. Xia, is that you?"

The entertainer was also excited, and finally recognized Xia Qing and held Xia Qing's hand tightly.

"Xiao Er, serve the wine!Send all the best wine and the best food you have here!" Xia Qing shouted loudly, dragging Xiao Wu to sit down at the dining table. Soon, the shopkeeper sent a large table of sumptuous food, Xiao Wu was not polite, devoured it, and almost ate all the chickens, ducks and fish on the table by himself.

Xia Qing didn't speak, quietly watching Xiao Wu gobble up, pouring him wine from time to time.

Back then, what a dashing swordsman was Xiao Wu?

What has happened all these years?

What kind of suffering made a proud swordsman who had swept across the country fall to such a state?

Xia Qing was puzzled, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that Xiao Wu, who was so amazing and arrogant back then, had become the appearance in front of him. In his mind, with Xiao Wu's ability, even if he couldn't become a hegemon after entering Wuzhou, he could at least become an outstanding peerless swordsman. However, the reality is so incredible and cruel.
