Day 7.

In the early morning, the banks of the canal were full of people. It's literally every inch of land that has been filled with people. As long as the people who were not on the main seats on both sides of the big ring, no matter how high or low their status, they all squeezed together and stretched their necks towards the extremely grand ring.

On the wide street in front of the canal, in the bridge over the canal, in the woods behind the canal. There were many more spectators on this day than in previous days, because it was the last day of the martial arts festival, and many people wanted to come and see it anyway. On this day, the East City is unprecedentedly deserted, and here, it is a strange scene of thousands of empty alleys.

Huge ring, surrounded by patches of red. The seats on both sides were still empty for the time being, after all, the big guys wouldn't be there so early. The seats were lined up on both sides, and the last two golden seats were prepared for His Majesty the Emperor and his Yang Guifei. The seats were lined up, and at least a hundred people could be seated, and behind them stood more than thirty monks dressed in black, all from the Black Turban Sect. Basically, the high-ranking officials and nobles in the row are crowded to participate in the martial arts meeting. In addition to Li Heng and Li Wan, three other princes arrived.

In the already crowded crowd, at the head of the spacious bridge, a girl in an embroidered black robe held on to the railing, leaned to the side as much as possible, stretched her neck, and looked towards the big ring excitedly. Next to Ji Yanliu stood Li Xijun, who was wearing a green cheongsam. Behind the two of them, a man wrapped in black and wearing a mask that only showed his eyes on his face was silently hanging his head.

He is Xia Fanxing.

The reason why I was able to come to the martial arts meeting on the last day was mainly because of the extremely important breakthrough that occurred in the double cultivation last night.

Before, the reason why Xia Fanxing didn't dare to take the initiative to block the dantian and block all the breath to come to watch the martial arts meeting. Largely because he was afraid that the dantian would be blocked for too long, and he would not be able to prepare for the ancient sword cave heaven after returning to the sect. The warning from the Coming Fulin was very clear, and the disciples and elders of the Black Turban Sect had fully opened their consciousness in the past seven days, covering the entire place. As long as he Xia Fanxing shows a trace of breath, he will be locked. Once identified, Dali Temple will immediately arrest him.

Until last night, Xia Fanxing suddenly found a way to completely cover up his breath.

Concentric double cultivation.

Last night, under the guidance of Li Xijun, he and Ji Yanliu carried out a concentric double cultivation for each other's breath. Their progress in this regard greatly surprised Li Xijun. After a round of work, when the two of them were lying on the bed panting constantly, Xia Fanxing suddenly found that he seemed to be able to control Ji Yanliu's breath to a certain extent.

He slowly urged the dantian breath, and the tired look on Ji Yanliu's face immediately decreased a lot. He hurriedly asked her in detail how she felt. Ji Yanliu vaguely told him about the strange feeling. Xia Fanxing immediately concluded that he was able to intervene with the breath in Ji Yanliu's body to a certain extent. If she doesn't guard against it, she can almost completely take her breath for herself!

He slowly manipulated that unique feeling, making Ji Yanliu relax. Soon, the aura in his dantian became more and more abundant, and Ji Yanliu showed an uncomfortable expression, making him stop quickly.

Xia Fanxing continued to manipulate the dantian and re-entered that part of the breath into Ji Yanliu's body. Immediately, he asked Ji Yanliu to try to do it too. Soon, he felt a force that was more complete than the dantian blockade, gradually stripping away the true breath everywhere in his body. Xia Fanxing continued to maintain a relaxed state, letting Ji Yanliu continue. Something magical happened, the aura in his body was completely annihilated in a short period of time, and the whole person weakened by a few points at once.

And on Ji Yanliu's pretty face, it was even more ruddy, and the whole person was surrounded by an aura.

So, after several attempts, Xia Fanxing was pleasantly surprised to come to a conclusion.

As long as both of them are not guarded, they can completely extract each other's breath into their own bodies! And after the other party's aura was absorbed, there were not many parts they could use, and more of them were completely hidden in the Dan room, unable to be used, and there was no sign of it.

In addition, you can return each other's true breath to each other at any time......

God help me!

This discovery also shocked Li Xijun. She didn't seem to know that concentric double cultivation had such an effect, which showed that this kind of realm was also very high among the concentric methods.

Taking advantage of this benefit, Xia Fanxing immediately asked Ji Yanliu to "squeeze dry" the true breath of his whole body. Completely store them in the Dan Chamber. And he himself no longer exuded a trace of true qi from his body. Ji Yanliu only has her own breath on her body! Therefore, he can go to watch the last day of the Tang Dynasty Martial Arts Meeting!

After everything was taken care of, Ji Yanliu hugged him excitedly, and the two were very happy and hugged each other to sleep.

And in Xia Fanxing's eyes now, the ring in front of him is far bigger than when he saw it before. In the past, when the Six Generations of the Tu Feng Sect was meeting, Xia Fanxing's ring in the inner sect had always been breathtaking, and it was enough to stand hundreds of people, although there were not so many people in the Tu Feng Sect at all. And the ring in front of him is actually twice as big as the inner sect than the test platform.

It didn't take long for several luxurious carriages to appear outside the crowd.

The first officials have already arrived. When they arrived, they first stood at the back of the seats and did not rush to take their seats.

Then, in a short period of time, more and more dignitaries and nobles and some guests from famous families arrived one after another, and stood at the back of the seat. Then came the five princes, all riding in the canopy chariot exclusive to the royal nobles. When the crown prince Li Heng appeared, everyone present, except for the cultivators, consciously knelt down and saluted, even those disciples of the Black Turban Sect. Xia Fanxing swallowed his saliva and knelt down without hesitation.

After the five princes arrived, they all sat in the seats they had been sitting in for the previous few days. And an official of this level like Yang Guozhong actually arrived after the princes. A total of seven or eight officials of his level came in extremely gorgeous carriages and horses, and they also sat on the seats.

And His Majesty the Emperor did not make any finale appearance on this day, after the arrival of the senior officials, Gao Lishi's shrill voice soon sounded, and even overwhelmed the noisy voices, and spread to the entire venue.

"The emperor has arrived!"

Brushing the ground, rows of people in front of the ring first quickly got out of the way of a wide passage, and then knelt on the ground one after another. Only a few dozen monks from different places bowed half-bowed. His Majesty the Emperor's canopy came with the guard of honor and became the only focal point.

The dozen or so people who sat down in their seats also stood up one after another, knelt down and saluted, and none of the officials in the rear, the disciples of the Black Turban Sect, and all the people around the Daqu dared to slack off.

At this time, the Dali Temple, which I don't know where I was, and the people and horses of the Praetorian Guards have actually completely surrounded the entire place. They were given special instructions not to kneel and salute at this moment to avoid revealing their position.

Xia Fanxing slowly knelt down, but inadvertently swept around. Nine Lotus Sect, Arctic Emperor Palace, Seven Seas Sect... He looked at the monks who were still standing all around him, and by their robes, he could identify their sect one by one. Xia Fanxing couldn't help but gasp, if his identity was exposed, how dangerous it would be!

Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to the two monks in front of the ring. This is the robe of the Yuanshou Mountain healer... And the woman in green clothes, although she didn't turn around, but... Xia Fanxing seemed to have been immobilized, and it was difficult to take his eyes off this woman's graceful figure.

"Flat..."His Majesty the Emperor's voice was a little weak, but Long Wei did not diminish in the slightest. Gao Lishi hurriedly shouted

"Flat!"

She... Xia Fanxing has definitely not forgotten this figure. Even if he only saw the back, he would definitely be able to recognize it. This... This is the former little sister, Han Ningxue, and now Han Qingdai... He could see at a glance that the girl who was wearing a Yuanshou Mountain robe and bowing down was Han Ningxue!

"Xia Lang, Xia Lang? There was a gentle voice in my ears. He slowly got up and shook his head vigorously before he could barely look away from that direction. Han Ningxue, Han Ningxue, why is she here!

Moreover, I just met her on the last day... Is this just the creation of people?

And the man beside her was extremely thin, standing like a log. This person is also a disciple of Yuanshou Mountain, but he definitely does not have the breath of a peach boy. It should be a low-level disciple. It's just, it's just......

"Hug you, I've been wronged. Everyone flattened down under the voice of Colliers. Ji Yanliu gently hugged Xia Fanxing's waist, naively thinking that he was so strange because he was wronged by kneeling, and said very gently.

Xia Fanxing reluctantly showed a smile, "I can accompany you, not aggrieved." ”

"Zhong Aiqing, take a seat!" After Gao Lishi stopped the noise of the surrounding crowd, His Majesty the Emperor helped the concubine Niangniang with a light veil to sit on the golden throne. The old emperor's voice trembled, and he also raised the strength of his whole body to invite everyone to take a seat. Li Longji

After that, he gave Gao Lishi a look. The old eunuch immediately understood what His Majesty meant, trotted up to the center of the huge ring, and said loudly at the top of his voice, "Today is the last day of the Tang Dynasty Martial Arts Conference, and I will preside over today's grand meeting at the behest of Your Majesty." Before the masters of the major martial arts sects decide the final ranking, the top three disciples of the younger first stage and the top ten disciples of the first stage of the youth are invited to the stage. In order to reward the genius disciples of each sect, His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will reward each of the above-mentioned people. ”

"Okay!" There were a lot of echoes in the sea of people around, and Gao Lishi hurriedly made a gesture to quiet the surroundings. The shrill voice shouted, "Please come to the stage with the young geniuses of each sect!"

The applause was like thunder. Soon, the elder of the Black Turban Sect, whose name is Yuan He, brought the three young disciples of the Star Picking Sword Sect, the Wuzhi Sect, and the Taolin Fist Sect to the center of the huge ring. According to the order of ranking, the three young geniuses of the Star Picking Sword Sect stood at the front, the second in the Wuzhi Sect, and the third in the Taolin Fist Sect.

Xia Fanxing saw the young female disciple named Bai Heming. She was dressed in a green coat, with a slender waist and two ponytails in her hair. Her eyes were large, and her delicate face revealed great determination. On her back was the sword given by Li Heng, the imperial jade was golden all over, and the scabbard was wide.

This reminded him of a girl who was similar to his petite figure, and she was also carrying a long sword about the same height as himself, Li Yunhan, a little sword idiot.

"The one on the left of the little girl is the number one of the younger generations of the Star Picking Sword Sect, Wang Yudui. Ji Yanliu continued to look at the girl with great interest, and Li Xijun on the side whispered to Xia Fanxing. Wang Yudui was carrying a wide heavy sword, and there was not much expression on his face.

"Then this lively young man is her second senior brother Jiang Yangzi. Xia Fanxing looked at Bai Heming's right hand, his expression was excited, and as soon as he came up, he bowed to the handsome young man below. Behind his back was a double-strand sword. Among the three, he was the most excited.

However, letting Bai Heming stand in the middle with a girl was a bit unexpected by Xia Fanxing. It seems that her performance is really pleasing to this group of spectators, and these senior brothers really take care of her. There is no one around who seems to have any opinions about this arrangement.

Colliers motioned for the three of them to salute His Majesty the Emperor. Jiang Yangzi bowed to the end excitedly, and the other two bowed slightly. Li Longji on the golden throne, with a satisfied look on his old face, slowly spoke, "The three young geniuses of the Star Picking Sword Sect won the first place, and they are worthy of being the number one Sword Sect in our imperial capital. I am very relieved. Lux, take the gift I prepared for the three swordsmen!"

Gao Lishi hurriedly agreed, trotted off the stage, and summoned two servants, who held three gold chests in their hands, which seemed to be a little heavy, and put them in front of the heels of the three people. Li Longji gently grabbed the jade neck of the concubine beside him, and whispered something to her, Long Yan Zhanyue.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Wang Yudui slowly bowed down and opened the gold chest. Immediately there was a sound of admiration in the sea of people, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and everyone immediately knew what kind of treasure was inside.

- This is a black iron armor. All over in red gold. The size is also tailor-made for Wang Yudu.

The meaning of such a gift from His Majesty the Emperor himself is self-evident. There was a lot of talk all around. Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor is trying to win over future military wizards, so he gave them away with battle armor.

There was a hint of joy on Wang Dudu's face, but he immediately hid it. After regaining his expressionless face, he bowed respectfully and thanked him, and took a step back.

Then, Bai Heming stepped forward and opened the golden box in front of him.

She frowned slightly, and there were voices of confusion in the crowd in front of her.

Inside the huge gold chest, there is only a small golden hairpin. The young girl didn't know what this meant, and picked it up a little recklessly. However, when she touched the golden hairpin, the expression on her face changed!

"Haha, girl, this is the prince's idea, do you think you are satisfied?"

Li Longji smiled, but Bai Heming glanced behind him slightly. This hairpin is definitely not ordinary. She was now able to tell in her heart. Because, with the palm power of her martial arts practitioners, it was difficult to make it move even a bit! And the three of Gao Lishi had no martial arts at all, but they were able to bring it over...

This is a magic weapon that Li Heng asked Li Wan to find a way to get two days ago, and gave it to Bai Heming. The mystery is naturally difficult for a little girl from the secular world to see through.

Li Heng, who was on the main seat at the front of the ring, glanced at Li Wan on the other side. Since coming to the seat, Li Wan, who had a somewhat dignified face, whispered a few words to the golden period law standing beside him. Jin Qifa slowly got up and saluted everyone, and he was dressed in a Taoist robe that immediately attracted a lot of discussions. He raised his hand slightly, and the noise around him slowly calmed down. Jin Qi Fa began to explain the subtleties of this golden hairpin for Bai Heming.

"This thing is made by imitating the unique magic weapon in the Nine Lotus Sect, the Moon Hairpin Drinking. Worn by mortal women, it nourishes the body and moisturizes the skin, and has a clear mind. With the structure of the drinking moon hairpin, it can still absorb some of the aura of heaven and earth for its use. Of course, the effect of this magic weapon naturally does not stop there. If the white girl intends to cultivate in the future, it is a magic weapon that is extremely suitable for cultivation. ”

Bai Heming smiled slightly, then looked a little embarrassed, turned around, pretended to bow calmly to Jin Qifa and the others, and asked in a somewhat glutinous voice, "Dare to ask Dao Chief, how to wear the moon hairpin?"

Jin Qifa smiled, "Poor Dao will teach you." ”

Li Wan also got up at this time, glanced at Li Heng opposite, and said with a smile, "White girl, come to this king in a while, and let Jin Dao Chang teach you some knowledge about this moon hairpin." ”

Xia Fanxing and the others in the crowd kept watching every move on the stage. Seeing this, Xia Fanxing also had to sigh that this Baihe Ming's luck was really good. The prince presented the sword, and King Rong invited her to take a seat. Moreover, this magic weapon brought by the Golden Period Law must have been allowed by the Nine Lotus Sect before it could be passed on to outsiders. However, it is precisely because of this that this little girl is likely to be won over by the Nine Lotus Sect, not just the royal family.

It's a pity, it's an enemy.

"She's in luck. Did you say that she would enter the Nine Lotus Sect and become a monk in the future? Xia Fanxing lowered his hands and held Ji Yanliu's hand in front of him below. The two watched as Bai Heming saluted respectfully in the ring, and then took a step back. Ji Yanliu couldn't help but say. Bai Heming's luck also made most of the people present sigh.

"Hey. Xia Fanxing was just about to say something, but he was suddenly touched behind him, and a voice came. His whole body was shaken, and he quickly swallowed his saliva, and slowly turned around to look.

"Whew... Scared the hell out of me. The visitor was dressed in black and wore a felt hat on his head. He wears a black mask all over his face. When Xia Fanxing turned his head, he raised his head slightly, revealing his eyes covered by black cloth. Qin is blind.

Ji Yanliu and Li Xijun also noticed it. Ji Yanliu turned around and whispered hello, then continued to hold Xia Fanxing's hand and poked his head out to watch. Li Xijun looked at them carefully, and then said to the two, "Be careful." ”

Xia Fanxing nodded, and while being pulled by Ji Yanliu, he asked Qin Blind in great puzzlement, "What about those rangers you are talking about? Didn't you say that His Royal Highness Li Wan wanted to see them?

Qin Blind Man was laughed at by him, "Wait, you will know everything." ”

"Looking at King Rong's anxious look, it is estimated that he has been waiting for a long time. ”

As soon as Bai Heming stepped back, all kinds of thoughts came out in his heart.

The Nine Lotus Sect wanted to recruit her, and the crown prince also favored her very much. This is something she had never thought of before she arrived.

Seeing the second senior brother beside her who was full of interest step forward, she brushed her hair with some worry. I don't know how to feel it.

Although this is a great luck, she is different from the two senior brothers. This time, I participated in the martial arts meeting for the purpose of training. She didn't want to leave the Star Picking Sword Sect, and she had no intention of entering the imperial court, nor did she have the intention of cultivating.

And it seems that Li Heng, Li Wan, and the Nine Lotus Sect are all like a gang. What should they do if they really said they wanted to win them over? A little impatience and grievance slowly appeared on the girl's face, but she quickly forcibly covered it up.

Master said that if you really receive any courtship from any force, the first time, keep your coolness first. Even in the face of the Nine Lotus Sect, it is the same.

And when she saw her extremely excited senior brother Jiang Yangzi, she couldn't help frowning.

This guy is too classless... He walked over to the gold chest and bowed two more times before slowly opening it. Inside was a sword, made of some kind of high-grade dark iron from the Western Regions, but it did not belong to the category of spirit swords. Jiang Yangzi trembled and held the sword in both hands, and said respectfully to Li Longji, who was smiling below, "Your Majesty... Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Longji was most satisfied with this child's performance. He smiled and said, "Let's see if this one fits." ”

Jiang Yangzi hummed excitedly, the long sword was unsheathed, and a cold light appeared. He waved his sword casually, bowed extremely excitedly and said, "This sword is really suitable for the next one, Your Majesty Xie!"

Li Longji nodded and smiled, "That's the best." Your name, but Jiang Yangzi, the second rank of the younger generation of the Star Sword Sect?"

"Yes!"

"Good. When you grow up in the future, are you willing to be my Datang military attache and serve my Datang?"

Li Longji's remarks immediately caused an uproar around him. Even Yang Guifei beside her, her expression under the veil became a little confused. I have never seen His Majesty the Emperor personally open his mouth to attract such a young man into the court!

However, ordinary people, disciples of the Martial Sect, and disciples of the Sect, the reasons for the surprise of the three were different.

Jiang Yangzi's expression was so excited that he was about to faint. Behind him, Wang Yudui and Bai Heming's expressions were already a little wrong. Not to mention the other disciples of the Martial Sect, they were all laughing at him in their hearts. Bai Heming, the youngest, could also see that these two senior brothers had behaved too much. Even though she always knew that Jiang Yangzi was aiming to become an official in the court, his reaction like this did not take the words of several masters in mind at all.

"Yes! Yes... Certain... It must be as His Majesty said!"
