Chapter 45: Stepping into the Secret Realm
The majestic Chang'an City has stood tall for hundreds of years.
But the gateway of Chang'an, the well-guarded Suzaku Gate, is engraved with a sword mark, which is a young man drunk with a long sword to write the poem "want to go to the blue sky and catch the bright moon", which caused a sensation in the entire capital.
When the magistrate Di Renjie wanted to arrest him for sabotaging Chang'an, the empress of Aicai refused.
The empress even ordered to preserve the poetic traces of sword intent on the Suzaku Gate. Within a few days, the name of this young man "Sword Immortal" who entered Chang'an with one person and one sword spread all over the Tang Dynasty.
He is Li Bai.
At that time, Li Bai, who was young and frivolous, refused the empress's invitation to enter the court as an official, and began the journey of trying the sword world. When he saw the surging Yellow River for the first time, the sword intent in his heart burst out, rushing to the sea and never returning. Since then, Li Bai, who has no master of the organ, no secret method of the Demon Dao, and no bloodline of the Demon Seed, has only relied on himself and the sword in his hand to become the first person among the strong people of the Tang Dynasty, and he is a real genius.
He would write poems to each of his defeated opponents, and as a result, the names of the poems and the names of the swords spread along with them. Later, some people even regarded it as glory, and asked for defeat in order to win the Psalm, which made people laugh and cry.
Not long after Li Bai's sword intent reached its peak, the journey also came to the Western Regions. Few people know that Li Bai, who is a Tang dynasty, was born under the mirage of the Western Regions.
He returned with the glory of the Sword Immortal, only to find that the exotic and prosperous city of his childhood memories no longer existed.
Princess Loulan, who was sold into slavery, confided in him what had happened to her: the iron cavalry of the Tang army crossed the Great Wall and leveled the entire Western Regions. The ruined city was soon buried in yellow sand.
Li Bai wanted to rescue her, but the girl chose to cut herself off from humiliation.
The blood aroused Li Bai's chivalrous heart.
He broke into Chang'an for the second time and questioned the empress's claim that she wanted to recover the Western Regions. Overnight, Chang'an changed color, and Daming Palace was also overshadowed by the sword of the Sword Immortal.
Chang'an City, which had never been breached by external forces in history, was shaken for the first time because of an ordinary person.
No one knows what happened at the end. Li Bai retreated from Chang'an City. His secret conversation with the empress was regarded as taboo and did not appear in the historian's pen.
Only Li Bai himself knew that his pride had been thwarted, at the peak of the strongest. Since then, he has gone into self-imposed exile, seeking new meaning from his lonely journey, accompanied by more than a sword and more wine.
Everyone thought that the sword immortal was in a state of collapse. But in Chang'an's mansion, Di Renjie checked the report on Li Bai's whereabouts and showed an elusive sneer.
"When it comes out of the sheath again, it will be even more earth-shattering. This guy is too proud and too lonely. ”
And the day predicted by Di Renjie came a few years later.
It's a normal day in Chang'an City. The morning bell echoed in the sky, and the travelers from the Western Regions came from afar, looking up at the sword marks on the Vermilion Bird Gate; In the lively Changle Workshop, the Wuling teenagers were in a commotion because of the unprecedented beautiful sound of the piano; The ginkgo trees in Ganye Temple are still flourishing.
Only Di Renjie's secret agents disappeared into the darkness, nervously staring at the figure of the man in white clothes and accompanied by wine and swords.
Sword Immortal Li Bai, three into Chang'an.
How will Chang'an City be shaken this time?
"The sword of the river comes from the sky!"
Later, when the period of great evolution of the whole people came, what happened after Li Bai entered Chang'an City has been lost in history and covered by countless mysteries.
No one knows.
Later, for some reason, Li Bai returned to the Western Regions, and in the opening of this secret realm, he was the first to sense it and rushed over.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Arthur looking for something.
He and Arthur were also old acquaintances, but when he asked Arthur, Arthur made a look of ignorance.
Li Bai didn't say a word.
Arthur, who does not have the sword of victory of the oath in his hand, where will he be the opponent of Li Bai, who almost shook the Tang Dynasty alone?
A poem, a bucket of wine, a long song, a sword world.
Arthur's shoulder armor was shattered, and the golden giant sword was opened, and he quickly turned around and ran, wanting to call the dragon to fight for two to one, so that there might be a slight chance of victory.
Long Zheng looked at Li Bai, who was chasing after him in the air, and Arthur, who was crawling and embarrassed, and slapped his forehead.
"Run!"
This was the wisest decision for Long Zheng, and as soon as he turned around, he stepped into the golden gate.
Arthur took a deep breath and at the same time kept opening the Shield of Oaths, increasing his movement speed, and suddenly took two swords in the back before rushing into the golden door.
Li Bai stopped in front of the Golden Gate and retracted his three-foot sword from its scabbard.
He picked up the wine gourd, took a sip, and shook his head: "With such strength, how to pass through the secret realm is really whimsical." ”
Turning his head and looking at the sky, Li Bai narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered, "This time, it's really a bit lively." I didn't expect so many people to be in the Western Regions, and they sensed the opening of the secret realm. It doesn't matter, it's a big deal to kill one person in ten steps, and you won't stay for a thousand miles. ”
As soon as the words fell, he also stepped into the golden door.
After a while, two more figures fell and stopped in front of the door.
A bald-headed monk with a shirtless body, wearing a golden fist armor and a huge Buddha bead around his neck, wearing a robe and battle armor on his lower body, folded his hands, and softly chanted Buddha names such as "Amitabha".
The other man was full of murderous aura, with long purple hair, purple robes, a mask the color of black iron, sharp eyes, and a blade armor tied to his right hand, which could extend a sharp thorn at any time to harvest the lives of his enemies.
The monk nodded and greeted: "King Lanling." ”
King Lanling returned the salute: "Bodhidharma." ”
Both of them are people from the Western Regions, their countries are ruined, but their strength is sky-high, far from being comparable to those heroes who are still fighting in the King's Canyon today.
After they said hello, there was a moment of silence.
Then, step into the golden gate together.
After a while, people continued to arrive.
This time, it was three traversers who came together.
Two men and one woman, among them, one man is handsome and chic, with extraordinary appearance, the other man is muscular, strong and powerful, and the rest of the women are delicate and lovely, quite beautiful.
"I feel that this world is going to be different because of our arrival." So said the handsome man.
The muscular man nodded in agreement.
The woman smiled: "This world, the previous great evolution of the whole people, was prepared for us, right?" ”
"I think so, too." The handsome man nodded, smiled very gently, and said, "Since we are all on a mission and moving towards the strongest, then the protagonist's aura must be on us." Who can take the opportunity in this secret realm except us? ”
The muscular man laughed and said, "I can't wait!" ”
The handsome man Zhen Saiqi, the muscular man Mu Naozhi, and the beautiful woman Lu Lengniang stepped into the golden gate together.
"Whew."
A gust of yellow sand was swept up by the wind and spread everywhere.
In the heavens and on the earth, one after another, people kept coming, and at a glance they could find the conspicuous golden door, and step into it without hindrance.
The lonely Western Regions after the Tang Iron Horse stepped on it had not been so lively for a long time.
