There are two options to go from Yuhang to Guanzhong and Chang'an, one is to take a boat through Yangzhou, follow the Grand Canal built by Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, cross Luoyang, and finally enter Chang'an Guanzhong through Luoyang.

Another option, of course, is to walk on horseback and by car, which is not much different from the route of the waterway.

After thinking for a while, Liu Jian gave up the idea of taking a boat by water and chose to take the land route instead.

The reason is very simple, because Du Fuwei, the governor of Jianghuai, has now blocked the north-south passage from Yangzhou to Luoyang, in order to trap Yang Guang, the big dusk monarch who went south to Yangzhou and sang 'but begging for death to see Yangzhou Yue, and not wanting to return to the six dragons alive'.

If you take the waterway to the north, you will inevitably encounter Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army. Although the Dongming faction is somewhat powerful, everyone's scruples about the Dongming faction are more due to the fact that the Dongming faction operates the world's weapons trading and adheres to a neutral position, rather than an existence like Song Valve, which no one dares to provoke easily.

Liu Jian is not afraid of Du Fuwei and even less afraid of his Jianghuai army, but he is afraid of trouble. The purpose of his coming out this time was just to go to the treasure house of Yang Gong in Chang'an to take out the relics of the Evil Emperor and bring them to Medea for study, by the way...... Traveling in the mountains and rivers to change the mood, neither out to make trouble, nor out to kill.

Conflict can be avoided.

Before going to Chang'an, Liu Jian decided to make a trip to Yangzhou Jiangdu first.

For the sake of longevity.

In a series of Huang Yi's works, the Four Great Wonder Books play an important role in each of them. Liu Jian has a great interest in the four great strange books, whether it is the broken "God of War Catalogue" or the Taoist treasure "The Secret of Eternal Life". The Demon Gate Inheritance is the Heavenly Demon Strategy, or the Cihang Sword Codex, which is considered to be the most unworthy of the name among the four great wonder books, if possible. Liu Jian didn't want to let go of any of the four strange books, and there was no need to practice the martial arts on it. But it's a must-do to do some research.

Among the four strange books, the "God of War Catalogue" is hidden in the God of War Temple, and Liu Jian doesn't know how to open the broken place, and it seems that the God of War Temple itself will continue to move. At this time, the devil knows what kind of nook and cranny that thing is hiding. Therefore, even if Liu Jian wanted to study the "God of War Catalogue", there was no place to start.

In addition, the "Cihang Sword Codex" is the highest martial arts book of Cihang Jingzhai, which is placed in the Cihang Jingzhai of Emperor Ta Peak. "Heavenly Demon Strategy" has long been scattered among the two factions and six realms with the passage of time and the internal strife of the Demon Gate.

Neither of these martial arts has a clear location, but the problem is that it will be quite troublesome to get them. Whether it is the two factions and the six realms or the group of nuns who are Emperor Peak, they are not good characters. It's hard to deal with offending any one, let alone offending two at the same time?

Although Liu Jian has the ability to fight the world alone, he has no interest in fighting the world alone. Trouble this thing can be avoided, how discordant is it to fight and kill?

Breaking through the emperor's peak, exterminating the Yin Sect, and snatching the "Cihang Sword Codex" and "Heavenly Demon Strategy" into his hands, it was simply crisp and cool, but the trouble that followed was so big that Liu Jian frowned when he thought about it.

So in the end, only "The Recipe for Eternal Life" remained. This thing is the easiest to get your hands on, as it is very likely to be in the hands of Shi Long, the owner of the Yangzhou City Shilong Martial Arts Pavilion.

After staying in Yuhang for so many days, Liu Jian basically figured out the current point in time. The story of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" should not have begun yet. Yu Wenhua did not issue a sea fishing document to capture the two Yangzhou gangsters. There was no news about Yang Gong's treasure house in the world. It's just that Fu Junwu, a disciple of Fu Cailin, a sword master in Goryeo, boldly assassinated Yang Guang, and the news spread all over the world.

Thinking about this time, Fu Junwu should not have had time to spread the news about Yang Gong's treasure house, so as to cause the world's heroes to compete and then cause chaos in the world. Yu Wenhua and should not have arrived in Yangzhou, the capital of Jiang, to force Shilong, the mountain pusher, to hand over the secret of longevity, and the two gangsters in Yangzhou naturally have not yet encountered the storm that can make them incarnate into Tianlong.

Go to Yangzhou at this time. It was the right time to take the Immortal Secret from the stone dragon's hand.

As for what Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling should do after they got the longevity formula?

Hehe, it's my business.

In fact, Liu Jian was very interested in taking a look. Without the longevity recipe, which brought Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling from the ruined temple in Yangzhou City to the world, this Yangzhou Shuanglong can hand over other good fortunes, and see the weathered dragon. Or since then, the Yangzhou double rat has been born in Yangzhou for the rest of his life.

It's also quite interesting to disrupt the inherent plot, and then watch the runaway plot run out of control like a wild horse running out of a new direction and a new path.

Yangzhou since the development of the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty, has been the world's first class of rich land, not to mention anything else, the martial arts hall alone is dozens, if the scale of prestige, then the first by Yangzhou's first master 'push the mountain' Shi Long personally founded the stone dragon martial arts museum.

However, in recent years, Shi Long has rarely come to the venue to manage affairs, and all the business is taken care of by the disciples, but because his name is hung on the martial arts field, people from near and far are still on the way.

Shi Long's internal and external skills have reached the realm of first-rate masters, otherwise he would not be able to break into a huge reputation in the rivers and lakes and maintain his fame for decades. This person has a good nature, celibate and does not marry, since a few months ago to find the Taoist supreme treasure book "longevity formula", he lives alone in a small village on the outskirts of the city, staying at home, all day long immersed in the study and playing of this Taoist secret treasure book "longevity formula", even the necessities of life are regularly sent by the apprentice.

According to the oral tradition of the past dynasties, this book comes from the ancient Yellow Emperor's teacher Guangchengzi, written in oracle bone inscription, profound and difficult to understand, the sages have read this book, although there is no lack of wisdom through the world, but no one can understand and decipher the whole book. There are 7,400 glyphs in the book, but only about 3,000 glyphs have been deciphered. The book is also densely packed with annotations from those who have read the book, but they are often more confusing than the original text. Fortunately, there are seven humanoid figures in the book, none of which are oriented towards each other, and are guided by various symbols such as red dots and arrows, as if they are describing a certain method of cultivation, but those who do not understand its meaning can not practice, and if they reluctantly follow one of the symbols to stimulate their internal qi. Immediately, the blood is churning, and as it goes, it will go crazy. It's dangerous.

The stone dragon has been in close proximity to this book for several years, but still has found nothing. It's like a treasure in front of you, but there is no key to open the door. When I meditated on this day, an alarm suddenly appeared in my heart, and I couldn't concentrate on the treasure book, and I was groaning, and a soft sound came from outside the court door. Shi Long hurriedly took the treasure book into his arms, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he sighed and said, "Your Excellency is here." Please come in and have a cup of hot tea! ”

At this time, there was a sound of laughter outside the door: "Haha, I haven't lost the name of the first master in Yangzhou." How to mention martial arts for the time being, your characterization is very good, at least your characterization is worthy of my high glance at you. ”

With laughter, the door opened. I saw a long figure outside the door. The man was in his twenties, nearly nine feet tall, with ape arms and a bee waist, and a face like a crown of jade. With eyes like a star, wearing a strange black power suit leather suit (trench coat and leather coat, a reference to the Matrix Neo), he has a majestic spirit on his body.

Shi Long saw it. I couldn't help but praise in my heart for a handsome and heroic young man, I don't know which one it is.

He has a deep cultivation, and his complexion remains unchanged even if his mind moves. Still sitting on the chair, he said lightly: "I look at this little brother's essence and long introverted breath, so that I can't even see the depth, obviously he is already a first-class person in the world." Having such an unfathomable cultivation at such a young age really makes Shi Long ashamed of himself, I don't know what to call this little brother? ”

"Liu Jian."

"Liu Jian." Shi Long frowned slightly in thought. Then his face changed and he said: "Didn't you help the Dongming faction and retreat from Yuwen Chengdu's Liu Jian in person." ”

"It's just down there."

"Don't speak dark words in front of the bright." Liu Jian smiled, naturally sat down opposite Shi Long, reached out and picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all before saying, "Shi Long, since I came, you should also guess why I came." Give me the "Recipe for Longevity", and I will turn around and leave. ”

Shi Long secretly said that it was indeed the case, since he had obtained the immortality formula, he had not been worried about the arrival of this day for a day.

Just because there are too many people in the world who covet this "Recipe for Longevity", who in the world doesn't want to cultivate immortality into immortals? Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Yang Guang's faint monarch has been secretly visiting the "Recipe of Eternal Life" for nearly ten years, and Shi Long is really worried that one day the secret of the "Recipe of Eternal Life" in his hands will be concealed by Yang Guang's faint monarch who learned that he sent someone to snatch it.

Shi Long was not afraid of death, but was worried that this "Recipe for Eternal Life" would fall into the hands of Yang Guang, the tyrant.

Yang Guang's subordinates are full of talents, and with their collective efforts, they may be able to decipher all the oracle bone inscriptions in the book and master the key to immortality.

It's just that now, Yang Guang still didn't know where the "Recipe for Longevity" was and didn't send someone to snatch it, but the person in front of him arrived first.

"Actually, you should thank me." Liu Jian smiled and said: "It's been several years since you got the "Recipe of Longevity", and you haven't found anything in the past few years, and the thing of "Recipe of Longevity" is not something you can study and understand." Moreover, I estimate that Yang Guang is also about to know the news of the "Longevity Formula" in your hands, and hand over the "Longevity Formula" to me, so that you and your disciples will not be able to avoid a catastrophe, isn't this just right? ”

In fact, Shi Long has been getting the "Recipe of Longevity" for several years, and he has gained nothing for several years, and he has long felt that he may not have a chance with the "Recipe of Longevity", and his thoughts about cracking the secret of "Recipe of Longevity" have faded a lot. But even so, it is absolutely impossible for Shi Long to hand over the "Recipe of Longevity" because of a word from others. Therefore, Shi Long resolutely said: "Shi Long is not a person who lies and deceives others, since this Excellency has come to the door, Shi has categorically not denied it to the end." Yes, the elixir is in Shi's hands, but since you want to take away the "Longevity Formula", let Shi see if you have the ability to take the "Longevity Formula". ”

The stone dragon stood up suddenly, his clothes bulged, and a strong qi formed a whirlpool, which stirred around the stone dragon, and the nearby furniture rolled and cracked like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, scattering into pieces.

"Shi also heard that the Dongming did not make a move against His Excellency Yuwen Chengdu, but asked a concubine next to him to cut Yuwen Chengdu's hair bun and scare Yuwen Chengdu away. Today, Shi wants to see if your Excellency's ability is really as miraculous as rumored! ”

"Speaking of which, we still have to do it." Liu Jian smiled, he didn't care.

People in the martial arts, no matter how nice it sounds, the basic rule is that after all, the boss with a big fist is the boss. Whether it is in Jin Yong's martial arts, or in Gu Long's martial arts, or now in Huang Yi's martial arts, this rule is always common in the world.

And Liu Jian is not disgusted with this rule.

Because his fist is big enough.

At least, far bigger than the stone dragon's fist.

"One punch!" Rushing to boost the true qi of the whole body, Liu Jian slowly raised a finger: "Shilong, as long as you can block my punch, I don't want the "Recipe of Eternal Life" either, and leave Yangzhou immediately, as long as you Shilong is in Yangzhou for a day, I, Liu Jian, will not step into Yangzhou City for half a step!" ”

One punch!

Shi Long couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this!

He Shilong is from a poor family, only in this Yangzhou City has a small reputation, although known as the first master in Yangzhou, Shi Long also knows that there are countless masters in the world, and his first master in Yangzhou is purely a tall one among the short people.

But even so, after all, he Shilong has been cultivating for many years, and his internal and external skills have reached the first-class realm in the rivers and lakes, even a grandmaster-level master cannot have a perfect grasp of a move to defeat himself!

Is this young man in his twenties, confident, or too arrogant?

"Okay, if Shi is really not the enemy of your punch, Shi will offer it with both hands!" Before the words fell, Shi Long had already let out a long roar, his feet swept through the space without hesitation, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Yu Wenhua and his body, pushed forward with both palms, and his strength rose wildly, and immediately rushed towards Liu Jian like a storm.

The Yuwen family is the most famous for its own valve master, Yuwen Injury, and below it is the four masters, and Yuwen Chengdu is one of them.

Since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, one of the characteristics is that the powerful clan developed by generations of noble families, some are called Gaomen or Gate Valve, which are clearly distinguished from the Shu clan of ordinary people.

The so-called 'upper grade has no poor door, and lower grade has no powerful family'.

Economically and politically, the nobles enjoyed great privileges. It was not until Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, ruled the world and won the imperial examination, and the situation of the gate valve monopolizing everything was slightly broken. But the gate valve is still unwielding, and the four surnames of the gate valve that are famous in the rivers and lakes refer to the four powerful families surnamed Yuwen, Li, Dugu and Song, who have huge influence in politics, economy and martial arts.

The people of Yuwen Valve, Shi Long has not been in contact. But Shi Long knew very well that the master of the gate valve had been able to cultivate superior martial arts since he was a child, and the pills were even more sufficient, far from being comparable to a martial artist like himself. Yuwen Chengdu is not the opponent of this person's concubine, even if this person's martial arts are not far above that concubine, at least they are not about the same. In this way, he is never an opponent.

The only chance is to be the first to strike!

Therefore, Shi Long not only chose to shoot first, but also used all his strength as soon as he shot, and what he performed was his own unique stunt mountain pusher! (To be continued.) )
