Chapter Twenty-Eight: There Are Chivalrous Pleasures and Hatreds

I didn't go far from the post road and saw Bianbei City, and it was almost noon, so I just went in to have some food, and I wanted to solve the post horse matter.

There are not many people on the streets of the city, and judging from the costumes, most of them are people in the rivers and lakes, because they are wearing all kinds of weapons, and there are even a lot of magic weapons that exude a faint halo, and they are not wrapped, which is very eye-catching, which is completely showing off, or warning, "Lao Tzu is very powerful, you should be careful", it seems that the temple and the matter of pure gold have not completely stopped.

When it comes to magic weapons, unlike before the Millennium War, people now generally treat magic weapons and magic weapons as the same thing, and the magic weapon should be a combination of magic weapons and weapons.

During the millennium war, as the scale of the war got out of control, almost everyone was involved, and the warlocks were no longer as high as before in the army, and they also had to charge into battle; spells actually had great limitations, and the release of slow consumption and limited power was the main problem, and magic weapons were created and widely used for this, but they only made up for the shortcomings to a certain extent, and they were still much worse than the free retraction of martial arts;

It was also at this time that people paid more attention to the physique, and the warlock didn't want to endure hardships and work hard to refine the body like martial arts, so he came up with various methods to develop the physique, including the combination with the desolate demon clan, not to mention this, in fact, magic weapons are not common in today's world.

The reason is very simple, several materials for making magic weapons are mainly produced in the Great Wilderness, and even in the depths of the Great Wilderness, even the wilderness is difficult to reach, of course, there are also production in various parts of Middle Earth, but the quality and quantity are very small, like the recent more than 30 catties of Taiyi Essence Gold is enough to make people fight for their heads and blood, it is also a little strange to say, the imperial court's reaction to this is not strong, Bu Yanwu is still wandering around, those monitoring stations in the ghost Fang Xiaodang are still doing their own business, and the Xuanwu Army is more patrolling and maintaining law and order.

After walking for a while, I saw the post house, there were many people surrounded by a wall at the door, most of them were Jianghu monks, Zheng Yan was curious to go over and see that it was a bulletin board, with eight portraits pasted on it, it turned out to be a wanted criminal who did murder and goods these days, in addition to the specific description and the attached reward, the price of catching alive and taking the head is different, the highest price is five hundred taels, and the lowest one is also two hundred taels, obediently, this is much stronger than killing people and goods, touching the package, in addition to the money for the post horse, it is enough to reach the clan land, but when he returns, he will definitely be a little tight, but thinking of his cultivation still dispelled the idea of making a windfall。

First of all, I went into the post house to solve the horse matter, and unexpectedly spent twenty taels of silver, and went to the restaurant next door to find something to eat, and only sorghum stewed rice was about cheaper for a long time, and the restaurant here was the same as Luoyang, the name of the dish was not marked with a price, and the guy looked like he was ignoring, and he didn't say a word and ran to greet other guests, which made Zheng Yan's shy heart very entangled for a long time.

Zheng Yan regretted it when the sorghum stewed rice came up, in addition to the sorghum rice, there were also diced radish, mutton, raisins, walnut kernels, peanut grains, diced mushrooms and a lot of other ingredients, the amount was large enough, it was estimated that there were two catties, but it was really fragrant to eat, and when I checked out, I learned that it was eighty wen, which was really expensive, but it was worth it when I thought about it.

I went to the post house to get the horse card, because there was a bad record of losing the horse, so the horse card was collected when the horse was changed, and then changed back when the horse was handed over at the post station below, in fact, I didn't need to hand over the horse card because I held the seal of the criminal department, and I did have to hand over the horse card back according to the regulations.

When I went out of the city, I had to pass through the central street of Bianbei City, and when I passed by a small square, I unexpectedly saw that a martial arts competition was being held to recruit relatives, which was new, and Zheng Yan couldn't help but stop and look at it for a while.

Generally, the competition is rarely held in the name of recruiting relatives, mostly recruiting guards and guards, the main family is also to show their strength, I think it is also the reason why the monks of Bianbei City have gathered recently, look at the appearance and body of the candidates during the competition, look at the martial arts character, do not necessarily win, as long as the eyes can become, but today this competition made it clear that they want to recruit relatives, and the young lady who recruited relatives is sitting in the stands, in her twenties, there are some pretty flowers and moons, and the temperament is more cheerful and lively, and many people in the audience are a little enthusiastic.

Most of the people who went up to compete were young people, and there were also some middle-aged people in their forties, and there were already some sophistication and vicissitudes in their faces, and it was easy to see that the young lady in the stands didn't seem to be disgusted with the people in the upper grades, so that the people below were a little lively.

The rules of the competition, first of all, the self-reported division went out to send the origin, and then the age of the realm, after listening to the host read out the rules in the competition, the official confrontation began, among which there are some monks who refine and refine the qi to challenge the realm of refining the gods and turning the void, which is not surprising, because it is a wheel war, and many people who go up to the competition will not choose to use magic or consume too much martial arts, but more by virtue of skills and physical strength, so there is the possibility of leapfrogging the challenge.

In the end, it is a person who has been crawling and rolling on the rivers and lakes all the year round, and the competition is very interesting, different from those in the house who only kill and embroider the legs between the powerful, the current competition seems to be more ritualistic, but there is a ruthless and resourceful hidden in the ceremony, which is very chewy. Just when Zheng Yan was looking at it with relish, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was the uncle he met when he just came out of Luoyang, who was smiling and looking at himself, Zheng Yan was a little happy for some reason.

"Don't you go up, that girl looks good, her front bulge and back pouting crotch are wide and her waist is thin, and she looks like she is a little hung for eight points, I heard that my father is still a captain in the Xuanwu Army, and Bu Yanwu's cronies."

The uncle said with a smile, but the meaning of the words was a little ridiculous, Zheng Yan was a little embarrassed, and he was not used to chatting with people he didn't know well in this way, so he only said that he had it at home, and hurriedly changed the topic,

"These days, I have been delayed for a few days in the west somewhere, and I have been hanging in the water for two days, and I still think that the uncle has gone to Yudanzhou, and the affairs of Bianbei City are finished?",

The uncle smiled and nodded, and then looked at Zheng Yan a little strangely, "Why did you run away to Shuize?

Zheng Yan said helplessly, "I was caught in a black mine first, and after escaping, I couldn't tell the direction for a long time, the spirit was nothing, and I was almost skinned alive by the people inside."

The uncle smiled and nodded, "People are indeed more terrible than spirits, I'm going to Yudanzhou, I saw you on the street just now and came to say hello, if you really like that girl, I'll help you take it down",

Zheng Yan hurriedly waved his hand, and finally the two of them squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the north gate together, after a few gossips on the way, the uncle suddenly became a little strange, and asked with a smile, "Do you already know who I am?"

Zheng Yan glanced at his uncle's brown sheath long sword and said tentatively, "Sword Immortal He Xifeng?",

The middle-aged man smiled, waved his hand and said, "Forget the sword immortal, every time I hear someone say this, I always feel twisted, you can see that this 'wind roar sword' also said to visit relatives in Baoyue City, presumably from the Zheng family, the status is not low",

Zheng Yan nodded and said, "Zheng Yan, Xingba, Uncle Kaiyuan mentioned uncle in the letter",

It was He Xifeng, who was the Great Qin Sword Immortal, and said with a hearty smile, "I don't think I said anything good, right? The two of us actually don't have any friendship, every time we meet, we pat our butts and leave, never say a word of nonsense, didn't Mr. Qiu mention me?",

Zheng Yan felt that the tone of the question behind the sword immortal in front of him seemed to be a little expectant, and a little apprehensive, and couldn't help but be a little suspicious, did Qiu Qing have such a big influence? After thinking about it, he still said, "It seems that he didn't say it, he doesn't like to evaluate people very much."

He Xifeng nodded and said, "Well, that's the case, Mr. Qiu has always believed that people have no direct relationship with the sword, and the sword intent is needed to connect and pull, and the sword intent is condensed into the sword heart, the sword is something outside the body after all, and the sword intent and sword heart are the things of their own essence, I have always been obsessed with the sword, he definitely doesn't want to say more, maybe Cui Wei is more and his appetite",

Zheng Yan thought for a while and said, "He also said that Sword Intent and Sword Heart can cheat, and deceiving oneself can also deceive Heavenly Dao."

He Xifeng fell into a stupor when he heard this, and let the mount walk by himself, Zheng Yan took the hand by the hand, a little worried, don't let your words ruin people's sword hearts, right?

After a long time, He Xifeng, who was sitting on horseback when he was about to leave the city, suddenly laughed, took off his long sword and looked at it in a daze, and after a while, he cried again, the people around him seemed to be looking at fools, Zheng Yan felt guilty, did he really break people's sword hearts? When he reached their realm, every step was very delicate, every step could be doomed, and every step could reach the sky, so Zheng Yan didn't dare to disturb, looked at the surrounding and saw that several monks had gathered around, gritted his teeth and held the hilt of the sword.

A heroic middle-aged man in a black suit walked to the south, a scholar in a Confucian shirt carrying a white sheath sword walked to the west, and an old man in a gray shirt squatted at the head of the city not far away, looking at this side with a sneer, and several powerful qi engines rose in the city, rushing towards this side without any scruples.

Zheng Yan threw out a dark red dagger and plunged it into the ground, quickly pinched two tricks, and released a faint red halo with the dagger as the center, encircling He Xifeng, who had fallen into a sluggishness, and at the same time his body suddenly advanced, and the sword light seemed to slash at the old man who had jumped down from the city, the old man was originally as imposing as a rainbow and did not put Zheng Yan who rushed over in his eyes, but as soon as he saw it, he was decomposed by the lightning-fast dense sword moves, and he also cut off a piece of his sleeve by the way,

"Eclipse Wind Sword Technique!Who are you?!",

The old man was full of horror, and he flew back and asked urgently, looking left and right at the same time, as if looking for something,

Zheng Yan reacted quickly, he had always been hunted down by Sister Jingfeng before, and a shadow fell in his heart, otherwise he would not be scared like this, and he was thinking that it would be best to scare him off with a few words, but suddenly the old man's anger was agitated, and he actually pounced on him as if he didn't want to die, no!

The old man should be a relatively pure Huandan monk, for the refining of the body is only a superficial taste, compared to Zheng Yan, the Five Realms martial arts cultivation is slightly worse, Zheng Yan also relies on this to drag him down, but the Wind Eclipse Sword Technique is not an ordinary sword technique, it is to achieve unparalleled speed and intensive moves by accelerating the operation of the true element in the body, so that the pressure on the meridians and the flesh will become greater and greater, if you want to increase the speed again, it is not only the true yuan that is consumed, but also the essence yuan, which is the Shou Yuan in the general sense, in fact, it is still a little reluctant for Zheng Yan to use this set of swordsmanship or exercises, but the opponent is a real earth-level monk who has entered the realm of the tunnel for many years, Fortunately, this old man seems to be a little messy, and a lot of magical powers have not been used.

There was a pair of beautiful young men in the crowd not far away, looking a little conspicuous, Zheng Lu was a little anxious, "What should I do? This guy is dying, why don't you have any consciousness at all!

Zheng Jian glanced at the middle-aged man in a black power suit not far away, and said with some uncertainty, "It's impossible for Bu Yanwu to stand by and watch, right? Sister Lu, let's go up?"

When the two were talking, Zheng Yan was knocked out again, Zheng Lu stomped his feet with hatred, tightened the long sword in his hand and was about to rush over, but was suddenly stopped by an old man, "Young man, don't be impulsive, wait a little longer."

The two teenagers were happy at first, and then they were full of puzzlement, and the old man continued with a smile, "It is said that Yukun is the best fist and foot kung fu of the younger generation in the clan, and Xingye is the best in swordsmanship, don't you want to be curious about his strengths?"

As the old man appeared, the two of them had already let go of their tense hearts, and Zheng Lu said with disdain on his face, "Just him, they don't deserve to lift shoes to Brother Xingye, and they are still refining and refining qi, and they have lost such good conditions, and they are from the royal family and the master of Sedum Prison to guide."

Zheng Jian hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Brother Zheng Yan is very powerful, steady and ruthless, the change of moves is extremely fast and the amplitude is small, there is nothing superfluous, and he can also exert force from many incredible angles, there is almost no lag, the moves seem to belong to the realm of ingenuity, in fact, there are many places where there are the shadow of the grandmaster and even the spirit realm, I think they are more powerful than Brother Xingye, and...",

"And what? Then he and Brother Xingye are far behind, but they are resistant to beating", Zheng Lu had already pulled the young man's ears and twisted them twice,

The old man is helpless, the woman is really unreasonable, but this kid can't really compare to those boys who beat this point, and they have been beaten a few times?

Although Zheng Yan is fighting the enemy with all his might, it does not prevent him from seeing and listening to all directions, this is the ability forged by painful training again and again, so he noticed Bu Yanwu standing not far away at the beginning, this guy will definitely make a move, but the premise is that his life is hanging by a thread, he will not care about He Xifeng, or that He Xifeng is better dead, and he is not a master of the Great Zhou, why does he care about a stranger who only has two sides? Okay, the way he looks now seems to be caused by himself.

The old man once again knocked Zheng Yan away, but instead of rushing towards He Xifeng like before, he cast a teleportation escape method and instantly appeared behind Zheng Yan, grabbing Zheng Yan's neck with one hand and patting the Tianling Gai with the other, Zheng Yan saw three figures rushing out of the crowd in different directions out of the corner of Zheng Yan's eyes, one was Bu Yanwu, and the other two couldn't see clearly, when he thought about this, his body had already leaned back violently, and at the same time elbowed the old man's qi sea behind him, and thought that he would probably be carried to Baoyue City.

For a moment, Zheng Yan felt that his surroundings seemed to suddenly fall into stagnation, or dead silence, but He Xifeng, who suddenly appeared in front of him, was alive, and the old man behind him slowly flew upside down towards the city, with a brown sheath long sword nailed to his head, and then He Xifeng grabbed his shoulder, and appeared in three different places in a row in the blink of an eye, killing one person at a time, and the next moment he returned to the city gate, and then appeared on the post road together with two horses.

Looking at the long sword and dagger that had been sheathed in his hand, and subconsciously touched the stagecoach sitting down, Zheng Yan looked at He Xifeng who was full of sighs on the side, He Xifeng had already clamped the horse's belly and walked forward, turned his head and smiled, "I thought you didn't like to see that Bu Yanwu, especially didn't want to see him trying to save you, so I brought you here",

Zheng Yan caught up with his horse, and glanced back at the small Bianbei City, which was seven or eight miles away, and then began to feel some palpitations, "I'm blinded, I can't understand, is it convenient to say?"

He Xifeng smiled, took off the gourd and took a sip of wine, " What can't be said about this, everyone will realize one or two supernatural powers at the bottom of the box after entering the realm of the tunnel, mine is just speed, I think you are no stranger to it, and the same is true of Qiu Jingfeng, who scared the old devil, but the situation of the two of us is different, the supernatural power she realized is to make the senses faster than others, in our opinion, a quarter of an hour of time she can see half an hour, so that you only need to speed up the speed of the body, and I directly obtained the magic power to speed up the body, but the senses can't keep up anyway, so I can only rely on foreign objects, such as swords, and over time it becomes dependent, which is a very troublesome thing for monks, it is equivalent to being cocooned and self-bound, or the legs and feet of people on crutches are becoming more and more unable to walk."

"After listening to your relays of Mr. Qiu's words, I finally had a feeling of breaking the wall, and re-forged a sword heart for myself, not to make myself fast, but to slow down, and after slowing down, I found that the magic power I comprehended was not speed, it was time, time was a river, I just needed to grasp the rhythm of its flow, and then split out my sword qi, the few scenes you saw were just the mind was pulled by my sword qi, in fact, we have been at the gate of the city, but in the end I used the magic power to shrink the ground into inches to get here, but your mind can actually keep up, it is really incredible, it should not be like this”,

Zheng Yan felt that it was very laborious to think, according to He Xifeng's meaning, he was standing in place at that time and killed the three people with his sword qi, but that sword qi seemed to be able to really stop time, rhythm! It was to grasp the rhythm of time! Okay, I didn't understand it anymore, I thought about it and asked curiously, "What is the gap between the Sword Immortal and the Sword Saint, or the difference?" I feel that this is so powerful, it is simply invincible,

He Xifeng shook his head and said, Zhuang Yunzhan's spiritual point, Cui Wei's landslide, your uncle Zheng Kaiyuan's break, and my fast splitting are not as silent as the drizzle of the Sword Saint Palace, this is difficult to say that it is right, the standard of the strength and weakness of the sword path can never be unified, because the path taken by each sword cultivator is different, if only the power is not accurate, the power is always relatively compatible, so only when the realm reaches a certain level can you see the difference between high and low, but you can't see the strength or weakness, so don't dwell on this kind of problem, just like you can't even send out the sword qi, but you can also entangle with the ground-level monks,

Zheng Yan was a little embarrassed, rubbed his shoulders and said, "I'm in pain from the inside out now, it hurts as if it's tearing, I don't want to fight people like this, by the way, the sword, the sword is still nailed to the city."

He Xifeng waved his hand and said, "Don't do it, don't take it, I've seen the sword qi I just now and then look at the one that is not good for your cultivation, okay, I'll go to Yudanzhou, next time I will go to Luoyang to find you",

Is the horse and the rivers and lakes happy to take revenge? No wonder they all say that He Xifeng is not an immortal, but a chivalrous.
