In the blink of an eye, another month passed.

The time has come to the end of the lunar month.

If it is placed in the Great Week, it is already the end of winter and spring, and the weather is gradually getting warmer. But the winter of Great Summer comes later and goes later than that of Great Zhou, which is more so the further north you go.

The group has already reached the border of Longzhou, and in two or three days, they will go to Yanzhou.

Along the way, Yan Chu's bold temperament was gradually recognized by everyone, and he no longer got along with Xu Han and others, everyone had nothing to say, and they got along very well.

That night.

It was snowing heavily in the small town on the border of Longzhou, and the pedestrians on the streets looked hurried.

Chu Qiuli reluctantly accompanied Mr. Wei to the stall in the snow, while Xu Han and the others sat leisurely in the tavern downstairs of the inn, eating good wine and food, and tasting warm wine.

Even Woo and Xuan'er seemed to enjoy such a comfortable and comfortable scene very much, curling up at Xu Han's feet, squinting and napping.

"This sword bearer's conference is not simple. Maybe it was because he drank a few glasses of sake, and Yan Qi said more, he looked at the wind and snow outside the house, and suddenly said.

Ning Zhumang on the side was a little anxious because he hadn't waited for Fang Ziyu's news for a long time, and said casually perfunctorily: "The sword bearer's conference, once every five years, will naturally not be simple. ”

But Yan Chu shook his head at that time, and said, "What's more, I heard that the winner of this sword bearer conference can not only obtain the identity of the sword bearer, but also have a chance to enter the Longyin Temple Demon Suppression Tower. ”

"Demon Suppression Tower?" Xu Han and Ning Zhumang, who were from the Great Zhou Dynasty, obviously hadn't heard of such a thing, and their faces showed doubts for a while.

"According to legend, it is a thing left by the ancients, which suppresses the ancient demons, but if the monk steps into it to cross the layers of demonic obstacles and strengthen the Dao heart, he will get many benefits, so this tower has always been a famous place for the training of Great Xia, in the past, if it was not for the sword bearer who made great contributions, it was almost impossible to enter this tower, but now for some reason, the Longyin Temple will relax such harsh conditions, but the various sects that have long been coveted by it will inevitably send many outstanding monks to participate in this sword bearer conference..."

Speaking of this, Yan Qi's face, which had always had a hearty smile, couldn't help but show a dignified look.

Chixiaomen did not give up the pursuit of him and Xue Ning, although he did not have much coveting of the Demon Suppression Tower, but now his situation can only make Chixiaomen fearful by becoming a sword-wielding person.

"Even Brother Yan is not completely sure?" Xu Han couldn't help but ask when he heard this.

According to the news he has learned these days, although the sword bearer is formed by the Longyin Temple, and the conditions given are also rich, but the various sects are obviously not willing to send the disciples they have cultivated with great difficulty here, so the composition of the sword bearers is more of the disciples of some small sects and even some Jianghu rangers, and their cultivation is naturally not too high, so the participation of a Dayan Realm powerhouse such as Yan Chop or Ning Zhumang in such a battle should be foolproof in the previous situation.

"In the past, those great sects were reluctant to give up their disciples, but now not only is there the temptation of the Demon Suppression Tower, but even the tenure of the sword bearers in the past ten years has become five years, so that those disciples, even those elder deacons who have been trapped in the Great Yan Realm for many years, may not be able to sit still. With five years of experience, in exchange for an admission ticket to the Demon Suppression Tower, if you are lucky, you may even have an epiphany in the tower and reach the realm of immortals, after all, there seems to be no shortage of such precedents before, therefore, this sword wielding conference will not be easy. Yan said in a deep voice, his face becoming more and more gloomy.

After all, what he needed to consider was not only himself, but also Xue Ning, who was not outstanding in cultivation beside him...

It seemed that he also smelled that the atmosphere on the wine table was too dull, Ning Zhumang smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand, and said to Yan: "It's also very strange to say, this Great Xia Immortal has already passed the number of ten fingers, if the imperial court asks for four or five people to go out of the mountain, whether it is the Great Zhou or the Chen State, it is already in the bag, since Li Yulin has great ambitions, but he doesn't know..."

This remark succeeded in diverting the previous topic.

Yan Chu groaned slightly and said: "You don't know, this entry into the realm of immortals, unless you are a royal family member can not participate in the battle of the royal court, it is a four-party covenant that was made thousands of years ago. ”

"The Four-Party Covenant?" Xu Han, who had been listening for a long time, couldn't help but pick up the conversation at this time and asked.

He had heard this rhetoric before, that is, during the battle of Dahuangcheng, Mu Ji revealed his immortal cultivation, and the heartbroken Cui Guozhu seemed to have uttered words similar to Mu Ji's violation of the Quartet Covenant.

"......" Xu Han and Ning Zhumang's doubts made Yan stunned for a moment, but soon he smiled and said, "Yan forgot that the two of them are not from Great Xia, and it is normal not to know about this Quartet Alliance. ”

"The so-called four-party covenant is the covenant made thousands of years ago by the four sects of the Southern Wilderness Sword Tomb, Qingzhou Daomen, Yanzhou Longyin Temple and Taiyin Palace. ”

"But whether it's this Sword Tomb or the Dao Gate, it's just a sect after all, how can it still interfere with the overall situation of the court?" Xu Han was puzzled.

"Brother Xu only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. Yan Chu smiled again when he heard this, and said: "From the Great Departure Dynasty to the Great Chu Dynasty, although there are occasional internal troubles, in the final analysis, they are all great unified dynasties, and the four-party covenant is naturally impossible to talk about, until hundreds of years ago, the Great Chu Dynasty fell apart, and the world was divided into three, and the four-party covenant was passed down through these four sects, but it was not available to everyone, but it was cultivated as a monk who came to the immortal realm or in the eyes of the four major sects could get the content of the four-party covenant. It's also because I was in the Demon Heaven Gate before that I knew one or two of them..."

"Legend has it that the founding sects of the four major sects are all ordered by heaven and perform their own duties. ”

"Longyin Temple is responsible for transforming the world, Jianling is responsible for guarding the fierce sword, Daomen Qinglian Temple is responsible for deterring the demon clan, and Taiyin Palace is responsible for guarding the void. ”

"The four of them perform their own duties and maintain the stability of this world, such an existence, do Brother Xu think they have the ability to interfere in the overall situation of the court?"

Hearing this, Xu Han was stunned, it was the first time he had heard of such a statement, and it was inevitable that he would not be able to digest it at the first time, and he nodded after a while, "In this way, it is Xu who is shallow..."

"Brother Xu, what are these words, this has nothing to do with knowledge, it's just because the Longyin Temple in Daxia is still quite active in the rivers and lakes, and it is not as hidden in the world as the Qingzhou Daomen, otherwise how would someone Yan know this?" Yan Chu waved his hand and smiled, and drank another glass of sake as he spoke, and his face suddenly flushed a little, Xue Ning on the side was quite well-behaved, and poured him a glass at that time.

"Well, what Brother Yan said should be true. Ning Zhumang, who was on the side, took over the conversation at that time and said: "I have heard Shizun say in the past, these four major sects have been inherited for thousands of years, and it seems that they have existed since the beginning of history, even if those powerful dynasties come and go, they still stand..."

Speaking of this, Ning Zhumang's tone suddenly became a little lower, perhaps thinking of the dilemma of Linglong Pavilion now.

However, Yan Shu, who didn't know where Ning Zhumang came from, couldn't empathize with this, he shook his head, and snatched the words under Xue Ning's somewhat coquettish gaze and said, "Brother Ning's words are wrong..."

"What about the other three sects, Yan can't know, but as far as Yan knows, it is the Qinglian Temple of Daomen, a place where great changes took place thousands of years ago. ”

Probably drunk, Yan Qi's face rarely showed a bit of intentional mystery, and he also dragged on in a long tone when he spoke, which aroused the appetite of Xu Han and Ning Zhumang.

Although the two didn't ask, the curiosity in their eyes still greatly satisfied Yan Shu's small sense of accomplishment at this moment.

He said in a low voice: "It is rumored that thousands of years ago, the Dao Sect was not completely hidden from the world as it is now, but among the descendants, there was a person with great talent. ”

"This person had the potential to ascend to the realm of immortals at a young age, and at that time, he could be said to be highly valued by the Dao Gate. The man's fame soon spread throughout the world, and he became acquainted with a woman in the course of his experience. The two were talented men and women, and they were a well-known fairy couple at that time. ”

But later, after a certain war, the woman suddenly revealed her true body, which was actually a monster from the depths of the 100,000 mountains. ”

This matter was in a uproar in the rivers and lakes at that time, and the Taoist seemed to be fighting with the Daomen for this, and it is unknown how it was exact, but in the end, the Daomen changed the court and was in charge of the Daomen. The name was also changed to today's Qinglian Temple, and then it was completely hidden from the world. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Chu paused, winked at Xu Han and Ning Zhumang, and asked, "Do you two think this story is a little familiar?"

Xu Han and Ning Zhumang glanced at each other and suddenly came to their senses.

"This is the story played out in Mr. Wei's shadow puppet show!"

"Exactly..."Yan Shu nodded, and was about to say something more, but at that time, the half-hidden door of the inn was suddenly pushed open, and the wind and snow outside the house whistled into it.

And Chu Qiuli also stepped in at that time, followed by Mr. Wei, who was still carrying a large wooden box.

"Ah! Grandpa Chu is cold, is there still any wine?" Chu Qiuli still had that big grinning temperament, sat down beside Xu Han, and asked in a shout.

But Mr. Wei unexpectedly did not speak to everyone, frowned through the hall, and walked to his door tremblingly.

"Is this...?"

Xu Han, who saw Mr. Wei's strange appearance, was a little strange.

"Sensei. Chu Qiuli drank a glass of wine handed by Yan Chop, and then said: "This old guy is very strange, there are not many pedestrians on the snow street today, and finally a team of pedestrians who look like darts came, and they made a generous move and rewarded him with a tael of silver, and he was unhappy again... You said that he was not happy to make money, and he couldn't do it if he didn't pay for it, I really don't know what he was thinking in his head, isn't he old and confused?"

Chu Qiuli, who opened the chatterbox, complained vigorously.

A tael of silver...

Xu Han's heart suddenly moved when he heard this, he sounded that after he gave the old gentleman a tael of silver before, they met Chu Qiuli's matter, and Yan Qi also almost died under the pursuit of the Chixiao Gate after giving a tael of silver, the key is that Mr. Guan Wei seemed to have expected it after receiving such a reward...

"Who is the person who gave the money? Do you know?" asked Xu Han.

"Then how can it be clear?" Chu Qiuli said indistinctly as he ate the delicious food on the table: "A female baby, born beautifully and tightly, followed by four big men, each of whom is tall and big, seems to call the woman what her name is... Boss Zhen..."
