On Qingfeng Villa, the Bat Demon and Hua Gu got the latest information from the Firefly Yaksha, "Sister Hua, Mo Feiyu, who is not very men, has now arrived at the border of Lujiang River in Anhui. ”

"Yes, yes! Sister Hua, he was still soaking in the hot spring in the hot spring the night before yesterday, I was eavesdropping on the window, and he was splashing me all over the water! ”

"Little cuties, hard work, there is a dead monkey in the garden for you, go eat it. Hua Gu smiled and gently blew some of the glowing fireflies with her mouth.

"Thank you, Sister Hua!" With that, the fireflies flew into the flowers, began to feast, and began to reproduce vigorously, and soon, a trace of blood came from the flowers, and the green fluorophores that kept flickering inside became larger and larger.

Early the next morning, Hua Gu rode the bat demon on the road, and went straight to the Lujiang soup pool, all the way to the clear sky and blue sun, Hua Gu asked with a smile: "Brother Bat, I see that you are also majestic in a purple cloak now, and you can be regarded as the No. 1 character who calls the wind and rain in Qingfeng Villa, what did you do in the early years?"

"Sister Hua, I made you smile. I think I haven't had any opportunities in the past, and I'm idle all day long, and I'm useless. Haha, maybe Maxima was a wild horse before he met Bole, but gold always shines! Those so-called famous and decent people are hypocrites to the bone, I am naturally inferior to them in singing, but their ability is beyond their limits. The bat demon laughed.

"Chance is important, but also talented, I think my husband used to be reused in the very door, and Brother Feng broadcast it a little, and his life immediately opened up. Today, his martial arts are second to none. There is no black and white in the world, only right and wrong, since ancient times, it has been a family of kings and losers, and you don't have to care about the past. Hua Gu smiled.

"Hehe, Brother Wuji is indeed extremely diligent, everyone can see it, and it is reasonable that he has today's achievements. Hehe, I've been busy with the affairs of Tongtian Gambling House recently, and if I have the chance, I must ask Brother Wuji for a trick and a half!" the bat demon complimented.

"Brother Bat, I can see that you have been taking care of the Tongtian Gambling House during this time, and you are still very similar to Wuji. In fact, what really determines a person's achievements is not talent or luck, but strict self-discipline and high-intensity dedication! Brother Feng has been in retreat for more than two years to cultivate the Dafa of Transformation Yuan, and in order to successfully cultivate the Lingxiao Flower Gu, my master even experimented with living people in a city. The secret of success has been verified by countless people, that is: do simple things repeatedly, and repeat things with heart! As long as you follow us and persist in cultivating, you will definitely become stronger in the future!"

"Thank you Sister Hua for your love! Now there are countless Qimen Dunjia, and the martial arts are even more outside the sky, and there are mountains outside the mountains, I don't dare to blind my eyes and underestimate the enemy. I have no relatives except for a young son, if I fall, who will end for me? Brother Feng has so many disciples, how many can be regarded as his own? Living in this world, I can only adapt to the situation and ask for more blessings!" The bat demon flapped his wings, "I have arrived at Hefei Lujiang! In front of him is the highest peak in Hefei - Niuwangzhai. In my early years, I followed my master here to look for exotic flowers and plants. ”

Hua Gu looked in the direction of the bat demon's swooping, and several teams of people and horses on the Niuwang Village were walking to the top of the mountain with gongs and drums, "Brother bat, it's so lively down there, let's go down and see what's going on." ”

"Okay!" the bat demon found a hillside where no one fell, collected his wings, and mixed in with Hua Gu into one of the teams that went up the mountain, and the crowded team was bustling:

"Come on, there is the mother stone in front, if anyone pulls out the sword in the stone this time, it will be the person who is destined to return!"

"I heard my grandparents say that this sword is called Chixiao Sword, when Han Gaozu beheaded the White Snake Uprising, he swept the four seas with the divine power of this sword, and finally forced the overlord of Chu to kill himself in Wujiang and dominate the world!"

"I have also heard, and later this sword fell into the hands of Liu An, the king of Huainan, Liu An devoted himself to the Tao, alchemy and immortals, and took the cats and dogs at home to ascend to heaven, he suddenly found that it was boring to go to the sky with this Chixiao sword, so he threw it away, and the Chixiao sword went straight into the mother's stone, and it has been a thousand years after wind and rain. ”

"Liu An, I know, a prince who has become an immortal. But this Chixiao Sword is said to have no one to pull out!"

"This time is not as good as previous years, this time it is the emperor's hand-picked Minister of Imperial History, Bao Zhengming, who came to hold a sword drawing competition, and those who pulled out the Chixiao sword, the emperor rewarded the yellow coat, sealed the marquis of thousands of households, and gave 100,000 gold. ”

"Brother Bat, I have also heard from the master that this Chixiao Sword is called the Seven Heaven and Earth Divine Swords along with Tai'a, Yu Gut, Chunjun, Ganjiang, Mo Xie, and Zhanlu, and it is definitely not an ordinary thing in the world. Last time in Mount Tai, the Tai'a sword was taken away by the stinky boy in his right arm, and the cadre Mo Xie Sword was also in his hands, and the fish intestine sword was in Mo Feiyu's hand again, if we get this Tai'a sword this time, it will also be a great achievement! Let's try it, is there a chance!" Hua Gu listened to everyone's discussions, and suddenly became interested in this Chixiao sword.

"That Mo Feiyu is not looking for it?" the bat demon hesitated a little.

"Anyway, Mo Feiyu is nearby, don't worry. It's yours, it's yours after all, he can't run! Since God brought us to this sword drawing competition, it means that we have an indissoluble bond with this Chixiao Sword in the dark, and there is no encounter in the world for no reason, have you read all the "I Ching" that Brother Feng gave you?" Hua Gu patted the bat demon's head and said solemnly.

"Okay, I'll listen to my sister!" replied, bowing his head.

Everyone has unconsciously walked to the top of the Niuwang Village, and out of the marching camp on the top of the mountain came out of a scarlet crane suit, with a goatee of the Imperial Shi Bao Zhengming, behind whom there were two maids holding huge golden fans, and two guards with knives on the left and right stood on both sides, and a group of squires and tyrants surrounded and served. Bao Zhengming took out a holy decree from his bosom and read it aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor Zhao said: There were divine soldiers in ancient times, and the emperor is lucky!

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" everyone knelt down together.

Bao Zhengming rolled up the holy decree, pointed to a green stone stick at the end of the mother's stone and shouted, "All the Qing family is flat! The sword drawing competition is now on! Everyone shows their magical powers, quickly pull it out, in order to show the divine power of my heavenly kingdom!"

Following the officer's direction, a large white stone suddenly appeared thirty meters below, and a green stone stick was stuck straight on the edge of the cliff at the end of the stone.

"Why is that stone called the Mother Stone? Could it be that this stone was made by Liu Bang's mother?" someone in the crowd suddenly asked curiously.

"Transform your head! Because the stone is so abrupt and resolute that it is daunting, but anyone who walks up to it will exclaim: Oh my mother! I don't know how many mountain people have fallen off that stone and died, you know?!"

"Haha, Sister Hua, the name of this stone is still quite funny! Damn, I'll pull it out this time!" The bat demon laughed when he heard this, twisted his waist, raised his legs, warmed up, and prepared to take off and draw his sword.

"Wait and see how it goes!" Hua Gu suddenly grabbed the bat demon.

At this time, with the sound of "Ah!", a righteous man who drew his sword slipped and fell from the mother's stone and fell into the cliff; another Xiaobai also slid down, and he unexpectedly grabbed the Chixiao sword hanging in the air, and after he did not pull out the sword with all his strength, he waved his hand and shouted: "My mother, I won't pull it out! I won't pull it out! Help, throw the rope quickly, I'm going to fall!"

"Haha, I knew now, why bother in the first place?!" With a burst of laughter in the crowd, the man's hand slowly let go, and he also followed the predecessor with an "ah!" sound.

"I'm coming!" As soon as the words fell, a man dressed in blue satin and red cloth on his head drew his sword and flew over, his sword flowed deep cutting lines on the mother stone, without a trace of slippery soles of his feet, when he ran to the edge of the mother stone, he put away his sword and jumped, after a perfect arc, he kicked the cliff with both feet, and firmly held the Chixiao sword with both hands and pulled it out, everyone sighed:

"I see, there is hope for this kid!"

"Unless he is the emperor, no one can pull out this imperial sword!"

"At least he didn't slide down, I'm still optimistic about him!"

"Hehe! Let's see!"

As he spoke, the man pulled out for a few minutes, his hands were already stained with green-black moss and dark green patina, and the Chixiao Sword still didn't move. Suddenly, he kicked on the cliff, flew out by the cliff, and stood on a pine tree on the cliff opposite the mother rock, he pulled out the sword on his body and rose into the air, "Songshan eight-sided whirlwind slash!", the sword edge was in the shape of "rice", and the sword qi slashed towards the cliffs around the Chixiao Sword, and in an instant the cliff rumbled and bursts of explosions, and the mountains and rocks fell, and the smoke and dust were everywhere.

A group of people around Mama Stone saw the rocks falling through the cliff and the smoke billowing out, they all hurriedly covered their noses and retreated, waving their sleeves and patting the dust, and some people began to shout:

"Brother, you can't pull it out, don't destroy the baby!"

"Don't worry, it can't be destroyed! It is estimated that he wants to sharpen the stone and get the sword. ”

"How do you know that it can't be destroyed, my vase is broken one by one, he splits it like this, what sword can't be destroyed?"

"This is the Chixiao Sword, an alien visitor, cast by a thousand years of dark iron, not your vase!

Sure enough, after the smoke and dust dissipated, the Chixiao Sword remained unmoved, and the man flew away dejectedly.

"Sister Hua, it seems that this sword is not simple. "The bat demon looks a little unconfident.

Time flies, and soon the sun will go down, and everyone will set.

Seeing that it was getting late, Bao Zhengming said: "On behalf of our emperor, I would like to thank the martial arts people for their love and support! It's getting late today, everyone hurry home to rest, and pull it out again tomorrow!" After that, he and a few cronies walked back to the palace camp on the top of the mountain, and the three of them stood guard around the camp, and two maids and a guard waited in the camp.

In the evening, the handsome-looking guard in the camp made a cup of tea for Lord Bao and handed it over, and asked curiously: "My lord, we have been stationed in Niuwang Village for a week, and now no one has pulled out this Chixiao Sword. Why do you insist on it?"

Bao Zhengming drank a cup of tea and said with a faint smile: "Little Lizi, you don't know, in the palace, there are thousands of treasures, and there are no surprises." There are seven great divine weapons in the world, why do you come to this Chixiao Sword alone? Because this Chixiao Sword is the sword of the royal family, only the royal family can pull it out. The emperor is now critically ill, and the emperor has received information that Prime Minister Zhang Jinyan may collude with Liu Huangtian, the general of Jincheng on the frontier of the Western Regions, to rebel. The Emperor's child is now too young and ignorant to govern, and he wants to retrieve his wandering brother and take over. The so-called drawing of the sword is actually looking for someone. When the person who pulled out the Chixiao Sword is found, the emperor uncle will also be found, and my emperor's country can be safe. ”

"My subordinates know, I see! I hope that Uncle Huang will hear the information of the sword drawing contest as soon as possible and come over to draw the sword. The guard clenched his fists.

"Xiao Lizi, do you know why this Chixiao Sword is the Emperor's Sword?" Bao Zhengming suddenly dared to come with great interest.

"My lord, the villain doesn't know, I want to hear about it!" Xiao Lizi hugged his fists and laughed.

"You call Xiao Wang and Xiao Sun outside the door to come in, let them rest, roast the fire, and let me tell you the story of this Chixiao Sword. Bao Zhengming touched his beard and smiled. Xiao Lizi went out and called two other guards with knives.

"This Chixiao Sword has to start with the Qin Dynasty. During the Qin Dynasty, there was such a young man who had no interest and was full of problems. He was lazy and never did the farm work at home. He was a good drinker, and he was often drunk into a puddle of mud. He is lustful, and he can't open his legs when he sees a beautiful girl. He was rude and was very arrogant to both the officials and the people. The most infuriating thing is that he is a good liar and a brag. He often had people see the seventy-two black moles on his left leg, and he said that it was a celestial phase diagram, not that it was a skin disease. He often looked at Xianyang from afar, shook his head and sighed: "Oh, the eldest husband should be like this!" His lies are becoming more and more outrageous. Out of nowhere, he got a rusty iron rod and told the villagers that it was a sword he had obtained from the immortals of Nanshan, and his name was Chixiao. He regarded it as a treasure and kept his "sword" by his side all day long. He also said that he was not a human being, but a red dragon in the sky. His bull is blowing bigger and bigger. He said that he had known the First Emperor for a long time, and that the First Emperor was a white dragon, and he also said that the First Emperor was inferior to him, because he was a red dragon with higher mana, and he would replace him as an emperor in the future. He also said that he knew that the First Emperor's vitality had turned into a white snake and had been cruising around Feng Xize for some time. He said he was going to cut off the white snake, and he gestured with the iron rod he had picked up. People treat his words as jokes, big words, and no one believes them. But one night, everything changed. That night, dozens of young people from the township who had gone to work as apprentices in the county went to Fengxize, and this young man was among them, but instead of going to work, he joined in the fun, and he took out his wine jug and drank as he went. The gang stopped when they walked to Fengxize, and it is strange to say that recently, people who went to the county town to work as apprentices often disappeared in the vicinity of Fengsize for some reason, so, for the sake of insurance, we sent a young man with quick skills to walk a few steps forward to investigate, and after a while, the spy fled back with a frightened face, he said that he walked a little way and smelled a faint fishy smell in front of him, so he climbed a big tree and looked, and saw a huge and vicious white snake in the middle of the road, as if waiting for something. The crowd was so shocked that they no longer dared to move forward. Then the young man walked forward from the crowd, and he said that the white snake was waiting for him, and that he was going to kill it. As he spoke, he pulled out his iron rod and staggered on his feet, it seemed that he had drunk all the way, and was now drunk. People held their breath and looked at his crooked back, and they were all saying in their hearts: This stupid boy...... The night passed, and the young man did not return, and it was known that he must have become a meal for the serpent. The clouds cleared, and everyone continued to move forward. After walking for a while, they suddenly saw a huge white snake, which was cut in two and thrown on the side of the road. A few miles further, he found the young man lying asleep on the side of the road, and a cloud of air was hanging above his body, and a red dragon was flying lazily around in the cloud. The iron rod in his hand was gone, replaced by a sword decorated with colorful beads, Jiuhua jade, and a blade like frost and snow, and two seal characters were clearly engraved on the sword: Chixiao. At this moment, people believed that what the young man had said was true. This young man is Liu Bang. This sword is the Chixiao Sword that slashed the snake uprising. Therefore, the Chixiao Sword has been a sword of the emperor and the sword of the king's qi since ancient times, and it is very human. ”

Several guards with knives surrounded the campfire in the camp were fascinated, as if they were in it, following the story of Lord Bao to travel back to the Qin Dynasty.

In the very door, Chi Si Lie and the drunk Taoist often reminisced about the old relationship, while discussing whether his disciple Mo Feiyu had a reason to kill Lu Yin, Zhao Wou-Ki and Peony were always inseparable, each in pairs, Xiaoyaozi felt that he was alone but boring, in desperation, I decided to ask Chi Si Lie to resign, bid farewell to the drunk Taoist brother, and continue to travel the four seas, slaying demons and demons.

Leaving the very gate, Xiaoyaozi went all the way to the east, eating at the inn I heard that there was a sword drawing competition near the Lujiang River, and it was a thousand-year-old divine soldier, Xiaoyaozi thought to himself, "Whether I can pull out this sword or not, I have to try." Even if you can't pull out that Chixiao Sword, it doesn't matter, at least you can see it with your own eyes. ”

So Xiaoyaozi quickly whipped up, rushed to Lujiang, first went to a hot spring, ordered a few Hui dishes to feast on, while eating and drinking, while enjoying a few young women in neon clothes and feather clothes singing and dancing, Xiaoyaozi listened carefully through the wine glass, this is the local song "Niuwangzhai":

Xiaoyaozi lay quietly, listening to this beautiful tune, even if he didn't draw his sword, he should go to see this dragon vein Fuzuka. After drinking and eating, Xiaoyaozi decided to sleep soundly and prepare to draw her sword in good spirits tomorrow morning.

When I was about to go to bed, I heard someone next door shouting: "I don't know what my father thinks, the good head of the Songshan faction is unwilling to be, I have to help that Liu Huangtian to grab the Chixiao sword, can we people in the martial arts mix the emperor's family affairs? I can't pull out the broken copper and iron for a long time! I don't know what my Gao Pengfei did in his last life, as his son of Gao Qingtian, I am afraid that I will not have a peaceful life in my life!" The sound of hitting the wall, a whimpering cry.

"Presumably, this son of the head of the Songshan faction felt uncomfortable and drunk. Could it be that Liu Huangtian, the general of Jincheng, wants to rebel, and he sent people over this time to snatch this Chixiao sword to tell the world that he is the destiny of heaven? Alas, it seems that a major war is inevitable, and the people are about to fall into misery again. Xiaoyaozi sighed again and again, worrying and sleepless all night, but he also felt helpless.

Early the next morning, Xiaoyaozi finished breakfast, went straight to the site of the sword drawing competition - Niuwang Village, passed through the soup pond rape flower field, only to know that the Lujiang soup pond is also a Buddhist holy land, along the way I heard the local villagers smiling while harvesting wheat while singing the most primitive ballad - "Short Song Xing":

High mountains and flat lakes, singing the wind and the moon,

Peacock southeast, Lujiang painting boat.

Hundred flowers are fragrant, bees dance and butterflies sing,

The mountains are clear and the forests are clear, and the fog is melon-friendly.

The snow is fluorescent, and the wax pregnancy is cool,

The Ox King Fence is in full bloom.

The ancient charm of the emblem style, the heroic long-term visit.

Clear Sanskrit sound, the universe sings.

Disciple Gui Township, rape flowers,

Tiger Cave tea fragrance, Changchun a fragrance.

Jianghuai unicorn, march drums and drums,

Forward-looking, peaks stand in all directions.

The original, simple and natural poetry and ancient style deeply awakened every pore on Xiaoyaozi's body, even if Xiaoyaozi traveled all over the world, he had never encountered such a classical and mellow paradise on earth, he thought to himself, "The people who live here are like angels who do not eat the fireworks of the world, and the halo is shining on the top of their heads."

Listening to this classical ballad, Xiaoyaozi's heart became more and more itchy, he wanted to see the first peak of Hefei as soon as possible, so he quickly whipped through the tunnel leading to Niuwangzhai through the soup pond, and arrived at the foot of Niuwangzhai Mountain, full of toon trees filled with a different fragrance in the air, which instantly made Xiaoyaozi intoxicated, he pulled the reins to let the horse stop, closed his eyes and took a deep breath of this breathtaking high-concentration oxygen ion air, and suddenly felt refreshed and energetic.

"Drive!" Xiaoyaozi shouted, whipped his horse, and went straight to the top of the Niuwang Village. Dismounted and took a closer look, a group of people next to Mama Shi were still looking at each other, all talking about the martial arts master who had just fallen off the cliff:

"I heard that he is a master of the Huashan faction, he studied under Mei Daxia, and he cultivated to a high level, and he died very much. ”

"No matter how high your martial arts are, you are afraid of Chixiao! No matter how good your cultivation is, you are also afraid of extreme cliffs!"

"Let's all go back and pick tea. Let's go, let's go, don't look at it! I'm afraid this Chixiao Sword will have to wait another thousand years!"

"Don't you mean it, let's go!"

Some of the mountaineers surrounding the Mama Stone felt that it was not interesting to see all kinds of cliff jumps every day, so they carried their hoes one after another! The shovels went to work, and the side of the Mama Stone suddenly became deserted.

Bao Zhengming, who was standing on the top of the Niuwang Village, saw this situation, shook his head and looked at the sword and sighed: "Could it be that no one can really take out this Chixiao Sword this time?"

"Xiaoyao Sword Technique! Out of the Sword!" "Xiaoyaozi Imperial Sword Flying, Ten Thousand Swords Surrounded by a Taiji Circle, All Sword Hearts Pointed Outward, Xiaoyaozi Jumped on the Center of the Circular Taiji Sword Formation, and the Imperial Sword flew in front of the Chixiao Sword, the sky began to be covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, wind and rain, and the Chixiao Sword began to emit "呲呲呲" The sound of vibration, the cliff began to appear cracks, the red blood in the cracks trickled out, Xiaoyaozi immediately clenched the Chixiao Sword with both hands, and pulled it out hard, suddenly a red dragon flew out of the Chixiao Sword, the red dragon flew into the lightning and roared, like a red light flew straight into his body from Xiaoyaozi's Tianling Gai, Xiaoyaozi's body shook for a while, and he came to his senses to find that his whole body began to burn, but there was no pain, he felt that there was infinite heat flowing in his body, and the whole person was like an erupting volcano。 With a "boom", Xiaoyaozi pulled out the Chixiao Sword, and golden light burst out from the sword, the patina, earth, and moss on the Chixiao Sword were instantly peeled off, and the Chixiao Sword shone with golden light in the gray rain curtain. At this time, the wind and rain were blowing, the lightning roared, the mother stone exploded, the cliff collapsed, the flash flood broke out, and the mudslide rolled down.

"My lord, it's raining heavily!Let's go back first!" Xiao Lizi hurriedly opened the umbrella and put it on Bao Zhengming's head.

"It's him! It's him!" Bao Zhengming was overjoyed, smiled and pushed away the umbrella and shouted, "Don't block my view, you get out of the way!" Uncle Huang! Uncle Huang! We have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Xiaoyaozi pulled out the Chixiao Sword, overjoyed, and found that the clothes on his body had been burned to rags, so he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly flew back to the inn, took a shower, changed into a new set of clothes, and lay on the bed to carefully look at the Chixiao Sword.

"Quickly remove the camp on the top of the mountain! Quick! Let's go to the bottom of the mountain to find the emperor!" Bao Zhengming shouted while hurrying down the mountain against the wind and rain.

"Yes, my lord!" everyone packed their luggage in the camp on the top of the mountain, and at the same time followed closely behind Lord Bao to hold an umbrella for him to protect him from the rain.
