Chapter 191: The Sword Meeting of the Hour (I)
Xiao Zhinan is the chief heir of Lang Huan Sword House and the only heir, and although Ouyang Shengxue is also the chief heir of the Palace Sword Academy, he is not the heir to the position of the head of the Palace Sword Academy after all.
It is also true that Ouyang Shengxue is slightly higher in terms of identity.
From the perspective of the generations of the Sword Gate, Xue Wangwu and the sword master of Lang Huan Sword House are both inherited from a certain two sword immortals in the golden age, even if Xue Wangwu is a little older, but they are also the same generation, and Xiao Zhinan, who has one more identity than Ouyang Shengxue, logically speaking, although they are peers, they are not quite the same.
But in fact, there is no need to talk about the difference between the micro and the end, Ouyang Shengxue is more polite and polite.
Xiao Zhinan obviously didn't think deeply, and said lightly: "Mr. Big is the first sword in the Sword Academy of the Palace, and he is also the first sword cultivator in the younger generation of Jiang Guo. ”
Ouyang Shengxue was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, but ......"
As soon as the words changed, Ouyang Shengxue said seriously: "I have some trivial things to do, why don't we fight again tomorrow, and then I will wait for Miss Xiao in the Capital Sword Club." ”
The sword club is a place of pastime and entertainment, there are martial artists who can come to the stage to learn, and naturally they can also solve personal grievances.
And the Sword Club has always been a place of great interest.
Ouyang Shengxue chose to fight Xiao Zhinan at the Sword Meeting, which is equivalent to showing this competition in front of the world, and Xiao Zhinan naturally has no reason to refuse.
"Tomorrow, I'll be there on time. ”
Xiao Zhinan turned around and walked straight down the mountain gate.
And Ouyang Shengxue also turned her head to Ning Haoran and said, "I'll go to the palace." ”
......
In the Imperial Study.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at Ouyang Shengxue, who was standing with his head bowed, raised his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "Shengxue returned to the capital, it is gratifying to congratulate, and I must have realized a lot by walking in the world." ”
Ouyang Shengxue replied: "I have indeed seen a lot of different scenery, the people of Jiang Country live and work in peace and contentment, there is joy, there is busy, but in some small places, there are also some gloom, do my best to help the people, my mood has become stronger." ”
His Majesty the Emperor groaned and said: "I want the peace of the country and the people, but it is not something that can be done overnight, there will always be some places that I can't scruple about, the world cannot be all truth, goodness and beauty, what I can do is to do my best." ”
Ouyang Shengxue said: "Jiang State is already a very prosperous country under the governance of His Majesty, although the five dynasties have temporarily ceased war and coexisted peacefully, but the wars of some small countries are still continuous, and there will always be filth in some places outside the court's vision, and the people displaced by the war will also appear in the territory of Jiang State, Your Majesty has done the best, but there are indeed some things that cannot be cured." ”
His expression became a little solemn, and he continued: "When I returned to the Sword Academy, I also heard from my junior brother about the appearance of monks outside the mountains in the capital, but I also met monks outside the mountains in a small Liang County in Nan County, although it was only a person from outside the mountain who cultivated in the four realms, but recently the people from outside the mountain seemed to have suddenly become active in Jiang Country, and I always felt that there was a big problem here. ”
His Majesty the Emperor's expression gradually became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhuge Dan and another chamberlain have been lurking in the palace for several years, their purpose is not just to murder the queen, although most of the monks outside the mountain have become simple-minded because of the practice of that evil method, but once they cross the threshold of the five realms, they are no different from ordinary people, and their minds have become difficult to figure out. ”
The monks outside the mountains who have cultivated in the Four Realms are actually no different from normal people, but they are relatively more crazy, and it is difficult to control their emotions and desires, but the monks outside the mountains who have cultivated in the Five Realms are monsters who can really hide all their desires, have absolute power and know how to forbear, and are truly terrifying existences.
Of course, monks outside the mountain will also act in different styles due to their different personalities, for example, although Zhuge Dan has crossed the threshold of the Five Realms, it is indeed not easy to hide in the palace for several years to resist bloodthirsty desires, but whenever there is an introduction, he will not be able to suppress his instincts.
And the other chamberlain, of course, is far inferior to Zhuge Dan in cultivation, and he hasn't even really come into contact with that evil method, so he doesn't have the desire to suppress, and it is very easy to hide directly by the side of His Majesty the Emperor.
Only when you have truly practiced that evil method and thus had the experience of plundering the Qi Sea Spirit Yuan once will there be an explosion of bloodthirsty desire, and it will be out of control.
If you are simply exposed to that evil method, but you have not really used it, you are no different from normal people, and what you need to suppress is only the desire to become stronger.
But it's not an easy thing to do.
Because the seed has been planted, it is difficult to deliberately suppress it, but as long as you maintain a normal person's mind, there is always a way to solve it.
The appearance of the monk outside the mountain is to change from normal to abnormal, then to crazy, and finally to return to normal, but the return to normal is only a pseudo-normal, and he is still a bloodthirsty monster in his heart.
From the fact that the monk Zhuge Dan is in the normal category of the monks outside the mountain lurking in the palace, it is enough to see that the people outside the mountain must be setting up a game.
And there are definitely very few monks outside the mountain who have that mental layout.
And all of them were sealed in the wasteland and the snow-capped mountains.
Ouyang Shengxue said: "I suspect that there is something wrong with the Demon Suppression Barrier in the Heavenly Forsaken Land, and there may even be powerful people from outside the mountain who have escaped from it, otherwise there is no way to explain why there are people from outside the mountain again outside the Land of Heavenly Forsaken." ”
His Majesty the Emperor said with some agreement: "It is true that only this direction can be doubted. ”
But he immediately had doubts and said: "The situation in the Snow Mountain is unknown, but there is Tang Wenliu personally guarding the Heavenly Abandoned Wasteland, and there is not even a shortage of strong men from the Western Jin Dynasty and Nanyu, if there is a problem with the barrier of the wasteland, it is impossible for Tang Shen not to notice it at all, let alone someone from outside the mountain who escapes from inside." ”
Ouyang Shengxue pondered: "With the Tang God General, it is indeed unlikely that the people outside the mountain will escape quietly, and the demon suppression barrier is reinforced by the strong people of various countries, if there is really a problem, it is impossible for them not to find it, but there is no way to explain the monks outside the mountain who appeared in the territory of Jiang Kingdom." ”
His Majesty the Emperor sighed and said, "No matter what, I will inform the Tang God General who is far away in the western frontier, and I will also arrange for people to set off as soon as possible to find out what is going on in the abandoned land, at the latest at the end of this summer." ”
"At that time, I'm afraid you will also need Shengxue to run it yourself, if you can, it is best to let Qiubai and Zang Feng go together. ”
This is also equivalent to sending out the top forces of the younger generation of Jiang Guo, and the affairs of the monks outside the mountain are very involved, and there is no room for carelessness.
Ouyang Shengxue waved his hand and said: "For the sake of Your Majesty's worries and the safety of the people in the world, Shengxue is duty-bound." ”
......
The news that Xiao Zhinan was going to fight Ouyang Shengxue in the Sword Society spread all over the capital in a short period of time.
Even if the agreed time is tomorrow, but the traffic of the Sword Club on that day obviously shows signs of skyrocketing, the Sword Club is organized by the people, named by the Grandmaster League, and the court has also given support, so ordinary people do not dare to make trouble in the Sword Club, and there are many people in the Sword Club who resolve personal grievances.
Put personal grievances on the surface and present them in front of people in the form of a duel, then you must strictly follow the rules of the sword club, and you must sign a life and death certificate before the duel.
The decisive battle between Xiao Zhinan and Ouyang Shengxue is only about competition, but there is no need to sign a life and death certificate, but on the occasion of choosing a sword meeting, the process of this battle is directly presented in front of the world, and the losing side must be a little difficult to get over on his face.
No one knew why Ouyang Shengxue and Xiao Zhinan would duel at the Sword Club, but there was an endless stream of people who were crazy about buying tickets in advance, and those who couldn't grab tickets for the Sword Club for a while were either frustrated and annoyed, or wanted to sneak into the Sword Club in an opportunistic way, but there was no doubt that they were all looking forward to tomorrow.
And Li Mengzhou simply rested, and then went straight to the Xianfu Inn in the inner city.
He didn't tell anyone about the picture he saw at the top of the peak, because he needed to digest it for a while.
He guessed that the presentation of that picture should be a trace of memory left in the sword intent, or a trace of residual thoughts left by the sword immortal of the mountain, through the sword intent of the peak, when he was touched by Li Mengzhou, that memory also poured into his mind.
But he only saw the remnants of the picture in the blur of the onlooker's vision, and he didn't know what was going on.
But at least it can be affirmed that at the peak of the Sword Cliff, there is indeed the natal sword of the Lishan Sword Immortal.
If he could obtain the inheritance of the Lishan Sword Immortal, his cultivation would definitely improve by leaps and bounds in a very short period of time.
However, the dream is plump, but the reality is skinny.
With his current cultivation realm, Mo said that he had inherited the sword intent of the Lishan Sword Immortal, and he couldn't even climb to the peak.
In this somewhat stunned thought, Li Mengzhou soon came to the street where the Xianfu Inn in the inner city was located.
There was some commotion in the Xianfu Inn.
The practitioners gathered together and seemed to be discussing something.
Obviously, the news that Xiao Zhinan was going to challenge Ouyang Shengxue, the eldest gentleman of the Imperial Sword Academy, also spread here.
Moreover, these cultivators knew very well that Xiao Zhinan lived in the Immortal Mansion Inn, and their reaction was greater.
Steward Pei noticed the black-clothed young man standing at the door, and he immediately raised his eyebrows slightly.
The first place in the academy, Guan Muyun, appeared outside the Xianfu Inn in the early morning.
And now it is only two hours apart, and the newly promoted Mr. Seven of the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace has also come to the Xianfu Inn.
Usually, a person with a special identity like this is rare in the Xianfu Inn.
Steward Pei greeted him with strange thoughts.
