Chapter 23: The Battle of Levels
"Got news?"
Xia Fan walked through the empty streets without squinting.
He didn't even have to look at it, he could tell who it was by smell alone.
"Gongzi is too anxious, Wanyang is thousands of miles away from the capital, even if the slave family has used the fastest way to transmit the news, the capital will take two days to send back the news. ”
Leng Yan draped himself in a snow-white fox fur, and followed Xia Fan with graceful steps.
"It's not that I'm anxious, it's that the communication efficiency of your world is too low. Xia Fan said with feelings. "Obviously, it can be solved by making a phone call and sending a WeChat message, but it will drag on for a few days. ”
"Isn't your world?, isn't Gongzi from this world?" Leng Yan chuckled when he heard this. "And what is the phone number and WeChat that Childe said? The slave family is really curious. ”
"It's good that you can understand it as a communication tool, for example, you and I can hear each other's voices through this tool thousands of miles apart. ”
Xia Fan only answered the second half of the other party's question.
As for the former.
And he said, Will she believe it?
I guess I thought I was deliberately teasing her.
"The communication tool that Childe said reminded the slave family of something. Leng Yan thought for a moment.
"Huh?"
Xia Fan subconsciously turned his head to look at the cold smoke.
"It is said that before the ancient emperor launched the Jedi Heavenly Pass, the celestial monks of the land of Shenzhou all had a thing called the sound transmission jade rune, just as Gongzi depicted, obviously the two were thousands of miles apart and could communicate with each other as if they were face to face. Leng Yan said regretfully. "It's a pity that after the end of the ancient era, heaven and man were separated forever, Shenzhou changed suddenly, and countless magical things born in ancient times were lost. ”
"Girl, are you taking mythology for history?"
Xia Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes and said.
"Don't you believe it?"
Leng Yan said in surprise.
"How many years has it been since the ancient era?" Xia Fan asked rhetorically.
"The slave family roughly calculated, the ancient times are about 10,000 years ago. Leng Yan thought for a moment.
"Tens of thousands of years, you are embarrassed to say ......," Xia Fan said speechlessly. "Tens of thousands of years is enough to change too many things in the world, how do you know that the myths and legends of ancient times were not made up by later generations?"
"Because, these are all recorded and passed down by ancient relics, and they are not the words of a family. ”
Cold smoke is a little inexplicable.
“???”
Xia Fan's eyelids jumped suddenly.
"What's that? So, all the myths and legends about antiquity are true?"
"Of course, that's why the slave family wonders why Childe doesn't believe it?"
Leng Yan looked at Xia Fan Dao suspiciously.
If ordinary people don't know, it's understandable.
But the problem is that he's a grandmaster!
How could a grandmaster not know such a common-sense thing?
Otherwise, how do you think your martial arts came from? It is not created and inherited by the ancestors and remnants of ancient times.
After the Emperor of the Heavenly Pass, the pattern of heaven and earth has changed greatly, and the methods of the ancient monks have become yesterday's yellow flowers and completely invalidated.
In order to survive, the ancestors had to find another way to create another feasible path of cultivation, which gradually gave rise to the Middle Ages.
"Don't talk yet, I want to be quiet. ”
Xia Fan waved his hand, and the whole person fell into deep thought.
The first time he heard about ancient history, perhaps because of a preconceived relationship, at first he did regard ancient history as something like a myth and legend on the earth.
But later, after realizing that there were unscientific martial artists in this world, he had a different view of ancient history.
He believed that the part of the ancient history might be true, but more should be the posterity's rumors and exaggerations.
What is the emperor of the Jedi Tiantong, and Shenzhou has changed suddenly.
Could this be some kind of global catastrophe that took place that year?
For example, the prehistoric flood.
You must know that in the previous life, there are relevant records in the myths and history of various countries and nations.
Now Leng Yan told him.
Ancient history is not myths and legends.
How else can this be done?
In other words.
Is there really a god in this world?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stop and look up at the sky.
"Childe, what are you looking at?"
Leng Yan stood silently aside, but he couldn't help but speak after he didn't react for a long time.
"Look at the gods!"
Xia Fan said lightly.
"Childe is teasing the slave family again, how can there be real immortals in the world today, the real immortals have long been out of this world. ”
Cold smoke sneered.
"I'm thinking, if there are really immortals in the world, where will they live? Outside the atmosphere? Won't you suffocate them?" Xia Fan lowered his head and said thoughtfully. "Or maybe they're living in a different dimension?"
"Why is Childe suddenly so interested in immortals?"
Leng Yan, who couldn't understand what Xia Fan was talking about, said with a blank face.
"I'm not interested in immortals, I'm only interested in winning against immortals. Xia Fan muttered to himself as he walked. "Could it be that Lao Tzu will have to live for another ten or eight years in the future?"
Xia Fan did not have persecution paranoia.
He's just plain insecure.
Especially after reading too many online novels in his previous life, he has a different view of the immortals.
Although Leng Yan swore that there were no more immortals in this world, what if there were no immortals in the world? What if this immortal suddenly went crazy and wanted to destroy the world?
Like what.
The world is filthy again.
Therefore, he will never rely on others for his life.
Neither can the gods!
“......”
Leng Yan felt that it was a mistake to go out to meet Xia Fan this time.
Although she had already learned from the intelligence that the other party was an uninhibited outsider.
But she still underestimated the other party's jumping nature.
Originally, she saw Xia Fan this time because of Gu Xiqiao last night.
I didn't say a word.
He brought the topic to ancient times and immortals.
In the end, he was still thinking about how to deal with the immortals?!
Oh, my God!
Sometimes she wants to open the other person's head and see what mess is in his head.
Could it be that he has been living in seclusion in the mountains for a long time, and he also has a problem with his brain?
"By the way, what the hell are you looking for me?"
Xia Fan didn't think about it for too long, and quickly came back to his senses, after all, he was really a bit worried about it now.
"......" Leng Yan's delicate and fair face stiffened. "Childe, the slave family saw you today mainly for the matter of Gu Gongzi, I heard that not long after you returned to the inn, Gu Gongzi hurriedly visited Childe?"
"There's such a thing. Xia Fan said disapprerovingly. "Because he came to see me on Su Yunxiao's orders. ”
"Oh, did Gu Gongzi say something to Gongzi?" Leng Yan's beautiful eyes flashed with a different color.
"He asked me if I was courting me, and I told him about our deal. Xia Fan said without concealment.
"No wonder the lights in Su Yunxiao's room were on all night last night. ”
Leng Yan showed a smile that was indeed so.
"You guys who engage in espionage are really inaccessible. Xia Fan pouted. "Do you have to keep a close watch on people's toilets?"
"Hehe......" Leng Yan smiled and hurriedly diverted the topic. "Actually, there is one more thing that the slave family needs to remind you. ”
"What's the matter?"
Xia Fan said casually.
"Zhong Liyuan will arrive in Wanyang in the next two days, and the slave family is worried that he will attack Gongzi at that time. Leng Yan's expression instantly straightened.
"Zhong Liyuan, who is this?!And why is he going to attack me?"
Xia Fan was stunned when he heard this.
"Childe doesn't know Zhong Liyuan?" the corners of Leng Yan's mouth twitched imperceptibly.
"He's a grandmaster?"
Based on the cold smoke tone alone, Xia Fan guessed one or two.
"That's right, Zhong Liyuan is not only one of the best swordsmen in the world, but more importantly, he is also backed by the Extreme Love Sect, the world's leading sect. Cold smoke took a deep breath. "Even our Zhen Wusi doesn't dare to provoke the existence lightly. ”
"Why did he come to Wanyang?" Xia Fan raised his eyebrows.
"Because one of Su Yunxiao's clan uncles has an old relationship with Zhong Liyuan. Leng Yan sighed softly. "Zhong Liyuan came from the heart. ”
"So after Su Yunxiao learned that I would be on your side, could it be guaranteed that he would let Zhong Liyuan deal with me?" Xia Fan immediately came to his senses.
"The possibilities are high. Leng Yan said with a serious face. "Actually, Zhong Liyuan is not terrible, what is terrible is the Extreme Love Sect behind him, because this sect pursues the way of extreme love, and sometimes no one can predict what crazy things they will do. ”
"It reminds me of a man named Wave Tumbling Cloud. ”
Xia Fan touched his chin and said.
"Rolling clouds?"
The cold smoke was confused again.
"A person who pursues only extreme affection, can be extremely infatuated with the sword. Xia Fan explained casually. "But people and us are not in the same world, so you don't have to think too much. ”
“......”
Leng Yan was suddenly speechless.
"I almost forgot that sending someone on the road to take care of the three guys I sent away before was part of our deal. ”
Xia Fan suddenly thought.
“...... Childe is really a person with the most affection and sex. ”
Leng Yan reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said.
"They helped me a lot along the way, and I should have reciprocated. Xia Fan was bored. "Besides, if it weren't for you, I would have gone with them by now......"
"Don't worry, son, the slave family will naturally send someone to spread it later. Leng Yan hurriedly said.
"Anyway, there is no lively place in Wanyang?"
I don't know how long I walked, and I was full of depression, and even Xia Fan felt a little bored.
"Returning to the son, if the son wants to see the excitement, I'm afraid he will have to go to the Fang Market in the east of the city, compared to the whole Wanyang, there is still a bit of fireworks. Leng Yan replied.
"Well, where are you talking about the East Market?"
Standing in the middle of the street, Xia Fan, who couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, subconsciously looked around.
"This way. ”
Leng Yan silently stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction.
"Okay, then let's leave it at that, remember to let me know if there is news. ”
Xia Fan smiled at Leng Yan, waved his hand and walked straight in the direction of Dongshi.
The cold smoke pestle was in place, and he watched the other party's figure gradually disappear in front of him expressionlessly.
Long.
She turned her head to look at the street, a coquettish smile on her face.
"Gu Gongzi, did you take the initiative to find the slave family because you thought it through?"
"You shouldn't have dragged him in. ”
Gu Xiqiao stood in the middle of the intersection, staring at the cold flue with an indifferent expression.
"Gu Gongzi, have you forgotten who the slave family is?" Leng Yan smiled even more.
"But this war should have nothing to do with him. ”
Gu Xiqiao was no longer as elegant as before, but exuded an awe-inspiring killing intent all over his body.
"The slave family didn't understand what Gu Gongzi was saying. ”
Cold smoke pretended to be unknown.
"Leng Yan, why are you pretending to be stupid with me now?" Gu Xiqiao sneered. "From the very beginning, this is the war between your court and the major sects, on the surface you are fighting the slogan of suppressing the army of suffering, but in fact it is a new round of competition between you and the major sects, once you can't successfully deter them like last time, the future will inevitably put the court in a precarious situation. ”
"Gu Gongzi, are you representing yourself now participating in this war, or do you represent the attitude of the Huanhua Sword Pavilion?" Leng Yan retracted his smile and said in a calm tone.
"Neither I nor my master have any intention of interfering in your war. Gu Xiqiao said indifferently. "But this time I had a reason to come here. ”
"Because of Lin He?" Leng Yan asked.
"Looks like he's told you everything. ”
Gu Xiqiao frowned slightly.
"Don't you know that he has been connecting with you?" "Su Yuanhong of Lizhou, White Wolf Khan of Beiban, Lu Chongyi of Sizhou, Xiao Siyuan of Qingzhou, Du Yanping of Pengzhou, Chu Liquan of Jiangdong ......"
"Enough. Gu Xiqiao interrupted. "I said, this time I just came to help Su Yunxiao on behalf of myself, and after this battle, I will get out of the suffering army. ”
"When you came to Wanyang, did you think everything would go as you wished?" Leng Yan sneered.
"It's my own choice to get my wish or not. ”
As he spoke, Gu Xiqiao slowly pulled out the saber at his waist and pointed at the cold flue.
"But he's not. ”
"He is now. Leng Yan looked at Gu Xiqiao with a smile. "And what can Gu Gongzi do to me?"
"I'll kill you. ”
Gu Xiqiao's tone did not carry a trace of emotion.
"Because I can't let you let this war get out of hand. ”
"Out of control?hehehehe......" Leng Yan suddenly shook his waist and laughed freely. "Hasn't this world pushed you hypocrites who claim to be the right path to the brink of getting out of control step by step?
"You're crazy. ”
Gu Xi Bridge was unmoved.
"No, we're not crazy, we just wanted to tell you. Leng Yan's silver teeth clenched and glared at Gu Xiqiao angrily. "I'd rather be broken than broken! Even if Sheji is overturned, we will drag you to the funeral together!"
But—
Gu Xiqiao's answer was a sword stabbing at Leng Yan.
In the twinkling of an eye.
The blade of the sword was pressed against the jade neck of the cold smoke.
It's a pity that Gu Xiqiao's sword couldn't go any further.
"I can't help myself. ”
Leng Yan snorted coldly, turned around and disappeared into the empty street, leaving Gu Xiqiao, who still maintained a stiff sword posture.
"When will it ......"
Gu Xiqiao's gaze moved to his chest sluggishly, and at some point, three thin and straight long needles had been inserted in his chest, completely sealing his qi, blood and meridians, so that he couldn't move all over his body.
