Chapter 40: The Beginning of Chaos, Who Is Su Qi?
Recently, the undercurrents in the five eastern states have been turbulent.
The matter of Lin'an, Qingzhou gradually spread.
The different pupils appeared, the demon clan attacked the city, the Shanshui Sect and the Wanfa Sect each died an elder of the outer gate, Lin'an City changed hands, and was recruited by the Dali Dynasty.
Each of them is a big event, but the interesting thing is that the fact that a head appeared in Lin'an City was suppressed by some people with a heart.
Jiang Rui, who left the town demon pass without permission, received a small punishment and was demoted by two levels, but he was soon rewarded by the Dali Dynasty, and the carriages and horses that transported the rewards lined up for ten miles, the reason was to expand the territory of the country and recruit talents.
Since then, the Dali Dynasty has spanned the three states of Cang, Xi, and Qing, and almost pointed its sword at the nose of the Shanshui Sect, and there was gossip that the Wanfa Sect had formed an alliance with the Dali Dynasty and officially joined the huge chariot of the Dali Dynasty.
Everyone was speculating about the reaction of the Shanshui Sect.
Since the Sword Gate was destroyed eleven years ago, and the Shanshui Sect became the head of the Spirit Ruins, the Shanshui Sect has never suffered such a big loss.
But to disappoint the melon-eating masses, the Shanshui Sect was calm, and he didn't even say a single cruel word.
Some people say that Shanshui Sect is too scared, and some say that Shanshui Sect is secretly accumulating strength, preparing to make a big one, and then being sarcastically returned, and doing things in secret is not a proof of weakness?
Regardless of whether the Shanshui Sect, which has been silent, has secretly moved, Xizhou in the northwest of Qingzhou has been very lively recently.
There is a lotus dock in the north of Xizhou, which is the same as the town demon pass in Cangzhou, and belongs to the front line against the demon clan, but it is not as important as the town demon pass, and the reputation is much worse.
But lately, there have been a lot of monks coming and going, and all of them are of the younger generation.
There is no other reason.
It's just because Lu Celadon and Gu Jiu are here.
The name Lotus Dock originally came from the small dock on the banks of the Stone River, and later expanded due to its important location, and even though it has now become a large city near the river, it still retains its old name.
To the north of Lotus Dock, across two rivers is the territory of the demon clan, to the west is a mountain range, and to the east and south are countless swamps, wetlands and rivers.
There is a teahouse called Natural Residence in Lotus Dock, and opposite is the branch of Tianji Pavilion, so when Tianji Pavilion is released at the end of every month, the business of Natural Residence is so good that it explodes.
Today was no exception, with three floors, each floor filled with monks, and the loud voices that came and went made the mortals who waited by them curious.
The hall on the first floor is the liveliest.
"I heard that a few days ago, Gu Jiu and Lu Celadon teamed up to break into the Demon Valley. ”
"Alas, these two people are surprisingly strong, and they have joined forces again, but no one in the Eastern Five States can compare to them. ”
"Who said that? It's just that other geniuses haven't come to the front battlefield, but I heard that people from the Chu family in Dingzhou are coming. ”
"The little son of the Xie family in Xizhou just entered the divine mind a few days ago, and it is said that he is also coming to Lotus Dock. ”
"Recently, there has been a lot of turmoil, and I also heard that an outer sect elder of the Sword Intent Sect has disappeared. ”
"Wouldn't it still be a demon clan?"
"I haven't settled the matter of Lin'an last time....... These demon clans, don't you want to live?!"
"I heard that the movements of the demon clan over there in Zhongzhou are also very frequent. ”
"Is it possible that there will be another war? Now the war between the two clans is still limited to the Empty Ming Realm...... If it expands further, it will make the people miserable. ”
"Don't you know yet? The Demon Suppression Pass has the ancestor of the Great Li Dynasty stationed in it!"
"What? Where did you get the news?"
"A few days ago, when the fourteenth prince accepted the reward, an old man came with the team, and many people saw Jiang Rui make a big gift with their own eyes, calling him grandfather!"
"Grandpa....... Isn't it Jiang Chunqiu?"
"Jiang Chunqiu...... A generation of heavenly pride. ”
"In those days, it was even more popular than the current Fourteen Princes. ”
"The real rise of the Dali Dynasty also began with him. ”
Everyone was talking, their mouths were full of admiration and admiration, and the discussion was extremely intense.
"What do you do with Jiang Chunqiu? What do such characters have to do with us? Change the topic, change the topic!" someone began to argue.
"That is, there is still half an hour, and the Tianji Pavilion is about to be released. ”
"What's so good-looking? It is estimated that there is no change in the cultivation of the third list, and the top of the battle merit list is always Gu Jiu's. ”
"If you take it again this time, it's been sixteen months in a row, right?"
"Yes, a century-old record. ”
"Who was the last one?"
"Jiang Chunqiu. Someone replied.
Well, the topic is back on the hook.
Everyone turned their heads to see that it was a young girl who spoke, with a stack of books on her lap and a messy pile of books on the table, holding a pen in her left hand, sitting at the window and copying.
Feeling everyone's gaze, she looked at the words under her hand suspiciously, and said blankly: "I'm not mistaken...... It's Jiang Chunqiu......"
Everyone thought about it and decided to ignore her.
Private room on the second floor.
Gu Jiu sat beside Lu Celadon and handed over a cup of tea, "New tea from the south, celadon you can try it." ”
"I don't like tea. ”
Lu Celadon shook his head and placed the sword in his hand on the table between the two.
"The elder of the Sword Intent Sect is missing. Gu Jiu said softly.
"I've heard that, too. Lu Qingci said quietly.
"Ten days ago, you left the camp one night. Gu Jiu took a sip and glanced at her.
Lu Celadon's expression did not change, "I'm just going out for a walk." ”
Gu Jiu smiled, he reached out to shake Lu Qingci's hand, but she avoided it.
"You know, I will always stand with you. ”
His eyes were sincere.
Lu Celadon glanced at it twice and didn't speak.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Gu Jiu scratched his head, he was no stranger to such a scene.
Lu Celadon rarely laughs, rarely talks to people, and rarely even interacts with people.
It took him a whole year to have the qualifications to sit down next to Lu Qingci at any time, and she had spoken to him more than anyone else.
At least, he's the most qualified!
And he didn't think that except for himself, there would be other people in the five eastern states who were worthy of Lu Celadon.
There was a knock on the door.
A sword boy walked in, holding a stack of books in his hand, "Childe, this month's list." ”
Gu Jiu stretched out his hand to take it and turned two pages, his face changed slightly, a little ugly.
"Something happened. ”
"Huh?" Lu Qingci raised his head in surprise.
"Someone has taken my place. Gu Jiu sighed and put the list on the table.
Lu Celadon picked it up, flipped through a few pages, and was stunned.
She looked at the familiar name and suddenly smiled.
On the list of merits, Su Qi is the first, Gu Jiu is the second, and Lu Celadon is the third.
Who is Su Qi?
The monks who got the list were at a loss.
"It can't be that Tianji Pavilion made a mistake, right?"
"What are you kidding, when did you see that Tianji Pavilion made a mistake?"
"Twenty-one years ago, Tianji Pavilion had misspelled its name. ”
"Ugh....... Do you remember what happened twenty-one years ago?" the man turned back angrily, and found that it was the same girl who spoke.
She looked a little stunned with an ink mark on her face at some point, and she looked at the man seriously and said, "I remember everything from a thousand years ago. ”
After a moment, she added, "As long as it's in the book." ”
