After resting for one night in the dilapidated Taoist temple in the wilderness, and the next day when the rain stopped, they set off again and headed for Langya City.

It's just that Zhuo Bingchun's mind is a little heavier.

Maybe Tang Wenliu just said what he was worried about, but Zhuo Bingchun had a deeper understanding after all, and the question about Li Mengzhou's life experience was actually only the suspicion of His Majesty the Emperor and Jiang Tingyu, and it was not confirmed, so naturally there would be the opposite truth, when did Li Mengzhou come into contact with the Medicine Emperor outside the mountain, and what the Medicine Emperor did to Li Mengzhou, it is something that cannot be ignored.

Zhuo Bingchun was thinking about the problem very seriously, but Tang Wenliu became a lot more relaxed, he just felt that something was wrong, he didn't really say that Li Mengzhou must have a problem, and his duty was to guard the frontier, these things were not in the scope of his consideration, since he told Zhuo Bingchun the question, then the next thing had nothing to do with him.

In the carriage, Li Mengzhou sat up, gently lifted the curtain, and looked at the scenery flashing outside, his face was quite pale, without any energy, only the pair of eyes were still bright.

Actually, what happened in the Abandoned Wasteland was really bad.

Especially for him.

It even made him feel a little uneasy.

He didn't know what he would face when he returned to Langya City this time, he had exposed some things in the Heavenly Forsaken Wasteland, and he couldn't just hope that it would not be noticed, because that possibility was really small.

If in ordinary times, there is no problem with how he uses the second sword, but the matter of abandoning the wasteland will inevitably be watched by the strong people in the world, and if he can't keep it, someone will recognize the truth of the second sword, and then deduce something, there are people with good intentions, and naturally there are people with malicious intentions.

He was still not fully prepared, and because Long Lao's aura was withdrawn by Lin Dangxiao, he was not sure if he could still cross the threshold of the Five Realms, if he was caught by someone with malicious intentions here, then he could be easily killed.

Of course, Langya City is relatively safe, after all, he still has the identity of Mr. Seven of the Palace Sword Academy, but there is also Qin Chengyi in Langya City, and it is not an absolutely safe place.

"Now I can only take one step at a time, and if it really comes to that time, I can only draw my sword. ”

......

There are a lot of people gathered outside the south gate of Langya, ordinary people naturally don't know what happened, even the storyteller can't find out what happened in the abandoned wasteland, the young people who have entered the world to practice can be said to have suffered heavy casualties, and there are many people who greet them on this return trip.

And in the main hall of the palace, someone entered the palace to face the saint.

The faint aroma of tea filled the hall, and His Majesty the Emperor flipped through the folds, his brows furrowed.

In addition to the matter of the Heavenly Abandonment Wasteland, the cultivators of the Northern Yannan Tianmen Temple came to the territory of Jiang Kingdom, and they were also sorted out by the secret agents of the Heavenly Council and sent to His Majesty the Emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor is very clear about Li Mengzhou's drawing of his sword at Xiaonan Tianmen in Mocheng, Dishui County, he just doesn't know that there is a person involved in the lonely mountain guest, even the Heavenly Council has not investigated it clearly, the lonely mountain guest has been hiding from the eyes of the world, if it is not a coincidence and an accident, the lord of Haitang Mountain will not be able to find out the existence of the lonely mountain guest.

However, the matter of the cultivators of the Nantianmen Temple being intercepted on their way to Pujia Garden, thus diverting their destination, was also sent to His Majesty the Emperor, but the secret agents of the Heavenly Council still did not figure out who the interceptor was.

It's not that the ability of the Heavenly Council's secret agents is not good, but that the lonely mountain guest is too powerful, he wants to hide, with the cultivation realm of those secret agents of the Heavenly Council, how can he detect it, the Heavenly Council is the strongest intelligence agency in the world, but it is only intelligence, they have no ability to detect the tranquility of the mountains and seas, and naturally they do not have the ability to detect things beyond their ability.

And Li Mengzhou's entanglement with Lin Dangxiao in the Heavenly Abandonment Wasteland was also sorted out by the Heavenly Council agents, although in that situation, the Heavenly Council agents had no way to get close at all, but they still used other means to find out some key words.

There are always people watching that scene, and some people can't afford to be offended by the secret agents of the Heavenly Council, but they want to find out the news, and there are ways to do it.

It's just that the information they sorted out is not so detailed, but the keyword of the Medicine Emperor outside the mountain is very clear.

At the moment when Li Mengzhou first arrived in the capital, Jiang Tingyu sent the Heavenly Council to Shuning Town, otherwise it would be difficult to know the identity of 'Fusheng', but at that time, he did not find out anything related to the Outside the Mountain Medicine Emperor, but now that Li Mengzhou was involved with the Mountain Medicine Emperor, Jiang Tingyu decided to go to Shuning Town in person.

His Majesty the Emperor is also very clear about what is happening in the Heavenly Forsaken Wasteland, although only those who are present are clear, but the world's cultivators are also watching, and more or less there will be people who will perceive the words 'Medicine Emperor outside the mountain'.

With the appearance of Lin Dangxiao, the world's vigilance against people outside the mountain has also increased a lot, and Mr. Seven of the Sword Academy of the Palace once seemed to have contact with the Medicine Emperor outside the mountain, which is something that he has to care about.

Maybe before the truth is clarified, no one will make things difficult for Li Mengzhou with this matter, but it is only a matter of time before the investigation comes out, every time he thinks of this, His Majesty the Emperor has a headache, after all, the people outside the mountain are not the affairs of Jiang Guo's family, and the whole world is paying attention.

In fact, this itself is not very worth caring about, everything depends on Lin Dangxiao's attitude, which makes the matter that Li Mengzhou has been in contact with the Medicine Emperor outside the mountain a little unusual.

Outside the main hall, an attendant came quickly, lowered his head, knelt on the ground in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the national teacher asks to see you!"

The national teacher of Jiang Guo is the master of the Star Picking Mansion, Chen Moxi.

He has been in retreat all along, exploring the realm above the five realms, and this time out of the customs made His Majesty the Emperor's eyes light up, and he hurriedly said: "Please!"

Chen Moxi is an old man with gray hair, but his face is very young, very typical of crane hair and childish face, his figure is thin, and the whole person is also very energetic, but he walks a little slowly, although he is outside the mountains and seas, but Chen Moxi has created a new cultivation faction after all, and his status in the cultivation world is also very transcendent, and no one dares to underestimate him.

"Meet Your Majesty. Chen Moxi waved his hand slightly.

His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be in a much better mood, and said, "The national teacher is out of the customs, but he has broken through the five realms?"

Chen Moxi waved his hand again and said: "Back to Your Majesty, I haven't been able to break the barrier of the Five Realms, but I have already stood in front of that barrier, if I break the Xuan Life, it only takes one opportunity, and it is not of great significance to continue the retreat, although I am still in the Five Realms, but under the Xuan Destiny, I am invincible." ”

His Majesty the Emperor was a little disappointed, but he still said with a smile: "Jiang Guo is in a stormy time, and it is a great fortune for our country to go out of the customs. ”

Chen Moxi could understand His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts, and said lightly: "Wei Chen knows about the Heavenly Abandonment Wasteland, and he also knows that Na Lin dares to laugh, he fell from the Five Realms to the realm, and he still has half a foot on the Five Realms, and although Wei Chen failed to break the barriers of the Five Realms, it is equivalent to half a foot stepping into the Xuan Life. ”

The significance of failing to break the barriers of the Five Realms and stepping into the Xuan Ming with half a foot is naturally completely different.

His Majesty the Emperor knew that he had misunderstood Chen Moxi's words just now, even if Chen Moxi was really still in the Five Realms, but he would be able to enter the Xuan Destiny anytime and anywhere, and it was already equivalent to transcending the scope of the Five Realms.

"National teacher, please take a seat. His Majesty the Emperor smiled and reached out to Chen Moxi, and a chamberlain brought a stool and hurriedly retreated.

After Chen Moxi thanked him, he sat down and said: "Lin Dangxiao is very hidden, especially the arrangement of Zhuge Dan hidden in the palace, Weichen knows that His Majesty is worried, but Weichen wants to come, instead of worrying about whether there are still strong people like Lin Dangxiao hidden outside the mountains in the world, it is better to make Langya City solid first, as long as Langya is not broken, my Jiang Kingdom will not be defeated, even if there are any strong people outside the mountains, we are also capable of dealing with it." ”

Lin Dangxiao's appearance was indeed sudden, and the battlefield was in the Heavenly Abandoned Wasteland, and the first to face the cultivation powerhouses and those teenagers who were guarding the Heavenly Abandoned Wasteland, although they paid some price, but Lin Dangxiao also failed to do anything, not to mention that the real powerhouses in Jiang Country did not show up, and for the entire Jiang Country, it was indeed not a great threat, but it was just a little afraid.

If Lin Dangxiao was still Lin Dangxiao during the Demon Swinging Period, in the case of a sudden incident, the demon suppression barrier would probably be broken in an instant, and the cultivators in the world would not have time to react at all, because before that, no one knew about Lin Dangxiao's existence.

Maybe Master Wunian has some insight, but that's just maybe, and it can't be used as a necessary guarantee.

Because Lin Dangxiao needs to return to the Five Realms, and he also needs to use the power of Luoqing Ming, he has no ability to break the demon suppression barrier in the short term, and it is precisely because Lin Dangxiao has fallen to the realm that those strong people in the world can sit firmly like a mountain, because they know very well that Lin Dangxiao can't do anything.

But I have to worry about it, if there are also hidden powerhouses like Lin Dangxiao in the world, and there is no fall to the realm, it will be a great disaster, not to mention that most of the people who participated in the war in the Heavenly Abandoned Wasteland are cultivators of the Jiang Kingdom, so it is normal for His Majesty the Emperor to be worried.

Moreover, the world is so big, only people outside the mountains have appeared in the territory of Jiang Kingdom, which is also the key to worrying His Majesty the Emperor.

Chen Moxi's words also made His Majesty the Emperor understand that it is pointless to worry about the sky, as long as Jiang Guo is strong enough, then even if there is a strong man from outside the mountain who makes a comeback, it will not affect the foundation of Jiang Guo.

"What countermeasures does the national teacher have?"

Chen Moxi said lightly: "Open the Thousand Seas Realm, let the younger generation of cultivators enter the Thousand Seas for an epiphany, especially those young monks who are already standing at the peak of the Four Realms, they can use their luck to cross the threshold of the Five Realms with a high probability and increase the overall strength of my Jiang Country, as for letting those young cultivators from all the countries of the world also enter the Thousand Seas together, it doesn't matter, after all, there is a limit to their number, and our Jiang Kingdom has never been so stingy." ”

......

Although the downpour that swept the whole world has stopped, there is still a dampness between heaven and earth that does not go away for a long time, and the smoke in the imperial study room makes the hall warm and dry, which is the most comfortable state, the queen mother Lian walked lightly, came to the side of His Majesty the Emperor, she personally made tea, every step is very serious, and that appearance is reflected in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, it is the most beautiful appearance in the world.

His Majesty's stupid eyes were placed on her, and the Empress Mother could naturally detect it, she pursed her lips and chuckled, handed the brewed tea to His Majesty the Emperor, and said softly: "Opening the Thousand Seas Realm is something that Jiang Guo will do every few years, but the National Teacher's proposal to open the Thousand Seas Realm at this time seems a bit hasty." ”

His Majesty the Emperor took the teacup, and by the way, he gently grabbed the queen mother's soft twink, let her sit beside her, and said: "Chen Moxi is a very ambitious person, at that stage of the demon period, it was my father who sat in this position, and I was not born yet, it should be a very wonderful world, but I didn't have the opportunity to see it." ”

"Xue Wangyou, Chen Moxi and Li Daoling all emerged at that time, and they were the leaders of the younger generation, and now that Li Daoling is dead, Xue Wangwu and Chen Moxi are also old, but they are still Jiang Guo's people who stand in a very high position. ”

"Chen Moxi wants to be the first, but he has never been the first, now he is walking in front of Xue Wangwu, I can feel his pride, opening the Thousand Seas Realm is indeed a must to do, I still believe that even if Chen Moxi is ambitious, he is not in the court, and he will not do anything to damage Jiang Guo. ”

His Majesty the Emperor took a sip of tea, put the tea cup on the table, and gently grabbed the queen's shoulder, and the queen mother also took advantage of the situation to lie in His Majesty's arms, and said softly: "After Lin Dare to laugh, the world probably knows what our Jiang Kingdom is doing, the Heavenly Council has already had news, and there are young people in all countries who have left, maybe as Your Majesty said, the matter of opening the Thousand Seas Realm is imminent, but the people outside the mountain are concerned about the whole world, they just watch the excitement, making our Jiang Country in the center of chaos, I am afraid that there are some other thoughts." ”

His Majesty the Emperor hugged the Empress tightly and said: "Except for Beiyan, although the world is relatively peaceful, they are actually all waiting for the opportunity, and they can't destroy my Jiang Kingdom, it doesn't mean that they don't want to, just because Langya City is indestructible, and there are academies in the countries to check and balance." ”

"Jiang Guo is in the center of the world, it will inevitably be embattled, in the period of my father's emperor, Jiang Guo almost experienced the disaster of destroying the country, I have always been very clear, only let Jiang Guo become strong enough, in order to make the enemies on all sides throw a mouse, but Jiang Guo has never been strong enough, just barely self-preservation. ”

"If you defend, you are as solid as gold, but you have no offensive power, but how long can you defend it? I am not as good as my father, I can only try to be as strong as possible in my lifetime, otherwise if I also go, Jiang Guo will really be finished." ”

Jiang country is vast, and in the world must fight for the place, it is difficult to get rid of the situation of making enemies on all sides, even if some dynasties maintain neutrality and are unwilling to participate in the war, but for Jiang country, there is no meaning, Jiang country is fragrant, there will always be people who want to take a bite, how can they easily trust other countries.

In addition to the vast territory, the advantage of Jiang Guo is that Langya City and the Academy, Langya City is inside, and the Academy is outside, but the Academy does not mean that there is definitely no problem, His Majesty the Emperor absolutely trusts the Pear Flower Academy, but he really can't fully trust the academies that take root in other countries, just as Yun Qingchuan is outside the mountain, even the Pear Blossom Academy will have problems, not to mention those academies that are no longer Jiang people.

As an emperor, there is no way to trust anyone easily, and you must have a back hand.

......

The speed of the carriage was very smooth, at least Li Mengzhou, who was sitting in the carriage, did not feel anything, he regained some strength a little, but he still felt that his body was a little heavy, and his current appearance was also a little unbearable, the feeling of muscle tearing was very uncomfortable, even the bones were broken a lot, and there were very clear cracks on the skin, as if they had been re-stitched, which was very weird.

Sniffing the breath that belonged to the capital, Li Mengzhou's mood also became a lot easier, he didn't suffer from gains and losses, he wasn't very excited, he was just very calm.

He likes Langya City, and even wants to live here forever, because he has found the feeling of being a teenager here, and he doesn't have to worry about life and death, even if the problem of life and death has been entangled with him, but he can always find a chance to forget, it may seem very naïve, and it does not match the original him, as if the character collapsed, but that is indeed the feeling he has been looking for.

It's a pity that that feeling has become a thing of the past forever, after all, youth will always pass, even if his youth comes later, and it is shorter, but there is more or less something worth recalling, so thinking about it, it is enough.

Returning to the capital, or coming to the capital again, is different from the state of mind when he first came here, at that time he was more like a naïve teenager, the first time he saw the prosperity of the world, instead of being dark and dirty everywhere, maybe he was not naïve, he just hoped that he was very naïve, because that was a little boy.

And coming back this time is the real Li Mengzhou, he doesn't need that naivety anymore, and it's time to go back to the past.

The sound of horses' hooves is approaching, outside the south gate of Langya City, there are soldiers guarding the city, and there are also disciples of various cultivation mountain gates, they have different costumes and stand in different directions, among them there are the four gentlemen of the Sword Academy of the Palace, Ning Haoran.

He was still the same as before, but his body had become weaker.

The carriage stopped outside the South City Gate.

Li Mengzhou lifted the curtains, stared at the figure of the fourth senior brother, and frowned slightly.

He sensed that the fourth senior brother was in something unusual.

It is like returning to the pristine nature above the five realms, and it is also like an ordinary person who has no cultivation.

The road was wet, the green hills outside the city were glowing with the rain after the rain, and the city walls were also a little damp, and the rain was so heavy that the dampness did not dissipate so easily.

There are also fallen trees on both sides of the road, but they have been cleaned up, but there are still traces to be found.

Xiao Zhinan returned to the Xianfu Inn, Shen Qiubai and Bei Zangfeng also returned separately, Tang Wenliu attacked the face saint, Li Mengzhou did not return to Chaosi Lane as soon as possible, but followed Zhuo Bingchun and Ning Haoran along the path outside the city, straight to the palace sword courtyard.

The autumn rain is bleak, and the cold wind blows in the green hills, bringing bursts of earthy scent.

The carriage moved forward slowly, Zhuo Bingchun sat in the wheel, Jiang Zihua and Ye Jinyu were also in the other carriage, and Ning Haoran was walking beside him, his pace was the same as that of the carriage.

The rain stopped, but there were still water droplets on the leaves that were blown off by the wind, faintly splashing on Li Mengzhou's face, he looked at Ning Haoran through the window, and said in a deep voice: "Fourth Senior Brother has broken through the realm?"

Ning Haoran shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not a broken realm, but a fallen realm." ”

Li Mengzhou frowned, "Why?"

He didn't know that Mr. 3 and Mr. 4 of the Imperial Sword Academy had gone to Qinghai Town, Dongjun, and that something had happened there, something very bad.

Regarding Li Mengzhou's question, Ning Haoran was silent.

On the carriage that followed, Ouyang Shengxue was also frowning at Ning Haoran, he could sense that something must have happened to Ning Haoran, otherwise it would be impossible to fall.

In such a quiet atmosphere, they soon came to the foot of Riknomiya Mountain.

Zhuo Bingchun stopped the carriage, looked at Ning Haoran and said, "Help your junior brother down." ”

Ning Haoran nodded, and in the other carriage, Jiang Zihua and they all walked down and helped Ning Haoran carry Li Mengzhou out of the carriage together.

"You're badly hurt. ”

Ning Haoran was a little worried.

Jiang Zihua said: "He is in the limelight, even Shen Qiubai and Mr. Bei are helpless, but he pulled out his sword at Lin Dangxiao, it was like dying, he was alive, I was very surprised." ”

Ouyang Shengxue glanced at Li Mengzhou and said: "In that case, if you still have the strength left, you should draw your sword, the junior brother did a good job, I should have been in the front as a senior brother, but in the face of Lin Dare to laugh, I have no power to fight back, this is really a very shit encounter." ”

As soon as his words fell, the people around him looked at him in surprise, and Ning Haoran even opened his mouth and said, "Senior brother, you are swearing?"

Ouyang Shengxue glanced at him and said, "Because it's really shit." ”

Maybe the embarrassed appearance in the Heavenly Forsaken Wasteland was quite bad for Ouyang Shengxue, and he really couldn't describe it in any clean words.

Jiang Zi's painting can be understood by them, because it is just as bad for them.

It's really bad like shit.

Jiang Zihua carried Li Mengzhou on his back, Shen Jiyue was carefully guarded by the side, and the group walked towards the mountain.

Ouyang Shengxue and Ning Haoran walked side by side, and the former said with some hesitation: "You are not just falling into the realm, what happened?"

Ning Haoran was also very hesitant, but looking at Ye Jinyu and the eyes they also cast one after another, he finally slowly told him what happened in Qinghai Town, and finally smiled very calmly, "Although the Qi Sea Lingyuan was plundered, I am at least alive, it is not the worst, and it is only a matter of time to return to cultivation, and I have now returned to the Three Realms, taking a walk in the Sword Courtyard every day, eating, and sleeping until I wake up naturally, I feel good." ”

Even if Ning Haoran said it very easily, the people who heard it all had heavy expressions, they were more or less robbed of part of the Qi Sea Spirit Yuan by Lin Dangxiao in the Heavenly Forsaken Wasteland, but that kind of Qi Sea Spirit Yuan was very small, and it was easy to recover, but Ning Haoran's Qi Sea Spirit Yuan was plundered clean, and it was difficult to return to the peak period, and it was even more difficult to go further.

Li Mengzhou was lying on the back of Jiang Zihua, and he heard every word of Ning Haoran very clearly, his expression was not so heavy, but said with a smile: "The fourth senior brother is very powerful, even if there is only the cultivation of the three realms now, it is still very easy to beat Jiang Zihua." ”

"Hey!"

On the mountain road, Jiang Zihua's extremely dissatisfied voice sounded, and there were bursts of laughter.
