The capital, outside the South City Gate.

The scorching sun bakes the earth.

Shen Qiubai and Bei Zangfeng stood in the shade, silently looking at the endless stream of people at the city gate.

They walked along the official road.

Bei Zangfeng is still holding the book in his hand, it is the northern character scroll in the "Vertical and Horizontal Scroll", the content is very short, I don't know how many times it has been turned over, and the book still does not leave his hand.

"Ouyang Shengxue is going back to the capital. ”

Shen Qiubai looked ahead and said softly: "He is the first sword of the Palace Sword Academy, he has been walking in the world for many years, and he must have become stronger, I am looking forward to him being able to get one step closer to that threshold, but I don't want him to really walk in front of us." ”

Beizang Feng was silent for a moment and said, "When Ouyang Shengxue was cultivating outside, we were all practicing separately, when did Brother Shen have this thought? Is he worried that he will be surpassed?"

Shen Qiubai said: "Don't you think that in recent years, there have been more and more cultivators who have crossed the threshold of the four realms, not because their qualifications have become higher, but because there has been a change in the luck between heaven and earth, which has led to the subtle acceleration of the cultivation of the realm, although the higher the realm, the less obvious this change is, but the once depleted qi luck seems to have gradually shown signs of recovery." ”

"Of course, this is a very good thing for the cultivators of the world, but the possibility of being overtaken by those who come after them will also increase, so I don't think anything about it, I just think that this phenomenon is very strange. ”

Bei Zangfeng said: "Heaven and earth luck is the most unpredictable thing, just as there was no warning when luck was exhausted in the past, and now it is just normal for luck to recover again. ”

For some reason, the luck of heaven and earth disappears, and because of some opportunity, the luck of heaven and earth recovers, and there is always a certain law, but it has not been discovered for the time being.

What's more, there are only some signs now, and the luck of heaven and earth has not really fully recovered.

Shen Qiubai looked ahead at this time, slowly stopped, and said, "People are here." ”

Bei Zangfeng looked at it, and a man in a green shirt was stepping on the dust in front of the official road.

"Ouyang Shengxue's clothes are a little torn, it seems that something very bad has happened. ”

Bei Zangfeng's eyes were vicious, and he could see many holes in the green shirt from a long distance.

Shen Qiubai said with some confusion: "Ouyang Shengxue cherishes his clothes very much, even if he replaces, it is the same type of clothing, someone can actually break his green shirt?"

In the process of their conversation, Ouyang Shengxue also came to them.

Although she is dusty, Ouyang Shengxue's complexion is very good, with red lips and white teeth.

He patted the dust on his body, and the scorching sun made him squint his eyes slightly, and said with a chuckle: "I thought that when I returned to the capital, the first thing I saw should be the junior brothers and sisters, but I didn't expect it to be Brother Qiubai and Brother Zangfeng." ”

Shen Qiubai smiled and said, "Could it be that Brother Ouyang doesn't want to see us?"

Ouyang Shengxue said: "I naturally want to see everyone in the capital, including Brother Qiu Bai and Brother Zang Feng. ”

Bei Zangfeng was silent, and Shen Qiubai continued: "Brother Ouyang has returned to the capital, and we have come to pick up the wind and wash the dust from now on, and we will not delay Brother Ouyang's urgent mood to return to the Palace Sword Academy. ”

Ouyang Shengxue said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm also very happy to be able to meet the two of you just after returning to the capital." ”

Shen Qiubai pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Ouyang, have you ever heard that there are three more gentlemen in your palace sword academy?"

Ouyang Shengxue said: "This matter spread very quickly, I heard about it on the way, in addition to Senior Brother Ye and Senior Brother Jiang, there seems to be a new junior junior brother. ”

In fact, when Ouyang Shengxue walked in the world, he rarely paid attention to the situation in the capital, but occasionally he would hear about some things, and any major events in the capital, or relatively unusual things, could be spread to various places in a short period of time.

So although Ouyang Shengxue didn't know what kind of stories had happened in the capital since he left, he still knew a little about individual things.

For example, there was a young man who had been contemplating Amaterasu for half a day, but he couldn't see the sea of qi.

The case of the assassination of court officials Tang Taijing and Yue Shiting.

and the deeds of the boy who couldn't see the sea of qi and defeated his opponent across the border on the fifth floor of the Panlong Banquet.

The incident of the monks outside the mountain was deliberately concealed by the court, but it did not spread in the territory of Jiang Kingdom.

Shen Qiubai said: "Mr. Seven of the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace, but there are a lot of things in the capital, and the one thing that is close to him is to kill Lu Changge, a disciple of the true inheritance of the Immortal Mountain, and provoke the Lord of the Lu Mountain, and now he is being locked up by Dean Xue in the Sword Cliff to think about it." ”

Ouyang Shengxue was stunned for a moment, although she was surprised by the deeds of the little junior brother in the capital, she also knew that the teacher locked the little junior brother in the Sword Cliff, which was obviously not a punishment.

He said to Shen Qiubai and Bei Zangfeng: "I'll have a good time with the two of you another day, I have to go back to the palace first." ”

Seeing Ouyang Shengxue's figure sweeping towards the capital, Bei Zangfeng was silent for a moment and said, "Now that Ouyang Shengxue is back, I'm afraid that one will also come to the door." ”

Shen Qiubai smiled and said, "It's interesting, isn't it." ”

......

Leaving the palace sword temple.

There were a lot of people gathered in front of the mountain gate, all of them were disciples of the Sword Academy, and they were all looking forward to the return of the senior brother.

During Ouyang Shengxue's departure from the mountain, the new disciples were also very curious about the senior brothers of the Sword Academy, and they were looking forward to it.

"Big Brother is back!"

"That's Senior Brother!"

"Senior brother is so good-looking!"

Suddenly there were exclamations in front of the mountain gate, and they all looked at the figure coming from the mountain road, quite excited.

Ning Haoran and Jiang Zihua stood beside the white stone tablet, and they greeted Ouyang Shengxue.

"Big brother. The two saluted Ouyang Shengxue.

Ouyang Shengxue smiled and said: "Fourth Senior Brother, and the new Sixth Senior Brother, I have long understood that the lazy and uncompetitive Senior Brother Jiang will one day become the personal heirloom of the Palace Sword Academy, it seems that my idea is not wrong, the junior brother has grown a lot, but he is still so cute." ”

Jiang Zihua was very embarrassed, he did show a high cultivation qualification when he first entered the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace, but due to his personality, his cultivation progress became slower and slower, and he was thinking about being lazy all the time, and he felt very ashamed to be praised by the senior brother.

The brothers briefly reminisced about the old days, and in the face of the admiring eyes of those unfamiliar faces of the younger brothers and sisters, Ouyang Shengxue also always maintained a smile like a spring breeze.

Shen Jiyue and He Zhengrong were also in the crowd.

"Senior brother is really good-looking. ”

Although Shen Jiyue was not an exaggerated nymphomaniac, she also clasped her hands on her chest and looked at Ouyang Shengxue with admiration.

He Zhengrong was silent, he appeared here just to see the true face of the senior brother of the Sword Academy, that would be his ultimate goal, his original goal was to surpass Li Mengzhou.

Zhou Luo and Xin Ming were also in the crowd, and the latter said enviously: "It would be nice if one day I could be like Senior Brother." ”

The cultivation realm of the disciples who were admitted to the palace together last year has gradually opened.

He Zhengrong has already stood in front of the threshold of the Four Realms, and Shen Jiyue and Zhou Luo have also broken through to the peak of the Chengyi Realm, Xin Ming has only barely broken through to the Chengyi Upper Realm, among the cultivators with ordinary qualifications, Xin Ming can be regarded as standing in the forefront, but compared with the real genius, he has fallen too far behind.

Since his state of mind is stable, he is focused on cultivation, and his progress is also very significant, due to the problem of cultivation qualifications, he can't catch up with Li Mengzhou, but he is not as unconvinced as before, which is already a very good thing.

Slowly and gradually, sooner or later you can cross the threshold of the four realms.

Ouyang Shengxue entered the mountain gate, and Ning Haoran and Jiang Zihua accompanied him to the lake hut in the inner courtyard.

The bamboo chair was still in its original position.

The flask is also placed in the same position.

Of course, the person lying on the bamboo chair is also the same.

Ouyang Shengxue saluted respectfully and called, "Teacher." ”

Xue Wangwu half-opened his eyes, glanced at Ouyang Shengxue, and said lazily: "I'm back." ”

Ouyang Shengxue smiled and said: "Following the teacher's teachings, the disciple has seen a lot of scenery in the world, and he has also seen the most beautiful moments in those landscapes, and my sword has also cut through the filth in many beautiful landscapes. ”

Xue Wangwu said calmly: "The scenery can be seen anywhere, the important thing is that you can understand why those scenery exist, and why you chose to draw your sword." ”

Ouyang Shengxue nodded solemnly and said: "I once passed by Liang County, Nan County, where mountain bandits were rampant, and the people of Liang County were miserable, I drew my sword to kill all the mountain bandits, but I found that there were people outside the mountain hidden in the mountains of Liang County. ”

Jiang Zihua was surprised and said, "There are actually people from outside the mountains in a small Liang County?"

Ouyang Shengxue looked at Jiang Zihua in confusion and said, "What do you mean by what Sixth Senior Brother said this?"

Ning Haoran replied for Jiang Zihua: "Senior brother, there are also people from outside the mountains in the capital, and even plotting to harm the queen mother, this matter has been concealed, except for some big people in the capital and a few cultivation mountain gates that have carried out operations, no more people know about this matter. ”

Ouyang Shengxue looked at his teacher and said with a solemn expression: "How could so many people from outside the mountains suddenly appear?"

Xue Wangwu took a sip of wine and said: "Maybe there is some problem with the demon suppression barrier, but I don't know if it is the wasteland or the snow mountain, if there is a problem in the wasteland, the Tang God General who is guarding there should be aware of it, if even the Tang God General can't detect it at all, I am afraid the problem will be very serious." ”

The method of forcibly plundering the Qi Sea Spirit Yuan was sealed along with the people outside the mountain, although it could not cut off all possibilities, but it was indeed difficult for the cultivators in the mountains and rivers to get in touch with that evil method, and there must have been some kind of problem with the demon suppression barrier.

It's just not clear what the problem is.

"Fortunately, the monks outside the mountain who appeared at present, Zhuge Dan has crossed the threshold of the five realms, which shows that there are no strong monks outside the mountain, but Zhuge Dan has been hiding in the palace for a long time, and the monks outside the mountain must have a big conspiracy, and the problem of the demon suppression barrier is definitely not now. ”

Ning Haoran pondered and said, "This matter should be reported to Your Majesty as soon as possible, whether it is a wasteland or a snow-capped mountain, someone needs to go to verify it." ”

Ouyang Shengxue said: "The Heavenly Abandonment Snow Mountain is in the territory of Northern Yan, if a large number of Jiang Country cultivators enter, I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble. ”

Many people in the capital didn't know that Liu Feiyu had returned to the capital, but even if some people were not notified, they couldn't hide it, not to mention that they didn't hide it, but the fact that Liu Feiyu was seriously injured couldn't be publicized after all.

Xue Wangwei can also be regarded as one of the insiders.

At this juncture, if a cultivator from the Jiang Kingdom enters the territory of Northern Yan, there will indeed be some trouble, which is likely to make the Northern Yan royal family wake up, or even secretly intercept it.

The location of the Heavenly Forsaken Wasteland is at a junction between the western border of Jiang Kingdom and the southern border of the Western Jin Dynasty, and there is a Tang God General who guards the western border there, compared to the Snow Mountain, the situation of exploring the wasteland is relatively simpler.

"You only need to report this matter to Your Majesty, and you don't need to worry about what to do. ”
