Silkworm Annihilation Chapter 6 The Mountain Gate in the Capital
Li Mengzhou watched all this silently.
He suddenly felt as if he had been cheated.
If the man in Tsing Yi who died earlier returned to the capital with some important information, then this should be the place of contact, how could he casually let a stranger in?
Although Li Mengzhou hates being asked by others, in this case, being asked is the most normal, right?
Li Mengzhou glanced behind him, after the man in Tsing Yi closed the courtyard door, he followed him closely, and when he was about to enter the hall, the man in Tsing Yi suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Take out what doesn't belong to you." ”
Li Mengzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, he was about to say something, but thinking that the dead man in Tsing Yi just asked him to help send something, then it was good to send it back by himself, and there was no need to get involved.
He wanted to take this opportunity to get in touch with the cultivators in the capital, but looking at the appearance of the man in green clothes in front of him, it seemed difficult.
He didn't hesitate long, reached into his arms, and handed the letter to the other party.
He also had no reason to doubt the identity and purpose of the man in Tsing Yi, it had nothing to do with him anyway, he had already completed the entrustment of the dead man in Tsing Yi.
Although he did so, it was inevitable that he would have some doubts in his heart.
He had lost interest in the place he had come, so he planned to leave.
And the man in Tsing Yi didn't stop him, just watched silently, and his gaze was a little weird.
Even with his back to the man in Tsing Yi, Li Mengzhou could feel this gaze, and he had no doubt that the other party would kill him.
So he was secretly vigilant and ready to go out at any time.
At the same time, he still walked towards the courtyard gate.
The moment his hand touched the latch of the door, a fierce murderous force appeared behind him.
He seemed to be in the woods, and the wolves were watching him closely, and the wolves were all over the forest, surrounding him and there was no way to retreat.
The outstretched hand turned to his back, grabbed the handle of the knife, pulled it out violently, turned upside down, and slashed out, and the qi was released, and the blade rushed away, with a burst of explosions.
All the movements were done in an instant, and the speed of the knife was so fast that the air was directly torn apart, and it seemed to explode all along the way.
Electric flashes.
There was a thud of the bell.
Blades collide with blades.
The powerful impact was transmitted from the blade to the wrist, and then all over the body, Li Mengzhou trembled suddenly, his feet retreated sharply, and his back hit the courtyard door, making a muffled sound.
I don't know if the wooden door is very strong, or the man in Tsing Yi has a good control of his strength, although he hit Li Mengzhou hard, but he didn't destroy the courtyard gate.
Li Mengzhou felt the blood surge, and swallowed back the blood that was about to be spit out.
He was already much stronger than before he arrived in the capital, but he was still vulnerable when facing the man in Tsing Yi.
When his face was cloudy, the man in green clothes suddenly spoke: "It turned out to be a martial arts master on the rivers and lakes, there is nothing for you to do here, please go back." ”
As he spoke, he ignored Li Mengzhou anymore, walked straight into the hall and closed the door of the hall.
Li Mengzhou's emotional ups and downs quickly calmed down, glanced at the door of the hall coldly, turned around to open the courtyard door, and walked out.
After a while, the man in green clothes came out again, closed the courtyard door again, and when he turned around, there was already an additional figure in the courtyard.
He bowed his head and saluted, "Chief." ”
The head of the division was a middle-aged man, dressed in a plain white robe, raised his hand slightly to signal the man in green clothes to be polite, and said softly: "Qing Jiu's task is well done, you will bury him alive, send someone to bring back the corpse of the dead brother outside the city, and clean up the traces of the scene." ”
The man in Tsing Yi bowed down and said, "Huh." ”
Receiving the letter handed over by the man in Tsing Yi, the head of the division was silent for a moment and said: "Although Qing Jiu was forced to hand over the secret report to that young man for forwarding, it at least proves that he trusts that young man, otherwise he would rather destroy the secret report than hand it over to outsiders." Check the origin of the young man carefully, and be able to gain Qing Jiu's trust in a very short time, even if it may be only a little bit, that young man should be an interesting person. ”
......
Li Mengzhou returned to the inn, passing by the place where the man in Tsing Yi was fighting with others, but strangely found that the bodies of several people had been swept away, and there was not even a trace of blood left.
He could probably guess who did it, but not long after he went to Tongming Lane and left, the other party's movements were too fast.
Li Mengzhou was very sure that the man in Tsing Yi in Tongming Lane was also a powerful cultivator, and his cultivation was only higher than that of the dead man.
But what he was even more puzzled about was who the sword behind him was aimed at when he appeared in front of the gate of the small courtyard with white feathers.
Although the cultivators above Cheng Artistic Conception were enough to kill hundreds of him at will, he still felt unreasonably that it was not the man in green clothes that this sword was wary of, but someone else.
The man in Tsing Yi may just be a slave, although Li Mengzhou can't guess who they are loyal to, but just a slave can kill him at will, which is undoubtedly a very self-respecting thing.
He silently thought about what he should do, and joining a certain cultivation mountain gate seemed to be an inevitable thing.
But he couldn't decide which mountain gate to choose.
What's more, now that he knows little about the capital, he will have to investigate it tomorrow.
After falling asleep with mixed emotions, he woke up early the next day and began to wander around the capital, going to crowded places, especially inns and wine shops.
It was about the afternoon when he returned to the inn where he was staying.
After some understanding of him, there were only three more famous and promising cultivation mountain gates in the capital.
The largest cultivation mountain gate in the Jiang Kingdom, the Star Picking Mansion, is not in the capital, but there are indeed disciples of the Star Picking Mansion in the capital, and they also have their own Xingguan.
There are indeed assessment rules in Xingguan, as long as you can pass the test, you can join the Star Picking Mansion, but Li Mengzhou will definitely not consider it.
Although he didn't plan to join the Star Picking Mansion from the beginning, he spent most of his day investigating the Star Picking Mansion.
The Star Picking Mansion is the only existence in Jiang Country that can stand side by side with the National Religion Pear Blossom Academy, so although the capital is only the Xingguan of the Xingfu Mansion, the star lord of the Xingxing Mansion will occasionally come to the capital and live in the Xingguan, and even be able to drink with the emperor and serve as the national teacher.
The national teacher is the title given by the emperor to the master of the Tao who has both learning and virtue, and the status is naturally respected, but in fact, the national teacher does not have much power, nor is it an official position, Jiang Guo already has the authentic Pear Blossom Academy of the national religion, and the title of the national teacher is only an honorific title granted because of the status of the star master of the Star Picking Mansion in the world of cultivators, which means the same treatment as the state religion.
Since he has the status of a national teacher in the court, even if he has the identity of the star lord of the Star Picking Mansion, although the emperor allows him not to go to the early dynasty, he still has to stay in the capital most of the time.
Unfortunately, the star lord of the Star Picking Mansion is not in the capital.
In addition to the Star Picking Mansion, the cultivation mountain gate that really stands in the capital, in addition to the Ewha Academy, which has the status of the state religion, there are only the Leaving Palace Sword Academy and the Mountain that does not fall.
Not falling down the mountain is a very common cultivation mountain gate, but it is better because there are many disciples, although it succumbs to the end in the capital mountain gate, it also belongs to the upper mountain gate, and in the whole world of cultivators, not falling down the mountain is not the end.
And the Sword Courtyard of the Imperial Palace is the Sword Cultivation Mountain Gate, and it is also the only Sword Cultivation Mountain Gate in the entire Jiang Country, and it is also a rare Sword Cultivation Mountain Gate in the whole world.
The sword cultivators are withering, and if it is said that there are the most disciples under the Shan Sect, then the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace is just the opposite.
If it weren't for Xue Wangyou, the dean of the Palace Sword Academy, who was respected as the first person to cultivate the sword of Jiang Kingdom, I am afraid that it would be difficult for the Palace Sword Academy to survive, and the entire Sword Academy would rely on the name of Xue Wangwu to survive.
However, the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace originally implemented the concept of not having more essences, so there were many geniuses in the Sword Academy, and Ouyang Shengxue, the senior brother of the Sword Academy, was the one who could compete with Shen Qiubai, who had the reputation of the son of Dao Heaven in Jiang Guo.
He is also one of the best among the young generation of cultivators in the entire Jiang Kingdom.
With Xue Wangwu and Ouyang Shengxue here, the Palace Sword Academy can be invincible, so that in the case of withering talents, the reputation is still slightly better.
Xue Wangwu is one of the strongest in the capital of Jiang Kingdom.
Looking at the entire Jiang Kingdom, Xue Wangwu can also be called a leading figure, and no one dares to underestimate him, which has established the status of the Palace Sword Academy in the capital.
It is the strongest mountain gate except for Ewha Academy and Star Picking Mansion.
......
This was Li Mengzhou's second day in the capital, and it was also the second night.
A lot happened on the first day, and the first night also saw the battle of the cultivators.
However, what happened on the first day did not seem to affect the calm of the second day.
A few people died on the South Street of the outer city, as if a stone had sunk into the sea, and it did not make any waves.
But Li Mengzhou vaguely felt that the matter was not over yet.
So, some strangers came to the inn.
Li Mengzhou was thinking about things in the inn, and he was very focused, so he didn't notice that someone was approaching the room he was, maybe he couldn't have noticed it in the first place.
Then someone broke into the door, and Li Mengzhou was captured before he could resist.
He was calm, on the contrary.
It seemed like something he should have been able to predict.
He couldn't think of who he could turn to for help, maybe he could think of the Yu family in the mysterious Gentle Township, but he was firmly controlled, and he didn't seem to have the ability to go to Gentle Township for help.
So he chose to compromise.
After all, he didn't die, so he still had a way to live.
He came to Tongming Lane again, and he had some understanding in his heart.
As the courtyard gate with white feathers hanging in front of the door was opened, Li Mengzhou saw the man in Tsing Yi who shot at him the night before, and he later learned that the name of the man in Tsing Yi was Qing Yi, which was very easy to remember.
Qing Yi was not the only one in the small courtyard, he was standing behind a middle-aged man in a plain white robe at the moment, bowing his head respectfully, and did not look at Li Mengzhou.
In addition to the middle-aged man, there was also a richly dressed and handsome man, his eyes were very attentive, as if he could penetrate the depths of his soul, just by glancing, Li Mengzhou's heart was shocked.
