A carriage hanging a yellow curtain drove into the city of Emperor Wu of the East China Sea, after entering the city, it attracted countless side eyes, in addition to the carriage itself is very eye-catching, but also because the driving groom is the long-famous master of Tai'an City, Qi Jiajie, the first swordsman in the capital for more than ten years, Qi Jiajie white clothes, white shoes and white sheath sword, even if people are middle-aged, they are still like a crown of jade, and their demeanor is outstanding. Qi Jiajie's saber scabbard is extremely long, but the "white frost" is actually very short, only slightly longer than the dagger, no one knows why the short sword has a long sheath, there are only a few times over the years, and there are not many swords, which can be regarded as a handful. Qi Jiajie practiced swordsmanship, was born in the wild road, and was not a famous master in the world, and then he was born out of thin air, becoming one of the top figures in the sword forest in the world after Li Chungang and Deng Tai'a, several princes who are now in the domain, as well as Zhang Shoufu's daughter Zhang Gaoxia, some of the most top-notch powerful children in Liyang, are all protégés of this person, and their achievements are high or low, but they are not cheesy. Furthermore, it is a customary rule for the imperial court not to interfere in Tai'an City, so the abrupt entry of this carriage into the city has caused a great panic in Emperor Wu City, you must know that there are too many people in the rivers and lakes who have been murdered in Ludao City, and they are all huge bandits and big criminals who are on the wanted list.

Some of the first-class masters who had tasted the great hardships of the human cat Han Mink Temple were even more popular, and they were ready to be mourning dogs again.

Qi Jiajie drove and parked under the city wall full of celebrity heavy weapons in the inner city, a eunuch wearing a bright red python robe lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage. In fact, this eunuch is very young, Song Tanglu, but he is in the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal, and he is another eunuch in the world after Han Shengxuan, he raised his head and looked deeply at the city wall, revealing a trace of imperceptible bitterness, the owner of this city, how can he not be a king with a different surname who has divided the territory? To reason with this person, Song Tanglu has no confidence even if he has a carefully worded holy decree. Qi Jiajie is the first-class Jianghu scattered immortals who have reached the heavens, it can be said that they are hidden in the court, there is no need to observe anyone, it is far less worried than Song Tanglu, he leisurely told the eunuchs around him those anecdotes of the rivers and lakes nailed to the wall, Song Tanglu was absent-minded, but he was used to being cautious, and he still listened to the story of this "emperor" who was expected to become the "emperor" of the rivers and lakes.

Soon someone walked down the city to welcome the guests, Qi Jiajie's eyes lit up, it was Wang Laowei's personal disciple Lou Huang, and the sword "Bodhisattva Barbarian" , Sacrifice the way to seek skill, on the way to practice the sword lame forward, so there is a little Deng Tai'a said, the three of them climbed the stairs together, there are already a few people standing at the head of the city waiting, Qi Jiajie recognized most of them according to the rumors of the rivers and lakes, riding a girl in green around the neck, should be Wang Xianzhi's big apprentice Yu groom, the tall and majestic but rich beauty, has been ranked three times in the rouge review, is the boxing master Lin Ya, she is teasing the girl on the neck of the groom, but Qi Jiajie did not find the scar on the head but wearing a Taoist robe of the palace Banque, but there is a young man with deep cheeks and a withered face, with a tattered ivory fan hanging around his waist, he stood a little far away from the groom Lin Ya, looking at the East China Sea in a daze. Song Tanglu glanced at it, and after seeing the young man's side face, he paused slightly, then looked at Yu Groom quietly, and asked softly: "Yu Gongzi, our master of ceremonies Song Tanglu, I don't know where the city lord is?"

Yu Groom, who was holding the legs of the green-clothed girl with both hands, apologized and said: "Master has already gone out of the city with Senior Brother Gong, but I know that Song Mink Temple is coming, and I specially asked me to bring a word to Tai'an City." ”

Song Tanglu snorted, without the slightest resentment or loss, his eyes were calm, and he said, "Yu Gongzi said that it doesn't matter." ”

Yu Groom smiled and said: "Master said that he sent a letter to Tai'an City before, not to ask for a promise, but to say hello to the son of the Zhao family, this trip out of the city is the last time he will appear in the world, if anyone wants to get in the way." ”

Speaking of this, the girl in green lowered her head and whispered in the groom's ear, he had to gently pat her little head, and asked her to let herself finish speaking, and when the girl stopped, Yu groom continued: "You can get a 10,000 iron horse first." ”

Qi Jiajie frowned, and at the same time, Lin Yao looked straight at the disgruntled number one swordsman in the capital.

Song Tanglu seems to be born with a chronic son who does not smoke and does not enter the fire, and when he heard this kind of rebellious words, he just wrote it down very carefully, and he still looked like a mud bodhisattva without a temper, and it was like the palm print of the master of ceremonies in the capital.

Yu Groom also said calmly: "Yu is not inconsiderate of the capital's thoughts, that King of Beiliang should not die at this moment, it is best to die after losing both with Beimang." It's just that the master doesn't want to wait, and those of us who are apprentices naturally don't dare to say anything. If this is a bad thing, there is also good news to say to Song Zhangyin, that is, since the day the master went out of the city, the imperial court will spread the first Wudi City in the future, and it doesn't matter if you even enter the city to arrest people and kill people, there is no more access control in the East China Sea. Yu Mou said this, and he also wanted to go out of the city with his younger brothers and sisters, planning to go to the rivers and lakes. ”

Song Tanglu nodded, and said gently: "Jing is equal to the son becoming famous in one fell swoop. ”

Song Tanglu obviously does not have martial arts, but all of the masters present are the most top-notch grandmasters in the rivers and lakes, but listening to his words and observing his qi, it seems to be completely from the bottom of his heart, which can be called impeccable. Of course, it is not excluded that this person is indeed gentle and calm, but such a eunuch can really ascend to the sky step by step and take over the palm print of the celebrant from Han Shengxuan's hand? Lin Yan is okay, still teasing the girl in green, and Lou Huang couldn't help but look at Song Tanglu a few more times. Song Tanglu turned his head and glanced back, and said with emotion: "Our family finally went out of Beijing once, but we couldn't see the old fairy Wang with our own eyes, so I have to regret it." ”

Song Tanglu quickly laughed loudly: "Since we have left the city, then our family will return to Beijing immediately, all heroes, farewell, I hope we can meet again in the future!"

Yu groom and Lou Huang hugged their fists at the same time, and even Lin Yao nodded slightly.

The girl in green asked softly with a curious face, "Hey, Mr. Song, is there a holy decree, can I touch it?"

Mr. Song?

Song Tanglu was stunned for a moment, then smiled heartily, his eyes narrowed into a line, his expression was particularly gentle, and he didn't call himself "our family" again, "Yes, I'll take it to the girl, wait a while." ”

The holy decree was packed in a box, and Song Tanglu didn't think about taking it out at first, could it be that these people in Emperor Wu City knelt down and listened to the decree, so he simply stayed in the carriage, but since the little girl with the pink carving on the groom's shoulder wanted it, Song Tanglu just gave it to her. Qi Jiajie glanced at Yu Groom, who had always been said to be enough to inherit Wang Xianzhi's mantle, rubbed his thumb on the hilt of the white frost sword, and then smiled: "Yu Gongzi, if you have the opportunity to go to the capital, Qi will definitely do the friendship of the landlord." ”

Yu groom hummed flatly.

Qi Jiajie turned around and walked down the city.

Lin Yao kept watching the big eunuch run down to the city to get the holy decree, and he couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "I don't hate it." ”

Yu Groom nodded and said, "It's really rare." ”

The girl jumped off the neck of the groom and hurried to "receive the order". Lin Yao asked: "Senior Brother Yu, Senior Brother Gong was originally going to Tai'an City, but he changed his mind temporarily, and he has already gone to Southern Xinjiang, and I didn't listen to Master, so what about you and Senior Brother Lou, what do you say?"

Lou Huang's eyes were resolute and said, "I'm going to go to Beiliang to see if the person surnamed Xu can really fight with the master." ”

Yu Groom said with a smile: "There are people who stay to watch the house, there are people who go to the south, and there are people in the west immediately, it seems that I can only go to the north." ”

Lin Yao frowned and asked, "Tai'an City?"

Yu Groom shook his head and said, "Farther north, two Liao." ”

Lou Huang looked around and said softly, "I have to go first." ”

Lin Yao urged narrowly and said: "Hurry up, be careful of being beaten by the sixth king of Beiliang in the world." ”

Lou Huang glanced at the unsociable young man, and was about to speak, Lin Yao glared and said, "The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, shut up the old lady obediently!"

The building is barren and laughs, sweeping over the city, and swaying out of the city all the way on the eaves.

Yu groom glanced at the forest crow and said in a deep voice, "Take care." ”

Lin Yao stretched out his fingers and rubbed his brows, "I'm not very sentimental as a girl, you big men are a little out of luck?"

Yu groom smiled and shook his head, turned to leave, bent down to pick up the green-clothed girl who had re-ascended the city, she rode on her neck, spread out the holy decree, and said, "Holy decree." ”

Yu Groom smiled softly: "I know the way." ”

The little girl opened her hands and held it above her head, stared at her eyes to read, and said, "Less, where are we going next?" I actually like it here, but it's a pity that Grandpa Whitebeard Sui went to the South China Sea to find the peach blossom sword god to compete." ”

"It's a little cold when you go to a place in the north, so then you should recite the secrets that Master taught you. ”

"How northern is it? Forget it, Sister Lin always says that you are a road idiot. Less, you won't lead the wrong way, will you?"

"Probably not. ”

"Huh, less than less, what do you pronounce this word?"

"Edict. ”

"What about the word?"

"Lower it, I'll see. ”

......

At the head of the city, Lin Crow walked to the down-and-out boy who was hanging a fan from his waist, with a rare soft expression on his face, "It took Zhao Gou a lot of effort to get you out of Beiliang, and your father Yuan Benxi didn't hesitate to make an exception to send you to the East China Sea, and you have been depressed all the time?"

The young man was silent.

Lin Yao sighed and touched his head, "Silly boy, how can you get over the hurdle." ”

The young man muttered: "I can lose anyone, Gu Jiantang can lose, the ancestor of the Wu family sword mound can lose, but I can't lose to Xu Fengnian......"

Lin Ya directly interrupted him and said to himself, "Fart! Jiang Axe Ding, do you know how many times did my master lose to Li Chungang in the first place? Six years, six times! Only then did he climb from the King Kong Realm to the Heavenly Phenomena Realm!"

Jiang Axe Ding, the old master of the river crosser, smiled bitterly: "What kind of thing am I, can I be compared to Wang Xianzhi, who sits firmly on the first throne in the world?"

Lin Ya looked angry, and was about to speak, when Jiang Axe Ding said, "Don't persuade me. ”

Jiang Axe Ding turned his head and asked with a smile, "Is there any wine?"

Lin Yao snorted coldly: "Wait, get drunk to death you!"

Jiang Axe Ding suddenly grabbed Lin Crow's sleeve and didn't speak.

The tall crow reached out and pressed it on the back of his head and pulled it to his shoulder, "You men, you always want to be the best in the world." Especially you, once you feel hopeless, you love to drill the horns, in fact, why bother. Xu Fengnian, this bastard, is also really insidious, he decided that he didn't dare to fight hard, first deliberately suppressed people with power, let you give up crossing the river, and then took you as the prey of the Beiliang armor, and completely grinded off your sharpness little by little. also deliberately released water not to kill you, and let Zhao Gou rescue you. Indeed, my master met Li Chungang back then, you were too unlucky, and your old enemy was a guy with no grace. ”

Lin Ya pushed Jiang Axe Ding away, patted his shoulder, and stretched his waist, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to accompany you to drink all day long in Emperor Wu City, women can't stand such a toss, they grow old quickly! No, the old lady took advantage of the fact that she was still a little beautiful, and went to the rivers and lakes to see if she could dump a few young heroes." ”

Jiang Axe Ding looked at her back as she gradually moved away, her lips trembled, and she still didn't say those two words in the end.

This proud son of the sky, who used to be a brother and sister to the prince Zhao Kai, sat on the head of the city in a gloomy manner, looking at the tide of the East China Sea from afar, rolling from west to east.

Longmendu.

Further east is the old Western Chu border, Liyang was here to step on the ice of Guangling to cross the river, to win the lion fight the rabbit, forcing the Western Chu to defend the river and surrender without a fight. It's just that with the world Dingding, Longmendu has no longer been the grand occasion of the spring and autumn of the year, the nearby people live and work in peace and contentment, for the undercurrent surging in the west at this time, this side is still stable, still sunrise and sunset, there was a monk who lived here together, at the moment when the court destroyed the Buddha, countless monks were displaced, so the temporary settlement of these two people outside the world is not eye-catching. When the people of the village encounter a little illness and disaster, they have to ask the middle-aged Taoist in plain clothes for some home remedies, and the herbs on the prescription are easy to search, and the Taoist priest surnamed Wang never collects yellow and white things, at most accepts some grain and vegetables, and will not compete with people for small profits, probably because this Taoist priest is too kind, no one treats him as a Taoist immortal, some children like to play with him to borrow the peach wood sword, although the Taoist priest is not smiling, but the child has a pure heart, and it is more accurate to see people, and the Taoist priest will never be angry。 But the monk with the tattered robe, crazy, always like to say something to people that he doesn't understand, when he is not crazy, he looks at the Guangling River in a daze, Wang Taoist should be afraid that he is too bored to be idle, and makes a green bamboo fishing rod for the monk, the monk often sits on the riverside for a whole day, there is no harvest in the fish basket, it is empty, far less than a few fishermen around him.

Today, in the twilight, the monk found nothing, sat there without moving, and the fishermen had returned with a full load, and happened to meet the Taoist priest Wang, said hello, and then left with laughter.

The Taoist priest stood next to the monk and asked with a smile, "Awake?"

The monk nodded.

The poor Taoist is the uncle of the contemporary Wudang master Li Yuaxe, the sword idiot Wang Xiaoping. And the monk is not only the Dharma King of Landa Mountain, but also Liu Songtao, the leader of the Demon Sect of Zhulu Mountain a hundred years ago, and a useless monk who is now famous in the rivers and lakes. After the two met, they fought and acted and asked and answered, until this Longmen ferry, Liu Songtao "woke up" more and "slept" less, Wang Xiaoping's kendo attainments advanced by leaps and bounds, although he did not rank among the fifteen people in the new martial arts review, but Wang Xiaoping vaguely felt that he was only one foot away from the threshold, this threshold, the master and the senior brother and the little junior brother, the three Wudang masters had their own opinions, but they all had the same goal. At the beginning, Wang Xiaoping was an outlier among the older generation of senior brothers, he was not heavy-handed, and his temperament was relatively not so gentle. If Wang Xiaoping, who used to be the world's No. 1 sword god, was the sharpest sword, then today's middle-aged Taoist is much sharper and more restrained, and the heavy sword has no edge.

Wang Xiaoping squatted down, picked up a stone and threw it into the river. For example, when a common man is caught and said, "The poor monk knows your past life and the next life, and you can enjoy great blessings if you are reincarnated early, and you will not die", which scares people so that they can't do it, or they ask others, "My generation was born in heaven and earth, is it a neighbor of plants, trees, fish and birds, or a fellow villager?" or ask yourself: "Is what I want and what I want is destined by God, and if I don't want to think about it, and is it just as difficult to escape it?" And this monk often does the "ask the Buddha" initiative by the river, asking loudly "how to come" and "rejoicing in the Buddha, what is joy", all of which make the common people with wives and children hot kang feel incredible, but there is also a not strange Wang Dao person, so he did not report to the official.

Liu Songtao rarely shook the bamboo pole in his hand, and asked, "Are you still thinking about the matter of ice and charcoal in the same furnace?" Lu Zu can think clearly but can't explain the problem clearly, you just embarrass yourself, what is the benefit?"

Wang Xiaoping smiled and said: "Practicing on Wudang Mountain, I have insisted on doing small things for five hundred years, not being a big person, and what I do is nothing more than adding light and grass to the oil. Cultivating oneself, not seeking to ascend to immortals, going with the flow, before this, you have to travel down the mountain, and you are more busy cultivating others. Whether the world under the mountain is good or bad, it does not delay the spring and summer, and the autumn harvest and winter storage. You said that Lu Zu failed to explain the root of the fusion of the three religions, but Wudangshan has never had a rule that the ancestors did not do it well, and the descendants did not do it. Just like the Guangling River in front of you, the castration is ferocious, thanks to the opening of the road in front of the water and the walking in the back water, all of which are indispensable, otherwise there will be no eastward flow into the sea in front of you, so that the grandeur that stretches for thousands of years. ”

Liu Songtao sighed: "It's difficult. ”

Wang Xiaoping turned his head and asked, "Have you figured it out?"

Liu Songtao nodded and said: "Liu Songtao wants to find someone for himself, and the old monk of Landa Mountain wants to inherit the Buddhism of the world and stop one person." Since you know that the person you are looking for is no longer there, you don't need to look for it. ”

Wang Xiaoping smiled and asked: "I once promised the little junior brother, probably the same person you stopped, will you come first or me first?"

Liu Songtao said calmly: "You, the poor monk can still recite a few words of the scriptures for you at that time." Besides, the poor monk can't die for the time being, and if he can't stop it, he can't stop it, just get out of the way. But you Wang Xiaoping, or your Wang Xiaoping's sword, not good. ”

Wang Xiaoping said: "It's okay." When it comes to praying for blessings and disasters, I am too far behind my brothers and sisters. ”

Liu Songtao smiled: "Your sword is a good sword." A hundred years ago, poor monks would have sympathized with each other. ”

Wang Xiaoping, who had always been cold-faced and cold-hearted, suddenly smiled for no reason.

I remember that when I was on Wudang, the young man who practiced swordsmanship, when he went to the purple bamboo forest to slap the horse, the so-called swordsmanship was outstanding, and the swordsmanship was fascinating, in fact, it should be that cheap word, right? No wonder the little junior brother had been secretly having fun at that time, and he didn't dare to laugh out loud.

Xu Yanbing left the Beiliang border single-handedly and stopped at the junction of Youzhou and Hezhou.

There was also a girl who went to see the grave, and then left Beiliang Road, carrying a young sunflower that was not yet golden, and she did not walk fast, because she did not want to see Lao Huang.

She wore an inappropriate mink hat, and I don't know who gave it to her, which made her so reluctant.
