There is no time for practice.

This is a saying that circulates in the spiritual world.

The lifespan of a practitioner is long, and a retreat and a realization often occupy half of a mortal's life.

After Ma Xie broke through to the Shi Dan stage, he then refined the Six Treasures Qingxuantian Sword Tower, and when he completely refined the Sword Tower, it was already three years later.

At this time, the horse evil exuded a strong and skinless aura.

He saw that the sea of Shi Xinghai under his feet had already been pierced by the heavenly thunder and turned into a pile of ashes, and only some bone slag was left on the ground.

With Shi Xinghai's strength, he would not have been killed by the Heavenly Tribulation, but he relied too much on the power of the Heavenly Demon, and even did not hesitate to let his body turn into the body of the Heavenly Demon, and finally encountered the Heavenly Demon Buster Nine Heavenly Divine Thunder and turned it into ashes.

Ma Xie couldn't help but sigh, cultivation is not easy, and if you are a little careless, you will end up like this.

"You were also the king of men, why should you be contaminated with the power of heavenly demons." Ma Xie waved his hand, and a handful of loess covered Shi Xinghai's body.

After that, Ma Xie hurriedly left this place and flew to Stone City.

At this time, the stone city has been very different.

Three years ago, due to the needs of military operations, the stone city was expanded several times in situ, and it was built like a military fortress.

However, today's Stone City has long since abolished those military facilities, and has replaced them with various civilian buildings, and large caravans come and go.

"Here, change is really fast."

In just three years, Shicheng has changed from a small city in a remote area to the core of northern trade between the Qin and Jin dynasties.

Ma Xie came to the City Lord's Mansion, which was still the same, and he couldn't wait to walk into the City Lord's Mansion, but he didn't see a familiar face.

"Monk Shicheng, the winged horse evil of Shicheng pays a visit to the Lord of Shicheng."

"There is no Stone City Lord here." The guard coldly told Ma Xie: "We are not called Stone City here. ”

"Not Stone City? Then here is ......"

"This is Evil Horse City, and our city lord is the Divine Chef Qi Nanfeng." From behind Ma Xie, a voice came.

"South wind?" Ma Xie was surprised to find that behind him was Qi Nanfeng.

"I know you'll be back." Qi Nanfeng looked at Ma Xie, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist: "I've said it many times, you will definitely come back." ”

"yes, I'm back again......"

Ma Xie didn't know that this was the first time he had said the phrase "I'm back" to the south wind.

For so many years, they have been gathering less and leaving more, and a trace of guilt has risen in Ma Xie's heart.

After being taken away by Shi Xinghai, the war between Qin and Jin also ended.

There is Shi Feng, a strong man of the second Jindan, who is in charge, although the local qi of the Jin Kingdom has disappeared, there is no strong enemy to come to Fan for the time being.

Perhaps it was because of the baptism of this war that the Jin Kingdom was reborn from top to bottom and became vibrant.

Because of Shi Dangdang's words, the people of the Jin Kingdom finally abandoned their traditional concepts.

The king of Jin abandoned his people, and his people no longer needed the king of Jin.

At this time, there was no king of Jin in the Jin Kingdom.

The Jin Kingdom is finally not the Jin Kingdom of the Shi family.

Of course, all these changes have just begun, and the people of the Jin Kingdom who have lost their past do not know where to go.

But they have a common belief in their hearts, this is their own country, as long as everyone in the Jin Kingdom does not give up the Jin State, then the Jin State will not perish.

After this battle, Shi Kangdang finally got the understanding of the Jin people.

He would have had a chance to become the new king of the Jin Kingdom, but Shi Dangdang did not do so.

He just chose to become the prime minister of the Jin State and preside over the daily affairs of the Jin State.

As for how the Jin Kingdom will develop in the future, whether it will need a new Jin king, or whether it will be ruled by several large families, or whether it will establish a "council" system like the Qi State, there is no conclusion.

All of this is still under heated debate.

The youngest and most popular of these were a group of young scholars led by Qi Nanfeng's younger brother Aman.

Among them, there are mortals and cultivators, and what they all have in common is that they all have a great passion for building a powerful Jin state. ……

Ma Xie didn't care much about these things, but when he heard that Aman, who was hiding behind Nanfeng back then, has now become an excellent talent, he was also very happy in his heart.

Shi Kangdang came to Yicheng, and Shicheng changed its name to "Evil Horse City" in order to commemorate the horse evil.

Qi Nanfeng is the first city lord of Evil Horse City.

The two entered the city lord's mansion, and soon, the news of Ma Xie's return spread throughout the Jin Kingdom.

This legendary young cultivator had become the idol of the young people of the Jin Kingdom at this time.

However, Ma Xie never felt that he had saved the Jin Kingdom.

The people that the Jin Kingdom really wants to thank are still the people of the Shi family, Shi Dangdang and Shi Feng.

If it weren't for Shi Dangdang to convey the earth qi to himself, he would not be able to block Shi Xinghai's attack.

More importantly, it was Shi Feng who blocked the attack of the three Jindan stage cultivators of the Qin State and allowed the Prince of Qin to return with his infant, which was the fundamental reason for the victory of this war.

He himself was just icing on the cake, dragging Shi Xinghai back, and did not let all the earth qi feed back into the earth, causing a major earthquake.

It's just that people are more willing to associate the savior with Ma Xie, a young genius, not to mention that he is not from the Shi family.

"Horse evil, horse evil!" Yuan Wuji quickly ran in: "Look at it, who's coming?!" ”

Behind Yuan Wuji was a tall man.

When the man saw Ma Xie, he walked in three steps and two steps, and hugged Ma Xie.

"Jin Mu Shui!"

Ma Xie also naturally recognized the person, it was Jin Mushui who had traveled with him in the secret realm of Stone City back then.

At this time, Jin Mushui was already a cultivator of the Water and Fire Pass, and his figure was a little taller than before.

For so many years, he has also been practicing hard, and even went to participate in the selection of the ultimate dragon slayer, but his talent is not like Ma Xie, and he was eliminated very early.

Now Jin Mushui has also married a wife and had children, and the car has been changed to the chief of the guard in Quliang City.

All the people of the Heavenly Martial Sect also rushed to Evil Horse City.

In the past few years, under the leadership of Wan Feifei and Zuo Lingfei, they have been fighting against Tianwu Pavilion.

With the help of Liu Zongxuan and Zhuge Ruzhi, the new Tianwu Sect has gradually gained a climate.

Not only were they not crushed by the Xuanyang Gate, but they grew up vigorously under the suppression of the Xuanyang Gate.

The earth qi of the Jin Kingdom has all disappeared, and there will no longer be the earth qi rushing, and the Great Dao will fly out of such an opportunity, and those cultivators who want to come to the north of the Jin Kingdom to get a piece of the pie have also left the northern part of the Jin Kingdom with the cessation of the war.

Without so many disciples, the northern part of the Jin Kingdom, which was already a small population, could not support such a large sect as Tianwu Pavilion, and the power of Tianwu Pavilion gradually declined.

Because of Shi Feng's sudden appearance, Xuanyangmen also converged a lot.

Their young sect master Ling Hu Xiaobai died, and Wu Pingtian, one of the Ten Tigers, also died, and only the Heaven and Earth Twin Tigers barely supported the façade of the younger generation of Xuanyangmen.

It's just that under the double suppression of Yuan Wuji and Liu Zongxuan, the Heaven and Earth Twin Tigers can't take any advantage in the north at all.

Tianwu Pavilion also gradually lost the support of Xuanyang Gate, after all, within Xuanyang Gate, there were still many opposing voices, and a lot of energy was put into the barren north.

The Five Immortal Sect in the south, with the support of the Chu State, is flourishing day by day, and there are already four cultivators of the Shi Dan period, and the Spirit Fire Castle, Huo Feilong and Huo Yan Fei, the two strong men of the Dan stage, are enough to make them an important force.

A month later, Shi Kangdang came to Evil Horse City.

He took the doormen of the year, and now He Wen'an and Aman, who are now important members of the court, back to his hometown.

"Stone City Lord!"

Ma Xie stepped forward excitedly.

"Ma Xie, he is already the prime minister of the dynasty, how can he still be called the city lord?" Qi Nanfeng said with a smile.

Ma Xie said: "My fault, my fault, but in my heart, the city lord will always be the city lord and my city lord." ”

Shi Dangdang also laughed and said: "Yes, I will always be your city lord, and you will always be my proudest stone city wing!" ”

Everyone embraced each other and came to the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Shi Dangdang said: "Ma Xie, I came this time mainly because of an extremely important matter, and you must not shirk it." ”

"Lord, please! Ma evil is duty-bound! Ma Xie said respectfully.

"I'm here to talk about a match." Shi Dangdang laughed.

When Qi Nanfeng heard this, he immediately blushed, and Ma Xie instantly understood what Shi Dangdang meant.

"Stone City Lord ......"

"Ma Xie, you are a good man, and it is time to start a family, the South Wind girl has been waiting for you for so many years, you can't bear her anymore!" Shi Dangdang said.

Ma Xie hugged his fists: "Stone City Lord, I will live up to the south wind in this life!" ”

At this time, Qi Nanfeng's eyes were already moist, and he stood silently behind Ma Xie and grabbed his arm.

The wedding of the two, everything was carried out under Shi Dangdang's operation, and during this time, Ma Xie did not practice, but accompanied Qi Nanfeng wholeheartedly.

Ma Xie and Qi Nanfeng have been staying in Shicheng, and when the wedding is over, they will travel around the mainland.

The wedding was set for the twenty-first day of the lunar month, which was the place where Ma Xie and Qi Nanfeng first met.

The two of them, in the purple bamboo forest, built a clean courtyard, lived there, and accompanied Mu Xunfeng's mausoleum day and night.

This kind of life is very dull, but Ma Xie is not boring at all, he felt in a trance that it was not bad to live with Qi Nanfeng all the time.

There is just one thing that has always been lingering in his heart, and that is about Ji Yan.

He had been thinking about what conspiracy was brewing in Ji Yan.

His disciples, even Li Que and Zhang Yi, who were the number of earth demons, all had the strength of the Shi Dan period, and there were a total of one hundred and eight such people.

And he also has the ability to make dragon jade on his own, such a force, but it is not obvious, and not many people know about it.

Obviously, Ji Yan will not gather so much power and do a good deed of inviting guests to dinner, he must have some plans.

It can be seen from Shi Xinghai that Ji Yan's strength is enough to control a big country, but he didn't do it, obviously his goal is bigger than controlling a big country.

"Ma Xie, what are you thinking?" Qi Nanfeng saw that Ma Xie was stunned.

"Oh, I didn't think about anything, I just didn't worry about Ji Yan." Ma Xie said.

Qi Nanfeng said: "I think you will find him one day and face him head-on, before that, why not accompany me more?" ”
