Chapter 16: Drinking is a play in the middle of a game, and the past is like a mystery in a smoke

In the pavilion in the heart of the lake in the Jincheng Imperial Garden, there are already empty wine jars. It's hard to imagine that this is a glorious feat of two people. Among them, Lin Man'er has a deep foundation of drinking in the Eight Immortal Caves for many years, and he is also drunk in more than a dozen jars. On the contrary, Jin Sanfat is basically delirious.

During this period, Jin Sanpang kept confiding in Lin Man'er about his sad journey after returning to China. Sometimes he wonders, what's the point of going back to China? Is it for the joy of power?

Obviously, since he returned to China, there has not been a day of happiness, even if he married Arya, who is eight or nine points similar to the top ten beauties of the ancestral star; Even if he has his first son; Even if it's the reunion of old friends today......

In contrast, Lin Man'er does not have too much nostalgia for the past and too many regrets. He cares more about the future, a noisy wife, a daughter he hasn't met yet, and a bet with another self......

Outside the Lake Center Pavilion, Alan and his sister Arya looked at the drunk two, each showing a long-lost smile. Among them, Arya pointed to Lin Man'er, who was "howling ghosts", and said with curiosity: "Sister, is he really that powerful?" ”

"Of course there is, yesterday the rebels broke the city, and in the moment of life and death, he single-handedly quelled the rebellion."

"But I heard that the number of rebels is tens of thousands, even if it is the crown of the Pope, I am afraid that there is nothing I can do, right?"

Alan puffed his chin, his eyes were full of admiration, and said: "Our Pope's crown is actually equivalent to an eight-rank soul immortal, but his cultivation is enough to match the god king." ”

(PS: Among the Xiluo families, the God King belongs to the highest combat power, which is equivalent to the iQue Heavenly Realm or the Nine Rank Pure Spear Immortal Great Perfection.) In addition, in the final battle, Zhong Shengtian, the general of the Qinglong Guard, was infinitely close to the Great Perfection of the Nine Rank Pure Spear Immortals, but he had not yet reached it.

It can be said that one who truly achieves the Great Perfection of the Nine Rank Pure Battle Cultivation must not only have outstanding talent, but also have enough true qi purity and accumulation. Only in this way can he have the strength to fight with the soul cultivators of the iQue Heavenly Realm.

In other words, in the event of an engagement, it can form a near-perfect defensive barrier with a sufficiently pure True Qi to avoid being destroyed by the iQue Heavenly Realm with a single blow. At the same time, it is also possible to keep up with the opponent's speed to a certain extent, avoiding being infinitely suppressed and thus unable to fight back.

By the way, for Fa cultivation, except for the Fa System Heavenly Question, no matter how much you practice, it is impossible to defeat the soul cultivator of the Fugue Heavenly Realm when you are in the Great Luo Jin Immortal Realm. Even, the vast majority of legal systems can't do it. Throughout the history of the human race, only Wuji Tianzun has done this.

However, there are relatively more pure combat cultivation, formation cultivation, and physical cultivation. Even, Fu Xiu and Dan Xiu each have three cases. Of course, if you are more serious, the six victories were all reluctantly won by using their own characteristics and instantly improving their own cultivation.

As for formation cultivation, it is to use all means to restrain soul cultivation and consume it alive. Therefore, in a sense, formation cultivation is the most terrifying. No matter how strong the opponent is, as long as his weaknesses are infinitely magnified, he will have a chance to win.

As for the winning physical cultivation, it is not simply the soul refining realm or anything else. Rather, it can be immune, weakened, and other special constitutions that limit the exertion of soul cultivation. To put it bluntly, it is the one who asks the heavens. )

Having said that, Arya looked at her sister's demeanor and couldn't help but shake her head and said, "It seems that my sister's original 'giving way' was not simple!" ”

"Don't think too much, sister, I have to dedicate my life to the family."

"Really? Then I believe it. Alya held her slightly bulging belly and left with a smile.

In the Huxin Pavilion, Lin Man'er shook his dull head, and said with a confused look: "The wine has also been drunk, and the matter has been done, you should take it out now, right?" ”

Jin Sanpang replied in a daze, and slapped a jade plaque on the table. Lin Man'er swept his senses and found that this was not a storage jade plate, but a shadow jade. The most infuriating thing is that the image inside turned out to be a clip of his massacre outside Dragon City.

"You fat man, do you need to look at the?"

It's a pity that Jin Sanfat has completely laid. Lin Man'er smiled and began to look for a gift by herself. However, after seeing this scene, the corners of Alan's mouth twitched when he saw this scene, and he hurriedly spoke.

"What are you doing? Still not stopping? ”

Lin Man'er glanced back, hooked his hand and said, "You come here, find it for me." ”

Alan flew over and was immediately dissuaded by the strong smell of alcohol. At that moment, half-covering his nose, he asked, "What are you looking for?" ”

"Gifts, gifts."

Alan said a little helplessly: "Before you came, he was basically an empty shell, what gift can he give to you?" ”

"Sword!"

Alan frowned, and said quite displeased: "You're drunk, hurry up and rest!" ”

"I'm not drunk, this is where it goes! You immediately look for me, find a sword. ”

"Don't you already have a magic sword? And why should you covet his sword? ”

"It's different, I have to make it up, or else... I won't live more than 3,000 years! With that, he closed his eyes and lay down.

Seeing this scene, Alan muttered with a sluggish expression: "Three thousand years, what three thousand years?" What's going on here? ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Jin Sanfat, who was drunk and sleepy, or Ximen Shangyuan, suddenly opened his eyes, got up and looked at Lin Man'er next to him, and complained: "You dead bald, you are too good to drink." ”

Alan was full of surprise and said, "You're not drunk? ”

"Joke, I still have a lot of things to deal with, how can I get drunk and make mistakes?"

"Then why are you pretending to be drunk?"

"How can you get rid of this bald man without pretending to be drunk?" Ximen Shangyuan retorted.

"You... What exactly is to be done? Alan suddenly had an extremely bad premonition in his heart.

Ximen Shang glanced at him, and said angrily: "He is my brother who has died, how can I harm him?" It's just that... I can't cash in on the gift just yet. ”

"Meteor Butterfly Sword?"

"No, he wants the Zodiac Twenty-Four Sword."

"Xuankong Sword Shrine? Isn't that a game set up by the Ghost Sword Immortal? Alan said with a puzzled look.

"You are wrong, the condition for the opening of the Xuankong Sword Shrine is the Zodiac Twenty-Four Swords. As for whether there are huge resources in the sword mound, there is no way to know. ”

As soon as these words came out, Allen said with sharp eyes: "In this way, you have no other intention to marry our Hanno family?" ”

"Nonsense, a beauty like Arya has an attempt for a man."

"You know that's not what I'm talking about."

"Oh, which one is that? Sister Alan, please also make it explicit. ”

"The Lidong Sword is long gone, and your abacus is about to be empty."

However, Ximen Shangyuan was not surprised at all, but said confidently: "Lidong Jian has already been buried in the Pope's Palace with the ten beauties, I know about this." ”

"She told you?"

"She is the wife I am marrying, and she is also the mother of my son, and the queen of Ciro will naturally not hide anything from me. It's like you, and you're still like a thief, I really don't know what you think. ”

"Hmph, what do I think? We must not ask the ancestors of your Simon clan how they treat us. ”

"Alright, don't hold on to the past. If it weren't for the fact that you were in disobedience to the yin and led the servants of my Cilo, and secretly allegiance to the papal palace, how could my ancestors have cast a curse? What's more, I also know the real crisis of your Hanno family, so let's support each other and tide over the difficulties together! ”

"What exactly do you want to do?" Alan said solemnly.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in what you're doing. Even the future direction of the three states of Xiluo has nothing to do with me. As long as I'm done with my own business, when the time comes, you can do whatever you want, and no one will stop you. ”

"Are you really willing to do it?"

"What's so reluctant about this? Isn't he just a king of a dead country, and a ghost is willing to work day and night! What's more, your sister is real-run! ”

"Cheap!" Alan scolded casually and left with a flicked face.

However, not long after he left, Jin Sanpang kicked Lin Man'er and scolded: "Pretend to be your uncle, Lao Tzu knows that you are not drunk." ”

Lin Man'er got up with an embarrassed face and asked, "How did you see that I acted so realistically?" ”

"As soon as you pout your ass, I know what you're farting."

After hearing this, Lin Man'er's face changed, and he pretended to say, "Then we have to talk about your deception to me." ”

Jin Sanpang immediately laughed and said, "Brother, don't get excited, listen to me explain to you." ”

"Your explanation had better satisfy me, or I'll strip you naked on the city wall."

Jin Sanpang sighed heavily and told the truth about the predicament he encountered. Among them, of course, it also includes his wife Alia and the fact that he just deceived Allen.

Obviously, although Arya is married to Simon Shangyuan, her heart is still on the side of the Hanno family. Therefore, the so-called confession is false, and the purpose is to verify his conjecture with Allen.

Of course, in order to ensure the authenticity of the conjecture, he also had to verify it from the four heads of the Zhou, Han, Zhu, and Qi families. For example, how did the Papal Palace make the Giggs family, the Robles family, the Hanno family, the Ball family, the Capet family, the Don Ke family, the Lake family, etc.

Another example is why the Hanno family suddenly turned against the Papal Palace. Why did Arya make a big fuss about the Pope's Palace back then, and so on.

However, after hearing this, Lin Man'er said with disdain: "Don't you think your brain has rusted? ”

"What do you mean?"

Lin Man'er pointed to himself and said, "I am a soul cultivator, and there is no secret that I can't get here." ”

"You want to use Soul Searching on Allen?"

"The pattern is low, and I don't need the method of soul searching for a long time."

"And what do you use?"

"Regent-Soul-Magic!"

"The Demon Emperor's means? It seems that Lao Tzu really didn't guess wrong, you are not an ordinary Lin clansman. ”

Lin Man'er didn't want to hide anything, and said bluntly: "As for those living Lin clan people now, in terms of generation, I am their ancestor. ”

"And how the hell did you get in?"

"Naturally, my mother sent me in."

"Then how did your mother get out?" Jin Sanpang said with anticipation.

"Uh...... According to my analysis, it seems that I broke out. ”

"Breaking through the gates?"

"It should be."

"Good guys, your family is really temperamental."

"It's not important, it's important that I find a way to get out. Otherwise......"

"Or you're going to die, aren't you?"

"Yes!" Lin Man'er affirmed very dryly.

Jin Sanpang sighed, and said with a solemn face: "Actually, I also found a lot of news about the Twenty-Four Swords of the Zodiac here. ”

"Wait, you just say Qingming, Xiaoman, Liqiu, Bailu, Frostfall, and the Six Swords of the Winter Solstice, and the rest of me has already mastered the news."

Jin Sanpang sorted out his thoughts for a moment and replied: "It's definitely true that Xiao Manjian is in Xiluo, but I don't know who it is. As for Bai Lu Jian, his previous master's name was Zhixian, and he died in the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows. Similar to it is the Winter Solstice Sword, whose owner's name is Zheng Rong, who died in the ancient country of Loulan. ”

"Oh, go ahead!"

"It's gone."

"You've only talked about three, and what about the other three?"

Jin Sanpang said helplessly: "Big brother, although I have been the monarch for a few days, I have never even been to the real country." What's more, the original capital has long been destroyed, and the records in it have been burned! ”

"There's really no news at all?"

"It's not nothing, but it's impossible to confirm whether it's true or not."

"Then tell it, whether it's true or not."

"That's what you said, don't blame me if something goes wrong."

"I don't blame you, hurry up."

After thinking about it for a while, Jin Sanpang removed a few very outrageous news from his mind and told it relatively reliable. For example, there are three different versions of the Qingming Sword. First, he was used as a burial object by a certain sword cultivator; second, it was ruined in a war; Third, in the hands of the demons.

There are also three versions of the Frostfall Sword: first, ruined; second, buried in the far north; Third, in the hands of soldiers and demons.

As for the Liqiu Sword, there is no reliable news at all. However, the description of Liqiu Sword is still a little bit reliable. For example, the Liqiu sword has a unique shape and has some similarities with the dust whisk in the hands of Taoist priests. It is rumored that the Liqiu Sword is also the favorite sword of the Xuankong Dao people.

After Lin Man'er heard this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Alas, it seems that this soldier demon must meet for a while." ”

However, Jin Sanpang dissuaded him very harshly: "Absolutely not, at least not now." ”

"Why?"

"Because the Soldier Demon is really, really, really powerful."

"I know he's powerful, but I'm not weak."

Jin Sanpang shook his head again and again and said, "No, no, no, you don't know how powerful he is." ”

"You say that, could it be that you have seen a soldier demon?"

"If I had seen him, I would have been scared to death. And there are other people who have actually seen him and fought with him. ”

Lin Man'er thought for a moment and guessed, "Could it be a ghost sword immortal?" ”

"That's right, it's my Siro's ghost sword immortal. You should have heard of his strength, but even so, he was still beaten by the soldiers and demons to doubt his life. ”

"Is that an exaggeration? He's a nine-rank if he dies, right? ”

"Brother, to tell you the truth, the Soldier Demon is not an ordinary Nine Rank. According to my second brother, the soldiers and demons are proficient in eighteen kinds of weapons, and each of them is top-notch. ”

"Nonsense, as long as the real trachea is enough, the use of branches is top-notch. Isn't it possible that you are more than tricks when you fight? ”

"Not necessarily, he ...... the eighteen weapons of the soldier demon"

As soon as he said that, he was interrupted by Lin Man'er, who said impatiently: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, so I'll verify your news now." If I can't do it, I'll come myself. When the time comes, I can't guarantee that their primordial spirit is complete. ”

Jin Sanpang had no choice but to send someone to summon the four heads of the Zhou, Han, Zhu, and Qi families. In this regard, the four heads of the family were panicked, and even arranged the aftermath before leaving.

However, when they learned of Ximen Shangyuan's intention to summon them, their hanging hearts finally landed. But when they heard that Lin Man'er might ask in person, the whole person was instantly stunned.

Perhaps, it was precisely because of the fear in their hearts that the four of them rushed to tell what they knew, for fear of being questioned by Lin Man'er himself. As a result, there was really a lot of gain.

For example, Xiao Manjian was in the hands of the Chu family before. Later, the Zhou family destroyed Chu, and Xiaomanjian disappeared with it. However, according to Zhou Ren's years of investigation, it can be known that there should be another survivor of the Chu family. Perhaps, Xiao Manjian was taken away by her.

After hearing this, Ximen Shangyuan was quite surprised and said, "That survivor shouldn't be Chu Siyuan, right?" ”

Zhou Ren said with a panicked face: "It's not her." ”

As soon as Ximen Shangyuan breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Zhou Ren say with great difficulty: "It's her mother." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ximen Shangyuan was instantly stunned. After a long time, I squeezed out four words: well done!

Zhou Ren was extremely frustrated and said, "If it weren't for the scruples about the Spirit Snake Sect, she wouldn't be able to live." ”

"Well, I don't know what to say about you. That's it, does Chu Siyuan know about this? ”

"I shouldn't know, otherwise with her current status, she shouldn't give up."

Ximen Shangyuan held his forehead and waved his hand to signal the four of them to retreat. After the four of them left, Lin Man'er appeared in the main hall.

"Hasn't the news been confirmed, what are you still having a headache?"

"I'm having a headache, can I exchange a Zhou Ren for a Xiaoman sword."

"It's not just the Xiaoman Sword, but also the Summer Solstice Sword!"

"Well, let me think again, and see if there is any other way."

"It is an eternal truth that murder pays for life, and debts are repaid. What's more, the Zhou family killed the lord first, even if Chu Siyuan wanted to retaliate, it should be. ”

"If only it were that simple. Do you know how much chaos it will cause if you hand over Zhou Ren now? What's more, their Chu family is not a good thing. If you really want to count it, they are all rebels and thieves. ”

Lin Man'er also sighed and asked, "Then how long will it take you?" ”

"At least more than a thousand years!"

"It's okay, it's a big deal, I'll go and get the three swords of Qingming, Frostfall, and Lidong first."

"What they say is not necessarily reliable, especially the Papal Palace."

"I'm afraid of a bird, if there is really a god king, I should die in the last battle."

"And what if he becomes a turtle with a shrunken head and doesn't go to war?"

Lin Man'er sneered: "If that's the case, do you think I'll be afraid of a turtle with a shrunken head?" ”

Jin Sanpang wanted to say something, but found that Lin Man'er had already left.

——————————

The Pope's Palace is located at the junction of Chang and Qiu, and belongs to the westernmost part of the Shenzhou Continent. Originally, when Ximensu had not yet established Xiluo, Changzhou, Qiuzhou, and Sizhou were basically under the joint jurisdiction of the Pope's Palace and Buddhism.

Later, Simon established Ciro by absolute force. During this period, the Pope's Palace chose to forbear, but secretly still controlled many families such as Hanno and Tang Ke. Buddhism, by contrast, has a very good temper, and it has to be a tough confrontation with Simon.

As a result, Simon Su did not stop and directly ordered the expulsion of Buddhists in the country. If you encounter resistance or lurking, you will be killed on the spot and do not need to report it. As a result, Buddhism, which was once in its glory, was basically silent.

Later, some Buddhists fled to the four countries of Beiming, Nanling, Zhongyuan, and Donghao, and silently developed their power. It's a pity that these four countries are deeply influenced by Taoism and can't develop for a while. This is also the reason why Buddhism is rarely mentioned in this book (mainly because I don't know much about it, and I don't like it very much).

The Pope's Hall is actually very similar to the Soul Sect, the main difference is that the Pope's Hall knows how to preach, while the Soul Sect is more inclined to the truth. To put it bluntly, the Pope's Palace develops by flickering, and the Soul Sect develops by force.

In the Papal Palace, the status of the Pope is undoubtedly the most honorable. However, the actual combat power of the pope is often not the highest. As mentioned before, the God-King is the strongest combat power in the Pope's Palace.

In contrast, the Soul Sect's Sect Master not only had the most honorable status, but also had the strongest combat power. However, the Soul Sect Sect Master did not have the Pope's absolute right to speak.

In other words, the internal affairs of the Soul Sect still had to be discussed with the elders. The pope can consult with the families and make a decision. To put it bluntly, small things go through the process to spread the benevolence of the pope; Decide on matters of oneself in order to demonstrate the authority of the Pope.

Of course, since the Lin Clan took power, the Soul Sect has basically shown a tendency to make a decision. Otherwise, it will not make the world mistakenly think that the Soul Sect has always been the head of the Lin family.

There's no way, who let the Lin clan except for one Soul Emperor! Taking a step back, if someone else is in charge, many things are not easy to handle, especially when it comes to the Lin clan. After all, the Lin clan is well-known for protecting calves.

Taking Lin Mingyuan's matter as an example, if it were someone else, it would have been dealt with according to the sect long ago. However, the Lin clan patriarch only put him under house arrest.

Of course, if there is a conflict between the Soul Sect and outsiders, then the Lin clan basically beats the outsiders first, and then discusses the question of right and wrong. If you take advantage of it, you will not only have to pay compensation, but you will also have to beat it again. If the other party is reasonable, the amount is ...... The other party didn't take advantage of it.

Because of this, the Soul Sect is also used to letting the Lin family be in charge. At the very least, don't be bullied by outsiders. Moreover, the Lin family rarely has that kind of nest.

Having said that, when Lin Man'er arrived at the Pope's Palace, his first feeling was that the Pope was definitely an old pervert who was addicted to pleasure and pomp, and his body was very good.

After all, in Lin Man'er's impression, even Donghao's monarch was not to the level of three steps and one guard. Moreover, there are many blonde and blue-eyed little beauties outside the main hall, like concubines waiting for the flop.

Of course, this was just Lin Man'er's first feeling.

Let's talk about the architectural style of the Pope's Palace, which is basically paved with jade and decorated with jewels. It can be summed up in two words - OK!

The reason for this evaluation is naturally that Lin Man'er compared it with the headquarters of Shangzhou Tianbao Pavilion. Therefore, it is already a very high evaluation. After all, in terms of pomp, Tianbao Pavilion thinks that it is second, and there is really no one who dares to admit the first.

Even the Phantom Music Workshop, which gathers dancers from all over the world, and the Drunken Immortal Residence, which gathers the world's best wine on the first floor, have to lean back.

However, the most luxurious place in the ancestral star was actually not the headquarters of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. In other words, Tianbao Pavilion is also ranked second. It's just that whoever enters that place basically doesn't come out alive.

To get back to the point, in order to find out the situation inside, Lin Man'er unknowingly hid on a blonde beauty, with blue eyes, long legs, big breasts, hips, and a small waist.

Interestingly, the Pope's crown seemed to be very close to his vision, and even if he was very late, he was chosen. Strangely, this beauty seems to be very reluctant to serve His Holiness the Pope, and is reluctant to enter.

Lin Man'er was worried that she would be discovered, so she had to say sorry, and then forcibly controlled the beauty to enter the palace.
