The Imperial Lingwu Academy is the highest institution of the Wind Country Lingwu Academy, and those who can enter the Imperial Lingwu Academy are either Lingwu geniuses or the children of nobles from prominent backgrounds.

In the Imperial Lingwu Academy, there are many young talents, even if Pan Mengjun's empathetic object Leng Baiyuan is not very good in the academy, he can only be said to be one of the many mediocre.

The changes in the external environment have made Pan Mengjun's horizons wider and wider, and at the same time, she also feels that the gap between herself and Shangguan Xiu is getting bigger and bigger, and the distance between the two is getting farther and farther.

It was during this period that Leng Baiyuan appeared at the right time and fell in love with Pan Mengjun at first sight.

At this time, the disheartened Shangguan Xiu raised his eyes and looked around, surrounded by people and traffic, this lively and prosperous everything seemed to suddenly become irrelevant to him, and he felt like he was standing in a lively desert.

Now, perhaps, it's time to go home by yourself, even though you're the only one left in that house. Shangguan Xiu walked forward numbly like a walking corpse.

Before you know it, it's getting dark.

Shangguan Xiu looked left and right, and then realized that he had walked to the outskirts of Shangjing.

As the capital of the Windy Country, Shangjing is too big and has a large population, and even in the suburbs, there is still a constant flow of people on the road.

In the midst of the chirping of his belly, Shangguan Xiu finally realized that he had walked almost all day, and the water and rice had not entered.

He looked ahead, and there was a tavern not far in front of him on the side of the road, which was small and shabby, and it was unlikely that there would be many luxurious taverns in the suburbs.

Shangguan Xiu took a deep breath and walked over. If it was before, he would definitely not go to a place like a tavern, his hard-earned money had to support himself, and he had to save up to buy Pan Mengjun a gift she liked, how could he have spare money for him to spend in the tavern?

But it doesn't matter now, thinking back on the past, Shangguan Xiu feels that his actions are too ridiculous and too stupid, he seems to be just living for a woman, and he is a woman who is not in his heart.

In this world, there will always be a girl who will make a boy transform into a man.

Walking into the tavern, there are many customers inside, there are men and women, old and young, looking at the clothes, most of them are small people.

Shangguan Xiu found an empty table in the corner of the tavern and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, the diligent shopkeeper walked over quickly, and the guy looked Shangguan Xiu up and down, and asked with a smile: "Little brother, are you rich?"

Shangguan Xiu was not yet eighteen years old, and his clothes were too old, so the shopkeeper was obviously worried that he would come to eat the overlord meal.

He glanced up at the man, raised his hand into his arms, took out a small cloth bag from it, slapped it on the table with a bang, and asked, "Have you seen enough?"

The man curiously opened the cloth bag, and inside was a jade bracelet. This jade bracelet is smooth and round, crystal clear, not a treasure, but it can also be seen to be valuable.

This jade bracelet was bought by Shangguan Xiu after working odd jobs in Beijing for several months to save money, and he was going to give it to Pan Mengjun as a gift, but the gift was not sent out in a hurry, and he had been knocked out by others.

Shangguan Xiu felt that his more than a year in Shangjing was a joke, and now he decided to leave, not wanting to leave anything related to Shangjing, including this jade bracelet.

The guy took the jade bracelet and looked at it for a while, nodded again and again with a smile on his face, and asked, "Guest officer, what do you want to eat and drink, just order!"

Those who have money are guest officials, and those who don't have money are little brothers.

Shangguan Xiu smiled nonchalantly and said, "If you look at how much this bracelet can be worth, you can serve me as much food as possible, and if there is any leftover, it will be considered a reward for you." ”

Unexpectedly, this young man is not very old, and his clothes are ordinary, but he can be generous and bold. The guy was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, nodded again and again, and responded: "Guest officer, wait a minute, the wine and food will come soon!"

As he spoke, he ran away with a cigarette in his hand and a jade bracelet.

Watching the guy take the jade bracelet away, Shangguan Xiu did not have the slightest sense of distress, but a sense of relief.

After a short time, the guy brought a table full of wine and food, stood aside, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Guest officer, what else do you need, just tell the little one to do it." ”

Shangguan Xiu nodded and waved at him again.

When the man walked away, he looked down at the table full of delicious food and drink, but he had no appetite at all.

His stomach was drumming dissatisfied, but he just didn't have an appetite.

An elderly man with gray hair who was sixty miles away at the table next to him looked at Shangguan Xiu and the food on his table, and couldn't help but shake his head again and again, and said, "Young people nowadays, they really don't know how to cherish it more and more......

Hearing the old man's words, Shangguan Xiu turned his head to look at him. Don't look at the old man's age, but he is full of energy, full of complexion, and his face is full of red light. In front of him was a plate of peanuts, a pot of wine, and a glass.

When Shangguan Xiu was looking at the old man, when he saw him looking at him, he nodded politely, waved his hand and said, "Old man, I can't eat so many meals alone, if you don't mind, you can move over and eat with me." ”

His politeness surprised the old man a little, and he looked at Shangguan Xiu again, as if he was considering whether to accept his invitation, and at this moment, the curtain at the door of the tavern was raised, and three big men walked in from outside.

The three of them were all dressed ordinarily, but as they entered, Shangguan Xiu could clearly feel a strong pressure sweeping in.

It's spiritual pressure! These three people are all spiritual cultivators! Shangguan Xiu frowned secretly, and couldn't help but look at each other a few more times.

Spiritual pressure is naturally emitted from the body of the spiritual cultivator, the deeper the cultivation, the stronger the spiritual pressure emitted, if the spiritual cultivator cultivates to the spiritual heaven realm, he can reach the point of returning to the basics, and people will not be aware of the existence of spiritual pressure.

Originally, the old man was still thinking about whether to go over and eat with Shangguan Xiu, but as the three big men walked into the tavern, he immediately dispelled his thoughts, sat upright on the chair, quietly picked up the wine cup, and drank the wine slowly.

The eyes of the three big men were like electricity, scanning the people in the tavern, and when their eyes fell on the old man, the eyes of the three of them lit up, and then the three of them glanced at each other, and then walked towards the old man in unison.

The three of them walked up to the old man's table step by step, and sat down on the other three sides of the table.

The guy from the tavern ran up happily and asked with a smile, "Three guest officers, what are you going to order?"

The three big men didn't look at him, and one of them whispered, "Get out!"

The guy was inexplicably scolded by him, stunned, and after a while, he came back to his senses, pointed at the scolding man, and said angrily: "You ......"

Before the man could speak, the big man slapped a black iron plaque on the table.

The guy looked down and saw that there were two big characters clearly engraved on the iron plate, Duwei.

After seeing it, the guy's face changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Duwei Mansion!"

The Duwei Mansion is a special institution directly under the leadership of the emperor, which is divided into three departments, one is the Duwei Battalion, the second is the Tianyan, and the third is the ground network. The two organizations of Tianyan and Earth Network are only under the banner of the Duwei Mansion, and in fact they are not under the jurisdiction of the Duwei Mansion and are directly responsible to the emperor. The Duwei Camp is the main body of the Duwei Mansion, which is responsible for protecting the safety of the Emperor, and most of the personal guards around the Emperor of the Wind Country are also from the Duwei Battalion.

The Duwei Mansion can be called the Praetorian Guard in the Praetorian Guard around the emperor, the cronies of the cronies, the third level of the official, no need to be responsible for any minister, only loyal to the emperor alone, and the power is very great, even if the first and auxiliary ministers, the minister of the seal and the minister of internal history who hold great power in the court of the wind country are also afraid of the Duwei camp.

The sudden sight of people from the Duwei Mansion in a tavern on the outskirts of Shangjing can be imagined as a shock to the shop staff and the diners present.

The young man turned pale with fright, and staggered back again and again.

The guests in the tavern also took out the money for wine and food, slowly put it on the table, and then stood up cautiously, for fear of making a little noise, and walked out of the tavern silently and quickly, as if they were ghosts.

The tavern that was still lively just now, just at this moment, the people had already left, and only the old man and the three big men sitting at the same table with him were left in the tavern, and Shangguan Xiu, who was sitting in the corner and watching all this.

"Duwei Mansion is really chasing after me!" the old man put down the wine cup and wiped a handful of white beard sticky with wine.

The big man who showed the token lightly tapped the card of the token with his finger, and said quietly: "Old Mr. Shen should understand, but anyone who is targeted by our heavenly eye, no one has ever been able to escape, no matter how far he escapes, we can find him out." ”

Another big man said coldly: "Shen Zhong, since we have found you, it means that you are already the turtle in our urn, and if you are interested in handing over the things, we may be able to open the net and let you live, if not, hehe......" He let out a series of strange laughs gloomily, and did not finish his words.

The old man poured out the last drop of wine in the jug, picked up the cup, tilted his head, and drank the wine in the cup.

He slowly lowered the cup, and at the same time, stood up. Seeing this, the three big men also stood up in unison, and the hands of the three of them touched their respective waists at the same time.

"You will definitely not let me go, and I will not be able to hand over things to you, but it is just a waste of words, and it seems that we can only divide the high and low in force. ”

As he spoke, he saw the old man's shoulders shake, and he pulled out a three-foot long sword from his waist, and at the same time, a thick white mist emanated from his body, and soon, the white mist condensed into a solid state above and below his body, turning into a layer of white armor.

At the same time, the old man injected the aura into the long sword in his palm, and the long sword that was integrated with the aura seemed to be given life, and its form changed accordingly, and the sword body grew by more than a foot.

The spiritual cultivator casts his own spiritual energy outside the body, and condenses the spiritual energy into a solid state around his body, which is the spiritual armoring, and the spiritual cultivator injects his own spiritual energy into a special weapon to make it a more tenacious and sharp spiritual weapon, and this process is the spiritualization of soldiers in spiritual martial arts.

Spirit armor and soldier spirit are both the most basic skills for a cultivator in a hostile battle.

If a spiritual cultivator wants to complete the spiritual armor or the spiritualization of soldiers, the cultivation realm must at least reach the spiritual breaking realm, and if the spiritual cultivator wants to complete the spiritual armor and the spiritualization of soldiers at the same time, the cultivation realm must at least reach the spiritual realm, which also explains why it is said that once the spiritual cultivator's cultivation realm is promoted to the spiritual realm, it is a qualitative leap.

Seeing that the old man had completed the spirit armor and the spirit of the soldiers, he opened his posture, and was ready to give it a go with his own side, the eyes of the three big men flashed a cold light, and the three of them pulled out the saber hidden in their waists at the same time, and at the same time, the white mist was emitted from the upper and lower parts of Zhou's body, and then, the three of them released the spirit armor and the spirit of the soldiers.

The fierce battle between the three agents of the Duwei Mansion against an old man with a mysterious background is on the verge of breaking out in the tavern.

Shangguan Xiu, who was sitting in the corner of the wall, was already dumbfounded at this time, it was the first time he had seen the scene of the duel between the Lingwu masters, and he forgot to be afraid for a while, and he also forgot to escape.
