Chapter 124: Sword Marquis Immortal
Ye Su didn't make a move, because someone stopped in front of the seventh guard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You have come from afar, sooner or later you will have a chance to fight, so why rush. "The visitor was dressed in a brocade robe, forty miles away, like a green pine standing on the street.
The person who came did not sacrifice the sword spirit, and there was no sword qi overflowing from his body, and he looked like an ordinary person.
"Commander Zhang. Wang Wenli's color changed slightly, and he gave Wang Wensheng a look.
Wang Wensheng seemed displeased, but still signaled the seventh guard to return to his team. The seventh guard's face was even darker, but he did not disobey Wang Wensheng and directly turned his horse back.
"I've seen Commander Zhang. Xiao Lengzhi bowed his hand to Commander Zhang. "It's been five years since the Western Capital was separated. The old man in this house, Zhang Tong still has the same demeanor. ”
Wang Wenli also said: "I have been in Bazhou for two days, and I have never had time to meet with Commander Zhang, please forgive me." ”
"The two gentlemen may become Zhang's bosses, so there is no need for polite words. Commander Zhang said: "It's just that since the two of you are interested in taking root in Bazhou, you should have a heart to protect this city." Zhang knows that your fellow travelers are rebellious, but they also need to be restrained. ”
Commander Zhang seemed polite, but his words were not polite at all. But Xiao Lengzhi and Wang Wenli, the two great princes, did not have the slightest displeasure. Even Wang Wensheng, who had been deliberately provoking just now, was silent with a black face.
After saying this, Commander Zhang turned around and left. There are strong people who know him, and they all bow sideways. Those who don't know ask the people around them, and they are also solemn when they learn their identities.
Ye Su stared at Commander Zhang's back, his eyes full of suspicion.
Because Ye Su found that the commander was only in the lower realm of gathering spirits, and his strength was not high. The light in the small world is dim, and even in the lower realm of the Gathering Spirits, it is considered weak. But why are so many people so jealous of it?
"Let's go. Xiao Lengzhi greeted: "The residence has been arranged." ”
Ye Su turned around and saw that Wang Wenli and his party had already left.
"Xiao Fujun. Ye Su couldn't help but ask, "That commander is very strong?"
"It's worthy of entry, and its strength is low. Xiao Lengzhi knew why Ye Su was puzzled, and said, "But, do you know his age?"
"Age?" Ye Su was even more confused.
"200 years old. Xiao Lengzhi gave the answer directly.
"Huh?" Ye Su was really taken aback.
That commander Zhang looked like he was only in his forties, and his blood was vigorous, how could he be so old? With Xiao Lengzhi's status and character, he would never make any jokes with him.
"200 years old, what should you do?" After being surprised, Ye Su quickly went back to Fang Cai's question.
There is no tradition of respecting the elders for the strong people entering the country, but whether it is the prince of the mansion or the Heishui Palace, or the arrivals who pass by by chance, they obviously have a sense of awe for Commander Zhang. Is it awe, just because of age?
"Didn't Mr. Ye always wonder before, why could a sword marquis position alarm so many strong people entering the country?" Xiao Lengzhi said: "Commander Zhang's age is the reason. ”
............
Commander Zhang's surname is Zhang, and no one knows what his name is. I only know that since more than 150 years ago, Commander Zhang has been the commander in Bazhou City, and he has been doing it until now. With him, there are a total of four commanders of Bazhou City, Zhang Wang and Li Zhao, all of whom have surnames and no names. The other three are younger, all between 100 and 150 years old.
Except for Bazhou City, the rest of the state cities are also in the same situation, and there is such a group of old demon leaders.
The commander can only be appointed by the Sword Marquis, and the royal family cannot interfere. All the commanders are in the lower realm of gathering spirits, assisting one sword marquis after another, until death.
However, among the previous sword marquis, there has never been such a person as Commander Zhang. Usually the reign of the Sword Marquis is decades, and finally he dies without a problem. It's just that no one has ever actually seen the remains of the Sword Marquis, not even their closest relatives. So, I don't know when there was a rumor.
Sword Marquis, immortal. The reason why the commanders lived so long was because the Sword Marquis gave them gifts.
Those sword marquis, after completing their mission, all went to another place to continue their cultivation and live forever. Immortality may still be controversial, but the saying of immortality is believed by almost everyone.
For most strong entrants, this temptation is hard to resist.
Even if the realm is cultivated to the condensing realm, the lifespan will not be longer than that of ordinary people. He often has the power to destroy the world, but his lifespan is the same as that of mortals. The unwillingness of the strong people to Shouyuan is far greater than the fear of death.
............
Bazhou City, post house.
Xiao Lengzhi told Ye Su about the sword marquis, and a burst of brilliance flashed in his eyes from time to time. Su Wuya seemed to be sitting with the old god there, but it was not difficult to see envy and regret in his expression.
The position of the sword marquis can only be fought for by court officials with a clean background, this is an iron law. With an identity like Su Wuya, no matter what means are used, it is impossible to get involved. At most, as it is now, it will be added in the form of a fist.
"If it's just a rumor, Xiao Fujun shouldn't be so positive. Ye Su asked, "Sword Marquis Changsheng's theory, is there any other empirical evidence?"
"Mr. Ye is smart. Xiao Lengzhi said:
"Except for the lifespan of the four great commanders who are different from ordinary people, the rumors of the immortality of the Sword Marquis have not been confirmed for a long time. So although there were people who were excited in the past, there weren't many people who really fought for it. When the Sword Marquis was vacant before, there were only a dozen people to fight. The reason why this time alarmed the world's strong people is because there was finally empirical evidence more than 40 years ago. Mr. Su should also know about that. ”
Su Wuya nodded. "Although the old man hadn't joined the Thirteen Swords Division at that time, that incident had too much impact, and he had heard of it in the Northern Regions. ”
Xiao Lengzhi continued: "More than forty years ago, there was a sword marquis three hundred years ago who re-entered the world, and in order to save his descendants and heirs, he made a big fuss in the central capital, and killed twenty-seven powerful people from the royal family. Later, he died not for killing, but for a strange turn to ashes. There are many speculations from all sides, but Jianhou Changsheng has empirical evidence on this. ”
Xiao Lengzhi and Su Wuya sang and harmonized, looking like fooling people, but Ye Su believed it.
For such a thing, the royal family will definitely block the news, but only to block the general public. It's not a secret among the powerful people who enter the country, and it's easy to confirm it. As for whether the identity of the Sword Marquis was true or false, Ye Su didn't think much about it. Others can be faked, but sword qi is not. Since he is a sword marquis, most of them have sword orders left behind. It is very simple to confirm the two phases.
"That's right. Ye Su suddenly thought of another question: "The attraction of the Sword Marquis is so great, why doesn't the royal family leave it to his own people?"
"It's not clear. Xiao Lengzhi said: "Members of the royal family are not allowed to serve as sword marquis, this is an iron law. Even a clan relative like Liu Liangchuan would not allow it. After that incident more than forty years ago, the royal family had a quarrel and wanted to take all the thrones to the royal family. His Majesty the Emperor also wanted to move, but in the end he didn't know why. ”
Xiao Lengzhi paused, looked at Ye Su and said, "I know what Mr. Ye wants to say, this matter is indeed a bit weird. But even if there is any secret, as long as the Sword Marquis Changsheng is true, any price is worth it. ”
"Immortal ......" Ye Su could understand Xiao Lengzhi's thoughts, and he couldn't help but think about it. Immortality is such a thing as a thing that anyone who hears it will find very attractive. But after thinking about it carefully, Ye Su found that he didn't seem to be so interested in this. Because Ye Su felt that if he really lived for that long, he might not know what to do.
