Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Wicked Guest
On the twentieth day of the lunar month, the palace was already busy, the red lanterns of the New Year were hung between the gatehouse and the corridor, the maids and servants changed into new clothes, and even the footsteps seemed to be a little brisker between walking.
Everything is calm, and the only thing that can be called a big event is that the new issue of the Tianji List has finally reached the northwest.
At the beginning of the lunar month, that is, when the White Lotus Sect was defeated in Huzhou, Fu Chen, as the leader of the White Lotus Sect, actually had the leisure to release a new issue of the Tianji list, in this issue of the Tianji list, the main list has not changed much, the top of the list is the Taoist Sect Master Zichen who is about to soar, the list is one person and one sword alone in the world of the great sword immortal Shangguan Xianchen, Tanhua is the abbot Muguan who presides over the Buddhism, followed by the head of the elders of the Demon Sect and the great elder Diao Yin who acts as the head of the sect, the second master of the Taoist Sect, the master of Tianshu Peak, Qingchen Dazhenren, who was born in the Murong clan but became the general of the Later Jianγ After that, there were some changes, after the major free immortals entered the world one after another, Xiao Lie no longer concealed his cultivation, and officially set foot in the realm of free and easy, from the original tenth to the seventh, Mr. Hengqu Zhang Zai ranked eighth, the eight eyes of the King Kong Temple ranked ninth, and the current head of the Taoist sect, Tianchen, ranked tenth.
The Taoist Sect is still three people on the list, occupying the first, fifth and tenth respectively, I don't know if it is a coincidence, it happens to be the first, middle and last three positions among the ten people, and it is even more obvious that the Taoist Sect, whether it is a disciple or a master, is enough to crush any sect, and the person who holds the bull's ear in the cultivation world is well deserved.
It is also worth mentioning that because Xiao Lie stepped into the realm of leisure, Xiao Yu, who was originally ranked second in the sub-list, rose one place and became the first person in the world, an invincible opponent in the realm of heaven and man in the true sense.
Compared with the main list of the celestial list, the second list has changed a lot, often it has died in the hands of others soon after being on the list, and now there are no old people's names on the second list, and the young generation led by Xiao Lie, the king of the northwest, is rising rapidly.
Besides, the first person on the two lists before and after, Xiao Yu's comment is invincible in the realm of heaven and man, and Xiao Lie's comment is more domineering can fight and kill the immortals in the posture of heaven and man, which can be said to be rare in a hundred years, and Xiao Lie and Xiao Yu have father and son sat in the first position on the last list, and it will inevitably become a good thing in the eyes of others.
At that time, it was wartime, Xiao Yu did not pay attention to the news in this regard, and after returning to the northwest, due to the remoteness of the northwest, it would take many days for the Tianji List to be transmitted, so Xiao Yu only knew about it today.
However, he didn't pay too much attention to it, because of some reasons that were not easy to put into account, Lin Yinping had already gone on strike, and the big and small matters in the palace fell on Xiao Yu's head, and it happened to be close to the end of the year.
The Northwest Palace, which was rebuilt from the Proprietor's Palace, was built in accordance with the imperial ritual system, like a miniature version of the Imperial Palace. There are three halls in the central axis of the palace, the first hall is the largest, it is where the court meeting is, but because there is no emperor to come to the central capital since the proprietor, it has been abandoned for a long time, and it is gradually dilapidated, and its inner beams and pillars are seriously rotten, the color fades, and because the repair project is huge, Lin Yinping, who presided over the repair of the palace, simply closed it. The second hall is the smallest, it has been repaired, and now it is where Xiao Yu routinely deliberates and gives banquets, and the third hall is smaller than the first hall but larger than the second hall, and it is now being repaired.
This three halls are the outer house, followed by the inner house, the inner house is centered on the Ming Garden and the four pavilions of Xiaoxiang Mountain where Xiao Yu and Lin Yinping live, the two wings are Wen Ti Zhai, Yang Shen Zhai, Shou Xin Zhai, Plum Garden, Jade Garden, Moon Garden, Ding Garden, Sheng Garden, Hua Yuan, Qingbai Courtyard, there is Jiang Zhu Yuan later, of which three Lent is used as a study by Xiao Yu, Murong lives in the Plum Garden, Xiao Jin lives in the Jade Garden, Xiao Yue lives in the Moon Garden, and female officials such as Moshu live in the Hua Garden.
Between the inner house and the outer house, there is a lake that is artificially dug by the name, called the clear lake, when it is built, the monk uses the miraculous means to lead the living water into the house, so this lake is blue but not turbid, there are thousands of swimming fish in it, there is a beautiful covered bridge on it, as the necessary passage to connect the outer house and the inner house.
Xiao Yu walked out of the Ming Garden with an old man and asked, "How is the princess's health?"
This old man is not an outsider, it is Sun Liao, the chief medical officer of the Northwest Army who returned to the northwest with Wei Ban, he replied respectfully: "Back to the prince, the princess's pulse is stable, and her body is fine for the time being, but the princess has a weak foundation and needs to be well regulated, and at the same time, she must avoid great joy and sorrow, anger, worry, and depression, so as not to affect the fetus in the womb." β
Xiao Yu sighed lightly, nodded speechlessly, and then waved his hand, signaling that Sun Liao could retreat.
After Sun Liao left, Xiao Yu planned to go back to Shouxinzhai to take a nap, and Lin Yinping had been separated and combined in the past few days, coupled with the endless palace affairs, which made him a little physically and mentally tired, but Lin Yinping was unprecedentedly more and more courageous, which made Xiao Yu have to sigh, sure enough, "if you are a woman, you are weak, and if you are a mother, you are strong", the ancients did not deceive me.
Just when Xiao Yu was about to move, he was born with a vision.
A loud sound came from the direction of the main entrance of the palace.
Xiao Yu followed the prestige, only to see a piece of flying sword like rain, rising from the ground.
On top of the sword headed by nearly a thousand flying swords, there was a blue cloth standing, overhauling and shaking.
Up and down the middle capital, the whole city shook.
There were three celestial masters inside and outside the palace who attacked this uninvited villain at the same time.
The person who came waved his sleeves lightly, rolled up his sleeves, broke the joint momentum of the three celestial masters, and then continued to move forward in style, ignoring the tails of the three celestial masters.
More than a thousand flying swords crossed the three halls of the Qianfu and came to hover over Qinghu.
Everyone in the palace looked up at the uninvited guest standing on the flying sword.
The sword eyebrows are in the sideburns, the rich god Lang Yu, it looks like he is not confused about his age, and the three filters are long and the hair is on the chest, and the appearance is lifelike and beautiful.
He overlooked the Northwest Palace, and said loudly: "Jin Hong, the official of the Guardian Country, has come to ask the Northwest King for a sword." β
Xiao Yu subconsciously clenched his fists, then let go, and whispered to himself: "Shangguan Jinhong, Shangguan family or Sword Sect?"
Shangguan Jinhong, the younger brother of Shangguan Qinghong, the head of the Shangguan family of the Weiguo Family, and the nephew of Shangguan Xianchen, the sect leader of the Sword Sect, rarely walks around outside on weekdays, even Xiao Yu, who owns some of the Secret Guards and Tianji Pavilion, only knows that there is such a person, as for the rest, he knows nothing. So Xiao Yu didn't rush to show up, but planned to observe in secret first to see what confidence Shangguan Jinhong had, and dared to break into the Northwest Palace, not to mention, but also threatened to ask himself for a sword.
At this time, the three celestial masters who shot were Zishui Yang, Jin Chen, and Yang Chen.
Zichen, who was dressed in a purple robe, held an ebony staff, and at this time, he didn't pay attention to any subtle means, and swept away directly with the ebony staff, but Shangguan Jinhong didn't look back, a flying sword moved in response, and collided with the ebony staff, and layers of ripples rippled on the flying sword, while Zi Shuiyang flew directly backwards for more than three zhang before he could stop his body.
A feather fan appeared in Jin Chen's hand, and with a sudden wave, there was a wind that was self-generated, its wind was like a knife, and there was the sound of gold and stone, Yang Chen took out a jade ruler, and the jade ruler swirled, and countless phantoms of the same jade ruler were born, falling towards Shangguan Jinhong layer by layer.
Xiao Yu's gaze fell on Shangguan Jinhong.
Shangguan Jinhong seemed to be aware of it, but instead of looking for Xiao Yu's location, he waved his hands lightly.
The more than 1,000 flying swords under his feet were divided into two groups, one wave was like intertwining like a copper wall and an iron wall, blocking the wind of the golden dust, and the other group directly met the thousands of foot shadows, and after killing all the foot shadows, they stabbed towards Yang Chen, and the sword momentum was incomparable, cutting through the sky, bringing a roaring thunder.
Yang Chen snorted lightly, the jade ruler in his hand was protected in front of him, and one circle after another flew out from the jade ruler, each circle was set on the sword body of a flying sword, trying to trap all the flying swords.
But in vain.
Shangguan Jinhong flicked his fingers again, and all the flying swords trembled, and then they rose into the sky, and the circles that intended to trap the flying swords were all shattered.
Yang Chen's face suddenly turned pale, his body staggered, and he fell into the lake, making a splash.
Shangguan Jinhong's figure was raised again, and he could overlook the entire Northwest Palace. He did notice Xiao Yu's gaze just now, but because he had to deal with two Dao Sect real people, he couldn't immediately find Xiao Yu's whereabouts, and now it was difficult to find the slightest trace of Xiao Yu.
Shangguan Jinhong said in a deep voice: "Shangguan Jinhong asked the king of the northwest for a sword, and asked His Highness to show up, is it possible that the invincible hand of heaven and man is just boasting of empty words!?"
Xiao Yu, who was in the inner mansion, walked towards the outer mansion and said calmly: "The person who came is a guest, and he is asking for a sword, so please ask Mr. Shangguan to take out the sword first." β
Xiao waited. β
