Not long after the woman in black left, Li Xuanbai was attracted by the conversation of several peasant men at the adjacent table.

"Did you hear that? Several villages near Yellowstone City in the southwest have died several more in the prime of life. ”

"Not really, in the last month. Thirty-six people died last night. It's horrible. ”

"Do you think it's a ghost? I've heard that it's very close to the ghost town. Isn't it a demon who has come out to cause trouble?"

"If that's the case, it's a catastrophe. ”

......

The passers-by at the nearby tables were obviously intrigued and leaned over. Li Xuanbai drank the wine in the cup and was silent. However, the non-fish on the side shivered a little when they heard it.

Li Xuanbai joked: "Xiao Feiyu, these market words are nothing more than false rumors. You're serious. ”

Feiyu saw that what they said was true, so he didn't believe Li Xuanbai. Pale face, nervously grasping his sleeves.

Li Xuanbai was really scared when she saw Feiyu, and she didn't want to be naïve She was frightened by these gossips, so she patted her hand and said: "Little Feiyu, this evil ghost is really ethereal, I have lived in the imperial tomb for three years, and you are longer than me." Have you ever seen a ghost?"

Non-fish shake head.

Li Xuanbai saw that Feiyu's face was better, and he smiled: "If you believe in these things, you will have them, and if you don't believe them, you will not have them." If it was the Demon Cult's doing, it was somewhat credible. If it is said that it is the work of ghosts. It's ridiculous. ”

The first time Fei Yu heard about the Demon Sect, he thought it was also an evil ghost. Tremblingly, he said, "My brother lied to me." ”

Although Li Xuanbai's voice was not loud, it was also listened to by others.

A middle-aged man in a market hemp shirt was dissatisfied with Li Xuanbai's yellow mouth. got up angrily and walked to their side, and said in a cold tone: "Seeing that this son is not very old, his tone is not small. The Demon Cult has been gone for ten years. Maybe long gone. You haven't seen it with your own eyes, so how can you easily say that the Demon Sect did it?"

The other onlookers in the inn chimed in.

Feiyu had never experienced this kind of battle, and his face became panicked again when he saw the aggressive appearance of those crop men.

Li Xuanbai patted her hand lightly, and his eyes signaled her not to be afraid. Then he looked sideways at everyone and replied, "How many may I ask, have you ever seen it done by a ghost?"

"Not yet. The crowd shook their heads and replied.

"That's good. Since you have not seen it with your own eyes, why do you say that we are not telling us? If that's the case, can I say that you're talking nonsense?" Li Xuanbai looked at everyone and said coldly, word by word, sonorous and powerful.

Those villagers don't know a few words, how can they compete for Li Xuanbai's tongue. They were silent.

Li Xuanbai didn't want to argue with them too much, so after drinking the last cup of daughter red, he pulled Feiyu and left the inn.

On the way, Fei Yu curiously asked about the Demon Sect.

Li Xuanbai was full of white wine, stretched his waist, and said slowly: "In this matter of heaven and earth, there must be yang and yin. Legend has it that the Demon Cult was founded by Chiyou in ancient times. Chi especially has the appearance of heavenly demons, so it is also called the heavenly demon by the world. But that's just a legend after all. The first Demon Gate Holy Monarch really recorded in the history books was the Demon Sage Cangxuan of the pre-Qin era, and it is recorded in the book that he was talented and intelligent, and accidentally obtained the ancient Demon Gate Holy Book "Heavenly Demon Book", and founded the Demon Sect in the southern Xinjiang Huangzhou. It is said that he was arrogant, cynical, and was not tolerated by the righteous path. Therefore, I swore to be the enemy of the right way of the world. Everywhere the Demon Sect went, it set off a bloody storm. ”

Li Xuanbai looked at Fei Yu's surprised face and continued: "For thousands of years, the righteous path has been suppressed by the Demon Sect. Until 500 years ago, the Taoist sect diverted the Xiaoyao Sect to send the ancestor Xiaoyaozi to get a glimpse of the avenue in the East China Sea and realize the old sacred book "Leisurely Travel" of Zhuang. Become a righteous one. Then the two factions of the demon and the Taoist fought in Langya Mountain, Chuzhou. The Demon Cult was defeated. The Demon Gate Sacred Book "Heavenly Demon Book" was also lost in that war. For hundreds of years after that, the Demon Cult was in a situation of surviving. It wasn't until thirty years ago that the Demon Sect suddenly produced an ancient genius, Yuan Chixiao. ”

"Yuan Chixiao?" Fei Yu subconsciously called out the name.

Li Xuanbai didn't hear Feiyu's muttering, and continued: "It is rumored that there are five volumes of the Heavenly Demon Book. Back then, Cangxuan only had three volumes before he had already cultivated the Demon Gate Avenue, entered the holy product, and became a Demon Saint. It can be seen how powerful the "Book of Heavenly Demons" is. Five hundred years ago, the battle between the demons and the Tao, the three volumes of the "Book of Heavenly Demons" were lost. Only the Nine Demon Mountains in Huangzhou still have the first facsimile engraved on it. But very few people can understand it. Yuan Chixiao is worthy of being a genius through the ages, and he actually entered the top grade with the first volume and became a new generation of Demon Sect Saints. ”

Fei Yu remembered that the person in the inn just now said that the Demon Sect had ended, and his puzzled eyes turned to Li Xuanbai.

Li Xuan was confused, but instead of answering directly, he asked, "Xiao Feiyu, how many miles do you know about the masters in this world?"

Fei Yu thought for a while and said: "Grandpa once said that a hundred years ago, there were four great masters in the rivers and lakes, all of whom were immortal-like incarnations. But it's long gone. Grandpa said that today's masters of the rivers and lakes are uncountable. Even among the top ten masters in the rivers and lakes, there are a few that he can't look down on. But grandpa has a good evaluation of a person named Wu Xuangang. ”

Thinking of this, Feiyu's little head is full of puzzlement. It's even more strange why Li Xuanbai asked him this question.

Li Xuanbai affectionately touched Xiao Feiyu's little head, "Little Feiyu, do you know Wu Xuangang's origin?"

Non-fish shake head.

Li Xuanbai looked into the distance, as if he was recalling something. "More than 40 years ago, Gaozu pacified the world by force. With Gaozu's southern expedition to the north, there are not a few heroes who have created a great cause. Among them, the exploits of five generals, including Wu Changqing, Li Hu, and Sun Mingyin, are the most prominent. The so-called common hardship and common prosperity are really eternal laws. At that time, in addition to the Guan, the northern Yan Kingdom and the small Western Shu State established by the remnants of the previous dynasty in the southwest. Seven or eight out of ten of the entire world have been included in the territory of Great Chu.

In order to ensure that the Great Chu Dynasty belongs to the Liu family for thousands of generations. So he made a decision.

Gaozu knew that General Wu Changqing was deeply loved by the army and the people. So he planned the later cup of wine to release the military power, and deposed the military power of the five generals. Not only that, Gaozu forced the most meritorious general Wu to hang himself to protect the Wu family's old and young from dying. The other four generals, except for Li Hu and Sun Mingyin, were able to die well, and the other two were also beheaded. ”

Li Xuanbai looked at Xiao Feiyu, who was shocked by his words, looked at her puzzled bright eyes and said slowly: "Li Hu is my grandfather." ”

Fei Yu then understood why Li Xuanbai knew so much, but remembering that Wu Xuangang was not mentioned in his words just now, he couldn't help but feel even more strange in his heart. suddenly remembered Wu Changqing, who was known as a famous general in the world. They all have the surname Wu. looked at Li Xuanbai and said in surprise: "Could it be ......?"

Before Fei Yu could continue, Li Xuanbai said, "That's right." Wu Xuangang is Wu Changqing's only son. When the Wu family suffered this catastrophe, Wu Xuangang was secretly sent out of the Wu family to worship under the famous family to learn the art of war and martial arts. Wu Xuangang is worthy of being a descendant of a famous general. Gifted and intelligent, he has already reached the third grade at the age of twenty and has become one of the few masters in the world.

Ten years ago, in the battle between Kunlun Mountain and Cao Jun, the tenth swordsman of Western Shu in the world, he went straight to the holy product overnight. After killing Cao Jun with a sword that night, he went around challenging the top-grade masters on the list. The battle with Yuan Chixiao and Panyang Lake is said to be a shocking ghost and god. It's a pity that he died at the hands of the Demon Saint in the end. The demon Yuan Chixiao was also seriously injured in that war, and the so-called righteous path in the rivers and lakes took the opportunity to beat the water dogs and forced the demon sect back to Huangzhou. Since then, the Demon Cult has disappeared. ”

What Li Xuanbai said in his mouth is unheard of. I couldn't help but ask curiously, "How could Brother Xuanbai know so much detail?"

Li Xuanbai replied with a smile: "I have nothing to do in Kyoto, and my favorite thing every day is to enjoy wine everywhere." Some of this was learned from the mouths of those charlatans. As for the "Book of Heavenly Demons", I learned about it from a bull-nosed old Taoist. ”

Speaking of that sloppy old way, Li Xuanbai scoffed a little. That's an interesting old way. I like to drink and talk about women. How can there be a trace of the demeanor of a high-ranking person, but it is like a warlock who cheats to eat and drink.

Fei Yu was stunned when he saw Li Xuan's words, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was thinking about something. He couldn't bear to disturb him, so he craned his neck and looked around.

Li Xuanbai actually didn't elaborate on the situation back then. He didn't tell Fei Yu why his grandfather survived. It is even possible to inherit the title of Duke of Uttiru. Of course, there are also rumors in the market, saying that the night before Gaozu's Hongmen banquet, Li Hu had to wake up with a master, and he met Gaozu late at night and handed over his military power.

Things are not as simple as the world seems. Li Xuanbai remembered that when he was a child, his grandfather once said, 'The cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks, and the bird flies and hides the bow.' At that time, the Northern Yan outside the Guanxi was still eyeing each other, and the small country of Xishu was plotting against it. The so-called rabbit is not dead, the birds are flying, and it is still necessary to leave two obedient and capable generals to fight.

Li Xuanbai remembered that the sloppy old Taoist once said that the cultivation realm of the world's masters is somewhat similar to the "Book of Chess" in the pre-Qin era. There are three grades, three grades, and three grades.

That is, the world is cultivated in the world, and it is divided into nine grades.

There is a cloud in the "Book of Chess": "There are nine products of Go." The first product is in the spirit, the second product is sitting in the photo, the third product is concrete, the fourth product is quiet, the fifth product is wise, the sixth product is small, the seventh product is powerful, the eighth product is foolish, and the ninth product is clumsy. Outside of a product, there is no cloud again. ”

The lower three products are the ninth to seventh grades, and the upper three grades are the three to one grades.

The same is true for Wufu Jiupin. Only by entering the ninth rank by force can you barely enter the path of cultivation. As for the top of the first product, it is known as a holy product. Looking at the whole world, there are very few.

It is not easy for Wu Fu to prove the Tao with his strength. Wu Xuangang can go straight to the holy product, which is even more rare in the world.

......

The sky was getting dark, and Li Xuanbai and Feiyu were about to walk outside the city gate.

Suddenly, Fei Yu shook Li Xuanbai and exclaimed, "Brother Xuanbai, look at that person." ”

Li Xuanbai looked at Feiyu's hand, and it turned out to be the woman in black with a sword he had seen at the inn earlier.

The woman in black was long, and the black sword was carried behind her and slowly walked on the central avenue. It looks like he's going out of town.

Looking further back, several stout men dressed as ruffians were quietly following her.

Li Xuanbai naturally saw this.

Fei Yu saw that those people didn't look like good people, and she was afraid that the woman would have some accidents, so she couldn't help asking, "Brother Xuanbai, what did those people do with that sister?"

Li Xuanbai squinted and said, "I'm in trouble." ”

Before Feiyu asked what "trouble" meant, Li Xuanbai continued: "This fly doesn't bite seamless eggs. Let's not be nosy. If he loses his life for this, will he not die unjustly? So saying, he asked the Lapis to leave.

Fei Yu Dai frowned slightly, standing in place and refusing to move. seems to disagree with Li Xuanbai's words.

Seeing this, Li Xuanbai shook his head helplessly.

"It's really embarrassing, you're such a girl. After a pause, Li Xuanbai suddenly smiled evilly, "If I save this woman, if she promises herself, I will also earn it." ”

Fei Yu pouted when he heard this, and his heart was very disdainful.

As he spoke, the woman with the black veil had already left the city, and the men with big shoulders and round waists also followed out of the city.

Li Xuanbai and Feiyu secretly followed.
