Chapter 180: A Famous Ghost Swordsman
Dayan border.
The wind and sand are long, vast, rough and bold, and the majestic charm is shocking, but also makes people feel endless tiredness.
This place is far away from the hustle and bustle, even the birds will not be nostalgic for this place, the heavy time is pressed on this vast land, it is difficult to pick up that wisp of the glorious years, yesterday, today, tomorrow are frozen together.
Only drought-tolerant jujube trees and poplars grow, and occasionally clusters of half-foot tall stilt grass, watch over the land alone.
This feeling is better than the sea and mountains, and it gives a real understanding of what is empty and vast.
An Jing held the evil sword in his hand and looked in the direction of the distance.
It was as if his mind was still thinking about the majesty left in the palm of that hand, or as if he was admiring the vast land in the distance.
"Whoa!" "Whoa!"
At the same time, countless masters of the rivers and lakes flocked from afar.
These people were dressed in a variety of costumes, but the anxious expressions on their faces were all the same, and they all wanted to know what happened to the ghost swordsman chasing Qi Shu.
"That's a ghost swordsman!"
One person saw An Jing standing in front of him, and hurriedly shouted.
Everyone stopped and looked over.
I saw the yellow sand sweeping in front of me, the sound of the wind hunting, and the hem of the black-robed man's clothes swirled with the wind, and his body was as straight as a spear.
The ground around them was a mess, and blood could be faintly seen.
The black Jiao was hovering in mid-air at the moment, quietly waiting for something.
"What's going on?"
"What about the Qishu people?"
.........
Everyone's hearts were full of doubts.
In the crowd, a woman walked out slowly and shouted, "Your Excellency, I don't know where the Qishu thief is now?" ”
A few wrinkles appeared on the woman's face, but her facial features were very beautiful and charming, and there were autumn waves in her eyes.
Peerless sword, Wang condensing water.
A master of all corners of the world.
"The mysterious master of the Great Snow Mountain, rescued."
An Jing lightly retracted his gaze and said lightly.
Hearing An Jing's words, everyone present was full of regret, but then they were all shocked in their hearts.
"That little boy of Qi Shu was chased and killed for more than 300 miles, and this time it can be regarded as a big heel."
"If it weren't for Houjin's action, Qi Shu would definitely die."
"Such a despicable and shameless villain actually let him run away."
"Could it be that the Great Snow Mountain is secretly colluding with the Black Ice Terrace?"
"Houjin barbarians, dare to offend my ancestral land?"
........
Although everyone was a little sorry.
Three hundred miles!
The ghost swordsman chased and killed Qi Shu for a full three hundred miles.
You must know that Qi Shu is also a master second to none in Zhao Guo, and his reputation when he debuted was no less than Xiao Qianqiu, or even higher than his three points.
It was only later that Qi Shu was gradually suppressed by Xiao Qianqiu.
Xiao Qianqiu is known as the world's first genius, the master who has the most hope of entering the great grandmaster, and it is not a shame to be suppressed by this person.
And Zhao Guo also regarded Qi Shu as the next Qi Wushuang, and Qi Shu did not live up to the expectations of others at all, and he was already a second qi master in his early fifties.
Now that he has suffered such a humiliation, and has run three hundred miles in disgrace, if it weren't for the Houjin master's action, he might have died in the territory of Dayan, under the sword of the ghost swordsman.
Looking at that figure, everyone was a little awe-struck.
An Jing exhaled softly, he was deep in thought.
Now that he is already a half-step grandmaster, how can he really reach the grandmaster with three flowers.
If he cultivated on his own, it would take decades of penance to get there, but now he couldn't wait that long, he needed to find a way to quickly advance to the Grandmaster.
"There are still two months, two months to reach the Grandmaster."
An Jing ignored everyone, jumped and fell on Jiao's back.
"Roar!"
The black Jiao roared, and the majestic voice shook the sky and resounded in all directions.
Everyone was staring at the scene in front of them, the peerless swordsman was soaked in the orange sunlight, and there was an indescribable freedom between his gestures.
Everyone's eyes were solemn, and they avoided it to both sides.
Wang Ningshui watched his back gradually disappear and couldn't help shouting.
"Your Excellency, when did you become the number one swordsman in the world?"
An Jing didn't speak again, the black Jiao was extremely fast, and disappeared from everyone's field of vision in the blink of an eye.
........
Xuwang Mountain, Land Temple.
At this time, the land temple was in a mess, and the place where it could be seen was full of devastation.
Zhao Xuening couldn't hear the sound outside, and cautiously poked her head out.
"Hoo ........"
Seeing this scene of no one around, she couldn't help but exhale heavily, and then crawled out hard.
There is no one now, and if they stay here, I don't know if the Qi Shu will come back.
"Princess?! Why are you here? ”
Just then, a sharp voice rang out.
Zhao Xuening raised his head and saw a man standing outside the ruined temple.
The man is extremely handsome, and his facial features have a kind of feminine beauty, which seems to be much better than Zhao Xuening.
"Small table?"
Zhao Xuening was overjoyed when she saw the visitor.
This person is Zhuo Yuchang, after he came out of the prison with some connections, he planned to go to Dongluoguan to pick flowers, but he didn't think that when he passed by Xuwang Mountain, he felt the vibration of the qi engine, so he sneaked up the mountainside to find out.
The corners of Zhuo Yuchang's mouth twitched, and he said, "Caomin is no longer a eunuch in the palace now, just call me by my name." ”
Zhao Xuening hurriedly shouted: "Little table, come and help me, let's go quickly." ”
When Zhuo Yuchang heard this, he helped Zhao Xuening to walk towards the outside of the temple, and asked, "Princess, what the hell is going on?" ”
Now the rivers and lakes south of Pingling are completely chaotic, and everyone is crazy looking for Qishu's whereabouts.
All kinds of true and false news are complicated, which makes many people in the rivers and lakes confused, all in all, the entire temple and rivers and lakes are in a mess.
Zhao Xuening took a deep breath and said, "The Qishu thief is preparing to go north and give me to Houjin, but I didn't expect to meet the ghost swordsman here, and then the two fought, and now they are gone........"
"Ghost Swordsman!?"
When Zhuo Yuchang heard this, he couldn't help but think of the 'king-size' belly pocket in his mind, and a bad memory came to his heart.
If it weren't for that 'king-sized' belly pocket, he wouldn't have been sent to prison.
Zhao Xuening saw the expression on Zhuo Yuchang's face and asked, "What, do you know this person?" ”
"No, I don't know."
Zhuo Yuchang hurriedly shook his head, "That ghost swordsman has an extremely mysterious identity in the rivers and lakes, how can I know him?" But who I know who knows this person? ”
"Who?"
"Qiu Lun, the son of the Marquis of Pingyang, knows."
"Qiu Lun!?"
Zhao Xuening's expression also became strange, and her impression of Qiu Lun was extremely deep.
Originally, Zuo Linglong wanted to match her marriage with Qiu Lun.
When Zhao Xuening saw the big fat man like a water tank for the first time, there was a feeling of resistance in his heart, which was clearly not a person, but a big ball of meat.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xuening didn't speak, so Qiu Lun bluntly refused.
Which prince and nobleman did not treat her with great courtesy and flattery in every possible way, only Qiu Lun avoided himself like a snake and scorpion, as if he had seen a ghost.
even kept saying that he was ugly.
Moreover, she always felt that there was something wrong with this person's brain circuits.
According to the saying that things gather people in groups, the ghost swordsman's head also seems to be abnormal, after all, normal people and abnormal people can't mix together.
However, this escape is still thanks to the ghost swordsman.
"Forget it, let's go."
Zhao Xuening didn't think about it anymore, but urged Zhuo Yuchang to walk into the distance.
The two hurriedly descended Xuwang Mountain and ran in the direction of Yujing City.
"Someone!?"
As soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Zhuo Yuchang felt a familiar qi machine coming rapidly in front of him.
"Princess, I still have something to do, so I'll leave today."
Saying that, Zhuo Yuchang put down Zhao Xuening and wanted to flee into the distance.
"Grandson, where to go?"
Just as Zhuo Yuchang had just taken a step, a dry palm rested on his shoulder.
"Dry... Godgrandpa, why are you here? ”
Zhuo Yuchang turned his head and looked at the white-eyed old man behind him, like a mourner.
The white-eyed old eunuch ignored Zhuo Yuchang and turned his head to look at Zhao Xuening, leaned over and said, "The old slave was too late to save the car, which frightened the princess." ”
Zhao Xuening breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it was my own accident that let that Qi technique take advantage of the loophole, but it caused so much chaos, so you are also worried." ”
With this person here, she knew she was safe.
The white-eyed old eunuch said: "Princess, let's go back to the palace quickly, the queen is anxious at the moment......"
Zhao Xuening frowned slightly, and said, "Okay, let's go back quickly." ”
Zhuo Yuchang's face on the side sank, and he thought of something, "Grandpa, I remembered, I borrowed some things from others yesterday, and I have to return them today, how can I be untrustworthy?" I, Zhuo Yuchang, as a man, have always smeared a nail in one mouthful, please allow me to fulfill my promise......"
The white-eyed old eunuch said lightly: "You borrowed that woman's belly pocket, right?" In my opinion, it doesn't matter if you don't pay it back, besides, you are not a man, just a eunuch, and the most important thing to be a eunuch is to know where you are. ”
"Grandson, let's go back with grandpa."
Zhuo Yuchang's face turned red, and then he sighed heavily, as if he had accepted his fate.
........
Three days later, Jade City, White Jade Palace.
The first woman was dressed in fiery red clothes, the skirt was embroidered with a golden auspicious cloud pattern, a pair of sharp and charming Danfeng eyes were smiling, and the phoenix luan in the center of Lingyun's bun had a pearl in her mouth, which was magnificent and charming.
This person is the current Empress Dayan, Zuo Linglong.
The next one is Zhao Mengtai, who just arrived.
Zuo Linglong said with palpitations: "This time is really dangerous, if it weren't for the ghost swordsman and Qi Shu fighting, it would have almost really let that Qi Shu run away." ”
At this moment, Zhao Xuening had returned to the palace, and the news that the ghost swordsman had chased Qi Shu for more than 300 miles, and finally chased him to the border of Dayan and was rescued by the master of Houjin spread all over the world.
This invisibly made the reputation of the ghost swordsman reach a new height again, many young knights competed to imitate the clothes of the ghost swordsman, and even some flower thieves were wearing black robes, nostalgic boudoir in the dark pavilion, the probability of picking flowers was greatly increased.
Because no one in this river and lake knows what the ghost swordsman's face looks like, whether he is male or female, and how old he is.
And some wealthy families are still alive, and the brave and heroic heroines even posted tens of thousands of rewards, wanting to see the true face of the ghost swordsman, and this matter soon became a big talk in the rivers and lakes.
Not only women, but even some men are curious about where the ghost swordsman is sacred.
There are also many young people looking for the whereabouts of the ghost swordsman, wanting to learn his unfathomable swordsmanship as a teacher.
For a time, the three words ghost swordsman in the rivers and lakes can be described as famous, and his real fame has spread all over the world and has been supported by countless people.
Zuo Biwen even ignored the fact that the True One Sect was wanted, and bluntly said that as long as the ghost swordsman came to the Valley of the Wind Valley, he would be the guest of the Valley of the Wind Valley.
Small kiosk
Zhao Mengtai said in a deep voice: "The strength of the ghost swordsman should not be so strong, it should be the black Jiao he sat on." ”
As for the strength of the ghost swordsman, he was always paying attention to it, although he said that he had killed a master such as the old man Qingfeng, he was far from having the strength to hunt down and kill the master of the second qi grandmaster.
"Anyway, it's a favor."
Zuo Linglong took a deep breath and said, "I heard that this ghost swordsman is a person on the wanted list of the True One Sect, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”
Zhao Mengtai nodded and said, "It's true." ”
Zuo Linglong asked tentatively: "Then there is a chance to persuade peace?" ”
"I'm afraid not."
Zhao Mengtai shook his head.
Zuo Linglong didn't care much about the things in the rivers and lakes, but vaguely knew that some time ago, Xiao Qianqiu and Lou Xiang Zhenyuan Lake battled, and it seemed that the ghost swordsman was also among them.
It is absolutely impossible for the True One Sect to give up the Jade Emperor Sutra, and if the ghost swordsman takes the initiative to hand over the Jade Emperor Sutra, it will undoubtedly break the backbone of a swordsman.
Zuo Linglong pondered for a moment, then thought of something and asked, "What did Elder Lu say?" ”
"Old Lu agreed."
Zhao Mengtai smiled, "With Xue Ning's appearance and status, there should be very few men in the world who can refuse her, now it depends on whether Xue Ning is satisfied." ”
Zuo Linglong bowed slightly, and said, "Although he is a student of Lu Lao, I still have to take a look at his character." ”
"Don't worry, the queen mother can rest assured, and this matter will be handed over to the child."
Zhao Mengtai got up and prepared to say goodbye: "Since Xue Ning is resting, the child will come to visit next time......"
"Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
At this moment, a delicate-looking palace maid walked in.
When Zhao Mengtai heard this, his tone was stunned, and his brows wrinkled subconsciously.
Zuo Linglong nodded and said, "Let him come in." ”
"Yes."
After speaking, the palace maid retreated.
Zhao Mengtai smiled and said, "It's just right, I haven't seen my brother for a long time." ”
Zuo Linglong naturally saw the appearance of this 'brother and brother Gong', at this time the two brothers in the temple were already competing against each other and could not be separated, but she also knew that this was the helplessness of the emperor's family.
If Zhao Xuening was a man, would she still be so close to Zhao Mengtai?
A short time later, a man with a kind smile and a good demeanor walked in.
It was the crown prince Zhao Chongyin.
"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye." Zhao Chongyin bowed to Zuo Linglong above.
"No need to be polite."
Zuo Ling smiled and said, "You also came to see Xue Ning today, but she just rested." ”
Zhao Chongyin smiled at the corner of his mouth, "It's a pity, but Erchen hasn't asked his mother for a long time when he has been out of the house, and he should come today, and I can see the second brother I haven't seen for a long time, and I happen to have something important to look for him." ”
As he spoke, Zhao Chongyin glanced at Zhao Mengtai.
Zuo Linglong said: "Prince, you sit down first." ”
"Thank you, Mother."
Zhao Chongyin straightened the hem of his clothes, and then sat down, his bearing was extraordinary, and he always had a smile on his face, which made people feel good when they looked at it.
And Zhao Mengtai was extremely cold, even with a hint of mockery, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, when you see me today, I'm afraid you're not here to show off to me, right?" ”
Tianji Pavilion was his decades-long effort, and now not only suffered heavy losses, but also was forced to go underground, which can be said to have caused Zhao Mengtai to lose a big arm.
Zhao Chongyin glanced at Zhao Mengtai and said with a smile: "Naturally not, I came here to talk about the Qi technique." ”
Zhao Mengtai's fingers lightly clasped on the table, his expression indifferent, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please speak." ”
Zhao Chongyin said: "Second brother, I guess you also know that Qi Shu was able to escape this time, all because after that, the top master of the Golden Dynasty made a move, and there were only a few people who were able to resist peerless swordsmen such as ghost swordsmen without entering the territory of Dayan." ”
"Houjin and Zhao Guo, one is a jackal and the other is a tiger, and now it seems that they treat my Dayan as a fat sheep."
Zhao Mengtai didn't speak, and the trace of yin owl in his eyes was completely retracted.
Although it has been rumored that Houjin will go south, this rumor has been there since three years ago, and now that several years have passed, it is somewhat relaxing.
But today, from Qi Shu's body, you can get a glimpse of it.
Hou Jin obviously has some kind of consensus with Zhao Guo, it can be said that Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by, and the only thing that worries Hou Jin and Zhao Guo now is whether the Great Yan Emperor has really reached the realm of the Great Grandmaster.
Others don't know, but Zhao Mengtai knows very well that the Human Emperor failed to reach the realm of this great grandmaster, but was injured by backlash, and as for the specific injuries in his body, it may be more serious than he expected.
This is also the reason why he has been a little anxious recently.
At this time, Dayan was surrounded by strong enemies, and it was already in danger.
Zuo Linglong also frowned, extremely worried in her heart.
The country is ruined and the family is ruined, these are just four words, but the pressure in my heart is heavier than the mountains, especially since she is still the queen of Dayan today, and her own fate and her daughter's fate are tied to the national fortune.
Zhao Chongyin continued: "Then the Jin delegation will soon come to Dayan, and its original intention seems to be to marry, but the real purpose is probably to spy on intelligence. ”
"No matter what the intelligence is, both Houjin and Zhao are likely to send troops, the only difference is how to send troops and when to send troops."
Zhao Mengtai couldn't help but nodded, the Holy Lord of Houjin can be said to have the best understanding of the art of war in the ancestral land, and he will never fight a battle that he is not sure of.
"That's what I want to say."
Zhao Chongyin took a deep breath, then got up and said, "Queen Mother, I'll leave first." ”
After speaking, Zhao Chongyin slowly walked out of the White Jade Palace.
Zuo Linglong looked at Zhao Chongyin's back, and then looked at Zhao Mengtai, who had been silent.
"Dream Terrace."
"Queen Mother, don't worry, I'm not a person who doesn't know the general situation."
Zhao Meng had a smile on his face, but his heart became more and more cold.
Zhao Chongyin's trick is really vicious.
Now that Da Yan is surrounded by strong enemies, he will compete with him again, which is tantamount to putting Da Yan in dire straits, and the words he said in the White Jade Palace today are on the one hand to remind himself, and on the other hand, to Zuo Linglong to listen.
But if you don't do it yourself, then when the prince really completely wins the hearts of the people and consolidates, will he really have a chance?
........
Dongluo Pass, under the sealed demon well.
"What do you mean, this world is divided into three, not the era of the unification of the Qin Dynasty?"
Nan Weiping was lying on the ground and asked without a word.
During this time, she would ask about the outside world when she had nothing to do, and she also knew the current situation today.
"Yes."
Zhao Qingmei said lightly.
When Nan Weiping heard this, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In this era, it is no longer suitable for me, maybe staying here is the best place for me." ”
Such a long time has long smoothed out the ambition and ambition in her heart, and she can't help but say such a sentence.
Zhao Qingmei glanced at Nan Weiping and said, "That senior still wants to get out of the sealed demon well?" ”
Nan Weiping was silent for a long time and said, "I want to go and see the sunrise and sunset." ”
Who would have thought that this master, who had once cultivated to the realm of a great grandmaster, now wished nothing more than to see the sunrise and sunset.
This seems to be an extremely ordinary thing, but it is impossible for her, because of the Nine Heavens Dark Iron on her body.
Zhao Qingmei did not speak, but closed the diary in front of her.
Nan Weiping looked at Zhao Qingmei and said, "Little girl, how about combing my hair?" ”
"You're not afraid I'll do it to you?"
Zhao Qingmei raised her eyebrows.
"Don't be afraid."
Nan Weiping shook her head, leaned her back against Zhao Qingmei and said, "If you want to get out of this magic well, you still need an old body, so it is impossible for you to kill the old body." ”
Zhao Qingmei looked at Nan Weiping's serious expression and tone, and actually smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”
Then Zhao Qingmei took out a comb and walked behind Nan Weiping.
The comb ran down the messy, black and white hair, and it was able to bring up a clump of silver hair.
Nan Weiping said: "If it weren't for the special nature of this stone cave, maybe I would have had lice in my hair." ”
Zhao Qingmei said casually: "Why are the seniors trapped here?" ”
Nan Weiping waved his hand and said, "The past is over, don't mention it." ”
Zhao Qingmei didn't speak again, but combed her hair carefully, then coiled her hair up to form a bun, and finally took out the hairpin she carried with her and inserted it.
Nan Weiping touched his sideburns and the bun on his head, and said, "Bring me your bronze mirror?" ”
Zhao Qingmei walked to the side of the stone platform and handed over her bronze mirror.
Following the bronze mirror, Zhao Qingmei also saw the face on Nan Weiping's face.
His eyes were bloodshot, his skin was like dry bark, his cheekbones were sunken, and his skin had long since lost his youthful appearance with the passage of time.
It's hard to imagine what kind of person she was when she was younger.
"Hahahaha."
Seeing herself in the bronze mirror, Nan Weiping laughed, and then looked at Zhao Qingmei, "Little girl, what do you think if I say that you will stay here with me for the rest of your life?" ”
Zhao Qingmei's eyes narrowed into a slit and said, "Impossible." ”
Nan Weiping smiled and whispered to herself: "Yes, you are so beautiful and so moving, isn't it a waste of your good years to be trapped in this sealed magic well?" ”
Neither of them spoke again, and the cave seemed to become quiet.
"I'm going to fetch dinner for tonight."
Zhao Qingmei turned around and prepared to leave the stone cave.
Suddenly, Nan Weiping raised his head and looked at the top of the stone cave and said. "The door, just above you."
"Door!?"
When Zhao Qingmei heard this, she hurriedly looked towards the top of the stone cave.
There are only characters above the sight, and nothing else, where is there a trace of the door?
"The door, that's a door of the heart."
Nan Weiping said quietly.
.........
PS: It's not that I'm sick, it's not that there's something, it's just that I'm a little tired, so that's all for today.
