Chapter Twenty-Three: He Didn't Lose It's Old

house.

After Zhao Xiluan's explanation, the matter was finally clarified.

In short, Lao Huang made a deal with the ancestor of the Liyang Dynasty who was cultivating in Longhu Mountain.

He went to challenge Wang Xianzhi to explore Wang Xianzhi's bottom for Zhao Huangchao, the ancestor of the Liyang Dynasty, and Zhao Huangchao wanted to block the pressure from the Liyang royal family and protect Xu Longxiang.

Because the one who wants Beiliang to fall apart the most is none other than the Liyang royal family.

As long as you grasp Xu Longxiang, it is equivalent to pinching the lifeblood of Bei Liang.

Those who secretly supported Xu Longxiang, except for Ning Emei, who simply admired his bravery, the other people who hid deeper had betrayed Beiliang and thrown themselves into the Liyang royal family.

And Zhao Xiyan himself has nothing to do with this transaction, he is just here to accept apprentices.

His Dao system must be a talented person to inherit it, so Zhao Xiyan has not had a single apprentice so far.

Xu Longxiang was born in the Vajra Realm, and he was a gifted person who could pass on his Taoism.

After listening to Zhao Xiyan's explanation, Li Fei squinted at him and pouted: "You just came to take in an apprentice, why are you bringing so many people?" It's like robbing people. ”

Zhao Xiyan spread his hands helplessly and said: "I don't want to either, the latest rules of the sect, the Heavenly Master must travel on this scale." ”

Xu Fengnian made up for it: "Pretending to be a big-tailed wolf is also the rule of Longhu Mountain?" ”

"I ......" Zhao Xi's breath stagnated, and his breath was blocked in his chest, almost choking him.

"Ahem...... cough" Li Fei coughed when he saw this, and said to Xu Fengnian seriously: "Don't pretend, in terms of the rivers and lakes, he is really a big-tailed wolf." ”

"Not to mention his identity as a celestial master, with his cultivation in the Celestial Realm, there are few opponents in this world, and this time he just hit an iron plate."

Xu Fengnian said casually: "Oh, that's it! ”

Seeing too much of Li Fei's strength, he doesn't have much feeling for the top masters of the rivers and lakes like the Celestial Realm.

You might as well not explain! Zhao Xi glanced at Li Fei speechlessly.

He looked a little confused and said: "It's not that I like to hold it, the main thing is that if this shelf is not upright, those guys will definitely report to the head when they go back." ”

"When I look back, I don't look like a heavenly master, and I have fallen into the prestige of Longhu Mountain, you don't know how verbose that old guy is, and he is very troublesome."

After speaking, he glanced at Li Fei depressedly, and then said: "Then again, if you can talk about some etiquette and invite me into the house to avoid them, shouldn't I make it clear earlier?" ”

Li Fei scratched his cheeks and said, "You don't look at your virtue just now, you have a blank and commanding posture, and it's okay if you don't beat you directly." ”

"Uh......" Zhao Xi said weakly: "What I looked like just now, do I really owe so much?" ”

"What do you say?"

"Well, I didn't have any experience before, so I was a little overdone."

This Zhao Xiyan looks like a fairy wind and bones, more like a real person than Wang Chonglou, but in fact, he doesn't pay much attention to his temperament.

The state that was shown before was completely to deal with the head of his own house, and to show it to those who accompanied him.

This old Taoist nature is actually very cute, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the only good person in Longhu Mountain.

If it weren't for his free nature, the position of the contemporary head of Longhu Mountain, which turn would be someone else to sit in?

He is still a spoiled maniac, and his only apprentice Xu Longxiang is no less spoiled than Xu Xiao to Xu Fengnian.

In the original plot, he taught him all his life's learning, because Xu Longxiang was talented, he was jealous of the heavens, and when he advanced to the celestial realm, he caused a catastrophe.

In order to help his apprentice survive the disaster, he did not hesitate to give his life.

After the matter was clarified, Li Fei looked at Xu Fengnian and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Xu Fengnian pondered for a moment, owed to Zhao Xi, and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the Heavenly Master, but there is no need, Huang Man'er does not need to leave." ”

Zhao Xiyan's face changed, and he persuaded: "This is already the best way out, you have to think clearly." ”

Xu Fengnian said quietly: "I think very clearly, traveling far away to Longhu Mountain, Huang Man'er will be homesick." ”

"You want to take him back to Beiliang?"

"I'm his brother, and I'll protect him."

Zhao Xi hurriedly said: "If the little prince goes back, then Beiliang will be in chaos in the future." ”

Xu Fengnian said in a condensed voice: "I know, I'll deal with it." ”

"Bang Dang"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and Xu Longxiang rushed in from outside the house and shouted, "Brother, I will go to Longhu Mountain with the old Taoist." ”

Chu Madnu then walked to the door, looked at Xu Fengnian and Li Fei embarrassedly, and said with a wry smile: "I can't stop him." ”

Xu Fengnian stood up, looked at Xu Longxiang with a calm face, and said, "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense." ”

Xu Longxiang said: "I understand, I can help my brother when I go." ”

Xu Fengnian said categorically: "Nonsense, I need you to help?" Just stay at home, there is a big thing to do with my brother. ”

This time, Xu Longxiang was very stubborn, and he said firmly: "Brother, I am willing to go." ”

"You ......"

Xu Fengnian glared at his younger brother, but he didn't know what to say, he was reluctant to scold, and he didn't even want to kill him.

He knew that once Huang Man'er became stubborn, the eight horses would not be able to pull back, so he had to look at Li Fei for help.

Li Fei leaned into Xu Fengnian's ear, secretly isolated the sound transmission with mana, and said softly: "I think it's not a bad thing for the little prince to go to Longhu Mountain. ”

"This old Taoist exercise is called the Spring and Autumn Festival of Great Dreams, which is of great significance to the little prince."

Xu Fengnian frowned and asked, "What's the point?" ”

Li Fei only said two words: "Enlightenment." ”

Xu Fengnian was shocked, and after his face changed for a while, he made a decision in his heart.

Zhao Xiyan didn't care so much, seeing the apprentice he was thinking about, he couldn't wait to step forward, pinching around his arm and shoulder blades, and the surprise on his face became stronger and stronger.

"I can't imagine that there are really such bones in the world, Jian Jiuhuang did not deceive the poor Dao, the vein of the poor Dao is finally inherited! Hahahaha......"

Xu Longxiang looked at Xu Fengnian and Li Fei, and seeing that they didn't say anything against it, he asked Zhao Xiyan directly, "Old Taoist, can we go?" ”

Zhao Xiyan, who was laughing to himself, heard this "old Taoist priest", like a duck caught by the neck, his laughter stopped abruptly, and he reflexively shouted: "You have to call me Master." ”

Seeing Zhao Xi blowing his beard and glaring, looking excited, Xu Longxiang just looked at him stunned and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiyan's face softened, coughed a few times, and turned his head to look at Xu Fengnian.

Xu Fengnian didn't say anything more, just stepped forward and grabbed Xu Longxiang's shoulders and walked out the door.

……

At the foot of the mountain, Li Fei and Jiang Ni stood side by side, quietly watching the brothers say goodbye.

After Xu Fengnian explained, he grabbed Xu Longxiang's shoulder, looked at Zhao Xiyan, and said expressionlessly: "You can't beat him, you can't scold him, you can't bully him." ”

"......" Zhao Xi tilted his head and said: "The apprentice who was finally found by the poor road, even if I bully myself, I won't bully him!" ”

"Oh Shizi, you can rest assured! The poor road is beautiful, warm in winter and cool in summer, and the little prince will definitely like it. ”

"There are still rare birds and beasts in the mountains, he can catch them if he wants, there are peach trees and hawthorn trees on the mountains, he can pick them if he wants to eat, and the poor road will never let him suffer the slightest grievance."

Xu Longxiang, who had not reacted all the time, immediately turned his head to look at him when he heard this, and said happily: "Hawthorn tree? ”

Zhao Xiyan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "That's right, hawthorn tree." ”

Xu Longxiang asked, "Is it too much?" ”

Zhao Xiyan smiled and said, "A lot, a lot of hawthorn trees, what's the matter?" Do you like to eat hawthorn? ”

Xu Longxiang smirked: "My brother loves to eat." ”

After speaking, he looked at Xu Fengnian again, with a sneaky look, and whispered: "Brother, when the hawthorn is ripe, I will pick it all and hide it and leave it for you to eat." ”

Xu Fengnian was moved and uncomfortable in his heart, he took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Okay, when the hawthorn is ripe, my brother will go to see you." ”

Xu Longxiang nodded happily and said, "Brother, if you miss me in the future, call me loudly, I will definitely be able to hear it." ”

Xu Fengnian's nose was sore, his eyes were hot, and he almost couldn't hold back the tears.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiyan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Xu Longxiang's wrist and said, "Okay, okay, let's go." ”

Pulling Xu Longxiang to the front and back of him, he turned around again, just saw Xu Fengnian, and quickly wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

Xu Longxiang was blocked by Zhao Xi's figure, but he didn't see this scene, and a look of gratitude flashed in Xu Fengnian's eyes.

Zhao Xiyan said casually: "Shizi, there are two sentences, please help convey them to Wang Chonglou?" ”

Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "You say." ”

Zhao Xi said with a straight face: "The Great Rhubarb Court cultivated by the head of the Wang Sect is famous, how can such a stunt be dusted? Longhushan is willing to come to the door to learn from each other, and ask for the demeanor of the rhubarb court. ”

"Just these two sentences, please tell the prince."

Xu Fengnian said clearly: "Is this to suppress Wudang by force? ”

Zhao Xiyan blinked, and said as a matter of course: "Between the sects, it's all like this, okay, let's go." ”

After speaking, he turned around and pulled Xu Longxiang and walked towards the team waiting on the mountain road ahead.

Looking at Xu Longxiang's back, Xu Fengnian's expression couldn't help but change, and finally he couldn't hold back, and said loudly: "Huang Man'er, if you don't want to leave, just tell my brother, and my brother will leave you." ”

Xu Longxiang just glanced back at him, showing a smirk, but he didn't mean to regret it.

Li Fei took a few steps forward, patted Xu Fengnian on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Don't be sad, this temporary farewell is to relax in the future." ”

Xu Fengnian said distractedly: "I...... Can it really be done? ”

Li Fei said categorically: "I have never doubted this, because you are Xu Fengnian." ”

Xu Fengnian turned his head to look at him, his heart warmed, and his gaze became more firm than ever.

"Let's go!"

Xu Fengnian was about to return to the mountain when the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded.

A knight rode over, dismounted in front of Zhao Xiyan, handed him a stack of letters, and reported something.

Zhao Xiyan glanced back at this side, which made Xu Fengnian's heart skip a beat.

Seeing that Zhao Xiyan sent the knight, he flipped through the letter paper in his hand, turned around and walked back quickly.

Xu Fengnian took two steps, looked at the letter in his hand, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhao Xiyan said with a heavy expression: "I also just got the news, Jian Jiuhuang...... He's dead. ”

Xu Fengnian trembled, and the whole person was stunned on the spot.

Zhao Xiyan handed the letter paper in his hand to him, he took it in a daze, and unfolded it to look at it.

On these letters, there are things similar to the introduction of the itinerary, and the text is straightforward, all of which record Lao Huang's trip to the East China Sea, no matter how big or small, recorded one by one.

Xu Fengnian read page by page, and the process and results of the old Huangwu Emperor City and his party were gradually revealed in front of him.

The previous records are all trivial and trivial, up to the penultimate page......

"Jian Jiuhuang rested at a wine shop not far from the main city tower, and asked for two taels of wine, half a catty of meat, and a plate of peanuts."

"Since the wine shop came out, the sword nine yellow back box swept up the wall, twenty zhang away from Wang Xianzhi, the five swords in the box were exhausted, and the eight swords took turns against the enemy."

"Wang Xianzhi always dealt with it with one hand, not taking a step back, after sixty-eight moves, Jian Jiuhuang used Jian Jiu, and Wang Xianzhi finally used both hands."

"Sword Nine, like the Milky Way hanging upside down, pouring thousands of miles, is no longer a human swordsmanship, this sword has destroyed Wang Xianzhi's sleeve robe."

"Wang Xianzhi fought with all his might, the two were evenly matched, and after fighting forty-nine more moves, Jian Jiuhuang died of exhaustion."

Seeing this, Xu Fengnian choked up and said: "Lao Huang didn't lose, he is old." ”

Zhao Xiyan nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Xianzhi personally admitted that if it weren't for Jian Jiuhuang's exhaustion, he would be slightly inferior in this battle. ”

This is the end of the text, but there is still a page behind it, which is some additions.

"Appendix 1: After Jian Jiuhuang was exhausted, the meridians were broken, and he sat cross-legged at the head of the city, looking north with his head, and died without falling."

"Appendix 2: After this battle, no one in the world dares to say that Jian Jiuhuang is far inferior to the sword god Deng Tai'a, and Cao Guanzi in Guanhai Tower praises it, Jian Jiuyi is out, the sword intent is heroic, and there is no clever sword move in the world."

"Appendix 3: Sword Nine is six thousand miles, which is said by Jian Jiuhuang himself."

"Appendix 4: Jian Jiuhuang seems to have had his last words before he died, but only Wang Xianzhi heard about it."

After reading all the information, Xu Fengnian raised his head and asked Zhao Xiyan with red eyes, "Where did his sword box go?" ”

Zhao Xi said: "Stayed at the head of Emperor Wu City." ”

"To be able to force Wang Xianzhi like this, there are few in the world, and Jian Jiuhuang is already a legend."

"Mourn on the Son's Day! Sword Nine Yellow ...... It can also be regarded as seeking benevolence and benevolence, and saying goodbye to poverty. ”

With that, he shook off the dust, turned and strode away, and got into the carriage.

After Zhao Xiyan's team left, Xu Fengnian suddenly remembered something.

He turned his head to look at Li Fei and grabbed his arms like grasping a life-saving straw.

His voice trembled and said, "Ah Fei, you once asked Lao Huang to leave a few drops of blood, saying that it could save his life, right?" ”

Jiang Ni looked at the two of them in confusion, not understanding what Xu Fengnian was crazy about.

Lao Huang has died in Emperor Wu City, how long has it been since the news was sent here? What do you say now to save your life?

Li Fei's face was full of confusion and embarrassment, and said, "Xu Shao, you know, unless I am really sure, I will not say it." ”

"I won't say anything until I'm sure, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

Xu Fengnian said unrelentingly this time: "No, you have to say, I want you a word, I just want to know, is there any possibility for Lao Huang to come back to life?" ”

Li Fei frowned, and after a moment of silence, he met Xu Fengnian's expectant gaze, and he said slowly: "I only have four words now, whether it can be done or not depends on the future." ”

"You say."

Li Fei said word by word: "Di...... Blood...... Heavy...... Bear. ”

When Xu Fengnian heard these four words, his body couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes widened.

Jiang Ni also looked at Li Fei dumbfounded, and said in a lost voice: "How is this kind of thing possible?" Could it be that you are an immortal? ”

Li Fei smiled bitterly: "I don't think it's possible, but that's what my subconscious told me." ”

"I can't do it now, but who can say for sure, whether I can do it in the future?"

Xu Fengnian's face changed, and he said slowly after a long time: "Who can say for sure what is happening in this world?" What if Ah Fei is an immortal who has fallen to the mortal dust because of some catastrophe? ”

He looked at Jiang Ni, as if he was talking to her, and as if he was talking to himself.

"In the past, Ah Fei was just a singer, and his greatest wish was to be appreciated by me, the world's number one, with a good song, get a big reward, and live a good life."

"If someone had told me at the time that he was actually a peerless master with a unique skill, I would have thought it was impossible, but what was the result?"

Jiang Ni was speechless, just looked at Li Fei with a strange expression.

Immortals?

The appearance is also on top, and the ability is unfathomable, maybe it is really possible.

Li Fei sighed, patted Xu Fengnian on the shoulder, and said, "It's too early to say anything, no matter what my origin is, you just need to remember that I am your brother, and that's enough." ”

"Lao Huang is also my friend, if I am really some kind of immortal, he will get back his magical power one day, I will definitely save him."

"At that time, I will clear all obstacles for you, and let's go live the life we want to live together."

Xu Fengnian looked at Li Fei in a daze, and the warmth rose in his chest.

A relieved smile melted on his face, his hand hooked Li Fei's shoulder, and said with a smile: "That's right, we are good brothers, that's enough, nothing else matters." ”

Li Fei smiled and nodded, "I'll talk about it later, but you have one thing you have to do in the near future." ”

"What's the matter?"

Li Fei turned to look to the east and said faintly: "Lao Huang's sword box is still at the head of Emperor Wu City. ”

Xu Fengnian's face gradually froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Lao Huang went to Emperor Wu City for me, and I have to take the sword box back for him myself." ”

Li Fei turned around and walked up the mountain, and said, "Let's go, go back to practice, I want to help Lao Huang get back the sword box, but it doesn't rely on his mouth, after all, he can still convince people with virtue." ”

Hearing his words of convincing people with virtue, the corners of Xu Fengnian's mouth twitched, and he stepped forward to follow.

"Girl, please go and tell Wang Chonglou what Zhao Xiyan wants Xu Shao to tell."

"Oh."

……

From today on, Xu Fengnian has practiced even harder, except for eating and going to the thatched house during the day, he has never left the knife in his hand.

At night, he didn't sleep at all, meditating all night and practicing the art of tuna, which was really twelve hours of practice.

Such a desperate practice will naturally not be in vain, his body and soul are improving all the time, and now he is waiting for the rhubarb court to be in place.

On the Jade Pillar Peak, in front of the Taizhen Palace in the main hall of Wudang.

After Wang Chonglou heard the news relayed by Hong Xixiang and told him by Jiang Ni, his face became very ugly.

"Asking for advice? This is the next battle book! It seems that Longhu Mountain is about to do something to us. ”

Hong Xixiang said puzzledly: "We didn't provoke Longhu Mountain!" What are they doing to us? ”

Wang Chonglou said: "Longhu Mountain is in the sky, and there is a court as a backer, since I have practiced the Rhubarb Court, they naturally want to defeat me, so that I can climb up the name of Wudang." ”

Hong Xixiang said: "Then let's just win against them?" ”

Wang Chonglou glanced at him speechlessly, and sighed: "How can it be so easy, if you win, won't Wudang become the number one enemy of Longhu Mountain?" ”

"At that time, I'm afraid that Wudang will really be destroyed in the hands of my Wang Chonglou."

Hong Xixiang suddenly had a sad face, and said in a tangled manner: "You can't win and you can't lose, it's too difficult." ”

Wang Chonglou's eyes flickered several times, and he suddenly asked, "What has Xu Fengnian been doing lately?" ”

Hong Xixiang said helplessly: "What else can I do?" Practice knives. ”

Wang Chonglou stroked his beard under his chin, and a look of determination appeared in his eyes, as if he had made a decision.
