Wonderland
It was obviously a sunny day, but Shangyang felt a cool breath in his back, and he couldn't help but shiver, which made Qiyun on the side feel strange.
"Senior brother, are you catching a cold?" Qi Yun couldn't help but wonder in his heart, people who practice martial arts are already in good health, and ordinary minor illnesses and disasters can't get close to the body at all, not to mention that Shangyang is still practicing Shenxiao Sword Technique, which is a supreme yang martial arts.
"No ......"
Shangyang shook his head, and then Zhengse said: "Senior brother, the convoy of gifts to the imperial court has arrived in Huashan, and that guy from Beiming has decided to go down the mountain to rob the road, what do you think?"
"Let it be."
Qi Yun's answer was impeccable, but it also made Shangyang more and more irritable, his senior brother was a monk who respected the "Tao Law and Nature", so it was not surprising that the other party made such a decision, but he couldn't.
Remembering what Cangyue had said to him before, Shangyang hesitated for a moment and said to Qiyun, "Senior brother, do you believe in the prophecy?"
"What's the matter, isn't it that Miss Cangyue has any new ideas?" Qi Yun looked at Shang Yang and said, "Senior brother, the Dao is natural, some things are destined to be unchangeable, how can you confront heaven and earth, and if you take it by force, you will destroy yourself."
Shangyang was shocked: "Senior brother, don't you also know?"
"Know what?" Qi Yun was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I'm just explaining to you the Tao that I learn on weekdays, if you have an understanding, it is naturally the best, the Tao is in heaven and earth, and it can be reversed by non-human beings."
Shangyang was stunned, and then smiled bitterly that he was too nervous, but after listening to Qi Yun's words, he thought about it carefully but said disapprovingly: "Senior brother, I don't agree with your words, the Tao is not natural, but people come out."
"Senior brother is obsessed," Qi Yun shook his head and said, "Ancient beings and all things are born on the earth, the earth depends on the sky and exists, the sky depends on the Tao and understands, everything in the world is based on the Tao as the law, it is for the Tao and the law of nature, life in the heaven and earth, you should obey the way of heaven and earth, junior brother, the Tao always exists, and people are just a passerby in these hundred years."
Shangyang was silent, then he pulled out his sword, the sonorous sword roared like a dragon's roar, trembling like a star, he held the sword and said to Qi Yun: "Senior brother, I entered the Tao with a sword, and my Tao is on the edge of the sword, but the sword is dead, it will not stab out by itself, and the person who makes it stab out is me, so my Dao is in my own hands, and it can not be bound by heaven and earth."
"How does Senior Brother know that the sword path in your hand is made by you, not by heaven and earth," Qi Yun bent his fingers in the void, the black and white Taiji diagram was condensed on his fingertips, and the two-colored yin and yang fish swirled and spread, turning into two chains to trap Shangyang's sword, only to hear him whisper: "The sword technique you have learned was taught by the master, but if you are not you, this sword technique will still be passed on by the master to another person, and at that time, there will still be one person who will perform your current sword technique, and everything will still follow the guidance of the Tao."
Shangyang frowned, he wanted to take the sword back, but found that the blade of the sword seemed to be submerged in the quagmire, no matter how he exerted his strength, it was like a mud dragon entering the sea and could not shake it in the slightest, and even fell deeper and deeper.
Taking a deep breath, Shangyang slowly closed his eyes, and then opened them suddenly, and at that moment, a bright light like a meteor bloomed from the sword, and the two chains were also broken, Qi Yun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Senior brother, why bother."
Shangyang put away the sword and raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Senior brother, you are wrong, if someone else uses my swordsmanship, he may not be able to break free from your shackles today, so I am right, my way is in my hands."
After that, Shangyang turned around and left, and when he was about to go out, he stopped and said to Qiyun behind him: "Miss Cangyue predicted what would happen today, the things outside the mouth of the North Hell's mouth would be sent to the capital, and then set off a catastrophe that would affect all factions in the rivers and lakes."
"Is that so?" Qi Yun's reaction was flat, and he didn't seem to take this matter to heart, he asked, "Then looking at the appearance of the junior brother, are you going to stop this matter?"
"That's right, I want to prove one thing, since my way can come out on my own, then the so-called prophecy can definitely be broken by manpower." After Shangyang finished speaking, he left, Qi Yun watched the figure go away, and then went to find the steward disciple of Huashan.
"Could you please lend the pigeons and manpower of the credit to the poor road?" Qi Yun asked the disciple of Nahua Mountain.
The Huashan disciple nodded and said, "This is naturally fine, I don't know where the message will be transmitted?"
Qi Yun said: "I would like to ask Your Excellency to send a letter to Wudang on behalf of the poor Dao, and ask Master Zun to come forward to inform the disciples of the Northern Dao Sect that the two disciples of the Wudang Sect, Qi Yun and Shangyang, are training in the Northern Land, and ask them to take more care of them."
The Huashan disciples were stunned for a moment, and then they understood that the other party didn't want to expose the fact that they were in Huashan, or rather, at least they didn't want to expose it on the surface, although they didn't know what the other party wanted to do, but they naturally wouldn't be stingy with this little matter.
"I see." The Huashan disciple nodded in agreement.
"Thank you." After Qi Yun said that, he went down the mountain to catch up with the sun.
......
At this moment, a foreign caravan under Huashan is passing through, and there are not only gift-giving envoys in the team, but also some foreign merchants, all of whom are going to the capital.
"Your Excellency, I heard that there were horse thieves in Huashan a few days ago, so we will be fine, right?" The fat businessman with a short stature took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from the top of his head.
The envoy smiled and reassured, "You don't have to worry, we are here to present gifts to the Central Plains Imperial Court, and those thieves dare not offend Tianyan."
Even so, the merchant still said with trepidation: "But I heard that those knights on the rivers and lakes never took the court seriously......
Before he could finish speaking, the horses pulling the cart in front of them were suddenly frightened, and the rope that bound them broke at some point, and the two frightened horses immediately began to run, and knocked over two merchants who had been evading the accident.
"Be careful!" The guards shouted loudly, and the group began to approach the carriage, and the already tense merchants were completely panicked, and a group of people pushed each other, and the scene was chaotic.
In the midst of the chaos, the guard suddenly saw a green light rushing in front of him, and before he could call for help, he felt a lightheadedness, and then lay down quietly on the ground.
"Something!"
In the face of those strange green rays, the guards swung their knives wildly, trying to disperse the light, but in vain, everyone was attracted by the green light, but not a single masked man quietly touched the side of the carriage's cargo box.
Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Beiming slowly opened the box, and when he saw the contents inside, he was dumbfounded, it was a huge stone the size of a well.
"What the hell, how can it be so big?" Beiming, who subconsciously spoke, immediately aroused the vigilance of the guards on the side.
"Who!" The guards immediately spotted the sneaky masked man Beiming, and when they saw him doing something to the gifts in the car, the group quickly surrounded him.
"It's not ...... good"
Bei Ming scolded secretly, and then slapped the first guard who rushed up, and after scaring the group of people, he reluctantly glanced back at the stone: "Anyway, this will definitely not be taken away, tsk...... But it doesn't make sense, according to the book, it should only be the size of a fist......
As if thinking of something, Bei Ming immediately slashed at the stone with a palm instead of a knife, but under his skill, the stone only left a shallow white mark.
"What the hell, so sturdy!" Bei Ming stammered.
Between hesitations, Cangyue in the shadows was a little anxious, her trick was time-limited, and on the premise of not killing and injuring these foreigners and causing irreparability, she didn't have much time to delay, so at this time, she couldn't help but come out of her hiding place and reminded Beiming loudly: "The time is coming!"
"And helpers!" The guards immediately discovered where Cangyue was.
"Damn!" Cangyue gritted her teeth, her Gu technique was a must-kill, those poisonous insects didn't show mercy to her subordinates, just when she hesitated whether to make a move, a sword light flashed, knocking all the guards to the ground.
In Cangyue's surprised gaze, Shangyang stepped into the air with a sword, and the messenger was simply stunned when he saw his guard being put down by a sword, and looked at the cold-faced Taoist priest who came step by step, and he warned in horror: "You-do you know who I am! If you dare to do anything to me, watch your head!"
Shangyang didn't pay attention, but in Beiming's puzzled gaze, he condensed his internal force on the sword blade, and then slammed towards the stones on the carriage, and the sword light that rushed into the sky almost drowned the entire carriage.
"You're crazy!"
Beiming shouted, but in the face of the Shenxiao Sword slashed out by Shangyang Shi's successful force, he was also furious and didn't dare to resist, so he had to grit his teeth to avoid it.
The sword light fell, directly splitting the stone in half, Shangyang saw that the stone had been destroyed, and immediately withdrew, and also met Qiyun who came from behind to greet him.
The senior brothers didn't need to say much when they met, they understood each other's meaning with a single look, Qi Yun turned his head to look at the caravan guards rolling on the ground and said, "This place is not suitable for a long time."
Shangyang nodded, then turned around and hugged Cangyue Yaoyao, the hesitation in his eyes flashed, and he immediately followed Qiyun away with light skills.
Thinking that everyone met by fate, and didn't even have time to say goodbye when they parted, Cangyue's expression was a little gloomy, and she shouted to Bei Ming on the side of the carriage that was split in two, "What are you still doing in a daze! Let's go!"
Then, she withdrew along the path first, while Bei Ming groped on the ground, and finally found what he wanted, looking at the crystal jade in his hand, the joy on his face could hardly be hidden.
"It's true...... It's really ......!"
After the surprise, Bei Ming immediately thought that he was still in danger, he looked at the jade in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then a strange thought suddenly welled up in his heart, he sent the god to stuff the stone into his sleeve, and stepped on Ling Bo to avoid the encirclement of several guards, and quickly disappeared from the sight of these people.
"Let him run!" The faces of a group of guards were extremely ugly, although there were no dead people, but the other party's attitude of coming and leaving as soon as they wanted still made them feel humiliated.
"Ah, how should this be!" The messenger looked at the stone that had been cut in half, and his expression was weeping, as if the sky had fallen.
Then the merchant who had escaped as a tortoise on the ground stepped forward and said, "Lord messenger, we have saved our lives."
"You know what!" The messenger pushed the merchant away, hugged the cracked stone, and said distressedly, "We want to exchange this treasure for the support of the Han Emperor, but now that the gifts are damaged, this is not effective...... When I return, I will be put to death by the king!"
The merchant rolled his eyes and said: "Don't worry, the villain has a way, the villain walks between the Central Plains and the Western Regions all the year round to sell goods in exchange for money, but you also know that this northwest trade road often encounters horse thieves, sometimes the goods will inevitably be damaged, especially some valuable jade ornaments, once the value will be greatly reduced, in order to save the capital, the villain has to find a way to restore the damaged goods and then sell them, over the years the villain's skills have been superb, to ensure that others can not see the gap in this order."
The messenger's eyes lit up, "You still have such a skill! Fabulous! Hurry up and restore the stone!"
The merchant smiled, "Your Excellency, you also know that if this kind of thing is exposed, the risk is not small......
The fat merchant rubbed his fingers, the meaning of asking for a favor was already very obvious, although he was disgusted with the other party's robbery, but the messenger still reluctantly promised a large amount of benefits, so the group continued to deliver gifts as if nothing had happened, and when they arrived at the station, the merchant immediately showed his superb craftsmanship, and quietly restored the appearance of the stone to the appearance it was before it was destroyed.
As for the theft of the jade inside, not to mention the emperor, even the envoys who gave the gifts did not know that there was something in the stone.
