055: Dusk
Li Changyuan sat down slowly, and after putting his butt back on the stool, he heard that this Yan Songyong had changed back to a serious face, and the kind face that had been smiling and smiling before disappeared, and his voice was a little quieter:
"Yan is a member of the imperial court, a military attache in office, a second grade, the chief soldier, Your Excellency?"
Rosa: 'Well, this time it's sincere. ’
Li Changyuan squinted slightly vigilantly and replied:
"Li Changyuan in this seat, a ronin swordsman, is not enough to worry about."
"Ronin Swordsman?"
"Not like?"
“……”
Yan Songyong didn't dare to agree, but he didn't dare to deny it, after all, it was the first time he had seen a monk who was younger than himself, but his intuition was terrifyingly sharp. Yan Songyong silently poured Li Changyuan another cup of tea, and asked slowly:
"I wonder why Your Excellency calls yourself 'this seat'?"
"Children are ignorant and shouting and playing."
Li Changyuan said casually, making Yan Songyong's brain a mess, this ...... Can you still scream and play?
Yan Songyong suddenly became interested, since he couldn't ask anything, it was better to see the true chapter with his fists and swords, maybe he could see the other party's sect, and judge which sect the other party came from, so thinking about it is much simpler than in this set of words, besides, although Yan Songyong looks like a crepe, he is a military attache of the imperial court, why is he afraid of folk monks?
"Brother Tai, don't hide it, Yan has something to ask for."
"Say."
"As a military attache in the imperial court, Yan's cultivation is more important than his brain, but Yan's cultivation over the years has reached a bottleneck, and he has not been able to break through for a long time, so he asked his brother to give him advice."
"You want to trick me?"
Li Changyuan said it so bluntly, which made Yan Songyong very embarrassed.
It's nothing to be seen through, the important thing is that Li Changyuan really doesn't give the other party a face, he will say whatever comes to his mind, and he won't see if there are steps under the other party's feet......
Li Changyuan said from Gu Zi:
"But it's okay, I also have time in the last two days, it's already very good that you can be honest with me, listen to your arrangement, where are you going to fight?"
"There is a meeting place in the center of the city, which is empty, and if the brother does not dislike it, we will fight there."
"Oh, when?"
Yan Songyong really couldn't react, he didn't expect the other party to be so stunned, he didn't care about the feelings of others, and he didn't know if he had gone through his brain when he spoke, and as soon as he finished speaking, Li Changyuan immediately came out with the next sentence, not giving Yan Songyong time to think at all.
"Ahh,......h I think it's better tonight, and it's better to have a fight when there is less sight. ”
"Okay, see you in the center of the venue when the moon climbs three feet."
After speaking, Li Changyuan got up and left, and when he went downstairs to the next floor, he happened to bump into the shopkeeper tapping on the abacus at the counter. Wow, familiar faces, it seems that the owner of this restaurant has not been replaced.
Li Changyuan stepped forward and knocked on the countertop, and as soon as the shopkeeper who was immersed in settling accounts looked up, as if he had seen his ancestors, he startled himself and shouted:
"Ahh You're here! Sit, sit, sit. ”
Li Changyuan waved his hand:
"Excuse me, give me a key, I'll go up and open a room and get ready for bed."
"Eh, okay, okay."
Subsequently, Li Changyuan took the key, went to the third floor, found the location of the room ordered by the shopkeeper, opened the door and went in to clean up. It was still early, and the sun hadn't set yet, so Li Changyuan said that he wanted to prepare for sleep.
On the second floor, Yan Songyong saw Li Changyuan go up to the third floor, guessing that he should have cleaned up the bedroom, there was no other superfluous sight around, Yan Songyong slowly took out an unsealed letter from the placket of his chest.
On the letter paper are a few simple lines:
"Xiao Yan, Master, I'm so bored here in Barbarian City, I heard that you are investigating extraterritorial clues over there in Nankeng City, and it just so happens that I asked you to help me do something, and help me inquire there, there is no young man named Li Changyuan. ’
Yan Songyong got up and went downstairs, went to the counter to ask for paper and pencils, and the shopkeeper studied the ink in advance because he also used it, and Yan Songyong took advantage of the time to write a creed.
Picked up the letter paper and hung it in the air for a while, and after the ink on the handwriting was dry, he folded it a few times, handed the letter to the shopkeeper, and said softly and solemnly:
"Seal it and send it to a person named Shangguan Yuan on the side of Barbarian City, there must be no mistake."
"Ah yes, definitely! Certain! ”
The shopkeeper was very polite and replied very respectfully.
Because, he also knows Yan Songyong's identity, when Yan Songyong entered this restaurant before, Yan Songyong privately showed his waist card to the shopkeeper to take a look.
Although the shopkeeper did not know the shape of the token of the chief soldier and the deputy governor, he was not illiterate, and he could understand the words on the sign.
'Oh, yes......
Yan Songyong paid for two tables and was about to walk out of the restaurant, when he suddenly thought that he had not asked Li Changyuan about his realm cultivation.
‘……’
In retrospect, as a martial cultivator, a ten-fold cultivator in the Blazing Breath Realm, he still couldn't see through Li Changyuan's realm strength, huh,...... Could it be that kid is a heavenly realm?
'Well......, it can't be, hehe, how is it possible, I must have forgotten to pay attention. ’
Yan Songyong is a very trustworthy person, whether it is the court or the friends around him, what he promised them, Yan Songyong will complete it as soon as possible and with all his heart. As early as a few days ago, when he came to Nankeng City, Yan Songyong investigated all the people in and out here, and did not find any monks outside the territory.
Since there was nothing else to do, Yan Songyong planned to go around the area now, and then go to the city venue to wait for Li Changyuan to arrive.
Nankeng City is not big, it is not small, just rely on a walk to walk all the streets and alleys of Nankeng City, and it is guaranteed to take an hour or two.
At night, it is even more crowded, and the streets are more lively.
Adults and children all come out to visit the downtown area, and only at this time does Nankeng City look like a 'city'. In the past, when the case was discussed in the Wolong City Palace, most of the civil officials thought that the size of the area here in Nankeng City was not a city in any way, and could only be called a large village.
Later, Yan Songyong didn't know what the process of that council was, but anyway, when the result came out, Nankeng City was still defined as a city.
He was wandering down the street when he suddenly heard a burst of bustle from the courtyard of a large family in the distance. It doesn't seem to be festive, it's ...... What are you arguing about?
Yan Songyong intended to inquire, but he didn't knock directly on the door or climb over the wall to enter, but just approached the gate and listened carefully to the quarrel of the people inside. It seemed to be an old man's voice, reprimanding someone:
"You are a rebel, what is good not to learn, to learn from those ruffians and hooligans, and to learn that others will repay you, you have the ability to do it, what ability do you have to bear the consequences!"
"Dead old man, don't look down on people, I don't leave any tail in my work, if you don't say it, I won't say it, how can he know that it must be me who did it!"
"You're still quibbling!"
"That dog mongrel cut off both of my legs! I'm your own son! Are you helping outsiders like this!? ”
"Me! ……”
Later, I heard the sound of some smashing furniture, the sound of broken ceramics mixed with scolding and roaring, and I couldn't hear what I was saying clearly. After leaving this big family, Yan Songyong continued to wander around the city.
The moon rises three feet, and it is about midnight.
Gradually, most of the people in the city turned off the lights and went to bed, and the time was about the same, and Yan Songyong went to the agreed place.
At this time, the venue was empty.
It's only bustling with the annual Castle Martial Arts Festival, and the rest of the day, when few people come here.
Looking up at the moon in the sky, there was still a corner missing from the full circle, which was rare at such a time at the end of spring.
"Yo, it's early."
Li Changyuan's voice sounded in the distance, and someone came.
The two walked to the center of the venue, and Li Changyuan seemed to be missing something tonight.
"Where's your sword?"
Li Changyuan naturally responded:
"I didn't bring it."
Yan Songyong patted the saber on his waist with his hand and said:
"Look, I carry a knife with me, and if I really want to fight, I think it would be better if you had a weapon in your hand."
Li Changyuan smiled and tilted his head:
"Hehe, others can't see it, I can't see it yet, what's the use of your martial arts cultivator with a knife, it's just because the court has requirements, you carry a pretending to be on your waist, if you really want to talk about it, you will also show that it is better to use your fists, right?"
"Hahahaha! ~”
Yan Songyong laughed heartily and praised Li Changyuan:
"Those who know me, Li Changyuan is also!"
"Less polite, let's get started."
Li Changyuan was not polite, he didn't smile when he saw it, and after saying it with a straight face, he was in a posture of stepping back and forth, with his fists one in front and one back, up and down.
'This ...... What is the punch? ’
Yan Songyong has never seen such a starting style, Yan Songyong, who thinks he is well-informed, is the first time he has seen this, and he can't wait to try it, so he also disappeared his smile, let go of the saber on his waist, threw the knife to the ground on the side, and started to stance.
After a while, smell the wind and move!
"Fight!"
"Come!"
The two of them instantly started at the same time, rushing towards each other, and in the blink of an eye, their fists and feet intersected, and they were not divided within a few breaths.
Although there was no sudden sound of swords clattering, and there was no fire of the tangential blades, the real fists to the flesh, and a dull blow was either blocked to the outside of Li Changyuan's elbow, or blocked in front of Yan Songyong's raised knee.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fists are windy, the naked eye is hard to catch, the fists are crazy, and the wind and rain are unknown!!
It is rare for Li Changyuan to experience this long-lost pleasure, this is the duel that Wu Xiu dreamed of, this is the challenge! Tonight, who will be the first to push their limits? Whoever wins the duel!
"Huh!"
"Well done! Take me this trick! ”
Yan Songyong swept his legs, Li Changyuan is no longer the soft-skinned kid back then, this move is menacing, but! It's okay, dodge? Hehe, how can I be the one who steals power.
"Useless!"
Yan Songyong swept a sturdy leg to Li Changyuan's erected arm, catering to the clamped arm bend and shoulder, dissipating at least seventy percent, not a very strong body, but stiffly resisting Yan Songyong's ninety percent strength.
What a happy boy!
'Heh, this kid, this martial cultivator, I really like it! ’
"Deputy Governor, what are you distracted?!"
Li Changyuan shouted loudly, and then when he didn't let go of Yan Songyong's right leg, his right arm straightened his back, lifted up and turned to stop, and instantly slammed down towards Yan Songyong's chest:
Big Moon Hook!!
Yan Songyong was distracted for a moment, but Li Changyuan took advantage of the loophole, this blow stands to reason that Yan Songyong can protect his arms in front of his chest and hold Li Changyuan's punch with ninety percent of the strength, but it is a short moment of distraction, and Yan Songyong has no time to completely raise his arms.
Adapting to the situation, Yan Songyong turned to open his hands, folded his palms, the backs of his hands against his chest, and jumped back with his feet in front of his chest to meet Li Changyuan's high-pressure punch to slow down the impact.
Boom!
"Hmm!!"
Reluctantly, he still ate three points of strength, and his chest was dull, which made Yan Songyong a little out of breath for a while, but fortunately, the abdominal skeleton was not damaged.
"Again?"
Li Changyuan saw that Yan Songyong was a little out of state, so he asked, and Yan Songyong's resolute and resolute answer also won Li Changyuan's heart:
"Come!"
The two are silent, and the friendship between men may only need one look.
And the most sincere greetings between martial arts and cultivators are only between fists!
Three watches, sweat like rain.
The two kept fighting like this, until the sky was dark, and Yan Songyong couldn't stand it before shouting:
"Stop!"
After raising their hands and shouting to stop, the two of them pulled away some distance, both bent over with their hands on their knees, panting for breath, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, Yan Songyong fell directly backwards and lay on the ground in a big shape.
His chest rose and fell violently, sweating profusely, Yan Songyong had this kind of fatigue for the first time, his whole body was sore, and he received a lot of fists in almost every place.
In the end, Yan Songyong also spared no effort to attack, but he was also parried by Li Changyuan.
I have to say that it is true that the two fought inextricably, and it is also true that no one took any advantage.
Li Changyuan's physical strength is okay, and he will not lie on the ground directly tired, the ground is not clean, his clothes are already soaked with sweat, and when he lies on the ground, he will want to cry without tears when he turns around and washes his clothes by himself.
"Huh——、 Huh——、 Huh——......"
"Ha, haha——、 ha, you kid, you can really fight."
Yan Songyong approvingly.
Li Changyuan also smiled heartily:
"Hahaha, you're not bad, you are the first one who can stay with me for a night."
"Huh——, Brother Li, I'm curious, what realm are you?"
"Ground ......"
As soon as Li Changyuan's words burst out of his mouth, he realized that something was wrong and immediately changed his words:
"Blazing Realm, eleven."
Yan Songyong was a little shocked:
"Huh? Eleventh, isn't Brother Li joking? ”
"Hehehehe,"
Li Changyuan gasped and added:
"It's just the eleventh level that I broke through a few days ago, it's not enough to see, but it's actually only ten layers of strength."
"Huh, that's also very good, I'm only at the realm of the Blazing Breath Realm, obviously you won this battle, Yan Mou, I lost convincingly!"
"Hahahaha, it's over soon, why do you care so much."
Yan Songyong lay on the ground, his eyes fluttering in the sky, and after his breath stabilized, he asked:
"Brother Li, the strength between the Blazing Breath Realm and the Tianyun Realm is like the sky and the sea, why don't you break through to the Tianyun Realm, but instead go to the eleventh level, that would be a bit reluctant to seek the near and far."
"Hehehe, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, the child is not sensible, and he is playing."
Li Changyuan said jokingly again, the two smiled when they met, and did not say anything to him.
After a while, they were almost rested, and the sky was bright, Li Changyuan said goodbye to Yan Songyong:
"Let's go, go back to the restaurant to change and sleep for a while."
"Well, farewell."
……
In Wolong City, in the imperial palace in the city, civil officials ran up and down non-stop, all carrying piles of documents in their arms and going to the same place. In general, they were sent to the main hall of the palace, and in the main hall, it was not the emperor who sat down, but the emperor's...... Mom.
Yes, the emperor has been so busy lately that he fell ill directly in bed, and now it is the queen mother who is in power.
Recently, there have been murders in the city and around the various cities on the Qiu Jin Continent, and the nearby large and small sects are also very busy. Although some sect members don't ask about idle things, after all, no one in their sect has ever been killed, when this series of events first happened, some sharp-eyed sects ordered all disciples not to go out of the mountain.
As for the Illusory Sky Sword Sect, their situation was a little different......
"Great Elder, you can see the documents from the last issue here."
In addition to sleeping and relieving his hands in the past few days, the great elder has not left the seat of the main seat of the main hall of the sect, and the documents are presented in piles and piles, and twenty percent of them are posts that the disciples want to go down the mountain to experience, how can this be criticized, I don't know how chaotic it is outside now!
Da Da
……
Near the Illusory Sky Sword Sect, two people came here aimlessly.
"Look, there's a mountain flying in the sky."
"It's rare, to be able to see such a landscape in the Fragmented Continent, it must be the handiwork of a junior leader."
"Do you want to go up and have a look?"
The two men were dressed in the same way, both in blue robes, with a white sash around their waists, and the flat-shouldered shirt was dotted with some silver-white embroidery, like starlight gradually thinning downward.
These two people are from the Star Dao Sect.
"Well, let's go, go up and have a look."
This time, the Star Dao Sect sent the disciples to the Qiu Jin Continent.
At the beginning, only two people came over, and one of them was Leng Zikuan, the peak master of Juqing Peak, but Leng Zikuan came for two days, and no news was transmitted back to the Star Dao Sect at all, and so was the personal disciple who carried him. The people in the sect thought that something had changed, and it stands to reason that the distance from the Star Dao Sect to the Fragment Continent, judging from the strength of the peak master's leng self-forgiving realm, a round-trip trip would not exceed half a day.
The sect master of the Star Dao Sect was not worried, but the disciples on the Giant Green Peak were in a hurry, and they all played to the sect master, asking the disciples of the Giant Green Peak to come out of the mountain and go to the Fragment Continent to find the peak master.
Two days later, there were 500 disciples of the Star Dao Sect, and it took them two days to rush here.
It was also from that time that the Qiu Jin Continent fell into chaos......
