Chapter 21: The Truth About the Destruction of the Gate

Zhao Dagongzi, named Zhao Baier. Studying under Liangzhou Forget Worries and Infinite Views, this person's talent and roots are good, and at the age of twenty, he has already built a foundation for the Great Perfection, and he is about to break through to the exorcism period.

Zhao Bai'er had just returned from the military camp outside the city this morning, dressed in a black riding uniform, with a black and shiny BMW under him and a sword hanging from his waist. As the general of Cangzhou City, he has placed eyeliner everywhere in the city, and he is always under surveillance of Mu Qing.

In the morning, he received a report from an informant that the stone god doctor from his pharmacy had entered the city lord's mansion, and he rushed back as soon as his men received the news.

He knew that he had no right to search the City Lord's Mansion, so he could only scold outside the mansion and feel more happy, and at the same time, it also attracted a lot of people in the city to stop and watch, so it was best to make a big fuss!

"Yo, who are you?" Zhao Bai'er knew that Mu Qing's body had been sick, so he just wanted to be angry with him, but he didn't expect to really scold someone.

Ji Beichen closed the door of the mansion with his hand, his face was kind, but his words were unceremoniously: "This brother, the city lord of Mu is in poor health now, please keep your mouth clean!" ”

"You!" Zhao Baier has been the coquettish son of Cangzhou City since he was a child, and he is admired by the people, how can he have such heavy words, and he was choked up and speechless for a while.

Ji Beichen saw that Zhao Bai'er stopped scolding and turned around to go home, he was not in the mood to deal with people now.

Zhao Bai'er really couldn't swallow this evil breath, seeing that Ji Beichen was only in the condensation period, he wanted to teach him a lesson, clenched the long sword on his waist, and said angrily: "Hmph, it's just a condensation period, what crazy are you!" ”

Ji Beichen's footsteps slowed down, turned around slowly, and saw Zhao Bai'er's domineering appearance, and laughed softly: "That's not necessarily, you may not be able to beat me, a waste in the condensation period." ”

He was most disgusted with arrogant cultivators, bullying mortals on the basis that he knew some spells, and at that moment she stood in place with her hands in her hands, looking at Zhao Bai'er with contempt.

"Then I'll beat you to beg me for mercy!" Zhao Bai'er said, he couldn't stand Ji Beichen's contempt for him anymore, turned around, turned over and dismounted, drew his sword, and slashed at Ji Beichen.

In the eyes of others, Ji Beichen is in a condensation period, and he is really not an opponent in the foundation building period. Seeing Zhao Bai'er draw his sword forward, he didn't release any water during that condensation period, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

When Ji Beichen saw Zhao Bai'er attacking, he smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and he was not in a hurry to take out his sword, but only looked at Zhao Bai'er's moves and sword intent carefully, quickly found the flaw, and dodged Zhao Bai'er's fierce attacks one after another.

Ji Beichen did not go out of the hexagram stall this morning, he was dressed in a white short robe, and his hair was not tied. At this moment, he was holding the Cangru Sword, calmly dodging Zhao Bai'er's moves, and he was absolutely out of the dust, like an immortal.

"What a handsome skill!"

"That's wonderful!"

All of a sudden, the voices of praise were everywhere, and among the onlookers, many of them were experts in kung fu, and they couldn't help but praise when they saw the black and white figures in the two fighting.

Ji Beichen has been meditating and cultivating all night every day since the retrograde operation of his true qi that day, and judging from the true qi in his body at this stage, his cultivation is indeed only a period of condensation. But what even he didn't know was that after these days and nights of hard training, his true qi had already been improved to the foundation building stage.

The true qi in his body was forcibly introduced by Yan Yueli in the Soul Separation Valley, and this method of retrograde operation of true qi is also the cultivation method of the Demon Sect, and the effect of the Demon Dao Qi training method is several times that of the Xianmen Qi training method.

At this moment, fighting with Zhao Bai'er, Ji Beichen suddenly felt the true qi in his body fluttering, and he couldn't restrain it, as if he was about to break out of his body, this situation had never happened before, and he had to end this battle as soon as possible.

"You're in a condensation period, can you only dodge?" Zhao Bai'er attacked several times, but the two of them did not make a move, they were very depressed in their hearts, and their words aroused Ji Beichen.

"Haha!" Ji Beichen saw Zhao Bai'er laughing at him, but he was not annoyed, jumped out of his attack range, and chuckled.

Seeing that Ji Beichen suddenly got rid of his attack, Zhao Bai'er immediately put away his sword and chest, concentrating his energy, intending to use a big move to defeat Ji Beichen.

"Here comes the sword!" Ji Beichen saw Zhao Bai'er use all his strength to strike, and decided to use the Cangxu Sword to resist this last move.

It is difficult for the Cangxu Sword to come out to fight, and it is extremely exciting at the moment. Knowing that the master's current cultivation is only in the condensation period, he low-key hid the indigo sword, looking like an ordinary sword. Hearing his master call him, he immediately flew out of the sheath and fell into Ji Beichen's hands.

"Is that condensation period dead?" When everyone saw that Ji Beichen was going to take Zhao Bai'er's sword move, they all felt that he would definitely be defeated.

The two long swords full of sword qi collided, and the surroundings were immediately exploded by the powerful true qi, and the onlookers were afraid of being injured by the sword qi, so they all hid in the distance, and only one person in the crowd rushed over anxiously to this side.

"Two brothers, stop!" The person who came was Zhao Ling'er, she had just come out of the Hangji Pharmacy with Grandpa Shi, and she saw a lot of people surrounding the City Lord's Mansion, and hurriedly came over to check the situation. Seeing that it was his two brothers who were fighting, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop the two.

Ji Beichen and Zhao Bai'er were fighting to a critical moment, but unexpectedly, Zhao Ling'er suddenly ran out, and Zhao Bai'er's big move had been made and could not be recovered.

"Ling'er, don't come here!" Zhao Bai'er watched Zhao Ling'er rush over, and hurriedly shouted for her to stop.

"Ling'er be careful!" Ji Beichen saw that Zhao Ling'er had entered the attack range, and hurriedly flew forward, hugged her in his arms, and exercised his true qi to protect her from harm.

"Sword Break!" The Cangxu Sword was thrown into the sky by Ji Beichen, the sword body emitted an indigo light, and the powerful sword qi broke through Zhao Bai'er's big move.

The indigo sword light shrouded the sky, and Zhao Bai'er's moves were all broken. With a "Zheng" sound, the saber in Zhao Bai'er's hand shattered in half, and the Cangxu Sword faded into light and returned to its scabbard, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Zhao Bai'er looked at the saber in half in his hand in surprise, this sword was a natal saber given to him by his master, how could it be broken? The other party is still only in the condensation period!

Zhao Bai'er didn't have time to think about it at this time, threw down the broken sword, and stepped forward to check Zhao Ling'er's situation: "Ling'er, how are you?" ”

Zhao Ling'er cheered up, and said to Zhao Bai'er weakly and anxiously: "Brother, I'm fine, don't embarrass Brother Ji anymore, he just rescues people with his heart, and I am all to blame for this matter!" Ahem......"

The day before yesterday, Zhao Ling'er concealed Zhao's shopkeeper's claim and accepted two carts of herbs sent by Xue San, she just wanted to play tricks on Xue San, but she didn't expect things to become like this, and Ji Beichen was involved.

Ji Beichen saw that Zhao Ling'er's hair was messy and his body was lying weakly in his arms, and he said distressedly: "Ling'er, don't talk anymore, I'll help you in first, and ask Senior Shi to come and heal you!" ”

Ji Beichen didn't look at Zhao Bai'er who was standing next to him, he picked up Zhao Ling'er in his arms and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Zhao Bai'er, who was ignored, blamed himself a little, he was not very skilled in using this big move, and he almost injured his sister today.

Although Zhao Bai'er didn't want to enter the City Lord's Mansion, he was really worried about Zhao Ling'er, so he followed the two of them and entered the City Lord's Mansion together.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Ji Beichen, Xue San, Zhao Shopkeeper, and Zhao Bai'er sat in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, and the atmosphere in the main hall was a little tense.

"Zhao Gongzi, please raise your noble hand and save my son-in-law's life!" Xue San didn't expect Ji Beichen to win against Zhao Bai'er and bring the Zhao family into the mansion.

"Save him? He had shown mercy to my aunt's family! Aunt and uncle read that his parents died, leaving him in the house, but he didn't expect to raise tigers, twelve years ago, he joined forces to kill more than 30 lives in the Mu family, and now the Mu family is left with him as a scum, he might as well die! ”

Zhao Bai'er was already angry that Xue San had deceived the stone god doctor into the City Lord's Mansion, but now seeing Xue San putting on a pitiful look, he stood up angrily and directly said what the Zhao family had doubts about for many years.

Shopkeeper Zhao was supposed to come with Baishi tomorrow, but he reacted that Zhao Ling'er secretly followed, but he didn't expect something to go wrong.

Seeing that his son was so excited, he hurriedly stopped him: "Bai'er, that's just our speculation, don't curse the city lord like this!" ”

"What a guess! We asked him many times for verification, but he avoided it, not to be a thief with a weak heart! Zhao Bai'er really couldn't swallow this evil breath, although he was a general guarding the city, but he couldn't find out the truth from twelve years ago, let alone Mu Qing's crime of collaborating with the enemy.

"Your Zhao family has wronged our Brother Mu!" I don't know when Mu Qing's nurse Mother Xue appeared in the main hall, Mother Xue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, stopped choking, and slowly told the truth of that day......

"Brother Mu has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and the Lord of Mu City asked me to be Brother Mu's nurse in his early years. When I first met Brother Mu, he was just a full moon, a thin and small person...... Brother Mu was well raised in the Mu family, and he was about to reach the crown that year, and Mrs. Zhao also married him for him, did you ever think about it......

Twelve years ago, Cangzhou City was affected by the nearby Demon Sect melee, and the Lord of Mu City led General Zhao, the general of the city to defend the city, swore to resist to the death, but he didn't want to make a detailed work in the city, and the Mu family had thirty-two ...... Brutally killed......"

Mother Xue choked up again, eased her emotions, and continued: "I remember that early that morning, Brother Mu hadn't gotten up in the backyard room, and I was busy working in the dining hall. Suddenly, there was a shout of killing in the front yard, and then there were many black-clad and masked people in the backyard, and they killed people when they saw them, and I fainted in fright in the dining room! When I woke up again, I was in Brother Mu's room......

I saw Brother Mu sitting on the edge of the bed with dull eyes, I thought he was scared stupid, I ran out of the room to look all over the house, but there was no one, not even the blood stains of the corpse, as if the whole house of more than 30 people had disappeared out of thin air! I knew it was bad, and when I came back to ask Brother Mu what happened, he just cried and refused to say anything! ”

Everyone listened quietly for fear of missing something, and when they heard this, they were all depressed in their hearts, and they felt sympathy and pity for Mu Qing, and Ji Beichen was even more heartbroken.

Mother Xue had already burst into tears, and continued with tears in distress: "Brother Mu became an orphan of the Mu family, so he reported to the capital and became the city lord of Cangzhou City. That's all I know, although I haven't seen the truth with my own eyes, I don't believe that it was Brother Mu who united to harm the Mu family, he is also the bloodline of the Mu family, how can he do such a thing! ”

Speaking of this, Mother Xue couldn't cry anymore. Seeing that his mother finally told the truth that had been buried in his heart for twelve years, Xue San stepped forward to hug his crying mother and took her back to the room to rest.

He only heard from his mother today about these past events, and on the day of the incident, the prince sent him out of the city to run errands, and he escaped the catastrophe. Although he has never seen the truth, he, like his mother, believes that Childe is not that kind of person.

Xue San and Xue's mother went back to the backyard, leaving Ji Beichen, Zhao Shopkeeper, and Zhao Bai'er in the main hall, and the three of them each digested the truth that Xue's mother had just said, and the main hall was silent for a while......
