Chapter Ninety-Six: The Swordsman and the Dao Kingdom

This heavy snow not only fell on Meiling, at the junction of Nanyu and Nanbaiguo, but also on the eastern region of Nanmenghuazhou.

In a large city in the eastern region, there is a quiet courtyard.

A tall swordsman had just finished his retreat and walked out of the sword room and came to the courtyard.

It was still dawn, and the sky was not yet bright, but there was a young man in a blue silk brocade robe in the pavilion in the courtyard, who was playing chess and admiring the snow.

"Lao He, what has happened in Jiuzhou recently?" The tall swordsman who had just come out of the customs sat down on the opposite side of the chessboard and asked.

The young man left a son and replied with a smile: "There is no big thing, but there is a small thing, I think you should be interested." ”

After speaking, he handed over a newspaper from the Immortal Family.

The tall swordsman took the Xianjiadi newspaper with some suspicion, and was immediately attracted by the above report.

"Xiao Ye of Gezhou in the north, defeated Brother Jun Ru with one punch?"

"He even said in public that Brother Jun Ru is far worse than Hanshan Li?"

The young man surnamed He nodded and smiled: "Yes, how is it, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Bang!

The tall swordsman slammed his fist into the stone table, knocking the chessboard and chess pieces into the air.

"What do you think, that Xiao Ye defeated Brother Jun Ru with one punch, Jun Ru's skills are not as good as others, there is nothing to say. But how could he insult Jun Ru in public like this? ”

"He wants to make a name for Li Xiangyi in Beizhi Gezhou, and he shouldn't treat Junru as a stepping stone like this, he can't be humiliated, Xiao Ye's husband is simply too deceitful!"

"What do the others think about this?"

The young man surnamed He pressed his right hand weakly, let the chessboard and all the chess pieces that flew up fall back to the stone table, and then said in a good time: "Xiao Ye asked the fist of the earth god continent, he has won dozens of games in a row, and even the old pseudo-martial god has been killed, and no one is his opponent. ”

"He has already fought an invincible momentum, and now the entire Middle Earth Divine Continent is talking about it, he is Ye Guiren in the martial arts realm of Beizhi Gezhou, and under the saint, there is no opponent."

"So most people, even if they are dissatisfied, are helpless."

The tall swordsman named Ling Yantian, and the young son He Jingxing, both came from a certain family in the Middle Earth Divine Continent, but one practiced swords, and the other was in business, and they were both on the latest continent list of the Middle Earth Divine Continent, and they were all famous young grandmasters of the continent.

And they are all with Wang Junru, a young sage who was born in the Jixia School Palace, and they have a good relationship.

Hearing He Jingxing's words at this time, Ling Yantian frowned and said, "Who are the people who lost to Xiao Ye?" Song Qunxian, Lu Zongguo, Qiu Mingjia, Yi Tianxing, and Dongfang Dangjun were also defeated? ”

He Jingxing shook his head slightly: "None of these people have come to an end, some of them are in retreat with Brother Ling, some are not in Middle-earth when they go out to travel, and some may not want to have a temporary dispute with Xiao Ye." ”

The two mentioned that these people are all the younger generation of the Middle Earth Divine Continent, and they can be called demonic existences, and their talent and combat power far surpass their peers.

For example, Song Qunxian was born in Xingtan, and among the younger generation of Confucianism, he ranked more than Wang Junru's young saint.

The others are either from other two sects and hundreds of schools, or from a thousand-year-old family and a first-class immortal sect.

As the largest continent in the world, the Middle Earth Divine Continent has no shortage of geniuses in every generation, otherwise it would not be able to overpower the four continents of Beizhige Continent, East Penglai Continent, South Menghua Continent, and West Pure Land Continent.

"Those who go out to travel and retreat, not to mention, the others are bullshit and don't want to do a temporary battle, but I'm afraid that they are all afraid of Xiao Ye's house, afraid of losing under his fist."

"When did I fall to this place?"

"Could it be that this Xiao Ye is really not as good as Ye Guiren?"

After hearing this, Ling Yantian angrily reprimanded, as a person from the Supreme Sword Sect of the Middle Earth Divine Continent, he looked down on this kind of cowardly behavior.

As a monk of the Middle-earth Divine Continent, how could he not have an invincible heart? How can you be afraid of other geniuses?

When the wind and snow cliff leaves returned to the people, crossed the sea, and asked the sword world, even if he knew that he was invincible, he still drew his sword.

Although Ye Guiren didn't even look at him, when he defeated his senior brother, he was defeated with a wave of sword energy.

But in the end, he drew his sword, and no one dared to underestimate him when he said it.

And Song Qunxian and Yi Tianxing didn't even dare to show their faces, didn't they let Xiao Ye and the whole world look down on the entire Middle Earth Divine Continent?

Think that the first continent in the world can't find a person with eggs?

No wonder Xiao Ye will say in public that Jun Ru is a brother, not as good as Hanshan Li Xiangyi, this is not humiliating Jun Ru brother, but humiliating the entire Middle Earth Divine Continent.

"I want to publish in the newspaper and scold Song Qunxian, Lu Zongguo, and Yi Tianxing, what a young saint, an invincible divine son, and a peerless sword embryo, they are all a bunch of soft eggs!"

Ling Yantian was still unhappy and scolded again.

He Jingxing smiled and said: "Song Qunxian, Lu Zongguo, and Yi Tianxing have all traveled, you better change a group of people to scold, otherwise you have to scold yourself first." ”

"Besides, the abuse doesn't have any effect, these people can't make a move, they all have their own considerations, the main reason is that Xiao Ye's invincibility is too strong now."

"In my opinion, even if Song Qunxian, a young saint, ends, he may not be able to defeat him, otherwise Jun Ru brother will not be defeated with one punch."

Ling Yantian was stunned for a moment and asked, "Since this is the case, then why does he dare to say that if he changes Hanshan Li Xiangyi, he will not be defeated by him?" ”

"Could it be that Li Xiangyi, who was born in Beizhi Gezhou, is really more powerful than Song Qunxian, a young saint who was born in the Confucian apricot altar?"

He Jingxing handed over several more Xianjiadi newspapers, all of which had records about Li Xiangyi, especially two of them, both of which used great space to compare Xiao Ye's two questions with Li Xiangyi and Wang Junru respectively.

"Xiao Ye's arrogant words may not have deliberately belittled and humiliated Brother Jun Ru in order to make a name for Li Xiangyi, but he said the truth."

"This Hanshan Li Xiangyi may be more powerful than everyone expected."

The Spirit Turtle Town followed the Taixu Old Turtle on its journey to the south, and finally landed in the Middle Earth Divine Continent.

After Xiao Ye released those words, a messenger with a powerful fairy mansion reported that he went to the Spirit Turtle Town and found the townspeople who had witnessed the battle.

It was confirmed that in the original long street questioning boxing, Xiao Ye and Li Xiangyun did fight evenly between each other.

In addition to that battle, these Xianjiadi newspapers also recorded Li Xiangyun's performance in the Candlelight Cave Heaven, although Li Xiangyun held the Vientiane Update Seal and suppressed the violent Black Emperor, which was covered up by the Jiuzhou Pavilion Lord, Donghua Mountain God Lord Yun Twilight, and the United Ju Mangchun God.

However, the news that he used the evil light of killing immortals to kill several saints in the immortal forbidden ruins still spread.

Coupled with Xiao Ye's words, it will naturally make people with a heart guess Li Xiangyi's true realm.

After reading all the Immortal Mansion Newspapers, Ling Yantian's face was a little calm, and after a while, he spoke: "Li Xiangtian's performance in the Candlelight Cave Heaven is not surprising, if you and I are anyone, there is an evil light of killing immortals, and he can also slaughter saints and kill gods, his real combat power should not be as strong as you think." ”

He Jingxing said: "One of these Di newspapers said that Li Xiangyi had killed a pseudo-saint in the Immortal Forbidden Ruins, although it was only a lonely article, and there was no other Di newspaper to corroborate it, but since it was said, it should not be underestimated. ”

Ling Yantian replied, "Maybe it's also the Immortal Killing Evil Light that you rely on, or other foreign objects. ”

He Jingxing said: "Your guess also has some truth, but it's a pity that most of what happened in the candlelight cave was covered up and erased, and turned into a fog, and we can't know." ”

Ling Yantian suddenly flashed a trace of arrogance, and said: "Xiao Ye defeated the old pseudo-martial god, and the Di Bao said that Li Xiangyi had killed the pseudo-saint, but there are not only the two of them in the world, they can cross the level to slaughter the saint!" ”

He Jingxing was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "Brother Burning Heaven, your retreat this time is not only to cultivate the peerless swordsmanship you said before, but also to make a big breakthrough?" ”

"Yes!"

Ling Yantian's face was full of pride, and an incomparably powerful sword intent flowed from his body.

"This is a half-step sword immortal? No, it's much stronger than a half-step sword immortal, and it's only the last line away from being able to cross the immortal mortal moat and become an eleventh realm sword immortal? ”

He Jingxing was surprised and delighted: "Congratulations to Brother Burning Heaven, congratulations to Brother Burning Heaven!" ”

"I didn't think that Brother Burning Heaven's seemingly ordinary retreat actually allowed you to surpass Yi Tianxing, Dongfang Dangjun and others, and walk in front of everyone."

"I'm afraid that even Song Qunxian, a young saint who is believed by many sages and is expected to break through the realm within three years, is not as good as the realm of kings!"

Ling Yantian accepted all of He Jingxing's words of congratulations and asked, "What do you think of me compared to Xiao Ye?" ”

He Jingxing replied honestly: "I haven't seen Xiao Ye make a move with my own eyes, I don't know how powerful his fist is, Brother Burning Heaven fought against him, it's hard to say what the result will be, but at least stand on the same realm." ”

Ling Yantian smiled and said, "That's good, I'll go find Li Xiangyi!" ”

"Huh? Looking for Li Xiangyi? Didn't Brother Burning Heaven go to find Xiao Ye? ”

"Xiao Ye is far away in the Middle Earth Divine Continent, thousands of miles away, I still have to escort you to the southeast Qing Jiazhou, it is not good to look for him for the time being, but these immortal mansions reported that Li Xiangyi is in Nanmeng Huazhou, so I will look for him first."

He Jingxing blinked, looked back, and said, "Xiao Ye defeated Brother Jun Ru and elevated Li Xiangyi, so you plan to follow his example and defeat Li Xiangyun as well?" ”

Ling Yantian nodded: "Yes, if Xiao Ye defeats Brother Jun Ru with one punch, I will also defeat Li Xiangyun with one sword, so that I can prove to the world that Li Xiangyi is nothing more than that, not one point better than Brother Jun Ru." ”

He Jingxing was a little crying and laughing.

But he must admit that although Brother Burning Sky's thoughts are a bit unexpected, they do make sense.

Didn't you Xiao Ye say that after defeating the young sage Wang Junru with one punch, he was far worse than Li Xianglai?

Then I Ling Yantian defeated Hanshan Li Xiangyi with one sword, and naturally it can be said that he is far worse than Wang Jun Rulai.

"I'll go!"

Without waiting for He Jingxing to say anything, the tall Ling Yantian turned into a sword rainbow and left.

"Tsk, that's a mess."

"Li Xiangyi, Li Xiangyi, you can't blame Brother Burning Heaven for this, you can only blame Xiao Ye!"

He Jingxing shook his head and laughed, muttered twice, and continued to play chess.

……

Above Meiling, the sky was bright and the snow had stopped.

Li Xiangyi got up early and made a simple breakfast, and after eating, he led the second child, led the green donkey, and continued south along the ancient road.

Two days later, they passed through the southern hundred countries and came to another small country called Qingwu.

Qingwu is a Taoist country.

The so-called Taoist kingdom is the same as the Buddhist kingdom in the Western Pure Land Continent, that is, not only Taoism is established as the state religion, but even the entire country is directly ruled by the Taoist sect.

Its supreme head is the National Teacher, and the highest decision-making body is the Taoist Academy.

The monarch of Qingwu and the hundred civil and military officials are all responsible to the Daomen National Teacher, and the Prison Star Academy, which supervises the hundred officials, and even the generals of the military camp, are also directly under the control of the Daoist Academy.

This kind of country is not uncommon in the continent of Nanmenghuazhou.

But walking in the territory of Qingwu Country made Li Xiangyi a little uncomfortable.

First, the official road of Qingwu Kingdom is narrow and dilapidated, not to mention compared with the official road of Nanyu Kingdom, where Yangming Academy is located, and compared with Nanbai Kingdom, which is also a small country, it is much worse.

Second, there are ragged beggars in various villages, small towns, and even several small towns passing by, begging for food.

This is the place where Li Xiangyi has seen the most beggars since he got off the Hanshan Academy.

And there are a lot of beggars, all of whom are not old people called Hanako, but some young adults, and even many of them are dragging their families, and a family of five or six people is begging.

Li Xiangyun and Er Xiao couldn't bear it, and took out the money to buy a lot of food and share it with these beggars.

However, the goods he carried were limited after all, so how could he give to so many people?

"Big brother, why are there so many beggars in various places in this Qingwu country?" Ning Xiaozhi looked up at Li Xiangyi, she was very young, and she didn't quite understand why this was happening.

Maomao National Master scolded: "This still needs to be asked, it must be that this Qingwu court is rotten, otherwise this Qingwu country is fertile for thousands of miles, and there are plains everywhere, how can there be so many people who can't eat?" ”

"Xiao Lizi, let's go to the palace tonight, and what kind of bullshit Dao Courtyard, beat up the monarch Lao'er and the bullshit national teacher!"

"How did these fools become kings and teachers?"

The little milk kitten is really angry.

In its few memories, even if Tianxiang Kingdom experienced a catastrophe, or the invasion of several surrounding countries, and the country was at its most difficult, there had never been such disaster victims and beggars.

Nowadays, there are so many monks of various families, and there are many mountains and little flat land, so you can send monks to level the land, dig into terraced fields, or even directly bulldoze the mountains.

If you don't have seeds, you can ask the peasant monk for help.

In a severe drought and lack of water, you can find a monk in the aqueduct to go to the river to carry water, or directly cast a spell to rain.

Insect plagues, frosts, floods, and other disasters that affect the harvest are not a problem, and the monks can be found to deal with them.

The children of the Mo family even invented many puppets for farming, harvesting, transporting, and drying, so that ordinary farmers could also use them.

In this case, as long as the court officials are not in the water in their brains, how can they make the whole country beggars and unable to eat?

Li Xiangyi glanced at the farmland outside the city, and then looked at the gorgeous Taoist temples in the city, and said: "The monarch of this Qingwu country, especially the national teacher of the Taoist Academy, is not a stupid person who can't govern this country well, but in their eyes, there are no such poor people. ”

Maomao National Teacher and Ning Xiaozhi were both a little puzzled.

Li Xiangyun said: "Look at the farmland outside the city, all of them are planted with elixirs for Daomen alchemy, and spiritual wood for refining magic weapons. ”

"This is just one place, if the whole country is like this, how can it not be starving all over the wilderness, and begging all over the city?"

The cat national teacher glanced at it, suddenly realized, and then said murderously: "You are right, so that the monarch and the national teacher, especially the national teacher of the Taoist Academy, deserve to die even more!" ”

"Cats, cats, let's shoot them to death!"

Li Xiangyun stopped: "It's simple to kill the national teacher and the monarch, but it's not easy to change the national conditions of this Qingwu country." ”

The national teacher of the cat said unhappily: "Then what should I do?" ”

Li Xiangyi thought for a while and replied, "I had to leave it to him to deal with." ”
